Chapter 243 This fan is a bit of an idiot

  The man delivered the menu to Zhong Shi, it was a bit tentative. He had seen the scene outside the restaurant before, and was a little surprised by Yuan Yunzhi's reaction, which had always been unkind, and now he was thinking about it.

Zhong Shi smiled slightly, took the menu casually, put it down gently, and snapped his fingers in mid-air. The waiter who had been waiting at the side hurried over and asked respectfully: "Zhong Sheng, is it the same as usual?" ?”

The waiters here are quite eye-catching. It has long been seen that this restaurant has a fixed group of diners every day. Although these people are not well-dressed, they all have extraordinary bearings. They are almost like strolling here. , without the slightest scruple that this is a high-end restaurant, obviously not paying attention to the expensive price here.

  Especially this Mr. Zhong, although he doesn't appear here many times, every time he shows up, almost all the regular customers follow him like stars. After a few contacts, the waiters here have already got a clear idea of ​​everyone's tastes, and this Mr. Zhong is no exception.

  Zhong Shi nodded, handed the menu to Yuan Yuanzhi, and introduced: "The veal here is good, and there is red wine from 1982, do you want to try it?"

  Luo Meiling suddenly showed contempt on her face, and said eccentrically: "A bottle of red wine costs several thousand yuan, and if you add other things, it may cost tens of thousands. It's better to save it."

It was agreed that this meal was a treat for her cheap boyfriend, and she herself had never been to such a high-end restaurant for dinner, but occasionally heard how expensive the food here was, when she heard Zhong Shi recommending it to Yuan Yuanzhi, she felt I am dissatisfied.

  The waiter on the side was a little dazed. In my impression, this group of people had no intention of paying the bill at all. They basically left after eating, and the manager here didn't care. Only later did he know that this restaurant was originally an internal restaurant, and some areas were opened to the public later, so the expenses of these people are settled monthly, and they do not need to pay for it themselves.

   Now that the female guest told about the checkout, she obviously didn't understand the situation here. It stands to reason that foreign diners are not allowed to sit in this area, but Mr. Zhong brought these people himself, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

   "Let me pay the bill!" Seeing the awkward atmosphere, the man in suit and leather shoes took the initiative to say, "It's a rare visit, so don't worry about it so much."

  As soon as Zhong Shi said this, Zhong Shi developed a lot of affection for him. Although he felt that this man had plans for Yuan Yunzhi beside him, how could Zhong Shi take him seriously?

   "Let's meet, Chris, Cheng Yijia, Vice President of Peregrine's Fixed Income Department." Several people ordered food, and taking advantage of their spare time, the man took out a business card and handed it to Zhong Shi with both hands.

   "Peregrine..." Zhong Shi took the business card, glanced at it slightly, and frowned.

  The current Peregrine is the leader in the Asian capital market. In 1996, its operating income exceeded 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was only a little less than Merrill Lynch, the leader of the US investment bank at that time. The complacent executives of Peregrine even declared that they will enter the US capital market this year and strive to become the number one in the global investment banking industry.

  But no one would have thought that such a giant in the capital market would declare bankruptcy in the second year after reaching its peak, and the speed of decline is unbelievable.

The reason why Peregrine went bankrupt was that in addition to facing the Asian financial crisis and the poor performance of the capital market in the entire region, it also underwrote a large amount of bonds from Indonesia, which happened to coincide with the sharp drop in the Indonesian rupiah, and these bonds immediately became worthless As a result, the entire Peregrine was dragged down and then destroyed.

   Now, I am afraid that Peregrine is nervously preparing for the preliminary work of this bond, so it recruits a large number of interns.

  Seeing Zhong Shi looking over and over with his business card, Luo Meiling despised Zhong Shi even more, and deliberately said: "Mr., I don't know where you are high school? Yuan Gee, why didn't you introduce this gentleman?"

   "He..." Yuan Yuanzhi glanced at Zhong Shi, and then remembered that she didn't know Zhong Shi's identity, so he couldn't help but hesitate, and secretly pushed Zhong Shi.

   Zhong Shi, who came back to his senses, was taken aback for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Call me Andy, I'm just a financial reporter, very ordinary. I'm really sorry, I didn't bring my business card today, I made you laugh."

  As for the identity of the reporter, he has already thought about it since the last time he saw Yuan Yunzhi. Because of such a status, being able to board the favorite private yacht has become a matter of course, as a private interview.

   Sure enough, when he mentioned the financial reporter, Yuan Yuanzhi showed a sudden realization expression on his face. The man surnamed Cheng smiled and didn't say much, but Luo Meiling gave Zhong Shi another big white eye.

  For this snobbish woman, Zhong Shi just pretended that she didn't exist, he just kept chatting with Yuan Yunzhi, and said a few words to that Cheng Yijia from time to time, pretending that he didn't hear Luo Meiling's sarcastic remarks.

