Chapter 485: Michael's Choice
……
The next day, Guo Shouyun came to the headquarters of Phoenix Company, and did not call many people for a meeting, but after going around various departments, he called Michael Moretz, CEO of Phoenix Capital, to his office.
Phoenix Capital is headquartered in Silicon Valley, but since becoming the COO and executive director of Phoenix, it has become his norm to travel between Silicon Valley and New York.
"Sit!"
"Thank you. ”
"It can be seen from your complexion that Phoenix Capital is developing very well!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile after pouring him a glass of water.
"Without your guidance, Phoenix Capital would not have developed so fast!"
Michael Moretz said sincerely.
From the establishment of Phoenix Capital to the present, the companies that Guo Shouyun proposes to invest in, whether it is the earliest ARM, that is, BlackBerry, or later Gilead Sciences, Amgen, Qualcomm, Intel, Broadcom, Nvidia, AMD, GLOBALFOUNDRIES, Starbucks, etc., are all the top three in the market value growth of their respective industries. As for the Internet, this is even more so.
And these many investments have also allowed Phoenix Capital to grow in scale and strength. Especially after swallowing the big cake handed over by Enron Pacific, just its own capital has exceeded 24 billion US dollars. And it is growing at a rapid rate of 8.93% per month.
Therefore, whoever is the CEO of this company and has a stake in it will be sincerely happy and even happy.
Guo Shouyun smiled, "Michael, when it comes to investment, your talent is incomparable. During his tenure as COO of Phoenix, he was also excellent. So, are you interested in moving on to a more challenging job?"
"More challenging work?"
"That's right, like the CEO of an investment bank!"
"You... Is it serious?"
"Of course!" Guo Shouyun nodded affirmatively, "The main work of investment banking is nothing more than securities economy, corporate investment and mergers and acquisitions, wealth management, venture capital and financial analysis, etc., which are not unfamiliar to you in addition to the securities economy." Even if it's doing well, I'm sure you'll do well if you manage an investment bank. ”
Looking at the immortal look on his face, Michael Moritz couldn't help but think.
After a few moments, "Can I know which investment bank it is?"
Since Guo Shouyun asked, it was definitely not Phoenix Company.
"Merrill Lynch!"
"Merrill Lynch?" Michael Moretz's eyes widened instantly.
Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, "You don't think you can't do it, do you?"
"Of course not!"
Successful people have their own pride and have great confidence in their abilities. And when it comes to the speed of development and the scale of its own capital, the Phoenix Capital he manages is no worse than Merrill Lynch!
"Aren't you planning to merge Merrill Lynch with Phoenix?"
Guo Shouyun's coveting of Merrill Lynch is not a secret among the top managers of Phoenix Company. And now, he intends to make himself the CEO of Merrill Lynch, which is obviously abandoning the merger plan of the two parties. Otherwise, the CEO of the new company could only be Stephen Bryan instead of him.
"If it goes well, Phoenix will merge with the National Bank of America, so Merrill Lynch's merger plan has been canceled!" Considering that he is also a senior executive of the company, the first to follow his own cadres, and the core management that can be trusted, Guo Shouyun did not hide the merger plan of Phoenix and the National Bank of America.
Michael Moretz's eyes moved, and he instantly thought a lot of things from Guo Shouyun's answer.
"Since Merrill Lynch has been abandoned, why don't you withdraw the funds and strengthen the strength of Phoenix Bank?"
"I need an investment bank to work for, and although the merged Phoenix Bank also has an investment banking business, it can't meet my requirements. Moreover, we spent so much energy and financial resources on merging Merrill Lynch, it would be a pity to give up. I don't want to trade at a loss. ”
Michael Moretz nodded knowingly, "What about Stan O'Neill? He is now the CEO of Merrill Lynch, and Merrill Lynch's board of directors has no intention of firing him." ”
"I'll solve this problem. If the CEO position of Merrill Lynch becomes vacant, would you be willing to take over?"
"Yes!"
Michael Moretz affirmed.
Although the Phoenix Capital he is responsible for has developed rapidly, when it comes to influence, it is far less than Merrill Lynch, the second largest investment bank on Wall Street, which was established for a hundred years. If he could take over this veteran investment bank, he would certainly not refuse.
"That's good. I'll let you know as soon as this happens, but before that, you'll have to be the CEO of Phoenix Capital for a while. ”
"Yes!"
As soon as Michael Moretz left, Guo Shouyun's phone rang.
After glancing at the caller ID, "Hello?"
"Bruce, what's going on at night?"
"What do you want to do?"
"Of course, it's to take you for a 'walk' in New York. ”
After hearing the ambiguity in George Roosevelt's tone~ ambiguity, Guo Shouyun, who guessed that he would say this, said directly: "Forget it, I don't have the energy to hang out with you now." ”
"Don't refuse so quickly, this time many children of New York's high society will participate, and there are many of them stunning, no worse than Wendy!"
"Anyway, you're also Wendy's brother, do you think it's glorious to tempt your brother-in-law to cheat?"
"It's just a matter of playing once in a while, and it's not about getting you divorced. Bruce, this is a common occurrence in our class. ”
"I'm not interested, Unocal has a lot of things to deal with over there!"
Guo Shouyun has long passed the time to expand his network by making friends with a group of rich second generations. So, he didn't want to go to such a messy banquet unless it was necessary.
"Oops, don't hang up...!"
After hanging up, George Roosevelt's call came again. However, this time Guo Shouyun did not pick it up.
"Knock...!"
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Come in!"
Soon, Wang Jue, who was dressed in a black women's professional suit, pushed the door and walked in.
"Boss, this is the information you want about the New York State Teachers' Retirement Fund and its administrators. ”
After a brief glance, "Is there any news from the Hersman Fund?"
"Mr. Paul Cruze has agreed to your offer, and he will be at your house on time tomorrow morning at nine o'clock in the morning. ”
Guo Shouyun nodded, "Remember to remind me tomorrow." ”
"Yes!"
"It's okay, you go down!"
After the office was quiet again, Guo Shouyun picked up his mobile phone and found a number and dialed it.
"Hello?"
A calm voice rang out.
"How's the plan going?"
"It's going well, and the voting shares we currently have in Merrill Lynch have reached 13.3%!"
"Is there any movement on Merrill Lynch's management?"
"Not yet!"
Guo Shouyun nodded with satisfaction, "Lao Liu, it seems that choosing you to do this is indeed the most correct choice I made." ”
"You've won a prize. In the past two years, the uninterrupted operation of hundreds of accounts has also accumulated a lot of trading experience for me, which has verified what I have learned. So I should thank you for your trust. ”
"Hehe, there's no need to be polite between us. When you marry Catherine, our relationship will be close and close. ”
After he finished speaking, the phone fell silent.
