Chen Wei called Yue Jiawen again and asked about the conditions and procedures for applying for the investment operation license.
Yue Jiawen was not surprised that Chen Wei wanted to start a company and briefly explained some relevant regulatory requirements to him. Then he gave Chen Wei a contact number, that of a staff member named Hu Zhaocheng at the regulatory office in Haidong. Yue Jiawen mentioned that he would inform Hu Zhaocheng in advance, so Chen Wei could directly approach him when needed.
After chatting for a while, they hung up the phone.
From Yue Jiawen, Chen Wei learned that to establish such an investment company, a minimum registered capital of five million yuan is required. Chen Wei couldn't come up with that much money at the moment, so he decided to wait for a while before proceeding. Besides capital, three executives with professional qualifications are also required. This wasn't too difficult, as he could simply recruit a few. However, for added security, Chen Wei decided to obtain the professional qualification certificate himself.
Given his background in finance and day trading, the exam posed no significant challenge.
After deciding, Chen Wei looked up the exam dates online and realized that the last exam of the year was on November 30th and December 1st, with the registration deadline being November 8th, the previous Friday...
Chen Wei sighed helplessly; he'd have to wait for the exam in March next year.
He bought some textbooks online and resumed trading when the futures market opened in the afternoon.
Copper prices didn't fluctuate much in the afternoon, so he continued trading within the range.
He earned over a hundred thousand in an hour and a half and made over three hundred thousand in total for the day.
Since it was getting late, after closing the market, Chen Wei went to bed for a nap.
In the evening, when he arrived at the company, Zheng Junpeng and others came over to ask about the condition of the woman from yesterday.
Upon learning that the woman was severely injured and paralyzed, Zheng Junpeng and others felt a tinge of sadness.
While they were talking, they saw Wang Fang poking her head outside.
It was Zhou Yi who noticed first, sneering, "Oh, it looks like the little girl couldn't hold it anymore. Boss, she's here to see you."
Chen Wei looked up and indeed saw Wang Fang waving at him, wearing a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"I'll go check it out."
Chen Wei told Zheng Junpeng and the others and got up to leave the office.
"Chen Ge, I..."
When Wang Fang saw Chen Wei coming out, she started to say, but Chen Wei interrupted her directly: "This is not the place to talk. Let's go over there."
Chen Wei pointed to the end of the corridor and walked ahead.
Wang Fang followed closely behind.
"Speak, what's the matter?"
When they reached the end of the corridor, Chen Wei asked lightly.
"Chen Ge, I know I was wrong. I beg you to forgive me. I won't dare to do it again."
Wang Fang pleaded with Chen Wei, her eyes filled with tears.
"Alright, since you've realized your mistake, I won't report this to Wang Zong. Keep the two thousand yuan for yourself."
Chen Wei said, turning to leave.
But Wang Fang grabbed his hand.
Wang Fang was still not quite sure if Chen Wei would forgive her so easily, so she continued to plead, "Chen Ge, I can't take this money. Please take it. Consider it compensation from me. Also, those people... Can you please not let them follow me anymore?"
"Those people? Who are they? What are you talking about, Wang Fang?"
Chen Wei looked at Wang Fang with a smile, saying.
"Huh?"
Wang Fang was stunned. She thought Chen Wei was still not willing to forgive her.
Seeing her reaction, Chen Wei gradually withdrew his smile and said seriously, "Wang Fang, remember, just do your job honestly. Nobody can harm you. But if you don't behave, violate company rules, and go against your conscience, then... it's hard to say!"
After speaking, he turned and left.
"Chen Ge, what about the money..."
Wang Fang asked again.
"I won't take ill-gotten gains!"
Chen Wei said without looking back.
Back at his desk, Zhou Yi leaned over and asked, "Boss, how did it go?"
"Xu Lin gave her two thousand yuan to keep an eye on us. The girl got scared and came to apologize to me, offering the money, which I didn't take."
Chen Wei smiled faintly and said.
"Damn! Just for two thousand bucks! This girl really has no bottom line!"
Zhou Yi cursed immediately.
"Alright, the girl is really scared now. Let's leave it at that."
Chen Wei said lightly.
Zhou Yi nodded and said, "That girl got off easy! By the way, Boss, did you take the money?"
"Can I take that money?"
Chen Wei gave him a look and said.
"True, you can't take that money. If you did, it'd be hard to explain. But that Xu Lin, daring to play us like this, hmph, let's see!"
A hint of fierceness flashed in Zhou Yi's eyes.
