Chapter 063 [Building 85 Browder, New York]

After Christmas in the West, Luo Sheng began his trip to North America, and the company's relocation was finalized, and he didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Luo Sheng's first trip chose Wall Street, this trip, there were six company members who came with him, Qin Weimu was also impressively among them, and only she had gone abroad, and the other few were young start-up team members of the company, this was the first time to go abroad, bringing them here is a means for Luo Sheng to cultivate talents internally, and the purpose of bringing them here is to expand their international vision, which is commonly known as a long insight.

Luo Sheng will not be ambiguous about poaching people, but he also attaches equal importance to cultivating talents internally.

Speaking of which, if Qin Weimu hadn't chosen the profession of a lawyer because of herself, but went for a high salary, she would very likely appear on Wall Street, Goldman Sachs, Da Mo, Merrill Lynch, these big investment banks have sent her offers, you must know that there are more than 90,000 job applications for an intern position at Goldman Sachs every month, and the acceptance rate is only about 2%, and other large investment banks are also about the same proportion, and about 90% of all offers will be invited to join.

……

On December 28, Luo Sheng came to Manhattan, reversed the time difference, and went to the headquarters of Goldman Sachs after a day off.

Long before coming to New York, Luo Sheng had already said hello to Meng Qiu, the head of Goldman Sachs Group in China, and this time seeking financing was a little different, because the company still has relatively sufficient funds, and there are still about 280 million yuan, under normal circumstances, the A round of financing has received such a large investment, and it will not be financed in the first half of next year.

But for Luo Sheng, his strategic layout of the company in the next step, the funds are far from enough, and it takes more energy and tongue to let investors play with him and spend money on him.

At about 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Sheng came to the foot of the Goldman Sachs headquarters building, and his temporary assistant looked at the door in front of him a little stunned: "This is the Goldman Sachs headquarters?" The level of simplicity is really beyond the imagination of ordinary people, anyway, it is completely different from what I thought......"

Qin Weimu explained simply: "Goldman Sachs headquarters is famous for not having any logo on the outside. ”

Its simple brown headquarters building is located at No. 85 Browder Avenue in New York, but this "No. 85 building" is famous in the world, as Goldman Sachs, which has been promoted to the world's largest investment bank since the new century, but anyone who knows a little about finance may not be unaware of its name, this place has always been a place where investment banking elites diligently work, and being able to become a partner of Goldman Sachs means having countless wealth.

Luo Sheng walked in, but was quickly stopped by a white man walking towards him, and a contempt suddenly rose in his heart when he saw that it was an Asian face.

"Sorry sir, you need to wear formal clothes to come in."

The white man who came to stop him said, his behavior seemed quite gentlemanly, but deep down he did have extreme disdain for Asian faces, but his expressions and words and deeds did not reveal the true thoughts in his heart, and to work in one of the largest investment banking firms on Wall Street, emotional intelligence and intelligence are indispensable.

Luo Sheng didn't wear formal clothes when he came, but it doesn't mean that his outfit is cheap, in fact, they are all custom-made clothes, but they look super ordinary.

He immediately replied calmly: "I have an appointment with Mr. Henry Paulson, and I am here to make an appointment. ”

The white man thought he had heard it wrong, Henry Paulson, known as one of the most influential financial experts in the United States and the current head of Goldman Sachs, is really a giant on Wall Street.

Just when the white man was stunned, a person suddenly came over to relieve the siege, it was Meng Qiu, the head of Goldman Sachs in China, he talked to the white man for a few words, and the other party looked at Luo Sheng again, and then left.

At this time, Meng Qiu shook hands with Luo Sheng, communicated in Chinese, and said with a faint smile: "President Luo, please here." Frankly speaking, although I work for Goldman Sachs, if it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't have come to Manhattan, don't look at these people with very high self-cultivation, but these people look down on us in their hearts, in Wall Street, people here are hypocritical except for the true love for dollar bills. ”

Luo Sheng smiled and didn't answer, but he also had a good impression of Meng Qiu, but that's all, as he said, this is Wall Street.

Meng Qiu once again kindly reminded: "I have to remind you Mr. Luo, you may face a lot of difficulties later, Henry specially invited a lot of reporters, Henry Paulson, how to say, in Wall Street and even the world's financial circle, you must be mentally prepared." ”

Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, and said quietly: "Thank you." ”

Of course, he was no stranger to the name Henry Paulson, because as long as he knew about the subprime mortgage crisis, he could not avoid it, and he knew not only Henry Paulson, but also John Paulson.

After entering the elevator, Meng Qiu didn't say much, and took the elevator to the top floor together, and he also pinched the sweat for Luo Sheng, even if he saw such a character, he would feel nervous, especially this kind of battle, the invisible pressure was even greater.

However, Meng Qiu was also quite surprised, because he found that Luo Sheng's calm and confident expression never disappeared, this young man did have an extraordinary side.

That's how it can be described.

……

The Goldman Sachs headquarters building is quite beautiful in architecture, and the geographical environment is also very good, in terms of physical environment, it can be said that it is impeccable, and it is also an experience to work in this building when you come down to the eleventh floor at night to look out at the sunset and the Statue of Liberty in the west.

But at the same time, more than 10,000 Goldman Sachs employees are squeezed into more than 40 floors, making it seem that the place is always bustling and busy.

However, even at Goldman Sachs, the difference between people within the company is simply greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Employees here are not occupied by their work, and have a little leisure to observe everything around them, but most of the time this is not the case, and if they are, they will feel that they are just a dispensable cog in an incomparably large machine, pushed by thousands of other gears, and even if they leave, there will be a new gear on top of them.

Moreover, due to the complexity of the investment banking business, if an employee randomly meets another employee at Goldman Sachs, there is a more than 50% chance that they will not be able to talk about work casually, for example, one belongs to the investment banking department and the other belongs to the trading department, and the two parties have to apply for a job to talk about, and there is a 49% chance that these two people will not be able to understand each other's work and life at all, and may not be interested at all.

The people working here are actually very lonely, more than 10,000 people, and there may only be a dozen colleagues and a few bosses who can really speak, but this is also determined by the nature of the industry, and most investment banks are basically the same in this regard.

After getting out of the elevator, Meng Qiu led Luo Sheng to a conference hall inside the building.

As soon as he entered the interior, Luo Sheng saw twenty or thirty eyes focused on him, including well-known North American media personalities such as "The New York Times" and "Bloomberg".

When a group of foreigners present saw him, many of them looked at him in surprise, especially reporters from several media outlets.

Meng Qiu returned to the position of Goldman Sachs, here, even he couldn't speak, the people sitting at the middle conference table were all real bigwigs, Meng Qiu couldn't help but secretly sweat for Luo Sheng again, no matter how you look at it, this battle is not something that a young man under the age of twenty can withstand.
