The next morning, Chen Zhihua came to the company. This would be a new beginning. He was about to start his own work at Chiki.

Yesterday, after reading Qiji's annual report for a day, investment projects in recent years, Chen Zhihua no longer thought Qiji was just an investment company like outsiders, but had a relatively comprehensive understanding. In fact, Qiji's business covers almost all industries in the investment field, and can be regarded as a fund-type investment bank. He not only owns five hedge funds, focusing on relatively large-scale project investment, but also has a small number of small funds that appear as angel investors. Not only that, for retail investors, Qiji also has a huge business team that uses various financial derivatives and leveraged financing to engage in all-round financial operations.

In investment banks, Ziji's business is relatively single. It almost freezes all investment projects in high-risk investments such as fund management, securities, foreign exchange and futures. Instead, it seems very weak in real estate, project financing, corporate mergers and acquisitions, financial advisors, etc. High risks will certainly bring high profits, but at the same time it will also make Ziji's foundation not stable enough. Once there are adverse fluctuations in the world economy, Ziji may suffer heavy damage.

Therefore, Qi Ji's reform in the investment direction is imperative. Perhaps it is because Li Xiaosheng saw this from this copper futures failure that he said something to Chen Zhihua like to make a change in the investment department. At the same time, he did not directly point out the shortcomings of the investment department he saw. It is obviously that he wanted to test Chen Zhihua's ability through this.

Chen Zhihua had a general idea, but because he was not very clear about Qi Ji's operation and had no understanding of personnel and affairs, he was ready to make himself do a certain amount of work in these aspects before he began to solve these problems.

When Chen Zhihua came to the company on time, he saw Anna waiting for him in front of the office door. He looked at Anna and saw that she was wearing a dark blue suit today and also wearing the glasses of yesterday. These outfits made this beautiful female secretary look very pleasing to the eye.

"Anna, you're early!" Chen Zhihua greeted Anna with a smile, and then walked into his office.

As soon as he walked into the office, Chen Zhihua discovered a different place than yesterday. A bouquet of new flowers had been replaced in the vase of the office, including roses, lilies, and gladiolus. It was blooming in colorful colors and exuding a strong fragrance, which made the entire office look full of vitality. Chen Zhihua looked around again and saw that when she left yesterday, she did not do her job completely. At this time, everything had returned to her position in an orderly manner. Obviously, before she came, Anna had already done a lot of preparations.

"Anna, thank you, this flower really makes people feel happy!" Although Chen Zhihua didn't look at Anna and only said this in a very ordinary tone, the small movement he walked to the flower and made a gesture and sniffed it made Anna, who was following him, show a hint of pride in her eyes. However, this rare humanization flashed and flew on the face of the beautiful secretary, and she returned to normal again.

Anna waited for Chen Zhihua to sit down, and after thinking about it, she began to report today's work arrangements like Chen Zhihua: "Starting nine and a half days every day, every department of our company has a morning meeting, and then it's ten o'clock..."

In terms of organizational form, there are two general forms of investment banks. The first is the shareholding system and the other is the partnership system. Most of the international super-large investment banks adopt the shareholding system, that is, the organizational form of joint-stock companies. However, since the partnership system is a relatively early form, even today, the partnership system still exists as a transitional form, just like Qiji. Although the entire group company was founded by Li Xiaosheng, at the beginning of its establishment, Li Xiaosheng also had another partner, and the two of them together owned more than 50% of the shares of Qiji Group.

For managers in various departments, they usually only own 3% to 5% of their shares, among which Charlie, the manager of the business department, is an exception, owns 8% of their shares, so Chen Zhihua's value is already very high in the entire company.

In these large companies, everything is managed very formally and the schedule is very formal. After reporting to Chen Zhihua, Anna gently put her glasses on her hands, looked up at Chen Zhihua and asked, "Mr. Chen, are you going to arrange something else today?"

Chen Zhihua thought for a while and said, "Actually, today I mainly want to hold a meeting with all my colleagues in our investment department. Since we already have this morning meeting, there is no need! Well, if possible, I will arrange a few other colleagues to come in and chat. Please arrange the time for me!"

Regarding Chen Zhihua's arrangement, Anna immediately looked down at the schedule for today's day. After a while, she said: "Mr. Chen, the time has been roughly arranged, at half past ten:30..."

After listening to Anna's arrangement, Chen Zhihua felt very satisfied, especially with Anna, a capable secretary. Anna's people are not only beautiful, but also very capable. In addition to always keeping a distance when dealing with herself, everything can be described as excellent. With her helping her by my side, I believe that I will definitely be much easier in my future work.

