The four witches on that side went around Li Chong again, let's not mention it first, Li Chong slept after getting on the plane, and when he woke up, he went directly to Chicago, he didn't sleep all night, this time it was really enough to make up for sleep. I waited here in Chicago for an hour and then transferred to LaGuardia Airport in New York.

There are three major airports in New York, namely John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport, and Newark Airport. JFK International Airport is full of international flights, and large passenger planes that fly directly from various countries have set this place as their terminus; LaGuardia Airport is the hub for domestic flights in the United States; The final Newark airport is a diversion station between JFK and LaGuardia, but each airport is busy with people.

Before Li Chong got on the plane, he called Louiston Guò of JPMorgan Chase and said what time his flight would arrive in New York and which airport he would get off the plane at. So when he came out of the terminal, he saw a black man holding a big sign with "stevenlee" written in English, and Li Zhong waved his hand to greet him.

"Hello, is that Mr. Li?" The black man asked.

Li Chong nodded, "Yes, I'm Li Chong." ”

"Sir, you wait a minute, I'll go to the parking lot to get the car!" As soon as the black man saw that he had received the main master, he went to the parking lot.

Li Zhong raised his head and looked at the familiar sunshine, and said secretly in his heart, "New York, I'm back!" ”

At this time, a Rolls-Royce stopped next to Li Chong, and the black man got out of the car and put Li Chong's luggage into the trunk, "Sir, get in the car, I'll take you to the hotel first!" ”

After Li Chong got into the car, he was a little puzzled, how much money did he have in JPMorgan Chase? How can you use such a high reception standard?

After arriving at the hotel, Li Chong was even more sure that he should really have a lot of money at JPMorgan Chase, because this hotel is the St. Regis Hotel located at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and 55th Street.

The St. Regis is one of the most exclusive hotel symbols in the world, representing a high level of service that is absolutely private. It has a long history, with the first St. Regis Hotel opened in New York in 1904 by John Jacob Astor IV to provide a place for his mother to have banquets and parties with his high-class friends, and Astor entertained them with an all-European service. This service was unique in the industry and quickly made the St. Regis a classic in the global hospitality industry, and Astor was one of the richest people in the world at the time. Now the St. Regis has been acquired by hotel giant Starwood and is a high-end hotel owned by Starwood.

"Sir, we have booked the Presidential Suite for you, you can rest for a while, and later Mr. Louis will come and invite you to lunch!"

When Li Zhong entered the presidential suite, he was still in a trance, although he vaguely guessed that he should have a lot of money in JPMorgan Chase, but he didn't need such a high salary, even if it was the chairman of Samsung, that's it!

Li Zhong rested for half an hour, and Louis arrived, "Hello, Mr. Li! Louis stretched out his hand after seeing Li Chong, and a smile appeared on Yan Sù's face.

Li Zhong looked at the middle-aged man named Louis in front of him, a tall figure unique to white people, a well-fitting gray suit, a blue tie, simple with a touch of luxury, especially the hand that stretched out to Li Chong with an antique watch from Vacheron Constantin.

Li Chong also stretched out his hand, "Luis, just call me Steven, it's nice to know you!" Come in and sit for a while? Or go straight to the restaurant? "To be honest, Li Chong is already a little hungry.

"Well then, Steven! Let's go to the restaurant, don't you Orientals like to talk about things at the dinner table! Louis said with a smile.

At this time, it was lunchtime, and the restaurant of the St. Regis Hotel was already full of diners, and Li Zhong followed Louis to a window seat and sat down.

"Steven, let's order something first, his steak and foie gras are good, you can try it. I'll talk to you about what we're going to talk about when I'm done. Louis called a waiter and said to Lee.

Li nodded emphatically, anyway, he didn't know why he came over, so let's listen to what Louis had to say first.

After a while, they both ordered food, and Louis opened a bottle of wine: "Drink this at noon, and in the evening I will take out my treasured 1990 Romanée Conti, Larry, the old fellow has been hungry for a long time." ”

Although Li Chong does not know much about wine, he is often instilled by the witch Li Xiaoli with the wine produced by Romanée Conti, the "first garden in the world".

After the waiter went down, Louis straightened his tie and said to Li Zhong, "Let me formally introduce myself, I am the head of the investment management department of JPMorgan Chase, and this time I am looking for you so urgently because there is a fund in your name that has passed the authorized authority, and now we and your authorized person can no longer control this fund, it is constantly tumbling in the ocean of finance every day, the amount of funds is increasing or decreasing, and we need these assets in your name now." ”

Li Zhong looked at Louis very confused, the head of the investment management department of the world's largest financial institution sat in front of him and told him that they needed the funds in their own name, which is a bit ridiculous, even if he has a lot of funds in his name, the authorization authority he signed at the beginning is only 100 million US dollars, which may be an astronomical amount to him, but isn't it a drop in the bucket at JPMorgan Chase?

"Wait a minute, Louis, I heard you right, you mean you need the funds in my name?" Li Zhong asked confusedly.

"I know you're confused, I'll explain it to you in detail in a moment, and I hope this matter can be resolved, of course, the sooner the better." Louis was not as urgent as he was when he called Li Chong before.

The steak came up, and the wine was very good, and Luis continued as he ate it, "Since last year, there have been a series of crises in the financial market, but with the intervention of the world's major financial institutions, although the global financial market is somewhat turbulent, it is still in the past. However, since the beginning of this year, major financial institutions have begun to announce large-scale losses in 2007, so that the economic crisis is already looming, and you should have some sense of this. ”

Lee nodded again, the filming plans of many Korean film companies have been stranded, and a large amount of money has been consumed in financial products, as can be seen from Ahn Bingji's filming of "Speed Scandal", his partner withdrew because he had no money.

"Steven, to be precise, the current asset in your name is not US dollars, but a financial product called CDS (Credit Default Exchange), which is the opposite of CDO (Secured Debt Debt Certificate). In the real estate lending market, in order to share the risk and share the return, the loan company finds an investment bank, and the investment bank securitizes it, resulting in a CDO. And CDS is the insurance of the CDO. At this point, the smile on Louis's face was gone.
