Chapter 232: Qin Zhang Meets
Chapter 232: Qin and Zhang meet
……
The next day, just as Guo Shouyun had just finished running and was eating breakfast, Martin Alexander's phone call came in.
"Bruce, I've decided, I'm going to start from San Francisco this morning, then head south along the West Coast, through Mexico, Central America, South America, Australia, Africa, then from Africa to Europe, through Central Asia to China, from Alaska to Canada, and finally back to the United States!"
Martin's tone was filled with excitement and anticipation. Compared to yesterday's malaise, these are two completely different states. This is exactly what Guo Shouyun wants to see.
"Martin, you made the right decision. I believe that if Su Li knew, she would be very pleased. ”
"Bruce, if you can still get in touch with Su Li, please let me know. I will definitely do what she tells me and do everything I can to become mature and excellent!"
"Okay, I'll tell her when she calls again!" Guo Shouyun nodded.
"Goodbye then, my luggage has been packed, and I'll be off soon!"
"Pay attention to safety on the road, if there is anything you need to call me in time. ”
"Got it!" After a moment of silence, Martin's voice came again, "Thank you, Bruce!"
"You're welcome!"
The corners of Guo Shouyun's mouth twitched slightly.
After the blind sound sounded, he hung up.
"Surry Wendello has contacted you?" said Wendy, who was sitting next to her, surprised.
"Nope!"
"And what did you just be...?"
"Of course it's a lie to Martin. If he doesn't, he'll be stuck in grief. As a friend, I can't sit idly by. ”
"But there will always be a day when a lie will be exposed!"
"Of course. Hopefully, though, this global trip will make him a little more mature. In this way, when the truth is revealed, his ability to accept it will be better than now!" When the words fell, Guo Shouyun smiled, "Maybe on the way to travel, he can find a more suitable other half, so everything will not be a problem." ”
"It's not easy!" Wendy shook her head.
"It's always good to have anticipation!" after a smile, "yes, in the morning, you can see if there are any villas for sale nearby!"
"Are you still planning to buy a property?"
"Well, as the members of the Hanshan Villa increase, it will become more and more noisy, and it will no longer be the office environment that the Thunder Fund needs. So, we needed a new office space. Guo Shouyun said.
"Why don't you let them move to San Francisco's CBD?"
Guo Shouyun shook his head, "Thunder Fund is not another company, I must always pay attention to their every operation. Do our best to prevent the tragedy of the Bank of Bahrain from happening to us. ”
The Thunder Fund is nothing else, it is the engine of all Guo Shouyun's industries. Not only does she have a huge amount of money in her hands, but she also has to earn a huge amount of money from financial speculation, often tens of billions, or even tens of billions, and even a financial giant who will be at the helm of hundreds of billions of funds in the future, Guo Shouyun will never allow her to get out of her control.
"Sir, Mr. Qin has arrived!"
Butler George Fields walked over and reminded.
"Got it, let him in. ”
"Yes!"
After Guo Shouyun wiped his mouth, he stood up, "I've eaten well, you eat slowly!"
"No, I'm done eating!" Wendy cleaned her hands and mouth, and then stood up, "LinkedIn News should be updated at this time, do you need to watch it?"
"Of course!" Guo Shouyun nodded, "It's a pity that I can't see the faces of Jeffrey Jilin and Kenneth Lee after seeing this report!"
Wendy smiled, "I find you're pretty bad sometimes!"
"Of course, I've never been kind to the enemy!"
After the words fell, Guo Shouyun greeted Qin Zhicheng with a smile after seeing Qin Zhicheng who was walking in.
"Lao Qin, it's so early!"
"Since I know that the boss doesn't like to be late, of course I have to order it early!"
Looking at Guo Shouyun's outstretched arms, Qin Zhicheng took two steps forward and took the initiative to hug the other party.
"Have you eaten breakfast? I just made it here!"
"I've eaten it!"
"Hi, Wendy!"
"You talk first, I'll get you some drinks!" Wendy nodded and smiled.
"Thank you!"
"Let's go, let's go upstairs to the study!" Guo Shouyun said.
Qin Zhicheng nodded, and the two of them came to the second floor together.
"Boss!"
As soon as I walked up the stairs, I happened to meet Zhang Shaoling who came down from above.
"Shaoling, it's early!"
"Morning, boss!"
"Let me introduce you, this is Qin Zhicheng, the leader of our Thunder Unicorn **Yi Group!" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.
After listening, Zhang Shaoling looked at the young man opposite him who was wearing a dark blue suit and black tie, with a smile on his thin face, looking very friendly and giving people a sense of wisdom.
