The first thing that UOB Investment has to do is to select the person in charge of the company.

Together with the human resources department, Zhang Chao hired two Hong Kong executive search firms, screened thousands of candidates, and finally narrowed them down to six before inviting them to China for interviews.

The six candidates are not only elites in the domestic banking industry, but also star managers of Hong Kong financial institutions, plus Chinese in European and American investment banks.

In the end, it was Ji Runzhi, the manager of Qiansheng Capital, who was selected.

Similar to other candidates, Ji Runzhi's resume is outrageously beautiful. He once participated in the Mathematics Olympiad and won a silver medal, successfully applied for a full scholarship to Yale University at the age of 5, graduated early to work for Merrill Lynch and GE Capital, successfully presided over a venture capital fund with a hundred times profits, and did a number of billion-dollar capital mergers and acquisitions for clients......

Even if it is another 20 or Chinese New Year's Eve years, such a resume can still be called a daughter-in-law.

As the earliest Chinese student, Ji Runzhi has made a name for himself in the financial world in the United States. If it weren't for the glass ceiling and the desire to be filial to his parents in China, it would be difficult for the headhunter to convince him to go to Dahua for an interview and a job.

The salary offered to him by Sioux City is compared according to the market in Hong Kong, if he does well, he can have an income of one million yuan a year, or more than $00,000, and the company's efficiency is average, and it may not even reach one million, which is more than the executives of Dahua, but far worse than the million dollars of Wall Street. But the competition in China's financial industry is also very different from that of Wall Street. Under Dahua's increasingly formed pay system, Sioux City couldn't give him Wall Street-style compensation.

The salary has decreased, and the human resources department has done a lot of work to keep him.

In accordance with the standards of the leader's reception, they first carefully selected two assistants to be apprentices to Ji Runzhi to reduce the trivial things in daily work, and secondly, the human resources department got an independent senior cadre ward in the city's First People's Hospital through the public relations department, and sent two escorts to take care of Ji Runzhi's father who lived here around the clock, so as to solve Ji Runzhi's worries.

For Ji Runzhi's family, the Ministry of Manpower has also made proper arrangements.

His son did not need help to study at a university abroad, and his wife was introduced to teach at the university by Dahua.

The room assigned to him, backed by the Huangpu River, is an English-style garden house left over from the Republic of China, which was once the mansion of the Gui tycoon, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best house in China after the renovation.

In addition to living, Ji Runzhi and his wife don't need to spend any time on housework, long before they arrived, the human resources department was fully equipped with nannies, gardeners and repairmen to manage them, and help them clean their rooms and clean the house every day.

The special and first-class chefs of Dahua Canteen will prepare breakfast, lunch and dinner on time and deliver them to the season's house or office. When they want to go out, a phone call will be made by Dahua's special car, and their own private car can also be handed over to Dahua's car class to be responsible for maintenance, refueling and inspection.

This kind of treatment is completely modeled after the leaders at the domestic level.

In terms of quality of life, it is naturally far better than the stressful life of Ji Runzhi and his wife abroad.

After a few days, in the conversation between Ji Runzhi and his wife, there was no content about returning to China, and they began to talk about work.

In fact, they chose to return to China without expecting to receive a similar salary package as before. Nowhere else in the world can salaries compare to Wall Street. But anywhere in the world is more comfortable than Wall Street.

It took Ji Runzhi 4 years to sit in the position of manager, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not make any progress in the next 4 years, and the increase in income was limited.

After accumulating money that he couldn't use up for a lifetime, Ji Runzhi needed more than just a job. What he needs is a job and a life.

Since the 90s, there have been more and more international students like him. The environment abroad is very good, but there are always homesick Chinese people who can't bear loneliness, and they have different judgments about salary and life.

Ji Runzhi chose a three-story building by the lake as his office and that of Dahua Investment. With the help of Zhang Chao, it only took him half a month to build the skeleton of Dahua Investment, a total of eight people, including two assistants, which are all the personnel of Dahua Investment.

When Dahua, who was concerned about this matter, was still wondering how such a small number of people could operate hundreds of millions of funds, they saw many banks whose names they had never heard of and sent people to the Dahua headquarters.

Mergers and acquisitions are a favorite of banks, which can not only bring good profits, but also considerable visibility and long-term business cooperation.

