Chapter 152 Recruitment (1)

  After the establishment of Tianyu International Capital Management Co., Ltd., the funds raised in the first phase reached 1.2 billion US dollars, of which the largest investor was Skyline International Holdings Co., Ltd., which invested 1 billion US dollars at a time. In addition, Liao Chengde invested 50 million US dollars, an investment company from eastern Guangdong invested 50 million US dollars, and Andrew invested 10 million US dollars. The remaining $90 million was raised from other sources, which, it should be noted, are not open to the public.

  After the establishment of Tianyu International Capital Management Co., Ltd., to Zhong Shi's surprise, the first person to approach him was the private banking department of HSBC. Private banking is a department that manages the wealth of the rich. The direction of investment is not limited to the capital market. As long as it is profitable, it is the target of their attention. Private banking plays a role in wealth management in this process. .

The reason why HSBC's private bank is eyeing him is probably because he learned from the brokerage channel that his income in the crude oil futures market has reached 45% in more than a month, which is enough to satisfy most investors .

  In fact, Zhong Shi used less than 300 million funds, and the actual rate of return exceeded 100%. However, it is difficult for these outsiders to have access to these data.

  Looking at Zhou Yufang in front of him, Zhong Shi couldn't laugh or cry: "What is the reason for Miss Zhou's visit this time?"

"Why, Mr. Zhong doesn't welcome me?" Zhou Yufang graduated from the London School of Economics and Political Science. She majored in economic law. went to their home. Zhong Shi occasionally heard from his mother Liu Lan that Fu Hongzhuang had a very good impression of her. It seems that this woman is still very scheming, but her purpose is too strong. However, Zhong Yi is not too young now. If she can get along with her, she can still do it. Try it first.

  This is a high-end office building selected by Li Mingyang. It is located on the top floor of a 35-story office building in Central. Looking out from here, you can see the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbor in the distance. Coincidentally, the owner of this building turned out to be Huade Real Estate, which means it is also an industry owned by Zhongshi.

   Huade Real Estate’s board of directors, Zhong Shi, has never shown up. Basically, he is willing to replace him to exercise the rights of chairman, but all plans are agreed and authorized by Zhong Shi. These days, the focus of Huade Real Estate has begun to shift to the real estate market in the mainland, frequently acquiring land in Yanjing and the coast east of the sea, preparing to build high-end office buildings.

  The decoration here is ready-made, and you can move in after a little cleaning. Zhong Shi is very satisfied with the location and office environment here. His asset management company has already applied for business in Hong Kong, and as long as the license is obtained, it can conduct investment activities aboveboard.

  Watching the busy workers coming in and out, carrying heavy computers and desks into the house, Zhou Yufang felt a burst of surprise. As far as she knows, computers are far from popularized, and ordinary funds will not be widely used on a large scale. Of course, these things are more commonly used by American counterparts. Maybe the boy in front of him is from there. Learned.

   "Mr. Zhong, I came here on behalf of the private bank to sign the relevant entrusted investment agreement with you." Zhou Yufang straightened her face and said very seriously.

  Zhong Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then looked into the conference room behind her. Sure enough, there was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, who was carefully reading the entrustment agreement word by word. He presumably was a legal consultant or something.

"Okay! Let me briefly introduce to you. We are currently planning five funds here, three of which are mainly stock investment and do not use too high leverage. In addition, there are two hedge funds , one is a global macro strategy, and the other is a commodity fund, and these two funds only accept investment from internal employees." Zhong Shi blinked at Zhou Yufang, and then accused Zhou Yufang, "The following matters will be given to you by Brother Yi Introduction, sorry, I have a meeting."

  Zhong Guan, who had just come out of the conference room, waved to him from Zhong Shi, walked over to Zhou Yufang and continued, "Miss Zhou, let's go to the conference room here to explain in detail..."

  Recruitment work has been going on in an orderly manner. With an annual salary of US$100,000 plus year-end dividends and internal employees buying shares, they have indeed poached many excellent analysts from the branches of financial institutions in Hong Kong during this period. In addition to money, Zhong Shi also deliberately added a condition to the headhunting company: If an analyst wants to set up another company, the company may consider investing part of the funds.

   There is no analyst who does not want to set up his own fund, which is the consensus of almost all analysts. After all, taking salary and dividends is far inferior to operating by yourself, because even a fund with a fund of only 10 million US dollars, if the annual management fee is 1%, it will have a guaranteed income of 100,000 US dollars.

