Andrew has an advantage, that is, he is very thick-skinned, and after quietly zipping up his pants, he followed Zhong Shi silently, and followed the three of them into the VIP room that had been prepared for a long time.

Zhou and Liu, who were walking behind Zhong Shi, naturally noticed Andrew's actions, but the other party was also a figure with a head and a face, and they were obviously familiar with Zhong Shi, so the two naturally couldn't dissuade them, so they could only let him follow.

It was a room in the middle of the cabin, about a hundred feet long and wide, and it had to be said that it was quite a luxury to make such a VIP room here. At first glance, the room is surrounded by a circle of large, comfortable cream leather sofas, opposite a small bar with a wide variety of foreign wines, and in the middle of the room is a rectangular granite table with a few goblets and an open glass of red wine.

As soon as Zhong Shi entered the door, he was invited to the top position directly facing the door. Zhou Xinglang opened the red wine with a "bang", poured out a little, shook it for a long time, carefully looked at it for a moment by the light, and then stretched out his head to sniff and sniff, then took a sip, with an intoxicated expression on his face, and said to Zhong Shi with a smile after a while: "Zhong Sheng, this is 82 Lafite, the condition is very good, do you want to give it a try?" ”

"Of course!" Before Zhong Shi could speak, Andrew couldn't wait to reply. As he spoke, he took the red wine from Zhou Xinglang's hand, poured it into the long-necked decanter, shook it vigorously a few times, and then poured a small half bottle into the goblet and carefully handed it to Zhong Shi.

Generally speaking. It takes about half an hour to decant the wine after opening, so that the wine is fully oxidized, soft and fragrant. However, Andrew knew that Zhongshi never paid attention to these red tapes, so he only made a gesture a little and took the initiative to "make amends".

Taking the goblet, Zhong Shi shook it lightly for a moment, looked at Zhou Xinglang with a smile, and said slowly: "The two of you came here this time, it should be more than just inviting me to drink red wine, right?" It's a good wine, but there's a whole row of it hidden in the basement of this gentleman's house. As he spoke, he pointed at Andrew with his hand. Seeing the two of them with a look of surprise on their faces. After nodding with satisfaction, he continued, "Let's get straight to the point." ”

Seeing that Zhong Shi was not shy about Andrew, Zhou Xinglang and Liu Mingyuan quietly exchanged a look, and then Liu Mingyuan cleared his throat. Lang Sheng said: "That's right. Mr. Chung. We want you to join our club. A wealth club only open to high-end clients. ”

"Fortune Club?" Zhong Shi tilted his head and thought for a long time, as if he had never heard of a similar club in his previous life, at least not of the Fortune Club jointly organized by Stanley and Goodman.

"That's the ......" Seeing that Zhong Shi did not refuse at the first time. didn't show any other expressions, Liu Mingyuan felt that there might be a play, and then told the whole story.

Originally, this so-called club is actually a department that provides private wealth management business, but it is different from the private wealth management department currently owned by their two major investment banks because the threshold is higher. The entry point for private wealth management in companies such as Stanley and Goodman is now $15 million, while the threshold for this so-called club nature has reached $100 million.

Don't think that you can get in with a net worth of $100 million, in fact, $100 million is just a stepping stone, and this part will appear in the form of cash, checks, promissory notes, etc., rather than those equity that is not easy to cash out. This means that people who are able to join this club have at least $100 million in cash.

Naturally, in addition to these conditions, there are other rules and regulations, such as the need for a recommendation from two senior management personnel, the need for unanimous consent from other members, and so on.

There are also many benefits of joining this kind of club, for example, the investment bank will provide a full range of investment services, including antiques, stocks, bonds, automobiles, famous paintings, real estate and other aspects. As long as it is a field that can make money, they can call in top experts in the relevant field.

For example, if you want to invest in a country's stock market, they will have a one-on-one one-on-one conversation with the chief economist and chief strategist of their investment bank, and provide a large research team at your disposal. This kind of almost private customized service is unimaginable for customers with small funds.

"Our club is international, where you can communicate and share information with wealthy people from all over the world. Whether it is gold, oil, stocks, or cocoa beans, in short, as long as you can invest in something, we will provide all-round and unconditional information support. Speaking of the worst of the time, Liu Mingyuan was already pale.

In fact, the nature of this club is already somewhat similar to that of a hedge fund. No, this can be said to be a change made by the investment bank to retain large clients, and this change is directly targeted at hedge funds. Due to the prevalence of hedge funds on Wall Street, many large clients have turned their funds into the arms of hedge funds, which has also caused the private wealth management business of investment banks to continue to shrink, in order to reverse this decline, they came up with such a solution.

Zhong Shi thought about it again and again, but he never had a clear idea, so he couldn't help but ask more: "What I want to ask is, I don't know how many members of this club are in Hong Kong?" ”

Liu Mingyuan glanced at Zhou Xinglang and saw that he nodded imperceptibly, so he touched the tip of his nose and said with some embarrassment: "Mr. Zhong, I won't tell you anything, you will be the first customer of our development in Hong Kong, and the membership number will be HK0001." If you decide to join, then we can waive your membership fee for at least three years. ”

According to what Liu Mingyuan said just now, the membership fee for one year is one million US dollars, and three years is three million US dollars, which is not a small number. However, for those who can shell out $100 million at once, this discount will naturally not be taken into their eyes.

