The fund manager that Lu Yuan had invited was just a low-level fund manager that he had randomly found at Carlyle International Investment Co. .
Carlyle International Investment Co. was a large investment bank headquartered in the United States. It was the highest ranked investment bank in the world in terms of assets under management.
Lu Yuan pretended to know nothing and placed the information that Huo Shaoheng had given him in front of the fund manager, he smiled and said, “This is the inheritance I received not long ago. I’ve been abroad for many years and have only just returned recently. I don’t know how much these things are worth. Can you help me calculate?”
The inheritance that Lu Yuan’s mother, Xie Ziyan, had left behind was only a small portion of cash. Most of it was investment assets.
For example, stocks, shares of private companies, bonds, antiques, jewelry, and precious metals.
And the private companies that he owned were mostly mineral resources from all over the world.
These things were not something that could be known with just a glance at the financial report. It required professional financial analysts to make an estimate.
The fund manager took the printed information from Lu Yuan with a professional smile. In his heart, he was still a little disdainful. He thought to himself, what era was it now that they still needed paper to print so old-fashioned? They were indeed people who had come back from abroad, it was much more domestic than China..
However, when he lowered his head and saw the brief description of the cash section on the first page of the document, he immediately felt awkward.
He wiped the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a dry smile,”… Mr. Lu, is this the inheritance you received? Can you provide a bank certificate? Is this the bank certificate for this part of the cash?”
Lu Yuan pointed at his own materials. “It’s all in there. Most of the cash is deposited in foreign banks, and a portion is transferred to domestic banks for daily expenses. Is there a problem?”
“No, no!”The man hurriedly waved his hand, but he still stood up, he nodded and said humbly, “But this amount of money is too big and exceeds my authority. I’ll ask our executive director and the chief analyst of the Pacific Rim Region to come and pick up your case.”
Lu Yuan did not mind and nodded. He leaned against the chair opposite the fund manager and raised his hand. “Go ahead.”
The fund manager was shocked by Lu Yuan’s attitude. He thought that he might have offended an “Invisible rich man”and did not even dare to complain in his heart. He left his office in a hurry and went to report to his superior.
In the capital society, everything was classified according to one’s status.
Investment banks, which were shining capital operation companies, were even more money-based.
The most obvious manifestation was in the customer’s rank.
Of course, the more money a customer had, the more important the rank was. The staff who managed the customers were also of higher rank.
According to the portion of assets that Lu Yuan had thrown out, the amount of cash deposits alone was enough for Carlyle to send an executive director and regional chief analyst to provide services for him.
Lu Yuan sat calmly in the small office of the fund manager. His expression was calm and natural. He was neither cold and domineering, nor warm and humble. It was completely impossible to guess what he was thinking.
Associate Director Jia looked at Lu Yuan through the surveillance screen. He twirled the pen in his hand and said with great interest, “This person is too imposing. Is there really no information on him?”
“The time is too short. We only found that he came back from abroad and had just inherited a fortune.”
“Abroad? which country? If it was abroad, would our company not be able to find out his background?”Associate Director Jia raised his eyebrows. “Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle. How Do You Support Departments Do Things?”
“Associate director Jia, we have found out about his overseas experience. It’s just very ordinary, nothing special.”That person hurriedly showed Lu Yuan’s overseas experience to associate director Jia, “Look, he went abroad to study in his early years and then naturally stayed overseas to work, rising all the way up. But after he reached the director level, he resigned and started his own small business.”
“Not long ago, he returned to the country and rested for a while. He didn’t continue working. Now it looks like he inherited the inheritance.”
Associate Director Jia flipped through the information sent by his subordinate and had a good idea. He teased, “Alright, there really is a mine at home. Go and ask demoness Yi if she’s free to meet a big client with me.”
The subordinate rushed to Yi Xinyan’s office and knocked on the door. “Miss Yi, a big client has arrived. Associate Director Jia is asking if you want to meet him together.”
Yi Xinyan saw that associate director Jia was the one who wanted her to go, so she did not ask further. “Alright, I have fifteen minutes.”
She packed her laptop and carried it to the meeting room.
Lu Yuan had already been invited from the fund manager’s office to a luxurious meeting room reserved for big clients.
Associate Director Jia was already waiting there, introducing their meeting room to Lu Yuan. He smiled and said, “There’s a special anti-eavesdropping device here. Don’t worry, our conversation is absolutely confidential and will not be stolen by any third party.”
