The fund manager Lu Yuanyue met was just a low-level fund manager randomly found at Carlyle International Investment Co., Ltd.
Carlyle International Investment Co., Ltd. is a large investment bank headquartered in the United States. It is the highest-ranked investment bank in the world in terms of assets under management.
Lu Yuan pretended not to understand anything, put the information Huo Shaoheng gave him in front of the fund manager, and said with a smile: "This is the inheritance I just received not long ago. I have been abroad for many years and I just came back recently. I don’t know how much these things are worth, can you help me calculate them?”
Of the inheritance left by Lu Yuan's mother, Xie Ziyan, cash only accounts for a small part, and most of it is investment assets.
Examples include stocks, shares of private companies, and bonds, as well as antiques, jewelry, and precious metals.
Most of the private companies in which he owns shares are mineral resources around the world.
The value of these things cannot be known by just looking at the financial report. They require professional financial analysts to estimate.
The fund manager took the printed information from Lu Yuan with a professional smile, feeling a little contemptuous in his heart. He thought about how old he was, and printing on paper was so old-fashioned. Sure enough, he was someone who came back from abroad. There is too much soil in the country...
But when he lowered his head and saw the brief description of cash on the first page of the document, he immediately felt embarrassed.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a dry smile: "...Mr. Lu, is this your inheritance? Can you provide a bank certificate? Is it the bank certificate for this part of the cash?"
Lu Yuan pointed to his materials, "It's all in there. Most of the cash is stored in foreign banks, and part of it is transferred to domestic banks for daily expenses. Is there any problem?"
"No, no!" The man waved his hands hurriedly, but still stood up, nodded and said: "But the amount you asked is too large and exceeds my scope of authority. I will ask our executive director and chief analyst of the Pacific Rim region. Come take your case."
Lu Yuan nodded indifferently, sat on the seat opposite the fund manager, raised his hand, "Please."
The fund manager was frightened by Lu Yuan's posture and thought that he might have offended an "invisible rich man". He didn't even dare to complain in his heart. He left his office in a panic and went to report to his superiors.
In a capitalist society, everything is graded according to net worth.
Capital-operated companies like investment banks use money to speak even more.
The most obvious manifestation is in the level of customers.
Of course, the more money a customer has, the higher the level of importance, and the higher the level of the staff who deal with such customers.
According to the assets sold by Lu Yuan, the amount of cash deposits alone is enough for Carlyle to dispatch an executive director and regional chief analyst to provide services to him.
Lu Yuan sat leisurely in the small office of the fund manager, with a calm and natural expression on his face. He was neither cold and domineering nor enthusiastic and humble. It was completely unclear what he was thinking.
Deputy Director Jia looked at Lu Yuan through the surveillance screen, spinning his pen in his hand, and said with great interest: "This man is so impressive. Is it true that we can't find any information about him?"
"The time was too short. I only found out that he came back from abroad and had just inherited an inheritance."
"Abroad? Which country? If it were abroad, our company would not be able to find out his origins?" Deputy Director Jia raised his eyebrows, "Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. How do you support departments do things?"
"Director Jia, I found out about Lu Yuan's overseas experience, but it's very ordinary and nothing special." The man hurriedly put Lu Yuan's overseas experience in front of Deputy Director Jia, "You see, he studied abroad in his early years, and then stayed and worked abroad as a matter of course. , I was promoted all the way, but after I became director, I resigned and started my own small business.”
"I returned to China not long ago, took a break and did not continue working. Now it seems that I have inherited a legacy."
Deputy Director Jia looked through the information sent by his subordinates and felt confident. He joked: "Okay, as expected, I have a mine at home. Go ask Witch Yi to see if she is free, and come with me to see the boss. client."
The subordinate hurriedly went to Yi Xinyan's office, knocked on the door and asked: "Miss Yi, a big customer has arrived. Deputy Director Jia asked if you would like to meet him together."
Seeing that it was Deputy Director Jia who wanted her to go, Yi Xinyan didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, I have fifteen minutes."
She packed up her laptop and carried it to the conference room.
Lu Yuan has been invited from the fund manager's office to the luxurious conference room dedicated to major clients.
Deputy Director Jia was already waiting here and was introducing their conference room to Lu Yuan. He said with a smile: "There is a special anti-eavesdropping device here. Don't worry, our conversation will be absolutely confidential and will not be stolen by any third party."
