Chapter 295 - The European Consortium (8)
"European consortia are selling the euro, but the price is still above 1.2."
One day after Canada's interest rate hike, the European Union announced last month's economic data, which turned out to be surprisingly poor, with the unemployment rate reaching 10.1%, a new high in Europe in a decade; European growth in the first quarter was revised to 0.2%, indicating that the economic recovery in the eurozone is slowing.
Even more worrying for the market is that the European managers' purchasing index fell sharply, from 57.6 in the previous month to 55.8 in May, and confidence in manufacturing investment is falling.
Immediately after the release of this data, there was a frenzy of selling the euro, as this figure far exceeded market expectations, and so far the euro is approaching the price level of 1.21.
"The European banks have called three times and twice, and it looks like they are going to give in!"
"So far, we can earn more than 200 million euros, and with the income from options, we can earn at least 500 million euros." ”
Although this was only a short-term test of the waters, Zhongshi went all out and went short in the futures and options market.
"Inform them that the position is ready to be closed!"
Zhong Shi laughed twice and waved his hand casually, "I believe they should be satisfied this time." ”
"Okay!"
Jiang Shan got the order and made a phone call excitedly, but the next moment his hand stopped, and he looked at Zhong Shi with a puzzled face, "Zhong Sheng, you said to let them close the position, what about us?" ”
He didn't hear Zhong Shi talk about the Tianyu Fund, and suddenly realized that Zhong Shi seemed to have something to say, and as soon as this thought came to him, he realized that maybe Zhong Shi still had something to explain.
"We?"
Zhong Shi's eyes showed an approving look, "If I'm right." Europe has already taken full action, and I don't know when the next time we will get such an opportunity. ”
"You...... Are you trying to ......?"
Jiang Shan obviously heard something, his face changed, and he stammered and asked, "Zhong Sheng." If we don't close the position, we have to continue? ”
After a pause, he added, "Leave them behind and continue?" ”
Whether it was Zhong Shi's idea of continuing, or Zhong Shi's decision to abandon his companions, Jiang Shan was extremely surprised. In his impression, Zhong Shi has always been a character who takes the overall situation into account and leads everyone forward, and now it is incredible that all of this is going to be turned upside down.
"Not bad. Leave them behind, of course! ”
Zhong Shi didn't have the slightest sense of shame or guilt for Jiang Shan's questioning, and after glaring at Jiang Shan, who was still in a daze, he explained lightly, "Jiang Shan, you are still too immature. ”
"For this alliance, although on the surface everyone is united around me, my opinion prevails. But actually you see it too. Everyone is playing their own small agenda, and even Paulson has a different opinion. What does this mean? It can only show that this alliance is based on interests. Once there is a dispute in front of interests, it will fall apart. ”
"I dare say that there are people now who are secretly closing positions in the market without informing me. That being the case, why should the greatest profits be dedicated to them? We are in a cooperative relationship, not a blood alliance. Even if it's a blood alliance. There is also a day of betrayal. ”
"Of course, we don't have to let them know what we're doing, we just need to maintain a semblance of peace."
"Okay, I got it!"
Jiang Shan quickly figured out the truth, and he glanced at Zhong Shi with admiration. The U.S. side was immediately notified.
"So, Zhong Sheng, what are we going to do?"
After doing all this, Jiang Shan sat down next to Zhong Shi with a hippie smile, "Zhong Sheng, I admire you so much now." I didn't expect that after one of your back moves, there was another back move hidden. Can you tell me what exactly you're trying to do? ”
"Do you remember a few months ago when we visited an inside line in Germany?"
Zhong Shi lit a cigarette and said slowly, "After some conversation with him, I came up with an idea, but I never told anyone about it. ”
"What thoughts?"
Jiang Shan also took out a cigarette from the cigarette case in the same way, but after he took a sharp breath, he was choked by the hot smell and coughed repeatedly, and it took a while to barely calm down, and asked curiously, "I remember that guy has the black material of a German parliamentarian in his hand, and this guy is really bold enough to dare to do such a thing." ”
"If he can use the dignitaries in Germany, why can't we use the dignitaries of other countries?"
Zhong Shi smiled and flicked the ashes of his cigarette, as if to say something insignificant, "Why can't we take advantage of it?" ”
"What?"
Jiang Shan was frightened by Zhong Shi's words, and the cigarette in his hand fell to his thigh, burning him for a while, and after a long time of confusion, he said in a trembling voice, "Zhong Sheng, you are playing bigger and bigger now." ”
The most egregious thing Bell Stone has done so far has been to privately instigate a nationwide general strike in Greece, but it must be noted that these strikes would have taken place without Bell Shek's involvement, and that Bell Stone had merely acted as a catalyst. Other than that, he didn't cross the line again.
And once it really gets involved in politics, the nature of the whole thing becomes different. Jiangshan is well aware that the complexity and darkness of the methods of politicians are unimaginable to ordinary people. So when he heard that Zhong Shi was going to get involved in politics, he realized that something was wrong.
"What, you're scared?"
