Jing Gao went to Fudan's School of Economics building on time at about two o'clock in the afternoon to meet with Professor Wei, the deputy dean of the School of Economics. At the same time, Professor Wei was also invited to serve as a strategic committee advisor of Phoenix Fund.
Professor Wei's graduate student Luo Zhongjun was waiting for Jing Gao downstairs and led him to Professor Wei's office.
There are piles of books everywhere in the office. Full of academic atmosphere. Professor Wei Shenliang was writing at his desk. When he saw Jing Gao come in, he smiled and said, "Mr. Jing, wait for me for a moment." He continued writing.
Luo Zhongjun made two cups of tea and left. Jing Gao handed him the tea he had brought.
Professor Wei was sixty-two years old, with a round face, kind eyes, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. After finishing writing a paragraph of the manuscript, he walked out of the desk and sat on the sofa by the window with Jing Gao. "As people get older, their memory is not good. It's easy to forget when your train of thought is interrupted. Please forgive me, Mr. Jing."
Jing Gao said hurriedly: "You're welcome."
Professor Wei invited Jing Gao to drink tea and started chatting with a smile, "I heard Xiao Luo convey the meaning of your Phoenix Fund. Didn't you read a joke on the Internet? The reason why China's economy can rise is that the country's economic policy has always been Don’t listen to economists.”
Jing Gao laughed and said: "Those who advocate **** and transaction costs are pseudo-experts. You are a real expert."
This paragraph on the internet is actually a bit of a joke. If economic policies are not formulated by economists, then who should? Go and count every Beidaihe Economic Conference. Among the people who formulate the five-year development plan, how many people are engaged in economics?
The main reason is that there are too many "strategies" in China who give voice to interest groups. Moreover, these "bricks" are still very popular in the public opinion field.
Professor Ai once cursed some of them as bastards. A professor from Peking University said: To this day, there are still poor children who cannot afford to go to college because the tuition fees are too low.
This is the bastard, son of a bitch! I feel that after reading a few books, I can confuse right and wrong, call a deer a horse, and challenge people's common sense. Don’t you just want to privatize education? Good to make a lot of money.
Similar remarks include: Poor people cannot afford housing because housing prices are too low. You all know who said that, right? Chi Guoguo speaks for the interests of real estate developers!
A dean of Peking University named Zhang completely ignored the facts and advocated comprehensive Westernization. What fact? Isn’t Russia in ****? Is their economy in good shape? There are so many countries in the EU, are their economies doing well?
This person later dismissed the get out of class.
However, the voices of professors who are truly academics or think tanks who do not hold the title of economist have not been heard. This is in line with China's consistent characteristics for five thousand years. Those who are good at fighting have no illustrious reputation.
People who really do things often don’t have a good reputation.
Professor Wei smiled and waved his hand, "I am not an economist. We now all call ourselves scholars and ordinary investigators who study economics."
This is obviously a joke. Jing Gao laughed.
Professor Wei took a sip of tea and said: "Is this strategy committee of yours imitating the Samsung Consortium's 'Future Strategy Office' or Mitsui & Co.'s Strategic Research Institute? If it is following Samsung's path, then don't look for scholars to join. Every year in Just invite a group of scholars within the group to give reports.
If you go the Mitsui & Co. route, I can't agree to it yet. After you retire, you can make a name for yourself. "
Jing Gao was completely stunned. He actually wanted to set up a think tank, but how did he know the difference between the strategic research laboratories established by the Samsung Consortium and the Mitsui Consortium?
Professor Wei reacted and said with a smile: "I said it right. It's like this. The 'Future Strategy Office' of Samsung Consortium is similar to the staff department of its consortium. It not only formulates future development strategies, but also manages personnel, auditing, Group restructuring, mergers and acquisitions.
The Strategic Research Institute of Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is the think tank they maintain. This think tank not only conducts research on economic and industrial issues, but also conducts policy and intelligence analysis. Provide intellectual support to the Mitsui Foundation. "
Idaka understood and said: "My original intention was to build a company like Mitsui & Co. But from what you said, I am afraid that what I urgently need now is a general staff like the Samsung Consortium."
His companies are relatively scattered. In fact, the transfer of internal personnel has not yet become institutionalized. As soon as he heard about the functions of Samsung's "Future Strategy Room", he immediately realized that he urgently needed such an organization and department to help him control the overall situation.
Phoenix Fund still focuses on venture capital and asset management. This institutional industry cannot be handled by Zhongrun Company. This company is dedicated to serving him. His properties and cars are all listed in this company.
Therefore, Guan Guan should expand his team of secretaries and become his cabinet and chancellery.
Professor Wei suggested: “Then focus on actual needs.”
Jing Gao said smoothly: "Okay. Professor Wei, I also have something to ask you. In the recent US election, Trump vs. Clinton, who will win? Last week there was A friend came to Shanghai, had dinner together, and even talked about this topic. There seemed to be different opinions."
He was talking about Guo Lingyu. Guo Lingyu settled on Hong Kong Island and could easily receive information from the outside world. Chat with him about hot world political and economic topics.
Professor Wei sat back and said with a smile: "This is not an economics topic. This needs to be answered by scholars who specialize in American issues. Professor Shen from Fudan School of International Relations asserted in class in April this year that Trump The general meeting will win. I will ask Xiao Luo to send you the video of his class later."
"OK."
…
…
After chatting with Professor Wei for an hour, Jing Gao gained a lot and left with satisfaction.
