Liu Lang and Huo Lao were sitting in the car. When the car reached Central, the old man pointed outside and smiled.
"Liu Lang! You are now the richest man in Asia. You have enough wealth to buy this street. How about it? What do you think?"
"The old man is joking, what can I think? No matter how much money you have, if you don't let it create value, it is just paper!"
Liu Lang replied.
"Haha, domineering, domineering! Yes, to a genius like you, it is just a pile of paper. 1.5 billion is nothing. When you reach Tianting's age, I am afraid you will have hundreds of billions. By then, this money will be a
The numbers are up, our Huo family also needs to earn more paper, so you have to help us in the future!"
Huo Lao said half-jokingly.
"As the country gets better and better, our money will increase. If one day our country is as powerful as the United States, I believe many of the world's richest people will be us Chinese."
"Yes, yes, when the country is strong, our people will be strong!"
Huo Lao nodded repeatedly, but he didn't think so in his heart. Liu Lang's wealth has nothing to do with China.
Liu Lang came to Hong Kong Island this time to "collect money" and to discuss with the other party the establishment of a bank.
The Huo family has already begun to operate this matter. Initially, the total equity of the bank is set at 1.5 billion US dollars. The Huo family and Liu Lang each contribute 500 million US dollars, occupying 66% of the equity. The remaining equity will be introduced into many
Capital includes well-known law firms, insurance companies, consulting companies, etc., including 100 million equity and backgrounds in European and American countries. This is done to enable banking business to develop abroad.
If it is to establish a regional bank, it would be much simpler. Liu Lang and the Huo family can do it. But the Huo family has greater ambitions. After all, they have sufficient funds, so they might as well establish a multinational bank. This is not a problem.
An easy task requires involving all aspects and bringing in consortiums with many backgrounds. For this reason, the Huo family hired a professional team to run the matter and also hired a business manager from a Wall Street investment company.
The other party is a Chinese, forty-five or six years old, his Chinese name is Qian Shaoqiang, and his English name is Edward Qian. He is originally from Zhejiang Province and comes from a prominent family. His father and the country's meritorious Qian Xuesen have relatives. During the war,
Then I went to the United States and took root in a foreign country.
The Qian family is a large family in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. It has produced many famous people in history, including physicists Qian Xuesen and Qian Shanqiang, and historians Qian Mu. These people are all well-known to Chinese people, but there are many others who are not known to outsiders.
You know, they are all elites in all walks of life.
In fact, there are many Chinese elites in the United States, in the financial industry, engineering industry and education field. Especially in the education field, there are many people who have won the Nobel Prize. For example, Professor Ding Huaizhong is a tenured professor at Stanford University, so the United States
The prosperity of China is also due to the Chinese.
It’s just that racial discrimination in the United States is very serious, and outstanding Chinese cannot enjoy the treatment they deserve. For example, Qian Shaoqiang, a PhD in economics from Yale University, has made hundreds of millions of dollars in the investment company he works for, but he only serves as a
He got a mid-level position as a business manager, and the salary was pretty good, with an annual salary of 500,000 to 600,000 yuan every year. However, he always believed that he was qualified for higher positions, and the company still treated him badly.
Qian Shaoqiang's experience was similar to that of Lin Guodong, except that Lin Guodong was even worse. But he was lucky enough. Today, Shengtang Company is a popular entertainment company in the United States. As the CEO of the company, he is also the focus of media attention. His life experience has been dug out.
, the former general manager of Coca-Cola China, did a lot of work to develop the Chinese market, but was later "killed" by Coca-Cola Company, and then was poached by Liu Lang.
Of course, the secret to the success of Shengtang Company lies in Liu Lang. It was his unbridled imagination that allowed Shengtang Company to grow from a bachelor to a market value of nearly 2 billion in just a few years. The role of Lin Guodong and others is not obvious.
How important it is, but in fact, without these people, no matter how good Liu Lang's idea is, it would be impossible to realize it. This is the role of strategists and tacticians.
Lin Guodong's role in Shengtang Company is obvious. His current annual salary has already exceeded one million US dollars, making him one of the managers with the highest annual salary in the United States. Moreover, he also owns shares of Shengtang and pays several dividends a year.
One million, he is no longer the destitute he was back then.
Now Qian Shaoqiang has also followed Lin Guodong's old path and was poached by the Huo family.
Qian Shaoqiang stood up immediately when he saw Liu Lang. He was also a man who had seen the world. His friends around him were all elites, either millionaires or multi-millionaires. But even so, he felt nervous when he saw Liu Lang.
Endless.
"Hello, Mr. Liu, nice to meet you!"
Qian Shaoqiang struggled to say greetings in Chinese with a Jiangsu and Zhejiang accent. Apparently his parents had taught him Chinese since he was a child. Considering the environment in which he lived, it was already pretty good that he could speak Chinese like this.
"Brother Qian, welcome to join our team. I believe our cooperation will be very pleasant in the future!"
Liu Lang said in English. Listening to the other party speak Chinese is simply torture, so he might as well just use English.
"Yes, yes, it's my pleasure!"
The other party also answered in English. In fact, this was an interview with Qian Shaoqiang by Liu Lang and the Huo family.
Qian Shaoqiang had handled some business for the Huo family, so they had known each other for a long time. He and Huo Tianhuan had a very good relationship. Huo Tianhuan came to the United States to find him a month ago and hoped that he would serve as the general manager of a bank.
When Qian Shaoqiang knew that Liu Lang and the Huo family were going to set up a bank with a registered capital of 1.5 billion US dollars, he was a little confused. The Huo family knew that he was a rich man in Hong Kong, but his total assets did not exceed 500 million US dollars. Liu Lang naturally
Needless to say, why would a well-known entertainment tycoon in the United States want to join finance now?
At that time, Qian Shaoqiang just said that he wanted to consider it. He did not believe that the other party could really come up with such a large amount of money, 1.5 billion US dollars! If placed anywhere, it could set off huge waves.
A few days ago, he was invited to Hong Kong Island by the Huo family, and then he saw the certificates placed on several bank accounts. The Huo family had 700 million US dollars. This was cash, not fixed assets. Now Liu Lang came in person.
, there is no doubt that the establishment of the bank is true.
Becoming the CEO of a multinational bank is something Qian Shaoqiang has never dared to think about.
What kind of company is a bank? To put it bluntly, it is a tool for rich people to play with capital, especially those multinational banks, which are controlled by a group of super-rich people behind them. This group of people can control the economy of a region or even a country.
Qian Shaoqiang is the business manager of an investment company. Investment companies are also financial institutions, but they are far behind banks. Even insurance companies cannot compare. So when he thought about becoming the CEO of a bank, he
My heart was filled with fear and excitement.
Not everyone can get a doctorate in economics from Yale University. The best majors at this university are management, economics and law. The management major in particular is world-famous. Many politicians in the United States are graduates of this school.
As a student, the economics major is slightly inferior, but it is also among the top three in the United States. Qian Shaoqiang majored in finance in college.
