The Son of Finance of the Great Age

Chapter 393: black card invitation

  Chapter 393 Black Card Invitation

After half a month of busy work, Zhong Shi finally gathered a team of only ten people. This team is headed by Jian Zilin and adopts a self-operated model. All funds come from Zhong Shi's own money. The initial capital scale is 300 million U.S. dollars, equivalent to about 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

   Not long after, an asset management company registered in Hong Kong was officially established. This company called Skyline Asset Management (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. has a large fund management scale and is not open to the outside world. After this news caused a sensation in Hong Kong's financial circle, it gradually became indifferent because no more news could be detected.

  Although it is currently a semi-programmed transaction, Zhong Shi still plays an extremely important role in it: he is responsible for the approval of capital valves and risk control. This matter must be done by him personally, after all, others do not have his advantage.

Originally, everything was well prepared and could be started immediately after the funds were in place, but at this critical moment, Datong Hong Kong, which was depositing Zhongshi’s funds, suddenly called and warmly invited Zhongshi to their headquarters in Hong Kong. It is said that there is something important to discuss.

   "Tell me, what is the important thing that requires me to go there myself?"

  When Zhong Shi appeared in the luxury conference room on the top floor of Chase Hong Kong headquarters, the entire Chase Hong Kong executives sat there and applauded unanimously.

   This scene was not what Zhong Shi expected. However, he reacted very quickly, and after waving his hand to everyone in a very cooperative manner, he walked into the meeting room with his head held high, and sat in the middle seat unceremoniously.

  After taking his seat, Zhong Shi looked around and found that bankers in suits and leather shoes sitting around were all looking at him with smiles, with an indescribable expression on their faces, envy? envy? Or a heartfelt compliment?

  The white man sitting on his left didn't answer immediately. He just waved his hand, and saw the bankers standing up in unison, nodding slightly to Zhong Shi, and then filed out and left the conference room.

   "I heard that Mr. Zhong is going to mobilize a sum of 300 million US dollars in cash recently. I wonder if there is such a thing?" After the last person left, the ghost asked with a smile on his face.

Zhong Shi was slightly astonished, but he also knew that it was difficult to hide such a large amount of funds from the other party, so he nodded and said: "Yes, there is indeed such a thing. However, this is different from inviting me today. , is there any direct relationship, Johnny?"

   This ghost is called Zhuang Ni, and he is the chairman of Datong Hong Kong. He basically controls the business in the Asia-Pacific region.

   It needs to be explained that during the attack on the Mexican peso, Zhongshi borrowed a lot of pesos from Chase, and at the same time used their channels to buy and sell. The two parties have established a good cooperative relationship since then. Moreover, most of the U.S. Treasury bonds that Zhong Shi bought later were purchased through Chase's brokerage channel.

"Actually, it doesn't matter much." Zhuang Ni is tall and tall, and his voice is high-pitched and powerful, but facing Zhong Shi at this time, he is a little more ingratiating, so his voice is a little lower, "But Zhong Sheng you Don’t get me wrong, our liquidity at Chase is sufficient, and it won’t add any trouble to your business.”

  Generally speaking, the bank’s funds should be lent out as much as possible, and profits are made through the interest rate difference. Therefore, in the event of a large amount of cash withdrawal, the bank will stipulate that it needs to be notified a period of time in advance, so that they have enough time to prepare enough cash.

  Last year, during the worst period of the impact on the Hong Kong dollar, there was a small-scale run on the currency. However, due to the abundant cash reserves of various banks, the run was quickly subsided.

In order to reassure Zhong Shi, Zhuang Ni must first clear up the possible misunderstandings of Zhong Shi. After seeing Zhong Shi's face calmed down a lot, he continued: "Also, I have another question, I want to ask Zhong Sheng, I don't know Is it convenient for you to answer?"

Since there is no problem with the payment, Zhong Shi is naturally in a good mood, said haha, and said: "It depends on what the problem is. If it makes me difficult, I advise you not to talk about it, after all, everyone Not very familiar."

   "No embarrassment! No embarrassment!" The smile on Zhuang Ni's face became wider, "Actually, this matter basically has nothing to do with Zhong Sheng, but has something to do with our competitor of Chase Bank."

"Oh?" Zhong Shi suddenly became curious, and couldn't help asking, "Since you are your competitor, how could you have anything to do with me? I have to say, you have successfully aroused my curiosity. Since That’s it, then don’t bother to talk about it.”

   "The thing is like this..." Zhuang Ni said to Zhong Shi in detail as soon as his face straightened.

  It turned out that after the stock market crash in 1927, in order to prevent similar situations from recurring, the U.S. government issued a bill strictly prohibiting the mixed operation of large financial institutions, that is, prohibiting commercial banks from appearing in the capital market in other identities.

  For this reason, the financial giants at that time were split up one after another. Among them, the original owner of Chase Bank was split into two parts, one is the current Chase Commercial Bank, and the other is the well-known Stanley Corporation in the capital market.

  Although the two companies operate in different directions, they have never stopped fighting each other openly and secretly. After all, apart from the United States, other regions do not have such strict restrictions.

   Therefore, after Chase heard that Stanley Hong Kong had set up a so-called "Fortune Club", their top management discussed and decided to follow their example and set up a private wealth club. It's just that their ambitions are greater, not only requiring the recruitment of super rich businessmen on a global scale, but also more stringent requirements on funds.