Chen Zhihua looked at his watch. It was ten minutes after nine o'clock. In order to leave a good impression on his colleagues in the investment department in the future at the first morning meeting, he took Anna into the conference room in advance and waited for the morning meeting to begin.

While looking at the information of the investment department, Chen Zhihua carefully remembered the resumes and appearances of these people so that he could combine them in the information with them in reality in a very short time.

After a while, Zong Zhongwen first came to the conference room. It seemed that Zong Zhongwen was also a very punctual person. This was the first good impression he left on Chen Zhihua so far.

When Zong Zhongwen saw Chen Zhihua, he was slightly stunned. Then he nodded to Chen Zhihua quickly, sat down silently in his position, and then looked through the information in his hand... Chen Zhihua secretly paid attention to the things Zong Zhongwen looked at, mostly financial statements, etc. Chen Zhihua thought about it for a moment and had begun to understand the working methods of Zong Zhongwen. It seems that Zong Zhongwen is a very practical person and has the habit of summarizing the achievements of the previous stage of work at the morning meeting.

Soon, the staff of the investment department came to the conference room one after another. Chen Zhihua would look up at those people from time to time. While secretly comparing them with the information in his heart, he also showed a kind smile as a greeting.

Most of the people in the investment department had already met Chen Zhihua on the first day of Chen Zhihua's arrival. At this time, when they saw his smile, they called "Mr. Chen" and sat in their seats.

More than 40 people from the Investment Department came one after another. Zong Zhongwen started to speak. He first talked about several investment projects in recent times, and then talked about the returns obtained by these investments, including the unpleasant investment of copper futures failure. During the speech, Zong Zhongwen spoke frankly about his mistakes in analyzing decision-making, and then summarized a few lessons from this failure, with a very sincere and open-minded attitude.

Listening to Zong Zhongwen's speech, Chen Zhihua developed a second good impression of Zong Zhongwen. In his opinion, Zong Zhongwen is still a person who is used for self-criticism and takes responsibility. He also knows how to reflect on the mistakes he has made and summarizes his experience in the mistakes. This is very, very important for senior managers of a modern enterprise.

Zong Zhongwen said what he wanted to say in a simple manner. She glanced at Chen Zhihua, who had been listening quietly with a smile on his face, and said, "Next, I'll ask Mr. Chen, who is the newly appointed... to say a few words to everyone."

In fact, Chen Zhihua's position in the investment department is a bit embarrassing. Now everyone in the company can see that Li Xiaosheng distrusts Zong Chinese, and Chen Zhihua's arrival makes people feel very sensitive that Li Xiaosheng seems to want to use Chen Zhihua to replace Zong Chinese. It is like under the manager of Zong Chinese, a strong person suddenly appeared under the department manager of Zong Chinese, which was a very strange way of calling him. At the same time, this character does not have a proper identity in name, so when employees call Chen Zhihua, they can only refer to "Mr. Chen", which can be regarded as a very strange way of calling him.

Chen Zhihua didn't care about these things. He stood up and glanced at the audience. After thinking about it, he said, "I believe everyone knows it. My name is Chen Zhihua. I have just joined Qiji Group. I have only been to the investment department for a few days. I am not very familiar with the business and work processes here. So in the days ahead, everyone needs to give more tips." After a pause, Chen Zhihua continued, "Because I am not familiar with the investment department, I won't say anything else. However, there is something that touched me deeply at the meeting today, so I want to take this opportunity to say a few words, that is, Manager Zong mentioned the recent mistakes in our investment department in copper futures project..."

In fact, most of the people in the investment department read financial news. It is well known that Chen Zhihua supports the rise of copper in the program "Directing Stones and Gold". Even those who are aware of it will learn about this from others after they know that Chen Zhihua comes to Qiji Investment Department. At this time, they heard Chen Zhihua suddenly mention copper in the news, and couldn't help but think that this might be Chen Zhihua's plan to take advantage of the copper in the matter, praise him, and take the opportunity to improve his prestige, who is a newcomer. Therefore, although everyone's expressions remain unchanged, they felt a little contempt for Chen Zhihua.

Among all of the people here, especially Zhizun Chinese, his face became the most ugly. If Chen Zhihua used this matter to give him a warning, it would really embarrass him at the morning meeting.

Chen Zhihua noticed everyone's reaction. He paused just right before continuing: "Whoever is wrong, a temporary loss is inevitable. Although there was a mistake in the decision-making of copper futures this time, the most important thing is to summarize the lessons in the mistakes. So I really appreciate and admire the summary made by Manager Zong in his speech just now. Well, that's all I have to say, thank you!"

