The Millennium Semiconductor Survival Guide.

Chapter 49 First Lesson in Investing

The thing about recruiting people is definitely not that the stronger the ability, the better, but the more suitable for you, the better.

This is Zhou Xin's deepest experience in recruiting people from scratch.

Generally speaking, the more capable a person is, the more ideas he has. When he works with you, when his improvement speed is greater than the development space that the company can provide him, he will have the idea of ​​changing jobs or doing it himself.

In Huaguo, which started the rapid development of chip pigs in 2018, there are very few people with strong academic backgrounds who jump every year.

But the semiconductor industry also pays attention to stability. You are only familiar with the machine, and then you have to change jobs. I have to recruit people again to get familiar with the machine and production.

Zhou Xin has suffered from this before.

There are several reasons why he thinks Wu Shiqiang is easy.

First of all, when Wu Shiqiang faced his needs, there were many small remittances, and he did not refuse when he needed the bank to provide his mobile phone number and postscript.

Wu Shiqiang has no resistance to new things, he will first understand and then have a mentality of trying.

This is very important for investing in Internet start-ups in Huaguo. Although Zhou Xin knows the investment target very well, the person responsible for the specific implementation also needs to have a proactive attitude.

The second is that Wu Shiqiang can stay in the Los Angeles branch for five or six years without moving. Patience is equally important.

These two characteristics are enough to be an investment manager.

"Mr. Zhou, I am very grateful to you for giving me this opportunity, and I am willing to work for you, but I am curious, why did you choose me?"

With Zhou Xin's rapid rise, he is now the second most famous Chinese in the Los Angeles Bay Area after Jerry Yang.

Since Huaguo Bank's Los Angeles branch has business dealings with Zhou Xin, Wu Shiqiang once helped him handle the business in person.

Therefore, Wu Shiqiang has a more intuitive understanding of Zhou Xin's rise and wealth.

Zhou Xin stayed in Hua Guo Bank's Los Angeles branch account, and there is still a steady stream of dollars coming in to this day.

Angel investment is obviously much more interesting and promising than being the person in charge in the lobby.

You wrote a line on your resume, from 1999 to ****, you worked in the Sales Department of Hua Guo Bank Los Angeles Branch.

Or write an article about leading the establishment of an angel investment institution from 1999 to ****, how many investments have been participated in, how many billions of RMB have been invested in total, and what is the return on investment.

Obviously, the latter resume is more helpful to the later career.

Wu Shiqiang also knows his own background, and it is already the limit to get him to this position.

To climb further, he neither possesses this ability, nor does he have the corresponding connections.

To be able to work for Zhou Xin, but not as a senior manager, is a rare opportunity.

But the more so, Wu Shiqiang felt that it was necessary to ask some questions clearly beforehand.

"Because I think you have a good nose for the internet.

I went all over the bank branches in Los Angeles, only you are willing to do this business.

Only you realize that our business is valuable. "

Zhou Xin said seriously.

He really thought so too.

Compared with the job market in Huaguo, the job market in American does not place so much emphasis on academic qualifications.

The job market in Huaguo has almost drawn out all the rules and regulations. If you graduate from a school of any grade, you can enter a company of the corresponding grade.

Qingbei goes to the headquarters, 985211 goes to the provincial branch, one goes to the city branch, and the other goes to the county branch.

The state-owned big banks are like this, and so are other companies.

But in foreign countries, luck factors are often more important than academic qualifications.

Whether in the past or now, Zhou Xin has heard many similar cases in American.

His choice of Wu Shiqiang also has this consideration in it.

"It's just because I think we are both Chinese, and you looked like a dusty face at that time. I thought that everyone is a compatriot, and I can help if I can.

It is not aware of the value of the business itself.

To be honest, what I thought at the time was that it would be nice if your game sold a thousand copies.

As a result, your sales have now exceeded 200 million. "Wu Shiqiang is very frank.

Zhou Xin nodded and said, "Empathy is also a kind of ability.

It does not matter.

Since I will call you to meet me today, it means that you are the best candidate in my mind.

Purely in terms of ability, this matter is not particularly difficult.

Because the final decision on investment is in my hands, not in yours.

You just need to follow my instructions, select the companies that you think are promising, and send them to me.

I will tell you the companies that I think can be invested, and then you can negotiate with them and strive for conditions that are beneficial to me as much as possible.

But in the end it's up to me to vote or not. "

Wu Shiqiang understood instantly, it was equivalent to being a researcher.

The risk is entirely borne by Zhou Xin.

Investment failure is not terrible, what is terrible is that you will be laid off after investment failure, and you will only have failure experience on your resume.

As an investor, if your resume only has a failure experience, then no matter how capable you are, it will be difficult to find someone willing to use you.

The financial circle is more superstitious than the entertainment circle.

"Then I understand. In fact, after you and I had a preliminary chat about this matter on the phone, I had preliminary thoughts.

When you go back to invest, you should look for companies listed on NASDAQ, and then look for their benchmark companies in China.

The models of these companies have been tested in American and can be successful.

Then I find a similar company to invest in, and the probability of success is guaranteed. "

Wu Shiqiang paused for a moment and continued, "It's not entirely true.

Like Amazon, Huaguo's infrastructure construction and logistics system are not well established. To succeed in this kind of business in Huaguo, the only thing is to wait.

Wait for the relative perfection of the infrastructure.

If we invest in similar companies prematurely, there will be a very long waiting cost.

And when the time is right, it may not mean that the companies we invest in will succeed.

However, companies that rely entirely on online models, such as online forums and portal websites, have a relatively higher probability of success.

Nasdaq also has a higher degree of recognition for such companies. "

Zhou Xin nodded and said: "You are right, but have you ever considered a question.

That is, there are many investment institutions that can realize this.

Like the more famous IDG.

There are also some other American capital, such as American Investment Institution, which invested US$650 million in Sina the year before last, and invested in Yinghaiwei's state-owned capital.

From international capital to state-owned capital, everyone wants to invest in the portal website. Why do they choose us?

Sometimes the investment opportunities that are exposed outside mean that you have to face many competitors.

Digging for hidden treasures beneath the surface of the water is the first lesson for investors. "
