At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Jing Gao went to the School of Economics building in Fudan on time to meet with Professor Wei, the deputy dean of the School of Economics. At the same time, Professor Wei was invited to serve as the strategic committee consultant of the Phoenix Fund.
Professor Wei's graduate student Luo Zhongjun was waiting for Jing Gao downstairs and led him to Professor Wei's office.
The office was full of books and full of academic atmosphere. Professor Wei Shenliang was writing at his desk. Seeing Jing Gao come in, he smiled and said: "Mr. Jing, wait for me for a moment." He continued writing.
Luo Zhongjun made two cups of tea and left. Jing Gao handed him the tea he brought.
Professor Wei was sixty-two years old, with a round face, kind eyes, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. After finishing writing a paragraph of the manuscript, he walked out of the desk and sat on the sofa by the window with Jing Gao. "The old man
"Yes, my memory is not good. I forget easily when my train of thought is interrupted. Please forgive me, Mr. Jing."
Jing Gao said hurriedly: "You're welcome."
Professor Wei invited Jing Gao to drink tea and started chatting with a smile, "I heard Xiao Luo convey the meaning of your Phoenix Fund. Didn't you read a joke on the Internet? The reason why China's economy can rise is that the country's economic policy has always been
Don’t listen to economists.”
Jing Gao laughed and said: "Those who advocate **** and transaction costs are pseudo-experts. You are a real expert."
This paragraph on the Internet is actually a bit of a joke. If economic policies are not formulated by economists, then who should formulate them? Count the people who formulate the five-year development plan at every Beidaihe Economic Conference. How many people are engaged in economics?
of?
The main reason is that there are too many “innovators” in China who give voice to interest groups. Moreover, these “innovators” are still very vocal in the public opinion field.
Professor Ai scolded some of them as bastards. A professor from Peking University said: To this day, there are still poor children who cannot afford to go to college because the tuition fees are too low.
This is a bastard, a son of a bitch! I feel that after reading a few books, I can confuse right and wrong, I can call a deer a horse, and I can challenge people's common sense. Don't you just want to privatize education? So you can make a lot of money.
Similar remarks include: Poor people cannot afford to buy houses because house prices are too low. You all know who said this, right? Chi Guoguo speaks for the interests of real estate developers!
A dean of Peking University named Zhang completely ignored the facts and advocated comprehensive westernization. What facts? Isn’t Russia ****, has their economy done well? There are so many countries in the EU, have their economies done well?
This person later left get out of class.
However, the voices of professors who are really engaged in learning or think tanks who do not hold the title of economist have not raised their voices. This is in line with the consistent characteristics of China for five thousand years. Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious reputation.
People who really do things often don't have a good reputation.
Professor Wei smiled and waved his hand, "I am not an economist. We now all call ourselves scholars who study economics and ordinary investigators."
This was obviously a joke. Jing Gao laughed.
Professor Wei took a sip of tea and said: "Is this strategy committee of yours imitating the Samsung Consortium's 'Future Strategy Office' or Mitsui & Co.'s Strategy Research Institute? If it is to follow Samsung's path, then don't look for scholars to join. Every year in
Just invite a group of scholars within the group to give reports.
If you take the path of Mitsui & Co., I can't agree to it now. After I retire, I can put my name to it."
Idaka was completely confused. He actually wanted to set up a think tank, but how did he know the difference between the strategic research laboratories established by the Samsung Foundation and the Mitsui Foundation?
Professor Wei reacted and said with a smile: "I said it right. It's like this. The 'Future Strategy Office' of Samsung Consortium is similar to the general staff of the consortium. It not only formulates future development strategies, but also manages personnel, auditing, etc.
Group reorganization, mergers and acquisitions.
The Strategic Research Institute of Mitsui & Co. is a think tank they maintain. This think tank is not only engaged in research on economic and industrial issues, but also engaged in policy and intelligence analysis. It provides intellectual support to the Mitsui Foundation."
Idaka understood and said: "My original intention was to build a company like Mitsui & Co. But from what you said, I am afraid that what I urgently need now is a general staff like the Samsung Consortium."
The companies he owns are relatively scattered. In fact, the transfer of internal personnel has not yet become institutionalized. As soon as he heard about the functions of Samsung's "future strategy room", he immediately realized that he urgently needed such an organization and department to help him control the overall situation.
.
Phoenix Fund still focuses on venture capital and asset management. This institutional industry cannot be handled by Zhongrun Company. This company is dedicated to serving him. His real estate and cars are all listed in this company.
Therefore, it should be expanded with Guan Guan’s team of secretaries and turned into his cabinet, Shangshutai.
Professor Wei suggested: “Then focus on actual needs.”
Jing Gao said admonishingly: "Okay. Professor Wei, I also want to ask you something. In the recent US election, Trump vs. Clinton, who will win? Last week there was
A friend came to Shanghai, had dinner together, and talked about this topic. It seemed that everyone had different opinions."
He was talking about Guo Lingyu. Guo Lingyu settled on Hong Kong Island and could easily receive information from the outside world. Chat with him about hot world political and economic topics.
Professor Wei sat back and said with a smile: "This is not an economics topic. This needs to be answered by scholars who specialize in American issues. Professor Shen from Fudan School of International Relations asserted in class in April this year that Trump
The general meeting wins. I will ask Xiao Luo to send you the video of his class later."
"OK."
…
…
After chatting with Professor Wei for an hour, Jing Gao gained a lot and left with satisfaction.
