The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 116 HSBC Senior Class

   At this time, the taunting of the crowd stopped suddenly, and a young man of forty years old came over with Li Jiangli and stopped in front of the group of people.

"It's him?"

   Zhong Shi looked at the person who came, and tried his best to connect this person with the memory of later generations, and only remembered this person after a long time. The personable middle-aged man in front of him is Zheng Yang. He is the first Chinese to become the chairman of HSBC. Together with Li Jiacheng and Ren Qizhi, he is called "the most powerful person in Hong Kong's financial circle".

Four years ago, Zheng Yangzheng was seconded from the position of general manager of HSBC to the central policy group of the Hong Kong government. Provide comments and suggestions for policy formulation.

Now that he has returned to HSBC, he has resumed the role of general manager. Within HSBC, he is basically the number one person other than the board of directors. His parents should do everything possible to please him.

   You must know that cash flow is a very critical factor for a physical enterprise. Basically, with the support of cash, the enterprise can operate normally. What these companies can rely on is the banks with huge deposits, and HSBC, the largest bank in Hong Kong, has become the first choice for these companies to finance.

In addition to the need for cash, these enterprises and groups also need the support of banks for various businesses. For example, when Li Jiacheng acquired Hutchison Bank with a small fortune, he received the full support of Shen Bi, the then HSBC executive (chairman of the board of directors) Only with support can the acquisition be successful.

   "Mr. Zhong, hello!" Zheng Yang stretched out his right hand to the expressionless Zhong Shi under the astonished eyes of the young masters.

  After thinking about it for a while, Zhong Shi realized that such a big thing had happened to HSBC’s European department. In addition to a huge loss of 600 million US dollars in foreign exchange transactions, Zhong Shi also received a huge commission for opening a position in the British capital market. After these things happened, they would definitely be sent to Zheng Yang's desk as soon as possible. For a client as big as Zhong Shi, it would be difficult not to attract Zheng Yang's attention.

"Mr. Zheng, hello!" There was a smile on Zhong Shi's face, he shook Zheng Yang's hand, and then shook hands with Li Jiangli behind him, looking very natural, but he didn't mean to introduce himself at all .

   "What? Mr. Zhong knows me too?" Zheng Yang didn't care about Zhong Shi's rudeness at all, but instead had a look of surprise on his face, and he replied a little overjoyed.

   "Mr. Zheng is the God of Wealth in Hong Kong, how could I not know!" Zhong Shi laughed, his attitude was a bit exaggerated.

With his attitude, even a person with the best self-cultivation will inevitably feel a little bit of dissatisfaction in his heart, but Zheng Yang knows very well that the young man in front of him has nothing to ask of him. On the contrary, Zheng Yang himself needs to do everything possible to keep this young man. As a big client, if Zhong Shi transfers funds to competitors Standard Chartered or Huayin International, Zheng Yang will definitely be charged with dereliction of duty. As the one who asks for others, he naturally has no temper at all.

  However, his actions were noticed by the surrounding young masters, and immediately caused an uproar. These sons lack vision in certain aspects, but when they really face the big shots, they are all obedient, and they don't even dare to show their air.

   "Mr. Zhong, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Li Jiangli from Changhe Industry. Both of you are young talents. There will definitely be many opportunities for cooperation in the future." Zheng Yang became a lobbyist.

It is not surprising that Changhe Industrial has a close relationship with HSBC Bank. Before the establishment of HSBC Bank’s well-known headquarters at home and abroad, their temporary office was placed in the Changhe Industrial Building. A few years later, Changhe Industrial established a new building. Next to HSBC Bank.

  In this case, the personal relationship between Zheng Yang and Li Jiacheng can be seen, so it is only natural for him to lead Li Jiangli to meet some important bank clients.

"Naturally, I'm still a shareholder of Changhe Industry!" Zhong Shi smiled, then turned to face Li Jiangli, and asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Mr. Li, I wonder if your father intends to sell Changhe?" Industrial stocks?"

   "Mr. Zhong was joking, if you want to absorb the shares of Changhe Industrial, you can buy them in the secondary market!" Li Jiangli smiled shyly, and replied with some confusion.

"Of course I'm not talking about those tradable shares in the market. Those numbers are too small. I'm talking about large transactions, at least billions of Hong Kong dollars, not millions of small lots of tradable shares. Seeing that Li Jiangli didn't understand what he meant, Zhong Shi explained again.

When there is a large-scale transaction of a certain stock, it is often not through the platform of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but the two parties agree in private to transfer it at the market price, and then disclose the relevant information to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange within three days after the transaction , This is the so-called large transaction.

   Now Zhong Shi wants to use this method to try to get Li Jiacheng to transfer his shares. "Also, I can make a long-term commitment that I will only seek a seat on the board of directors, will not intervene in management, and will fully support Mr. Li's succession."

