Alice has been in the United States for more than two months, and during this time, she has been in charge of negotiating with some banks in the United States.
The customer who applied for a loan with Google equity in his hand was, of course, the most popular customer, so after Alice released the wind that she wanted a mortgage, she quickly became a high-quality customer that several banks competed for.
After picking and choosing for a while, Alice finally chose the Bank of America, which had the best conditions, as a partner to work with, and used the Google stock in her hand to borrow two billion dollars from the Bank of America.
You must know that American banks are not philanthropists, and most of these guys are villains who eat people and don't spit out bones, but the reason why they are so generous this time is mainly because Alice's Google stock in her hand is too attractive.
Now Google's stock is unique in the NASDAQ market, and the growth is gratifying, and many investors seem to see the arrival of a new Microsoft empire.
It's only been a little more than a year since it went public, but Google's market value has more than doubled, and according to the development momentum of woodware, it is several times more than that, which is not unusual.
Moreover, Google's shares can be said to have no price in the market, and it is difficult to find a ticket, and at this time, some people take Google's shares as collateral, and these bank capitalists, of course, are overjoyed.
Jin Xiaoqiang didn't care what these people were planning, and this time he took 2 billion yuan from the Bank of America, which had been invested by Alice into the account of a newly registered investment fund in the Cayman Islands.
There are countless such vests in the United States, and investment institutions from all over the world like to do so, and the open capital market of the Americans also welcomes these investors who go forward and succeed, anyway, no matter how they play, they will still scrape off a layer of skin for the Americans in the end.
On August 15, Jin Xiaoqiang arrived in Los Angeles in the United States, and then transferred directly to New York non-stop.
As soon as he came out of New York's KFJ Airport, he got into Alice's car to pick him up, drove straight out of the airport, and came to a neighborhood called Greenwich in Lower Manhattan, New York.
In the 60s of the last century, it used to be the center of modern art in the United States, somewhat similar to the 798 Art Center in Beijing, but over time, it has become a paradise for the rich.
Many wealthy guys, in order to show their artistic taste and improve their worth, have chosen their new homes here.
Therefore, since the 89s of the last century, it has become the location of New York's favorite new home, and many wealthy New Yorkers have lived here.
And New York is the world's financial center, and nine out of ten rich people in New York started with finance, so it is natural that it has become the company address of many emerging financial tycoons.
Many new investment companies and fund companies have also set up offices here.
Especially after the 911 incident in 2001, many people who play finance feel that working in the golden mile of Manhattan is no longer as safe as it used to be.
As a result, many people have chosen to locate their new companies, so it is only natural that this is another small financial center that has quietly emerged outside of Wall Street in Manehattan.
Alice had quietly rented a house here a few months ago, and had found a lot of people from China and the United States.
Some of these people had participated in the company's previous campaign to snipe at Yamashiro Beer in China, while others were powerful operators recruited from the United States.
After Jin Xiaoqiang came to the company, he roughly inspected the company's office address, which was still a large cargo storage warehouse in the last century.
However, after the renovation of those artists in the last century, it has been transformed into a modern loft-style apartment, and later, after Alice took over, the renovation workers were hired to simply renovate the place and change it into a large open office space.
Anyway, Jin Xiaoqiang and they don't plan to do this business for a long time, so it is very suitable as a temporary office space.
Now there are about 50 people in the company, half of whom are domestic traders, and half are employees from the United States.
These people have been strictly screened by Alice, you must know that this time they are fighting on the soil of the United States, and they have so many yellow faces gathered here, it is easy to arouse the vigilance of Americans, so this time Alice can be said to have selected thousands of American employees. …,
A lot of them come from the obscure people at the bottom of a big company like Goldman Sachs or Morgan.
You must know that on Wall Street, the competition can be said to be very fierce, every year there are countless elites from all over the world, will choose to come here to find opportunities, and the four major investment banks have a very strict policy on selecting talents.
