Four seasons, four directions, four auspiciousnesses, and four dunes, in Chinese culture, often mean stability, or a cycle. Looking back, it has been exactly four years and four months since I came to our Hongmiaozi Street Department. From a work perspective, it is okay to be stable. Whether it is a cycle change is a topic for the future.
In these four years, in terms of age, I have crossed the unwritten threshold of "35 years old", and I have been moving towards the future; in terms of position, I have gone from the headquarters of a securities company to the grassroots level, I transformed from a functional employee to a business employee, extending from managing myself to managing the team; in the family, I "upgraded" from a bachelor to a dad.
In these four years, I have an elder brother who is honest, generous, hard-working and can be called a role model. He is also my closest "comrade-in-arms" in the workplace; I have met dozens of young people. Young friends who are full of personality and full of personality; I also met hundreds of lovely and loyal customers and friends, and gained a lot of touching and warmth.
Do you think these four years are important?
It is true that life is composed of dozens of "four years", and each four years is equally important. If life is a cocktail of bitterness and joy, a symphony that is sometimes melodious and sometimes passionate, then four years is no more than a sip of wine and a note. Whether we are concerned or proud, regretful or fearless, They are all indelible marks in their respective lives.
Each mark is engraved with the unique content brought to us by different times and spaces. During the four years I have been at Hongmiaozi, "family business sentiment" has been one of the brightest elements for me.
"Cultivation of one's moral character, orderliness of one's family, governance of the country, and peace of the world." Everyone has heard of "patriotic feelings", which is a person's deep love for his country and people, his ideal pursuit of the country's prosperity and people's happiness, and a high sense of identification with his country. and a sense of belonging, responsibility and purpose. Throughout the ages, this noble sentiment has greatly boosted morale, gathered strength and inspired spirits, benefiting both the country and the people as well as others and ourselves.
But for us ordinary people, the "country" is certainly big, but in daily life, especially in the contemporary economic and social context, enterprises are more directly and closely connected with everyone. We either work Either rely on enterprises or seek needs from enterprises. As the links in the country that closely connect people to each other, enterprises play an indispensable role. So, how we view our work and how we deal with the relationship between work and family involves the "family-business sentiment", or it tests our attitude choices.
When you first come to Hongmiaozi Street Department, you must be like most newcomers, full of curiosity, excitement, longing, and determination, experiencing a different corporate culture, working environment, workplace atmosphere, and getting to know and interact with new people. Colleagues, this is a necessary process. Some people adapt quickly, while others take it slow. It has something to do with their personality and specific conditions.
Due to my eight years of experience in a securities firm and my job responsibilities, I didn’t have much time to adapt. I had to understand the department as soon as possible and devote myself fully to my job role. With the support of the general manager and everyone, fortunately everything went smoothly, although I later learned that there were some twists and turns, which were also reasonable ripples. I always believe that, just like when dealing with clients, honesty is my credo and can warm each other's hearts.
Of course, there is a gap between wanting to do things and doing them well. The previous eight years of work experience were mostly limited to functional work. Now I will start the management and business development path in Hongmiaozi Street Department, which requires continuous exploration of experience and knowledge learning. During the four years in charge of wealth management, I have constantly learned from the company, leaders and colleagues around me. I deeply feel that my two-year research experience at the Securities Research Institute, which seemed to be deserted, now plays a key role. This further proves that there is no right or wrong in every step of life, and its meaning will be revealed in different ways one day in the future, regardless of pros and cons.
At the same time, business and performance appraisals also prompted me to go out and contact more potential customers. To be honest, I am a quiet and reserved person. If not necessary, I prefer to be alone and reflect on myself. But it’s no longer possible. I shoulder the important task of opening up the world for Hongmiaozi Street Department. I have to be responsible for the company, the team and my own salary. Although the basic principles of life are constant, part of the style of doing things must be changed.
As a result, I have gained hundreds of loyal "fans" from all over the world, and greatly expanded my life experience. This is reflected in my performance by "rebuilding a red temple" with everyone, and by walking in the path of wealth transformation in recent years. road.
