I Want To Be a Rich Man on Hong Kong Island

Burbank, Los Angeles County, California.

Burbank is the headquarters of the Walt Disney Company, and many world-renowned media and entertainment companies, including Warner Bros., NBC, Viacom, and PBS, have branches in Burbank.

Therefore, Burbank is also known as the "Media Capital of the World".

Rey Dario walked into the Disney Building with a complicated mood and came to the front desk;

Rey Dario said to the beautiful staff at the front desk: "Hello, I'm Rey Dario, and I've made an appointment with Mr. Keira!"

The beautiful receptionist obviously got the order, she got up quickly and said with a smile: "Mr. Rey Dario, hello! I will take you upstairs!"

Seeing that the beautiful staff was so polite, Ray Dario finally had some sense of accomplishment;

Speaking of which, I was also one of the consultants when I bought Disney;

Although, this consultant position did not play a big role, and it was even just my good friend Keira Lei, in order to add some financial "experience" to myself;

But I did have a fate with the great Walt Disney Company!

Because he needs Wu Xianlei's help, Ray Dario feels a little nervous today;

It turned out that since knowing that Wu Xianlei's family is so rich, Rey Dario had the idea of ​​cooperation;

The so-called cooperation is nothing more than allowing the Wu Xianlei family to hire their own company as a financial consultant, which is to give themselves a business;

Rey Dalio's Bridgewater is only a company that provides consulting services to investors at this time, and does not have a hedge fund business.

The front desk brought Ray Dario to Wu Xianlei's office.

The two greeted each other cordially, and after chatting for a while;

Rey Dario got straight to the point and said, "Lei, can you introduce your mother, Ms. Kaila, the chairman of Metro Group, to me. I want to talk to her about business cooperation?"

Wu Xianlei was stunned for a moment, his good friend has taken a fancy to the business of Metro Group, he has a big appetite!

However, with such a large group, Metro will not rest assured that a not-so-famous investment consulting agency will act as a consultant.

Directly refuse a good friend who hits me a little bit,

Wu Xianlei was a little embarrassed!

Occasionally, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, and I remembered that the reason why I met Ray Dario at the beginning was not because of the introduction from my father!

It turned out that Wu Guangyao asked Wu Xianlei to get in touch with Ray Dario and make friends with him on the grounds that he had heard about Ray Dario's deeds on Harvard campus.

Wu Xianlei didn't have any idea at the time, thinking that his father found a talent by accident, and then let him get acquainted.

Thinking of this, Wu Xianlei said: "Metro Group may not cooperate with you, Rey Dario, you have to know that you don't have much achievements now!"

Rey Dario immediately lost his mood, and he also made a lot of determination, so he chose to speak to his good friend;

Unexpectedly, my good friend is not willing to help this favor at all, maybe because she is worried that her mother will cooperate against her will for his sake!

Just when Ray Dario was disappointed, Wu Xianlei's voice sounded again;

"However, I can introduce you to a very rich man, maybe you can cooperate!"

No matter how rich you are, can you have the money of Metro Group?

Although the expected cooperation was not achieved, Rey Dario said seriously: "What kind of character?"

Wu Xianlei said, "Is it my father?"

Rey Dario was surprised, Wu Xianlei never mentioned his father in front of him;

I was also worried about any inconvenience, and I never asked, so I don't know what happened to Wu Xianlei's father!

"Your father?"

"Yes, my father's name is Wu Guangyao, he is Chinese!"

"World 's richest man!"

Seeing Ray Dario being so surprised, Wu Xianlei felt a sense of pride in his heart!

"Maybe it is! It's all made up by the media, maybe it's a little different from those big families!"

Rey Dario got up from the sofa, came to Wu Xianlei's desk, and looked again and again!

"Unexpectedly, your father is actually the richest man in the world! No wonder your mother dared to bet on the shares of the Metro Group when it bought Disney!"

"Okay! Are you willing to see my father?"

"Of course I would. He is the richest man in the world. I will be very satisfied if I can listen to his teachings!"

 …

In January 1979, Wu Guangyao took a private plane to the United States to handle business;

Along with them was the team from the investment management department of the family office, and Wu Guangyao specially brought Yuan Tianfan with him;

Obviously, Wu Guangyao intends to personally train Yuan Tianfan, and after he grows up quickly, he will serve as the military adviser and staff officer of the second generation of the Wu family.

In his previous life, Yuan Tianfan was good at capital operation;

And this time Wu Guangyao came to the United States to acquire or participate in several companies, which happened to allow him to participate.

On the first floor of the private jet, Wu Guangyao invited Yuan Tianfan to have a heart-to-heart talk;

"How old is Tianfan?"

"27 years old!"

Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "Well, although you have performed well in Everbright Securities in the past few years, you still lack some enthusiasm! This time you come to the United States, you will study hard with the team and increase your knowledge in the field of international finance!"

Yuan Tianfan is far from the pride of future generations at this time, after all, he can't imagine how great his future achievements will be;

But the achievements of the people in front of you are the existence you look up to;

Therefore, Yuan Tianfan is very grateful for Wu Guangyao's teaching, this is the boss promoting himself!

"Yes, boss! I will learn with humility!"

Wu Guangyao was very satisfied with Yuan Tianfan's attitude;

To subdue such a character, Lao Li needs to visit the thatched cottage, but Wu Guangyao does not need to do so at all;

In his previous life, Yuan Tianfan's resume was very exciting;

First in the creditor's rights department of HSBC Bank, and then led the team to move to the Hong Kong branch of Citibank;

At the age of 36, he became the youngest chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (stock exchange);

After chasing Lao Li for a full 10 years and visiting the thatched cottage three times, Yuan Tianfan finally agreed to assist Xiao Li in the 1990s.

 …

After the private plane arrived in Los Angeles, the team members were picked up by the family office staff here, while Wu Guangyao got into Chris's car.

Seeing Chris's Lamborghini Countach sports car, Wu Guangyao suddenly found himself in a dilemma, hesitating at the door!

"Honey, don't you like this car?" Chris asked with some disappointment on his face.

Wu Guangyao held back, pulled the passenger door, and tried his best to stuff his 182cm body into it;

Chris finally knew the reason for his lover's trouble, and immediately became annoyed.

In the car, Wu Guangyao asked in confusion: "Why do you think of driving a sports car to pick me up?"

In fact, it was not just a car that came to pick up Wu Guangyao, but a motorcade;

But it was impossible for Wu Guangyao to let Chris drive the sports car alone without himself as the co-pilot. After all, the two of them didn't spend much time together!

Chris turned his head and said, "I've fallen in love with sports cars recently, and think she's young and energetic!"

Wu Guangyao was taken aback for a moment, and seemed to think of the reason for Chris's change.

Chris is also 35 years old. Although he is still beautiful, his appearance will depreciate to some extent!

I like sports cars, don't I just want to set them off!

Although he thought so, Wu Guangyao said flatteringly: "It's very good! This sports car is very suitable for you, because you are just like it!"

Chris's mood suddenly brightened, and he didn't think too much about it, thinking that Wu Guangyao was flattering himself;

After all, Wu Guangyao was already 48 years old, and the wives in front of him were all of that age, except Haruko from Japan who was about the same age as her.

Chris even thinks that Wu Guangyao has seen too many of those 50-year-old sisters, so he will especially like them more when he sees them!

In fact, Chris was completely wrong in thinking this way!

Wu Guangyao has always had no shortage of young girls. Every year, 20-year-old girls go to Wu Guangyao's bed;

It's just that Wu Guangyao doesn't take it seriously!

Seeing Wu Guangyao leaning back as much as possible, Chris said apologetically, "I forgot, you don't like being in a small space! I'm sorry, dear!"

Wu Guangyao stroked the hair of Chris who was driving, and said, "It's all small things!"

After talking for a while, the two came to the villa in Los Angeles, a manor-style villa in Beverly Hills.

It was the student winter vacation, and a pair of sons and daughters of the two were also in the villa, waiting for the reunion with their father.

However, 9-year-old Wu Xiancheng and 4-year-old Wu Jieli quickly became disappointed. After their parents greeted them, they stayed for less than half an hour before they both left;

The child didn't know what the two of them were going to do, so the servant coaxed him to the grass outside!

And Wu Guangyao and Chris had already started a fire, and they couldn't wait to stick together when they reached the second floor;

The building in the manor only has two floors, but the two knew that the servants would not let children disturb their good business;

Therefore, the two of them were already ready to move from the corridor on the second floor;

On the second floor, even the clothes fell off;

rough...

Kicking open the door, the two finally had no scruples...

At the last moment, Chris's eyes were blurred and lax, but he still said with his last strength: "Inside! Inside!"

Wu Guangyao didn't think too much, just did it!

Afterwards, Wu Guangyao put his arms around Chris and asked, "Are you going to have another baby? My grandchildren will have 7 grandchildren!"

Chris was dissatisfied with Wu Guangyao's mention of grandchildren, and said: "What does that matter! After this one is born, I will have another one when I am 40!"

Wu Guangyao was terrified when he heard it, but he couldn't refuse;

After all, I was already on the children, and I didn't pay as much as Chris!

"Okay! I respect your decision!"

It took two hours for a fight, and the two walked down the stairs affectionately. At this time, the servant had already prepared dinner, and the children were already protesting hungry!

 …

Los Angeles, Wu Family Office.

