Reborn as a tycoon in Hong Kong

Monday.

New York, Wall Street.

Vivien Kelly walked into a building. Today, the Golden Fleece Company has more than a hundred people in total. Unlike when the company first moved here and only rented one floor, the company now rents three floors in the building. as an office location.

Today, the Golden Fleece Company has more than 100 employees. Not counting the funds that Lin Baicheng asked the Golden Fleece Company to operate, the amount of funds managed by the company is about 5.6 billion U.S. dollars. On Wall Street, which had just entered the 1980s, this was also Not a small company anymore.

Of course, the current Golden Fleece Company is definitely incomparable with investment banking institutions such as Citigroup, Morgan, and Goldman Sachs. There is a fundamental gap in the size of the two parties.

"Manager!" "Good morning, manager!"

When Vivien Kelly took the elevator to the floor where the Golden Fleece Company was located, the two female receptionists immediately stood up and said hello when they saw her.

"Good morning."

Vivien Kelly nodded slightly and walked towards the office.

"manager."

Vivien Kelly's secretary was working outside her office. After seeing her, she also stood up to say hello.

"Rena, how was your weekend?"

Vivien Kelly and her female secretary are not just superiors and subordinates at work. The female secretary is also her and Isabella's school friend, but she is just two years younger than them.

The position of secretary is no different than other positions. She knows a lot about the boss or superiors. Many things need to be kept confidential by the secretary. Therefore, the choice of secretary is very important. In addition to ability, the boss must also have trust in the secretary.

Although Lena was only Vivien Kelly's school girl two years younger, and the two were not related to each other, having an alumnus relationship was better than being completely strangers before.

“A great weekend.”

Reina said: "Manager, the party held by the chairman in Los Angeles should be very lively, right?"

Vivien Kelly said matter-of-factly: "It's definitely going to be lively. All the outstanding executives and talents from the companies under the chairman's name have gone there. There are hundreds of people in total, plus the family members of some of them. How could it not be lively?"

"That's great. I don't know when I can go to the party hosted by the chairman."

Reina was very envious. It would be great if she could attend such a party and leave an impression in front of the chairman.

"If you work hard, you will have opportunities in the future."

Vivien Kelly said with a smile and walked into the office.

Vivien Kelly was busy for a while, and before ten o'clock, she left the office and went to the conference room.

Golden Fleece Company holds a meeting every Monday morning to summarize the work of the previous week and the general arrangements for this week's work, and then discuss and deal with some matters.

In addition to Vivien Kelly, the current executives of Golden Fleece Company include Doug Goldon, Sun Yiyang, Syngel Rehn, and Mendez Carter who are responsible for investment, as well as financial supervision and management. Haruko Mori manages daily affairs.

Although there are six people, an even number, Haruko Mouri has absolute authority in terms of financial supervision and daily affairs management, so the number of senior executives does not have to be an odd number, because there is no time when all senior executives are required to vote.

As for investment, each executive has his or her own quota. After roughly reporting to the big boss how to invest their respective funds, there is no need to report every investment. You can just decide by yourself.

Of course, if you suddenly change your investment decision, or if you invest too much money, you must report it to the big boss.

Just like when Vivien Kelly wanted to enter the market to do long oil futures, she needed to invest a lot of money, so she had to report to the big boss Lin Baicheng and get the support of Lin Baicheng.

In addition, if Vivien Kelly wants to set up a fund, she must report to Lin Baicheng. Only Lin Baicheng can decide whether to let her set up a fund. Other executives, including Haruko Mouri, have no right to support or veto .

When Vivien Kelly came to the conference room, two people were already there, and in the next two or three minutes after she came, the remaining three people came over one after another.

When all six executives arrived in the conference room, it was almost ten o'clock in the morning.

Although everyone is a manager and has the same level, Haruko Mori supervises finances and manages daily affairs, so she leads and initiates meetings, which is considered to be half a level higher than others.

"Good morning everyone, let's get started."

Haruko Maori didn't waste any time. After sitting down, she said directly: "In addition to the regular weekly meeting today, I have another important thing to announce, but before that, let's deal with some things first."

