Chapter 686 - The King of Hedge Funds (Second Vote)
"I don't know if you've ever thought about selling the company?"
Xia Yu's sudden words made Rey Dario shocked.
His eyes widened and he looked straight at Xia Yu.
Xia Yu smiled at the corner of his mouth, and looked at him sincerely, indicating that he was not joking.
Rey Dario was not angry, and after his mood gradually calmed down, he combined with the question Xia Yu asked just now, and realized that Xia Yu definitely had something to say.
He didn't rush to make a statement, but continued to ask Xia Yu to finish his words: "Mr. Xia, to be honest, your words made me upset, I want to know what kind of acquisition plan you have, and what are you going to do after the acquisition?"
Xia Yu smiled slightly, and said: "The company is still managed by you, but I will buy 80% of the equity from you, after the acquisition, the company will open up hedge funds or investment business, I will bring funds for the establishment of the fund, and the scale of the capital will be at least 100 million US dollars." ”
In order to increase the persuasiveness, Xia Yu added again: "You want to engage in the investment field but lack of funds, and I just solve this problem for you, and in addition to the supervision of funds, the company's affairs are all in charge of you, and you only have to pay part of the company's equity." ”
Faced with the sweet bait suddenly thrown by Xia Yu, Rey Dario was silent.
I have to say that he was moved.
He has always aspired to the field of capital investment, but he has to put his plans on hold because of practical constraints.
The current business of Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. is only a transitional business, which will allow him to accumulate contacts and influence, and earn more funds by the way, paving the way for future investment business.
Five years ago, he founded Bridgewater Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. with a million dollars.
In five years, the total value of the company is about seven or eight million US dollars, and when it encounters an urgent buyer, it is capped at 10 million US dollars.
If Xia Yu now says that he will buy his company for 10 million US dollars, he is definitely willing to sell it, and then use this 10 million US dollars to set up a company engaged in the investment field.
But the current situation is that Xia Yu does not plan to acquire it wholly, but leaves 20% of the equity, which is the shackles that bind him.
With such a small stake, with Rey Dario's heart, he was emotionally reluctant.
However, Xia Yu's promise of not interfering with the right to operate and being able to bring in $100 million in funds made him excited.
He wanted to bring in $100 million in funds, but he didn't know that he would have to wait for the Year of the Monkey, and now that there was a ready-made one in front of him, he was really reluctant to take the opportunity to slip away.
If you invest this 100 million dollars earlier, you may reap more benefits, of course, this is only possible, after all, everything only exists in the imagination!
As if sensing that Rey Dario was engaged in a fierce psychological struggle, the corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly, and he said again: "Mr. Dalio, can you think about it, will anyone in the United States be willing to hand over $100 million of funds to you to operate?"
"Although you only have 20% of the equity, as long as you run the fund yourself, you can take a part of the profit dividends, and then you can take 20% of the dividends belonging to the company, and the profit will not be less than 30%. ”
"The bottom line is that you have very little risk, most of the risk is taken by me and other investors!"
"I think this condition, even if it is put on Wall Street, there will be many financial elites who have been famous for a long time willing to come!"
Xia Yu's words are very straightforward, but they are very convincing.
directly crushed the last straw in Rey Dario's heart.
The risk is small, the return is guaranteed, and I am also one of the bosses, and if the investment is good, the return will be higher.
This kind of condition is very good on Wall Street!
Almost all of America's top talents are squeezed into the financial field, so on Wall Street, there are not a few well-known elites, as Xia Yu said, his condition is definitely able to attract a group of financial elites who are more famous than him.
It's a rare opportunity, so let's do it!
It's a big deal to sell the shares and start over when it doesn't go well in the future, and I believe that by then, I will have certain conditions!
Although Rey Dario made a preliminary decision, he did not immediately agree.
He said to Xia Yu with a solemn face: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your recognition of me, your conditions are very attractive, but my brain is a little confused now, please allow me to think about it for two days." ”
"Of course no problem!"
"If you think about it, come here to me!"
Xia Yu smiled and nodded.
"Thank you!
With that, Rey Dario found a reason to leave.
After Rey Dario left, seeing Liu Tianci's hesitant face, Xia Yu leaned back on the sofa and said casually: "Tianci, if you have anything you want to ask, don't hold back." ”
Liu Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, "Chairman, you seem to value this Rey Dalio very much?"
Xia Yu bowed slightly: "He is an investment genius, I learned about him by chance, and his experience is true." ”
"In my opinion, his talent is at the top of Wall Street, and if he is placed in Xiangjiang, there are very few who can compare to him!"
"This kind of talent, since we have encountered it, of course we have to collect it on our side. ”
Liu Tianci was taken aback, he didn't expect the boss's evaluation of Rey Dalio to be so high!
