Reborn in Hong Kong as a Tycoon

Chapter 289 Soliciting Vivien Kelly
After lunch, Lin Baicheng and Vivien Kelly went to the garden of the villa.

At this time, the two talked about business, and they were no longer polite.

"Miss Vivien, Bella just said that you are unhappy at Merrill Lynch. Can you tell me the specific reason?"

Lin Baicheng still wanted to hear why Vivien Kelly wanted to leave Merrill Lynch.

"Of course, Mr. Allen."

Vivien Kelly was not going to hide this, she nodded and said: "Mr. Allen, you are from Xiangjiang, and you may not know much about the United States. In this country composed of many people of color, there are many discrimination."

"Racial discrimination, gender discrimination, education discrimination, rich and poor class discrimination, occupational discrimination, etc. There are quite a lot of similar discrimination."

"I am white and graduated from a prestigious school, and my income and family background are not too bad, so a lot of discrimination does not fall on me."

"However, when I work hard in the workplace, I cannot avoid being discriminated against and treated differently."

"In the workplace, for the same job, a man can score six points to pass, but we women often need to score eight points to pass."

"I'm not bad at asking myself. I managed [-] million US dollars shortly after I joined Merrill Lynch. This was obtained by my own ability. Management treats them differently."

"The funds I managed invested in gold futures around March, and I made a lot of money at that time; later, I think that the price of gold has risen from around US$77 at the beginning of 120 to nearly US$200, an increase of more than 50%. There is too much room for growth, and there is a high possibility of adjustments. Because the relationship is not very certain, I did not short the gold price, but went to crude oil futures.”

"My judgment was not wrong at the beginning. The international gold price was adjusted shortly afterwards, and it fell below the price of 160 US dollars around the end of April and early May, an adjustment of about 20%."

"It's just that the price of gold began to fluctuate upwards in May, and accelerated upwards in August, and now it has risen to a price of nearly 230 US dollars."

"Because I settled the gold futures I was long at the beginning, but I didn't participate in the long sale later. As a result, I didn't make a profit in this big wave of gains. People caught me and attacked me, thinking that my judgment ability was wrong, and I should be held accountable. It is my responsibility to give corresponding punishment."

Hearing what Vivien Kelly said so much, Lin Baicheng asked aloud: "So, what's the situation with your crude oil futures?"

"Because of the oil crisis, the price of oil has soared. Coupled with the relationship of the Cold War, I think the situation in the Middle East will not be stable, and there is still room for oil prices to continue to rise. If there is another war between countries, oil prices will inevitably rise again. So I choose to be long crude oil futures."

"It's just that, although oil prices have also risen during this period, the overall ups and downs are not much, and my profit is naturally not much."

What Vivien Kelly was dissatisfied with was that although she did not make a profit from the rise in the price of gold, she did not make a loss in crude oil futures. Instead, she made a small profit. In addition to the initial profit, her return on investment was actually not low. .

But even so, she was accused of harming the interests of the company, and her supervisor also thought she was wrong. She knew that she was treated this way because of a woman, and this would not happen if she were a man, so she was quite dissatisfied .

"It seems that Vivien Kelly's level is really quite high."

Lin Baicheng couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He knew very well that the oil crisis would break out again next year, and the oil price would indeed rise sharply.The reason why the price of gold has soared is also because there is a war in a country in the Middle East, which has led to a rise in risk aversion. The two are actually linked.

"Miss Vivien, I think Bella should have told you about my intentions, and I will tell you something more specific now."

Lin Baicheng said aloud, and Vivien Kelly listened carefully.

"I personally made a lot of money by doing long gold futures, and I will settle the long gold futures after a while, and there will be at least hundreds of millions of dollars in profits."

"Until now, my gold futures have been invested in my personal name, but if I earn too much, it will be too conspicuous, and I don't want to do this, so I am going to find someone to register an offshore company and put the funds in a more concealed offshore company. offshore companies, and then invest in the United States, the United Kingdom and other places through offshore companies.”

"If there is no accident, my capital will be no less than [-] million US dollars at the beginning, and it may increase in the future. Therefore, the main manager of these funds, I need to find someone who is not low in ability to manage, and I personally have no doubts about the fees. Miss Wen, your ability is still very important."

"So, Miss Vivien, what do you think?"

"Mr. Allen, I would like to ask, how much of your funds can I decide what to invest in? Or, you have to decide what to invest in all funds."

Vivien Kelly asked solemnly, if she was only asked to be a tool person, then she would never agree.

"Usually, I give an investment direction. For example, I think the price of gold will rise, so what you have to do is to judge whether the price of gold will really rise. If you think it will not rise, then you have to convince me. If you can't convince me Me, then follow my order and go long gold futures, how to do it depends on you.”

"However, if you find a good investment target after investigation, for example, you think the price of oil will rise, then as long as you can convince me, I will give you a certain amount of funds to operate."

"If I give the investment direction, if it causes investment losses, that is my problem. I will not blame you. However, if the investment direction you are optimistic about leads to investment failure and huge losses, then the responsibility In you, I will definitely hold accountable, I think you should be able to understand this."

"this is necessary."

Vivien Kelly didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Baicheng's words. No matter which company she was in, if the investment she decided caused the company to lose a lot, she would be kicked out of the company without exception.

"Mr. Allen, I want to go back and think about it."

Vivien Kelly said aloud that as long as Lin Baicheng is persuaded, she can get a certain amount of investment funds. Vivien Kelly thinks it is normal, but whether she wants to work for Lin Baicheng is related to her career, and she will not immediately decision made.

"That's what it should be. Miss Vivien, don't worry about it. I welcome you here anytime."

Lin Baicheng said with a smile, but he will not wait for Vivien Kelly, he will let the headhunting company help him find other candidates.Even if other capable people are found, Vivien Kelly is not bad, if she is willing to join, then the offshore company will still have her place.
