Chapter 33: A Succession of Visits

The clay figure also has three points of fire, Rao is Zhao Jiajie's cultivation is good, but under Zhong Shi's aggressiveness, he can't help but burst out a trace of anger: "Zhong Sheng, even if you are a VIP of HSBC, your hand is too long." Let's not say that we haven't done anything to your friend, and even if we do, it's not your turn, right? ”

His words were not wrong, but he met Zhong Shi, a reborn time-traveler, who had no regard for these so-called high society, let alone the second-generation children who had not yet taken power.

You must know that the reason why Hong Kong's tycoons have been able to make their fortunes, in addition to some of the hard work they themselves touted, is more through smuggling and monopolies, especially in certain public industries. When the world-renowned Carrefour entered Hong Kong, some wealthy people in Hong Kong who controlled the electricity, water and other industries did not hesitate to threaten to cut off water and electricity, and finally forced Carrefour out of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong, which has a global reputation as a "free port", is essentially a deformed economy monopolized by large real estate developers, and the British government is the promoter of this economy, because only in this way can they seek maximum profits in the limited period of rule.

What the British government in Hong Kong did not expect was that in just a dozen years, the economic monsters they had cultivated would erode into the British mainland, and instead took some of their public utilities into their arms.

Zhong Shi knows these things well, he knows very well the rules of this shijie operation, in a place where the legal system is perfect and things are done according to the rules, economic development is the biggest focus of society; And in some regions or countries where the rule of man is greater than the rule of law, politics is the main theme of society.

Like this place in Hong Kong. Some of the actions of real estate companies are sometimes even more influential than the words of the Governor of Hong Kong, because the Governor of Hong Kong has the most influence on the public service of the British government, while real estate companies affect people from all walks of life.

On this occasion today, except for a white British man who was in charge of communication, there was no more blue-eyed and white-skinned face, and the Englishman was also very knowledgeable, and after a little greeting with Xu Mai, he silently disappeared in front of everyone, and he knew it. On this occasion, I just made a photo on behalf of the official. And then there was nothing to do with him.

At this time, the companies that want to immigrate and move their registered places are almost gone, and most of the rest are not ready to leave, but those companies that have moved their registered places have also come a lot today. Because their main business is still in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.

In addition to several well-known families such as the Li family, the Guo family, and the Huo family. Zhong Shi had never heard of the Zhao family in later generations. I'm afraid that the Zhao Jiajie family in front of me is at most a middle-to-upper consortium, and it is estimated that the total net worth of all of them is billions, which is not even a fraction of Zhong Shi's current net worth.

Throw one’s weight around? Zhong Shi didn't think about it. But for some people who don't open their eyes, or people who want to bully others, Zhong Shi doesn't mind teaching them a lesson.

"If the road is uneven, someone will step on it, and if it is uneven, someone will take care of it, don't you understand such a simple truth?" Zhong Shi snorted coldly and said coldly.

This is the difference between the mainlanders and Hong Kong people, in Hong Kong, a small place, most people are running around and working hard for their livelihoods, except for government agencies and public welfare organizations, almost no one will think of doing things that are uneven, and the mainland is different, at this time the social atmosphere has not fallen to the point where people turn a blind eye to injustice, and the blood of society is still there.

"Since things can't be good, then you draw a way, and I'll follow!" Zhao Jiajie also refused to show weakness at all, since the faces of both sides have been torn, then he will no longer pretend to maintain his gentlemanly demeanor.

"Well, I'm welcome. Let your family have cash ready and wait to deal with the attacks on the stock market. If you can't handle it, I'll consider buying your family's property and kicking you out of the board of directors completely!" Since the other party took the words, Zhong Shi was no longer polite, and his face showed a murderous aura.

Zhao Jiajie's face suddenly showed a look of contempt: "It's up to you?" Do you want to buy our family's property with 2 billion Hong Kong dollars? Foolish people say that you are dreaming, just let the horse come! ”

"Really? What if you add our standard bank? Just when the two of them were facing each other, a fragrant wind hit, and then a tall lady walked over in a curling manner.

As they spoke, they found a lady of thirty years old, dressed in a black evening gown with a light make-up on her face, and a sparkling diamond necklace around her neck, which shimmered in the bright hall lights.

