Many people in China have studied abroad. What are the stories about overseas Chinese?

Struggle of Overseas Chinese: Strong Women in China Wandering Wall Street

Xiao Xia said that what Wall Street values is that employees bring economic benefits to the company; There is no distinction between men and women here, because everyone is neutral.

According to recent reports from American media, many senior managers in Wall Street, New York, which is known as the nerve center of international finance, suffer from high anxiety, and they even rely on drugs to relieve stress. However, the strong woman in China contacted by the reporter of News of the World in the United States told the world with her own struggle that women in China can succeed under pressure.

It is important for Gao Mei to dare to admit her ignorance.

Gao Mei's first impression to the reporter of News of the World is gentleness and elegance, and modern elegance and classical elegance coexist. After graduating from graduate school in Canada, Gao Mei was recommended by the professor to continue her doctoral degree because of her excellent performance.

However, because Gao Mei didn't study mathematics specially, she didn't succeed. Fortunately, on the day of losing the election, Gao Mei got an interview with the Bank of Canada on the recommendation of a professor in the school.

Wall Street interview needs not only professional knowledge, but also good psychological quality and moral level. Gao Mei told reporters that in the interview, you must not pretend to understand. Because in the Wall Street securities trading industry, honesty is the most valued quality.

Gao Mei said that she also encountered some thorny problems in the interview. She sincerely shook her head and said "I don't know". However, it is this honest attitude of "not knowing" that made Gomez get the job of analyzing derivative transactions in Toronto, Canada within one week.

Sign language for trading is self-taught.

In Wall Street, where time is money, it is not enough to have an attitude of "not knowing". Because traders have no time or patience to take apprentices. In other words, newcomers have no luxury environment to ask questions without shame. If they do something wrong, they will be scolded, and they will understand after a few scoldings.

In this regard, Gao Mei talked about the past when she first went to the trading floor. In the battlefield of securities trading, we can often see traders talking to each other with their hands in the distance on TV. Gao Mei said that they all speak their own language, and outsiders simply can't understand it. At first, Gao Mei listened to her colleagues like a foreign language, and no one would teach you. Gao Mei had to bite the bullet and teach herself.

She stood beside her peers, observed every word and every action they said, then combined the two together, and then analyzed the content of speculation in combination with the trading scene at that time. Once you guess wrong, guess again. Often an action will be guessed several times before the real meaning is known. In this way, with the unique affinity for "foreign languages" and the spirit of not being afraid of hardship, Gaomei quickly adapted.

Seize the opportunity to promote executives

On Wall Street, regardless of nationality, gender or race, as long as you can make money for the company, you will have a bright future. Once, a portfolio manager of the company was on vacation, and Gao Mei temporarily took his place. While on duty, Gao Mei found a serious mistake in the work of Manager ddhw.cn. At this point, Gomez did not panic or gloat, but spent a long time silently correcting mistakes, thus avoiding the company's heavy losses. After that, with this important contribution, Gomez finally went from the position of an analyst in the rear to the front desk of the new york trading site that the world's best financial talents yearned for.

From 2002 to 2003, it was the development period of Gao Mei's career. At that time, after the corporate scandals including Enron and WorldCom broke out, American companies began to reduce loans in order to improve corporate credit, which caused the high-risk and high-yield bond market prices to plummet again and again.

When colleagues were at a loss, Gao Mei, who is good at analysis, realized that this was a good opportunity to operate high-yield bonds. So, she found the right time to act. In this way, Gaomei quickly grew into a partner and portfolio director of a famous financial company, in charge of new york's assets of 654.38+07 billion US dollars.

Zhang Yinheng followed the right boss.

Zhang Yinheng is a very happy and sweet girl. No matter how sad you are, as long as you see her pure and clear smiling face, you will feel that the sadness in front of you will suddenly disappear. It is because of her infectious innocence and sweetness that she was discovered by Mr. Zavalo, a legendary figure in the international futures trading market, and quickly grew into a mature Wall Street woman.

When Zhang Yinheng first came to the United States, he just wanted to engage in marketing. In 2003, when pure marketing was not enough to satisfy Zhang Yinheng, she saw the job advertisement of Mr. Zalvaro, then president of ABN Amro International Futures Market. Mr Zavalo is looking for an administrative assistant. With the mentality of giving it a try, Zhang Yinheng came to new york from Manhattan. Fortunately, Zhang Yinheng was chosen.

