Chapter 537 Hire a consultant
There was no difficulty in getting the standby letter of credit. Before leaving, Lin Anxi politely delivered it to the door. It was already early 6 o'clock in the evening.
"Professor Frank has an apartment in midtown Manhattan. One or two of the four or five weekends a month, he will live in New York and return to Chicago on Sunday afternoon. Taylor was supposed to go to public relations, but... I What a coincidence." Sitting in the car, Qiu Yuting held Lei Hao's hand with a slightly tired expression on her face.
"Taylor hasn't completed his resignation from Goldman Sachs yet." Lei Hao shook his fiancée's hand a little distressedly, and moved his shoulder closer, allowing Qiu Yuting to naturally lean her head on it.
When Qiu Yuting got off the plane, Lei Hao heard about today's arrangements from her. He went to see Lin Anxi first, and after getting the standby letter of credit, he went to her university teacher to chat with her for dinner.
This is no ordinary dinner. In fact, if Qiu Yuting did not have her current wealth and status, Frank, who is a professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, would not have agreed to this meeting.
After all, this is a major matter of negotiating to hire people from the other party to serve as LEI consultants.
In fact, Lei Hao should be the one to handle this kind of thing, but he has no connections in the United States. It was only this afternoon that he became more aware of the operating model of the American financial circle.
Consultant is a very systematic position in Europe and the United States. Although China also has this kind of position, it plays more of a paper role. In the Western world, especially in the financial industry of the Western world, the word consultant is very intriguing. .
For example, in LEI, if you don't have a consultant of the corresponding level, you won't be able to participate in many things. You can only pretend to be deaf and dumb in many meetings and the like, and it's impossible to talk about some cooperation.
Taking Professor Frank as an example, he can serve as a consultant for LEI and at the same time as a consultant for other financial institutions. He can express opinions on those parts of the business where there is no conflict of interest between the two.
The most important thing is that hiring people like Professor Frank is actually getting a ticket and a gun. Economists with such high status have a lot of weight in what they say, such as when the Federal Reserve discusses interest rates. Scholars can play their due role there.
And even if Lei Hao makes a lot of money, how can other institutions communicate with you without a consulting team of corresponding status? According to laws and regulations? Stop making trouble, this is the financial world.
Between various financial institutions, those things that are overt and covert are communicated through the circle of consultants and scholars.
"I found out that Professor Frank will not accept the invitation to serve as LEI consultant, but Dr. Frank Jr. can. They are both from the Chicago School of Economics, and they are father and son. Frank Jr.'s level is just right with LEI." Qiu Yuting He squinted his eyes and took a break, with a hint of laziness and wisdom in his tone.
Lei Hao didn't say anything else, but took time to let his fiancée rest. When it was approaching 7 o'clock, the car drove into a residential area.
After registering, I parked my car, took the elevator to the 16th floor, rang the doorbell, and was greeted by a middle-aged white man.
"Welcome, Alisa, long time no see." He greeted Qiu Yuting and was surprised to see Qiu Yuting make a handshake gesture. The man smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it, and finally his eyes fell on Lei Hao.
"Hi, my name is Frank. When the old man is around, you can call me Little Frank." Frank was wearing home clothes and even a kitchen apron around his waist. He was obviously busy.
"Boy, I smell burning. Do you want to wait at the door for more than half an hour?" A strong voice came from inside the room.
"Hello, my name is Lei Hao." Lei Hao had just finished shaking hands with little Frank at this time.
"Here are the slippers, just leave the hangers there. I'm going to deal with those damn ingredients. You guys sit with the old man for a while first." Little Frank spoke faster, and then immediately walked back to the kitchen.
The surprised person became Lei Hao. After changing his slippers and putting down his coat, he and Qiu Yuting walked into the living room.
The decoration of the room is quite simple, with wooden floors, white sofas, glass coffee tables and some artworks that do not seem to meet the taste of most Eastern people. The living room looks like the territory of an ordinary Western middle class.
Sitting on the sofa was a grey-haired, energetic old man wearing glasses. When he saw Qiu Yuting and Lei Hao, he stood up.
Unlike his son, Frank Sr. could enjoy Qiu Yuting's hug and kiss, and then his handshake with Lei Hao.
"Alisa, I heard about you. It's amazing. You made the right choice to return to China." Old Frank turned his head and praised: "You are the best among my students."
"Thank you, Professor, let me show you my more successful things," Qiu Yuting held Lei Hao's arm and said, "This is my fiancé Lei Hao. In fact, all my assets are jointly owned by husband and wife, and he occupies Most of them.”
"Wow, young man, if I were as generous as you, maybe little Frank's mother would stay." Old Frank made a joke.
Lei Hao was a little unaccustomed to the way Westerners spoke, so he just kept smiling. In addition, his English was relatively jerky. After sitting down, Qiu Yuting guided the conversation.
When students and teachers get together, it is indispensable to reminisce about the green years of college. As a non-doctoral student, Qiu Yuting has only attended a few major lectures by Frank Sr., and there are not many common topics.
But the couple's assets are billions of dollars. This is Qiu Yuting's capital sitting here. There are not many students like her in the entire UCB, so of course Old Frank will give him face.
Before and during the meal, it was time for chatting. Everyone showed off their personality and style, and made preliminary contact and understanding of each other. After dinner, the four of them entered the study and sat down separately, and then they got down to business. .
"Alisa, I read your email and I have to say that your fiancé is a miracle, but unfortunately, I have no idea of taking on the role of LEI consultant at the moment." Old Frank took out his cigar and received an expression from Qiu Yuting that he didn't mind. After that, he distributed the cigars to Lei Hao and Little Frank and said.
"We understand your choice, Professor." Qiu Yuting said, then changed the topic to other places.
Lei Hao was a bit bored next to him. Social interaction was like this. Things that everyone knew obviously had to be mentioned in a roundabout way. Even who spoke first about Little Frank had to have some small fights.
After seven twists and turns, the topic was finally introduced to little Frank.
Frank Sr. showed off how powerful his son was and what achievements he had made, while Frank Jr. was "modest" and said that he still needed to learn more, and it would be best to work with a promising institution first. past early development.
Lei Hao also listened to his fiancée's remarks in various situations as if she didn't need money. The two parties obviously had a tacit understanding for a long time, but they had to pretend to be "discovering a new world".
Fortunately, the topic was finally introduced.
