Chapter 537: A Slap to the Head 2

readx;?ā€œ Friends, it's me! ā€

After returning to his residence, Zhong Shi immediately dialed the phone number of the American side and summoned all the guys who had worked with him before, "Gentlemen, how are you doing?" ā€

"Thank God, Mr. Chung, you finally showed up?"

Paulson's voice was the first to sound, and he was only to hear him say pompously, "I thought you had gone to Mars and forgotten about our old friends?" ā€

Recently, a tech tycoon was experimenting with a recyclable rocket, which caused a huge stir in the wealthy circles in Europe and the United States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 infoWhen the money reaches a certain stage, these rich people are no longer satisfied with business success, they are more set their sights on the future of the whole human race. Therefore, when the news of the tech tycoon's experiment came out, it immediately attracted a lot of investment.

"I'd like to go to Mars, but not right now."

Zhong Shi was stunned for a moment, then understood what Paulson meant, and immediately replied with a smile, "Of course, if you want to immigrate to Mars, I would be happy to have an interstellar conversation with you and listen to your piano." ā€

Recently, for unknown reasons, Paulson's acquisition of Steinway, the world's number one piano manufacturer, has also caused quite a stir. Zhong Shi countered his human body with his human way, and also ridiculed Paulson.

"This ......"

After a long pause, Paulson said, "I thought the company was very promising, so I bought it." But for my piano skills, Steinway is too much of a luxury. ā€

He's very self-aware.

"What are you up to, Kenneth?"

After teasing Paulson, Zhong Shi asked Griffin again, "Recently, the performance of the Castle Fund has been good, and it seems that the top ten hedge funds in the United States this year, Castle Capital is going to enter strongly again." ā€

"All this is thanks to Jiangshan, this guy has done a very beautiful job."

Griffin said gratefully, "If he hadn't led us to encircle Deutsche Bank's derivatives positions, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had a good year." ā€

Jiang Shan did not fight alone, in fact he teamed up with Paulson, Griffin and several other large hedge funds to snipe at Deutsche Bank in the market. Half of the $20 billion lost by Deutsche Bank fell into the account of the Tianyu Fund, and most of the rest was divided among these people.

"If he wasn't yours, I'm afraid I'd be thinking of poaching!"

He finally sighed, "I need such a talent, I don't know if Mr. Zhong is willing to cut love, I am willing to give him an annual salary of 20 million, plus 20% annual dividends." ā€

"Don't worry about it."

Without waiting for Zhong Shi to make a statement, Paulson taunted the other party and said, "If you are separated from the platform of Tianyu Fund, do you think Jiangshan can still play such a miracle?" If you do offer this price, I don't think it will be long before you regret the business. ā€

"How do you know he's not going to be the next legend?"

Not to be outdone, Griffin immediately retorted, "I don't expect him to be the next Bellstone, but maybe he will be the next Paulson." ā€

"Alright, don't argue."

Dario, who hadn't spoken all this time, finally spoke, "I think Bell Stone summoned us, there should be something to discuss, right?" Listen to what Mr. Zhong has to say first, and then I don't care how you quarrel. ā€

"By the way, what happened to Gross?"

Zhong Shile listened to the quarrel between several people, and it wasn't until after Dario spoke that he realized that there was one person missing from the line, and immediately asked in confusion, "Why can't his phone be connected?" Can anyone tell me what's going on? ā€

ā€œā€¦ā€¦ā€

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, there was a silence on the other end of the phone, and several people stopped talking in unison.

"Mr. Zhong, you shouldn't know yet, something happened to Gross."

After a while, Paulson said lightly, "Pacific Investment Management fired Gross." He has now moved to another small debt fund. ā€

"What?"

Zhong Shi couldn't believe his ears, and immediately asked, "If I'm not mistaken, the Pacific Investment Management Company was founded by Gross, and he is also the biggest trump card of the entire Pacific Investment Management Company, how could he be swept away?" ā€

Gross has been on the edge of this combination, and Zhong Shi only knows that his company has been mired in infighting, and who doesn't want to be out of the game in a few months.

"It's a bit complicated."

"To put it simply, because the yield on the entire debt market has fallen, he is not doing as well as he used to." He was at odds with management, with the rest of management wanting to use the huge management dollars to transform the business, and Gross disagreed. The two forces fought for a long time, and in the end Gross lost and had to leave gloomily. ā€

"I see."

Zhong Shi nodded silently, and after thinking about it for a long time, he said lightly, "Since he is not in our circle, it doesn't matter whether to contact or not in the future." ā€

Once he understood the situation, Zhong Shi only sighed for a few minutes, and then decisively chose to cut with Gross. Although this behavior is very chilling, it doesn't seem that these people, who put their interests first, don't feel too much wrong with Zhong Shi's behavior.

They also know very well that if one day they can't do it, Zhong Shi will not hesitate to abandon them.

"By the way, what is Mr. Zhong calling us for today?"

