Chapter 247: The Battle of Gold (1)
"Yes, it's gold!"
Excited, Paulson clapped his hands, stood up and paced back and forth, muttering, "Now it's finally gold's turn." I've been ready for a long time, come on, my friends, let's pull up the gold quickly! ”
His performance was completely different from that of the steady and mature Paulson, and everyone who watched was stunned.
"How?"
Sensing the silence, Paulson thought about it for a while, and then understood, scratched his head embarrassedly, and explained, "I'm just too excited." Gentlemen, don't look at me anymore. Let's focus on the gold market, our chance has come! ”
"First of all, we have a long position in gold, so our preparations are done. In addition, taking advantage of the Greek debt crisis, we can take the opportunity to speculate on the price of gold futures and wait until the right time to make a big profit. ”
"At least that's a lot more than there are now!"
Finally he said categorically, "Gentlemen, what are you waiting for? ”
He was not wrong, and with the fact that he controlled a portion of the source of gold production, it was technically and theoretically possible. The thought of being able to make much more profit than it is now makes everyone's blood boil!
Except for one person, Bell Stone!
"I disagree!"
Just when the crowd was excited and ready to do a big job, they heard Zhong Shi say lightly.
Although the voice was soft, the objection fell on everyone's ears like a thunderbolt from the sky, which made them instantly numb, and everyone, including Paulson, was dumbfounded.
"Why?"
Paulson was the first to react, puzzled.
The feeling of being poured from head to tail with a basin of cold water. It's just so uncomfortable. Paulson's feeling at this time was like this, and a raging fire finally rose in his heart, but the next moment it turned into cold ashes, and this extreme contrast made him almost vomit blood.
He's going to ask!
"Your pattern isn't big enough!"
Zhong Shi slowly raised his head, glanced at the people who were staring at him, and then said lightly. "If we follow your method, all we can earn is a small profit."
He cocked up one index finger and tapped his nail with his other, "Look, there's only so many!" But I'm going to be so big! ”
After speaking, he opened his hands and drew a huge circle out of thin air, "This is what I want!" Gentlemen. Are you sure you want his, or mine? ”
There was no answer, and there was silence.
But compared to the silence just now, the others behaved markedly differently. They all had red eyes, gasping for breath, and looked excited.
Paulson's suggestion was enough to impress them, but it paled in comparison to Bell Stone's. If Paulson's proposal is at the billion-dollar level. Then they understand that the scale of Zhongshi is at the level of tens of billions of dollars.
In front of tens of billions of dollars. Is there anyone in this world who is not impressed?
"How?"
Swallowing saliva frequently, licking his lips uncontrollably, and his Adam's apple uncontrollably stirring, Paulson was excited for a long time before he asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Mr. Zhong." Are you telling the truth? How does it work? ”
Compared with billion-dollar transactions, tens of billions of dollars are not only much larger in scale, but also involve more influencing factors. For example, politics, for example, the economy, for example, other conglomerates. How much is this complex game ten times more than a billion dollars?
Paulson was worried about whether Bell Stone would be able to handle it.
His words. Others understood. Immediately, the frenzy in their hearts subsided considerably, and was replaced by a contemplative face. Indeed, when they returned to their sanity, they began to seriously consider the feasibility of the whole thing.
"Rest assured, everything is in plan!"
I saw Zhong Shi say lightly, "In short, the top priority, what we have to do is to suppress the gold price as much as possible, absorb more chips, and raise the gold price when the time is right." Only when we have enough chips on hand can we make more profits. ”
"But ......"
Dai Lio thought about it for a while, and finally couldn't help but say, "Even if we invest a lot, the gold resources we control alone may not be enough to cause a large-scale rise, right?" ”
"Yes!"
Jim. Chanos echoed, "Even if the three major gold companies jointly announce production cuts, or if there is an accident together, it is unlikely to shake the gold market too much." And if it works this way, the traces of manipulation are too obvious. If you want to be in the kind of situation you are talking about, unless there is something big that stirs up the whole world. Events like another war between Europe and Russia, this is possible. But this is clearly not possible. ”
As a top short guru, Jim. Chanos's skills are not only in shorting, you must know that the other side of shorting is long. As long as things are reversed, emptiness is many, and many's emptiness.
The others didn't speak, but nodded yes.
"Do you think the debt crisis is over now?"
Zhong Shi did not answer immediately, but looked at the crowd meaningfully and asked meaningfully, "You may be satisfied with the current situation, but you have forgotten the original purpose, we want the whole of Europe to be in turmoil, not just Greece. ”
"You're right, but ......"
