Chapter 1285 The establishment of Maple Leaf Capital

"I also think time is a good thing."

Yang Qingzhi's words that time can give a consequential theory resonated with Ye Feng, because that was what Ye Feng thought about Zhang Lan and Kong Jingke before, but now he can't give an answer.

But after a few years, Ye Feng felt that he could give the answer. At the very least, he could give numbers that others could not even imagine. Many times, when a certain amount of money reaches a certain amount, it can also cause qualitative changes.

Then Ye Feng said to Yang Qingzhi apologetically: "It's a matter of the company. I can't help you now, so I can only rely on you."

Yang Qingzhi looked at Wen Yueqi who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "It's okay, Yueqi is now a very mature manager and can help me very well. Having her here this week has relieved me a lot of burden, otherwise The company framework could not be formed and operationalized so quickly.”

"Stop praising me."

Wen Yueqi said with a smile: "To be able to recruit people so quickly, they mainly come because of your reputation as a financial giant. I can only do management work, and the next main work will be left to you. Well, I don’t have that much face when it comes to external negotiations.”

"It's okay. You are responsible for the internal management, and I will handle all the external negotiations."

Yang Qingzhi smiled, full of high spirits, confidence and calmness, and his eyes were slightly brighter. After a year, he finally returned to Wall Street from Europe.

And Maple Leaf Capital has his shares in it.

Chen Huang was feeling a little excited as he watched the company take shape. In the past ten days, he not only witnessed the establishment of "Maple Leaf Capital", an asset management company of private equity investment funds, but also saw how influential Yang Qingzhi is on Wall Street. .

The Wall Street Journal actually described Yang Qingzhi as "The Return of the King of Wall Street" and "Warren Buffett of Private Equity". Is this an exaggeration?You know, Yang Qingzhi has been away from investment banking for a year.

Now a year later, he has returned, and he still has such a big influence. It can be said that he is awesome to the extreme.

In the past, Chen Huang felt that he was quite awesome. He was different from people like Chen Yiming and Yang Yanhui who were short-handed in the country. He didn't even bother to do the things they did.

He has always wanted to be someone like Wen Yueqi who is successful on Wall Street.

Now because of Ye Feng, he finally came to Wall Street. Not to mention that Obsidian Fund made a lot of money by shorting real estate subprime credit products. Now he also has his own company on Wall Street. Among Maple Leaf Capital, he is one of the four existing investors. One of the directors.

There are currently four directors, Yang Qingzhi, Ye Feng, Wen Yueqi, and him. As for Li Liang, he currently does not hold any position in this company. The reason is very simple.

He just didn't have their money in place, it was still in the Obsidian Fund.

At present, in Maple Leaf Capital, Yang Qingzhi has injected US$10 billion, Wen Yueqi and Ye Feng have injected US$2 million, and Chen Huang has injected US$5 million. Although this is said, it does not mean that Yang Qingzhi is the shareholder with the largest number of Maple Leaf Capital shares.

Because Yang Qingzhi, Ye Feng and others signed an agreement, that is, the three of them currently owe money to Maple Leaf Capital, which means that they will take the equity first and then make up the money. When the money from Obsidian Fund arrives one after another, they will all be injected into Maple Leaf Capital one after another. .

Maple Leaf Capital’s capital plate was initially set at US$50 billion.

Ye Feng talks less these days, and this is partly due to this. He feels that he can’t speak forcefully without money. Obviously Maple Leaf Capital is his own name spelled backwards, and he wants to make it bigger and stronger the most, so now he is injecting funds. The one with the most was actually Yang Qingzhi.

After thinking about it, Ye Feng said to Yang Qingzhi: "I will inject the money owed to Maple Leaf Capital as soon as the money from Obsidian Fund arrives."

"It's okay, there's no rush now."

