Seeing Yang Jing's serious expression, Zhao Meng thought for a moment before saying, "Xiao Jing, first of all, I must thank you for your appreciation of me. Although it may seem a bit problematic to say this considering our ages, I sincerely thank you."
When Yang Jing heard Zhao Meng start handing out thank-you cards, his heart sank. "Uncle Zhao, do you mean you won't come to help me?"
Guo Dabao on the side laughed and said jokingly, "Old Zhao, if you miss this opportunity, you will never have it again. If you accept Xiao Jing's invitation and become the CEO of Julong Fund, I, Old Guo, will be your subordinate from now on. Old Zhao, haven't you always told me that you want to do something big? Now the opportunity is in front of you, why are you so weak? Old Zhao, just accept Xiao Jing's invitation."
Zhao Meng and Yang Jing both laughed at what Guo Dabao said, but after Zhao Meng finished laughing, he continued to say to Yang Jing: "I'm not sending you thank-you cards randomly, it's just that this matter came too suddenly, and the scale of your Julong Fund is so large that I'm worried that I, Zhao, am not up to the task. Even though I have held many positions in San Francisco and the United States, the amount of funds I have managed is at most tens of billions of dollars. You suddenly asked me to take over such a big business, and I'm really worried that I can't do it well."
This made Yang Jing somewhat relieved. "Uncle Zhao, you don't have to think this position is so difficult. In fact, after 40 years of development, the Dragon Fund has formed a set of internal work processes, and if you become the CEO, your main responsibility is to supervise my subordinates. This job was previously done by Old Mike. Oh, Old Mike is Mr. Mike Aller. He is my master's right-hand man and the first veteran to join the Dragon Fund. Over the years, Old Mike has never held any position in the Dragon Fund, but he has always been monitoring the entire Dragon Fund for my master as CEO. It would have been great if he continued to do this, but he is almost 90 years old this year. Do you think I can still bear to let such an old man continue to do this kind of thing?"
"Mike Aller? An old man who is almost 90 years old?" Zhao Meng frowned, as if remembering something. "Xiao Jing, did this old Mike you mentioned like to buy all kinds of precious antiques and artworks at major auction houses?"
Yang Jing nodded, "Yes, that's because my master asked Old Mike to do so. Those precious antique artworks that Old Mike bought from various auctions have now been transferred to me. If you want to see them, you can go to the Grand Canal Museum tomorrow. Those things are all there."
As soon as he said this, Zhao Meng slapped his forehead and said, "I've heard of this old Mike, and I heard about him from my father. He said that more than 30 years ago, there was a mysterious tycoon in the United States who wandered around major auctions all day long, and would buy anything he liked, no matter how much it cost. In that era, no one could compete with this mysterious figure, and no one could guess how much money he had. They only knew that this person was called Mike Aller, and as long as he made a move, basically no one else would get a share. Therefore, in major auctions in Europe and the United States in the 1980s and 1990s, this Mike Aller was the most mysterious figure. I didn't expect that he was actually a big shot in the Dragon Fund."
"Haha, according to Old Mike himself, he used the money given by my master to buy many precious antique artworks at major auctions around the world at all costs. See? This is the CEO of the Dragon Fund, who spends huge amounts of money everywhere all day long..."
Zhao Meng and Guo Dabao were both amused, and then they exchanged glances. Zhao Meng then said seriously: "Xiao Jing, if I accept your invitation, you must give me some time to get familiar with the Julong Fund, otherwise I am afraid that I will not do a good job and delay your work."
"Haha, Uncle Zhao, your choice is very wise. Don't worry, you can take as long as you need. After all, although this CEO can manage all the affairs of the Dragon Fund, there is really not much to do. Otherwise, why would we keep all those people under us? Your task is to assist me in managing the Dragon Fund. Once you are thoroughly familiar with the Dragon Fund, that's when you can start to show your talents."
"Okay, then I'll accept your invitation, Boss."
This name made the three of them laugh again.
Yang Jing said: "Uncle Zhao, to show my sincerity, when you start working, you will own 2% of the shares of the Dragon Fund."
Zhao Meng and Guo Dabao were stunned at the same time. Zhao Meng waved his hand and said, "No, Boss, this is too much. I haven't done anything, and you're giving me so many shares. I can't afford it."
Yang Jing smiled and waved his hand and said, "Uncle Zhao, don't rush to refuse. Uncle Guo, this share will also be used for you. As long as you accept my invitation, you will get the same shares as Uncle Zhao. I will not treat my own people unfairly."
