Yi Yang was still a little guilty.

After all, from Zhao Ping's point of view, he did all the comforting foreshadowing, but in the end he became the one who really needed to be comforted.

Of course, it was not Yi Yang's intention for such a thing to happen, after all, as Kangxin's "internal recommended candidate", it was really inconvenient to publicize this matter with great fanfare.

Then I can only continue to play stupid.

Fortunately, Zhao Ping knows how to self-adjust.

And for him, there is no reason to go to the Minghao Fund for internship.

For him, it can only be regarded as a pity to abandon the chicken ribs.

If you can't pass the interview, you can concentrate on starting a business.

After a short period of stunnedness, Zhao Pinggan laughed twice, "It's really ...... Accidental, haha...... Hehe......"

Yi Yang sighed: "Yes, it's quite unexpected......"

"What did the teacher tell you when you went in? It's only a minute or two......"

"Well, probably because of the materials submitted before, maybe they poked at a certain point of interest?" Yi Yang said lightly: "I wrote a feasibility report on shared bicycles before, and the dean has read it. ”

"Oh, that's it......" Zhao Ping showed a thoughtful expression, but it was obvious that why Yi Yang could pass the interview was not something he was interested in.

The two went downstairs together.

The autumn breeze is cooling, and the speed of the weather seems to be getting more and more obvious, but it is not enough to make people feel cold at this time.

Zhao Ping said: "By the way, Yi Yang, do you know the content of the next interview?" ”

Yi Yang shook his head honestly: "I don't know." ”

"In addition to the nine people from our Tunghai University, your opponents also have students from other prestigious schools, and finally there are three opportunities to enter the Minghao Foundation for internships."

Yi Yang nodded, of course he knew this.

Zhao Ping opened his mouth, he originally had something to say, but after hesitating for a moment, he held back again.

Zhao Ping smiled: "Next, you have to continue to work hard!" I'm actually quite curious, a sophomore like you, haha...... Sophomores...... How far can it go? ”

Yi Yang shrugged his shoulders lightly: "So, even if you fail, it's not a pity, anyway, the expectation is relatively low." ”

"If you can enter Minghao Fund for internship, the next person you will work with will be a first-class investor in the country or even the world, and you will definitely be able to learn a lot of useful things."

"Hmm."

"You have your own things to do, and then I have my own things to continue to do." Zhao Ping said lightly: "Fortunately, I didn't get on the interview, otherwise, I really don't know how to choose the problem at that time." ”

Yi Yang smiled: "I think with your ability, there must be no interview, probably this mentality was captured by the examiner in a certain detail, so you were brushed off, right?" ”

Zhao Ping was slightly stunned, and his mood improved.

The reason that Yi Yang found for him was quite reasonable, not only did not negate his ability, but also logically explained the reason for being brushed down.

He smiled too: "Oh...... It's possible. ”

——

Although Zhao Ping is a senior, because he plans to start his own business, and he is engaged in an online media company, similar to the later MCN company, of course, his company attributes are more complicated.

To put it simply, Zhao Ping's main business scope is more extensive than that of the later MCN company, in addition to helping the contracted talent to continue to output and monetize content, relying on some resources of his family in the cultural media industry, he will also create some online short dramas.

Compared with the later short dramas on short video platforms, this kind of online short drama has a higher production cost, similar to online dramas such as "Never Expected" and "Report the Boss", with professional shooting and post-production teams.

Yi Yang also learned that Zhao Ping's company already has several well-known video creators, and there is quite a high traffic on websites such as Station B, Youku, iQiyi, etc.

In addition, there are classmates he knows, Xiangmei and Yang Jiunian.

Zhao Ping does have the talent to be a director, and Xiangmei later followed him to shoot several other short dramas, and now he has almost become his queen actor, and they have released a series of short dramas, which have a good response on the Internet.

For filming, although he is from a prestigious school, on the one hand, this matter itself is very interesting, and on the other hand, there is a good remuneration, Zhao Ping is generous, and will give 80% of the profits to the team according to the degree of effort, which is a very generous remuneration for students.

Yi Yang knew that Xiangmei's family conditions could only be regarded as ordinary, and the previous few contacts could see that she was a ...... How to say it, a good one is sober, and a bad one is a realistic girl.

Of course, this in itself is not convenient to judge by right or wrong.

Although she is in a prestigious school, she seems to have long known that the aura of a prestigious school does not allow her to achieve a class jump, but follows Zhao Ping, relying on the resources behind him, there is a great possibility to further ......

Therefore, at least in Yi Yang's opinion, Xiangmei is happy in it, and even has a plan to go on this road for a long time.

This is Xiangmei.

And Yang Jiunian's situation is a little special.

Yang Jiunian's personality is more simple, she doesn't have so many utilitarian ideas, and she is more timid on the stage, Zhao Ping provides her with professional recording equipment, and invites a professional vocal teacher to guide her, so that she can concentrate on singing, and the direction of development is similar to Chen Yifaer.

