Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Early the next morning, Clay Clark began to contact Wall Street fund companies in Japan; the boss wanted to take the initiative in the evening meeting, and as a subordinate, of course he could not let him down. It is inevitable for Blackstone Fund to make money. As for the Bank of Japan, it is more about making a clear attitude; this is Japan, and things must be done in accordance with their rules.

In fact, there is another crucial point. Although Blackstone Fund is an American company, Bao Zixuan is not an American, which means that the American blood is not so pure. If it were other American companies, it would be a different matter. Now, as long as Japan does not go too far, the US government will basically choose to turn a blind eye; only Mie Yeyasu dared to do this.

If it were a company controlled by American capital, the old boy would definitely have some scruples; whether he admits it or not, this is an indisputable fact.

As an old man who has worked on Wall Street for many years, although he does not usually communicate and have much contact with major fund managers; Wall Street is only so big, they are all in the same circle, and they all know each other.

If there is any fund company that Clay Clark has the most familiar relationship with, it is definitely Hawkins Fund. I have worked in the company for many years, and the trader in Japan was my original colleague.

Although Phil Hawkins' relationship with Bao Zixuan is no longer as close as before, he is not at all ambiguous about making money. Especially after marrying a girl from the Rockefeller family, I want to prove myself in front of the bride’s family, so my work attitude is still very serious.

Since Best Selling, many investments have not included him. Whether it is investing in the super large passenger aircraft project in the UK or the Fucaira development plan, it seems that they have been forgotten. Of course Phil Hawkins knew what was going on; when he chose to side with the Rockefeller family, he should have known what the outcome would be.

But seeing Bao Zixuan conquering cities and territories in the world, he could only rely on his original resources and investment to make money; there had been basically no new profit growth points for so many years, and he had not invested in any high-quality projects. Naturally, he felt very unwilling in his heart.

As the agent channels of Heiyun Group become more and more formalized, many products have begun to be operated by themselves; flagship stores have been opened in well-known cities around the world. There may still be a little profit now, but once Bao Zixuan completes its layout, Heiyun's bowl of rice will not be so delicious in the future.

Opening up new markets and new projects has always been something Phil Hawkins has been thinking about. Seeing that the Japanese stock market and real estate market were so booming, he learned that Bao Zixuan's Blackstone Fund had already deployed in Japan; he had never doubted his former friend's vision. Of course, Hawkins Fund could not let go of such a good opportunity and immediately decided to fully enter the Japanese market.

Although it has not been in the market for a long time, due to the large scale of funds and the rapid growth of the Japanese property market and stock market in the past two years, the data on the books are very eye-catching; the reputation and profits have indeed increased a lot.

Unlike Black Cloud Fund, which all comes from Bao's personal assets, most fund companies on Wall Street have financing channels. In other words, a large amount of their funds come from fixed investment from investors.

Seeing that the company's performance in the past two years has been so impressive, investors have made a lot of money; many people with spare money are willing to invest their funds in Hawkins Fund. Hawkins Fund Company, which originally wanted to compete in Japan, is willing to accept everyone who comes. As long as someone dares to invest, any money will be received.

According to market expectations, the Japanese real estate market still has room to at least double its growth in the short term, and the same is true for the stock market. Capital's pursuit of profit is the same in any country, and Wall Street capital has demonstrated it vividly. The fund managers who came to Japan were as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood. They were very excited when they saw the wealth in their accounts increasing every day.

The head of Japan at Hawkins Fund Company is named Olga, who was a colleague of Clay Clark before. When the two entered Hawkins Investment Company together, it can be said that they have always been in a competitive relationship. Although Wall Street fund companies have to compete with other companies, internal competition is equally fierce. After all, resources and funds are limited. If you cannot grasp it, you will be eliminated soon.

When I saw Clay Clark visiting, I didn't know what was going on; but as an old friend and a member of Wall Street Capital, of course I couldn't turn him away.

The secretary made coffee for the two of them and then left. Olga smiled and said: "Clay, you are a famous person now; why do you have time to come to my place?"

Although I was very unconvinced, I thought the other party was just lucky. If he had gone to the Blackstone Fund and conquered the world with Bao Zixuan, he would definitely not have done worse than the guy in front of him, or even better.

