094 Nothing
Ankang's friend finally couldn't bear the loneliness and took back control of the company after discussing with Ankang. As the company's deputy general manager, Ankang also lost interest in running the company. Because he is subject to human feelings, he has full experience.
Since the return of Ankang's friends, the company has returned to its previous state, with mountains and factional struggles. In line with the sense of responsibility to the company, Ankang has made many suggestions to friends. Friends didn't adopt either. An Kang felt helpless.
And just when the company went back to the old way again, it was brutally attacked by Zhou Mingfeng.
The reason why Zhou Mingfeng attacked this seemingly inconspicuous small company was entirely because he had a deep understanding of Ankang's ability and potential in his years of interaction with Ankang. Although Ankang's company is not big, Zhou Mingfeng still knows about Ankang's efforts to turn the tide in just a few months. This made Zhou Mingfeng very vigilant. He must inflict all kinds of humane or inhumane blows on Ankang before he rises, so that Ankang loses confidence in his future.
In Zhou Mingfeng's view, all people from rural areas have an advantage and a disadvantage. The advantage is that they can bear hardships and stand hard work, and the disadvantage is that they are born with an inferiority complex. The interweaving of these two qualities leads people of rural origin to two different extremes.
The first extreme is paranoia. This kind of person has the spirit of courage, just like the fool in the tarot card, knowing that there is an abyss ahead, but he also has to step into it and try it. This kind of person rises from the shadow of low self-esteem and becomes extremely conceited. The sky is not afraid of the earth, and he has the spirit of being the best in the world. This kind of person will look for help, but will always believe that he is right.
There is also a kind of person who proves that he is not worse than the people in the city at the beginning, and he also begins to dare to fight, and is good at taking different routines. However, once frustrated, or continuously frustrated, it often leads to self-doubt and never recovers.
Zhou Mingfeng believes that Ankang is most likely the first type of person. However, even if Ankang is the first type of person, what if he is hit again and again, and frustrated again and again?
In the city of Shanghai, many people are not defeated by their careers, but by their mothers-in-law. And Zhou Mingfeng just knew that there was a mother-in-law who was about to light a fire in his backyard behind Ankang.
Zhou Mingfeng's blow was very accurate. In just a few months, the company of Ankang was pulled down into the abyss. And Ankang sold his house in order to maintain the operation of the company. And the sale of the house has frustrated Ankang's feelings.
Now Ankang wants a career without a career, feelings without feelings, money without money.
What could be more desperate than this one?
Ankang didn't know that the black hand behind it was Zhou Mingfeng at first. He always thought it was because his friend was not good at running the company. When he knew that everything was Zhou Mingfeng's troublemaker, Ankang had a deep talk with a friend.
Ankang believes that the company has just recovered from its difficulties and is far from having the strength to compete. And in the year since my friend retired, he has become much more estranged from some old customers. How to maintain the relationship between customers in the financial circle has a routine that was summed up 2,000 years ago - near is not inferior, far away is resentful.
The competition in this industry is so fierce, whether it is the investor or the project party, they are all holding their tails. There is no such thing as drinking coffee to make an investment project happen. Drinking coffee is just a façade.
In the face of Zhou Mingfeng's ubiquitous blows, Ankang's solution was for him to withdraw from his friend's company. Deflect Zhou Mingfeng's attack target away.
But Ankang's friend did not agree. He believes that the company's comeback is entirely due to Ankang's efforts. So although my friend has regained control of the company, I am still grateful for Ankang. It is better to return the funds from Ankang's equity transfer to Ankang, and to retain Ankang's equity in the company.
Of course, Ankang can't do such a thing.
It was precisely because of this indecision and the desire to continue to help friends that the company's situation took a sharp turn and soon turned from a profit to a loss.
Financial companies often face greater operational threats than industrial companies.
Running an industrial company is like making stocks, even if the business is bad, the biggest loss is nothing more than the loss of principal. As long as the principal is locked, the entire risk is locked.
Running a finance company is like doing futures or other derivative securities. On the one hand, there is trading leverage, and a small loss can be magnified by more than ten times. On the other hand, there is a risk of losing positions. That is, after losing the principal, if the stop loss is not timely, it will owe a sum of money.
Don't underestimate the dangers of losing a position. There will always be incredible stories in the futures and spot markets.
An investor once bought a commodity in the futures market. At that time, the price of this commodity plummeted in a matter of days. The investor bought it at a price of $0.01 for $0.01 for a trick. No matter how the price of a commodity falls, it is still valuable, and it is absolutely impossible to be negative.
However, the harsh reality has caused investors who spent $10,000 to buy commodities at $0.01 end up losing tens of millions of dollars. Because the transaction price of the commodity quickly fell to -$40.
Why is the price of a good in a negative value? That's because futures commodities are time-sensitive. When the moment the transaction is terminated, there is a real physical delivery. Physical delivery will have costs such as transportation, warehousing, customs duties, etc. When these costs are greater than the price of the commodity, the price of the commodity will fall irrationally due to the influence of trading psychology.
This is the reason why futures trading is in the right direction, but it will also be out of the market when the market fluctuates.
Everything happened extremely fast. After Ankang's friends sold his two villas, Ankang also sold his apartment to maintain the company's operations and pay off his debts.
My friend still wants to continue to persevere, and I am persuaded to be healthy. When the situation is still deteriorating and there is no chance of improvement, it is time to admit defeat and liquidate the game.
Before you learn to invest, you must learn to stop loss. This is an investment philosophy that Ankang learned when he was in college.
People who don't know how to invest think that stop loss is a denial of themselves, and the psychological rejection of stop loss happens to them. However, people who really understand investing must treat stop-loss as the norm and have a calm mindset.
It's like the old monk and the little monk who came down the mountain. After the old monk carried the beauty across the river, the moment he let go of the beauty, he really let go. Although the little monk did not touch the beauty, he couldn't let go of it in his heart.
Stop loss, it's that sexy and sultry beauty. What you have to do is pick her up and put it down. Instead of refusing to accept her, but missing her.
The money that Ankang and his friends invested next was also meat buns and dogs, and they never returned. This company has turned into a bottomless pit and into a nightmare.
The friend's marriage is crumbling, and Ankang's marriage ends before it has even begun.
Two months to bring down a company, and a month to ruin a relationship.
God is not thin on me! In the living room of Weifang Seven Villages, Ankang looked at the lights of those high-end office buildings and high-end apartments in Lujiazui and laughed at himself.
Ten years ago, I was here with nothing.
Ten years later, I'm still here, with nothing.
It is often said that the white horse passes through the gap. Ankang also believes that time is extremely precious to him. In the past ten years, he has never wasted any time. Even the TV in his house has not been turned on for almost a year.
In addition to socializing and talking about girlfriends, Ankang spends almost all of his time working and studying.
And yet, even so, what did he get in ten years?
Nothing.
Such a result is completely unacceptable to Ankang.
