It was already 7:30 pm after get off work, and the few people went straight to Lan Kwai Fong without going around.

Graffiti Bar, four financial dogs gathered. As for foreigner James, it is said that he went to contact a potential customer.

Lan Kwai Fong is less than 500 meters away from the company in a straight line, so it is naturally out of place for formal wear. Although he took off his suit and tied, compared with the people around him, the four of them still looked a bit alternative.

Compared with Kim Jong Wan Chai, Central is the commercial center of Hong Kong. It is full of financial companies and is a well-deserved distribution center for wealth in Hong Kong and a place where rich people often appear.

"Wow!" After entering the bar, the Indians were quite excited.

Unfortunately, the most popular among beauties are always handsome European and American men, or big financial owners with mysterious aura. At first glance, they are financial migrant workers from nearby office buildings. Apart from occasionally coming to drink or selling alcohol, the four-person combination did not attract much attention.

"Seldom drink, I'll treat you today." Gao Yunfei was very aware of the landlords. He took the lead in greeting, and said to the bar waiter: "Ketel one martini, do it a little, without adding ice."

Chen Qiao only needs Budweiser, and his family knows his family's affairs. He doesn't want to make a fool of himself in front of his colleagues as soon as he comes to Hong Kong. The main purpose of tonight is to get familiar with these people, and it's best to get some information.

Unfortunately, the bar is not a place for chatting.

In an restless environment, Chen Qiaoshan felt like he was returning to his previous life's bright lights and wine. Looking around, he was surrounded by long legs, low-cut charming beauties, which was no different from the bars all over Wudaokou.

Seeing him looking around, Gao Yunfei teased: "Chen, do you want to find two beautiful girls to accompany you?"

Bahadvaki cheered and said, "Chan, don't be restrained, this is the happy place in Hong Kong." As he was speaking, the DJ began to exert force, and the Indian guy couldn't sit still, so he just started to have fun with the rhythm.

Not to mention, this guy has a sense of rhythm. Indians seem to have a dance gene, and a rough man gives a bit of enchanting feeling.

The bar is completely infuriating, but for financial dogs, this is the best place to relax. As for sexual encounters, there is definitely no one.

The four of them didn't sit for a long time, had a few drinks, and then they dispersed. The rich nightlife was like a luxury for the financial dogs who were working hard at the bottom.

Wang Feng stopped Chen Qiaoshan, "It's still early, let's find a place to have midnight snacks."

This is exactly what Chen Qiaoshan thought. It was a good idea for a new arrival. An alumnus asked a few questions, but he still asked: "Is it convenient? I'll go to work tomorrow, so it won't waste your time, right?"

"No problem, I live in Haiyunxuan, Hongle Road, Hung Hom, and I rented a single apartment. I can get home in 25 minutes by the sea bus. It's very convenient." When talking about this topic, Wang Feng seemed very happy. Only after getting the internship quota from Goldman Sachs, he had the opportunity to see a different world.

Wang Feng's original goal was to stay in Yanjing after graduation, but after he arrived in Hong Kong, he completely changed his original idea. He wanted to stay and stay at Goldman Sachs.

In Yanjing, he went out for an internship and only had a subsidy of a few hundred yuan a month. In Hong Kong, Goldman Sachs subsidized monthly rent is 5,000 yuan, not to mention a monthly salary of nearly 20,000 yuan. This is just an intern. Even the middle-level CICC may not be able to get this salary. Compared with the two, the gap is easy for people to make a choice.

"Where are you, where do you live?"

"I'm not far away." Chen Qiaoshan did not mention the five-star hotel apartment. It is a high-end residential area. Most of the residents are senior executives of major multinational companies in Hong Kong. They cannot be afforded by Goldman Sachs' subsidies. He asked, "Where are we going?"

Wang Feng said: "Go to eat food stalls, just on Stanley Street. Although this is Central, it is full of high consumption places. In fact, the most popular food stalls are these food stalls. The taste is unspeakable. There is no place to go late."

Wang Feng was obviously familiar with the environment. After a while, he shuttled through the cracks of the tall buildings, the two of them arrived at a food stall with Shengji sign hanging on the food stall. The environment was not very good, they were all fences made of iron sheets. It was hard to imagine outside, and there were two worlds just a few corners.

