Chapter 834: Chapter 347: Vision and Ambition

Sitting below and listening to the leaders blabbering non-stop is quite a painful affair.

However, sitting on the stage and holding meetings with subordinates is very satisfying.

This is a concentrated display of power, so most leaders are keen on holding small meetings for small matters and large meetings for big issues.

But to make meetings effective and efficient is indeed not easy; it requires a very high level of organizational management.

Han Lie did not indulge in the serious and focused atmosphere where everyone paid great attention, using a little over two minutes to clearly explain three matters, and then began roll call.

In summary, those three matters are roughly as follows—

First, follow my overall operational strategy, do not act on your own accord.

Second, those who stand out during the support and coordination process will have the opportunity to exercise more freedom.

Third, brainstorm collectively, do your duty, and ensure a perfect rollout of the company’s first and second products.

The vision drawn is not big, but the thoughts and direction are very clear.

"Alright, it’s your turn now, I’m all ears."

The subsequent roll call speeches were mainly aimed at getting everyone familiar with each other, while also once again clarifying individual scopes of responsibility and how to cooperate.

Leading off was Jiao Fangyan.

She was very well-prepared.

Introducing her resume, summarizing practical achievements, explaining responsibilities, elaborating on department management concepts, personal mid-to-long-term goals, and most importantly... she flattered Han Lie a lot.

Leaving out that last part, the whole speech was logically clear, thoughts were well-defined, and the words were earnest, quite impressive.

With her setting the example, everyone subsequently perked up, striving to showcase their own abilities.

Chu Hongfang, the research manager, is a hands-on type not very good at speaking, his speech lasted less than 5 minutes, and Han Lie immediately reminded him: "Speak for another 5 minutes, make it up to 10 minutes."

Chu Hongfang was stunned.

Han Lie smiled kindly: "If there’s nothing much to talk about work-wise, share some of your hobbies, or your prediction about the future domestic economic situation, anything is good, the main thing is to let everyone get a more direct understanding of you."

So Chu Hongfang reluctantly talked about macroeconomics, few could understand, but it did reveal a solid foundation and relatively broad view.

Following that, Deputy Manager Jin Minghui’s speech was more administrative.

Or it could be described as... more bureaucratic.

There were few substantial things, lots of clichés and empty talk, giving a somewhat slick impression.

To this, Han Lie provided no evaluation.

Just lightly mentioned: "Minghui, President Jin has high expectations for you, make sure to learn more from President Chu and President Jiao in the future..."

"Yes, President Han!"

Jin Minghui was very sensible, nodding respectfully, positioning himself correctly.

Huaqing’s Doctor Teng Hui and Wharton School’s Doctor Liu Yaohua, who only managed to snag positions as research team leaders, held no grievances about this situation.

Teng Hui’s character was more straightforward, when it came to personal goals, he candidly said—

"I hope through my efforts, dedication, and professional abilities, to help the company grow big and strong, and then someday in the future, impress President Han and gain a chance to participate in front-line engagements..."

What he meant by front-line engagements was different from Jiao Fangyan’s trading department manager.

He hoped to get a chance to manage a certain fund.

Handling billions in funds, making unilateral decisions in the market, and then securing substantial profit commissions.

Private equity can’t often reach the billions-scale like public funds, hence management income isn’t high, primarily relying on profit sharing.

However, correspondingly, private equity’s profit sharing is more flexible, the amount higher, under the same outstanding performance, income can be much greater than that of a public manager.

A top private fund manager could easily earn a billion in five years, a poor manager might lose all the principal, yet even for a poor grade manager, it’s not just anyone who can assume the role.

Under normal circumstances, this is a process of ongoing permission escalation.

For instance, initially, if an analyst or trader performs exceptionally, the manager might allocate a $5 million limit within the fund for them to operate independently.

Achieving outstanding results leads to further empowerment, poor results mean returning to your primary duties.

$5 million is a threshold, $10 million is another, $50 million, $100 million, $200 million... until building an independent team entirely controls a sum of money.

The expansion process of a fund company is essentially the process of discovering excellent managers.

Relying solely on Han Lie himself, how many products can he manage, how much capital?

"For the company to develop and grow, relying solely on myself is definitely not enough, so the opportunity you are expecting will definitely come, but the premise is to do your primary job well and let me see your potential..."

Han Lie casually sketched out a vision, and without dwelling, continued listening to other reports.

Liu Yaohua’s style was entirely different, very frank, very clear-headed.

"My personality and knowledge structure are more suitable for doing some macro analysis, judgments, preferring theoretical research.

So my preliminary thought on my work goal is to cooperate with Manager Chu, establish a long-term tracking observation working group for the macro economies of the world’s mainstream countries.

Initially, we can build the framework rather loosely, roughly setting up a world economic model.

Using this to assess the impact and influence of the current US Dollar-based global economic cycle on the domestic economy structure, aiming to gain a sense and judgment advantage over peers...