And Yang Jiunian's personality is not suitable for live broadcasting, she does not have a strong sense of camera, and she is not good at chatting with a group of strangers, so she concentrates on making cover videos.

In order to allow Yang Jiunian to quickly break the circle, Zhao Ping is still planning to use some resources to invite some real singers or musicians to link.

Even from Yi Yang's point of view, he can't find anything wrong with Zhao Ping's operations.

It is very in line with the trend of the development of the times.

Of course, Zhao Ping's ambition does not stop there, the resources behind him are abundant, as long as he can prove himself, he can get more resources.

"Before I graduated, I wanted to do something big! I just couldn't find the right opportunity. ”

Zhao Ping's words made Yi Yang have some special thoughts, but the time was not ripe at this time, so he buried it in his heart.

——

A few days later, it was time for the interview with Minghao Fund.

Minghao Hotel is a five-star hotel and one of the important assets of Minghao Fund.

He didn't let others accompany him for the interview, after all, the previous notice also said that the escort can't go upstairs, so naturally it's meaningless.

The hotel front desk has been staffed in a conspicuous position to make a signage guidance, Yi Yang took a temporary pass, got on the elevator, and arrived at the 9th floor of the notice.

Under the guidance of the staff, Yi Yang entered a conference room, where many people were already sitting.

In addition to several other students from Tunghai University, there were many interviewers from other universities, more than 20 people.

Yi Yang casually found a place to sit down, and when he had nothing to do, he took out his mobile phone to play.

Most of the people who come here for interviews don't know each other, but as top talents in the financial industry, there is a similar temperament.

Yi Yang silently observed these "opponents" of his.

First of all, from the perspective of image, everyone can be regarded as Zhou Zheng.

Girls wear makeup, so their appearance is not much different, and boys, there may be some fat and thin, but basically there is no particularly ugly ...... This is easy to understand, this line of work is to deal with people from time to time, so in the previous initial meeting, you may also consider the conditions of the candidate's image.

The second is self-confidence and extroversion.

The financial industry is a very resource-hungry industry, and many resource channels need to actively maintain relationships, so naturally the requirements for emotional intelligence are very high.

It didn't take long for Yi Yang to sit down, and there were already people talking to each other.

"Classmate, which university are you in?"

There was a chubby boy next to him, and when he saw that Yi Yang was also alone, he took the initiative to come over to say hello.

Yi Yang responded kindly: "I am from the School of Economics and Management of Tunghai University. ”

"Wow! That's a college student. ”

"What about you?"

"Huh...... Philosophy of Peking University. ”

Yi Yang thought for a while and said with a smile: "Many industries are professional but can't change careers, and Soros also studies philosophy." ”

Listening to Yi Yang's words, the boy immediately laughed, "My name is Qi Chong, what is your name, classmate?" ”

"Yi Yang."

introduced themselves to each other, Qi Chong and Yi Yang naturally left each other's WeChat, and then sat together and chatted.

"This interview is really difficult!"

Qi Zhong sighed heartily.

Yi Yang asked curiously, "Is Peking University too?" ”

"There are only three places in Peking University, but there are hundreds of people who have signed up! Oh yes, how many of you from Tunghai University have made it to this interview? ”

Yi Yang was slightly silent for a moment, and whispered, "Nine." ”

For a while, Qi Chong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but complain: "Good guy...... That's too big a gap. ”

For a long time, it has always been better universities to enjoy better resources, but at this time, the students of Tunghai University have more opportunities, which naturally makes Yi Yang have an inexplicable joy psychologically.

"Do you know what to focus on in the next interview?"

Although it seems to be an opponent, Yi Yang will not hide it because of this, and generously share some of the information he has learned.

"Hmm...... Of course, I don't know the content of the exam, but this time the examiner is said to be Mr. Swenson of the Harvard University Endowment, which has a mutual stake with the Minghao Foundation. ”

"Oh...... The investment bigwig who wrote "The Road to Innovation in Institutional Investment"? ”

Yi Yang nodded: "Because Minghao Foundation and Harvard University Endowment Fund have cooperated for many years, the proportion of mutual shares has reached 8%, and this investment office project is also borrowed from them, so I personally feel that this interview is very likely to start from this aspect." ”

Qi Chong was thoughtful, and only after a moment did he shake his head: "It's better for you students to do your homework!" I don't know anything about any of this, and it seems like I'm left to my fate. ”

Yi Yang sighed slightly, although he knew this information, but it wasn't for him to resign himself to fate?

After all, time is in a hurry, otherwise if you go and read the big guy's books carefully, you may have a little eyebrows, right?

As the first candidate was called to the conference room next door for an interview, the atmosphere in the room began to become solemn, and the chatters seemed to have some kind of tacit understanding, and they all deliberately lowered their voices.

The first interviewer didn't take long before he came back with a regretful face, and someone next to him asked, "How's it going?" ”

The man shook his head: "The conclusion of the interview was announced on the spot, and I was clearly told that I would not pass, but I'm sorry, the staff asked that the exam questions could not be disclosed to you, so goodbye everyone!" ”

Under the supervision of the staff, the test taker took his belongings and left silently.

