Rebirth of the investment era

Arrive at the place agreed upon with Mr. Qian. deer

Su Yu saw that this was a manor with an elegant environment, with beautiful mountains and rivers, birds singing and flowers fragrant, quiet and peaceful, as if he was really in nature.

"Mr. Su, this way..." the waiter leading the way kept reminding Su Yu as he strolled.

Su Yu nodded slightly, and then followed the waiter for about seven or eight minutes before arriving at a pavilion dug out by the lake in the manor. Mr. Qian, who had asked him to meet him, was sitting leisurely in the pavilion fishing. Next to the president, there were several assistants and bodyguards accompanying him.

"Mr. Qian is so excited!" Su Yu walked closer and said with a smile.

When Mr. Qian saw Su Yu arriving, he glanced at Delina behind Su Yu, and then asked Su Yu to sit down on the chair in the pavilion. He laughed and said, "This is my only hobby. The weather is nice today." , wouldn’t it be nice to go out fishing and get close to nature?”

"That's pretty good!" Su Yu looked around the surroundings and nodded slightly.

"Isn't the environment of this manor good?" Seeing Su Yu's gaze, Mr. Qian said with a smile, "This area used to be just a barren mountain. Later, my friend bought this area and it took a lot of effort to develop it. Now look at it Ah... I really can’t see any trace of the past."

"Mr. Qian's friend is in real estate development?" Su Yu asked casually.

Mr. Qian smiled and responded: "No, my friend is in the tourism industry. If Mr. Su is interested, I will introduce you to him next time. Oh... Xiao Zhou, ask Manager Yang to apply for an internal membership card for Mr. Su. , tell Manager Yang that when Mr. Su comes over from now on, all expenses will be recorded on my head."

The assistant, whom Mr. Qian called "Xiao Zhou," responded hurriedly, then turned and left.

"I'm not interested in fishing." Su Yu sat on a soft chair in the pavilion, staring at the calm lake not far away, "I'm afraid Mr. Qian's membership card will be wasted."

"It's not just about fishing here!" Mr. Qian responded with a smile, "You just said it, the environment is good, right? Come over and have a sit in your spare time, or stay for a day or two, etc., you will feel better Of course there are a lot of things... there are no fun things that you young people like here."

"I really don't have such an elegant mood as Mr. Qian." Su Yu said, "Besides, I really didn't realize that Mr. Qian is such an elegant person."

"Haha..." Mr. Qian laughed loudly, "It seems that Mr. Su still doesn't know me well enough!"

Su Yu smiled and nodded: "That's right, so... I don't know. When Mr. Qian invites me here today, does he treat me as a fish or as bait?"

"It's not that complicated." Mr. Qian said, "I really asked Mr. Su to go fishing."

"Really?" Su Yu asked with a smile.

"Really!" Mr. Qian responded.

"That's okay." Su Yu nodded and said with a smile, "Since Mr. Qian has nothing to do, I'll leave first. There's still someone waiting at the Monetary Authority."

"Uh..." Mr. Qian choked at Su Yu's words, then poured a cup of tea for Su Yu with a smile, and said, "It's not that there's nothing wrong. I asked Mr. Su to go fishing with you. It's a fact, and it's also true. I’d like to know your views on the recent market trends, and also… I’d like to introduce a new friend to you.”

"New friends?" Su Yu looked around, obviously confused. deer

"This friend will be here soon." Seeing Su Yu's confused look, Mr. Qian responded immediately.

Then, after about five or six minutes of simple chat between the two, the manor's waiter led another middle-aged man over.

It's just...something beyond Su Yu's expectations.

The middle-aged man brought over by the manor's waiter turned out to be a tall foreign man.

"Hi, Mr. Qian." The foreign man looked very enthusiastic when he saw Mr. Qian. He walked up and started to say hello. To Su Yu's surprise, the other man actually spoke Chinese fluently.

"Hello, Mr. Laurent, we meet again." Seeing the middle-aged foreign man approaching, Mr. Qian hurriedly shook his hand, turned to introduce him, "This is 'Yu Hang' Mr. Su, the investment manager, is also the friend I mentioned to you before."

