Madison Avenue, Manhattan, New York.

"The above is the results of our three-month investigation, we can be sure that the source of funds for the Cowyce Fund, most of which comes from Zack Chang, the founder of Matrix, with a total amount of no less than $4.5 billion. ”

"At the same time, we have also done some research on the source of Zack Chang's funding. Neither the IRS nor the banking system has been able to verify the abnormal fund flows involving Zack Chang, and a total of 2,897 accounts in Switzerland, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, Xiangjiang, Panama, Lijiapo, Greenland and other offshore tax havens may be related to him. If you want to have more detailed findings, you may need to obtain congressional clearance and the assistance of the CIA. ”

In the quaintly decorated office, a middle-aged man who looked to be about forty was holding a report and reporting to Greenspan respectfully.

This is not an official institution of the Federal Reserve, but Greenspan's private property, his private office.

Despite the fact that Washington is not far from New York, Greenspan rarely goes to the Federal Reserve's headquarters in Washington, except for important meetings or media meetings, and generally works in his private office, which has been used for more than a decade.

Greenspan slowly took off the big black-rimmed glasses on his face, picked up the suede on the desk and wiped it, "In other words, it took three months for you to investigate how a young man under the age of twenty got his money?"

Fine beads of sweat oozed from the middle-aged man's forehead: "Mr. Chairman, I'm very sorry, but our investigation can't go deep without the permission of Congress, so... ”

The middle-aged man peeked at the expressionless Greenspan and sighed in his heart: "However, we do have some guesses about his source of funds. ”

Greenspan didn't speak, still wiping his glasses.

The middle-aged man was heartbroken: "That's the case, in this investigation, we found a phenomenon, in May and October 1997, January and February 1998, we found that there were large sums of money in and out of the accounts related to him, and in these months, it was when Goryeo, Xiangjiang, Dongying and Rakshasa were most seriously affected by the Asian financial turmoil, Soros and Julian Robertson were sniped by unknown institutions, resulting in heavy losses. So, I have a bold idea, could it be that Zack Chang's source of funds has something to do with this global financial turmoil, and that he is the one who is betting against Soros and others, or is he one of them?"

Greenspan's somewhat cloudy old eyes flashed with an imperceptible glimmer of elves, and he put his wiped eyes back on his face, and waved his hand for a long time: "I see, you can just continue to implement the work plan, well, adjust the level of attention to the BBB level." ”

Middle-aged people have a big heart in their hearts, and the BBB-level concern level is already a very high level of concern of the Federal Reserve's Securities Market Supervision Commission, and in addition to the world's top financial tycoons, they are the finance ministers or heads of state of various countries who hold real power.

He has been in this position for six years, and with his experience, he could never have imagined that Greenspan would attach so much importance to Zhang Chen.

Greenspan watched the middle-aged man leave his private office, picked up the report on the table and flipped through two more pages, muttered for a long time, and then picked up the phone: "Maggie, is the list full for the charity reception that Andrea held in two weeks。。。。。。?" Okay, can you add another invitation for me, the name is 。。。。。 ”

——————————————————

New York, Long Island, Oyster Bay, Cosset National Park East.

The two helicopters stopped on two flat helipads in the forest lawn one after the other in the fierce air current, and the low grass and bushes were blown down by the propellers with a diameter of more than ten meters, forming a circle of grass waves.

Zhang Chen and Bellankefen stepped down from the second helicopter one after another, got into a battery car that was already prepared on the side of the road, and drove north.

After about five minutes of driving, the battery car stopped in front of a large house.

The north-south facing mansion is fronted by a large lawn and forest, and the house is surrounded by lush forests on the east and west sides, connecting to Cosette National Park.

Walking through the stables, swimming pool, and atrium garden, standing in front of the arched gate, Zhang Chen pushed open the door and waved to Belrankfen: "Lauerde, come and see, how is this house?"

Bellankefen looked at his surroundings enviously, with his current income, it was not difficult to buy a small estate on Long Island covering a few acres, at most two or three million dollars.

