Chapter 55: Invitation

In fact, Zhong Shi is most concerned about the 500 million rumors.

After carefully analyzing the causes and consequences of this news, Zhong Shi came to a conclusion that this news should have been spread by insiders.

This is actually quite simple, and it can be inferred from the fact that this news first began to circulate in financial circles. First the financial circle, then the media, and then all the people in all walks of life knew about it.

It is also a blessing in disguise, perhaps the Aihua Society took a fancy to Liao Chengde's imminent bankruptcy, so it found him, because this kind of person is desperate to make a comeback, and is likely to be desperate, so it will be better controlled.

Zhong Shi's funds have been operated by the brokerage of Avery Far East, a British financial company that has benefited from the growing market in Hong Kong in recent years, and has successively purchased trading seats on exchanges around Shijie.

In his previous life, Zhong Shi's funds were operated through his own brokerage channel, so he didn't know much about the brokerage system, and before the bet with Andrew, he thought that the acquisition of a brokerage house was a very ordinary thing, but after he studied it carefully, he found that things were far from being as simple as he imagined.

Take the Hong Kong market as an example, as long as the brokers of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange, which operates futures, are market makers.

Market makers, also known as market makers, refer to some independent securities dealers in the financial market, who undertake the purchase and sale of a certain security for investors, and buyers and sellers do not need to wait for the appearance of the counterparty, as long as there is a market maker to assume the counterparty to conclude a transaction.

In other words, the market maker is a third trader sandwiched between the buyer and the seller, and when the seller sells the securities to the broker, the broker of the market maker can choose to hold the securities for a period of time or immediately match with the buyer according to the value of the security, and then earn the difference in price. And ordinary brokers only play the role of a matchmaker, earning commissions from it.

The Hong Kong Futures Exchange has certain preferential policies for these market makers, which are generally 80% reduction of handling fees and rent reduction.

If you want to become a market maker, you must have a large amount of your own funds and strong research capabilities, and generally this role is dominated by large investment banks, which have no shortage of money and talents, so they can play such a role in the rapidly changing market.

Money, Zhong Shi may not be lacking, but talent is very lacking, basically he makes decisions alone, and everyone else is a supporting role. In this case, it is possible to acquire a broker who wants to acquire a market maker, but it is difficult.

Another important point is that Zhongshi has not yet reached the age of a legal person, and without this identity, many things are not very easy to do.

After thinking about it, Zhong Shi finally gave up on the idea of acquiring a broker.

However, Zhong Shi did not dare to be careless about the confidentiality of the brokerage channel, he had already sensed that the Avery brokerage company might no longer be safe.

After a scrupulous analysis, Zhong Shi and Liao Chengde both believed that the original origin of the rumors was in the Averry Company, and as for who it was, they couldn't guess who it was.

But one thing is for sure, it will definitely not be Andrew.

A very simple reason, if this news is spread by Andrew, the amount will definitely not be as small as 500 million Hong Kong dollars. Andrew knows the details of their transaction very well, and is the second core person in their small team after Liao Chengde, and even plays a role more than Liao Chengde in some places.

Apart from Andrew, the only other person who knows the inside story of the account is the general manager of the Far East, but he can't do it, because it will anger Bell Stone, and if they withdraw their funds, the company will lose a large amount of commission. This is obviously not a good thing for his future, and I believe that no one with normal intelligence will do it.

The only possibility is that a small clerk heard Zhong Shi and Liao Chengde inadvertently chatting about Liao Xiaohua, and inexplicably thought that Liao Chengde had made so much money, and this was why rumors appeared.

Zhong Shi and Liao Chengde's guesses were not much different from the real situation, but what they didn't expect was that there was some credit to Liao Xiaohua in this matter.

This matter has to start with Liao Xiaohua's flowers, when he appeared in the agency of Affrey, he saw a beautiful front desk lady, and he was itchy for a while, so he teased a few words. Later, he was severely reprimanded by Liao Chengde, and there was no follow-up.

But the girl who was provoked by Liao Xiaohua fell in love, this girl named Liang Wanru originally graduated from a prestigious university in Hong Kong, and her scheming was not ordinarily deep, she originally entered the financial industry, just to be able to catch a golden beetle son-in-law, and the cold face that day was also out of the psychology of wanting to welcome and refuse, after all, she studied psychology.

It's a pity that her efforts were used in the wrong place, Liao Xiaohua was afraid of her father's authority, and never dared to tease her again, which made Liang Wanru disappointed, after carefully arranging a few "chance encounters", Liao Xiaohua still didn't say anything, her heart sank, and she was resentful.

