Chapter 15: Building Prestige


Alvertelli is very productive.It's just vigorous, and the level of professionalism and connections in the investment community around Los Angeles is good.Under his leadership, there are also several of the most well-known executive search firms with the help of them.The first investment company since Abel's crossing was quickly established and established.As for the name of the investment company.Abel decided to name it "Oasis Investment".It didn't make any sense, but when he registered the company, the lawyer he hired asked him what the name of the company was.At that time, he happened to be drinking coffee at a café called Oasis, and by the way, he was playing foreign exchange, so he casually named Oasis.The name of the company doesn't matter.What matters is the company's achievements and future.Just like Apple's name, it looks like an agricultural company.But people are awesome enough to change a small part of the tech world.Then the name Apple, along with Apple's awesomeness, has become a powerful name in the corporate and technological worlds.If Apple isn't that powerful, then no matter how nice its name is, it won't do anything.Of course, it can't be too casual.For example, "Ergouzi Investment" or something, such a name can't be messed up.will make the industry laugh.Oasis investment, medium and medium distance.In Abel's words, the purpose of Oasis Investment and the company's motto are: Oasis Capital, an oasis for entrepreneurs to walk in the desert.From the very beginning, Oasis Investment has followed venture capital and angel investment.The path is to pick out the most shining gold among the many entrepreneurs who are as many as stars every year.The template is designed with venture capital giants like Sequoia Capital in mind.The company has been registered and established, and the office address has been selected a long time ago, which is the office building on Dune Road.Dune Road is located on the San Francisco Peninsula in the San Francisco Bay Area, in Menlo Park, between Route 280 and Santa Cruz Avenue.The road wraps around the back of Stanford University, on a wooded, sun-drenched, picturesque hillside.The humble Dune Road is one of the most famous roads in Silicon Valley and even in the United States, gathering the most important venture capital institutions in the United States and the world.This path is to the high-tech industry what Wall Street is to the stock market.Countless venture capital firms are clustered here.Internet giants and unicorns have found investment here, and they have gone public, been acquired or will soon be so.The rent is very expensive, and it is calculated according to square feet, and the rent of one square meter a year is calculated to be converted into soft sister coins, which is about tens of thousands of yuan a square meter a year.The building has four floors and is 12,367 square feet, or about 1,150 square meters.Just such a small dilapidated building, the rent alone will cost about 11 million soft sister coins a year, and counting other various property expenses, the annual cost will exceed 15 million soft sister coins!

More than 15 million soft sister coins, exchanged for domestic ones, can be rented in the center of the CBD landmark buildings of first-tier cities for thousands of square meters.But on Dune Road in Silicon Valley, it's worth just one small dilapidated building.No way, you must know that the office rent on Dune Road is now the highest in the United States.Even more expensive than the world's most famous city, the most famous city center, and more expensive than the rent of an office building in Midtown Manhattan, New York!

I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, the office building of Oasis Investment Company is just opposite the famous Sequoia Capital.Of course, people are bigwigs in the venture capital industry, and it is impossible to rent a house.That building has been acquired by Sequoia Capital, and it is not a small dilapidated building like Oasis Investment, but a building with more than ten floors.Such a building, which is inconspicuous in other places, can be said to be short in the building.But this is Dune Road, and such a building is worth a fortune.If you use it as an office building, the annual rent is estimated to be hundreds of millions, of course, not dollars.It's a soft girl coin.The advantage of Alvertelli's strong work ability is that in just a few days, the initial structure of Oasis Capital has been built.A general manager, Alvertelli.He's in charge of the overall situation.A venture capital manager, another elite hired by a headhunter.Responsible for following up the business of the company's investment start-up company.Three financials.Two supervisors.Ten salesmen whose main task is to find start-ups and entrepreneurs that are worth investing in.Ten risk control personnel, the main task is to calculate the investment risk of the investment object.A legal consultant, who is not usually in the company's office, is a well-known barrister in Los Angeles, has his own law firm, and has his own legal team.The company pays him a lot of money every year, and he consults him if necessary.Of course, if you need to go to court, the cost will be extra.An accounting consultant, also a well-known accounting firm.There are very few people, and even the legal and accounting aspects are only consultants, and there is no company's own team.Because in the United States, legal and accounting teams are very expensive.Accountant, lawyer, and doctor, these three professions are the highest and most stable among those middle-class people in the United States.And among them, the elite at the top will not lose their income to the average rich in the past.Doctors, lawyers, accountants and so on with assets worth $100 million are not uncommon in the United States.For example, Doctor Strange in Marvel movies and animations, before he became Doctor Strange, his job was to be a doctor, the top one.Driving a Lamborghini, living in a large villa, near the CBD in the center of the city, and a top-of-the-line large flat-floor apartment.Of course, there are still relatively few top elites like him.Normally, there are more middle-class people with an annual income of $200,000 to $1 million.It is precisely because of the high salaries of the accounting team and the legal team that there is no need to directly recruit a team during the company's start-up period.And only large investment companies have their own legal and accounting teams.Generally, investment companies are outsourced like Oasis Investment.In the future, the business will expand, the operation will also expand, there is a demand for this area, and it is not too late to expand the strength in this area.Even so, the money spent is still indispensable.Because these people are either recruited by Abel and the headhunting company, or they are former colleagues and friends of these people.In the industry of finance and capital, not all elites are considered half-elites.According to Abel's idea.The main business of Oasis Company is capital investment and capital operation, and the goal is to become a greater investment company than Sequoia Capital and KPCB Capital!

Although Abel is the boss, he spends money to find these people to do things.But he knows that he is still too young, he has not done anything famous, and his prestige is too low, and it is difficult to suppress this group of financial elites who can get a high income even if they go to Wall Street.What to do?

It's very simple, open and hang!

On the first day the company was actually established, Abel didn't ask them to look for anything worth investing in, but called people together and put some employees who had worked as traders or had worked on Wall Street as temporary traders.He personally led these temporary traders, controlled 100 million US dollars, and entered the most challenging, rewarding, and risky foreign exchange market in the eyes of industry insiders.In one morning, the principal of 100 million US dollars is directly profitable 100 million US dollars.The whole company was stunned and almost went crazy.One hundred percent profit in one morning is simply appalling.If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have thought someone was telling a joke.Since then, the eyes of the whole company have changed from the superficial respect to the previous appearance, to almost like looking at Buffett and Soros when they were young.Prestige or something, easily built.What's more, he is still the boss, the one who pays the salary.The advantage of such a commotion is that the atmosphere of the entire Oasis investment has become high, and the enthusiasm for work has been greatly improved.A group of financial elites who have always been above the top of their eyes have started to work obediently.At present, Oasis Investment does not have any good investment projects, and the only investment project is the Blue Star Future that Abel has assigned to Oasis Investment.Because the skills of opening and hanging three times a day have been used up, Abel runs away after pretending.did not get involved in the operation of the investment company, but came to the chairman's office with Alvertelli to chat.The chairman's office is an exclusive privilege room for Abel, located on the fourth floor of the office building, with a large floor-to-ceiling window with a good view.Across the huge floor-to-ceiling windows is the lush and well-vegetated Stamford Hills.The decoration of the office is also very simple.American modern style, simply put, a large sofa and large office chairs.Abel was lying in the boss's chair behind his desk.Alvertelli sat on the couch.Still looking at his boss with some incredulous eyes: "Boss, how did you do it?"

Obviously, before the investment, it was a steady downward yin line, and for a long time after the operation, it was also a big red line......

But in the end, it turned so fast!

”Abel said faintly: "Maybe it's luck."

Maybe I'm the illegitimate son of the goddess of fate. ”
