Chapter 428: The Waves Before and After the Waves

"That's all he said at the meeting!"

Manhattan, New York, a small building next to the Central Corporation, Rodney. Jones handed over a document to Soros, "The general content is how to launch a new offensive against Europe!" ”

"It can't be, right?"

Soros glanced at Jones suspiciously, a little incredulous at what he had just heard, "Wasn't he bribed by the top brass in Europe?" How could such a thing be done so openly again? ”

Soros knows best about the grievances between Bell Stone and European governments, because he himself was a fish at the gates of the city, and was even abandoned by the misunderstood American capital, and finally he had to choose to change the nature of the fund and announce his retirement to resolve it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, many large American institutions are aware of the fact that Bell Rock is uniting with Europe, including Bell Stone's former allies and those who oppose him, such as JP Morgan. The strange thing is that these people have chosen to keep it a secret without exception, and have never easily revealed the news to the outside world.

Even JP Morgan's CEO, after being blackmailed by Zhong Shi, only promoted Zhong Shi's reputation as a "villain" everywhere, and never mentioned the fact that he had offended European governments. This shows the ugly side of human nature, when he suffers a catastrophe, he scolds on the one hand, and waits to see other people's jokes on the other.

Soros is also human, so naturally he is not exempt from vulgarity, and he has never revealed the reason to others.

Even if he retires, the Quantum Fund is still in the hands of Soros, after all, it has been transformed into a family fund, which means that he is the largest investor and can ask about the investment direction and strategy of the fund at any time.

When hearing Rodney. After Jones's debriefing, Soros's first reaction was that this was impossible!

"Let's see what he has to say."

Rodney. Jones sat down and said with some amusement, "This guy really revealed a lot of information this time, and to be honest, if I didn't understand his motives, even I would be a little moved." I thought about it, but I didn't understand what he wanted to do and where the next move was. ”

"Really? I'll take a look! ”

Hear Rodney. Jones's words, Soros's heart moved, his face became solemn, he put on reading glasses, and began to solemnly look at the content of Zhong Shi's speech.

"What the hell is he going to do?"

Half an hour later, Soros slowly put down his reading glasses and muttered for a long time before saying, "There is no major problem with the ideas of the whole speech, which is not only logical but also very operational." If he did this, he should make a lot of money. ”

"But all this is impossible. Bell Stone could not have been so kind, and the European governments could not have been so generous! What I know for sure is that there must be a conspiracy in this! ”

He came to a categorical conclusion.

As Bell Stone's opponent, Soros knows himself better than Bell Stone to a certain extent. Originally, the style of Zhongshi and Tianyu Fund was extremely low-key, but now it is unusually high-profile, which is quite a strange thing in itself. Now it points to a broad road that can make money, which makes Soros feel incredible.

Of course, most of the fund managers who are in the trenches don't think so, they think that Bell Stone wants to use his own energy to disrupt Europe.

"I thought about it, and I thought there were several possibilities!"

There was silence for a long time, and finally Rodney. Jones still mustered up the courage to say, "That is, several of the assumptions of the bell stone are not true, such as that Europe will respond quickly, and for example, Europe will implement a low interest rate policy." Only then will the market move in the opposite direction, and those who fall into the trap will lose money. ”

"That's what I thought too, but there's a catch!"

Soros nodded approvingly, but the next moment he vetoed Rodney. Jones's hypothesis, "On the one hand, they are talking about shorting bonds, and on the other hand, they are talking about betting heavily on the euro, and this bet on both sides is like hedging risk." Could it be that this time he is just testing the market appeal, rather than the real action? ”

The method of betting on both sides is generally to hedge risks, but for top hedge funds, as long as they fancy one side, they will not hesitate to re-bet, and at most do some hedging in the derivatives market, because only in this way can the benefits be maximized. According to the information that has now been revealed, Zhongshi's approach is contrary to the principle of profit maximization.

So Soros thinks this could be a test of the market.

"Mr. Soros, the time you made up for is up, and the guests are already waiting outside!"

Just then, the phone on Soros's desk rang, and the secretary outside the door reminded him that it was time to meet the guests.

"Okay, let him in!"

Soros thought for a moment and decided to meet the visiting guest, while he quietly put away some of the classified documents on the table.

"Do you need me to recuse myself?"

Seeing this scene, Rodney. Jones stood up with great amusement and was about to walk outside, "About Bell Stone, we'll talk about it when you're done?" ”

"No need, you can meet this guy too, a guy who came out of nowhere."

When he said that he was coming, Soros's tone was a little disdainful, "He was introduced by a guy from Mobil Oil, and it is said that Mobil's partners commissioned the meeting." I don't know why he wants to see me, but since someone has entrusted me with this, I can only give someone else this face. Wondering, I'm already retired, why does this guy go to the trouble of coming to see me! ”

"By the way, this guy is a Chinese."

