Chapter 438: Bet with Song Wan
Because of Luo Yang's request, the decoration speed of Lingshi Palace Group's headquarters has been accelerated a lot.
According to the current progress, we can move in and start working in early December.
The temporary headquarters is approximately 800 square meters, which is based on the size of the current borrowed office area.
This area is not large compared to the size of the group, but it is sufficient.
It’s not that Luo Yang is reluctant to spend money.
The main consideration is that we may have our own headquarters building next year or the year after.
It doesn't matter if I try to be a little more grandiose when the time comes.
"I won't go to the site to see you. Just keep an eye on the progress."
After listening to Yu Haiping's report on the progress of the headquarters renovation, Luo Yang said there was no need to go for inspection.
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it."
Yu Haiping nodded and took note, then continued, "Last time you asked me to recruit a secretary with a finance major. We already have a candidate. Should we notify him to come for an interview in the morning, or in the afternoon?"
"Do you have any other plans in the morning?"
"Mr. Song from Gray Rhino has an appointment at 10:30 to report to you on investment work."
Yu Haiping flipped through the notebook in his hand and replied, "Between 2pm and 3pm, you have an appointment with Mr. Cai Fujun to discuss something, and Mr. Tan Ying from Guobao Films will be there after 3:30pm."
Luo Yang looked at his watch. It was not yet nine o'clock.
"Ask the HR department to make an appointment. If you can make it before 10 o'clock, we'll schedule it in the morning. If you can't make it, we'll schedule it after 1:30 in the afternoon!"
"Okay, I'll notify HR as soon as I get out."
After Yu Haiping replied, he asked, "Boss, do you have any other instructions?"
"That's it for now. I'll call you if there's anything else."
Luo Yang still had some documents to review. As soon as he entered the company today, his secretary Lin Yuxi brought in a large stack of documents.
This secretary is quite hot-tempered, she dares to push the boss.
Shanghai is too big, and many workers’ commuting time is over an hour.
As expected, when the HR department sent my resume, they reported that the interview time was scheduled for the afternoon.
"Chairman, Mr. Song from Gray Rhino has arrived."
Just after ten o'clock, Lin Yuxi knocked on the door and came in to report.
"Well, wait until I finish reviewing the last document."
Luo Yang lowered his head and said, "When you go out later, call Mr. Song in."
"Finally I see you have a boss!"
When Song Wan was led into the office, she happened to see Luo Yang stretching and teased him in a familiar manner.
"I'm still working for you guys?"
Luo Yang asked the administrative secretary to make tea and gestured to Song Wan to sit down.
"The chairman's words are very insightful and have a very high level of vision!"
Song Wan sat down opposite him with a smile on her face: "It doesn't sound like something that would come from the mouth of an evil capitalist."
“When assets exceed a billion and employees exceed a thousand, the wealth no longer belongs entirely to you.”
Luo Yang has been busy since 8:30 and finally has time to light a cigarette.
"Tell me, you specially made an appointment with me on Monday morning. What good news is this?"
"Isn't it because of your phone call last week?"
Song Wan was full of resentment and said, "I was originally on vacation in Sanya, but now I have to work overtime on the weekend. I am the worker!"
“Chinese stocks?”
As soon as she said this, Luo Yang knew what was going on.
"It seems the chairman knows!"
Song Wan curled her lips and said, "In order to check the news from Migu, I have to work day and night. Boss Luo, a woman of my age still has to stay up late for work."
Ignoring the complaints, Luo Yang asked with a smile: "How about it, is there any chance?"
"Where's the money?"
Song Wan didn't even ask if there was a chance, she just stretched out her hand towards Luo Yang: "Gray Rhino only has over 20 million in its account right now, this amount of money is out of reach even if there is a chance!"
"It's not urgent."
Luo Yang had his own ideas. He waved his hand and said, "Recently, I have been thinking about the issue of the group headquarters' revenue. It just so happens that you asked me to discuss something this morning. Let's talk about how to solve this problem together."
"The profits of the group headquarters?"
The current Lingshi Palace Group headquarters only has simple functional departments and no profit-making projects under its direct management.
All expenses can only be drawn from the holding subsidiaries below.
"Are you going to set up an investment department directly at the group level?"
Song Wan showed a surprised expression on her face: "Then the existence of the gray rhinoceros is overlapping, isn't it?"
"One is venture capital, which focuses on projects and long-term investment returns, and the other is financial investment, which focuses on short-term profits. How can the two functions overlap?"
"Sigh~~~"
Hearing this, Song Wan was even more shocked.
Is this a financial game?
"Chairman, I have to remind you."
Song Wan said with a serious expression: "Whether it is domestic or foreign, the water here is too deep. Even professional financial investment institutions may not be able to handle it. Are you sure you want to engage in this business line?"
"I know the water here is very deep and it's easy to drown if you're not careful."
Luo Yang also put away his smile and said seriously: "But I had a conversation with my elders at home some time ago, which changed some of my ideas." "Elders at home?"
Song Wan was silent for a moment: "What kind of idea?"
"The future Lingshi Palace Group will definitely be larger than the current six subsidiaries (with an additional information consulting company), so it will need its own financing channels!"
