Chapter 244: Greece's Relegation (1)
"I'm not a liar!"
Zhong Shi stroked his tie and said to everyone, "People who say this kind of thing don't understand the nature of finance, so it is inevitable that there will be cognitive biases. It is my duty and obligation to tell you that I am not a liar. ”
There was a burst of chuckles, and it was clear that Zhong Shi's words amused everyone.
Sitting opposite the bell stone, Phaedra. Gail laughed too, but unlike the others, he was laughing. He knew a lot more about the person in front of him than the other colleagues present!
This is the editorial office of the "Daily News", and Zhong Shi fulfilled his promise and came here for an exclusive interview. In the face of such a financial guest, who may be the most heavyweight of all time, the "Daily News" was jubilant, after all, for them, a guest like Zhong Shi was simply unattainable.
In addition to putting on the red carpet and the president personally taking over, "Daily News" also opened up an open space reserved for Zhong Shi to do an exclusive interview in the core of the editorial department for the first time. In addition to the text interviews, they set up cameras and broadcast them live on social media.
Naturally, the task of interviewing Bell Stone fell to Phaedra. Gail's body.
The soft background light hit Zhong Shi's face, making his whole face contoured and quite inexplicably charming. This caused the female staff present to point at Zhong Shi and discuss something in a whisper in Greek. Phaedra. Gail sat on the side of Bell Stone, and although his expression showed a formulaic smile, deep down he was quite disdainful of Bell Stone who was in high spirits at this time.
A week ago, he had personally participated in a conversation between Zhong Shi and the heads of the three major unions and knew what the billionaire was doing in private. But with his ability, he can't do anything at all, and can only watch the other party perform in a grand manner.
He had also thought about shaking the whole thing out, but after weighing it up. He gave up in despair. Not to mention whether this matter can be truthfully disclosed, even if it is really exposed, it is still a question of how many people believe it. The serious consequences after the exposure are simply self-evident, I am afraid that he and his family will face a catastrophe. And if he chooses to bury it deep in his heart, he can still take the opportunity to make a fortune.
Children only talk about right and wrong, and adults only talk about interests.
Phaedra. Gail very sensibly chose to shut up.
But he was still very angry. So after Zhong Shi said that he was not a liar, he couldn't help but have a hint of mockery on the corner of his mouth.
Regarding his performance, Zhong Shi directly chose to ignore it and continued to talk eloquently:
"What is Finance? To put it simply, it is all about financing the subject matter. It's the same whether it's bonds or stocks, or insurance and commodity futures. But on this basis, after many years of evolution, a variety of new products have been derived. It has formed today's rich and diverse financial market. ”
"It is undeniable that although there is a lot of speculation in various types of financial products today, these products are all designed for hedging, in other words, for hedging. It's ridiculous that what was originally intended to avoid risks has become the riskiest thing today. And it often threatens the security of the real economy, which has to be said to be a huge irony. ”
"Investigate all the deep-seated reasons. Still can't escape a human nature. The sinister and greedy nature of human nature dominates all this, which is why regulation is needed. However, since the beginning of the previous year, we have clearly realized that the current market supervision is not able to restrain these evils in human nature, so the trend of the capital market in the future must continue to increase supervision in this regard. ”
"Makes a lot of sense!"
Phaedra. Gail directly interrupted Zhong Shi's gushing and asked directly. "I believe that Mr. Zhong also knows what kind of economic situation Greece is in at the moment, and it can be said that the global economic crisis has seriously impacted the Greek economy. In this case, I wonder if Mr. Chung has any good advice for the current Greek government? ”
"This ......"
Zhong Shi's face remained unchanged, but a trace of dissatisfaction flew through his eyes. "I don't know much about the Greek economy personally. But in the current situation, if you want to get out of the predicament, there are only two aspects, that is, open source and reduce expenditure. ”
"The so-called open source, for the Greek government, is to introduce a new source of taxation. But I think that in times of economic downturn, this possibility is very small, and everyone understands the truth of fishing when the water is dry. If this path does not work, then there is only one way to go, that is, to cut expenses through large-scale layoffs. However, I am afraid that this is not easy to achieve. ”
"But even if we take measures now, it will take some time to get results. Because it does not have the power to issue money on its own initiative, the adjustment of monetary policy is quite small, so it is necessary to rely more on fiscal policy. The 'Reaganomics' practiced by President Ronald Reagan of the United States once created the prosperity of a generation of Americans. I think in this case, the Greek government can consider and learn from it. ”
"Of course, this is just a little bit of my own humble opinion, and I think someone in the Greek government should see this, so I ......"
Just as Zhong Shi was about to end this topic, there was a sudden earth-shattering commotion outside, and the people around him looked sideways one after another, and Zhong Shi's face couldn't help but show a curious look.
"Breaking news, the guys from the GSEE are marching!"
