The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 120 Peregrine's Boss

  This world is so strange. For a rich man like Li Jiacheng, there are many people who openly plan his ideas, but few people really dare to implement them. At most, it is a bold person like Zhang Ziqiang, the century-old gangster, who dares to make plans on his son.

   This has nothing to do with Li Jiacheng’s seclusion, but more importantly, this wealthy businessman knows how to deal with the relationship with politicians.

But there are exceptions to everything. In Hong Kong, there was a wealthy real estate businessman surnamed Wang who was kidnapped in 1983 and was released after paying 10 million US dollars. However, this wealthy businessman was kidnapped again seven years later. He was not as lucky as last time. After paying a ransom of 60 million U.S. dollars, he was finally thrown into the sea by the kidnappers, and finally "dead without a place to bury him."

  Zhong Shi is not afraid of the children of these aristocratic families, they can't make any troubles. However, the Zhao family has developed in Hong Kong for decades and has grown deep roots. If they want to cause trouble for their family, Zhong Shi must really be careful.

   "What, regret it?" Xu Mai joked jokingly as he looked at Zhong Shi, who was bowing his head in thought.

  To be honest, he was a little confused about the young man in front of him, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with this young man either. However, he secretly made up his mind that after this gathering, he must investigate the details of this young man and his family.

   After all, such a character that he can't understand is a problem in itself.

"Mr. Xu was joking. The acquisition was not my idea, but the future plan of the Liao family. I just said it through my mouth. As for how to do it later, it is natural for the Liao family and their team to operate it. It's just a soy sauce!" Zhong Shi will not be fooled, if he admits to consider the issue of safety at this time, wouldn't it be a fact that he is the party seeking the acquisition, and it also proves that he has strong financial resources in disguise.

   "Soy sauce?" Xu Mai was taken aback, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

  Zhong Shi was also stunned. The phrase "soy sauce" was said casually by him, and it was extended to mean passers-by in later generations, but this allusion did not appear at this time, so it is no wonder that Xu Mai was confused.

   Knowing that he had slipped his tongue, Zhong Shi quickly changed the subject: "Mr. Xu is not in there to accompany those big guys, so why are you interested in coming out to chat with me, a kid?"

"It's nothing, just come out to get some air. For an old bone like me, my back hurts after standing for a long time. I need to walk around from time to time. Besides, the people inside are all rich people. If I don't have such an official status, I'm afraid I won't even say a word." I can't get in the mouth." Xu Mai said with some self-deprecation.

  Zhong Shi didn't answer the call, and didn't know how to answer it. He could faintly hear that Mr. Xu in front of him seemed a little dissatisfied with his current financial situation, which made him vigilant.

  The two sides did not speak for a moment. After a cigarette of silence, Zhong Shi and Xu Mai greeted each other, and then returned to the hall.

  At this time, in the brightly lit hall, a middle-aged man in his forties was talking non-stop. Dozens of prominent business elites surrounded him, all listening intently.

   "Hey, what is he talking about?" Zhong Shi walked up to Liao Xiaohua who was in a daze, bumped him with his shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

   "I don't know!" Liao Xiaohua turned his head and found that the person who asked the question was Zhong Shi, so he couldn't help but replied in a panic.

"I know what he's talking about, but this matter has something to do with you!" Just when the two were staring at each other, Liao Chengde appeared cheerfully, and the moment he opened his mouth, they were quite surprised. .

  Liao Chengde met a lot of celebrities in the business world during the communication just now, which is very helpful for his current transportation business. Under the hints of Xu Mai and others, many people also understood that this is a company that helps the government to do things. This surprised them, and they obviously paid a lot of attention to Liao Chengde, a new businessman.

   "Is it related to me?" Zhong Shi was a little surprised at this moment. He thought about it, he didn't make any big moves in Hong Kong recently? How did you get involved with yourself?

Liao Chengde chuckled, and said with some pride: "The one who is speaking now is the annual general manager of Peregrine, and he is talking about the European currency crisis to everyone in the business world. Do you think it's none of your business? "

"So that's how it is!" Zhong Shi suddenly realized that it really had a lot to do with him, except for Liao Chengde, only Andrew knew about these attacks on the European Central Bank, and even those professionals who boasted did not know about them. Insider.

