The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 499 Encouraging
Douban smiled and didn't speak, but looked at Li Weidong who was still looking around. He wanted to listen to the boss's instructions. Who knows if the boss just stopped by this company to take a look and leave, or if he had some other purpose .

It is up to Li Weidong to decide whether to conduct a private visit first, or to find Jiang Zongtao directly, and let him take him to inspect the company.

Li Weidong took two steps forward and got a little closer to the front desk. Li looked at the company log and corporate slogans on the wall, and shouted loudly, "Become a world-class investment company!"

The company's corporate culture and slogan are also part of the advertisement. There must be some bragging elements, otherwise it will not be enough to promote the company.

If it is changed to the first-class in the country, then there is no need for publicity. If it has already been achieved, it will lose the motivation to struggle. It cannot be said that it must maintain the first-class in the country, and it will appear that it is not aggressive!

The lady at the front desk looked at Li Weidong and the others nervously. She had already got a clear hint from Dou Bing's actions that their business etiquette was correct, which directly showed that the person in front of them was not low in status.

Moreover, Li Weidong just came out of the meeting, and he was wearing a more formal suit and leather shoes. Although the brand of the clothes could not be identified, the fabrics looked unusual, neither high-profile and luxurious, nor shabby.

So she took it for granted that the leader of which department came to inspect the work, and now she wanted to notify the boss, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, there was no such condition.

Of course, she also had some doubts in her heart. Why didn't the leader notify in advance of the inspection work, and she was still accompanied by Mr. Zhu, so she always felt something was wrong.

Li Weidong's eyes moved down. There were also the company's core values, mission and so on on the wall. In short, they were all positive words, which were also part of the corporate culture.

Looking at the little girl who was a bit cramped, Li Weidong smiled, and he saw that she was a newcomer who had just graduated from college. How could an employee in this position be so restrained? This is the face of the company.

Just as he was about to turn his head, he saw an open file on the desk at the front desk, with handwritten records on it. It was obviously not a visitor registration, but rather an annotation for learning something.

The front desk seemed to see Li Weidong's eyes, and hurriedly closed the document. Li Weidong saw it clearly this time. It was a project evaluation report. Unexpectedly, this was a very ambitious front desk.

"You are studying. Does this mean that you don't want to be a front desk anymore and want to do business?" Li Weidong pointed at the document and asked with a smile.

"No, no, I'm just idle and bored, just take a look, yes, I just take a look!" The little girl obviously wanted to cover up.

"It's a good thing to want to do business. There's no shame in it. If you want to do it, apply for a change of guard!" Li Weidong encouraged him in a rare good mood.

"Oh, it's not that easy. I originally interviewed for the position of investment manager, but I didn't pass, and finally became the front desk!" The little girl may have been encouraged, and said with a sigh.

"It's normal to fail. Failure is the mother of success. Just accumulate experience. If you work hard, you will succeed sooner or later!" Li Weidong continued to encourage.

"Don't give me chicken soup. It's not a matter of experience at all. After joining the company, I inquired about the HR department. The company's recruitment of new recruits depends on their education background and school. It's not a matter of famous universities and majors!"

Li Weidong nodded inwardly. His idea has come true. A few years ago, it was so difficult for them to recruit a college student. Now it is not necessary for famous brands. Good companies need to compete for employment, and bad companies only recruit people everywhere.

But he still pretended to be puzzled and asked; "Oh, there is another saying, which school did you graduate from?"

"Jingcheng University of Science and Technology majoring in finance!" The little girl replied helplessly.

Li Weidong was amused when he heard it. This is still an alumnus, but he asked even more puzzled: "Jingcheng Institute of Technology still has this major?"

He has studied in school for four years, but he has never heard of a finance major. Could it be that he has added a new major after [-] years of graduation?
"Look, I'll just say it, I've never heard of it." The little girl spread her hands and laughed at herself, and then said, "The finance department was established in 92, and I'm the third graduate of the finance major!"

"Oh, let me tell you, why didn't I hear about it when I was in school!" Li Weidong suddenly realized.

"You also graduated from Jingcheng Institute of Technology, which year and what major?" The little girl asked excitedly. Meeting alumni after graduation always makes people feel a little familiar.

"Graduating from the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 90, it has been ten years!" Li Weidong sighed, and he also lived ten years longer in his life.

