Chapter 179: An Important Ally
On July 2, as soon as the national team was disbanded, Jonas immediately came to the school to take the make-up exam.
But to his surprise, Schwarch, the dean of the Faculty of Economics, received him in person and did not prepare the exam papers for him.
"Jonas, I know that your purpose in staying in school is not just to get a diploma, but to really learn something. So, I don't think the exam process is important, do I?"
"Professor Schwarch, in addition to me personally, I am also a junior in a family, and for my grandmother, it may be more reassuring to get credits through the exams. ”
Schwarch, the dean of the School of Economics, who was already kind, was even more kind at this time, he smiled and patted Jonas on the shoulder and said: "In addition to subsidizing you financially, the school can help you in education."
You have more money than our college allocates each year, and you don't need a subsidy financially. Therefore, after the consultation of the School of Economics, we can give you some convenience in terms of education.
As long as you are willing to continue your studies in school, lecturers in any subject and in any profession, including professors, can provide you with some convenience. ”
Jonas was a little confused about his bottom line, and asked with some hesitation, "What do you mean...... Even if I want to be your graduate student, that's okay?"
Schwarch laughed: "Although I haven't taken students in the past few years, if you want to study with me, I should still be able to find time to guide you." ”
Schwarch is not the best economist in the world, but he is also one of the best.
At the national think tank, he was one of the main leaders.
In the field of education, he is Dean of the Faculty of Economics at the University of Zurich.
He is known as the best economist in academia with three economic books.
In the business world, he is a strategic advisor to five Fortune 500 financial groups: UBS, Credit Suisse, Zurich Insurance Group, Swiss Re Group, and Chubb Insurance Group.
The so-called strategic consultant does not participate in specific operation and management, but only participates in the design of development direction.
If he was just a consultant to a financial consortium, he might have been Mr. Nanguo, but all five of them hired him, which was enough to prove his ability.
Moreover, these five financial consortia were all banks and insurance companies with super influence in the world in later generations, and the role he played in this can be imagined.
Jonas suppressed his excitement and said, "I'd rather have the professor help me plan my current Hoffman investment bank." ”
Becoming a student of Schwartz was three years later, and it would be more affordable for him to help him design a framework suitable for the development of Hoffman's investment bank from the beginning.
Schwarch laughed and said, "Your investment bank is too small, and for me, a macroeconomist, I may not be able to play a role as well as Professor Hugo." ”
Jonas also understands this, just like he asked Erwin for tutoring, which was more effective than going directly to Professor Hugo.
Schwarch is able to design the structure and direction of the development direction of a financial group with hundreds of billions of funds under management, and only the intricacies of the situation can show his ability.
Jonas's Hoffman Investment Bank is now just a small institution with only more than 100 million of its own funds and more than 2 billion yuan of funds under management.
What's more, Hoffman Investment Bank now determines that the investment direction is only Dongying, unlike other institutions that have thousands of investment projects, so it is overkill to find Schwarch.
However, Jonas's purpose was not this, and he smiled again: "For me, the professor is the beacon of my life, and if I can get the guidance of the professor in my future development, I will be very satisfied." ”
Originally, becoming Schwarch's student was just an option he offered, but rejecting Jonas's other request, becoming his student seemed to be just a foundation.
It's like Jonas using a request that he can't meet, so that his bottom line is lifted up, and the weight of the promise is a little heavier.
Schwarch, of course, was not stupid, and directly saw through Jonas's intentions, but he smiled generously: "Come on, in the next few years, you will get the full support of UBS and Credit Suisse." ”
Jonas asked, "The professor is also optimistic about Dongying's economy?"
Schwarch is a strategic consultant, and although he will not be involved in specific affairs, he can always get the first news about the direction adjustment of some sensitive issues.
Jonas now works closely with UBS and Credit Suisse, and it is not surprising that he knows Hoffman's moves.
However, Jonas is not worried that the two banks will get involved in investment affairs, because the basis of commercial banks is not to participate in specific investments, but only to provide funds for enterprises and individuals.
The closer they are to Jonas, the more they will defend Jonas's interests.
Schwarch nodded and said: "Although Dongying is limited by the supply and demand of raw materials, their real economy has formed its own industrial system in electronics, heavy industry and other industries. Until their real economy is not under pressure, until their domestic market is saturated, investments in the financial direction are indeed profitable. However, be aware of future risks......"
