Chapter 5 One must be upright in doing things

(Bow thanks to "Sad Wanzhi", "Feng Shen Yu Shao" and "Personal Brother" for their monthly ticket support!)

Zhou Ming took Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning back to the study room of his room. Since Zhou Ming had more time outside, his study room was much empty compared to other students, so Zhou Ming's study room was often used as a small conference room. This time, Zhou Ming needed to hold a small meeting here with three class leaders in the financial class and the main person in charge of Wharton.

After entering the study, Zhou Ming first asked Ye Ning to briefly tell Chen Shu and Li Yang about the situation on Omar. Chen Shu and Li Yang frowned after hearing this.

"How could this happen? We pay to fund him to run the election. Not only can we complete all the campaign work for him, but we even promise to pay him a salary. This is already very generous treatment. Otherwise, other candidates must pay for themselves and complete all the campaign work by themselves. What else is he not satisfied with?" Li Yang was the first to express his opinion.

Chen Shuze shook his head and said, "I don't think things will be that simple. Li Yang, you forgot what Ye Ning said. Omar said that he hates the government and all administrative agencies very much. This means that he is his disgusted with politics, not his dissatisfaction with the conditions we offer."

"The teacher and I have the same idea, too," said Ye Ning. "But if Omar really hates politics, it will be difficult for us to convince him to join the election."

Chen Shu nodded and said, "I agree very much. This is very headache because if it is due to conditions, we can sit down and talk, but he is disgusted with politics. It will be difficult for us to convince him to participate in the election, unless we have a way to reverse his thinking, but how is this possible?"

As they said that, the three of them subconsciously looked at Zhou Ming, but when they saw Zhou Ming's eyes, they suddenly remembered that they had just promised to find a way and no longer rely on Zhou Ming, so they immediately turned their heads.

"It's not impossible," Li Yang continued Chen Shu's topic just now, "Because it's like a love novel, there is no love for no reason and no hatred for no reason. From a psychological point of view, every behavior has its own causes. We only need to know why Omar hates politics and is better to prescribe the right medicine."

"That's right, but it may be difficult to find the root cause. After all, none of us knows him, let alone know anything. It's not impossible to find the reason from his past life, but it takes a lot of time, but we don't have that much time now." Ye Ning said.

Ye Ning's words made the atmosphere silent. After a while, Li Yang said: "Or we can skip the investigation process and directly prescribe the right medicine."

Chen Shu and Ye Ning raised their eyebrows as they listened to Li Yang's words, and Chen Shu asked tentatively: "Li Yang, what you mean is that we can find a way to make him suffer some losses once and let him understand the importance of power, and he will come to us, right?"

Li Yang nodded and said, "There is only this method now. If you have to apply severe medicine for emergency treatment, otherwise we will investigate his past till we have a hard time investigating his past. The election time has long passed. The US parliament will not specifically extend the election time for us, and the president will not be treated as such. And as long as we are cautious, I don't think he will find out."

"This is a solution." Ye Ning echoed, "and the power incidents against him are not difficult to deal with. He is a black man, and black man is discriminated against here. Many abuse incidents in the police station or other places will not be different because he is a student at Harvard Law School. So we may just need to call the police or create some conflicts to make him understand the importance of power."

"And there is another point," Li Yang added, "Ye Ning just said that he is a single-parent family, so whether a single-parent family or a black person is both very fatal. I think he must have suffered a lot of discrimination during his growth. Maybe he will not be able to bear it if he is just a little bit of it."

Chen Shu listened to Li Yang and Ye Ning's words and pondered for a while before saying: "If you can only do this, then I think it's better to do it as hard as possible, because ordinary small losses will not make him very determined. Only when he really suffers a big loss that will last a lifetime will he be determined to change."

Facing Chen Shu's final statement, Li Yang smiled: "I used to think the squad leader was very kind, but I didn't expect that the squad leader would be even more cruel than us! So I want to do that, right?"

Just when Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning unified their opinions, Zhou Ming suddenly said: "I object to your ideas."

Zhou Ming's words were astonishing, which made Ye Ning and the other two stunned at that time. They looked at Zhou Ming in a daze, completely unaware of why Zhou Ming suddenly said this.

"By the blow to Omar, he understood the importance of power and instead let him participate in the election spontaneously. This method itself is fine. I also think that if you do it well, there will be a high chance of success. But have you ever thought about a question, which is what to do if he finds out afterwards? Should you continue to use lies to make up for your expectations and be able to hide the truth, or wait for a break and create a campaign scandal?"

Zhou Ming continued: "Don't think this is impossible, as the old saying goes, if you don't know others, unless you don't do it yourself, since we have done it, no matter how good and thorough we have done it, we still have to face this problem."

