Chapter 242: The Battle of the "Official" Base (2)
"Sir, if you don't have an appointment, you can't go in!"
The beautiful lady at the reception said softly to Zhong Shi. She has been in this position for a long time, and she has long developed a pair of fiery eyes, and she does not dare to underestimate anyone who comes here to visit, because everyone who has the courage to visit the Quantum Fund has a net worth of hundreds of millions.
When Zhong Shi walked in the door, the lady in charge of reception noticed him, although he was very young, but there was no timidity on his face, his voice was loud, full of confidence, and there was a faint condescending taste, and most importantly, this young man was still a little handsome, which was really exciting and enviable. But the one who followed him, although the clothes on his body were very bright, but he felt a little timid, coupled with his unattainable dignity, it can be described as obscene.
If Ma Jiarui knew that he was this image in the minds of the front desk lady, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.
Although she had a good impression of Zhong Shi in her heart, the front desk lady had to put away the little caution in her heart and put on a businesslike appearance, but she tried to lower her tone and soften her tone when she spoke, hoping that the other party could detect her intentions.
Zhong Shi naturally didn't care about these small details, after being refused, he touched his chin, and after a moment of silence, he asked the front desk lady for a pen and paper, wrote a few words on it, and then handed it back to the front desk lady who was at a loss, and said, "Sue this thing to Rodney. Jones, I think he's going to show up soon. ”
Looking at the big "horizon" on the white paper, the expression of the front desk lady was confused. After glancing at Zhong Shi suspiciously, he dialed the internal phone with some hesitation.
Don't want to be two minutes later Rodney. Jones's figure appeared right at the front desk. As soon as he appeared, he glanced at Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui, shook his head imperceptibly, and then turned his head to look at the beautiful front desk lady, and asked in a deep voice with a little dissatisfaction: "Alina, where is the person who said that he was the Tianyu Fund just now?" ”
"You're Rodney. Jones, right? Zhong Shi touched the tip of his nose, stretched out his right hand a little embarrassed, and introduced himself. I am the manager of Tianyu Fund. Bell Stone. ”
Looking at Rodney. Jones's obviously stunned expression, Zhong Shi's face showed a look of surprise, and he pulled Ma Jiarui and introduced: "This is the senior partner of Tianyu Fund, Mr. Ma Jiarui. You can call him Chris. ”
Rodney. Jones was a burly, middle-aged man. The brown hair is already a little gray. He has a tall eyebrow bone and deep eyes that are typical of Caucasians, and thin lips under a large nose. If you leave your identity aside, no one can guess. This unremarkable middle-aged white man turned out to be the top trader who leveraged the Asian currency market.
"You're Bell Stone?" The stunned expression was just in Rodney. Jones's face flashed, and the next moment he stretched out his hand towards Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, and shook it vigorously, "I don't know if Mr. Zhong is here, what important things do you want to talk about?" It's hard to say that you're planning to put your money into our fund, and if that's the case, we're really flattered! ”
In addition to studying the economy of the Asian region, the Quantum Fund has set up an office in Hong Kong, which also means to attract local funds. You must know that although Hong Kong is only a small place, there are many super-rich people in the world, and if you can absorb the funds of these people into the investors of the quantum fund, they will have a lot of extra income every year in terms of management fees alone.
"Mr. Jones is really good at laughing!" Zhong Shi quietly withdrew his palm, looked around, and then said leisurely, "Is Mr. Jones going to talk to me here and not invite me in to sit down?" ”
"Oh my god, what a mistake I made!" Rodney. Jones made a sudden realization, wiped the sweat on his forehead with his hand, and then said with an apologetic face, "Mr. Zhong is a distinguished guest, and we must treat him with the highest level of etiquette." I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhong, please wait, I'll go and prepare. ”
After speaking, he glanced at the front desk lady, and without waiting for Zhong Shi to say anything, he hurried to the room inside.
"Zhong Sheng, what does he mean by this?" While the front desk lady went to serve coffee, Ma Jiarui asked Zhong Shi in a low voice, "How do you look at his expression, he is not very reluctant to our visit, and he even hangs us here, is there such hospitality?" ”
"Absolutely!" Zhong Shi nodded disappreciatively, and after looking around, a narrow smile appeared on his face, "If it is a great enemy of life and death, no matter how much hospitality is excessive. Are you right? ”
"I see!" Ma Jiarui nodded thoughtfully and didn't say anything more.
Five minutes later, when Rodney. After Jones cleaned up, he walked out with a smile on his face, and apologized to Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui, who were leisurely drinking coffee, "This is really a huge surprise, Mr. Zhong Shi, welcome to the Hong Kong office of Quantum Fund." Your brother is our investor, and we would love to see you as one of our investors. Here, please, two distinguished gentlemen. ”
Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui looked at each other and smiled, and strode towards the office area of the Quantum Fund one after the other.
This is a small rented office, at most 500 feet as far as the eye can see, and the location of the hall occupies about 300 feet, with dozens of computers and telephones scattered around. Traders poked their heads out curiously to see who was able to make Rodney. Jones himself went out to greet him, but when they saw a young man and another unattractive fellow, their faces were disappointed.
Stepping on the soft carpet, Zhong Shi was perfunctory and Rodney. Jones talked, quietly surveying his surroundings, except for some necessary office equipment, the decoration of the rest of the Quantum Foundation's office in Hong Kong can only be described as lackluster. Old yellowed wallpaper, slightly old tables and chairs. Messy tabletops, littered garbage, and even folding beds under some traders' desks.
These are not surprising, the life of a trader is inherently chaotic. It's just funny that the TVs embedded in the walls are all playing CNBC programs, and the traders' Bloomberg terminals are also full of the trends in the European and American capital markets.
