091 The Rebellion of the Fathers
After returning from Yunnan, Ankang's "Angel Investor Training Camp" program to support young entrepreneurs and young investors was officially launched.
After a period of small-scale research, this plan has been widely supported by Lujiazui investors and dozens of project leaders, and everyone is willing to join this plan.
Ankang divided the plan into two parts. Part of it is public welfare, and some of it is commercial. The training program is for the public good, and the investment program is for the commercial one.
Ankang invited several well-known investors in Lujiazui as mentors for the training camp, and regularly gave lectures to the trainees of the training camp to guide them on how to invest in start-up companies. The bootcamp will also invite some entrepreneurial entrepreneurs from the project team to participate.
Form a mentorship system in the bootcamp. A mentor leads different teams for personal coaching. There are entrepreneurs and investors in this team. Through this form, entrepreneurs can fully understand the capital market and how to play, so that they can establish a shared and win-win entrepreneurial path. At the same time, investors can also fully understand the business logic of start-ups. After all, the business ideas of entrepreneurial entrepreneurs are different from those mature entrepreneurs such as Ren Zhengfei, Lee Iacoca, Rockefeller, Kazuo Inamori, etc., who are familiar to investors. They have their own business logic.
The investment plan is to set up a limited partnership, and anyone interested in investing in a start-up can join voluntarily. These funds are directed to the projects of young entrepreneurs. Ankang personally handled it as the investment leader of such a limited partnership.
Under this structure, the "Angel Investor Bootcamp" program has been carried out in full swing. However, the plan did not change quickly. Less than half a year after the start of the "Angel Investor Bootcamp" program, Ankang fell into an important crisis. The crisis forced him to withdraw from the project he had founded, and at the same time, he had to transfer the base of the project's activities, his clubhouse in Lujiazui, to others.
This man who has been in Lujiazui for nearly 20 years is not afraid of anyone confronting him on the frontal battlefield, but he did not expect to be planted in a method designed for him by his competitors that he despised.
It's not a big thing, but it's not a small impact. Coupled with the impetus of competitors, for a while, this middle-aged investor, who enjoyed a certain reputation and prestige in the Lujiazui financial circle, fell into a situation of betrayal and divorce.
"I'll do the math for you with tarot cards." Zhu Xue, who was opposite the candlelight, said to Ankang.
Ankang shook his head and said, "It's still not necessary." Since this kind of thing has already happened, it's good to think about how to deal with it. Besides, isn't there a saying that man will conquer the sky? ”
"Let's try to have fun. I'm also a talented learner, let me experience it. ”
An Kang smiled and asked, "No charge, right?" ”
Zhu Xue laughed: "If it doesn't work, I won't charge your money." ”
"Okay, then ask Zhu Banxian to calculate a hexagram for me."
Zhu Xue took out a deck of tarot cards from her bag and handed it to An Kang: "You shuffle the cards." ”
Ankang picked up the tarot cards and asked, "How can you wash them?" ”
"Hmm. It's like playing cards. ”
Ankang skillfully shuffled the cards and said, "I haven't played poker for a long time." ”
Zhu Xue said solemnly: "When shuffling the cards, you should focus on your own problems and don't think about anything else." Everything goes with the flow. ”
An Kang restrained his expression, shuffled the cards, and put them on the table.
"Now cut the cards, take a stack of cards from the shuffled deck, put this stack below the original pile, and take another stack of cards from the top of the second stack and put it on top of the first pile. Pay attention to your heart when cutting cards. ”
Ankang continued to cut the cards according to Zhu Xue's instructions.
Next, Ankang drew a card according to Zhu Xue's instructions. When you open it, you can see that this card shows an angel pouring water with two golden cups in his hands, and the English word below the card is temperance.
Zhu Xue approached the table, looked at the card carefully, and said, "What you want to know is whether you can get out of the current problem as soon as possible." This card is called 'temperance,' and it's reversed. Judging from the cards, the two chalices of the angels represent 'matter' and 'spirit' respectively. She poured water from each other with the two chalices, trying to keep the water of the two chalices balanced. Zhu Xue looked up at An Kang.
"Can you speak?" An Kang asked.
Zhu Xue smiled: "Of course you can." ”
"Does this mean that I am in a state of imbalance between my material and spirit?"
"Listen to me." Zhu Xue said, "The meaning of this card is that when faced with all kinds of temptations, it is most important to control your desires, and to be able to feel the beauty of the plain. The happiness of life comes from the ordinary. ”
An Kang nodded: "Desire and temptation." It's a bit of a fit with what I've encountered. ”
Zhu Xue continued: "This card of yours is reversed. Indicates that the balance is problematic. He is in a bad state in his career. Your problems will be solved, but it will require you to have a determination and effort to move forward. Just like a fool. ”
"Fools?"
"Yes, the fool is a card." Zhu Xue took the cards in her hand and took out the fool cards to show Ankang.
Ankang took it in his hand and saw that this card was particularly like the clown in the playing cards. The fool inside, dressed in bells and whistles, walked forward in high spirits, even though there was an abyss under his feet.
"It's the biggest card in the tarot." Zhu Xue explained.
An Kang smiled: "I know if you don't say it." This is also the biggest card in poker. ”
"You're right. This is the archetype of the clown in playing cards, that is, the king. ”
"That means that if I want to survive the current crisis, I must go out of the king?"
Zhu Xue laughed at Ankang's pun: "Hahaha." You can decide for yourself if you can't get out of the king bomb. However, since you're drawing the 'temperance' card. That means you need to make trade-offs, and when you make them, you can move forward without worrying. ”
Zhu Xue's words made An Kang fall into deep thought. Many things look like this, but they are not. For a variety of reasons, the truth is always hidden under the surface and is not easy to detect.
Even Zhu Xue, who was sitting opposite Ankang, was too. Sit in this candlelit restaurant by the river in Lujiazui. Huge floor-to-ceiling windows are lined with views of the Huangpu River and the Bund on the other side.
No matter who sees An Kang and Zhu Xue sitting opposite each other in the glass window, they will treat them as husband and wife or lovers. But no.
Now Zhu Xue looks optimistic, positive, and upward. However, this is only the appearance. Half an hour ago, her expression was extremely haggard.
Ankang's relationship with Zhu Xue ended ten years ago.