  Li Jiangli smiled awkwardly. He really didn't know what to say. On such a big issue, he could only report it to Li Jiacheng, but he couldn't make a decision himself.

"Today we met for the first time, and it's a little too abrupt to say this, but Mr. Li can pass on my words to your father. If he wants to transfer any time, he can find me at any time. At the same time, I will leave two One billion Hong Kong dollars in cash can be used as payment funds at any time, and this promise is valid until 2000." Zhong Shi said firmly.

Now the stock price of Changhe Industrial is fluctuating at 18 yuan (Hong Kong dollars) (without considering splits, etc.), and the daily trading volume is several million shares, which is only a drop in the bucket compared to its total number of hands. Zhongshi wants to absorb and be able to enter I don't know how long I will have to wait for the shares of the board of directors.

  He now has more and more funds, and it is impossible to invest all his funds in the risky derivatives market. He needs to find some stocks with good growth and strong profits to invest in, so as to keep his wealth from shrinking.

  In his previous life, he set up his own fund, but the operation strategy of this fund is quantitative investment, which captures every uncertain price fluctuation in the market through mathematical models, and then obtains profits through high-frequency transactions, which basically does not involve research on stocks.

  For example, when the price of a certain stock in the Hang Seng Index is abnormal in a short period of time, these trading models will automatically buy it, and then sell it to the ETF fund at the weighted price of the Hang Seng Index to take advantage of the tiny price difference. Or, by comparing the lot ratio of buyers and sellers, buy low and sell high or sell high and buy low during a certain period of time to arbitrage profits.

   Therefore, in terms of stock selection, Zhong Shi is a weakness, and the analysis of those fundamentals and technical indicators is like waste paper to him. Zhong Shi can only achieve his goal of asset preservation through a limited number of stocks in the memory of later generations.

  After entering 2000, with the wanton issuance of US dollars, other countries in the world were also forced to start quantitative easing policies, and the rate of currency depreciation increased rapidly. In this case, holding cash is the most disadvantageous behavior.

  However, this also creates another problem, that is, the original major shareholders of these companies will definitely not give up their shares, especially this kind of self-made rich, let alone give up control of the group established by one hand.

After hearing Zhong Shi's promise to leave two billion Hong Kong dollars in HSBC, Zheng Yang showed a satisfied smile on his face, and quickly interjected: "Then I would like to thank Mr. Zhong for his kindness. Pass it on to Mr. Li." The Mr. Li he is talking about here is naturally Li Jiacheng from Changhe Industry, not the Li Jiangli in front of him.

   Zheng Yang's words just gave Li Jiangli a chance to step down. He smiled apologetically at Zhong Shi and Liao Xiaohua, and left with Zheng Yang. From the beginning to the end, Zheng Yang had no intention of introducing Li Jiangli to the group of sons and brothers who surrounded Zhong Shi and others.

   "I said... I said, what the **** is going on?" After Zheng Yang walked away, a greasy-haired and pink-faced young man came to his senses. He couldn't believe what he had just heard, and even stuttered a little.

   "I don't know, that person just now seems to be the general manager of HSBC, and... the eldest son of the Li family." Another young man who woke up also stammered.

   "What's the matter, everyone? Do you want to stay here? Continue to humiliate my friend?" Zhong Shi raised his head and sarcastically said with disdain. "Don't talk about me, it's the Liao family who is a dilapidated family in your eyes. I'm afraid the net worth now exceeds most of you."

  Before this group of people would not believe what Zhong Shi said at all, but after experiencing the incident of the personal visit by the HSBC Taipan, no one would doubt the truth of what Zhong Shi said.

  The young masters were ashamed and were about to leave here. At this moment, Zhong Shi suddenly called Zhao Jiajie: "Hey, who is that? What does your family do? Is it on the market?"

Zhao Jiajie is not a pure idiot. Hearing Zhong Shi's words, he realized that the unpredictable young man in front of him hated him. He quickly put on a smiling face and lowered his figure and said: "Mr. Zhong, How much I offended you before, I hope you will have a lot of adults and forget about the previous things."

"This is not allowed. Unless you apologize to my friend and find out the people behind the scenes, otherwise this matter will not be so easy to forget. You know, I want to inquire about you and your family, and there should be no What difficulty." Zhong Shi didn't back down at all, and his tone was a little threatening.

  He now attaches great importance to his own safety, especially in such a crowded place, if someone with ulterior motives lets these young masters come to test him, then the matter will be serious.

  Zhao Jiajie did not expect that the young man in front of him reacted so aggressively, which made him in a dilemma. In fact, he was just trying to humiliate Liao Xiaohua, but he accidentally offended an unknown big shot.
