Chapter 103: Catch the Wind and Wash the Dust

The so-called drinking and eating, there is another elegant name: catching the wind and washing the dust. Because Zhong Shi, as the major shareholder, came to the Korea Development Bank for the first time, and it coincided with the change of KDB (Korea Development Bank), when entertaining Zhong Shi, Min Yusheng's heart went up and down, trying in every possible way to get a little sign from the other party's mouth.

It's just that Zhong Shi's tone is very strict, and after a long time of testing, Min Yusheng still hasn't gotten any useful information, so in desperation, he can only think of a slightly low-level method such as pouring wine.

Who wouldn't want them to just step out of the KDB gate and see a large crowd of people around the guards, shouting to break in.

It's worth it! At that moment, Min Yusheng's face sank, and he walked over with a displeased face, drooping his eyelids, not looking at the other party, and arrogantly reprimanded the guard: "What do you rabbit cubs do?" Don't you see me greeting VIPs? Don't put all the messy presidents in there, let them wait honestly. ”

Since KDB lends to companies, most of the customers are the presidents of companies. It's just that Min Yusheng didn't expect that the other party was Kim Jong-dae, the chairman of the second largest financial group in the Republic of Korea, he just narrowed his eyes, glanced at the other party with disdain, and when he turned his face to face Zhongshi, it seemed to turn into a sincere and bright smile again.

Who doesn't want to wait for him to walk to Zhong Shi's side, a figure jumped out of the oblique and killed Zhong Shi directly, holding his right hand with both hands in Zhong Shi's stunned expression, and at the same time bent down, and said in a loud voice: "This is Mr. Zhong, the contemptible person is Kim Zhengda of Hana Finance, and I sincerely welcome you to Seoul." ”

Originally, Min Yusheng, who was furious when he witnessed this qiē, was about to have a seizure, but after hearing the words of Asiana Finance. The anger suddenly vanished. He was originally in power not long ago, his foundation was unstable, and he was anxious to deal with the top domestic chaebols, among which giants such as Hyundai Group and Hana Finance were the targets he wanted to woo. Now that the other party is in front of him, he naturally will not miss such an opportunity.

It's just that when did Jong-seok get involved with the people at Asiana Finance? Min Yusheng was a little confused, but when he saw Kim Jong-dae's groveling look. Soon thought of a possibility, and his face changed again.

"It turned out to be President Kim!"

Like a chameleon, the smile on Min Yusheng's face became even bigger, and he walked directly in front of Kim Zhengdae and greeted him very warmly: "It turned out to be President Kim, and he really couldn't invite the VIP who couldn't be invited." Why, do you also know our guest Mr. Zhong? ”

For Min Yusheng's appearance of the former and backward Gong, Jin Zheng was naturally half angry, but it was not good to show Xiàn in front of Zhong Shi. At that moment, he could only say lightly: "Mr. Zhong is the major shareholder of our Hana Finance, of course I know him. If you entertain Mr. Zhong, you won't bother you, President Min. ”

After finishing speaking, he nodded and said to Zhong Shi: "Mr. Zhong came here this time to inspect the work of Asiana Finance?" Needless to say, Mr. Chung rarely came to Seoul once, and as the host, I naturally had to entertain him well. ”

"Nonsense!" Without waiting for Zhong Shi to answer, Min Yusheng hurriedly said. "Mr. Zhong is our honored guest, and you don't look at it. Where is Mr. Chung at the door now? Your VIP? Forget it! ”

"Alright, you two, let's stop the war of words for the time being!" Seeing that the two were in dispute, Zhong Shi had to stand up and speak, "Actually, I asked the Tianyu Fund to inform the two of you, which means that I should have a banquet for both parties." Now everyone is satisfied. ”

"......" Zhong Shi's statement suddenly made Min Yusheng and Kim Zhengda look at each other, and after looking at each other, they closed their mouths in unison.

"Alright, let's have a drink!"

Pouring a full glass of real dew wine, Zhong Shi raised his glass to the two of them. Then he threw his head up, slurred, and drank it all.

This is a private clubhouse in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, located in the heart of the city, but the owner has transformed it into an elegant place. Sliding glass walls divide the dining room from private spaces, with rectangular tables taking up most of the room, guests dining under the light of lanterns, and at the end of the room, a stage where several young girls dressed in traditional Korean costumes are playing and singing.

The table is filled with Korean specialties: bibimbap, gimbap, kelp soup, grilled saury, chicken soup with ginseng, miso soup, sea urchin sashimi, grilled pork belly...... Compared with Jin Min and the others, who were feasting on each dish, Zhong Shi just tasted each dish and put down his chopsticks.

"Is it true that I heard that the South Korean government intends to restructure the financial sector and seek to further open up the market?" Zhong Shi, who put down his glass, asked with interest, "Both of you are top talents in the financial sector of the Republic of Korea, I wonder if you have heard of this news, or do you know about the relevant policies?" ”

Hearing Zhong Shi's words, Min Yusheng and Kim Zhengdae's chewing mouths suddenly stopped, and after looking at each other suspiciously, Min Yusheng replied: "There is indeed such a statement, but this policy is still in the stage of consideration within the government. Mr. Zhong, you also know that the current international financial market is relatively chaotic, and it is not suitable to sell. ”

Although the other party's statement was full of perfunctory, Zhong Shi nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "If that's the case, then it's the best." As a shareholder, I would like to remind you that if you want to make an acquisition or merger at this time, you must control the risks. ”

As soon as these words came out, Min Yusheng and Kim Zhengda were even more shocked. Originally, Zhong Shi appeared at this time, and the intention made them speculate for a long time, and now Zhong Shi said such profound words, naturally he must have something to say.

