My 1999

"By the way, if Huo Yan can join Hanhua this time, I plan to make him the shareholder representative of Hanhua in Standard Chartered. His proximity will also facilitate the business cooperation between Hanhua and Standard Chartered." 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 had changed his plan, of course he had to tell her clearly.

"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 slender 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 to facilitate her work. 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.

"Let's wait and see in a few years. Anyway, I can use your private jet."

"Fine."

He knew Jiang Xiaoyang's concerns, so he didn't continue the 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 time?"

"Of course not. I asked McKinsey to contact one, but he wanted to start his 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 pursue a PhD in statistics.

Later, I became interested in finance and transferred to the University of Chicago's MBA program.

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 commissions of tens of millions of dollars, which can be said to be 'high' profits. .

“In 1996, Li Yanxiu was employed by Dominion Bank of Canada, Inc. in Toronto and was responsible for the bank’s convertible bond investment.

The department he manages has achieved an annual performance growth of more than 20% for six consecutive years, which is an outstanding performance.

It's a pity that because it's so good, he now plans 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, but except for Li Yanxiu, the others were a bit inferior." After a pause, Jiang Xiaoyang said with pride in his tone, "Hanhua Capital is now an international private equity giant that manages nearly 7 billion U.S. dollars, and it is still I don’t look down on ordinary people who grow up quickly.”

Seeing her like this, Xu Liang smiled.

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 of the University of Science and Technology of China, and received a PhD in theoretical physics from Northeastern University in the United States. He served as a risk analyst, financial derivatives structural risk manager, and chief trader for two years in the emerging market financial derivatives department of Citibank.

Currently, he is the manager of the municipal arbitrage trading department of Salomon Smith Barney, a famous investment bank. "

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."

"You just know?

The mathematics teaching strength of the University of Science and Technology of China ranks among the best in the country, and mathematics is the ability that Wall Street investment banks value most.

This professional background has also created the University of Science and Technology of China’s unrivaled position in the Chinese circle on Wall Street.

I remember when I was an intern at Morgan Stanley, among the ten Chinese people in my circle who were 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 for me and do some research. If you think it's suitable, let him take office." Xu Liang said.

"If you pass the inspection, how will you be appointed? Partner or senior partner?"

"Partner, you can get promoted after making money." Xu Liang said.

Senior partners have stock options in the company.

In the past, when Hanhua was just established, it didn’t have much background. When attracting talents, it offered very generous conditions. 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.

He took the information out of Jiang Xiaoyang's hand and threw it on the table.

"Okay, I'll look at the information when I have time. I'm going to Europe this time and won't be able to come back for a long time. Let's communicate more while I'm still here."

With that said, he hugged Jiang Xiaoyang horizontally.

"Put me down, it's broad daylight."

"You feel 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 cell 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.

"I'm listening, 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 he not cause trouble, but he also invested US$100 million in Kunpeng Fund."

"What? One hundred million dollars!"

"Yeah. The entire Kunpeng Fund has only raised so much money since it started raising funds. That's why I'm curious about what you told Li Jiacheng and how could they invest so much money?"

Xu Liang frowned and thought for a moment, then said with certainty: "I mentioned those things to you yesterday, and there's nothing else."

"That's because Li Jiacheng is very optimistic about you, so he made 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 has invested US$100 million, which is proof that he is optimistic about us.

Spread the word.

Although the second 100 million yuan investment may not be born, 30 to 50 million yuan is certainly a lot.

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 promote it for me and make sure all our customers know it."

"Don't worry, I've already explained this matter. But you have so much money all of a sudden, can you handle it?"

"I can control if you raise 10 billion US dollars for me." Xu Liang said with a smile.

The global oil futures trading market exceeds one trillion U.S. dollars. The daily trading volume is between 5 million and 70 to 80 billion U.S. dollars. Even if you use 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 US dollars is definitely not available. It is estimated that there is still hope for more than one billion US dollars."

"The more troops Han Xin orders, the better. I'm waiting for your good news." Xu Liang said with a smile.

"Okay. I'll see you off at the airport this afternoon."

"Um."

——

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.

Now that I come here, 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 were 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 have amazing physical fitness. After sleeping for a while on the plane, they are not only not tired, but also full of energy.

"Gangzi, let's go out for a 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.

Xu Liang drove a car provided by the hotel 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 full stop made him realize it.

"It seems to be Arsenal's logo."

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 about the giants in major leagues.

As a Premier League giant, Arsenal knows a little bit about it.
