I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 520 My methods are not universally applicable, so please don't try to imitate them!

The next morning, Ouyang Shaoqiang went to work as usual. He opened Fang Qingye's account and found that the other party had closed all their positions.

Looking at the nearly 200 billion yen, Ouyang Shaoqiang was speechless.

Just then, his phone rang. He saw that it was Fang Qingye calling and quickly perked up.

"Mr. Fang, congratulations," Ouyang Shaoqiang said. "Are you popping champagne to celebrate?"

"Haha, no need for that. I'll just ask my grandma to cook me an extra dish this afternoon as a congratulatory gift."

Ouyang Shaoqiang laughed when he heard this; Fang Qingye was quite humorous.

“Mr. Fang, you’re right. The butterfly effect in America is truly amazing. Bernanke only moved his lips, and the whole world experienced a major earthquake, with the wealth of countless people vanishing in an instant,” Ouyang Shaoqiang remarked.

“There’s nothing we can do. This world still belongs to America, especially in the financial sector.” Fang Qingye replied, “Alright, let’s not talk about that. I’d like to ask you for a favor.”

"I'm happy to serve you," Ouyang Shaoqiang quickly said.

"Work with Li Li at Topway Technology's Hong Kong branch to convert the 200 billion yen into US dollars as soon as possible. Half of the funds will remain in my personal account, and the other half will be transferred to Topway Technology's Hong Kong branch account."

“OK, no problem!” Ouyang Shaoqiang immediately agreed.

The yen is depreciating sharply now, so it's not advisable to hold it for long. Hong Kong is a financial free port where currency can be freely exchanged, and as long as the source of the currency is legal, no one will interfere.

“I have something else to say.” Fang Qingye paused on the other end of the phone before saying, “Mr. Ouyang, would you be willing to work at Tuofang Technology’s Hong Kong branch? I’d like to offer you the position of deputy manager with an annual salary of one million Hong Kong dollars.”

HK$100 million?!

That's three times my salary at Guotai Junan Securities!

Of course I would!

Just as Ouyang Shaoqiang was about to agree, he suddenly remembered something and hesitated.

Fang Qingye, sensing the other person's hesitation, asked again, "What's wrong? Are you dissatisfied with your position or your salary?"

“You misunderstood, I’m quite satisfied.” Ouyang Shaoqiang quickly replied, “It’s just that as far as I know, Tuofang Technology’s Hong Kong branch is only an asset management company, and all the funds are deposited in the form of bank accounts, without any investment. I don’t think I was of much use in the past.”

Ouyang Shaoqiang's meaning is very clear:

You pay me so much, my job is to protect your money. But I don't want to abandon my profession.

"Hehe, we hired you to preserve and even increase the company's assets. How about this: 50% of the company's funds will continue to be deposited—because I may invest at any time. The other 50% can be used to purchase various financial products, including bonds and gold. Of that, you are allowed to invest 20% in high-risk investment areas such as futures, stocks, and foreign exchange. Is that acceptable?"

"Can I assemble my own investment team? I'm afraid I can't manage such a large amount of funds by myself," Ouyang Shaoqiang made another request.

“Sure, but they need to be lean and efficient,” Fang Qingye replied.

"Six or seven people will be enough," Ouyang Shaoqiang said hurriedly.

"OK, you should complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible. My wife, Bai Ou, will be coming to Hong Kong soon to announce this appointment in her capacity as CEO of Tuofang Technology."

"Okay, Mr. Fang, do you have any good suggestions for the company's future investments and financial management, especially in futures and stock markets?" Ouyang Shaoqiang unconsciously used the word "you" in his address.

"Didn't you send me an email a while ago? Just follow your plan," Fang Qingye said with a smile.

"Continue investing in the Japanese stock market?"

"Yes, according to the idea in your email."

"But."

He was full of confidence when he first emailed Fang Qingye, but after these past few days, especially after Fang Qingye's actions, he suddenly lost confidence.

When he cautiously shared his thoughts with Fang Qingye, a burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Ouyang, my approach isn't universally applicable, so please don't try it! Your sound and rational thinking is the most correct way!"

Steady? It is indeed very steady. Compared to your crazy operations, your strategy is indeed very steady, even conservative.

Why not invest in Bitcoin if you're going to engage in such a crazy trading style?
Ouyang Shaoqiang still couldn't understand it.

forget about it.

I'd better stick to playing the stock and futures markets.
After finishing her call with Ouyang Shaoqiang, Fang Qingye immediately called Bai Ou in Shanghai to inform him that Ouyang Shaoqiang was willing to resign and become the deputy general manager of the Hong Kong branch.

All of this had been discussed with Bai Ou in advance, and they were just waiting for Ouyang Shaoqiang's approval.

Upon hearing Fang Qingye's words, Bai Ou immediately replied on the other end of the phone, "Alright, I'll go to Hong Kong the day after tomorrow and announce the candidate for the branch's CFO."

The chief financial officer was dispatched by Tuofang Company, adhering to the company's consistent tradition.

After the Chinese New Year, Bai Ou recruited more than 20 people for Tuofang Technology, which suddenly expanded its scale.

The financial director of the Hong Kong branch is Han Guangnan. He used to be the financial manager of a small fund company in Shanghai. He was hired by Tuofang Technology and soon agreed to work in Hong Kong.

Hearing Bai Ou's words, Fang Qingye said, "That's fine. Li Li will stay in Hong Kong for a while longer to observe Han Guangnan's professional abilities, especially his character."

"Yes, and also. For the Brazilian company Filgre, Tuofang Technology needs to send someone back to serve as a director. If O'Anli marries Katia, having a married couple on the board is not good for headquarters management."

"It's just a stopgap measure. Brother Qiao and I have already discussed it. We'll set up a joint office for Bangcheng International and Tuofang Technology in São Paulo. I'll transfer O'Anli there as the deputy director and sever ties with Philgrey Company. I estimate that in the future, we'll invest in more than just Philgrey in Brazil."

"Understood. You and Qiao Yongfeng are working together to play a major strategic game for the country."

Ha, another grand strategy.

Fang Qingye noticed that Bai Ou had been using this word a lot lately.

"Bai Ou, are you taking your newly recruited assistant with you to Hong Kong this time?" The two chatted casually.

"Of course. Come with me and broaden your horizons. By the way, Ye Zi, I'll also hire an assistant for you. Do you prefer a male or female secretary?"

"I don't want any of them!" Fang Qingye refused outright.

Fang Qingye was annoyed that she had to go out on errands with someone carrying her bag.

Besides, in Nanxin, Hu Lingling from the bank and Zhang Xiaorui from the nursery are actually playing similar roles, but they're not allowed to follow him around all the time.

"You don't need a secretary? Fine, then I'll have to hire you a driver who also serves as a bodyguard. You're not allowed to refuse!"

Okay, that's fine.

It's really tough for Yue Kai to work alone without anyone to relieve him.

Besides, I'll be going to Brazil again in the future, so I'll need to bring an extra bodyguard.

Fang Qingye was quite at ease with the fact that Bai Ou, the CEO, was in charge of the affairs of Tuofang Technology.

June arrived quickly, and the rainy season was just around the corner.

Today is Wednesday. Fang Qingye went to work at the bank as usual in the morning when she suddenly received a call from Miao Hongbin.

"Qingye, do you know someone named Shi Guangrong? He invests in futures with you and also owns a seedling and flower company in Shanghai called Silan Flower Company?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Are you two very close?" Miao Hongbin asked again.

"Yes."

"That's right! I'll come find you right away!"
