Chapter 145: Scuderia Ferrari
"Zhong Sheng, your mastery of the timing of closing positions is really amazing!" When the transaction ended, Ren Ruowei, who had been observing the market for the day, praised sincerely.
On this day, when the price of the won was finally fixed at 1,563 won per dollar, the traders of the Tianyu Fund finally breathed a sigh of relief, and they were already tired and paralyzed, some of them were lying on the chairs and panting, some were lying on their seats and snoring, and more of them ran to the bathroom to smoke, and the heavy smoke made the siren there go off non-stop.
Zhong Shi was also tired enough, this day he has been constantly placing trading orders, adjusting the strategy from time to time according to the changes in the market, sometimes buying and sometimes selling, but most of the time it is still mostly buying. Today's market has added a buying force out of thin air, making the won rise too fast in some periods, and Jong Seok has to occasionally sell some to slow down the upward pressure.
Even so, the won still rose 8.5% on this day, and after last week's plunge, it formed a strong rebound today. Fortunately, Zhong Shi commanded the traders to deal with it with all their might, and finally closed their positions of about 1,000 billion won today, so that their short positions on the won were only a few hundred billion, and they could all be closed in one more trading day.
If there is no other strong bull buying, maybe Zhongshi will be able to close all the positions on this day, but it doesn't make sense to say it now.
"You released that news, right?" Seeing that Zhong Shi didn't say anything, Ren Ruowei dared to continue to ask.
"Message?" Zhong Shi touched his chin and thought about it. With a puzzled face, he said slowly after a while, "I didn't understand it a little." The news I released is obviously Tiger Fund, why is there another rumor about Quantum Fund in the market? ”
"What?" This Ren Ruowei was completely stunned, stared at Zhong Shi's eyes for a full minute, and then sighed, and said dejectedly, "Zhong Sheng, I really convinced you now." ”
Today's rare sharp rally in the won was due to two rumors of unknown origin that suddenly popped up in the market. Hedge funds that are short in the U.S. have begun to unwind their positions. Among them, the Quantum Fund and the Tiger Fund are the leaders. As soon as these two rumors came out, coupled with the fact that there has been an unknown large buyer in the won market in the past two days, the short seller suddenly messed up, and traders began to buy the won frantically. Trying to be able to close the position at the first time.
It's just that the buy positions of large institutions have long been hung up at a high level. Plus transactions on interbank calls. As a result, these traders simply could not buy enough won for a while, which forced them to increase their chips, causing the exchange rate of the won to rise rapidly. Eventually, at the end of the day's trading, the won regained its position above 1,600.
Typical herd effect, fundamental analysis at this time has completely ineffected, everyone is following the "head sheep" to operate. Although there is no evidence to support the liquidation of Tiger Fund and Quantum Fund on this day, this does not stop the panic of the bears, after all, the prestige of the two funds in the same industry is too loud, and most people want to follow them.
Since he couldn't figure it out, Zhong Shi simply stopped thinking about it, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then said to Ren Ruowei with a smile: "Old Ren, this time you have a lot of credit, I decided to take out 1% of the profit this time to reward all employees, they have worked too hard during this time, what do you think?" ”
Ren Ruowei lowered his head and calculated for a long time, and when he raised his head again, his face was full of surprise, and he said: "Zhong Sheng, according to my preliminary calculations, this time I will earn at least more than 2 billion US dollars in this part, and 1% is 20 million US dollars, so that everyone can get at least 400,000 US dollars, is it too much money?" ”
"Is it much?" Zhong Shi smiled, "Since that's the case, then don't pay dividends, cancel it." ”
"Don't!" Looking at Zhong Shi's slightly weird smile, Ren Ruowei's heart moved, and blurted out, "It's better to follow your plan, everyone is really hard during this time, just say me, I've lost a few pounds, it's time to make up for it." ”
After finishing speaking, he still felt a little uneasy, and added: "Zhong Sheng, you must not spread the word about what I just said, if you let these boys know that I am hindering the dividend, they promise to kill me on the spot." ”
"Of course!" Jong Seok then squeezed off the cigarette butt, jumped onto a trading table, and slapped his palms twice to draw everyone's attention to him, before he said loudly, "Guys, according to my estimates, we can make at least $3 billion on won this time." In order to reward everyone for their hard work during this time, I decided to take 2% of this part of the profit as a dividend reward, which is a full $60 million. ”
When he finished speaking, everyone looked at each other, and they didn't react for a while, and the scene was quiet.
Ren Ruowei was also stunned, what he discussed with Zhong Shi just now was not this number, so that everyone could get at least 1.2 million US dollars, which was close to 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which was definitely a huge number.
It is no wonder that in fact, most of the people who have stayed in the Tianyu Fund in the past few years have invested their basic salaries and dividends in the internal fund, which means that they also have a share in every penny they earn now, although the management fee and excess return part are much less than those funds that are open to the outside world, but some of them will still flow back into their pockets.
And everyone knows that the largest share of this part of the fund is Zhong Shi himself, and if this reward plan is followed, the party with the biggest loss is Zhong Shi himself.