Everyone else in the room heard his words and looked pensive.

Qi Zhong said: "This interview is a bit perverted, it's only less than three minutes before and after, and the time for a question is estimated to be too long!" Could it be that in less than three minutes, the examiner judged that he was suitable for the internship program? ”

Yi Yang's expression was also a little dignified.

Before at Tunghai University, he went and came back quickly because of his internal identity, but here Zhao Ping's interview time theory should be valid.

Then the interviewers go in one by one, but often they come out in a few minutes.

After seven or eight people, none of them could pass the interview.

Someone couldn't help but ask: "Aren't there three places?" Announced on the spot...... If everyone can't pass, or if the number of people who pass is greater than three, then aren't those three places wasted? ”

The staff smiled: "No, if there are more than three people who pass the interview, we will organize the next round of interviews, if there are less than three people...... she paused: "How many count." ”

After listening to the staff, everyone felt the pressure.

The chatter was quieter, and the room was a little oppressive.

Soon, it was finally Yi Yang's turn.

"Next, the 19th, Yi Yang."

Yi Yang took a deep breath and followed the staff into the conference room for the interview.

An old white man with gray hair silently recorded something in a notebook, next to two deputy examiners.

The old white man put down his pen, his face was expressionless, and he said in English: "Hello, I am your examiner, my name is Swenson, candidate No. 19, let's skip the self-introduction part, I have all your information here, then, let's get started." ”

Yi Yang sat down and smiled, "Okay, Mr. Swenson." ”

Swenson said dryly, "First of all, answer my first question. ”

Yi Yang leaned forward slightly, staring at Swenson seriously.

"Please analyze the rescue policies of the four stock markets in New York, Tokyo, London and Hong Kong on Black Monday in 1987?"

Suddenly, the conference room was a little quiet, except for the faint sound of the air conditioner.

And after hearing this question, Yi Yang was suddenly stupid.

Although he knows the famous 1987 Black Monday in the United States in the history of finance, to answer this question, the first thing is to understand the causes and effects of the Black Monday storm, and also know the respective countermeasures of several stock markets, and finally analyze the internal logic one by one......

That's enough to write a few papers.

Although Yi Yang boasts that he also loves to read, he can't answer this kind of knowledge if he doesn't deliberately prepare in advance.

Looking at Yi Yang's complicated expression, Svensson was still expressionless: "You can think about it." ”

Yi Yang was silent for a moment, and shook his head honestly: "I'm sorry Mr. Swenson, I don't know what you said about the response of the stock market at that time, so I can't answer this question." ”

Swenson was silent for a moment and nodded, "Is that your answer?" Hmmm...... "He took notes.

At this point, Yi Yang sighed silently and had already given up.

No wonder the people in front came out in a few minutes.

It's your turn, right?

But to Yi Yang's surprise, Swenson did not ask him out immediately, but asked a series of questions about financial investment.

Those questions either involve too much advanced professional knowledge, and it is estimated that graduate students with a master's degree or above in the corresponding field cannot answer them at all, or they require a very wide knowledge reserve.

Yi Yangdu answered honestly, I don't know.

After several days in a row, Svenson showed a strange smile, and finally asked a question that Yi Yang could understand.

"What indicators do you think best reflect the quality of a company's governance?"

Yi Yang suddenly felt excited, compared to before, this question is obviously much simpler, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "I think that to reflect the quality of corporate governance, we need to look at it from a dynamic perspective." ”

"Specifically, it is not to look at what the company says, but to see how the company does it, and whether there are new shares issued in the listing? Are there any dividends? Do minority shareholders have real voting rights? Is there a real correlation between executive compensation and return on net assets? ”

Swenson put down his pen, and a smile finally appeared on his serious face, and the two deputy examiners next to him also laughed.

Yi Yang was a little unclear.

"Yi, congratulations on being the first lucky person to pass the interview today." Swenson said.

Yi Yang was still a little confused, but he still stood up for the first time: "Thank you, sir!" ”

"Are you curious, why?"

Yi Yang hesitated for a moment and nodded honestly again.

Swenson said with some seriousness: "First of all, you are very honest, you don't know is not knowing, there is nothing to be ashamed of, in fact, these questions are the test of whether you are willing to face your ignorance sincerely." And you're the first one who didn't force those advanced questions with lame knowledge in an interview. ”

"This is important because our investment office has always been known for its rigor and professionalism, and one of the iron rules of rigor is ...... To know is to know, and not to know is not to know. ”

"The second point, the last question, your answer is based on the essential function of the financial system, and what we need is this kind of pragmatic people, so I am willing to give you this opportunity."

Since the interview room came out, Yi Yang couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief, and after glancing at the time, eighteen minutes had passed, which was the longest among everyone.

He smiled: "I didn't expect that sincerity is the strongest nirvana." ”
