Of course, Bloomberg would not easily decide to start a news agency immediately. Tao Zhiming just used this topic to get to know him first.

After lunch, he and Tao Yaren sent Bloomberg to the door. Tao Zhiming vaguely heard him saying that he was going to the company after getting in the car. He also looked at his watch to make his judgment more sure.

Bloomberg is very busy. I am afraid that the financial industry in Huajie is now worried about next year's general election and will not elect someone with completely opposite political views to the current leader. The reins of the financial industry have been loosened. Who would be happy to be taken in again?

tight?

As the car drove away, Tao Yaren asked: "We will leave for Idali tomorrow, so what do you want to do with the rest of the day today?"

"Let's adjust. I came from Los Angeles in advance, because I'm afraid there will be aftershocks there." Tao Zhiming rubbed his temples, "It's better to have a bit of jet lag. In just a few days, I have to circle the earth."

"That's right." Tao Yaren was silent for a moment, "For the acquisition of Japanese VA, the 50 million yuan is beyond its actual value. Brother, I understand what you mean. Don't worry, I will take care of the fund you mentioned.

Determine it as soon as possible. The rate of return does not need to be 20%, 15% is enough."

Tao Zhiming understood. Tao Yaren thought that he was selling his face by agreeing to the purchase price of 50 million yuan, so he became more and more concerned about expanding his own small treasury. Before, he must have had his own private

Benefits. But in this era of increasing financial power, what could be more hidden and more efficient than using finance to make money? And he happened to meet the "wizard" Tao Zhiming.

The reduction in the guaranteed rate of return was probably just a matter of getting along with Tao Zhiming. In other words, when Tao Zhiming met with Hector in Idali, this was the number he was told.

Tao Yaren himself wants to gain a little more alone. Although the implication is that he does not need to monopolize as much as 5%, he has the courage to monopolize two or three percentage points, and this courage is not small.

If there are billions of dollars or even tens of billions of dollars in capital in the future, he may be able to swallow up two to three billion a year.

"I understand, then Yaren-kun, I'll be waiting for your good news." Tao Zhiming said again, "Hector is not old, and as long as he is packaged properly, he will be a man of the hour in the United States. Yaren-kun, you know this best.

, should be able to guide him well."

Tao Yaren smiled happily, he really understood this aspect.

After Tao Yaren also left, Tao Zhiming in the United States only had to wait until tomorrow morning to cross the Atlantic and go to Idali. The flight time on the way would be 13 hours, taking into account the time difference between Idali and New York.

As for the boarding and customs time, if you leave in the morning, it will happen to be the local morning when you arrive, so you can be busy with things.

Then I have to be able to have a good sleep in broad daylight on the plane tomorrow.

Tao Zhiming thought, why not play more this afternoon and evening?

After calling them all over, Tao Zhiming said, "Do you all know the itinerary? We will be on the plane during the day tomorrow. Let's take a nap in the afternoon. Then, how about we go to Broadway after dinner together in the evening?"

He is the boss, so naturally what he says is what he says.

Only Xu Guoping couldn't help but ask: "Then I..."

Ever since he came to New York on a private plane yesterday, he still doesn't understand the purpose of being brought there.

Tao Zhiming smiled: "Let's go for a walk in the Central Park next door."

Ogata Toshio immediately said: "I will follow."

Tao Zhiming nodded and walked out casually.

In early October, New York’s Central Park also entered the most beautiful time of the year.

Tao Zhiming and Xu Guoping walked in front together, and Ogata Toshio was not far behind, guarding his safety.

"I heard that you asked about something about me this morning?"

Xu Guoping nodded when he heard this: "I want to know more."

Tao Zhiming's eyes looked at the other people in the park. There were all kinds of skin colors, but most of them were white. Being in a foreign country, Tao Zhiming said with some emotion: "From your growth experience, you were able to go to university from Xia Guo at that time.

, and you can go to Stanford to complete your Ph.D., you must be very smart. But how do I feel that you are very satisfied with your green card and this ordinary job?"

Xu Guoping was silent, but you spoke lightly.

However, if this boss, who is nearly 10 years younger than me, really started from scratch, he is indeed qualified to say so.

"Fluid machinery is still very much needed in China." Tao Zhiming looked at him and asked, "Do you think it's too hard in China?"

This question was a bit pointed, but Xu Guoping had to answer it. He said calmly: "That's right. I come from a rural area. Here, I can earn in one year what it would take several lifetimes to earn in China. Even in the future

If I can’t stay here, I have another choice. I was already 29 years old when I graduated. It would be too difficult to return to China, marry a wife and have children, even if I can earn a salary of dozens of yuan a month with my academic qualifications.”

Tao Zhiming smiled. If you were in this era, many people's choices would be blameless. At this time, the domestic salary level was only a few dozen dollars lower per capita per month, and the gap was not big. Xu Guoping returned from abroad, maybe

He can have a good professional title from the beginning, but the salary will not be much high. Compared with his current salary of more than 50,000 yuan a year, it is a huge difference.

