Ford Motor Headquarters, Dearborn, Michigan, USA

"Young man, I'm surprised that you are so young, I don't know how you managed to get this 15 minutes of conversation for you through my secretary, but you still have 14 minutes and 30 seconds left...... Don't say polite words, whatcanIdoforyou?" As executive vice president of public relations and media, Serena William is two steps away from vice president of Ford Motor Co., but as a member of the Ford family, especially in his own office, the image of a shrewd and successful entrepreneur is undisguised, and the restrained arrogance is equally undisguised.

"Hmm, Mr. Ford, I am the fund manager of the third division of Merrill Lynch New York Center Business Department, the G3 fund I manage currently holds 1.75 million shares of Ford Motor stock, many reports of Merrill Lynch Research Department are optimistic about the prospects of Ford Motor, this is the reason for us to buy Ford Motor, but recently the media and the market about Ford Motor to join the Swedish Saab car acquisition case is boiling, as a fund manager, I need to be responsible for my own investors, so I personally came to visit you, I want to confirm the credibility of this rumor? ”

"Mr.Ye, you're Chinese? I would like to take the liberty of asking how old you are this year? What business school graduated? How long does it take to join Merrill Lynch? It's rare to be a fund manager at such a young age, to be honest, I thought I was a guy in his early 30s when I saw your business card, but now look, you are at most 27 or 8 years old, right? Serena Crane Ford Jr played with Jiang Yelin's business card in his hand, unable to hide his surprise, a series of cultures with both compliments and questions, this kid can't be a media reporter who faked this set of news with himself, right?

"You can call me Django, my colleagues and friends call me that, I'm really Chinese, Canadian and American dual national, 24 years old this year, just graduated from McGill University in the summer, before entering Columbia University Business School, I wanted to intern at Merrill Lynch for a while, so, I'm now a junior salesperson at Merrill Lynch, and at the same time manage Merrill Lynch's internal fund, G3 Fund, of course, G3 Fund is as young as me, just established, and our investment targets are all big blue chip constituents, Ford is our newest stock holding, which is why I'm here. ”

Jiang Yelin is dressed in an Armani suit, the gold-rimmed eyes and mustache on the bridge of his nose make him look a few years older than his actual age, in addition to talking without being arrogant or humble, his eyes are clear with confidence and kindness, Serena William is also the role of the pride of the sky in Ford, but when he saw this young Asian American, he didn't know how with a hint of goodwill, of course, he didn't want the other party to be a media reporter's spy or a liar, but a recent undergraduate student can enter Merrill Lynch as a broker? What kind of in-house fund does it manage? Where have Merrill Lynch's senior brokers and fund managers gone?

"Only 24 years old? Django, mysterious name, my friends and colleagues call me Crane, I think, if what you say is true, Django, then you can also call me Crane, Merrill Lynch admits many business school elites every year, but McGill University, IMHO, McGill University's business school doesn't seem to have heard much, but McGill University's School of Engineering ranks well among the Ivy League schools...... Why did Merrill Lynch admit you? ”

Serena Crane Ford Jr. has a long list of names, Since Americans officially call each other Mr. surname, but because the Ford family has a bunch of children and grandchildren with the surname Ford, and the best of the next generation are often given the same name and surname of the previous generation, so many times, the middle name is the key to distinguish whether a person is old Ford or Little Ford or someone in the Ford family, in Ford, the employees below call Serena William as Mr. Ford, and executives and superiors at the same level often call him by his middle name Crane, as for Harold to call his name William, it is with the tone of an elder.

"Well, this question also bothers many of my senior colleagues and superiors at Merrill Lynch, perhaps because Merrill Lynch's human resources department has a vision for heroes, right? The net unit value of the G3 fund was $1 per share when it was launched, and as of the time I came here, the subscription share of the G3 fund has increased from 10 million shares to 98 million shares after two open subscriptions. It's $1.22 now, and I believe the 22% yield is a testament to it, not to mention that we're only investing in big blue chips with a high margin of safety, not tech or IT stocks with a mystical aura......"

Jiang Yelin's self-introduction surprised Serena Williams, in front of him, Django was actually in charge of a 98 million Merrill Lynch internal fund, and he actually had a 22% rate of return? One of the heirs of the Ford family couldn't help but have a hint of suspicion, wondering if this kid was bragging? Either this guy is just working as an assistant in that G3 fund, otherwise how could Merrill Lynch hand over a fund with nearly 100 million assets to such a young rookie?

"Tea or coffee?" Serena William asked the Asian young man opposite with a smile, and called his secretary Susan while ringing the bell, "Coffee bar...... Jiang Yelin thinks that coffee is more suitable than tea to shorten the distance between himself and customers on official occasions, although the William William in front of him is far from his customer, of course, William Crane Ford's net worth is very high, and the Ford Class B preferred stock inherited from his name alone exceeds 3 million shares...... Fully qualified to be a VIP investor of G3 funds.

