Inside a premium hotel near 57th Street, Manhattan.

Lin Fan was chatting happily with a middle-aged Chinese man in his forties, with a thin face and gold-rimmed glasses.

"Mr. Jiang, I've actually been in a meeting for a long time. I finally found a chance to meet today."

Jiang Ping waved his hand, "Just call me Peter!"

Lin Fan nodded, "Okay, Peter, I'm going to meet you today, mainly because I want to talk to you about cooperation."

Jiang Ping nodded. In his opinion, the other party was still very sincere.

A few months ago, a headhunter contacted him.

It is said that a Chinese hedge fund company that has just been founded and recently planned to invite him to join.

But when he asked, the fund management scale was only more than 30 million US dollars, and he was speechless in an instant. He made more money in a year than this.

The headhunter told him that behind this fund there is a young technology tycoon named Daren Xia, who is very promising.

Then he also checked and found that it was the boss of Facebook and Youtube.

This made him interested.

However, Facebook and Youtube had not completed a Series B financing worth 10 billion US dollars at that time, so it can only be said to be pretty good.

After deep thought, he still rejected the olive branch sent by Lin's capital.

Unexpectedly, a few months later, Lin Capital once again commissioned a headhunter to find him.

This time he did not refuse again, but chose to meet Lin Fan before talking.

"Peter, Lin Capital is forming a second hedge fund - the Mangzhong Fund."

Lin Fan looked at the other party and said slowly: "This fund has reached a fundraising intention with more than six institutions, with an intention amount exceeding US$300 million.

According to our plan, this fund will raise at least US$500 million, and there will be no cap on it!"

Jiang Ping's face was normal and there was no fluctuation.

Lin Fan thought of the other party's identity and said with a smile: "Of course, I know that this asset management scale is not worth mentioning in front of Lehman Brothers.

But what I emphasize is that this is a Chinese hedge fund.

The manager of our first hedge fund is also a Chinese, and his name is Liu Hai.

What I can guarantee is that at Lin’s Capital, yellow people will not be treated with racial discrimination and unfair treatment.”

Lin Fan's words were very simple, but every sentence hit Jiang Ping's heart.

He joined the Lehman Brothers in 1995 and has worked for a total of ten years today.

During these decades, global economic turmoil has been difficult for fund managers to deliver stable transcripts.

However, his investment performance has remained stable at an annualized rate of return of 30% to 100%.

With this achievement, he became one of the most contributed traders in Lehman Brothers.

However, his efforts are not proportional to his gains.

During the decade of Lehman Brothers, his average commission was between 3% and 4%.

It was not until last year that it was mentioned 11%, and the cash part only accounted for 3%.

You should know that on Wall Street, the commission based on performance is generally 10% to 15%.

During the ten years he worked at Lehman, he helped the company earn more than one billion dollars.

But all this did not bring a different look from the company. Even those with lower levels of their performance were higher than those of him.

The company promoted him to the so-called senior vice president, SVP, and this kind of position was everywhere on Wall Street. Goldman Sachs had 12,000 VP vice presidents.

In fact, he had long been dissatisfied with the Lehman Brothers, but there were many reasons why he was unwilling to leave.

The most important thing is that I haven't found a good next home.

The management scale of Lin's autumn harvest fund is only more than 30 million US dollars, and it was only half a year after he was invited.

If it had a scale of hundreds of millions of dollars, he might have agreed to join at that time.

But it's not too late now. He heard Lin Fan say that the scale of the Mangzhe Fund is at least 500 million US dollars, and he became interested in it all at once.

But he is a cold-hearted person and doesn't like to express his mood on his face.

Jiang Ping said: "Can I ask, which varieties this fund invests in?"

Lin Fan replied: "It has not been officially finalized yet. If you serve as a fund manager, you can leave it to your full decision."

Jiang Pingdan smiled, which showed that the other party still trusted him fully, otherwise he would not have given such high authority.

Lin Fan smiled and said, "I have found out your past experiences very clearly.

The reason why I came here today is that I believe that cooperation between our two sides is a win-win situation!”

