The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 443 "Official" base battle (2)

   "Sir, if you don't have an appointment, you can't go in!"

  The pretty lady at the reception spoke softly to Zhongshi. She has been in this position for a long time, and she has developed a pair of piercing eyes. She dare not underestimate anyone who comes here to visit, because everyone who has the courage to visit Quantum Fund has a net worth of hundreds of millions.

When Zhong Shi walked in, the lady in charge of reception noticed him. Although he was very young, he had no timidity on his face, his voice was loud and full of confidence, and there was a hint of condescension. Yes, this young man is still handsome, which is really exciting and enviable. On the other hand, the one behind him, although the clothes on his body were very bright, gave the impression that he was a little timid, coupled with his unrefined appearance, it could be used as a wretched two words. words to describe.

  If Ma Jiarui knew that he was such an image in the eyes of the front desk lady, he would definitely vomit three liters of blood.

Although she had a good impression of Zhong Shi in her heart, the lady at the front desk had to put away the little thoughts in her heart and put on a businesslike appearance, but when she spoke, she tried to lower her tone and soften her tone, hoping that the other party would notice My own hard work.

Zhong Shi naturally didn't care about these small details. After being rejected, he touched his chin, pondered for a moment, then asked the receptionist for a pen and paper, wrote a few words on it, and handed it to the receptionist. Returning it to the bewildered front desk lady, she said, "Tell this to Rodney Jones, I think he will show up soon."

  Looking at the big "horizon" on the white paper, the front desk lady's expression was confused, and after a half-believing glance at Zhong Shi, she hesitated to dial the internal number.

   Unexpectedly, two minutes later, the figure of Rodney Jones appeared at the front desk. As soon as he appeared, he glanced at Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui, shook his head imperceptibly, then turned his head to look at the beautiful front desk lady, and asked in a low voice with a little dissatisfaction: "Elena, just now you said that you are Where are the people from Tianyu Fund?"

   "Are you Rodney Jones?" Zhong Shi touched the tip of his nose, stretched out his right hand in embarrassment, and introduced himself, "I am the manager of Tianyu Fund, Zhong Shi."

Looking at Rodney Jones' obviously astonished expression, Zhong Shi's face showed a look of astonishment, and then pulled Ma Jiarui to introduce: "This is the senior partner of Tianyu Fund, Mr. Ma Jiarui, you can call him Ke Reese."

   Rodney Jones was a tall, middle-aged man with graying brown hair, high browbones and deep eyes unique to Caucasians, and thin lips under a huge nose. Regardless of his identity, no one would have guessed that this plain-looking middle-aged white man turned out to be a top trader in this Asian currency market.

"You are Zhong Shi?" The stunned expression just flashed across Rodney Jones' face, and the next moment he stretched out his hand towards Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, and shook it firmly, "No Knowing that Mr. Zhong is here, is there any important matter to discuss? Could it be that you plan to invest the funds in our fund for management, if this is the case, then we are really flattered!"

  In addition to studying the economy of the Asian region, Quantum Fund has set up an office in Hong Kong, which also means attracting local funds. You must know that although Hong Kong is only a tiny place, there are quite a few super rich people in the world. If they can absorb the funds of these people into the investors of Quantum Fund, they will pay more for management fees every year. A lot of income.

"Mr. Jones is really good at joking!" Zhong Shi withdrew his palm calmly, looked around, and then said leisurely, "Isn't Mr. Jones planning to talk to me here, why don't you invite me in for a sit down? "

"Oh, God, this is really my mistake!" Rodney Jones suddenly realized, wiped the sweat that was not on his forehead with his hands, and then said apologetically, "Mr. Zhong is Distinguished guests, we have to treat them with the highest level of etiquette. I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhong, please wait a moment, I'll go get ready."

   After finishing speaking, he winked at the front desk lady, and without waiting for Zhong Shi to express anything, he hurried to the inner room.

"Zhong Sheng, what does he mean?" Ma Jiarui asked Zhong Shi in a low voice while the front desk lady was serving coffee, "How do you see his expression? He is not very willing to visit us, and he even left us in the air." Is there such a way of hospitality here?"

"Of course!" Zhong Shi nodded disapprovingly. After looking around, a narrow smile appeared on his face. Is it right?"

   "So that's how it is!" Ma Jiarui nodded thoughtfully, without saying anything else.

Five minutes later, when Rodney Jones had packed everything up, he came out with a smile on his face, and apologized to Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui, who were drinking coffee leisurely, "This is really a huge surprise, Mr. Zhong Shi , welcome to the Hong Kong office of Quantum Fund. Your brother is our investor, and we very much hope to see you become one of our investors. Please, two distinguished gentlemen."

  Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui smiled at each other, and walked towards the office area of ​​Quantum Fund with big strides one after the other.

This is an office with a relatively small leased area. Looking around, it is at most 500 feet long, and the lobby occupies about 300 feet. Dozens of computers are scattered here and there. and phone. The traders poked their heads out curiously, wanting to see who could get Rodney Jones to go out to greet them in person, but when they saw a young guy and another unattractive guy, their faces were full of expressions. Showing disappointment.

Stepping on the soft carpet, Zhong Shi talked with Rodney Jones perfunctorily while looking at the surrounding environment quietly. Except for some necessary office equipment, the decoration of other parts of Quantum Fund's office in Hong Kong It can only be described as lackluster. Old and yellowed wallpapers, slightly outdated tables and chairs, messy desktops, litter everywhere, and even folding beds randomly placed under the desks of some traders.

   These are not surprising, the life of a trader is inherently chaotic. What makes Zhong Shi feel amused is that the TVs embedded in the walls are all broadcasting CNBC programs, and the Bloomberg terminals of the traders are also full of market trends in European and American capital markets.