These large investment banks and investment institutions in the United States have their own very strict system of training and selecting talents, so although there will be many people who can enter these large companies every year, most of the newcomers can only get some miscellaneous opportunities, and there are very few who want to really get in touch with money, that is, to participate in substantive transactions.
And in this way, of course, there will be many people who are dissatisfied with this situation, and many young people with ambitions will not be willing to work in such a large company for a lifetime, and everyone hopes to have a chance to get ahead in the future.
So Alice was exactly the idea of these people, and after thousands of selections, it was finally possible to dig up about twenty-five young people who had actual experience in turf trading, but had no hope of promotion, or had great ambitions, from several major companies and well-known funds.
Jin Xiaoqiang's original plan for these people was a one-time thing, and after using this time, he dismissed these people, but when he arrived in the United States, especially in this office, after seeing the passionate work of these people, he had some other plans in his heart.
At present, the most profitable industry in the world, I'm afraid it will be finance, playing industry will never have these playing financial money, and with their Huayang power day by day, sooner or later they will have to get involved in the financial field, so can these people be raised and become a part of the Huayang Power Securities Department in the future?
Or simply set up a venture capital firm and survive in the United States?
Jin Xiaoqiang sat on the second floor of this company, looking at the open operation room below from the window, and the lively traders pondered in his heart.
It has been a month since the company was established, because the scale of the operation this time is very large, and the funds involved may be 200 million at the beginning, and may rise to billions or even tens of billions of dollars in the end.
Moreover, although the financial regulation in the United States is also quite flawed, it is always much more formal than in China, so the guerrilla-like method of warfare in China in the past is no longer effective.
In order to evade the supervision of the U.S. Financial Services Authority and the strict investigation of the Internal Revenue Service, this time they set up a company, Flamingo Ventures.
Just when Jin Xiaoqiang was pondering whether this company could be retained in the future, Alice walked in with three people.
One of the three people is Chinese, and the other two are Americans, two men and one woman.
"Boss, these are the company's three main managers, this is Huang Guotao, the company's CTO, he is mainly responsible for the company's network management and security, as well as mathematical modeling."
Alice pointed to the tall young man in his thirties to introduce Jin Xiaoqiang, Jin Xiaoqiang had seen the establishment of this person before, this Huang Guotao came to Jiangxi Province in the Celestial Empire, a top student of Huaqing University in the late nineties, and came to the United States to study for a master's degree in computer science after graduation.
He studied at USC, a famous university in the United States known for its computers, and his mathematical ability is very strong, and after obtaining a master's degree, he studied for a doctorate, and has his own set of programming modeling.
He has published his papers in several issues of world-renowned mathematics journals, when he was about to graduate from college with a doctorate, many world-renowned computer companies and Internet companies extended olive branches to him, just when everyone thought that he would become the second Kai-Fu Lee of the Internet company, this guy suddenly chose to enter Wall Street.
And joined the most well-known Goldman Sachs company on Wall Street, and worked as a data risk analyst for three years, just before Goldman Sachs planned to give him a promotion and a salary increase, Alice took the lead in poaching him from Goldman Sachs, and the price paid was considerable.
"Hehe, hello Mr. Huang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
This information about Huang Guotao flashed quickly in Jin Xiaoqiang's mind, and Jin Xiaoqiang stretched out his hand to Huang Guotao with a smile.
"Haha, hello, Mr. Jin, I'm also very happy to meet you, to be honest, I really don't know, in addition to being a world-renowned car design master, you are actually an expert in playing finance."
Obviously, Huang Guotao has already recognized Jin Xiaoqiang, after all, Jin Xiaoqiang is a world-renowned car designer, although he has not had many opportunities to show his face in various news magazines, but he is a young entrepreneur with legendary experience, and he is still very popular with Americans, and he usually shows his face in American economic magazines or news, so it is not unusual for people to know him.
The two of them have officially met, but there are not too many pleasantries, after all, there are two other people waiting.
"Boss, this is Brian. Hunter, who previously worked at LTCM, then JPMorgan Chase, is now the CEO of our company......"
Alice introduced the thin and tall American beside Huang Guotao to Jin Xiaoqiang.