Lin Fan still knows this very well.

Born in 1965, less than 16 years old, he entered the University of Science and Technology of China with the highest score in the Yangzhou college entrance examination, and then studied in Princeton and obtained a doctorate in chemistry.

Later, he studied finance and then joined Stanford to obtain a master's degree in finance.

In addition to the other party's Lehman's experience, he joined the leading hedge fund Sac in 2006 and served as managing director. He ranked among the "100 top traders in the world" with an annual income of more than 100 million US dollars.

However, after working for two years, he was squeezed out of the company's internal strife and was also given false charges such as "insider trading" and "sexual harassment of male subordinates".

Later, I simply started my own business, set up an asset management company, and managed my own assets, and did a great job.

He certainly has the ability, but he is not satisfied with his talent and has not met a platform that suits him the most suitable one.

"I'm a little curious. Isn't your first fund size only more than 30 million US dollars?

After just one year, the second fund became at least $500 million?"

It was of great importance, and Jiang Ping did not accept the invitation rashly, and wanted to learn more carefully.

Lin Fan took the handbag next to him, took out a stack of information, and handed it to Jiang Ping.

Jiang Ping took it and looked at the fund performance statement in his hand. The more he looked, the more frowned.

"In a year, 36.25 million has become 245 million? Almost 7 times?"

Lin Fan nodded, "Yes, this is the return on investment of our first fund."

Jiang Ping originally thought that most of the funds of the Grain Fund were produced by Lin Fan.

When he saw this stack of information, he changed his opinion.

And the most exaggerated thing is that this is a stock-oriented hedge fund, and it is all long.

He is engaged in finance, so he naturally knows how awesome this is, and it is so awesome that it is a bit unreal.

As if he saw the doubt on the other person's face, Lin Fan smiled and said, "You can also go to our company to see it. After all, seeing it is true, hearing it is false."

"Is this OK?"

Jiang Ping felt that he had not even agreed to join Lin's Capital, so he went to see other people's secrets. It was not very appropriate.

"It doesn't matter. The most sensitive one cannot be shown to you for the time being. You can check out our investment records that have been cleared."

Jiang Ping felt itchy. He wanted to observe the company close up and said cheerfully: "Okay, that's a risk."

After three years of its establishment, Lin's Capital's office has already changed a lot.

It moved from the original office of one or two hundred square meters to a new office building, and it was rented out and the office area was more than 1,500 square meters.

When you get out of the elevator, what catches your eye is the huge and conspicuous company logo and signboard at the front desk.

The four large Chinese characters "Lin's Capital" were carved with small seal script by domestic masters of gold and stone. Not to mention Americans, many Chinese people can't recognize them when they see them, and they look like ghost-painted talismans.

It's right if you can't recognize it, it's the effect, full of style.

There is also a row of English "lin capital" under the Xiaozhuan sign, which is the American name of Lin's Capital.

There was a security consultant in front of the glass door. When he saw the boss taking people out of the elevator, he quickly swiped the card to open the door.

After entering the company, Lin Fan took Jiang Ping around.

While shopping, I also introduced to Jiang Ping, the quantitative trading research department, the portfolio management department, the trading department, the research department, the risk control compliance department...

Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs.

Although there are only more than 30 people in the autumn harvest fund, the various functional departments are clearly divided and everything is in order.

After taking Jiang Ping to see the Autumn Harvest Fund, Lin Fan took the other party to Guyu and the Beginning of Autumn Fund.

"Guyu Fund is a VC fund that currently manages nearly 30 million US dollars in assets and has invested in startups such as Tesla, LinkedIn, China's framework media, Ganji.com, Tudou.com, etc...."

Guyu Fund is mediocre, small in scale, not many employees, only more than ten people.

This is Jiang Ping's first impression.

"The Liqiu Fund is a PE fund with an asset management scale of US$800 million. Currently, just one investment case has acquired a mobile operating system company called Android for US$50 million..."

When he was wandering to the Liqiu Fund, Jiang Ping heard Lin Fan’s introduction.
