Manhattan, Central Park.

At the chess table for passers-by, a few seemingly ordinary white men were leisurely playing chess, and around them, a few stout men in suits were scattered around, just in time to feed the pigeons frolicking in the park.

Morning jogging, dog walking, fitness ...... Passers-by of all stripes did not realize that these chess players were the top hedge fund managers on the planet, with a combined net worth of nearly $100 billion, and more than $200 billion under management.

In other words, this group of people who seem to be casual is actually a group of super-rich people.

"The king of the car has changed positions!"

Thunder. Dario pondered for a long time before swapping the positions of the rook and the king, he wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and said with a sigh of relief, "There is no threat for the time being!" ”

"Promotion!"

As soon as Dario's words fell, Paulson, who had been waiting impatiently, moved the "creep" one block to the bottom grid, and then announced that he would be promoted to "queen", and proudly announced again, "Sho! ”

"Elimination!"

As soon as he saw Paulson take this move, Dario was overjoyed, and directly took his own "king" to eat the opponent's "queen", and said proudly, "This is your step that I am waiting for!" ”

"Wait!"

Paulson's face remained unchanged, without the slightest fluster, and he pointed to the "king" on his side and said, "Zhaojiang, it's my turn to go!" After speaking, he unceremoniously waved down and took down the opponent's "king"!

“……”

After a long silence, Dario picked up the chess piece and threw it on the chessboard, "That's enough, I won't play anymore." ”

"Hey, hey, hey......"

Seeing that the other party was angry. Paulson smirked, and after slowly setting up the chessboard, he shouted to the man next to him who was concentrating on chess, "Who else is going to play against me?" Let the horses come! ”

As soon as they saw Dario's dejected expression, the faces of the others changed. They shook their heads in unison. Clearly, none of them saw Paulson's opponents.

"Why hasn't that kid come yet?"

Dario looked at the triumphant Paulson, and for a moment he couldn't help but get up, annoyed, and looked towards the entrance of the park, "If we have to wait so long, what has this kid seen in Europe?" ”

"Relax, my friend!"

Paulson was in a good mood and didn't mind if Bell Stone would arrive on time. couldn't help but tease Dario again, "Since we have to wait, then let's play another game of chess, anyway, today is the weekend, we can't just sit here, it's too boring." ”

Dario's face immediately furrowed, he pursed his lips, raised his feet and walked outside.

"Hey...... Feed. Why are you going? ”

Paulson shouted from behind him, "Come back." It's about to start! ”

"Damn, I'm not going to continue with you!"

Dario suddenly quickened his pace and replied without looking back, "I'll go to the bathroom!" But he was muttering in his heart: "I have lost three games of chess, and I will play with you again, do I have masochistic tendencies?" ”

After solving the physiological problem happily. When Dario returned, he found that Bell Stone had arrived and was playing chess with Paulson.

No one played the other games of chess, and everyone sat around the two and watched them play.

Zhongshi uses the classical system of ancient Indian defense. After the swap, the king of the car placed the "king" on his left side, in an airtight protective net.

Paulson, on the other hand, chose a very aggressive offensive move, and the three "pawns" all chose to jump in two ways, and pounced on Zhongshi's side with great momentum.

As soon as the two sides started, it was a scene of poor daggers!

When the people around saw this scene, their breath was suffocated, as if they felt the drastic changes on the chessboard, and they all lowered the sound of breathing, for fear of disturbing the thinking of the two.

Derio also tiptoed over and stood quietly aside, pondering the tactics of both sides.

The chess game soon entered the stage of fighting, and the two sides began to exchange pieces frequently, but at this stage, both sides were quite restrained, and all they captured each other were only chess pieces like "soldiers", and "elephants", "rooks", "horses", "queens", etc., were constantly changing positions, threatening each other at all times through dazzling tactics.

After exchanging for three "soldiers", Zhong Shi's tricks suddenly changed, he moved the car out, and opened the "elephant" road at once, and at the same time faintly threatened Paulson's "soldiers", and the overall style suddenly changed, and he wanted to turn defense into offense!

Sensing this change, the onlookers' breathing tightened, and they also realized that the situation might be about to enter the most intense part.

As Bell Stone's opponent, Paulson felt the change most intuitively and truly, and after pondering for a long time, he decided to give it up again.

Both sides lost a "soldier", and Zhongshi's "horse" crossed the confrontation line and entered the hinterland of the other side, faintly posing a threat to the "king".

The scales of victory and defeat began to slowly tilt in favor of Zhongshi's side!

"Eat!"

Under heavy pressure, Paulson decided to give it a go and use his "car" to exchange for the other party's "queen", and at the same time get the opportunity to "take a picture", but he also knew very well that the other party's "car" was next to him, so the next hand was the "elimination general".

Seeing this hand, the onlookers gasped. You must know that such a trick is undoubtedly a trick that kills a thousand enemies and damages 800 yourself. You must know that so far, although both sides have the same number of "soldiers", Bell Stone's "soldiers" are closer to the bottom grid, that is, there is a high probability that he will be transformed into "queen" before Paulson, so at least from this point of view, Paulson's tricks are open to debate.

