Chapter 183: Advisor Zhou Nanjiang

A bus drove to the financial building at Fuxingmen in Xicheng District. This is the future famous Capital Financial Street. Although there is no official document yet, there is already a trend of a financial centre here. Not only is the newly established China Securities Regulatory Commission located here, but several emerging financial enterprises have also chosen to locate here. This year, a very modern financial building was also completed.

A group of students, looking like students, got off the bus with a spirited young man. These students were the finance class students who had dropped out of Renmin University, and the young man they followed was naturally Zhou Ming. This was the third day since they had dropped out of Renmin University.

'Teacher, you said that a very important financial meeting will be held here today, right? The founders of Binhai and Nanjiang Securities will attend the meeting,' Li Yang, the vice monitor, asked Zhou Ming.

'Of course. If it wasn't such an important meeting, it wouldn't be held here.'

Zhou Ming nodded and gave a definite answer, which made the students excited. Then Zhou Ming reached out and gave a circle, and then said, 'You should also remember this place. It may become the financial centre of the future capital without warning.'

The students would definitely sneer at the idea of this place being the financial centre if someone else said it. Are you the director of the State Planning Commission or some other central leader? But since it was Zhou Ming who said it, they were convinced. It was almost like a cult.

'Teacher, isn't that Mr Luo, the founder of Nanjiang Securities Company? I know that he is not only the founder of Nanjiang Securities Company, but also the one who single-handedly revived Nanjiang Development Bank and created the miracle of the Nanjiang stock market!'

One of the students in the finance class suddenly asked. His words were quickly refuted by the other students: 'What are you talking about? Our teacher Zhou Ming is the founder of Nanjiang Securities Company and the person who created the miracle of the Nanjiang stock market. And the stocks of Nanda Development Bank you mentioned, our teacher also holds a lot of them. How can it be the credit of Luo Han? Are you still our classmate?'

Facing his classmates who strongly supported him, Zhou Ming smiled with relief. However, for him, what the first student said was correct. After all, in the past life without his interference, wasn't it he who single-handedly brought out the Nanjiang stock market and created the miracle of the stock market and the miracle of Nanda Development?

In this life, although there is interference from himself, Luo Han's contribution is still undeniable. After all, he has been a hands-off boss for a long time, and it is not just a matter of doing a few things to create a stock market. Whether it is the usual monitoring of the stock market, the revision and formulation of various rules and regulations, or the timely resolution of problems as they are discovered, and the expansion of the influence of the stock market, etc., isn't all of this done by Luo Han?

However, Zhou Ming would not discourage his classmates from admiring him or dampen their enthusiasm. He himself sometimes found it difficult to accept praise, but it was also quite nice.

Looking in the direction of his classmates, he saw a middle-aged man in a suit standing at the entrance to the Finance Building, being interviewed by the media. This person was Zhou Ming's boss, Luo Han, the first vice president of both Nanjiang Securities Company and Nanjiang Development Bank.

'Hello, Mr Luo, I'm a journalist from Yanjing. I know that this meeting is about the integration of the national financial market. Now that Nanjiang is the national leader, what do you think will happen?'

'Hello, Mr Luo, I'm a reporter from the Financial Times. Although Nanjiang is a national special zone and the first city to pilot the stock market, the stock market on the Binhai side is now catching up. Binhai is backed by the Jiangnan region and has a very good geographical location. Recently, there have been rumours that the secretary of the Binhai Municipal Party Committee will be appointed to the Central Committee. The market's reaction to Binhai is obviously stronger than that to Nanjiang. How will Nanjiang react to this?'

'Mr Luo, you look very young. What leisure activities do you usually do? Do you have any special ways to relax?'

...

Facing the questions from the media, Luo Han just waved his hand lightly and said, 'Dear reporters, today's meeting is held in response to the current domestic financial situation. I believe you can find the answers to your questions in the meeting. Now I haven't gone in, and I don't know the outcome of the meeting. After all, I am just a member of the meeting and I can't make decisions.'

At the end, Luo Han added, 'As for my personal questions, I can only say that I am not an entertainment star, and I am afraid I can't answer these questions.'

As Rohan spoke, even though none of what he said was an answer, the reporters surrounding him still pressed the shutters on their cameras, frantically snapping photos of Rohan. They also picked up pens and notebooks to record the words that were not at all informative.

'Okay, please make way, reporters. I'm about to attend the meeting. If you have any questions, I'll be happy to answer them at the press conference after the meeting,'

Lohan said this and pushed his way through the reporters' encirclement and walked into the financial building. Seeing what Lohan had done, the students in the finance class immediately exclaimed in surprise: "Isn't President Lohan being a bit arrogant? How dare he speak to the reporters like that? Isn't he afraid that the reporters will write something bad about him?'

