Chapter 390 Business Jet (Second Update)
The reason why Zhang Chen said so much to Bellankefen was nothing more than to make Bellankefen feel at ease.
When the boss wants to make his subordinates obey, it is the most effective means to come up with dry goods, and the more capable subordinates are, the more effective they are.
More effective than adding money.
Zhang Chen's expression was relaxed: "This is exactly what I want to ask you, which part do you want to do in private equity and banking? You have not done these two parts, but with your experience at Goldman Sachs, doing PE is not a problem, and in the banking business, you also have some experience in the project of Salomon Brothers." Let you choose for yourself, how do you choose?"
Bellankefen thought for a moment and smiled: "I will choose PE." ”
Zhang Chen nodded: "As I thought, you are indeed more suitable to be in charge of PE business, but now this part of the private equity business completely needs you to work hard, Citi's 300 million loan I can take out 200 million US dollars as private equity start-up capital, I hope you can at least raise more than 800 million US dollars within the year, and issue three funds, two of which are for NASDAQ, and the other is for equity investment." ”
Bellankefen's eyes widened: "Then it's not just PE?"
Zhang Chen smiled: "I never said that our private equity is only PE, and for a long time, the NASDAQ market will be the main battlefield of our private equity funds, so you must be prepared." ”
Blancfein said solemnly: "This is exactly what I want to talk to you, last time you told me that the Internet industry has just emerged, and now the market value of the NASDAQ is very high, but it is by no means to the extent that the bubble bursts." But we've only been doing equity investments all along, which seems a bit too wasteful. The Yahoo stock we bought before has doubled in value, and finding the right fund manager to operate it will have a higher rate of return. Originally, I had a plan to set up a separate equity department within Tinder, but now it seems that you want to merge this part of the business into private equity?"
Zhang Chen nodded, "Yes, the stock business and the venture capital business are two completely different directions, but they are more related to private equity. ”
Blanciffen was faintly excited, "How do we set the return on investment for investors?"
Zhang Chen laughed and said: "Lauerde, you are the president of private equity, this kind of thing is decided by you and the fund manager, you don't need to ask me." ”
Frank Kefen blushed, he was originally just a business manager at Goldman Sachs, although he had been the president of Tinder Source for more than half a year, but because Zhang Chen had interfered too much in the past six months, he had not fully adapted to the change of role.
Zhang Chen reminded: "My only requirement is to be fast, raise funds as soon as possible, operate as soon as possible, and do it in ten days, don't delay it to a month, how fast and how fast it can be, even if the promised return on investment is higher than the market, it doesn't matter, the current NASDAQ is to grab money." If you miss these two years, it may not be so easy in the future. By the way, in terms of stock picking, I think you can hold Yahoo for a long time, and its market capitalization is now less than $20 billion, which is far from peaking. ”
Frankfin nodded: "Yahoo is indeed my key observant, and in a sense, Yahoo and AOL represent the Internet. ”
Zhang Chen's heart was relieved, he was also afraid that Frank Kefen would think that Yahoo's stock price was too high, and he would invest in some messy stocks, and in the end, he would lose all his money. But think about it again, since the other party can become the second best CEO in the history of Goldman Sachs, the level of stock selection will only be higher than his own, not lower than himself.
The two discussed in detail some details of the adjustment of the structure of the tinder source, and Belankefen wanted to inquire several times about who would be responsible for the banking business in the future, but he couldn't help but speak.
Zhang Chen declined the invitation of Bellankefen to have dinner together in the evening, since he had finished his business, he was not going to stay in New York for long, plus his parents were still on the West Coast, it was not good to leave for too long. So he asked the company to rent a small business jet for him in New York and take the afternoon flight back to San Francisco.
Renting a business jet, Zhang Chen is not for the sake of playing music, but because there are too many people, there are six people in the security team alone, plus Xiao Lele, who came to New York with him, a total of eight people, and the plane ticket will not be cheap, it is safer and more convenient to rent a business jet.
Benital has been controlled by Tinder, and has sent several of the most elite groups of security personnel to take turns to defend secretly. The reason why it is secretly is also because Zhang Chen is really not used to following a few bodyguards who are five big and three thick, and he is too unfree.
When I don't have it, I envy the style of the rich and celebrities on TV, but if I really have it, I will experience the inconvenience and pain in it.
Everyone has their own comfortable space, and subconsciously likes to keep a certain distance from others. For example, in airport lounges, if there are many seats, people tend to keep at least one seat away from other passengers. Except, of course, that is, a beautiful woman next to her.
Therefore, Zhang Chen asked Thomas, oh, it is his security team leader, if he can secretly protect, Thomas only thought about it for a while, and agreed to Zhang Chen's request.
After all, Zhang Chen is not a public figure, there are not so many crazy fans desperately squeezing around, and the effect of secret protection is better, at least not so eye-catching.
Zhang Chen's business jet did not take off from the three major airports in New York, but took off from Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and landed at San Jose Airport.
Teterboro is only 19 miles from Manhattan, which is equivalent to 30 kilometers, although it is in New Jersey.
Take the car to Teterboro Airport, there is a special business jet terminal, because the route has been applied two hours in advance, Zhang Chen and his party arrived at the airport to show the reservation information, and then were pulled to the tarmac by the shuttle bus.
Zhang Chen rented a Cessna nine-seater business jet, and the cost of this trip was less than $20,000, which is said to have been discounted by the airline.
The plane looked small from the outside, but after boarding, Zhang Chen found that the space inside was not small, and the seats were also very wide, but the interior decoration was very ordinary.
But after taking off, Zhang Chen realized the advantage of a business jet, that is, comfort.
This kind of comfort is not a smooth comfort, but a space comfort, even if it is a very small Cessna, the internal movable space is much larger than that of civil aviation, even larger than the first class, after entering level flight, if you want to chat, the captain will even walk into the cabin to chat with you. At that time, Zhang Chen was taken aback, unmanned, okay?
Captain Kerry Smith is a black man, according to himself, he used to be in the US Air Force, and after retiring, he came to this business jet airline to drive a business jet, and he also said that he would perform a dive for Xiao Lele, which scared Xiao Lele to the point of discoloration, and Kerry Smith laughed.
Zhang Chen inquired about the price of this business jet and found that it was far less expensive than he imagined, less than six million US dollars. But if it's a luxury business jet like the Gulfstream 400, it will cost at least $20 million or more.
Hearing this price, Zhang Chen was a little moved, after Amazon and eBay were listed, did he buy a business jet himself?
