"Pardon my faux pas, Mr. Charles, and listen to me, I would love to see you soon, no matter how late." Although Steven on the other end of the electric huà was still so polite and polite, he was faintly anxious.
"Why?!" Li Zaiting's eyes narrowed slightly, and his voice suddenly became a little colder, if he was just puzzled just now, now he feels a little weird, who would say such a thing in the electric huà?! This non-deniable tone is really annoying.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Charles, I didn't make it clear, I'm going to New York early tomorrow morning, and I'm very interested in one of your things, so I want to meet you and have a good talk"
Stuff?!
Li Zaiting was stunned, and couldn't help but recall in his mind that he didn't seem to have anything worthy of others' nostalgia
Thinking about it, Lee Jae-ting suddenly remembered the front-page news he saw in the old newspaper yesterday when he was having dinner on the set at noon today.
…
The night was sultry, and there were few customers in the small coffee shop on the street, but all eyes were on the 42-inch wall-mounted TV on the wall, which was playing the baseball game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the New York Yankees on the BBC sports channel.
Sitting at the coffee table by the window, Lee Jae-ting watched the game absentmindedly while drinking coffee.
With a 'jingle bell', the wind chimes hanging in front of the café emitted a crisp and pleasant sound, and two men in suits and leather shoes and a beautiful blonde woman in a Chanel suit walked into the café.
Standing at the door, the three of them looked around, and then one of the men in his thirties, Ji Yu Xuanang, took the lead and walked in front of Li Zaiting.
"Mr. Charles, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Stephen. Anderson, manager of the investment department of the Bank of America, "led by the man showed a touch of elegance, and the lord dòng held out his hand.
"Hello! Call me Charles, that's what my friends call me," Lee got up and shook Stephen's hand while looking at the three of them.
Stephen is about thirty-five or sixteen years old, with a kind smile, shrewd eyes, and a calm and self-conscious voice, and the high-end suit on his body does not show the brand, but it is very well groomed, and even the buttons on the dark purple shirt are shining with crystal fluorescent.
The other two, a white man in his forties, had a somewhat honest smile on his face, had short and capable hair, was heavy, and was strong and strong.
The last one is a tall blonde beauty, with a pair of rare blue crystal eyes, wearing a pair of gold-wire glasses, wearing a black suit and skirt, the third and fourth buttons of the pink shirt in the clothes are not buttoned, the open collar reveals a deep chasm, and the white hand holds a crocodile skin briefcase, under the briefcase, a pair of long legs wrapped in flesh-colored stockings are also very eye-catching.
"Let me introduce you to shào, this is Mr. Sean, and this beautiful young lady is my legal advisor, Lisa."
Li Zaiting shook hands with the two of them one by one, said hello, and at the moment of re-seating, Li Zaiting glanced out the window, there were four high-end cars parked in front of the coffee shop, and next to each car stood one or two men in suits and leather shoes, obviously coming with these three people.
Perhaps it was because he saw that the three of them were dressed unusually, or maybe they wanted to get more tips, the coffee shop uniform, who usually did everything very much, took the menu and walked over quickly.
Ordered three cups of coffee at random, and the waiter brought the coffee to the table, Stephen picked up the coffee and took a sip, immediately put it on the table, looked at Li Zaiting and smiled, "Charles, presumably, you should have guessed what I want by now, right?!" ”
"Of course, if I think I'm not mistaken, it should be those forward short warrant contracts in my hand" Ignoring Stephen's pretended affectionate title, Lee Jae-ting quietly picked up his coffee and took a sip, trying to hide the excitement in his heart.
There were too many troubles that happened in South Korea at the beginning, and in the face of one after another anti, he had long forgotten that he had taken all of his wife's capital to short U.S. stocks when he first returned to China.
If I hadn't been so anxious at the time, I guess I would have cleared my position and arbitraged
Stephen nodded slightly, "Yes, I hope you can sell me these contracts, and I will give you a price that you are very happy with." ”
In a trance, Li Zaiting secretly took a breath, put down the coffee cup, and looked at the shrewd eyes opposite him unusually peacefully, "Really?" So how much are you going to pay?! ”
"$70 million in cash, paid in one lump sum, to buy contracts for Citibank and S&P in your account." Stephen's voice was not loud, but the smile on his face was full of an indescribable self-expression.
Li Zaiting was stunned, and then shook his head with a light smile, although 70 million US dollars is an astronomical amount for many people, it is too cheap for the 5 million US dollar Citi and Standard & Poor's contract.
Stephen frowned slightly, "Mr. Charles, this price is already very fair, as long as you agree, you can become a multimillionaire immediately, I think this money is a lot of wealth for you." ”
Fair price?!
