After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 671 Variables
"Everyone seemed to sign the papers particularly quickly this time."

As the last person closed the folder, Lu Liang glanced down at his watch; just seven and a half minutes had passed.

He smiled broadly, made a joke, and then confirmed again, "Are you sure you don't have any questions you'd like to ask?"

Guo Changguang rolled his eyes: "President Lu, hurry up and pack your things, let's move on to the next topic, everyone's waiting."

The $41.28 billion in revenue is alarming, and the $14.448 billion in management fees is also painful, but these are established facts and things of the past.

The reason why so many people have come today is ultimately because Tianxing Quantitative is about to be established in Hong Kong.

With assets under management of at least tens of billions of dollars, Lu Liang's keen market sense, and world-class AI models.

The combined benefits of the two should be greater than the sum of its parts (1+1>2), which is their true intention.

Lu Liang chuckled: "President Guo, you're still so impatient."

He turned his head and gestured for Xu Jiawei and Sun Yutao to retrieve the signed and authorized settlement report.

After the two parties retrieved the contract, Lu Liang said, "The remaining funds of the fourth private equity fund after deducting management fees will be returned, along with the principal, to the bank account provided at the time of subscription within the next three working days."

"That's all for now. Let's talk about something that everyone is interested in."

Lu Liang looked at Liang Wenhui, gesturing for him to stand up, and introduced him to everyone: "Everyone, this is Mr. Liang Wenhui, General Manager of Huanfang Technology."

"Next, Tianxing will cooperate with Huanfang to establish Tianxing Quant in Hong Kong, focusing on quantitative trading in the international market."

Lu Liang would pause after each sentence because there were many international friends and their translators present, and translation would take time.

"Hello everyone, nice to meet you all. I am Liang Wenhui from Magic Square Technology." Liang Wenhui bowed and greeted them, his face full of restraint.

The people present were all domestic and foreign capital giants or business leaders, and the total assets they managed would be no less than one trillion US dollars.

After all, even the seemingly most inconspicuous Xiao Wang is the chairman of Panda Interactive Entertainment, a company listed in the US with a market value of approximately $40 billion.

Although Li Junwei is also included, he is not included in Liang Wenhui's calculations because he, like Xu Jiawei and Sun Yutao, is Lu Liang's subordinate (soon to be).

Huanfang, which manages assets of 3 billion yuan, had a final settlement of less than 3 billion yuan, which, converted to US dollars, amounted to just over 400 million yuan. Undoubtedly, this made Xiao Kalami, the least prominent figure present.

If it weren't for his collaboration with Lu Liang, Liang Wenhui probably wouldn't even have been able to get into the conference room.

"Mr. Liang, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Mr. Liang, you are young and promising."

"Mr. Liang, I've heard that your company is developing AI models. Our company is also involved in this field. Perhaps we could have a private chat."

To Liang Wenhui's surprise, the enthusiasm shown by the seemingly aloof and powerful figures far exceeded his expectations.

Even Flannery of General Motors, a frequent Fortune 100 company, smiled and handed him his business card: "Liang, if you have time later, let's talk?"

Liang Wenhui was taken aback, then quickly bowed and accepted the business card with both hands: "Okay, okay, okay, Mr. Frannery."

Seeing this, some people were not willing to be left behind and even tried to go around most of the conference table to send an invitation to Liang Wenhui.

Boom~boom~
Suddenly, there was a knock on the wooden conference table.

Lu Liang narrowed his eyes, his gaze unfriendly: "Everyone, are we still going to talk about the Tianxing Quantification matter?"

He looked at Lei Jun, Guo Changguang, Su Shimin, and Frannery—these bastards practically treated him like he was dead.

Especially Lei Jun,
Lu Liang had disliked him for a long time.

While he was busy working hard in the financial market, he would visit Tianxing Park every now and then.

Fortunately, Wang Xiaofeng saw through Boss Lei's intentions and stopped him at the gate, taking him to the office building.

Otherwise, Tianxing might follow in Geely's footsteps and have one of its technical teams poached by Lei Jun.

Although they believe their salaries and benefits are the best in the industry, they can't resist the constant concern of those who want to mourn them.

Lei Jun smiled and remained calm, as if nothing had happened.

More than two thousand years ago, Cao Cao set an example: when he couldn't find a beautiful woman, the best option was to simply steal someone else's wife.

Just like when you go to the supermarket to buy fruit, if you can't tell whether a piece of fruit is good or bad, you can just take it from someone else's shopping cart and you can't go wrong.

Although Lei Jun is not interested in women, the same applies to talented people.

Huanfang is a company that has been established for just over three years and has a small reputation, yet it is valued so much by Lu Liang, who even plans to jointly establish Tianxing Quantitative Trading in Hong Kong, focusing on quantitative trading in the international market.

