Based on some insiders' information, Fred Hu is not respected that much as he claims in Goldman office, as far as leadership wise. The reason why he holds that position is: every Chinese government officials would like to talk business with someone with similar background. Luckly, in Goldman HK office, Hu is the only high-profile candidate, and he got his hand on every big deals. Or could be the reason that Hu keeps emphasizing that he is one of the students under Mr. Zhu in TsingHua.
