"Is this a bribe for me?"

Xhosa took the envelope and rubbed it carefully for a long time, then looked at Zhong Shi with a smile, "Is this number a little less?" ”

"Too little?"

Zhong Shi was stunned for a moment, and then said without thinking, "Then you can make a price, as long as it is within my expectations, I will definitely not bargain." ”

"What a big breath!"

Kossa laughed disapprovingly, threw the envelope to Zhong Shi, and said with a sneer, "Do you want to give me $100 million?" If I'm not miscalculated, you'll make at least hundreds of millions of dollars as soon as my statement is published. I don't think $100 million is a lot. ”

"$100 million?"

Zhong Shi lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and when he raised his head again, his expression was resolute and resolute, "I'm sorry, Mr. Cosa, you have asked for too much. That's more than I can afford. ”

"With this amount, I can find other people to say these things, and the influence will not be less than yours, and I believe that the government will be more than happy to cooperate. Well, I'll multiply that number again, how about $10 million? ”

"Put your money away!"

To Zhong Shi's surprise, Xhosa neither agreed nor explicitly denied it, but just said lightly, "Mr. Zhong thanks you for your kindness. But you should also know that I am a person who pursues politics, and I will not take this kind of money. ”

"Okay, I've agreed to this. If there is a consensus within the party, I believe you will soon see the results in the newspapers. ”

"That's it! There is no need to say goodbye, I don't think we'll see each other again. ”

He stood up, reached out and shook Zhong Shi's hand, and then walked outside without looking back.

"You didn't ask for money?"

Zhong Shi was stunned at first, but after thinking about it, he understood. The other party is afraid of giving someone a handle, and at the same time, he is also afraid that after receiving money this time, he will be frequently asked for in the future, which is equivalent to coercion in disguise.

"This is a shrewd fellow!"

Looking at the other party's back, Zhong Shi muttered to himself, and he was also secretly annoyed in his heart. This kind of person's pursuit is not the same as him, and he used the wrong method this time.

"How's it going, Zhong Sheng, how are the talks?"

As soon as he walked out of the church, Jiang Shan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, couldn't wait to greet him, and when his eyes fell on the envelope in Zhong Shi's hand, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching twice, "He didn't take the money?" So, things are yellow? ”

"It's done!"

Zhong Shi sighed. Carrying the envelope back into his arms, he said in a gloomy tone, "But only this time, it's a pity." ”

“……”

Although he didn't understand what Zhong Shi was saying, Jiang Shan still knew that the whole thing was done, and he was overjoyed at the moment, and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhong Shi's slightly disappointed expression. I had to swallow the words that had already reached my mouth.

Xhosa's actions were fast, and on June 3**** announced to the public. When the new government came to power, it was discovered that the previous government had falsified some of the economic data, and Hungary's financial situation was far worse than the outside world had learned.

At the same time, he also said that Hungary could not rule out a Greek-style debt crisis in the future.

Although he did not serve in the new government, Kosa's status gave credibility to his words, as he was one of the biggest names in the political party.

Although so far, Hungary has not joined the eurozone. But it is also one of the EU economies. The biggest damage to this news is that the debt crisis is not only in the southern part of Europe, but also has a tendency to spread to the central part of Europe. It is important to know that several countries, such as Hungary, are satellites of Germany, the first economy of the euro. If they were in crisis at this time, it would only be a matter of minutes before they spread to Germany.

Nominally a fear of Hungary, but in fact a fear of the contagion of the debt crisis and whether Germany would be drawn in. The market reacted quickly to this speech. The euro fell 0 on the day. 60% closed at 1. 2128。

However, the whole thing is not over yet, because just as Kossa made a statement about the poor financial situation of the Hungarian government, the next day the official statement was also made.

On June 4, Zgato, the spokesman for Hungary's new Prime Minister Viktor Orban, also confirmed at a regular press conference that Hungary is currently facing severe economic pressures. While he himself could not confirm the veracity of what Xhosa said, he further warned that a sovereign debt crisis or a credit default is not out of the question.

This government spokesman is more representative of the official position than Xhosa's identity, and the lethality to the market is even more different. As soon as Zgato's words came out that day, the euro immediately suffered a heavy fall, falling directly below the 1, which had not been broken through all along. 2 line of defense.

Although Hungary's economy is not large in the EU, the ripple effects are frightening. Especially in the breakthrough 1. After the important psychological threshold of 2, the whole market fell into a rhythm of getting rid of the euro spot as soon as possible.

The most terrible thing is that on this very day, a German newspaper published a poll. In the report, which describes the views of ordinary Germans on the German government's bailout of Greece, more than 30 percent of ordinary Germans said that they were ready for Germany to withdraw from the eurozone and regain the mark.

Although this figure is not enough to shake the foundations of the current German government, it is also a reminder to the market that Germany, the European boss, can shoulder the burden at any time.

As soon as the two pieces of news came out, the entire market was boiling.

