Chapter 255: Deepening Cooperation
Because of the breeding of ambition, Zheng Yan's thirst for talents is even greater than before. Because he knows very well that his ability to make money is only based on the prophet, and he does not have the ability to control hundreds of billions of funds, with the joining of Sally Clauchek, Zheng Yan is a lot more relieved, but this is far from enough.
In the crude oil futures market, because of the outbreak of the war, the price of crude oil has soared, and because Yanhuang Investment has a large number of futures contracts in its hands, today's investors can only buy sporadically, and there are few large transactions. It is precisely because of the decrease in the number of circulating that the price of crude oil has risen more violently, and there is a faint trend beyond Zheng Yan's control.
Zheng Yan has been staying in the United States for various reasons, but he didn't expect that the fish he was waiting for had not yet been baited, but the manor ushered in an unexpected guest.
"Hi Bray, welcome to my estate. ”
The person who came was none other than Bray Morgan, the head of JPMorgan Chase in Port City.
"Zheng Yan, it's really surprising, I didn't expect that after such a short period of time, you gave me such a big surprise. ”
Today's Yanhuang Investment has become well-known all over the world, JPMorgan Chase is the custodian of the fund under its name, and Bray Morgan is the person who handles the business, so he naturally knows the situation of Yanhuang Investment. It was precisely because of this that Bray Morgan was sent out after reporting to his family.
"Okay, Bray, you know how much I took this time, so there is too much luck in the results today. Luckily, I won the bet. ”
"Oh Zheng Yan, I came all the way from Hong Kong City, aren't you going to invite me to visit your manor?"
Although the two had only met once, Brae Morgan acted as if they had been strong for years. However, Zheng Yan was not disgusted with Bray Morgan's attitude, and befriending the Morgan family was originally one of his plans.
"I'm sorry, it's rare to see old friends in the United States, I'm just happy, please come in. ”
When Zheng Yan walked into the castle with Brae Morgan, she happened to see Lisa coming down from the upper floor, and looking at her outfit, she seemed to be ready to go out.
"Hey, Lisa, where are you going?"
"Zheng Yan, are you here? I'm very sorry, I made an appointment, and now I'm going to go out for a while. ”
Since the last conversation, Lisa has been busy with the brewing workshop, Zheng Yan thought that Lisa was still for this, so she didn't ask too much, and she didn't notice the abnormality in Lisa's expression.
"Zheng Yan, I really didn't expect you to be a playboy. ”
After Bray Morgan reached a cooperation agreement with Zheng Yan, he had already investigated Zheng Yan's situation, and he had already heard about the relationship between Zheng Yan and the Li family, and he did not expect that in such a short period of time, Zheng Yan would accept another confidant.
"Okay Bray, don't make fun of me. You should know my situation, I also have a big head now. Let's talk about your intentions. ”
Bray Morgan is not only the head of JPMorgan Chase in Port City, but also has a high status in the Morgan family. Zheng Yan didn't believe that he ran all the way back to the United States just to see himself.
"You're so boring, I thought you'd throw a dinner party or something to welcome me, and I'd come all the way anyway. ”
"No kidding, this is the United States, and you're the host. ”
The more Bray Morgan sold off, the more curious Zheng Yan became. If he is for the futures contract in Zheng Yan's hand, it is a little unreasonable, although the Morgan family also has an oil industry, but it is only a small part, and it does not even have a controlling stake.
"Well, in addition to congratulating you this time, I hope to deepen our cooperation. ”
Bray Morgan's words made Zheng Yan a little interested. If you want to gain a foothold in the Western world, big families such as Morgan and Rockefeller can't get around it, and it's rare for the other party to take the initiative to come to the door, and Zheng Yan will naturally not object.
"I'll admit that I'm very interested in your proposal, tell me how you're going to cooperate. ”
"No, it's not a collaboration between you and me, it's a collaboration between you and us Morgan. ”
How much money Zheng Yan has invested in the oil futures market, Bray Morgan is very clear, according to the original price of crude oil, and then look at the current price, Bray Morgan has a rough judgment on Zheng Yan's income this time.
Even if a large part of these funds are financed, but the assets controlled by Zheng Yan should not be underestimated, and the most important thing is that through this investment, the Morgan family has seen Zheng Yan's ability. Who can guarantee that this is already Zheng Yan's limit?
"According to the agreement between us, we J.P. Morgan will act as the custodian of the fund under your name, and the custody fee rate will be 20%, which can be reduced to as the fund's assets increase, and the minimum can be reduced to 12%. Now, I'd like to do it a different way. ”
Zheng Yan had roughly understood what Bray Morgan meant, but he didn't speak.
"From now on, we can not charge any custody fees for the private equity funds under your name, even if the fees for this investment can be waived. However, we hope that J.P. Morgan can be the only partner of Yanhuang Investment. ”
"Well, no problem. ”
Zheng Yan didn't think too much about it, and directly agreed to Bray Morgan's conditions. But Zheng Yan agreed too happily, so that Bray Morgan didn't react for a while.
Brae Morgan knew very well that this seemed like a good condition, but with the current reputation of Yanhuang Investment, coupled with its terrifying assets, any bank would be willing to give the same conditions. That said, JPMorgan doesn't have much of an advantage in this regard.
"Needless to say, I did. Although I know that as long as I am willing, any bank is now willing to cooperate with Yanhuang Investment, but since there is no problem in the cooperation between us, why should I go far and far? We have a saying in Huaxia, it is better to be familiar than to be a living, and relatively speaking, I am more willing to cooperate with people I am familiar with. ”
Other banks may have better conditions, but other banks don't have the Morgan signboard. In the future, Zheng Yan will have more and more opportunities to walk in the Western world, and this kind of cooperation with the Morgan family can provide Zheng Yan with a lot of convenience.
"Well, I think we can prepare a dinner party and announce this collaboration between us. ”
Bray Morgan also vaguely guessed Zheng Yan's plan, and didn't even mind helping him. No matter what Zheng Yan's reason for agreeing, as long as this cooperation is reached, his status at JPMorgan Chase and even the Morgan family will improve a lot.
