The fund manager that Lu Yuan had made an appointment with was just a low-level fund manager that he had casually found at Carlyle International Investment Co., Ltd.
Carlyle International Investment Co., Ltd. was a large investment bank headquartered in the United States. It was ranked the highest in the world in terms of assets under management.
Lu Yuan pretended not to understand anything and placed the information that Huo Shaoheng had given him in front of the fund manager. He smiled and said, "This is the inheritance that I just received not long ago. I've been abroad for many years and just came back recently. I don't know how much these things are worth. Can you help me calculate? "
In the inheritance left by Lu Yuan's mother, Xie Ziyan, cash only accounted for a small portion. Most of it was investment assets.
For example, stocks, private company shares, bonds, antiques, jewelry, and precious metals.
Most of the private companies that he owned shares in were mineral resources from all over the world.
The value of these things could not be determined just by looking at the financial report. It required a professional financial analyst to estimate.
The fund manager took the printed information from Lu Yuan's hand with a professional smile. He still felt a little contemptuous in his heart. He thought to himself, What era is this? It's so old-fashioned to print on paper. As expected, people who came back from abroad are much more old-fashioned than people in China …
However, when he lowered his head and saw the brief description of cash on the first page of the document, he immediately felt embarrassed.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief and said with a dry laugh, "Mr. Lu, is this your share of the inheritance? Can you provide me with a bank certificate? Is this the bank certificate of this cash? "
Lu Yuan pointed at his materials. "They're all inside. Most of the cash is deposited in foreign banks, and a portion of it 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 bowed as he said, "But your amount is too large. It's beyond my scope of authority. I'll ask our executive director and the chief analyst of the Pacific Rim region to take over your case."
Lu Yuan nodded nonchalantly. He leaned against the chair opposite the fund manager and raised his hand. "Go ahead."
The fund manager was frightened by Lu Yuan's attitude. He thought that he might have provoked an "invisible tycoon". He did not even dare to complain in his heart. He left his office in a panic and went to report to his superior.
In a capitalistic society, everything was ranked according to one's wealth.
Investment banks, which were obviously capital-operated companies, spoke with money.
The most obvious manifestation was the level of the customers.
Of course, the more money a customer had, the higher the level of importance. Therefore, the higher the level of the staff who took care of such customers.
According to the assets that Lu Yuan had thrown out, just looking at the amount of cash deposit, it was enough for Carlyle to send out an executive director and a regional chief analyst to provide services for him.
Lu Yuan sat calmly in the fund manager's small office. His expression was calm and natural. He was neither cold nor domineering, nor warm and humble. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking.
Deputy Director Jia looked at Lu Yuan through the surveillance screen. She spun the pen in her hand and said with great interest, "This person is too arrogant. Can't we really find any information about him?"
"The time was too short. I only found out that he came back from abroad and had just inherited a fortune."
"Abroad? Which country? If he was overseas, how could our company not find out where he came from? "Deputy Director Jia raised an eyebrow." Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will always be victorious. How do you support departments work? "
"Director Jia, I've found out about his overseas experience. It's just very ordinary. I can't see anything special about it." The person quickly placed Lu Yuan's overseas experience in front of Deputy Director Jia. "Look, he went abroad to study in his early years, and then naturally stayed abroad to work. He was promoted all the way, but after he became a director, he resigned and started his own small business."
"He returned to China not long ago and rested for a while. He didn't continue to work. Now it seems that he inherited a fortune. "
Deputy Director Jia flipped through the information sent by his subordinate and felt confident. He teased, "Alright, he really has a mine at home. Go ask Demon Girl Yi if she's free to come with me to meet the big client. "
The subordinate quickly went to Yi Xinyan's office, knocked on the door, and asked, "Miss Yi, there's a big client. Deputy Director Jia asked if you want to meet him together."
Yi Xinyan saw that it was Deputy Director Jia who wanted her to go, so she didn't ask further. "Okay, I have 15 minutes."
She packed up her laptop and carried it to the conference room.
Lu Yuan had already been invited from the fund manager's office to the luxurious conference room for big clients.
Deputy Director Jia was already waiting here. He was introducing their conference room to Lu Yuan and said with a smile, "There's a special anti-eavesdropping device here. Don't worry, our conversation is absolutely confidential and won't be eavesdropped by any third party."