Paulson's face was a little ugly, and after thinking for a while, he said, "We can only agitate and control some of the rating agencies, but we can't fully control the financial situation of these countries." Besides, there's no way they're going to let us get involved, are they? ”
"Not bad!"
Zhong Shi nodded approvingly, "We really can't control the economic situation of other countries, but we can influence it!" ”
"Have you not noticed that since the outbreak of the debt crisis in Greece, the whole southern part of Europe has been in a tense atmosphere? Although, so far, the powerful countries of the eurozone do not mean to abandon Greece. But if one, two, or even more countries are downgraded in their sovereign debt, even France and Germany may not be able to do it. All we have to do is amplify this panic to the maximum during this time! ”
"Just make investors aware of it. Some countries are not safe, and in this case, even the most rational investors are blind. All they can do is find a safer place. And once the money is withdrawn from these countries, we indirectly control their finances. Wait until they are in crisis. We can downgrade them openly, and then the whole world will be a sensation, and the gold market will naturally rise! ”
"That's my plan!"
Zhong Shi waved his hand and said to everyone, "Although I don't know what the effect will be, it is certain that if there is a large-scale loss of foreign capital in the case of their economic situation in the first place, it will definitely have an even worse effect on their financial statements." Gentlemen. Isn't that what we want? ”
"This ......"
Everyone hesitated, and dared to love Zhongshi for a long time, but it was just a plan with a low success rate. However, in order to save each other's face, they did not deny it publicly.
"If that's the case, there's just too much uncertainty about things!"
Dario was the most calm, and after thinking about it for a long time, he finally said slowly, "Not to mention their real financial situation." Even if our lobbying works, I'm afraid it's too late, right? Again. Even if we come forward in person, I'm afraid it won't be too convincing to investors, right? ”
"No, no, no!"
Bell Stone laughed and pointed at Jim. Chanos said, "Gentlemen. You I don't know. But I know that where this person appears, it always causes speculation in the market, doesn't it? ”
Jim. Chanos's expression immediately became embarrassed, not laughing, not laughing. As one of the top bears in this world. Indeed, where he appears, there will always be frequent speculation in the market.
The others had no worries and laughed.
"Plus, we have a magic weapon!"
After chuckling for a while, Zhong Shi said, "Gentlemen, have you forgotten? We're missing one more this time, Bill. Gross, the famous 'Debt King', I can't wait to see him. ”
After his reminder, everyone realized that Gross didn't seem to be on their team from the beginning, and although no one else came in person, they gave a few people enough support, whether in the bond market or in other areas.
"He ......"
Paulson quickly explained, but after a long time of hesitation, he finally let out a long sigh and said regretfully, "Pacific Asset Management is now in a deep struggle, and it is said that there will be a departure between him and the CEO." Now is the critical juncture, he can't leave a single step! ”
"It's so serious?"
They had heard a few months ago that Pacific Investment Management was in a state of infighting, but from what they knew, Gross would definitely win, because this guy was so capable, at least in his field, that he was the only one who existed. But how could they not be shocked that things have come to the point where even Gross could be out?
"Yes!"
Paulson could only smile bitterly at the surprised glances cast by everyone, shrugging his shoulders and making a helpless expression.
"Anyway, now it's time for him to help!"
Zhong Shicai didn't care so much about the part of his plan as early as possible, and said categorically at the moment, "You go and tell him to come to Hong Kong to find me at the right time, I have important things for him to do, and I don't care about the bullshit in his company." If he doesn't, remove him from our team! Hum! ”
Zhong Shi's two sentences were very domineering and unreasonable. But no one thinks there is anything wrong with it, because it is in everyone's interest, and no one will sit idly by; The second is Gross's consecutive absences, which has indeed caused some dissatisfaction among others.
The imbalance in the minds of others is even worse when it comes to the fact that Gross may be the one who has profited the most from Greek bonds.
Paulson nodded silently.
"All right, gentlemen!"
After losing his temper, Zhong Shi put on a smiling face again, "If there is no objection, our focus will be on gold futures in the next stage." In principle, each fund can open as many positions as it wants, and we do not force this. But I would like to remind you that you have seen it in the Greek bonds, so don't do anything you regret it. ”
His words seemed like a threat, but everyone understood that this was actually an opportunity, an opportunity to bet on big things.
If they win, they will make a big profit, probably the most in their investment history. But if you make a mistake, I'm afraid that the amount of loss may be the most in history.
"Grass, I'll definitely bet on a heavy position!"
Out of trust in Bell Stone, Paulson was the first to stand up and promised, "To the best of my ability, I will go long gold!" (To be continued.) )
