my return 2002

Chapter 18 Layoffs.

After returning from eating in the restaurant, Shen Lang went to the dormitory management office to apply for the Internet. Although the Internet in universities is generally rubbish these days, it's better than nothing.

After spending half an hour assembling the computer, Shen Lang created a document and began to write his graduation thesis.

Seeing that the deadline for the manuscript is still one month away, Shen Lang still hasn't moved a single word.

In fact, mainland universities do not have very high requirements for graduation thesis. Basically, as long as they are not too outrageous, they can pass. Shen Lang didn't spend too much time, so he wrote an article discussing the macroeconomic environment in the next two years, among other things. , Many of the data quoted in the article are first-hand data obtained from Fuhua Finance, which is still very convincing.

"It's done."

With revisions and polishes back and forth, Shen Lang spent two hours rushing out this paper.

Mail, New, Send.

After finishing it, Shen Lang stretched his waist and got up to take a shower.

When he came out of the bathroom, he suddenly heard the phone ringing, and it turned out that it was Lao Yao calling.

"Hello, Teacher Yao?"

"Xiao Shen, I read your thesis just now, and it's very interesting. I heard that you became a regular in Fuhua Finance on the first day. It seems that I still don't know much about the students in the class."

Shen Lang secretly laughed in his heart, usually he is almost the same as an invisible person in his class, with mediocre grades and looks, and he doesn't care much about the postgraduate entrance examination. It is estimated that Lao Yao can't even remember his name clearly.

"Hey, I made a mistake too, Mr. Yao, is there anything wrong with my paper?"

Lao Yao smiled and said, "No big problem. I'll fix some small flaws for you. Just prepare for your graduation defense."

"Oh, I'll trouble Teacher Yao, I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free." Shen Lang said politely.

"Hey, you kid, keep it hidden. If I found out earlier, I would definitely let you apply for my graduate school."

Afterwards, the two chatted for a few more words, and Shen Lang hung up the phone. He didn't know that his thesis was quickly used by Lao Yao as a template for the students of the Finance Department of Dongda University to study. Inside, Shen Lang actually gained a little fame in the Finance Department of Dongda University.

The May Day holiday ended soon, and Liuqin's 1000 million funds were in place as scheduled. Shen Lang still used the funds to buy Harbin Pharmaceutical stocks batch by batch.

However, as Shen Lang expected, the market fluctuations in May were much smaller than last month, and Shen Lang's operations were also more frequent than last month.

Buying and selling with a rise and fall of 8% each time, although the income is not as good as last month, but the overall increase is 60%, and Shen Lang also received a commission commission of 15 points.

For a commission of 90 yuan, Liuqin obviously hesitated for a long time when transferring the account, but finally earned the money into Shen Lang's card.

"Xiao Shen, I told you last time about my daughter."

Well, it was clear that he was going to prostitute for nothing, and Shen Lang refused directly without even thinking about it.

He now has 128 million capital plus stocks, which is enough as start-up capital.

Now it's not that he can't do without Liuqin, but that Liuqin can't do without him and wants to whore for nothing?There are no doors.

Having just returned to work on June 6rd, Shen Lang found that there was something wrong with the atmosphere in the company.

"Old Cao, what's the matter?" Shen Lang asked curiously.

Cao Lei's face was full of gloom: "You don't know yet, the company's financial report for the first half of the year came out, and the loss was serious. I heard that the staff will be downsized. Everyone is in danger."

"Layoffs?" Shen Lang was stunned for a moment. In his previous life, he was kicked out before the three-month internship period, and he never paid attention to Fuhua Finance again. He really didn't know that Fuhua Finance had a layoff plan in June.

Cao Lei said in a low voice: "Yes, you have to be careful, after all, you have only been a regular for less than three months."

"Isn't it? Hasn't our fund been profitable for two consecutive months?"

Let me say here that Manager Liu still has two hands. Even in May when the market fluctuated greatly, Manager Liu's fund was profitable. Although it was only 3.4%, it was already one of the few funds in the company that did not lose money. Manager, this reflects his stability.

Cao Lei patted Shen Lang on the shoulder, and explained: "Hey, isn't this a big bull market company that has recruited a lot of people in the past two years. Now that the market is not good, you must cut down your expenses. Aren't you going to graduate soon? Well, I must ask for a period of time off, and HR may make a fuss about it."

"Well, I see, thank you for reminding me." Shen Lang nodded.

Under the cloud of layoffs, everyone is cautious, for fear of being caught by HR because of a small problem. As the saying goes, if you don’t be greedy, lazy, or special, who dares to hit the gun?

Especially the batch of interns who came in with Shen Lang, all of them are so diligent that they are almost living in the company. After all, the interns haven't become full-time employees and they are casually fired. They are the focus of HR's attention.

Only Shen Lang didn't have the slightest sense of self-awareness, he still clocked in on the dot every day, and got off work when the dot arrived.

Having money in hand and not panicking is a true portrayal of Shen Lang. At worst, he should quit, rent a house by himself, trade stocks every day and be a happy retail investor, and live a more chic life.

Of course, Manager Liu also talked to Shen Lang, and he will try his best to keep Shen Lang. Generally, as long as the direct leadership is strong in this situation, HR will not take the risk of offending others to force layoffs.

From June 6th, HR began to lay off staff with big scissors. The first to suffer were the interns. Only three of the ten interns in the investment department stayed, and besides Shen Lang, the other two hadn't. If you become a full-time employee, it is not certain whether you can become a full-time employee.

Feng Xiaoxiao's finance department was even worse. She was the only one who stayed with another girl, who also didn't become a regular.

Not only that, on June 6th, just after work, the company issued an internal email, saying that it was going to set up a new department: the Venture Capital Department.

What's even more weird is that the leader of this new department was not promoted from within the company, but was directly airborne.

Moreover, the personnel of the venture capital department are not recruited from the outside, but directly transferred from the inside.

Cao Lei slid closer to Shen Lang's side: "Hey, tell me, does this venture capital department have a future? I heard that foreign venture capital is very popular now."

Around 2000, venture capital was still an emerging industry in China. Even companies such as Ali and Penguin could not attract investment in China. One can imagine how big the market is here.

Shen Lang's heart moved, but in the end he shook his head and said: "I don't think it's very reliable. If the company is really determined to engage in the venture capital industry, it must establish a separate venture capital company instead of setting up a nondescript venture capital department. Moreover, personnel are still deployed from within, so it looks like a game of ticketing in any way.”

"It makes sense." Cao Lei said thoughtfully.

There are indeed many similarities between finance and venture capital, but they are two fields after all. To put it bluntly, to do finance is to invest money in it and it’s over. It can’t control the direction of the company even if it touches it.

And venture capital is to participate in the development and operation of the company, and even the personnel are not professional enough, so I am afraid that the money invested will be in vain?What future can such a department have?
