Chapter 283: Leave a way for your opponent to live

In the past few hours, the news of Tang Bao's attack on a shopping mall in Tokyo has spread rapidly in Europe and the United States, and most of the reports have implied that the attack was related to Tang Bao's wanton shorting of the Japanese stock market, and that the radical nationalists in Japan are dissatisfied with the destruction of their stock market myth by Tang Bao, and they cannot tolerate Tang Bao's unscrupulous withdrawal of money from their stock market, so they will take such bloody measures to retaliate.

And the media in Japan are very low-key about the attack on Tang Bao. The relevant press releases were also placed in inconspicuous corners, and the wording of the press releases rarely used words such as "attacked" and "hunted down," but instead replaced them with a relatively neutral "impact," and even diverted attention, and reported on a large scale Tang Bao's admission that he had earned more than $40 billion in the Japanese stock market. The intention to downplay Tang Bao's attack is very clear. On the other hand, those tabloids with poor sales mentioned more, but because their scope and readership were extremely small, they did not attract attention.

Obviously.

The Japanese government greeted the newspapers that had a relatively large influence in the country, asking them to downplay the news report on the attack on Tang Bao.

So.

Tang Bao, who still hasn't left, can hardly feel the earthquake caused by the world's richest people being chased and slashed by the Hey Gang, and Tokyo has been very calm, as if nothing had happened. However, relatives, friends, and business partners on the other side of the ocean all called to greet him, which made Tang Bao clearly feel that his attack was not as calm as he saw, but was just downplayed in Japan.

……

"Huh? Why don't you answer the phone? Tang Bao looked at Kate with a weird smile on his face.

"It's been more than two hours, phone calls have come in one after another, and my mouth is dry just by answering the phone. Boss, you are still cunning, if you answer every phone call yourself, you have to be tired and lie down, and you don't have to do anything else. Kate complained.

Tang Baohe laughed. "I had a similar experience last year in New York. I thought you'd be prepared for that. ”

No way.

With the continuous expansion of Tang Bao's business territory, the circle of business friends is also constantly expanding. Tang Bao's attack in Tokyo is not dangerous, this matter is not big, it is not small, and the circle of business friends will take this opportunity to call to greet them, and they can also have contact feelings.

Even the slightest bit of intelligence will not let go of this rare opportunity.

Despite the tiredness of shouting, Kate only complained a few words before continuing to answer the phone. There are a lot of important calls coming in every day, and if you miss it, you will be in trouble.

"Okay, please wait!" Kate, who was reclining on the sofa, suddenly got up. Leaned over to Tang Bao and whispered to remind: "Boss, it's President Zhang Dehui of the Development Bank of Singapore." ”

Pick up the phone.

Tang Bao said unhurriedly: "Hello, President Zhang! I'm Tang Bao......"

"Ah, hello, Mr. Tang." Zhang Dehui hurriedly responded, "First of all, I want to congratulate Mr. Tang on his victory in the Nikkei futures market. ”

A little kind word.

Zhang Dehui changed his words and got down to business: "Mr. Tang, the continuous decline of the Japanese stock market has hit the confidence of many investors, and opponents have successively made requests to our bank. Terminate the VAM agreement early. Do you want to accept the counterparty's request to terminate the VAM agreement early? ”

Ending a VAM early? Throw in the towel?

Tang Bao couldn't help but be stunned, he didn't expect that there were still more than five months before the expiration of the VAM contract, and some people wanted to disarm and surrender. Apparently. The plunge in the Japanese stock market has made opponents feel that there is no hope for a short-term rebound, and they intend to terminate the VAM agreement in time to avoid falling deeper and deeper into the sun.

