Chapter 78: Will Only Ask for Recommendation

Wu Danyang is less than forty years old this year, and he is considered young and promising in the financial circle. When he saw Zhou Ziye, he couldn't help touching his already blessed abdomen, and sighed that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed forward waves. If he hadn't talked to Qu Li on the phone before Zhou Midnight came, he would have been unbelievable that this young man who looked like a college student was also a master of investment.

Zhou Ziye knew him very well. He knew a lot of his historical deeds, education, and work experience, including his later spending more than two million US dollars for lunch with Buffet. In short, this is a steady but not lacking passionate person.

The company is still in the preparatory stage. Except for the reception staff, the office of more than 200 square meters is still empty. Many of Wu Danyang's offices are also very large, only about 20 square meters. A large desk occupies almost half of the space. After all, they are all for investment. You need to put several computers on a desk, plus office work. The location, the small desk is really not enough.

Wu Danyang brought Zhou Ziye into his office and said with a smile: "The company is still in the preparation stage, and the conditions are simple, so please don't take offense."

Zhou Ziye smiled and said, "Mr. Wu is too modest. It is very good to have such an office in Zhonghuan, a place like this. I have not yet set up an office in such a place."

Wu Danyang laughed and asked Zhou Ziye to sit down on the sofa next to him and said, "Please sit down, please sit down. We are in no way in this business. If you don't make the facade better, who dares to give you the funds? Use it."

The secretary brought in two cups of coffee and then backed out. Wu Danyang said again: "If it wasn't for Miss Qu's introduction, I really can't believe that Mr. Zhou had just come out of the mainland. It is said that your return on investment here is very gratifying."

Zhou Ziye smiled and said, "It's all luck. No one can guarantee that you will make a profit without losing money when you make an investment."

"Since Mr. Zhou is walking with me, I am a bit weird. I don't know where we have the opportunity to cooperate?"

Zhou Ziye glanced around, put his gaze on Wu Danyang's face, and said with a smile: "It's true that I am not interested in the company's cooperation, but I admire you, Mr. Wu, and want to talk to Wu Danyang. There is always a deeper level of cooperation."

"Zhou always has something to say directly."

Zhou Ziye nodded and said, "I don't know how high Mr. Wu's expectations of this company are? Are you interested in co-founding an investment company comparable to red shirts?

. Moreover, we will not raise external financing for this company, and rely entirely on our own capital investment. "

Wu Danyang thought for a while and said: "To be honest, if we can have such a company, it is almost the dream of all investors, but we must know that it is almost impossible to continue healthy development with our own capital. Because this requires too much capital. Except for some sovereign funds, few companies in the world can develop entirely on their own funds. Sovereign funds care not about making money, but about the safety and preservation of funds. Our goal is Taking risks to get high interest rates is contrary to this. Only relying on our own funds, we may be able to develop slowly, but after all, the speed of development will be very slow. I would take the liberty to ask Mr. Zhou, what you said about self-owned How much money is there?"

Zhou Ziye stretched out a finger and said: "Before May next year, I will invest 1 billion U.S. dollars, and you only need to work for this company for ten years, and you will get 5% of the transferable equity in this company. In addition, the salary for the first year is 10 million U.S. dollars, and it will increase by 10% every year. The price is that you merge this unformed company into my company."

"Billion dollars?!" Wu Danyang said with a daze: "Excuse me, I am not sure if you are joking, or if you represent the country. I don't know when there will be a strong investor like you in China? "

Zhou Ziye directly called Walker, his financial expert at UBS, and said in an amplified mode: "Mr. Walker, please count the funds in all my current investment accounts, and then give me a roughly accurate figure."

"Mr. Zhou, this will take about 20 minutes. We need several accountants to make statistics on your contract."

Zhou Ziye said: "Thank you Mr. Walker, I am waiting for your call." Hanging up the phone, Zhou Ziye said: "I can tell you clearly, I only represent myself, and no one else. I'm okay. What I'm telling you is that before the results come out, my total investment capital is 10 million U.S. dollars. Besides, this is not a joke."

Wu Danyang is also a person who has seen the world. Although he has not digested the news, he has recovered his calm. Asked: "We didn't know each other half an hour ago. Why did you think of asking me to be the person in charge of your company? According to your conditions just now, you can invite 90% of the world's professional managers. ."

