"About Soros ......"

After banging on the table for a long time, Zhong Shi asked hesitantly, "Have you heard anything about him recently?" ”

If he hadn't made a deal with the Fed by mistake last time, Zhongshi would have really been planted in the 10-year U.S. Treasury market. In the subsequent review, Zhong Shi realized that he chose the 10-year U.S. Treasury bond at the beginning, and was largely influenced by Soros, who made frequent high-profile appearances.

This discovery made him creepy, and he no longer dared to underestimate this old man in the sixtieth century.

Because Paulson had already done his internal response, and he himself was not too attached to Bell Stone, Bell Stone considered the question of Soros again and again, but finally failed to suppress the curiosity in his heart.

"You've finally spoken up!"

To Zhong Shi's surprise, Paulson's reaction was to let out a long breath with a relieved expression on his face, "Thank God, Mr. Zhong, you still believe in me after all!" ”

In the blink of an eye, Zhong Shi understood Paulson's psychology, which was his vote. Using this way to make overtures to himself, the subtext is that among the two opposites of Soros and Bell Stone, Paulson is still firmly on his side.

Zhong Shi sighed slightly in his heart, did not speak, and quietly waited for Paulson's next words.

"In fact, when planning the whole plan, the government once proposed to let him replace you, but I categorically vetoed it."

Paulson began to show his loyalty, "not to mention the heavy losses he suffered during this time, but the moral hazard of his time alone is no longer suitable for this position." Also, although I haven't paid special attention to his movements recently, I have heard some things, probably because of his sharp decline in performance. Resulting in investor dissatisfaction. I guess at this time, he should be anxious to reassure investors, right? ”

Paulson laughed as he spoke.

For Paulson today, investors are waving checkbooks and begging him to manage their money. And for others, let's say Soros. It is a plea, with various promises and guarantees to implore investors not to redeem their funds. It was almost the difference between heaven and earth, and it was enough to make him proud.

"That's the best!"

Zhong Shi was completely relieved at this time.

Jongshi chose to turn a blind eye to Paulson's ambitions, after all, Paulson was not originally in the circle of top hedge fund managers, but now he has entered the arena with an extremely strong posture, and it is inevitable that he will have some opinions about the so-called famous veterans.

If Soros were busy with other things right now, he wouldn't have the time and energy to dig a hole for Bell Stone, which Bell Stone would most like to see.

Although Paulson's attitude towards Soros is very disdainful. But Zhong Shi didn't dare to think like this at all. After decades of entanglement with Soros, Zhong Shi knows very well that this old fox has a deep city and many means, far exceeding the average hedge fund manager.

However, Zhong Shi did not plan to remind Paulson that the other party was in the time of "spring breeze and horseshoe disease", not to mention whether the relationship between the two had reached this point, the timing alone was very inappropriate.

"The partner I chose to cooperate with this time, Soros was also qualified to participate. But as soon as I thought of you, I decisively cut off the thought. ”

Paulson did not perceive Jongshi's psychological changes. Still thinking to himself, he said, "I can't do this kind of stupid thing by inserting a restless element into the whole team." Mr. Zhong, don't worry, I have already said hello to all those people a few days ago, and no one among them will leak a word to the Quantum Fund. ”

"I'm not worried."

Bell Stone smiled and nodded at Paulson. "Even if Soros himself perceives it, we have the upper hand. And no matter how much discord there is between us, according to Soros's shrewdness, it will not warn the European side, after all, it will offend the entire American capital. In addition, it is not in line with his profit-seeking nature. ”

"That's just as well!"

Paulson looked down in contemplation for a moment, then nodded approvingly.

"Okay, rest for a while, the journey is still long!"

After talking for a long time, Zhong Shi's tiredness gradually came up, he yawned, and walked towards the master bedroom in the rear cabin.

After a five-day stay in South Africa, they finally set off for their home. To meet with a client in Hong Kong, Paulson chose to board Bell Stone's plane.

Looking at Bell Stone's back, Paulson nodded thoughtfully.

On the topic of talking about Soros, Zhong Shi said that he was not worried that the other party would do anything beyond the rules, but on the other hand, he ended the conversation, which naturally meant that he acquiesced to Paulson's approach and did not let Soros enter the team.

After thinking about it and finally confirming that the other party really meant this, Paulson fell into a deep sleep.

……

A month later, a piece of news about the Paulson Fund made the headlines: South Africa's Anglo Gold and Paulson Funds jointly announced that the Paulson Fund would buy a 12% stake in Anglo Gold for £980 million.

When I received this news, Zhongshi was already in the beautiful Greek Peninsula with a pleasant climate.

As early as two days ago, Paulson had informed Bell Stone that the acquisition of Anglogold had been finalized and that the results were expected in the next two days. This is a signal that the trading for Europe will officially begin.

As the central figure of the whole plan, Zhong Shi has also determined the itinerary. Over the next two months, he will visit the Eurozone countries to see through his own experience the potential and potential strength of shorting.

The first stop was on the Greek Peninsula.

Greece is located at the southern tip of the Balkan Peninsula in southeast Europe, bordering Bulgaria, Macedonia and Albania in the north, the European part of Turkey in the northeast, the Ionian Sea in the southwest, the Aegean Sea in the east, and the African continent across the Mediterranean Sea in the south.

