Chapter 371 Candidate
“By the way, if Huo Yan can join Hanhua this time, I plan to make him the shareholder representative of Hanhua in Standard Chartered. He is close, which is also convenient for Hanhua and Standard Chartered. Business cooperation." Xu Liangdao.
According to the original agreement he reached with Standard Chartered, Hanhua will obtain two board seats of Standard Chartered.
Xu Liang took one for himself, and the remaining one was originally intended to be given to Jiang Xiaoyang.
Now that he has changed his plan, of course he must make it clear to her.
"I have no objection. Hanhua's main business is in China. If I become a director, I will inevitably have to travel both ways. It's not like you have a private jet. I'll be exhausted from going back and forth." Jiang Xiaoyang said.
Xu Liang hugged her slim waist and smiled.
“If you had agreed, I would have bought you a private jet.”
After he made a fortune by shorting Enron last year, he originally planned to buy a private jet for Jiang Xiaoyang, which was also convenient. She works. Later she refused.
One is that domestic private jets are inconvenient to use, and the other is that she doesn’t want to be too unique.
After all, she is different from Xu Liang, she is the daughter of the Jiang family.
Be aware of the impact outside.
"We'll talk about it in a few years. Anyway, I can use your private jet."
"Okay."
He knew Jiang Xiaoyang's concerns, so he didn't Let’s continue this topic.
"Do you have a goal for selecting someone for the New York office?" Jiang Xiaoyang then asked.
Xu Liang asked back: "You are the COO and managing partner of Hanhua, and you haven't thought about finding one during this period?"
"Of course not. I asked McKinsey to contact one. position, but they wanted to start their own business and refused our solicitation."
Xu Liang became interested.
“Who?”
"Li Yanxiu graduated from the Department of Mathematics of the University of Science and Technology of China in 1987.
In 1988, he went to the University of Chicago to study for a PhD in statistics.
Later, he became interested in finance and transferred to the University of Chicago's MBA program.< br>
After graduating in 1991, he entered Merrill Lynch to engage in investment research.
Later, with his solid professional skills in mathematics and statistics, he became a trader in financial derivatives trading. ”
Traders on Wall Street are just like sales in ordinary industries. Although they are not high-level positions, in Wall Street, where 'making money' is the ultimate goal, star traders can sometimes get tens of millions of dollars in commissions, which can be said to be 'high' profits. .
"In 1996, Li Yanxiu was employed by the Canadian Dominion Bank of America Securities Company in Toronto, responsible for the bank's convertible bond investment.
The department he managed has achieved annual performance for 6 consecutive years. The growth rate is above 20%, and the results are very good.
It’s a pity that because they are so good, they now plan to go it alone.”
Jiang Xiaoyang said with some regret.
No matter what industry you are in, there are only a handful of top talents. Li Yanxiu is undoubtedly a genius in the field of hedge funds.
Xu Liang asked, "Is this the only one?"
"McKinsey also recommended a few more, but except for Li Yanxiu, the others are a bit inferior." After a pause, Jiang Xiaoyang said There was pride in her words, "Hanhua Capital is now an international private equity giant that manages nearly 7 billion US dollars, and it is still growing rapidly. I don't like ordinary people."
Seeing her like this, Xu Liang smiled. laugh.
Now Hanhua is indeed qualified to recruit people.
He took another piece of information from the drawer and handed it over.
“This is the candidate I collected - Chu Gang, whose experience is somewhat similar to Huo Yan.
Graduated from the Department of Physics, University of Science and Technology of China, PhD in Theoretical Physics from Northeastern University, working in Citibank Emerging Markets In the financial derivatives department, he has served as a risk analyst, financial derivatives structural risk manager, and chief trader for two years.
Currently, he is the manager of the municipal arbitrage trading department of the famous investment bank Salomon Smith Barney.”
After a pause, Xu Liang continued.
“But speaking of it, there are really many people from the University of Science and Technology of China on Wall Street.”
“Did you know?
The University of Science and Technology of China’s mathematics teaching strength ranks among the best in the country, and mathematics is the most popular among Wall Street investment banks.
This professional background has also made the University of Science and Technology of China unrivaled in the Chinese circle on Wall Street.
I remember that when I was an intern at Morgan Stanley, there were ten people in the circle. Among the Chinese people engaged in financial business on Wall Street, four were from the University of Science and Technology of China," Jiang Xiaoyang recalled.
"So if you learn mathematics well, you can really make a lot of money." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Mathematics is the foundation of most subjects, and it is of course very helpful to learn it well. ...By the way, have you contacted Chu Gang?"
"Not yet. You can contact me on my behalf. Let's do some research and if you think it's appropriate, let him take office." Xu Liangdao.
"If you pass the inspection, how should you be appointed? Partner, or senior partner?"