There are many small estates on Long Island, most of which are owned by Wall Street and New York "old money" executives, and some powerful executives also employ a few butlers, which is relatively good compared to the average person.

But this manor is completely different, and it can be seen that the previous owner of this mansion was not an ordinary rich man, but a super-rich man. Whether it's the layout, the garden, the decoration, or even the displays in the house, it can be described as extravagant.

If Frankfin wanted to buy it, he would probably have to use all his savings and take out a heavy loan. Although he is much richer than ordinary people, as an excellent financial expert, he certainly does not make this kind of investment.

But what a nice house。。。。。。

"Three floors, eight bedrooms, three studies, twelve bathrooms, a video room, a swimming pool, a fireplace。。。。。。 The house has a total area of 20,000 square feet. This is the hall on the ground floor and the professional kitchen at the back. Zhang Chen took Bellankefen upstairs and downstairs for a few turns.

"Great house, private beachfront over there?" Bellankefen stood in front of the window, looking enviously into the distance, "Connecticut is over there, right? ”

Zhang Chen said lightly: "In addition to the helicopter, there is also a boat, you see, there is a private pier, and you can get to Manhattan in half an hour by speedboat." Look at this side again. ”

With that, Zhang Chen took Bellankefen to the opposite window and pointed to the deep forest and lawn full of eyes, "From here to the barrage over there, it is part of a private garden, as well as two tennis courts and a small three-hole golf course. There are stables and horse farms, and it's a good season for horse racing. ”

Bellankefen looked dizzy, not to mention golf and horse farms, he looked for the nets that Zhang Chen said for a long time, and only then did he vaguely see those five-meter-high nets in the depths of the distant forest.

"W-How big does this have to be?" Belankefen stumbled.

"46 acres. Zhang Chen gently spit out a number from his mouth.

"No wonder. Bellankefen sighed and said enviously, "It's at least ten million dollars here, right? ”

Zhang Chen smiled slightly: "It's 16 million US dollars, oh, there is also 1.7 million US dollars in repair costs, after all, this place was built ten years ago, and many things have to be replaced, what do you think?"

"It's very good," he said, "Twenty years ago, when I was a Ph.D. student at Harvard, a wealthy classmate invited us to his villa on the North Shore of Long Island for a party. ”

Zhang Chen laughed: "Really, congratulations, you have overfulfilled your dream." ”

Bellankefen was stunned for a moment, followed by a reaction, almost unable to believe his ears: "Boss, you, what did you say?"

Zhang Chen took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and said with a smile: "From today onwards, this place is yours." Lauerde, thank you for your contribution to Cowyce over the past year, this is a special reward that will rest assured that it will not count towards your year-end bonus. ”

After that, Zhang Chen casually threw the key to Bellankefen, and Belankefen reflexively caught the key, still not relieving, and stared wide-eyed: "Boss, I, I, special reward?"

Zhang Chen grinned and said: "Of course, Coyce performed very well in the first half of the fiscal year, in addition to our lightning trading, the profitability of the arbitrage department is also very high, and the sales of CDO are also good, you have done a good job, this is what you deserve." ”

Frankfin was so excited that he almost fainted, saying that Americans don't like houses, but in fact, there is no country where people don't want to change their living environment.

If you share an apartment, you want to rent an apartment alone, if you want to live in an apartment, if you want to buy a house, if you want to live in a house, if you want to have a holiday villa in a resort, if you want to have a holiday villa, if you want to have your own private estate, if you want to have a private estate。。。。。。

Desires are insatiable, and human desires are endless. A house is the most satisfying commodity for shopping.

Best of all, this is one of the top luxury homes on Long Island!

Bellankefen was excited and a little ashamed: "Actually, I didn't do anything, whether it was flash trading, arbitrage or stocks, the strategy was set by you, and the business strategy was also formulated by the boss, this, this is too valuable!"

Zhang Chen patted Belrankefen on the shoulder: "Rauld, you're welcome, what I said is what you deserve is what you deserve, I see everyone's work in my eyes, and I believe in my own eyesight." It turns out that you are more capable than I thought. ”

Bellankefen's heart beat violently a few times, and a feeling of death for a confidant arose.