An editor saw clearly through the window what was going on outside, and then he rushed back, grabbed the interview pen and camera on his desk and ran outside, shouting, "Big news!" ”
The GSEE, or National Organization of Labour in Greece, is the trade union organization in Greece that has kept a low profile and remained silent during the current wave of strikes. Everyone knew that sooner or later the GSEE would go on strike or demonstration, but they did not receive any prior information, and the GSEE chose to hold the demonstration on this day.
The sudden incident immediately disrupted most of the formation.
"Let's go check it out too?"
Seeing that the people around him were a little distracted, Zhong Shi immediately suggested empathetically, "Since it's a big deal, don't bother us to take a look and see what they want?" ”
The Daily newspaper building is located next to a main road. Zhong Shi came to the window surrounded by everyone, and soon a long black crowd appeared in front of everyone. Despite the large number of people involved, it was generally orderly, with a few police officers at the head of the team maintaining order, and people holding various placards and moving slowly forward.
"What's written on that?"
Point to the placard. Bell Stone to Phaedra. Gale asked, "It's Greek, I can't read it." ”
"No corruption!"
Phaedra. Gail shook his head speechlessly, and said slowly, "Increase the labor remuneration and reduce the labor hours." That's all there is to it, strikes, it's the same all over the world. ”
The people who interviewed Zhong Shi were very dedicated, and the camera and microphone were still faithfully aimed at him. Even the conversation between the two was recorded unmistakably. The camera suddenly noticed that Zhong Shi's brow was furrowed at that moment.
"This union ......"
Zhong Shi continued to ask, "Is it influential?" What if the appeal is not granted? ”
Phaedra. Gail was speechless, he knew that Zhong Shi was well aware of the consequences of this, but for the sake of the audience in front of the camera, he had to bite the bullet and reply, "This is the largest union in our country, and it has a lot of influence." If the appeal cannot be granted. The consequences are unimaginable. ”
In line with Zhong Shi's question, he couldn't stop shaking his head and sighing. is secretly forcing himself in his heart, he really has the potential to be an actor.
"If the union problem can't be solved, maybe throttling is also a problem!"
Zhong Shi said thoughtfully, "I overlooked one point in my comment just now, that is, the power of the union. It depends on the game of various forces. I can't say exactly what will happen. ”
"Hey, it's been an eventful time!"
I don't know who it is, but suddenly I said in English leisurely, "I always have a bad feeling." ”
"What else?"
Bell Stone turned his head. With a puzzled face, he asked, "Is there anything else I don't know?" ”
"That's right!"
The president of Today walked in and said in a heavy tone, "Today is the day when the current government announces its fiscal report. According to expectations, it seems that the government's financial situation is not too good this year. Some time ago, people in the government, through our newspapers, frequently announced that they were going to lay off employees and cut salaries. I think that's probably why they chose to demonstrate on this day! ”
The president, Fettfazidis, was a chubby middle-aged man with a beard that looked very different from his age, a young man.
"I see!"
Zhong Shi suddenly realized, "It's like Murphy's Law, if something bad is going to happen, then it's going to happen." Now that all the bad things are piling up, I'm afraid the consequences will be very serious. ”
"yes!"
Fetfazidis also said approvingly, and then reluctantly pulled himself together and suggested, "Mr. Zhong, let's continue the interview." We have special people in charge of these demonstrations, and even if they cause any consequences, our government will deal with them. ”
"Hmm!"
Bell Stone nodded, then walked back to his position, towards Phaedra. Gale asked, "Mr. Gale, shall we proceed?" ”
"Let me think about it!"
Phaedra at this time. Gail was so confused that he couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while, and then said slowly, "Mr. Zhong, you also saw the situation just now. How do you think you should look for investment opportunities as an individual investor in this situation? ”
"This ......"
Zhong Shi laughed, "I must declare that I will not be responsible for everything I say below, and it is only for investors' reference." Combined with the situation just now, I think that the Greek economy may not be very good for some time to come. If your stock market has a futures index, I recommend going short, and of course you can short the stock. However, these are only temporary situations, and the capital market is very complex, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as rapidly changing. Of course, it is better to hold cash at this time, because the euro is unlikely to depreciate in the short term, and having cash on hand will protect against most of the risks. ”
"What do you mean......"
Phaedra. Gail's face changed instantly, "Wouldn't it lead to a large-scale collapse of banks and other financial institutions by withdrawing cash from banks or other financial institutions?" ”
Even if he was ignorant, he knew that a run could be powerful enough to crush any bank in the world. And once there is a crisis in the bank, the crisis of the whole society is inevitable.
"That's not what I meant!"
Zhong Shi naturally vetoed it flatly, "Whether or not to withdraw the funds in the bank depends on personal choice and economic situation." In fact, in our industry, there is a saying that cash is king. As you know, companies such as Kaminmen Brothers and Bear Stearns eventually collapsed because of insufficient cash flow. This is true not only for large organizations, but also for individuals. (To be continued.) )
