Chapter 130: Investigating Indonesia
"Zhong Sheng, don't we close the position yet? Now that South Korea has officially reached an aid agreement with the IMF, according to our previous practice, as long as the countries that have reached an agreement with the IMF choose to close their positions at the first time, should South Korea also concoct the same method? ”
In Zhong Shi's large and bright office, Ren Ruowei was talking to Zhong Shi with red ears and red ears, his expression was slightly hideous, and the green tendons on his forehead protruded, and he was on the verge of exploding.
As for Ren Ruowei's reason for the gaffe, of course, just today, the won rebounded from the 1200 range to the 1190 range, due to the agreement with the IMF, the market is generally optimistic about the future of the Korean won, which also doubles the pressure on Ren Ruowei to close the position.
Speaking of which, this part of the funds shorting the won were borrowed at the level of 970 won to 1 US dollar, and most of the positions were opened at about 990, which means that the US dollar loss of the Tianyu Fund's position reached 2.06%, about 132 million US dollars. Although by the end of the day, this part of the position has made a net profit of 20.8%, that is, $1.352 billion. But just before that day, that figure was $1.7 billion.
In just one day, because of a piece of news, the overall profit evaporated by as much as 350 million US dollars, even if Ren Ruowei's heart is big, it can't withstand such a blow.
In the past two days, Ren Ruowei felt that his heart was about to explode, beating violently all day long, and from time to time he had symptoms of dizziness and cold limbs. You must know that if Lu Dao Ren is now in the prime of life, these problems should not appear on him. For this reason, he even secretly hid a quick-acting heart-saving pill in his arms.
Seeing that South Korea and the IMF reached a rescue agreement, Zhong Shi still had no intention of closing the position, and Ren Ruowei couldn't sit still. During the day's market viewing, when he was raising the won from 1200 to 1199, his eyes suddenly went dark and he almost fainted on the spot. After finally relieving himself, he couldn't hold back any longer, and roared into Zhong Shi's office, questioning him like a gaffe about what he didn't close the position.
Doubts about Ren Ruowei. Zhong Shi only nodded slightly. After tapping the table a few times, he said in a good time: "Ren Sheng, you have to pay attention to your attitude." Now you are questioning my judgment, do you mean that you are sitting in my place? ”
Although Zhong Shi spoke softly. The expression is also light. But for Ren Ruowei. But no less than five thunderbolts thundered, and he suddenly woke up from his angry state. Remembering that Zhong Shi had almost never missed an investment performance, Ren Ruowei suddenly panicked. For a while, even his hands were so nervous that he didn't know where to put it, and after being embarrassed for a long time, he said curtly: "Zhong Sheng, I didn't mean that, I just ......"
"Just what?" Zhong Shi sat up straight, stared at Ren Ruowei with bright eyes, and said word by word, "It's just that you can't afford hundreds of millions of dollars in losses every day, right?" Watching the surplus on the books decrease day by day, my heart is like a knife, and I am tormented, but I can't use any strength, right? ”
"Yes, yes, that's how it feels!" Ren Ruowei's head nodded like pounding garlic. Obviously, Zhong Shi's words reached Ren Ruowei's heart.
Zhong Shi smiled, shook his head slightly, and after a deep sigh, he said, "Jimmy, you're still a little tender." Although South Korea seems to have reached an agreement with the IMF, there is still a lot of concrete work to be done, and it is too early to close the position. It is important to know that South Korea is the 11th largest economy in the world, and its economies are more developed than those of Thailand, the Philippines and other countries. Let's wait and see, although the situation is very good for them at the moment, it is just getting started! ”
Ren Ruowei squirmed his lips a few times, wanting to open his mouth to refute, but Zhong Shi's words were very reasonable, and he couldn't open his mouth if he wanted to refute.
Seeing Ren Ruowei's expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Zhong Shi sighed again and said helplessly: "Is that so?" Since you have the intention to close your position, then I will allow you to close it. But not all, but $1.5 billion of positions, as much as you can, close this part of the short position as much as possible. I don't care what strategy you use, I just ask you when to close your position, just do your best to grab the maximum profit, and that's always it. ”
Although not all the positions were closed, Ren Ruowei was already satisfied, and nodded again and again: "No problem, I will do my best to earn the maximum profit." ”
"But......" Zhong Shi's eyes rolled around, and after looking Ren Ruowei up and down with bad intentions, he continued, "Otherwise! Jimmy, let's make a bet, based on today's performance, the $1.5 billion won short position for you to operate, and I'll take care of the rest, for a period of three months. If my rate of return is higher than yours by then, then you lose me the same thing. And vice versa, how about it, do you bet on this bet or not? ”
Hearing that he was going to gamble again, Ren Ruowei's brows immediately wrinkled into a big "Chuan" word, it seemed that in the gambling history within the Tianyu Fund, Zhong Shi had not yet lost. However, at the thought of the possibility of breaking this myth, Ren Ruowei's heart became hot again, but he was cautious by nature, and did not agree easily, but first tried to say: "Zhong Sheng, with the current position, won't you go short again?" Let's talk about the chips first, if it's something I can't afford, I'm afraid this gamble won't continue. ”
There is a reason why he prescribes this condition. It is important to know that if the short position of $5 billion does not continue to expand, the operation in the market can only be to close the position. The liquidation of this scale is a factor driving the rise of the Korean won, because to buy the Korean won, if you do not continue to short, it is obviously not good for Jongseok.