Zhong Shi glanced sideways at the other party and said softly in a chilling tone, "If you're scared, then it's too late to quit!" ”
Hearing Zhong Shi's unkind tone, Jiang Shan didn't even hesitate for a moment, and immediately patted his chest and said: "Zhong Sheng, don't worry, as long as you point to, I will guarantee to hit wherever I go." But then again, getting involved in politics is too dangerous, and you still have to think twice about it! ”
"Of course it's not the authorities, we can't buy this!"
Seeing that Jiang Shan was so loyal, Zhong Shi was naturally very satisfied and patted the other party's shoulder. He smiled and said, "No matter how rich we are, it is impossible for us to let the authorities of a country use them for me." But have you ever thought about it, the ruling party cannot be used, but what about the opposition parties? And what about those who are depressed in the government? ”
"I see!"
Jiang Shan completely understood now and breathed a sigh of relief. With some apprehension, he said, "If it's an opposition party, it's much easier." At the very least, the outside world will think that they sometimes speak out of dissatisfaction with the current government. ”
"Yes, that's what I thought!"
Zhong Shi slammed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, Huo Ran got up, and said in a firm tone, "It doesn't matter if France is likely to be relegated." Or Canada's interest rate hike and Australia's pause in interest rate hikes, are beyond our control. This is no longer a confrontation that we can get, and even if we can offer a very high price, it is impossible for the three major rating agencies to talk nonsense, because after being cleaned up by the US government, they will inevitably restrain themselves. So I had to change my thinking a little bit and change the object of possible manipulation from the outside to the inside of Europe. ”
He said as he removed his suit from the hanger. He walked out without looking back.
Seeing Zhong Shi's actions, Jiang Shan hurriedly followed. At the same time, he did not forget to ask: "Zhong Sheng, where are we going?" ”
"Go talk to our connector!"
Zhong Shi patiently explained, "Since we are starting from within Europe, then we naturally have to contact each other first to see if the other party has the possibility of cooperation, otherwise everything will be in vain." ”
"Oh. By the way, what's going on with our long-term options for shorting the euro right now? ”
Walking to the door, Zhong Shi suddenly remembered something, and couldn't help but turn back to Jiang Shan and ask, "I remember that our position is at least as much as $50 billion." How has it been so far? ”
"Betting on dollar long options and euro short options, plus some leverage, has risen by more than 30% so far."
Jiang Shan took out the mobile phone in his arms, opened a page, and after carefully examining it, he replied with a smile, "So far, we have more than $15 billion in earnings, which is enough to ensure that our yield will increase by more than 5% this year." I haven't counted the gains on gold futures yet! ”
He was very proud, because the whole market was bleak, and the Tianyu Fund, which has a capital scale of more than 100 billion US dollars, was able to achieve a return of more than 5%, which was enough to shock the entire market.
"Let the traders be prepared to close all these options and take long euro and short dollar options positions when I give the signal."
For such a huge number, Zhong Shi hummed noncommittally, and then said something that made Jiang Shan's face change, "Yes, I think the euro is about to bottom out, and now we have to change our strategy." ”
"Ah......h
The corners of Jiang Shan's mouth twitched rapidly, his two eyes were round, and he stared at Zhong Shi in a daze, until he was completely sure of Zhong Shi's words, and then he asked in a low voice, "Zhong Sheng, do we really want to turn?" ”
"Of course!"
Zhong Shi glared at the other party in displeasure and continued to walk out, "I have already said that from the speed with which France, Spain and other countries have dealt with the rumors, it can be seen that the eurozone countries are close to being single-minded, and even if there is any news in this case, it will be clarified in a day or two at most." So there are not many opportunities left for us to continue to short the euro, so why do we have to continue to wait if we don't turn around at this time? ”
"Do you want to inform ......?"
Jiang Shan blurted out, but after meeting Zhong Shi's stern gaze, he suddenly stopped abruptly like a duck that had been choked by the neck.
Speechless all the way, the two soon came to the airport, and after boarding the plane through the VIP channel, Jiang Shan cautiously asked, "Zhong Sheng, where are we going?" ”
"Hungary!"
Zhong Shi just glanced at the other party and closed his eyes, obviously not meaning to continue.
"What if persuasion doesn't succeed?"
After quickly revising the political landscape of Hungary in his mind, Jiang Shan sadly realized that he knew almost nothing about the country. However, he was not worried about this, but there was still a question lingering in his mind, "If we can't achieve the goal of this trip, then what should we do, or continue to reverse?" ”
"If we can't convince the other side, then we can only continue to make a fuss about Spain!"
Although Zhong Shi closed his eyes, he could still hear Jiang Shan's words, "Besides, I don't believe that there is no one in this world who can't be bought." The market may be immune to rumors from unknown sources, but what if it's from within? ”
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but sneer twice.
"Besides, you may not have noticed, but I did!"
He continued, "Recently, in the German newspapers, including the Merkel government, there is growing discontent, because Germany pays the largest price in the entire eurozone. It's impossible to say that there is no discontent, and this public opinion can also be exploited by us, isn't it? ”
"When the crisis came, all the clowns from all walks of life came out!"
His voice became deeper and lower, and in the end, he couldn't tell whether he was talking to Jiang Shan or talking to himself. (To be continued.) )
