There are more than 500 banks from various countries working here, and 75 of the world's top 500 companies have set up offices here. Basically, large companies interested in transnational business need to consider business issues in the City of London.
It can be said that whether a company is international can be seen from whether they are located in the City of London. Companies with weak strength or little international business will naturally not set up shop here. As for financial companies, they don't need to be listed in the top 500 or top 1,000 companies. As long as they are somewhat motivated, they will find a way to find a place here.
With a large number of large enterprises and financial institutions, it will become much more comfortable for small and medium-sized institutions to survive here. The small City of London is only the size of a small Chinese town, with more than 300,000 people working there every day. , any financial service on earth can be found here, and a large number of companies are still developing new financial projects every day.
Naturally, companies in England set up branches in the Financial City as much as possible. British Global Oil has a quaint old London building. Four floors of the stocky six-story building were vacated to serve as the base camp for seven company groups.
After Kang Le brought Su Cheng to the Financial City, he first showed off: "This is the central area of ??the Financial City. This building was left by my grandfather. My father repaired it twice and I repaired it twice. It will be handed over to me in the future." Son, I hope he can repair it twice and pass it on, haha"
The City of London, England, is the old city of London. In the 19th century, it was the bank of the world, absorbing gold and silver from all over the world with the glory of the empire that never sets. Therefore, whether it is now or a hundred years ago, buying the next building is very rare.
In Kang Le¡¯s words, there is inevitably an element of boasting about the family¡¯s glory.
Su Cheng gave a couple of compliments in cooperation and asked, "Have you found the manpower responsible for futures trading?"
"I'm just waiting for your interview." Kang Le said with a smile and said: "The place is for you to use, but I can't directly participate, so I leave the rest to you."
"No problem. Let's start the interview now." Su Cheng did not expect other companies to directly participate. Although there is a theoretical profit of about 30%, how could a wealthy guy like Kang Le be willing to risk jail time to manipulate the market in person? Su Cheng was so bold because of his nationality.
Everyone likes to make easy money. Kang Le was sure that he would not be implicated, and the last burden in his heart was relieved. He led the way to introduce the history of the family building.
Similar to the local buildings, the Kangle family building looks old on the outside, but it does not lack advanced equipment and luxurious decoration inside. Of course, the most eye-catching ones are various famous paintings and sculptures.
Although only a few of the artworks placed in the glass safe are authentic, all the fakes hanging in the building belong to the collection of the Kang Le family. During each renovation process, they will also specially select people to copy the paintings. Many painters who copied the paintings eventually Becoming a celebrity again, the Kang Le family's collection will increase again.
Su Cheng and his party entered, first set up an office on the top floor, and immediately started the interview. Financial institutions are places where time is of the essence, both for the interviewer and the interviewee.
Dahua Strategy Department has its own futures traders. Unlike professional speculative funds, these futures traders mainly do hedging. However, in the process of futures speculation, they can still be used as management and liaison personnel, just like the relationship between corporate lawyers and firm lawyers.
The interview is also decided by Dahua¡¯s futures traders and Su Cheng.
Su Cheng only looks at people, while Qi Xiao from the futures department is responsible for reviewing professional situations. Although the transaction amount is high, the number of traders required is only two or three.
In addition, offshore funds also need to hire two small financial companies to do oddities and data analysis work.
The entire recruitment process took one day, and the final candidates were two Cambridge students and one Oxford student.
This is a matter of course. Almost all the applicants are Cambridge and Oxford students, and most of them have honorary degrees. Students with a fourth-level ordinary degree will basically not be able to survive in the Financial City. If they cannot find a job, they will be given priority. Being laid off and having trouble getting promoted are common forms of discrimination.
The unique diploma worship in the UK is very similar to that in East Asia, and the higher the upper class, the more so. Because children with good family backgrounds will definitely be able to go to good primary schools and middle schools, and will also be able to go to good universities. Smart children may not necessarily be able to go to good primary schools and middle schools, but they will also have a great chance of going to good universities, and they will not be involved in either. Graduates can only consider jobs below the middle class, or becoming a politician.
The Financial City is the core of London, so it naturally brings into full play the characteristics of Britain.Come out. It is possible for a financial company to have all students from Cambridge, or all from Oxford, or even all from the same college.
As the place with the highest salary in the world, as long as the boss is willing, he can select the employees he wants.
The same is true for Pan-Asia Offshore Funds.
When Kang Le received more than 400 resumes, it no longer made sense to select interview candidates other than Cambridge and Oxford students.
