Wall Street Legend

  Chapter 123 New Headquarters

Ye Dongqing discussed with the staff about recruiting a batch of new staff after lunch, and asked them to draw up a list of vacancies. About 40 people need to be recruited, covering financial analysis, risk control management, financial management, legal department, etc. positions, and need two cleaners who specialize in cleaning, as well as company security personnel.

The structure of the current fresh water fund company is not sound, and it will soon be moved into a new company. Such problems can be put on the agenda first. Someone suggested that he acquire and integrate several existing fund companies and start to form a normal public offering , Private equity sector, developing towards PE and VC, the former is the abbreviation of "private equity investment", while the latter is the abbreviation of "venture investment".

They are different from investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, **, and Merrill Lynch. They are subdivided into several major categories. The reason why Ye Dongqing's fresh water fund company is subject to such strict supervision is also because of one of his These investments have exceeded the scope of traditional fund investment. Fund companies with average risks have been turned into high-risk PE and VC. The Securities and Exchange Commission will naturally pay more attention. In fact, it is very responsible for them. The interests of investors are considered.

  Ye Dongqing listened carefully. As an "adventurer" in the eyes of his employees, he, a young boss, already had some majesty in the eyes of the employees.

Not only he, the boss, felt the excitement, because the leverage was so high at every turn, and the heartbeats of these employees often followed. Some operators couldn't figure out how this small company, Freshwater Fund, could expand so quickly. Now this scale.

Recently, I always like to add the phrase "our company earned more than 50 million US dollars in two months" when selling sales. There are really many investors who obediently took the bait. Freshwater Fund has money on its books, which means that its ability to cash out is guaranteed. Many funds This is how the company became famous because of World War I, and quickly snowballed and grew.

   "Our company should change its name to Danshui Investment Group or something. It sounds cooler and the scope of business seems to be larger."

Sitting on the desk at the moment, Ye Dongqing told several employees with a cigar in his hand, and he continued: "It is clearly not a traditional fund company, but it is restricted by this name. In the past two years, countless fund companies have lost money. Bankruptcy has caused investors to have a shadow in their hearts, and the media's schadenfreude has expanded its influence, which will make some people unwilling to believe us.

It wasn’t when we first started our business. We already had some strength, and we didn’t need to merge other companies. It was just a waste of money. To be honest, I don’t like the commission and management fees. Several wealth management products continue to Selling, the investors are happy, and I am also happy. I just want to compete with the banks for business. When other companies are willing to trust us and spend tens of millions of dollars, or even hundreds of millions of dollars to buy our wealth management products, this is success. "

   "Boss, I want to know when new recruits are recruited, will you select managers from among us, or from newcomers?"

"This still depends on the ability, but I can guarantee that as long as the business does not make too many mistakes, don't do nothing all day long, and the names of you old employees will not be included in the layoff plan. Work hard, yours Chances for promotion are definitely greater than for new hires…”

  It's mid-January.

Recently, Ye Dongqing was tortured to the point of dying. He finally invested all his money in the crude oil futures market. He chose the wrong timing again. It’s not that he lost a lot of money. So far, he has made a small profit of tens of millions of dollars. , It's just that the price of oil is like a roller coaster. It is very likely that you will earn 20 to 30 million US dollars on the first day, and then lose it on the second day.

He holds a total of crude oil futures orders worth more than 870 million U.S. dollars, a total of more than 30 million barrels of crude oil, which is enough for a small country to use for a period of time, and the rest is used to resist risks funds.

  After Little Edward heard about this, he made a special call to Ye Dongqing. Even he couldn't help but sweat, saying that he had never seen such an aggressive speculator.

Open your eyes every day to check the oil price situation, and take a look before going to bed. Recently, Ye Dongqing has been in a state of high spirits for a long time. The new house has not yet been renovated, and Laura is still staying in the hotel. On the 16th, just Completed more than 50 hours of community service, more than 100 hours away from completing all punishments.

  American judges like to judge those who perform community service, and the right is to do public welfare. This kind of punishment is also a characteristic.

Ye Dongqing's luxury apartment in the Puchuan Building has not been renovated, mainly to avoid affecting the neighbors, and can only start work at the specified time, not in the morning, at noon, or at night, not even on Saturdays and Sundays. The construction period has been greatly extended.

It's funny to say, because of the decoration, the current real estate businessman upstairs even came to ask the construction party not to start construction after 5:30 every afternoon, but Ye Dongqing didn't have a chance to meet that person face to face. Legendary merchant.