Oh, my God! It's daytime in Hong Kong, which European and American capital markets are open now?
After a cursory look at the office area, Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui were taken to a reception room of about 20 square meters, when they were seated. Haven't waited for Rodney yet. Jones spoke. Zhong Shi made a silent gesture towards him, and then looked around, and then turned to Rodney. Jones lip-spoke "pen and paper" and didn't make a sound.
Rodney. Jones's face turned pale. After looking at Zhong Shi with a complicated expression for a moment. Then he got up and got a pen and paper from the next room. After placing the pen and paper in front of Zhong Shi. He scanned the room suspiciously, but found nothing out of the ordinary.
"What we're talking about today is going to be highly top-secret, so I can't leave any recorded records. Do you understand? After scribbling a large line of paper on the paper, Zhongshi handed the paper to Rodney. Jones.
"Understood!" Rodney. Jones let out a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was the reason, not what he thought, that someone had bugged in his office or something. As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but put away the little contempt in his heart and began to face the young man in front of him.
As for the news that the real source of funds for the Hong Kong market is not the Hong Kong government, but a newly emerging consortium called Tianyu Fund, Rodney. Jones knew it right away. After a little ventilation with Stanley Company and Goodman Company, he knew that the other party was a company with strong financial strength, and it was said that the founder's surname was Zhong and his net worth was as high as billions of dollars, and no one knew how much it was.
Originally Rodney. Jones also participated in the sniping of Bell Stone by Stanley Company and Goodman Company, but at that time, a group of Quantum Fund executives, including Druckenmiller, only believed that Zhong Shi was a rich/official second generation from Indonesia, and did not associate him with Tianyu Fund. It wasn't until recently that it dawned on them that Zhong Shi, who had fought them before, was the actual helmsman of the Tianyu Fund.
Now that the opponent who can be called the enemy of life and death is coming in person, he naturally has to prepare well. Even though most of the Quantum Fund's funding is on the U.S. side, Rodney. Jones still ordered the traders to stop what they were doing, for fear that the other party would see something. After he was ready, he dared to let Zhong Shi and the others enter the door.
Despite his young age, he is old and cautious, and his personality is not easy to say, but the confidence in his eyes can't be concealed, this is a tricky guy. Rodney. Jones secretly made such a comment to Bell Stone in his heart.
Generally speaking, in the financial market, it is rare to make a public call, whether it is long or short, both sides will try their best to hide their positions and intentions. But now that both sides are openly tearing their faces, and when they both understand each other's intentions, it is absolutely very rare for the other party to come to the door so swaggeringly.
"Is he trying to persuade me or George to give up shorting Hong Kong? If that's the case, it's ridiculous! "Rodney. Jones secretly thought of such a possibility, but the next moment, he flatly denied it.
"You must be wondering why I didn't come uninvited. You and I both know who you and I are and where we stand, don't we? Zhong Shi continued to write on the paper, "I am sure you must be surprised that I have come this time to give Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller, and you, Mr. Jones, a chance to withdraw from the Hong Kong capital market unharmed." ”
"Sure enough!" Rodney. Jones's face twitched suddenly, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart, and after staring at Zhong Shi with burning eyes for a long time, he took the paper and wrote on it: "Is this your statement, or the statement of the Hong Kong government?" Sorry, Hong Kong is a free economy market, and our decisions are based on the consideration of winning profits for our clients, and we will not change our position lightly. ”
"It is precisely because of your professionalism that I propose such a proposal!" After reading these words that were almost rejected, Zhong Shi did not get angry, but instead smiled slightly, and continued to write, "As part of the deal, I can provide you with certain information that is enough to make up for your losses here. ”
"You're kidding, right? To make up for our losses, do you know how much profit we will lose if we withdraw now? "Rodney. Jones was obviously a little angry, and his writing began to be unkind, but he soon began to try to win over Zhong Shi, "But if you give up on continuing to hold the market, I believe that not only will we not be rivals, but we will be able to make a fortune in the Hong Kong market together." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not going to be on the side of the losers." Zhong Shi smiled slightly, gave a negative answer, and after stopping to think about it, he wrote on the paper again, "I welcome Mr. Soros to call me at any time, remember, my mention is to let him reduce his losses, not make a profit and leave the market, which is very important!" ”
"There are still two days to go, and we have enough patience to see who is the final loser!" Rodney. Jones's face changed, and finally he couldn't help but write on the paper, "I originally thought that you came to visit this time with the intention of letting us let you go, but I didn't expect it to be this ending, which is really unexpected." I would venture to ask, do you still have enough money to support the market? To give you a secret, in the next few days, they will launch an unimaginable offensive and use a huge amount of money, which is absolutely unimaginable. ”
"I'm ready!" Faced with the "unimaginable" on the full paper, Zhong Shi's face did not fluctuate in the slightest, and then wrote, "In addition, I can reveal to you a piece of news, you have been monitored here, and your every move is under the control of others, even including email, so it is best not to use the phone, computer, etc. here." Of course, this person is not me. I believe that Mr. Soros will be interested in calling me after hearing this news. ”
"You...... You ......" After seeing what Bell Stone wrote, Rodney. Jones, like a rabbit whose tail has been trampled on, jumped up at once, pointed at Zhong Shi's nose and was about to reprimand him, but the next moment he was like a duck pinched in the throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
Watching his farcical performance, Zhong Shi stretched out a finger at him, waved it lightly, and then made a gesture of making a phone call, and then walked away.
Behind him, Ma Jiarui lit the piece of paper full of information, and in the green smoke, the paper gradually rose into flames, and finally turned into ashes. (To be continued......)
