Chapter 457 The Throne of the Mountains
"I see!"
Listened to Jamie in silence. After Dimon's words, Zhong Shi just said softly and hung up the phone. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Bell Stone is very strange that he and Jamie. Dimon doesn't have too many deep friendships, so why did the other party call for no reason. After listening to the whole phone call, he immediately understood that this was killing people with a knife.
Although said Jamie. Dimon had bad intentions, but it was difficult for Zhongshi to refuse the olive branch delivered by the other party. A crisis in a behemoth commercial bank is a rare occurrence for many years, and X-Spatial Fund will never miss such a great opportunity.
"What are you going to do?"
Jiang Shan, who rushed to hear the news, was very excited, and asked Zhong Shi again and again, "It seems that they are in big trouble with lawsuits, and they want to make more profits by expanding high-risk and high-return derivatives trading." The news from JP Morgan is a signal that the traditional deposit and loan business has long been unable to meet the possibility of profit growth on the German side. Originally, their fixed income business accounted for about 30% of total assets, but now it seems that this proportion may be further expanded. ”
Since the news of Deutsche Bank's fake accounts broke out, Jiang Shan has been immersed in the work of this commercial banking giant, so now all kinds of data can be easily obtained.
Zhong Shi has not forgotten the humiliation he received at the headquarters of Deutsche Bank, and neither has Jiang Shan.
"To deal with such a behemoth, we must be cautious."
"Since 2007, Deutsche Bank's stock price has been in a downward channel, and it has fallen by at least 40% so far. It can be said that this trend accurately reflects the market's concerns about its earnings prospects. However, even today, when the lawsuit is entangled, Deutsche Bank has not caused much negative problems, and the market does not think that such a bank will be in crisis, so at least for now, it is difficult for us to take advantage of them. ”
"Zhong Sheng, what do you mean?"
Savoring Zhong Shi's words, Jiang Shan's expression suddenly froze, and he stammered for a while, "You...... You're not going to bring it down, are you? ”
Although Deutsche Bank has a net worth of only tens of billions of euros on its books, it does not look like a very outstanding company. But its total assets are as high as 1.6 trillion euros, and its total debt is 1.5 trillion euros, which means that they have far more money at their disposal than their net worth.
If such a company goes bankrupt, the repercussions will not be limited to Germany or Europe, but can affect the global financial industry and even the world economy.
is such a company, Zhong Shi actually subconsciously wants to completely defeat it, how can this not surprise Jiang Shan?
"No company can last forever, no matter how big its assets, how old it is, or how deep its background is."
Zhong Shi didn't answer directly, but said leisurely, "The Kaminari brothers who have survived for a hundred years are a lesson from the past. Although Deutsche Bank is currently large, it is not without its weaknesses. Just like now, there were major mistakes in decision-making, and within a few years they would go into recession, and it was not impossible to be destroyed. ”
"That's true, but if we want to do this now, I always think it's impossible!"
Jiang Shan was dumbfounded, and shook his head with a wry smile for a while, "I have to say, I never thought about this." At least from this point of view, I am far from yours. ”
"No, you won't be inferior to mine forever."
Zhong Shi sat up straight suddenly, looked at Jiang Shan with burning eyes, and said, "I plan to let you be in charge of attacking Deutsche Bank for the whole thing, do you have any confidence?" ”
"What?"
Although he has always been eager to be on the throne, Jiang Shan knows very well that it is more important to be able to learn a little more by Zhong Shi's side during this time, so he has not been in charge of any major cases. Suddenly hearing the news, he jumped up in surprise, his face full of incredulity, "I...... I'm in charge of the whole thing? ”
"Not bad!"
As if expecting Jiang Shan to react like this, Zhong Shi smiled slightly, pressed his palm downward, signaling that the other party didn't need to be so excited, "You have been with me for a while, and you must have a certain understanding of my methods, and I think it's time for you to take the lead." And most importantly, this matter does not need to involve macroeconomic judgment, just a simple sniping operation. Success is good, but if you fail, the loss will not be too big, so it's just right for you to practice. ”
Unleashing a sniping operation against Deutsche Bank could be a big deal for the hedge fund industry around the world. But in Zhong Shi's eyes, it was just a less important matter.
"I ...... I ......"
Jiang Shan stammered for a long time, unable to say a word.
