Chapter 883: Knocking
Seeing that Chen Dahe acquiesced to the investment plan he formulated, Jerome couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
Counting the spare 2 billion, a total of nearly 20 billion US dollars in a single investment, not to mention that he has never done it before, and he has never even heard of it, since the beginning of the records in the banking industry, has there been any time that the investment principal in the public financial market has reached this level? Anyway, Jerome didn't know, so what he was most worried about this time was that Chen Dahe would deny his investment plan.
The depreciation of the US dollar against the currencies of major countries, especially against the yen, will be one of the most important investment opportunities after World War II, the reason why the main battlefield is in Japan, that is because Japan is also seeking industrial transfer and capital exports, that is, in recent years, Western countries advocate deindustrialization, Jerome in the world's traditional manufacturing center of Western Europe, how can not understand the importance of the industrial system, compared to Japan that is about to fall into the trap, France, Britain and Germany and other countries that adhere to the industrial bottom line are far from enough space for speculation.
Whether it was for himself or to push the bank one step further, he didn't want to miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and after careful analysis, the probability of success was very high, coupled with the confidence that Chen Dahe gave him before, he planned such a large-scale financial war with the mentality of a gambler.
In fact, despite the prosperity of the Third International Bank in recent years and the fact that its business has become bigger and bigger, it is impossible to come up with $20 billion in funds at once, and the amount he can raise is only $10 billion, and this is the result of selling off a large number of high-quality assets and securities, and the remaining $9 billion comes from peers and investors.
Tens of billions of dollars of capital flow, it is impossible not to alarm other large European banks, so in the process of preparation, there are constantly people to Jerome to send inquiries, seeking opportunities for cooperation, after careful analysis of the strategic planning department, Jerome carefully considered, decided to have a limited acceptance of the same peers, some investors of the fund custody request, that is, only to operate the project, after the end of the project fund custody will also end accordingly, the set condition is to provide security guarantee for this part of the funds in the name of the third international bank and its subsidiaries, and correspondingly, the third bank extracts a profit commission as high as a rare 50 percent, even if such a high commissionIn the end, after negotiation, there were still as many as 52 funds that agreed to the conditions and were entrusted to the trusteeship, which became the origin of the 9 billion dollars.
There is no way, who told them to open a capital protection clause, and it is not a conventional bank capital guaranteed custody fund, and there are few investment management institutions that dare to give this promise, and if you miss it, you will be gone.
Lowering his head and thinking about it, Jerome thought that such a big matter, although the boss did not object, still had to give him an explanation, so he said softly, "Sir, I know that it is a very risky act to accept external funds to participate in investment this time, especially the principal protection clause, but I have my considerations." ”
"I know," Chen Dahe smiled with his mouth open, took a sip of coffee, and said softly, "Since you are interested in launching the bank out of Europe and building it into a first-class world-class bank, then you must not ignore it in the future in the area of fund management, take advantage of this investment opportunity, pull a group of people to let them see our investment capabilities, and after the project is over, no matter which one their previous custodian institution is, I believe that there will be many people who are willing to hand over the funds to us and become fat in one go, there are not many such opportunities!"
Jerome was stunned for a moment, then gave a thumbs up with emotion, " The boss is the boss, I guessed all my thoughts, if the plan can be successful, the so-called guarantee clause is fictitious, we can also harvest a large amount of commissions, if the plan fails, we can not lose all of it, at most it is to lose part of their principal, their capital security is still guaranteed, and after the failure, the bank is unable to expand, it doesn't matter what large amount of money custody customers, think about it, are more beneficial than harmful, so I made this decision. ”
Chen Dahe shrugged, put down the coffee cup in his hand, looked at Jerome and said, "Jerome, although I can understand your thoughts, there is a question I still have to make clear to you." ”
Jerome's face straightened, straightened his back and said, "Please speak." ”
"One is one, two is two," Chen Dahe raised a finger and stared at Jerome's eyes and said, "I hope you can clearly remember this concept when making any decisions in the future, it doesn't matter if you accept any fund custody request, even if you take the initiative to find it, it doesn't matter what conditions are offered, but don't use the name of other companies, let alone use them as guarantees!" This is not an investment, but the bank is selling products, and the income obtained by the bank through the custody business, and its companies do not receive a penny, and correspondingly, they naturally cannot act under their banner, right?!"
With Chen Dahe's words, Jerome couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and as soon as the boss's voice fell, he nodded again and again, "Yes, I remember, I will never make this kind of mistake in the future!"
At the same time, Jerome's mind turned fast, this kind of thing has happened to banks before, after all, they all belong to the same system, it is impossible to distinguish so clearly, and the boss never asked before, but he mentioned it this time, it is not the reason for the matter itself, but there is another deep meaning.
Obviously, his audacity caused the dissatisfaction of the boss, nothing else!
Chen Dahe quietly looked at Jerome who was restless, and then grinned, "Okay, take it easy, I don't blame you, it's just that when you make an investment plan this time, your mentality is indeed not normal, think about it yourself after you go back, a fund manager can gamble based on his investment philosophy, but you are a banker, not a simple speculative gambler, you must be responsible for the entire company, and you will naturally see many things clearly if you figure it out!"
Although this investment is what he meant, and he also agreed to Jerome's radical plan, but one yard to another, Jerome's behavior of raising nearly $20 billion without his consent, as well as the loan to EO Group a year ago, have already touched his bottom line, but at that time, because of Oliver, he couldn't speak, and now he doesn't have so many scruples, although it will not be punished, but there will still be a necessary beating.
Putting the word gambler on a banker is not an ordinary weight.
Jerome's face was swollen and red, and in addition to being ashamed in his heart, he also began to reflect on his behavior during this time, which seemed to be indeed a little radical, and after calming down a little, he secretly warned himself not to be touted by those European and American bankers, and forget his position, let alone his identity!