"Mr. Su, hello!" During Mr. Qian's introduction, Laurent quickly greeted Su Yu without waiting for Su Yu's response, "We meet again!"

"Have we... met?" Su Yu couldn't help asking when he saw that there was something wrong in Laurent's words.

Laurent shook Su Yu's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Su must have forgotten that we had met at the Magic City Global Financial Summit at the beginning of this year. At that time, our STG investment institution wanted to work with Mr. Su. We wanted to cooperate, but it’s a pity that Mr. Su didn’t pay attention to it at the time.”

"Magic City Global Financial Summit?" Su Yu heard Laurent mention the summit at the beginning of the year, stared at his face, thought carefully for a while, and then had some vague impressions, and responded a little apologetically, "It seems like it's really I'm really sorry that this happened, Mr. Laurent, I was too busy to greet you."

"It doesn't matter." Laurent said with a smile, "From the first time I met Mr. Su at the Magic City Global Financial Summit at the beginning of the year, I admired Mr. Su very much. I had a premonition that we would meet again in the future. , I didn’t expect...my hunch would come true so quickly.”

"Haha...it turns out that you two have known each other for a long time." During the exchange between Laurent and Su Yu, Mr. Qian laughed and said, "Since we all know each other, it saves me the trouble of introducing them."

Laurent said with a smile: "Mr. Su's speech at the Magic City Global Financial Summit shocked the world. It's hard for me not to recognize him. In my opinion, there is no one in the entire Chinese financial community who has a better market vision than Mr. Su." He is a more unique and powerful operator of asset management institutions."

"Haha..." Su Yu chuckled, "I really don't dare to wear Mr. Laurent's tall hat!"

After the three people exchanged simple greetings, they chatted about the economic situation and financial market trends at home and abroad. However, whether it was Mr. Qian or Mr. Blanche Laurent, the China Investment President of STG Investment Institution, During the conversation, no one mentioned what Su Yu wanted to hear, let alone the specific purpose of inviting him here.

Until the time approaches noon.

Under Mr. Qian's arrangement, the three of them came to a unique elegant room in the manor and arranged lunch. After three drinks, Mr. Qian officially cut the topic to the topic and said to Su Yu with a smile: "I and I I met Mr. Laurent in Hong Kong City, and we must have known each other for several years. Not long ago, I went to Hong Kong City for business and talked about the domestic financial trading market. Mr. Laurent expressed great interest and felt that Our domestic financial trading market is full of gold, so... Mr. Laurent wants to increase investment in the domestic financial trading market."

"And when it comes to the investment capabilities of the domestic financial trading market..."

Mr. Qian smiled and praised: "Of course, no one I know or know can compare to you, Mr. Su, so... I want to introduce you to each other, maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate. "

"Mr. Su..." Under Mr. Qian's explanation, Blanche Laurent immediately continued what Mr. Qian said, "We at STG Investment Institution sincerely want to talk to you, Mr. Su, or you, Yuhang Invest 'cooperatively."

"What kind of cooperation method?" Su Yu asked with a smile. deer

He didn't know much about STG, a foreign investment institution, so he didn't know the other party's specific intentions.

Blanche Laurent pondered for a moment and said: "I heard that your company, 'Yuhang Investment', has been experiencing a cash flow shortage recently, and has been actively seeking loans from Huashang Bank. I wonder...has Mr. Su done anything like this?" What are your thoughts on equity financing of Yuhang Investment? We at STG are very optimistic about the future development of Yuhang Investment. If Mr. Su has the intention in this regard, our institution can provide quite adequate and generous financing conditions."

"Sorry, Mr. Laurent." Su Yu refused without hesitation after the other party finished speaking, "We at 'Yuhang Investment' do not have any ideas for equity financing at the moment."

"That's such a pity!" Blanche Laurent sighed softly, paused for a while, and then said, "I wonder if Mr. Su is interested in the agency fund management business? Although our STG investment institution wants to increase Regarding the intensity of investment in the domestic financial trading market, due to obstacles in the entry and exit of funds and concerns about a lack of understanding of the domestic financial trading market, investment plans are always bumpy and progress is not smooth."

