Yi Xiaohai can do things for Damo, but he won't do anything he doesn't want to do.
Yi Xiaohai was not able to accept the three options proposed by Stephen.
"Besides these three, are there no other options?"
"Of course, but these three are relatively free positions. I think you may not be able to accept the others"
"Do you think this will work"
Yi Xiaohai discussed with Stephen: "I can be the group's senior investment advisor, but I will only participate in the formulation of the group's major investment plans. I can also provide some high-quality investment plans to the investment department in the Asia-Pacific region at the appropriate time. What do you think?" ¡¡±
The things that Yi Xiaohai has to do in the two positions are merged.
Formulating investment plans does not require him to stay in the company every day, and can be directed remotely so that he can accept it.
"Yi, there are not many big customers in the Asia-Pacific region, so it won't cost you too much time"
"Stephen, I hope you can understand that I am still in school. Whether it is providing them with investment advice or maintaining relationships, it takes a lot of time and effort, which will affect my studies"
Yi Xiaohai¡¯s tone was not very firm. Stephen wanted to persuade him, but Wang Xiaojian spoke before him.
"Stephen, the meaning of the board of directors is very clear. If Director Yi has any ideas about his position, everything is based on his opinion. He is so insistent. I think I will just listen to him"
Stephen was surprised.
When the board of directors discussed Yi Xiaohai's position, they did say that Yi Xiaohai's attitude would prevail.
But this also has a premise. The premise is that Yi Xiaohai does not like the position they offer, and his refusal attitude is very firm.
But now, while Yi Xiaohai is still in the negotiation stage, Wang Xiaojian has revealed the bottom line of the board of directors.
Stephen doesn¡¯t know why Wang Xiaojian did this. Is it just because Yi Xiaohai is Chinese?
At this time, Wu Chao also spoke: "Stephen, we all have witnessed Director Yi's ability. Asking him to provide investment advice to major clients is a bit overkill"
"With President Wu Chao and me, the group does not need to worry about the relationship with major customersand Director Yi has made a big investment for the group, and the value is far greater than what he does other things"
"Those large customers of the group mainly invest in stable returns, and Director Yi's investment plan may not be suitable for them"
Wang Xiaojian and Wu Chao were talking to each other, and Stephen could tell that they were on Yi Xiaohai's side.
He had no choice but to compromise.
"Yi, are you really not going to think about it?"
"Stephen, I hope you can understand, after all, I am a student"
"Since you insist so much, let's do what you want"
Maintaining relationships and providing investment advice are both soft jobs.
Even if Yi Xiaohai agrees on the surface but lets others do it behind the scenes, there is nothing anyone can do.
Stephen doesn¡¯t want to be a bad guy anymore.
"Thank you very much, Stephen"
Stephen smiled: "You shouldn't thank me, you should thank Wang and Wu. They convinced me to let you do more valuable things"
"Director Wang, President Wu, thank you"
Yi Xiaohai didn¡¯t know why the two people helped him so much.
But from the looks of them, it doesn¡¯t look like they have any agenda.
Wu Chao smiled: "If you really want to thank me, please invite me to your restaurant for a meal. I heard that you have the most authentic Jinling cuisine in Shanghai"
"I will definitely meet President Wu's request"
"I don't have much request, just waive my room fee"
"If Director Wang stays in my hotel, the room fee must be free"
With the position matter settled, Stephen discussed with Yi Xiaohai the shares of Galfo Group.
The plan given by Yi Xiaohai is to acquire all 6% of the Galfo Group shares held by the French branch of Morgan Stanley at a premium of 10%
But Stephen came up with another plan.
The board of directors of Morgan Stanley wants to retain 1% of Galfo's shares and sell only 5%.
Yi Xiaohai refused directly.
He ultimately wanted to control Galfo, but the existence of Morgan made him feel uneasy, so he couldn't agree.
Stephen didn¡¯t seem to expect that Yi Xiaohai would refuse so simply.
"Yi, the group just wants to have a cup of soup with you"?¡±
"Stephen, I can't agree to this, it's related to my plan"
"Well, the group agrees to sell all its shares to you"
"Then thank you to the group"
Yi Xiaohai discovered a very important problem.
Stephen seems to be watching his attitude all the time. If he is very determined, Stephen will give in.
If he adopts a discussion tone, Stephen will try to persuade him.
Based on Wang Xiaojian¡¯s words, this should be authorized by the board of directors of Morgan Stanley.
Why is Morgan Stanley¡¯s board of directors so accommodating to itself?
Is it because of his relationship with Xu Li?
He couldn¡¯t understand, but at this time Selina knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, the conference room is all arranged, and the signing ceremony can begin"
Stephen stood up and made an invitation gesture: "Yi, let's go over"
The four people, led by Selina, arrived at the large conference room on the 43rd floor.
There were only twenty people sitting and chatting in the huge conference room, including the people brought by Yi Xiaohai.
Such an important ceremony seems a bit crude with only so many people participating.
Stephen invited Yi Xiaohai to sit down at the signing table at the front:
"Yi, isn't it a little too deserted for such a grand moment? At least let internal employees come over to observe"
"Stephen, I am a student"
Stephen shrugged: "Okay, you are the protagonist today, everything is up to you"
Before the signing ceremony, Yi Xiaohai emphasized keeping everything simple.
The news that he became a shareholder of Morgan Stanley cannot be completely kept secret, but the fewer people know about it, the slower the news will spread.
"Mr. Stephen is interested"
"We are friends, so we should face each other"
Stephen used a Chinese idiom, and this time Yi Xiaohai understood what he meant.
There was no speech, no foreshadowing, the signing ceremony started directly.
Yi Xiaohai and Stephen will sign after the lawyers of both parties have reviewed it.
It takes a lot of effort to sign a contract in both Chinese and English, let alone read it.
Yi Xiaohai signed his name on the last page. After the lawyers of both parties checked it, they signed their names on the lawyer page respectively.
The 50-minute signing was finally over.
Yi Xiaohai and Stephen stood up, holding the contract and shaking hands together. Wu Chao's secretary was responsible for taking pictures of them.
The contract has been signed, but the matter is not over yet.
Stephen took out a letter of appointment and hired Yi Xiaohai as a senior investment adviser to Morgan Stanley.
Yi Xiaohai signed his name on the appointment letter.
"Yi, we will be colleagues from now on, please take care of me"
"Help each other¡¡"
After the two people took photos holding the letter of appointment, the signing ceremony was officially over