At this time, how many people could have imagined that Xia Hui would develop at such a rate in the following 30 years?

On the contrary, Tao Zhiming confirmed one thing: Xu Guoping has skills but not arrogance. He has the intelligence to study knowledge, but his vision of planning his life is limited by his experience in the process of growing up, which is also very average. If he is a

If a person knows how to use his identity, has a bright mind, and is very motivated in doing things, if he returns to the Xia Kingdom and rides the east wind, his achievements will far exceed the ceiling of someone like him working peacefully in the United States.

Perhaps the engineer's thinking has not changed yet. On the one hand, he has not considered returning to Xia Kingdom at all, and on the other hand, he does not understand the social rules of the Western world. Being able to serve as a small leader in the Mizhou office of Japanese VA is probably a very hard work.

The result is.

If you don’t choose the right path, you will naturally end up with half the effort and half the effort in everything you do.

So Tao Zhiming said: "Just doing after-sales service is a waste of your knowledge. You asked me about my situation, and you must know the reason why I am more concerned about you. Firstly, it is because of your knowledge, and secondly, because of me

After the acquisition of Japanese VA, we need people. But more importantly, it is because you are from the Xia Kingdom."

Xu Guoping couldn't help but look at him carefully.

Although Tao Zhiming's eyes were looking forward, he seemed to notice his actions: "What you think is your business. If you mainly want to make money, then the order should be clear, right? As long as you have money, what do you want?

Cards of different colors are easier to handle than they are now."

Xu Guoping thought that every boss would say this at the beginning.

"Do you speak Idali?"

Xu Guoping looked at him again. Did he want him to go to the shipyard in Idali?

So he said, "I can learn."

Tao Zhiming laughed, this seemed to be a highly emotionally intelligent answer.

"Then study hard."

Tao Zhiming pointed to the bench next to him, went over to sit down, and said: "Lao Xu, you are a smart person, and I won't beat around the bush. I think you are a useful person. You just haven't opened up your plans, and you don't have any IQ or EQ."

Bad. I have the capital to let you give it a try and see if you can really use it. But you still have to use this time to prove to me whether you are trustworthy."

Xu Guoping nodded: "I understand, this is my opportunity, you are my nobleman."

"After the acquisition of Japanese VA, I will not be responsible for arranging the management. That Huonajiang Yangshui will only serve as the director of Japanese VA on my behalf and pay attention to the financial situation. The office in the United States should be abolished."

Xu Guoping was shocked and couldn't help but look at him.

"You heard the other day that I was going to acquire Blockbuster." Tao Zhiming looked back calmly, "It's just a matter of money. I will definitely take over this company. It is an American company, and I will let you take charge of it."

CEO, I will give you sufficient funds. In three years, you have to open it all over the United States. And if possible, cooperate with local European companies through joint ventures and open some stores in Europe."

Xu Guoping couldn't believe that he was asked to take charge of a company worth tens of millions of dollars?

"Video rentals are just for training your talent management and business capabilities." Tao Zhiming looked at him and asked with a smile, "Are you confident?"

"...Yes!" Xu Guoping gritted his teeth. This was the biggest opportunity he had ever encountered in his life. He was just a company employee. This status was very different from that of a multinational company executive.

"Okay. I estimate that the acquisition can be completed within the year." Tao Zhiming gestured, "In three months, you have to use all your strength to straighten out Blockbuster."

"Three months... OK!" Xu Guoping calculated that if the acquisition was completed within the year, it would take nearly half a year in total.

"But this matter has nothing to do with your major." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "I still need you to do two things. The first thing is that as a director of Azimu Beti, with the help of supervision, I will

To get opportunities for yacht orders over there, you need to know more about Azimut’s business operations and their shipbuilding technology. Therefore, you have to go to Idali regularly.”

"...Azimut?" As an employee of Japan VA's Mizhou office, how could he not know about another large company in the same industry? Xu Guoping just didn't expect that Tao Zhiming would also invest in Azimut.

Tao Zhiming continued: "The second thing is that as the CEO of my local company in the United States, you are responsible for helping me with other matters in the United States. This includes supervising the progress of my private jet and liaising with KPMG.

Help me examine assets to be acquired in the future.”

"...I'll try my best." Xu Guoping didn't dare to swear this time, as so many things would weigh on him in one go.

"You are from Stanford, you should think more about how to arrange these things." Since Tao Zhiming was determined to take this top student into his own use, he took this opportunity to teach him first, "The resources of the alumni, some of the people I have known in the United States for so many years

Friends who feel capable, including after joining a new team, how to conquer the original people through financial and personnel means, and use your wisdom in the new role of boss."

