Chapter 70: Don't Be a Follower

"What? I can't come to the company's restaurant to eat? Chen Weidong said slightly teasingly.

"Mr. Chen, of course you can, but it's the first time I've seen you in a restaurant, so I'm a little surprised." Feng Yiwen explained.

He used to think that a rich man of Chen Weidong's level should not come to this kind of "staff canteen" to eat, but he didn't expect to meet it today.

"It's common in the future, it's nothing unusual, and Lin Jiacheng is about the same."

The two found a place to sit down and chatted while eating.

"Mr. Chen, the company's hearts are floating now." Feng Yiwen said with some worry.

At present, major financial institutions in Central are laying off employees and reducing expenses.

Affected by the financial turmoil, shareholders have no cash flow, the number of people who speculate in stocks has plummeted, and brokerages can't earn much handling fees, and they can't support so many account managers.

In addition, in the second half of this year, the stock market has been bad, and most institutions have lost money.

Therefore, many financial practitioners have been "dissuaded" by the company.

Including Infinity, although layoffs have not yet begun, several funds are already in the red.

The trader who is responsible for managing these funds is under great pressure in his heart, and with such a generous salary, the fund is not profitable, for fear that he will be called to "talk" at any time.

In their industry, the traders are generally over 30 years old, and almost all of them have already started a family.

Many of them only bought a house this year, and they are also burdened with mortgages, car loans, these, and various tuition expenses for their children....

If they lose their jobs now, they can't imagine how difficult it will be next.

After hearing this, Chen Weidong was silent for two minutes, and said: "This problem, I was negligent, you can have a meeting with them, and say that the company will never lay off employees, and even prepare to give them a salary increase!" ”

"Mr. Chen, you're not joking, are you?!" Feng Yiwen was stunned, he only now realized that he may have never kept up with Chen Weidong's thinking? Every time he could say something amazing.

Now that the company is losing money, not only does it not lay off employees, but it even says that it will give everyone a salary increase?

What a strange operation?

He wanted to say this, but he didn't say anything, and if the people below knew about it, he would be a sinner.

Chen Weidong smiled slightly and said: "The company made so much money before, and now it is only taking out part of the money to help everyone tide over the difficulties, isn't this how it should be?" ”

He thought of some company bosses in later generations, when the company made money, they were reluctant to give more bonuses to employees, and when the company's efficiency was not good, they asked employees to tide over the difficulties with the company.

Layoffs, salary cuts, cancellation of year-end bonuses, etc....

It's a bad company.

"No, I'm just a little excited." Feng Yiwen rubbed his eyes and said.

He didn't expect a young boss like Chen Weidong to understand the difficulties in the life of these small employees of the company.

In the past, when he worked at Fangyi Securities, a subsidiary of the Yellow River Group, others told him that finance is cold-blooded, especially financial practitioners, who are even cold-blooded and ruthless.

But today, he was a little excited.

Infinity Private Equity is indeed different from other financial institutions.

...

"Mr. Chen, do you think the exchange rate can be kept?"

The two chatted and chatted, and talked about things like stock exchange rates, which can be regarded as a professional habit.

"This must be fine, don't worry." Chen Weidong comforted.

The Hong Kong Government has now used the Exchange Fund to maintain the Linked Exchange Rate.

Behind the Hong Kong dollar is RMB, which is unshakable.

There are only three banks in Hong Kong that are qualified to issue notes, namely: HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Huaxia Bank.

For every HK$7.8 issued, they have to pay US$1 to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to ensure that the Hong Kong dollar is backed by the U.S. dollar and maintain a stable exchange rate.

This linked exchange rate system has been in use for 15 years, and it will definitely not change because of the attacks of Soros and others.

Next.

The two chatted about some things in the direction again, and Chen Weidong ate all his meals.

Feng Yiwen looked at his watch, and the stock market had been open for ten minutes.

He hurriedly said: "Mr. Chen, I went up first, the stock market has opened, and there is a trading plan in the afternoon." ”

"Go ahead, leave me alone."

Chen Weidong waved his hand to him, and then went to the back kitchen alone, and asked the chef to make a few light Cantonese dishes and pack them away.

Back to the office on the ninth floor.

Li Xi'er was still working seriously in front of the computer and didn't notice him coming in.

I have to say, quite dedicated.

Chen Weidong couldn't help but think that it seemed that the most idle people in the company were him and the third uncle, and the other people were busy every day, and the two of them had nothing to do.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of guilt that everyone was studying hard and that they were playing.

In line with the idea that no one can offend the accountant, Chen Weidong walked over and said softly: "Eat something, I specially asked the chef to make a light one, which should meet your taste." ”

"Not hungry." Li Xi'er was expressionless and said coldly.

Every day I am busy for the company, I have to be hit, and I am tired.

Good guys, is this?

Chen Weidong is not a fool, so he naturally saw that this woman should be angry, but he really has no experience in this area, and he was chased by a girl in his previous life.

There was really no way, he had no choice but to lie on the table and read in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mocked you, let's eat first, it's not good if you're hungry, infinity can't live without you, just like the West can't lose Jerusalem ......"

"Poof."

"If you can't coax, don't coax?" Li Xi'er was amused, she had never seen such a coaxing girl, she really saw what it means to have low emotional intelligence.

"Then do you want to eat it or not, do you want me to feed you myself?" Chen Weidong was a little embarrassed and pretended to be angry.

"Since you've begged me so, I'll make it difficult for me." Li Xi'er chuckled, and didn't want to be hypocritical anymore, this is not her style.

However, he still secretly said in his heart that Chen Weidong still has a little conscience, and he has not forgotten that she is still hungry, otherwise this matter will definitely not be over.

"Where's my third uncle? Haven't come back yet? Chen Weidong looked at the office and wondered.

"I guess it's going out with a little star again." Li Xi'er was eating, and replied with a match.

She has been in the company for a long time, and she also knows what Chen Jie's personality is, she is completely a playboy, and the women around her every day are not the same, just eating, drinking and having fun all day long.

Fortunately, Chen Weidong is different from his third uncle, otherwise..... Hehe.

"I still need his help, and now there's no one to be seen."

Chen Weidong walked around the office a few times, thought about it, and decided to make a call and ask the third uncle to come back.

Because what comes next, it's crucial.

After notifying the third uncle, Chen Weidong said to Li Xi'er: "Give everyone in the company a 20% salary increase, and in addition, everyone will be given an extra month of performance bonus." ”

"Another wage increase? They're tall now, okay? Li Xi'er couldn't help but complain.

Recently, there have been layoffs everywhere in Central, and it would be good if there was no salary cut, and now thousands of dollars can be recruited.

Because of Chen Weidong's words, the company's monthly expenses are directly tens of millions more.

Doing finance, really tired.
