"It's out, it's out!"
At the door of the No. 2 trading room, all the high-level executives of Goldman Sachs' Hong Kong branch arrived, like courtiers greeting the king, crowded in the not too open passage, with anxious, nervous, and helpless expressions.
Behind them, there are more middle- and lower-level leaders who have just been given a respite due to the closing of the US stock market, as well as ordinary employees.
They almost filled this section of the corridor.
Compared with the emotional downturn of senior leaders, they are more expectant, excited, and excited, and want to see the demeanor of the "stock god".
That's right, the gods.
After a lapse of 58 years, in the midst of a bear and bull market, he successfully predicted the outbreak of the stock market crash in the U.S. stocks, and boldly and accurately shorted several hot blue chip stocks, all of which hit the target. It's not a stock god, but what is it?
They have just received news from the US headquarters that in this terrible Black Monday, whether it is the foreign exchange futures market or the stock market, the flash crash is like a financial demon, which has destroyed almost all institutions and retail investors in the market.
Even some legends are not immune.
Among them, the most representative is Soros.
This is a ruthless man, and he has even seen some clues, and during the weekend, all his quantum hedge funds reached an agreement with Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank on Wall Street, to sell 2,400 S&P 500 futures contracts held by the quantum fund through Lehman Brothers immediately after the market opened on Monday.
It's a pity that it didn't work out, the market collapsed at the beginning, and it was one thing to find a rival, and there were some other hidden secrets.
It is said that this time, Soros lost a huge amount of $800 million.
and Warren Buffett, with a loss of $340 million.
Sam Walton, the richest man in the world, lost $2.1 billion in stock value.
Bill Gates, the world's youngest billionaire, lost $3.945 billion.
This shows how menacing and unpredictable this stock market crash is.
However, there is one person who makes a lot of money. The point is that the moment is right in front of their eyes.
As soon as Guo Yongkun walked out of the trading room, he felt that countless eyeballs converged on him, and he finally experienced the feeling of a star.
It's just that it's not comfortable, it's very uncomfortable.
So he probably didn't have the potential to become a star by birth.
"Hello Mr. Guo, I'm Langdon Smith, President of Goldman Sachs in Hong Kong. A white man with blond hair and curly hair on the other side immediately greeted him with a smile.
"I don't understand. The corners of Guo Yongkun's mouth twitched.
"I'll translate. Lu Xiwen volunteered, stepped forward and stood next to Smith, repeating what he had just said.
Want you to be so kind? Guo Yongkun complained in his heart.
After shaking Smith's hand, Guo Yongkun pointed behind him, and the door of the trading room was wide open, facing a glass window, and he was referring to the sky outside.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's almost dawn, I haven't slept all night, I'm too tired to do anything, let's get down to business first, and settle the account. ”
Smith couldn't see that the other party didn't want to deal with him at all, and his eyes rolled and said: "Mr. Guo, you may have to wait for a few more hours, it's not working time, and our settlement staff hasn't come to work yet." Do you think this is going to work, I know a very nice tea restaurant, it should be open soon, we can go have a morning tea first, and then come back to settle the bill. ”
"Is this necessary?" Guo Yongkun frowned slightly.
Smith didn't care, and said with a smile: "Anyway, being idle is idle, breakfast is very important, and after a while, I will ask the settlement staff to come over early, so that the money can reach Mr. Guo's pocket soon, so as not to have to run next time." ”
This guy can be regarded as grasping Guo Yongkun's "soft underbelly", no one wants their money to be in other people's pockets, and they all want to put it in their own purse as soon as possible.
Besides, if he comes over tomorrow, these people won't be entangled?
I couldn't hide, so I had to agree.
......
Causeway Bay, Nirvana Cha Cha Restaurant.
Guo Yongkun suspected that this tea restaurant did not open so early, but Smith played a trick and "knocked" it open.
When the group walked in, there was no diner in the huge tea meal, and there was no human hair on the sidewalk outside the door.
It's just getting bright. However, the lights in the dine-in room are still on, and the light reflects on the white tiles of the walls, making the environment particularly bright and even a little harsh.
A few people didn't look for a box, and sat down at a round table in the hall, a total of six people. In addition to Guo Yongkun and Chen Dashao, there are Smith, Lu Xiwen, and another vice president of Goldman Sachs, Owen. and Winzeni.
Bring her over, don't think about it, it must be Lu Xiwen's idea.
Of course, it makes sense on the surface, after all, Guo Yongkun and the two are her customers.
The delicacies served in bamboo cages are served on the table one by one, Guo Yongkun is really hungry, and he is not particular, so he will do it quickly. At least Smith didn't lie, this morning tea shop is really good, and the taste is very authentic.
After eating a pork rib with soy sauce Guo Yongkun alone, he felt that it was not enjoyable, so he ordered two more cages.
