Chapter 611: Do Meat Eaters
$17.5 billion is to the financial world, just like snowflake beef in the barbecue world, it is definitely the product of drooling when you look at it. Whether it is the manager of an investment bank or the boss of a fund company, just thinking about the moment you put it in your pocket will make you restless, red and watery.
After a brief period of silence, the invitation like snowflakes was sent to the Pan Asia Fund.
The number and scope of the population forced Sucheng and Shulan, who were still wandering on Regent Street and Oxford Street, to hurry back to the Kangle Building.
"Dr. Su, the invitations have been sorted out in different categories. It is more important to be in the box of your desk." Li Shirong and Yang Ming came to the gate to pick up Su Cheng.
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. On the list of the vaguely legendary Dahua Secret Service, Li Shirong ranks first.
However, Li Shirong, who has always been calm, looks like he wants to speak but stops today.
Su Cheng took Shu Lan to the elevator and smiled and said, "Just say anything."
"Yes..." Li Shirong stood nearest to the door with his head down, turned slightly, and said embarrassedly: "I made sure that neither our Dahua Industry nor the other six companies have announced the fund's address or contact information. No director, including the Kangle family, has taken the initiative to provide the Pan Asia Fund's address and contact information. So... the invitations we received can only be attributed to the other party's intelligence capabilities."
Pan Asia Fund was originally the most private offshore fund, and the registration place only requires an administrative email address. The other six companies and their owners did not have the driving force to leak information about Pan Asia Fund. On the contrary, in order to protect their irrelevance to insider transactions, no one will take the initiative to provide such a message just to facilitate the sending of invitations.
This is not just one or two invitations, but the number of invitations that require two administrative secretaries to be busy for more than an hour before they can sort out clearly.
Su Cheng realized the possibility of intelligence leakage, his eyes twitched twice, put away his smile, and asked in a deep voice: "What do you mean is that our Dahua secrets are leaking like sieve?"
At this time, as the company's boss, Su Cheng began to doubt whether Li Shirong was exaggerating and used it to increase the importance of the confidentiality department. Unlike the Information Bureau, which was originally used to collect public information, only two or three kittens, now the Dahua Information Bureau has more than 100 employees in charge of confidentiality work. If the single is released, it cannot be said that it is the smallest department in the headquarters. For Dahua, which is increasingly stable in management, it can be said that it has been a step forward from the second-in-command of the department to the department director. It is natural for Li Shirong to have thoughts.
However, Li Shirong did not seem to be trying to raise his own value, or in other words, the shame he showed was better than the accusation of the department. With the sound of the elevator opening, Li Shirong stepped out of the elevator and said seriously: "We have indeed had problems with our confidentiality, but so many financial companies have received information from the company, mainly because the information was sold."
"Intelligence dealer?"
"It can't be said to be an intelligence dealer." Li Shirong lowered his head and said a little embarrassedly: "It's the takeaway guy from a nearby Chinese restaurant."
"Information of the takeaway boy's sale?" Su Cheng couldn't help but repeat.
Since the first invitation was delivered, Li Shirong went out to investigate secretly. It was not easy to conduct private investigations in London, where he was unfamiliar with his life. Fortunately, the Information Bureau has a lot of funds. After he applied for a quick special fund, it was enough to hire a local detective agency to conduct an investigation.
In addition, the simple case is also ridiculous.
Li Shirong held the investigation report in his hand, but he didn't have to look at it at all. He said helplessly: "A large group of Chinese people arrived in the Financial City. When they ordered Chinese food, they asked to be spicy and numb but sweet. The takeaway boy came twice and guessed that a group of Chinese people lived in Kangle Building, although they didn't see us..."
After pausing for a while, Li Shirong shook his head and said, "The Financial City is a big whirlpool. All the news is transferred. Catering people 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 into the intranet, and with some pan-Asian fund rumor, the final answer was sorted out. Because there are many companies who want to know about Pan-Asian fund and it is instant messages, the consulting company expressed its intention to sell to many familiar financial companies. It is said that they sold fifty or sixty copies at one time. Each copy was 3,000 pounds."
In the world of intelligence, three points rely on collection and seven points rely on analysis. Li Shirong is also a leader in all kinds of things. He didn't even use an analyst from the headquarters Information Bureau, but he stringed the lines himself and went to the consulting company to confirm.
Su Cheng was surprised and suddenly felt a little funny: "A piece of news bought for 100 pounds was sold for fifty or sixty for 3,000 pounds. This consulting company really made a lot of money."
