Chapter 286: Busy
The river crab beast is ferocious, and it is decided to delete the Haval side plot and directly start the plot of the expansion of the business empire.
――――――
Tang Bao and Li Zhen have been separated from each other for a long time, and the relationship suddenly broke out in an instant, which is extraordinarily warm and obsessive, and the relationship between the two has made a qualitative breakthrough, and it is the first time to taste the wonderful taste of men and women, and they always want to be tired of being together and do not want to separate. Tang Bao temporarily forgot to take the helm of his business empire, and Li Zhen did not care about her schoolwork.
Shopping spree in shopping malls, visits to places of interest, football games, chartering luxury yachts to go to sea...... Almost everywhere in Boston, they have left their footprints!
Immersed in the world of the two, time always flies, and more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye. Tang Bao returned to New York in great reluctance, there was no way, there was already a backlog of important documents waiting for him to deal with in half a month, and Kate had already urged him through Lei. And Li Zhen, who skipped class crazily, also kept receiving notifications from her classmates, and if she continued to skip class, her tutor would really be mad.
Early morning.
Tang Bao, who had just gotten up, picked up the phone and chatted warmly with Li Zhen, although he had just returned from Boston, he felt that he had been separated for a long time and had no energy to do anything.
……
"Boss, give!" Seeing that the call was over, Kate walked over slowly, smiled and gave Tang Bao a clean hot towel.
"Uh, thank you, Kate." Tang Bao was slightly stunned, then took it and apologized. Usually he is used to going for morning jogging and doing morning exercises after waking up, and he sweats, and Kate will always carefully prepare hot towels for him in advance. But today he only cared about talking to Li Zhen on the phone, obviously not sweating in the morning, but he didn't refuse Kate's kindness.
on this.
Kate just smiled lightly. Looking at the time, she knew that it was impossible for Tang Bao to go to the morning exercise anymore, so she directly served the prepared breakfast. On the table, there are also a few newspapers that Tang Bao often pays attention to. "Boss, when you went to Boston, I found the right team of butlers. There are housekeepers, cooks, nannies, maids, florists, tea masters, etc. There were twenty-five people in total. I've checked the background of this housekeeper team member, and it's all clean. If you don't have a problem, I'll decide to sign an employment contract with them. ”
"Heh, this little thing, you just have to look at the decision." Tang Bao drank the milk in the cup and said with a smile. "You don't have to report everything to me."
"Okay."
Kate smiled and agreed.
"Didn't you say that there are a lot of important things for me to decide, why did I come back and only mention a small thing that didn't matter?" Tang Bao asked.
Hear the words.
Kate couldn't help but laugh and said, "Boss, I didn't take it out directly." I just want to make you have a safe breakfast. If you're going to finish everything before dinner, you're probably going to be hungry today. The backlog of important documents in her hand, as well as event invitations and private banquets from celebrities in the political and business circles, all need Tang Bao's approval, even if it is approved without thinking, it is not something that can be done in a moment.
"Uh......" Tang Bao couldn't help but be stunned.
But I thought that in the more than half a year since he left, when I received a lot of instructions, I replied with the excuse of "wait for me to go back and decide", and it took a long time. It's no surprise that the backlog of documents is piling up.
Meal.
Kate quickly picked up a large pile of documents and threw them in front of Tang Bao.
"Boss, this is only a small part of it, you look at it slowly......" Seeing Tang Bao's face instantly darkened. Kate whispered.
Syllable.
Hearing that there were more similar documents, Tang Bao suddenly lost his mood, and directly threw the documents in his hand onto the table with a bang. With a headache, he asked, "Didn't I say a long time ago that I would send all the unimportant documents back?" How can there still be so many files? ”
"Boss, many documents in the company need to be signed by the chairman. And the chairman of Phoenix Investment Group and East West Bank is all served by you, even if you delegate power. It's impossible to take it easy. Kate said. Then he continued, "In fact, many projects that need to be signed and approved by the chairman have been implemented without your approval, and now, it is just a matter of supplementing and improving the procedures!" ”
"Huh?"
Tang Bao's brows suddenly furrowed, and his face turned cold. If you can implement it unhindered without his permission, and then use it for him to sign afterwards, doesn't that mean that you have become an ornament for signing and sealing.
"These projects that have been implemented beyond the regulations are not large, and they have also been approved by the president and other directors of Horst, so there should be no problem, and they will also be filed and explained for the first time afterwards...... For those major projects, they will wait for approval, and dare not exceed their authority. Kate hurriedly explained, "President Horst, they just want to improve the efficiency of the operation of capital, and they have no malicious intent. ”
"Hmm."
Tang Bao's face softened slightly, and he also nodded in agreement. He naturally knew that this was just an expedient measure taken by Horst when Tang Bao, the chairman, could not sit in the company for a long time. If you want to talk about accountability, you can only blame yourself, it is because you can't perform the responsibilities of the chairman normally, so there will be this strange situation of signing documents after the fact.
Then.
Tang Bao picked out a few documents waiting for him to resign and improve the procedural process, and read them carefully, they were all formal and there was no problem.
Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Understanding is understanding, but Tang Bao can't let it go, once this kind of thing becomes a routine, it will become a fatal company management loophole.
Tang Bao secretly decided in his heart that he must fill this loophole as soon as possible.
Sighing lightly, Tang Bao said to Kate, "The documents that need to be resigned should be postponed for the time being." Since it has been delayed, it will not matter, and there is no need to rush for a while. ”
"Hmm."
Kate hurriedly replied, quickly separating the papers. In addition to a large number of documents waiting to be resigned, Tang Bao's workload was suddenly greatly reduced.