"Mr. Guo, about your short transaction, Mr. Lu has already reported to me, it is really breathtaking, he told me that you even predicted the speech of Treasurer Baker, which is incredible. Smith said with emotion, hoping that such a person could be used by him.
However, he also knew that this idea was simply not realistic.
Not to mention that people with this kind of ability will definitely not be willing to give in. Even with the other party's wealth, there is no reason to earn money for part-time work.
He's a serious billionaire now. And this billion, not in Hong Kong dollars, but in US dollars!
"It's not that exaggerated. ”
Guo Yongkun said quickly, "I have carefully studied the U.S. stock market and found that the fluctuations last week were very abnormal, and I expected that something should happen during the weekend.
"As for how this policy will be announced and who will make the statement, I can't guess. ”
Chen Dashao next to him was enjoying the food slowly, and couldn't help but smile, thinking that I Kun is really modest, and I am quite good at fooling.
Pinch your fingers, count what you calculate, and study U.S. stocks, why don't you study spaceships?
However, if you want to say that the expressions of the people at the table are the most complicated, it is Wen Caini.
Chen Dashao told her earlier that Guo Yongkun is a non-human, and she has never understood the meaning, and it is not until today that she really understands it.
also understands why Chen Ziang's background and age are so respectful to him.
This guy is indeed not a normal human being, and he is outrageously smart. This time, even Buffett and Soros were planted, but he made a lot of money from it.
Should...... There are always more than a billion dollars!
Thinking about it, Wen Caini felt remorseful, what a terrible wealth. As far as she knows, Guo Yongkun is unmarried.
She originally had a chance, she was very confident in her own conditions, but unfortunately, she is now involved with Chen Ziang, and Guo Yongkun seems to mind a little about this. She's already tried it out.
"That's pretty impressive, too!" Smith said.
"Yes, terrifying analysis and judgment. Owen chimed in.
Although Lu Xiwen, who helped translate, did not express his opinion, the awe in his eyes was obviously deeper than anyone else.
"Mr. Guo, now the news in New York has affected the world, leading to the outbreak of the financial tsunami, I believe you have heard, today the number of Hang Seng shares plummeted by 420 points, and other major financial markets in the world are similar, which can be described as miserable. What do you think will happen next, will it be ...... Will it turn into the Great Depression of 1929?"
Smith's expression was grim, and he didn't move a fast bolt throughout.
Owen and Lu Xiwen next to them are similar. There is no appetite at the moment.
That's the one thing they worry about the most.
However, Guo Yongkun has another thought: Do they really care about the Great Depression, or do they care more about their own interests and future?
Want to get the news from him, fight back, and fight your way out of the encirclement?
But why should I tell you?
"Mr. Smith, you think too highly of me, what is the next trend? Do you think I know?" Guo Yongkun looked at the other party with a playful expression.
"Yes, I think Mr. Guo should have some estimates, after all, you have seen through this step. Smith nodded vigorously.
Guo Yongkun smiled indifferently, how much love thinks, anyway, he has no ideological consciousness to make wedding dresses for others. Pick up a cup of egg custard and eat slowly.
Lu Xiwen glanced at Wen Caini vaguely, and she sat on the other party's right hand.
"Mr. Guo, let's eat shrimp dumplings, they taste very good. Wen Caini understood and diligently served vegetables for Guo Yongkun.
Guo Yongkun glanced at her, this is not good.
Although Saturday night was ridiculous and people were drunk, he was sure that he had not touched Wen Caini.
Wen Caini couldn't help but feel embarrassed when she saw that he was indifferent.
Smith and Lu Xiwen looked at each other, and the other party leaned into his ear and muttered something in a low voice.
After a while, Smith spoke: "Mr. Guo, if you are willing to sincerely disclose some information, we can waive all fees for this transaction. ”
"Oh?"
You have to say that...... Guo Yongkun's eyes lit up.
The same is true of Chen Dashao next to him.
is worthy of Goldman Sachs, and it is really rich.
According to their gambling market this time, as well as the dividends they need to bear, the fees paid to Goldman Sachs are not a small amount.
The amount should be as high as $50 million.
But then again, if Guo Yongkun really reveals some information to Goldman Sachs, the other party will lay out in advance according to this, and the interests involved are definitely not measurable by 50 million US dollars.
"Mr. Smith, I have to say that I am very touched by your suggestion. Guo Yongkun smiled slightly.
Or Lu Xiwen is more upright, we have no friendship in the past, we have been ruthless recently, and we have no sincerity at all, so we are ready to let me help, I can't help but think too much.
"Can Mr. Guo guarantee that the information is reliable?" asked Smith.
"Of course, since I can predict the stock market crash, how can I not analyze its next trend?"
Cunning boy, I just asked you, and you still don't look like you know. Smith was angry.
As long as the news is true, the fee will be paid to Mr. Guo's account immediately. ”
"Why don't you make a note. ”
“......”
There is no mistake