A woman's mind is very strange, "if you are near, you are not inferior, and if you are far away, you will be resentful" is the most appropriate description. Liang Wanru knew that Liao Xiaohua was a playboy at all, often appeared on the covers of gossip magazines, and eyebrows with female stars, originally this kind of person was by no means a good match, but she was confident that she had the ability to control Liao Xiaohua in her hands, so she didn't take these things to heart.

Liang Wanru's dream of a wealthy family lasted for more than two years, and it had faded a lot, but Liao Chengde's family encountered a kidnapping case at the right time, which made Liang Wanru's skull in her throat begin to hurt faintly again.

Not long ago, she occasionally heard Zhong Shi and Liao Chengde chatting, and the words "500 million" were faintly revealed between the words, and the expressions of the two chatting at that time were quite relaxed, not like they were in debt, so she took it for granted that Liao Chengde made 500 million Hong Kong dollars in the market.

Out of revenge, she privately leaked the news to people in the circle. Suddenly, the news spread rapidly like wings, and finally appeared in the financial newspaper, causing a small storm.

When the news of Liao Chengde's refutation of the rumors came out, Liang Wanru was still scared for a long time, she never expected that it was her favorite son-in-law who lost 500 million Hong Kong dollars in a gamble, not as she imagined. In addition to being afraid, she was also glad that she didn't succeed at the beginning, otherwise she would have become a big joke now.

Naturally, her little caution about Liao Xiaohua also disappeared, so that when she met Liao Xiaohua in the brokerage house later, she looked cold. Liao Xiaohua also wondered for a long time what happened to the enthusiastic hospitality lady before.

That's all for later.

After Zhong Shi realized that there was a problem with the brokerage, he had a plan to change the brokerage company, but Andrew was still in Avery, which was where he made his fortune, and besides, there was an uncashed bet between them, so it was even more difficult for him to open up in this case.

Zhongshi decided to have a good talk with Andrew.

"Andrew, what are your plans for the future?" In the VIP room of Far Eastern Finance Building, Zhong Shi looked at the hot coffee in front of him and asked a little casually.

Now the weather is already a little hot, this season is the most suitable to drink cooler coffee, but Zhong Shi just likes a higher temperature drink, the reception staff of Avery is very careful, the taste of Zhong Shi and others remember clearly, even the coffee beans are specially to buy.

"Uh...... Zhong Sheng, what do you mean by that? ”

Andrew was stunned, he had been in Hong Kong for so long, and he still didn't adapt to the habit of speaking in the Chinese-speaking world. He hated this way of speaking in a way that concealed his true purpose deeply and went around and around, but now he has a lot of understanding.

Zhong Shi came up to chat, and even asked about his career plan, which seemed to be concerned, but in fact, Andrew knew it and knew that Zhong Shi must have something else to say, so he asked rhetorically.

"Oh! It's nothing, I just want to ask you, do you plan to live like this for the rest of your life in a brokerage house? ”

Zhong Shi didn't expect that Andrew's reaction would be so fast, and he immediately grasped the point of his speech. He simply didn't hide it, and said it directly.

"So Zhong Sheng, what do you mean?"

Andrew vaguely guessed something, and he couldn't help but get a little excited, but before he got a formal promise, he still couldn't be sure if Zhong Shi was what he thought.

The brokerage company has a complete set of promotion system, in fact, many traders start from the lowest position, there is a movie in later generations, called "Happiness Knocks on the Door", that is, about a penniless person from the lowest position of the brokerage company to call customers everywhere, and finally set up their own brokerage company.

In addition to going down this path, there are other ways out, such as setting up your own fund and so on.

Different from those brokers who ran all over the street in later generations, these people have strict and solid professional knowledge and have received systematic and rigorous training. Those brokers in later generations only know a little bit of indicator analysis, and they don't even have the qualifications of brokers, so they dare to blatantly pull people to open accounts.

Once the haode system was introduced in many foreign companies, it quickly changed shape, and some even became notorious, such as insurance brokers.

In the final analysis, it is still because of the differences in the construction of the domestic legal system and the implementation of the law, which have caused the differences between some industries and their counterparts abroad.

"Mess with me!"

Zhong Shi took a sip of his already slightly cold coffee, foam staining his lips.

"Good!"

Andrew agreed.

For Zhongshi's development in recent years, Andrew has seen it in his eyes, and it can be said that he is the only person who knows Zhongshi's financial affairs. It is precisely because of this that he agreed so readily.

Just imagine, as long as there is a little care from this kind of person, his net worth can immediately increase tenfold or dozens of times, how can this temptation be rejected! (The zuihou chapter of the second volume will meet you tomorrow, and the content of the recent chapters has been revised to a certain extent, hoping to live up to everyone's expectations.) )
