Jiang Danfeng did not catch a cold, nor did she rest, but concentrated on studying exchange rates and financial issues in her residence, because she was assigned by Du Qiu to do something that she had only heard of before, but had never done before-speculating in foreign exchange. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

To be precise, speculative yen exchange rates.

On the morning of April 1, Du Qiu took out a book on foreign exchange investment and a foreign exchange account authorization letter with $20,000 in funds on the grounds that Jiang Danfeng's work content was too little and needed to be pressurized, and asked her to buy and sell the USD/JPY exchange rate.

"Settle your earnings once a day, and if you make a profit, you will be given a 5% commission, and if you lose, you will be deducted 5% of your salary. ”

When he got the account authorization letter, Jiang Danfeng was a little excited, feeling that he had finally gained Du Qiu's trust, evolved from a translator and nanny to a real secretary, and began to get in touch with a job that made a lot of money, but after reading the book on foreign exchange investment, the excitement immediately turned into anxiety.

Foreign exchange trading is the world's largest and most complex financial products, there are trillions of dollars of money flowing every day, extremely risky, such as March 31 USD/JPY exchange rate of 1:86.85, the last decimal point jumps, a $100,000 standard foreign exchange contract will bring about $11.5 gains or losses, and Du Qiu requires at least 50 times leverage, in this way, $20,000 can buy 10 standard contracts, and the last decimal point will make or lose hundreds of dollars every time it moves.

Jiang Danfeng majored in international trade, and learned a lot of knowledge about exchange rates in four years of college, but the same thing has different ways to play in different fields, and trade and finance are completely different things, so the content in the textbook can only be used for exams, and cannot be used as a reference for practical operation at all.

20,000 US dollars is equivalent to 170,000 yuan, she has never controlled such a huge amount of money, she feels a great responsibility, dare not act rashly, not only read the thin primer over and over again several times, but also went out to find a bookstore, bought five or six financial books of all kinds out of her own pocket, and then used Yahoo to find a few websites related to foreign exchange investment, compared with each other, studied for a whole day, and did not even go out of the house.

April 1st and 2nd is the weekend, the foreign exchange market is not open, so Jiang Danfeng has two days to study, the more he studied, the more panicked he became, he felt too much pressure, and deeply realized what it was like to sigh all night and be unable to sleep.

Early in the morning of April 3, before the alarm clock rang, she got up early, made a fruit salad like a few days ago, went upstairs and knocked on Du Qiu's door, and said: "I haven't finished reading those books yet, so I asked for leave this morning and won't go out to exercise." ”

"Okay. ”

Du Qiu returned to the residence after exercising, and saw that she was still sitting in front of the computer to study, so he made two breakfasts by himself and beckoned, "Come and eat." ”

"I still haven't finished reading the article, so you can eat it first. ”

Du Qiu walked over with a dinner plate, kicked the power button with his toes, turned off the computer, stared down at her pale face and dark eyes, and said: "This is not the final exam, this is the job, you are my secretary, about work, you only need to remember one thing: what I say, you will do it." I said that the yen would rise, so you went and bought it, and didn't think about it. ”

With his left hand, he swept the books and printouts on the table to the floor, placed the dinner plate on it, and commanded, "Eat!"

"You think you're ......"

Jiang Danfeng has been anxious by various terms and theories in the past two days, upset and irritable, and angry, like a fried Persian cat, smashing the mouse hard, and stood up with a breath, originally wanted to ridicule each other, but as soon as he came into contact with Du Qiu's deep and calm eyes, he suddenly had no heart at all, and weakly changed his words and said: "I just listen to you." ”

"Then let's eat, I'll take you to a foreign exchange brokerage company after eating. ”

Du Qiu's breakfast is very simple, the same as what Jiang Danfeng made a few days ago, it is a combination of toast, bacon, fried egg, lettuce and fruit, but the taste is better, she felt useless and aggrieved after eating two bites, her nose was sore, she couldn't help crying, at first it was just silent tears, and then she simply cried, crying and eating, pear blossoms with rain, poignant and poignant.

What made Jiang Danfeng unhappy and sad was that Du Qiu didn't even mean to comfort him, he finished his breakfast without saying a word, and then went upstairs by himself, and after a few minutes, he took his laptop bag and said, "Give you 10 minutes, go wash your face, change your clothes, and then go out to run errands." ”

"Oh. ”

After Jiang Danfeng cleaned up the tears on her face in the bathroom, she picked up the eyebrow pencil and prepared to draw her eyebrows, but the moment the tip of the pen touched the eyebrows, she threw the pen on the ground with her backhand, and said to herself: "No one will look at it if you draw it, so why bother yourself!"

