It was half past seven in the afternoon after work, and a few people didn't go around in circles and went straight to Lan Kwai Fong.

Graffiti Bar, where four financial dogs gathered, and as for Foreigner James, it is said that he was in contact with a potential customer.

Lan Kwai Fong is less than 500 meters away from the company, and a formal suit is naturally out of place, although they take off their suits and ties, compared with the people around them, the four of them still look a little different.

Compared with Admiralty and Wan Chai, Central is the commercial center of Hong Kong, where financial companies are everywhere, and it is a well-deserved wealth distribution center in Hong Kong, and it is also a place where local tycoons often hang out.

"Wow!" Entering the bar, the Indian was quite excited.

It's a pity that the most popular beauties are always handsome guys from Europe and the United States, or big financiers who exude a mysterious atmosphere, and they look like financial migrant workers from nearby office buildings.

"Whatever you drink, I'm in for a treat today. Gao Yunfei was very aware of the landlord, and took the lead in greeting, and said to the bartender: "Ketel One Martini, do a little bit, no ice." ”

Chen Qiao only needs to be a member of Budweiser, his family knows his own affairs, he doesn't want to be embarrassed in front of his colleagues when he first comes to Hong Kong, the main purpose of tonight is to get acquainted with these people, and it is best to set up some situations.

Unfortunately, the bar is not a good place to chat.

In a restless environment, Chen Qiaoshan has a feeling of returning to the glittering lights of his previous life, and as far as the eye can see, he is surrounded by long-legged, low-cut, charming and enchanting beauties, which are no different from the bars all over Wudaokou.

Seeing him looking around, Gao Yunfei teased: "Chen, do you want to find two beautiful girls to accompany you?"

Bahadwaki coaxed: "Chen, don't be restrained, this is the happiest place in Hong Kong. As he spoke, the DJ began to exert his strength, and the Indian couldn't sit still, so he just followed the rhythm.

Not to mention, this guy has a sense of rhythm, Indians seem to be born with dance genes, a rugged old man, born with a bit of enchanting feeling.

The bar is completely ruined, but for the financial dogs, this is the best place to relax, and as for sexual encounters, it is certainly not there.

The four of them did not sit for a long time, had a few drinks, and then dispersed, too rich nightlife, for the financial dogs who worked hard at the bottom, it was tantamount to luxury.

Wang Feng stopped Chen Qiaoshan, "It's still early, let's find a place to have supper." ”

This is exactly what Chen Qiaoshan thought, for the first time, it is also good for an alumnus to mention one or two, but he still asked: "Is it convenient, I will go to work tomorrow, it won't delay your time, right?"

"No problem, I live in Haiyun Xuan, Hung Hom Red Lok Road, rented a single apartment, 25 minutes to home by cross-harbour bus, very convenient. Talking about this topic, Wang Feng seemed very happy, and only by getting an internship place at Goldman Sachs could he have the opportunity to see a different world.

Wang Feng's original goal was to stay in Yenching after graduation, but after arriving in Hong Kong, he completely changed his original idea, and he wanted to stay at Goldman Sachs.

In Yanjing, he went out for an internship and only received a subsidy of a few hundred yuan a month, while in Hong Kong, Goldman Sachs subsidized the rent every month as much as 5,000 yuan, not to mention a monthly salary of nearly 20,000 yuan.

"What about you, where do you live?"

"I'm not very far either. Chen Qiaoshan did not mention the five-star hotel apartment, which is a high-end residential area, and most of the residents are high-level executives of major multinational companies in Hong Kong, which can not be rented by Goldman Sachs' subsidies, he asked: "Where are we going?"

Wang Feng said: "Eat food stalls, just on Stanley Street, don't look at this is Central, there are high-consumption places everywhere, in fact, the most popular are these food stalls, the taste is not to say, there is no place to go late." ”

Wang Feng is obviously familiar with this environment, shuttling through the cracks of high-rise buildings for a while, the two arrived at a food stall with a Shengji signboard, the environment is not very good, they are all fences built with iron sheets, it is difficult to imagine outside, only a few corners are two worlds.

