Starting from Scratch, I Am a Capital Boss

The protagonist Lin Yan is an ordinary student in the finance department of an ordinary first-class university. He comes from an ordinary family but is sensitive to numbers. He relies on a simple quantitative model built by self-study to stand out in the campus simulated stock trading competition. He rejected an internship offer from a brokerage giant and chose to join a small private equity firm that was on the verge of bankruptcy, working with Lao Zhou, a fund manager with an eccentric personality but a vicious vision. In the early days, he repeatedly ran into obstacles due to a lack of industry resources. He encountered a short-selling campaign by institutions, a crisis of customer withdrawal of investment, and was even plotted behind the back by a former classmate. However, he always adhered to the bottom line of value investment. In the volatile bull and bear markets of A-shares, he gradually developed accurate industry judgment and risk control capabilities from analysis and research reports, field surveys to independent trading. Ten years later, Lin Yan led the team to create a well-known growth fund in the industry. With the investment philosophy of "no following the trend, no speculation, and no compromise", he gained a foothold in the capital jungle. He grew from a student with nothing to a financial boss who took into account both profitability and social responsibility. He finally understood what Lao Zhou said back then: "The essence of capital is trust, and the core of growth is restraint."
