Chapter 31: An Exam
"Good. Chen Sen nodded with a smile.
In the face of a certain man's sudden praise, Uegaki Oriko was still a little confused, but looking at the satisfied look on a certain man's extremely handsome face, she couldn't help but feel a little excited.
It seems that the result of today's interview should not disappoint her too much, and this good start also makes her more confident to show her ability.
"You used to work at Goldman Sachs?"
Facing Chen Sen's doubts, Uegaki Oriko nodded affirmatively: "Yes, I have worked at Goldman Sachs for three years, and my position is Associate (analyst) in a large group of Goldman Sachs, but before I resigned, I had already received the news of the promotion of the investment bank, that is, vp (the main executive of the investment bank, referred to as the vice president). β
Goldman Sachs and other top investment banks, their internal titles, there are three main categories, the highest is MD (that is, partners, the entire Goldman Sachs is only about 800 people, standing at the top, the annual income is basically in the tens of millions of dollars or even more than 100 million. And then there is the VP, of which the VP is the backbone of investment banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan, and Merrill Lynch. (In VP, there is a person with an SVP title who is a senior executive with better customer resources.) οΌ
At the bottom are people like Associate or Analyst who are engaged in analysts and accountants, basically they do the dirty work, and of course the starting salary is more than 600,000 yuan, which is why investment banks are so attractive.
If you want to enter these top investment banks, they have a very high threshold, and the requirements are mainly divided into hardware standards and software standards.
On the hardware, you must be a graduate of a famous school, a good background, the famous American schools see Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT and other five;
Pass CPA, CFA, ACCA or various bar exams.
He has rich experience in investment banking, law firms, accounting firms, etc.
In terms of software, natural leadership looks like a successful person, even in the face of big people, can be confident and decent. It is also necessary to be good at analyzing problems from new angles and multiple angles. And have excellent sales skills, communication skills and adaptability.
Of course, background is also required, which may be relatives of senior executives of government departments or executives of listed companies.
Think that's enough?no!
Even if you have the above conditions, you may still not be able to enter the investment bank. Generally speaking, since investment banks often go to meet senior customers, they will also look at their appearance, mainly based on their temperament, and the key is their appearance, which is also very important.
In addition, investment banks prefer multi-talented candidates because that means "making themselves interesting", and only such people can withstand the tremendous pressure of working in investment banks......
So, how difficult is it to get into the investment bank? Let's take a look at the following data:
Each summer, about 90,000 applications are received for analyst and assistant positions offered by Morgan Stanley's summer program, but the acceptance rate is less than 2 percent, and Goldman Sachs' acceptance rate is similarly low at 2.06 percent. In comparison, Harvard's acceptance rate of 5.9% is considered high. It seems that getting an internship ticket on Wall Street is even harder than going to Harvard.
Therefore, people who are not crushed by both IQ and EQ generally cannot enter the door of investment banking, even if it is just a small intern.
Ahem, it's clear that the people employed in the top investment banks are basically the smartest and most elite people in the world.
Chen Sen had heard some information about investment banks in his previous life, so he didn't ask in detail, and then asked: "Then why did you leave during the promotion period? Is it too stressful?"
Oriko Uegaki shook her head, "Goldman Sachs is a very fair platform, as long as you have the ability, then you can be promoted and raised." Of course, there will be a lot of pressure, I used to work more than 17 hours a day, about 200 hours a week, and I had to travel frequently, attend meetings, write reports, etc., but I personally felt that this was a platform that allowed me to grow quickly, so I persevered. As for the reason for my departure, it was for some personal reasons......"
She didn't continue, but there was a visibly embarrassed expression on her face, and it was clear that there was something unspeakable in it.
And Chen Sen is not the character of breaking the casserole to ask the end, as for Uegaki Oriko's ability, there is actually no need to doubt it, the latter's work experience at Goldman Sachs is quite outstanding.
And a girl can persist in such a high-pressure environment for three whole years, but it is conceivable that her mind and perseverance are also beyond the reach of ordinary people, and the latter's acquisition plan also shows part of her ability.
So Chen Sen was silent for a while, his fingers tapped on the table, and after thinking for a while, he said: "OK, welcome to join Rongsheng Investment, your current position is my investment consultant, as for your salary and benefits, you can talk to Qingpu, I believe that your ability is absolutely right." β
Oriko Uegaki had a happy smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. β
"No, no, this is just the beginning for you, I don't know if Qingpu has told you something about me, I have a lot of assets all over the world, and the specific number may be large. And I'm not particularly sensitive to numbers, so I urgently need someone or a team that can take care of these assets for me. β
Uegaki Oriko showed a hint of longing when she heard this, obviously she had been moved by the future outlined by Chen Sen, tens of billions of assets! Such a huge wealth, even if it was not her own, if she could manage it, she would also gain a lot of things.
"What do you mean, Mr. Chen?"
"Quite simply, I will conduct an assessment of you for a period of time, and if you are qualified, then you will become my personal financial advisor. Chen Sen said with a smile.
Uegaki Oriko couldn't help but hold her breath, feeling like she was hit by a huge surprise, but after all, she was a VP of Goldman Sachs, she quickly regained her sanity and thinking ability, and said seriously: "I will prove my ability, Mr. Chen!"
Chen Sen smiled slightly, "I'm also looking forward to your performance, I will keep this job for you, and all you have to do now is it." As he spoke, he threw the plan to buy Vogue on the table.
"Twenty-five percent of the premium, I can give you five percent, all you have to do is take it. Chen Sen looked at Uegaki Oriko seriously and said.
The original planned purchase price was $120 million, and the premium is now 30 percent, which means that if the final purchase price is within $156 million, Chen Sen is willing to pay for it.
If it is exceeded, then Uegaki Oriko's ability will remain to be seen, and this is an exam.
On the surface, Mr. Chen seemed to have lowered the difficulty, but he chose to hide one thing, and that was a little about his stake in News Corp.
If he proposes this acquisition plan in the name of a shareholder, then News Corp will also be cautious, just like Chen thought before, if you don't sell!
So in this case, it is extremely difficult for Uegaki Oriko to complete this acquisition, you must know that News Corp is not so easy to handle, and Murdoch's old guy is shrewd~
However, in addition to the seriousness on the latter's face, there was no trace of hesitation and lack of confidence in his eyes, "I will do it, please give me a little time, Mr. Chen." β
βsureγ A man snapped his fingers and smiled.
