The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 117 Visits one after another

Clay figurines are also very hot-tempered, no matter how well-restrained Zhao Jiajie is, but under Zhong Shi's aggressiveness, he couldn't help bursting into anger: "Zhong Sheng, even if you are a distinguished guest of HSBC, you stretch your arms too far." Let's be clear. Let's not say that we haven't done anything to your friend, even if we did, it's not your turn to care about it, right?"

There is nothing wrong with his words, but what he met was Zhong Shi, a reborn time traveler, who simply dismissed these so-called high society, let alone their second-generation children who have not yet held power up.

  You must know that the reason why the rich in Hong Kong can make a fortune, apart from some hard work they boasted, is more through smuggling and monopoly, especially in certain public industries. When the world-renowned Carrefour entered Hong Kong, some rich people in Hong Kong who controlled the electrical and water industries did not hesitate to threaten water and power cuts, and finally forced Carrefour out of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong, which has a reputation as a "free port" in the world, is essentially a deformed economy monopolized by big real estate developers. The British Hong Kong government is the promoter of this economy, because only in this way can they Seek maximum profit.

  What the Hong Kong and British governments did not expect was that in just over ten years, the economic monsters they cultivated would erode to the mainland of the United Kingdom, and instead take some of their public utility companies into their arms.

Zhong Shi is well aware of these. He is very clear about the rules governing the operation of the world. In a place where the legal system is perfect and things are done according to the rules, economic development is the biggest focus of society; while in some regions or countries where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, political It is the theme of society.

In a place like Hong Kong, certain actions of real estate companies sometimes have a greater influence than the words of the Governor of Hong Kong, because the Governor of Hong Kong at most affects the official system of the British Hong Kong government, while real estate companies affect society. People of all walks of life.

On this occasion today, except for a white British man who came to be in charge of contact, there was no face with blue eyes and white skin. The British man was also very interesting. In front of him, thinking about it, he also knew that he was only making an appearance on behalf of the government on this occasion, and then nothing happened to him.

At this time, the companies that want to immigrate and relocate their registered places have almost left, and most of the rest are not ready to leave, but those companies that have relocated their registered places have also come today, because their main business is still in the Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

Except for several well-known families such as the Li family, the Guo family, and the Huo family, Zhong Shi has never heard of any Zhao family in later generations. I am afraid that the family of Zhao Jiajie in front of him is at most a middle-to-high consortium. It is estimated that all the net worth add up. It's only a few billion, not even a fraction of Zhong Shi's current net worth.

   Bully? Zhong Shi didn't think about it, but for some people who don't open their eyes, or those who want to bully others, Zhong Shi doesn't mind teaching them a lesson.

   "People step on uneven roads, and people take care of uneven things. Don't you understand such a simple truth?" Zhong Shi snorted coldly and said coldly.

This is the difference between mainlanders and Hong Kongers. In Hong Kong, a tiny place, most people work hard for their livelihood. Except for government agencies and public welfare organizations, almost no one would think of doing things to fight injustice, but the mainland is different. At this time, the social atmosphere has not declined to the point where people turn a blind eye to injustice, and the blood of society is still there.

   "Since things can't be good, then you draw a path, and I'll follow suit!" Zhao Jiajie also refused to show weakness at all. Now that the faces of both parties have been torn, he no longer pretends to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

"Well, I won't be polite. Tell your family to prepare cash and wait to deal with the attack in the stock market. If you can't handle it, I will consider buying your family's property in the next step and kick you out completely. The board of directors!" Now that the other party followed up, Zhong Shi stopped being polite, with a murderous look on his face.

   Zhao Jiajie suddenly showed a look of contempt on his face: "It's just you? Do you want to buy our family's property with two billion Hong Kong dollars? It's a dream, you, just let it go!"

   "Really? What if we add our Standard Bank?" Just when the two of them were facing each other, a gust of fragrant wind hit, and then a tall lady Tingting came over gracefully.

The two followed the voice and found that the person who came was a 30-year-old lady, wearing a black evening dress, with light makeup on her face, and a string of shiny diamond necklaces hanging around her neck. It shone brightly under the bright hall lights.

The visitor is either rich or noble, and just as this thought flashed through the minds of the two of them, the lady promptly extended her white and tender hand to Zhong Shi: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zeng Yuanshuang, He is the financial manager of the Asia-Pacific region of Standard Bank." He spoke directly and crisply, showing a lean side.

