Chapter 375 - Misfortune Leads to the East
"We have made a major mistake in the derivatives market, with a preliminary estimate of losses of around $2 billion. However, it should be noted that the CIO department and the losses caused by them are not self-operated businesses, nor are they gambling with the company's own capital. ”
"It was an accident. We're going to look for a solution to the whole thing at the shareholder meeting. Frankly, there were loopholes in our internal risk control mechanism that indirectly led to the formation of this transaction. I would like to appeal once again that our case is just an isolated case, and that this incident should not be the target or object of attack for the proprietary business of commercial banks. ”
"For JP Morgan, despite the temporary difficulties, we were able to find other ways to make money to solve the current problem. I will explain the details to shareholders at the general meeting of shareholders......"
"Smack."
It was at this time that the TV was abruptly turned off, and Jamie. Damon's face disappeared from the screen. Instead, a smiling face appeared in front of Zhong Shi in the next moment, and this person was none other than the black president's right-hand man, Andrew Brown. Brian.
"Well done!"
He clapped his palms at Zhong Shi, "I really didn't expect that in less than half a year, you will set off a storm in the market again, and this time the target is actually aimed at our American capital - JP Morgan, the largest institution of Wall Street capital, the king of commercial banks." Such a giant character was brutally cut off by you. Mr. Zhong, I really admire your ability, it is really surprising. ”
"So what?"
Zhong Shi unhurriedly took out a cigarette from his arms, lit one leisurely, and swallowed the clouds for a long time. Only then did he glance at the other party and said lightly, "Did you bring me here just to say these flattering words?" Stop it, and stop talking about this uselessness. If you have something to say, just say it, it's not the first day we've dealt with each other! ”
was broken by Zhong Shi's thoughts. Andrew. The smile on Brian's face suddenly froze, and after being embarrassed for a long time, he said, "I invited you this time because I have a great benefit to you." Whether you believe it or not, I do it with full sincerity. ”
As soon as Zhongshi and Ivana entered the United States, the news was reported to Andrew. Brian. In the beginning, Andrew. Brian was able to bring Bell Stone to Washington, but he waited for a while to figure out the purpose of Bell Stone's trip until the matter of JP Morgan came to light. That's when we took action.
So the two were stopped at JFK Airport, and the plane was temporarily diverted to Washington, D.C., and then Zhong Shi and Ivana were separated, and then the above scene occurred.
"Really?"
Zhong Shi was slightly surprised, but he didn't put Andrew . Brian's words were taken seriously, and he said with a slight mockery, "That's how it was." I thought you were going to help JP Morgan and arrest me as the initiator. It's weird. When did the U.S. government also plan to intervene in the over-the-counter market? ”
Now that the two sides are in different positions, there is no need to be so polite when talking to each other. For Andrew, who almost put himself in danger. Brian said. Zhong Shi didn't have a good impression at all.
"No, no, no!"
As if he didn't hear the ridicule in Zhong Shi's words, Andrew. Brian still had a smile on his face, "We are a completely free market economy, and any government intervention in the market will be criticized." Let's talk about the management of the over-the-counter market. That's what the SEC does, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
"And what exactly do you want to do?"
Zhong Shi felt a little strange, because the other party made it clear that this time he was "invited" to Washington not for JP Morgan's business. In this way, the other party's intention made him a little confused.
"I told you just now, this time I'm going to give you a great benefit, so don't be so guarded!"
Andrew. Brian laughed, smug in his words, "Do you know what the market will think after this happens?" At least for X-Spatial Fund, you are no longer a reliable partner. From now on, the U.S. banking industry will be wary of you, and the same will happen to the hedge fund industry. Rumours will haunt you, perhaps accompanied by malicious sniping. ”
"Anyway, the Tianyu Fund and you will become the enemy of American capital for a while!"
Seeing that Zhongshi fell into deep thought, Andrew. Brian knew that his words were on the other side's heart, "But don't worry too much, after all, this is only a small matter, limited to those institutions that know about the conflict between the government and the European side." Other institutions that are not qualified will only regard this incident as an accident in the market. ”
"So what? I can also invest in Europe! ”
Although the threat in the other party's words was very strong, Zhong Shi was the one who would be easily persuaded, and immediately snorted disdainfully and said, "Could it be that you are planning to expel me and my capital from the United States?" ”
"You're wrong again, Mr. Zhong!"
Andrew. Brian couldn't help but shake his head and said, "The United States and the capital markets of the United States will always welcome players like you. You must know that it is precisely because of the import of capital that the US economy is so strong. A player like you, who drives the joint profitability of the U.S. economy and businesses, how can we reject you? ”
"Not only will we not refuse you, but we will also embrace you warmly with open arms!"
But then he changed his tone and said gloomily, "Of course, under the condition of abiding by the law." Otherwise, no matter what kind of background you have, we will get to the bottom of it! ”
"That's really good news!"