After work, the foreign language is not very good, and the communication at work is hindered. At this time, Zarva Luo didn't quit Zhang Yinheng like other bosses, but gave her advice to improve her English in a short time. Moved, Zhang Yinheng began to learn a foreign language by heart. Sure enough, my English ability has been greatly improved. However, the clever Zhang Yinheng realized that if he didn't want to be an administrative assistant all his life, he needed other skills. Therefore, Zhang Yinheng used his spare time to obtain a license and certificate that he must hold in the financial industry to prepare for future promotion.

Along the way, he followed Mr. Zarvalo and Zhang Yinheng as an administrative assistant and became the director of the Asian Department of the New York Futures Exchange. The reporter has known Zhang Yinheng for two or three years. When I first met her, what impressed me most was that she had extremely keen observation and fiery enthusiasm. When I interviewed her, she was already a strong woman with clear ideas about her career prospects.

Many people say that Zhang Yinheng's success is because she met Mr. Zavalo. In this regard, Zhang Yinheng said with a smile: "When the opportunity comes, only those who are fully prepared can really get the results brought by the opportunity."

Xiao Xia was so tired that she cried at the computer.

Xiao Xia, who has made small achievements in a large domestic real estate company, came to the United States alone in order to seek greater challenges.

At first, Xiao Xia just wanted to see the environment in the United States and planned to improve his language skills before returning to China for development. Unexpectedly, after studying in a language school for eight months, she was admitted to the Business School of new york University with a double degree in economics and finance. At the same time, the famous American Citigroup also gave her a rare internship opportunity.

Because of her outstanding performance, Xiao Xia was hired before graduation. Recalling the process at that time, Xiao Xia told reporters frankly that she still remembered that she couldn't sleep for several days. Extreme fatigue and stress made her cry in front of the computer many times. ...

After graduation, she worked in a large investment group bank for some time. By chance, Xiao Xia entered the world-famous Saunders O 'Neill Investment Company. As the only China employee of the company, Xiao Xia naturally became the core figure of the company to expand the financial market in China. Welcome to ddhw.cn.

However, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Xiao Xia's task at that time was to occupy the China market before other companies in a short time. In the face of difficulties, Xiao Xia did not flinch. In the year after receiving the task, she kept going back and forth between China and the United States to keep in touch and negotiate. After difficult negotiations, she finally succeeded in negotiating with many banks in Chinese mainland.

After seven months in office, Xiao Xia was promoted for the first time. After working for one year, Xiao Xia has served as the company's vice president. Talking about the feelings of a China woman starting a business on Wall Street, Xiao Xia believes that American companies pay more attention to the economic benefits brought by employees. There is no distinction between men and women here, because everyone is neutral.

Reporter's Note: Wall Street women attach great importance to dress.

A strong woman on Wall Street always gives people a tough feeling. However, dignified Gao Mei has built a perfect and happy family while fighting for her career. It is also a coincidence that Gao Mei met her ideal partner in life. Speaking of family, Gao Mei looks very happy. She said that she recently moved to a new home and will soon become the mother of two children.

Some people say that on Wall Street, fashion trends seem to have just begun to learn. Especially the female white-collar workers here, they seem to be a little far from fashion. There is a joke that in order to imitate the classic collocation of men's suits and bow ties, those female colleagues who can't dress up all bought ladies' bow ties to play, which makes people feel "a little silly". Speaking of this, Gao Mei has her own understanding of clothing. She thinks, "Of course, the more money you earn, the more money you spend." She said that she usually goes shopping in upscale brand stores, which can be seen from her elegant clothes.

Like Gao Mei, Zhang Yinheng and Xiao Xia also believe that in a conservative circle like Wall Street, clothes show power and wealth. Xiao Xia said that a strong woman on Wall Street will make two sacrifices while gaining power and wealth. One is to sacrifice fashion in fashion and dignity.

Xiao Xia was right. Nowadays, when professional women begin to bring fashion elements into the office, most Wall Street women feel that they still have to choose a cautious and conservative clothing style. Because in their view, only by dressing appropriately can authority be reflected, otherwise it will be labeled as entertainment by the outside world.

Another sacrifice that Xiao Xia said is private time. As a senior student, she must go out often and sometimes entertain clients on holidays. As a wife and mother, Xiao Xia thinks this will definitely be affected. However, optimistic, she still believes that her salary working on Wall Street should offset the unhappiness caused by all these efforts.