They may know the method and result of the attack, and they may also know some sellers in the market through the European media, such as the well-known Soros and his Quantum Fund, or they may speculate a little information through the abnormal financial statements disclosed by the banking system, But more speculators in the market will never be known to outsiders.

  Balcony is one example.

"The problem with the European exchange rate system is Germany, because considering the merger of the two Germanys, the strength of the German economy has grown a lot at once, and the high interest rate policy implemented to cope with inflation has forced other countries to follow suit. The United Kingdom is a living example this time. According to our Peregrine research point of view, this financial crisis is far from reaching a halt. In November, international capital also launched an attack on France, but it was defended. I personally think that the attack on the franc is far from over, and international capital is very likely to attack the franc again in the future." Nian Botao said firmly.

   Peregrine? Zhong Shi thought for a long time, but he didn't remember the slightest impression of this company. What he didn't know was that this company was well-known before its bankruptcy in 1998. It was the largest investment bank in Asia except Japan. There are even more forest securities.

In addition to the traditional IPO business, this investment bank has partnered with many financial institutions such as the Asian Development Bank, the International Finance Corporation under the World Bank, and Soros' Quantum Fund to establish a fund management company AIFMC this year. The main investment target of this fund is Asia. infrastructure development in the region.

This year, the investment banking department of Peregrine began to go deep into the mainland market to develop business. In this year, it arranged for three Chinese-funded companies to be listed on the Stock Exchange, which quickly expanded their reputation in the mainland. Since then, mainland companies want to To list on the Stock Exchange, most of their securities are underwritten by Peregrine, which allows Peregrine to earn a large commission on the underwriting business.

You must know that before the establishment of Huaxia International Finance Co., Ltd., mainland companies wanted to list in Hong Kong through investment banks in Hong Kong, and Peregrine, which has a local background in Hong Kong and extensive resources and connections, is no different from them. first choice.

   It's a pity that Peregrine was mired in the first wave of the Asian financial crisis, and eventually could not escape the fate of bankruptcy and liquidation. This is why Zhongshi has never heard of it.

  The Mr. Nian Botao in front of him is the managing director in charge of the investment banking department of Peregrine, and he is also one of the co-founders. He can basically be regarded as an influential figure in the capital market who can raise his arms and gather people to respond. For such a person, celebrities in the Hong Kong business circle will naturally not let go of the opportunity to listen to his professional advice.

   "The analysis is clear and logical, but he is a powerful character!" Zhong Shi listened to a few words carefully, and then made a judgment in his heart. He didn't have any intention of soliciting, such a powerful person would never be willing to be inferior to others.

  Furthermore, his current business basically has nothing to do with investment banking, which is a huge waste of talents. You must know that the two most important businesses of investment banks are securities underwriting, specifically helping companies to list on exchanges to earn corresponding commissions; the other is the sales and trading department, which is the self-operated business of investment banks. Earn profits by buying and selling bonds with your own funds.

  However, many investment banks in later generations have fixed-income departments. The main business of this department is also to buy and sell bonds in the market, while part of the business of the sales and trading department is to deal with funds and cooperate with the investment banking department to sell securities.

   None of this has anything to do with Zhong Shi's current business. His business is much more advanced than these, and he does related transactions purely in the secondary market and derivatives market. As for the research reports of certain investment banks, he also dismissed them a little bit, after all, he is a person who knows the general development trend of the future.

"Zhong Shi, you have to be careful, the Zhao family is very likely to find Peregrine to be their financial advisor and act as a protective umbrella for their acquisition!" After carefully observing Zhong Shi's face, Liao Chengde carefully reminded.

"What's the use?" Zhong Shi sneered disdainfully, "In the face of absolute financial resources, no matter how many conspiracies and schemes are in the air, I don't believe it. I bought 50% of their shares at double the price. Let's see who will not agree?"

  Liao Chengde and Liao Xiaohua glanced at each other. Both father and son were speechless. If the price was doubled, it would be a 100% premium. Basically, no one would be able to refuse such a price. However, the final acquisition strategy still needs to be formulated and implemented by financial consultants. In this process, the acquiring party only needs to provide sufficient financial support.