"There is something important to announce, what is it?"

After hearing what Haruko Mouri said, the five people, including Vivien Kelly, couldn't help but be a little confused.

The routine meeting passed slowly amid everyone's doubts.

This week's meeting, there are two main things related to Vivien Kelly. First, she led the remaining long oil futures orders to be disposed of as soon as possible, and finally completed all shipments this week; second, the fund she led to establish was not very successful in raising funds, so it was best to think of another way.

The processing of long orders in oil futures is simple. There are not many left. Vivien Kelly can complete the shipment this week.

However, there is some trouble in raising funds for the fund. She was the one who said she wanted to raise 50 million U.S. dollars, but now she has raised less than 20 million U.S. dollars. It is basically impossible to raise 30 million U.S. dollars in less than half a month. Tens of millions of dollars. If this happens, it will cause a big blow to her prestige.

After all, Vivien Kelly was too confident at the time, thinking that the multiple profits from long oil futures operations would make investors invest their money in the fund she led. Unexpectedly, her gender and qualifications still made it difficult for investors to invest. It is difficult for investors to trust her, so not many people are willing to subscribe to the fund, and the amount of funds subscribed is not large.

Of course, Vivien Kelly will not give up easily. What she has to do is continue to raise funds in the next half month, and it is best to raise US$50 million. If that doesn't work, the closer to $50 million, the better. The more funds raised, the less impact it will have on her prestige.

Vivien Kelly wants to go further and manage more money, and her gender must make her more successful and better than Doug Goldon and others, otherwise there is no need to think about Doug Goldon and others at all. Will convince her.

"If nothing else, that's it for this week's regular meeting."

More than half an hour passed, and everything that needed to be said was said. Haruko Mouri looked around at the other five people sitting there.

"There's nothing else to do."

For Vivien Kelly and others, they are now curious about what Haruko Mouri is going to announce.

"Then let's talk about what I want to announce."

Seeing this, Haruko Maori looked at the crowd and said, "I am very happy to work with you all during this time. Because the chairman has other arrangements for my work, I will resign from the company."

"Resignation?!"

Vivien Kelly and others exclaimed, not expecting this to happen.

"Since Mouri Haruko has resigned, then"

After being surprised, the five people couldn't help but feel moved. Now that Mouri Haruko has resigned, her position must be replaced by someone, and the replacement is likely to be one of the five of them. Everyone has a chance.

"good."

Maori Haruko nodded. She scanned the five people and guessed what they were thinking. She felt a little funny and said loudly: "Since the establishment of the company, there has been no president to manage the company. This time I leave, the company will Recruit a president to manage the company's affairs. At the same time, personnel and finance will be formally separated, and the finance chairman will be transferred from Xiangjiang."

"Recruiting a CEO from outside?"

After hearing this, the five people's hearts felt cold, and their newly raised hopes were immediately dashed.

Maori Haruko said: "The president recruited this time must be an industry insider, have relevant work experience, and be about to retire. Not to mention that the chairman has not given you a chance, the new president is about to retire, and his tenure in the company will only last three to five years. , after the new president steps down, the chairman will definitely give priority to promotion from within the company, so everyone must perform well during this period."

After hearing this, Zinger Renn and Mendez Carter were a little happy. After all, they were the last to enter the company, and their current performance is not higher than the other three. Therefore, if the president is promoted from within If so, the chances of the two of them are far less than the other three.

But it will be different in three to five years. Everyone's qualifications are not much different, and what matters most is definitely performance and ability. Their opportunities are actually greater than now.

At the same time, Vivien Kelly also became happy after being depressed. She is very aware of her disadvantages. Not to mention her gender, age is also a disadvantage. But in another three to five years, the age disadvantage will not be so great. Once she has achieved higher performance than others in the past few years, , then her possibility of ascending to the throne will be greatly increased.

Doug Golden and Sun Yiyang were a little disappointed, but it was not unacceptable. After all, they had only joined Golden Fleece Company for about a year, and they were not big players in the industry before. There was no reason for them to take charge of a company so quickly. A company with hundreds of millions of dollars in assets under management.

