At this end, Ye Jingcheng finally arrived at the airport in New York after a sixteen-hour journey. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info is another nearly an hour's drive to Wall Street, where Manhattan is located.

Ye Jingcheng didn't go directly to Buffett, he needed time to understand the situation here.

In addition, there is a 12-hour time difference between the two places, and the time in Asia is still in the afternoon, but it is already early in the morning on the side of the United States, so the only way to find a hotel to settle the team brought by them is to give them a stage of adaptation.

It's like everyone has just slept on a flight, and they will have to sleep again when they get off the plane. Adjust your biological clock as soon as possible to avoid mistakes in the next work due to not adapting to the environment.

And Ye Jingcheng's low-key arrival this time, even Buffett doesn't know the specific information. He also has his own things that need to be deployed in advance, not to say that when he comes to the other party's land, everything will be handed over to the other party to deal with, which will only make him more passive.

Following.

According to the instructions, Li Zhengping rented an office dedicated to the team, and after a simple purchase, everyone started the first round of work. Basically, there are various types of surveys related to Wall Street trends, conglomerates, investments, etc.

Ye Jingcheng is not the busiest one, but his work is of the highest importance. The first is to pick out the one he deems appropriate from among several proxy candidates.

Among these candidates, Ye Jingcheng values John the most. Paulson, the future "first man of hedge funds."

Of course, John. Paulson just has a few more impression points than others, which does not mean that he is already Ye Jingcheng's agent of internal determination.

The most important thing Wall Street lacks is talent, and several other candidates or abilities are slightly inferior to him, but they can also take on great responsibilities through training.

Ye Jingcheng's first condition for them is to be able to give him enough trust, and secondly, to conscientiously implement every instruction he has, instead of coming out to question it every time. Sometimes employees are too assertive, which is not a good thing for employers.

Like Cao Renchao, his knowledge of stocks and investments is far deeper than that of Li Zhengping. After all, he has undergone traditional teaching, and Li Zhengping is completely a monk.

But Ye Jingcheng did not reuse him, but let Li Zhengping lead the team this time. The reason is that the two have different views on investment and speculation, Cao Renchao has his own principles, and he prefers to grasp the overall situation and win steadily.

Once he is asked to do something that crosses the bottom line, his heart is first and foremost struggling. Even if you finally do what you are told, it is easy to delay the progress of the event, and even the situation of the master and servant being two-hearted.

"Ye Sheng, a few people to interview have arrived." The assistant knocked on the door and walked in, and handed the resume to Ye Jingcheng.

Ye Jingcheng looked at it casually, and finally stopped at one of the resumes, and said, "First put this John. Paulson called in. ”

Not long after, John. Paulson was brought in.

And Ye Jingcheng's attention is still on the other party's resume. It includes information about the family, whose father is the chief financial officer of a small PR agency, and whose mother is a housewife, as well as two younger sisters and a younger brother.

In terms of academic qualifications, Paulson has always ranked first or second in his class, first graduating from New York University's School of Business and Public Administration, and then transferring to Harvard Business School to pursue a degree.

Work experience, none. However, in this area, he filled in an expected salary, hoping to enjoy an annual salary of 200,000 US dollars.

$200,000 is not a high amount on Wall Street, but a professional with a few years of work experience can reach this amount. The problem is that as a new recruit, or if he hasn't even officially joined the company, this amount shouldn't be what he should have.

Nowadays, the average annual salary in the United States is less than 20,000 US dollars, even in the high-paying investment industry, the annual salary he can enjoy when he first enters the industry is at most 3~5 times the average annual salary.

Dare to fill in the figure of $200,000, unless he thinks he is really good and has the confidence to convince his boss to give him this salary, otherwise doing so will only show how greedy and stupid he is.

Although, as an open-minded foreigner, it seemed reasonable for him to make such a request? But how much should they know about some workplace rules, right?

In terms of salary, you can raise it in person, at least pass the interview first, so that the boss thinks you are worth the price. And Paulson's written in writing, what will the boss think? It seems like you're choosing me, not me?

He was also the only one to have a salary requirement on his four resumes. Because if you make such a request for a resume, there is a good chance that you will be submitted to other companies. Nine was passed directly.

"Sit down." Ye Jingcheng glanced at Paulson, who looked like a gentleman, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which showed that he was a young man who had just come out of society, and he was not like an arrogant person who put forward salary requirements on his resume.