"Boss, this is the result of Phoenix Investment Group's success in the Japanese stock market. Well, these two are the ...... of East West Bank and Phoenix Capital"
"Oh?"
"Oh, the three companies have long since withdrawn from the Japanese stock market and locked in their gains. Before we came back, we all emailed the earnings report. Kate laughed.
Oh.
Tang Bao sighed softly, took the financial report, and flipped through it gently.
Phoenix Investment Group invested $4.5 billion in its own funds and earned $14.986 billion, while more than a dozen funds in the asset management department invested a total of $2.3 billion and earned $7.62 billion. Sum up. Phoenix Investment Group earned a total of $22.606 billion in the Japanese stock market.
East West Bank's harvest was much smaller, at $1.3 billion. One is that the principal invested is small, and the other is that the courage is not enough, and the Nikkei left the market when it fell to about 350,000 points. Of course, this may also have something to do with the fact that Wienerberg, the president of East West Bank, is well versed in traditional banking and is not familiar with the operation of the futures market.
Phoenix Capital, controlled by Yang Yang in the UK. At first, he accepted Tang Bao's remote command, and then gradually gained autonomy. This time, Yang Yang's performance also lived up to expectations, with only $500 million invested. Boldly adopt high leverage, reaping more than $3 billion in profits.
In terms of return on investment, the Phoenix Capital Company brought by Yang Yang is undoubtedly the best performer. In terms of total profits, the Phoenix Investment Group controlled by Horst is naturally the most.
……
"Benefiting from the Japanese market, the annual return of the funds under the asset management department of Phoenix Investment Group this year is generally above 40%, and even the return on investment of many funds is more than 100%! Many investors are envious, and I heard that many people have called recently to ask when to launch a new fund. Tang Bao looked at the financial report. The mood became good, and Kate said with a smile.
on this.
Tang Bao smiled and said nothing, it is not difficult for one of his funds to achieve an annual return on investment of 40%, but the return on investment of more than a dozen funds is above 40%. It's terrifying. With such excellent performance, it is understandable that investors would want to invest in trust.
"With such good results, not only investors are eager for a piece of the pie, but Wall Street peers are also jealous. I heard that it was at a business banquet the other day. Goldman Sachs CEO Weinberg once wanted to poach Vice President Li with a high salary, although it was in a joking tone, but many people felt that Weinberg did have the idea of poaching. Kate said.
"Goldman Sachs wants to dig Li Xiaofeng?" Tang Baodao.
"Yes. But you can rest assured, boss. Vice President Li directly refused. Kate laughed.
"I don't have anything to worry about, heh, Phoenix Investment Group is no worse than Goldman Sachs except for the lack of network management." Tang Bao said indifferently.
Let's be honest.
The asset management department can achieve such excellent results, which is inseparable from his guidance in the general direction, and Tang Bao is not afraid that Li Xiaofeng will be poached at all. I believe Li Xiaofeng also understands that his achievements are not all on his own. Without Phoenix Investment Group and the general direction guidance given by Tang Bao, it is difficult to say whether he can continue to become the best fund manager on Wall Street.
"Hmm. The treatment of Phoenix Investment Group is considered to be the top in the industry, and it can retain talents. However, many large companies have come to poach and promise high salaries...... President Horst has also negotiated several times with major Wall Street companies on this matter. Kate said.
Large companies poaching each other will rapidly increase labor costs. It is also wise for Horst to adopt a negotiation strategy and avoid poaching each other.
"Huh? Adelson borrowed $1 billion from Phoenix Investment Group...... Is his real estate company in trouble? Seeing a document, Tang Bao was surprised.
"Housing prices have plummeted, sales have not been good, and many banks are chasing after repayment, and the capital chain is very tight. He knew that you had returned to China and had wanted to get your investment back, but it happened that you went to Boston and couldn't get the money back. I saw that he was waiting for the money, and the Phoenix Investment Group was also rich in liquidity, so I arranged for him to borrow a billion dollars. Kate explained.
"So, it was your idea for Adelson to borrow funds from Phoenix Investment Group?" Tang Bao said with a smile.
"Hmm."
Kate didn't deny it.
"Well done! If it is because of me that his capital chain is broken and the company goes bankrupt, then it will be a great sin. Thankfully, you're able to improvise. Tang Bao praised Kate's arrangement of borrowing funds. This Adelson too, since the funds are so urgent, why don't you go to Boston to find me. ”
"He heard that you went on a date with Miss Li, he may be embarrassed to disturb, maybe he thinks he can support it through other channels for a while longer." Kate said.
Well.
Tang Bao also nodded silently. Adelson, a real estate tycoon in the United States, is also the most financially powerful member of the Ink Fund.
"Whew...... The funds of the Moke Fund have moved to Singapore again, and they have not completely left the market. But now it seems that Adelson has been hoping for this money for a long time. Well, I have to find a time to communicate with Adelson well, and if the other party is in urgent need of funds, withdraw his funds in advance and return them to him directly. Tang Bao muttered quietly.
Then.
Kate reminded in a low voice, "Boss, this time Adelson borrowed funds from Phoenix Investment Group, but he paid a lot of interest. There are even those who oppose lending. ”
This is understandable, given that the real estate industry is in a harsh environment, and lending billions of dollars to real estate developers is undoubtedly a huge risk.
It's normal for someone to object!
As for the borrowing profits, when the time comes, Tang Bao will be directly exempted. Because Adelson could have gone straight to him to get his money back.
……
Excluding the documents that need to be resigned, Tang Bao's workload has decreased sharply, but he still has to work hard for a week to complete the task.
It took a few more days to get the re-signed documents.
By the time Tang Bao was completely free, the time had come to mid-May. (To be continued......)
