Fake Husband of the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 40 - 0: Strict rules

Tianfeng Private Equity Fund Company.

Before 8 a.m.

Seasoned employees were training their assigned new colleagues on the employee code of conduct.

What set Tianfeng apart from other private equity funds was that its rules were much stricter.

In the projects personally overseen by Director Gu, no staff members were allowed to wear any electronic items, including mobile phones.

Eleven experienced employees, each leading a new employee, entered a temporarily rented office area on the second floor.

During this time, no one was allowed to come and go as they pleased.

"Team Leader Wang, does Director Gu’s operation really need to be this strict?" asked the new recruits, who were fortunate to follow their team leader in this company operation, as they surrendered their phones and electronic devices, filled with curiosity.

Team Leader Wang was one of the veteran employees.

As he confiscated the devices from his subordinates, he said, "Don’t ask too many questions. After this is successful, I will give you a bonus of 1% of your profit share."

"Remember, you are someone I have high hopes for and am willing to mentor personally. Don’t let me down."

Team Leader Wang looked at the new employee and warned him, "The company’s policy is, if there’s an inside threat detected in someone’s team, the team leader will be held accountable as well!"

The new employee, named Gao Che, nodded after receiving his boss’s instructions, "Don’t worry, team leader."

Team Leader Wang patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you want to achieve financial freedom and reach the pinnacle of life, then stay in the company and follow the rules. Don’t break the regulations set by the chairman!"

In the office area, other team leaders were also cautioning their new recruits about some rules.

Everyone was particularly careful.

There was no choice, they had just benefited from Director Gu’s deal, and the taste of success still lingered.

This time, they had invested even more capital, and no one wanted unexpected complications.

Above all, they did not want to lose their job because of their subordinates.

"Is the check complete?" Li Ming asked, standing at the entranceway, accompanied by a few security guards and office assistant trainees.

They didn’t participate but were responsible for inspection.

After each team leader had conducted a check, they would perform another one.

The number of team members involved this time was kept to 22.

Each of the eleven team leaders led one new recruit in stock trading operations on the computers.

The other new employees, who were left sitting at their desks watching their colleagues being checked before being taken away, were utterly baffled.

Is this level of caution really necessary?

Is this company always so conscientious?

Gu Feng actually had no other choice.

To ensure the balance and smooth conduct of the operation, he had to do this.

Think about it, if employees knew that the stocks you bought were guaranteed to rise, or if those external capital clients were watching you, and they managed to bribe someone inside the company to reveal the stock codes every time the company made a purchase...

The ensuing frantic following by large sums could spook the big players and main forces, and if the main forces suddenly stopped increasing the price and sold off instead...

You would be forced to cut your losses to come out.

Don’t doubt that employees might do this.

Employees held, at most, a few million in their hands. If someone was greedy enough and joined forces with external capital worth several hundred million, even if they were only offered a 10% share, it would still be a substantial extra income!

"All checks are in order, let’s go with me," he said.

Li Ming led the 22 employees, both new and seasoned, to take the elevator upstairs in two groups.

Before everyone settled into their assigned computer stations, Li Ming still felt compelled to say something, "Remember, during the operation, don’t ask questions. Just do as you’re instructed, and if anyone doesn’t follow orders clearly, even if you overbuy a single share, you’ll be fined 10,000 yuan, with no ceiling."

The new employees’ eyes widened in shock.

Damn it.

They were still on probation, with a base salary of 10,000 yuan a month. What if they made a typing error? Wouldn’t they be fined to death?

"Understood!" the seasoned employees replied in unison, taking the lead.

Li Ming: "Good, now, to your stations. Remember your team numbers, from 1 to 11. I won’t call you by your names in the future; I will only instruct you using your team numbers. So, keep your spirits up and don’t forget that you’re also working to earn money for yourselves!"

As the managing director, Li Ming didn’t forget to motivate them with a promise, "We’ll work hard for a few days, and like I said before, when this is over, I’ll take you to the best club in Jiangcheng. I bet you’d also like to upgrade your cars, wouldn’t you?"

A few of the seasoned employees couldn’t hide the smiles tugging at their lips.

Yes, some of them didn’t even own a car and had to squeeze into the subway.

Others were driving Volkswagens valued at around 100,000 yuan or so.

And those were second-hand.

This time, they had each invested at least 3 million yuan. They weren’t asking for much; even if the returns were only 50% after several days of hard work, they would still profit.

Because out of those 3 million yuan, 2 million from client funds, most of them promised a 30% return to the investors, they could still earn a 20% return on the client’s investment themselves.

Plus, there was a 2% commission!

Li Ming looked at the time set by Gu Feng; seeing that it was almost time, he picked up the headset he was wearing and said, "Director Gu, we are ready."

In another office belonging to Gu Feng, he was observing stock market software information, beginning to transmit to Li Ming the codes of 30 stocks they were preparing to buy.

The 500 million yuan in capital had to be split up and used to purchase stocks, keeping the investment in each below ten million yuan.

This way, it wouldn’t attract the attention of any major players or market-controlling entities.

Gu Feng needed to be at the computer to immediately simulate and predict emergencies that might arise with any given stock.

If an employee really did make outside contact and followed the trades, it would cause significant fluctuations in that stock, and he would be able to act immediately to sell off and catch the mole!

Why spread the responsibility across 11 groups with different stock codes?

It was to catch the mole more easily!

The stock purchased by your group 1 would remain unknown to the other ten groups.

If there was any substantial capital following in group 1’s stock causing unusual activity, Gu Feng would be able to issue immediate withdrawal instructions and catch the mole in your group directly!

New or seasoned, no one would be spared; there would be no mercy shown!

Gu Feng issued an order to Li Ming, "Start following my instructions."
