Chapter 241 Please ring the bell

In the afternoon, Douglas from Fenghui Bank came to the National Telecommunications Building, and Zhou Ming directly invited him to his office.

"First congratulations to Mr. Zhou Ming for convinced Rakshasa Faisalo that those black companies will no longer retaliate against State Telecom. Secondly, I will also come to hand over the tasks given to me by Mr. Zhou Ming today."

Douglas said and sat in front of Zhou Ming, and took out three checks that had been prepared long ago and placed them in front of Zhou Ming: "I have dealt with all the stocks, these are the results. They are Mr. Zhou Ming, and Mr. Limus and Antonio. Please ask Mr. Zhou Ming to transfer them on your behalf. I won't go twice."

Zhou Ming took the check. This is the shares that Zhou Ming specially handed over to the top ten banks to deal with in order to avoid monopoly and embezzlement of state telecom assets. These shares were collected from which shareholders withdrawn from stockholders, as well as those shares that were redeemed by senior executives of the company. In addition, there are some additional shares of state telecom companies.

"Mr. Douglas is a professional banker. He does things very reliably and does not cause any turmoil in the market, and the increase continues." Zhou Ming said.

But Douglas shook his hand and said no: "This is not my credit, but Mr. Zhou Ming, your ability is to make National Telecom a benchmark in the stock market. As the saying goes, National Telecom's stocks are more reliable than currency, because both pesos and the US dollar fluctuate, but the value of National Telecom's stocks has been increasing."

"Damn it, I think this must be a rumor compiled by those unscrupulous speculators. The purpose is to fool more people into being trapped and they will leave after making a fortune." Zhou Ming said.

Douglas smiled: "I admit that there is a possibility, but this also shows that the market trusts the country telecommunications. It is precisely because of this trust that when I deal with those stocks, I did not cause any trouble in the market. Everything went very smoothly. The price I sold was at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Although it was not the closing price, it was almost the same."

"This is a great thing. If the closing is really coming, maybe before you send me a check, the CSRC will prepare a cup of coffee for you and your lawyer."

Zhou Ming said, then put the check back in front of Douglas and said to him: "But this money is a lot, but now it is not the time for me to accept these. The same Limus and Antonio also agreed that I will temporarily dominate their wealth. If Mr. Douglas has any questions, he can call them here to ask."

Douglas nodded and said of course, and then called Zhou Ming to verify it with Limus and Antonio respectively. This was an attitude of being responsible for both things and for Zhou Ming and himself.

The final result was no problem. Douglas accepted three checks: "I have to say, Mr. Zhou Ming, you are the strangest person I have ever met, because although this money is just a pesos that depreciates, few people can resist the temptation of this money."

Zhou Ming spread his hands: "Maybe I know I can make more money."

If someone else said this in front of Douglas, then Douglas would definitely spit on his face as shameless and make more money. Then can you still live in the bank even more if you have more money? But this person is Zhou Ming, and Douglas believes that what he said is true.

After Zhou Ming explained Douglas' investment channels for the money, Douglas left Zhou Ming's office.

After Douglas, the remaining bankers of Mantis of Citibank and Tang Lianhua of Tangren Bank also came. Just like the first Douglas, they also brought bank checks. Zhou Ming also did not accept any of them, and they also returned the checks to these banks and asked them to make some investments on their behalf.

Of course, some of them were also curious: "Mr. Zhou Ming, please be honest, there is no problem with your investment direction, but in terms of returns, I can recommend better investment projects. I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhou Ming replied: "I believe I will definitely be interested in the future, but this project is the top priority now! And more importantly, if possible, I hope it can be completed before tomorrow."

When these bankers left, it was already dark in Mexico. Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but Carlos suddenly came in to report to Zhou Ming that the chairman of the stock exchange, Cap, called and invited Zhou Ming to eat at Monte Restaurant.

This sudden invitation surprised Zhou Ming, and Zhou Ming asked: "Did he explain the reason?"

Carlos shook his head: "He did not explain the reason, but he told me that the invitation was related to the stock of State Telecom. If you think there is anything wrong with the chairman, I can help you reject him."

"That's not necessary." Zhou Ming said with a smile, "You go and tell him, just say I will definitely arrive on time."

The Mexican Exchange has a board of directors, with thirty directors and one chairman. Although the chairman's power has been greatly downplayed by thirty directors, it is definitely not a wise choice to offend the exchange's chairman when State Telecom is making great progress in the stock market. Of course, there is another more important point, that is, Zhou Ming does not think that an exchange chairman can do anything to himself.