"Here you are asking for an annual salary of $200,000, do you know what the average annual salary of new Wall Street employees is?" Ye Jingcheng initiated a topic on this matter.

Paulson nodded, remained calm and said: "According to my survey, the average annual salary of employees recruited by the grassroots level on Wall Street is between 6W~9W, and some can go to 12W. ”

"So you think you belong individually?" Immediately, Ye Jingcheng asked rhetorically.

"It's not." Paulson shook his head, looking very humble, but in fact he said forcefully, "I think I'm better than them." ”

"It's good to have self-confidence." Ye Jingcheng put down his resume, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said: "With your outstanding grades and degrees, you are destined to stand out from ordinary job seekers, but how can you prove that you are better than the industry elite?" ”

"This ......" Paulson hesitated slightly, he couldn't tell Ye Jingcheng that he was full of talent. When Ye Jingcheng raised this question, he had already explained that he wanted him to come up with real materials, rather than relying on his mouth to say a few words.

Even if he has big ambitions, he is just a new job seeker at this time, and his ability to cope with the situation is still insufficient. Ye Jingcheng saw it in his eyes, but he didn't say anything to write.

"Ye Sheng, why don't I do a detailed analysis?"

"First of all, you asked me this question, and the question is not about the annual salary, but whether I have the ability to do so. Or do you think I can show you what I can do in the end with an annual salary of 200,000 yuan. ”

"Go on." Ye Jingcheng gestured.

"I've looked into some information about you, and there's no denying that you're a person with dreams and the ability to achieve them. But if you choose to enter Wall Street, the biggest obstacle at the moment is not the local forces, but how to quickly adapt to the unfamiliar environment. I've grown up in this area since I was born, and my familiarity with the environment is my first strength.

Secondly, I come from a family with a business heritage, and I remember that when I was 6 years old, my grandfather taught me to buy large packages of candy from the supermarket and retail them to my classmates, which proves that my education is not only rote memorization.

In addition, I believe that my double degree knowledge is more important than work experience, and work experience can be accumulated through work, but the horizon brought by knowledge, even if I have a few more years of work experience, may not broaden a person's horizons, which is my second advantage.

Finally, I've taken fifteen minutes of your time so far, but your patience proves that you still have a good impression of me. Or how did you get to know me, and if that's the case, then I'd be even happier.

It's like buying and selling stocks, you play the role of an investor with money in your hands, and I play the role of one of many stocks, and the reason why you pay so much attention to me proves that I am likely to be the potential stock for your next investment. ”

……

After talking a lot, Paulson picked up the glass of water on the table and drank it, quietly waiting for Ye Jingcheng's reply.

"The analytical skills are good, but the point is still not mentioned." Ye Jingcheng slapped his palms a few times and said, "To be practical, if I hand over a company to you to be fully responsible, how do you plan to operate it in the early stage of development." ”

"I'll make sure it doesn't lose money." Paulson was quick to give an answer.

"Don't lose money? You're really an alternative, I handed over the company to you, are you sure you can only guarantee that it doesn't lose money? Instead of promising me how much money to make? Ye Jingcheng said in a mocking tone.

Rather than be discouraged, Paulson pondered and said seriously: "Financial investment is different from ordinary industries, and even the most professional people cannot control the risks.

My biggest disadvantage is my lack of experience, and taking over a company in a hurry and making a big deal will only put me in a bigger predicament. Therefore, the initial investment style, the concept of risk aversion will be more suitable for me, one is to be well prepared for the market to fall, and I don't have to worry about the market when the market rises. The second is that risk arbitrage is not the pursuit of making money, but the pursuit of not losing money. ”

"Before that, not losing money equaled making money." At the end, Paulson added a sentence to conclude.

"And after that?" Ye Jingcheng said with interest.

To put it simply, Paulson is still trying to win with stability. The difference is that the approach he proposes is more comprehensive and is only part of the whole phase.

"After that? When I have enough experience and a great opportunity, I'm sure you won't regret leaving the company in my hands. Paulson said confidently.

As mentioned above, he has formulated a good investment style for himself, and he only has a general idea in the future, because there are too many variables in the process, and the plan must be modified according to the actual situation at that time.

However, he also knows that if he really wants to achieve the results that Ye Jingcheng is satisfied with, he will definitely not be able to continue to develop steadily. You have to think outside the box of the market in order to achieve success that others don't have.

To put it bluntly, if you don't make money, if you want to make a big profit.
