"Is Gorman here?" Zhou Shi asked Chen Wen, since Gorman agreed to be the CEO of Tianhe Securities, it has been a whole month, three days ago Zhou Shi looked for him, and actually asked Zhou Shi not to blow, and the angry Zhou Shi wanted to find another one.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Chen Wen responded, although the headquarters of Tianhe Securities is in London, and the headquarters of Galaxy Capital is on Wall Street in New York, but Zhou Shi is in Silicon Valley, so Gorman came to Silicon Valley.

"But it's finally waiting for you!" Zhou Shi got up and greeted Gorman warmly, although in this life, due to Zhou Shi's reasons, he missed the chairman and CEO position of Morgan Stanley, but Zhou Shi compensated him Tianhe Securities, and it is not without a small supplement, after all, the world is unpredictable, who can guarantee that he will succeed?

"A month has finally arrived, but you're blowing it too often and influencing my thinking, what can I do?" Gorman

"This is very difficult, or you will arrive first, and after taking over Tianhe Securities, you will take a month off directly, anyway, if something goes wrong at that time, it is your responsibility, not mine!" Zhou Shi thought for a while and replied

"This is your business, not mine. "Gorman

"I don't think it's just my business, for any aspiring person, it's his business, whether it's the company's management authority or the distribution of wealth, I promise, you won't suffer! "Zhou Shi

"Well, I believe you, this is my business, our business!" Gorman

Of course, this is also premised, if the company's size and profitability are not improving, this is a failed business, and it may not belong to anyone. "Zhou Shi

"I'm still very confident in that. "Gorman

Zhou Shi looked at his confidence, so he smiled and didn't speak, there should be a follow-up.

"I took a look and saw that the company's internal organizational problems have basically been improved, and the next thing to do is to adjust it according to the company's business. I'm wondering, Simon, what are your plans for Tianhe Securities' strategy. "Gorman

"This question is quite complicated, we sat down and drank tea, and said, do you drink tea, this is the West Lake Longjing in China!" Zhou Shi likes to drink tea, but he is not interested in red dust, white tea, and black tea, so he likes to drink green tea.

"Do you have coffee? I like to have coffee. Gorman rejected Zhou Shi's green tea

"I bought some Cubita Coffee during this time, I hope you like it," Zhou Shi

"I like it very much, Cuban Crystal Mountain Coffee, with a slight bitterness and a faint sweetness like wine, and even a faint hint of smoke, delicate and smooth, refreshing and elegant, and the match is almost perfect. "Gorman

"What ????" Zhou Shi looked confused, most of the time he drank coffee because of work needs, refreshment or social needs, although he developed a habit and wanted to drink a few cups from time to time, but most of the time he still drank instantly, basically cow drinks, where do you know these coffee cultures, it is simply a sharp weapon.

"While the taste of a normal coffee is as strong as heavy metal music, Cubita Coffee has a delicately balanced taste like a country tune. It will take you out of the hustle and bustle of the city and back to the quiet little countryside to reflect the relaxed side of life. Gorman said leisurely

"Let's talk about work!" Zhou Shi stopped Gorman's pretense, coffee, red wine, although he has lived in Western society for so long, he still does not have much preference.

"Hey, it's a pity that you don't know how to enjoy such good conditions!" Gorman

"We don't live to enjoy, but to change the world!" Zhou Shi can't pretend to be forced in these life and cultural tastes, so he has to arm himself with ideals.

"You like Steve Jobs so much?" said Gorman

"Hey, barely, I bought a little bit of Apple stock. Zhou Shi sighed helplessly, his pretending skills were still not deep enough.

"Tianhe Securities is mainly a securities department, and other investment management departments and investment banking departments are not strong, so it can be said that we do not have many advantages in Europe or America. And now the investment banking business will also be divided among the big companies after the financial crisis, and if we compete with them head-on, it will be difficult to make them a competitor. So my idea is to take Asia as the center, or to Huaxia as our breakthrough, now the European and American markets to gain a firm foothold, and at the same time to ensure that our position in the Asian market does not decline, waiting for the opportunity, if Huaxia opens up the domestic financial market, or Huaxia's securities market, Tianhe Securities and my control of Modu Securities with the fastest speed to merge. Take advantage of the complementary advantages of the East and the West to complete the final jump and become a large investment bank comparable to Da Mo and Goldman Sachs. "Zhou Shi

"Goldman Sachs' advantage is not only in the financial market, but also in the government, and it is too difficult for us to surpass them. Gorman shook his head

"If the world does not change, then there is nothing wrong with your point of view, but who knows what will become of it in the future? With the development of science and technology and the progress of society, there may be great changes in the form of social organization in the world. I don't believe that a company can be strong for a hundred years, of course, we may not have a chance to surpass them, but how can we be willing if we haven't tried? Dreams always have to be there, what if they come true?" Zhou Shi poured chicken soup.

"Yes, there must be dreams. However, there should be no chance of merger between Tianhe Securities and Modu Securities in the short term!"

It's hard to say, but according to Analysys research, there may be no hope in 10 years. Zhou Shi replied honestly

"There is no hope for ten years, which means that it is still up to us to see our own development"

"Not necessarily, we can have more in-depth cooperation with Modu Securities, even if there is a certain degree of personnel exchange. "Zhou Shi

"Yes, Galaxy Capital controls Tianhe Securities, Simon is one of the top decision-makers of Galaxy Capital, and at the same time, he is also the controlling shareholder of Huaxia Modu Securities, and the controlling shareholder of Sixiang Fund. It's good for us, but it's not enough. "Gorman

"I know, so the future development of the company depends on your efforts" Zhou Shi

"Some things don't just work hard. "Gorman

"What does that depend on?" Zhou Shi

"Acquisitions, the best way to expand in the financial sector is through mergers and acquisitions," Gorman

"Acquisition, is there still a good acquisition target?" Zhou Shi

"Look carefully, there will always be! But the three departments of securities, investment banking and investment management cannot develop at the same time!" said Gorman

"Then which direction do we prioritize?" Zhou Shi

"Securities department!" Gorman replied decisively without hesitation

"Why?" Zhou Shi

"Because this department has the least need for political and business relations, and more competition is based on strength and operational level!" said Gorman

"What about his business scope?" Zhou Shi

"It mainly serves individual and institutional clients, working with institutional clients such as corporations, financial institutions, investment funds and governments to facilitate client trading and provide market-making services in fixed income, equities, currencies and commodities markets, providing market-making services to major stock, options and futures exchanges around the world, and providing financing, securities lending and other institutional brokerage services to institutional clients. "Gorman

"Is there an acquisition target?" said Zhou Shi

"Yes, Citigroup!" said Gorman