Luo Zhongjun escorted Jing Gao downstairs, and happened to meet a few college students walking upstairs, talking and laughing, what a youthful time! Luo Zhongjun said: "Mr. Jing, Teacher Shen's courseware video is a bit large. I'll send it to your email."
"Okay." Jing Gao agreed. I was thinking about setting up a "staff department".
Luo Zhongjun stopped talking. He was somewhat unsure of his relationship with Qiao Shuang. His master's thesis has been approved and will be published soon. You can start looking for a job in Shanghai right away. Autumn recruitment is about to begin.
Qiao Shuang's annual salary is 5 million, plus dividends from Phoenix Fund and Uber. It’s normal to earn over 10 million a year. If he gets married, he will definitely be able to enjoy his soft life. Moreover, there is a high probability that it cannot be changed in this life. He knew that Qiao Shuang had Mr. Jing's trust deeply.
Jing Gao didn't know what Luo Zhongjun was thinking. After saying goodbye, he went directly to Gubei No. 1 by car.
In a hotel not far from Gubei No. 1, Jing Gao sorted out his thoughts, wrote an email using the Apple notebook Fu Ye brought with him, and sent it to Guan Yujia. Let her transfer and recruit, and use the secretarial team as the backbone to form the "Taichu Strategy Research Laboratory".
Copied to Qiao Shuang, Cao Danqing, Xie Wangzhen, Wu Jingshu, and An Zhiwen.
This is the first step in integrating his businesses into a consortium. Of course, the heads of the major companies below need to know.
After sending the email, Jing Gao checked the time, approved the English teaching plan he sent to Zhang Li, and asked Fu Ye to arrange for her to join the job. Make another call to Cheng Yanxi, take a car to Gubei No. 1, and go straight to the door of Cheng's villa.
Cheng Yanxi and Cheng's father, Cheng Herong, were waiting at the door to greet them. Cheng Herong, dressed in a suit, took a few steps forward and said, "Mr. Jing, welcome, welcome."
Jing Gao smiled and shook hands with him and said, "Mr. Cheng, you are very polite. It is a great honor to be a guest at your home." After saying that, he asked Fu Ye to bring the two bottles of red wine he had brought. It’s not expensive either. A bottle of red wine produced by Chateau Latour in Bordeaux costs 75,000 euros in China.
Xi Siyan's family is engaged in real estate, and its valuation is 80 billion. Rich wealth. Cheng Yanxi's family also has tens of billions of assets.
Cheng Herong took the red wine from Jing Gao and handed it to his son. After taking him to say hello to Jing Gao, he said: "Mr. Jing, please!"
"please."
Walking into the luxurious living room, Li Herong's wife Fan Ni and daughter Cheng Zhao were waiting, "Mr. Jing, hello." Another introduction and greetings were given.
Cheng Yanxi was thirty years old and already married, but his relationship with his wife was not good, so his wife did not appear at this meal.
"You guys chat. I'll go take a look in the kitchen." Fan Ni greeted her and went to the kitchen with a smile. The nanny will help prepare tonight's dishes.
Jing Gao sat down amidst the greetings, sitting on the coffee table in the living room, sipping tea, the fragrance overflowed, and praised: "Mr. Cheng, this is such a good tea."
Cheng Herong, who was in his fifties, said with a smile: "Mr. Ren likes to drink tea, and I often buy some. If Mr. Jing likes it, I will ask you to go to the next tea auction."
Jing Gao said happily: "Okay." As he said that, he felt his phone vibrate. It was an email reply from Guan Yujia and others. He did not read it, but asked: "Cheng Yanxi, is there wifi? I will download a video file." .”
Cheng Yanxi sat on the sofa opposite Jing Gao and quickly smiled: "Yes. Yes. Mr. Jing, I'll report it to you."
Speaking of which, his "experience" during this period was really a bit dreamy. In July, he, Xi Siyan and several other friends accompanied Ren Jiahui to Paris, France to relax for a few days, and met Jing Gao by chance in Paris.
Then, because of this relationship, after Phoenix Fund acquired Uber (China), his father and several uncles decided to invest in Uber. He was ordered to go to the capital to discuss the matter with Jing Gao. As a result, when he was lingering in the capital, he learned from Ren Jiahui that Mr. Ren was very optimistic about Jing Gao. He immediately called back to Shanghai to increase the investment capital to US$400 million.
It was valued at $12 billion at the time. Uber is now valued at $15 billion. When Uber, which has merged with Didi, goes public in the United States in the future, its valuation is estimated to be US$50 billion, right? This investment will more than quadruple!
As a result, his father allowed him to divorce and remarry. He will marry the girl he likes. Moreover, other uncles' evaluation of him has risen even further. He also got the management rights of the financial investment department of Ronghe Group! The spring breeze is proud.
And it all started with getting to know Mr. Jing.
Jing Gao connected to the wifi, clicked on the email to download, and said to Cheng Herong: "In the afternoon I visited Professor Wei from the School of Economics at Fudan University. I asked him about the US election. He recommended that I watch the video of Professor Shen from the School of International Relations. "
Cheng Herong became more interested in talking and said curiously: "Oh? Mr. Jing, who do you like?" Magic City is an international metropolis. It is impossible for him to do business here and not pay attention to current affairs. Moreover, such international hot topics have always affected business.
Jing Gao smiled and said: "The conclusion is that Trump wins. I haven't read the argument yet."
While chatting here, Fan Ni came out to say hello, "It's time to eat."
