Chapter 314: Hit
The world will always surprise you quietly, maybe this is fate, he always mischievously makes you guess what will happen next.
For example, Lin Fan, after listening to Chu Chu's words, he decisively went to watch the news. Mortal security is developing well, mortal cinemas are developing well, and mortal malls are developing well, so Lin Fan couldn't have imagined that something would happen to Crown Brokerage.
It is never an exaggeration to say that Ovitz is an old fritter, even if the Chinese and Western cultures are different, but Hollywood is definitely dirtier than the Chinese entertainment industry, and can be mixed like a fish in water in Hollywood, can Ovitz be a good stubble?
But it's just that there is a problem with Ovitz, or a big problem, a brokerage company has been blocked by a film and television company, and it is not one, but several. Ovitz's emotional intelligence is not so bad, how can it be so bad?
Lin Fan subconsciously wanted to call Ovitz to ask about the specific situation, even if he said that he would never interfere with the company's operations in advance, but now he can't help it. But Lin Fan couldn't hold back again, and simply took this opportunity to return to China, he really wanted to know a little.
But before that he had something to do, God, his think tank was finally going to be formed.
Lin Fan took a sip of coffee, ate the breakfast provided by the hotel, and waited earnestly for his applicant.
"Bell, bell, bell. ”
"Please come in. ”
The one who came at the entrance was a middle-aged man in a suit and meticulous, and when he saw Lin Fan, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, but it was only a flash.
Colt Coman, 45, is a barrister at Baker & McS. & Co., and is well-versed in commercial law. ”
Colt nodded a little reservedly, "Yes, Mr. Lin." ”
Lin Fan smiled, "Colt, you don't have to be nervous, it's convenient to tell me, as a barrister from a well-known law firm in the United States, there should be many financial companies throwing olive branches to you, why did you choose to be a private lawyer? This will insult your talent." ”
"I think I've been blacklisted. Colt smiled wryly, "The firm has contracted a large number of real estate loan business services, the economic crisis came, many people were unable to repay, a large number of financial institutions suffered losses, as the person in charge of this business, I could only be kicked out of the firm, and the financial institutions were unwilling to accept me again." ”
"You can choose a small financial company, and with your talent, it shouldn't be a problem. ”
"But I need money, my house has been seized by the bank and my wife is unemployed. My children still need to go to school, and a private lawyer can help me through this crisis. ”
Lin Fan couldn't help but nodded, he liked this person's honesty, you must know that these contents cannot be reflected in the resume. It is difficult for Lin Fan to ask Westerners to have the idea of Chinese loyalty, but an honest person, under the influence of the spirit of contract and the limitation of the law, is much better than a person with impaired morals.
"Congratulations, Mr. Colt, you have been hired. ”
Colt didn't show a smile, "Mr. Lin, according to the salary requirements you offered, my annual salary is three million dollars. ”
"That's right, I can advance half of it in advance. ”
"Really?"
"Of course. ”
Then Lin Fan took out a contract, which he asked someone to draw up, with salary settings and incentive mechanisms, but also a confidentiality agreement, once the breach of contract, Colt not only faced sky-high compensation, but even went to prison.
When Colt cautiously signed his name on the contract, Lin Fan directly transferred $1.5 million to him, "Colt, now you can interview with me." ”
........
Two days later, Lin Fan looked at the three people in front of him, Colt was his personal lawyer, and Theodore Rothman, a former executive at Merrill Lynch, was his financial adviser who led dozens of corporate mergers and acquisitions during his tenure. Rose Carmanro, a financial analyst at Bear Stearns, is his own personal financial advisor.
These are the three carriages that Lin Fan is looking for for his think tank, in fact, there will never be only these three unemployed talents under this economic crisis, but Lin Fan does not have many greedy choices. If all of his think tanks are elites who are in charge of themselves, then everyone is not willing to be subservient, and the result will be infighting, which will affect Lin Fan's interests.
It's better to find only three top talents first, determine the ability, cultivate prestige, and then recruit slowly.
Colt was the first to speak, "Mr. Lin, according to your instructions, we have evaluated your assets and made preliminary suggestions. ”
This is also the reason why Lin Fan intends to determine Colt's dominance, Lin Fan's private team has just worked together, and Lin Fan prefers to believe Colt who has a particularly good first impression.
"Then report back. ”
"After me and Theodore and Ross worked together, your current wealth is about twenty-four and five billion dollars. ”
When Colt reported this number, even though Theodore and Roman knew about it early on, they still couldn't hide their surprise. When they got Lin Fan's position, they naturally got to know the new boss, and it was because they understood that they were surprised, because Lin Fan's age and experience were really frightening, and they finally understood why there was such an extremely harsh confidentiality treaty. But then comes excitement, and only with such a boss can there be a future.
However, if they knew that Lin Fan still had $30 billion lurking in accounts around the world, they wouldn't know if they would be even more surprised.
"Boss, first of all, you have to register a private investment company to help you manage the scattered investee companies, and the other ....." Speaking of this, Colt was even shocked, "Boss, don't you know about tax avoidance?"
"Tax avoidance?" Lin Fan looked like he didn't know how much money I had.
Colt almost collapsed, which is basically common sense in the United States, "not to mention Microsoft Apple, just China's Tencent, Ali will all register the company's headquarters in the Cayman Islands......."
Lin Fan was defeated by the gaze of the three of them, and seemed to realize that he had overpaid hundreds of millions of taxes every year, "Then do as you say." ”
Colt nodded with satisfaction, and Theodore stepped forward again, "According to the information provided by the boss, I have to question your acquisition strategy, the portfolio is too diversified to give full play to the competitive advantage of the enterprise. Again, you're single-handed, and I'm amazed at what you're capable of, but every acquisition is a professional affair. I recommend ......."
Lin Fan raised his hand again in surrender, "Theodore, I will accept your suggestion, and from now on, the three of you will set up a professional team to help me handle the work." In addition, you quickly take over the acquisition of South African banks and the acquisition of shares in Universal. ”
Theodore looked confused, "Boss, you also have a stake in Universal?"
Lin Fan finally found a trace of confidence, "This is the first batch of share transfers, and I will complete the holding next year." ”
"Boss, don't worry, I will draw up a perfect contract. Theodore looked excited.
"Boss, this is a pair of financial management combinations designed by me based on the remaining funds in your hands, combined with the current stock market volatility, I suggest ......"
Lin Fan looked at the dozens of pages of documents in front of him, swallowed hard, and suddenly realized that he was really unprofessional before, and he himself doubted how he had achieved this level today?
"I don't usually interfere in your work, I just care about the results. Rose, I'll give you $100 million to operate, and I hope you'll give me a satisfactory answer. ”
"Never let the boss down. ”
Damn, I can't understand your report and can only choose to pretend to be forced, but it seems to work well. In fact, Lin Fan was also suddenly shocked and did not react, the three of Colt reported to Lin Fan for the first time, and naturally used the strength of milk to perform in front of Lin Fan, wanting to win the favor of the future boss. As a result, Lin Fan was sad, and suddenly found that he didn't know a lot.
"Ahem, boss. ”
Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, "Colt, is there anything else?"
"Boss, at your current value, I suggest you find two bodyguards from the security company. ”
Lin Fan suddenly looked at Colt with a look full of kindness, it is better to be a private lawyer, no wonder the rich in the United States regard the private lawyer as their closest person, and the private lawyer plays the role of a housekeeper next to the rich, well, he really knows how to be considerate.