In terms of economy, because of the weak economic foundation, Greece's industrial manufacturing industry is not very developed. However, it is close to a natural port, so the shipbuilding industry in Greece has been extremely developed since ancient times. Shipping, tourism and remittances are the three pillars of Greece's foreign exchange earnings. Among the three major industries, agriculture accounts for nearly 40 percent, industry accounts for less than 30 percent, and the rest comes from the service sector.

"Mr. Zhong is here for a trip this time?"

Coming out from Athens International Airport. Phaedra. Gail looked at Zhong Shi, who was sitting in the back row, and asked excitedly.

"Yes."

"This is the birthplace of the Olympic movement and the place of the gods of Greek mythology, so I've always wanted to come and see it, but I can't find the time. Now there's finally a chance. So I came here. ”

Because he didn't know many people, and under the banner of "private nature", Zhong Shi could only trouble Phaedra. Gail. However, because of the identity of the other party's financial reporter, even if he spoke, he only spoke after careful consideration.

However, Zhong Shi is too worried, I'm afraid that now he has the whole plan in full, Phaedra. Gail couldn't believe it, and the reason was naturally too unbelievable.

"That's right!"

Hearing Bell Stone praise his country, Phaedra. Gail couldn't help but be overjoyed. "In addition to the Acropolis, we also have the ruins of Knossos, the Tomb of the Macedonian kings, the Temple of Apollo, the Temple of Hera and other places to visit. What I'm talking about is a world heritage site, and it's the pride of the whole of Greece. ”

"Really?"

Zhong Shi nodded secretly, "But I don't like to go to crowded places very much, do these places you said have a lot of tourists on weekdays?" Are there any other quaint places to visit? ”

"So?"

Listening to Bell Stone's words, Phaedra. Gail pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped himself on the forehead. Suddenly realized, "Actually, these are the places I said. If it's in high season, there are a lot of tourists. But lately, I don't know what's going on, and there are a lot fewer tourists from other regions. Maybe it's because of the economic crisis, who knows. But if I want to talk about a particularly pure place, I have to think about it! ”

There is a problem with the tourism industry!

This was Zhong Shi's first reaction. However, his expression did not change, and he still said lightly: "Since this is the case, then there is no need." These places you mentioned. There are other attractions that I will visit whenever time permits, after all, I don't know when the next time will be. ”

"You're a big man, so time is naturally precious."

Phaedra. Gail coughed lightly. His expression was slightly unnatural, and then he said, "By the way, do you want me to help you find a tour guide?" ”

Beside Zhong Shi, Jiang Shan was curiously looking at the scenery on the side of the road, taking pictures with his camera from time to time.

"The hotel will arrange it, right?"

Zhong Shi was a little uncomfortable with Phaedra's enthusiasm and politely refused.

"No, you may not know about the hotel tricks, but I know it."

As he drove the car, Phaedra explained, "A lot of times the hotel and the tour guide are in a partnership, and they quote relatively high prices and share them privately. In fact, the price of a local tour guide is only half of the price of a tour guide provided by a hotel. However, the recent economic downturn has reduced the cost of a tour guide a lot, and if you simply look for a local tour guide, you will definitely be able to leave a sum of money. ”

Speaking of which, Phaedra realized that the person behind him was not a master who was short of money. Immediately, he blushed and looked around, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"In that case, then I'm in trouble for you!"

To Phaedra's surprise, Zhong Shi no longer refused, but nodded in agreement with his proposal.

It turns out that the world's top rich people are also so frugal. Phaedra thought to herself, and sighed with emotion.

"Damn, another demonstration!"

While the group was talking and laughing, the car was almost in the center of Greece, but at this time Phaedra's car came to a standstill, because there were many people gathered on the road in front of them, and the front of the line was not visible in the dark.

Phaedra couldn't help but slap the steering wheel suddenly, and said a little angrily, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhong, I'm afraid I'll have to wait for a while." ”

"It's okay!"

Zhong Shi waved his hand indifferently, looked at the demonstrators outside, pushed the car door and walked out.

Seeing Zhong Shi get out of the car, Phaedra hurriedly got out of the car, ran to Zhong Shi's side quickly, and persuaded: "Mr. Zhong, let's wait in the car, it's not safe here." ”

"It's okay!"

Looking carefully at the slowly moving demonstrators around him, Zhong Shi saw that everyone's faces were written with disappointment and dissatisfaction, and he was surprised at the moment, and asked Phaedra, "What's wrong with these people?" What are they demonstrating? ”

Because the banners and placards of the demonstrations were written in Greek. So Zhong Shi didn't know what they were asking for at all, but judging from everyone's expressions, this matter seemed to be extraordinary.

"What else could it be?"

Ferdra sighed and shook her head helplessly, "It's not because of corruption!" Hey, damn the government! ”

"What?"

Zhong Shi's eyes widened, and he looked at Phaedra in disbelief, "I heard you right, are you, you're talking about corruption?" ”

"Yes, you heard it right!"

Phaedra's face flushed slightly, and it was obvious that he was embarrassed to say that the bad side of his country was going on, but he didn't hide it, "Maybe you know, but corruption is rife in every aspect of this country. I'll give you an example, if you give the tax collector a small envelope, you can avoid a portion of the tax. ”

The so-called "small envelope" is a local Greek saying, which is actually a bribe to a tax officer.

"Can it still be like this?"

Jiang Shan, who had never spoken, blurted out, "Isn't this illegal?" (To be continued......)