Even he didn't dare to say that his talent was the top in Xiangjiang.
But Rey Dalio is considered to have the top talent at the Wall Street level, Wall Street is the world's financial center, does it mean that Rey Dalio's talent is the top in the world?
That's not a bad evaluation!
Anyway, he has been with Chairman Xia Yu for so long, and he has never heard Xia Yu give such a high evaluation, whether it is him, Wang Qi, or Jason Greg, no!
It is normal for Liu Tianci to be surprised, after all, Rey Dario is not an ordinary person.
If the eighties and nineties were the era of Soros and Julian Robertson, then in the twenty-first century, the hedge fund space is the era of Rey Dario.
Rey Dalio was named one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2012 by Time magazine, the "king of hedge funds" after Soros, and a self-made Wall Street financial tycoon with a net worth of more than $10 billion.
In 2011, the world's hedge fund market had dismal returns, and even in this difficult environment, Bridgewater still had to make a profit of $13.8 billion.
Bridgewater Fund has more than $160 billion in initial capital under management, ranking first in the world, and its investors are from the World Bank, pension funds, welfare funds, sovereign wealth funds and even some central banks.
Rey Dario's achievements are higher than Julian Robertson's, and until the later generations of Xia Yu crossed, he was still calling the wind and rain in the world, and now he is definitely a strong potential stock!
"God, calm down, you are on par with Rey Dario, and now your conditions are better than him, it will be difficult for him to surpass you in the future!"
After all, Liu Tianci was his old subordinate, and Xia Yu still had to take care of his emotions, so he explained with a smile.
Anyway, Liu Tianci doesn't know Rey Dalio in later generations, and only when there is pressure can he be motivated, maybe he can still be used as a whip to make Liu Tianci grow better.
"Well, there are many people in the world who are better than me, and I will catch up with them step by step!"
Liu Tianci said with a resolute face.
......
Two days later.
After learning about the strength of the Jiuding Consortium, Rey Dario finally made up his mind.
Now he is just a small role, a regional consortium can look up to him, of course he is willing to take refuge and grow with the help of the resources of the Jiuding consortium.
At this time, he had no idea how high his future achievements would be, and it was understandable to make such a decision that was most beneficial to the present.
It is also the headquarters of Jiuding Bank.
When the agreement was signed, the atmosphere of the scene changed instantly, and the original sense of alienation gradually disappeared.
"Mr. Dario, we will be a family from now on!"
Xia Yu shook hands with Rey Dario and said with a smile.
Rey Dario quickly straightened his position and said enthusiastically: "BOSS, you can call me Rey in the future, it would be too much to call Mr. ”
Xia Yu didn't refuse, and said, "Okay, Rey!"
"$100 million can be raised in three days, and the most important thing at the moment is that you set up a fund as soon as possible, and as soon as the fund team is formed, the money will be sent immediately!"
"I'll have someone go back with you and complete the rest of the formalities!"
Although the contract has now been signed, the process has not yet been completed.
And the contract also makes it clear that the transaction contract will only take effect after the $100 million fund is in place, otherwise it is an invalid contract.
"BOSS, you can arrange it, I can leave at any time!"
Rey Dario immediately said.
"Then tomorrow, I'll find a good person today, and I'll go back with you tomorrow!"
Xia Yu said this, and decided in his heart to call Zhou Keji of Standard Accounting Firm and Wei Lu of Standard Law Firm later, and let them pick out the people who agreed to the conditions and go to New York with Rey Dario.
In the evening, Xia Yu specially called Wang Qi, Jason Greg, Liu Tianci and others to welcome Rey Dario at the Marco Polo Xiangjiang Hotel.
At the dinner table, Rey Dario also had a deep understanding of the strength of Xia Yu's financial industry, and couldn't help but be glad that he had joined this big family.
The next day, Xia Yu put Rey Dario and the people sent by the two major firms on the plane.
Looking at the Boeing plane rising from the airport, Xia Yu was a little emotional.
What happened in the past two days is a bit fantastical, and it is so simple to take the future "king of hedge funds" under his command.
And Julian Robertson, the "godfather of hedge funds" who had been talked about before, has not yet arrived!
Xia Yu suddenly hoped that Julian Robertson would set up a company as soon as possible, so that he could come to Xiangjiang as soon as possible to fulfill his promise.
Thinking that he has two financial giants under his command that are comparable to Soros, Xia Yu can't help but be excited.
With these two knives, apart from the United States, which country's financial markets can stop him from tossing?
Raising his head and looking at the scorching sun hanging high in the blue sky, Xia Yu smiled and muttered, "Today's sunshine is very good!"
Liu Tianci on the side was slightly stunned, and then suddenly, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the airport, and a solemnity appeared in his eyes.
