Zhong Shi's personality is relatively peaceful and docile, but a person of his status is undoubtedly quite characterful, which is human nature. It's just that this kind of character and habit can only be shown in front of opponents of equal status, because when facing people who are not of the same rank, this kind of pride has no effect at all, and will only damage one's image in vain.

Now this performance of Deutsche Bank has undoubtedly aroused Zhongshi's anger. You must know that everywhere he goes, although he can't reach the point of holding the moon with stars, people in the industry treat him as a VIP. But now at the headquarters of Deutsche Bank, not only is it not treated like this, but it is not even as good as the average visitor.

It's time to eat the closed door!

"When their people show up, don't mention that we were instructed by the government!"

Taking a long breath and trying to calm down, Zhong Shi said to Ivana, "Let's see what kind of reception we will receive without a government background." ”

Ivana silently glanced at Zhong Shi and did not speak. She is also angry in her heart, and naturally she does not intend to help Deutsche Bank's side.

"I just communicated with them, and someone will come out soon!"

Jiang Shan, who had finished the phone call, wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and said carefully, "It's the director of public relations, Lucas. Mr. Adenauer. ”

"Why not Chairman Joseph. Ackerman? ”

Zhong Shi frowned slightly, but the next moment he relaxed, "Maybe there is already some arrangement." If that's the case, let's see each other. ”

Before coming, Jiang Shan did inform the chairman's office of Deutsche Bank through connections, but I don't know why there was a scene where no one cared. In desperation, he could only urgently contact the Frankfurt headquarters through the connection between the German and Chinese regions in Hong Kong, and only then did he barely find a person who could receive him.

Lucas. Adenauer looks like he is in his fifties, he looks amiable, and he has an inexplicable affinity and affection at a glance. Perhaps because of his long-term public relations activities, he has a lot of experience in dealing with people. As soon as he entered Zhong Shi and the others' field of vision, he ran over in small steps, stretched out his hands to Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, and apologized incessantly, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhong, I didn't receive the news that you were coming to visit before, I was sluggish, I was sluggish." ”

His attitude extinguished a lot of Zhong Shi's dissatisfaction to a certain extent.

"It was our negligence that we didn't inform you before!"

The sedan chair carried people, Zhong Shi naturally would not lose the face of the other party at this time, and immediately expressed his poor arrangement, and then said, "This time I came, I have something important to discuss with Deutsche Bank, I don't know if the timing is appropriate?" ”

"I don't know which way?"

Lucas. Adenauer was stunned for a moment, and then explained, "I'm in charge of public relations, and if Mr. Zhong wants to talk about business, I can introduce you to the relevant person in charge." But since you are here, let's visit our Deutsche Bank first, there is no rush in business matters, there will always be time. ”

"That's just as well!"

Zhong Shi snorted, and then walked into the headquarters of Deutsche Bank under the guidance of the other party.

Jiang Shan and Ivana also followed, but at the moment of crossing the level, Ivana glanced hatefully at the place where the security guard was, obviously still haunted by what had just been blocked.

Like most banks in the world, the decoration of Deutsche Bank's headquarters is extremely luxurious, but in this luxury, there are few purely decorative objects, practicality and luxury are well combined, and the details reflect the rigorous and pragmatic character of the Germans.

"Mr. Zhong, now can you tell me, what kind of business are you talking about?"

After watching it for a while, Lucas. Adenauer led Zhong Shi to a VIP conference room, and after the two sides were seated, he asked, "If you have the time, I can arrange for you to have a meeting right now." ”

So far, he has been very enthusiastic, and there is no hint of snubbing Zhong Shi at all. Zhong Shi's grievances from the cold reception before were about to disappear completely.

"Here's the thing!"

Zhong Shi pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Our fund recently discovered an interesting phenomenon in London, where some traders conspired to try to manipulate the LIBOR interest rate, and fortunately we discovered it. Although we are not sure whether Deutsche Bank is involved or not, we are here to remind you that if there is a relevant situation, please prepare early. ”

"This ...... What does that mean? ”

Not a man in business after all, Lucas. Adenauer didn't understand what Zhong Shi said, but he did hear the word "manipulation", and his face immediately turned a little pale, "What the hell is going on?" Mr. Chung, I wonder what would happen if this matter came to light. ”

From his professional point of view, if the matter comes to light, it could have an impact on Deutsche Bank's reputation. So his first instinct was how to minimize the negative impact of this incident.

"Nonsense!"

Just as Zhong Shi was about to explain to him in detail, the door of the conference room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then a figure walked in, and the first sentence was unceremoniously slammed Zhong Shi and said, "Don't be alarmist here!" ”

Zhong Shi's eyes immediately narrowed.

"Chairman!"

When he saw the comer, Lucas. Adenauer hurriedly stood up and said respectfully, then as if he remembered something, he pointed to Zhong Shi and introduced, "This is Zhong Shi, from Hong Kong, who runs a hedge fund called Tianyu Fund. ”

The person who came was Joseph. Ackermann is currently Chairman of the Board of Directors of Deutsche Bank.