Neither of them could speak Cantonese, but this was obviously not a problem for Wang Feng. He spoke in poor English and gestures and commentary, and finally finished the order.

Nowadays, it is not as good as later generations. Mandarin will definitely not work, especially for Hong Kong people who have kept up with the age of age. Chen Qiaoshan once read a report that before traveling freely, the three major languages ​​in Hong Kong were Cantonese, English and Filipino, and Mandarin did not even squeeze into the top three.

Soon, chicken pot, tofu and fish slip soup, raw fried bones, and fresh squid were delivered one after another. Wang Feng did not boast, although it was just a food stall, the taste was really good.

Wang Feng knew Chen Qiaoshan’s thoughts, so he asked for a bottle of beer, held the wine glass, and talked about PWM’s situation.

"If you want to stay at Goldman Sachs, you have to work hard."

Wang Feng first said in a summary. He seemed to be very touched. "There are only two ways to stay. One is to hold the boss's thigh and ask for an internal recommendation opportunity. The other is to look at the internship assessment and strive to get re-hired admission. However, the probability is very low. Less than 10% of Goldman Sachs interns can stay. Fortunately, there are other investment banks that can give it a try."

"We don't have many customers in our team, but the per capita entrusted funds of the service exceed 8 million US dollars. Unfortunately, we are both interns and can only start from the grassroots level."

"Although the impact of the 97 financial crisis has not yet passed, there are still many rich people..."

Chen Qiaoshan knew that even if he encountered a serious financial crisis, money would not disappear out of thin air. If someone went bankrupt and jumped off a building, he would definitely make a fortune.

In the subprime mortgage crisis in 2008, as the most influential investment bank on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs successfully escaped the crisis, but was involved in a whirlpool of public opinion. Many people questioned that it was because of Goldman Sachs' malicious manipulation of stock prices, which led to the bankruptcy of giants like Lehman and Bear Stearns. However, no one has pursued the money.

To be honest, a financial crisis is a process of rebalancing wealth, but this process is often mixed with cruelty and blood.

"Senior Brother Wang, what do we do usually?"

"We are nominally financial analysts, but in fact, we are just doing odd jobs. Finding customers is a VP or MD. However, if you have the resources, it is not difficult to get a re-hire to be admitted." Wang Feng smiled and joked.

In the financial world, social resources are also a kind of capital, even large investment banks like Goldman Sachs are applicable.

Of course, Wang Feng never thought about what capital Chen Qiaoshan would have. Those who could join Goldman Sachs by relying on their relationship could not be the children of ordinary families, and those people would not come to PWM, so their first choice was of course IBD.

Investment banks have high salaries, but they are not working together. The positions are also divided into front-end and middle-end back-end. They are all financial analysts. They can only be a choreographer in PWM, and in the investment research department, they are BOSS-level.

The most popular among investment banks is definitely IBD. They are responsible for corporate IPOs, mergers, leveraged financing and restructuring. The businesses involved are often nine-digit, and the jobs they take are more and the salary is high, which also makes IBD concentrate the most social resources.

...

With the help of Wang Feng, Chen Qiaoshan began his investment banking life.

He arrived at the office at 7:30 every morning. The first thing he did was to understand the immediate market trends, and then he would hurry up and get familiar with the account opening application materials of more than 100,000 words.

However, most of the time, Chen Qiaoshan is doing odd jobs, doing jobs similar to office secretary, helping Gao Yunfei check data, helping Indians prepare materials, and helping VB buy coffee. Seeing that Wang Feng is too busy, he has to help.

Two days have passed, and Chen Qiaoshan has not received the VB assessment.

James seemed to have forgotten that he was a new intern and simply used Chen Qiaoshan as a clerk. He was reluctant to assign him the simplest errand to collect customer information.

Wang Feng was also surprised. The two of them got together again when they had lunch. "James is a very rigorous person. You can see that although he is the boss, he will never be a minute late. Even in the middle of the night, he will reply to work emails as soon as possible. There is no reason to forget your assessment."
