章節 883: Chapter 883: The future of Hong Kong
'Boss, thank you for your recognition, I am willing to try my best!'
Michael Bloomberg nodded vigorously and said firmly.
Xia Yu's smile became even brighter, and he extended his hand to him, and the latter immediately got up and shook Xia Yu's hand.
'Michael, you can handle the departure matters first today and tomorrow, and I will find you the day after tomorrow to arrange a new job for you,'
Xia Yu said with a faint smile.
Michael Bloomberg nodded in response, 'Okay.'
In this way, Xia Yu's two purposes of going to Solomon Brothers had been achieved. After sending Michael Bloomberg away, he took Xue He back to the Galaxy Fund.
In the car, Xia Yu told Xue He, 'Xue He, you must maintain the overall situation at Philipp Brothers, especially you must keep an eye on Tendler Wells. I don't want anything to go wrong with the merger.'
Xue He's heart sank, and he nodded with a serious face, vowing, 'Boss, I will pay attention at all times and will definitely not hold the company back.'
'Hm!'
Xia Yu nodded slightly and said no more. Turning his head, he looked through the car window at the busy traffic on Wall Street. In the corner of his eye, he saw a huge billboard on the World Trade Center that read 'J.P. Morgan & Company.'
Translated into Chinese, it was J.P. Morgan & Company.
He couldn't help but think about the relationship between Wall Street and the Morgan consortium. As the true emperor of Wall Street, the Morgan consortium is secretly known as the 'controller of Wall Street' and is intricately linked to every major financial company on Wall Street. Many large financial companies are directly held by the Morgan consortium.
The Morgan consortium has also infiltrated every industry in the United States through Wall Street capital. Every major American company has a seat on the board of directors of the Morgan consortium.
It has even extended its tentacles beyond the United States through capital flows.
It can be said that the more prosperous Wall Street is, the stronger the Morgan consortium becomes.
For some reason, Xia Yu's mind suddenly flashed the image of Central in Xiangjiang.
Central is the Xiangjiang version of 'Wall Street'.
However, the gap between Central and Wall Street can be described as night and day.
Why there is such a big gap, Xia Yu knows very well in his heart, even if it develops to the peak of the future, Central is still far behind Wall Street.
Not to mention that in later generations, the mainland has also risen, and Pengcheng and Modu have also continued to divide Hong Kong's capital. Modu has even surpassed Hong Kong and is catching up. Without the support of the entire mainland, Hong Kong's peak is already in sight.
Even if we only look at Southeast Asia, Star City is constantly competing with Hong Kong for the throne of Southeast Asian financial centre, not to mention East Asia, where Tokyo is an insurmountable obstacle.
If this life is like the last, then the Jiuding Financial Group he built will be subject to great constraints.
In fact, Xia Yu also feels that even now, Hong Kong can no longer provide him with much help. In short, to him, the true dragon, Hong Kong is now just a small pond with too shallow water!
How can a true dragon be raised in shallow water?
But Hong Kong is destined to be his lair, and it is absolutely impossible for him to give it up.
The best way is to fully support the development of Hong Kong, at least in terms of finance, and strive to gradually turn Hong Kong into the financial centre of Southeast Asia, Asia and even the world.
Hong Kong is indeed blessed with its time zone and geographical location, and is much better than Star City!
If the small pond of Hong Kong can be developed into a lake or even an ocean, then the influence and strength of the Jiuding consortium will expand rapidly, and one day when someone mentions Morgan on Wall Street, they will subconsciously think of Jiuding in Hong Kong.
However...
Considering the speed of development on the mainland and the political risks in Hong Kong, Xia Yu felt a bit of a headache.
The former is a bit better. He can help the mainland develop, and he doesn't need to be in a hurry. Over the next ten years, Hong Kong's importance to the mainland will not diminish. He can completely attract capital from Southeast Asia and the Middle East first, turning it into fertilizer for Hong Kong's rise.
On the contrary, the unstable political factor is the biggest risk. If the British stir up trouble at every turn and lose a stable economic environment, even if he has ideas, he will be unable to exert his influence, and his efforts will be half as effective or even fail.
'If we leave it alone, Hong Kong will easily follow the same path as in the past, which will be detrimental to me.'
'It seems that I need to plan carefully. As long as I have a strong influence on the upper echelons of the British government and have a significant impact on the UK, I can influence whoever moves Hong Kong. I can even make sure that the bill fails to pass both houses of parliament!'
'After making such a big noise in the US this time, it is just as well to go low-key for a while and do some preliminary preparations during this period of time.'
Thinking about this, Xia Yu began to contemplate in his heart.
...
The two days passed in a flash.
When Michael Bloomberg arrived at the designated location, he noticed that there was another Chinese person in the office in addition to his boss Xia Yu.
'Good morning, boss! Sorry I'm late.'
