The ups and downs of the dance consumed too much enthusiasm from the students, and the games and dinners that followed were as plain as water and nothing to show off.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the performances of Charlotte and Isabella, the two blonde girls, are too bright and shining, attracting the attention of many Eton boys.

The two men who acted as dance scaffolders couldn't get close to each other when they wanted to say a word to their dance partners, and there was zero communication throughout the whole process.

After the networking event, Charlotte took the initiative to find Hall and asked for the address of his home, saying that she would send a gift as a thank you when she returned.

Ansel almost became depressed again as a result.

It didn't take long for him to start feeling high again, showing off his sassy waistcoat: "What do I say, honor is the most gorgeous costume!" ”

This makes Hall extremely looking forward to the "Rising Star" status that he will get next week, and he will have to put the vest on the other party's head when the time comes!

With anticipation in mind, time flies away, rushing to early classes, sports competitions, exams, ...... Fast forward to the weekend holidays.

The Brahmin transfer student named Shukla was brainwashed by the success of the Renaissance and Reformation course, and it looked like it would not be long before he would become the shape his homeland wanted.

In order to fit in, he bought a house in London and invited all his classmates to participate in the name of holding a moving party.

Hall declined the invitation and stepped on the green train to the City of London, busy with entrepreneurial matters.

The City of London, the UK's first financial centre.

This small city is home to many financial giants and hundreds of millions of transactions are carried out every day. Elites gather here like ants to drive the financial industry across Europe and even the world.

At the same time, it has created a property price that far exceeds the average price, which can be called every inch of land.

With Hall's worth, he is only willing to rent an office of less than 400 square meters in an office building near the bank subway station.

"Start-ups, 400 square meters are enough, you can see the Thames with a telescope, and what kind of bicycle do you need."

Hall walked out of the elevator with a self-muttering message and followed the signs labeled "AEC Capital" to find his own company.

"Hello, this is AEC Capital...... Oh, hello Mr. Hall. Ms. Caroline is in a recruitment interview, are you going to attend? The girl at the front desk with the job sign saying "Taylor" asked.

Hall looked at his watch: "No, the interview should be over soon, right?" ”

"Uh, it should be, this is the last interviewee." Taylor stood up, "Need my help introducing the office?" ”

Hall smiled kindly: "No, you're busy, I'll take a look." ”

Britain cut off its head more than 100 years earlier than France, and there is no shortage of things to do to hang street lamps, and there is no such thing as "kneeling and licking" in the workplace culture as a whole.

Therefore, it is better for capitalists to be friendly and easy-going to ordinary employees in order to buy people's hearts.

Of course, Monte's old workplace fritters, or employees like Brant who want to "improve", belong to a different situation.

A public office area of about 100 square meters, two conference rooms, one large and one small, a pantry, and two independent offices.

The general manager's office is near the window, thanks to the fact that there are not many high-rise buildings nowadays, and the view is wide, and you can see the Thames River flowing slowly in the distance.

The office was a former financial fraud company, and a lot of thought was put into the renovation, using a lot of high-strength architectural glass that had only been on the market for a few years.

The overall look is simple and refreshing, with a very modern and simple tone of later generations.

"It's a grade higher than the company I opened in my last life."

Hall walked around, full of accomplishment, legs on the desk, picked up the intercom phone, and asked for a cup of coffee.

"How do you like this coffee now, I brought black tea from home." A few minutes later, Caroline walked into the room with a glass of ice American.

Hall folded his legs and sat upright: "If you drink too much tea, your teeth will be blackened, and this thing is a great refreshment as a substitute." ”

"Okay, how about this office?" Caroline asked.

Hall replied, "I like it very much, Aunt Caroline has worked hard for you." ”

"If you can give me some specific instructions for what to do, it will be a lot easier for me." Caroline complained, "There are several documents in the desk, company registration information, employee employment contracts......

The proceeds of "Black Monday" were received in the account, totaling 87.92 million pounds. The financial details are clearly divided, and 20 million is left in your personal account, and the rest is transferred to the account in Helena's name.

Helena asked me to tell you that this money will be used in the future, and the profit and loss will be reported to you regularly, and major investment matters will be approved by you......"

Hall interrupted with a wave of his hand: "No, I said, it's her business to use this money." Let's talk about the money I left behind. ”

He was born out of wedlock, and the Hale family's assets could be inherited, but the title and membership of the House of Lords were theoretically not hereditary.

Helena was a little sensitive to this.

Caroline shrugged, "Okay, because you haven't injected funds into the AEC yet." At present, the working capital on the company's books is advanced by a company under the name of the Hall family, 710,000 pounds, and the financial has been prepared and you need to sign. ”

"The first phase of 20 million will be injected into the company's account for 12 million, and the rest will be placed in my personal account first." Hall found the corresponding document to sign.

AEC Capital is a partnership structure.

Hall is the only LP (funder) and also serves as the GP (manager), so many things are easier to operate.

"Next item, personnel recruitment. 1 front desk, 1 legal officer. Finance, according to your wishes, I will take over for the time being.

5 traders pass the interview, waiting for you to make the final choice. When a VC analyst is approaching one person, you have to interview in person...... Others, well, cleaning aunts don't need to be recruited, the property has this service. Caroline reported in detail.

Hall clapped his hands in satisfaction: "Aunt Caroline is the perfect assistant, I don't have any opinion, the VC analyst will meet tomorrow." ”

Three positions in the middle and back office and two securities traders have been settled, and as long as one more venture capital analyst is hired, the AEC will be ready to operate normally.

Fund companies tend to be small teams, controlling their own core business and outsourcing everything else.

Administrative and managerial positions are eliminated in the management of the business, and all employees are directly accountable to the GP.

"And Monte and Brandon, I'll see you both at 4 p.m. today. You can have dinner with them after talking, and they are doing a good job. Caroline reminded.

The corners of Hall's mouth rose: "I will, move on to the next question." ”

"In cooperation with universities, the preliminary discussions with LSE this week have not progressed well. You only gave the direction of [quantitative trading], and LSE and the team we brought in from the consulting firm argued over the specifics.

Professor Smith said: "Consulting firm people are fucking monkeys with hammers in their hands, looking at everything like nails. Caroline repeats it as it is.

Hall was silent for a while: "...... To be honest, I don't know the details of quantitative trading, and I can only rely on them for specific details. ”

"[Quantitative trading] is a very new field, and the consulting company received our case and asked the headhunter to temporarily recruit relevant talents from Wall Street to form a team. Most of the funds on the books of the AEC are paid to their salaries. ”

Caroline suggested: "If you are not in a hurry to form a [quantitative trading] team, you can choose to sponsor a sum of money in the form of a donation. Let's let the LSE formation project be studied slowly. Wait for some results, and then carry out business cooperation. ”

"What about other universities?" Hall was noncommittal.

Caroline shook her head: "We sent business plans to Oxford, Imperial College, and Cambridge respectively, and there is no reply for the time being. ”
