Chapter 889: The Combination of Finance and Computers

“...... I hope that everyone can perform their duties and fully cooperate, this process is also when the company inspects you, and I hope that after the company merges, I can see you again. ”

"Well, this meeting is over, John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg will stay for a moment, and the others will adjourn. ”

After Xue He finished speaking, the participating executives retreated one after another.

In less than a minute, there were four people left in the conference room, namely Xia Yu, Xue He, John Gufran, and Michael Bloomberg.

Xue He got up and closed the door, and then in the surprised eyes of John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg, he respectfully asked Xia Yu, "Boss, should I go out first?"

"Sit down, thank you. ”

Xia Yu shook his head slightly and said, his gaze returned to John Guflan and Michael Bloomberg, who were surprised by the catalog.

The legal person of Galaxy Fund and Philip Brothers Company is not Xia Yu, and although in the Galaxy Fund, Song Yang, Xue He and others all call Xia Yu boss, but on paper, the general manager of the parent company of Galaxy Fund is Liu Zheng, not Xia Yu.

At the meeting just now, Xia Yu was only sitting at the same table with Xue He, and did not speak during the whole process, and when Xue He introduced Xia Yu to everyone, he only said that the representatives sent by the Galaxy Fund, John Gufran and Michael Bloomberg were naturally surprised at this time.

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is Xia Yu, you can call me boss. ”

Xia Yu smiled lightly and said softly.

John Guflan and Michael Blombberg came back to their senses and shouted in unison, "Boss!"

Xia Yu bowed slightly, fixing his gaze on John Gufran, the future "King of Wall Street".

"John, at the meeting just now, Xue He did not announce the decision on your position, to be honest, I am very optimistic about your talent, so I plan to reuse you. ”

"After the merger of Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers, you will be the president of the company, and now the president of Philip Brothers will either be fired or serve as your deputy. ”

As soon as these words came out, John Guuffland's already bulging eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Xia Yu carefully, and found that Xia Yu was not joking.

A sense of joy and gratitude rose in his heart, and to be honest, he was ready to be demoted or fired, and even considered leaving his job for a while, but he never imagined that he would be the president of Philip Brothers.

This was because he was self-aware and aware of the disparity in strength between Philip Brothers and Salomon Brothers.

And it was Philip Brothers' acquisition of Salomon Brothers, and he had never heard that the person on the side of the merger could serve as the president of the merged company, so he never thought about it.

never thought that the new boss Xia Yu would value him so much, and he had an urge to die as a confidant in his heart.

At this moment, all worries and thoughts of leaving the job are swept away, after all, it is really hard to find a suitable job.

He suddenly got up and bowed to Xia Yu to thank him: "Boss, thank you for your recognition of me, I will definitely not let you down." ”

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, motioned for him to sit down, and then said: "Your top priority at present is to do a good job of personnel stability, and every employee in the company is wealth." ”

"On this basis, you have to do a good job of scheduling, and strive to let Salomon Brothers and Philip Brothers complete the merger and reorganization as soon as possible. ”

"How long do you estimate this process will take?"

John Guuffran thought for a long time and said in a firm tone: "Boss, in three months at most, the new company after the merger will be able to carry out all its business normally. ”

Considering that Philip Brothers is a multinational company, and Salomon Brothers is also a first-class financial company, the integration time of three months is already considered fast, even if it is doubled to six months, it is not slow.

Xia Yu estimated that he had this self-confidence, and he also believed in his prestige for Salomon Brothers, and considering that with the support of his boss, there would be no constraints and resistance in Philip Brothers.

Therefore, Xia Yu smiled and said, "Okay, I look forward to your performance." ”

Then, Xia Yu gave John Gufran a few more words of encouragement, and the latter left the conference room with a sense of humor.

Seeing the boss Xia Yu looking at him, Michael Bloomberg, who was in his prime, subconsciously straightened his chest and made himself more energetic and confident.

Xia Yu had a kind attitude, and said as easily as a friend chatting: "Michael, I heard that you plan to change your work environment?"

