Chapter 169: The Team
Jonas's current office was also designed by Yannick, a leader with a flamboyant personality and his own office is very luxurious and comfortable.
Because the contract had already been signed, Jonas had no intention of changing the contract, and everything was completed according to the original design.
The office had two rooms, one for the office and the other for the small reception room, and Jonas invited Wolf to sit down on a comfortable sofa in the reception room.
"Tea or coffee?"
"I drank a lot of good tea in Dongying, so let's bring me a cup of fragrant coffee." ”
Jonas turned on the coffee machine in the bar area and put the roasted beans in it to get the machine to work.
When Jonas came back and sat down on the couch, Wolf said, "You can't imagine how economically active that country is until you go to Dongying. With the rapid development of Dongying's economy and the money in the hands of the people, a large amount of capital has flowed into the market, whether it is the securities market, the foreign exchange market, or the development of the real estate market.
The country is small, but the population is not large at all. In the capital region alone, there are more than 20 million people, which has made the local real estate market always seem to be in short supply.
So, Jonas, you made the right choice to enter the real estate market in the first place.
This market hardly requires any level of investment, as long as you have the capital to start, you can enjoy the dividends brought by development. ”
Jonas nodded and said with a smile, "Look at the way you look, you have become a fan?"
Wolf laughed, "No, I'm just very interested in their economy. It was a magical country, and their economy was growing far faster than the European economic golden age of the fifties and sixties. ”
Jonas certainly knew how crazy Toei's economic development was before the 90s, and until 2019, when housing prices in Tokyo were only half of what they were in '91.
They are clamoring to buy the whole world, but not just a slogan, but their strength is indeed very strong.
Since the early 80s, Dongying's GDP has exceeded half of Armenia's, far exceeding that of Britain, France and Germany.
These three countries, any two countries combined, are not as good as Dongying.
In 83, Dongying's GDP was 1.24 trillion US dollars, followed by Germany only more than 700 billion, France only more than 500 billion, and Britain even less, only more than 400 billion US dollars.
The numbers are just cold figures, but when you go to Dongying, you can know that the vitality of the economy is far from being comparable to that of the Europeans who are greedy for enjoyment.
Jonas asked, "You should know about Adtic's redesigned investment plan, right?"
Wolf nodded and said, "I've heard about it, but I don't know much about it." Jonas, if you want to do this now, why did you let go of the original foundation of Hoffman Investment Bank and let them set up Seaman Investment now?"
Jonas smiled and asked: "I don't think I can have the prestige of my father, and if it weren't for Adik to design the investment structure based on the current Hoffman investment bank, do you think I can really control the original Hoffman investment bank?"
Wolf understood, and Jonas abandoned Hoffman's investment bank to avoid competing for power with Fedward.
He only left a group of people who were willing to stay in the Ministry of Information, and in the Ministry of Investment, only Bennett was willing to work with him.
Although it seems to be weak now, the streamlined Hoffman investment bank completely belongs to Jonas.
This investment in Dongying and the establishment of an investment committee still did not leave an opportunity for others to meddle in Hoffman's investment banking power.
However, Hoffman Investment Bank can take this opportunity to develop and grow.
As long as this investment goes well, there is no need to worry about future funds and talents.
Jonas began communicating with Wolf about the structure and staffing of the new Investment Committee.
After the coffee was brewed, Wolf got up to pour it, and Jonas showed Wolf the printed structure of the investment committee.
As an economist in asset management, Wolf can fully understand just by looking at it once.