He added one last sentence.

Soon the man appeared in the office of the two, he had an Asian face, black hair and yellow skin, small eyes and a nose, and his appearance was not very good-looking, but it was not ugly, it could only be said that he would not recognize it when he was thrown into the crowd. He was wearing a sky-blue casual suit, but inside was a burgundy shirt, paired with khaki slacks and black leather shoes, it can be said that this outfit is simply nondescript.

After seeing this outfit, Soros and Rodney. Jones frowned.

"You're Mr. Soros, aren't you?"

When the visitor saw two people in the office, he couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on his face, but this surprise didn't last long, he walked straight to Soros, stretched out his palm and greeted in English, "It's a pleasure to meet you, I'm Zhou Chang'an, from Huaxia, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

"Zhou Chang'an?"

Soros muttered in his heart, but he stretched out his palm without any change in expression, "Welcome, Mr. Zhou." By the way, let me introduce you to our firm's Chief Economist in Emerging Markets, Rodney. Jones. ”

"Hello, Mr. Jones."

Zhou Changan just waved his hand in this direction, and did not mean to come over and shake hands. Jones was rather helpless and shook his head secretly.

"Listening to Clark, Mr. Zhou has a great relationship with Mobil Oil, dare to ask Mr. Zhou is in the crude oil business?"

After the two sides sat down, the conversation officially began, and Soros first asked, "Are you planning to do a little oil business in the United States this time?" ”

Clark was, of course, the middle lobbyist for Mobil Oil.

"Hehe, I think Mr. Soros must be thinking, why did a stranger like me come to the door, right?"

Zhou Changan was also refreshed, and said directly with a smile, "I just entrusted the relationship with PetroChina, and asked them to find a relationship so that I could meet with Mr. Soros, but they found someone from Mobil Oil to do this, and they have some ability in the United States." ”

He snorted twice, his expression full of contempt.

"Originally, Mr. Zhou was not an oil merchant!"

Soros was a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "I was still wondering why I was favored by the oil company, it turned out that there was another layer of relationship." It seems that the people of PetroChina are good and can successfully complete Mr. Zhou's commission. ”

"Nice? It's just a bunch of dogs, who doesn't know how good they are! ”

Zhou Changan suddenly blurted out, and this passage made Soros and Rodney. Jones was confused, and didn't know what to say. As if realizing that he had said the wrong thing, the man named Zhou Changan hurriedly added, "Mr. Soros, you are right, I am indeed very grateful for their work. ”

"I don't know what Mr. Zhou came here for this time?"

Soros gradually lost his patience and said straight to the point, "Is there anything you need my help with?" ”

"Mr. Soros, how much net worth do you think I have?"

Zhou Changan didn't seem to hear Soros's words, and said to himself, "You can guess that I am forty-three years old this year, and it has only been twenty-one years since I graduated, and in these twenty-one years, I have spent most of my time in Huaxia." ”

“……”

Soros and Rodney. Jones glanced at each other, and a sense of absurdity rose in both hearts, and this kind of conversation that made others speculate about their net worth was the first time they had heard it since they were born. Looking at the rules of business dealings around the world, there has never been such a rule that allows others to guess their net worth during conversations.

I couldn't understand what the other party wanted to say, so Soros decided to stand still for the time being to see what the other party wanted to say.

"I don't know how much I have a net worth!"

Sure enough, Zhou Changan didn't really let the other party guess, but continued, "Real estate, land, antiques, bonds, stocks, cash, if you add up, I estimate that the scale is hundreds of billions." Oh yes, it's about $20 billion in dollars. ”

"What?"

Hearing this number, Soros and Rodney. Jones was incredible. Earning a net worth of nearly $20 billion in just 21 years, this experience is legendary anywhere in the world. What's even weirder is that whether it's Soros or Rodney. Jones had never heard of Zhou Chang'an's name.

Of course, Soros and Rodney. Jones isn't a person who specializes in gathering information like Forbes or Hurun, so it's not surprising that he doesn't know. The most surprising thing for the two of them was that this guy had earned a net worth equal to Soros in twenty-one years, which shocked them.

"I don't mean anything else."

Seeing the obvious change in the faces of the two, Zhou Changan smiled proudly and continued to explain, "I just want to tell you that the reason why I was able to obtain so much wealth is because I have a very reliable way. Well, now you believe that we have the possibility of cooperation, right? ”

He said something collaborative, not commissioned, which shows that he had made up his mind before the visit.

"Cooperate with what?"

Soros's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking, "In what way to cooperate?" ”

"It's easy!"

Zhou Changan snorted coldly and replied arrogantly, "I'll provide the news, and you will operate." We share the profits earned according to a certain percentage. Mr. Soros, my preliminary estimate of this business can reach trillions or even tens of trillions, it is definitely a big business! (To be continued.) )
