Chapter 697: Urgent, Urgent (Two in One)

Zhou Kaixuan's sudden attack was beyond Fang Zhuo's expectation.

He was a little confused whether this person was firing on behalf of Li Jiacheng. After all, she was not only the director of Li Fund, but also his confidante.

If she really represented Li Jiacheng, then... that would be a bit disappointing.

In Fang Zhuo's mind, Li Jiacheng would have a perfect skill in nourishing qi. How could he be broken because of an investment business?

Yes, although there are some frictions in the real estate market in Shencheng, but that is all in the past. The victory and defeat have been determined, and both sides should laugh it off.

Yes, although there are some rumors of nodding or not nodding in East China, no one will really believe such rumors, right?

Yes, if it were me, I would definitely not be able to bear it.

But you are Li Jiacheng, you are not Xiong Xiaoge, Zhang Hongli, Da Huangzong and the like!

In this case, it can almost be concluded that Zhou Kaixuan is walking alone!

"Boss Fang, I saw the online news of China Securities News. How are you going to deal with this?"

The news spread quickly, and even Su Wei, who was in charge of Shanghai, called him soon.

Fang Zhuo did not answer immediately, but asked: "Where are you?"

"In the office on the 22nd floor." Su Wei felt puzzled.

"Go to the president's office upstairs." Fang Zhuo said seriously.

Su Wei was even more puzzled, but she still went upstairs.

When she walked into the president's office of Hang Lung 23, she saw four big words on the wall shining brightly as soon as she entered the door - be kind to others!

She held her mobile phone and said with a smile: "It seems that you are really not in a hurry, and you are still thinking about this."

"What's there to be anxious about? I didn't change my face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of me, and I was named by the triumphant return and I was kind to others." Fang Zhuo smiled, "It can be regarded as stealing someone's business. It's normal to vent your emotions. Let's wait and see what happens."

Su Wei stared at the inscription in the president's office and nodded.

However, while Fang Zhuo sincerely expressed her attitude of "being kind to others", Zhou Kaixuan was not idle.

After accepting the interview with "Huaxia Securities News", she actually accepted another interview with reporters, and once again talked about the issue of strategic investment by Bank of China, the private placement nature of MIGA Fund, and once again mentioned Fang Zhuo's name.

Zhou Kaixuan has always been quite capable. He has managed many projects and is actually in charge of TOM.com. Now he is fearless and wants to make things bigger.

Li Jiacheng still did not show up to express his attitude. Seeing this situation, Fang Zhuo, although he suspected that Ms. Zhou would no longer act alone, still maintained patience and wanted to see how the situation would develop.

However, Fang Zhuo wanted to use static to control dynamics, but other people involved in the cooperation could not sit still.

What does this Zhou mean?

What does the Li mean?

They didn't think so much, or rather, they still thought they needed to stand up and clear Fang's name, even if the other party might be the richest Chinese behind him, but even if he wanted to crash the market, he would have to rush up and slap him twice.

Interests, interests!

If you, Zhou or Li, want to touch Fang at this time, you are making things difficult for me!

First, President Li, the head of the Bank of China, who loves his job and presides over the work despite being ill, stood up to respond.

He was shocked and angry after hearing Zhou Kaixuan's criticism of Fang, MIGA Fund, and Bank of China. Seeing that the mess in front of him has been gradually turned around, why did Zhou Kaixuan come out to make trouble?

President Li found a familiar media and spoke to Zhou Kaixuan on behalf of the parties concerned: "Ms. Zhou, please explain the cooperation between the Li Foundation and the Royal Bank of Scotland before criticizing the MIGA Fund!"

"BOC previously only cooperated with the Royal Bank of Scotland and never, never cooperated with the Li Jiacheng Foundation."

"We at the Bank of China do not know the nature of the Li Jiacheng Foundation, how it signed a contract with the British bank, and why Ms. Zhou jumped out and spoke out immediately after the regulator stopped the cooperation!"

He reiterated the standards of the Bank of China: "After going through Temasek and Royal Bank of Scotland, the Bank of China will only be more cautious and strict in treating strategic cooperation, and will carefully select partners to move forward together. I and the Bank of China are willing to accept supervision from all sectors of society!"

"We will neither favor any potential partner nor abolish our standards because of a few words from Ms. Zhou. Please take care of yourself, Ms. Zhou Kaixuan, the director of the Li Jiacheng Foundation!"

President Li's words are harsh and his attitude is firm.

