Chapter 19 Taking the Bait and Going to the United States
At a dinner party for Hong Kong celebrities.
A group of well-dressed upper-class people, holding champagne, surrounded Wu Siyuan and listened attentively to Wu Siyuan's talk, "...Although there is great development in the short term, if it develops too fast, the stock will depreciate in one year."
A white man with blond hair and blue eyes retorted, "No, we have our own sense of proportion."
"Can overexpansion be restrained?" Wu Siyuan asked.
Then he confidently retorted, "No, people often lose their sense of proportion."
"Don't overestimate your capabilities." Wu Siyuan concluded with a smile.
"Look at the country that dominated for a while. Portugal once had a huge fleet, but now it only has cod and inferior condoms..."
The people present couldn't help laughing after hearing this.
"There are also British people who are just showing off their tuxedos on their own island. No one will be satisfied."
The people present laughed louder.
"With a large amount of land, we are not satisfied with a large amount of money. We have to attack Russia in the winter. No one wants to live on interest!"
For Wu Siyuan, just talking about some bad theories of later generations can be refreshing to the elites of various industries present. After thinking about it carefully, they feel that it is very reasonable.
It can be said that Wu Siyuan is at home here.
September 2002.
Wu Siyuan stayed in Hong Kong for more than a month.
During this period of time, the amount of funds in Wu Siyuan's stock market account has reached one billion US dollars.
Originally, [Four-Armed King Kong] could earn more.
But Wu Siyuan let [Four-Armed King Kong] control its earning power.
That's almost it!
One billion dollars can make the entire financial circle regard him as a genius and a stock god.
But 10 billion US dollars, 50 billion US dollars, then all Wu Siyuan got was a cold bullet.
Because Wu Siyuan makes money, someone will always lose money.
And the one who will lose the most will undoubtedly be Wall Street!
So Wu Siyuan stopped.
But even so, people in the financial circles in Hong Kong and around the world also remember the name [Hu Xuejun].
In just over a month.
Wu Siyuan received invitations to join from five of the world's top investment banks, and the securities firm increased his financing amount.
Several newspapers and magazines published his news.
Two of the world's top magazines wanted to interview Wu Siyuan, but of course Wu Siyuan refused.
However, they still published an article about Wu Siyuan and it was also on the cover.
Finally, it was an invitation to meet from a big guy on Wall Street, Brandt, a top private equity fund manager.
Brandt manages a private equity fund worth more than $50 billion and is somewhat famous on Wall Street, bringing impressive returns to his investors over the years.
To be honest, Brandt was not the most important person to invite Wu Siyuan.
But Wu Siyuan accepted his offer and prepared to fly thousands of miles to the United States to meet him.
There is no other reason, because Brandt also has another identity, a director of the American company IIC.
IIC, whose full name is INTERCONT INENTIALIN-VESTMENT CORPORATION, is the largest multinational investment company in the United States. It has branches in many countries and has a strong international influence.
It can be tricky to introduce, but just remember a few things.
Xu Ruyun is the general manager of the company's Chinese branch.
Based on this, Wu Siyuan accepted Brandt's invitation.
Four days later, Wu Siyuan finally completed the procedures and went to the United States with a work visa.
There, he finally met Brandt.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… …
Wu Siyuan’s work visa is very long.
He stayed in the United States for more than a month.
At this time came October 2002.
The funds in Wu Siyuan's account have doubled again, reaching 2 billion US dollars.
This ability to make money impressed Brandt, and his eyes even became fanatical.
He especially enthusiastically invited Wu Siyuan to join his private equity fund, and promised that Wu Siyuan would be able to manage one-third of the assets, have great personal freedom, and have a salary income that is irresistible to ordinary people, as well as a broad future. ——As long as Wu Siyuan agrees, Brandt can agree to whatever working conditions he offers, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
But Wu Siyuan still flatly refused.
He said that he was Chinese and had no intention of developing in the United States. He wanted to return to China to support the construction of the motherland.
But he can also help others manage their assets, and if Brandt is willing, he can invest part of the money in him.
In short, Wu Siyuan is doing a small private equity.
Finally, Wu Siyuan expressed that he hopes to use the reputation of IIC to get an investment-related position in IIC's China branch when he returns to China to help his career.
Brandt thought about it for a while and finally agreed.
After he signed a detailed contract with Wu Siyuan, he transferred US$3 billion to Wu Siyuan for investment.
Among them, there is $100 million of Brandt’s own money.
Wu Siyuan directly handed it over to the [Four-Armed King Kong].
Regarding this, Wu Siyuan only has one sentence, "Don't make too much, take it easy. All in all, a dozen or twenty points will be enough."
As for Wu Siyuan's job requirements, Brandt still had enough say in IIC, and he offered Wu Siyuan a position as an investment manager.
Wu Siyuan readily accepted this. Coming to the United States had achieved his goal, and he began to prepare.
At this time, in a place Wu Siyuan didn't know.
In a high-end residential community somewhere in the United States.
A tall Chinese man with gold-rimmed glasses, who looked polite and good-looking, seemed to have a ball of anger deep in his eyes. He looked at a man in front of him who was about twenty-nine years old, with an upper-middle appearance, and was wearing A woman in pink silk pajamas.
"Sister Eileen, didn't you have an agreement with your husband Jackson? Five hundred thousand dollars, a position as an investment department manager, why are you going back on your word now and actually sending me to be a deputy manager of the investment department!" the Chinese man asked a little angrily road.
This man is naturally the male protagonist in the book, Hou Longtao.
And this woman is Wu Ailin.
In the original novel, the reason why Hou Longtao was able to get the position of investment manager of IIC China was because of Wu Ailin.
Wu Ailin's husband is the general manager of IIC Company.
Hou Longtao and Wu Ailin had a romantic relationship. Because Wu Ailin's scumbag behavior of putting on pants and not recognizing others was not in violation of Wu Ailin's behavior, so Hou Longtao decided to take advantage of Wu Ailin's identity.
So he pretended to be Wu Ailin's cousin, went to Wu Ailin's house, chatted with Wu Ailin's husband, Jackson, an old man in his fifties and sixties, for a while, and successfully exchanged half a million dollars for a promise from Jackson - IIC China Manager position in the investment department.
Originally, Hou Longtao was already happily preparing to return to China.
But suddenly, Wu Ailin told him that his position as manager had been changed to deputy manager.
This was hard for Hou Longtao to accept!
