The Son of Finance of the Great Age - Chapter 1020
Chapter 1020 A blow to the head (2)
“My friends, it’s me!”
After Zhong Shi returned to his residence, he immediately dialed the phone number of the United States and called all the guys who had worked with him before, “Gentlemen, how are you doing recently?”
“Thank God, Mr. Zhong, you finally showed up?”
Paulson’s voice sounded first, and he said exaggeratedly, “I thought you went to Mars, and you have forgotten us old friends?”
Recently, a tech tycoon was experimenting with recyclable rockets, which caused a huge stir in the rich circles in Europe and America. When the money has reached a certain stage, these rich people are no longer satisfied with business success, and they turn their attention to the future of the entire human being. Therefore, when the news of the technology tycoon’s experiment came out, it immediately attracted a lot of investment.
“I would like to go to Mars, but not now.”
Zhong Shi was taken aback for a moment, and then he understood what Paulson meant, and immediately replied with a smile, “Of course, if you want to immigrate to Mars, I would be happy to have an interstellar dialogue with you and listen to your piano sound.” .”
Recently, for some unknown reason, Paulson acquired Steinway & Sons, the world’s number one in the field of piano manufacturing, which also caused quite a stir. Zhong Shi used his own way to counter his own body, and also made fun of Paulson.
“this…”
After hemming and hawing for a while, Paulson finally said, “I think this company is very promising, so I bought this company. But for my piano level, Steinway is too extravagant. “
He is very self-aware.
“What are you up to, Kenneth?”
After teasing Paulson, Zhong Shi asked Griffin again, “Recently, Castle Fund has performed well. It seems that Castle Capital is about to enter the top ten hedge funds in the United States this year.”
“Thanks to Jiang Shan, this guy has done a very beautiful job.”
Griffin said gratefully, “If he hadn’t led us to encircle Deutsche Bank’s derivatives positions, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have had a good year.”
Jiangshan is not fighting alone. In fact, he has joined forces with Paulson, Griffin and several other large hedge funds to attack Deutsche Bank in the market. Of the 20 billion U.S. dollars that Deutsche Bank lost, half of it fell into the account of Tianyu Fund, and most of the rest were divided among these few people.
“If he’s not yours, I’m afraid I’m thinking about poaching him!”
He finally said with emotion, “I need such a talent. I don’t know if Mr. Zhong is willing to part with him. I am willing to give him an annual salary of 20 million, plus a 20% annual dividend.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Before Zhong Shi could make a statement, Paulson taunted the other party, “If you leave the platform of Tianyu Fund, do you think Jiangshan can still perform such magic? If you really make an offer on this condition, I don’t think so.” Before long, you’ll regret the deal.”
“How do you know he won’t be the next legend?”
Not to be outdone, Griffin immediately retorted, “I don’t expect him to be the next Bell Stone, but he might become the next Paulson.”
“Okay, stop arguing.”
Dairio, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, “I think Zhong Shi summoned us because there should be something to discuss, right? Listen to what Mr. Zhong has to say first, and I don’t care how you guys quarrel afterwards.”
“By the way, what happened to Gross?”
Zhong Shi happily listened to the quarrel of several people. It was not until Delio spoke that he realized that there was one person missing on the line. Tell me what’s going on here?”
“…”
Unexpectedly, as soon as he uttered these words, there was a silence on the other end of the phone, and several people stopped talking at the same time.
“Mr. Zhong, you probably don’t know that something happened to Gross.”
After a long while, Paulson said lightly, “Pacific Investment Management Company fired Gross. He has now switched to another small debt fund.”
“what?”
Zhong Shi couldn’t believe his ears, and immediately asked, “If I remember correctly, Gross founded the Pacific Investment Management Company, and he is also the biggest trump card of the entire Pacific Investment Management Company, how could he be kicked out? Woolen cloth?”
Gross has always been on the edge of this combination. Zhong Shi only knows that his company has been caught in internal strife. Who would have thought that Gross would be out of the game in a few months.
“This matter is a bit complicated.”
Paulson sighed, and said in a dejected tone, “To put it simply, his performance is no longer as good as it used to be because of the decline in the yield of the entire debt market. He and the management have conflicts because of this, and other members of the management People want to use huge management funds to carry out business transformation, but Gross does not agree with this transformation. The two forces fought for a long time, and in the end Gross lost and had to leave sadly.”
“So it is.”
Zhong Shi nodded silently, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said lightly, “Since he is not in our circle, it doesn’t matter whether we contact him or not.”
Once he understood the situation, Zhong Shi only felt emotional for a few minutes before decisively choosing to cut with Gross. Although this kind of behavior is very chilling, for these people whose interests are paramount, they don’t seem to feel too much wrong with Zhong Shi’s behavior.
They also know very well that if one day they fail, Zhong Shi will abandon them without hesitation.
“By the way, what is the purpose of Mr. Zhong calling us today?”
Delio spoke again, “I think you should have something very important to say, so don’t bother with Gross anymore. This person is not in the same field as us, and it’s the same with or without him. “
Others also stopped talking tactfully, naturally they had the same thoughts as Delio.
