After hearing Mike Aller's introduction, Yang Jing finally understood what kind of person this David Anderson was.
Such people usually have high professional ethics and excellent business skills, but they are often not very flexible. It is absolutely fine to let such people do a job they are proficient in, but if they are to be the leader of a company, I am afraid they are not up to the task.
A company leader does not necessarily need to have excellent business capabilities or professional qualities, but must have good communication skills.
What does a leader do? A leader is a manager. Since he is a manager, he will have to deal with people below him frequently. Especially when dealing with conflicts between people below him, it is necessary for the manager to have extremely good communication skills. People who are stubborn often do the wrong thing with good intentions.
Yang Jing shook his head and said, "Mike, David is not suitable to be a CEO. He can be the company's CIO (Chief Investment Officer)."
Mike Aller smiled and gave Yang Jing a thumbs up. "Boss, I actually recommended David to you because I wanted him to be the CIO. With him, the Dragon Fund's investment operations will definitely be no problem. However, compared to you, David is still far behind."
Yang Jing accepted this little flattery calmly and said with a smile: "David Anderson can serve as the Chief Investment Officer of the Dragon Fund, but I still have to directly command some important investment actions."
"Haha, Boss, of course. You are the boss. With you personally taking action, we will surely be able to inflict great damage."
Yang Jing waved his hand and said, "We are not going to talk about investment today. Do you have anyone else?"
"Well, there is one more person. If this old guy is willing to join us, it will definitely be of great help to our Dragon Fund."
Yang Jing nodded and signaled Mike Aller to continue.
"This old guy is a little older than me, from New Orleans. I have known him since I was in my thirties, and we have maintained a good relationship until now. His name is Henry Williams, and he used to be the CHO (Chief Human Resources Officer) of Lehman Brothers. But unfortunately, he had a car accident last year, which resulted in the amputation of his right leg. Since then, he has been idle at home."
"Amputation?" Yang Jing frowned.
“Boss, although Henry had an amputation, he has installed a prosthesis. When he puts on pants and walks, you can hardly tell that there is something wrong with his leg.”
"Then why didn't he go back to work at Lehman Brothers?"
Mike Aller smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Lehman Brothers gave up on Henry."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jing understood everything.
As the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, Lehman Brothers was very strong. However, the company was a bit cold-blooded, especially in its treatment of internal employees. It was well-known in the industry for its cold-bloodedness.
Later, during the subprime mortgage crisis, Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, and many people who had left Lehman Brothers applauded and celebrated. This is enough to prove that Lehman Brothers was indeed lacking in some aspects.
Mike Aller looked at Yang Jing and said, "Boss, I hope you can invite Henry over. Maybe you don't know that Henry not only has profound attainments in management, but also has very strong professional knowledge. In comparison, David is not even as good as Henry. Mr. Graham, you must know him well, right?"
Yang Jing nodded. Of course he knew Benjamin Graham. This economic master, who was respected as the father of securities analysis, had an unparalleled status in the global economic world. The stock god Buffett was the disciple of this master.
"Boss, there is something I must tell you. When Henry was studying at Columbia Business School, he studied under Mr. Graham together with Warren Buffett. Yes, the Warren Buffett who controls Berkshire Hathaway."
These words made Yang Jing shudder. Although Warren Buffett is now quite famous in the United States, he is far from being the world's richest man in the future. Moreover, Buffett is not nicknamed "the God of Stocks" now, but this does not mean that Buffett is not good enough.
And this Mr. Henry Williams is actually a fellow student of Buffett, and he learned from Master Benjamin Graham. He can also serve as CHO in a large investment bank like Lehman Brothers, which is enough to prove his ability.
Yang Jing let out a long sigh and said, "Mike, this Henry must be taken down as soon as possible. The position of CEO of the Dragon Fund belongs to him. When you talk to him, you can explain the details of the Dragon Fund to him, including the funds currently controlled by the Dragon Fund. Well, as for the source of these funds, if he wants to know, you can also tell him, but you must sign a confidentiality agreement before you can tell him."
"As for Mr. David Anderson, you can tell him that as long as he is willing to come and serve as the Chief Investment Officer of the Dragon Fund, the funds he can control will be as high as 5 billion US dollars! As long as he comes to serve as the CIO of the Dragon Fund, there will be several large projects for him to operate immediately."
Hearing Yang Jing's words, Mike Aller said in shock: "Boss, are you really going to tell Henry and David all these things? Aren't you afraid..."
"Haha, there's nothing to be afraid of. The Dragon Fund was hidden behind the scenes before, and it still needs to be hidden behind the scenes now. Only the seven offshore companies appear in the front. Of course, as I said just now, whether it's Henry or David, if they want to know all the information about the Dragon Fund, they must sign a high-level confidentiality agreement."
