The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 345 The deal with Song Ling

  Song Ling was very proud during this time, and not in an ordinary way.

  Although he failed miserably in the battle to defend the Hong Kong stock market in October, he cleverly shifted all responsibility to the leaders of state-owned enterprises who asked him to save the market. Although most of the money will be used for the shares of state-owned enterprises listed in Hong Kong, it is an indisputable fact that the Hong Kong stock market has plummeted, and the small actions of the leadership of some listed companies have made Yanjing very annoyed.

Zhuge Guan, who is about to take over the post of prime minister at the National People's Congress next year, is a strong man with a dark eye. Although he has not taken over the post of prime minister justifiably at this time, he is in charge of economy, finance, the central bank, the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, etc. The department took advantage of the trend to change the management of two or three key enterprises in the past half month. While adjusting, it also released the wind, and also adjusted the management of some enterprises that were not doing well.

  As soon as this news came out, it immediately shocked the entire large state-owned enterprise circle, and almost everyone who was not on the same line as the Zhuge Pavilion was panicked, as if it was the end of the day. However, after they calmed down and analyzed it carefully, they discovered a lot of clues in this wave of adjustments.

First of all, most of the companies that were adjusted during this period were listed in Hong Kong, and the deterioration of their operating conditions was directly related to the decline in the Hong Kong market; second, the management of these companies was more or less involved in fraud, which is commonly referred to as Insider trading, they use inside information to sell high and buy low, or buy low and sell high, etc. Although their actions are very concealed, they cannot be hidden from the eyes of the review department; finally, these people do not respect the supervisors and leaders on weekdays, often behind the scenes The Zhuge Pavilion can't bear to engage in some behaviors that are both positive and negative, and even hinder the negotiations between China and the World Trade Organization.

After figuring it out, the management of central enterprises quickly took targeted measures. First, stop insider trading in the capital market. Whether it is in A shares or in Hong Kong and other markets, related actions are temporarily suspended; the second is to raise your hands They agree to negotiate with the World Trade Organization, although they have ten thousand reluctances in their hearts; the more important third point is to cheer up and supervise production and sales, because as long as the company's performance improves, even if the Zhugeguan intends to make trouble, it will fail.

The leaders of the state-owned enterprises listed in Hong Kong have a deeper understanding of Yanjing's actions, because they found that the management of these adjusted enterprises, including Zhang Baiqing of China Ocean, had borrowed funds from Xiarun Group. Specifically, it borrowed the money from the central government to support the Hong Kong stock market, and this was decisively adjusted. And other companies that did not reach out to this fund or did not have time to reach out were lucky enough to escape, which made them immediately understand the deep meaning of this adjustment, and no one dared to rashly reach out to this fund. .

   With no constraints, coupled with the full support of the forces behind him, Song Ling was naturally "proud of the spring breeze", and suddenly became the biggest protector in the Hong Kong stock market. He almost managed to make any stock rise if he wanted to protect it. But soon, he found that he did not have the ability to influence the market. Seeing that the chips were being consumed day by day, and the Hong Kong stock market did not improve much at all, he began to panic.

  Although protecting the market is a medium-to-long-term matter, the leaders will be patient, but if the chips in their hands are decreasing day by day, Song Ling really doesn't know what to do when the international speculators come to attack again.

After racking his brains for several nights in a row, he realized that before the international speculators attacked Hong Kong, Zhong Shi had predicted that it would be carried out through certain news or means, and the one that impressed him the most was the New Taiwan Dollar He might suddenly announce the depreciation, but now that he thinks about it, he is immediately in awe of Zhong Shi's forward-looking superman, and he also has the idea of ​​​​wooing him in his heart.

   Once the idea came to his mind, Song Ling became active, looking around for news about the Zhong brothers. It didn't matter that this inquiry made him so surprised that his jaw almost dropped to the ground.

