Chapter 301: Wave after Wave
"Gentlemen, it's time for us to act again!"
In the conference room of the Paulson Institute, a group of men in suits and leather shoes sat in two factions, and Zhong Shi, who sat in the center, was in high spirits.
Through the glass curtain wall, Paulson Institute researchers peered inside, and the room was filled with all the most famous people, including Bell Stone. Even Paulson, whom they regarded as godlike, had to give up his position in the middle.
They were envious, but they knew very well that this was not something they could enter, at least for now, so they dispersed after watching for a long time.
"Is there finally going to be action?"
Paulson was the first to jump out, ecstatic, "I've been waiting for three months, and while I've made a lot of money in the gold market, I prefer the feeling of playing the global market in the palm of my hand." ”
He is a very manipulative person. But then again, everyone in the room is a person of this character, otherwise they would not have been able to achieve such great success.
Of course, there aren't many opportunities to play around with global financial markets, so when that happens, everyone is excited.
After glancing at everyone with different expressions but overflowing with excitement, Zhong Shi's face sank, and he said unceremoniously: "But I heard that you are dissatisfied with me and went to the official to complain?" ”
Although Andrew. Brian's side had already made things clear, but Bell Stone still had to beat a few people.
Everyone's expressions suddenly froze, and the expressions of joy immediately disappeared, replaced by embarrassment. As soon as they came into contact with Zhong Shi's gaze, they seemed to have seen something terrifying, and they would not dare to look at each other if they hadn't lowered their heads. Or just hurriedly turn your gaze elsewhere.
"Here's the thing, Mr. Zhong, you haven't acted for a long time before, and we wonder if the matter in Europe is over, so we communicated with Washington."
Dario laughed dryly and explained to Zhongshi stubbornly. "The main responsibility for this problem lies with me, and I am a little anxious."
As the only person whose strength can be close to Zhong Shi, Dai Lio is undoubtedly the heaviest in Zhong Shi's mind. If he opened his mouth to plead, Zhong Shi didn't care too much.
"Since it was Raymond who spoke, then I won't continue to dwell on this topic."
Zhong Shi glanced at everyone coldly, and said with an awe-inspiring expression, "But I have said it first, this time the action is far greater than the previous action, and it is more dangerous. If someone is scared. It is possible to withdraw beforehand. But once you get involved, you have to give it 100 percent. If I find out that you are not working, or that you are acting against my whole plan and will, then don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing anyone. Even if there are officials behind your back, I will kick you out of this team without mercy. ”
"Of course!"
Paulson patted his chest and was the first to reassure, "If nothing else, I, John, am the first to approve." I can control it, Mr. Zhong, you can do it at your disposal. ”
"Very good!"
A slight smile appeared on Zhong Shi's face, and he turned to ask the others. "What do you think?"
"I do my best to help this team!"
Paulson's promise was too great for others to open his mouth lightly. At least Dario didn't dare to say that, he could only say something else, leaving himself some leeway.
Zhong Shi naturally heard the meaning of Dario's words, and nodded noncommittally at the moment, which can be regarded as agreeing with Dario's statement.
Naturally, the others also heard Zhong Shi's meaning, and immediately expressed their attitudes. It's nothing more than words that will do their best. At least they don't have all their own money in their funds, so it's impossible for them to over-promise Bell Stone anything in this situation.
Zhong Shi knew this, he only needed these people to dare not have two hearts about himself, and he didn't expect them to do much at a critical time. So as long as they show their attitude, the beating will achieve the goal.
"Alright. Gentlemen, this time the plan is like this......"
After nodding in satisfaction, Bell Stone took him before he to Andrew. Brian repeated what he had said, and when he had finished speaking, he spread his hands and asked, "Is there anything the gentlemen would like to say about this plan?" ”
Shocking, very shocking!
Although they had long realized that Zhong Shi's move was extraordinary, they never imagined that Zhong Shi would dare to think of pushing a country to withdraw from the eurozone, because it was different from the previous actions. What they did before was just to stir up the hearts and minds of the market, but this time they are deeply involved in the internal affairs of a country.
"You can opt out now!"
Looking at the crowd whose expressions had become exaggerated again, Zhong Shi's eyes narrowed slightly, looked at everyone with a smile, and said something that made everyone's hearts very entangled, "But if you quit and still operate on euros or gold, I can guarantee that you will die a very ugly death." ”
According to Zhong Shi's current means of calling for wind and rain, he is definitely not talking about such words, at least no one here will doubt the truth of these words.
"Who will do the negotiations with their government?"
After a moment of silence, Dario asked cautiously, "You must know that we people are just businessmen, and we are soft-spoken, and it is impossible to convince their higher-ups. ”
"Yes, it's too difficult!"
