To Zheng Yang and Zeng Yuanshuang's surprise, Zhong Shi didn't show much reaction to Jeremy's words, just smiled faintly, and didn't refute as Zheng Yang and Zeng Yuanshuang thought.

Zheng Yang may not know, but Zeng Yuanshuang is very clear that the last time he met Zhong Shi, this young man who seemed to be full of temperament planned a very large-scale acquisition because of some quarrels. The acquisition lasted for nearly a year, and the process was full of ups and downs, wonderful, and even involved two super-rich families, just when people thought that the acquisition party had completely failed, suddenly the mainland came out to tighten the policy of real estate funds, and to the surprise of observers, the original failed acquirer became the ultimate winner.

Although Skyline International Holdings Co., Ltd., which was acquired, did not disclose information about its shareholders, Zeng Yuanshuang is certain that the offshore company is a company owned by the Chung consortium, and it is even likely that it was newly established for that acquisition.

Although Zhong Shi didn't say anything, Maxim on the side didn't do anything, and he immediately said coldly: "This gentleman, do you just judge the quality of a fund by looking at these superficial things?" Besides, you don't seem to be a customer, so you don't need to judge here. ”

Truth be told, the interior decoration of the Tianyu Fund is not as bad as Jeremy said, although the decoration is simple, but it is not simple. It's just that Jeremy, as a senior executive of a foreign bank, naturally has an inexplicable sense of superiority over Hong Kong's financial institutions, and almost without thinking, he said what was very offensive just now.

Maxim, who is also an American, naturally knows Jeremy's deep disdain. However, after he invested his own funds in the flagship fund, it doubled in less than a year, and since he himself worked in the Tianyu Fund, he had long regarded himself as a member of the Tianyu Fund, so when he heard Jeremy's harsh words, he immediately retorted.

After hearing Maxim's words with a strong New York accent, Jeremy couldn't help but put away the contempt in his heart, and carefully looked at this obviously accompanying person, only then did he realize that the person in front of him was also a white-skinned, blue-eyed Westerner.

Although Hong Kong is a cosmopolitan city, the majority of Westerners here are Europeans. Especially the British. Americans who work in financial institutions are not at the top. It is the representative of a certain institution, and there are not many people like Maxim who work for others, especially in the fund industry.

Thinking of this, Jeremy couldn't help but look at Zhong Shi a few more times. found that the face of this very young fund manager did not change much. It's still a smiling expression. Jeremy wondered. looked at the two peers together, and found that they were standing behind Zhong Shi in unison, looking at Zhong Shi's gaze with a bit of indescribable taste.

"I'm sorry. Mr. Chung. Jeremy immediately bent down and gave a gentlemanly salute respectfully, "Dear Mr. Chung, please forgive me for my unintentional remarks. In fact, I was just puzzled by the environment, and I didn't mean to be offended. ”

His reaction was quite quick, and he made amends as soon as he realized his mistake, although he didn't know what Zhongshi's attitude was, but there was only so much he could do at the moment.

Zhong Shi glanced at Maxim approvingly, and then gave Jeremy a step down at the right time: "Mr. Jeremy, let's not get entangled in these small places, let's go to the conference room and talk about business." ”

In the center of the conference room, there is a long dark mahogany table, in the middle of which are placed various seasonal fruits and three telephones for meetings, and on the left and right sides are ten ergonomically designed sofa chairs. At one end of the wall is a large projection screen, and at the other end are several coffee machines, which are constantly emitting the rich aroma of coffee.

"Is this ......" Jeremy sniffed vigorously and asked in disbelief, "this is authentic Blue Mountain coffee?" ”

"Of course!" Maxim's face showed a look of disdain, he walked to the coffee machine, made a cup of fragrant coffee with a big grin, tasted it casually, and then held the cup to Jeremy, full of teasing: "How about it, do you want to taste it?" ”

"Alright, Mark, let's serve coffee to the guests yet." Zhong Shi's face sank, preventing Maxim from continuing to show off, and then invited Jeremy, who had a calm face, and Zheng and Zeng, who were holding back laughter, to their seats, and waited for Maxim to go out before he spoke: "Please come this time, I believe you already know what is going on, I don't know what you mean?" ”

"I don't know how much Mr. Zhong wants to raise this time? Can you take the liberty of asking about the use? After the three of them glanced at each other, it was Zeng Yuanshuang who was the first to ask the common question in their hearts.

"This ......" Zhong Shi knocked on the table, looked up and thought for a long time before he spoke, "About five billion dollars." As for the use......" Before he could finish his sentence, he heard a snap, and saw Jeremy fall from the wide sofa chair, lying on the ground without any image, like a patient with seizures, almost with convulsions in his limbs and foaming at the mouth.

