Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 46 Investing Genius

…

Buddy Morris moved fairly quickly, setting up the crew in just two days, and the suburban villa wasn't hard to find in Los Angeles. James Wing also lives up to his reputation as a master of horror and a sharpshooter, although this is all later, but you have to admit that some people are born better than most in some respects.

Within three days, he had found the actors and came up with the script together with Ray Warner. The reason why it is so fast is also due to the fact that there are only a few actors, and apart from the two protagonists, there are basically not many other scenes.

"I said it before!"

"Yes...but don't!"

"...I just let you know I'm crying inside!"

"Crack...!"

Seeing Wen Ziren who took the initiative to walk over after the call to stop, and explained the lines to the beautiful heroine whom Guo Shouyun had specially found, Guo Shouyun nodded secretly.

Through these days' observations, although Wen Ziren is in charge of the director for the first time, the things he shoots can meet his quality requirements for the film. And it didn't waste too much film, which was enough.

"Jingle Bell…!"

Hearing the phone ringing, Guo Shouyun took a look and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, is this Mr. Bruce Guo?"

"I'm!"

"Hello, I'm Korn Ferry's headhunter Steve Levine!"

"Hello. My assistant told me you're doing well now!"

"Thank you for your compliment. The target person decided to fly to Los Angeles to meet you in person. The time will be at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon at the Cabana private club! The target person likes to play billiards, and we will contract the pool hall there."

"Okay, I'll listen to your arrangement!"

Guo Shouyun nodded.

"See you tomorrow then!"

"See you tomorrow!"

After hanging up the phone, Guo Shouyun thought about it for a while, and did not disturb Wen Ziren's shooting, and left the studio quietly.

…

In order to win the top talent of Huaxia's venture capital industry to join him, Guo Shouyun, who returned to the hotel, prepared what he was going to talk about the next day. Until everything felt right, I turned on the computer and processed the company documents accumulated in the mailbox, and continued to write my own novel.

In addition to "Pirates of the Caribbean," "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," "Fifty Shades of Grey," "National Treasure," and "Smart: Ghost Recording," he just finished the Fast and the Furious No. 1 in June department. Now in early July, the novel he is writing is The Hangover 1!

Guo Shouyun put on the custom-made high-end suit that he brought specially, put on the watch of Vacheron Constantin, and dressed up carefully. After showing that he attached great importance to the meeting, he drove the Lincoln car rented from the car rental company. We arrived at the meeting place we had agreed to meet yesterday.

"Hello, Mr. Guo. I'm Steve Levine."

After Guo Shouyun parked the car, Steve Levine, who was waiting at the door, quickly greeted him.

"Hello!" The two sides simply shook hands.

"Is he here?"

"It's already here, and it's being accompanied by our people!"

"Let's go!" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.

"Mr. Guo, please!"

Guo Shouyun was not polite. A horse took the lead, striding in front of the meteor.

Although the "Cabana Private Club" is the top social venue in Los Angeles, there is no door at all for Korn Ferry, one of the world's top five executive searchers.

When he came to the top floor of the clubhouse, Guo Shouyun briefly browsed the surrounding environment and was introduced to a luxuriously decorated billiard hall by Steve Levine.

When the two of them pushed the door and came in, the people who were playing inside also stopped after hearing the movement.

Guo Shouyun's eyes quickly swept across the Korn Ferry headhunter who was playing with him. He focused his attention on holding a club. He was wearing a dark blue suit and black-rimmed glasses. On the young man of light.

While he was looking at each other, Zhang Lei was also looking at the young man in front of him with a calm temperament and a sense of vicissitudes in his deep eyes. Of course, he would come over and do some homework on the people who poached him.

Apart from Guo Shouyun's experience as a scholar with a third degree from Stanford University, what really made him decide to come over and meet with the other party was a description of the future Internet development written by the other party. Not much content, just a thousand words. But it is indeed a force to change the world in these thousand words. At a time when the Nasdaq crisis and the world are not optimistic about the Internet, it is especially curious where the confidence of the other party comes from?

"Mr. Zhang, this is the Mr. Bruce Guo you've always wanted to know!" Steve Levin said.

"I'm Guo Shouyun. I'm glad you can come, Mr. Zhang Lei!"

Guo Shouyun took two steps forward, and while smiling, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand towards the other party.

"I didn't expect Mr. Guo's Mandarin to be so standard, it's surprising!" Zhang Lei said in surprise.

"My adoptive father taught me since I was a child. And I am of Chinese descent, so naturally I have a strong interest in Huaxia. Of course, from a businessman's point of view, I am optimistic about the future economic development of Huaxia, fluent language can help me the fastest, and at the same time Also get to know her most directly and join in!"