In addition to the changes in the exchange rate market, the quotations of sovereign credit default swaps in Europe also rose, with the quotations of Hungary rising by 100 basis points and those of similarly troubled countries such as Greece and Spain also rising by 66 basis points. France, which just debunked the rumors some time ago, rose by 15 basis points.

This figure means that the cost of financing for these countries will increase even further.

Returning to Hong Kong, Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan's long-awaited scene finally happened.

"What's the offer now?"

Zhong Shi loosened his tie and tossed it aside, asking the traders who had been waiting for him for a long time, "And our options positions will be closed one by one from now on." ”

“1。 1199, just below 1. 12 psychological thresholds! ”

A trader with a Chinese face replied quickly. "On the options side, the price of put options is still rising, with a gain of at least 14% or more per contract."

"Options have the right of way, inform the broker that we are going to deliver!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhong Shi decisively ordered. "In terms of spot, let's wait first, don't easily expose our goals."

In terms of options, X-Spatial Fund started in September 2009,1. 4 opened a total of about $50 billion in short positions, which took them several months for fear that the short move would be detected by the market.

But so far, all the efforts have not been in vain.

The traders quickly tapped on the keyboard and began to execute Bell Stone's orders. Naturally, options for such a large position cannot be sold all at once. Because it is easy to arouse the alarm of the market. According to previous estimates, it will take at least ten trading days to successfully close this part of the position.

"It's down to 1. In 1970, Deutsche and Barclays called and asked if they wanted the euros they had on hand, and the total number of the two reached 1 billion. One trader said loudly.

According to the authorization of the funds they have at hand, the size below $10 million does not need to be reported, and the amount above this number needs to be approved by Zhong Shi personally. So when the European side called. Traders did not dare to slack off and hurried to report upwards.

"Looks like they can't take it anymore!"

Because some time ago, Tianyu Fund tried to take 1. Prices above 24 are traded in euros from these consortia. But he was decisively rejected by the other party. At that time, the euro was also on the downside, and it was precisely because of this anomaly that Zhong Shi realized what the other party was planning. But he didn't expect that the other party would hold these spots until now.

"Next!"

Without even a second of hesitation, Zhong Shi ordered the trader, "At the same time, let the wind out to the outside world." We are ready to take over the euro. ”

"What?"

The trader's expression suddenly changed, and he looked at Zhong Shi, who was expressionless, for a moment, and then honestly carried out the order.

As for the reason for the euro's collapse, traders simply believe that there is a crisis in Hungary, but Zhongshi is well aware of it. This statement will not last long, as the EU will soon put pressure on the Hungarian government, and their opposition parties will jump out to accuse the statement of being untrue. Under the pressure of both sides, the current Hungarian government will soon change its tune, and the whole market will immediately reverse.

So take advantage of this time to get chips as soon as possible.

"Santander is going to sell 50 million euros in spot."

"Banco Nacional de Italy wants to sell 30 million euros in spot."

"HSBC wants to sell ......"

Soon, offers from the European side came one after another. At this time, there are many buyers in the market, but there are very few funds or institutions that can buy in units of 100 million.

"All the next according to the market price!"

Zhong Shi said without hesitation, "At the same time, tell the broker that a sum of money will be urgently provided to us so that we can eat the sell orders in the market." ”

"How much do you need?"

Jiang Shan hurriedly asked, "Now that the local banks have closed their doors at this point, if you want to borrow, you can only borrow funds through American banks." By the way, Zhong Sheng, how much do you want to borrow, and how long? ”

"$5 billion, three months!"

Zhong Shi didn't even think about it, and directly gave a number that made Jiang Shan tremble.

"5 billion US dollars, I'm afraid it is impossible for several banks to make it up, and they will also have to guarantee it, and it is impossible to do it in one day!"

Jiang Shan cautiously persuaded, "I'll ask first, and see how much I can borrow at most." ”

Although there are daily borrowings, every bank is very cautious about borrowing large amounts. Zhong is the number he wants, and it is impossible for a broker to provide it, so he can only find a bank for short-term lending. Although for a fund like Tianyu Fund, it is not a problem to borrow $5 billion at all. But the big problem now is that borrowing is pointless if you don't have time to trade in Europe and the United States.

Fortunately, the golden sign of Tianyu Fund is still somewhat effective, and after making a few phone calls, Jiang Shan returned to Zhong Shi's side, wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead, and replied: "Bank of America, Citigroup and ******** provide a total of $2 billion in loans for 3 months, calculated according to the market interest rate for 3 months, no guarantee is required, and it will arrive immediately." ”

"Good!"

Zhong Shi just nodded subconsciously, without much expression, and waved his hand to the traders, "Guys, eat all the euros sold to us until we run out of cash." ”

At present, Tianyu Fund still has about 2 billion euros in US dollars, a total of about 2.4 billion, plus the new 2 billion US dollars now, the total has reached 4.4 billion US dollars. At the current exchange rate, it is possible to buy at least 36. 700 million euros.

Combined with the 2 billion euros that were not sold before, and the 1 billion euros that have just been received, the cash position of Tianyu Fund in euros will reach 66. That's 700 million euros. (To be continued.) )