Any acquisition is a big business. Banks, like the oil industry, don't care if they're warlords slaughtering civilians or an axis of evil outside the free world, as long as they're making a lot of profits. China in '99 was a little more troublesome than China in '97, but

There is also limited trouble. Coupled with the introduction of Ji Runzhi, a former Wall Streeter, there are many banks willing to participate in hotel mergers and acquisitions.

In the end, the British Standard Chartered Bank, with its years of colonial experience, got the entry ticket for the merger, and the selected hotel was the Carpuse Manor Hotel in the United Kingdom.

The Carpuses Manor Hotel is not a very well-known hotel, and it is the only hotel in the Greater London area of the United Kingdom. However, the Capus Manor Hotel is a large hotel, with more than 00 acres, full staff and facilities, and is a promising English-style hotel.

As soon as the hotel entered the acquisition process, Ji Yunzhi reported to Sioux City and assured: "We can buy this hotel in Greater London for only $60 million at most." I plan to reintegrate their personnel, select teams of 0 to 50 people, divide them into three groups, send them to China in batches, and recruit people for training......"

He spoke clearly, but very quickly, and he felt like he was going to debate. When there is a lot to say, Ji Runzhi always pauses intentionally and divides it into several paragraphs, but the speed is still very fast.

Su Chengxian was a little silent, he was still observing Ji Runzhi. In the future, Dahua Investment will have more than 000 million yuan in funds, and whether the man with short hair and thick chin in front of him can support such a cause in China, where the system is not perfect, Su Cheng is not sure.

Ji Runzhi didn't seem to care about his observations. Since the beginning of his work, he has had to face observations every day, well-intentioned, curious, malicious, and so on.

It's a little better to work for American bosses, who have well-developed and even excessive anti-discrimination laws, at least no one will show them to their faces. He has even been kicked out of the team when he works for bosses in Europe, Asia or Africa.

After talking about the hotel's handling method, Ji Runzhi smiled and asked, "Will we start selecting a site now?"

"Well, the central city, the central city, the bigger the place, the better, mainly to invest in the land, the hotel is just incidental. Su Cheng said his request, and said: "In addition, there is a difference between commercial, industrial and residential land in China, and my opinion is that residential land is the main land, followed by commercial land, and industrial land is not. All the land of the former state-owned enterprises must be subject to the formal land type change ......"

"Su Dong thinks that residential land has the most investment potential?" Ji Runzhi is well aware of his role, and his goal is to help Dahua Investment generate the maximum return on investment, whether it is a hotel or a bar, it is the same goal.

Su Cheng nodded as a matter of course: "Housing is of course the most valuable, with the population of China, it won't be long before the city will be full." Of course, the commercial land in the Third Ring Road is not bad, and it is not difficult to change it in the future, so your task is to acquire as much land as possible reasonably and legally. ”

"I see. Ji Runzhilu rubbed his thick chin and said, "So, am I currently responsible for the construction and operation of the hotel?"

"That's right. What are your thoughts?"

"I'd like to invite some well-known designers to come and build a few tall buildings. ”

This was very different from what Sioux City had envisioned, and he sat up straight and asked, "Why build a tall building? Isn't it more cost-effective for us to buy a large piece of land and use it to build a villa or something?"

Ji Runzhi also sat up straight and said solemnly: "I did some research and found that local governments in China have the greatest power in terms of land transfer. Even if the land of state-owned enterprises is transferred, whether it can be transferred, and at what price, the final decision is still in the hands of the government.

"Hmm. ”

"So I thought, the demands of the government and enterprises must be different. Ji Runzhi put his hand on his lap, unconsciously drew a circle, and said: "The goal of the enterprise is undoubtedly money, and at most, plus the work problems of employees, in the final analysis, it is money." The government is different, and after the government gets the money, it wants to spend it, and where will it be spent? Wages, education, health, and cultural funds, pensions and social security, investment in science and technology, and urban construction are the main projects. ”

Su Cheng became interested and said affirmatively: "You say." ”

"When I was in the U.S., I did an M&A project and ended up building a factory in a Florida county. Because they agreed to all our requests, they were exempt from taxes every year, and the government funded the construction of a road to the location of our factory. Ji Runzhi's tone changed, and he said: "If we build a landmark building in the center of a city, I think that the local government will definitely make quite preferential treatment in terms of taxes and land transfer fees, and the preferential amount may save a considerable part of the construction cost." ”

"I support you. Su Cheng's answer was much faster than Ji Runzhi expected.

Sioux City is more convinced than Ji Runzhi that this plan is the impulse of China's local government for performance projects and landmark buildings, which is absolutely incomparable to the Americans.