"You just said that you live here, the helicopter is the only means of transportation, in order to get you to work on time, from today onwards, the helicopter is for your personal use, and all the expenses are for the company. Oh, and if you want to take a boat, you can ask Susan for a phone number from the yacht supplier. I suggest you still buy a speedboat, on days when the helicopter can't take off, you can let the speedboat take you to work. I don't want to lose tens of thousands of dollars a day in labor costs just because you can't travel. Zhang Chen half-jokingly.

Bellankefen's mood has been adjusted well, and his face is exaggerated: "Capital has been flowing with blood and filth from every pore since the day it was born, and this sentence is really right." ”

Zhang Chen laughed: "Yes, your compatriot Karl Marx is my idol. ”

The two were chatting when Zhang Chen's phone rang.

"What kind of invitation? I don't know, this kind of thing, just ignore it. Seeing that it was Tang Miaomiao's phone, Zhang Chen smiled slightly and pressed the answer button.

Tang Miaomiao pouted and said, "A charity cocktail party, in New York, was sent to me. I don't know if you arranged it, so I'll ask you. ”

Zhang Chen was a little surprised: "For you? I don't know, who is the inviter?"

Tang Miaomiao opened the exquisitely bound invitation letter, and tried to identify the flower characters on it: "I'll take a look, the payment is。。。。。。 Andrea Mitchell, the theme is to provide the necessary living allowance for survivors of the Rwandan genocide, with a minimum donation of $500. ”

Andrea Mitchell。。。。。。 Zhang Chen felt that the name was very familiar, no, very familiar.

"Andrea Mitchell?" Bellankfin leaned over and reminded, "It's NBC's chief diplomatic correspondent, and he often appears on TV." ”

Zhang Chen patted his head, yes, really, this name often appears in NBC News, I remember that she is a middle-aged woman who is still charming, politically leaning towards the Republican Party, and often asks some sharp questions to the Crichton cabinet.

Not only is she NBC's chief diplomatic correspondent, she was also a former White House correspondent and chief congressional correspondent, and since last year, she has become more well-known in another role. "Last year, she became Greenspan's second wife, and it is said that they have been dating for a long time. ”

There seems to be a string plucked in Zhang Chen's mind, Greenspan's wife?

Sure enough, Greenspan noticed himself. Zhang Chen showed a hint of a smile, two days ago Billankefen just participated in the LTCM meeting, today Greenspan found himself, and also sent Tang Miaomiao an invitation to the charity dinner, this sinister old man has really been paying attention to himself for a long time.

This is also a matter of time, in fact, it has been able to keep a low profile for so long before being noticed by Greenspan, Zhang Chen is already very satisfied.

The LTCM bailout meeting allowed the Cowyce Fund to truly appear in the top world of the American financial industry, which was originally one of Zhang Chen's purposes, otherwise, the Cowyce Fund would not have preemptively proposed an acquisition plan to attract attention.

"What time is it?" Zhang Chen asked in a deep voice.

Tang Miaomiao looked at the invitation: "May 8, 7 p.m. next Friday, New York time." ”

Zhang Chen pondered for a moment: "I think you can come two days in advance, I found a very good Chinese designer in New York, the dress designed is very beautiful, do you want to go and see it?"

How can a woman not like beautiful clothes, Tang Miaomiao said happily: "Okay, okay, then I'll fly over today." It just so happened that the tutor went to Germany for a conference in the past two days, and we had a few days off. ”

Zhang Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll pick you up in New Jersey at night." ”

Zhang Chen hung up the phone, but saw that Bellankefen was also on the phone with a solemn face.

"There's bad news. After the call, Frank Fen wiped the sweat on his head, and his face was very bad, "Merrill Lynch has just submitted an application for access to the New York Stock Exchange, and from next week at the latest, Merrill Lynch will also become a parallel service provider of the New York Stock Exchange, and the server will be directly connected to the host of the New York Stock Exchange." Damn! How could they be so fast! I thought it would be at least two months before a competitor appeared!"
