Chapter 611 Being a Meat Eater
$17.5 billion is to the financial world, just like snow huā beef to the barbecue world, is definitely the product of drooling at a glance. Whether it is the manager of an investment bank or the owner of a fund company, just thinking about the moment when you put it in your pocket, you will be restless, red and full of water.
After a short period of silence, the snowy invitation was sent to the Pan-Asia Fund.
The large number and wide range forced Sioux City and Shulan, who were still hanging out on Regent Street and Oxford Street, to rush back to the Kangle Building.
"Souston, the invitations have been sorted out in different categories, and the most important ones are in the box of your desk." Li Shirong and Yang Ming came to the gate to pick up Sucheng together.
Li Shirong is the second-in-command of the Information Bureau, that is, Dong Feng's deputy. However, his work direction has become increasingly confidential, and Li Shirong ranks first in the list of the hidden legendary Dahua Secrecy Bureau.
However, Li Shirong, who has always been calm, looks like he wants to stop talking today.
Su Cheng took Shu Lan to the elevator and said with a smile, "If you have anything, just say it."
"Yes" Li Shirong stood at the nearest door with his head down, turned around slightly and said, "I made sure that neither our Dahua Industry nor the other six enterprises have announced the address or contact information of the fund. No director, including the Kangle family, has taken the initiative to provide the address and contact information of the Pan-Asian Fund. So the invitations we receive can only be attributed to the other party's intelligence ability.
The Pan-Asian Fund is originally the most private offshore fund, and only one administrative mailbox is required at the place of registration. The other six companies and their owners did not have the driving force to leak the information of the Pan-Asian Fund. On the contrary, in order to protect themselves from their incompatibility with insider trading, no one will take the initiative to provide such a message, just to facilitate the sending of invitations.
This is not one or two invitations, but the number of invitations that require two administrative secretaries to be busy for more than an hour.
Su Cheng realized the possibility of information leakage, jumped twice in the corners of his eyes, put away his smile, and asked in a low voice, "Do you mean that our Dahua's secrecy is also leaked like a sieve?"
At this time, as the boss of the company, Su Cheng began to doubt whether Li Shirong was exaggerating and improving the importance of the confidentiality department. It's not like there were only two or three kittens in the information bureau originally used to collect public information. Now the Dahua Information Bureau has more than 100 employees who are responsible for confidentiality work alone. If it comes out alone, it can't be said to be the smallest department of the headquarters. For Dahua, whose management is increasingly stable, it can be said that it Step by step. Li Shirong's mind is also a matter of course.
However, Li Shirong did not seem to mean to raise his own value, or that his shame was more than the complaint against the department. With the sound of the elevator opening, Li Shirong stepped out of the elevator and said seriously, "There is indeed something wrong with our secrecy, but so many financial companies have received information from the company. The main reason is that the information was sold.
"Intelligence trafficker?"
"It can't be said to be an intelligence trafficker." Li Shirong lowered his head and said with a little embarrassment, "It's the takeaway boy of a nearby Chinese restaurant."
"Information sold by the takeaway boy?" Su Cheng couldn't help repeating it.
Since the first invitation was sent, Li Shirong went out to investigate secretly. It is not easy to do a private investigation in the unfamiliar London area. Fortunately, the Information Bureau has a lot of funds. After he applied for fast special funds, it was enough to hire a local detective agency to investigate.
In addition, the simplicity of the case makes people laugh and cry.
Li Shirong pinched the investigation report in his hand, but he didn't have to read it at all, as if recited it. He said helplessly, "We have a large group of Chinese people who went to the Financial City and asked for spicy food to be spicy and sweet. When the takeaway boy came twice, he guessed that a group of Appearance"
After stopping for a moment, Li Shirong shook his head and said, "The Financial City is a big whirlwind. All news is transferred in it, and catering people also know how to sell news for money. As far as I know, he told the news to a consulting company specializing in Asian business and got 100 pounds. The consulting company put the news on the intranet, coupled with some gossip from the Pan-Asian Fund, and finally the case was sorted out. Because there are many companies that want to know about the Pan-Asian Fund, and it is an instant message, the consulting company has expressed its intention to sell to many familiar financial companies, and it is said that it has sold 50 to 60 copies in one go. 3,000 pounds each."
In the intelligence world, three points rely on collection and seven points on analysis. Li Shirong is also a leader. He did not even use the analyst of the headquarters information bureau to string up the lines, and also made a special trip to the consulting company to confirm.
Su Cheng was surprised and suddenly felt a little funny: "A news bought for 100 pounds was sold for fifty or sixty copies for 3,000 pounds. This consulting company has really made a lot of money."
"The way small intelligence companies live." Li Shirong said carefully, "Some companies get news from other companies."
