At the beginning of the construction of the Korn Ferry Investment Finance Department, there were only a few employees, and now it has grown to more than 200 employees in many countries around the world.

It seems that the number of more than 200 people is really nothing, and when the number of employees in the entire Guanghui Group has exceeded 50,000 and continues to grow rapidly, 200 people are inconspicuous in the group.

But considering that these more than 200 employees are all graduates of world-renowned universities, a large number of doctors and masters, and the most important thing is that they still have a lot of cash, this influence is actually very considerable.

"Old Guan, how is the establishment of a separate investment fund company you said last time?" After chatting with Guan Weidong about the recent investment direction of the Guanghui Investment and Finance Department, Jiang Hui began to discuss with Guan Weidong about the establishment of a special investment fund.

As an investment company, Korn Ferry Investment is not only engaged in venture capital business, but also carries out various acquisition businesses, and at the same time involves financial business.

So a few months ago, Jiang Hui was considering whether it was necessary to set up a special investment fund company.

Investment funds originated in the United Kingdom, but they are popular in the United States. After the First World War, the United States replaced Britain as the new hegemon of the world economy, and leapt from a capital-importing country to a major capital-exporting country. With the rapid growth of the U.S. economy, the increasing complexity of economic activities has made it increasingly difficult for some investors to judge the direction of the economy. In order to effectively promote foreign trade and foreign investment, the United States began to introduce the investment trust fund system.

In 1926, Boston's Massachusetts Financial Services Company established the Massachusetts Investment Trust, which became the first modern mutual fund in the United States. In the years that followed, the fund experienced its first glory days in the United States.

By the end of the 20s, the total assets of all closed-end funds had reached $2.8 billion, while the total assets of open-end funds were only $140 million, but the latter had a higher growth rate than closed-end funds in terms of both volume and total asset value. In the twenties, the value of assets increased by more than 20 per cent per year, and in 1927 it grew by more than 100 per cent.

After various events such as the stock market crash in 1929, the development of investment funds in the United States also encountered a low ebb.

However, up to now, investment funds have become popular all over the world. One in four U.S. households invest in investment funds (called mutual funds in the U.S.). The fund industry has become the second largest financial industry after commercial banks, and plays a leading role in the stock market.

In the 90s, 80% of the new money in the U.S. stock market came from mutual funds. In 1993, individual investments in the United States accounted for only 20 percent of the market value of stocks, while mutual funds had surpassed 50 percent.

Although Jiang Hui hopes that the Korn Ferry Group will be an industrial-based enterprise, the Internet and financial industries will be the fastest industries in the next ten years.

"Mr. Jiang, I am about to report to you, all the things related to the registration of the company have been done, and the early personnel are mainly from the financial part of Guanghui Investment, and then combined with the company's own recruitment, it will slowly develop for a period of time. ”

"Have you found the general manager of the investment fund?"

"I already have a preliminary goal, yesterday I received a resume recommended by headhunters, I think it fits our needs, and I am preparing to arrange a phone interview tomorrow. ”

"Oh, what is the situation of this person recommended by headhunters?" can simply arouse Guan Weidong's strong interest from the headhunter's recommendation, and produce the feeling that this is the person our company needs, Jiang Hui's absolute other party should not be a general, plus such an investment fund, the future will be in the hands of billions, tens of billions of funds, Jiang Hui is also very concerned.

"Mr. Jiang, speaking of which, this person is still your fellow countryman. ”

"Yes, let's hear it, if it's really suitable, you see that it's convenient for me to meet this character one day in the next few days. ”

The person recommended by the headhunter is called Li Ying, and her hometown is in Meishi, but due to her parents, she was born in Shenzhen. When he was in junior high school, he immigrated to the United States with his family. After I was in the United States, I started to skip grades frequently because my learning ability was too strong.

At the age of 17, her peers were all in high school, and Li Ying had already entered MIT with honors. At the age of 20, her peers have just entered college, and Li Ying has already obtained a bachelor's degree in computer science, a bachelor's degree in economics and a master's degree in electrical engineering and computer science from Massachusetts.

"It sounds familiar, you continue. Jiang Hui pondered in his mind where he had heard of this name.

After graduating, Li Ying worked for top international companies such as McKinsey & Company and Ikanos, and was only 24 years old when she joined UTStarcom as vice president. Unlike other girls who pursue stability, Li Ying likes to take risks and innovate. When I was 20 years old and working at McKinsey, her boss asked her what you really wanted to do? ”

"If you want to start your own business, wouldn't it be more difficult to dig it up?"

"No, on the contrary, I think our investment fund might be exactly what she wants. As the general manager of a new company, the things to do are actually very similar to starting her own business, as long as we give her enough rights, I think the position of general manager of the Korn Ferry Fund will be a position that will be very attractive to her......"

Just when Guan Weidong was explaining his opinion, Jiang Hui finally remembered why the name "Li Ying" felt familiar to him.

"It turned out to be the general of Boss Ma in the previous life, no wonder it is so familiar. Jiang Hui thought in his heart.

Without Jiang Hui, Li Ying would have joined Boss Ma and Yu Feng, the founder of Juzhong Media, in 2010 to start a fund called Yunfeng Fund. The first phase of this fund raised more than 10 billion, Shi Yuzhu and Shen Guojun are founders, and they are a well-known fund in the industry.

"Is this Li Ying in the United States or in the Celestial Empire now?"

In early 2006, due to some political struggles within UT, Li Ying returned to the United States and joined KPCB as the firm's youngest global partner. At that time, at a time when the company was actively developing the business of the Celestial Empire, Li Ying became the main force, responsible for the establishment strategy and equity investment of KPCB Celestial Empire, and deeply assisted the global portfolio companies in the business of the Celestial Empire. So most of the time, she is in the Celestial Empire, and even if she is in the United States now, in a few days, she will definitely appear somewhere in the Celestial Empire. Guan Weidong said. ()