……

The second is Paulson, the head of Goldman Sachs who has cooperated with Mr. Fang for many years and has responded.

He came to Huaxia this time to finalize the cooperation with ICBC and to collect the results of Bank of China.

Although the two hedge funds were secretly driven by Paulson, he was shocked to see the suspension of Huaxia's regulatory level. He felt that it was not successful until the last step.

Therefore, when Paulson saw Zhou Kaixuan suddenly jump out, he was afraid that this woman would do something bad and cause a chain reaction of supervision. He immediately found the media on Wall Street and kept the interviews in Chinese and English online simultaneously.

"I saw the attack from the competitor and the MIGA fund."

"Obviously, this is a deliberate confusion."

"As a director of a well-known foundation, how could Ms. Zhou not tell the difference between hedge funds and private equity funds?"

"Mr. Fang and his company have always been high-quality partners of Goldman Sachs. I admire Mr. Fang very much. He has excellent business capabilities and a keen sense of the market. He is not only accomplished in the Internet, but also studied a lot in semiconductors. deep."

"I don't think Mr. Fang should be allowed to suffer inexplicable infamy."

"I also think that Ms. Zhou should probably focus on her TOM Network, and hope that Goldman Sachs will one day become TOM Network's IPO partner."

Paulson praised Mr. Fang and naturally mentioned TOM.com, which had suspended its listing.

…

Then Hu Zuliu, an eloquent and well-paid economist, took the initiative to accept an interview with the China Securities Journal.

As the former chief economist of the World Economic Forum in Davos and a former member of the International Monetary Fund, he specifically commented on the failure of the cooperation between the Bank of China and the Royal Bank of Scotland.

"The Royal Bank of Scotland won the cooperation with the Bank of China, and it should be held responsible for this."

"As a well-known commercial bank in Europe, it watched helplessly as Merrill Lynch distributed its investment in Bank of China to two hedge funds. This is extremely against the industry's tacit understanding and should be condemned."

"People in the industry should know how humiliating it is for hedge funds to suddenly become shareholders before a bank's IPO."

“When we look at past financial crises, we often see hedge funds charging into the fray.”

"The suspension of cooperation with such a highly speculative fund is undoubtedly due to financial security considerations. It is not a matter of one bank, but a symbolic event for the entire Chinese financial market."

"As for the Lijiacheng Foundation, it is said that it does not cooperate directly with Bank of China, so it is a fish in the pond."

"Objectively speaking, even if we cannot provide direct business cooperation with well-known banks like Deutsche Bank, we should actively look for partners that are beneficial to local banks like the MIGA Fund."

"I have not seen similar efforts by the Lijiacheng Foundation from the information disclosed so far."

“Cooperation with banks cannot be measured solely in terms of capital.”

"MIGA funds are doing well."

"I am not familiar with Ms. Zhou. I have only seen her give two media interviews and the accusations are biased at the very least."

Hu Zuliu talked about financial security objectively and fairly.

…

Then, Sina Finance, who knew that his boss would rather attend networking events with colleagues than visit the company, wrote an article directly, describing the causes and consequences of this incident. By the way, he also talked about why Zhou Kaixuan's TOM website failed to go public.

In addition, the manuscript also slightly touches on the issue of Lijia Real Estate’s undiscussed market cover in the Mainland.

"The Bank of China is the victim of this incident. If there is no supervision to stop it, it is likely to suffer a dumb loss."

“The Royal Bank of Scotland did not conduct strict screening when raising funds, nor did it conduct due diligence to define the behavior of its collaborators. This is the core reason for this incident. The pursuit of profits by Merrill Lynch at the next level is clearly the result of Ignorance of domestic bank interests.”

"This kind of disregard was met with an unexpected backlash from Merrill Lynch, and Zhou Kaixuan, who came forward, was the party implicated in this backlash."

"It's not surprising that she called out Fang Zhuo because her interests were harmed, and she even called out to more people."

"In fact, it may not be the first time Zhou Kaixuan has had a conflict with Fang Zhuo."

"Zhou Kaixuan has always wanted to be labeled as a strong woman. She seems to not want the world to only remember her as Li Jiacheng's confidante. However, the soul of TOM, which had placed great hopes on her, was cut off from the market."

"Why did TOM fail to go public? This is because its too-single SMS value-added service suffered from industry self-discipline and higher-level supervision, and lost the driving force for its wild growth."

"TOM.com, which is famous for its scale, once announced the goal of becoming the fourth largest portal website, but now it can only struggle with poor transformation."