  The repeated provocations did not get a response, and Luo Meiling also lost interest in Zhong Shi, and instead acted coquettishly to Cheng Yijia.

   "Darling, have you noticed that there are two people next to us staring at us all the time, maybe they are bad guys?" Luo Meiling leaned close to Cheng Yijia's ear and whispered, while quietly looking at Andrew.

   "Don't talk nonsense!" Cheng Yijia reprimanded in a low voice, and then turned his head to take a look. He was stunned for a moment. He immediately stood up and walked towards Andrew and Liao Xiaohua.

   Zhong Shi and Yuan Yuanzhi, who were joking, immediately noticed Cheng Yijia's strange behavior, they stopped talking at the same time, and looked in the direction Cheng Yijia was walking.

  Andrew and Liao Xiaohua observed for a long time, and saw that Zhong Shi was only talking to the girl next to him, and he was indifferent to others, so he understood in his heart. It's just that the stalking skills of the two of them are really not very good, and they were discovered after only a short while.

  Seeing the man at the same table as Zhong Shi approaching, the two turned their heads and pretended to continue their meal. Andrew glanced at Zhong Shi quickly, and found that he shook his head imperceptibly, so he blinked his eyes, indicating that he understood.

   "Excuse me, are you Mr. Andrew?" Cheng Yijia stretched out his hand from a long distance before reaching Andrew's table, with a warm smile on his face.

  Andrew was taken aback for a moment. He thought this person was just passing by, but he didn't expect that he came to visit him. He wiped his mouth with a dining cloth, stood up, stretched out his hand slightly, and said, "I'm Andrew, may I ask who you are?"

"So you are really Mr. Andrew." The smile on Cheng Yijia's face became wider, "Chris, Peregrine. I have listened to your analysis on macroeconomics several times, and your speech is very good. You really deserve to be the chief executive of Tianyu Fund. Strategist."

   "..." Andrew was speechless for a while, he never expected to meet his "fan" here. He has a clear understanding of his own fame and knows that it is nothing more than a greedy effort, so at this time his posture is very low, and he said indifferently: "It's all random analysis. Since you are also in the industry, You know the rules of this line."

"It is because I am also a person in the industry that I know how powerful your research capabilities are, even stronger than ours. This makes our analysts extremely admire." Cheng Yijia smiled flatteringly, and his posture was relaxed. Very low, even a little groveling.

  The three people here were a little surprised to see Cheng Yijia's humble appearance, especially Luo Meiling. She spends the most time with Cheng Yijia, and knows how proud this seemingly amiable man is in his bones. In private, he always treats his colleagues with a posture of indifference.

   "I don't know if Mr. Andrew plans to change places. If you want to, we must be the chief economist of Peregrine." After complimenting for a long time, Cheng Yijia finally expressed his intention.

   "You?" Andrew was taken aback for a moment, and then looked at the business card forced by Cheng Yijia in his hand, "Fixed Income Department, Vice President? According to your level, I'm afraid you are not qualified to say such a thing, right?"

  Cheng Yijia's face suddenly revealed an embarrassing expression. After all, he is only the third level in the investment bank hierarchy. Above him are executive directors and managing directors, and above him there is a board of directors. The chief economist is at least at the level of managing directors, which is very different from his current level.

   But Cheng Yijia is qualified to speak out soliciting words, because he has a major shareholder's father who holds more than 4% of Peregrine's shares, and is quite important even in the board of directors.

   Without this level of status, with his education and ability, I am afraid that whether he can enter Peregrine is a problem.

   It must be explained that Peregrine is not listed, so outsiders are not clear about the shares. At present, Peregrine is divided into two factions. One faction is headed by the investment banking department and the capital market department, and the other is headed by the transaction sales department and the fixed income department. Overwhelm each other.

  Because Indonesia intends to issue a huge amount of bond financing during this period, Peregrine sent a strong public relations team to Indonesia to try to get this big deal. However, the currency in Southeast Asia is currently somewhat unstable, and Peregrine urgently needs highly capable scholars to join in, in order to avoid currency risks with the most accurate and professional analysis and judgment.

  In this case, Andrew, who has recently successfully predicted the trend of the Thai baht, has come into the sight of Peregrine.

However, through temporary contact, Peregrine was surprised to find that the strength of Tianyu Fund shrouded in fog was not weaker than those famous hedge funds in the United States. In terms of treatment, Peregrine thought it could not provide it, and finally recruited this Things can only be done.

   Unexpectedly, Cheng Yijia, the second generation ancestor, unexpectedly mentioned it again in front of Andrew, and it was not in an official capacity. This is simply child's play! Andrew thought maliciously in his heart.

  This fan is a bit of an idiot!

   Thank you very much for book friend ai66, who made me think about it, and the Zebra Center for voting monthly!