"What do you mean?" Min Yusheng cautiously probed, "Or, Mr. Zhong, what are you shorting, so that we don't have a conflict of interest with you?" Or does it mean something else? ”

Unlike Kim, who focuses on the local market, Min Yusheng, who used to work for the Kaminari brothers, has more say in the international financial market, and he knows better what kind of prestige and power this Mr. Zhong has. So after Zhong Shi said something like that, after he thought about it for a while, he knew that Zhong Shi was most likely hinting at himself not to hinder his short plan.

The news of Bell Stone's short Bear Stearns has spread throughout the industry, so in this case, Min Yusheng can't help but think nonsense. But by chance, he guessed correctly.

"Not bad!"

Without the slightest hesitation. Zhong Shi simply admitted, "Now there is such a goal, and it has been carried out step by step." As for the name of the goal, and the final plan, I naturally can't tell you. What I can tell you at this stage is not to try to merge or acquire foreign assets lightly. The risks are very high, far greater than you think. Of course, if you don't want to listen, there's nothing I can do. ”

After speaking, Zhong Shi picked up his wine glass and began to taste it again.

"There's nothing you can do!" This is the idea that comes to the minds of Min and Jin, as the majority shareholders of both companies, Zhong Shi has enough voting power to influence the decision-making of the board of directors. They naturally knew that this was the other party's polite statement, if they really insisted on going their own way. I believe that the amiable young man in front of him will soon turn his face.

"So, Mr. Zhong, what do you think about the current trend of the international financial market? What will happen in the future? After observing the words for a long time, Kim Zhengda dared to ask, "You are an authority in this area, it would be good to say something to open our eyes." You know that although the Republic of Korea has excellent financial scholars and economists, it is still slightly inferior to yours. ”

"It's not just a little bit inferior. I'm afraid I don't even have the qualifications to lift shoes for the other party! Min Yusheng secretly slandered, but on the surface he was silent. He was a man of great ambitions. But the more such people are, the more they know that there is a truth outside the sky. In his view, Jong-seok's role has reached the pinnacle of the international financial community, and even the United States can match it, let alone those economists in South Korea.

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say!"

Zhong Shi put it down. He slapped his mouth twice and replied in a pretended manner, "It's really hard." Personally, I am extremely pessimistic about the economic situation in the coming years. It seems to me that the subprime crisis in the United States is far from being resolved, and the problem has not yet fully exploded. Only wait until after it has been thoroughly exposed. The whole world knows what is going on. ”

"Actually, what I'm doing now is to speed up the process of exposure. You should know that if a company or an industry's problems are covered up more deeply, it means that the more serious their problems are, the more detrimental it will be to their investors. This is a form of fraud and is a typical violation of the law. Only by exposing these problems to the world can investors be told of right and wrong. Although my approach has been criticized a lot, I personally believe that I am the knight who saved the market. ”

"What you said would happen in the future, I really can't predict it for you. But personally, there will be a lot of changes in the market, not only in the United States, but also in Europe, but also in Asia. There is a high probability of an economic crisis on a global scale, unprecedented and will have a comprehensive and profound impact on all corners of the world economy. So at this time, you have to be cautious! ”

Finally, Zhong Shi added earnestly.

Min Yusheng and Kim Zhengdae's faces suddenly became gloomy.

……

"Is he talking about the Kaminari Brothers?"

After sending off the drunken Zhongshi, Min Yusheng and Kim Jung-dae invariably returned to the room just now, this time with only two cups of tea. The two sat facing each other, both with sad faces.

"It doesn't make sense, it definitely doesn't make sense, the news of our contact with the Kaminari brothers just started yesterday, could he not get the news immediately?" Min Yusheng's eyes flickered, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally rejected the idea.

"But according to his previous practice, and the current market environment, only a company like Kaminari Brothers can meet the conditions he said." Kim Zhengda still did not give up, "The Kaminari brothers are now riddled with negative news, which was originally a great opportunity for acquisition, but after Zhongshi said this, I now have no bottom in my heart, and I don't want my funds to be invested in no profit." ”

After finishing speaking, he glanced at Min Yusheng, who was pondering, and asked, "Governor Min, I heard that you came out of the Kaminari brothers before. But now that everyone is in the same boat, shouldn't they reveal some inside information? ”

"The Insider?" Min Yusheng replied with a wry smile, "I'm just the CEO of Korea, where will I know the inside story of the headquarters?" But based on the news and market rumors I've seen lately, the Kaminari brothers are in big trouble, if that's true. ”

"And most importantly, the headquarters didn't pay attention to the situation in Korea at all. But this time, Cho Jianho personally approached me and wanted to discuss the matter of capital injection. And their team came over very quickly, and they are currently staying at the Shilla Hotel. All of them seem to be abnormal, could they really be out of order? ”

is not in his position and does not seek his own politics, Min Yusheng has already changed his role well.

Hearing this, Kim Zhengda couldn't sit still, took out the phone in his arms and walked out, saying as he walked: "No, I have to test them!" (To be continued......)
