Chapter 34 Positioning
"Don't rush, take your time, time is my friend." Hall told himself so in his heart.
Decided to adopt the proposal and donate 500,000 pounds to the London School of Economics and Political Science in the name of AEC Capital to initiate research on topics related to [quantitative trading].
Select a candidate for a trader's position and process the documents that have accumulated for a week.
Outside the window, the sky was getting dark, and there was a knock on the office door, and Monte pushed the door in.
Hall waved his hand familiarly to sit down, and said, "Long time no see, how do you feel about this business trip?" ”
"It's going very well, with Mr. Hall's full discretion, we just need to execute the order, and then we can easily make a profit......" Monte said in a brisk tone.
Hall couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth: "Before you came, Lawyer Benjamin had already sent me a business trip report. Take it easy, I'm not talking to you about work, I'm talking about yourself. ”
"Myself? To be honest, the trip didn't go well for me, it was a lot of thrills, but the end result was wonderful. I had an experience that I had many times to remember with my children in my old age. Monte gave a standard answer.
Hall sighed and smiled, "You still know how to chat as always, I originally wanted to talk to you casually."
In that case, let's talk straight to the pay.
I promised you £200,000 + a job offer. As you just said, you have this work history, and it should be easy to find your dream job.
So you choose for yourself, whether you need a job offer from me. ”
Monte interjected with a rare serious expression: "Thank you for your recognition and trustworthiness, can I know what I will be responsible for when I join the AEC?" ”
"At present, the company has two businesses, secondary market securities investment and primary market venture capital. I'm the only funder, and I don't think about raising funds in the short term, so I don't have your own job, and if you join AEC, I want you to join the VC team. Hall explained in detail.
Monte pondered and hesitated, "...... Does this require a long-term business trip? ”
"It's up to you how you position yourself. Let me tell you the requirements first: AEC is my personal business, and it is very separate from the Hall family. In the general direction, I can use the Hall family's connections, channels, and many other invisible resources.
But at the specific work level, I can't even order a fast food and ask Caroline for a restaurant delivery number.
Therefore, we need an experienced employee who has accumulated work experience and can execute work instructions meticulously.
In the previous collaboration, you showed such qualities.
So if you position yourself like this, there is no need to travel. However, if you want to have a better development, business travel is a must, after all, venture capital eats this bowl of rice. Hall said frankly.
Monte has many shortcomings, and his years of professional life have made him habitually dump the pot and subconsciously casual...... And so on and a series of small flaws.
But in the same way, this has allowed him to accumulate enough experience and ability.
Hall didn't have the energy to re-control one of these panacea subordinates, the former he had just worked with, and he was the current candidate.
Of course, if Monte really doesn't want to, he doesn't force it.
It takes a lot of time to grab a handful of such old fritters.
"I have to say that you are lenient enough with me, so why should I not join such conditions?" Monte shook his head and sighed, "I am willing to join AEC Capital. ”
Hale pulled out one of them from the paper-strewn table: "Work contract, take it out and review it, no problem go to Caroline to sign it." Let Brandon in. ”
With room to develop or lie flat and guaranteed, Monte got two career choices, repeatedly thanked him, and quit the office.
Two minutes later, Brandon walked into the office.
Hall elbowed the table, rubbed his eyebrows, without any greetings, and went straight to the point: "How about coming to AEC to be my assistant?" ”
“…… I was ready to go home and compete for the management of the family business, and with the commissions of the Orange Manor, I was almost sure of it. ”
Brandon was stunned, then a restrained smile appeared on his face.
Hall replied: "LSE graduate student in economics and management, that's a bit of a waste, I think you need a big stage." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm happy to help you!" Brandon didn't hesitate.
Before he and Monte came to the AEC today, they had already thought about the possibility of being "co-opted", and all they had to consider was the specific conditions.
There is no better condition to become a working assistant for a talented investor!
Munters also considers family factors and weighs job prospects.
And Brandon, just point out a path and tell him that there is everything you want at the end of the road.
Then he will run down this path desperately, without even making any effort to convince him.
Because he himself will place bets, as he did last time.
Hall looked up in satisfaction, and the conversation changed: "What do you think of Monte?" ”
"Frankly, I used to despise him a little, a typical old fritter in the workplace...... I still think so, but I'm starting to try to understand him. Brandon said.
Hall looked at him: "That's good, as my assistant, you have to have not only professional skills, but also management skills and initiative.
With your educational background and work history, I believe you can do these things well.
It's just professional experience, which takes time to polish, and I'm worried about whether you can handle the relationship between employees.
I usually go to school, so a lot of the time, it's up to you to control the company. ”
Hall's positioning for Monte is to do the work he has assigned without making mistakes; Brandon, on the other hand, represents his own will entirely.
If he is not clear about his position and has a strong personal tendency in his work, it will be troublesome.
Brandon's mind was clear enough to grasp the core idea: "Mr. Hall, please rest assured, I know what to do." ”
"This is a commission for the commercial development of Orange Manor, do it well, or Lady Helena will blame me." Hall took out two documents and handed them to the other party, "Take them out and review them, and your work contract, no problem to go to Caroline to sign." ”
Brandon grabbed the papers and got up to take his leave.
Hall remembered something, called out to stop him, took out a checkbook, and signed two of them: "You and White, each with a bonus of 50,000 pounds, this deal is beautifully completed." ”
"Thank you for your generosity! I'm just worried about renting a house in the future, and the bonus is very timely! Brandon thanked him sincerely and excitedly accepted the check.
Hall has given £1.8 million to the entire Black Monday trading team at 2% of the £90 million as a bonus.
He and Monte each received 150,000 pounds, and now they received another 50,000 pounds each.
It's the equivalent of a reward for one person – an apartment of similar size in a mid-range area of London......
"Let's go get busy first, I booked a restaurant in the evening and ate together, Caroline said you did a good job." Hall replied unconcernedly.
This is how the financial industry plays, making a lot of money and eating meat.
The bonus he gave was on the upper end of a reasonable range, neither stingy nor brainless and generous.
As for the respective remuneration given to Monte and Brandon before, it can be understood that there is a shortage of people for small companies to start a business, and they offer a high base salary, and there will be no such good thing in the future.