Yang Qingzhi took out his cigarette, gave Ye Feng and Chen Huang a cigarette, and said: "Now the company is in its infancy, and it will take some time for them to find investment projects. In addition, when I come back to San Francisco, I will go and talk to you." Meeting with the top management of Hilton Hotel, there will be two or three rounds of negotiations, and then we will find a loan. Obsidian's funds have almost been withdrawn. As for if you want to take more shares, then you can do it as Maple Inc. Injection."

Chen Huang lit his cigarette and said with a headache: "I have never felt as poor as I do today. I am really poor."

"There is no other way. If you really want to spend money, you can spend any amount of money."

Wen Yueqi smiled and said to Chen Huang: "Aren't the steps you stand on and the circle you enter now different from before?" "That's true." Chen Huang became happy again after hearing this, and smiled at Ye Feng and Yang Qingzhi Said: "Then I have to thank my Brother Feng and Brother Yang. From now on, whether I eat soup or porridge, I'll have to look at you."

Ye Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Don't thank me, thank Brother Yang. I just hit it by mistake. Brother Yang is a real master. Didn't you read what the Wall Street Journal said about him? The Return of the King of Wall Street, Private Equity Buffett."

"What are you talking about, and Emperor Yang Qing? Isn't Emperor Yang Qing a great person?" Chen Huang said pretending to be serious.

"Yes, yes, there is also Emperor Yang Qing."

Ye Feng said with a smile, and then seeing Yang Qingzhi's helpless look, he stopped joking and asked: "By the way, Brother Yang, when are we going to San Francisco?"

"Tomorrow."

Yang Qingzhi thought for a while and said: "Maple? Inc holds shares in fcaebook. I will go with you tomorrow to set up the company framework there. As one of Maple Leaf Capital's global offices, I will run back and forth between the two sides. After a period of time, when we find a suitable senior manager, we will arrange for the company to be stationed there."

"Well, that's fine."

Ye Feng nodded. It can be said that Yang Qingzhi really helped him a lot after he came. Not only did the private equity fund he wanted to grow bigger have taken off, but Maple Inc., a shell company in San Francisco, was also revitalized.

After walking this far, how could Ye Feng not feel high-spirited?
But at the same time, thinking about Ye Feng in Zurich, he felt a little disappointed because there was no one to share it with. No matter how much money a person makes or how much power he has, he needs someone close to him to share it with.

Ye Feng felt lost for a moment, pursed his lips, and asked Yang Qingzhi: "Then do you have time to come back to China with me to take a look at the company in China? The company is now preparing to go public, and I want you to take a look at it for me. When the time comes for the IPO, I will also need you to help me give lectures on the tour."

Yang Qingzhi smiled bitterly: "You are trying to tire me out."

Ye Feng said with burning eyes: "Those who are capable work hard."

Yang Qingzhi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll see if I can coordinate the time then, because with the Hilton Hotel board of directors, I have to make time to meet with them as soon as possible to talk about the acquisition plan and see what they say. "

"Well, I won't waste your time. You can come back in two days when the time comes."

Ye Feng nodded. It was only at this time that Ye Feng's empty heart finally settled down a little. Suddenly, he felt that sometimes, it is good for people to be busy.

At least you won't have time to think about things while you're busy at work.

When leaving the office.

Wen Yueqi stopped Ye Feng with an inexplicable look in her eyes: "Congratulations, you have taken the first step to become the world's number one private equity fund."

Ye Feng was startled.

Then she thought about what she said to Wen Yueqi in China. At that time, Wen Yueqi had an incredible tone, thinking that she was overestimating her abilities. I didn't expect that she would actually say such a thing to herself today.

"Do you believe me?" Ye Feng smiled and asked.

"Five years ago, didn't anyone believe that you could reach this level?"

Wen Yueqi looked at Ye Feng and suddenly laughed: "At least you are on the road now, right? When Chen Huang sent me a text message telling me that you met Yang Qingzhi in Lucerne, I believed it."

Ye Feng looked at Wen Yueqi's smile and listened to her words, and suddenly there was a stirring of emotion in his heart. This was an indescribable feeling, recognition, or some other inexplicable emotion.