In Wu Guangyao's office, Wu Guangyao was sitting as the boss, and Yuan Tianfan acted as Wu Guangyao's assistant;

Sitting on the sofa are Wu Xianlei and Ray Dario!

"Father, this is Ray Dario, my good friend and a financial genius on Wall Street in New York!" Wu Xianlei introduced vigorously.

Hearing the words Wall Street Genius, Yuan Tianfan couldn't help but feel refreshed!

Ray Dario quickly introduced himself: "Mr. Wu, please allow me to introduce myself!"

Wu Guangyao made a gesture of invitation, and Ray Dalio continued: "I was born in an Italian family in Jackson Heights, Queens, New York. I started to trade stocks when I was 12 years old. I invested in Northeast Airlines with the same consumption and earned three times the profit. I got involved in the bulk futures trading market at the age of 16, and my funds already reached 200,000 US dollars. After that, I went to Long Island University and Harvard Business School. One million dollars to start Bridgewater Investment Advisory LLC.”

"This is the current situation of Bridgewater, which is basically introduced very clearly!"

After receiving the brochure handed over by Ray Dario, Wu Guangyao quickly browsed it;

"Bridgewater's current main business is investment consulting, but I already have a family office!"

Wu Guangyao looked at Ray Dario with a smile on his face, but the words he said made Ray Dario feel cold;

Even Wu Xianlei felt embarrassed at this moment!

It was obviously Ray Dario that his father let him know, why did he refuse him again now?

"It's okay, I already knew this before I came here! But Lei and I are good friends, and I also want to know Mr. Wu, hoping to get some life advice from the elders, so I decided to visit you!"

Wu Guangyao nodded, quite satisfied with Ray Dario's ability to respond!

As soon as the words changed, Wu Guangyao said: "However, I believe in my son's vision, and I also believe in your self-introduction just now; therefore, I think you are a potential investor! Then, Mr. Rey Dario , are you willing to accept another kind of cooperation?"

Ray Dario was a little disappointed, but was immediately mobilized.

Regardless of what the cooperation is, being able to cooperate with the richest man in the world is a qualification in itself;

This qualification is very beneficial to Bridgewater's future business!

Ray Dario said sincerely: "Mr. Wu, tell me!"

Wu Guangyao smiled and said to the son next to Rey Dario: "Xianlei, tell your friends about my achievements in investment; don't need to say too much, lest people think we are exaggerating ourselves !"

Speaking of Wu Guangyao's investment experience, Wu Xianlei's face changed, with an expression of admiration;

"My father is also an investment master, he is very good at controlling the overall situation! In 1969, my father predicted that the U.S. stocks would appreciate too much, so he ordered the investment department to withdraw all funds from the U.S. stock market; in 1970, this part The funds took advantage of the sharp drop in the U.S. stock market to carry out a perfect bottom-hunting; before the oil crisis in 1973, my father went to the Middle East again, and the possible consequences... In short, my father He is a master who can control the general trend, and can analyze the big trend of the financial market from some information in the society."

After listening to it, Ray Dario said in disbelief: "Mr. Wu has such a strong control over the general situation, coupled with Mr. Wu's huge amount of funds, I am afraid that the profit will be very high! Investors looking for opportunities are even smarter!"

At this time, Yuan Tianfan was also very shocked!

Yuan Tianfan also knew that Wu Guangyao's analysis of the international situation was very accurate. After all, global shipping was often reported by the world media;

But hearing the boss's son talk about the boss's investment in finance today is really even more incredible!

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "I have a big picture, but I don't know how to deal with the specific details of finance, so I have networked a lot of talents to serve me! Now, the cooperation method I am talking about is that I bought Bridgewater 85 % of the shares, how about we become partners?"

Rey Dalio reminded Wu Guangyao: "Mr. Wu, Bridgewater is just a consulting company!"

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "Bridgewater is a consulting company. That's because you don't have enough funds and performance to get enough contacts, so you choose to set up a consulting company. What you like is investment, yes no?"

Ray Dalio nodded and said, "Of course! I like investing and dream of becoming a Wall Street tycoon!"

In 1976, I only had $1 million in assets; during my one year of work, I didn’t know many old customers, and there were big loopholes in my network, so it was difficult to attract investment; if I set up an investment company, all aspects Neither is very mature.

I lack both capital and contacts, and my rationality tells me that the probability of success is very low, and I don't want to take such a big risk.

So I chose a more secure way to set up a financial investment consulting service company, which will help me integrate into the capital market faster and build a network of contacts faster. "

Moreover, providing different investment plans for different companies can exercise my ability well, which is also a process of accumulation.

When I think the time is right, Bridgewater Investment Consulting will enter the field of capital investment. "

After listening, everyone admired this kind of talent with life planning!

