Chapter 118: Peter Norris
Peter Norris smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Mr. Fang, I don't think it's possible for me to do it all over again, and it's impossible for the European and American investment circles to accept me and Nick Leeson again."
Fang Yi heard the loosening in Peter Norris's words, and hurriedly continued, "Why is it impossible, if it is in distant China?"
Peter Norris said to himself, "China, the East, that magical country"
Fang Yi nodded and said, "Yes, it's that magical country, I think Mr. Peter Norris hasn't been to Huaxia yet, it's a place where miracles can be created, just now you said, the European and American investment circles will no longer accept you, you are also an old man in the investment circles, I want to ask you, is the European and American investment circles are the people who reject you, or the financial turmoil caused by you 5 years ago."
Peter Norris was wondering in his heart, is there a difference, Fang Yi saw the doubt in his eyes and said, "Is an operation method like Rick Leessen's the first in investment?"
Peter Norris thought for a moment and shook his head.
Fang Yi continued to ask, "Will that be the last one?", because Fang Yi knew that in 2008, the same situation would occur at Société Générale in France, and on January 24, 2008, Société Générale, then the world's largest financial derivatives trading leader, announced at a press conference a serious transaction violation case of the bank. The unauthorised purchase of 50 billion euros of stock index futures, which caused serious losses to banks of around $7.16 billion, shocked the global financial community with one of the largest frauds involving the amount of money involved in the history of the global banking industry. Comparing the losses of Société Générale with the losses caused by Nick Leesson is nothing in between, without calculating the time value of the money.
Peter Norris shook his head.
Fang Yi said confidently, "So, the history of this world is written by the winners, and the heroes are judged by success or failure, Peter Norris, do you dare to fight with me in this investment circle again?"
Peter Norris looked at Fang Yi's resolute eyes and nodded, Fang Yi saw Peter Norris finally nodding, happily hugged Lusi and kissed him, and Lusi, who reacted, blushed and blessed "Fang, congratulations, you succeeded"
Then, Peter Norris took Fang Yi and the three back to his office, and with the translation of Ruth, Fang Yi told Peter Norris about his assets in Huaxia and the idea of establishing an investment company.
After listening to this, Peter Norris thought for a while and said, "Mr. Fang, with your current asset level, you can't make any big achievements in the investment circle, if you really want to invest, then you have to have capital, this kind of capital includes funds and contacts, and sometimes connections are more important than funds, the development momentum of Huaxia has been very rapid in the past two years, you can pull some powerful companies and institutions and you to set up this investment company together"
Fang Yi thought about the well-known enterprises in China, most of which are state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, if they cooperate with them, they will have connections, but the problem of state-owned assets will be a major issue of social concern, which will be very unfavorable to their future development. If you want to say that the best place for China's investment environment is Hong Kong, but if you are not familiar with Hong Kong, who will you find to invest.
Fang Yi asked uncertainly, "Mr. Peter Norris, if it were purely from the perspective of funds, how much capital do you think we need to run this investment company?"
Peter Norris thought about it and said, "At least $50 million."
Hearing the amount of funds Peter Norris said, Zheng Rongjun on the side secretly smacked his tongue, it was almost 400 million yuan, some time ago Fang Yi took 3 million from the company, and he almost made the company's capital chain appear and asked, let alone 400 million now, even if it is 40 million, there is no way.
However, Fang Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this and said, "Okay, I'll figure out a way for this."
Peter Norris seemed to think of something and said, "Mr. Fang, is it true what you said just now that you want me to reactivate Nick Leeson?"
Fang Yi didn't answer directly, "Mr. Peter Norris, what do you think of Nick Leesson now?"
Peter Norris said without hesitation, "Genius, he is a genius in the financial derivatives industry, I have been in the industry for so many years, I have never seen such a young, so talented talent, so we decided to let the young him go to Singapore as a general manager, to say that the Bank of Bahrain kind of thing, in fact, the problem is fundamentally the problem of corporate culture, the Bank of Bahrain takes it for granted that all employees are honest, Honest, so in the management and regulatory system more embodies the humanization, and downplays the system itself, I think this is a torture of human nature, but can human nature really withstand torture, and finally I think the problem of Nick Leeson is the problem of the Bank of Bahrain sooner or later. He came to my cinema last year when he wrote "How I Broke the Bank of Bahrain" was adapted into a movie, and this prison sentence has been very devastating to him, both physically and mentally, and if possible, I hope to be able to work with him and play his due day."
