My Age of Investment

Wall Street is a large street extending from Broadway Road to the East River in the southern part of Manhattan, New York City. It is only 500 meters long and 11 meters wide.

This narrow and short street brings together the world's densest financial institutions and large enterprises, including Nasdaq, New York Stock Exchange, Goldman Sachs, DuPont and so on.

Xia Jingxing bought a cup of coffee, held it in his hand, and strolled in this dilapidated Wall Street.

It is said to be dilapidated because many buildings on both sides of the road have a history of hundreds of years, and the architectural style is similar to the architectural style of the row of concession foreign firms on the Bund of Shanghai.

Xia Jingxing stopped on the side of the street and looked at the business elites coming and going. Everyone was carrying bags, their hair was meticulously styled, and they walked in a hurry.

"Mr. Xia, there is so much flavor here!"

Xia Jingxing turned his head and glanced at Liu Xiaoduo who was standing beside him carrying a bag, and asked, "What's the smell?"

"The smell of money!"

Liu Xiaoduo looked around, as if a fire was burning in his eyes.

Xia Jingxing laughed loudly, "What does money smell like? After seeing a group of migrant workers, it smells like money."

Liu Xiaoduo said unconvinced: "Look at how fast they walk, almost trotting, cherishing time so much must be to make money, time is money."

"Makes sense."

Xia Jingxing nodded, and then walked towards 40 Wall Street not far away.

It was a 70-story building built in 1930 with a height of 282.5 meters.

The original name of the building was Chase Manhattan Bank Building, but now it is called Trump Tower.

Passing through the hall with a ceiling nearly ten meters high, Xia Jingxing walked into the elevator, and Liu Xiaoduo pressed the button for the 49th floor.

That's right, the New York office has also been assigned this auspicious number by OCD patients.

The entire 49th floor was rented by Vision Capital, with an area of ​​about 1,300 square meters.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, you will see the Chinese and English logos of Envision Capital.

The glass door opened, and Xia Jingxing walked into the modernly decorated office, smiled at the blonde girl at the front desk who was standing up and saluted, and continued to walk in.

The open office area, at a glance, becomes a sea of ​​display screens.

At each workstation, there are six display screens stacked together to wrap the employees tightly.

Jiang Ping was talking with a trader at a work station, when he saw Xia Jingxing coming, he immediately walked over.

"Jing Xing, I came here so soon, I thought you would be a few days late."

Xia Jingxing smiled, "It's better to come here earlier."

Many traders around heard that the boss was coming, and they all craned their necks curiously to look around.

Xia Jingxing saw a head popping out of the surrounding display walls just like a game of smashing hamsters.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Ping was unhappy, stared at him, and scolded: "Hurry up and go back to work!"

Xia Jingxing had never seen the gentle Jiang Ping swearing at others, and thought he had always had a good temper, but seeing him suddenly lose his temper at this moment, he felt quite strange.

The employees were scolded, and hurriedly retracted their heads like gophers.

Jiang Ping brought Xia Jingxing into the office prepared for him.

As soon as you walk in, you will feel a sense of luxury. The decoration is exquisite and the space is large. Standing next to the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook Wall Street.

After sitting for two minutes, Liu Hai also rushed over.

After asking the secretary to serve three cups of coffee, the three of them sat on the sofa and chatted.

"How's the fundraising going?"

Xia Jingxing crossed his legs and took a sip of coffee.

"It's come to an end."

Liu Hai said with a smile, "Because of the support of past performance and the well-known LP of Waterfall Investment, the subscription is very enthusiastic."

Xia Jingxing put down his cup and said with a smile, "So, the share fee has been set a little lower!"

"It's not too low, it's already 30%. Few on Wall Street dare to charge such a high amount. Only leading hedge funds like Renaissance and Bridgewater have the confidence to charge such a high amount.

Compared with them, after all, we lack some background and time test,

There is still a lack of a big hand to prove itself. "

Liu Hai smiled, "After this operation is over, everyone should know our names."

"No."

Xia Jingxing shook his head, he had already made up his mind, this time the opportunity to show off would be given to another organization.

Liu Hai remembered Xia Jingxing's instructions on the phone, and his eyes dimmed, "Do you really want to give up this chance of becoming famous to another organization?

I know that shorting subprime mortgages has a bad reputation.

However, for rich people and LPs, being able to make money is a skill and a good reputation.

If we bear the reputation of being the biggest victor in subprime mortgages, we will soon become a tens of billions of dollars in hedge funds, and it will not be a big problem to even be among the top ten. "

Liu Hai grew up in the United States, and his thinking is more American.

Jiang Ping was different, he was much more moderate, he shook his head and said, "William, I don't agree with you, this reputation is a poison wrapped in a beautiful coat, we can't eat it.

Face and face can only choose one! "

"How can this be face-saving?"

Liu Hai shook his head like a rattle, "This is also a benefit. Countless people will wave their checks to subscribe for our fund shares."

Xia Jingxing said indifferently: "The tens of billions of funds is not difficult, without this reputation, we can achieve the same.

Let's be on the safe side, hedge funds are only part of my business. "

Hearing this, Liu Hai understood that the boss was still concerned about the bad reputation affecting his other industries.

"Okay, I see."

Liu Hai no longer insisted, nodded and said.

Xia Jingxing looked at Jiang Ping and asked, "How many small hedge funds have acquired?"

"I have already acquired 8 companies. If a fund invests 200 to 300 million US dollars, it is not particularly conspicuous, but if interested people want to check, they can still find out the problem."

Jiang Ping frowned and said, "In addition, these fund offices are distributed all over the United States, and it is impossible for us to move all of them into Trump Tower in a grand manner.

If you disperse employees to work in various places, it will be troublesome to manage. "

"These problems, no matter what method is used, must be properly resolved, and it doesn't matter if you spend more money."

“Because the time to monetize ads is relatively short, our ad delivery platform technology is not so mature compared with other major competitors and needs to be further optimized.

These problems are reflected in the ROI input-output ratio, that is, our data is much weaker than that of several major mature advertising platforms. "

Luo Li spread her hands, "So for some B-end users, Facebook's advertisements are not attractive to a certain extent. When they make advertising budgets, they will be more inclined to give more budgets to other platforms, and Facebook is only used as a platform. Auxiliary or supplementary.

However, any new traffic platform that starts advertising monetization means the release of the bonus period, which is enough to attract some corporate customers to try it out.

What we have to do is to keep these people and let them invest more advertising budget.

In addition, the current advertising market is mainly limited to the United States. Although it has opened up certain markets in various countries, it is not refined enough and has the potential to be further explored..."

Looking at Xue Li who was talking eloquently in front of him, Xia Jingxing nodded secretly in his heart. It was obvious that the other party had done his homework and came prepared, and he had analyzed many problems currently existing in Facebook clearly enough.
