Rogers, of course, had a very detailed understanding of Hoffman's investment bank before deciding to work with Jonas.

Although Seaman Investment is stronger, its members are complex, and a group of management members compete for power and profit.

Although he is famous, he is not even a member of an interest group now, so it is not his turn to lead the direction of investment.

Even if he joins Seaman Investments, he can only be a peripheral member at best, leading an investment group.

But Hoffman Investment Bank, which was originally a core company, was spun off into an empty shell and returned to Jonas after Yannick's death.

Because of this, the personnel relationship of this investment bank is simple, and Jonas alone has the final say.

By joining the investment bank, Rogers can not only become a core partner, but also borrow the power of interest groups.

The beginning and end of the 8.1 shooting made Rogers see something different.

The interest group took such pains to help Jonas solve his worries, not only because of Yannick's affection, but also because he was cultivating Jonas as a reserve talent.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have washed Jonas so cleanly.

If it is just for a woman to be jealous, Harvey Weinstein uses a gunman, which is too much to reduce the IQ of the audience.

If Harvey were such a fool, he would not have become a millionaire from scratch.

Rogers is not without background, he still has a group of allies on Wall Street, including elites like Soros.

So it didn't take much to know the reason why Jonas had Harvey's ear cut off and burn their Los Angeles branch in the past.

These things can be easily linked together, and they are not courts, and they do not need evidence to convict.

When he met Jonas in Huaxia, he talked to Jonas about speculation, and the two of them had a lot of consensus on the direction of investment.

More importantly, interest groups do not like to engage in joint-stock companies, and almost all companies are partnerships.

In other words, Rogers becomes a co-partner, and his funds are still under his own control and will not be uniformly allocated.

That's why he was willing to work with Jonas.

First of all, they can borrow the strength of the other party, but they can also control the autonomy, and the advantages of both sides are the same in the plan to invest in Austria.

Now, as long as the question of dominance is negotiated, he can make a decision.

Jonas didn't think as much as Rogers thought because he had experience from his previous life, knew what kind of person Rogers was, and knew that his investment philosophy was in line with his own.

As for the dominance of this investment in the Austrian stock market, he will not care, because the other party is a big man who will be called the "father of the Austrian stock market" in later generations!

Wolf took out the minutes of the previous two days and handed it to Jonas, who hastily saw the final conclusion and said, "So, Jim, you can come up with a total of 100 million funds this time?"

Rogers nodded and said, "I also have a few friends who are willing to invest in, and with the loan, I can raise up a hundred million dollars." ”

Jonas pondered for a moment and asked, "Uncle Wolf, how much money do you have left in your hand now?"

"About $700 million can be withdrawn in the short term, and that's all the reserves. ”

Jonas said: "Tomorrow we will have funding talks with UBS and Credit Suisse to mobilize 700 million dollars in credit guarantees and 300 million loans from them. ”

Wolf smiled: "They have been urging us to take out loans, and now all the 1.6 billion funds we have invested have been exchanged for high-quality assets, not to mention 300 million, even 1.3 billion is no problem." ”

Hearing this, Rogers felt extremely envious.

Because of the interest groups behind him, Jonas was able to easily raise $2.3 billion, and the banks rushed to give him loans.

But it is even more difficult for a speculator like him to raise a little money.

Jonas looked at Rogers and said, "Jim, our investment bank can come up with a billion dollars to operate this investment opportunity, in addition to the necessary capital control, I can hand over the investment leadership to you." ”

Rogers was not ecstatic, it turned out that in the Quantum Fund, he did not have a billion-level fund in his hands.

Instead, he calmed down and asked, "What about your conditions?"

"Hoffman Investment Bank has the right of first refusal. ”

Rodgers is not surprised, he is the leader of the investment, so when there is a risk, of course, it is the Jonas side that has the right to withdraw the funds first, and also has the right to be the first to liquidate. "That's as it should be. ”

Jonas added: "Although you are in charge, I need you to focus on the automotive and motorcycle industry in Austria, and if possible, I will get involved in this industry in the future." ”

Although there is only one Steyr car factory in Austria, the country's spare parts industry is not weak at all. Many spare parts for German cars are made in Austria.

Moreover, the KTM motorcycles in this country are world-class motorcycles.