Lu Yuan smiled and bowed slightly, saying, “It’s okay to hear it. I’m not faking it.”
Associate Director Jia could hardly hold back his smile.
Yi Xinyan pushed the door open and came in. She saw Lu Yuan sitting against the light. His half-smile was like a magnet, firmly attracting the attention of others and making it hard for them to look away.
His posture was not arrogant at all. Instead, he was very calm and very polite. However, there was a hint of strangeness and estrangement in his politeness.
It was this bit of strangeness and estrangement that made him seem even more unfathomable.
This was a capable man.
Yi Xinyan quickly came to a conclusion in her heart.
She had met many rich people, but ordinary rich people could not compare to this man’s imposing manner.
Although she still did not know this person’s true identity, Yi Xinyan could already tell that Lu Yuan’s level was not something that ordinary rich people could compare to.
The smile on her face became more sincere as she walked in with a dignified manner. She sat beside associate director Jia and extended her hand towards Lu Yuan, “Mr. Lu? I’m Yi Xinyan, an analyst from Carlyle Company. This is the first time we’ve met. Please take care of me.”
Lu Yuan’s gaze looked over and slowly slid from her beautiful face to her outstretched hand.
Her fingers were slender and fair, and her nails were trimmed correctly. She did not apply nail polish and looked fresh and clean.
Lu Yuan nodded and did not shake Yi Xinyan’s hand. He said with a faint smile, “Nice to meet you. Actually, the two of you don’t have to put on such a big show. I just want to know the valuation of my assets.”
Yi Xinyan and associate director Jia looked at each other and made up their minds to keep this big client’s assets under the management of their company.
“Mr. Lu, we will use all the resources of our company to provide you with the most professional service,”Yi Xinyan spoke. Her voice was a little hoarse, but it was not obvious, only a little low, it was like the voice of a female bass singer.
An ordinary person might sound pleasant to the ear, but Lu Yuan was not an ordinary person.
The moment he heard it, he knew that Yi Xinyan’s vocal cords had been injured, so there was a little abnormal low huskiness in her voice.
There was a slight difference between a natural female bass and a low voice caused by an injured vocal cord.
This kind of difference could normally only be detected with professional equipment.
However, Lu Yuan had received so much intensive training, and his hearing was sharper than the average person’s. This allowed him to determine whether the other party’s voice was normal without relying on professional equipment.
He smiled at Yi Xinyan and said, “Miss Yi, do you talk a lot to your clients every day?”
Yi Xinyan was stunned for a moment.”… It’s not that much, right? What’s wrong? Mr. Lu, if you have something to say, say it.”
“… It’s not that much, why would you say that your vocal cords are damaged?”Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully, “When your investment bank does business, don’t tell me that it’s all a bluff? I think I need to reconsider your professional abilities. I admire people who work hard, not people who only know how to talk big.”
Associate Director Jia was furious, but Lu Yuan’s assets were too tempting, so he could only suppress his anger, he smiled apologetically, “Mr. Lu, you’re worrying too much. Miss Yi is the best analyst in our company. She’s the best at value estimation and also has an actuary’s certificate. With her around, your valuation will definitely not be wrong!”
“So Powerful?”Lu Yuan seemed to have been convinced. He sized up Yi Xinyan again and praised with a smile, “I didn’t expect Miss Yi to be so young and beautiful, and have such strong business skills. It’s really rare.”
Yi Xinyan gently stroked the Hermes scarf around her neck with one hand, she smiled and said, “Mr. Lu’s observation is really sharp. “My throat was indeed injured. When I was young, I liked to eat fish, but it was stuck by a thorn. It was very serious, and I had to have surgery to remove the fish thorn. My vocal cords were damaged as a result, but it didn’t affect my speech.”
Lu Yuan showed a sympathetic look, “That’s a pity. But it’s also a blessing in disguise. Miss Yi’s voice is very nice. I apologize for what I said just now. I hope Miss Yi won’t take it to heart.”
“No, no,”Yi Xinyan said with a smile and mischievously blinked. “I’ll provide the best service and give you a valuation of your assets. I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!”
Only if the valuation went smoothly would she be able to further persuade Lu Yuan to let his company be the manager of Lu Yuan’s assets.
Investment Banks did business with these rich people.
Lu Yuan stood up. “Okay, I’ll leave this information here. You guys do the valuation first. I still have something to do, so I’ll leave first.”
The bait has been left, and it’s up to the fish to take the bait.