The 68-year-old man was not at all an old man in his seventies, except for his half-white hair. He was a burly man, and he couldn't see the change in shape under his well-dressed suit, and he was obviously very well maintained. His smooth face has few wrinkles, his skin is tight, his eyes are sharp, and his face looks more like that of a middle-aged man in his forties.

"I know who he is!"

Joseph. Ackerman waved his hand indifferently and said to Lucas. Adenauer said, "There's nothing to do with you here, you can get out first!" ”

As much as it was curious to know the follow-up, Lucas. Adenauer didn't dare to disobey the other party's orders, and after throwing an apologetic look at Zhong Shi, he left in a huff.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

After staring at Zhong Shi and the others with sharp eyes, Joseph. Ackerman sat down in the middle with a big grin, and after playing with his fingers, he said coldly, "As the saying goes, nothing is left to the Three Treasures Palace. Since Mr. Chung became famous, it was the first time that he was a guest of Deutsche Bank. Although we have been dealing with business for a long time, we were particularly surprised to visit us in person. ”

He bites the word "surprise" very hard, which obviously means something.

"What, Mr. Ackerman thinks I have other purposes?"

Ivana beside her was about to have a seizure, Zhong Shi subconsciously patted her hand, signaling a little calm, and then said lightly, "Why do you have this thought?" Also, I wonder what Mr. Ackerman thinks about what I just said. ”

"Is LIBOR manipulative?"

He sneered, Joseph. Ackermann replied, "This is complete nonsense, and I don't think we German traders would do such a thing." Also, even if we do it, I'm afraid it won't be your turn to intervene in this matter, right? ”

"Kindly come to remind us, who would believe such a thing?"

The corners of his mouth went up, and he looked completely disdainful, "Assuming that the whole thing is true and really falls into your hands, I think according to your style, you will definitely not take the initiative to give us a reminder." So I think you must have another purpose for coming this time. Is that so, Mr. Chung? ”

I don't know why, Joseph. Ackerman is filled with an inexplicable hostility towards Bell Stone.

"So you deliberately ignored our pleas, and even planned to give us a closed door to eat?"

Zhong Shi didn't laugh angrily, his voice was unusually calm, "I kind of understand, why everything happened before, it turned out that you had arranged it a long time ago." I thought it was my subordinates who were negligent, but now it seems that I am the wrong person! ”

"Deutsche Bank does not welcome people with ulterior motives!"

Joseph. Ackerman didn't mean to deny it at all, and admitted bluntly, "If it's a business partner, we're more than welcome." But if someone wants to get some benefit from Deutsche Bank through some fabricated information, then he is really miscalculated, and we are not a role to be manipulated. ”

"Looks like Mr. Ackerman doesn't quite believe what I'm saying!"

At this time, Zhongshi was already furious, almost to the edge of being uncontrollable. However, he knew very well that tearing his face with others at this time would not help at all, but would put himself in a very embarrassing situation. There is another saying that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge. Now this humiliation, he can only endure it first, "and also doubt my intentions." Honestly, aren't you afraid of offending me if you do this? ”

Ivana and Jiang Shan were already overwhelmed by this conversation, and they had no idea why the conversation suddenly became the way it is. Ivana was better, and Jiangshan was like Zhongshi, and looked at Joseph. Ackerman's eyes almost burst into flames.

"Hey, hey, hey, you're just a fund with hundreds of billions of dollars!"

Hearing Zhong Shi's words, Joseph. Ackerman smiled disdainfully and said, "I'd like to see how you plan to get revenge on me for my attitude today?" Is it going to be a short of Deutsche Bank, or is it going to buy our stakes, get on the board of directors and remove me as chairman? ”

"I'm looking forward to your actions!"

It didn't seem to be enough to stimulate Zhong Shi, and he continued to add, "Originally, I didn't plan to let you in, but I already made you retreat. Who knew that you didn't change your mind, and you actually came in again, so I had no choice but to deal with this matter myself. Now I tell you unequivocally that you are not very welcome not only to me, but also to the top of Germany. ”

"Damn, do you know what you're talking about?"

At this time, Ivana finally couldn't help it, and said, "We kindly reminded you that we actually got such an attitude?" Very well, very well, I saw today how Deutsche Bank is doing. Now I have only one question, that is, where did we offend you in exchange for such treatment? ”

This question is not only Ivana, Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan also have this question in their hearts.

"Me and Jamie. Dimon is a friend, a very good friend! ”

Joseph. Ackerman pouted, shrugged his shoulders, and replied, "But I warn you, this is not JP Morgan, and we will not succumb to hedge funds, nor will we succumb to any spoof." So if you want to play those shady tricks, get out of the way as soon as possible! ”

"Let's go!"

After taking a deep look at the other party, Zhong Shi stood up and walked outside without looking back. (To be continued.) )
