Rebirth of the Capital Legend

In terms of employee treatment, as long as the company's business continues to develop healthily and its performance and business scale continue to grow, Su Yi will definitely not be stingy.

The 3% dividend he promised to Isabel didn't seem like much.

However, considering the growth rate of the assets managed by Huayi Capital Hong Kong Branch and the expected future development potential, and calculated based on the actual profits the company can earn each year, the dividends that can be obtained from this 3% share dividend right will definitely not be less than the million-dollar annual salary he promised.

Of course, Isabel is well aware of this.

So, after Su Yi put forward this condition, she basically agreed without thinking: "To be honest, before I met President Su, I was still hesitant about joining your company. After all, as far as I know, your company has not been established for a long time, and the relevant business development is still in its infancy. At the same time, I also had doubts about President Su's determination to develop global VC business.

But now, after officially meeting President Su.

Especially after I saw Mr. Su's sincerity, I fully believe in his determination to develop this business."

"Okay!" Su Yi nodded with a smile and said, "I am very happy to hear what Ms. Isabel said. I hope that in the future we can work together to create a better future and create brilliance together."

After saying that, Su Yi took the initiative to extend his hand to Isabel and made a sincere invitation.

Isabel shook hands with Su Yi again, indicating that the two parties had reached a preliminary agreement and also expressed her decision to join "Hua Yi Capital".

"But..." After a pause, Isabel continued, "Although I have agreed to Mr. Su's conditions and plan to join the big family of Huayi Capital, I still have some important work to complete for the project I am currently working on, which may take some time. I hope Mr. Su can let me finish the project I am currently working on and complete the part of the work assigned to me by Aberdeen Asset Management Group. After the handover, I can join Huayi Capital."

"How much time do you need to deal with the work at hand?" Su Yi asked with a smile.

Isabel thought for a moment and said, "It may take about a month."

"No problem." Su Yi said, "Our company's VC-related business is still in the initial preparation stage, so there is no urgency. I also admire Ms. Isabel's style of doing things from beginning to end. Then, as you said... one month later, we will welcome Ms. Isabel to join us, and no matter when Ms. Isabel wants to join us, the conditions I set today will not change."

"Thank you, Mr. Su." Isabel was quite touched by Su Yi's magnanimity.

"Oh, by the way..." Su Yi thought for a moment and said, "I believe that Ms. Isabel has gained considerable experience in managing her team during her years at Aberdeen Asset Management. If any team member in your current team also wants to join our Huayi Capital, I can give you enough negotiation conditions and give them a salary package of 150% to 200% of the salary of the same position in the same industry."

"Mr. Su, do you want me to join the company with my entire team?" Isabel asked with a smile.

Su Yi responded: "If it is possible, I certainly hope so. Of course...if Ms. Isabel finds this difficult, then forget it."

"I'll try my best," Isabel said, "but overall, I'll respect everyone's wishes."

"We must respect everyone's wishes," Su Yi said. "Work itself is a continuation of life, so we must follow our inner choices."

"Yeah." Isabel nodded, and her eyes turned to Fang Wanqing involuntarily. She smiled and said, "Wanqing should have a good relationship with President Su, right?"

Su Yi replied: "Miss Fang and I are indeed very good friends."

"Then why doesn't Mr. Su invite Miss Fang to join your company?" Isabel asked curiously, "In my team, Wanqing's ability is very good."

Su Yi said: "I have invited you several times. How about... Ms. Isabel please help me persuade her again?"

"I think... this shouldn't require my persuasion, right?" Isabel looked at Su Yi with a smile, and intuitively felt that the relationship between the two was more than just friendship.

"Oh, please stop talking about me." Fang Wanqing responded, "I'm just a supporting role today."

"Mr. Su, what specific plans do you have for the development of the company's VC business in the future? Or what areas do you plan to focus on?" Seeing that Fang Wanqing didn't want to talk about her work arrangements, Isabel immediately changed the subject, "And what strategic goals do you need to achieve in VC business investment?"

Su Yi said: "At present, I don't have any specific ideas about this. What do you think, Ms. Isabel?"

Isabel thought for a moment and said, "It depends on what you, Mr. Su, have decided on the future development direction of Huayi Capital. Do you want Huayi Capital to become a giant asset management company like BlackRock, Blackstone, Aberdeen Asset Management, and Vanguard Capital, which mainly operates asset management and supplements VC investment? Or do you want it to become an investment giant like SoftBank Investment, Jinshi Capital, and Nikkei United Capital, which mainly operates VC and supplements asset management? Or do you want it to become a global comprehensive financial group like Bank of New York Mellon, Goldman Sachs, UBS International, Huifeng Bank, Pacific Capital, and Citibank, which mainly operates investment banking and has balanced development of various investment businesses?"

"I naturally hope that Huayi Capital can become a globally renowned comprehensive financial group giant in the future," Su Yi said. "The asset management business needs to develop, the VC business needs to develop, and the investment banking business needs to develop in the future. However, our capital strength is limited at present, so we can only start with the investment business."

"Okay." Isabel said, "Then I understand Mr. Su's inner thoughts and the future development direction of Huayi Capital. After I join Huayi Capital, I will start with the company's business development direction and try to invest in projects that will have business intersections with the company in the future, or projects that will be helpful to the company's future business."

"Okay." Su Yi nodded with a smile, "In this regard, I completely trust Miss Isabel."

"And..." Isabel paused, then continued, "Wanqing told me before that President Su, you want to package and operate capital, and hide the source of investment capital in many investments?"

