Future chat group

Changdao was quite lively on Saturday, and Lei Hao was not familiar with it, but Baker knew the way and soon led the group to a beachside club.

"Lei, if you live in Long Island, you should quickly learn the skills of playing golf. I really can't imagine what it would be like to spend a weekend without golf on Long Island." Baker skillfully found the seat he had reserved early. , and started talking with Lei Hao.

Baker unexpectedly met with Lei Hao and had a whole afternoon. Baker seemed very happy. He was originally planning to bring up his cooperation opinions during tonight's meeting, but now he decided to talk about it in advance.

"Ante Energy, JP Morgan... they are all big guys." Lei Hao listened to Baker's story and frowned slightly. This was an unexpected cooperation.

The Lepai Restaurant Group, where Baker works, is cooperating with large companies such as Ant Energy and JP Morgan to build a small financial city in New Jersey. There are many things involved, and Lepai can only be considered a small part of it.

The invitation Lei Hao received was to provide financial services for Lepai. In order to share the risk, Morgan decided to introduce other small and medium-sized financial institutions as partners. Groups like Lepai with a certain share can find financial institutions to serve them on their own.

What Lei Hao needs to do is to use Yuhua Bank and Jungle Securities after swallowing up Oasis Securities to provide financial services to Lepai, with financial support and business support from investment banks.

"Investment banking business?" The scene fell into silence for a while, Lei Hao was thinking.

It is impossible for financial institutions not to be exposed to investment banking business. Lei Hao has made enough money by investing in the stock market, futures market, foreign exchange market and other fields. When the amount of funds reaches a certain level, his eyes will naturally turn to other aspects, such as investment banking. .

Large-scale investment banking business is very profitable. For example, if you underwrite a US$100 million project, you can earn millions to millions. If you are willing to take greater risks, you may also make greater profits.

All in all, Lei Hao had long been preparing for his institutions to slowly extend their tentacles, and Baker's olive branch came at the right time.

"Lepai wants to bring together all the brands and build a food city. Well... it's not like a skyscraper. We need to invest about 700 million yuan, and there is still a financing gap of 200 million yuan..." Baker went into more detail. of telling.

An investment bank is an investment bank. It has the attributes of a bank, that is, it absorbs funds and then invests them. It can also provide intermediary services for funds and investments. Lei Hao's Thunder has investment banking business, but Forest does not originally have it. It has integrated Oasis Securities After that, a department will be separated to bypass some laws and regulations and enter investment banking business.

200 million U.S. dollars, converted into RMB 1.3 billion, is a bit troublesome to operate, but people like Fox and Leo can handle it. What Lei Hao needs to do is to find business and find funds when the project does not run smoothly. .

Yuhua Bank alone cannot absorb 200 million yuan. Due to limitations in scale and laws, it cannot swallow up the entire business. The investment cycle of this kind of project is relatively long. Of course, Lei Hao is trying to reduce the occupation of his own funds as much as possible. investment ratio.

"I will let the investment banking department study it. If nothing unexpected happens," Lei Hao smiled and raised his coffee cup and expressed his gratitude to Baker: "Forest will participate in this competition. Mr. Baker, thank you for your care. I mean …Including what happened just now.”

"Haha, Lei, we are friends, there is no need to say these words, and," Baker said with a smile, "You can call me Baker."

"OK, Baker." Lei Hao was a little uncomfortable calling a person who was about the same age as his father by his first name, but this was how foreigners socialized, so he just followed the Romans.

In the shopping mall, people with resources are so quick to negotiate business. Lei Hao also felt the role of personal connections. If he didn't help Baker make money, Baker would definitely not get him an investment banking job at Lepai. Vouchers.

To put it into perspective, if you can get a 200 million yuan investment banking business, the profits you will get start from 2 million yuan. Baker's income in Forest is not that much. Coupled with the sale of the property just now, he instantly felt that he was in trouble with Lei. Hao regained his dominant position in communication.

Lei Hao could feel the other party's emotions from the conversation, but that's okay. Human relations are exchanges, and after a few times, everyone's mutual trust will become higher, and cooperation will become better. close.

After passing the information obtained from Baker to Yaman and others who were still working overtime in the Forest, Lei Hao successfully heard a burst of wailing from the employees. He himself took a break from the busy work and spent time with Qiu Yuting on Long Island accompanied by Baker. On Saturday afternoon, when it was getting dark, everyone returned to Manhattan.

It's about forty minutes away. Lei Hao and Qiu Yuting usually don't waste this time. Even if they are sitting in the car, they still have to discuss the company's development. Sometimes they will take out their laptops to start working, processing emails, Regarding the issuance of opinions, in the Internet age, executives of financial institutions do not have too much free time anyway.

"The 200 million case is a bit too big. Even after Forest annexes Oasis Securities, it should find a small case to practice and get used to, not to mention..." Qiu Yuting and Lei Hao had already finished today's work It was almost done, so she had time to express her opinion on this matter, "Forest hasn't eaten Oasis Securities yet."

"As long as the plan is suitable, in the end it is only a question of money." Lei Hao shook his head and said: "Without investment banking business, we cannot fully utilize the energy of the institution. Only with more business can talent recruitment be simpler and our talent greater. Maximizing the capabilities of institutions and personnel structures are mutually reinforcing, don’t you agree?”

Lei Hao smiled and asked back, earning a blank look from Qiu Yuting.

The company and its employees are always in a mutually reinforcing relationship. For a person like Arman, it is actually a waste if you ask him to conduct research on markets such as the stock market. He is good at more than just these things.

But if you want to develop business, you must also consider the company's capabilities. A canteen cannot sell airplanes. Employees also need to work together. Factors such as time, money, and platform are indispensable.

Qiu Yuting has been doing management work. Whether it is Thunder Group or LEI, she hopes to enrich the scope of business. However, Lei Hao has taken a bigger step this time, 200 million. With LEI's ability, he cannot get the full When the time comes, Forest will have to provide some customer funds, and the pressure on the capital chain will be even greater.

Lei Hao also knows these things. Now the money in his hands carries corresponding risks and pressures, especially in Forest, which is under a lot of pressure.

For example, Lei Hao invested more than 100 million in the financing project of Texas United Petroleum, and then used these contracts to lend 100 million to the bank. What next? Use this 100 million to invest and then borrow? Then as long as something goes wrong at one point in the entire chain, the pressure will rise.

Of course, due to the particularity of China's financial system, Lei Hao does not want to compromise with Red Bank Capital, so the pressure on his Thunder Group is very small, so even if LEI takes greater risks, if something goes wrong, the Thunder Group will at most be blamed blood transfusion.

The financing business of Lepai that Baker found for Lei Hao was worth the risk.
