MTL - The Son of Finance of the Great Age-Chapter 890 Arrogant Deutsche Bank (2)
Chapter 890 Arrogant German Bank (2)
Zhong Shi's personality is relatively peaceful and docile, but a person in his position undoubtedly has a personality, which is human nature. It's just that this kind of character and habit will only be shown in front of opponents of equal status, because when facing people who are not of the same level, this kind of pride will have no effect at all, and it will only damage one's own image in vain .
The current performance of Deutsche Bank undoubtedly aroused the anger of Zhongshi. You must know that wherever he goes, although he can't reach the point where the stars are holding the moon, everyone in the industry treats him as a VIP. But now at the headquarters of Deutsche Bank, not only have they not received such treatment, they are even inferior to ordinary visitors.
It's about to be shut down!
"After their people appear, don't mention that we are instructed by the government!"
Taking a long breath and trying to calm down his emotions, Zhong Shi said to Ivana, "Look at the reception we will receive without the background of the government."
Ivana silently glanced at Zhong Shi without speaking. She was also angry, and naturally she did not intend to help Deutsche Bank.
"Just communicated with them, someone will come out soon!"
After the phone call, Jiang Shan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said carefully, "It's Mr. Lucas Adenauer, Director of Public Relations."
"Why not Chairman Joseph Ackerman?"
Zhong Shi frowned slightly, but relaxed the next moment, "Perhaps there are already some arrangements. If that's the case, then we'll see each other."
Before coming, Jiang Shan did inform the chairman's office of Deutsche Bank through his relationship, but for some reason, there was a scene where no one asked. In desperation, he could only urgently contact the Frankfurt headquarters through the relationship in Hong Kong, Germany and China, and only then managed to find a person who could receive him.
Lukas Adenauer looks like he is in his fifties. He looks amiable and has an inexplicable affinity and affection at first glance. Perhaps because of his long-term engagement in public relations, he has a lot of experience in dealing with people. As soon as he came into sight of Zhong Shi and others, he ran over in small steps, stretched out his hands to Zhong Shi with a smile on his face, and kept apologizing, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Zhong, I didn't hear from you before." The news of coming to visit, neglected, neglected."
His attitude extinguished Zhong Shi's dissatisfaction to a certain extent.
"It was our negligence, we didn't notify you before!"
Naturally, Zhong Shi would not lose face to the other party at this time. He immediately expressed that his arrangements were poor, and then said, "This time I came here to discuss important matters with Deutsche Bank. Do you know if the timing is right?"
"I don't know which aspect it is?"
Lucas Adenauer was taken aback for a moment, and then explained, "I am in charge of public relations. If Mr. Zhong wants to discuss business, I can introduce you to the person in charge. But since you are here, Just visit our Deutsche Bank first, don’t worry about business matters, there will always be time.”
"That's true!"
Zhong Shi laughed, and then, under the guidance of the other party, walked into the headquarters of Deutsche Bank.
Jiang Shan and Ivana also entered immediately, but at the moment they crossed the checkpoint, Ivana glanced at the place where the security guard was, obviously still worried about what was blocked just now .
Like most banks in the world, the decoration of the headquarters of Deutsche Bank is extremely luxurious, but in this luxury, there are few purely decorative items, practicality and luxury are well combined, and the details reflect the German style. Rigorous and pragmatic character.
"Mr. Zhong, can you tell me now, what kind of business are you talking about?"
After looking around for a while, Lucas Adenauer led Zhong Shi to a VIP meeting room. After the two parties sat down, he asked, "If there is time, I can help you now. You arrange for relevant people to negotiate."
So far, he has been very enthusiastic, and he has no intention of snubbing Zhongshi at all. Zhong Shi was aggrieved by the cold reception earlier, and has almost completely disappeared.
"This is the case!"
Zhong Shi pondered for a while, and then said, "Our fund recently discovered an interesting phenomenon in London. Some traders conspired to try to manipulate the interest rate of LIBOR. Fortunately, this situation was discovered by us. Although so far So far, we have not been able to determine whether Deutsche Bank is involved, but we are here this time to remind your company that if there is a relevant situation, please prepare early."
"What... what does this mean?"
After all, he is not a business person. Lucas Adenauer did not understand what Zhong Shi said, but he did hear the word "manipulation", and his face turned pale immediately, "What the **** is going on? What's going on? Mr. Zhong, I want to know what will happen if this matter is exposed?"
From his professional point of view, if the matter is exposed, it may have an impact on Deutsche Bank's reputation. So his first reaction was how to reduce the negative impact of this incident as much as possible.
"Nonsense!"
Just when Zhong Shi was about to explain to him in detail, the door of the meeting room was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and then a figure walked in, and the first sentence criticized Zhong Shi unceremoniously, "Don't scare me here Already!"
Zhong Shi's eyes narrowed immediately.
"Chairman!"