Then, he couldn't help but laugh and quip: "If it weren't for hearing that Mrs. DeHertz and Miss DeHertz are upstairs, I can't believe that Addic would have developed such a strict but biased management structure for you." It seems that DeHertz has already seen you as a son-in-law. ”
Before the words fell, Bennett, who was dressed as an artist, knocked on the door and said with a smile at the door: "We at Hoffman Investment Bank now have the assistance of Adik, a human resources company, and we don't have to worry about finding talents in any field in the future." ”
Jonas laughed and beckoned. "Bennett, come in, let's just have a discussion. …… Shut the door. ”
Bennett closed the door, patted his suit on his face in a conspicuous manner, and said: "The price of goods in Zurich is at least 30 percent higher than in London, and I will never buy clothes in Zurich next time." ”
His bohemian and old-fashioned and serious Wolf are two extremes, and Wolf can't accept such a character.
However, he knew about Bennett's abilities at the beginning, so he was more tolerant of this capable person, but it was impossible to be a friend.
Jonas also needs them to do the same, and the two main managers don't get along, so he can easily manage.
So, he consciously or unconsciously loosened the restraints on Bennett and deliberately caused their division.
Pushing his coffee to Bennett, Jonas got up and poured himself another cup of coffee. This time, he added a sugar cube and took milk from the refrigerator next to him and added a little.
After taking a sip, he said: "Adicia has now formed a close strategic alliance with Hoffmann, which allows us to save a lot of worry in terms of personnel and management. Now, both of you can focus most of your energy on investing. ”
Both of them nodded, they were more concerned about their own positioning, so they didn't interrupt Jonas and listened to him.
Of course, Jonas also knew this, so he didn't sell much, and said directly to them: "Uncle Wolf, you are the right person to be the head of the asset management department. You will be responsible for the operation, allocation, and risk assessment of the entire company.
Bennett, the situation on the side of the financial investment department is going to be a little more complicated, and I will try to get you as much money as possible, but you should also know that you are not going to get much money until at least next September.
Moreover, you have quite a few competitors. However, the position of director on the side of the financial investment department can only belong to you. ”
As a trader, although Jonas trusts Bennett, but now on the side of the investment management committee, other partners who are willing to take out the money may not be able to trust Bennett.
Moreover, no matter which large investment company is, it will not let one person handle the funds, and at least three groups will be arranged to compete.
In this way, not only is the funds more secure, but the management funds of each group can be adjusted according to the rate of return.
Bennett nodded, he was more familiar with this model than Jonas, as long as he could be a supervisor and not be bound by his boss, he was not afraid to compete with anyone.
But he couldn't help but ask. "Jonas, this is not the first time you have said that this is September, and so far, I have not found out what kind of node next September will be. Can you give me any clarification?"
Jonas said with some reservations: "This is a point in time when I have assessed the emergence of variables based on the economic development of the United States, Japan, Britain, France, and Germany. ”
"What variables?"
"In order to expand the competitiveness of industrial products, Armenia should force the timing of the depreciation of the dollar. ”
Bennett and Wolff were both dumbfounded, and the two of them looked at each other before realizing that they had heard correctly.
Although they have believed that Armenia will depreciate the dollar in the future according to Jonas's judgment and international economic development trends, it is a bit child's joke to give an accurate time point for Jonas.
This is not a matter of a few days, three months, but a full year and a half from now!
Jonas added: "At the moment, I'm confident in my predictions, so the investment strategy of the two of you is mainly to grasp two points.
First, the sustained upward momentum of Dongying's economic development, and second, the depreciation of the US dollar will be realized in the second half of next year. ”
Wolfe, on his side, is a little better, he will not be in charge of financial investments, but he can adjust his investment strategy according to the approximate time period of economic ups and downs.
A little earlier, a little later, it doesn't have much impact.
But Bennett's side is different, as long as there is an approximate time period. He opens a position in the yen in advance. If it is really during this period of time, when the dollar depreciates and the yen rises, then the profit will not be measured in hundreds, but in multiples.
So his performance is the most, and neither of them can believe it themselves, and it is impossible to spread it casually.
Jonas is now telling them that he wants them to have this concept in mind, and set aside time and space for the investment to prepare, and at that time, there will be returns beyond imagination.
As for leaks, there is no need to be afraid at all, because no one can be as sure as Jonas and dare not bet on it.