That's a subtle point from Schwartz, who, as an economist, doesn't get it through.
This sentence seems ordinary, but it reveals two meanings, one is that Dongying's economy is still relatively stable and is a good opportunity for investment, and the other is to pay attention to the impact of future finance on the real economy.
In addition, he promised earlier that he would use his influence to strengthen the support of the two commercial banks for Jonas's Hoffman Investment Bank, so he has done his best for Jonas.
Jonas reciprocated: "I think that in order to narrow the trade deficit, Armenia will force the dollar to depreciate against the currencies of Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries in the near future, and this future will not exceed the end of next year." ”
Hearing Jonas's words, Schwarch couldn't help but sit up straight and look at Jonas with a little surprise. "These are your judgments, on what basis?"
At this point, Jonas was a little unable to respond. He did not have the ability to analyze the economic trend in detail, so he could only say: "The exports of Dongying and Europe have affected the development of the real economy in Armenia, and at such a time, Armenia will not insist on the depreciation of the dollar." ”
Although this answer is only general, macroscopic, and not professional at all.
However, Schwarch does not believe that Jonas's professional ability has been able to analyze the development trend of the international economy. He asked, "So how do you determine that this time period is before the end of next year?"
Jonas spread his hands. "After a comprehensive analysis of all aspects, that's why I will go all out to the Dongying market. ”
Schwarch shook his head and smiled: "Although you don't accumulate enough, but you are lucky enough, although this investment is a bit risky, it may really make you bet right." ”
School has been closed and most of the streets have become quieter.
Jonas sat in the car and muttered for a long time before he said to Kaya Young, "Drive." ”
Kaeya Young turned around and asked, "Where are you going?"
Jonas paused for a moment, and today he left all his affairs behind just to come to the exam.
But now, without the exam, he's fine.
He thought for a moment and said, "Go back to Lucerne." ”
Dinah's maternal grandfather, Siegfried, was seriously ill and was admitted to the hospital, where Hannah is going to visit today.
Rosengart is one of the closest members of the Hoffman family, and Jonas should also pay a visit.
After the crossing, Jonas really realized that in his position, in addition to grasping the direction of the company's development, his most important job was not daily work, but social activities.
Socializing, maintaining social relationships, is far more important than working 10 hours a day.
He doesn't need to personally stare at everything in the company every day, he has to do to trust the ability of his subordinates.
On the way back, Jonas was still thinking about Schwarch.
He now doesn't know whether Schwartz's statement just now represents an individual or a collective behind it.
In terms of personal capital, he does not have as much as Yonas, but in terms of social status and influence, he is not as good as Jonas now.
People like him don't care about money anymore, and if needed, he can mobilize far more money than Jonas.
Just like the central bank governors or economic and trade ministers of later generations, they do not have much personal assets, but one decision of theirs can affect the flow of hundreds of billions of funds.
At this time, Jonas was a little glad that he insisted on studying in school, which was actually a good move.
It would be very difficult for economists like Schwarch and Professor Hugo to establish a personal relationship with them if Jonas were not a student at the University of Zurich.
School is not only a place of learning, but also an important platform for relationships.
Jonas had already made up his mind to become a student of Schwarch after his undergraduate studies if the future was possible.
At Hosset's hospital, which is only two kilometers from Jonas's house, Hannah has returned from the hospital, where only Dinah is with her mother.
Jonas glanced at Siegfried in the emergency room through the glass, comforted Aunt Angela, and asked Dinah, "What about Kostler?"
He was called away by Giovannay, and Sheffield, who wanted to organise a summer lawn party. ”
Jonas felt something bad and asked, "Where?"
Dinah glanced at him and said, "What better place could there be?"
Jonas said hatefully, "I'm going to kick this bastard out of Giovanne today." ”
Giovanne is a very suitable person to be a friend, enthusiastic, generous, cheerful, and informal.
He and Kostler quickly became good friends. Jonasken accepted Ferrari's endorsement, and Kostler also played a lot behind the scenes.
And, of course, he got a Ferrari for it.
Dinah laughed, but Angela was happy to watch the two of them amused.
Jonas hugged her and kissed her on the cheek, and said goodbye, "Aunt Angela, I'm going to go back quickly, I'm afraid a few bastards will make a mess of my house." ”