As for the chips, it is naturally an additional condition, in fact, at Ren Ruowei's net worth level, there are few things he can't afford anymore, but just in case, he still has to say ugly things in front.
"It's good!" Unexpectedly, Zhong Shi didn't even think about it, and agreed straightforwardly. "As for the bet, it's just a Rolls-Royce, you can still afford a few million Hong Kong dollars, right?"
As soon as he heard this bet, Ren Ruowei's face immediately fell, although Rolls-Royce only needed a few million Hong Kong dollars, but it had to be able to buy it. As a representative of the British aristocratic car, Rolls-Royce is not only expensive, but also picks customers, that is, not that you can buy it if you have money. It is also necessary to have a certain social status and prestige. In the case of the current Ren Ruowei. It's undoubtedly a bit difficult.
Naturally, for Zhongshi, none of this was a problem.
However, when he thought that he might be able to defeat Zhong Shi, Zhong Shi didn't seem to have heard the trap he had set before. Ren Ruowei's mind was reactivated. After a few calculations in my heart. still nodded, and said happily: "No problem, this bet on me is OK." Zhong Sheng. You'd better prepare early, I can't wait to get ready for a new car! ”
Zhong Shi stared at Ren Ruowei speechlessly up and down, until Ren Ruowei's heart was furious, and then he said lightly: "You are very confident!" However, when self-confidence reaches a certain level, it becomes arrogance, and arrogance is not a good psychology. I think it's better for you to book a car now, so that you don't have to be in a hurry. To be honest, I was originally going to let you buy a horse, but come to think of it, forget it. ”
Ren Ruowei's cold sweat immediately came down. Although it is said that it does not cost much to buy a horse, even if it is a pure noble horse, but in the future, you have to hire a horse master, buy a seat at the racecourse, etc., so that it will cost at least one million Hong Kong dollars a year, and tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars will be invested in it in three or five years, which is far more expensive than a Rolls-Royce.
Wiping the beads of sweat from his forehead, in Zhong Shi's smiling expression, Ren Ruowei escaped from Zhong Shi's office in embarrassment, at this time he just wanted to hide as far away as possible.
"I'm gambling with South Korea's national fortune!" Zhong Shi looked at Ren Ruowei's back, said thoughtfully, then dialed a number and whispered, "It's me!" Is there any news from South Korea lately? ”
……
Rodney. Jones has been irritated lately, and not in general. Just yesterday, there was a theft in the office building where he was located, although it was only the unit next door that was stolen, but it undoubtedly gave Rodney . Jones sounded the alarm.
As soon as he went to work that day, after hearing about the theft, he hurriedly opened the safe, and found that the research materials and computers and other items in it were lying there unharmed, without the slightest trace of passivity.
As the representative of the Quantum Fund in Hong Kong and the chief economist of the Asian market, Rodney. Jones is currently under pressure from all sides. Originally, in September, Soros publicly declared that the Asian currency crisis had passed, which made Rodney, who had been criticized by all sides. Joneston was a lot more relaxed, and in fact Soros did it, but not in Hong Kong, nor in South Korea, but in Indonesia, which has been rescued by the International Monetary Fund.
Since the outbreak of international speculator attacks in Hong Kong and South Korea, Rodney. Jones and several of his staff members were once again in the spotlight, and from time to time financial reporters came in to try to interview them, but all of them were met by Rodney. Jones declined, and this time he was smart enough to stop publishing bylines in the open media, which also made him receive a lot less attention, after all, there was a big boss in front of him to attract firepower.
Although the IMF has allocated the first batch of aid to the Indonesian government, the rupiah has not rebounded as sharply as expected, on the contrary, it has slowly fallen after reaching 1 US dollar to 3,200 rupiah, and has now fallen below the price at which they opened their positions. This surprised Soros and Druckenmiller, and they naturally ordered Hong Kong to investigate the real economic situation in Indonesia.
Put your computer and other items in your travel bag, Rodney. Jones called another official from Indonesia's central bank, and after making an appointment, he left his office in Central with the two researchers and headed straight to Kai Tak Airport.
Due to his sensitive identity, Rodney. Jones travels to Thailand, where he secretly transfers to Singapore, then across the sea to Malaysia, and finally to Jakarta, so that he can reach his destination without even noticing. After all, he is the representative of the Quantum Fund, and his every move may be monitored, and at such a cusp, it will even cause various speculations in the market, and people with intentions will even guess the intentions of the Quantum Fund, which will cause unpredictable trouble to their trading activities.
Although it was a bit of a hassle to go back and forth, Rodney. Jones also knows that this is an extraordinary time and that it is necessary to take more safety measures.
It's just Rodney. What Jones didn't know was that the theft in the unit next door to him was completely hidden, and the real purpose was Rodney. Jones and his Quantum Foundation, while planting a Trojan horse on his phone, also installed a bug on his phone, and not only does his whereabouts have no secrets, but also his research results.