Li Shirong's investigation can explain that the leakage of the company's information is indeed a coincidence, but it will not make Su Cheng happy. He first sent Shu Lan to the room on the same floor to settle down, and then returned to the office to read more than a dozen selected invitations.
Yang Mingqing coughed and said, "The invitation was sorted out by the office. Now, the more important invitations are BP Company, Enron Company of the United States, [Japan] Ito Trading Company, Lehman Brothers Company of the United States, Industrial Bank of France, and Parkson Fund Company and Aruba Investment Company."
BP is a relatively pure petrochemical group. Enron and Ito Trading Company are both energy finance groups. The former focuses on energy and the latter focuses on finance. Lehman Brothers and Industrial Bank are investment banks, while Parkson Fund and Aruba Investment Company are financial speculation crocodiles similar to Soros, which are among the most vicious existences.
The order introduced by Yang Ming is also the order of the crocodiles from the appearance of eating well, which is almost the order of popularity.
However, popularity does not necessarily represent strength. The 1990s was the most chaotic era of financial order. If they can come up with good ideas, investment companies and fund companies can often raise huge funds, such as $17.5 billion**, which is enough to attract hundreds of billions of dollars of floating capital.
Su Cheng compared it in his heart, looked at the invitation sarcastically and said, "It's quite alive."
"Because of the large number of invitations, we chose the local one with more strength, so that if we attend a company's banquet, people from the relevant company can also see it.
"
"Do you think you should meet them?" Su Cheng did not make a decision and asked Yang Ming.
Unlike the original secretary, Yang Ming now begins to play the role of secretary, that is, the chief of staff. Although he cannot have direct contact with practice, it does not prevent his vision from increasing.
Previously, Yang Ming also thought about this problem and immediately said, "BP is a local oil company in the UK, and it is also one of the best in the ranking of enterprises. Although it is not a financial core group company, there is no doubt about their strength in the Caspian Sea region. I think, whether it is taking care of BP's emotions or If you are looking for allies, you should meet them.
He did not analyze the companies one by one, but just said his more positive [answer] case.
Su Cheng nodded slowly and said, "Since the information has been leaked like this, let's meet the representative of BP once."
"Okay, the dinner time starts at 8 p.m. on Wednesday, okay?"
"Let's go at 10 o'clock and inform us in advance that we have a delay."
"Okay." After Yang Ming confirmed it, he made a record in his notebook.
Li Shirong bowed his head again because of Su Cheng's information leak, and immediately said, "Su Dong, I will definitely draw a lesson. I won't let such a thing happen again."
"Just by summarizing the lessons learned, it is difficult to prevent such events from happening." Su Cheng sighed a little and said, "We used to go out with the domestic delegation. Although the internal exposure is the same as the sieve, there will be no such low-level mistakes externally. After all, you are not professional intelligence security personnel, and it is justifiable to make mistakes."
He said the first half of the sentence a little heavy, but the second half of the sentence softened his tone.
Li Shirong couldn't figure out whether it was beating a big stick and then giving a small stick, or Su Cheng's pure emotion, which was a little confused for a while.
Su Cheng shook his head secretly. From a commercial point of view, the impenetrable intelligence confidentiality work is neither affordable nor practical. What really needs to be done should be to increase the cost of intelligence acquisition. If the other party needs to pay hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to get the news from Dahua, they need to be more cautious in their decision to obtain it and the future operation.
Therefore, low-level mistakes are the least common occurrence of commercial secrecy.
However, Dahua Information Bureau is a company department after all. Neither Dong Feng nor Li Shirong has professional intelligence literacy. Su Cheng was deliberately recruiting several former intelligence agency employees, but in 1994, he could only say something obscurely.
Whether Li Shirong can understand it or not, he will not elaborate. The current [China] country does not pay attention to the best use of people, but is more about the rhetoric of "national security".
"Invite Enron and Lehman Brothers." Su Cheng ordered with a little bad taste.
Enron and Lehman Brothers are both pitiful victims of the financial turmoil. Enron died in 2001. Its natural gas bank can be regarded as a major innovation in the energy field and a model for energy finance enterprises. Of course, its accounting fraud methods are also worth learning from listed enterprises in China.
Lehman Brothers died in the 2008 financial crisis and is also one of the representatives of laissez-in risk. For these two companies, Su Cheng is not thinking about how huge their scale is, but how aggressive their style is.
There are countless companies that want to eat the fat meat of the Pan-Asian Fund, but they don't know that Su Cheng is also staring at them.
Short-term futures trading is still essentially a zero-sum game. If someone wins, someone must lose.
Sucheng has prepared 17.5 billion yuan. If you don't want to deliver vegetables, you have to take the initiative to eat meat.