But there are no ifs in the world, and we can't go back to the past; it is reasonable to be envious and jealous at the same time.

It is precisely because of his outstanding performance at Blackstone that Clay Clark has been among the top ten fund managers on Wall Street in recent years. The top ten fund managers on Wall Street, also known as the top ten professional managers, have always been the targets of other fund managers.

On the other hand, let alone becoming a top ten fund manager, he is not even qualified to be shortlisted; after all, he is not the president of Hawkins Fund Company, and there are others above him.

Fortunately, I got the opportunity to come to Japan, so I can take charge of my own business; and I have been proving myself to the world for two years, which is also an achievement.

But everyone has ambitions, especially men who work on Wall Street. Seeing my former colleagues achieve such high achievements, I naturally feel dissatisfied. People are selfish. When you see people around you being better than you, your heart may become distorted.

Olga had long known that this former colleague was in Japan; however, due to various reasons, she had never taken the initiative to visit him. Meeting an old friend in a foreign country is always a blessing in life; and the two of them have worked together for many years, and they still have some friendship; besides, Clay Clark has been living in Japan for a few years, so it would be a good idea to go and ask some questions.

But this kid just didn't, maybe his pride was still at play.

Clay Clark said with a smile: "Actually, I have wanted to come over for a long time, but I have been very busy, so I was delayed."

This is definitely an excuse. I can keep busy for two years; I may not even believe it after saying it. But there is no better way to say it now, it’s just to make each other look good.

Of course Olga understood what this meant and didn't care about the other party's hypocrisy. The old boy must have something to do when he comes here, otherwise he would never show up in person. Everyone knows each other, and there is no point in hiding it deliberately.

Since Clay Clark didn't take the initiative to say it, he wasn't in a hurry. After all, the Bank of Japan has said hello in the past two days, there is no need to think about which company's stock to buy; nor do you want to make the other party unhappy because of this trivial matter; the county magistrate is not as good as the current manager, everyone understands this truth.

Olga said with a smile: "We are all workers, and we all work hard. As friends, of course we can understand."

On the surface, they are getting closer, but in reality, they want to tell each other that everyone is the same, regardless of whether you are the president of Blackstone Fund or one of the top ten fund managers on Wall Street. But Po Datian is just like us, he is just a part-time worker, so don’t act like a CEO.

Of course Clay Clark understands what it means, but it seems that this kid still can't let go. But it’s normal to think about it, and I guess it would be the same if it were me.

Clay Clark changed the topic and said very seriously: "Olga, although I don't want to admit it, your analysis level and prediction ability are indeed better than mine, so I came here to ask for advice from the bottom of my heart."

"Do you think there is still room for Japan's economy to continue to rise? Can the stock market and property market surge as before?"

What does "old boy" mean? His posture is so low; people really don't expect it. If I just came here to ask for advice, I would definitely not come in person. There must be something else going on here, and the purpose of asking this question is to bring up other topics.

Although I knew that the drunkard's intention was not to drink, but since he had already asked the question and kept his attitude so low, it was not good to just not answer anything.

Even if you know that the other party has other back-up plans waiting for you, you still have to see what kind of medicine is being sold in the gourd!

Olga smiled and said: "It's really frustrating to me. We entered the industry at the same time and have worked together for many years. You, brother, know best what my level is. Don't say that next time."

"But since you mentioned the issue about Japan's economy, it's really hard to answer. After all, we are all foreigners, and the most important thing is to make money and leave. I really don't care that much about the future of Japan's economy. But I feel that there is still no chance in the short term. Regardless of any issue, the Japanese hold an absolute advantage in many industries.

"It is absolutely irreplaceable in the short term. After all, where is the technical foundation?"

"As for whether there is still room for growth in the stock market and property market, through comprehensive investigation and analysis, it feels like there is still a lot to do!"

In fact, Olga knew that Clay Clark naturally knew these data very well. After all, Blackstone Fund’s investment in intelligence is definitely stronger than theirs. Moreover, Bao Zixuan has invested a lot in Japan before, so he must know more about some policies than they do.

He knew he couldn't get anything out of the question, and Clay Clark didn't expect to get any clear answer. This is good now. At least the economy is still on an upward trend, and both the stock market and the property market still have room to rise; these are enough!