"The way small intelligence companies survive." Li Shirong said carefully: "Some companies also get news from other companies."
Li Shirong's investigation can explain that there is indeed a coincidence in the leakage of company information, but it will not make Su Cheng happy.
He first sent Shu Lan to a room on the same floor to settle down, then returned to the office and read more than a dozen selected invitations.
Yang Mingqing coughed and said, "The invitation letter was organized by the office. Now, the more important invitations include BP, Enron, Japan Ito Trading Company, Lehman Brothers, Societe Generale, Parkson Fund and Aruba Investment Company."
BP is a relatively pure petrochemical group. Enron and Ito Trading Company belong to 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, and are the most evil existences.
The order introduced by Yang Ming is also the order of the bigwigs from the perspective of eating good food and ugly food, and it is almost the order of popularity.
However, popularity does not necessarily represent strength. The 1990s were the most chaotic era of financial order. If good ideas were produced, investment companies and fund companies could often raise huge amounts of funds, such as the temptation of $17.5 billion, which was enough to attract hundreds of billions of dollars of hot money.
Su Cheng compared his heart and looked at the invitation sarcastically, saying, "It's quite alive."
"Because there are many invitations, we chose local people with more strength. In this way, if we attend a banquet in a company, people from the relevant company can also see it."
"Do you think you should go to see them?" Su Cheng did not make a decision and asked Yang Ming back.
Unlike his original secretary, Yang Ming has now begun to play the role of a secretary, that is, the chief of staff. Although he cannot directly access practice, it does not hinder his horizons from increasing.
Previously, Yang Ming also thought about this issue and immediately said: "BP is a local oil company in the UK and is one of the best in the enterprise rankings. Although it is not a group company with the core financial resources, their strength in the Caspian Sea area is unquestionable. I think that whether it is taking care of BP's emotions or seeking allies, we should meet them."
He did not analyze each company one by one, but just expressed his more affirmative answer.
Su Cheng nodded slowly and said, "Since all the information has been leaked so much, let's see BP's representative once."
"Okay, the dinner time starts at 8pm on Wednesday, is that OK?"
"We'll go again at 10 o'clock and let us know in advance, we've been delayed."
"Okay." After Yang Ming made a record, he made a record in the notebook.
Li Shirong bowed his head again because of the leak of Sucheng's intelligence, and immediately said: "Dr. Su, I will definitely learn from my lesson and will not let such a thing happen again."
"It is hard to prevent such incidents from happening just by summing up your experiences and lessons." Su Cheng sighed a little, "We used to go out with domestic delegations. Although we were exposed internally and sieves, we would not make such low-level mistakes to the outside world. After all, you are not professional intelligence security personnel, and it is understandable that there are mistakes."
He said the first half of the sentence a little heavier, but the second half softened his tone.
Li Shirong couldn't guess whether it was a big stick and a small stick, or Su Cheng's pure emotion, and he was a little confused for a moment.
Su Cheng shook his head secretly. From a commercial perspective, airtight 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 in order to get the news from Dahua, then they need to be more cautious when deciding to obtain and obtain the future operations.
Therefore, low-level mistakes are the least important thing for commercial confidentiality.
However, Dahua Information Bureau is a company department after all, and neither Dong Feng nor Li Shirong have professional intelligence literacy. Su Cheng was willing to recruit several former intelligence agencies, but in 1994, he could only point out a sentence in a vague way.
Regardless of whether Li Shirong can understand it or not, he will not explain it in detail. Today, China does not pay attention to the full use of people, but is more about the rhetoric of "national security".
"Invite Anran and Lehman Brothers." Su Cheng gave a bad command.
Enron and Lehman Brothers are both unpleasant victims of the financial crisis. Enron died in 2001. Its natural gas bank is a major pioneer in the energy field and a model work for energy finance companies. Of course, its accounting fraud methods are also worth learning from by listed Chinese companies.
Lehman Brothers died in the 2008 financial crisis, and was also one of the representatives of letting risks. For these two companies, Sucheng was not thinking about how large it is, but how aggressive its style is.
Countless companies want to eat the fat piece of Pan Asia Fund, but they don’t know that Su Cheng is also staring at them.
Short-term futures trading is essentially a zero-sum game. Someone wins and some people have to lose.
Sucheng has prepared 17.5 billion yuan. If he doesn't want to deliver vegetables, he has to take the initiative to eat meat.