"Hello, my name is Zhang Shaoling, the leader of the Solomon Futures trading team!"
Compared with Qin Zhicheng in a suit and leather shoes, Zhang Shaoling is obviously a different style, with a white T-shirt and black cropped pants, and a pull-up board on his feet, which is not like the dress of a financial elite, but more like a college student.
"Hello. I've heard Mr. Zhang's name for a long time, and I originally thought that the boss would introduce us to us on a formal occasion, but I never thought to meet here. ”
After seeing the two shaking hands, Guo Shouyun said with a smile: "Originally, I planned to introduce you to the company's summary meeting at the end of the year, but now this is not bad." That's right, Shaoling. How much gold do you have now?"
"There are still 180,000 hands, which can be thrown this morning!"
"That's good. Guo Shouyun nodded, "You should be busy first, I still have some things to discuss with Lao Zhang!"
"Okay, Boss, don't forget our bets!" Zhang Shaoling reminded.
"Don't worry, you won't forget!"
After patting his forearm, Guo Shouyun took Qin Zhicheng to the reception room on the right.
After sitting down on the couch, "How's it going?"
Without a head or an end, Qin Zhicheng was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted.
"Although I don't dress like a traditional financial person, I can be valued by my boss and obviously have extraordinary talent in finance. ”
"You can talk! Okay, let's not talk about that. Let's talk about the work of the Centaur team. How much of the Enron, Worldcom, and Arthur Andersen 'credit default swaps' do we hold?"
"$7.28 billion! However, there is not much room left. Recently, many financial institutions have been buying!"
"Oh, is the market aware of it, or is someone paying the same attention as we do?"
"It's not clear yet. However, many energy companies and telecommunications companies are now buying more and more 'credit default swaps' products in the market!"
Guo Shouyun nodded clearly, there has never been a shortage of smart people and gamblers in this world.
"You can buy as many 'credit default swaps' as you can on Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Andersen corporate bonds. Also, I read the information you sent me about Tyco International and Adelphia. It is also okay to buy the short position of the former and buy the credit default swap of the latter. However, there is one more Enron to add to the bears. ”
"Enron? Didn't we already hold $3.12 billion in Enron shorts?" Qin Zhicheng said in surprise.
"Yes, I have to add!"
Guo Shouyun nodded affirmatively. Since it will not be able to legally remove it for a while, he still has to continue to short as a retaliation for the energy crisis in California, or as a hedge against Pan Pacific's losses in the energy crisis. Moreover, now that Enron is at war with him, there is no need for him to be scrupulous.
"But if there are too many targets, the funds will be scattered!"
When the centaur team was set up, when he purchased Enron, WorldCom and Arthur Andersen's 'credit default swap' products, Guo Shouyun gave him 200 million operating funds. Because the holding fee of CDS products above grade A is very low, it will basically not exceed 50 basis points. Therefore, the cost of $7.28 billion CDS products is only $3.64 million per year. So, most of the centaurs' $200 million remained untouched.
However, if margin trading is short Tyco International, with the current credit of the Thunder Fund, it can leverage more than 10 times. If 200 million is fully invested, it is only a position of 2 billion US dollars. Compared to the current market capitalization of Tyco International, this is not a staggering number. Of course, it's not small. However, if you continue to invest in Enron shorts, the power will be more dispersed, and it will obviously have an impact on the final gains.
"Don't worry, I'll give you another $500 million. In addition, you can also absorb funds from outside!" Guo Shouyun said with a smile.
Qin Zhicheng shook his head, "Now the centaur team has not achieved good results, and it takes time to raise funds from outside but cannot get much money. Rather than this, it is better to wait for the performance support to refinance, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. ”
"Well, I respect your decision. However, this time I will give you an additional $500 million, and I will buy all Enron shorts, and I will have to leverage tenfold!"
With a huge income from gold, when Guo Shouyun shorted Enron again, he was naturally more courageous than before.
After Qin Zhicheng nodded, "Now that Enron's stock price is rising, it won't be too difficult to borrow Enron's shares from financial institutions." However, with such a huge amount of money, I am afraid that there will be some accidents, after all, there are not many smart people in this world!"
Of course, Guo Shouyun knows this kind of truth in his heart. After a moment of silence, "Borrow as much as you can." If necessary, you can mention the price of the loan. Now Enron's tiger skin is still very capable of bluffing. Especially as California's energy crisis intensifies. ”
"When it comes to California's energy crisis, what is the boss going to do? After all, the loss of five or six billion dollars a month is too huge and too heavy. Qin Zhicheng said cautiously.
