Chapter 35: Selection (Collect)
Can't expect a girl who can't even pay for college tuition and doesn't have much knowledge to make up her mind to start a business with her in debt, Ye Dongqing has the confidence to succeed, and others don't necessarily think so.
After mentioning it once, I didn't say more, Laura had already made a choice, and treated Ye Dongqing as a madman.
It's only been a few days since we met, and the relationship is not so good that Ye Dongqing begged to persuade Miss Laura to accept the shares, not to mention this kind of financial investment company, it is better to concentrate the equity, otherwise it may be troublesome in the future.
The restaurateur served the food quickly, and he asked the hostess to bring two small bowls of rice.
Laura ate authentic Chinese food for the first time since she was a child, and saw Ye Dongqing holding a small bowl, picking up chopsticks, and doing the same, obviously it was just two small wooden sticks, and it was extremely difficult to use it in her hands, and it always turned into a cross "X" shape, and she couldn't hold things at all.
Europeans and Americans do not eat rice at all, and there are also various baked rice in Western food, which are mainly cooked with rice as the base, but there are not many people who eat rice, or they do not eat rice as the main food.
This is related to historical factors, one side of the water and soil to support the other side of the people, just like some countries in Africa, Southeast Asia, will take bananas as a staple food, which kind of food and fruit produced locally is the most abundant, will naturally form the habit of taking it as a staple food.
Let Laura eat authentic Chinese food, but it was really embarrassing for her, she finally sandwiched a piece of tofu, and her brows became entangled while eating, she kept inhaling, and said in her mouth: "It's so spicy!"
"Eat rice if it's spicy, I've asked the chef to put less chili peppers, otherwise I guess you won't be able to accept it. ”
Ye Dongqing sandwiched a piece of mushroom for her, made a piece of chicken breast and put it in the bowl, and continued: "Like the Chinese food chain Panda Fast Food that you are familiar with, we Chinese people are not used to eating it at all, there is a lot of sugar and no taste, this is the real Chinese food, how does it taste?"
"Spicy, and has a weird taste, mutton soup...... Wow, it's delicious! What's in there?"
"The entrails of sheep. ”
“......”
The eating habits are different, American pigs in the water, chicken feet, as well as pig trotters, sheep balls, etc., are almost no one eats them, and they are generally thrown away directly during slaughter.
Later, some merchants found a way to sell them directly to Asia and exchange them for real money, thus turning waste into treasure.
Ye Dongqing is used to eating these things, but Laura has a psychological burden, not trying to eat offal, just drinking some soup, small bowl after small bowl, and is full of praise for the taste of braised little rooster.
Mercedes-Benz big G parked on the side of the street is not a problem, now it is only six o'clock, there are a lot of pedestrians on the road, if it is night, it is difficult to say. It's only a 10-minute walk from Wall Street, but it's like two worlds, New York has grown for hundreds of years, resulting in the coexistence of old and new buildings, some as protected attractions, some as slums, and the difference between New York in the eyes of the rich and New York in the eyes of the poor.
The three dishes and one soup cost more than 50 dollars in total, which is quite affordable, and before I finished eating, I received a call from an employee of the consulting company, telling him to help contact the two companies and ask him to go back and have a look.
So Ye Dongqing took Laura back to Wall Street, parked the car and walked to YPO Consulting.
The boss of a consulting company named Robertson looked at Ye Dongqing as if he was looking at the wronged man, for the sake of an RIA financial license, he was willing to take on millions of dollars in debt, what is this not the wronged boss?
RIAs are difficult for financial firms outside the U.S. to apply for, but on Wall Street, almost every company with decent size and procedures has this kind of financial license, given the rate of bankruptcies of Wall Street companies, especially recently after the collapse of the dot-com bubble.
In the past few years, Wall Street companies have been keen to invest in IT industry stocks, many people have made money, and many people have lost so much that they vomit blood, and a large number of fund companies that originally managed tens of millions and hundreds of millions of dollars have declared bankruptcy.
Invited to sit down in the office, Mr. Robertson had a smile on his face, asked his assistant to help make two cups of tea, and asked, "This gentleman, I think you seem to be very young, how did you think of coming to Wall Street to start a company?"
"Where else is there more honing than Wall Street? People often tell me that if you want to do business, you should come here for a while to practice and learn some experience, so I want to start a company, do a fund business, hedge funds or something. ”
Ye Dongqing said vaguely, New York is quite realistic, Wall Street is even more realistic, he doesn't want others to find out his details, otherwise most of them will be looked down upon, and business will not be able to do.
A little guy came to Wall Street to start a financial company, Mr. Robertson naturally thinks that Ye Dongqing's family has some money, and ordinary children will not have this kind of courage, I believe that he really wants to buy the company, not to entertain himself.
He handed over the three fax documents that had not yet had time to be wrapped into Ye Dongqing's hands, and said: "Recently, the fund company has almost been wiped out, and a large group of investors no longer believe in them, but these fund managers are not bad, and they have made enough money in the past few years, after all, no matter the ups and downs, they make money by charging management fees and commissions, which is a no-capital transaction."
Now traditional funds are not as popular as hedge funds, I would recommend that you go into this field after completing the acquisition, these are the three companies that we helped you find, you take a look first, if you are not satisfied I can find more, and then I will definitely help you negotiate the right price. ”
"Well, I know that it's better to have a ready-made office space and staff, smart employees with Series 3, 6, 7, 67, 65, 66 licenses. ”
"It's great, there are two companies that meet your requirements, if you can not lay off employees, I believe you can negotiate a more suitable price, there are unemployed people with these certificates everywhere, even I have a Series66, it took me a lot of effort to study the certificate, and then I didn't use it at all. ”
Mr. Robertson handed Ye Dongqing a cigar as he spoke, and he took it and lit it, this thing is not a big problem to smoke less.
The overall situation of the industry is not ideal, there are many unemployed employees, and there are many bankrupt companies, which gives Ye Dongqing a lot of room to choose.
In fact, RIA is not a necessary condition, but having an RIA license means that the company has been powerful for a period of time, at least about 25 million US dollars in assets, relatively speaking, it will be more perfect, rather than only one or two people "Little Pheasant Financial Management Company", he wants a ready-made platform to save time.
Looking down and looking at it quickly, the data on a document made Ye Dongqing interested, and asked: "This freshwater fund company has not gone bankrupt and still manages more than six million US dollars in assets, why is it going to be sold?"
