The sudden news suddenly made Zhang Hua's face change, and when he looked at Zhong Shi again, he found that his face was also full of stunned expressions, but this expression did not last long, and the stunned expression turned into contemplation.

"Is the negotiation completely broken down now?" Zhang Hua didn't rush to disturb Zhong Shi's thoughts, stood quietly outside the door, watching Stanley's negotiation team rush out of the negotiation room, and politely shook hands with his own personnel to say goodbye, he knew that I was afraid that the negotiation was really over, if it was the other party's negotiation trick, I am afraid that there was no need to evacuate the whole line.

At that moment, Zhang Hua regretted a little, feeling that he was still too conservative and should raise the offer moderately. However, since the other party did not plan to sell bonds, he felt relieved again, because this kind of operation of heavenly funds was the first time for him, and the pressure on his body was undoubtedly huge and heavy. It's just that behind the relaxation, he also has an indescribable sense of loss, after all, a trading opportunity of this scale is really rare.

Soon, these negative emotions were completely driven out of Zhang Hua's mind, because what people living in this market need most is reason, not emotion. It was only at this time that he suddenly came to his senses, just now Zhong Shi was just in a trance for a moment, and then quickly adjusted his feelings, but this kind of professionalism was much stronger than him.

"Zhong Sheng, what the hell is going on?"

In addition to secretly admiring in his heart, Zhang Hua also quietly raised his opinion of Zhong Shi a few points, he is a person who is good at self-reflection.

"What could it be?" This clock stone had already thought about the cause and effect of the matter, and smiled slightly. His expression slowed down, "What else is possible?" It's nothing more than another consortium that has put forward an intention to buy, and our offer is too far from theirs. And the reason, maybe the Fed has really injected liquidity into the market. ”

"Then we ......" The love that had been suppressed was suddenly uncontrollable, Zhang Hua immediately became anxious, but after seeing Zhong Shi's understated face, the anxiety in his heart suddenly disappeared again, this change in love made him feel very surprised, and before he knew it, Zhong Shi's influence had reached such a point.

"We?" Zhong Shi turned his head suspiciously, a puzzled expression. However, I saw that Zhang Hua wanted to speak and stopped. His brow quickly furrowed, and he grinned at the moment, revealing Bai Sensen's teeth, "We." Of course, it's just to wait and see. I said it before. Do you think the Fed is in the driver's seat. Will it be possible to reverse the current situation? If that's the case, it's naïve. ”

Regarding Zhong Shi's opinion, Zhang Hua remained silent. He really didn't have much to say. However, deep down, he is still a little unconvinced, but this qiē debate is meaningless, so leave it to the market to test.

……

As Zhong Shi had speculated, the Fed did begin to inject liquidity into the market. Careful traders have noticed a slight increase in the price of forward Treasury bonds in the market, while the Fed's rediscount market has seen a significant increase, and after a period of observation, the market believes that these actions are all Fed operations in the market to release liquidity.

Soon, rumors that the Federal Reserve may cut interest rates began to spread, because the U.S. economy showed signs of weak growth in the second quarter due to the downturn in the housing market, and among the newly released figures, the number of non-farm unemployed in August increased significantly, which indicates that there is something wrong with the U.S. economy. In this case, the policy of higher interest rates implemented to curb inflation needs to be changed urgently, and a rate cut is one of the possible actions judged by the market.

In this case, the bond market is naturally hit by this expectation, and although the interest rate cut has not yet materialized, out of optimism about the future, both government bonds and corporate bonds have risen in price to a certain extent, although this magnitude is only marginal. As for the real estate market, which the market is most concerned about, because the Fed's capital injection has made the liquidity of various financial institutions replenish to a certain extent, and Greenspan is highly concerned about this issue, so the market has begun to have a more optimistic judgment.

Although the tension was eased for a while, Stanley's top brass still did not dare to relax, after all, their position was too large, and if they could not be disposed of as much as possible, it would most likely become a time bomb. Therefore, when the Saudi oil fund reported a figure, they decided to contact the other party after urgent consultations, and completely abandoned the plan to pit Zhongshi, because the difference between the other party's offer and the Arab's offer was too great.

Despite Soros's strenuously opposition, it simply did not help. Stanley's senior management made it clear that if he insisted on selling to Zhongshi, then the difference would be made up by the quantum fund.

As soon as he heard that he was going to take on such a responsibility, Soros immediately closed his mouth in amusement, although the pit bell stone is very important, but it is absolutely impossible to make up for this part of the price difference with his own money.

This led to the abrupt withdrawal of Stanley's team, who had been in contact with Bellstone's team, and soon turned to contact with the Arabs.