"So, we were thinking..."

"Can we directly cooperate with Mr. Su and your 'Yuhang Investment', and let you help us manage the corresponding investment funds on our behalf?"

"After all, with your institution helping to manage it, we can save corresponding operating costs, and at the same time, we can also directly use your institution's investment and research capabilities to avoid our lack of investment and research capabilities in your domestic financial trading market, thus affecting the final outcome. performance."

"And I know... your institution has already developed business in this area."

"Mr. Laurent's information channels and market intelligence capabilities are really amazing." Su Yu heard the other party's words and clearly knew that the other party was prepared. He smiled and said, "The fund manages the business on our behalf. Our organization is currently in In this regard, it is only in the stage of trial operation and preliminary development. We do not have the specific relevant business supporting personnel and business operation team, so I am afraid it will be difficult to undertake your STG’s related entrusted asset management business.”

"at the same time……"

Su Yu paused and then said: "Since Mr. Laurent has such a broad network of contacts, information channels and market intelligence collection capabilities, he should know that the 'Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect' plan is already in the development stage. As long as 'Shanghai If Hong Kong Stock Connect is fully opened, there will be no inconvenience for domestic and foreign funds to enter and exit, or even restrictions on domestic investment by foreign asset management institutions."

"Although there are rumors about the 'Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect' plan, we don't know when it will be released." Blanche Laurent said, "In fact, President Su does not need to reject us so completely. In my opinion, The cooperation I mentioned is actually a win-win situation for both us, STG, and you, Yuhang Investment. Of course... If Mr. Su and you, 'Yuhang Investment', will be able to If you have the idea of ​​establishing a main fund product, then our ideal method is to directly invest in the fund products you run, but... I heard from Mr. Qian that your company has no idea of ​​developing new fund products recently, so I proposed it. A compromise investment approach.”

"Mr. Su, Mr. Laurent is indeed here with sincerity." Mr. Qian helped at the right time, "Why don't you... first listen to the specific conditions they can offer?"

Su Yu heard Mr. Qian's words and thought about it for a while. He thought that since the company had planned to take over the fund custody business of state-owned institutions, it was also preparing to vigorously develop business in this direction, further establish a trading team, and improve the company. The scale of asset management and its influence in the domestic asset management industry, then, for other fund custody businesses, it is not much more. And with the expansion of asset management scale, in fact, labor costs and various operating costs, on the contrary, are Decreasing at the margin. deer

So, he couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "Since Mr. Qian said so, then Mr. Laurent, please talk about your so-called 'sincerity'! In fact... as long as it is a win-win cooperation, we at 'Yuhang Investment' don't Reason for rejection.”

"Okay!" Seeing Su Yu relent, Blanche Laurent hurriedly stated the corresponding conditions with a smile.

After Su Yu heard this, he responded with a smile: "Five billion funds, 10% annualized net profit performance requirements, to be honest... Mr. Laurent's investment requirements are not low!"

"Compared to other asset management institutions, this requirement may not be low, but for you, Mr. Su... it is not much of a requirement." Blanche Laurent said, "With the several main forces you manage, Compared with fund performance, this net profit performance condition should be just a starting condition."

"The financial trading market is very uncertain, so I dare not say that." Su Yu smiled and responded.

"I believe Su can always do it." Blanche Laurent said, "As long as the annualized net profit performance requirements can meet the standards, we can make appropriate adjustments in terms of other excess profit sharing conditions and fund management fees. Give profit."

"Since Mr. Laurent is so optimistic about the development of our domestic financial market, why not set up an asset management company in our mainland and operate this product himself?" Su Yu still had a lot of questions about this, "I was thinking... …The reason why Mr. Laurent chose us is not just because of our institution’s investment research capabilities and investment capabilities in the domestic financial trading market, right?”

"I have just said the specific reasons." Blanche Laurent responded, "I also hope that Mr. Su can believe me. We at STG are indeed sincere and want to cooperate with Mr. Su and your Yuhang Investment 'Cooperative, and as I said, such cooperation is essentially a win-win situation for everyone."