“Before that, I want to ask you a serious question.”
After a moment of silence, Zhong Shi suddenly asked in a serious tone, “Don’t lie to me, this is related to the basis of our cooperation. In the past few months, have you participated in the ranks of shorting RMB?”
As soon as he spoke, the people on the other end of the phone suddenly felt a heavy pressure on their faces, and this pressure made their breaths involuntarily heavy.
They all know that, at least for now, it has always been a taboo for Zhongshi on China’s side. Not only did he not participate in it himself, but he also warned several other people not to participate in it. As for why, they secretly speculated that it was due to Zhong Shi’s patriotic complex.
“I don’t know about others, but at least I haven’t shorted even a penny.”
Paulson was the first to express his opinion, “In addition to being optimistic about the current China’s economy, I also think that the current depreciation will not last long, so I did not participate in it, and I will not think that I can Shake the world’s largest foreign exchange reserves.”
“Your idea is very rational, I am very satisfied.”
Zhong Shi nodded in satisfaction, praised Paulson casually, and then asked, “What about the others?”
“I have not shorted the RMB currency either.”
Griffin followed up and said, “However, I have shorted some euros. The current situation in Europe is not clear. The influx of refugees has made nationalism increasingly high. I am not very optimistic about the prospects of Europe. Another reason is that I don’t want to It is the truth to offend Mr. Zhong.”
“I have entered the Chinese market.”
Delio, who made his final statement, was very straightforward and directly admitted the fact that Bridgewater Fund entered China, but he also explained, “My company is established in a free trade zone, and most of the transactions are for China’s debt market. At the same time, a small part of the positions are invested in those high-quality companies in Huaxia. However, the market in Huaxia is too complicated, and I am not afraid of your jokes. So far, our companies in the Asia-Pacific region have suffered serious losses.”
“By the way, it won’t be connected to my participation in China’s economy, should I take care of that?”
After explaining a lot, Delio realized that Zhongshi didn’t say anything. He couldn’t figure out Zhong Shi’s attitude, and couldn’t help complaining, “Mr. Zhong, I’m participating in China’s economic construction. Could it be that this is not allowed?”
Although he is not very afraid of Zhongshi, he is also afraid of offending Zhongshi. At this time, Delio was in a state of confusion, and he had secretly made up his mind. If Zhong Shi really denied his investment in China, then he would cancel his current office and completely withdraw from the China market.
Anyway, there are plenty of places to make money, so why offend such a murderer as Zhong Shi?
“This is not the scope of my consideration. As long as your behavior is compliant and legal, I think the Huaxia market welcomes everyone.”
Zhong Shi laughed softly, “Don’t be too nervous, I’m just asking casually. The Huaxia market is open to everyone, and I mean the same thing. Since you didn’t short RMB, I am very satisfied with the result, and now I have An opportunity to make money to repay you is to go long the yuan.”
“what?”
“Are you kidding me?”
Hearing Zhong Shi’s words, Griffin and Paulson screamed strangely, and blurted out in unison, “How is this possible?”
“From a fundamental point of view, there is no possibility for the RMB to appreciate.”
Among the few people, only Delio calmly analyzed, “China’s economy has shown signs of slowing down, and they have experienced a stock market crash in the past year, so the future economic growth will not continue to remain above 8%. Under such circumstances, the continued high value of the renminbi is largely due to political pressure, and I think an appropriate devaluation is beneficial to the Chinese economy.”
“But since Mr. Zhong said so, there must be his reason.”
After thinking about it, Delio continued to add, “We want to know the logic of this, so that we can implement whether we want to do more RMB.”
“Because the Huaxia government has decided to use foreign exchange reserves to intervene in the foreign exchange market.”
Zhong Shi snorted coldly, and replied disdainfully, “Now you understand why I asked you to do more RMB. On the one hand, this is a reward for you, so as to give you a little bit of sweetness; on the other hand, it is to let you and Huaxia The central banks have joined forces to combat the shorts that are currently running rampant in the market.”
“This…”
Although it is a bit inappropriate to intervene in the foreign exchange market, everyone keeps silent about it, because this behavior is too common in the international financial market. The question in their hearts at this time is why the Central Bank of Huaxia intervened in the market at this time.
“Although our foreign exchange reserves are the largest in the world, there have been voices of bad-mouthing China’s economy in recent years.”
Zhong Shi explained slowly, “For the Asian currency crisis that occurred in 1997 and 1998, Huaxia’s management has always had a clear understanding. In order to prevent the passing of time, it is necessary for us to take action at this time, and we cannot let the Chinese people accumulate money for decades. The wealth that was raised was ruthlessly taken away by outsiders, the reason is as simple as that.”
“In addition, I will be the main trader in this matter. The time is only these two days, and there is not much time left for you.”
Zhongshi added at the end.
His words were like a heavy bomb, instantly detonating the minds of several people.
“God, wish them luck!”
Paulson muttered to himself.