Jim. Chanos also chimed in, "When it comes to the game between countries, we basically have no possibility of interfering. You know, we're just businessmen, and we can't give politicians what they want. ”
The others nodded yes.
"So I need you to lobby in Washington and get them on board!"
Zhong Shi endured it for a long time, waiting for their statement, "This is my first request, to use your connections in the Congress to lobby the current top level of the government, so that they can come forward to settle political matters." We'll take care of the economic problems ourselves. ”
The crowd couldn't help but stop. Zhong Shi had spoken first, but now he took this opportunity to make a request, which made them feel that Zhong Shi was in charge. But the best thing about Zhongshi is that even if they know that they are being toyed with, they can't let go of the high rate of return. can only be driven by Zhongshi willingly.
"Does Mr. Brian know?"
After a long silence, Dario spoke again and asked, "If he knew, things would be much easier." Didn't you mention that when you just met with him yesterday? ”
"I mentioned it!"
Zhong Shi did not deny it," he said, "and it needs to be considered. I don't know what he thinks. So now it is up to the gentlemen to add a touch of strength to this foundation. ”
"I see!"
Derio pondered for a moment, then decisively agreed, "If Washington has this intention, I will participate in this plan." ”
"I'm also joining, on the condition that the U.S. authorities will come forward!"
Jim. Chanos was not willing to be reluctant, and immediately after Dario, he decisively agreed.
The two heaviest people agreed, and the others naturally did not say no, after all, the most difficult situation was for the US officials to solve, and the rest of them had a lot of room for manoeuvre.
"Okay. Now let's analyze who will be our target! ”
Zhong Shi nodded expressionlessly, and began to enumerate, "We don't have to think about big countries, because it's basically impossible. Now let me list a few countries, so you can look at them and see which country is the best country to target. ”
"Greece, without a doubt, is one of the most likely countries. Although they have received their first aid loans so far, the problems that plague them remain. And there is still a lot of room for operation in the future. Ireland, that's another target. The collapse of the housing bubble has plunged their banking sector into crisis, and their fiscal deficit is higher than that of Greece, which is a dangerous ratio. ”
"Portugal, that's a potential target as well. However, it is slightly more difficult than the above two, because they occupy a certain voice in the EU. However, their industrial base is weak. The irrational structure of international trade, the fact that per capita debt is inferior to that of Europe, and the rapid decline in bond credit ratings have caused their fiscal situation to deteriorate rapidly, and the possibility of a debt crisis cannot be ruled out in the future. ”
"These are the three countries that I think are most likely to leave the eurozone. Gentlemen, is there anything else you'd like to add? ”
After saying a lot of things freely, Zhong Shi's mouth was dry, and after picking up the water cup and pouring it hard, he asked everyone, "If not, we will choose between these three countries." ”
"Doesn't it need to inform Washington?"
"Most of the work is still up to them, so can we just leave them alone and make our own choices?" ”
"Their consent, of course."
Zhong Shi knocked on the table and said seemingly nonchalantly, "But we must first unify our internal understanding before we report this matter to Washington." That way they have room to maneuver, don't they? ”
"Ireland!"
Jim. Chanos did not dwell on this issue, thought for a moment and then said decisively, "A very important factor is that even if Ireland leaves the eurozone and cannot solve its debt crisis, England will act decisively." Because they cannot put their country in danger. ”
"I agree with that choice."
Griffin, who had not spoken, agreed, "Based on the good relations with the British side, I think there will be a lot of room for maneuver at least on the part of Washington in this matter, and there will be more room for maneuver." ”
"You have good reasons!"
Paulson echoed, "Greece is the gateway to Europe, connecting Asia and Europe, with ****** countries on the other side. I think that Greece is one of the targets of Europe's salvation no matter what, and this is determined by the ********. From this point of view, Ireland is not as important as Greece, and Portugal is not comparable to it. I'm also inclined to operate Ireland. ”
Although others have not yet expressed their position, Zhong Shi knows very well in his heart that basically Ireland will be the target of their operation, after all, in his heart, he is also more inclined to Ireland.
"If it's Ireland, we're probably going to be under pressure from the UK."
Griffin made a different point, "but if the United States could give England a little commitment, the pressure would not be a problem." ”
"So you still need to lobby!"
Zhong Shi said unceremoniously, "I believe that there will be relevant assessments in Washington." At least when you lobby, you have to make them take into account what we can afford. ”
"No problem!"
Bill, who never spoke. Gross finally spoke, "I know better than you about the very serious situation facing the Irish national debt at the moment. The spread between them and Germany is widening, and this number is enough to scare the market. If we can really manipulate it, the future of Ireland will also be in the range of issues, after all, this is a very big deal! ”
He's very professional, at least with his eyes on the market. (To be continued.) )