Neither Chen Shu Li Yang nor Ye Ning could give an answer to the question that Zhou Ming suddenly raised, but Zhou Ming did not need their answer, because Zhou Ming immediately continued: "The best way is not to do this. Whether in business or politics, one must be upright in life and work. Only voluntary cooperation is reliable. If it is involuntary, then no matter whether your original intention is for him or something else, there will be no good results in the end."

"But that Omar is very disgusted with politics. If we don't use any means, it will be difficult for him to convince him to run for us." Ye Ning tried to explain.

However, Zhou Ming still disagrees: "But this is not the reason for us to use this method. Perhaps some means can better achieve our goal, but it is not the right way. Although Omarta hates politics, it may be difficult for us to convince him, which does not mean that we really have no chance. On the contrary, if we use means and are known by him, then the situation will be without any room for maneuver."

At this point, Zhou Ming paused for a moment before continuing: "There is another thing that is most important. Why do you always think about convincing Omar? I just said that Omar is the person I find the most suitable candidate for. I have never said that he must be elected as a candidate. If he does not agree, we can participate in the election as a candidate. Will we definitely be worse than that black man?"

"Of course not," Li Yang replied subconsciously, "Teacher, let's try to invite him again. If he really doesn't want to, don't force him. As a candidate, I can still participate in the election. I am very confident!"

"And it is always more comfortable to use money on one's own people than outsiders," Ye Ning also said.

Zhou Ming smiled: "That's right. As a student in my finance class, I should have such spirit!"

After praising Li Yang, Zhou Ming then changed the topic: "Our most important task now is to run because the time is right, but at the same time we cannot forget the business of Wharton Insurance Company. Although the company already has hundreds of millions of dollars in funds on the books, more than half of them are the insurance amounts of each policyholder, and they need to be returned to the policyholder after the contract expires. In addition, there are a lot of claims work, which has already begun."

"It is precisely for these reasons that the most important job of our Wharton company must be investment, and continuous investment creates profits to ensure the company's continuous development. Otherwise, we will become a Ponzi scheme-like financial fraud."

Zhou Ming said as he looked around Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning and then said, "So how is the company's profit growth now?"

Although Zhou Ming looked at the three people and asked, in fact, what Zhou Ming had to ask was Ye Ning, because he and several other girls were responsible for counting the work in this regard.

Ye Ning did not disappoint Zhou Ming, and immediately replied: "Teacher, as of the end of statistics last night, from the previous week to this week, the company's investment has increased by 1.5%, which is two million US dollars. After deducting the company's normal operation funds, commissions and other expenses, the company's total net income is one million US dollars."

"Is there a revenue of less than one million US dollars? This revenue may be a lot in other companies, but for a financial investment company, it is still a little too low. Is there any investment in the middle that has suffered losses?" Zhou Ming asked.

Faced with Zhou Ming's problem, Chen Shu, Li Yang and Ye Ning looked at each other, and finally Chen Shu reported to Zhou Ming: "Teacher is our investment model and has suffered losses."

Zhou Ming said in surprise, but he did not rush to say anything, but gave a gesture to continue speaking.

"The teacher is like this. We have a venture capital model based on the company's stocks and bonds. We have selected hundreds of stocks that performed very well in the stock market and have a very profound background. However, last week, the middle one hundred stocks in different industries fell at the same time, and the highest decline had exceeded five percentage points, and the loss was more than six million US dollars." Chen Shu said.

Zhou Ming frowned: "The investment model has suffered such a huge loss? Didn't there be any abnormalities in the market before?"

Chen Shu shook his head and said, "No, these stocks performed very strongly in the market before, and the historical situation was very good, so we chose them. We don't understand why this time it happened. However, Li Yang and I have started tracking and repairing the model based on this situation. We temporarily eliminated the poorly performed stocks, and at the same time selected many high-quality stocks that performed well during this period, and have minimized the losses as much as possible."

After saying that, Chen Shu thought for a while and added: "Teacher, Li Yang and I were originally planning to wait until the situation stabilized this time before we could report to you."

Zhou Ming nodded and said, "That's fine. Maybe this time is just an accident. I have said that you can handle some small problems yourself and don't need to report them to me. But there is one thing I need to remind you that I have no objection to the repair of the investment model. I just hope you can be more cautious. If you just replace a few of the poorly performed stocks, it's fine, but if there are too many, it means that our original design ideas were problematic. The best way is to redesign one. Do you know?"

Chen Shu nodded and said firmly: "Teacher, please rest assured, we will be cautious!"
