Chapter 35 Picking
You can't expect a girl who can't even pay for college tuition and has little knowledge to be determined to take debts with her to start a business. Ye Dongqing himself has the confidence to succeed, and others may not think so.
After mentioning it once, I won’t say more. Laura has made a choice and treats Ye Dongqing as a madman.
I just met for a few days, but the relationship was not good enough to make Ye Dongqing forcefully persuade Miss Laura to accept the shares. Moreover, it is better to concentrate the equity of such a financial investment company, otherwise it may be troublesome in the future.
The restaurant owner served the dishes very quickly, so he asked the boss’s wife to bring two small bowls of rice.
Laura has eaten authentic Chinese food for the first time since she was a child. When she saw Ye Dongqing holding a small bowl, picking up chopsticks, and doing it as usual. It was obviously just two small wooden sticks, but it was extremely difficult to use in her hands. It always turned into a crossed "X" shape and could not hold the things at all.
Europeans and Americans do not eat rice at all. There are also various baked rice in Western food, mainly cooking with rice as the basics. However, not many people eat rice, or they do not use rice as the main food.
This is related to historical factors. One area of water and soil nourishes the other people. Just like in Africa, some Southeast Asian countries, people will regard bananas as their staple food. Which food fruit produced locally is the most abundant, and will naturally form the habit of using it as the staple food.
It was really embarrassing to let Laura eat authentic Chinese food. She finally picked up a piece of tofu, and her eyebrows became entangled as she ate it, and she kept inhaling, saying, "It's so spicy!"
"Just eat rice if you are spicy. I have asked the chef to add less chili, otherwise you probably won't be able to accept it."
Ye Dongqing put a truffle mushroom for her, made a piece of chicken breast and put it into a bowl, and continued: "Like the Chinese restaurant chain panda fast food, we Chinese are not used to eating it at all. There is too much sugar and no taste. This is the real Chinese food. How does it taste?"
"Spicy, and a weird taste, lamb soup...wow, it's delicious! What's it here?"
"The guts of the sheep."
“…”
Different eating habits are different. American pigs go into the water, chicken feet, pig trotters, sheep balls, etc., which are usually eaten by almost no one, and are usually thrown away during slaughtering.
Later, a merchant found a way and sold them directly to Asia, exchanged them for real money and silver, thus turning them into treasure.
Ye Dongqing was used to eating these things, but Laura was psychologically burdened. She didn't try to eat internal organs, but just drank some soup, and she praised the taste of the braised little rooster.
There is no problem with the Mercedes-Benz G parked on the street. It is only past six o'clock now, and there are a lot of pedestrians on the road. It is hard to say if it is night. It is only a few ten minutes away from Wall Street, but it is like two worlds. New York has developed for hundreds of years, causing a coexistence of new and old buildings. Some are regarded as protected attractions, and some have become slums. New York in the eyes of the rich and New York in the eyes of the poor.
Three dishes and one soup cost more than fifty dollars in total, which is quite affordable. Before I finished eating, I received a call from an employee of the consulting company, telling me to help contact the two companies and ask him to go back and take a look.
So Ye Dongqing took Laura back to Wall Street, parked the car and walked to YPO consulting company.
The boss of a consulting company named Robertson looked at Ye Dongqing as if he was looking at a sucker. He was willing to bear millions of dollars in debt for a RIA financial license. What is this a sucker?
RIA is difficult to apply for financial companies outside the United States, but on Wall Street, as long as the scale is good and the procedures are complete, almost every company has such a financial license. Considering the bankruptcy ratio of Wall Street companies, especially recently after the collapse of the Internet bubble.
In the past few years, Wall Street companies were keen on investing in IT industry stocks. Many people made money, and many people vomited blood. A large number of fund companies that were originally managed by tens of millions of dollars and hundreds of millions of dollars declared bankruptcy. Isn’t it easy to acquire them?
He was asked to sit down in the office. Mr. Robertson had a smile on his face, asked his assistant to help make two cups of tea, and asked indirectly: "Sir, I think you seem very young, why would you think of starting a company on Wall Street?"
"What else is more tempering than Wall Street? People often tell me that if I want to do business, I should come here to exercise for a while and learn some experience, so I want to start a company, engage in fund business, hedge funds, etc.."
Ye Dongqing said vaguely, New York is quite realistic, Wall Street is more realistic, he doesn't want others to find out his details, otherwise he will probably be looked down upon and the business will not be able to do it.
A little guy came to Wall Street to start a financial company. Mr. Robertson naturally thought that Ye Dongqing's family had some money, and ordinary children would not have such courage. I believe they really wanted to acquire the company instead of coming to enjoy themselves.
He handed over three fax documents that he had not had time to wrap up to Ye Dongqing, and said, "Recently, the fund companies were almost wiped out, and a large group of investors no longer trust them, but these fund managers have been doing well and made a lot of money in the past few years. After all, regardless of the rise and fall, they make money by charging management fees and commissions, which is a no-cost transaction.
Nowadays, traditional funds are not as popular as hedge funds. I recommend that you engage in this field after completing the acquisition. These are the three companies we have found for you. You can take a look first. If you are not satisfied, I can find more. I will definitely help you negotiate a suitable price at that time."
"Well, I know, it's better to have ready-made office space and staff, smart employees who hold Series 3, 6, 7, 67, 65, 66 licenses."
"This is really great. There are two companies in it that meet your requirements. If you can not fire your employees, I believe you can negotiate a more suitable price. There are unemployed people holding these certificates everywhere. Even I hold Series 66. It took me a lot of energy to obtain the certificate, but I didn't use it later."
Mr. Robertson handed a cigar to Ye Dongqing when he spoke. He took it and lit it. It would be no big problem to smoke less.
The overall situation of the industry is not ideal. There are many unemployed employees and many bankrupt companies, which gives Ye Dongqing a lot of room to choose.
In fact, RIA is not a necessary condition. It's just that having an RIA license means that the company has been powerful for a period of time. It will be relatively more complete, rather than a "little pheasant financial management company" with only one or two people. It wants a ready-made platform to save time.
He looked down and looked through it quickly. A data on the information made Ye Dongqing interested and asked: "This Danshui Fund Company has not gone bankrupt yet and is still managing more than $6 million in assets. Why is it going to be sold?"
