It was six o'clock in the afternoon, it was already dark at this time, and the neon lights were on at night in Barton's Tavern, and Zhou Ming and Brooke were still sitting on the sofa, and they had been sitting here for more than nine hours since the morning.

Sitting here for such a long time, Brooke, who has experience in parliamentary meetings, can't sit still, even though the surroundings are as noisy as a vegetable market, he still yawns one by one, but on the other side Zhou Ming is still motionless, which makes Brooke can't help but feel that being young is good, and his energy is naturally not as good as that of young people when he is older.

Brooke thought that when he was young, he would sit for a day, let alone a day, even if it was two days or three days without blinking, and now that he was almost sixty years old, he would naturally be tired, even if it was just sitting here.

However, when he was young, he didn't have the ability to control the market, at most, he followed other people's butts to pick up bones to eat, but now this Zhou Ming, he not only has the ability to control the CDS market worth more than one billion, but he is still so young, which makes Brooke very jealous, he doesn't understand why such a person can be so young, why everything is good for him alone, it is really envious, jealous and hateful.

Finally, Brooke couldn't help it, and he asked Zhou Ming, "How long do we have to wait?"

Zhou Ming raised his hand to look at his watch, then waved his hand to call the waiter at the tavern and asked him, "How many orders do we have now?"

For this question, the waiter had already been prepared, only to see him take out a document and hand it to Zhou Ming and say: "Mr. Zhou Ming, plus the order that was traded a quarter of an hour ago, you have participated in a total of 40 CDS contracts of 10 million and 100 CDS contracts of 5 million, for which you need to pay a total of 210 million US dollars to complete all transactions, do you need to close today's transaction?"

"I really didn't expect to close a $200 million deal all at once today. Zhou Ming said with some emotion.

Listening to Zhou Ming's words, Brooke and the waiter were very helpless, because the deal of 200 million US dollars did sound very scary, but more importantly, he spent 200 million US dollars to buy more than 900 million US dollars in CDS contracts, which was definitely an extremely lucrative transaction. Now Zhou Ming still said this with emotion, he was simply cheap and obedient, it was really shameless!

"Alright then, that's it for today, I've decided to close the trade for delivery. Zhou Ming made a decision.

"No problem, do you have an appointment with a market broker?" the waiter asked.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said: "No, I am not going to use any indirect trading methods, if I can, I hope to be able to conduct face-to-face transactions." ”

This answer made the waiter feel a little stunned, because almost all the large transactions in the tavern are through the indirect trading mode of the market broker.

This indirect transaction mode is a very special contract delivery method in Barton Tavern, which is delivered through the market broker of the tavern, simply put, the two parties to the transaction put the money and the contract in the tavern, and then the broker hands over to the other party to complete the delivery, so that the direct meeting of the two parties to the transaction can be avoided through the delivery method of the third party, and the concealment of the transaction and the privacy of both parties to the transaction can be guaranteed.

However, there is this third-party delivery model, and there is also a face-to-face transaction mode between buyers and sellers, but it requires the cooperation of buyers and sellers. Since many sellers will name the seller to ensure the quality of the contract when they submit the transaction, they generally have no resistance to face-to-face transactions, as long as the buyer agrees, they can start.

Since Zhou Ming made such a choice, the waiter could only nod and say, "Okay, no problem, I'll arrange the venue for you immediately." ”

Then Zhou Ming and Brooke followed the waiter up to the third floor, there are three very luxurious presidential suites, which are specially designed to receive VIPs in the tavern, and Zhou Ming, who has made a transaction of more than 200 million US dollars at a time, is naturally absolutely qualified to be arranged here.

Zhou Ming and Brooke sat on the sofa, and after a while, the waiter brought a few people in, and the first trading object, Zhou Ming, still had the impression that it was Jamal Jarmal, the chairman of the Caribbean Investment Company who had asked him questions.

Jamal was stunned when he walked into the suite, although he was very skeptical about why someone would be willing to buy those CDS contracts later, but he never imagined that it would be Zhou Ming and Brooke, you must know that they were the first to sell CDS contracts, and this CDS market crash was also their reason, and Bruker Investment Company was not on the verge of bankruptcy? Where did they get the money to buy contracts?

With these doubts, Jamal walked up to Zhou Ming and Brooke and sat down, he looked left and right at the two of them and asked: "It seems that I was deceived by a conspiracy, let me guess, you are deliberately selling the contract today so that the price will fall and then buy the bottom yourself, right? You two liars, your approach makes you not a gentleman at all!"

In this regard, Zhou Ming replied: "Dear Mr. Jamal, if I am not mistaken, when you asked me, I didn't tell you anything, but just made you believe in your own thinking, so this is also a kind of deception?"

