HSBC.
Inside the CEO's office.
Several high-ranking officials sat on the sofa, and the young man standing in front of them reporting the situation was Ma Guoliang.
At this moment, the office was completely silent.
Everyone was stunned by the betting agreement.
"He... he really said that?"
Mark found it unbelievable, even absurd.
They dared to propose such a betting agreement.
Is Chen Dong overconfident in his trading abilities?
It wasn't just him.
The senior executives, including the vice president, directors, investment manager, and risk control manager, all had blank expressions.
This is insane!
"Yes, President, that's what Mr. Chen Dong said."
He also said that these terms could be written into the performance-based agreement.
Ma Guoliang took in everyone's expressions. On the surface, he was extremely respectful, but inwardly, he was absolutely thrilled.
Look at these foreigners, all of them so arrogant and self-important. Now they're dumbfounded, aren't they?
I'm telling you.
Not all Chinese people will follow your ideas.
Smack! Smack! Smack!
It sounded as if countless slaps were being delivered inside the room.
In this world, no one is born equal.
Those countries that symbolize freedom and equality.
They're all stories made up in fairy tales.
Especially in Hong Kong in the early 1990s.
Discriminatory behavior is prevalent in all walks of life.
It's almost impossible to see Chinese faces in senior government or corporate leadership positions.
There are occasional exceptions, but those are the result of a change of nationality.
Seeing the shocked expressions on these foreigners' faces, in a word, it was worth it!
After receiving Ma Guoliang's affirmative answer, Mark's gaze briefly met that of several directors in the air.
Several directors nodded slightly.
Upon seeing this.
Mark's gaze then fell upon the investment manager standing to the side, and he asked a question.
"Jerry, you're the head of the investment department, what's your take on this?"
Upon hearing this...
Jerry stood up, bowed to everyone, and said.
"President, esteemed board members."
"A 25% annualized return, I believe you all understand what that means."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
They understood more than just...
HK$1 billion is no small sum.
At this scale, there is still a 25% return rate.
This is clearly like being hit by a pie falling from the sky.
"Since Mr. Chen Dong is willing to take on the risks, I agree to sign a performance-based agreement with him."
Upon hearing this, Mark added.
"If everyone has no objections, let's vote directly."
"Please raise your hand if you agree to sign a performance-based agreement with Mr. Chen Dong."
As he spoke, Mark had already raised his right hand.
Clearly, he strongly supports signing a performance-based agreement.
one.
two.
......
After everyone raised their hands in agreement, Mark announced loudly.
"Okay, the matter of signing a performance-based agreement with Mr. Chen Dong is approved unanimously."
After saying that.
Mark's gaze swept over everyone, finally settling on Ma Guoliang, and he said with a smile.
"Manager Ma, from now on, you are the manager of the customer service department. I will have the head of human resources issue a notice later."
"Thank you, President. Thank you, fellow board members."
Ma Guoliang was overjoyed and quickly thanked him.
The people around offered their blessings.
"Hahaha... Congratulations, congratulations."
"Congratulations on Manager Ma's promotion."
"......"
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Mark continued.
“Manager Ma, although you have been promoted, you still need to continue to follow up with Mr. Chen Dong. Among all of us here, only you and Mr. Chen Dong are familiar with each other.”
Upon hearing this, Ma Guoliang gave a wry smile.
But after thinking about it, he felt relieved.
"Yes, Mr. President."
......
Two days later.
Chen Dong officially signed a performance-based agreement with HSBC.
The terms and conditions are roughly divided into two parts.
The rights and obligations that Chen Dong can enjoy.
HSBC will provide HK$1 billion for a period of one year.
During this period, no interference shall be allowed with any of Chen Dong's actions.
In addition, priority is given to investment channels and coordination among securities firms.
This is another reason why Chen Dong chose HSBC.
The content of the performance-based agreement is also very simple.
The investment amount is HK$1 billion, before reaching a 25% return.
Chen Dong will not participate in any profit sharing, and the validity period is one year.
If it exceeds 25%, the excess portion will all become Chen Dong's profit.
In addition, if the funds incur losses, and these losses reach 5%, the losses will be significant.
HSBC has the right to terminate the betting agreement and require Chen Dong to make up for the losses.
A performance-based agreement and a loan are two different things.
If Chen Dong only earns 10% profit this year, failing to reach the 25% dividend threshold.
That means he worked for HSBC for free that year.
The remaining 15% does not require him to make up for it.
Of course, what if there are losses?
Chen Dong is needed to use his own money to fill this hole.
At the same time, the risk control department will terminate the agreement in advance to prevent the risk from escalating.
Look at it from a normal person's perspective.
Once this betting agreement is signed, Chen Dong will be at a disadvantage, while HSBC will benefit.
Even if Chen Dong's trading skills are extraordinary, the prerequisite is still that the rate of return reaches 25%.
