Profile

essential information

Huang Jianhua's ancestral home is Puning, Guangdong. He was born and raised in Guangzhou. His grandparents were excellent badminton players in Puning. In the 1960s and 1970s, his family had played badminton players from China and Indonesia. Under the influence of his family, Huang Jianhua began his professional training in badminton at the age of nine, from Guangdong youth sports school to the youth team. His best result in Guangzhou was the top six. However, later, Huang took a different road, and his former teammates also played in the national team.

Early experience

In 1980, China resumed the college entrance examination, when Huang Jianhua was 16 years old. Between study and physical education, Huang Jianhua resolutely chose study. Huang Jianhua preferred liberal arts. At that time, only geography, political economy, history and Chinese were tested in the college entrance examination, not mathematics. Therefore, his college entrance examination results were very good, and there was no problem going to the key universities in China. However, Huang Jianhua did not want to be too far away from home, so he chose Zhongshan University, the most famous university in Guangzhou. When choosing his major, his mother, a professor of English, suggested that he study English, but Huang Jianhua had his own ideas. Since he has been in touch with English since he was a child, Huang Jianhua has a good command of English. But for this reason, Huang Jianhua is not interested in English, so he decided to learn Japanese, which he is not familiar with. At that time, there was a big age gap among the students in the class. Huang Jianhua was the youngest in the class, but he got the best grades. After graduating from University, Huang Jianhua stayed in school to teach, but after a short time in this job, Huang Jianhua quit his job and decided to study in the United States.

Study abroad experience

In the autumn of 1984, Huang Jianhua came to Columbia University in New York. He passed the language test first, then got a master's degree in East Asian economic studies and studied finance. Since entering Columbia University, Huang Jianhua has found that when there are baseball and rugby games, his classmates are happy to discuss them. At that time, Huang Jianhua felt that chatting with classmates was a good way to learn language and socialize. Therefore, he also began to take the initiative to watch football games. Looking at it, an idea sprouted, hoping to have a football team in the future.

Up to now, Huang Jianhua's favorite team is the New York Giants. In the second year when he arrived in the United States, he caught up with the New York Giants and won the championship. Even the McDonald's package is printed with the logo of the New York Giants. "I was really shocked at that time. The sports industry can penetrate from finance to retail." Huang Jianhua said.

In addition to rugby, Huang also began to focus on baseball. Because baseball has always been a hot topic in the middle class and even the upper class of the United States, a lot of their social interaction is often on the baseball field. "There are a lot of baseball games every season. There are nearly 100 games. You can spend a lot of time communicating with Americans. Sometimes going to watch baseball is not just for the game. It's an opportunity for emotional communication. We can get along and chat. This is the social and cultural foundation of the United States." "Using it as a platform for communication is something Rugby can't do," Huang said So even though he likes football better, Huang Jianhua still goes to watch baseball.

March into the stock market

New York stock exchange

After graduating from Columbia University in 1988, Huang did not expect to enter the world-famous New York Stock Exchange. Because at that time, there was no black haired, yellow skinned Asian on the New York Stock Exchange. At that time, the New York Stock Exchange happened to need an Asian master who could speak English, Japanese, Putonghua and Cantonese at the same time. On the day of applying for the job, Huang Jianhua met countless Asian faces, and all of them were full of ambition.

Although for some competitors, Huang Jianhua is not familiar with professional terms and financial business, he can quickly turn around Putonghua, Japanese, Cantonese and English in one minute, with clear ideas. Moreover, he did well in school. The New York Stock Exchange sent someone to the school to check. The professor said that Huang Jianhua was the best student in that class. More importantly, Huang Jianhua's excellent psychological quality left a deep impression on the chief judge. "It's all because you practiced sports at the beginning," Huang said. "When you used to go to competitions, a lot of people looked at you and paid attention to you. You had to face your opponents, the audience, the people who encouraged you and cheered you down, so your psychological quality has been trained since childhood." In the end, Huang Jianhua passed five rounds of assessment. Entered the New York Stock Exchange.