After changing her clothes, before walking out of the bedroom, she went back to the bathroom, picked up her eyebrow pencil, drew her eyebrows more carefully than before, and then looked at the mirror for a while, feeling flawless, and then walked out.

"You said for 10 minutes, but you took 24 minutes, and when the probationary period is over and the contract is officially signed, this situation should be included in the provisions of the wage deduction. ”

"Got it. ”

I don't know if it was because she cried and vented all her negative emotions, or because she was recognized by Du Qiu's verbal signing, Jiang Danfeng's mood became extremely good, brighter than the sunshine in San Jose in April, and on the way to the foreign exchange brokerage company, she asked: "Du Qiu, why did you hire me as a secretary?"

"I came to the U.S. and needed a secretary who could speak English. ”

"Then why don't you hire a professional secretary? There are many professional secretaries in Beijing who know English. Jiang Danfeng glanced at him sideways, and said in a tone mixed with self-deprecation and temptation: "Chen Dayou said that my ability is only worth two thousand. ”

He's right. ”

Jiang Danfeng was a little annoyed when she heard this, not that she was annoyed that she was looked down upon, because she was self-aware and knew very well that she did not show the ability to match the salary, she was annoyed that Du Qiu was outspoken, and did not give face at all, snorted lightly, and asked: "Then why do you want to hire me with a high salary of 10,000 yuan?"

"It's just a horse bone. Du Qiu explained very blandly: "A college student with limited ability and who has not yet graduated can earn a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, so how much salary should a group of workplace veterans with good ability and who have graduated for many years get paid?"

Jiang Danfeng let out a sigh, not knowing whether he was glad that he had bumped into a good opportunity, or regretting that he had made a mistake before, and said after a moment of silence: "Your company has just opened, and with such a high salary, aren't you afraid of financial problems?" Since Chen Dayou arrived in the United States, he has been shouting every day that he is short of money. ”

"It's his business that he's short of money, and I'm not short of money. ”

"But the company was opened by the two of you!"

"If he runs out of money, then the company is mine. Du Qiu glanced at her and said, "If I can do my duty, I won't treat him badly, if I can't do my duty, what do I want him to do as a partner?"

Jiang Danfeng remembered the words that Su Wenxiu admonished her on the first night of being a secretary in the capital, and a strange feeling appeared in her heart, not only feeling that Du Qiu was as unkind as an iceberg, but also that he was as trustworthy as a mountain, because if you attach importance to responsibility, you must take responsibility, and if you are responsible, you will not disappoint people.

"Even if you are a horse bone, you don't need to have a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, right? The average salary in China is only five or six hundred, and if you open ten times, five or six thousand is very high. ”

"Motorola, IBM, Microsoft and other international giants are entering China on a large scale, if I open low and can't retain talent, how can I compete with them? Maybe just finished a project, the next morning the whole team jumped ship. ”

This is indeed the purpose of Du Qiukai's high salary, he has too much knowledge of the future, even if he sits still every day, 24 hours a day without sleep to write code, he may not be able to achieve one percent of the technology in the laptop, so he must recruit a large number of programmers, and then personally train, turning them into his own help and wings, if you do not open a high salary to enhance the sense of belonging and cohesion, as soon as the training is completed, or a project has just begun, employees will jump ship with technology and creativity, not only lose their wives and soldiers, but also strengthen the strength of their opponents.

Furthermore, the financial silk is moving, all employees of a company have a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, in 1995 is a very sensational news, once reported by the media, it will definitely cause a sensation, not only can advertise the company's products for free, but also establish a high-end atmosphere on the corporate image, you must know that in the 90s, China's economy has not yet risen, the atmosphere of domestic admiration for foreign countries is very strong, if there is no clear corporate image, even if the salary is higher than that of foreign companies, it is difficult to grab talents.

Not to mention anything else, the China Research Institute established by IBM in Beijing in September 1995 and the Asian Research Institute established by Microsoft in Beijing in November 1998 are very serious threats, these two giants are not only famous, but also have strong financial resources, not to mention a monthly salary of 10,000, even a monthly salary of 100,000 can be given casually......

Du Qiu sent Jiang Danfeng to the foreign exchange brokerage company and left, before leaving, he said: "I will give you 3 days to practice, and after 3 days, make an investment plan for me." ”

"Got it. ”