Lu Yuan smiled, bowed slightly and said, "It doesn't matter if you hear it, I didn't cheat."
Deputy Director Jia's smile was almost unbearable.
Yi Xinyan pushed the door open and came in. She saw Lu Yuan sitting against the light, with a half-smiling expression that was like a magnet, firmly attracting other people's attention and making it impossible to turn away.
And his posture was not arrogant at all. Instead, he was very calm and very polite, but there was a bit of unfamiliarity and estrangement in his politeness.
It is this unfamiliarity and estrangement that makes him even more inscrutable.
This is a capable man.
Yi Xinyan quickly came to a conclusion in her heart.
She has met many rich people, but ordinary rich people cannot compare with this man's aura.
Although she still doesn't know the true identity of this person, Yi Xinyan can already tell that Lu Yuan's level is not comparable to that of ordinary rich people.
The smile on her face was a little more sincere. She walked in dignifiedly, sat next to Deputy Director Jia, and stretched out her hand towards Lu Yuan, "Mr. Lu? I'm Yi Xinyan, an analyst at Carlyle Company. This is our first meeting. , please take care of me."
Lu Yuan's eyes looked over and slowly slid from her beautiful face to her outstretched hand.
The fingers are slender and white, the nails are trimmed correctly, no nail polish is applied, and they look fresh and clean.
Lu Yuan nodded, without shaking Yi Xinyan's hand, and said with a smile: "Nice to meet you. Actually, you two don't need to fight so hard. I just want to know the valuation of my assets."
Yi Xinyan and Deputy Director Jia looked at each other and made up their minds to keep this big client's assets in their company for management.
"Mr. Lu, we will use all the resources of our company to provide you with the most professional service." Yi Xinyan spoke. Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was not obvious. It just seemed a little low, like a contralto. The voice of a singer speaking.
It sounds pleasant to ordinary people, but Lu Yuan is not ordinary people.
As soon as he heard it, he knew that Yi Xinyan's vocal cords had been injured, so her voice had an abnormal hoarseness.
There is a slight difference between a natural alto and a bass caused by injury to the vocal cords.
Generally speaking, this difference can only be detected with professional instruments.
But Lu Yuan had received so much high-intensity training, and his own ears were more sensitive than ordinary people, that he could judge whether the other party's voice was normal without relying on professional instruments.
He looked at Yi Xinyan with a smile and said, "Miss Yi, do you say a lot to your customers every day?"
Yi Xinyan was stunned for a moment, "...it's not a lot, right? What's wrong? Mr. Lu, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"... It's not a lot, so why are you talking about damaged vocal cords?" Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully, "Do you, an investment bank, do business entirely by words? I think I need to consider your professional abilities again. I appreciate those who are immersed in doing things. People, not just talkers."
Deputy Director Jia was furious, but Lu Yuan's assets were too tempting. He had to endure his anger and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, you are worrying too much. Miss Yi is the best analyst in our company. She She is best at value estimation and has a certificate as an actuary. With her here, your valuation will definitely be correct!”
"So powerful?" Lu Yuan seemed to be convinced. He looked Yi Xinyan up and down again and praised with a smile: "I didn't expect that Miss Yi is so young and beautiful and has such strong professional ability. It's really rare."
Yi Xinyan stroked the small square Hermès silk scarf she wore around her neck with one hand, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lu's observation is really keen. My throat was indeed injured. I liked eating fish when I was a child, but it got stuck on the thorns. , it was very serious, and I had to have surgery to remove the fish bone, which damaged my vocal cords, but it did not affect my speech."
Lu Yuan showed a sympathetic look, "That's a pity. But it's a blessing in disguise. Miss Yi's voice is very nice. I apologize for what I just said. I hope Miss Yi won't be offended."
"No, no," Yi Xinyan said with a smile, winking mischievously, "I will provide the best service and value your assets to your satisfaction!"
Only if the valuation goes smoothly, can she further convince Lu Yuan to let their company be the manager of Lu Yuan's assets.
Investment banks are engaged in the business of these wealthy people.
Lu Yuan stood up and said, "Okay, I'll leave this information here, and you guys will evaluate it first. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
The bait has been left, and it’s the fish’s fault if it doesn’t take the bait.
