Chapter 304: The European Debt Crisis at First Discussion
As soon as he returned to Silicon Valley, Zhou Shi received an uninvited guest. Jonathan, an executive in Lehman's European fixed income and bond division, had no idea why he had to meet him.
"Jonathan, why do you have to see me? Isn't it better to find Galaxy Capital and Tianhe Securities for your affairs, you must know that what I am best at is the Internet. "Zhou Shi
"But I want to go straight to someone who can call the shots. "Jonathan
"It's Lu He or Gregory who are in direct charge, and they're all experts," Zhou Shi said
"I think you can be their master," Jonathan stared at Zhou Shi nervously
"I can reconcile their contradictions and choose to support one side when they have differences, but I can't be their master. Zhou Shi said slowly, not caring about the leakage of the news at all.
"That's enough, I believe that my ability and contribution will allow me to get more value from you than from one of them directly. "Jonathan
"Oh, so confident, let's hear it. Zhou Shi was also a little interested when he saw such a confident speculator.
"I started working in Goldman Sachs in 1999 and then moved to Lehman in 2004 until now. "Jonathan
"What does this mean?" said Zhou Shi
"It doesn't mean anything, it all started in 2001, when Greece had just entered the eurozone...... "Jonathan's words just began, and Zhou Shi knew what was going on. Zhou Shi was a little hesitant, he had never talked to anyone about the European debt crisis before today, but now that he suddenly opened his mouth, I am afraid that there will be many bad associations. For example, is it the support of the Huaxia government that makes Tianhe Securities' information one step ahead, and whether the subsequent short-selling is supported by the Huaxia government? Then let's fulfill Jonathan! Zhou Shi nodded secretly and listened carefully to Jonathan's explanation.
"Okay, I think what you said makes a lot of sense, what do you want?" Zhou Shi interrupted him.
"I'm ......," Jonathan hesitated
"Don't you mean that the debt crisis in Europe may erupt in this financial crisis, and you want Lehman to get involved! No problem, but you need to discuss what to do, and I support your point of view. ”
"Ahh
"When Lu He completes this fundraising, let's have a meeting with him, Gregory and the others, discuss it, and you can also improve and supplement the details, how about it!" Zhou Shi
"Okay!" Jonathan walked out in a daze.
Zhou Shi has an impact on the European debt crisis, but he doesn't know anything about the impact of the European debt crisis, at most the rise in gold prices has something to do with him. After all, in a chaotic world, gold is the best store of value.
A few days later, Gregory and Lu He arrived in Silicon Valley, and for Tianhe Securities to develop into a global company, its headquarters could not be located outside Wall Street, with its European headquarters in London, Asia-Pacific in Xiangjiang, Japan in Tokyo, and Middle East headquarters in Bahrain. This financing journey is not over yet, and there are now more than 10 billion US dollars of investment intentions. But not everyone will want funds in the middle, and they still need to grasp how to choose. Moreover, the highest fee standard in the industry, the 5-year investment period is not acceptable to everyone, and it is not yet known how large the Xuanwu Fund will be.
After the arrival of the two, there is little opinion about the European debt crisis, that is almost certain. The probability that Europe will survive such a big thing in the United States is too low, and even if there is no problem in the first place, they will create a problem. Gregory also euphemistically mentioned that Zhou Shi also had a score in his heart. The so-called European pig five, they themselves have problems, but what role Wall Street played in it, it is unknown.
"We can get involved, but it's better not to get too deep. "Gregory
"I also think we need to be cautious this time. "Lu He
"In this case, let him be in charge of this project alone, our main force will not be involved, but the internal compliance department and risk control department should play a role as soon as possible. Zhou Shi didn't know what they thought, if they didn't have the courage to show their swords when Wall Street's power was at its lowest, Tianhe Securities' final achievements might be very limited. However, the European debt crisis is not urgent, in Zhou Shi's impression, this matter broke out at the end of 2009, and they have time to integrate the team and prepare for the harvest.
"By the way, after Suzaku completes the clearance, he will immediately set up a new fund and leave a billion dollars for those who play a key role in Lehman's development, what do you think?" Zhou Shi asked Lu He, although this was a matter for Galaxy Capital, he still said it in front of Gregory. To tell the truth, Zhou Shi is actually quite jealous of Gregory, as the former COO of Lehman, his status in the financial circle is actually far greater than Zhou Shi and Lu He, let him enter Tianhe Securities, almost with the tiger's skin, if he is not careful, he will make a wedding dress for others. Fortunately, since he left school, he has been studying psychology on his own, and after the earthquake, he has studied Chinese Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture, Zhou Shi feels that he has made a lot of progress. Moreover, the cultural background of Western society, the aura brought to him by wealth is dazzling enough, and the wealth of tens of billions of dollars is very rare in the world. Gregory does not have the capital to be arrogant in front of Zhou Shi for the time being, after all, if Gregory goes too far, Zhou Shi can completely eliminate his power from Tianhe Securities after paying a certain price.
"Got it, I'll take notice. Lu He replied simply, without saying much, in case Gregory took the opportunity to enter Galaxy Capital, it would not be a good thing for him.
Watching the two leave, Zhou Shi's heart was still a little fluctuating. In the past, in order to develop rapidly and motivate employees, most of them were treated equally, and under the effect of advanced ideas and abundant funds, they grew savagely! Domestic companies are not necessarily, otherwise Gome would not have been seized by Chen Xiao.
Now that the financial crisis is facing, and most companies are facing difficulties, Zhou Shi arranged for the company to expand aggressively, open up new areas, and began to split the companies that had gathered together across the country. His purpose is simple, to distract everyone and at the same time clean up the garbage inside the company. Chen Wen was also arranged by him to become the head of the group's compliance department, he intends to make the compliance department independent or at least improve its status, and the management of personnel and finance should also be divided into Chen Wen's hands, of course, the powerful legal department must also be in the hands of Zhou Shi, only in this way will it not get out of control. As for the appointment and dismissal of personnel at the top, the right to make decisions on major issues, and the right to veto, this is a right that he has not and cannot give up.