Jonas will not operate these auto parts or automobile manufacturers, but he can use his financial advantages to integrate parts factories and assembly plants, and lay out this industry in China in the future.

Rogers wasn't surprised.

When he met Jonas in China, he had the heirs of Fiat and the heirs of BMW. If Jonas doesn't have this idea, it only shows that Jonas is stupid.

As a banker, if you want to expand your influence, you must lay out in the industrial side.

Although the profits of industry are not comparable to those of the financial industry, they have a role in driving the economy of a country or region, which cannot be compared with those of financiers.

In the case of Fiat, for example, their family's wealth is not as rich as many banker families, but their influence is not comparable to that of ten bankers who are richer than them.

The total economic value of Fiat is almost one-tenth of the total economy of the Italian state, and millions of people work for Fiat-related businesses to survive, and if something goes wrong, they will affect millions of people.

What about bankers? Even if a large bank goes bankrupt, it will affect tens of thousands of people at most, and the people in the relevant industries will be easily diverted to other banks, which will not have much impact on the stability of the country.

So, if you want to expand your influence, a banker can't just be a banker.

Rogers heard Jonas and asked, "Do you have any special requests?"

Parts factories and parts factories are also different, some have no core technology, can only rough processing enterprises, no matter how much control is useless.

And some enterprises, although small, but have their own core technology, irreplaceable, so it is worth spending a big price to control.

"The first target is companies with complete intellectual property rights, technical property rights, and a specific list that we can look at later," Jonas said. ”

Rogers felt that neither of these conditions was a big deal and would not affect the entire investment plan. Then he asked, "Are there any other conditions?"

Jonas smiled: "This is only our first cooperation, and these two conditions are enough. Only with more basis for cooperation will our cooperation be sustained. ”

Rogers was very pleased with the result, saying, "I will not forget your kindness, maybe this time next year, we can be real partners." Of course, I also have a condition......"

Jonas laughed: "I know that if your investment plan can be fully implemented, maybe you won't have to wait until next year for you to become our member." You know, these billion dollars are all the funds of other members. A member who can help them make money, no one will turn them away. ”

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

The two men shook hands again before they began negotiations on the details.

Although the investment trader is Rogers, it does not mean that he can use all the funds without restrictions, and every investment, every allocation of funds, must set a safety line and a warning line.

Negotiations on the details of this will be more difficult than negotiations on the framework.

However, at this time, it is mainly the subordinates of both sides to negotiate.

Halfway through, when Rogers went to the bathroom, Jonas asked Wolfe. "Uncle Wolf, where have you been in the plan for the establishment of the consortium?"

Wolf smiled and shook his head and said, "It's more difficult for me, although I have some experience in asset management, framework setting. But I haven't really done this after all, it's all on paper.

Don't you have a good relationship with Schwarch at the School of Economics? He's a real expert. UBS, Credit Suisse, and Swiss Re Group's macro development plans were all designed by him. ”

Jonas laughed, "If you don't make a preliminary plan, what can I do to ask Dean Schwarch?"

He couldn't help but laugh, and the laughter grew lower, and his face became serious. "Don't you think you're too radical, Jonas?"

"Maybe, but I'll also set a safety line, and if the financial and material resources are exceeded, I'll slow down the plan. ”

Wolf nodded and said, "I thought Yannick was already a genius, but now I realize that you are even more of a genius. If your plan can be realized, I am sure that I will be proud of it for the rest of my life. ”

Stepping from the financial world to the industrial industry is not only an extension of capital, but also a fusion of two different industries.

Before Jonas, countless bankers and industrialists wanted to do this, but very few succeeded.

Jonas is still weak in the foundation compared to those people, but he has such ambitions, to put it mildly, he doesn't know how high the sky is.

However, Wolf found that Jonas found this fit point very well, and it may be difficult to shape the car assembly and car brand, but the integration of the auto parts industry still has the opportunity to enter.

At present, in the world, in addition to the Bosch Group, Continental Group, a few large groups, can easily form an industrial chain by splicing the strength of Hoffmann Investment Bank.

As long as the parts company controlled by Jonas can form an industrial chain, then it can also indirectly control an industry.

So, he went from shock and opposition at the beginning to support.

If it succeeds, Hoffman Investment Bank will no longer be a dispensable investment bank, but a financial hegemon.