Su Yi nodded and said, "Yes, after all, in the international capital market, there are many places that have entry bans on Chinese capital. I don't want future investment projects to be hindered by the entry ban on Chinese capital, so I hope that when necessary, the capital leaving our company can reasonably and legally change its identity and background, and accurately invest in the most critical areas we hope for. I know that Ms. Isabel had professional knowledge and practical experience in this area when she worked at Citibank, so I hope you can help us complete this work."

"Many places and countries do have entry bans for Chinese capital." Isabel pondered for a while and said, "If it is simply for the convenience of investment projects and to reduce unnecessary troubles, I can certainly help. But if Mr. Su has the intention of money laundering or other illegal activities, then I may be more sorry."

Su Yi smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Ms. Isabel, every penny of profit our company earns is legal and compliant."

With his advantage as a reborn person, he has now accumulated a considerable amount of capital.

He can't make all the money in the formal market, so there is no need for him to take risks, and there is even less need to make money by violating regulations and laws.

"That's good." Isabel nodded, paused, and then said, "As far as I know, there is a suitable project investment opportunity that will help the future development plan of Huayi Capital that Mr. Su just mentioned. I wonder if Mr. Su is interested in this?"

"Ms. Isabel means..." Su Yi was a little confused.

Isabel smiled faintly and said, "Due to the extreme volatility of the pound exchange rate market, FXCM International, a well-known foreign exchange market maker, suffered a passive loss of more than $10 billion almost overnight because too many investors' long positions were abandoned after being liquidated.

The same situation also occurred in last year's "Swiss Franc Black Swan" incident.

In other words, the market maker FXCM International is now on the verge of bankruptcy after suffering such huge losses.

As far as I know, they may have to seek external investment and sell themselves.

If Huayi Capital, headed by President Su, is determined to continue to display its prowess and develop in the global financial trading market in the future.

At this time, we took advantage of the fact that FXCM International, a leading foreign exchange market maker, was in crisis.

We have no choice but to seek external investment capital.

If we acquire it, it should be a good opportunity, and we will also get relatively favorable acquisition conditions. "

"FXCM International?" Su Yi's eyes narrowed instantly when he heard about this institution. He indeed realized that this was a great opportunity for acquisition and intervention. He could not help but say, "Thank you Ms. Isabel for telling me, but our institution's available capital is very limited at present. With the size of our company, we may not be able to take over FXCM International, the leading global foreign exchange market maker."

In Su Yi's estimation.

Based on the customer base of FXCM International, as well as its disclosed annual revenue, profit and net asset size.

To acquire such a company, it would cost at least about 30 billion to 40 billion US dollars.

But at present, the total capital volume of their institution is only 5 to 6 billion US dollars.

If we forcibly take over this enterprise, the company’s subsequent investment business will not be able to be carried out.

"ForexCM International, which is already on the brink of death, the cost of acquiring it will not be very high," Isabel said. "If I can take over this project, I estimate that the maximum cost is US$15 billion to acquire all the shares of this company."

"15 billion US dollars?" Su Yi was shocked when he heard the number.

Similarly, Fang Wanqing was also shocked when she heard this number. After all, the valuation mentioned by Isabelle was much lower than the fair value estimates given by various institutions for FXCM International.

"Of course, the launch of this project can only be formally carried out after I leave Aberdeen Asset Management," Isabel said. "But before that, I think you can send a team of negotiators, express the idea of ​​acquisition, and use the negotiation form to hold back FXCM International. As long as you can hold it back and prevent other competitors from entering the market, the longer it is delayed, the worse the situation FXCM International will face, and the fewer bargaining chips it will have, and the price of your acquisition will be lower and lower."

Su Yi gave her extremely generous job-hopping salary and stock dividend rights.

Well, she had chosen to return the favor before.

She had originally intended to complete the acquisition of FXCM International at Aberdeen Asset Management, but now that she has a new buyer, she is not going to do this project at Aberdeen Asset Management. Furthermore, if she can help Hua Yi Capital win this investment project at a lower cost at the beginning of her employment, she believes that she can lead her team and gain a foothold in Hua Yi Capital as quickly as possible.

"Okay." After hearing Isabel's words, Su Yi's eyes lit up instantly.

If we can really acquire all the shares of FXCM International at a cost of US$15 billion or even lower, we can acquire this company.

Then, the global financial layout he envisioned has taken the most critical first step.

What's more, with the reputation that FXCM International, a market maker, has left in the hearts of global investors after more than 20 years of operation, after the acquisition at a relatively low price, as long as FXCM International can overcome the current difficulties, then... even if he does not want to be deeply involved in the management of this company in the future.

If you want to sell the shares of this company, you will probably make a lot of money.

It can be said that the "welcome gift" given by Isabel is definitely worth the job-hopping conditions he offered to Isabel.

"Boss Su, please leave this to me." Wang Huaijin thought for a moment and said, "After the news of FXCM International's bankruptcy crisis spread, it is estimated that various global investors, especially other capable and capitalized foreign exchange investment banks and other market makers, will definitely be tempted. If we want to acquire this project, we will probably have many direct competitors, so... we must not hesitate. We must contact the shareholders of FXCM International before everyone else puts forward their conditions, and quickly put forward our conditions to stabilize the other party."

"Okay." Su Yi said, "You will set off with the team tomorrow, and I will delay my return to the Magic City for a few days."

Wang Huaijin nodded. He already had a preliminary plan in mind for this matter.

over time……

When several people have the same interests and similar ideas, the more they talk, the more they get along.

Finally, it was already 3pm when we finished our meal.

Isabel and Fang Wanqing left and returned to the Hong Kong branch of Aberdeen Asset Management, while Su Yi and Wang Huaijin returned to Huayi Capital and immediately convened an internal meeting of the company's department heads to determine the subsequent work content and business development plan.
