"Washington whales, that's a good name!"

On the way to the conference hall, Gao Dongfang said with a smile, "You guy is really lucky to have sided with the Federal Reserve." So many institutions around the world surrounded and suppressed you, and they even let you run away unscathed. By the way, you're not unscathed, you're making a lot of money, aren't you? ”

"Are you asking about our earnings?"

Zhong Shi smiled slightly, opened the car window, and looked at the lively street outside, "Although there is a little profit, the amount is not very large." This investment is mainly focused on long-term and hedging, after all, the safety of US bonds is still guaranteed. If I want high yields, I may prefer other capital markets. ”

"You don't care about so much profit?"

Gao Dongfang pretended to exaggerate and sighed, "Compared with you, the ability of our Huatou people is simply not worth mentioning." If I had the ability and level like you, I wouldn't have been scolded in China. ”

"Why have you been under a lot of pressure lately?"

glanced at Gao Dongfang in surprise, Zhong Shi realized that he didn't know when, Gao Dongfang had a lot more gray hair on his head, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyebrows were also a lot deeper, and the whole person looked gray and sluggish, and there was a feeling of exhaustion.

Because of the loss of Zhang Hang's team, Huatou has been criticized in China. At present, Gao Dongfang did not dare to make rash moves, but only chose some bonds with high security and low yields for short-term hedging.

"Yes!"

After a long sigh, Gao Dongfang said faintly, "After Zhang Hang's incident, although the other party has been seriously hit, but for a while, because my team did not have better performance, they took advantage of the topic to play. I want us to come up with a little bit of success in a short period of time. As you know, the market is so chaotic now, with our investment capabilities, as well as various internal and external constraints, how can we come up with a resounding performance in a short period of time? ”

The drama is finally here!

"So that's what I was invited for?"

Zhong Shi asked quietly, "What about the Washington whale?" It's all an excuse, right? ”

At this time, more than half a month has passed since the Fed's high-profile announcement of the implementation of QE, but the aftermath of the whole thing continues to ferment. The well-known media described the Fed as the "Washington whale," the hegemon in the ocean of capital markets. And Tianyu Fund, which bet on the right direction, has also suffered all-round exposure.

However, because of Zhongshi's long-term low-key principles, these originally pervasive media can't dig out more insiders. Not long after the hype, the focus of the media refocused on the Federal Reserve and those funds that failed in this gamble, and Tianyu Fund was lucky to escape a "catastrophe".

However, there are still many people who silently care about the Tianyu Fund. On this day, Zhong Shi received a notice to go to Yanjing to attend a seminar on the trend of the international capital market. According to the content of the notice, the specifications of this seminar are high. The leaders in charge of finance will also be in attendance, so Zhong Shi has no way to refuse.

When landing at the airport, it was Gao Dongfang himself who came to pick him up, and Gao Dongfang kept blowing the wind along the way, Zhong Shi realized that things might not be the same as he thought.

"No, no!"

Gao Dongfang repeatedly denied that "the Fed's decision-making ideas and trends are the focus of our current attention." At this point. You'll be able to get ahead of others and predict where their policies will go. Very impressive. In particular, the person who presided over the meeting today is full of praise for you. This time, it was at his suggestion that we invited experts from Hong Kong. You are one of them, and the other is Mr. Peng, Chief Economist of HSBC. ”

"But according to what I received......"

He glanced at Zhong Shi nervously, and stopped talking, but under Zhong Shi's forced gaze. Eventually, he said, "People on the other side are generally very scornful of you, and may take the opportunity to attack you at the meeting, so you still have to be careful." We will definitely give you your support when necessary. ”

"Give me support?"

Zhong Shi was annoyed. But it was inconvenient to express it, so he snorted coldly at the moment, and said very dissatisfiedly, "You guys have a good plan and just roast me on the fire." Originally, I was just an outsider, but now that I'm a thorn in their side, I'm a thorn in their flesh. ”

"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty." Gao Dongfang glanced at Zhong Shi deeply, didn't continue to speak, closed his eyes and recuperated. Everything he can say has been revealed to Zhong Shi, and the rest depends on how Zhong Shi dismantles his moves.

Zhong Shi glanced at him, and closed his eyes in the same way, but his heart was like turning over the river and the sea, thinking about how to deal with it.

The comer is not good!

The Audi van drove smoothly through the bustling city and stepped into a quiet area, the heart of the whole of China, where the red walls and green tiles stood quietly, as if telling passers-by the majesty of this place. Two heavily armed guards stood guard at the door, and despite the fact that the windshield of the car was plastered with various passes, they carefully checked it before letting it go.

"Here, let's get out of the car first."

Crossing a lake that has been frozen over, the Audi quietly stops in front of a complex of quaint buildings. Gao Dongfang shook off the glass, looked around, and said softly to Zhong Shi.