The office downstairs is relatively simple, and all the finishing work was completed yesterday. The United States has relatively strict requirements for decoration materials, and there is almost no concept of ventilation and drying to remove formaldehyde. affect people too much.

Therefore, today Tamsui Fund Company officially invited a moving team to start moving to the new headquarters. Most of the employees who should rent houses have already rented, and most of the rest have already figured out how to solve the problem of travel on weekdays. According to Chinese customs I should have set off firecrackers to celebrate this kind of event, but I was worried that it would be misunderstood as a large-scale gun battle on Wall Street. This idea only circled in Ye Dongqing's head, and he quickly gave up.

I don’t have many things, just some computers and documents that need to be taken away. I was busy from eight o’clock to noon, and paid for takeaway to treat the employees to a working meal. Almost all of them are busy, and I have to arrange a new one. headquarters.

I had already asked an advertising company to customize the signboard, and it was still placed at the elevator entrance, the kind that you can see as soon as you get out of the elevator. The total area is about 2,700 square meters, and the semi-public office is separated by many glass walls. Ye Dongqing herself This room is relatively large, nearly 100 square meters, occupying the corner with the best view.

  It was originally a headquarters rented by a company. After it was in his hands, the layout was only slightly changed. White walls, dark gray floors, high-rise buildings outside the window, and sunlight in the afternoon, it is spacious and comfortable.

Not only the Freshwater Fund, but the employees of the Golden Island Financial Management Company will also occupy a space here, separated by wooden boards for office work, and it still looks empty, especially when new employees have not been fully recruited. After renting such a large room, according to the idea of ​​the real estate agent, it would be enough to separate it from the middle.

   New year, new weather.

  At the beginning of 2003, the headquarter of Freshwater Fund Company suddenly became much more luxurious. It can’t be said to be luxurious, but it’s pretty good. If there are no accidents, it should be able to be used for several years, or even more than ten years.

It’s not a labor-intensive industry, and doesn’t require many employees. Ye Dongqing bought two coffee machines from the Amazon mall, as well as refrigerators, microwave ovens and other electrical appliances. They were all delivered today, and several Bloomberg News machines were installed around The data terminal produced by the company.

   There is a custom-made large screen, which is used to scroll and display the stock price details of various companies. The production has not been completed yet, and it will not be delivered until next week.

Ye Dongqing spent more than two million dollars on decoration and purchase. Of course, it is counted as the expenses of the Freshwater Fund Company, which can save a fortune in tax time. I used to help people launder money and develop a habit. For these inconspicuous details I am very concerned about it, and I will never suffer if I can save it.

  I'm busy with relocation today, and it's already past four o'clock in the afternoon when the cleaning is over. Except for those employees who have unfinished tasks, everyone else can clock out early today.

As a supervisor, Mr. Carnek couldn't just leave as he wanted. Seeing his little boss at this moment, he lowered his voice and reminded him, "You didn't zip up your trousers, and your hair got wet. Could it be that you just went home and took a shower? "

   I don't know that Laura is currently living upstairs in this Puchuan building, otherwise Carneg would never have asked such a stupid question.

  Ye Dongqing just came back from her place, coughing dryly with guilt, and said: "Well, there is dust everywhere, and I have a party to attend at night, so I can't go there with a whole body of ashes."

  Great excuse, Carneg didn't think too deeply, instead he said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will bring some pots of green plants, there are very nice green pots on the balcony at home, do you want them?

My wife likes to take care of these things very much. She has a friend who specializes in flowers and plants, and makes her back garden as beautiful as described in a fairy tale. It is said that there are more than 800 kinds of plants growing there. in the garden. "

   "Hey, remember to ask for me. If the price is not high, let her help me rearrange the office area on this floor, get some bonsai, flower stands, etc., and I will feel more comfortable after seeing it for a long time."

  They are all men, so don't worry about anything, Ye Dongqing zipped up calmly, just now he was bitten by Laura, and now his shoulder still hurts.

It may be because Laura was almost driven crazy by the boring days of the past few days, and her mood was a little abnormal. A few days ago, she planned to go to the movies together, but the nearest movie theater was three kilometers away, so he finally took Zhao Liuli there. Laura did not go, it is estimated that this is revenge.

Still in an unclear relationship, just continue to fool around like this. Fortunately, they are still young, and Laura has not thought too much about the future. Friend, and not yet.

  Carnek replied: "It is definitely at the normal price, which is cheaper than buying it yourself. She has many low-cost channels. As for the cost, I will ask you first."

   "OK, after you finish your get off work, go to work. If you are interested, please come to meet someone with me. I met someone in Xiangjiang and founded a company called Tencent. Next, I plan to invest in it..."