'Michael, you're not late. It's not even time yet,'
Xia Yu said with a smile, then introduced Yan Wenhan to him: 'Michael, this is Yan Wenhan, the general manager of Jiuding Newspaper Company and Jiuding News Agency.'
'Hello, I'm Yan Wenhan, I look forward to working with you in the future!'
'Hello, it's my pleasure!'
After a brief handshake, the three of them took their seats.
The first thing to be discussed was naturally Michael Bloomberg's employment, as a preliminary agreement had been reached the day before and Xia Yu didn't dawdle, so it took about 40 minutes for Michael Bloomberg to sign the employment agreement.
His salary increased by 50% compared to his salary at Salomon Brothers. After all, his position was different. As the general manager of the company, Michael Bloomberg's salary level affected the entire company's salary system. If it was too low, it would be detrimental to the company's development and would not attract talent.
As for the matter of options, it was stated in the agreement that a new agreement would be signed after six months, based on the results of the assessment. Michael Bloomberg did not have any objections to this.
Considering the initial investment and the investment and development plan for the next six months, the new company will definitely grow explosively. At that time, in the face of a company of such high value, Michael Bloomberg would not dare to mention what percentage of the options he would take, even if he wanted to. This had long been in Xia Yu's calculations.
From the moment Michael Bloomberg signed the agreement, he had already fallen into the pit. After six months, it would be too late to regret it, and of course he would not have the heart to regret it then.
After Yan Wenhan had put away the agreement, they got down to business.
Xia Yu gave Yan Wenhan a sign, and the latter immediately took out a secret document and handed it to Michael Bloomberg.
Xia Yu explained in due course, 'Michael, this is all the information about the company. You can take it back and study it carefully. For the establishment and improvement of the company in the future, you can just ask Yan Wenhan. The headquarters of the news agency should be located in Manhattan, and you can choose the specific address. The initial capital of the company is 50 million US dollars.'
Yes, the new company will be called SuergNews, not Bloomberg News.
The reason is that the name Bloomberg News was originally chosen by Michael Bloomberg using his surname Bloomberg. The word can be translated as either Bloomberg or Bloomberg, and it would be ridiculous if Xia Yu really named the new company Bloomberg News.
The news agency is different from Jiuding News Agency in that it only provides targeted financial information services, unlike Jiuding News Agency which provides comprehensive coverage.
Moreover, the news agency is not a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jiuding News Agency, which does not hold any equity, nor is it affiliated with Jiuding Media Group, the parent company of Jiuding News Agency. Instead, it has chosen to be handled separately offshore.
The reason for this is to solve the possible future constraints of the news agency from the very beginning.
As a professional financial information service provider, the financial data terminals developed in the future will definitely be supplied to traders, investment banks, the Federal Reserve, other official US agencies and major central banks around the world. In order to promote itself in the future, Bloomberg News must play down its own colours and maintain its 'complete independence'.
Only in this way can Bloomberg News Agency gain a foothold in the US financial market and, with the help of the advantages of the United States, attack the global market.
Moreover, in order to avoid suspicion and for better development, Jiuding News Agency will also launch a professional financial service terminal to compete with Bloomberg News Agency.
Even if an extremely bad situation does arise, it is better to take out a portion of the equity of Bloomberg News Agency for a profit exchange than to take the equity of Jiuding News Agency.
'Michael, there is more information inside, you go back and take your time reading it, I have something to tell you.'
Michael Bloomberg, who had planned to flip through it immediately, saw Xia Yu's serious expression and immediately suppressed his smile. He looked at Xia Yu solemnly and said, 'Boss, please command.'
Xia Yu said solemnly, 'Don't disclose my information to the outside world. The news agency will maintain complete independence on the surface, and the relationship with Jiuding News Agency will also appear to be only an ordinary cooperative relationship. Yan Wenhan will remind you of the specifics. All of this is for the stable development of the company.'
Michael Bloomberg had also been on Wall Street for more than ten years, and immediately understood his boss Xia Yu's concerns. He had also considered his boss's skin colour, but after all, he had just started working here and it was not easy for him to bring it up. Now that his boss had eliminated the hidden dangers in advance, he strongly supported this wise decision.
'Boss, I understand, I will pay attention to these in the future,' Michael Bloomberg nodded and said.
'Hm!'
'Next, you need to get the company back on track as soon as possible. You should consult with Manager Yan Wenhan about improving the company's systems and recruiting staff. He will help you.'
After speaking to Michael Bloomberg, Xia Yu turned to Yan Wenhan and said, 'Wenhan, Michael has just started and doesn't know which resources he can use. You will need to help him.'
'And don't forget what I just told you. This is a rare opportunity.'
Yan Wenhan nodded emphatically and said, 'Chairman, don't worry, I won't let you down.'
'Well, I'm confident in your work.'
'Michael, I have something else to do. If you have any questions, just ask Manager Yan Wenhan.'
'Okay, boss, you go ahead.'
