'Comrade Jiang Chunhua, take care. We will have linked your account for you by tomorrow, which means you will be able to trade stocks normally by tomorrow afternoon at the latest, before the stock exchange opens. And if you have any questions about your stock trading, that is, if you are unsure about the current stock market trend, you can contact your account manager directly, and he will answer you from a professional point of view.'
Li Hong saw Jiang Chunhua to the door and gave him a final reminder, to which Jiang Chunhua impatiently waved his hand: 'I know. Don't you get tired of it? Don't you always insult my intelligence with your intelligence? I said I came to speculate in stocks, and that's what I'm going to do!'
Despite what Jiang Chunhua said, Li Hong still nagged him a bit more, and only let him go when he saw that he was really about to lose his temper.
After seeing Jiang Chunhua off, Li Hong said to Li Yang, 'It seems that Consultant Zhou was right. Jiang Chunhua is really a troublemaker, but I didn't expect him to come on his own. It seems that this is all he can do. Fortunately, we were prepared. It wouldn't have been fun if he had caused a scene at the company, especially since he brought so many reporters.'
'Yes, it's a good thing we didn't let him really cause any trouble,'
Li Yang said with little conviction, and he frowned because he always felt that something was wrong today, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
'Okay, Comrade Li, our top priority now is to figure out how to get An Guo Securities' popularity up first, we can't keep waiting for Consultant Zhou to send us food,'
Li Hong said as he led Li Yang back to An Guo Securities Company. Once they returned to the office, Li Yang immediately called Zhou Ming. 'Teacher, just as you predicted, Jiang Chunhua really came today, but he came alone. He just opened an account today. He wanted to make a scene, and he brought the press with him, but we didn't find any reason for him.'
Zhou Ming on the other end of the line thought for a moment and said, 'That's good. You must remember to follow the rules and regulations strictly. As long as we don't make any mistakes, they won't have a chance.'
'Don't worry, teacher, I will,' Li Yang said.
Jiang Chunhua had already walked out of the securities company. He turned the corner and got into an Audi on the side of the road. The middle-aged man, Uncle Yong, was sitting in the car. When he saw Jiang Chunhua get in, he asked, 'How did it go today? You look so happy, it seems like everything went very well?'
'It went too well!' Jiang Chunhua replied.
This answer took the middle-aged man by surprise: "So you went to An Guo Securities Company so openly and no one there knew about it? This is a bit illogical, after all, you came here on the first day of business.'
Jiang Chunhua laughed and said, "Uncle Yong, of course I'm not talking about my side of things going well. In fact, as soon as I went in, the two managers arranged by Zhou Ming came to me, and of course I caused a scene in the lobby as well.'
'What are you doing? Don't you know that this kind of behaviour is not going to achieve anything?' the middle-aged man said.
Jiang Chunhua nodded and said, 'Of course I know, but if I didn't do this, why would they send me the most attentive and clever account manager?'
This answer took the middle-aged man by surprise. Jiang Chunhua then pointed towards the entrance of An Guo Securities Company. The middle-aged man looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a young man being escorted out by a client manager. Jiang Chunhua then rolled down the window and, after the client manager had gone back inside, waved his hand in that direction. The young man saw Jiang Chunhua waving and immediately came over.
When the young man arrived at the car, Jiang Chunhua introduced him to the middle-aged man: 'This is my friend Xiaohu. He has just successfully opened an account with An Guo Securities.'
Then Jiang Chunhua asked the young man: "What do you think? Was the account manager who opened the account for you smart and attentive enough?'
'He was smart and attentive, but he was also a bit greedy, because there was a lot of money in my linked bank account, and when he came out, he hoped that I would trade more," the young man replied.
'Greed is a good quality. How can you get things done without being greedy?' Jiang Chunhua said.
The middle-aged man picked up on the scent and asked Jiang Chunhua, "You actually planned for him to do that, didn't you?'
'Uncle Yong, I never planned to do it myself from the beginning. After all, my goal is too obvious, and they will definitely guard against me. But it seems that I also have obvious benefits now!" Jiang Chunhua said with a smile.
Jiang Chunhua then told the young man to 'do as I say' and waved him away. The middle-aged man asked if the young man could be trusted. Jiang Chunhua nodded and replied, 'Don't worry, Uncle Yong, this is someone I brought with me from Beijing. He's one of us.'
'This was a very well-executed plan, and the ruse of building a new store while secretly closing the old one took me by surprise,' the middle-aged man said.
Jiang Chunhua laughed: 'There's nothing I can do about it. Who could make me such an obvious target? If I don't make good use of this advantage, how can I succeed? I know that An Guo Securities, as the first brokerage firm, will definitely be very careful in choosing account managers. However, there is nothing I can do about greed. So, to ensure success, I will go over there first and attract the best account managers over. That will make things easier for Xiaohu. After all, no one knows him, and no one knows about his relationship with me.'