Michael Bloomberg nodded and said calmly, "Yes." ”

Xia Yu asked with interest: "Is it because there is no position in the company that can give full play to your talents?"

Michael Bloomberg is not so arrogant, and even if he did, he would not be so stupid to say yes, but he immediately shook his head and said: "No, I just changed jobs, I joined Salomon Brothers as soon as I graduated from college, and I have been here for fourteen years now." ”

"But I think I'm still young, and I want to improve my comprehensive ability through different jobs and lay the foundation for greater achievements in the future. ”

To Michael Bloomberg's surprise, the boss Xia Yu did not persuade him to stay, but smiled and asked him again: "Then have you thought about further your studies?"

Michael Bloomberg pondered for a moment and replied truthfully: "I haven't decided on the specific job yet, but I think that with the development of semiconductors, computers have an increasing impact on society, but the financial industry, as the blood of the social economy, seems to be lagging behind in the combination of computers and computers, so I hope to find a job that combines computers and finance." ”

Hearing Michael Bloomberg's answer, Xia Yu was relieved.

It seems that Michael Bloomberg is still exploring and has not yet come up with the idea of starting a business, which is good news.

The more unpleasant second option he had planned could be abandoned.

Xia Yu said with a smile: "Michael, your views are the same as mine, the current Wall Street's view of the computer industry is still limited to this is a sunrise industry, and it is more about investment, rather than using computer technology to upgrade and evolve the financial industry." ”

"Maybe it's because they're all used to making money lying down. ”

"If you want to find a job like this, it's very difficult. ”

Michael Bloomberg's face darkened slightly, nodded and said: "Yes, now the development of the financial industry has reached an inflection point, and most of Wall Street's attention is focused on financial derivatives, believing that the future of the financial industry lies in new financial products. ”

Xia Yu smiled and said, "But isn't this an opportunity?"

"I'm already doing research on this, and I've had some results, and it's time to start preparing for commercialization, and it just so happens that the company is still missing a person in charge, would you like to give it a try?"

Michael Bloomberg's eyes lit up, and he suddenly became interested, and at the same time he was grateful, but he was also a little nervous.

However, he also knew that products like this that had not yet been introduced to the market belonged to Ji Secrets, and it was not appropriate to ask rashly.

But the curiosity in his heart made his heart scratch like a cat, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally asked with a cheeky face: "If it is suitable, can you tell me what kind of company it is?"

Xia Yu thought for a while and said a little vaguely: "Michael, you should know that the speed of information acquisition is important for the financial industry. ”

Michael Bloomberg nodded in agreement, the importance of speed of information acquisition is undoubtedly the first priority, as long as the valuable information is obtained quickly enough, you can make a good profit by making a time difference.

"Now the development of financial markets is close to a peak. ”

"In my opinion, the main thing that restricts it is valuable information, and financial companies use a large part of their manpower to collect and analyze valuable information, even if it is some basic information, it also needs manpower to collect, which is a great waste of time. ”

"And the product I make is to provide customers with valuable financial information uninterruptedly, as long as the financial company that buys my product, it can improve the work efficiency of Daifuku and form an information gap for other companies that have not purchased the service, do you think there is a market?"

Speaking of which, although Xia Yu still didn't say what the product was, and the talk was still a little vague, it was enough to make Michael Bloomberg have infinite reverie.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was exactly the direction he was looking for, but he didn't expect the new boss Xia Yu to have come so far on this road, which made him a little frustrated and excited at the same time.

Sensing the change in Michael Bloomberg's mentality, Xia Yu smiled faintly, sent him an invitation again, and said solemnly: "Michael, how about it, are you willing to participate in the creation of this product by yourself, as long as you pass the half-year inspection period and get my approval, you will be eligible for the company's option reward, how much you can get, it depends on your contribution to the company!"

Although it is only an option and not a direct equity, as long as you don't betray the company and keep working, the option will naturally become a real equity over time.

Looking at Xia Yu's calm eyes, Michael Bloomberg's heart was shaken, and his heart struggled violently.