Zhong Shi tilted his head and shrugged his shoulders, stood up and walked out, as he said, "I thank you very much for your sincerity. But if that's all there is, that's the end of our conversation. I have to say, it's a really very boring chat. ”
"There is one more condition!"
Andrew. Brian naturally wouldn't let Zhong Shi go so easily, and then said coldly. "I need you to stop working with the European side immediately. The woman next to you, the agent named Ivana, we've found out the details of her, from the German intelligence agencies. She's supposed to be a spy planted by the Germans on your side, am I right? ”
In such a short period of time, the details of the other side have been ascertained, and it has to be said that the Americans have done a very serious and meticulous job. The efficiency is also very high. However, these things belong to the fairy fight, Zhong Shi didn't want to get involved at all, just nodded speechlessly, and said to Andrew. Brian's offer was neither agreed to nor rejected.
"In return, we will find you a scapegoat, a perfect scapegoat!"
Andrew. Brian said in due course, "So that you can settle your old suspicions with American institutions and continue to be active in the American capital market as a detached person." ”
After he finished speaking. Without waiting for Zhong Shi to say anything, he pressed the button on the remote control on his own care.
The TV screen lit up again, only this time the main character was no longer Jamie. Dimon, but Soros in a dark container.
Yes, it was the video that Soros was coerced into filming.
"It's Zhongshi, he did everything......" Then Soros's voice sounded, and in the video, he blamed Zhongshi for everything.
"It turned out to be him!"
After watching the video in its entirety, Zhong Shi suddenly realized. "It turns out that you have been prepared for a long time, and it is really difficult for you. If I'm not mistaken, the people who coerced Soros should be your people, right? ”
"Yes, exactly!"
Andrew. Brian said proudly, "You probably don't know yet. This guy has been looking for someone to follow you, and I don't know why. But I think the biggest reason is probably that. He's going to hide behind you and wait for an opportunity to short European bonds. It's okay now, it's better for him to carry this charge than for you. ”
"Why him?"
Naturally, shorting Eurobonds is not a crime in the eyes of Wall Street. But betraying the leader who led Wall Street to attack Europe is a crime that directly offends all interest groups on Wall Street. Originally, this crime was borne by the Tianyu Foundation, but now it seems that the US government has other plans.
This intention should be related to JP Morgan's recent blow.
It's just that what Zhong Shi can't figure out is. Why the U.S. government chose Soros.
"It's easy!"
Andrew. Brian smiled and said lightly, "First, because he's famous enough for the market to believe in that." Another point is that he has gradually retreated from the front line in recent years, and even if he is carrying this black cauldron, the loss is not big. ”
"Of course, the most important thing is that your abilities are far above him."
Although reluctant to say this, after a fierce battle of ideas, Andrew . Eventually, Brian said, "More power means more destructiveness." We are not afraid, but we do not want to make an enemy like you. ”
"I really didn't expect that I would become a concern of the U.S. government?"
For Andrew. Bryan said these points, Zhong Shi only pondered for a moment, and then readily accepted this statement. Although he was able to make his old adversary suffer a little, he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance against the U.S. government, "There won't be any other purpose, right?" ”
"This ......"
Andrew. Brian didn't answer, but asked, "You don't seem to be as excited as you imagined." You must know that Soros is your sworn enemy, can't the fact that he is going to be forced to retire satisfy you? ”
"A former rival!"
Zhong Shi pursed his lips, and then corrected the other party's statement, "In fact, after he was defeated from Hong Kong, he is no longer regarded as an opponent by me. The reason why I was wary of him in the past was that I was just worried that he would use some kind of indiscriminate means. You really think too highly of him, and many times his macro judgment has problems, such a person is not worthy of being called my opponent. ”
"yes!"
Zhong Shi's words made Andrew. Brian was silent for a long time before he finally said sincerely, "Where are your opponents in the financial markets now?" I wonder what you'll grow like in the future. So for the sake of the future, we have to maintain a good relationship with you now, even at the expense of one Soros. ”
"If I can protect the interests of large American institutions in Europe, I wonder if such conditions are acceptable?"
The other party's conditions were difficult for Zhong Shi to refuse. Although he can completely ignore all this, if he really offends a large American institution, then the Tianyu Fund is very likely to be in a very disadvantageous position in the future. But so far, he has not been able to offend the governments of Europe. So after weighing the two sides, he proposed a compromise plan, "but for those speculative capital, it still has to be done according to the European side." ”
"Only once!"
Faced with this new condition proposed by Zhong Shi, Andrew . Brian pondered for a long time before finally nodding his head and agreeing, "You can only help the European side one more time, and you can only exclude our big institutions." Otherwise, the whole thing is probably beyond your control. ”
Zhong Shi nodded silently.
"In addition, the president is preparing for the general election recently, and he is a little nervous at hand, do you think he wants to sponsor a little?"
At the end of the conversation, Andrew . Brian suddenly made a gesture to count the bills, saying something that stunned Zhongshi. (To be continued.) )