First of all, the Zhong family moved to Hong Kong from the mainland more than ten years ago. They had no background before, and then launched the acquisition of Huade Real Estate, a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, in 1994. After several twists and turns, they even swallowed up this behemoth , and then persuaded shareholders to privatize it, and re-IPO near the highest point of the Hang Seng Index this year, earning more than billions of Hong Kong dollars between entry and exit.

Now the chairman of the board of directors of this real estate company is Zhong Yi. This person who Song Ling doesn't think much of is actually very famous. He first worked as a junior economist in the Asian region at the World Bank, and was later employed by a mainland bank. He was responsible for the establishment of the first large state-owned investment bank and served as the president, but he left after a few months. But within a few years, he transformed into Huade Real Estate's largest shareholder and chairman of the board, which surprised Song Ling.

Originally, Song Ling wanted to ask Zhong Yi to advise him, but the idea just passed by. After all, the other party is the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company, and no matter how much he offered, he couldn't outbid him, so he had to give up and put the public relations The focus is on Zhong Shi.

   It's just that he didn't expect that Zhongshi's net worth is even dozens of times that of Zhongyi. If he wanted to know this situation, he would definitely not come to visit so hastily.

Seeing Zhong Shi coming to greet him with a smile on his face, Song Ling couldn't help muttering in his heart. He had dealt with Zhong Shi before, and the words he said were quite ugly, because he was always afraid that Zhong Shi would **** him. his job. Although there is no such worry at all now, he still remembers that Zhong Shi is a person who is not easy to get close to. Accident.

Unexpectedly, Song Ling's face was immediately filled with a smile, and he took two quick steps, holding Zhong Shi's hand tightly, and said enthusiastically, "Mr. Zhong, it's been a long time. What have you been up to lately? Is it prosperous?"

Zhong Shi smiled, held Song Ling's hand with a little more strength, shook it, and then said: "The world is bad, and money is hard to earn. I don't know what kind of wind can bring Song Sheng here. I said Why did I hear magpies chirping when I went out this morning, I dare say that there is a distinguished guest coming to the door today!"

Zhong Shi's words made Ren Ruowei and Ma Jiarui behind him roll their eyes. No one knew that Zhong Shi lived in Repulse Bay facing the invincible sea view of Victoria Harbour. He said that it was possible to hear the sound of seagulls, but it was too nonsense to say that magpies .

However, Song Ling was very grateful in his heart. He thought that this kid was quite fooled. Seeing that today's matter is very likely to be negotiated, he said a few words of humility, and then he joined the Tianyu Fund with Zhong Shi and others. meeting room.

   "Who are they?" Through the bright glass partition, Song Ling pointed to the busy traders in the trading floor and asked puzzledly.

   "They?" Zhong Shi looked in the direction he was pointing, and then came to his senses. He rubbed his hands together in embarrassment, and said with a little embarrassment, "They are doing something, and I don't know exactly what they are doing."

He did not lie. Even though he worked with them every day, Zhong Shi still couldn't figure out what most researchers work every day. This was not only because of the clear division of labor within Tianyu Fund, but also because in different investment fields, relevant Research work is also different, and Zhong Shi has limited energy, so he can only focus on key investments.

It's just that hearing this in Song Ling's ears, this smart state-owned enterprise executive thought wrongly, because this kind of thing is absolutely impossible to happen within them. In order to show their absolute control over the department they manage, they can even do Pay attention to every detail. Thinking of this, Song Ling had doubts about Zhong Shi's position in Tianyu Fund.

  Before coming here, he had been hinted more than once that Zhong Shi was the controller behind Tianyu Fund, although the title on his business card was only a fund manager. But looking at it now, I'm afraid that what he heard was a bit exaggerated.

  Although he couldn't stop muttering in his heart, Song Ling still hid his doubts very well, and quickly explained his reason for coming here in detail.

"Want to ask me to be a consultant?" Zhong Shi couldn't help laughing, touched the bridge of his nose and asked in puzzlement, "Mr. Song, if I remember correctly, I promised Yanjing before, and I was originally your consultant. Bar?"