Seeing that Tang Bao did not reply for a long time. Zhang Dehui hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Tang, the other family has been hit hard by the collapse of the Japanese stock market, and the financial situation is very bad. If you are forced to go bankrupt, your losses may be huge, so it is better to collect it as soon as you see it, and take the opportunity to negotiate with the opponent to terminate the VAM contract and lock in profits. Recently, the Japanese index fell to the bottom of 28,000 points, and it is advantageous to choose to cancel the VAM agreement at this time. ”

"Huh, bankrupt? Isn't there still a guarantor bank? Tang Bao smiled lightly. Apparently he was reluctant to let the counterparty go.

The VAM signed through the Development Bank of Singapore is basically guaranteed by HSBC, Crédit Agricole, UBS, Bank of Mitsubishi, Fuji Bank, etc., and even if the counterparty goes bankrupt and cannot perform, these guarantee institutions will perform on their behalf.

So Tang Bao wasn't too worried.

"Well, that's the way it is, but it will undoubtedly offend the guarantor bank. In fact, some of the opponents' proposals to terminate the VAM agreement in advance were facilitated at the suggestion of the guarantee bank, and they were also worried that the bankruptcy of the opponent would eventually implicate them. HSBC and Crédit Agricole have put pressure on our bank through different channels, hoping to negotiate with the counterparty to terminate the VAM agreement as soon as possible......," Zhang Dehui explained with a wry smile.

Originally.

The VAM agreements were all signed in the name of the Development Bank of Singapore, so HSBC and Crédit France all thought that the counterparty was the Development Bank of Singapore, and they felt that the Development Bank of Singapore had made enough money and should leave a way for the counterparty to survive. What's more, as the situation continues to deteriorate, guarantors such as HSBC and Crédit Agricole will be pushed out to take over the mess, which is intolerable to banking giants such as HSBC, so they join forces to put pressure on the Development Bank of Singapore and ask the other party to accept it when it is good!

Although the Development Bank of Singapore is a state-owned bank, its scale is limited, and it is natural to suffer from the joint pressure of several multinational banking giants.

"Mr. Tang, our bank really can't continue to resist the pressure of banking giants such as HSBC and Crédit Agricole." Zhang Dehui said helplessly.

Ha.

Listening to Zhang Dehui's bitter words, Tang Bao couldn't help laughing, he could imagine the helplessness of the Singapore Development Bank in the face of multinational banking giants.

"Hmm. Now there are two plans, one is a compromise between our bank and HSBC and other banking giants, agreeing to end the VAM agreement with the counterparty in advance and lock in profits. Another plan is for our bank to state that all VAM agreements are signed under your entrustment, so that there will be no reason for HSBC and other banking giants to continue to put pressure on me. Zhang Dehui said what he thought.

Zhang Dehui's meaning is very clear.

If you agree to terminate the VAM agreement in advance, then the Development Bank of Singapore will still carry it for you, and it will not expose that Tang Bao is the person behind the VAM agreement. Otherwise, he could only expose Tang Bao's existence and deal with banking giants such as HSBC and Crédit Agricole.

"From what I've got, HSBC has put pressure on political channels, and I can't stop it. I'm so sorry. Mr. Tang! Zhang Dehui said apologetically.

Call.

Tang Bao took a deep breath, he also knew that Zhang Dehui was only the president of a state-owned bank, and when it came to a higher political level, it was difficult for him to resist at all. If HSBC and the Singapore government exchange interests, Zhang Dehui can only compromise, otherwise Tang Bao can only be exposed.

"Hmm...... Well, agree to the other party's request and terminate the VAM agreement with the counterparty in advance. Tang Bao thought for a while and agreed to Zhang Dehui's suggestion.

Over time, counterparties will certainly struggle to fulfill. Refusing to terminate the VAM agreement ahead of schedule is undoubtedly tantamount to intending to cut meat on giants such as HSBC, Crédit Agricole, and Bank of Mitsubishi. Offending so many banking giants at the same time, even Tang Bao has to think carefully.

After all. Even if Tang Bao is worth a lot of money, it is difficult to avoid dealing with these banking giants. Just like East West Bank, which is still in the period of consolidation, if it expands its banking business to Europe in the future, it will inevitably face giants such as HSBC, Crédit Agricole, and UBS, which will undoubtedly add obstacles to the future development path. Compared with these giants, East West Bank is still very immature and cannot withstand the severe impact.

