Chapter 199: At Least Expand Five Times

After the New Year holiday ended, Su Xin returned to Tianjing and returned to his previous life of working.

In the short month since returning home, too many things had happened.

From being attacked by armed thugs the next day, to the subsequent month-long large-scale stock market assault against Sakura Country, currency sniping, and then the asset sweeping in the second half.

It was only today that the second half of the financial war was officially declared over, so Luan Weiliang issued a detailed summary report on the financial war.

This also allowed Su Xin to truly witness the terrifying power of money for the first time.

At the beginning, besides preparing for the financial war to retaliate against Sakura Country, he also had a cyber war.

But now it seemed that the financial war alone had already completely crushed Sakura Country.

It is worth mentioning that just a week ago, someone in Sakura Country publicly issued an apology statement to Su Xin on television, claiming that the attack was an unauthorized act and stating that the relevant responsible persons had been dismissed and sent to court.

Su Xin did not respond to this.

He only arranged for Tianqi Group to continue its acquisitions.

"So, the cyber war..."

Su Xin could not help but ponder.

After a while, he still shook his head:

"Forget it, let's keep it as a trump card to be used at the next appropriate time."

At this moment, the internal phone on the desk rang.

Su Xin picked it up casually.

"Boss, General Manager Luan is here."

"Good, let him in."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, the door was soon knocked on lightly, and then Luan Weiliang pushed the door and entered.

"Boss."

"General Manager Luan, you have worked hard these days."

Su Xin stood up with a face full of smiles, shook hands with Luan Weiliang, and then the two sat down.

"You have been busy these past few days during the New Year without resting for a single day. How about taking a few days off starting tomorrow as compensatory leave?"

"No need, the financial war has just ended, and there is still a lot of finishing work to be done."

Luan Weiliang shook his head.

"Then wait until you are finished to rest. I will approve half a month of paid leave for you, plus your annual leave, which will be enough for you to rest well for a month."

Su Xin said readily: "In addition, I have arranged a personal bonus of 100 million for you, and a team bonus of 100 million."

"This is money outside of normal performance bonuses and overtime pay, and you can distribute it freely."

A hint of surprise appeared on Luan Weiliang's tired face, and he quickly said: "Thank you, Boss!"

According to normal performance bonuses and overtime pay, everyone could get at least 300,000 in bonuses for their actions during the New Year period.

As the General Manager of the Financial Management Department, he could get even more, a bonus of ten million.

This amount of money could be considered a lot for him as well.

After all, he had only been busy with overtime for one month.

And now, there was an extra bonus of 100 million, which was higher than his normal annual salary!

Although he and the entire team had been busy from morning till night during these New Year days, with such a return, everything was worth it.

Su Xin waved his hand and smiled:

"In this financial war, you are the greatest contributors! This is what you deserve."

"In the future, as Tianqi Group's funds increase, I will still need you to continue your efforts."

These words were not just polite pleasantries.

The more than one hundred people in the Financial Management Department were all elites, with starting monthly salaries of over 100,000 after joining, including many with monthly salaries of hundreds of thousands, and even several management-level staff with monthly salaries of one million.

The more than one hundred people in the entire department controlled the flow of hundreds of billions in funds for the group, investing and operating extensively on a global scale, allowing Tianqi Group's reach to cover the whole world, which provided the foundation for the assault on Sakura Country's stock market.

And it was only then that it became possible to raise 17 trillion Sakura Coins in a short period of time.

One must know that if as much as 17 trillion Sakura Coins were acquired directly with great fanfare, it would not only be difficult to acquire, but would also cause the Sakura Coin to appreciate, greatly increasing the group's input costs.

Even if one were to find other financial institutions to add leverage and borrow, it was not something one could borrow just by wanting to.

After all, this sum of capital was too massive.

But the more than one hundred elites of the Financial Management Department, through continuous operations by over a hundred companies distributed around the world, relying on the powerful connections of each elite and the group's massive funds, finding relationships, handing out red envelopes, and doing public relations, used every means possible to barely raise 17 trillion Sakura Coins from various channels.

Only then was it possible to snipe the Sakura Coin.

If it weren't for Luan Weiliang's foresight in expanding the team so large in advance and recruiting so many elites, even if Tianqi Group possessed hundreds of billions in cash flow, it might not have been able to stir up an economic crisis in Sakura Country.

Even if it could, it wouldn't have been done so efficiently.

Therefore, the greatest contributor this time was indeed Luan Weiliang and the Financial Management Department under him.

Luan Weiliang nodded earnestly:

"Rest assured, Boss, we will work hard!"

Su Xin said again: "I asked you to come over today, besides the matter of the bonuses, there is one more thing, which is about the financial management team."

"During this period, the scale of the group has grown larger and larger, and the profits have become higher and higher. Especially this year, it will be the year that Tianqi Group officially takes off, and it is expected that there will be more than 5 trillion in profits."

"At least 3 trillion of this will need your team to operate, coordinate with the group's planning, operate assets on a global scale, and assist the operations of various subsidiaries worldwide to pave the way and provide protection for the group's development."

"This will be a great challenge."

"Remember to make a plan when you have time. If you lack people, communicate with General Manager Liu. I will tell her to relax the approval process for you."

"Although the current team is very strong, the scale is still not enough. You should feel free to expand boldly."

"Expand by at least five times!"

Luan Weiliang's expression was solemn as he nodded and said:

"Understood! I will make the preparations!"

Within the group, apart from Su Xin and Liu Qingli, he was the only one who understood the group's assets the best, and he also roughly knew that the group's current profits were exaggerated.

That was why he had continuously expanded the number of people in the Financial Management Department from the initial dozen or so to the current one hundred-plus.

Furthermore, every single one of them was an elite in the industry.

Hundreds of billions in assets was no small amount.

On average, each person controlled billions in assets, and each investment project ranged from a minimum of several million to a maximum of several hundred million; calculating it out, each person kept over twenty projects being followed up on simultaneously.

This was also why their department started with a monthly salary of one hundred thousand, and with various benefits and subsidies, even the most ordinary employee had an annual salary of around two million.

Of course, these people often did not follow up on every project personally, as there were employees in subordinate departments responsible for some trivial matters, acting as assistants to the Financial Management Department staff.

Therefore, these one hundred-plus employees could actually be considered one hundred-plus project managers.

Throughout the entire Tianqi Group, the Financial Management Department was one of the departments with the highest salaries and benefits, envied and yearned for by countless people.

But at the same time, precisely because of the high salaries and high benefits of the Financial Management Department, the number of people was strictly limited, and the recruitment requirements were also extremely high.

Even if Luan Weiliang wanted to expand the headcount, he had to draft a proposal, obtain approval from Liu Xuewei, and finally submit it to Liu Qingli for permission.

The requirements were extremely strict.

Currently, the entire Financial Management Department, including Luan Weiliang, only had one hundred and twenty-nine people, and that was after carefully selecting them from a massive pool of elite applicants over the past year or so.

And now, with Su Xin's permission, the Financial Management Department would be able to expand even faster.

The expansion of the group's financial team would allow the group's assets to be operated more precisely and play a greater role in the global market.

Money is sometimes just money for buying things.

But sometimes, it can exert a role far greater than its own value.

At such times, it is capital.