  As soon as Zhong Shi mentioned this, Song Ling's expression became somewhat unnatural. What Zhong Shi said was right, they had indeed hired people like Zhong Shi who were already well-known in the capital market, but Song Ling only held a conference call at the beginning in order to eliminate dissidents, and then there was no more follow-up .

However, Song Ling had already thought about this question before coming, so the unnatural expression on his face was only fleeting, and he replied calmly: "Mr. Zhong, you are right, there was an agreement before. It’s just that due to the large number of consultants and serious differences of opinion, we only listen to some of them selectively, and there is a process of eliminating the false and preserving the true.”

   "Since this is the case, does Mr. Song think my point of view is false or true?" Zhong Shi was still relentless and immediately asked.

Song Ling shook his head helplessly, showing a smiling face uglier than crying, and said rather discouraged: "Mr. Zhong, you really have to be reasonable. Well, I admit that I have neglected you before, It’s just that it’s out of public interest, after all, since I’m in charge of so much money, I must be responsible for the country, and I can’t waste a penny of public money.”

After speaking, he became more and more confident, and his voice gradually became louder, "Mr. Zhong, I don't think you are highly valued here, how about this, you jump to my place, don't say anything less, At least I will give you this number in a month." He opened his hands and shook his fingers towards Zhongshi, "One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, how about it?"

  A monthly salary of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars is not a lot, but it is already a lot in state-owned enterprises. After all, their salary standards are not on par with Hong Kong society. And the most important thing is that Hong Kong's economy is not doing well now, and those who used to be able to get this number casually now have to accept the reality of salary cuts.

   It should be said that Song Ling was very sincere in offering this number, but he didn't understand the situation of the person he wanted to recruit at all. Zhong Shi just smiled at this, and said in a flat tone: "How about this, Mr. Song, I can provide you with some professional advice. If international speculators attack the Hong Kong capital market again, I can help you with all my strength." You snipe them, as for the others, you can avoid it."

  A trace of disappointment rose in Song Ling's heart. He really wanted to recruit Zhong Shi under his command, but the other party had no intention of accepting it. However, Zhong Shi didn't say anything to death, and agreed to help him, which made him feel that he had achieved his goal.

   "However..." Zhong Shi obviously didn't finish his sentence, "Mr. Song, you should also know that there will be no pies in the sky. In exchange, I need you to do one thing for me."

   "Benefit exchange?" Song Ling's mouth twitched slightly, and he almost understood Zhong Shi's words. However, he didn't immediately agree. After thinking for a moment, he said slowly, "Mr. Zhong, I don't know what kind of conditions you want? If it's beyond my ability, I'm afraid I can't do anything."

"Of course it won't exceed your ability." Zhong Shi smiled and flatly denied, "It's just that I want a semi-official identity, just like a security consultant. It's just that the unit I'm linked to can be involved in finance That's fine, the official can be the Hong Kong government, the central government, or even a non-existent unit."

"..." Song Ling was amazed after hearing this. He didn't understand what Zhong Shi meant at all. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he raised his head again and said solemnly: "I can't promise you this for now. You need to apply to the above."

   Zhong Shi nodded.

  After the two parties finished their business talks, they began to discuss the current situation of Hong Kong stocks. While talking, he saw the door of the conference room being pushed open from the outside, and then a figure hurried in, it was Ren Ruowei. He was sweating profusely, with a nervous expression on his face. He didn't have any scruples about the presence of outsiders, and asked Zhong Shi directly: "The news just came from South Korea that the Seoul Bank was taken over by the government, and now the Korean won will soon Big drop, am I flat today?"

  Zhong Shi was a little embarrassed. He slapped his forehead and sighed. He said helplessly, "What are you asking me for? Make your own decision. But let me remind you first, don't forget our game!"

   "Don't worry!" Ren Ruowei rushed out again without looking back, and did not forget to say, "Just wait, Rolls-Royce, I will win!"

Song Ling, who had been listening with his ears pricked up, was so startled that his glasses fell off the floor. Then he looked at Zhong Shi, who didn't have the slightest expression fluctuation. Thinking of what he had just solicited, his face turned red, almost bleeding up.