The interviewer today is a white man named Maxim. He is a tall man about 1.85 meters tall. According to the information on his resume, he once worked for a hedge fund in Tokyo and has a considerable share in the Japanese stock market. Rich experience, in addition, he once made a lot of money by shorting the Nikkei index when the Nikkei index turned around, but later the manager had no intention of operating it anymore, and he came to Hong Kong after the fund was dissolved.

   Andrew and Zhong Yi were in charge of the first two rounds of interviews, which tested his trading experience and economics knowledge respectively. I believe that being able to come here already shows his strength.

"Mr. Maxim, if you have a capital of 10 million US dollars now, would you invest in our fund?" Zhong Shi walked in, first looked at Maxim's resume for a while, and then was surprised at Maxim's He raised his first question in his eyes.

   "This?" Maxim was taken aback. He was one of those traders who beat the Japanese consortium in the Nikkei market in Singapore. After receiving a dividend of 10 million US dollars, he left Japan to wander around the world aimlessly, living a life of drunkenness all day long. Life, and soon the money was spent for a small half. After he realized the current situation, he began to look for work again. Japan is naturally the first choice, but the Japanese economy has been sluggish in the past few years, and he is unwilling to start as a trader again, so he came to Hong Kong to try his luck.

When he came here, he found out that this was a newly established capital management company. To his surprise, the management of this company was getting younger and younger. Even in the third round, one came in. As an adult young man, this made him feel very puzzled. But when the person in front of him asked the first question, he understood that the young man in front of him was not simple.

  Moral hazard has always been a difficult problem in management. For example, in finance, a fund manager uses his information advantage in holding positions as a mouse position, which can easily cause investors to suffer losses. There are many ways to solve this situation. The most common one is to bundle the interests of the manager with the interests of the overall fund, so that both parties share the same interests and avoid moral hazard.

This is the underlying meaning of Zhong Shi’s words. Maxim is well aware of this, but if he wants to invest part of the funds in the fund, let alone what the future income will be, just because the other party is so young It's hard to convince.

"Look at the lady outside, she is an employee from HSBC Private Bank, and she is investing in us on behalf of their internal funds. Frankly speaking, our fund does not want to accept too much external funds, and only leaves it to the outside world. The investment quota is up to 100 million US dollars, which also includes the investment quota reserved for internal employees."

"The initial capital scale of the soon-to-be-established Tianyu Japan is US$100 million. It is expected to be jointly managed by three fund managers, and other funds are similar. Only Tianyu Global Macro and Tianyu Bulk Commodities accept internal employee investment. Others are totally unacceptable."

Maxim's face changed for a while, and then he made up his mind: "Mr. Zhong, I have a million dollars of capital here, which are respectively invested in global macro and commodities. I just don't know, the person in charge of these two funds Who is it?" When he heard about global macro and commodities, he knew that these two were hedge funds, and the young man in front of him only accepted investment from internal employees. performance!

   "Who is in charge? Of course it's me!" Zhong Shi laughed, and told the basic situation of the two funds without hesitation.

  After hearing Zhong Shi admit that he would personally take charge of the two funds, Maxim exclaimed in surprise, but obviously he couldn't take back what he said, and he could only hope that he was not mistaken.

At this moment, the door outside the meeting room was knocked, and then Andrew walked in, looked at Maxim who was still in a daze, Zhong Shi understood, and said: "This Mr. Maxim is already a member of our company , if you have anything to say, just say it!"

"The brokerage channel has been set up. There are exchanges such as LME, NYMEX, CME, SIMEX, and IPE. In addition to these, I have also opened an account in the Japanese capital market at Nomura Securities. The market in other countries is mainly HSBC, and there are also exchanges. Some are Standard Chartered brokerage firms, and there are several foreign exchange firms." Andrew glanced at Maxim, and then explained the account opening situation, and then handed over a piece of paper with the information and passwords of these accounts .

Zhong Shi just glanced at it slightly, and then handed the paper back: "Send these things to the backstage, and ask Mike to set up a permission for everyone. Each fund can only use the brokerage channel of stocks and related indexes." After a pause, he continued, "The funds of my two funds can go through all channels."

  Maxim, who has been silent by the side, has been stunned. What kind of company is this? It has opened the brokerage channels of almost all major exchanges. Could it be that he wants to do all the financial products?

   Thank you very much for making me think, feixingwang’s tip!