"I think you should have something very important to say, so don't dwell on Gross anymore." This person is not in the same field as us in the first place, and it is actually the same with him or not. ā€

The others also stopped talking with interest, and naturally they had the same thoughts as Dario.

"Before I do that, I want to ask you a serious question."

After a moment of silence, Zhong Shi suddenly asked in a calm tone, "Don't lie to me, this is related to the basis of our cooperation." In recent months, have you been involved in shorting the RMB? ā€

As soon as he spoke, the people on the other end of the phone suddenly felt a heavy pressure on their faces, and this pressure made their wheezing involuntarily a little heavier.

They all knew that at least for now, it had always been a taboo for Zhong Shi on Huaxia's side. Not only did he not get involved, but he also explicitly and secretly warned several others not to get involved. As for why, they also secretly speculated, and they all thought that it was Zhongshi's patriotic complex.

"I don't know about anyone else, but at least I haven't shorted even a penny."

Paulson was the first to say, "In addition to being optimistic about China's current economy, I also believe that the current depreciation is not sustainable, so I am not involved in it, and I do not think that I can shake the world's largest foreign exchange reserves." ā€

"This idea of yours is very rational, and I am very satisfied."

Zhong Shi nodded in satisfaction, casually complimented Paulson, and then asked, "What about the others?" ā€

"I also didn't short the renminbi."

Griffin followed suit, "But I did short some euros, the current situation in Europe is uncertain, the influx of refugees is causing increasing nationalism, and I am not very optimistic about the prospects of Europe." Another reason is that I don't want to offend Mr. Zhong, which is true. ā€

"I entered the Chinese market."

In the end, Dai Lio was very happy and directly admitted the fact that Bridgewater Fund entered ChinaAMC, but he explained, "My company is set up in a free trade zone, and the vast majority of transactions are aimed at China's debt market, and a small part of the position is invested in China's high-quality companies." However, the market in China is too complicated, and I am not afraid of your jokes, so far our companies in the Asia-Pacific region have lost quite a lot. ā€

"By the way, it won't be connected to my participation in Huaxia's economy, this also has to be managed, right?"

After explaining a lot, Dario realized that Zhongshi didn't say anything. He couldn't figure out Zhong Shi's attitude, and couldn't help but complain, "Mr. Zhong, I'm participating in China's economic construction, is it possible that this is not allowed?" ā€

Although he is not very scared of Zhongshi, he is also afraid of offending Zhongshi. At this time, Dario had secretly made up his mind that if Zhong Shi really denied his investment in Huaxia, then he would cancel his current office and completely withdraw from the Huaxia market.

Anyway, there are so many places to make money, so why should you offend such a big killer as Zhong Shi?

"This is not the scope of my consideration, as long as your behavior is compliant and legal, I think you are welcome in this market."

Zhong Shi chuckled softly, "Don't be too nervous, everyone, I'm just asking casually." The market in China is open to all of you, and I mean the same thing. Since you are not short the RMB, I am very satisfied with this result, and now there is an opportunity to make money to repay you, and that is to go long the RMB. ā€

"What?"

"You're not kidding, are you?"

Hearing Zhong Shi's words, Griffin and Paulson screamed and blurted out in unison, "How is this possible?" ā€

"From a fundamental point of view, there is no possibility of appreciation of the yuan."

Among them, only Dai Lio calmly analyzed, "China's economy has shown signs of slowing down, and they have had a stock market crash in the past year, so the economic growth will not continue to remain above 8% in the future." In this context, the continued high value of the renminbi is largely due to political pressure, and I believe that an appropriate depreciation is good for the Chinese economy. ā€

"But since Mr. Zhong said so, then there must be a reason for him."

After thinking about it, Dario continued, "We want to know the logic behind this in order to be able to implement whether we want to go long RMB." ā€

"Because the Chinese government has decided to use foreign exchange reserves to intervene in the foreign exchange market."

Zhong Shi snorted coldly and replied disdainfully, "Now you understand why I asked you to go long RMB." On the one hand, it is a reward for you, so as to give you a little sweetness; On the other hand, it is for you and the Central Bank of China to form a joint force to jointly crack down on the bears that are currently rampant in the market. ā€

"This ......"

Although this kind of intervention in the foreign exchange market is a bit inappropriate, everyone is silent about it, because it is so common in the international financial market. At this time, the question in their minds is why the Huaxia Central Bank intervened in the market at this time.

"Although our foreign exchange reserves are the largest in the world, there have been voices of declining China's economy in recent years."

Zhong Shi explained slowly, "The management of Huaxia has always had a clear understanding of the Asian currency crisis that occurred in '97 and '98. In order to prevent the slightest slight, it is necessary for us to take action at this time, and we must not let the wealth accumulated by the Chinese people for decades be ruthlessly taken away by outsiders, the reason is as simple as that. ā€

"In addition, I will be the main operator in this matter, and the time is in these two days, and there is not much time left for you."

Zhong Shi finally added.

His words were like a bombshell, and they detonated the minds of several people in an instant.

"Good luck to them, O God!"

Paulson muttered to himself. (To be continued.) )