   In return, Chase shouted out the grand slogan of "as long as the other party has any request, they will fulfill it". Of course, the content of this slogan is only limited within the scope of manpower and financial resources. Otherwise, if customers ask to assist them to land on Mars, Chase will not be able to do it anyway.

  The display is one of the symbols of membership of this club, which is a black supreme card.

   "It's this little card that allows you to do anything?"

  Looking at the black card handed over, Zhong Shi didn't follow up immediately, but looked at the other party leisurely, and said this rather playfully.

   Naturally, in any case, considering all aspects, Zhong Shi has the qualifications to enter this club. Although the club invited him to join him, Chase only considered it for a few days before decisively pulling Zhong Shi into the VIP category.

"Yes!" Seeing that the other party didn't show an ecstatic expression, nor did he reach out to accept the card, Zhuang Ni's scalp felt a little numb. He didn't expect the possibility of the other party's rejection. I don't know whether to hold on to it or withdraw it, "As long as we can do it, we will never refuse, and we will do our best to help customers complete it. You see, Zhong Sheng, let's take this piece of paper first." Card it!"

"Okay!" Zhong Shi reached out to take the card, played with it for a while, and found that there was nothing unusual about the design of this card, except that it was dark all over and had a Chase logo on it, and it was similar to ordinary credit cards and debit cards. Cards make no difference. After shaking his head slightly, he put the card into his wallet, "Is there any problem? If not, then I'll take my leave?"

   After speaking, he stood up and prepared to go outside. How could Zhuang Ni let Zhong Shi leave easily like this, and hurriedly shouted: "Zhong Sheng, don't leave yet. I haven't explained the purpose of this card to you in detail yet?"

  For Zhong Shi's calm reaction, Zhuang Ni is both jealous and admirable. Now that he finally has a chance to make friends, how could he give up so easily?

"Didn't you say that this card can do anything?" Zhong Shi was taken aback, then stopped, "But after your reminder, I really remembered something, maybe I can test this card immediately card creditworthiness."

"Really? That's great!" Zhuang Ni said with a smile instead of surprise, "Zhong Sheng, is there anything I need to convey? As long as you feed back your opinions, all institutions including Global UnionPay will We will fully cooperate to make your wish come true.”

   "If..." Zhong Shi pondered for a moment, and finally said, "I mean, if, if a large-scale racial massacre may occur somewhere, I wonder if you can help stop this human tragedy?"

"Is that so?" The smile on Zhuang Ni's face suddenly froze, and after silently calculating for a long time, he said a little impressively, "This matter is not impossible, it just depends on the situation of the other party, and if necessary How much will it cost? To be honest, it may require a lot of money, but I don’t know, Zhong Sheng, are you willing to pay such a price?”

"There is no problem with funding." Zhong Shi replied directly and decisively without the slightest hesitation, "Also, if you have a budget, you can report it to me first. Let me declare first that this country is attached to your US government. If the genocide I mentioned happened, the U.S. government would lose face. In fact, the suggestion I made to you is to prevent human tragedies from happening, and secondly, to add luster to the U.S. government, right? "

  As soon as the U.S. government was mentioned, Johnny didn’t dare to say anything more, and just kept nodding.

"Of course, these are just speculations, but the possibility is very high." Zhong Shi looked at his reaction and felt a little clear in his heart, "But you'd better prepare in advance, anyway, the other party is attached to the United States. The government, just say hello when the time comes. Since you said that this card is omnipotent, then I will try this condition first, and hope it will not disappoint me."

   As he spoke, he patted the wallet on his waist, looked at Zhuang Ni meaningfully, and then walked away.

  Although Zhong Shi said it casually, Zhuang Ni didn't dare to neglect, so he hurriedly passed the news to New York as soon as possible. Soon, all the organizations that supported the black card were mobilized. First, they analyzed the country or region that Zhong Shi mentioned, then discussed how to intervene, and finally calculated the cost.

   Three days later, they gathered most of their targets and finally locked the country as Indonesia. When the final result came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Among other things, the cornerstone of Indonesia's Suharto government's rule is the United States. If the United States is dissatisfied with it, Indonesia may collapse at any time.

And if it is a certain country in Africa, although Chase claims to be able to get things done as long as it can be done, even if it can persuade the United States to send troops to stop it, it will definitely bear a lot of pressure and cost in the end, and it may not be possible success.

  If this is the case, then the signboard of the black card was smashed before it was completely revealed.

Soon, around the potential request of Zhongshi, the consultants hired by the New York consortium began to move around in Washington, conducting public relations with the members of the US Congress, hoping that they could make a "moderate" impact on Indonesia at a "timely" time. s concern.

  At this time in Indonesia, the Suharto government is planning a big event, which will shake the financial circles around the world.

   First of all, I would like to thank the book friends Bulk Tofu and aaa215045 for voting for the monthly ticket! In addition, I am sorry that I need to say hello to everyone in advance... Due to the occurrence of some unpredictable events, the author's writing process during this period may be seriously affected, and it is likely that there will be no updates every day... Sigh, things are unpredictable , There are many things that no one wants to happen, and everything is impossible... I hope everyone can understand, the author can only take time to write something, I am really sorry, fellow book lovers...