At this time, he was very entangled in his heart, on the one hand, he repeatedly told himself that he could not miss such an opportunity, but on the other hand, he kept alerting himself, in case of messing up, the consequences would be very serious, and he might lose a lot of money. So he was very conflicted, and it was difficult to choose for a while.
"There aren't many things in this world that are worth pursuing......"
Silently watching Jiang Shan pondering, Zhong Shi took out a cigarette from his arms, took a deep breath, and said leisurely, "So I plan to give the opportunity to you young people." It doesn't matter if you lose something, just earn it back. You don't have a psychological burden, although I have always trained you as a manager of public funds, but in this world where the law of the jungle prevails, even if you want to be a sheep, you must have the ferocity of a wolf, otherwise you will not survive at all. ”
"So far, you have seen the fierce side of me, including the process of dealing with the heads of the US government, the German government, etc., and these experiences will help you avoid the dangerous side of the world in the future. But after these disruptions, the market will return to order, and we will have to change our style in due course to accommodate future developments. ”
"There aren't too many opponents in this world anymore. If we continue like this, one day in the future, we will be hunted by others. Instead of waiting for that day to come by doing nothing, it is better to actively change now. Do you think I'm right? ”
"Are you planning to retire?"
Zhong Shi's words made Jiang Shan feel horrified, and he couldn't help but blurt out, "If it weren't for you, the Tianyu Fund would have lost its backbone and would be finished soon." ”
Originally, Jiang Shan was just thinking about whether he wanted to accept such an opportunity, but after listening to Zhong Shi's words of confiding in his heart, he vaguely felt that Zhong Shi actually had the idea of retreating bravely, and this thought made him shudder.
Zhong Shi's private life, Jiang Shan knows a little. Recently, Zhong Shi seems to be dating the female star named Luo Xin'er, of course, the news is controlled within a certain range, and not many people know about it. Jiang Shan thinks that the reason why Zhong Shi has such a decadent idea may be related to his emotional state.
"That's why I need you to take over as soon as possible!"
Looking at Jiang Shan's flickering gaze, Zhong Shi grinned and said nonchalantly, "I have no plans to retire, although I can retire a long time ago." However, I am now thinking about the transition, because I realize that X-Spatial Fund is becoming more and more a threat to the financial markets of various countries. I will not retire until I find a fully qualified successor. I'll leave this matter of Deutsche Bank to you now, just to see how much skill you have learned from me. If you can deliver a satisfactory answer, then the transformation of our entire fund will be accelerated, otherwise I will have to work hard for a while. ”
"I agreed to this!"
I don't know why, Jiang Shan suddenly burst out with an inexplicable courage, and immediately said without thinking, "Isn't it just a Deutsche Bank, I want to see what is so great about it." ”
Of course, after the rhetoric, he regretted it a little. It's just that the words have already been spoken, and even regretting it won't help.
"Tell me about your thoughts."
Zhong Shizhi stared at Jiang Shan stunned for a long time, and finally smiled with satisfaction, "Now is the time to see how much you learn." ”
At this moment, Jiangshan had a feeling of being deceived. Zhong Shi had behaved like a man on the verge of death, and his words were full of despair. But at the moment when he came down, Zhong Shi returned to normal, and he was still the existence that stood tall above and looked down on all beings.
"Derivatives market!"
After a little thought, Jiang Shan gave an answer that made Zhong Shi happy, "Since Deutsche Bank is so eager to expand their derivatives positions, then risk management and professionals may not be able to keep up in the short term, and in this case, we have a great opportunity to deal a heavy blow to them." ”
"Okay, five billion dollars will be all your money!"
Zhong Shi nodded approvingly, gave a number that made Jiang Shan stunned, and then said, "Of course, you won't be alone in the whole thing, after all, this number is still a little less, and I plan to find you a few assistants." ”
With that, he picked up the phone.
"It won't be ......"
Jiang Shan trembled with excitement, and couldn't help thinking in his heart about what kind of assistant Zhong Shi would find for him. Of course, what he wants most are those American hedge fund bigwigs, and it would be great if he could cooperate with them.
Sure enough, it didn't disappoint him, but after Zhong Shi picked up the phone, the first person found John. Paulson, "John, I have an action, I wonder if you're interested?" ”
"Of course I am!"
John on the other end of the phone. Paulson, though confused, agreed without the slightest hesitation. (To be continued.) )