Li Zaiting looked at Steven with a hint of arrogance in his eyes, and couldn't help but chuckle and shrugged his shoulders, "Thank you for your kindness, I don't think I need to, I keep those contracts for myself, and when the market falls to this time next year, maybe I can become a billionaire So, sorry, I still have something to do, let's go first"
As he spoke, Li Zaiting nodded to the three of them, then straightened his clothes and stood up.
The bear market is self-explanatory, there is no minimum, only lower, this truth he understood very early, now that the financial crisis has just begun, whether it is the market or stocks, as long as it falls further, these short orders that are now worth six or seven million dollars will only become more and more valuable.
"Please wait, Charles" Steven stretched out his hand to stop Lee, "if you are not satisfied with the price, we can talk about it again." ”
"Okay" Noticing the seriousness on Steven's face, Lee hesitated for a moment and sat down again.
"And Charles, how much do you want to sell it for?!"
"It's hard to say" Li Zaiting leaned back in his chair and changed into a more comfortable position, then looked at Steven and smiled, "Perhaps, in my eyes, the Citibank contract alone is worth half a billion dollars"
"God! That's impossible!!! ”
Li Zaiting's words had just fallen, and Steven, who had always been mild-mannered, changed his expression, and the smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
At this moment, not only Steven felt incredible, but even Sean and Lisa, who had been sitting next to him without speaking, were taken aback by Lee Jae-ting's big appetite.
Lisa, who was sitting to Stephen's left, glanced deeply at Lee Jae-ting, and her blue eyes seemed to be full of strangeness as if she had seen an alien.
A $2 million futures contract alone costs $500 million, how dare this guy speak?!
"Mr. Steven, I think the price is very reasonable" Looking at the different wonderful reactions on the faces of the three people, Lee Jae-ting curled the corners of his mouth, unhurriedly turned 'fair' into 'reasonable', and returned it as it was.
"From the beginning of the year to now, Citi's stock price has fallen by 84%, I was shorting their stock at $56, and now Citigroup's stock has fallen to $4.7 a share, you know, the financial crisis has just begun, maybe their stock will fall to a dollar, or even 50 cents, and then I will close the position and get much more than $70 million, so the price you offer is not attractive to me at all."
Hearing the meaning of Li Zaiting's words, Steven took a breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and looked at Li Zaiting with cold eyes, "Charles, this price is impossible, even if you are right, but you want so much money and no one can give it to you now, even if you close the position and exercise the option, Citibank will not have any money to give you, the 'subprime mortgage crisis' has made them all bad debts that they can't recover, let alone 70 million US dollars, they can't even take out 30 million US dollars now." … Hum... And with so much money, they might as well spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to help you create an accident that no one can find out. “
"Accident?! Hehe...."Li Zaiting picked up the coffee and took a sip, then raised his eyebrows slightly, and still smiled unhurriedly, "I believe they will do this, but I had an accident many years ago, and I had a second car accident more than half a year ago, and I almost went to see God both times, but I still live well,... So... I don't care about any accidents now, if I could, I'd rather go to hell and be a disciple of Satan......"
"Mr. Charles, this price is too exaggerated, I can't promise you, no one knows what will happen tomorrow, maybe the Federal Reserve will come to the rescue tomorrow, and the $70 million you can get right away will continue to decrease..."
"It's okay, I have time, I can wait slowly, even if the Fed really wants to save the market tomorrow, it's a big deal, I'll make less money...."
Damn it...... Steven gritted his teeth and cursed. For some reason, for the first time, he felt that the young man in front of him, who was only in his twenties, was more difficult to deal with than anyone he had ever seen before.
"Charles, 150 million, 70 million will be given to you first, and the next 80 million will be paid in two installments within six months, this is the highest price I can give you...."
"Wait" Seeing that Steven still wanted to continue, Li Zaiting hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt him, "No need to say more, Steven, there is nothing else I have to go back first, I really hope to sell the contract to you, but I believe in equivalent exchange more, I hope we will have the opportunity to meet in the future, goodbye"
After speaking, Li Zaiting nodded to the three of them slightly, and then left the coffee shop.
In silence, looking at the figure of Li Zaiting far away, Steven leaned back in the chair and touched his chin, and after a while, sighed softly, "This guy is even more difficult than I think"
"You said the wrong thing before, Steven" Lisa, who had not spoken during the meeting, turned her head to look at Steven next to her, and then silently took off her glasses, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes.
"Which one?!"
"From the moment he answered the call, the first sentence you said, and the last sentence just now, you forgot, he also studied psychology in Xiào"
"Well, it looks like we can't go to New York tonight."
