Marvel's Incredible Hulk has basically taken off the cinema line now, and the global box office has exceeded $300 million. Even in such a bad market environment, Marvel's stock price has maintained an upward trend, and now it has begun to hit the market value of $2 billion. Originally, they wanted Zhou Shi to discuss the next stage of development in the past, but he was in trouble and he was unwilling to bring this trouble to Marvel.

Regarding the rumors in the market, Zhou Shi was not in a hurry, rebuttal was not the point, how to eliminate the negative impact on himself was important.

"Did you borrow $3 billion to short the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States?" the reporter first asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.

"No!" Zhou Shi said categorically, "but I'm curious about who the person who broke the news is, and he is obviously hostile to me. ”

"Why do you say that? "Journalists

"Since he knew that I had borrowed $3 billion, he should also know that I only had $2 billion invested in Galaxy Capital, which is easy to prove, and it was all transferred directly from the bank. Zhou Shi said angrily

"So what about the $20 you put in to short the United States?"

"No, of the $2 billion, only $1 billion has been invested in the Vermilion Bird Fund, and Galaxy Capital only has the Vermilion Bird Fund that can make these high-risk investments. Zhou Shi quietly played a wave of advertisements, and by the way, he promoted Galaxy Capital.

"So exactly you invested a billion dollars in shorting the United States?"

"I don't think I can say that, shorting the US is not something I can do, that's what Wall Street is capable of. I just invested in a private equity fund. Zhou Shi didn't want them to dump the pot casually, and the "accidental" exposure of Wall Street's hollow god made the Vermilion Bird Fund of Galaxy Capital receive a lot less attention, after all, it was John Paulson who made the most money. Zhou Shi unceremoniously threw him the name of "Wall Street Empty God" and asked him to help him share the pressure, but fortunately, someone saw the opportunity and actually pulled Goldman Sachs in, saying that there is a team within Goldman Sachs that is also crazy about shorting. One is a pure American, and the other is a famous bigwig, and the attention far exceeds that of Galaxy Capital. That's it, Lu He is fine, and Zhou Shi's problem is bigger.

"So how did you come up with the idea to invest in this fund?" the reporter did not want to actively advertise him.

"My graduation thesis was about the subprime mortgage crisis, and the head of the Suzaku Fund and I shared the same opinion, so you know, I made my own efforts to test my opinion. "Zhou Shi

"You predicted the subprime mortgage crisis long before last year?" the reporter asked in surprise

"yes, what's so strange about that? I was studying finance and real estate in the U.S. Zhou Shi pretended to be innocent

"You could have predicted the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis in advance, so why not give a warning and let so many people go bankrupt?" the reporter said indignantly

"You are stupid, I have made reports on the subprime mortgage crisis, Galaxy Capital, and Analysys International, but unfortunately not many people believe it. It's not that no one believes it, almost everyone on Wall Street knows that this crisis will erupt, but they can make a lot of money before it erupts, so ...... You know the results. "Zhou Shi

"You said that everyone knew that there would be this crisis, how can you prove it?"

"It's very simple, it's not just the Vermilion Bird Fund that is short Wall Street, like Wall Street Empty God and Goldman Sachs are shorting. The main reason for everyone to short is only one point: there is no house price in this world that only rises and falls. And there are already a group of people who have died on the way to shorting before us, and John Paulson and Lu He are just the luckiest group. "Zhou Shi

"By the way, we said earlier that you only invested $1 billion in short, so what about the rest of the money?" The reporter probably knew that there would not be many breaking points if it continued, so he quickly changed the topic.

"One billion of them went to Europe to buy the bottom, and another billion went to the United States. Zhou Shimian said without changing color.

"Then did you succeed in buying the bottom?" The reporter thought of something, Zhou Shi's funds were transferred out a few years ago, and now the U.S. stock market has been falling.

"I refuse to answer, it's my privacy. Zhou Shi really changed his face in cooperation.

The reporter also nodded understandingly, and said with a little sympathy: "I understand!"

You understand the hell, can I tell you that if you buy a stake in Volkswagen, what if Porsche succeeds in buying Volkswagen? What if you know that I bought Spreadtrum Communications?

"If you were given a chance, would you still invest in the Vermilion Bird Fund to short?" Although the reporter sympathized with Zhou Shi, he still had no intention of letting Zhou Shi go.

"No, I may invest more money in the Suzaku Fund. Zhou Shi looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, life was really lonely as snow.

"Why? Aren't you afraid that people will say you're immoral?"

"The most unethical are the giants of Wall Street, and investment banks like Lehman are the main drivers of this crisis, and I think they can go to hell. Zhou Shi did not hesitate, no matter how this storm of public opinion came about, he always had to do something. No enemy has to make an enemy, not to mention that there are ready-made opponents now.

"Are you saying that they caused the subprime mortgage crisis?" the reporter also knew this statement, but from Zhou Shi's mouth, he was very surprised.

"That's right......." Zhou Shi suddenly turned into a financial dealer and began to diss Lehman Brothers.

His strategy was successful, and with all kinds of cooperation, Zhou Shi's ability was once again shown in front of everyone. The profits brought to him by the Suzaku Fund may not be able to compensate for the losses caused by the decline in stocks. There was much less resistance to Zhou Shi, but his public disdiss Lehman made the current CEO Forde very annoyed.

"Lehman has more than 100 years of successful experience, and our expertise is unquestionable. The subprime mortgage crisis is a systemic crisis, and it is not our responsibility. Zhou Shi is just a little kid who doesn't have any hair, what does he know?"

However, Zhou Shi, who was determined to fall into the trap, continued to promote the interpretation of the financial crisis, highlighting the role played by Lehman.

Although Lehman was down-and-out and not to be bullied, he began to attack Zhou Shi's personality, doubting the source of his wealth, saying that Zhou Shi's adventurous personality would go bankrupt in this financial crisis, and the bank would lose everything he had now when he saw the risks.

Before Zhou Shi could refute it, a cooperative bank stood up. "We believe in Zhou Shi's ability, and if there is a need, we can lend him a billion at any time. "UBS

"Yes, we are very confident in Zhou Shi's loan, and if necessary, we can lend him another billion dollars as quickly as possible. "HSBC

.......

There was an uproar among the public and the media, and Zhou Shi was able to gain the upper hand in the duel with Lehman. It's a pity that what they don't know is that the loans of several major banks to Zhou Shi are almost risk-free, and as for the current support because of Zhou Shi's investigation of information leakage, they made a statement, the Vermilion Bird Fund has their investment, and the appropriate overture is nothing.
