MTL - The Son of Finance of the Great Age-Chapter 967 Biggest lobbyist
Chapter 967 The biggest lobbyist
"For the current Huaxia capital market, what do you think?"
In this quiet private club, an old man over eighty years old smiled and looked at the young man sitting in front of him with admiration in his eyes. After looking up and down Zhong Shi for a long while, he asked a seemingly casual question.
Although he has been pampered for many years, he is old after all, and obvious age spots have appeared on his face. However, his hair was still black. Although the hairline had receded severely, it was meticulously groomed.
On the bridge of his nose, there is a pair of boxy antique glasses with black frames. This kind of glasses is almost extinct in the market. Only the elderly will like this style, and they are the kind that are at least sixty the old man.
In Hong Kong, as long as this style of glasses is mentioned, many people will think of one person.
As the super rich who once dominated the Chinese world for decades, he is also a symbol of the entire Chinese business community. Although the growth rate of his wealth has slowed down greatly in recent years, this does not affect his influence in the slightest.
Today he suddenly personally invited Zhong Shi to come over for a sit down, so there was a conversation above.
As the super rich who suddenly descended from the sky in Hong Kong in the past two decades, he has paid a lot of attention to Zhong Shi, but he and Zhong Shi don't know whether it is because of their temperament or aura. In short, the two have not established such a relationship friendship.
Today, I was entrusted by a big shot, and I came here to test Zhong Shi's tone in person. At the same time, he also wanted to have a good chat with this rising star, so this meeting was facilitated.
If there are a few people in Hong Kong who must be given special respect by Zhong Shi. Not only is he an old-timer in the business world, but he is also closely related to Hong Kong, sharing weal and woe.
At this time, Zhong Shi was sitting respectfully across from him, with his legs folded, his waist straight, his head slightly lowered, with an attitude of listening carefully, which made him very satisfied.
This clubhouse is also selected to a very high standard: the basic color is dark black for decoration, but the gold that shows the status and dignity can be seen everywhere in the subtleties. In the center of the room, there are four long leather sofas in a square shape. These are high-end seats imported from Italy. On the coffee table between them, red wine, tea sets, cigars, ashtrays and other items are neatly placed.
sat at the main seat facing the door, and Zhong Shi sat opposite him. After the waiter finished serving, he retreated respectfully, leaving only these two people in the room.
"Huaxia's capital market?"
After hearing the question, Zhong Shi was slightly surprised. After pondering for a moment, he said slowly, "Wang Sheng, you may not be clear. I basically don't operate capital in the mainland. So you want to ask me about this aspect?" I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
“I started my business as a business, and everyone in Hong Kong knows that my first pot of gold came from plastic flowers.”
Picking up the teacup, he took a sip, and then said, "Now my company is involved in industries such as infrastructure, import and export, real estate, banking, petroleum, public utilities, etc., employs more than 10,000 employees, has business all over the world, and the company's market value exceeds one trillion yuan. But Zhong Sheng, what I said has no other meaning. I just want to tell you that I run my business and you run your finance. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between us. Even if there is, we can make a fortune together. Isn't it?"
"I heard that you smoke, don't be polite, here are the best Cuban cigars."
After finishing speaking, seeing that Zhong Shi didn’t move anything on the table, he waved his hand and urged, “This is my favorite place to chat with friends, enjoy it to the fullest, and relax to communicate honestly.”
"Wang Sheng intends to tell me, just be straightforward, is that right?"
Zhong Shi smiled, took out a cigar and sniffed it, then lit the lighter and toasted it slowly, the aroma of the cigar spread immediately, "I'm not worried about the conflict of interest between us. Frankly speaking, During this period of time, I have been observing China’s capital market, from the initial bull market to the current collapse, I can only say that the current China’s capital market is very chaotic, and various forces have been involved in it, which together led to today’s situation.”
“Among them there are those who sincerely promote the stock market to rise, there are also many speculators, and there are even institutions with ulterior motives.”
Lighting the cigar with a match, Zhong Shi took a deep breath, let the smoke of the cigar pass through his nostrils, and then slowly exhaled, "I can't provoke any force, and I also I don’t intend to get involved in this muddy water, so I have no opinion on China’s capital market.”
"Young people after all!"
With a helpless smile, he poured half a glass of red wine for Zhong Shi himself, holding the wine bottle, "Our generation is different from yours. When I fled to Hong Kong during the war years, I couldn't even eat a full meal. I am very small, and I only think about how to survive in this world every day. It was not until I became famous in the 1970s and successfully entered the upper class of Hong Kong Britain that I realized that the whole world is not as simple as I thought. That At that time, even a small police commissioner in the UK was full of disdain for the Chinese in private, let alone the high-ranking Governor of Hong Kong and the government of the Queen of England."
