Chapter 710: Borrowing Soldiers (Just Asking for Recommendation Votes)
Zhang Chen never felt how difficult it was to persuade Khodorkovsky to go short with him, and although he didn't really know about these Rakshasa oligarchs before he was reborn, he had always seen some of the news and gossip on the Internet.
Zhang Chen still remembers that when CCTV broadcast the news of Khodorkovsky's arrest and imprisonment, his girlfriend at the time was still full of peach eyes and praised Khodorkovsky for being so handsome.
Now I see real people, damn eggs, more handsome than on TV.
I don't know if he picked up soap because of this handsome face when he entered the number?
Zhang Chen's mind was full of maliceγγγγγγ
Khodorkovsky suddenly shivered, and couldn't help but look around in confusion, the sauna was still close to fifty degrees Celsius, how could it feel so cold?
"It's almost all over the sweat, let's go refuel, Ann's craft is great, there's nothing better than steaming and eating a hot apple pie. Khodorkovsky stood up and said to Zhang Chen.
"It would have been nice to have a glass of vodka. Zhang Chen added to Khodorkovsky.
Khodorkovsky laughed: "Yes, it's better to have a glass of vodka." β
The two took a shower separately, and when Zhang Chen got dressed and returned to the wooden house, Khodorkovsky had already chewed on the case.
"Would you like some caviar?" said Khodorkovsky, holding a glass of vodka in one hand and a spoon in the other, with a small pile of caviar on a plate in front of him.
"Very nice. Zhang Chen took a small spoonful of caviar, put it in his mouth, his tongue was on the load, the greasy fish roe burst in his mouth, and a salty smell went straight to his nostrils along his mouth, and after two or three seconds, he felt a fresh sweetness blooming on his taste buds.
"It's a pity that the wild white sturgeon in the Caspian Sea is almost extinct, and I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eat such a good caviar in the future. I remember when I was a child, although I was very poor, the caviar I ate was no worse than the caviar that I have now for 800 dollars a kilogram. Sometimes, it's hard to wonder what wealth means to us. Khodorkovsky lamented.
Zhang Chen took a sip of red cabbage soup, "There are indeed things in the world that money can't buy, such as dinosaurs, but no one loses interest in making money because they can't buy dinosaurs." β
Khodorkovsky was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Well, you're right, I want to know, what is your specific plan? β
Zhang Chen ate two slices of apple pie, and then he couldn't finish his words: "There are two steps, the first step, you have just said, you can hollow out Menajiep Bank in advance, and you can still do this, you can at least take out a billion dollars from Menajiep." This money does not need to be deposited in a Swiss bank, we can use it to do some more profitable business. β
Khodorkovsky's eyes flashed: "For example?"
Zhang Chen said casually: "For example, invest in Xiangjiang and snipe the quantum fund." β
Khodorkovsky laughed: "This is your real purpose, right? Everyone knows that the Quantum Fund and the Tiger Fund are besieging Xiangjiang, and you are trying to relieve Xiangjiang? Let me guess, you represent the official forces of Huaxia behind you?"
Zhang Chen put down the knife and fork and looked at Khodorkovsky calmly: "Whether you believe it or not, I only represent myself." The reason why I propose to snipe the quantum fund in Xiangjiang is because whether there is you and me or not, the quantum fund will lose this battle! Druckenmiller will lose! Why don't you do this kind of hitchhiking to make money?"
"Moreover, the soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first. If you want to defeat the enemy, you must cut off their food routes. You and I both know that the reason why Berezovsky and Gusinsky were able to maintain such a high leverage ratio was because of the support given to them by Western capital led by Soros. And Soros was able to maintain a large investment in Rakshasa because Druckenmiller gave them a steady stream of blood transfusions from Southeast Asia. As long as this blood transfusion channel is cut off, it will be difficult for them to come up with money to support Chubais and Berezovsky. At that time, we already had a large amount of Rakshasa debt in hand, and under the attack of both sides, the oligarchs under Chubais must have suffered heavy losses, while we could get billions of dollars. β
"I call this tactic a two-headed snake. Zhang Chen said calmly.
Khodorkovsky calmly analyzed Zhang Chen's plan, theoretically speaking, if they can defeat Druckenmiller in Xiangjiang and let the international speculators withdraw at a loss, for the safety of funds, they will inevitably withdraw from Rakshasa. Other oligarchs such as Berezovsky and Gusinsky, who have lost the support of Western capital, will inevitably find it difficult to maintain such a high leverage ratio, and the capital chain will inevitably break. When the time comes, they will be no different from lambs to the slaughter.
But will it really go so well?
Khodorkovsky narrowed his eyes: "In an interview with the BBC last week, Druckenmiller admitted for the first time that it was the Quantum Fund that was shorting Xiangjiang, and he said that Xiangjiang would fail. Druckenmiller has successfully shorted the United Kingdom and Mexico, and he also managed the Southeast Asian financial crisis. This man has always kept a low profile, if he is not absolutely sure, how can he say such a thing?"
Zhang Chen snorted, "It's very simple, he was wrong. β
Khodorkovsky was a little surprised, Zhang Chen's attitude was so calm and relaxed, it didn't look like a bluff, could it be that there were any stories in it that were not humane to outsiders that affected his judgment?
"Could it be that the Chinese government will end up in person?" said Khodorkovsky's eyes flashed tentatively.
Zhang Chen smiled slightly, neither admitting nor denying it, "I can only tell you that Xiangjiang has returned to China on July 1, and the affairs of Xiangjiang are the affairs of the Chinese people themselves." β
Khodorkovsky's face changed slightly, if the Chinese government really ended up in person, then of course the result would be different.
To put it bluntly, the exchange rate war is fought against the strength of the country, and if the strength is strong, even if the exchange rate is seriously unreasonable and the exchange rate is inverted, it can still be won. If the strength is weak, it is not a question of winning or losing, but being slaughtered by others.
If the Chinese mainland supports Xiangjiang desperately, and the foreign exchange reserves of the two places are combined, even if the power of international travel capital is doubled, it will not be of any benefit.
Khodorkovsky thought about it for a long time and raised his glass: "How do you want to cooperate?"
Zhang Chen said without hesitation: "Two plans, the first plan, you take out a billion dollars and hand it over to me to operate, we will make a three-month bridge, and I can settle it for you at 130% of the standard interest rate." β
Khodorkovsky smiled, "What about the second one?"
"The second plan, you invest one billion dollars in my offshore fund in Cayman, and I charge 20% of the profit and management fee, and then the profit is divided proportionally, if there is a loss, the loss is more than 20%, and I will bear the excess. Zhang Chen looked at Khodorkovsky calmly.
My results, in fact, the recommended ticket monthly pass is useless, but I just want to see, if you rush to the recommended ticket how many people can be ranked, I also know that I don't update it well, and it's really shameless to ask for a ticket or something, but I've really tried my best.
Half a year ago, a book friend said that I would be a eunuch within three months, and I said no, and until now, I still say no.
I will finish this book well, and thank you all for your support.