Some students immediately gave an explanation: "You don't understand, do you? Who is President Lohan? He is the founder of Nanjiang Securities Company and Nanjiang Development Bank. He is a legend in Nanjiang. Even the mayor of Nanjiang has to give him his due respect. You tell me, how dare these reporters go against him! It's not like he just says he won't be interviewed and then decides when he wants to be interviewed.

'A real man should be like this,' Zhou Ming said to his classmates, pointing at Luo Han. 'You all admire Luo Han's social status, but do you know that he is a rare financial talent in the country? It can be said that his status and position come entirely from his talent and hard work, so this is also where you need to work hard. He is your goal!'

Zhou Ming's words excited all the students, as if they could see themselves in the future, directing the country's financial sector, with many reporters chasing after them asking questions, but they were just arrogant and would not answer. Just thinking about it made people unable to sleep.

'Okay, class, since Mr. Luo is not available right now, let's go in first, and we'll go find Mr. Luo later when we have time,'

Zhou Ming said to his students, and then led all the students towards the financial building. But at this moment, suddenly there was a shout from over there: 'Advisor Zhou!'

This shout made everyone freeze. They looked over and saw Luo Han pushing his way through the crowd towards them, leaving a bunch of equally astonished reporters behind.

Did Advisor Zhou mean Teacher Zhou Ming? Yes, it was Teacher Zhou Ming, because when Teacher Zhou Ming was in Nanjiang, wasn't he hired as a development advisor for Nanjiang City?

The students all turned to look at Zhou Ming, and each one's eyes were filled with admiration and excitement, because before, no matter what they heard about Zhou Ming's deeds, they had only heard rumours. But now Luo Han was actually there in person, a witness to Zhou Ming's miracles!

In the gaze of his classmates, Luo Han walked up to Zhou Ming: 'Consultant Zhou, you're here so early? You didn't even tell me, so I could have met you at the door. Look, if I hadn't seen you, I would have just gone straight into the building.'

'It's fine if you go in, I'm going to go in with the students anyway, so I'll find you then. As long as you don't act snooty and don't arrange seats for us,' Zhou Ming said.

Zhou Ming was just joking, but Luo Han hurriedly shook his head and said, 'Advisor Zhou, you're scolding me when you say that. I will definitely work hard to complete whatever you ask of me, how dare I lie to you?'

Zhou Ming laughed and waved his hand, and Luo Han finally reacted. He looked at the students in the finance class next to him and said, 'Advisor Zhou, these are the students in the Renmin University finance class, right? I heard that they are all elite students selected from all over the country. I really envy you all. You are able to receive such attention from the country and such a good teacher as Advisor Zhou. You should all learn well from Advisor Zhou. The future of our country's finance is in your hands!'

In the face of Luo Han's praise, the students subconsciously straightened their backs. 'Please rest assured, Mr Luo, we will work hard to serve our country!'

'What's the situation with the securities company's conversion to a stock exchange?' Zhou Ming asked. Although there was no problem with the securities company acting on behalf of the stock exchange for the time being, a real stock exchange was still needed.

'It's mostly ready, and we can officially list the stock exchange company in half a year at most,' Luo Han nodded and said, 'Please be sure to attend when the time comes, this is also the result of your hard work.'

Zhou Ming nodded and then said, 'Because of some things that happened before, I now take charge of this finance class. I want them to have a more intuitive contact with the financial system, so I approached you, Mr Luo, hoping to arrange for the students to intern and observe at the securities company. That's what I'm here to talk to you about today.'

'That's easy to arrange. Consultant Zhou, just leave the students to me, and I guarantee that I can give them the most intuitive contact with the securities!' Luo Han paused after saying this and then asked, 'Consultant Zhou, do you want the students to start their internship now? Isn't that a bit too early?'

Facing Luo Han's doubts, Zhou Ming shook his head helplessly. However, before Zhou Ming could say anything, someone suddenly shouted over there, 'That's Zhou Ming, the development consultant from Nanjiang back then. He is the real founder of the Nanjiang securities market. Whether it's the securities company, or all the rules and regulations of the securities market, even the later Binhai Securities Company, they were all developed with reference to what he did!'

With this sudden realization, all the reporters remembered Zhou Ming, and they all shouted and swarmed over to interview Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming saw this situation and made a prompt decision: 'President Luo, let's talk about the specifics later, let's go into the building first.'

Luo Han nodded and said okay, so they walked towards the building, and all the students in the finance class spontaneously guarded Zhou Ming.