Zhou Ming then left the State Telecom Building and arrived at Monte Restaurant on time. The service soon took Zhou Ming to the private room that Cape had booked early.

When he arrived here, Zhou Ming met Kap, a white man who was not tall, with a little dark skin and a pitiful head.

"Mr. Zhou Ming welcomes you very much!"

Seeing Zhou Ming coming, Cap stood up to greet him enthusiastically, and Zhou Ming also smiled and said hello to him.

After some greetings, Zhou Ming and Kap sat down. Kap asked the waiter to serve the dishes. While eating, he said to Zhou Ming: "State Telecom has been as fierce as a hurricane in the stock market recently. The daily increase can only remind me of tsunamis. This is simply a miracle in the history of Mexican finance!"

"I think there will be more such miracles in the future, but the premise is that the exchange should not artificially put shackles on the market. After all, a truly mature and rational market does not require those restrictions." Zhou Ming said.

When Cap's face froze when he heard this, he laughed: "Mr. Zhou Ming was joking. Of course, we will not set any restrictions on the market. We also believe that a free market is the most suitable."

Zhou Ming smiled and thanked him because he had heard that there might be a limit on the increase of State Telecom, but now it seems that they are still hesitating.

After saying this, Cap said solemnly: "But Mr. Zhou Ming, I invite you out today. The most important thing is that I hope you will go to the exchange tomorrow to ring the bell."

"Ringing the bell? That's really a huge honor!" Zhou Ming said.

For exchanges all over the world, there is a tradition of ringing bells. Of course, this tradition of ringing bells is divided into two categories. One is the listing transactions of listed companies on the exchange, and the company will select people to ring the bell; the other is the bell ringing at the opening and closing of the exchange, announcing the official start of the day's trading. Of course, most invitations are ringing the opening and closing bells, and almost no closing bells are ringing.

No matter which of these two categories is a great honor for the invited bell ringers.

It is precisely for this reason that the bell ringers who are invited are basically politicians. For example, at the opening ceremony of the Nasdaq, a Chinese Consul General was invited to ring the bell.

"It may be a very rare honor for others, but for Mr. Zhou Ming, this is just a matter of course." Cape told Zhou Ming, "Because National Telecom not only created a record of increase, but more importantly, this increase allows the stock market to get rid of the downturn of the financial crisis. This is equivalent to resurrecting the Mexican stock market. In this way, no one except Mr. Zhou Ming, may be able to ring this bell."

"It is also for this reason that I solemnly invite Mr. Zhou Ming to the restaurant for dinner and discuss this. This is the greatest respect for Mr. Zhou Ming." Kap said.

Zhou Ming nodded and asked, "Anyway, I'm fine. It's not a problem to ring the bell. It's just that I don't have the experience of ringing the bell. Is there anything to prepare?"

Kap shook his head: "There is no preparation. As long as Mr. Zhou Ming can arrive half an hour in advance before the stock market opens, we will have staff to contact you at that time."

Zhou Ming nodded to show that he understood.

The meal was quite polite. Half an hour later, Zhou Ming and Cap left the restaurant. Zhou Ming really left, but Cap's car circled around and finally returned to the Monte restaurant. Cap got off the car and went to another private room, and Jefferson was in this private room.

As soon as he entered the door, Jefferson couldn't wait to ask: "Mr. Karp is the chairman of the exchange. I think you must have brought me good news."

"Indeed." Cape sat in front of Jefferson and told him, "I had already talked with Zhou Ming just now. He agreed to attend tomorrow's bell ringing ceremony and would be present half an hour in advance as usual, and did not have any doubts about my words."

Jefferson put down the cup of coffee in his hand and excitedly said, "This is really a great news!"

Then Jefferson waved his hand and signaled that Cap could leave. Cap also stood up and said goodbye very happily. Before leaving the box, he turned around and said, "I don't know why you insisted on asking him to ring the bell, but the exchange is a very sacred place. I hope you don't do too much."

Jefferson grinned and said, "Don't worry, I'll be very gentle."

Cap was hesitant, obviously he didn't believe Jefferson's answer, but he left in the end.

And when Captain left, the smile on Jefferson's face became colder: "Damn guy, tomorrow's bell ringing ceremony is the surprise party I prepared for you. Not only will I kill you, I also want you to be ruined!" 8