Lei Jun didn't understand Magic Square or Liang Wenhui, but he trusted Lu Liang's judgment.

The key is that it's a company that researches and develops AI; quantitative funds are just a departmental business, which makes it hard for him not to be interested.

However, we still need to give Lu Liang some face; it would be too rude to poach him right in front of everyone.

Two crisp sounds, followed by a soft shout, silenced the conference room once more. "Since this is our first foray into quantitative trading, to be on the safe side, the initial fundraising target is tentatively set at ten billion US dollars."

Lu Liang turned his gaze away from Liang Wenhui, gesturing for him to sit down, and began to discuss the upcoming arrangements for the quantitative fund.

He simply concealed the billions of dollars provided by JPMorgan, because in addition to JPMorgan, he also wanted to attract other Wall Street capital.

After all, domestic relationships no longer require Lu Liang's deliberate cultivation; developing international relationships has become the top priority.

However, if we consider a management scale of 200 billion, the proportion of domestic institutions will be very low.

In the end, it probably won't exceed 30% of the total, which doesn't sound very good to say.

"The pricing model remains the same as before: 3+20N..."

As soon as Lu Liang finished speaking, someone interrupted, "Mr. Lu, you also said that Tianxing has just entered the international market for quantitative trading, and for the sake of stability, the initial fundraising scale is only tens of billions of US dollars. So shouldn't the management fee collection model also be changed?"

"The starting point for taxation is an annualized rate of 30%. If it's below 60%, only 20% of the total profit will be collected. Mr. Liu, do you have any objections?"

Lu Liang squinted at the other party. President Liu smiled awkwardly and quickly said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't hear you clearly just now. Please continue, President Lu."

It's never a bad thing to give it a try. If you can save a little, you can earn more in the future.

Lu Liang chuckled, seeing through the other party's little scheme at a glance. When dealing with these old foxes, you have to stand firm and not give an inch. If you back down even a little, they will take advantage of you without hesitation.

He added, "This subscription plan will be based on an intention-based subscription. Interested parties can fill in the amount now and submit the subscription intention form to our General Manager Sun later. We will then conduct random selection."

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned.

Because it's called random, it's actually a behind-the-scenes operation; Lu Liang can let whoever he wants subscribe buys the shares.

However, they adapted to it; this was Lu Liang's style of doing things, which also showed that, for the sake of prudence, it was all just nonsense.

Lu Liang is still very confident that the soon-to-be-established Tianxing Quantitative will continue the glory of Tianxing Private Equity.

They began discussing with their assistants or contacting investors one by one, filling out an amount that Lu Liang could accept as much as possible.

While a larger subscription share is certainly better, Lu Liang might not adopt it if it's too much, given that it's only a few hundred billion US dollars.

Liang Wenhui observed the expressions on everyone's faces. The elation he had felt from being fawned over had vanished.

The reason so many people wanted to get to know him wasn't because of his amazing magic square technique, nor because they admired magic squares.

They only became optimistic because Lu Liang was optimistic about it.

A ninety-minute meeting,
Time flies, and it's already noon.

Lu Liang asked Sun Yutao to collect all the subscription intention forms, invited everyone to go downstairs for lunch, and said, "In order not to waste everyone's precious time, all subscription results will be announced before 5 pm today."

He glanced at Wilson, who nodded slightly and smiled in return. When he heard that it was only tens of billions of dollars, he understood Lu Liang's intention, so he pretended to fill out a letter of intent to purchase.

The two exchanged glances, which many people noticed, leading to the interpretation that Lu Liang was planning to favor foreign capital this time.

Shen Peng sighed and said to Zhu Hu, "Let's go down and see what good food we can get. We should eat our fill, because we probably won't get any this time."

Zhu Hu said smugly, "Sequoia definitely won't get a share, but we at Jinsha River are a different story."

He has such a good relationship with Lu Liang, I believe Liangzi will still give him some face and give up a subscription share of one or two hundred million.

"A petty person who has achieved success," Shen Peng said irritably.

While domestic investors were only slightly disappointed, the heads of foreign investment institutions looked rather grave.

"How come Lu Liang is hanging out with Wilson again?"

Schwarzman frowned, sensing something was wrong.

While JPMorgan cannot be allowed to fail, as this would trigger a global financial crisis, it is possible to cripple it and allow it to slowly decline.

Cannibalism

This has always been a mainstream drama on Wall Street.

JPMorgan, which has a guaranteed loss of $200 billion this quarter, has become a prime target for many.

Everyone is waiting for the Q3 report to be released so they can launch a full-scale attack and feast on it.

However, Wilson is hanging out with Lu Liang again, and their relationship seems to be even better than before.

This variable,

This is at least something Schwarzman wouldn't want to see.