……

Faisal. Du Ben. Aziz. Abdullah. Rahman. Saudi Arabia is a side prince of the Saudi royal family. Although the Saudi royal family is currently only three generations, there are at least thousands of people with the title of prince due to their strong reproductive ability. Many princes did not inherit power, and could not even hold state positions, so many of them, although they held the title of prince, were in fact just ordinary people who received a fixed amount of money every month.

Faisal is the third generation of princes, as the thirteenth son born to the twenty-seventh son of the first king, this kind of order is basically doomed within the royal family to have no possibility of inheriting the throne for the rest of his life, and because of his father, it is impossible to enter the government, so if you don't want to "stand out from the crowd", Faisal has only one way to go, that is, to enter the business world.

While studying in the United States, Faisal began to show amazing business talent. He used the $20,000 capital his father gave him to start his business empire and start his own business empire. Later, Tong Guò succeeded in buying land and became one of the richest people in the empire. He then ventured into the banking industry and invested heavily in the U.S. stock market, which in many cases reflected in his vision, with Citibank being regarded as a milestone in his investment career.

In 1990, Citi was required by the Federal Reserve to call on the margin because of the failure of its investment in real estate, because of the huge amount of funds required, Citi could not find a suitable investor for a while. Taking advantage of the decline in Citibank's stock price, Faisal directly wrote a check for $200 million and bought Citibank's common stock at a low price. The following year, he bought Citi's preferred stock for $600 million. It was converted into common stock the following year, and after these two increases, he successfully controlled a 14.9% stake in Citibank.

Then Citi's crisis was resolved, and the prices of these stocks skyrocketed. Faisal was the biggest winner. Not only did I gain the goodwill from Citi. also made himself a lot of money.

It can be said that this guy, whether it is legendary experience or personal wealth, is not inferior to Zhongshi in any way. And his magnanimity is far superior to that of Bell Stone. So in Stanley's view, this customer is far more likely to end up closing the deal than Bell Stone.

Faisal, with the face of a typical Arab man, could hardly be associated with maturity and shrewdness if he did not have a beard. For no other reason, this guy's facial features are too exquisite, with thick inky eyebrows, deep eyes, a towering nose bridge, and thin lips, all of them are so exquisite. If it weren't for a headscarf and headband, a robe and a cape, it would be enough to be a model.

But then again, even if this prince is beautiful enough to be a model, he must still scoff at it, how can such a lowly profession be worthy of his noble status?

The meeting was held at the Bacarrot Hotel in Midtown, a new hotel that had been in existence for less than five years, and the resplendent décor was perfect for the Arab aesthetic, so many Arab guests came to New York to stay in this hotel.

It's just that today there is no way to move in on the thirteenth and fourteenth floors of the Bacarrot Hotel, because they are completely occupied. As a luxury hotel, the average price is $7,000 per night, and that figure doesn't include the presidential suite on the top floor. But in the face of the extravagant Prince Faisal, none of this is a problem.

In the conference room, the negotiators of the two sides began to discuss the details nervously, and the experts analyzed various materials and gave professional opinions, which may take more than three or five days. Greenham and Faisal walked out and had a chat by the way.

"Your Royal Highness, your vision is really good. I have to say that the prospects for our bond market are very good, and if you take over, the future returns will definitely be so rich that you are satisfied. ”

After serving a cup of coffee to his own hands, Richard slapped a little fart out of time.

Prince Faisal only smiled at his overture, took a sip of his coffee, and did not speak. In Saudi Arabia, there are too many people like Richard, so he can only respond with a smile to Richard's behavior.

Seeing that his sycophants didn't work, Richard's eyes rolled and he turned the subject to the other side, "Frankly, we've been in contact with a consortium before you. However, after knowing that you were interested in this batch of bonds, we immediately broke off the negotiations with the other party and gave priority to you, after all, people like you are more qualified to do such a large-scale transaction with us. ”

"Really?" Prince Faisal finally spoke, and he put down his coffee cup and looked at Richard with a smile to see what he could say. And in his heart, he has already attributed the other party's behavior to a bargaining method, so even if he is facing him and looks like he is listening, he is very disapproving in his heart.

"A consortium from Hong Kong is said to be very strong." The corners of Richard's mouth pursed, showing his disdain, "But although the boss of that consortium looks very young, he is very conservative, and even the price quoted in the intention is very small. After the Fed's market operations, we decisively suspended our negotiations with them. It seems that this consortium is nothing more than that, it is too true, and the guy who still loses has a great reputation on Wall Street! ”

"From Hong Kong?" Prince Faisal's face changed slightly, and his eyes immediately burst into light, but he lowered his head at the right time, pretending to serve the coffee cup, and covered up all the qiē well. When he raised his head again, all the feelings disappeared from his face, and he still looked harmless to humans and animals with a smile. (To be continued......)