After planning his words, Luo Yang said, "My idea is to set up an investment department at the group headquarters, or a wholly-owned subsidiary. The person in charge will be the group's vice president, specializing in project venture capital, while Gray Rhino will change its function and enter the field of financial investment."
Song Wan immediately understood what Luo Yang meant.
According to Luo Yang's idea, the group headquarters will make project investments. Some of the successful investment projects can be further incubated, while others can be packaged and sold to generate profits.
Gray Rhino Capital engages in financial investment and enters the stock, securities and futures markets. In addition, it can also set up a fund for a new project of the group, raise funds from the society and open up financing channels.
This is the correct way to open it!
Song Wan looked at Luo Yang with a complicated expression.
It’s not because it involves changes in Gray Rhino Capital, but because Luo Yang mentioned his family.
In her opinion, the elder who could give Luo Yang such an idea must not be a simple person. This also means that Luo Yang is probably not a grassroots person and has a family behind him.
Invisible imagination is the most deadly.
Just
Song Wan smiled and said to Luo Yang: "Then how does the chairman plan to arrange me?"
Once this idea is changed, Gray Rhino Capital will no longer be responsible for project investment, and Song Wan's current position will become somewhat awkward.
She is also not good at financial investment.
"Come to the group and help me!"
Luo Yang said sincerely: "You will be the deputy general manager of the group and be in charge of investment. Gray Rhino will help you retain 5% of the shares. Please help me find a group of financial professionals to set up the framework."
The position of Vice President of Lingshi Palace Group is vacant.
Looking at the young and handsome Luo Yang in front of her, even Song Wan felt her heart beating fast.
If she were ten years younger, even if she was only five years younger, she would compete with the fiancée that Luo Yang mentioned!
"Okay, I promise you!"
Song Wan stretched out her hand: "But let me make it clear in advance, I won't be working in the group for long. After all, my family still has businesses. When needed, I will definitely go back!"
"Three years or five years?"
“Maybe three years, maybe five years!”
"Mr. Song, you own 5% of Kunpeng Technology and 5% of Gray Rhino Capital. As the company develops, the equity incentives for senior executives will definitely not be reduced."
Luo Yang did not rush to extend his hand to accept the invitation, but instead looked at Song Wan with a smile.
After a moment of silence, he spoke with a shocking statement: "Let me make a hypothesis. Three to five years from now, if you find that the wealth you have in the Lingshi Palace Group exceeds the family wealth, will you return to inherit the family business?"
This is really no joke.
If Kunpeng Technology can take the lead, its market valuation will not be less than 150 to 200 billion yuan in five years.
With Luo Yang's foresight and guidance, Gray Rhino Capital will be able to reach a scale of tens of billions of yuan in five years.
Combined with other equity incentives, it would not be difficult for Song Wan to own equity assets worth more than 1 billion Euros.
On the contrary, it is impossible for her to inherit the assets of Song Wan's family alone. As a daughter, it would be good enough for her to get 15%.
Song Wan: “.”
For a moment, she was a little dazed.
I don’t know if it was because Luo Yang was too confident or she hesitated, but she actually withdrew her hand.
"Okay, since the chairman is so confident, let's make a small bet!"
Song Wan looked at Luo Yang and said, "If it is really as you expected, then I will consider staying in Lingshi Palace."
"A word is settled!"
This time it was Luo Yang's turn to stretch out his hand and shake hands with Song Wan.
After making this bet, Song Wan began to report on recent investment investigations.
She has not rested since her last trip to the capital. With the help of her family's connections, she has inspected many projects and identified several projects with investment intentions as observation targets.
The two chatted until about half past eleven.
During the lunch break, Luo Yang had time to look through the resumes of two people who were interviewing for the secretary position.
Since the assistant hired Yu Haiping, the human resources department has also learned to please people. There are two candidates, one man and one woman.
The man is called Tian Jie, from Jiangsu Province. He graduated from Jiaotong University with a bachelor's degree in finance. He has half a year of internship experience in a fund company and is currently an intern employee of a fund company.
The woman’s name is Chu Jing. She is from Heilongjiang Province and a student at Fudan University. She majors in finance and also has a bachelor’s degree.
Her resume is quite interesting. Apart from the half-year internship at a securities company, she actually changed four companies in the remaining one year.
The frequency of job hopping is comparable to that of a salesperson.
The interview in the afternoon went a bit off track for Luo Yang.
Because he didn't understand finance, he didn't know where to start asking many questions. Fortunately, the school helped him screen. Whether it was Jiaotong University or Fudan University, the brands were trustworthy.
For Tian Jie, his question was simple: he was already working in a fund company, so why did he want to apply for a secretary position?
The salary packages offered by human resources are not higher than those offered by fund companies, and bonuses and the like are even less comparable.
Tian Jie's answer was a bit vague.
On the contrary, Chu Jing, as expected of a girl from Northeast China, answered the question about her frequent job hopping very straightforwardly.
"I'm being targeted by an old man. I can't live in peace even if I change companies. Now I feel that unless I leave the financial circle, I have no choice but to give in."
She said bluntly: "I won't give up. I want to try a few more companies. His hands are really so long. If it doesn't work, I will go back and surrender!"
Luo Yang: “.”
There are strange things everywhere, will it come to my house this year?