Half a day later, Jeremy got up from the ground, and he didn't care about patting the dust on his body at all, so he eagerly asked Zhong Shi, "Mr. Zhong, I heard you right, right?" Are you sure you didn't just say five million dollars, but five billion dollars? ”

In English, the unit of million is million, and the unit of billion is billion, and if you don't listen carefully, it is very likely that you will hear a million as billion.

"Five billion dollars, of course!" Jeremy's two or three gaffes have already made Zhong Shi a little dissatisfied. "Mr. Jeremy, do you have any ear problems and need me to introduce you to a personal doctor?" Zhong Shi frowned and said unhappily.

Zhong Shi did a rough calculation just now, and found that his current net worth was close to five billion dollars. Originally, it was only more than 300 million US dollars, but through this year, I made 1 billion US dollars, and together with the investment funds of hedge funds in the United States, it added up to 5 billion US dollars.

Jeremy immediately sat upright, looked directly at Zhong Shi with his eyes, and said word by word, extremely seriously: "Five billion dollars, this is a very large amount, I don't know what Mr. Zhong uses as a guarantee?" ”

For such a large loan, Zheng Yang and Zeng Yuanshuang also have the same questions. So when Jeremy said the words to secure the mortgage, the two of them looked at each other. He also looked at Zhong Shi with a solemn expression. Waiting for him to give an answer.

"Cash! There are also some bonds with a triple A credit rating! Regarding the questioning of the union of the three, Zhong Shi did not show the slightest timidity. In fact, he would not have planned to raise funds if he had not been able to shock a country's foreign exchange reserves.

The three of them immediately froze. Since Bell Stone does not have a cash flow problem. So weishenme still needs financing? The three of them are all doing business financing on weekdays. I don't know much about financing in the financial industry, because most of the financing similar to funds is through brokers or investment banks. I don't deal directly with commercial banks.

They consider it according to the logic of general enterprises, completely forgetting that Tianyu Capital is actually a private equity fund, a hedge fund, and it is very common for institutions like this to borrow funds, and even due to the different risks of investment varieties, the relatively small risk can borrow more funds.

Seeing that the three of them didn't react, Zhong Shi thought that they were well-informed, so he continued to himself: "This loan is a short-term loan, and it will only take half a year at most. Through careful research and analysis, our fund believes that there is currently a wave of market in the shijie capital market, so we will find a few people to raise funds. As for the specific market and use, I cannot advise. ”

"What about risk control?" After looking at each other for a short time, Zeng Yuanshuang was the first to react, and as soon as Zhong Shi's words fell, she immediately asked. At this time, in her mind, she had seriously considered the feasibility of borrowing.

"This ......" Zhong Shi thought for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, "I can't guarantee in terms of risk control, but I will do relevant risk hedging, and I will definitely not let your funds lose." Moreover, as a fund manager, I am also responsible for the funds of my clients, so you will not doubt my professional ethics, right? ”

"This ...... I need to talk to the others! Zeng Yuanshuang didn't say no, but after saying this lightly, she got up and went outside to make a call.

Zhong Shi looked at Zheng Yang, Zheng Yang's face was a little unnatural, and after a while, he said curtly: "If we can't announce the direction and goal of investment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to come up with such a high amount of funds." Otherwise, does Mr. Zhong have anything else to pledge? ”

With such a large amount of capital borrowing, there is no guarantee of credit in terms of creditworthiness, and Tianyu Fund has no credit history in major commercial banks, so it is not an exaggeration for Zheng Yang to say so.

"We can lend you money!" At this moment, Jeremy, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "As for cash and bonds, we need a professional audit agency to make a judgment." Other than that, there are no other strings attached! ”

"In the end, banks from the U.S. market are reacting differently to this kind of financing than European banks." Bell Stone secretly peeked at Jeremy's face and found that he had been in a state of extreme excitement since he heard that there was cash and triple-A bonds to guarantee it, and he was not at all as timid as the other two.

“OK！” Zhong Shi stood up, didn't look at Zheng Yang with an embarrassed face, and shook Jeremy's hand, "Time is pressing, I hope your auditors will conduct the audit as soon as possible, I hope these things can be done within a week." Then he turned his head and said to Zheng Yang, who was at a loss, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zheng, the cash in our HSBC account may have to be transferred to the Chase bank account." ”

Zheng Yang's face was stunned, he never expected Zhong Shi's revenge to come so soon. (To be continued......)
