Chapter 7 Business Compliments

"Oh my! You can rely on your looks, but you are so talented. Wang Hua stood up and handed over his business card with both hands:

"Wang Hua, Guangda Capital." He smiled cordially.

Wang Hua intended to make a quick decision, but as a person in the investment circle, he deeply understood a truth.

It was what someone said, 30 years in the east, 30 years in the west.

Especially in this era of entrepreneurial explosion, you don't know when and who will suddenly step on dog shit and fly to the sky.

As someone said, pigs on the wind also have the opportunity to fly.

And the person in front of him, as a fresh graduate, started very early and kept his eyes on the mobile Internet, which was in the wind.

He has the possibility.

So, maybe today I am facing He, in the future, may be the one who chooses himself.

If colleagues cannot be together, friends can be together.

This is society.

This is a common problem in the investment circle, fear of missing out!

Besides, Wang Hua intends to exclude Cao Shen, but Cao Shen must not know about this.

He can even increase his favorability and make Cao Shen think that he is the one who strongly recommended him.

This is a kind of commercial hypocrisy that people in society must master.

Although he has only graduated for four years, he has gradually absorbed the oil in the frying of society, or in other words, he has been coated with a necessary layer of gold.

Regarding Wang Hua's reaction Cao Shen was a little surprised.

Damn, my appearance is a drag!

He bowed slightly, took Wang Hua's business card with both hands, and spent three seconds carefully examining it. He acted very seriously, and even showed a little bit of panic while pretending to be calm.

This made Wang Hua very satisfied.

As a male creature, when two people are together, they must first distinguish who is better before sitting down to talk.

For this feature, merchants are actually the most familiar with it.

Anything sold to men always likes to be identified by numbers, which is simple and clear.

For example, BMW 7 Series, BMW 5 Series...

Using numbers The word can immediately distinguish the more powerful party, which makes men happy.

Alas, men are so simple.

Cao Shen's respectful attitude immediately made the two of them clear about the priorities, and then sat down to start the conversation.

Wang Hua praised Cao Shen at the beginning, but Cao Shen could not praise him back:

Manager Wang is so young to be a manager.

Investment manager is an entry-level position. If you say so, it would be an insult.

So, Cao Shen sat down and kept holding the business card with both hands:

"I finally know someone in the investment circle. What an honor. ”

Wang Hua has nothing to brag about, so he is proud of his circle.

Don’t underestimate this sentence, every word here is affirming Wang Hua’s “class”.

The investment circle looks high-end, but it is actually full of losers, and there is a chain of contempt in it.

In general, private equity and public equity in the secondary market look down on securities companies, which is the relationship between Party A and Party B.

Investors in the primary market look down on investment banks, that is, financial advisors, which is also the relationship between Party A and Party B.

However, Party B naturally has many points to complain about Party A.

After all, they are friendly and respectful on the surface, but they look down on everyone in their hearts.

And the secondary market and the primary market look down on each other.

The secondary market despises the primary market for being petty and poor.

The primary market thinks that the secondary market is just a bunch of stock speculators, Only provide stock liquidity, not contribute actual value to the development of enterprises.

But in general, this is still a circle, a superficially glamorous circle.

The glamor is mainly because it is close to money, and with more money, social status will naturally rise.

Therefore, Wang Hua likes this circle, although he is on the edge, and may not even stand on the edge.

Cao Shen's compliment undoubtedly pushed him into it, and naturally he was very useful.

The first round of business compliments between you and me ended, but both of them were in a hurry, so they tacitly entered the main topic.

Since he made up his mind to play the role of the white face, Wang Hua naturally would not ask about Cao Shen's experience as a poor student, but said:

"I see that you have done a lot of social practice, focusing on mobile Internet, what do you think of this? ”

This is a normal question for interviewing newcomers in the investment circle. First, they ask about your views on the industry, and then they will throw out a specific company for you to analyze.

For many companies, verbal analysis is not enough. After the interview, they will ask you to go back and do an industry research or company research report and send it back.

First, it depends on your research method, second, it depends on your thinking, third, it depends on your specific analysis ability, and fourth, it depends on how your paperwork is.

The last point cannot be vague at all. After all, PPT and Excel are extremely commonly used in this industry.

Cao Shen received this question from Wang Hua, but he did not intend to answer it directly .

If he rushed forward now and crushed the opponent with the knowledge he had traveled through in 2020, he would definitely be sent off by Wang Hua.

But if he was reserved, Cao Shen would definitely have no chance given his poor academic background.

Therefore, before performing, Wang Hua's doubts must be dispelled.

For those with huge amounts of information, showing off their muscles first and then showing their loyalty is a very cool approach, and it is also easy to spread good stories.

But there are few people with huge amounts of information, so taking a reassurance pill first and then showing value is the strategy for facing mediocre people.