"It is difficult for Zhou Kaixuan to label herself as a strongman, but she can still rely on Li Jiacheng, a strongman, to launch influential accusations against another business leader."

"What's darkly humorous is that if it weren't for Li Foundation's status as a director, and if it weren't for Li Jiacheng behind her, her words would probably not have made it to the media, let alone reach Fang Zhuo's ears."

"On the one hand, Ms. Zhou wants to get rid of those labels, but on the other hand, she enjoys the wonderful functions of labels with peace of mind."

"Perhaps, Ms. Zhou is a loyal reader of Romain Rolland. She has recognized the truth of life and still loves it."

…

Subsequently, what was unexpected was that Shanghai Pudong Development Bank also came out to support the MIGA fund.

It solemnly stated to the media: "MIGA Fund is the operating entity of the third domestic securities trust plan. Together with Shanghai Pudong Development Bank and Shanghai Trust, it has exploratoryly launched the 'MIGA China Collective Fund Trust Plan'."

"Shanghai Trust is the issuer, Shanghai Pudong Development Bank is the fund custodian, and MIGA Fund is hired by Shanghai Trust to manage the funds. It is the first sunshine private equity company in Shanghai to have regulatory filings."

"So far, the performance of MIGA funds has been excellent and has brought satisfactory returns to customers."

"We hope that the MIGA fund will not be stigmatized, and we also hope that it will continue to shine in the domestic financial market."

Along with the statement of Pudong Development Bank, people like IDG Xiong Xiaoge and Shenxin Kechuang Wang Fengyi also believed that the kind-hearted Mr. Fang should not be smeared and attacked. They either accepted media interviews or spoke out on Sina Blog, without any fear of the title of the richest Chinese.

In just two days, Zhou Kaixuan didn't even hear a word from Fang Zhuo, as if she had experienced a fierce storm.

However, it was not these that really hit her hard.

After the cooperation was stopped, the Royal Bank of Scotland not only made efforts through Li Jiacheng, but also tried other powerful channels to try to get back the fat meat of Bank of China, including but not limited to some administrative exchanges.

In the end, after witnessing the criticism of British banks, Merrill Lynch, Li Fund and Zhou Kaixuan by the public opinion, the leaders of the regulatory level belatedly gave a conclusion again.

- For financial security considerations, the cooperation between Royal Bank of Scotland and Bank of China was stopped.

Concise and unwavering.

This means that the Royal Bank of Scotland, two hedge funds, and Li Jiacheng Foundation are completely out.

The last hope is also completely shattered.

Zhou Kaixuan is looking at Sina Finance on the laptop screen in the hotel, his teeth creaking.

"You have touched the cake of many people. Fang Zhuo has woven a network of interests with many people in the mainland." Li Jiacheng sighed while drinking tea in the living room of the suite.

He acquiesced to Zhou Kaixuan's actions in the media, but the effect was not good.

"This is too much, too much!" Zhou Kaixuan was very angry, "Mr. Li! Fang Zhuo is too arrogant! He not only drives these people to attack me, but also wants to discredit you!"

Li Jiacheng nodded slightly: "This person is indeed arrogant and domineering."

Seeing that Mr. Li also said so, Zhou Kaixuan immediately sat next to him, put his arm around him, and said: "This won't work. I can't allow him to do this to you!"

She asked again: "What should I do? What should I do?"

Li Jiacheng was silent. He was not a god. The situation of Bank of China was set this time. Now it seems that the hedge funds that Merrill Lynch had cooperated with earlier may have been manipulated.

Just as he was thinking, Zhou Kaixuan's cell phone rang.

"Hello, is this Director Zhou? I am a reporter from Sina Finance. Can I interview you?" The caller introduced himself, as if he was from Sina.

Zhou Kaixuan raised her eyebrows, blurting out all the storms and resentment of the past two days: "Fuck you, let Fang have the guts to come to Hong Kong!"

After she said this, she dropped her phone with a "bang".

The Nokia was very sturdy, spinning on the floor.

Li Jiacheng frowned and said nothing, his mood was already chaotic, and it was not appropriate to show up.

Half a day later, Sina Finance published the news online.

——"Ms. Zhou yelled angrily and sincerely invited Mr. Fang to go to Hong Kong"

That night, Sina Finance interviewed the boss again, but also did not get any content, so they had to send a brief message truthfully.

——"Mr. Fang: Go crazy, wait to bury me"