Xu Guoping nodded silently. He had never thought about it before. The United States is a country where capitalists are at the top. Who doesn't have a dream of being a boss? Now, he is full of longing and anxiety, and then hesitantly said: "The most important thing is me.

I’m afraid some people may be dissatisfied with my identity..."

"There must be problems in this area, but you are the one who gives money to others and you are the one who makes others make money. What is there to worry about? Don't be short of breath." Tao Zhiming looked at him, paused and said, "This

This is also my test for you. The deadline is half a year. If you meet my expectations, I will directly help you with the green card."

"Really?" Xu Guoping was overjoyed. He didn't know why, but because Tao Zhiming looked at him differently, he believed in this promise even more.

"Of course." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Even if you haven't gotten your green card yet, if you become the CEO of Blockbuster, you don't have to worry about getting married."

The joy on Xu Guoping's face suddenly froze, and then he became embarrassed.

"Has something happened?" Tao Zhiming asked in surprise.

Xu Guoping was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "I came to New York temporarily last night and found out that my girlfriend had cheated on me."

"..." Tao Zhiming was speechless for a moment.

Xu Guoping sighed: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. My parents have been urging me to start a family and start a business. It just so happens that I will do my best to finish the things you gave me."

"It would be better if we found out earlier." Tao Zhiming shook his head with emotion, "If it weren't for your visa being too late, I would have wanted to take you to Idali to have a look."

Xu Guoping suddenly felt a little confused: "If the Japanese VA you purchased has an order for yachts, why didn't you give it to Japanese VA?"

"I want to acquire Japan VA. If I give them an order first, won't Hector have to raise the price?" Tao Zhiming didn't say anything about his long-term goals, "Besides, Japan VA can't build the main yacht. That's right.

Well, your representative, as a director of Azimut, you cannot be there for a long time, so you need to find an expert who knows a lot about shipbuilding for me. I ordered a top-notch yacht of more than 100 meters from Azimut.

It has been made for three years, and I will serve as a supervisor to help me with quality control."

"More than a hundred meters?" Xu Guoping blurted out, his tone full of disbelief.

"That's right." Tao Zhiming patted his shoulder meaningfully, "Blockbuster is just here to train you. In three years, if Blockbuster can get on the right track, a more professional manager can be arranged by then.

People will take care of it. In terms of shipbuilding, you should communicate more with Huonajiang Yangshui and gradually reserve some talents."

"...Boss, how much money do you have?" Xu Guoping couldn't help but ask, although he shouldn't have asked.

Tao Zhiming would not answer, but simply said: "It is better to focus on how much money you can earn. When the transition period is over, you will be given a basic monthly salary of 10,000 yuan. It depends on you how high you can reach in the future.

ability.”

Xu Guoping said nonchalantly: "I was rash. Don't worry, I will do my best."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "I will talk to Hector first, so you can prepare. When he and KPMG go to Tokyo to sign a formal acquisition contract with me, you can go with him."

"good!"

"Keep walking. In this preparation stage, what should you do? If you have any questions, ask first."

In New York's Central Park, Xu Guoping felt that his destiny had quietly turned. And after this conversation focused on work, Xu Guoping also sincerely admired him.

I don’t know why he is so powerful. Although he is only 24 years old, he knows so much about how to manage a company, how to find talents, and even the business culture of the United States.

Although he wanted to acquire Blockbuster, he had naturally made preliminary preparations. But when Xu Guoping listened to him talk about the reasons why Blockbuster was successful, it seemed that he had pointed out the direction for future operations and expansion.

Tao Zhiming also feels quite satisfied. If you want to develop a career in the United States, it is difficult to find a core person. You must be smart and diligent, but also loyal and reliable, which all takes time.

Zhao Yuanxi studied in the United States, and he naturally knew a few friends with good abilities. However, the Xiangdao side was established in the context of Zhao Yuanxi, and Tao Zhiming used to be more convenient and easier to control. But here in the United States,

, it would be a bit inappropriate if it were still built with friends that Zhao Yuanxi knew as the team.

With Xu Guoping as the core, if he can control Zhao Yuanxi's friends, including his own friends, he will be of great use in the future.

Tao Zhiming finally patted his shoulder: "Since you said you want to go back to Los Angeles to deal with your girlfriend's affairs and contact other friends, I won't take you to Broadway that night. I asked Jiumina to book it for you through the hotel.

Air tickets.”

Although Xu Guoping now wants to cultivate trust with him again, the most important thing is to do the things he told him well, right?

Seeing him taking a taxi from the hotel entrance and rushing to the airport, Tao Zhiming said to Maehara Kumina: "Do you have any recommendations for the financial person in charge of the Pantao Society's office in the United States?"

Maehara Kumina smiled sweetly: "Yes, but you need to decide this."

"who?"

"Fukaya Pear."

Tao Zhiming looked at her in astonishment: "How did you know she was willing to come over?"

"How about I explain it to you in detail?" She said with watery eyes, "Let's go back to the room and talk."