Fang Yi didn't expect Nick Leeson to make Peter Norris so embarrassed, but he gave Nick Leeson such a high evaluation, Peter Norris is an English gentleman. He said, "Mr. Peter Norris, do you know where Nick Leeson is now?"
Peter Norrisley took out a piece of paper in a drawer with a phone on it and said, "This is his number, I heard he works as a courier in a London neighborhood."
Fang Yi took the piece of paper and looked at it, solemnly put it in his clothes pocket and stood up and said, "Peter Norris, let's get here today, I don't know how long you can go to Huaxia with me?"
Peter Norris smiled miserably and said, "I have no children, my wife also left me five years ago, and now I only have this movie theater, in fact, I can leave at any time", and looked at his office again.
Fang Yi didn't know how to comfort him, and he didn't understand his own language, "Mr. Peter Norris, our visa can only stay in London for a maximum of 10 days, and we will return to China when we negotiate with Mr. Nick Leessen, if you are fast here, we can go together at that time."
Walking out of Peter Norris's movie theater, Fang Yi had not yet recovered from the joy of being caught in such a big cow on Wall Street, Ruth patted his arm and asked, "Fang, where are we going next?"
Fang Yi was in a very good mood today and said, "It's getting dark, let's go back to London, I'll invite you to dinner in the evening."
Ruth could also feel Fang Yi's joy and said, "Then do you want to come to my house to have a look, I told my mother about you yesterday, a magical oriental boy, she is very curious, let me definitely invite you to my house as a guest"
After hearing this, Zheng Rongjun said, "Mr. Fang, you and Miss Lusi should go, I am a little uncomfortable today, so I won't go together" Zheng Rongjun saw that Lu Si had a good impression of Fang Yi, and this time he should have the meaning of inspecting the mother-in-law of Huaxia, and it would not be good to run away by himself.
Who knew that without waiting for Fang Yi to answer, Lusi turned around and said, "Zheng, why don't you go, you are also my friend, you two came to England from far away China, how can I not fulfill the friendship of the landlord?"
Zheng Rongjun didn't know what to do, he looked at Fang Yi rescuedly, Fang Yi felt the little bit of this kid's flowery intestines and said, "Rongjun, people have a lot of kindness, let's not shirk it, let's go together tonight, didn't we bring a gift?"
When I went back this time, the three of them took a flying car, and it only took one person an hour to reach London.
When he arrived at Lu Si's house, Fang Yi took out a few gifts he brought, and what he gave Lu Si was a jade pendant, although it was not a precious jade, but the auspicious cloud pattern carved on it was very expressive;
Ruth's mother Jessica was very happy about the arrival of the two and made a very sumptuous British dinner to entertain the two, but Fang Yi was very uninterested in these British meals, but out of politeness, she still ate a lot, which made Jessica keep adding to Fang Yi.
After dinner, Ruth's father Alan pulled the two to start talking, Fang Yi then learned that Ruth's father was a regional director of eBay UK, and he had a deep understanding of Internet shopping, but as a person who was reborn, at this time in 2000, no matter how unique your views on online shopping were, you would be turned into scum in front of Fang Yi. After Allen provoked the topic, Fang Yi discussed this topic with the help of Zheng Rongjun, but when discussing how to deal with counterfeit and shoddy products and fast delivery, the two had a strong dispute, because the two questions raised by Fang Yi are actually online shopping problems with Huaxia, the overall quality level of the Chinese people in this period is far lower than that of Europe and the United States, and the binding force on morality is not enough, so there will continue to be problems such as false and shoddy goods in pursuit of profits; This requires the support of a strong logistics and distribution team, and the United Kingdom and even Europe can be called a projectile land in front of the vast China, and they will not have the question of saying that there is no express delivery that cannot be delivered. So Allen couldn't come up with a solution to these two problems