The days of the New York Stock Exchange

In order to strengthen Huang Jianhua's English and professional knowledge, the company decided to pay someone to train him. When the stock market closed at four o'clock every day, Huang Jianhua began his "special training". The company paid $360 an hour for Huang Jianhua's tutor. He would push a big TV and a camera, which would point at Huang Jianhua and let him talk about different topics in front of the camera every day. The tutor said first, and Huang Jianhua repeated. "This process is very challenging. On the one hand, you have to have a good memory, but also to solve the embarrassment of facing the camera. You should not only keep your voice, posture and eyes, but also speak clearly in your mind. You only have 15 minutes to retell." This course lasted for half an hour a day. "This is the most fruitful day of my life," Huang said

At the beginning, Huang Jianhua's work in the New York Stock Exchange was public relations, dealing with the media, investors and listed companies on behalf of the American stock exchange. "At that time, the big companies in China, Hong Kong, Singapore, Japan and other places could enter the American stock exchange. They must be the best in the local area. If they were not the best, they would not enter the New York Stock Exchange." When communicating with these bosses, Huang Jianhua actively extended his relationship with them in terms of corporate culture, communication, business operation and business management. Huang Jianhua described those days as "like the monkey king going through purgatory, coming out from there was like a completely different person."

Wall Street owners talk about sports and buying teams when they have nothing to do. The speaker has no intention and the listener has intention. Some things began to infiltrate imperceptibly. How can the team operate in order to obtain the maximum commercial value? Huang Jianhua began to contact slowly, recording and observing the things and changes around him, observing what the rich like and what their interests are. It turned out that they talked about sports in addition to stocks, and everyone talked happily. If we want to have a foothold in this society, we must have an entry point. In the United States, sports is the best link. Huang Jianhua said that many of his friends on Wall Street are very rich fund managers. One of the things they have to do before they go home to bed is to watch the sports event reports on that day, which has become a habit. "It's the same with me now. I can be busy with a lot of work, but before I go to bed, I just feel like I have nothing to do. I must have a look. Otherwise, when you chat with everyone the next day, you will feel that you are very ignorant and shameful. Perhaps, from here, the idea of buying a professional sports team began to take root in Huang Jianhua's heart.

spring into fame

In 1991, Huang had worked on the New York Stock Exchange for four years. As the first Chinese to enter the New York Stock Exchange, Huang Jianhua has been working hard, but in the past four years, his salary has been rising, but his position has never been promoted. Huang Jianhua understands that making money here is not a problem, but no matter how hard he tries, he is only a part-time worker, and his rights are controlled by a small circle of Jews in the stock exchange. As a result, Huang Jianhua, who has accumulated enough network resources, decided to get out and do it by himself. At the end of 1991, Huang left the New York Stock Exchange, but not Wall Street.

After leaving the New York Stock Exchange, Huang Jianhua began to do wealth management for some super rich people. For people with a value of more than one billion US dollars, they usually employ two teams to manage their money. One team comes from large financial institutions, such as UBS, Goldman Sachs and Citigroup. They give investment advice to the rich. The other team is a private housekeeper. They don't want to let outsiders know. They are responsible for all the investments they want to make in secret. What Huang Jianhua does is the second kind, "he thinks that you communicate with him very well, his idea can get your approval, and he will come to you." After negotiation, the two sides will reach a profit distribution ratio and make money together. In this regard, Huang Jianhua has a unique advantage. Because after 1989, the first group of Chinese who came to the United States slowly entered the financial circle of Wall Street. Huang Jianhua was four or five years earlier than them. During this period, only Huang Jianhua, an Asian, was in the stock exchange. All the bosses who came from Asia to invest had to go through him. Taiwan, Hong Kong and Japanese all had to go through him. All the rich company owners who wanted to go public also had to go through him. Because Huang Jianhua was a rare talent at that time, he had to go through
