The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 203 Net worth 5 billion US dollars

  To the surprise of Zheng Yang and Zeng Yuanshuang, Zhong Shi didn't show much reaction to Jeremy's words, but just smiled lightly, and didn't refute as Zheng Yang and Zeng Yuanshuang thought.

  Zheng Yang may not be clear, but Zeng Yuanshuang is very clear. When she met Zhong Shi last time, this kind-looking young man planned a very large-scale acquisition due to some quarrels. This acquisition lasted for nearly a year. The process was full of ups and downs, and it even involved two wealthy families. Just when people believed that the acquisition party had completely failed, it was suddenly reported that the mainland was tightening the real estate industry. Funding policy, to the surprise of observers is that the original failed acquirer has become the ultimate winner.

  Although the acquired Skyline International Holdings Co., Ltd. did not disclose the information of its shareholders, Zeng Yuanshuang is sure that this offshore company is a company under the Zhong Consortium, and it is even very likely that it was newly established for that acquisition.

Although Zhong Shi didn't say anything, Maxim who was on the side quit. He immediately said coldly: "Sir, don't you just judge the quality of a fund by looking at these superficial things? Besides, You don't seem to be our client, so you don't need to comment here."

   To be honest, the interior decoration of Tianyu Fund is not as bad as Jeremy said. Although the decoration is simple, it is not simple. It's just that Jeremy, as a senior executive of a foreign-funded bank, naturally has an inexplicable sense of superiority compared to Hong Kong's financial institutions, and he said the offensive words just now almost without thinking.

Maxim, who is also an American, naturally knows Jeremy's deep disdain, but after he invested his own funds in the flagship fund, it doubled in less than a year. Moreover, he himself worked in the Tianyu Fund, and he had long regarded himself as a member of the Tianyu Fund, so when he heard Jeremy's harsh words, he immediately refuted.

After hearing Maxim's words with a strong New York accent, Jeremy couldn't help putting away the contempt in his heart, and carefully looked at the person who was obviously accompanying him. Only then did he realize that the person in front of him was also a white man. Western race with skin and blue eyes.

  Although Hong Kong is a metropolis with a high degree of internationalization, most of the Westerners here are Europeans, especially the British. Americans who work in financial institutions are either high-level executives or representatives of certain institutions. There are not many people like Maxim who work for others, especially in the fund industry.

  Thinking of this, Jeremy couldn't help but look at Zhong Shi a few more times, but found that the face of this young looking fund manager didn't change much, and he still had a smiling expression. Jeremy was puzzled, and looked at the two colleagues together, and found that they were standing behind Zhong Shi at the same time, looking at Zhong Shi with a somewhat inexplicable taste.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong." Jeremy immediately bent down, and respectfully saluted a gentleman, "Dear Mr. Zhong, please forgive me for my careless words earlier. In fact, I just feel puzzled by the environment here. No offense intended."

  His reaction was quite astute, and he made amends as soon as he realized his mistake. Although he didn't know what Zhong Shi's attitude was, there was only so much he could do so far.

  Zhong Shi glanced at Maxim approvingly, and then gave Jeremy a step down in a timely manner: "Mr. Jeremy, let's stop entangled in these small places, and go to the conference room to discuss business."

A group of five people walked into the conference room of Tianyu Fund one after another. It was completely different from when it was established. In the center of the conference room was a long dark mahogany table with various seasonal fruits and three There is a telephone specially used for conferences, and on the left and right are ten sofa chairs designed according to ergonomics. On one end of the wall is a large projection screen, and on the other end are several coffee machines, which are emitting a strong aroma of coffee.

   "This is..." Jeremy sniffed vigorously, turned around and asked in disbelief, "Is this authentic Blue Mountain coffee?"

"Of course!" A look of contempt appeared on Maxim's face. He casually walked to the coffee machine, made a cup of fragrant coffee carelessly, tasted it casually, and then held the cup towards Jerry. With one move, Mi teased teasingly: "How about it, do you want to try it?"

"Okay, Mark, hurry up and serve coffee to the guests." Zhong Shi's face darkened, preventing Maxim from continuing to show off, and then invited Jeremy, who was looking worried, and Zheng and Zeng, who were suppressing laughter. After getting to his seat, he waited for Maxim to go out before he said, "Please come here this time. I believe you already know what it is. I don't know what you mean?"

   "I don't know how much Mr. Zhong wants to raise this time? May I take the liberty to ask about the purpose?" After the three of them glanced at each other, Zeng Yuanshuang was the first to ask the common question in their hearts.

"This..." Zhong Shi knocked on the table, raised his head and thought for a long time before he said, "About five billion dollars. As for the usage..." Before he could finish speaking, he heard a slap, and saw Jie Remy fell off the large sofa chair and lay faceless on the ground, looking like a patient with epilepsy, almost twitching his limbs and foaming at the mouth.

