Chapter 418 Hysteria
Chen Qiaoshan felt that this time he came to Hong Kong for an internship was not a very wise choice. Of course, he would come and he would come. Sooner or later he would leave this, and there was nothing to regret.
The warning of rising to the No. 9 wind ball means that the typhoon is going to continue to strengthen.
The Hong Kong Observatory has issued a black rainstorm warning, and there is no worse weather than this. During this period, no one will choose to go out in this weather unless life is at stake.
Chen Qiaoshan naturally didn't dare to joke about his life, and there was no need to take risks, so he just stayed in the hospital for one night.
"James, how long does it take for the typhoon in Hong Kong to end?"
James shrugged, "No one can tell me this. Sometimes it takes half a day, and it lasts for up to two days. Everything can only be waited for the observatory's notice."
Through the glass curtain wall, Chen Qiaoshan looked out. The sky was like a smashed water tank. The strong wind was pouring down with heavy rain, and the momentum was amazing.
Suddenly, their phones rang at the same time.
Chen Qiaoshan picked it up and saw it and received an internal notice from Goldman Sachs: The Hong Kong Stock Exchange has issued an announcement because the Typhoon No. 8 signal is now taking effect, and the securities and derivatives markets are delaying their opening.
"Shit!" Seeing the notification, James couldn't help but swear.
Chen Qiaoshan asked, "What's wrong?"
"Since the Hong Kong Stock Exchange issued a closing announcement, it should be that the Hong Kong Observatory has a definite news that the typhoon will not pass by tomorrow at noon."
Chen Qiaoshan suddenly realized that he had to secretly admire him. In contrast, the financial market reacted the most quickly.
James was in a flash. Even if the Hong Kong stock market stopped, the securities and futures markets in Japan and Singapore would not be affected, and the work in his hands would not be stopped. However, seeing Chen Qiaoshan frowning, he comforted: "Don't worry, if it rises to the No. 10 Windball, there will be a period of calm, and maybe you will see the sunshine."
The higher the number, the stronger the typhoon wind power. Primary and secondary schools in Hong Kong above No. 3 can arrange classes to be suspended by themselves. No. 8 Fengqiu is on holiday in Hong Kong, but No. 10 is an exception.
The so-called No. 10 wind ball, which is the eye of a typhoon, is in it, and there is not even a trace of wind. It is a rare intermission period in a storm.
Very bored, James changed the topic, "Chan, are you leaving Hong Kong?"
"I can't leave for the time being, I have to stay for a while."
"Prepare to take a vacation here? This is a good idea!" James said to himself. In addition to typhoon season, Hong Kong Island is indeed a good place to relax, and once ranked among the best livable cities in the world. Of course, this is for the rich.
40% of Hong Kong's area is allocated to country parks, seriously compressing residential land, which also leads to serious cramped living.
I haven't been to Hong Kong before, so I really can't understand what a small apartment is.
House types of more than 20 square meters are very common. As for subdivided flats, cage houses have created a large number of "cage residents", which is also the real existence of the lower level of Hong Kong.
"I also hope to take a vacation, but unfortunately I don't have so much free time." It's certain that I resigned, but Chen Qiaoshan couldn't leave for the time being.
James glanced at Chen Qiaoshan, "Then what are your plans?"
Chen Qiaoshan thought about it and there was nothing to hide, "I'm going to do some financial investment."
James was stunned for a moment, but he quickly realized that it was a financial port after all. He smiled and said, "We are the most professional private wealth management team in Asia, and we can cooperate."
During the financial crisis in 2009, Goldman Sachs was forced to become a bank holding company. Before that, Goldman Sachs was definitely the world's largest investment bank. Whether it is in terms of experience, market analysis and professionalism, Goldman Sachs is a top presence.
Although it was a joke, James still had this pride as a member of Goldman Sachs.
Chen Qiaoshan was very helpless. He was willing to choose Goldman Sachs. The problem was that his own conditions were far from meeting Goldman Sachs' requirements.
"James, I have some funds and want to find a private bank. What advice do you have?"
"What is the specific scale?"
Chen Qiaoshan smiled bitterly in his heart. Not everyone can use the words "two million US dollars, and eight hundred thousand US dollars are equivalent to RMB."
"Chan, your wealth is really rich." James thought it was a joke at first, but now he has to face it. He has more than 20 million yuan. As a financial person, he is very clear about the purchasing power of this money.
"Is this fund your own assets?"
Chen Qiaoshan smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, there is no such thing as tracing the source of funds in the account opening regulations?"
"There are still necessary background checks." James was not easy to meet, but he did not expect Chen Qiaoshan to answer.
The Chinese people pay attention to wealth and do not reveal themselves. At first, it was difficult for him to understand. As he contacted more, he gradually understood the tricks.
"UBS." James suddenly gave the answer.
Chen Qiaoshan asked subconsciously: "Why?"
James smiled and said, "Because UBS does not require real-name registration, and it has the strictest user privacy protection."
Chen Qiaoshan rolled his eyes, spread his hands and said, "James, mine is not black money, and I don't need to hide my wealth."
"OK, Chen, I understand." James also knew the limits of jokes. "I have a friend at UBS, who is very suitable for being your personal consultant and can also save you a considerable commission."
