Chapter 36: Peregrine's Big Guy

This shijie is so strange, a rich man like Li Jiacheng has many people who openly beat his idea, but there are few people who really dare to implement it, at most it is a bold person like Zhang Ziqiang, a gangster of the century, who dares to make an idea on his son.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Li Jiacheng's deep seclusion, but more importantly, this wealthy businessman knows how to handle relations with politicians very well, and just a few meetings with state leaders are enough to discourage most people with ill intentions, not to mention that he also holds a lot of titles similar to those of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.

But there are exceptions to everything, there was a wealthy real estate businessman surnamed Wang in Hong Kong who was kidnapped in 83 years and was released after paying 10 million US dollars, but seven years later the rich businessman was kidnapped again, this time he did not have the good luck of the last time, and after paying a ransom of 60 million US dollars, he was finally thrown into the sea by the kidnappers, and finally "died without a place to be buried".

Zhong Shi is not afraid of these children of the family, they can't afford to make any waves. However, like the Zhao family, which has developed in Hong Kong for decades and has deep roots, if you want to make some trouble for their family, Zhong Shi may really have to be careful.

"What, regret it?" Xu Mai looked at Zhong Shi, who bowed his head and pondered, and teased playfully.

To be honest, he couldn't understand the young man in front of him, and he couldn't figure out what was going on with this young man. However, he secretly made up his mind that after this meeting, he must investigate the details of this young man and his family.

After all, such a character who can make him unable to understand is a problem in itself.

Mr. Xu laughed. The acquisition was not my idea, but the Liao family's future plan, but it was just said through my mouth. As for how to do it later, naturally the Liao family and their team will operate it, and I am just a soy sauce player! Zhong Shicai will not be fooled, if he admits to considering the issue of security at this time, wouldn't he be able to confirm that he is the party seeking to acquire, and also prove that he has strong financial resources in disguise.

"Soy sauce?" Xu Mai was stunned, and there was a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Zhong Shi was also stunned, this sentence "playing soy sauce" was said casually by him. In later generations, it was extended to mean passers-by. But this allusion did not appear at this time, and it is no wonder that Xu Mai was confused.

Zhong Shi, who knew that he was missing, hurriedly changed the topic: "Mr. Xu is not in there to accompany those big guys, how can he be interested in coming out to chat with me, a kid?" ”

"It's nothing, come out and breathe. Old bones like me. After standing for a long time, I have back pain. Need to move around a bit from time to time. Besides, the people in it are all rich people, if I don't have such an official identity, I'm afraid I won't even be able to say a word. Xu Mai said with some self-deprecation.

Zhong Shi did not answer. I don't know how to pick it up. He faintly heard that the Mr. Xu in front of him seemed to be a little dissatisfied with his current economic situation, which made him vigilant.

It is important to know that in recent years, certain officials in the mainland have become somewhat advanced in their thinking, and they have carried out illegal money laundering activities through certain consortia in Hong Kong, which is far safer and can obtain greater profits than money laundering through other channels.

What Zhong Shi didn't know was that the official surnamed Xu in front of him absconded to a foreign country soon after half a year, explaining to the outside that he had suffered political persecution, but in fact, he had made a lot of money through illegal means, and chose to flee after hearing the news of being investigated by Yanjing.

The two sides did not speak for a while, and after a moment of silence, Zhong Shi and Xu Mai said hello and turned back to the hall.

At this time, in the brightly lit hall, a middle-aged man about forty years old was talking endlessly, and dozens of prominent business elites gathered around him, all listening attentively.

"Hey, what is he talking about?" Zhong Shi walked up to Liao Xiaohua, who was in a daze, bumped him on the shoulder, and asked in a low voice.

"I don't know!" Liao Xiaohua turned his head and found that the person who asked him was Zhong Shi, and couldn't help but answer in a little panic.

"I know what he's talking about, but this has something to do with you!" Just when the two of them were staring at each other, Liao Chengde appeared happily, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the two of them were taken aback.

Liao Chengde has met a lot of business celebrities in the communication just now, which is very helpful to his current transportation business. Under the hint of Xu Mai and others, many people also understood that this was a company that helped the government do things, which surprised them and paid a lot more attention to Liao Chengde, an emerging businessman.

"Something to do with me?" Zhong Shi was a little surprised at this moment. He thought about it, he hasn't made any big moves in Hong Kong recently, right? Why do you have a relationship with yourself?

