Chapter 445: Gorman
Growing to the point of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley, it is basically unrealistic for other investment banks to beat each other head-to-head. Unless they die of their own accord, do things in anger and resentment, and let a few great powers in the world resist them. Unfortunately, this possibility is too slim.
Zhou Shi actually has no idea about Tianhe Securities, even in the financial crisis, he only tried hard to acquire Lehman, and he was fortunate to have lost his life. But now that he has the opportunity to go further, he naturally wants to develop well.
In the past two years, the financial market has been turbulent, and Zhou Shi's acquisitions are mainly concentrated in the United States and China, and the development of Europe is naturally neglected. However, it is so chaotic that it is difficult to forgive Lu He, and the reason for Gregory's retirement from Tianhe Securities is very nonsense, but Zhou Shi will not stop it.
"Mr. Zhou, the privacy leakage crisis on the side of Friends.com has intensified, and it is possible to be prosecuted. Chen Wen went to Silicon Valley ahead of schedule, and there were a lot of things she needed to coordinate.
"Do we have definite evidence?" said Zhou Shi
"It's useless, now no one pays attention to our evidence, and we hold on to the fact that our privacy has been leaked, and many people frame us for not being able to handle security issues. "Chen Wen
"Then wait a minute, we gather information and let things ferment further, find out who is causing trouble, and prepare for the worst while waiting for the right time to fight back. "Zhou Shi
……
Friends and Tianhe Securities have problems, and I don't know if there is any connection, but Zhou Shi is not prepared to deal with these things at the rhythm of others. He is ready to get the matter to the end and not let go of those who do it directly. The first to shoot was the fan who committed the murder, and it is one thing to investigate who is behind it, and it is another thing to punish him. Not only will he be held civilly liable, but he will also be held criminally liable.
The reorganization of the Asia-Pacific branch of Tianhe Securities was handed over to Gregory, Hu Guniu and Yuan Tianfa, and Zhou Shi did nothing, and even had time to inspect the chartered semiconductor company.
"Why don't you decide not to participate in the specific adjustments?" Li Ying came to Zhou Shi's side, and today they were relaxing in Sentosa, Singapore.
"That's not what I'm good at, and if they can't handle it yet, there's no way I'll go myself. "Zhou Shi
"But if you don't go, will the company still be yours in the future?" Li Ying
"I don't want Tianhe Securities to be my company, as long as I can maintain limited control. "Zhou Shi
"Limited control, why?" said Li Ying
"Our identity limits the development of the company, so we have to be selective," Zhou Shi
"You mean to bring in strategic investors?" said Li Ying
"Almost!" Zhou Shi only had a faint thought
"Aren't you afraid that the partner you introduced is behind the scenes?" Li Ying
"What's the matter? I only do what's best for the company. "Zhou Shi
"But Mr. Lu ......" Li Ying
"Could it be that our current ability really can't find out who is harming people?" Zhou Shi
"Since you don't want to get involved here, why don't you go to England, it's been a few days since the incident, and we haven't gone to see Mr. Lu, is it appropriate?" Li Ying
"Not suitable, but some things are more important. "Zhou Shi
"What's the matter?" said Li Ying
"I'm waiting for someone. "Zhou Shi
"Who are you waiting for, it's so important!" Li Ying
"A former executive of Lehman was very capable, but he was unlucky and had not been well played, and he almost sank with Lehman" Zhou Shi
"Who the hell is it!"
"James Gorman, you probably don't know. "Zhou Shi
"I seem to have heard of it, can you tell me more specific, his resume?"
He was an Australian lawyer who later worked at McKinsey & Company, and was hired by David Komansky, the former president of Merrill Lynch, as the company's head of marketing, but because of his outstanding performance, he was excluded from Merrill Lynch and joined Lehman, where he also showed outstanding ability. However, Lehman's complex working environment has greatly limited his development, and he is one of the layoffs at Barclays, and he has not yet begun to find a home. "Zhou Shi
"I seem to have heard of this person, and everyone who knows admires him," Li Ying
"Yes, after Gregory introduced me to this man, so did the man I sent to get the information. "Zhou Shi
"What position are you going to give him? Waiting for him for so long. "Li Ying
"CEO of Tianhe Securities!" Zhou Shi said flatly
"Is this appropriate?" Li Ying frowned, is it really appropriate to let a newcomer be the CEO, besides, James Gorman's ability is only heard, and it may not be suitable for the current Tianhe Securities.
Zhou Shi is not as worried as Li Ying, he is more worried that James Gorman will not look down on the current Tianhe Securities. You know, if nothing else, James Gorman would have been the CEO of Morgan Stanley and the future chairman of Da Mo. But now the chairman of Da Mo is actually the former Merrill Lynch chief operating officer Feleming. It can be seen that the butterfly effect has deeply affected the current world and changed the trajectory of many people's destiny.
"I'll talk to him first!" Zhou Shi
"Gregory retired on his own, and then recommended James Gorman to take over as CEO of Tianhe Securities?"
"No, he wants Gorman to be the chairman and CEO of the European company," Zhou Shi
"You're so optimistic about him?" Li Ying
"I feel like this guy is a good fit. "Zhou Shi
Li Ying saw that Zhou Shi had made up his mind, so he didn't say much. The next day, 51-year-old James Gorman came to their beach for relaxation. A legendary conversation began that would be seen as friendly to posterity.
"Simon, thank you for the invitation, I am very touched by your sincerity, if it is just a general position, I am willing to accept, but the CEO of Tianhe Securities, I still want to refuse. Gorman was surprised by Zhou's unexpected decision, but quickly regained his composure.
"Can you tell me the real reason?" Zhou Shi was not surprised, he still did not give up, in this life, Gorman's work resume was not very successful, mainly because he suffered Waterloo at Lehman. Therefore, even if he changes jobs to other companies and misses the opportunity, it will be difficult for his future achievements to reach the status of his previous life. However, he still has pride, but under the oppression of reality, most of such people have sunk. Zhou Shi knew his success, so he was willing to take risks and give him a chance.
"I don't think a private company has much of a future. Gorman was a little hesitant, but thinking of Zhou Shi's comments, he still said it directly.
"I didn't want to keep this securities company in the status quo, and I didn't want to have Tianhe Securities all the time. "Zhou Shi
"Even losing a controlling stake is acceptable. "Gorman
"Yes, as long as it is conducive to the development of the company and ensures that I have a certain influence in the company, everything else can be considered. Zhou Shi, "Do you have anything else to worry about?"
"Is it okay to lose the name Tianhe Securities?" said Gorman
"Of course, if necessary, the name can be changed!" Zhou Shi