Chen Qiaoshan said angrily: "James, I'm not a financial idiot. UBS does have a 1.9% management fee in Asia, but Hong Kong is an exception."
James shook his head helplessly, "Chen, I'm very curious, how did you get your financial skills? The difference between Wang and you is too big."
James did not hide his curiosity at all. The last interview gave him a big surprise. In comparison, Wang Feng, who is also an intern, is much inferior.
A young man who entered Goldman Sachs for internship through a special channel naturally had an extraordinary background and had such strong financial capabilities that others could not be confused.
The questions will never be explained. Chen Qiaoshan has become accustomed to the questioning eyes. He smiled and said, "This is not important. What matters is where I should put this money, right?"
James felt a sense of frustration, "Okay, I won't ask anymore, I'll contact UBS tomorrow, remember, Chen, you owe me a favor."
"James, I think you got it wrong." Chen Qiaoshan retorted: "I am the buyer now. With such a large amount of funds, I believe your friend can get a large transaction commission in the future."
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't stay in Hong Kong all the time. He wanted to make a fortune from futures trade. He needed a financial team composed of investment consultants, product managers, taxation and law professionals, and only private banks could meet his requirements.
With Chen Qiaoshan alone, he can't even open a bank account.
"Chen Qiaoshan?"
The two were talking about the client when they were suddenly interrupted.
Chen Qiaoshan looked back and saw that at some point, Chen Guo came over wrapped in a suit jacket. The jacket was a bit big, which made her look a little weak.
Chen Qiaoshan asked, "Why are you here?"
James glanced at Chen Guo in confusion, "Chen, won't you introduce it?"
"This is Miss Yu's friend, Chen Guo." Chen Qiaoshan said, and after thinking about it, he reminded him again: "James, I have to remind you that Miss Yu's guardian left without authorization. This is not a good thing. Mr. Yu is very angry. You have to be mentally prepared."
"Shit!" James couldn't help but swear again. Minors must be equipped with British guardians when they go to private schools in the UK. He introduced the most professional guardianship agency for this purpose, but he did not expect such a big mistake.
Chen Guo was startled and hurriedly leaned against Chen Qiaoshan, far away from James.
Chen Qiaoshan looked at his watch and the operation has been going on forty minutes so far.
According to the previous doctor's instructions, a simple appendix surgery can be completed in half an hour. Now it seems that the problem should be serious. He looked at Chen Guo and saw that she looked depressed, and couldn't help but say, "James, find a place for Miss Chen first."
"No problem, Miss Yu's ward is in Xiuqun's suite on the 37th floor, with a escort room inside. You can send Ms. Chen to rest first. I'll just watch here."
Chen Guo quickly refused and said, "I won't go, I'll wait for Xiaowan to come out."
In the middle of the night, a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl was exhausted after all this.
Chen Qiaoshan couldn't help but persuaded: "I don't know how long the operation will take. I'll send you up to rest first. You will be energetic to take care of Miss Yu tomorrow morning."
After all, Chen Qiaoshan was convinced, and Chen Guo followed him upstairs obediently.
Chen Qiaoshan once again saw the luxury of a private hospital. The mountain view ward has a private bathroom, a spacious living room, an open kitchen with a 200L Samsung refrigerator and microwave. Even the accompanying rooms are luxurious large beds and bathrooms, which are much better than a five-star hotel-style apartment.
"It's getting late, go to bed early!"
Chen Guo glanced at Chen Qiaoshan and asked pitifully: "What about you?"
"I'm just watching TV in the living room. You can sleep with confidence. Miss Yu will also come after the operation." Chen Qiaoshan had three sisters, so he could see through her thoughts at first sight. The room was very luxurious, but in such a big place and a strange environment, a girl naturally couldn't feel at ease.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Chen Guo agreed.
Turn on the TV and lying on the sofa in the living room, Chen Qiaoshan was not sleepy at all.
Zhou Zhengning promised to transfer funds within a week, and before that, he had to complete the preparations.
James' suggestions can be considered. Opening an account at UBS is not a bad idea. In addition, he has to get some information before leaving Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs’ clients include not only listed companies, institutional investors, private high net worth clients, but also sovereign states such as Greece.
As early as 2001, under the commission of the Greek government, Goldman Sachs designed a set of currency swap transactions, which concealed a huge amount of public debt for the Greek government, making it meet the standards of EU member states on the books.
Things will naturally not be that simple. This transaction made Goldman Sachs a big profit and also laid the root of the European debt crisis.
After all, after walking in Goldman Sachs, Chen Qiaoshan naturally refused to go back empty-handed.
Just so happened that he had seen the ins and outs of the European debt crisis, and it was too easy to make a fuss.
Chen Qiaoshan knows the principle of preparing for the future. He can use an economics paper to fool him in his freshman year, and he can also think about it in his sophomore year.
Of course, the difficulty must be increased. This time, Chen Qiaoshan is no longer limited to the country.
His goal is very clear and he can test the top international economic journals.
He had thought about the topic, "On How Goldman Sachs destroyed the Greek economy", perhaps it would be more appropriate to "On How Goldman Sachs brought the EU into crisis".
After a slight hysteria, she finally couldn't resist her sleepiness. Chen Qiaoshan fell asleep in a daze.