Realizing this, Paulson then began to frantically hunt down the "pawns" of Zhongshi on the chessboard, and after killing two in succession, he breathed a sigh of relief.

And the price he paid was that an "elephant" was hunted and killed by the other party's "car".

With a large number of discs, there are fewer and fewer pieces left on the board, and the situation enters the endgame phase.

Paulson's "queen" was on the move, and when he realized that his side's important piece was already behind the other, he used his last resort. Desperate to eat one of the opponent's "soldiers", the consequence is that his side loses a "horse" and redeems the opponent's "rook", and after his "rook" is eaten by the opponent's "elephant", he is left with only one "horse" and one "queen".

Defeat is assured!

After Paulson's unwilling "shogun" was easily dealt with, Jongshi's remaining pawns began to be deployed. First he used the "horse" to "eliminate the general", and then threatened the opponent with the "elephant" diagonal, and when the opponent's "king" was running around and the encirclement was getting narrower and narrower, he used the last trick.

A "soldier" went straight to the bottom of the grid, incarnated as a "queen", "photographed" the opponent, and then used two "horses" to completely surround the opponent to death.

"Defeated!"

After looking at the chessboard for a long time, Paulson bitterly threw down the chess pieces he had been playing with for a long time. Said dejectedly.

“……”

Zhong Shi was about to say a few polite words, who didn't want to immediately erupt in cheers around him, and the onlookers were very happy about Paulson's deflated, of course, this was typical schadenfreude, and several of them Dario laughed the most.

"What's going on?"

Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan looked at each other, looking at the cheering crowd, and didn't understand what the situation was for a long time. But when their eyes fell on Paulson, who was flushed. The two of them suddenly realized and laughed in unison.

"Alright. All right! ”

After laughing for a long time, Paulson finally couldn't stand the awkward atmosphere and said angrily, "Let's get down to business, let's not waste everyone's time!" ”

He was as embarrassed as his men had been defeated. Of course. It was rare to encounter him when he was embarrassed, so the people did not listen to him, but continued to stare at him and laugh at him.

"Alright, let's get down to business!"

Until Zhong Shi stood up. This farce is really over, and everyone doesn't listen to Paulson, but they can't help but listen to Zhong Shi, so when Zhong Shi speaks, the surroundings immediately fall silent.

"What about Europe?"

Ackerman and the others immediately put the chessboard away, and it didn't take long to clear a large open space, and everyone gathered around the bell stone, and Paulson was the first to ask eagerly.

"How so?"

After a moment of silence, Zhong Shi pursed his lips, "For them, the situation is very bad, but for us, this is definitely a godsend!" ”

Everyone's nervous faces immediately disappeared, and they all showed relaxed expressions.

"Let's start with Greece, which is the most typical of the countries I visited!"

After looking around, Zhong Shi was sure that no other idlers would hear him, and then he began to say, "Greece's economic situation is very bad, and the shipbuilding industry, which is one of the pillar industries, is facing the double risk of high wages and being robbed of orders by Asian competitors, and even ships under construction are at risk of being canceled at any time." The country's industrial base is already weak, so I am afraid that a crisis of the entire industry will erupt at any time. ”

"Let's talk about the Greek government, if you don't have personal experience, it's really hard to imagine that the corruption of the whole country has gone deep into the bone marrow, and it is not a question of which party is in power, but the corruption of the whole society and system. The serious consequence of this corruption is that the ordinary dissatisfaction of voters, including the opposition parties, are all attacking the matter, but it seems that the opposition parties are unable to solve such a difficult problem. This is a political risk that will not be solved in a few years, so when they have a crisis, it will probably not be possible to solve the problem of corruption, regardless of the political party. ”

"The rest is their financial situation, and continuing from the topic above, because of corruption, tax evasion and tax evasion are very serious, to the point that almost everyone is using various methods to evade taxes. From this point of view, if the problem of corruption cannot be solved, it is simply impossible for them to obtain more sources of funding by expanding tax sources or strengthening tax revenues. And if they can't raise more money, their debt crisis will not be resolved, and they will have to turn to a few other eurozone powers. ”

"These are real problems, and it is impossible to solve them without more than five years of policy stability and strong implementation."

Zhong Shi hit the nail on the head and said, "Another thing to consider is their tourism industry, but because of the current external environment and the instability of their domestic political situation, it is already good for them to be able to maintain the same income as last year, but these have not helped their situation in the slightest." Because their debt is so high, about 1.3 times the GDP of the whole, they can only exchange a part of the old debt for new debt to pay interest and maintain creditworthiness, but this method is very clear to us, it is just a way to quench their thirst. And when the creditworthiness of this part of the deferred debt is hit, the creditworthiness of the whole country is over! ”

"So I think our first step is to find ways to reduce the credibility of the Greek national debt and even the government!"

In the end, Zhong Shi gave his own strategy, "If S&P, Moody's, and Fitch are downgraded together, the effect can be maximized!" (To be continued.) )