After Chen Zhihua sat down, everyone had not come to their senses. They did not expect Chen Zhihua to say this at all. This is not only not a destruction of the Chinese language, but also a complimentary Chinese language. This makes those who were still speculating on how long Chen Zhihua will take over as the manager of the Chinese language department feel that they cannot see the situation in front of them.

Zong Zhongwen also rarely showed a hint of gratitude to Chen Zhihua. His hostility towards Chen Zhihua had dissipated a lot before, but he did not completely put down all his wariness because of Chen Zhihua's words and came to his senses slightly. Zong Zhongwen first clapped for Chen Zhihua, and then the others in the conference room also began to clapped for Chen Zhihua...

After the meeting, Zong Zhongwen and Chen Zhihua walked at the end. After everyone left, Zong Zhongwen said to Chen Zhihua: "Mr. Chen, today... thank you really... today!"

Chen Zhihua shook his head and said, "I just said the truth today. Manager Zong, the way you do things is really worth learning from. I hope I can work with you in the future."

Hearing Chen Zhihua's sincere words, Zong Zhongwen nodded and left the conference room without saying a word.

Chen Zhihua looked at Zong Zhongwen's back and knew in his heart that he had finally taken a very important first step to resolve his tension with him. Moreover, after these contacts, Chen Zhihua gradually began to have a general understanding of Zong Zhongwen's character. Zong Zhongwen is a taciturn but very effective person. Judging from his performance towards himself in the past two days, his only disadvantage is that his ability is relatively narrow, so he has always had a great degree of hostility towards himself after learning about his arrival.

However, this kind of hostility is inevitable. I don’t know whether Li Xiaosheng intentionally or unintentionally placed Chen Zhihua in such an awkward position. This will make the two of them in a confrontation. It is precisely because of seeing this point clearly that Chen Zhihua took the initiative to "reconciliation" today to deal with the relationship with Zong Zhongwen. This step seems to be the right thing. Not only did he welcome the favor of everyone in the Investment Department, but also made Zong Zhongwen and him ease to a certain extent, and everything met Chen Zhihua’s previous expectations.

"Mr. Chen, should we go back to the office?"

Just as Chen Zhihua was still thinking, Anna, who had been silently watching him for a long time, carefully reminded him, which made Chen Zhihua come back to his senses from his thoughts.

Chen Zhihua thought about it. After the morning meeting just now, he had already remembered most of the people in the Investment Department. Next, his work should turn to talking to them individually, and understand the characteristics and advantages and disadvantages of each person, and understand the stage of the operation of the Investment Department through the conversation.

"Anna, please help me invite those investment consultants to my office first. I want to have a good chat with them."

"OK……"

Throughout the whole day, Chen Zhihua invested in the "work" of talking to the investment department employees. Although he spent a whole day on this job, the time would always pass very quickly during chatting, so Chen Zhihua only talked to about three groups of about ten people, and he would put more people in the following days until he met everyone, talked with everyone and established a certain interaction.

Although Chen Zhihua's work was very time-consuming, the benefits obtained were obvious. First, he had a mutual understanding with these subordinates from this close conversation, second, he learned about the general operating status of the investment department from their mouths, third, his private prestige was also slowly established, because in the conversation with Chen Zhihua, his professional knowledge was enough to impress any of the most senior investment consultants of Ziji. Of course, this was only for paper talk.

In a large company like Chicky, Chen Zhihua learned something that he could not learn before. Perhaps this is what he always wanted to gain practical experience. In the investment department, most of the people here are people of a certain professional level. The reason why Chicky became the four major investment banks in Hong Kong is to see that just by looking at the full range of talents in the investment department.

This kind of workload every day is incomparable to the idle life in a small company like Yuanling, but in comparison, Chen Zhihua prefers this way of work. He feels that he can find a sense of pleasure that belongs to him at work, which makes him very satisfied.

After a few days of hard work, it was the weekend again before he knew it. After remembering the date with Chen Wenqiang, Chen Zhihua took Li Wenwen happily to the appointment.

Chen Wenqiang met him in a golf course, and Chen Zhihua was a good player in golf. When he was studying social science with Zhang Li, he needed to be exposed to various aristocratic sports, including tennis, billiards, cricket, horse racing, etc. Chen Zhihua had a special liking for golf, especially because of his precise judgment and analysis, which made him particularly accurate when playing. Because he was good at it, he loved it even more. In the past, Zhang Li could not help but praise him when he looked at Chen Zhihua's putting skills out of his blue, and he might even be able to praise him, saying that if he devoted himself to golf, he might be able to become the top player.

Huang Yi is my favorite writer. I will not deny it because he said he was borrowing from the character settings, but if he said he was plagiarized, then please report me and don’t complain here (there is absolutely no sentence in my article. It is simply an insult to my hard work. I believe readers who really like to rob will understand!).