"Hello senior!" The little girl immediately said kindly, then looked at Li Weidong suspiciously, seemed to remember something, and then asked with some uncertainty, "90 Mechanical? You are Li, Mr. Li, I just said that I felt a little You look familiar, you are my idol!"

"I'm full of money, but I can't afford to be an idol!" Li Weidong waved his hands and said with a smile. He seldom went back to school in recent years, but he donated a lot to the school. It is not difficult for the students in the school to know him.

"Can you sign for me?" the little girl asked expectantly, holding a pen and notebook.

"Still signing, do you really regard me as an idol?" Li Weidong looked at the junior girl dumbfounded, and really couldn't bear to refuse.

Li Weidong finally took the pen, wrote his name in the notebook, thought for a while and wrote a sentence, I wish you an early gold medal investor.

"Here, please inform us!" Li Weidong said with a smile as he handed her the signed notebook.

He will definitely not do any private visits in microservices when he comes here. Besides, how do you conduct private visits in microservices, and whether you can enter the door is another matter!

"Okay, okay, Mr. Jiang should be presiding over the weekly investment decision-making meeting at this time, I'll tell the office right away!" The little girl happily picked up the phone on the table.

Within a few minutes of the phone call, a group of people rushed out from the inside, and the first person was Jiang Zongtao.

From a long distance, Jiang Zongtao began to stretch out his hand and said respectfully: "Chairman, hello, hello, I didn't know you were here, I'm really sorry, you are welcome to guide our work!"

After speaking, Jiang Zongtao smiled apologetically at Doubing and Liu Dachun. If these two were also guests at ordinary times, they would definitely receive a grand reception, but in today's situation, he can only express his apology.

Naturally, Liu Dachun and Doubing didn't care about this matter, and they also smiled and nodded to Jiang Zongtao and the vice presidents who followed.

"I've never been here before, so stop by and have a look!" Li Weidong and Jiang Zongtao shook hands and said with a smile.

Li Weidong and Jiang Zongtao are also old acquaintances. He is the first group of old people who followed Li Weidong. When Jingwei Investment was first established, he was the company's risk control director.

Later, with the expansion of the company's scale, he was gradually promoted to become the vice president of the company. However, because of the needs of development, Jingwei Investment's head office in Hong Kong Island became nameless.

Almost all the staff work in the mainland, and only a shell remains of the headquarters on Hong Kong Island, which also means that they are a Hong Kong-owned company, and the employees of various departments are scattered in various subsidiaries.

Only the supervision and auditing departments of Jingwei Investment have also moved to the mainland. Naturally, the heads of the various functional departments of the head office have to work in the subsidiaries, and Jiang Zongtao, the vice president, has naturally become the head of the Beijing subsidiary. At the same time, he is also the nominal vice president of Jingwei Investment.

Although it is a subsidiary company, it seems that the level is small, but Zheng Sijing is the only person with real power in the parent company, that is to say, whether in fact or in name, they are only under the jurisdiction of Zheng Sijing alone.

And Jiang Zongtao and Zheng Sijing have been in an old relationship for more than ten years, and Zheng Sijing trusts him more, so he is very comfortable as the general manager of this subsidiary now, it can be said that he is under one person and above hundreds of people.

And now it is rumored that Zheng Sijing will be in charge of the company's supervision and inspection work. Jiang Zongtao sometimes wonders whether the three subsidiaries will be directly managed by Xinsheng Holdings at some point, and Jingwei Investment will be completely divided into three.

Just now, I held an investment decision-making meeting with several vice presidents and directors of relevant departments. I suddenly received a call saying that Li Weidong and Li Dong had come, and he almost got out of his seat in shock.

There is no need to attend to the meeting, as the company's senior management personnel are all there, so there is no need to convene, and they can directly form a welcoming square, and come out of the meeting in a hurry to greet them.

"Knowing that you are coming to the capital, I want you to come to the company for inspection. I'm afraid it will delay your time, so I don't have the nerve to say it!" Jiang Zongtao became more respectful, and he was very careful about his status and Li Weidong's status.

"Chairman, why don't we go in and let me report the company's situation to you?" Jiang Zongtao looked at Li Weidong and asked. This is the site he operates. Now that the boss is here, he naturally wants to show his work to the boss.