So Cao Shen scratched his head and said:

"Actually, I studied mobile Internet because I am optimistic about this direction and plan to start a business."

This statement made it clear that I am not interested in this.

In other words, we are not on the same path, and we will not form a competitive situation. Maybe we will have a cooperative relationship in the future.

Wang Hua's shoulders relaxed and he smiled.

You are still a newbie, and you lack social experience.

When you come to Guangda Capital for an interview, others are eager to show their loyalty, but you say that this is just a stepping stone.

But on second thought, this recruitment is for an internship position, and it does not say that you can be promoted if you perform well.

Isn't this just a stepping stone...

"Guangda Capital mainly does investment banking business. Although it serves entrepreneurs, it seems that it is not consistent with your career plan." Wang Hua still keeps a business smile.

"I mainly hope to come here to learn, systematically understand what entrepreneurship and financing are, and prepare for entrepreneurship.

I have thought about it carefully. There is no internship that can expose me to more entrepreneurial projects than in an investment bank, get close to the founders of startups, and have the opportunity to listen to the opinions of investors."

Well, this is very convenient for me to complain about buying life.

Face to face, the most cost-effective way to buy life!

Cao Shen continued to add:

"I have had the idea of ​​starting a business since my junior year, but I feel that I don't have enough experience and knowledge.

And the mobile Internet is developing too fast, and I haven't thought of a specific direction yet.

But I already have a small team of classmates from school. We are trying to make some simple apps, mainly to complete the running-in of products and technologies."

Oh, sorry, I took advantage of you, dear classmate Li Hai.

"You already have a team..." This shows that Cao Shen in front of him is determined to start a business and is unlikely to change his career because of his investment bank job.

And the team has been there since his junior year, and he has to explain to the team if he changes his mind.

To change the industry terminology, it means that there is a little cost of switching tracks.

Wang Hua was quite satisfied with this explanation and continued to ask: "So, you evaluated so many apps to prepare for starting a business?"

Cao Shen nodded:

"Yes, know yourself and know your enemy.

Understanding others' strengths, user evaluations, market hot spots and trends will help us choose the direction of the product and define the highlights of the product and avoid shortcomings."

Wang Hua was completely relieved. If it were not for the competitive relationship, an intern with this background would be just right for him.

Having a strong interest in the industry and being very hungry means that you can work overtime endlessly.

Having an understanding of the industry can provide good support for your business capabilities.

He is also a big V, and you can use him to get in touch with more entrepreneurial projects in the future.

He studies mobile Internet apps, which saves him a lot of effort in finding companies and screening potential targets from massive information in the future.

And there is no need to worry about Cao Shen's passive slacking. He studies for himself and comes to the investment bank for himself, which is full of motivation.

"Do you have any preliminary ideas now? What do you think about the development trend of mobile Internet?"

Cao Shen understood, this is the "reassurance pill" level passed, and he began to get to the point.

He can talk freely, but he will not pour out everything he knows.

After all, it has been ten years, and the changes and developments are too fast. Many things that are said ten years later, even if the results are true, others will not believe it.

So, he picked up the industry development and market structure in one or two years.

And pay special attention to Wang Hua's reaction, not too much beyond his cognitive structure, seeking common ground while reserving differences is the kingly way.

This is the only way to give people the feeling that they met too late.

Not only that, but also pay attention to guidance, let Wang Hua draw his own conclusions, let him feel that the inspiration comes from classmate Cao Shen, but he is awesome.

People, like to pursue the kind of characteristics they don't have, or the shadow of the perfect self in their imagination.

But, the most comfortable to be with is the kind of person who can make you feel awesome constantly.

Of course, this feeling of self-awareness is different for different people.

Some people like to feel awesome on the spot.

Some people like to find their own shortcomings after getting along with each other, and then feel that they have become awesome after working hard to improve.

Wang Hua is undoubtedly the former, while the latter is often really awesome in the end.

Not surprisingly, the two "had a great chat".

Wang Hua wanted to get Cao Shen to work immediately on the spot, and his form was not finished yet...

However, he did not have this authority, which was a pity.

According to the interview process, after passing this level, he still had to interview the director, but the director was not there today, so he probably couldn't interview him.

He took the initiative to communicate with the HR manager, and the HR also said that the time for the next interview would be arranged later.

So, Wang Hua notified Cao Shen with regret, and sent him out the door enthusiastically, promising that he would strongly recommend him.

He wanted to send Cao Shen to the elevator, but suddenly found that the boss and the partner of R&F Angel Investment were walking towards the elevator.

He fled first decisively, just like the poor students were afraid of the teacher, and the poor workers were afraid of the leader.

He had been sent out, and it was not appropriate to go in and say hello to Zhang Beixin. Just when he wanted to send her a text message to explain, the elevator door opened.

Cao Shen could only go in with Zhao Yong, CEO of Guangda Capital, and Qian Ming, partner of R&F Angel Investment.