Wu Guangyao said: "Very good life plan! Now there is an opportunity in front of you to become my partner; I bought 85% of the shares of Bridgewater with 6 million US dollars. After the completion of the new company procedures, I will Inject 100 million US dollars for investment. I don't know what you want?"

Ray Dario was in a mess, thinking about his gains and losses!

After a long time, Ray Dario asked: "Mr. Wu, how will the work of the new company be arranged, and how much autonomy do I have?"

Ray Dario was worried that he had completely become a subordinate, a laborer;

Although $6 million is very tempting, an investment of $100 million will allow you to quickly prove your talent;

But wouldn't I be no different than a trader if I didn't have much autonomy?

Wu Guangyao said with a smile: "I only focus on the general direction! For me, 100 million US dollars may be equivalent to your 10,000 US dollars. Will you consume a lot of energy for 10,000 US dollars?"

After getting the whole answer, Rey Dario relaxed in his heart!

What's more, as long as you prove your strength, even if Bridgewater is unhappy in the future, as long as you have enough fame, you can stop Bridgewater at any time and start a new one!

So, right now, I really need such an opportunity to prove myself!

Sensing that Ray Dario was already very excited, Wu Guangyao released a thunder;

"Wall Street's Tiger Fund Robertson is your predecessor. Back then, he was not as good as you. He was just an employee of a securities company!"

Rey Dario stood up in surprise, looking at Wu Guangyao in disbelief;

"You also dug Mr. Robertson?"

Wu Guangyao nodded with a smile!

"Mr. Wu, I am willing to cooperate!"

"Okay, my team will contact you later!"

"Thank you Mr. Wu for your trust!"

Wu Guangyao seemed to have thought of something again, and said: "By the way, while we are cooperating, I hope you can serve as a consultant in my family office; it doesn't need to take too much of your time, just discuss with us occasionally, or help I'm a little busy!"

Ray Dario said quickly: "Mr. Wu is serious, you are my boss, and I am willing to work for you!"

Good attitude, worth cultivating!

In his previous life, Rey Dario went bankrupt due to Mexico's debt crisis in 1982, but other than that, his performance was remarkable;

In this world, with Wu Guangyao as a prophet, just remind these important things!

After seeing off Robertson and Wu Xianlei, Wu Guangyao said to Yuan Tianfan with a smile: "Tianfan, you have to study hard and try to stand alone as soon as possible! The stage is huge, as long as you have the strength to challenge!"

Yuan Tianfan naturally knew that he had recently fallen into the eyes of his boss, and he had to vigorously cultivate himself!

This feeling of being valued is very good, so Yuan Tianfan said seriously: "I will enrich myself a lot, and as soon as possible, I can share the boss's worries like the seniors!"

Wu Guangyao patted him on the shoulder and said, "Proving yourself is the most important thing! Sharing worries for the boss is the idea of ​​ordinary talents; top talents work for the boss, so what they get is dividends and shares, isn't it? That salary!"

Wu Guangyao's words can be said generously. The executives under his management are not worth tens of millions, and they are not holding shares in the listed subsidiaries of the group company (the group company is not listed)!

Yuan Tianfan was shocked, he didn't expect his boss to value him so much, he was very moved!

Wu Guangyao was also very happy at this time!

The three major talents of the hedge fund in the previous life have all been recruited by him;

Robertson, Peter Lynch, and Ray Dalio were all drawn into his command;

And well-known talents in Hong Kong Island have also attracted several people, such as Yuan Tianfan, Hong Xiaolian, etc.;

These people can support their sons and even grandchildren!

Of course, this talent is far from enough, but don't forget, the Wu family has a 'Guangyao Family Office', which has networked the world's top talents;

At the same time, many people who cooperated with Wu Guangyao were also counselors of the Wu family;

For example, the intelligence group of Oriental Media, some university professors;

Wu Guangyao had a flash of inspiration, and sighed in his heart, how could he forget someone;

That is Huo Jianning who is finishing his studies in the United States!

If memory serves me right, Huo Jianning is completing his final doctoral studies at St. John's University in Minnesota at this time;

Thinking of this, Wu Guangyao planned to arrange for the family office to make contact first, and then Wu Guangyao would personally send out the invitation.

A Ph.D., even if I personally invite him, I don't think I'm lowering my status too much;

Not bad, justified!

One must know that when Huo Jianning returned to Hong Kong in his previous life, he was appointed by Li Chaoren as the accounting director of Cheung Kong Enterprises, which can be said to be a very high starting point!

In this life, if he returns to Hong Kong Island and doesn't come to his company, wouldn't his son miss out on a good helper?

Therefore, for the sake of my son and the prosperity of the Wu family, it is not a big deal for me to lower my status;

As long as he is a talent, he doesn't care what he does!