Liao Chengde smiled and said a little proudly: "The person who is talking now is the president of Peregrine, and he is telling the people in the business community about the European currency crisis, do you say it's none of your business?" ”

"I see!" Zhong Shi suddenly realized that this really had a lot to do with him, but these actions of attacking the European Central Bank, except for Liao Chengde, only Andrew knew, and even those boastful professionals did not know the inside story.

They may know the methods and outcomes of the attack, they may know about certain sellers in the market through the European media, such as the well-known Soros and his quantum fund, or they may speculate a little bit about the anomalies in the financial statements disclosed by the banking system, but the more speculators in the market can never be known to outsiders.

Bell Stone is an example of this.

"The problem with the exchange rate system in Europe lies with Germany, because the strength of the German economy has suddenly increased considerably in light of the merger of the two Germanys, and the high interest rate policy imposed to cope with inflation has forced other countries to follow suit. This is a vivid example of this, according to our Peregrine research, the financial crisis is far from stopping, and in November, international capital also launched an attack on France, but it was held. Personally, I believe that the attack on the franc is far from over, and it is very likely that international capital will attack the franc again in the coming period. Nian Botao said categorically.

Peregrine? Zhong Shi thought for a long time. I didn't remember the slightest impression of this company. What he didn't know was that this company was famous before its bankruptcy in 98, and it was the largest investment bank in Asia outside of Japan, with a turnover of 175.5 billion Hong Kong dollars in 96, even more than Merrill Lynch, the largest giant on Wall Street at that time.

In addition to its traditional IPO business, the investment bank has partnered with the Asian Development Bank, the World Bank's International Finance Corporation, Soros's Quantum Fund and many other financial institutions this year to set up AIFMC, a fund management company whose main investment target is infrastructure construction in Asia.

This year, Peregrine's investment banking division began to expand its business in the mainland market, arranging for three Chinese companies to be listed on the Stock Exchange during the year, which made their reputation in the mainland expand rapidly. From now on. Most mainland companies that want to list on the Stock Exchange use Peregrine to underwrite their securities, which allows Peregrine to earn large commissions on the underwriting business.

You know, before Huaxia International Capital Corporation was established. Mainland companies that want to list in Hong Kong do so through Hong Kong investment banks. Peregrine, who has a local background in Hong Kong and a wide network of resources and contacts, has become their first choice.

It's a pity. Peregrine was mired in the first wave of the Asian financial crisis, and finally could not escape the fate of bankruptcy and liquidation, which is why Zhongshi had not heard of it.

The Mr. Nian Botao in front of him is the managing director who is at the helm of Peregrine's investment banking department. At the same time, he is also one of the co-founders, and he is basically a man of the year in the capital market. For such a figure, celebrities in Hong Kong's business circles will naturally not easily let go of the opportunity to listen to his professional opinions.

"The analysis is the first thing, but he is a powerful character!" Zhong Shi listened carefully to a few words, and secretly made a judgment in his heart. He didn't mean to solicit anything, and a powerful person like this would never be willing to be subordinate.

In addition, with his current business, he basically has nothing to do with investment banks, which is a great waste of talent. You should know that the two most important businesses of investment banks are securities underwriting, which is to help companies list on the exchange to earn corresponding commissions; The other is the sales and trading department, which is the proprietary business of the investment bank, which makes a profit by buying and selling bonds with its own funds.

However, many investment banks in later generations have set up fixed income departments, and the main business of this department is also to buy and sell bonds in the market, while part of the business of the sales and trading department is to deal with funds and cooperate with the investment banking department to sell securities.

These have nothing to do with Zhong Shi's current trading, his business is much more advanced than these, purely in the secondary market and derivatives market related transactions. As for the research reports of some investment banks, he is also a little dismissive, after all, he is a person who knows the general trend of development in the future.

"Zhong Shi, you have to be careful, the Zhao family is very likely to find Peregrine as their financial advisor and act as an umbrella for their acquisition!" Liao Chengde carefully observed Zhong Shi's face and reminded carefully.

"What's the use?" Zhong Shi sneered disdainfully, "In the face of absolute financial resources, no matter how many conspiracies and tricks are floating clouds, I don't believe it, I will buy fifty percent of their shares at double the price, see who will not agree?" ”

Liao Chengde and Liao Xiaohua glanced at each other, and the father and son were a little speechless, if the price was doubled, it would be a premium of 100%, and basically no one would be able to refuse this kind of price. However, the strategy of the acquisition is ultimately formulated and executed by a financial advisor, and the acquiring party only needs to provide sufficient financial support in the process.