Seeing that there was no boiling cheer as he expected, Zhong Shi's face was a little unbearable, he stomped his foot suddenly, only to hear a loud "clang", this time everyone reacted, and someone began to applaud first, the applause became louder and louder, mixed with whistles and screams. After everyone reacted, the atmosphere of the scene also reached a climax, and the earth-shattering cheers came one after another, almost shattering the glass curtain wall.
Zhong Shi was finally happy, and waved his hand with a smile, signaling everyone to be quiet. After the scene fell silent, he continued: "This time has been hard for everyone, so I decided to give everyone a month-long vacation. The time is January next year, and you can take the money to go on vacation to various parts of the world and come back in February. Other than that. I have one more request. It's just that when you come back, you're going to change all your mounts, I don't care if you drove a Toyota, a Land Rover, or whatever, and then you will all change to a Ferrari. ”
Hear this inexplicable order. Everyone was stunned again. After looking at each other in bewilderment. Finally, someone shouted: "Zhong Sheng, are you not democratic enough?" You know, a Ferrari can cost tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars, and we're not as rich as you. ”
As soon as these words came out. Immediately, everyone burst into laughter, this was obviously a joke, you must know that they had just gotten a promise of $1.2 million in dividends per person, how could they not pay for a sports car.
Zhong Shi also laughed, and after leaning forward and back for a long time, he put on a straight face and pretended to be serious and said: "Since I talk about democracy, then I will be autocratic once." If anyone does not do what I command, then I will throw him into it. As he spoke, he waved his hand and pointed to Victoria Harbour opposite.
Although Zhilu said that he was joking, everyone invariably shrunk their necks and showed a frightened expression. Among them, the analyst who spoke just now hid directly behind the backs of others.
"Hey, you said Zhong Sheng, what are you going to do when you suddenly become so high-profile?" Taking advantage of the chaos, Ma Jiarui took the opportunity to squeeze to Ren Ruowei's side, looked at Zhong Shi, who was standing on a high place, and asked in an inaudible voice.
"Rejoice!" Ren Ruowei also felt strange, he didn't turn his head, his eyes were still staring at Zhong Shi, and he also replied in an unusually low voice, "After all, he is a young man, and it is understandable to be frivolous." ”
Ma Jiarui's brows jumped a few times quickly, and he asked with some concern, "I'm afraid not." Think about it, when did Zhong Sheng do such a high-profile thing? He must have some deep meaning, otherwise he would not have changed his style all of a sudden, from low-key and pragmatic to high-profile and flamboyant. ”
"You're thinking too much!" Although he had similar questions in his heart, Ren Ruowei still shook his head slightly, "If it comes, then it will be safe, let's take one step at a time, Zhong Sheng's mind is not something we can guess." ”
"That's just as well!" Ma Jiarui nodded approvingly, quietly moved his steps, and began to applaud with the others.
After talking for five minutes and arranging everything during the vacation, Zhong Shi jumped off the trading desk, glanced at Ma Jiarui, and strode back to his office.
After Ma Jiarui closed the door, Zhong Shi glanced outside with a solemn face, and after closing the blinds, he asked, "How did the Quantum Fund respond?" ”
Ma Jiarui was in charge of the rupiah transaction, but because of Zhong Shi's intervention, he didn't do much work, and these positions were sold to the Quantum Fund. Now Zhong Shi asked him to take over this part of the work, although Ma Jiarui didn't know what was going on, he still did things according to Zhong Shi's instructions meticulously.
"The other party agreed, but the price has not yet been negotiated, but a senior partner over there will fly to Hong Kong to meet with us in the next two days, but I don't know if it is Soros." Ma Jiarui replied respectfully, with a faint look of expectation on his face.
"Hmph, no matter who comes, they don't want to take these profits anymore." Zhong Shi sneered twice and said disapprerovingly.
Seeing his performance, Ma Jiarui also smiled. Yes, at today's closing price, the rupiah to the US dollar has fallen to the level of IDR 5,800 per dollar, a drop of up to 13.3%. If you don't make another move, the Quantum Fund's rupiah position will really become a pile of waste paper.
can make Soros, who is famous all over the world, suffer such a big loss unknowingly, I'm afraid there are few people in the world. As soon as he thought of this, he looked at Zhong Shi with a confident face, and unconsciously, Ma Jiarui's admiration for Soros in his heart faded a little.
……
One morning, more than a month later, in the bustling downtown of Central, Hong Kong, a neat line of red Ferraris suddenly appeared, with new paint and shiny wheels reflecting the early morning sun, almost blinding passers-by. Although such luxury cars are not uncommon in Hong Kong, there are very few scenes of a whole row of brand-new Ferraris in unison, and although it is during the morning rush hour, there are still many citizens who are rushing to start construction and stop to look at this scene in amazement.
According to the statistics of well-intentioned people, there were at least 50 Ferrari sports cars that appeared in Central on this day. This news has also attracted the attention of the media, and knowing that such a scene has occurred in the current economic downturn has naturally attracted the attention of reporters. Soon, the name of Tianyu Fund spread throughout Hong Kong's financial circles. (To be continued......)