Even with work experience, the conditions need to be designed very harshly before 20 interviewees can be finally selected.
In the second week, Pan Asia Fund began to move funds.
The total amount of funds is 16 billion US dollars, plus Aliyev¡¯s 1.5 billion, the total is 17.5 billion US dollars. It would take three days to prepare such a large sum of money.
Before the work was completed, Kang Le rushed straight to Su City's office, opened the door and said: "In the city, news about the Pan Asia Fund has begun to spread. It is said that the assets exceed 5 billion US dollars. You must be careful, don't Got caught.¡±
"So fast?" Su Cheng stood on the treadmill in the office, sweating profusely. After pressing the stop button, he wiped his face and asked, "Does anyone want to eat us?"
"You should ask who doesn't want to. I'll answer no one." Kang Le sat on the sofa, looked at the room that had been transformed into at least twenty large screens, and said: "No matter how the funds in the Financial City flow, there are always There are traces of it, in a place like the Financial City, secrets about money cannot be hidden at all.¡±
Whether it is the oil futures exchange or the banking system, the final news will be attributed to a small circle, just like the seats on the exchange. No matter how big the base is, it will eventually converge to the controllable range of a conference room. inside.
Su Cheng clicked his tongue twice and said: "We have only prepared 6 billion US dollars, and their guess was really accurate."
"With more than 10 billion US dollars, no one can bear it. I just want to remind you. There are countless mouths in the Financial City."
?? 17.5 billion U.S. dollars, even if it is just a bite, it is equivalent to the annual profit of a large financial institution. No matter who the opponent is, the crocodiles will give it a try.
Su Cheng nodded slowly and said, "I understand."
"What can you do?" Kang Le asked curiously. He also had money in this fund.
Su Cheng chuckled and said, "What can we do to cope with the changes?"
¡°Stay unchanged in response to all changes¡± is a very good term in Chinese, but it completely changes when it is translated into English.
Kang Le's face changed slightly and he said, "This is no joke. Have you ever seen a giant crocodile in London? There are guys who are eaten to the bone every day."
After Su Cheng drank enough water, he changed his clothes in front of Kang Le and said: "We are in the oil business, not in finance. No matter what these London predators think, we only need to see crude oil before we take action. Then there will be no problem.¡±
Kang Le said uneasily: "Even if we see crude oil, if the Financial City reacts slowly or deliberately delays its response, our profits will change greatly, and we may even suffer losses."
When giving the money, he still believed in Su Cheng's plan, but when it came time to implement it, people always have various worries. This is also human nature.
Su Cheng smiled understandingly and said: "Don't worry, our seven companies are not good at finance, but they are always good at oil. Besides, haven't the bank directors in each company also acquiesced in this matter? Even if they don't help, they won't. As for adding insult to injury."
Kang Le thought the same thing, laughed twice, and said: "I am naturally at ease with Director Su's actions. Well, on the day of launching, you must call me over."
"certainly."
"Exact launch time?"
"That's not up to me." Su Cheng shook his head slightly and said, "Now should be the time to slowly build a position. If you have time, come and take a look."
¡°Building a position is the most boring thing, and you can¡¯t see anything from it.
Kang Le did not agree, and asked before leaving: "Do you want me to do some publicity in advance?"
He continued to test, but in the end he felt guilty.
Su Cheng continued to object, saying: "Oil futures are suitable for a thunderous strike, so there is no need to publicize it in advance. When the time comes, a big order will be more powerful than any publicity."
Kang Leqiqi Ai Ai said goodbye, and Su Cheng continued his sweaty exercise.
In the next few days, more financial institutions took a look at Pan Asia Fund, and there were even rumors about "fat meat".
Amidst the surging undercurrent, Qi Xiao and others were extremely nervous.
On the contrary, Sioux City has tried all kinds of food in London.I spent every day wandering around the city with Shu Lan. One day it was a department store, the next it was a Michelin restaurant.
Compared with London in 2014, London in 1994 was not significantly behind. However, London in 1994 was much more modern than Shanghai in 1994. The sense of historical dignity and prosperous commerce made the residential properties here great. for improvement.
The developed and convenient communication tools even make Sioux City feel more convenient than the headquarters in Shanghai, especially after adapting to conference calls, whether it is Azerbaijan or Xiamen, Jinan, it is very convenient to communicate. few.
Because of Sioux City, as a prey in the eyes of predators, the Pan Asia Fund acted too calmly, but it aroused the curiosity of many predators.