When this thought flashed in the minds of the two of them, the lady stretched out her white and tender little hand to Zhong Shi in time: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zeng Yuanshuang, and I am the financial manager of Standard Bank Asia Pacific." "He speaks directly and crisply, showing a lean and neat side.

"Standard Bank? How will they know about me? The thought swirled in Zhong Shi's mind, but it didn't show it on his face. Zhong Shi also politely reached out and shook her gently.

Like HSBC, Standard Bank is also a standard British bank, but its business first developed from Africa, and then extended to Asia, the Americas and other places, but there is very little business in Europe. Listed in both Hong Kong and London, Standard Bank straddles two different financial markets and is one of the three statutory note-issuing banks in Hong Kong.

After a moment's thought, Zhong Shi understood what was going on, HSBC was in big trouble in the European options market, and it must be reported to the British regulators, as well as his shareholders. Although this money will be paid by the Swedish government, HSBC will not lose much, but it will still have a certain impact on the stock price in the short term.

Standard Bank, a rival, got the news as soon as it could, and unlike ordinary shareholders, Standard Bank quickly inquired about the transaction in detail through different channels, especially from former HSBC Private Bank employees, and Zhong Shi began to enter the eyes of Standard Bank's top management.

You know, $600 million in cash is an irresistible temptation for any bank on Shijie, and banks can do a lot of things with this money, just the spread between deposits and loans, even if it is a percentage point, there will be an annual income of $60 million.

Standard Bank was soon surprised to find that Zhong Seok's cousin Zhong Yi had used his own brokerage channel to make relevant transactions in the yen futures and options market in '85, and the amount of the transaction was even higher than the HSBC incident. After a rough estimate, they determined that the Chung family's fortune was around a billion dollars. After conducting relevant investigations, Standard Bank found that apart from the possibility of investing relevant funds in the Liao Group, there was no other evidence that they had invested this huge amount of money in other real economies, and it was very likely that the funds were deposited in a certain bank.

Now, fighting for this deposit has become an important task for several commercial banks that have a little knowledge of the Zhong family's family background.

Zeng Yuanshuang is also very clear about Zhao Jiajie on the other side, his family has business dealings with Standard Bank, but Zhao Jiajie's identity is not enough to talk to her on an equal footing, in fact, for these rich second generations with beautiful appearances, they are still small characters in the eyes of bankers, and it is not the turn of executives to intervene in such things as tens or millions of credit card overdrafts.

Zeng Yuanshuang had been listening to it for a long time when she stood on the sidelines, and when Zhong Shi released cruel words, she realized that the opportunity had come, and walked forward to say hello regardless of whether it was abrupt or not, wanting to leave a good impression in front of Zhong Shi.

As for Zhong Shi's words about acquiring Zhao's company, she didn't take it very seriously, knowing that it is not as easy as she imagined to acquire a company, especially when the outstanding shares account for not much of the total share capital.

The Zhao family's industry is mainly concentrated in the real estate industry, and their family owns three listed companies with a total market value of nearly 10 billion, in which the Zhao family owns more than 30% of the shares, with a total asset of about 3 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In addition to these, the market value of the largest company of these three companies is close to 5 billion, and the Zhao family holds 30% of the shares, and more importantly, the third largest shareholder of this real estate company is an ally of the Zhao family, a veteran of the same business, and this person controls more than 50% of the shares together with Zhao Jiajie's father.

Zeng Yuanshuang also thought that Zhong Shi might take two other inconsequential listed companies, and she also wanted to know how much money the Zhong family had and how much Zhong Shi could use in front of her.

She did not hear the promise that Zhong Shi had made in front of HSBC's quasi-senior class, and if she heard about the liquidity of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars, she would definitely not hesitate to support Zhong Shi's acquisition of all the properties of Zhao's three listed companies.

"Since it's an acquisition, why don't you consider us Huayin Hong Kong, isn't it, Mr. Zhong?" Just when a few people's minds were in a hurry, another well-dressed middle-aged man came over.

"Contemptible Zhang Feilu, the person in charge of the Hong Kong branch of Huayin." The middle-aged man said to Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, almost flatteringly.

Like Standard Bank, Bank of China Hong Kong is also very interested in HSBC's huge losses, and after touching the melons, it also locked up the Chung family who had only been in Hong Kong for a long time, but unlike these British banks, Bank of China Hong Kong is a branch of Hua Xia Bank in Hong Kong, representing the economic shili of China.
