Chapter 899: Take the General Again (Part 1)
In the early stage of the construction of Guanghui Investment Finance Department, there were only a few employees, and now there are more than 200 employees in many countries around the world.
It seems that the number of more than 200 people is nothing. When the number of employees in various enterprises of Guanghui Group has exceeded 50,000 and continues to make rapid progress, two hundred people do not speak or show their colors in the group.
However, considering that these more than 200 employees are all graduated from world-renowned universities, with a lot of doctoral and master's degrees, the most important thing is that they also have a large amount of cash, and this influence is actually very considerable.
"Old Guan, what did you do last time to set up a separate investment fund company? How did you progress?" After talking to Guan Weidong about the recent investment direction of Guanghui Investment Finance Department, Jiang Hui began to discuss with Guan Weidong about establishing a special investment fund.
As an investment company, Guanghui Investment is not only running venture capital businesses, but also launching various acquisition businesses, and also involving financial businesses. It can be said that it makes money for whatever it takes, but overall it still seems a little messy.
So a few months ago, Jiang Hui was considering whether it was necessary to set up a special investment fund company.
Investment funds originated in the UK, but were popular in the United States. After World War I, the United States replaced Britain as the new hegemon of the world economy, and jumped from an importer of capital to a major capital exporter. With the sharp growth of the US economy, increasingly complex economic activities made it increasingly difficult for some investors to judge economic trends. In order to effectively promote foreign trade and foreign investment, the United States began to introduce an investment trust fund system.
In 1926, the Massachusetts Financial Services Company in Boston established the "Massachusetts Investment Trust" and became the first mutual fund in the United States to have a modern look. In the following years, the fund experienced its first glorious period in the United States.
By the end of the 20s, the total assets of all closed-end funds had reached US$2.8 billion, and the total assets of open funds were only US$140 million. However, the latter's growth rate was higher than that of closed-end funds in terms of quantity and total assets. In the 20s, the total assets increased by more than 20% each year, and the growth rate in 1927 was even more than 10%.
After various events such as the stock market crash in 1929, investment funds' exhibitions in the United States also encountered a low point.
However, until now, investment funds have become popular all over the world. One quarter of the households in the United States invest in investment funds (called mutual funds in the United States). Funds have become the second largest financial industry after commercial banks and play the leading role in the stock market.
Entering the 1990s, 8o% of the newly invested funds in the stock market in the United States came from mutual funds. In 1993, individual investment in the United States accounted for only 2o% of the stock market value, while mutual funds had exceeded 5o%.
Although Jiang Hui hopes that Guanghui Group is a company dominated by industry, the Internet and finance will be the fastest-money industry in the next ten years. Jiang Hui is really reluctant to see the big money lost from his eyes.
"Mr. Jiang, I'm just about to report to you. All the company's registration-related matters have been done. Early personnel mainly flowed from Guanghui Investment Finance, and then combined with the company's own recruitment, and slowly developed for a while."
"Have you looked for the general manager of the investment fund?"
"I have already had a preliminary goal. Yesterday I received a resume recommended by the headhunter. I think it is quite suitable for our needs and am preparing to arrange a phone interview tomorrow."
"Oh, what's the situation with the person recommended by the headhunter?" It can simply arouse Guan Weidong's strong interest from the headhunter recommendation, and create the feeling that this is the person our company needs. Jiang Hui is definitely not an ordinary person. In addition, such an investment fund will always have billions and tens of billions of funds in the future. Jiang Hui is also very concerned about it.
"Mr. Jiang, this person is still your fellow villager."
"Is that true? Let's listen. If it's really appropriate, I'll go and meet this character together whenever I'm going to do this these days."
"The person recommended by the headhunter is Li Ying. Her hometown is in Mei City. However, due to her parents, she was born in Shenzhen Market. She immigrated to the United States with her family when she was in junior high school. After she was in the United States, she began to skip grades frequently because of her strong learning ability.
At the age of 17, his peers were all in high school, and Li Ying had already entered MIT with excellent grades. At the age of 20, his peers had just entered university. Li Ying had already obtained a Bachelor of Computer Science, Bachelor of Economics, and Master of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science from Massachusetts. You should know that it takes 5-6 years for ordinary people to get these degrees." Guan Weidong began to introduce the candidate recommended by the headhunter.
"It seems a bit familiar, you keep going." Jiang Hui was thinking in his mind where he had heard of this name.
"After graduating, Li Ying worked in top international companies such as McKinsey and Ikanos, and was only 24 years old when she joined uT Starcom as vice president. Unlike other girls who pursue stability, Li Ying likes adventure and innovation. As early as when she was working at McKinsey at the age of 20, her boss asked her what you really want to do? She said: I want to find a team and start my own business."
"Want to start your own business, wouldn't it be hard to dig it up?"
"No, on the contrary, I think our investment fund may be just right. As the general manager of a new company, what you have to do is actually very similar to starting a business by yourself. As long as we give her enough rights, I think the position of the general manager of Guanghui Fund will be a position that is very attractive to her..."
Just as Guan Weidong was explaining his opinion, Jiang Hui finally remembered why the name "Li Ying" sounded familiar to him.
"So it was the general of Boss Ma in his previous life. No wonder he was so familiar." Jiang Hui thought to himself.
If it weren't for Jiang Hui, Li Ying would join Boss Ma and Yu Feng, the founder of Juzhong Media, in 2010, to establish a fund called Yunfeng Fund. This fund raising period will exceed 100 million yuan. Shi Yuzhu and Shen Guojun are both founders and are considered a well-known fund in the industry.
"Is this Li Ying in the United States or in the Celestial Empire now?"
"At the beginning of 2oo6, due to some political struggles within uT, Li Ying returned to the United States and joined KPCB, becoming the youngest global partner of the company. At that time, when the company was actively developing the business of the Celestial Dynasty, Li Ying became the main force, responsible for the establishment strategy and equity investment of the Celestial Dynasty company of KPCB, and in-depth assistance to the global investment company's business in the Celestial Dynasty. So most of the time, she was in the Celestial Dynasty. Even now she was in the Celestial Dynasty, she would definitely appear somewhere in the Celestial Dynasty in less than a few days." Guan Weidong said. ()