The female secretary Susan quickly sent a fragrant and delicious Blue Mountain coffee, in fact, Serena William never treated himself badly, as a descendant of Ford, his every move must be in line with his identity as a rich child, Cuban cigars and Blue Mountain coffee are his signature signs in the office, as for going out, the Lincoln extended luxury bulletproof sedan is naturally the only choice of the Ford family, although it is slightly thinner than the armor purchased by the President of the United States, it is just a choice made to increase speed, Otherwise, the half-meter-thick door alone can stun people on the side of the street.

"Susan, please pick me up at Merrill Lynch's New York headquarters...... I said Django, what's the switchboard number at your headquarters? Serena William looked up and asked Jiang Yelin, who was drinking coffee, while observing the other party's reaction, Jiang Yelin was obviously a little surprised, I don't know which one this vice president of public relations and media is singing? Do you have any doubts about your identity? Weird, if a liar could go all the way to Michigan, a town with a population of only 98,000?

"The switchboard of Merrill Lynch New York headquarters is 212-76532188, if you want to find my boss, Mr. Wood, the general manager of the third sales department, has an extension number of 2182, and if you want to subscribe to the G3 fund, you can find the sales hotline of the third sales department, and the extension number is 2188...... Of course, because G3 Funds are in-house funds, you must first open a cash or credit account with Merrill Lynch...... The G3J Fund is currently subscribed at $200,000...... The upper limit is $1 million...... "Jiang Yelin reported a series of phone numbers, and made another advertisement for the G3 fund.

"Susan, please connect me to Merrill Lynch's New York headquarters, find Mr. Wood from the third branch of the central sales department, and report my name......" Serena William wanted to put down the phone directly for a moment, Jiang Yelin's reaction made him intuitively think that the other party was indeed a salesman and fund manager of Merrill Lynch, although this reason simply does not make sense at all, I have never heard of a non-business school graduate undergraduates who can manage a fund with assets of nearly 100 million yuan like lightning when they become junior salesmen of securities companies. What went wrong?

The work efficiency of the beautiful secretary is obviously not covered, and just a few dozen seconds later, the phone on the table rang, "Boss, Mr. Wood, the general manager of Merrill Lynch Securities Sales Department 3, is on Line 2...... I transferred in......"

"Hi, I'm William Crane Ford, Executive Vice President of Public Relations and Media at Ford Motor Company, is this Mr. Wood from the third division of the Merrill Lynch Securities Center?" Serena William's face was unnaturally slightly red when he spoke, and he regretted a little that he shouldn't have made this call in front of Jiang Yelin, in a sense, this was a very rude move, but Serena William was used to doing his own thing in Ford, and it was his consistent disposition not to play cards according to the rules.

"Hello, Mr. Wood, is there anything I can do for you?" Although the old Wood on the other end of the phone knew who the Ford son on the other end of the phone was, but the two sides had never met, in fact, a business branch manager of Merrill Lynch Securities Company, if you want to talk to the senior management of Ford Company, it really depends on what the opportunity is, anyway, the old Wood has never thought about this Ford son, more just heard the rumors of the old William this playboy, and is a stranger to Serena William at all.

"Mr. Wood, I personally want to consult, I heard that your business branch has a G3 fund that specializes in investing in big blue chips, with a good rate of return, and the insider is responsible for the investment matters at home, so I want to know about the situation of the G3 fund, by the way, is the G3 fund really fully managed by a fund manager named Django Ye in your company? How old is he, can I tell me a few words? Serena William looked at Jiang Yelin on the chair opposite with a hint of apology in her eyes.

"Ha, I sincerely welcome you and your wife to become customers of Merrill Lynch, focusing on investing in the big blue chip G3 fund is indeed a newly established fund under our business division, which is currently open for subscription and announces the net value of the fund once a week, the threshold for subscription is 200,000 US dollars, and the subscription limit for a single customer does not exceed 1 million US dollars......

Wait a minute, let me see, the current net unit value of the G3 fund is $1.22, if you want to subscribe, I can immediately arrange for the salesperson to contact you and complete the account opening, but the next time to open the subscription is this weekend, so you can only invest in the G3 fund next week at the earliest...... Django Ye is the manager of the G3 Fund, he should be 24 years and 4 months old this year, right? He went to Michigan today to visit a client, and when he comes back, I'll ask him to call you back? ”

"Well, thank you...... I'll discuss it with my insiders and make a decision as much as possible! When Serena put down the phone, he rubbed his hands and felt that he and Ford had an opportunity!