Luo Zhongjun sent Jing Gao downstairs, and happened to meet a few college students walking upstairs, chatting and laughing, what a time of youth! Luo Zhongjun said: "Mr. Jing, Mr. Shen's courseware video is a bit large, I will send it to your mailbox."
"Okay." Jinggao agreed. He was thinking about setting up a "staff department".
Luo Zhongjun hesitated to speak. He was somewhat unsure about his relationship with Qiao Shuang. His master's thesis has been approved and will be published soon. He can start looking for a job in Shanghai immediately. The autumn recruitment is about to begin.
.
And Qiao Shuang's annual salary is 5 million, plus dividends from Phoenix Fund and Uber. It is normal to earn more than 10 million a year. If he gets married, he will definitely be a soft rice. And there is a high probability that he will be a soft rice for the rest of his life.
It cannot be changed. He knows that Qiao Shuang has the trust of Mr. Jing.
Jing Gao didn't know what Luo Zhongjun was thinking. After saying goodbye, he went directly to Gubei No. 1 by car.
In a hotel not far from Gubei No. 1, Jing Gao sorted out his thoughts, wrote an email using the Apple notebook that Fu Ye brought with him, and sent it to Guan Yujia. He asked her to recruit and recruit, with the secretarial team as the backbone.
, established the "Taichu Strategy Research Laboratory".
Copy to Qiao Shuang, Cao Danqing, Xie Wangzhen, Wu Jingshu, An Zhiwen.
This is the first step to integrate the companies under his name into a consortium. Of course, the leaders of the following major companies need to know.
After sending the email, Jing Gao checked the time, approved the English teaching plan he sent to Zhang Li, and asked Fu Ye to arrange for her to join the job. He then called Cheng Yanxi, took a car to Gubei No. 1, and went straight to the door of Cheng's villa.
Cheng Yanxi and Cheng's father, Cheng Herong, were waiting at the door to greet them. Cheng Herong, dressed in a suit, took a few steps forward to greet him, "Mr. Jing, welcome, welcome."
Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with him, and said: "Mr. Cheng, you are very polite. I am very honored to be a guest at your home." After saying that, he asked Fu Ye to bring the two bottles of red wine he had brought. It is not expensive and is produced by Chateau Latour in Bordeaux.
A bottle of red wine sells for 75,000 euros in China.
Xi Siyan's family is engaged in real estate, and its valuation is 80 billion. The family has rich assets. Cheng Yanxi's family also has tens of billions of assets.
Cheng Herong took the red wine from Jing Gao and handed it to his son. After taking him to say hello to Jing Gao, he said: "Mr. Jing, please!"
"please."
Walking into the luxurious living room, Li Herong's wife Fan Ni and daughter Cheng Zhao were waiting, "Mr. Jing, hello." Another introduction and greetings were given.
Cheng Yanxi was already married when he was thirty years old, but his relationship with his wife was not good, so his wife did not appear at this meal.
"You guys chat. I'll go take a look in the kitchen." Fan Ni greeted her and went to the kitchen with a smile. The nanny will help prepare tonight's dishes.
Jing Gao sat down amidst the greetings, sitting on the coffee table in the living room, sipping tea, the fragrance overflowed, and praised: "Mr. Cheng, this is such a good tea."
Cheng Herong, who was in his fifties, said with a smile: "Mr. Ren likes to drink tea, and I often buy some. If Mr. Jing likes it, I will ask you to go to the next tea auction."
Jing Gao said happily: "Okay." As he said that, he felt his phone vibrate. It was an email reply from Guan Yujia and others. He did not read it, but asked: "Cheng Yanxi, is there wifi? I will download a video file."
.”
Cheng Yanxi sat on the sofa opposite Jing Gao and quickly smiled and said: "Yes. Yes. Mr. Jing, I'll report it to you."
Speaking of which, his "experience" during this period was really a bit dreamy. In July, he, Xi Siyan and several other friends accompanied Ren Jiahui to Paris, France to relax for a few days, and met Jing Gao by chance in Paris.
Then, there is this relationship. After Phoenix Fund acquired Uber (China), his father and several uncles decided to block it and invest in Uber. He was ordered to go to the capital to talk to Jing Gao to negotiate the matter. As a result, he was lingering in the capital.
At that time, he learned from Ren Jiahui that Mr. Ren was very optimistic about Jing Gao, so he immediately called back to Shanghai to increase the investment capital to US$400 million.
At that time, it was valued at US$12 billion. Now Uber’s valuation is US$15 billion. When Uber, which has merged with Didi, goes public in the United States, the valuation is estimated to be US$50 billion, right? Will this investment be doubled?
4 times more!
As a result, his father allowed him to divorce and remarry. He would marry the girl he liked. Moreover, other uncles' evaluation of him further rose. He also got the management rights of the financial investment department of Ronghe Group! He was very proud of himself.
And it all started with getting to know Mr. Jing.
Jing Gao connected to the wifi, clicked on the email to download, and said to Cheng Herong: "In the afternoon, I visited Professor Wei from the School of Economics at Fudan University. I asked him about the US election. He recommended that I watch the video of Professor Shen from the School of International Relations.
"
Cheng Herong became more interested in talking and asked curiously: "Oh? Mr. Jing, who do you like?" Magic City is an international metropolis. When he does business here, it is impossible not to pay attention to current affairs. Moreover, such international hot topics have always been
It will affect business.
Jing Gao laughed and said: "The conclusion is that Trump wins. I haven't read the argument yet."
While chatting here, Fan Ni came out to say, "It's time to eat."