"Let's go to partner, you can get promoted after making money." Xu Liang said.
Senior partners have stock options in the company.
In the past, Hanhua had just been established and did not have much background. When attracting talents, the conditions given were very generous. Liu Zhiping and Xu Xin both gave 1% of their shares.
But now as the name of Hanhua Capital becomes more and more famous, its foundation is getting stronger and stronger.
There is no need to give shares right away.
Took the information out of Jiang Xiaoyang's hand and threw it on the table.
"Okay, I'll read the information when I have time. I'm going to Europe this time and won't be back for a long time. Let's communicate more before I leave."
As he said that, he hugged Jiang Xiaoyang. "Put me down, it's broad daylight."
"It feels better during the day."
"You bastard, pervert..."

——
The next day, Xu Liang held a newspaper and sat with his legs crossed in the rooftop garden to read.
Everything was almost arranged, so he simply gave himself a holiday.
Ding dong…….
The phone rings.
Xu Liang picked it up, looked at it, smiled slightly, and pressed the answer button.
"Why are you calling me now and missing me?"
"Be serious. I have something serious to tell you." There was a hint of excitement in Jiang Xiaoyang's tone.
"Listen, what makes you so happy?"
"How was your chat with the Li family yesterday?"
Hearing the difference in her tone, Xu Liang couldn't help but ask: "Why, the Li family is causing trouble for us?"
"That's not true. Not only did they not cause trouble, but they also invested in Kunpeng Fund. One hundred million US dollars."
"What? One hundred million US dollars!""Hmm. The entire Kunpeng Fund has only raised so much money so far. That's why I'm curious about what you told Li Jiacheng. What, why did they invest so much money?"
After thinking for a moment, Xu Liang said with certainty: "I mentioned all of those things to you yesterday, and there's nothing else."
"That's because Li Jiacheng is very optimistic about you, so he added additional investment. But this is also a good thing for Kunpeng Fund. Li Jiacheng's influence in Greater China and the global business community far exceeds ours.
He invested US$100 million. , which in itself is proof of being optimistic about us.
Publish this matter.
Although it may not be the second billion in investment, 30 to 50 million is definitely a lot.
< br>In this way, the amount of funds raised by Kunpeng Fund can be increased seven to eight times or even more than the original amount.”
Xu Liang nodded. Lao Li had been in the business world all his life, and his status and influence far exceeded his current status.
His investment will inevitably bring about a chain effect, greatly enhancing Kunpeng’s fundraising speed and amount.
"Since Lao Li thinks so highly of me, you should publicize it for me and make sure all our customers know it."
"Don't worry, I have already explained this matter. But with so much money all at once, can you control it?”
“I can control it if you raise ten billion dollars for me.” Xu Liang said with a smile.
The global oil futures trading market exceeds one trillion U.S. dollars, and the daily trading volume is between 5 million and 70 to 80 billion U.S. dollars. Even if you increase leverage to leverage hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars, if you don't plow it all in at once, you won't hear anything. .
The confident tone made Jiang Xiaoyang calm down.
"Ten billion dollars is definitely not available. It is estimated that there is still hope for more than a billion dollars."
"The more troops Han Xin has, the better. I am waiting for your good news." Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Okay. I'll see you off at the airport in the afternoon."
"Yes."
——
After settling the matters in Xiangjiang, Xu Liang took his private jet, the Golden Eagle, and flew to London for the first time.
He had been here before when he was traveling in his previous life.
Coming here now, I feel much better than when I came here in my last life.
There aren't that many homeless people and junkies on the streets.
Although petty theft and speeding gangs do exist, they are significantly less than during the epidemic.
“The current economy of John Bull is pretty good.” Xu Liang said.
The car quickly arrived at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel where he was staying.
This time, in addition to Lu Hui, Huo Gang and the bodyguard team, there are also staff sent by Hanhua to prepare for the establishment of the London branch.
The group of nearly twenty people had all arranged to stay, and it was already noon.
Lu Hui and the others were jet-lagged, so they rested directly in the hotel.
Xu Liang and Huo Gang's physical fitness is amazing. They slept for a while on the plane. Not only are they not tired, they are full of energy.
"Gangzi, let's go out and walk with me."
When Xu Liangxing arrived, he pulled Huo Gang out of the hotel.
He wanted to see what London was like in this era.
Driving a car provided by the hotel, Xu Liang drove aimlessly, but soon he found that there seemed to be more and more people wearing red and white jerseys around him.
The sign that resembled a period made him realize it.
“This seems to be the logo of Arsenal.”
In his previous life, he often watched basketball because of Yao Ming, and football just followed him. Apart from the World Cup, he rarely watches other football matches.
So I don’t know much about football stars.
As for the team, they only know the giants from major leagues.
As a Premier League giant, Arsenal also knows a little bit about it.