After half a day, Jeremy got up from the ground. He didn't care about patting the dust on his body, so he asked Zhong Shi eagerly: "Mr. Zhong, did I hear you right? Are you sure you didn't just say five hundred?" $10,000, but $5 billion?"

  In English, the unit of a million is a million, and the unit of a billion is a billion. If you don’t listen carefully, you may hear a million as a billion.

   "Five billion dollars, of course!" Jeremy's two or three gaffes already made Zhong Shi a little dissatisfied. "Mr. Jeremy, do you have any ear problems, do you need me to introduce you to a private doctor?" Zhong Shi frowned and said displeasedly.

Zhong Shi did a rough calculation just now, and found that his current net worth is close to five billion U.S. dollars, originally only three billion U.S. dollars, but he earned one billion U.S. dollars through this year, plus the investment funds in American hedge funds, After all the calculations, there are five billion U.S. dollars in total.

  Jeremy immediately sat up straight, looked directly at Zhong Shi, and said very seriously, "Five billion US dollars, this is a very huge amount. I wonder what Mr. Zhong will guarantee?"

   Regarding such a large loan, Zheng Yang and Zeng Yuanshuang also had the same doubts. Therefore, after Jeremy said the words of guarantee mortgage, the two of them looked at each other, and then looked at Zhongshi with the same serious expression, waiting for him to give an answer.

   "Cash! There are also some bonds with a credit rating of 3A!" Zhong Shi didn't show the slightest timidity about the question of the trio's alliance. In fact, if he is not afraid that it will not impact a country's foreign exchange reserves, he will not plan to raise funds.

  The three of them were stunned immediately. Since Zhongshi didn't have a cash flow problem, why did he need to raise money? The three of them usually do some corporate financing, and they don't know much about financing in the financial industry, because most of the financing similar to funds is through brokers or investment banks, and they do not deal directly with commercial banks.

They are thinking according to the logic of general enterprises, completely forgetting that Tianyu Capital is actually a private equity fund and a hedge fund. It is very common for such institutions to borrow funds, and even the risk of investment products varies. Those with relatively low risk can borrow more funds.

Seeing that the three of them didn't respond, Zhong Shi thought they were well-informed, so he continued on his own: "This loan is a short-term loan, and it will only take half a year at most. Through careful research and analysis, our fund, I think there is a wave of market conditions in the world capital market at present, so I will find a few people to raise funds. As for the specific market and use, I can’t tell you.”

   "What about risk control?" After looking at each other briefly, Zeng Yuanshuang was the first to react, and as soon as Zhong Shi's voice fell, she asked immediately. At this time, in her heart, she had seriously considered the feasibility of borrowing money.

"This..." Zhong Shi thought for a long time, and finally shook his head helplessly, "I can't guarantee risk control, but I will do related risk hedging, and I will definitely not let your funds lose money. Moreover, I personally As a fund manager, I must also be responsible for the client's funds, you will not doubt my professional ethics?"

   "This...I need to discuss it with other people!" Zeng Yuanshuang didn't refuse, but just said this lightly, then got up and went outside to make a phone call.

Zhong Shi looked at Zheng Yang, Zheng Yang's face was a little unnatural, and he said embarrassingly after a while: "If we can't announce the direction and target of investment, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to come up with such a high amount of funds. Otherwise, Is there anything else Mr. Zhong can mortgage?"

   With such a large loan amount, there is no guarantee of creditworthiness, and Tianyu Fund has no credit records in major commercial banks, so Zheng Yang's statement is not an exaggeration.

"We can lend you a loan!" At this time, Jeremy, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said, "As for cash and bonds, we need a professional audit agency to judge. Apart from that, there are no other subsidiary condition!"

"After all, banks from the US market respond differently to European banks." Zhong Shi secretly peeked at Jeremy's face, and found that since he heard that he had cash and 3A bonds as guarantees, , has been in a state of extreme excitement, and is not like the other two who are looking forward and backward and timid.

"OK!" Zhong Shi stood up and shook hands with Jeremy without even looking at the embarrassed Zheng Yang, "Time is running out, I hope your auditors can review it as soon as possible, I hope it can be done within a week These things." Then he turned his head and said to Zheng Yang who was at a loss: "Sorry, Mr. Zheng, the cash in our HSBC account may have to be transferred to the Chase Bank account."

  Zheng Yang was stunned, he never expected that Zhong Shi's revenge would come so soon.

PS: A recent news, as **** was accused of defrauding the government and making it guarantee a defective home loan, a whistleblower inside **** provided information to the prosecution, eventually forcing **** and The U.S. government reached a settlement of 614 million U.S. dollars, and the whistleblower received a reward of 63.9 million U.S. dollars. It seems that whistleblowing is really a career with high risks and high returns! Finally, I would like to thank book friends for their irrevocable monthly votes and feixingwang's evaluation votes!