  My God! It is daytime in Hong Kong time. Which European and American capital markets are open now?

After roughly surveying the office area here, Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui were brought to a reception room of about 20 square meters. After the two parties were seated, before Rodney Jones could speak, Zhong Shi walked towards He made a silence gesture, and after looking around, he mouthed "pen and paper" towards Rodney Jones, but didn't make a sound.

  Rodney Jones' face turned extremely pale. After looking at the bell stone with a complicated expression for a moment, he got up to fetch a pen and paper from the next room. After placing the pen and paper in front of Zhong Shi, he scanned the conference room suspiciously, but found nothing strange.

"What we're talking about today will be highly confidential, so I can't leave any recorded records, do you understand?" After writing a line of large characters on the paper, Zhong Shi delivered the paper to Rodney Jones.

   "Understood!" Rodney Jones heaved a sigh of relief. It turned out that this was the reason, not what he thought. Someone installed bugs in his office. Thinking of this, he couldn't help putting away the little contempt in his heart, and began to look squarely at the young man in front of him.

   Rodney Jones knew the news that the real source of funds for the Hong Kong market was not the Hong Kong government, but a new consortium called Tianyu Fund. After talking with Stanley Company and Goodman Company for a while, he knew that the other party was a company with strong financial strength. It is said that the founder's surname was Zhong, and his net worth was as high as billions of dollars. No one knew exactly how much.

Originally, Rodney Jones also participated in the sniping of Zhongshi by Stanley Company and Goodman Company, but at that time, a group of Quantum Fund executives including Druckenmiller only believed that Zhongshi was a wealthy man from Indonesia. The second generation of officials did not associate him with the Tianyu Fund. It wasn't until recently that they suddenly realized that Zhong Shi, who had previously fought against them, was the actual helm of Tianyu Fund.

   Now that the opponent who can be called the enemy of life and death is coming in person, he naturally needs to prepare well. Even though most of Quantum Fund's funds are operated in the United States, Rodney Jones still ordered the traders to stop the transactions at hand, for fear that the other party would notice something. After everything was ready, he dared to let Zhong Shi and others enter the door.

  Although he is young, he is old and cautious in doing things, and his personality is hard to say, but he can't hide the confidence in his eyes. This is a tricky guy. Rodney Jones secretly commented on Zhongshi in his heart.

  Generally speaking, in the financial market, it is rare to publicly challenge the situation. Whether it is long or short, both parties will try their best to conceal their positions and intentions. But now that the two sides are blatantly tearing their skins apart, it is definitely very rare for the other party to come to the door so swaggeringly when they both understand the other party's intentions.

   "Could it be that he intends to persuade me or George to give up shorting Hong Kong? If that's the case, it's really ridiculous!" Rodney Jones secretly thought of such a possibility, but the next moment, he categorically denied it.

"You must be wondering why I didn't invite myself. You and I know who you and I are, and where we stand now, don't you?" Zhong Shi continued to write on the paper, "I believe you must be very surprised. The purpose of coming here this time is to give Mr. Soros, Mr. Druckenmiller, and you, Mr. Jones, a chance to withdraw from the Hong Kong capital market safely."

"Sure enough!" Rodney Jones' face twitched suddenly, and he couldn't hide the surprise in his heart. After staring at Zhongshi for a while, he took the paper and wrote on it : "Is this your statement, or the Hong Kong government's statement? Sorry, Hong Kong is a free economic market. All our decisions are based on the consideration of winning profits for our customers, and we will not change our position easily."

"It is precisely because of your profession that I made such a proposal!" After reading this almost rejection, Zhong Shi did not get angry, but smiled slightly, and continued to write, "As part of the transaction , I can provide you with some information, enough to make up for your losses here."

"Are you kidding me? To make up for our losses, do you know how much profit we will lose if we evacuate now?" Rodney Jones was obviously a little angry, and the words he wrote began to be rude, but soon he He began to try to win over Zhong Shi, "But if you give up and continue to support the market, I believe that not only will we not become rivals, but we can also make a fortune in the Hong Kong market together."

"Sorry, I won't be on the side of the loser." Zhong Shi smiled slightly and gave a negative answer. After he stopped writing and thought about it, he wrote on the paper, "I welcome Mr. Call me anytime and remember my offer is for him to cut his losses, not take his profits, that's critical!"

"There are still two days, we have enough patience to see who is the final loser!" Rodney Jones' face changed, and finally he couldn't help but write on the paper, "I thought you I came to visit this time, intending to ask us to let you go, but I didn’t expect it to end like this. It’s really unexpected. I would like to ask, do you still have enough funds to support the market now? Tell me a secret , In the next few days, they will launch an offensive that you can't imagine, and the funds they will use will be as huge as they are, which will definitely be beyond your imagination."

"I'm ready!" Facing the "unimaginable" full of papers, Zhong Shi's face did not fluctuate at all, and he wrote, "Also, I can tell you a piece of news, you have been monitored here Now, your every move is under the control of others, even including e-mail, so it is best not to use the phone, computer, etc. here. Of course, this person is not me. I believe Mr. Soros, after hearing this news, Anyone interested in calling me."

"You...you..." After seeing what Zhong Shi wrote, Rodney Jones jumped up like a rabbit whose tail had been stepped on, and pointed at Zhong Shi's nose, intending to reprimand him, but For a moment, he was like a duck whose throat was pinched, unable to make a sound.

  Watching his farce-like performance, Zhong Shi stretched out a finger at him, waved it contemptuously, and then made a gesture of calling, and then walked away.

  Behind him, Ma Jiarui lit the piece of paper full of messages, and the paper gradually rose into a flame amidst the green smoke, and finally turned into a piece of ashes.
