Chapter 6: Selling Southeast Asia

Amid the curiosity of passers-by, a dark and shiny luxury elongated Lincoln appeared at the door of the HSBC building.

The splendid body immediately attracted the attention of many people.

This kind of luxury car is worth more than two million US dollars, and there are no more than ten in Hong Kong.

Slightly, the door opened and three people came out of it.

One man and two women.

The Chinese man has a young face, a suit and leather shoes, and a gentlemanly atmosphere that mixes frivolity and elegance.

Of course, people's eyes on the man only swept away, and their attention involuntarily fell on the two women next to the man.

The woman in the front is dressed in a well-fitting white suit, outlining delicate curves, her complexion is better than snow, her attitude is elegant, and her dark eyes are radiant.

Compared with the delicacy and elegance of this woman, the woman who is one step behind makes people have to sigh at the magic of nature. Her long golden hair undulated like waves, her blue eyes were as gorgeous as jewels, and she swayed her steps in high heels like waves rolling back and forth.

Cohen Merryweather, who had been waiting for a long time, couldn't help but lose his mind for a while, but as the CEO of HSBC, his immunity to beauty was very comparable after all, so he quickly put away his eyes and walked forward quickly, stretching out his hand while showing the most elegant and enthusiastic smile on his face.

"Shen Sheng is here, and I am not welcome, please bear with me. ”

Shen Jiannan stretched out his hand, shook hands with Merrywether, and teased with a smile.

"Mr. Merrywether's Mandarin is really getting more and more fluent. ”

"Haha, Shen, long time no see. It's been good lately. ”

"Thank you for your concern. Quiet. ”

β€œ......”

The two chatted casually after the formal meeting, each with the most sincere smiles on each other, obviously these two had known each other for a long time.

No way, as the first major shareholder of Standard Chartered Bank, the name of Shen Jiannan, director of Capital One, has already spread throughout the Hong Kong financial circles, not to mention that Capital One still has $400 million in funds on the books of HSBC.

With such a large amount of liquidity, Whampoa Hutchison's books are not available at any time.

Politely complimenting each other, Merwedder looked at Lu Xinyue.

"Shen. Why don't you introduce me to this beautiful lady?"

Shen Jiannan's machismo has reached the point of perversion.

own woman, that is others can only look at from a distance, not appreciate.

Although there is nothing obscene in Merryweather's eyes, the taste of appreciation speaks for itself.

It's a blatant provocation.

It's just that on this occasion, after all, it can't be hindered, Shen Jiannan hooked the corners of his mouth with a smile.

"This is my personal secretary, Miss Lu Xinyue. ”

"Hello beautiful Miss Lu. Nice to meet you. ”

Merrywether said, holding out his hand.

Lu Xinyue smiled elegantly, and a hand was stretched out.

Then, Merry Weather bowed slightly, stopped Lu Xinyue's hand, and prepared to offer a big gift.

Capital One is one of the bank's biggest customers, and the lower the posture at this time, the more it will gain the favor of the other party.

Smack-

Merry Weather grabbed Lu Xinyue's hand and was about to give a kiss to the hand, when Kardashian, who suddenly moved, slashed her wrist with a hand knife, and involuntarily let go of her claws in pain.

Shen Jiannan almost laughed out of a pig cry, but there was a deep apology on his face.

"Oh. I'm so sorry, this is Xinyue's bodyguard An Ran, she doesn't understand your etiquette, I apologize for her. ”

Don't know the etiquette?

Shen Jiannan was obviously talking nonsense with his eyes open.

As a swallow secretly trained by the KGB, Kardashian was trained in the finest European royal etiquette.

Hell, I don't know etiquette.

To say embarrassing is for sure.

For a banker of British aristocratic origin, this is simply a disgrace.

But fortunately, Meryweather didn't know this, and even if he did, the wisest choice would be to pretend not to know.

Quietly putting his hand behind his back, he endured the pain and showed an apologetic look.

"I'm sorry. It's contemptible and abrupt. ”

"Oh. It's a misunderstanding, Merryweather, we're friends, aren't we? ”

"Yes. We're friends. ”

β€œ......”

The small episode did not dampen the enthusiasm of both parties, and after getting to know each other, the group walked back and forth into the bank building.

In a moment as fast as lightning, Shen Jiannan, who was secretly refreshed, quietly gave Kardashian a thumbs up.

Apparently, Kardashian understands what is going on in his heart.

After receiving the praise, Kardashian smiled amorous and threw a big eyebrow in her blue eyes.

The enthusiastic Ukrainian girl is a bit overwhelming.

Shen Jiannan didn't dare to accept the offer at all, and Kardashian, who was dejected, couldn't help laughing.

No one noticed the instantaneous meeting between the two.

Led by Merryweather, the group stepped into the building's dedicated elevator.

Suddenly, Shen Jiannan felt a pain in his waist.

You don't have to think about it to know that it must be Lu Xinyue who noticed the flow of the dark wave just now.

O woman!

Shen Jiannan sighed in his heart.

Obviously, many things can be accepted, but I still have to eat this meaningless vinegar, I really don't know what women think.

"Shen. I'm so sorry, I just saw an old friend and I need to go over and say hello to him. Miss Jiang Hui will take you up, and I will be there shortly. ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

Shen Jiannan smiled and made a gesture of please.

Dingβ€”β€”

Under Jiang Hui's operation, the elevator door rang crisply and slowly closed.

Soon, the group reached the twenty-second floor.

With Jiang Hui's arrangement, several people went to the reception room where HSBC received VIPs.

Charlie Cao should have been here for a long time, and he was chatting with a female clerk of the bank with a teacup with a lewd smile on his face, when he saw Shen Jiannan and his party coming in, his face instantly stood up.

"Boss. ”

Shen Jiannan didn't speak, and the two looked at each other. After exchanging meanings, the group took their seats.

Soon, the bank staff brought a few cups of coffee with a tray.

"Merrywether will be here soon, please wait a moment. ”

Really.

Before the coffee was cold, Meryweather came to the reception room with a smile on his face, followed by three executives who were obviously senior executives of the bank.

Although there was not much communication on the phone, with Meriweser's wisdom, he could naturally think that the chief lawyer and director of Capital One would come to the bank in person, and it would definitely be a big business to negotiate.

After some casual chat, Shen Jiannan mentioned the purpose of this appointment with HSBC.

"I want to short the real estate market. ”

β€œ......”

It's really big business.

The HSBC group looked at each other, and they didn't know how to speak for a while. It was only after they exchanged opinions that Merry Weatherer broke the silence.

"There are no index contracts or put options in real estate, so how do you want to short sell. ”

"Credit default swaps for U.S. mortgage bonds. You all know that. ”

This is nonsense.

Salomon Brothers once landed on the throne of Wall Street with this thing, and no one in the financial world knew about it.

Merry Weatherer was taken aback.

The U.S. housing market has been very sluggish in recent years, with mortgage breaks, and even the well-known New York real estate tycoon Shippedgist Group is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the chairman is even restricted from eating hamburgers every day.

At this time, if you short the U.S. housing market, if you sell the credit default swap of mortgage bonds, you are afraid that HSBC will have to go bankrupt at a loss.

Laughing dryly, Merweyser was a little embarrassed.

"Do you want to short the U.S....... housing market?

"NO, NO, NO, I didn't say I was going to short the U.S. housing market. I want to short the property in the Southeast Asian market. ”