The stunned Jamal had nothing to say, so he had to honestly take out his CDS contract and start trading with Zhou Ming in the presence of the tavern market broker, and when the transaction was over, Jamal left Zhou Ming a sentence of 'I hope these contracts will make you money', and then left.

Sent Jamal away, and the second person to come in was Madison, the CEO of Louis Investments, who didn't know Zhou Ming, but he knew Brooke, so like Jamal, Madison was stunned the first time he came in.

Then Madison walked up to Zhou Ming and Brooke and sat down and said loudly: "My first reaction when I first came in was that I was in the wrong room, because you, my Councillor Brooke, aren't your companies already going bankrupt? How can you still have the money to buy it? So I still can't believe that you are actually going to buy my CDS contract, if so, then your previous sell-off behavior that led the entire market is a big conspiracy!"

Brooke clenched his fists, but Zhou Ming asked him to relax, and then Zhou Ming said, "This is Mr. Madison, right? I'm curious about the question, that is, do the current idiots also need others to be responsible?"

Only then did Madison notice Zhou Ming beside Brooke, and he looked Zhou Ming up and down a few times and said, "You are the Chinese who took over Brooke Investment, right?" I'm sorry I don't understand what you're talking about. ”

"It's very simple, me and Brooke, we never deliberately tried to drive anything, we just thought it was profitable to sell CDS contracts for four million, and then we thought it was profitable to buy CDS contracts for less than three million, so we did it, and you don't know, Mr. Madison, is it still our responsibility to be stupid now?"

Madison wanted to say something, but Zhou Ming's last sentence made him unable to say anything, Zhou Ming said: "I'm sorry, I'm not your father." ”

Madison was going crazy with this sentence, but he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zhou Ming but couldn't say a word, and finally could only honestly settle the contract with Zhou Ming and leave angrily.

After Madison, Martin, the chairman of St. Martin's Investment Company, Leo, the chairman of New Dawn Investments, and other 'big names' also walked into the room one by one, of course, their expressions were as surprised as Jamal Madison's, after all, Brooke's investment company was going bankrupt, how could he still come up with so much money to buy these CDS contracts?

These people are all 'big shots' in Brighton's financial circles, and they all know very well who has the strength to spend so much money to buy CDS contracts, and in the current environment of the subprime mortgage crisis, the only one who can take the money to dare to take out the money to buy CDS contracts is Brooke, so they can undoubtedly be sure that Jamal and their contracts were sold to the same person.

You know, even if the price of contracts has been falling recently, but these contracts are packaged together to reach the level of tens of millions of dollars, no matter how it falls, there are more than two million dollars, and so many contracts add up to one or two hundred million, even if it is Brighton Bank, this money is a big number, but now Brooke is so easy to take it out and use it to buy CDS contracts, why is this?

Having the same doubts as these 'big names' in Brighton's financial circles is Christo at Adams Estate in White Hill.

When Zhou Ming and Brooke delivered the CDS contract in the presidential box at Barton's Bar, their closing information reached Christo in less than an hour.

As the patriarch of the Addams family, Christo is undoubtedly a good player in finance, and he has also carried out many financial events, so he is also familiar with some financial instruments, including how to manipulate the market.

Just like in a previous stock crisis, when he wanted to buy the shares of a certain company, that day from the opening of the morning, he let his investment companies sell frantically, such a sell-off will inevitably lead to a decline in prices, and when the price falls below the bottom line, Christo will let those investment companies recycle all the shares, so that they can achieve the purpose of holding more stocks.

Now Zhou Ming is obviously doing the same, although it sounds like Zhou Ming spent hundreds of millions of dollars to buy CDS contracts, but CDS contracts of the same value may have cost twice as much money yesterday to buy.

"Using the resources at his disposal and his judgment of the market to manipulate the market, this Chinese is doing a good job, but what can you do if you get these CDS contracts?"

Confused, Christo picked up his phone and dialed the Barton Tavern: "I'm Christo Adams, and you're the head of Barton's Bar, right?"

Originally, there was still a confused voice on the other end of the phone, but with Christo's self-report, everyone over there suddenly woke up, this is Christo's call to the owner of Barton's tavern, and the boss immediately said after hearing Christo's voice: "It turned out to be Mr. Christo, I am so rude, I don't know what Mr. Christo commands?"

Comparing the politeness of the tavern owner, Christo said directly, "I know someone has just settled more than $200 million in CDS contracts with you, right? I need the details of their transaction." ”

......

At the same time, Zhou Ming and Brooke left the Barton Tavern, Zhou Ming took out his mobile phone and dialed a number: "All the contract delivery has been completed, and you can start the next step." ”