It sounds boring, but in fact it brings tears to my eyes. In the past four years, my friends from Hongmiaozi and I have experienced many happy and difficult times together. Some of them are vivid in my mind, and some may seem inconspicuous, but they always occupy a place in my mind.
Have you ever remembered the grand occasion when the Hongmiaozi Street Department held its first large-scale investment report meeting? Have you ever remembered that all the staff stayed up late and worked hard during the account self-examination and rectification period? Have you ever remembered that Guan Maoshan On the way, my friends came over and pulled me up as I could no longer climb; did you remember that the Spring Festival group gathering in the karaoke hall was cramped and warm; did you remember the pride I felt when I stood on the podium of the company on behalf of the Hongmiaozi Street Department? ;Have you ever remembered the embarrassment and joy of sending some drunken guys home on a snowy night after a passionate celebration...
Family and business are inseparable. These four years have been the time for my family to have children and thrive, and it has also brought a more mature color to the family. As the ancients said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too." Being busy at work will indeed delay some family reunions and entertainment, but overall, the company and the Hongmiaozi Street Department have given me the greatest tolerance and freedom, allowing me to be able to Find the balance you value between family and work.
Take the previously mentioned incident of sending the young man home after the Spring Festival group visit, which is still fresh in my memory. Everyone was having a great time that day. The handsome young man who had been working for a few months went out looking for drinks and accidentally got himself drunk. Naturally, I took on the responsibility of sending him home. In the early morning in Chengdu, there were rare snowflakes floating in the air, and it was extremely cold under the dim light. Because the young man could not speak clearly, I helped him sit on an unfamiliar overpass to look for a place to go, and the taxi driver passing by did not even want to pay attention to him. Two "drunkards" finally found a car that they could get into, and they started vomiting on the way... I don't know how I took him (or rather he took me in a daze) to find a place to live, I just remember that he was determined I waved my hand and said, "It's okay, don't worry!" Haha, I called again and rushed to Nanmen's home. I turned on my phone and found N missed calls, all of which were concern calls from my wife. When I got back, I didn't say a few words before the commotion started. It's contradictory. It's already past two o'clock in the morning when I get home. I have worked very hard, but I still have to explain myself. My wife also means well, but she expresses it forcefully. The two of us get into trouble when we go back and forth.
But it’s nothing, the trivial things disappear in the smoke, just chatting and joking. As time goes by, the excitement of first coming to Hongmiaozi Street Department may have dissipated, and even the glory of "rebuilding a Hongmiaozi" has become an old calendar. At this time, it is more tested and reflected whether our state of mind is mature and whether we can do it. Can I avoid being impetuous and eager for quick success, stick to my post during the dull working years, motivate myself day after day, and bring positive energy to my team?
Thanks to the self-examination I started in college, I am still quite accustomed to such a seemingly ordinary and regular life. Together with my brother, I am self-denial, run the business steadily, and make no mistakes. The "family-owned sentiment" towards Hongmiaozi Street Department gradually took root and sprouted in my heart. Hongmiaozi is the battlefield of my struggle, the place where I can feel the care and warmth between people besides family. , I will refine my experience in the workplace and life and share it with young people without reservation. I will show you my optimism and passion to the greatest extent possible, hoping to lead everyone to move forward together! I never tire of telling my friends to take good care of Hongmiaozi Street Department like my own home! I try my best to set an example in all business data. No matter whether I am good at it or not, I just want to tell everyone that no matter what I encounter, I will face any difficulties bravely with my friends!
This is how I, an ordinary practitioner, feel about the family business of Hongmiaozi Street Department.
Whether it is a home or an enterprise, they are all materials that make up the body of the "country". In this tide of the game of destiny between countries, all members of our Hongmiaozi Street Department are witnessing the violent changes in the world economic structure, and experiencing first-hand its impact on the capital market and even our working environment on our families. And it may continue into the next four years.
Just like this summer, a friend asked me how I felt during the past four years. Looking back to see if my decision to choose Hongmiaozi Street Department was the right one, I answered in four words: no regrets.
Regarding the future, I am an optimist and a person who knows how to be satisfied and grateful. I believe that my friends and I will have a more colorful life in Hongmiaozi Street. Another four years!