Only when the boss sees the highlights of your work, will he be able to remember you, and he will have hope for promotion and salary increase in the future!
"Well, go in and have a look!" Li Weidong nodded, then turned his head and waved to the little girl at the front desk, "Thank you, elementary school girl!"

The little girl immediately became nervous, and the feeling of being fearless because of nervousness just now was gone. Now it's not just Li Weidong, but also their boss.

Jiang Zongtao turned his head and glanced at the young lady at the front desk, his eyes seemed to be asking, when did he meet the chairman, and she was still a junior, could it be that the front desk has other connections?
It's just that if there is such a relationship, why do you still work at the front desk? How does the background check of the personnel department do it? But now is not the time to ask, so I can only keep this doubt in my heart.

Investment companies recruit people, although they will pay attention to academic qualifications and whether they are from prestigious schools, but they are more concerned about background, family background, and social background.

If the parents have a strong background, even if the school is poor and the education level is very low, they are still willing to recruit.

The entire 24th floor is divided into several spaces with glass doors. The fully transparent space makes people feel open-minded and positive.

"Chairman, why don't you go to the conference room and let me report to you the specific situation of the company, or...?" Jiang Zongtao asked after entering the office.

"I just came up to take a look, it doesn't need to be so formal, you show me, let's talk while walking!" Li Weidong said after a while.

"Okay chairman, let's report to you as we go, which is more intuitive. The floor we are on is basically the office of the investment department. Now the company's deputy general manager and chief investment officer Gao Mr. Wei Gao is in charge!" Jiang Zongtao accompanied Li Weidong, pointing to the middle-aged man next to him.

When Gao Wei heard Jiang Zongtao's words, he immediately leaned slightly to greet Li Weidong, "Hi, Chairman, I'm Gao Wei!"

Li Weidong nodded slightly with a smile, as a greeting, which was very different from the treatment he received with his junior sister at the door.

Jiang Zongtao continued: "The investment department currently consists of four specific departments, namely the asset allocation and strategic research department, the special investment department, the first venture capital department and the second venture capital department. There are also several industry groups under each department. The total number of people is about More than 150 people!"

Seeing Li Weidong nodding, Jiang Zongtao continued to introduce the various departments of the company. Li Weidong also took a quick look at it. Finally, Jiang Zongtao made a concluding speech on the overall situation of the company.

"Chairman, at present, the company has a chief investment officer in charge of investment, a chief risk officer in charge of risk control, and a chief operating officer in charge of the company's daily work. Since the establishment of the subsidiary, it has invested in more than 600 companies, among which it has successfully invested at home and abroad. There are more than 40 companies listed on the market, and about [-] companies can generate blood by themselves and form a scale!"

Jiang Zongtao has a bright face. Since the establishment of the subsidiary, that is to say, after he took power, the probability of more than 400 companies is no longer considered a venture capital investment. Which venture capital company has such a success rate.

There are few listed companies because there are few listed companies in China. What can he do? As long as the company can grow, they can still cash out if they don’t go public. Of course, the steps may be more troublesome and the profits may be less.

Li Weidong nodded, and said: "This is a compliment. It is very commendable to be able to achieve this level of venture capital. I hope you will continue to work hard and maintain this momentum. If you have achievements, the company will not be stingy!"

"Yes, Chairman, we must fulfill our duties, strive for excellence, seek knowledge and enterprising, pursue excellence, and strive for greater heights!" Jiang Zongtao recited the company's core values ​​excitedly.

"It's good to have this ambition, but we must also be aware of the difficulties in the future. With the advent of the WTO, some foreign venture capital companies will definitely pour in on a large scale. In the future, the competition in the field of venture capital will become more and more fierce. If you don't advance, you will retreat, and if you are not careful, you may be out!"

"Of course, in addition to the general environment, there are also some entrepreneurial personnel whose quality varies from good to bad. They are becoming more and more able to package themselves, and they can fake everything. You must keep your eyes open and observe carefully!"

"Yes, yes, Mr. Zheng has ordered us to conduct a self-examination. The risk control department, the supervision and audit department and other relevant departments have been working overtime for two consecutive weeks to rearrange the information and resolutely prevent such things from happening!" Jiang Zongtao said.

Although this incident didn't happen in their company, it was an internal matter of Jingwei Investment.

Li Weidong nodded and said calmly: "Risk control is your specialty, don't make mistakes in this, I hope there will be a wider stage in the future to give full play to your specialty!"