"This kind of discrimination is not on the surface. On the surface, they will be polite to you. But even in private, a small British policeman dares to disrespect me. I believe you should know why, because Hong Kong is their In the colonies of the British Empire, we are the lower-class citizens of the British Empire, not in the same class as their white-skinned aborigines, because we are yellow-skinned, speak the vernacular, and eat soy milk fritters instead of milk bread for breakfast, it’s as simple as that.”
Speaking of this, he was a little excited.
"That's why I wanted to be the first to acquire a British-funded bank, even if I had to borrow money."
He took a sip of tea, and after calming down, his face finally returned to calm, "A few friends and I raised funds to acquire the bank from the British, which is today's Hutchison. That acquisition not only created a new era for the Chinese The acquisition of a British-funded institution was the first of its kind, and it really made the Chinese consortium valued by the entire British business community. Later, whether it was the Governor of Hong Kong or the Commissioner of Police, they all respected me when they saw me, and really regarded me as an equal existence.”
"Of course, I can talk to you today. I don't intend to impart experience to you."
After talking eloquently for a long time, he finally changed the subject, "Through a practical example that happened to me, I just want to tell you one thing. Only when you are self-improving will others truly respect you. This truth applies everywhere, regardless of Whether it's an individual person or a whole nation."
"After the 1980s, my wealth has reached a point where I have no worries for a lifetime. At that time, I can completely retire and enjoy life to the fullest. But I don't, because my wealth is obtained from the society, and I want to repay it. Society, I want to take on this responsibility. I believe you will be very clear about what will happen afterwards. I donate schools, donate hospitals, donate scientific research, etc. These are part of my social responsibilities.”
"And you, as the richest person in Hong Kong and even the richest person in the whole world, also have historical responsibilities. God chose you to achieve your current status, and also gave you responsibilities. It's just that you are young now, and I'm afraid you haven't realized it yet. .Your financial talent is far beyond what I can compare. Don't waste this talent, use it where it can be useful, and don't simply use it as a tool to make money."
"Wang Sheng came to me this time, it seems that it is not as simple as just chatting."
After a long silence, Zhong Shi put down his cigar and said seriously, "According to the content of the current conversation, I think this conversation is to persuade me to participate in China's capital market, right? If I guess correctly, next you It will also rise to the height of national security, won't it?"
"At our level, is nationality still a problem?"
She shook her finger, "I won't coerce you with patriotism or anything, and I don't use this theory to convince myself. The motivation that supports my work every day is my tens of thousands of employees and the people who rely on them. A family living on a salary. Think about it, if one day my company goes bankrupt, how many of my employees will lose their jobs, how many families will be broken up, how many children will lose their happy childhood, and how many human tragedies will happen? "
"This is what I call responsibility. It is the reason why I persist in working every day even though I am an octogenarian."
"..."
This passage shocked Zhong Shi greatly. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
For a long time, Zhong Shi and his team have been controlled in a very small range, no more than a few hundred people at most, and through the way of investing in shares, everyone in the Tianyu Fund has reached a level of net worth of tens of millions or even more. It is said that this is the richest small group in the world. Therefore, Zhong Shi never realized what would these people do if one day the Tianyu Fund was gone.
But for those large enterprises with a scale of tens of thousands, this is completely different. If something like what he said really happens, it will not only become a large-scale unemployment problem, but will also evolve into a serious social problem.
Extend this scope to a country, and the problem is even more serious. For a country like Huaxia, if Huaxia's capital market collapses completely, it will not only be the listed companies and small and medium shareholders that will be affected, but the families behind them. Those who may be in trouble due to the collapse of the stock market innocent people in this situation.
And those people, those fresh lives, will fall into suffering because of the greed and conspiracy of some people, which is obviously unfair.
If he is a citizen of another country, Zhong Shi can completely ignore it. But these people are all their own compatriots, speaking the same language and having the same culture. From this point alone, Zhong Shi could not convince his conscience at all.
For a moment he fell into a deep silence.
"Well said!"
At this moment, a person suddenly pushed the door in from the outside and broke the silence in the room, "Mr. Wang, what you said is really good. You are indeed a famous entrepreneur. Such a successful level, the ideological realm is indeed superior. To be honest, after hearing your words outside the door, I feel very ashamed."
"It's you?"
After seeing the face of the visitor, Zhong Shi lost his voice, "It's you, and you can invite Wang Sheng to be your lobbyist? I really didn't expect it!"
"Of course not me, how can I have such abilities."
Gao Dongfang smiled and shook his head, "There is another person who entrusted Wang Sheng to speak, and I am just another lobbyist. How about it, Zhong Sheng, are you interested in fighting side by side?"