Lu Yuan smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "It doesn't matter if you hear it. I'm not lying."
Deputy Director Jia almost couldn't hold back his smile.
At this moment, 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 others' attention, making it impossible for them to turn their eyes away.
His posture was not arrogant at all. Instead, he was very calm and very polite, but there was a hint of strangeness and estrangement in his politeness.
It was this bit of strangeness and estrangement that made him appear even more unfathomable.
This was a capable man.
Yi Xinyan quickly came to a conclusion in her heart.
She had seen many rich people, but ordinary rich people couldn't compare to this man's aura.
Although she didn't know this person's true identity, Yi Xinyan could already tell that Lu Yuan's level wasn't something an ordinary tycoon could compare to.
The smile on her face became more sincere. She walked in in a dignified manner and sat next to Deputy Director Jia. She reached out her hand to Lu Yuan. "Mr. Lu? I'm Yi Xinyan, an analyst from the Carlyle Company. It's our first time meeting. 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 properly trimmed. She didn't wear any nail polish, so she looked fresh and clean.
Lu Yuan nodded and didn't shake Yi Xinyan's hand. He smiled faintly and said, "Nice to meet you. Actually, the two of you don't have to make such a big fuss. I just want to know the valuation of my assets. "
Yi Xinyan and Deputy Director Jia looked at each other and made up their minds to keep this big client's assets in their company to manage.
"Mr. Lu, we will use all of our company's resources to provide you with the most professional services." Yi Xinyan spoke. Her voice was a little hoarse, but it wasn't obvious. It just sounded a little low, like the voice of a contralto singer.
It sounded very pleasant to the ears to most people, but Lu Yuan wasn't an ordinary person.
He could tell from her voice that Yi Xinyan's vocal cords had been injured, so her voice was a little abnormally low and hoarse.
There was a subtle difference between a natural contralto and a bass voice caused by an injury to her vocal cords.
Generally speaking, this kind of difference could only be detected with professional equipment.
However, Lu Yuan had received so much high-intensity training, and his own hearing was more sensitive than the average person's, so he could determine if the other party's voice was normal without relying on professional equipment.
He smiled at Yi Xinyan and said, "Miss Yi, do you talk to clients a lot every day?"
Yi Xinyan was stunned for a moment. "… Not a lot, right? What's wrong? Mr. Lu, if you have something to say, just say it. "
"… It's not a lot. Why would you talk about vocal cords being injured?" Lu Yuan smiled meaningfully. "Do you investment banks do business entirely by relying on your glib tongue? I think I have to consider your professional abilities again. I admire people who work hard, not people who only know how to talk big. "
Deputy Director Jia was furious, but Lu Yuan's assets were too tempting. He had no choice but to suppress his anger and smile obsequiously. "Mr. Lu, you're overthinking it. Miss Yi is the best analyst in our company. She's the best at value estimation, and she also has an actuary certificate. With her around, your valuation will definitely not be wrong! "
"She's that good?" Lu Yuan seemed to be convinced. He looked Yi Xinyan up and down again and praised her with a smile. "I didn't expect Miss Yi to be so young and beautiful, and her professional abilities are so strong. It's really rare."
Yi Xinyan stroked the Hermes scarf she was wearing around her neck with one hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, your observation skills are really sharp. My throat was indeed injured. When I was young, I liked to eat fish, but it was stuck by a bone. It was very serious, and I had to have surgery to remove the bone. My vocal cords were damaged as a result, but it didn't affect my speech. "
Lu Yuan revealed a sympathetic look. "That's a pity. But it's a blessing in disguise. Miss Yi's voice is very pleasant to hear. I apologize for what I said just now. I hope Miss Yi won't take offense. "
"No, no." Yi Xinyan said with a smile and blinked mischievously. "I will provide the best service and value your assets. I guarantee that you'll be satisfied!"
Only if the valuation went smoothly could she further convince Lu Yuan to let their company be the manager of Lu Yuan's assets.
Investment banks dealt with the business of these rich people.
Lu Yuan stood up. "Okay, I'll leave this information here. You guys estimate the value first. I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first. "
The bait had already been left. Whether the fish took the bait or not was up to the fish.