It's just that Zhong Shi still couldn't make up his mind for a while, and he was still calculating in his heart what was going on. He is well aware of the evil deeds of these international investment banks, although he claims to be doing his best to serve his customers. But in reality, it was not the same thing, and in later generations, there was even a country's sovereign wealth fund that invested in Goodman, and they were completely defeated, so angry that the country's leaders threatened to sue them.

Seeing that the other party was still hesitating, Zhou Xinglang opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Zhong, in order to show our sincerity here, we can reveal a little top-secret information. At present, although there are currency crises in the Asian region, and even a few countries have turned into financial crises, which has seriously jeopardized their economic development, according to the rigorous arguments of our economists. We do not see a depreciation of the Chinese currency in the region's second-largest economy. Although this will cause some disadvantages to their exports, it will definitely support Hong Kong's economy. ”

"Will the Chinese currency not depreciate?" Zhong Shi was shocked in his heart, these people really have some energy, and they can even predict this. Later generations of Huaxia did repeatedly guarantee it. In a currency crisis, exports will not be increased by choosing currency depreciation. But now. No one can be sure. In the end, will Huaxia choose the road of depreciation.

It is important to know that once the behemoth of China chooses to depreciate, it will have a major impact on the entire regional economy at that time, and Southeast Asian economies, including Hong Kong, will have to change their corresponding economic policies to deal with it. When the time comes. Fluctuations in currencies, bonds, stocks, etc., will follow.

"Your research team is really impressive." Zhong Shi praised him sincerely, this conclusion undoubtedly touched him, and Andy Xie, who resigned with him in his previous life, had some incense, so he slammed the wine glass and made up his mind, "Okay, I'll be the No. 1 in Hong Kong." ”

After hearing the affirmative answer, Zhou Xinglang and Liu Mingyuan were naturally pleasantly surprised, they never thought that it would take only so much time to be able to move Zhong Shi, and after the two looked at each other silently, they stood up and bowed down to Zhong Shi to express their gratitude.

Naturally, they are well aware that although the agreement reached on such an occasion is a verbal agreement, the specific details still need to be negotiated and operated by the legal teams of both parties. But since the owner of the money himself has already responded, there will naturally be no major problems in other aspects.

The two sides looked at each other and smiled, raised their glasses, and drank the red wine that had already woken up almost awake. At this time, where did they still have the mind to taste it, but it was a pity that this bottle of Lafite, which cost tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, was swallowed by several people like a cow chewing peonies.

"I still have a question!"

Just when a few people were staggering and the guests and hosts were happy, a weak voice suddenly came, breaking this harmonious atmosphere, and Zhong Shi and the others remembered that there was another Andrew at the scene.

Zhong Shi frowned, and said with some displeasure: "Andrew, do you have any doubts?" The tone of his speech was a little unkind, and it was obvious that Andrew's interjection at this time was a little out of place.

"There is no doubt." Andrew lowered his eyelids, silently avoided Zhong Shi's forced gaze, and sighed for a long time, then he mustered up the courage, raised his head again, and said to Zhou Xinglang, "I don't know if I can join this club?" ”

"You?" Zhou Xinglang was suddenly taken aback, you must know that the things they discussed were not trivial, although Andrew was also famous, but he never expected that the other party would have a net worth of up to 100 million US dollars. After lowering his head and thinking about it, and after glancing at Liu Mingyuan again, Zhou Xinglang said, "Since you are Mr. Zhong's person, as long as the corresponding conditions are met, we will naturally not reject people thousands of miles away." ”

A smile immediately appeared on Andrew's face.

He was happy, but Zhong Shi was not satisfied, and after snorting coldly, Zhong Shi said in a strange manner: "Why, Andrew, don't you believe in my ability?" What he said was naturally the investment ability of Tianyu Fund, and to some extent, Zhong Shi's personal ability.

Andrew's face twitched suddenly, and after pursing his lips, he reluctantly made an excuse, "Zhong Sheng, the first key to investment is not to put all your eggs in one basket." The implication is to spread the risk.

In fact, there is another sentence in his heart, "Zhong Sheng, you have invested here yourself, don't you allow me to invest?" Do you also want to 'allow only the governors to set fires, and not to let the people light lamps.'" Recently, he has learned Chinese very slippery, and he already knows how to use idioms to express his meaning, but even if he lends him another guts, he doesn't dare to say such things in front of Zhong Shi.

"Hey, hey." Zhong Shi sneered twice, looked at Andrew with a strange expression, and left the next sentence of "You are so self-conscious" and walked away.

At this time, Andrew didn't go, he didn't go, and after gritting his teeth, he finally decided not to chase after him. Let's explain to him when there is an appropriate time, after Andrew comforted himself like this, he began to discuss with Zhou Xinglang, Liu Mingyuan and others whether it was better to "HK0002" or "HK0008".

Following the local customs, Andrew also began to become superstitious. (To be continued......)
