Chapter 2164 - 2124: Wall Street Financial Talent

In the evening, after just finishing dinner, Mr. William had invited a dozen or so financial talents from Wall Street.

These financial talents ranged from their twenties to their forties, and included both men and women.

Over in Hong Kong, Ye Qiu had invested in that investment company, and he had met quite a few financial talents there as well.

Now, the ones Mr. William invited were definitely not lacking in skill.

"Dr. Ye, these are talents from Wall Street."

Are they really talents?

Actually, Ye Qiu was sure of it.

Now as Ye Qiu sat chatting with them, he asked if they were clear about the purpose of their invitation.

"Mr. Ye, may I ask if you’re interested in focusing on the stock market in America, or in investments in funds and bonds in America?"

Investing in finance on Wall Street, it was definitely focused on the American stock market.

As for funds and bonds, the risks are certainly much lower, but that also means the returns are not as abundant or as quick.

"Let’s first invest in the American stock market."

Now Ye Qiu was investing in the American stock market with the money of American millionaires.

"Then, may I ask how much money Mr. Ye can allocate initially?"

Initially?

"Initially, one billion US dollars!"

One billion US dollars?

That’s equivalent to sixty to seventy billion Huaxia Yuan, not too much, but not too little either.

However, for some skilled Wall Street traders, managing over a billion dollars is quite common.

Not to mention the few stock gods on Wall Street, who manage a few hundred to even over a thousand billion US dollars.

"I hope this team will be fully responsible for the Wall Street stock market for me."

"Mr. Ye, investments do carry risks, what if we end up losing it?"

This surely goes without saying.

If investments were risk-free and all yielded profits, there wouldn’t be any poor people left in this world.

And the American stock market is like that; in a bear market, it’s quite likely for people to go bankrupt or even jump off buildings.

"I hired you all, naturally not to lose money; manage the risks within a certain scope, with the aim to make profits. If I wanted to lose money, what would I be hiring you for?"

Isn’t that a joke?

If it’s all about losing money, why would Ye Qiu hire them?

Ye Qiu chatted with them until past ten in the evening, and by then, he had figured out their situations.

He planned to pick five people from them to form a small group of five, and then give them a one-year assessment. By the end of the year, whoever stands out will depend on their abilities and that of their small group.

"You five will share a ten billion US dollar fund, and in a year, I want to see the greatest results."

That means each person and each small group gets two billion US dollars.

If so, with limited funds, achieving success will naturally be more difficult.

"Mr. Ye, can we choose anyone to work with?"

"Of course, you are entirely responsible for risk management. I only want to see your results in a year."

"Then what if we lose it all by then?"

Lose it all?

"Then you shouldn’t be involved in it. Who knows if you’ll squander that money by then? I trust you, that’s why I’m letting you do this, but I hope the talents Mr. William invited aren’t foolish."

Two billion US dollars gone in a year.

That’s something Ye Qiu cannot accept.

The five individuals, including three men and two women, understood Ye Qiu’s intentions.

In their previous companies, they were already capable of holding their own, but now, they had more autonomy.

"Your annual salary will be tied to your profits; the higher the profits, the higher the income. As for fixed salaries, temporarily calculated at twice your previous salaries, we’ll sign a contract tomorrow."

Now as Ye Qiu let them go home to rest, after they left, Mr. William was quite surprised that Ye Qiu was so bold as to directly entrust all his money to these people.

On Wall Street, there are many financial talents, even very skilled ones.

Several major tycoons on Wall Street can cause economic crises in global stock markets, like in several Southeast Asian countries before, and even Hong Kong nearly faced it.

But those were just a few major tycoons.

However, Ye Qiu can’t afford them now, nor can he use such people.

These tycoons have their own companies and teams, with many interest groups backing them.

Meanwhile, Ye Qiu was essentially establishing five companies on Wall Street, and ultimately what would happen to these five companies depended on their personal strengths.

"I hope in a year, their abilities will not disappoint."

"Dr. Ye, if we encounter a bull market, that’s fine, but if it’s a bear market, even the greatest stock gods might struggle," Mr. William remarked.

People in America, and even in Europe, typically diversify their investments.

Stocks are only a part; the other parts could be funds, bonds, real estate, and other industries, rather than betting their entire fortunes on the stock market.

Now Ye Qiu had put the earned ten billion into the stock market, which made Mr. William feel that Ye Qiu was taking on too much risk.

Moreover, these were people he had found.

"I trust your judgment, and I also trust my own."

Mr. William nodded.

Ye Qiu knew he had basically settled things in New York.

However, he didn’t plan to return to his country immediately.

When Ye Qiu returned to his room, Miranda had just finished her bath and was waiting for him in a nightgown.

"Qiu, are you done talking with the talents?"

Just now, when Ye Qiu was communicating in English with Wall Street financial talents, since it was mostly financial terms, Miranda listened for a while, then she went back, as she might not be that familiar with those terms.

Besides, she didn’t want to disturb Ye Qiu.

"Yes, it’s done."

"Are you really investing in a company here?"

"Of course, Miranda, you will be responsible for things here in America from now on."

Responsible for me?

Miranda couldn’t believe it.

Although she had studied economics, she was far behind compared to those people. Moreover, Cuba’s finance sector was really lacking, relying mainly on the primary and secondary industries, with the tertiary sector not very developed and without that condition.

Hearing now that she would be responsible, Miranda felt her abilities were definitely not up to par, she’d rather manage Coffee Mountain.

"I... I can’t, I don’t have that ability."

Miranda was very clear on this point.

Handling it, how could it be possible?

"Not being able to now doesn’t mean you won’t be able to in the future. When you return to Cuba, you need to focus more on this development, and you can regularly hire financial talents to teach you."

No one is born with such abilities, and by then Ye Qiu was only letting Miranda be responsible in name, the actual responsibility would certainly be handled by others.

From this, Miranda realized that her identity and status had been affirmed by Ye Qiu.

"I still want to go back to Huaxia with you, I don’t want to stay here in America."