After seeing the person coming, Lucas Adenauer hurriedly stood up, said respectfully, then seemed to think of something, pointed to Zhong Shi and introduced, "This is Zhong Shi, from Hong Kong, who runs A hedge fund called Tianyu Fund."
The person who came was Joseph Ackerman, the current chairman of the board of directors of Deutsche Bank.
This 68-year-old man is not at all recognizable as an old man in his seventies except for his half-white hair. He has a burly figure, and no change in his figure can be seen under the elegant suit. He is obviously well-maintained. There are few wrinkles on the smooth face, the skin is tight, and the eyes are sharp. From the face, it looks more like a middle-aged man in the prime of his forties.
"I know who he is!"
Joseph Ackerman waved his hand indifferently, and said to Lucas Adenauer, "You have nothing to do here, you go out first!"
Although he really wanted to know the follow-up, Lucas Adenauer didn't dare to disobey the other party's order. After casting a sorry look at Zhong Shi, he left angrily.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
After staring at Zhong Shi and the others with sharp eyes, Joseph Ackerman sat down in the middle of the table, and after playing with his fingers, he said coldly, "As the saying goes, nothing goes wrong. Three Treasures Hall. Since Mr. Zhong became famous, it is the first time to visit us at Deutsche Bank. Although we have already had business contacts between us, this visit in person this time still makes us feel extra pleasantly surprised. "
He bit the word "surprise" very hard, obviously meaning something.
"Why, Mr. Ackerman thinks I have other purposes?"
Ivana next to her was about to have a seizure. Zhong Shi subconsciously patted her hand, signaling to be calm, and then said lightly, "Why do you have such thoughts? Also, for what I just said I don’t know what Mr. Ackerman thinks about what you said?”
"LIBOR manipulation?"
With a sneer, Joseph Ackerman replied, "This is complete nonsense. I don't think our German traders will do such a thing. Also, even if we do it, this matter I'm afraid it's not your turn to intervene, right?"
"He kindly reminded us, who would believe this kind of thing?"
The corners of his mouth were raised, with a completely disdainful look, "Assuming the whole thing is true and it really fell into your hands, I think according to your style, you will never take the initiative to give us a reminder Right. So I think you must have another purpose for coming here this time. Is that the case, Mr. Zhong?"
I don't know why, but Joseph Ackerman is full of inexplicable hostility towards Zhongshi.
"So you deliberately ignored our request, and even planned to shut us down?"
Zhong Shi smiled instead of anger, and his voice was unusually calm, "I understand why everything happened before. It turned out that you had arranged it a long time ago. I thought it was because my subordinates were negligent in their work. Looking at it now Come on, I blame the wrong person!"
"Deutsche Bank does not welcome people with ulterior motives!"
Joseph Ackerman didn't mean to deny it at all, and admitted directly, "If it is a business partner, we welcome it very much. But if some people want to obtain some benefits from Deutsche Bank through some fabricated news , then he really made a wrong calculation, you must know that we are not a role to be manipulated by others."
"It seems that Mr. Ackerman doesn't quite believe what I said!"
At this time, Zhong Shi was already on the verge of being out of control. But he knew very well that tearing face off with others at this time would not help at all, but would put him in a very embarrassing situation. There is another saying that is good, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. He can only endure the current humiliation, "And you still doubt my intentions. To be honest, if you do this, aren't you afraid of offending me?"
Ivana and Jiang Shan were overwhelmed by the conversation. They had no idea why the conversation suddenly became what it is now. Ivana was better, but Jiang Shan was as angry as Zhong Shi, and his eyes almost burst into flames when he looked at Joseph Ackerman.
"Hey hey hey, you are just a fund with hundreds of billions of dollars!"
Hearing Zhong Shi's words, Joseph Ackerman smiled contemptuously and said, "I would like to see how you plan to retaliate against me for my attitude today? Are you shorting Deutsche Bank, or are you planning to buy our equity? Enter the board and remove me as the chairman?"
"I am looking forward to your actions!"
As if it was not enough to stimulate Zhong Shi, he continued to add, "I didn't intend to let you in, but I already made you quit. Who knew that you would come in again without changing your mind. I have no choice but to let you in." I have personally dealt with this matter. Now I will tell you categorically that not only me, but also the high-level Germans do not welcome you."
"Damn, do you know what you're talking about?"
At this time, Ivana couldn't bear it anymore, and she jumped up and said, "We kindly remind you, but we have such an attitude? Very good, very good, I saw how Deutsche Bank does things today. Now I There is only one question, and that is where did we offend you in exchange for this kind of treatment?"
This question is not limited to Ivana, Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan also have this question in their hearts.
"Jamie Dimon and I are friends, very good friends!"
Joseph Ackerman pursed his lips, shrugged, and replied, "But I warn you, this is not JP Morgan, we will not succumb to hedge funds, and we will not succumb to any demons. So if you want to play those shady People's tricks, leave as soon as possible!"
"let's go!"
Taking a deep look at the other party, Zhong Shi stood up and walked outside without looking back.