Both of them don't know Cantonese, but this obviously doesn't bother Wang Feng, he speaks broken English with a comparison and explanation, and finally finished ordering.

Nowadays, compared to later generations, Mandarin will definitely not work, especially for Hong Kong people who are keeping up with the age, Chen Qiaoshan once read a report that before the free travel, the three major languages in Hong Kong were Cantonese, English and Filipino, and Mandarin did not even squeeze into the top three.

Soon, chicken pot, tofu and fish soup, fried bones, and fresh squid with salt and pepper were sent one after another, Wang Feng did not brag, although it was just a food stall, the taste was really good.

Wang Feng knew Chen Qiaoshan's thoughts, he asked for a bottle of beer, held a wine glass, and talked about the situation of PM.

"If you want to stay at Goldman Sachs, you have to work hard. ”

Wang Feng first outlined the territory, he seemed to be very touched, "There are only two ways to stay, one is to hug the boss's thigh and ask for an internal push opportunity, and the other is to look at the internship assessment and strive to get rehired admission, but the probability is very low, less than 10% of Goldman Sachs interns can stay, fortunately, there are other investment banks that can give it a try." ”

"We don't have many clients in our team, but the average entrusted capital of the clients we serve is more than 8 million US dollars, but unfortunately, we are both interns and can only start from the grassroots level. ”

"Don't look at the impact of the 97 financial crisis has not passed, in fact, there are still many rich people......"

Chen Qiaoshan knows that even if there is a serious financial turmoil, the money cannot disappear out of thin air, and those who go bankrupt and jump off the building will definitely make a lot of money.

In the 08 subprime mortgage crisis, as the most influential investment bank on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs successfully avoided the crisis, but it was involved in a whirlpool of public opinion, and many people questioned that it was because Goldman Sachs maliciously manipulated the stock price, which led to the collapse of giants such as Lehman and Bear Stearns, but who made the money has never been investigated.

At the end of the day, the financial crisis is a process of rebalancing wealth, but the process is often mixed with cruelty and blood.

"Senior Brother Wang, what do we usually do?"

"We are nominally financial analysts, but in fact, we are doing odd jobs, and finding customers is the business of VP and MD, but if you have the resources, it is not difficult to get a rehirer. Wang Feng smiled and joked.

In the financial world, social resources are also a kind of capital, even if it is a large investment bank like Goldman Sachs.

Of course, Wang Feng never thought that Chen Qiaoshan would have any capital, and it was impossible for the children of ordinary people to enter Goldman Sachs by relying on their connections, and those people would not come to PM, the first choice was of course IBD.

The salary of the investment bank is high, but it is not the same work, and the positions are also divided into the front and middle office and the back office, all of which are financial analysts.

The most popular investment bank is definitely IBD, they are responsible for corporate IPOs, mergers, leveraged financing and restructuring, and the business involved is often nine-figure, and the work is also high, which also allows IBD to concentrate the most social resources.

……

With the help of Wang Feng, Chen Qiaoshan began his investment banking life.

He arrives at the office at 7:30 a.m. every morning, the first thing he does is to understand the real-time market dynamics, and then he takes the time to familiarize himself with the account opening application.

However, most of the time, Chen Qiaoshan is doing chores, doing work similar to that of an office clerk, helping Gao Yunfei check data, helping India prepare materials, and helping VB buy coffee.

Two days have passed, and Chen Qiaoshan did not usher in the VB assessment.

James seemed to forget that he was a new intern, and purely used Chen Qiaoshan as a clerk, and did not even assign him the simplest errand of collecting customer information.

Wang Feng was also very surprised, and the two of them got together again at noon, "James is a very strict person, you can also see it, although he is the boss, he will never be late for a minute, even in the middle of the night, he will reply to the work email as soon as possible, there is no reason to forget your assessment." ”

Chen Qiaoshan had a hunch that this time was probably not so simple, otherwise he would not have been given a cold reception.