Because it was the first time to come here, after getting off the bus, Zhongshi couldn't help but take a look at the surrounding scenery. These buildings were built hundreds of years ago and have a strong Ming and Qing architectural style. Compared with the ordinary ancient buildings with white walls and blue tiles, it seems to be much more luxurious, with pavilions, pavilions, garden rockeries, small bridges, corridors, pines and bamboos, etc.

"This used to be the prince's palace, and it was very luxurious!" Gao Dongfang took out a document and handed it to the person who looked like a secretary waiting by the car, then turned around and said to Zhong Shi with a smile, "Mr. Zhong, let's not delay time, let's go in quickly, the meeting is about to start." ”

After carefully verifying the identities of the two men, the secretary-looking man led them into the garden unhurriedly, and after three or four circles back and forth, they arrived at the place where the meeting was held, a large meeting room.

The room was remodeled from the former owner's study, with a pine forest in front of the window. You can see the lake in the distance, and the environment is refreshing. Inside the conference hall, an oval conference table sits in the east and west directions, and the dark red solid wood furniture is shiny, apparently well maintained. There are some ancient Chinese paintings and calligraphy hanging on the walls, but what attracts Zhong Shi's attention the most is that. On the wall behind the central master's position, there is a large block calligraphy banner with thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.

There were already some people in the conference room, and as soon as Gao Dongfang entered the door, he greeted them one by one. But for Zhong Shi, he didn't know any of these people, so he could only nod to everyone awkwardly, and sit a little lonely in the position with his nameplate.

"Although you don't know these people, these are the brains of the country, and they will not be less knowledgeable than you."

After a round of greetings. Gao Dongfang sat in his place at this time, I don't know if it was a coincidence, his position happened to be adjacent to Zhong Shi. After sitting down, he saw that Zhong Shi was bored, and took the initiative to say, "Before making a decision, leaders must refer to the opinions of all parties. These experts and scholars are indispensable, and what they say will guide the introduction of new policies to a certain extent. ”

"I feel like I'm in the wrong place, is this really the place for me?"

Zhong Shi was visibly nervous as well. Rubbing his hands together, he whispered, "I just guessed the Fed's actions." I'm not good at theory. The most important thing is that my business is based in Hong Kong, is it not in line with the national conditions when I propose to make a policy? ”

"Don't worry!"

Just when Gao Dongfang was about to say something, there was a commotion at the door, and then an old man who was not tall walked in. He had a kind face, gentle eyes, and a faint smile, and he was the leader he often saw on television.

"Hello everyone!"

The leader waved his hand slightly to the crowd, and after taking his seat, he opened the notebook in front of him. He solemnly set the pen away, then looked around the conference room, coughed lightly, and said, "Experts and scholars, welcome to participate in this seminar in your busy schedule, and I am here to express my gratitude to all of you. First of all, I would like to make it clear that this is not a serious meeting, and everyone is free to express their opinions and opinions on the relevant issues. I will record these views one by one, and in the next decision-making process, we will further discuss the details, and I hope that experts and friends from all walks of life will give us advice. ”

As he glanced at him, Zhong Shi only felt that his gaze paused slightly on him, as if he was pleased with his presence. Zhong Shi's heart suddenly warmed, and he felt that no matter what the result of his trip was, it was worth it.

The leader spoke softly and softly, without any uncomfortable tone or words, which was very useful to everyone. Most of them were not meeting with this leader for the first time, and they were also familiar with this leader's concise and crisp style.

For Zhong Shi, this was the first time he had contact with this leader, and the feeling of a spring breeze made his eyes shine. He secretly thought in his heart, the media reported that this leader was profound and gentlemanly. Today, it seems that there is indeed no exaggeration.

"The main topic today is the correlation between the domestic economic situation and the Fed's QE policy some time ago."

The leader swiped the notebook for a moment, raised his head and said to the crowd, "I believe everyone already knew about the relevant issues before they came." On January 6, the Federal Reserve announced the implementation of a QE policy with a total amount of $800 billion, with the aim of lowering long-term interest rates and channeling liquidity into the production sector. After the announcement of this policy, it has aroused great concern in our country. The reason why we have not discussed it until now is because it is a medium- to long-term plan, and secondly, we need to communicate with them in some places. Now that the time is ripe, I want to hear what you think. ”

"Elder Li, you come first?"

After the narration, the leader smiled and said to an old man on his right, "It's really troublesome for you to come here in person on such a cold day." ”

The gray-haired old man nodded slightly towards the leader and said, "Since the country needs me, as long as I don't die for a day, I will come out without hesitation." Don't say anything polite, let's get started. ”

Zhong Shi recognized this old man surnamed Li, who was a leading figure in the market economy, and once put forward the concept of "socialist market economy" in the 80s, which caused a sensation throughout the country at that time. This old man, who was wronged in the sixties, is a typical old-school intellectual, with a strong sense of family and country in his bones, and he can be called a master of a generation both in life and learning.

As a university professor, Li Lao is even more powerful, and he has truly achieved the world's peach and plum. Even the leader, who now sits in the middle, studied under him in his early years.

Zhong Shi's eyes narrowed slowly. (To be continued......)