Again.

Tang Bao has been in the limelight lately. As soon as he disclosed to the outside world, he had made more than $40 billion in the Japanese futures market, and if it broke out that he had signed a large number of Nikkei VAM agreements in the Singapore market, it would undoubtedly further confirm the rumors that he was leading the destruction of the Japanese stock market and put himself on the cusp.

"Whew."

Zhang Dehui heard that Tang Bao agreed to end the VAM agreement ahead of schedule. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then, he hurriedly promised: "Mr. Tang, please rest assured, I will try my best to win more benefits." Well. In addition, no outsider will ever know that you have signed these VAM agreements. ”

Zhang Dehui is also a shrewd person, and after seeing Tang Bao weigh it, he agreed to terminate the agreement. Apparently unwilling to expose his existence.

"Well, okay, I believe in President Zhang's ability." Tang Bao said with a smile, and then hung up the phone. He could imagine that this time Zhang Dehui relented and agreed to terminate the VAM agreement, which not only did not offend Tang Bao's side, but also made HSBC, Crédit Agricole, UBS, Mitsubishi Bank and other guarantors and counterparties owe him a big favor, and the potential benefits are incalculable.

There was a moment of silence.

Tang Bao asked Kate to find out Wang Shuo's contact information, since Zhang Dehui was so pressured, then Wang Shuo, who alone helped Tang Bao acquire a large number of Nikkei put options, was afraid that he would encounter a similar situation, and someone would inevitably expect to recover these deadly Nikkei put options.

"Uh, Mr. Tang, how do you know someone wants to call back a Nikkei put option?" Wang Shuo, who received Tang Bao's call, was very surprised.

"Your President Zhang called me and said that the Development Bank of Singapore is under a lot of pressure. I'm sure you're probably in a similar situation here. Tang Bao said with a smile.

"Then what do you mean......" Wang Shuo asked suspiciously.

"Heh, I have agreed to your Mr. Zhang's proposal to terminate the VAM agreement early, after all, I have to leave a way for the opponent to live." Tang Bao said with a light smile.

Leave your opponent alive?

Wang Shuo would not have thought that Tang Bao had such kindness, otherwise he would not have desperately signed a VAM agreement and bought Nikkei put options everywhere before the Japanese stock market plummeted.

But.

Wang Shuo also had to admire Tang Bao's investment vision and courage, he also heard in Singapore that Tang Bao had earned tens of billions of dollars in the Japanese futures market, plus the income in the Singapore market, it was absolutely astronomical, and it was trembling to think about.

While envious and amazed, he was also extremely happy.

Because he helped Tang Bao make a lot of money investing in Nikkei put options in the Singapore market, he will also receive an unimaginable commission.

Maybe.

This commission will be far more than his total income over the past few years.

"The Nikkei put options I acquired have been circulated several times by Goldman Sachs, Salomon Brothers, HSBC and other institutions, and the liquidity in the market is good. The possibility of private coercion is almost non-existent, because there are so many participants that there is no trace of it. Wang Shuo said.

Then.

Wang Shuo continued: "Of course, this does not mean that these options are foolproof, if the seller of the Nikkei put option goes bankrupt, the value of the option may plummet, or even become waste paper. ”

on this.

Tang Bao is naturally also clear, he understands that there is no essential difference between the Nikkei put option and the Nikkei index VAM agreement he signed privately. If he redesigns and packages the VAM agreement he signed privately and sells it to the outside world, it will become a Nikkei put option.

"How to deal with it, you can just see what to do. But you have to leave someone else a way to live......" Tang Bao said with a smile. This was not an order, but a suggestion, after all, he had promised a long time ago that he would give Wang Shuo absolute autonomy. He also wanted to see Wang Shuo's abilities. (To be continued......)
