Chapter 483: Preparing for the Attack (Second Update)
The Portman Ritz-Carlton is now one of the largest five-star hotels in Shanghai, managed and operated by the famous luxury hotel brand Ritz-Carlton, which was acquired by Marriott a few years ago and became a brand of Marriott.
Zhang Chen's room is on the top floor, the 45th floor.
Zhang Chen at the Portman Hotel is no stranger.
To be precise, Zhang Chen is no stranger to the entire Shanghai market, and he is familiar with the streets and alleys here. I know that Xiao Yang Shengfang on Wujiang Road is not famous yet, I know that the scallion pancakes in the alley of Maoming South Road in Huangpu will be on the BBC in the future, and I know that I have to go to Wang Baohe to eat hairy crabs and go to Xiaoshaoxing to eat white chopped chicken.
But the current Shanghai market is unfamiliar to Zhang Chen, there is no International Financial Center, no Hong Kong exchange, no World Financial Center, no Jin Mao Tower, not even Yan'an Road and the Outer Ring Elevated, and there are only two cross-river tunnels: Dapu Road and Yan'an Road.
The Portman Ritz-Carlton in Shanghai is Zhang Chen's favorite hotel in Shanghai in his previous life, which is different from the new Ritz-Carlton in the IFC, although it is a little old, and the western restaurant on the first floor is also a little cramped, but it has a unique Shanghainese charm.
"Maybe the FBI will do some routine investigation on you recently, but that's okay, it shouldn't be anything. Rice said lightly on the phone.
"Condolica, thank you very much. Zhang Chen hung up Rice's phone and stood in front of the wide bay window and pondered for a long time.
He didn't believe that Richard Bran's words were pointless, he must have heard something to say so.
The big funder behind Newbridge Capital, founded by Richard Bran, is the local capital of Texas, and Texas is the stronghold of the Republican Party, and there is a possibility that Richard Bran heard something from the mouths of these red necks.
Therefore, Zhang Chen called Rice to see if she could find out any news, after all, Rice is now a rising star in the Republican Party and has a close relationship with the Bush family, and this kind of thing is the safest way to ask her.
Michael Dyer.
When Rice gently spit out the name from his mouth, Zhang Chen immediately understood.
After iCom went public, the biggest hit was Dell. Dell's mid-to-high-end products, which cost between $1,200 and $3,000, are almost completely unsold in North America.
As a result, the market generally predicts that Dell's revenue and profit growth in the second quarter will decline by 5%-10% respectively.
Dell's stock price has also fallen, and in less than two months since the launch of iCom, Dell's stock price has fallen by 8%, much to the fury of the arrogant Michael Dell.
Therefore, in recent times, Dell has published on many public occasions such as "iCom is just a toy, an empty shelf with a beautiful shell", "If Dell moves the factory to Huaxia, of course it will get a lower cost, but this is not what we want, we need better quality", "A Chinese who just got a green card, but at least 20 million US dollars a month from the United States, isn't it ridiculous?", "Who can guarantee that Zack Chang is not a spy of Huaxia?" and other offensive remarks towards Matrix and Zhang Chen.
Although his remarks have been racist, there are many people who support and echo his views, including some members of the Republican Party who have some influence.
Rice only told Zhang Chen a general situation, but as long as he has a direction, he can implement specific information in a targeted manner, and these are Zhang Chen's strengths.
It didn't take long for Zhang Chen to restore the whole process.
Hehe, Zhang Chen sneered a few times in his heart, green card holders in the United States except for the right to vote and the right to be elected, and other rights, and the same rights enjoyed by American citizens, the FBI wants to check? Okay, I want to see who is more unlucky in the end.
"Miao Miao, that's the basic situation, you go back and talk to our dad, if he wants, I will help him contact Mel Brown Blat. When Zhang Chen returned to the room, he called Tang Miaomiao and told him about the results of seeing Richard Bran today.
"Phew, that's my dad!" Tang Miaomiao snorted, "I'll call my dad in a while, and he must be happy to hear it." ”
Zhang Chen laughed twice, Tang Miaomiao's mind was delicate, and he noticed that Zhang Chen's interest was a little low, "What's wrong? Are you too tired? You haven't rested since the New Year." ”
Zhang Chen denied: "No, it's just a little annoying." ”
Under Tang Miaomiao's questioning, Zhang Chen narrated to Tang Miaomiao what he had just found out.
Tang Miaomiao was puzzled: "What's so annoying about this, if naturalization can be solved, then naturalization will be naturalization." Even if you become an American citizen, you are not the same as a Chinese?"
The Chinese people of the 90s were far less sensitive to the issue of nationality than later generations. In the simple concept of Chinese people, no matter which passport you are holding, as long as the blood on your body is the blood of Chinese people, and you grew up in China, you are Chinese people.
Moreover, the main reason why Zhang Chen didn't want to give up his Huaxia nationality was because of interests.
In the future, Zhang Chen will have a considerable proportion of his career in Huaxia, if he gives up his Huaxia nationality, there are many industries where Zhang Chen will not be able to get involved, even if he operates through an agent, he will be greatly restricted.
While some projects can circumvent these regulations through VIE and other means, there will still be many projects stuck on this.
One of the reasons for Ma's Daddy's Fortune Treasure incident was the policy restrictions on foreign shareholders.
The reason why Zhang Chen only got a green card, in addition to some patriotic feelings, is also because this is the choice to maximize interests.
Of course, this harms the interests of the United States, but isn't the United States a gentleman, a gentleman can be bullied, as long as Zhang Chen does not break the law, even if it is the FBI, Zhang Chen does not believe that they can do anything with themselves.
It's a big deal to wait until you really can't withstand the pressure, and it's not too late to become a naturalized citizen.
Zhang Chen made up his mind and chatted with Tang Miaomiao for a while before taking a bath and sleeping.
"M, the first one is a swap of 100 billion won, wouldn't it be too risky?" Jiang Pyeong typed into a corporate chat app similar to ICQ.
"I never take risks, this is a calculation based on the debt situation of 33 banks in Goryeo. Jiang Ping's computer popped up with such a line.
"You said you read the debt information of 33 banks?" Jiang Ping felt a little funny, these materials are at least a few hundred trillion, and they can be piled up in the whole room when they are replaced with paper documents, most of which are bank statements, how can anyone read all these messy materials?
"Yes, First Bank is in the most dangerous debt situation, with $3.2 billion in short-term liabilities to be repaid next month, while the whole of Goryeo has $9.8 billion in short-term liabilities to be repaid in July, $6.7 billion in August, $7.2 billion in September, $8.8 billion in October, and $12 billion in December. M said like a few treasures on the chat software.
!! Jiang Ping almost felt incredible, could it be that this M had really read all the information of the 33 banks in Goryeo? And also made calculations? Could it be that he was a humanoid computer?
The words continued to pop out of the screen: "Mr. J, if we follow the model given by X, our first attack should be placed on next Wednesday, July 2, with a swap of at least 100 billion won, and then gradually enlarge the position until other hedge funds follow suit." ”