The middle-aged man nodded: 'This is a good start, but you still need to be careful and remember not to become complacent.'
'Uncle Yong, don't worry, just wait for my good news!' Jiang Chunhua said.
Then the car started, and the middle-aged man and Jiang Chunhua went back to the villa. That night, Xiaohu came to the Dongmen Hotel. With him was an account manager from An Guo Securities Company. They found a seat together and sat down to eat.
'Manager Sun, you see, I have opened an account with your company and deposited so much money into it. I really want to make money from stocks, otherwise I wouldn't have come here especially to open an account. But I don't understand stocks at all. There are so many listed stocks in the securities company, and I don't know which one to buy. Please help.' Tiger said this while pouring a glass of wine for Manager Sun.
Manager Sun clinked glasses with Tiger and said, 'Tiger, it's not that I'm not going to help you, it's just that there are rules in our company. Our account managers are not allowed to speculate in stocks for our clients.'
'What kind of stupid rule is that? You are obviously professionals, you know more about stocks than ordinary people like us! If you help me speculate, I'm sure I can get a better return. Look, I don't even know anything about stocks, if you open an account for me, I won't know which stock to buy, and all that money in my account will just be wasted. I might as well just deposit it in the bank and earn interest. There are also treasury bonds, I hear that the interest rate on them is quite high,' said Xiaohu.
'Don't make that decision yet. Treasury bonds have been seeing interest rate cuts, and even if there aren't any cuts, the interest they pay is a few cents a year, which is definitely not comparable to the few cents a day the stock market pays.' Manager Sun said.
'But Manager Sun, you're not helping me speculate in the stock market, so how would I know which stocks to buy and which not to?' Tiger said helplessly with his arms spread out.
'The stock market is doing very well right now, and unless it's some special stock, buying any stock at random will make money...'
Before Sun Manager could finish his sentence, Xiaohu interrupted him, saying, 'But I want to make more money! How would I know which stocks will rise in value? What if I buy a stock that will fall the next day because I'm unlucky? I can't do it. I'm a coward. If you won't help me, Sun Manager, I'd rather not buy any stocks.'
'Tiger, don't think like that. Look at all the money in your account. Just leaving it there isn't good enough. The best way to make money is to find a way to invest it and get it moving.'
Tiger was unmoved. Manager Sun thought for a moment and then reluctantly said, 'Look, how about this? It's true that our company rules say that our account managers can't trade stocks for our clients. But we can provide you with stock market information. I can tell you which stocks I predict will do well and which won't. With this information, you can make a better decision.'
After hearing Manager Sun's words, Xiaohu gave it some serious thought. He nodded at first, then shook his head and said, 'No, Manager Sun, what you're saying sounds really good, but it's still no good. I don't have that much time, and I've heard that stock prices change every minute. What if I buy this stock as you advise, and then it drops right after I buy it? Even if you tell me, there's nothing I can do to change it right away!'
'So if Manager Sun won't help me speculate in stocks, I guess I'll just give up on stocks,' Xiaohu concluded.
Seeing Manager Sun frowning and looking hesitant, Xiaohu continued, 'Manager Sun, of course I won't ask you to speculate for me for free. What do you think about splitting the profits 40/60? Originally, you would get a commission for each transaction, and with the profits, it would be almost 50/50. Isn't that more profitable than being an account manager? Don't you want to make money, Manager Sun?'
'Of course I want to make more money, but some things are not that simple,' Manager Sun said.
Seeing that Manager Sun seemed to be a bit more open, Xiaohu continued, 'Manager Sun, I know what you're worried about. If I lose, it'll all be on me, and I promise I won't cause you any trouble.'
Xiao Huo said, pointing hard at himself: 'Manager Sun, you know how much money I have in my account. I'm not a person who lacks money. I just want my investment to become more meaningful. So if I lose, I lose. I won't hold it against you. And Manager Sun, I can see that you're an honest person too, and I'm willing to trust you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked you to help me open an account.'
'Manager Sun, judging from your accent, you are a native of Nanjiang. I think you must have been to Gangcheng and know that there are also those securities brokers from abroad there. Don't they all help their clients speculate in stocks? Why is it that they can do it but we can't? There is no such rule.' Tiger said.
This remark finally became the straw that broke the camel's back. After listening to Xiaohu's remark, Manager Sun made up his mind and said, 'Okay, I can help you speculate in the stock market, and we can split the profits as you said. But if you lose money, don't come to me.'
'Of course. I'd like to thank Manager Sun in advance!' Xiaohu smiled and thanked him, but Manager Sun did not see the fleeting conspiracy in Xiaohu's eyes.