   "Standard Bank? How would they know about me?" This thought swirled in Zhong Shi's mind, but he didn't show it on his face. Zhong Shi also stretched out his hand politely, and shook her gently.

  Like HSBC, Standard Bank is also a standard British bank, but its business first developed from Africa, and then extended to Asia, America and other places. On the contrary, there are very few businesses in Europe. Standard Bank is listed in Hong Kong and London at the same time, straddling two different financial markets, and is also one of the three statutory note-issuing banks in Hong Kong.

After thinking for a while, Zhong Shi understood what was going on. HSBC had encountered serious troubles in the European options market. It would definitely report to the British regulatory authorities, and at the same time inform his shareholders of the situation. a message. Although the money will be paid by the Swedish government in the end, HSBC will not lose much, but it will still have a certain impact on the stock price in the short term.

Standard Bank, as a competitor, got the news immediately. Unlike ordinary shareholders, Standard Bank quickly inquired about the transaction in detail through different channels, especially from former HSBC Private Bank employees. The specific details of the transaction were revealed, and Zhongshi began to enter the sight of Standard Bank executives.

You know, 600 million U.S. dollars in cash is an irresistible temptation for any bank in the world. Banks can use this money to do many things. Both have $60 million in revenue.

Standard Bank soon discovered that Zhong Shi’s cousin, Zhong Yi, used his own brokerage channel to conduct related transactions in the yen futures and options markets in 1985, and the transaction amount even exceeded the HSBC incident. On top of that, it took them by surprise. After a rough estimate, they determined that the Chung family's wealth was around a billion dollars. After conducting relevant investigations, Standard Bank found that, apart from the possibility of investing relevant funds in the Liao Group, there was no other evidence to prove that they had invested this huge amount of funds in other real economies. It may be that the funds are deposited in a bank.

   Now it is an important task for several commercial banks who have a little knowledge of the Zhong family's family background to win this deposit.

Zeng Yuanshuang is also very clear to Zhao Jiajie on the other side. His family has business contacts with Standard Bank, but Zhao Jiajie's identity is not enough to talk to her on an equal footing. In fact, for these wealthy second generations who look good, They are still juniors in the eyes of bankers, and it is not up to executives to intervene in things like tens or millions of credit card overdrafts.

   Zeng Yuanshuang had been standing aside and listening for a long time. When Zhong Shi said harsh words, she realized that the opportunity had come, and stepped forward to say hello regardless of whether it was abrupt or not, hoping to leave a good impression in front of Zhong Shi.

  As for what Zhong Shi said about acquiring Zhao's company, she didn't take it seriously. You must know that acquiring a company is not as easy as imagined, especially when the tradable shares account for not much of the total share capital.

The Zhao family's industry is mainly concentrated in the real estate industry. Their family owns three listed companies with a total market value of nearly 10 billion. Among these shares, the Zhao family owns more than 30% of the stocks, and their total assets are 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. about.

In addition to these, the market value of the largest company of these three companies is close to 5 billion, and the Zhao family holds 30% of the shares. More importantly, the third largest shareholder of this real estate company is an ally of the Zhao family. The veteran who started the business together, this person controls more than 50% of the shares together with Zhao Jiajie's father.

   Zeng Yuanshuang also thought that Zhong Shi might take the other two unimportant listed companies. She also wanted to know how much money the Zhong family had and how much Zhong Shi could use.

  She didn’t hear the promise Zhong Shi made in front of the HSBC prospective taipan. If she heard the liquidity of two billion Hong Kong dollars, she would definitely support Zhong Shi’s acquisition of all the properties of the three listed companies of Zhao’s without hesitation.

   "Since it's an acquisition, why don't you consider our Huayin Hong Kong, isn't it, Mr. Zhong?" Just when several people were thinking about it, another well-dressed middle-aged man approached.

   "My humble Zhang Feilu, the person in charge of Huayin Hong Kong Branch." The middle-aged man smiled and said to Zhong Shi almost flatteringly.

Like Standard Bank, Huayin Hong Kong is also very interested in the huge losses of HSBC. After following the clues, it also locked in the Zhong family who came to Hong Kong not long ago. However, unlike these British banks, Huayin Hong Kong is Huaxia. The branch of the bank in Hong Kong represents China's economic power.