After the two shook hands, they smiled at each other. The first time they met, they left a good impression on each other.

"Mr. Guo, Mr. Zhang, since the two have met, then our mission is completed. Then you can speak freely here, we will not disturb!" Steve Levin said.

"You have done a great job, thank you!" Guo Shouyun nodded.

"This is what we should do as headhunters! Let's talk slowly, we're going out first!"

After bowing slightly to the two of them, Steve Levine left with his colleagues.

As the door of the room closed, Guo Shouyun smiled and said to Zhang Lei, "I heard that you like to play billiards. How about I play a shot with you?"

"OK!"

Zhang Lei nodded, and after repositioning the ball with Guo Shouyun, he quickly started a game.

"Snapped…!"

The red ball quickly entered the nest, but unfortunately Guo Shouyun missed when he scored another 2 points. But already very good, he has scored three goals in a row.

"Mr. Guo often plays snooker?"

"I played for a while before!"

Before his rebirth, he had fought with colleagues for a long time after he moved from Quancheng to Modu to work. Although it's been a few years now. Fortunately, technology hasn't regressed too much.

Zhang Lei nodded, and after hitting his shot, "Has Mr. Guo ever been to China?"

"No! I've always wanted to go, but I'm too busy during this time to take the chance! However, China will be my most frequented country besides the United States in the future!"

"why?"

"I am a Chinese, and in terms of blood, China is my motherland. In addition, the economies of all countries in the world are not as dynamic as the Chinese economy. I am optimistic about her future development. In another 10 years, this will It is the largest economy outside of the United States. In another 20 years, she will be able to match the United States. So, whether it is from a bloodline or a business point of view, I have to pay great attention to her.”

"In the United States, it is rare for someone to have such confidence in the Chinese economy as Mr. Guo!" Zhang Lei said after staring at Guo Shouyun for a while.

After smiling, "Do you know why I dug you?"

"Appreciate further details!"

"First, you were born and raised in China and understand the business logic there. Second, you studied at Huaxia Renmin University and Yale University, and your classmates are top figures in various industries, which means you have enough connections and abilities. Third, you have worked in the Yale Endowment Fund and have some experience in the financial industry. Fourth, you are young enough, only twenty-eight years old, with enough time, energy, determination, and industry enterprising spirit to fight for your career. This is financial A must-have for industry elites. Fifth, and most importantly, you are good enough to be the most suitable genius in the investment industry!”

Looking at Guo Shouyun's undisguised admiring gaze, although Zhang Lei's face did not change much, his heart was quite uneasy. The excitement of being valued, the pride of being recognized, haunts my chest.

"So in the future my work will be entirely in China?"

"Yes and no!"

"How to say?"

"It's very simple, I intend to let you manage the investment business of China Hua Capital in China, but this does not mean that companies outside China cannot invest. I don't want to limit your talent, if you If you feel that India, Southeast Asia or the United States have suitable investment targets, you can make your own decisions. As long as the loss does not exceed 20%, I will not interfere in your management of the company.”

Zhang Lei nodded thoughtfully.

"The headhunter said to me, can I manage a $30 million fund?"

"Not bad. At present, there are three funds under Hanhua Capital. They are 'Lichun Fund', 'Rainwater Fund' and 'Jingzhe Fund'. 'Lichun Fund' is a private equity fund with an existing capital of 10 million US dollars, and its investment direction is the Internet sector. .'Rainwater Fund' is a closed-end mutual fund with a capital of 10 million US dollars, and its investment direction is the technology sector. 'Jingzhe Fund' is a real estate fund, which also has a capital of 10 million US dollars. In addition, I will give you another 1.2 million US dollars as a corporate fund. Operating funds, used to lease office space, recruit the employees you need, etc. Fund management method 2+20, that is, 2% dividends and 20% management fee income! As the CEO of the company, you can take the income of all funds to a 2% dividend."

After a pause, Guo Shouyun looked at Zhang Lei with a thoughtful face, "I think my sincerity is enough. Apart from me, no other company will give you such a large amount of autonomy and capital usage!"

Zhang Lei nodded silently. At his current age, there are very few funds in the financial industry who can manage a fund of more than 30 million US dollars and more than 200 million Chinese currency. Just like his Yale MBA classmates, most of them are still in the stage of gaining qualifications and accumulating experience.

However, all of a sudden took over so much money. Happiness is of course, but there is still a heavy pressure in his heart! He is very clear that the pay and the return are equal. Guo Shouyun invested money in him, gave him freedom, but also got corresponding rewards.
