Rebirth: Stockbroker, I have market data

Chapter 480: It is indeed a sad story

Xiao Jin was giving "high-end courses" to Ye Tian. Similarly, in Cui Zhian's office, a man with glasses sat, who looked like a high-end turtle. He was also telling Cui Zhian and Zhao Pingfan about his work experience in investment banks.

Wang Xi is an investment banker at the headquarters. He is a newcomer with seven or eight years of experience in investment banking. He came to the Shanghai branch to take charge of one side.

Cui Zhian and Zhao Pingfan naturally welcomed him and were very interested in the mysterious investment bank he mentioned. However, he said that he was nothing special and that he was transferred to the Shanghai company because he was grateful to the company headquarters for giving him the opportunity.

You know, from the headquarters to the local companies, they are all prominent, noble and beautiful, but Wang Xi does not think so.

Without him, in his opinion, Shanghai is the best place in China. Guangzhou cannot compare. It has a broader market and endless business. This is the real financial core. Otherwise, Why don’t you have a stock exchange in Guangzhou? !

He told two wonderful stories about one of his classmates and a colleague.

When he first entered the industry, he had a high school classmate. Later, the two were admitted to the same 985 finance department. The difference was that he did not become a turtle, although he looked like one, while his classmate was a real turtle. sea ​​life.

His classmate worked very hard in college, but his later experience made him regret it. He said that the top 985 bachelor's degree in finance in China and the master's degree in finance from the Ivy League in the United States were a blinding eye. When he returned to China after graduation, I caught up with the autumn recruitment of my alma mater and got several offers.

When he was out of the upcoming finals, he was torn between foreign investment banks and leading domestic financial central enterprises. His parents advised him to choose financial central enterprises because school recruitment was the only way for non-affiliated applicants to get in, and the platform was high and stable.

But his classmate finally chose a foreign investment bank. On the one hand, this is the "best" job in the eyes of most finance students. On the other hand, he thought that he had done so many internships and would be at a loss if he did not go to an investment bank to make money. Because of this choice, he He had a big fight with his parents, but in the end his parents still couldn't convince him and had to let him go to HK.

When he first started working, the work was extremely intense, with him staying up until early morning every day and taking weekends off, but despite the halo of investment banking, he was still very fulfilled.

However, the financial market conditions were very poor that year, and many institutions were cutting costs and increasing efficiency. After three months on the job, he was laid off!

Falling from the sky to the ground in an instant!

Living alone in Hong Kong, without a job, identity, family or friends, I cried myself to sleep every day in a daze, refused to hear Cantonese and English, and chose to avoid the news of financial layoffs.

In the first two months when he lost his job, he didn't dare to tell his parents because he was afraid that they would complain that he didn't listen to them and go to a central enterprise, and he was also afraid that they would be worried about him.

This classmate of his was burdened with the pressure of high rent in Hong Kong, while seeing expensive psychologists, while applying for resumes everywhere, both in Hong Kong and mainland China, but he was trying to reduce costs and increase efficiency everywhere, and his work experience was not enough. He couldn't find a job at all.

Because of psychological problems, he performed very poorly even during interviews, not even as good as his undergraduate performance.

Two months later, he finally couldn't stand it any longer. He confessed to his parents and returned to his hometown.

His family is not actually wealthy, just a well-off family in a third-tier city. At that time, his family valued his education, so they were willing to spend so much savings to send him to study in the United States. And he believed that after graduation, not only did he fail to repay his parents, but he also became a They killed the homeless and became a burden to them.

Especially after returning to my hometown, my relatives all gossiped that I was admitted to such a good school at that time, but now I still can't find a job.

His parents persuaded him to take the civil service exam and bought tutoring books, but he couldn't read a word of it and just wanted to continue submitting resumes. However, his frustration at HK made him suffer from severe mental illness. He even Will suddenly break down and cry during the interview.

He also thought about stopping psychological counseling and no longer wanted to spend his parents' money, but he could not prevent himself from suffering. He also fell into a strong internal conflict and doubted many of his decisions along the way.

You know, the college entrance examination scores of Wang Xi and his classmates at that time allowed them to choose any major except Qingbei. His classmates were wondering whether they should have chosen science and engineering at the beginning? Shouldn't they go to the United States to study for a master's degree and spend so much money as their parents, instead of studying in China? Better to take the public exam?

Should I listen to my parents and go to a central enterprise, so that I won't be unemployed like now? !

This is indeed a sad story!

Wang Xi told this story as if to tell the audience that choice is important, but even if you make the right choice, you still need to persist and change in the future, and cultivate yourself. The next story tells everyone that not all major investment banking institutions are investment banks. Elite, maybe also a weirdo pig teammate.

This happened to a colleague of Wang Xi who worked at HK a few years ago. At a party at the beginning of a certain year, this investment bank colleague claimed that he was from Hong Kong, in his 30s, and had obtained permanent residence and bought a house in Mid-Levels. Residential, previously worked in offices in Mainland China.

During the conversation, they kept chatting or bragging about how much wealth and taste they had, and they kept flattering themselves in front of Party A to show off themselves.

In the end, even Party A's client couldn't stand it and directly said to him, "You don't have to keep praising me and belittling others. There's no need."

It's weird to have a customer say something like this, but there are even more bizarre scenarios.

On the day of the meeting, he also brought along a good-looking foreign female salesperson. Without understanding the relationship between the people at the event, he vigorously praised this beautiful saleswoman in front of Party A’s wife, which finally made her look bad. very ugly.

However, God's operation is not over yet.

Facing this "investment bank elite", some investment bank colleagues asked him, "How did you get your first pot of gold?" or talked about other things he said in a little detail, but he said nothing.

Later, Wang Xi learned that this client did not ask him to do this project. At that time, the investment banker resigned soon after. The last meal may have been his final struggle to stay in the investment banking department.

Naturally, there is no way to survive in an investment bank, a platform where elites gather, if you speak without online emotional intelligence or use extremely stupid investment banking business practices.

Zhao Pingfan smiled and said: "This is like abruptly canceling my project!"

However, Wang Xi said that many investment bank colleagues knew about this incident back then and made classic comments, which were quite interesting:

"This is a genius who drank some fake wine the night before and still didn't wake up the next day!"

"This man who claims to be an investment banker may be a fake!"

Everyone laughed after hearing this. The two stories quickly made Wang Xi distance himself from Cui Zhian and Zhao Pingfan. At the same time, they also said that investment banking is not as mysterious as they thought!