"If you have any good recommendations for the new president, just tell me and I will conduct interviews one by one, and the chairman will finally determine the candidate."

"Also, in addition to the new president, the positions to be recruited this time include personnel managers, public relations consultants, legal specialists, market analysts, intelligence specialists, etc."

"I think everyone is very clear that the Golden Fleece Company, which has only been established for more than a year, still has many shortcomings. Many departments have not been established or equipped. This time, with the confirmation of the new president, relevant departments will be established."

"The company will not only compete with investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Citigroup in the future, but also develop into a large financial institution, so it must have all the necessary departments. If you have any outstanding talents, please recommend them."

"As the company develops, your treatment will be better, which is good for everyone."

Maori Haruko said aloud that Golden Fleece Company is not formal enough and its structure is incomplete. After discussing with Lin Baicheng, she decided to take advantage of this opportunity to recruit a new president to set up some departments, so they are very hungry for talents. .

Of course, the recruitment of other positions will be postponed until the president takes office. At that time, Haruko Mouri and the new president will interview employees for other positions. After all, these people will assist the new president in managing the company in the future, so it is best to recruit employees in a systematic way. New president involved.

"I will try my best!"

Vivien Kelly immediately spoke out. The company is recruiting a large number of talents. She will definitely use this opportunity to recommend alumni or other people she knows and take the opportunity to expand her network. There are a large number of people she knows working in the company, which increases her power in a disguised way. How could she let go of this opportunity?

"I'll send out invitations to some friends."

Doug Goldon followed closely behind. No one is stupid, and he naturally saw the opportunity.

Others also said one by one that they would recommend talents to come to the company for interviews.

"Well, if there's nothing else, today's meeting ends here."

Maori Haruko announced the adjournment of the meeting, and the six people left separately.

A moment after Maori Haruko returned to the office, Sun Yiyang came to Maori Haruko's office.

"Manager Sun is here."

Regarding Sun Yiyang's arrival, Maori Haruko did not have any surprises.

In the Golden Fleece Company, Sun Yiyang has the intention to move closer to Maori Haruko, but the two have equal positions and are still in a cooperative relationship. Only when Maori Haruko becomes Mrs. Lin or reaches a higher position will Sun Yiyang move closer to Maori Haruko.

Otherwise, it would not be getting closer, but cooperation.

After sitting down, Sun Yiyang asked: "Maori Manager, which company will you work for after leaving the company?"

"The chairman made a lot of money from his last investment. Those funds need someone to take care of them. I will be responsible for the management and investment of part of the funds."

Maori Haruko roughly said that she also hoped that Sun Yiyang would continue to support her in the future, so she wanted Sun Yiyang to know that she was promoted to a high position.

Sun Yiyang said immediately: "Then I would like to congratulate the gross profit manager. The chairman really trusts the gross profit manager."

"Thanks."

Maori Haruko smiled, and then said: "Manager Sun will have to work harder in the next few years to achieve results. Only in this way will you have greater opportunities after the new president steps down."

"Manager Sun, you have one advantage compared to others, and that is your Chinese identity. This is a disadvantage in other companies, but in our company it is the other way around."

"However, I remember that Manager Sun grew up here in the United States and does not know much about Eastern or even Chinese culture. If Manager Sun wants to reach a higher position in his career as chairman, he needs to know more about Chinese culture. Just understand.”

In Maori Haruko's view, Sun Yiyang is a potential candidate who can support her in the future, so she does not hesitate to remind her.

"Thank you, Manager Maori, for reminding me. I know."

Sun Yiyang nodded to express that he understood that on Wall Street, he would have a better future only if he worked under Lin Baicheng, a Chinese boss. At least he would not have the ceiling of other financial companies, and he could reach as high a position as he could with his abilities.

"This is a rare opportunity. If you have any alumni or friends, please recommend them to work in the company to improve your voice."

Maori Haruko said out loud that under the same conditions, she would definitely not mind helping Sun Yiyang.

“Thank you to the Maori manager for your support.”

This is what Sun Yiyang wants. The increase in his voice will help him become the president of Golden Fleece Company in the future.