Zhou Ziye nodded and said: "I have many reasons. First of all, we are all Chinese. In this investment, although I can trust the ethics of most professional managers, I prefer this manager with professional ethics to be Chinese

. Secondly, your investment talent has been confirmed in both Merrill Lynch and Guotai, indicating that you are the talent I need. Third, you have a wealth of management experience, and I am very confident that you can manage such a company well. Fourth, you have a broad network of people in the industry, and you can quickly find talents that your company needs. Fifth, you happened to resign and walked to me at this time. This is a chance. Do I need to keep talking? "

Wu Danyang couldn't help but laughed and looked at Zhou Ziye and said: "I admit that your conditions have moved me a little. This is a job with a high return, but I want to do it myself after all. I think, In many ways we still lack communication."

"Yes, so we now have a lot of time to talk frankly and honestly."

Wu Danyang nodded and asked, "I probably know one thing about your source of funds. It is your investment in the international market. I don't want to ask you how you can turn 10 million into the billion you said. What I want to know is, The source of this tens of millions?"

His worry is reasonable. If Zhou Ziye's ten million is black money, this company will definitely not last long. Zhou Ziye said: "I come from Yunshan. In Yunshan, my family owns a large coal mine with a coal output of 5,000 tons. Therefore, the source of funds for this tens of millions is a normal source, and there is nothing to criticize. ."

Wu Danyang asked again: "Ten million becomes one billion, and only the futures market can do it. At this stage, the projects you operate through UBS are nothing more than foreign exchange and London gold, because now the international market only has this. Two kinds of crude oil. Iron ore has so many floating market surpluses. You can directly operate crude oil and iron ore in Singapore without going through UBS. Am I right?"

Zhou Ziye nodded and said, "Exactly correct."

He didn't feel complacent, and said: "Your specialty is in the futures market, but my specialty is in the securities, stocks and trust markets. Although I also know a little about foreign exchange, but for the gambling behavior of the futures index, I have no guts to try. I want to ask you about the main business direction of this company in the future."

Zhou Ziye pondered for a while and said: "My original purpose was to make money through the operation of the futures market, and then invest in the resource industry, and adjust the direction of the futures market under the control of the resource industry. Of course, this is the final stage of development. Goal. Therefore, investment company is a tool for me to make money. However, one thing I can guarantee is that I can keep at least one billion US dollars in the investment company's account forever. Except for the investment direction and the final For financial hedging, I will not add too much control to the company. In other words, you will do the daily investment management work, and I will not interfere."

Wu Danyang said: "If I am a manager of the company, this is indeed my job power, which should be controlled by me.

. I have raised almost 20 million U.S. dollars now. Although there is still a gap between the 50 million I expected, can I join the company's projects with the 20 million capital? "

Zhou Ziye shook his head and said, "What I hope is that you can set up a separate department to be responsible for the operation of this part of the capital. I can set a deadline of one year. Within one year, if the company operates The direction and strategy are not in line with your ideas. You can leave with the funds. I will pay 10 million U.S. dollars in salary and 5 million U.S. dollars in compensation. If one year later, you think this company will be your life An important opportunity, if you don't leave, then you can return the funds to the investors, because you don't need to rely on the commissions of the funds for development."

Wu Danyang nodded and said: "A very reasonable request, I will consider it carefully."

Zhou Ziye's phone rang, and Zhou Ziye saw that it was Walker's, so he answered with PA. Walker used his pure German to report the financial data of Zhou Midnight, word by word. "Mr. Zhou, according to the closing data of the London market yesterday, all the contracts you currently have after opening a position, excluding stamp duties and handling fees, have a book value of about 145.3 million U.S. dollars, with a difference of 100,000 U.S. dollars. ."

Zhou Ziye said, "Thank you, Mr. Walker."

"Mr. Zhou, it is my job to serve you, you are welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Ziye said, "This call has no meaning except to prove my current financial ability. After you think about it, whether you want to cooperate with me or not, I hope you can answer me as soon as possible."

Wu Danyang smiled and said, "Of course. Time is money. This is the consensus of all financial workers."

Zhou Ziye stood up with satisfaction and stretched out his hand to him and said: "I hope you can make the right choice after investigating my economic strength. Of course, with your ability, an investment company can be profitable, but Sometimes, the sense of accomplishment is more important."

Wu Danyang smiled and said, "I will definitely consider it carefully after the comprehensive inspection."

The two shook hands, Zhou Ziye turned and left. Wu Danyang had been sending Zhou Ziye to the parking lot downstairs. He was a little excited when he watched Zhou Ziye's car leave, and shook his head a little funny. The excitement was that he actually felt a little excitement, and the funny thing was that he was actually excited. He can be regarded as a successful person, and he was actually impressed by a young man, which really made him feel a little funny.
