Despite a few words, Bloomberg was the first to publish breaking news on its terminals with the sensational headline, "X-Spatial is targeting Italy and Spain."

Strictly speaking, this headline is not accurate enough, but the expatriate correspondent who interviewed Jiang Shan was very clever and very knowledgeable about the economic situation and hot news, and when he asked Jiang Shan about Italy and Spain, he had such a headline ready.

In addition to the pitiful content of the interview with Jiang Shan, the article also added a conversation between Jiang Shan and the Italian Deputy Minister of Finance at the auction site of Italian short-term treasury bonds, as well as a little background introduction to Tianyu Fund.

Because the Tianyu fund is highly closed, even Bloomberg, which monitors the content of the chat, does not know the exact size of the funds, and can only say in general terms that it is "one of the largest hedge funds, about tens of billions of dollars".

However, even such a report still caused a violent shock in the entire market, because the market has long been rumored that Tianyu Fund is the vanguard of several previous attacks on European debt, and may even be one of the largest main forces.

It is no secret that in the hedge fund world, the name of Tianyu Fund is 100 times louder than that of the Quantum Fund of the year. Many hedge funds have gone to great lengths to find out what the funds are doing, but unfortunately most of them have found nothing.

Now that such a free message has suddenly arrived, how can this not make them ecstatic?

Soon, reconnaissance operations on the veracity of the news were carried out frequently, and Bloomberg received so many calls for inquiries that their customer service panicked. Eventually, after the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, CNBC and other media outlets released similar news, this doubt about the authenticity of the truth disappeared.

Beneath the lull lies an undercurrent, with many hedge funds plotting to attack the Italian and Spanish government markets, and even those in the middle of nowhere.

As a party, Tianyu Fund has never made any response, including admitting or denying this statement.

However, this situation was soon broken.

Greenwich.

This town, which is only a 45-minute drive from New York, has been shattered from the early morning of the day, and many luxury cars from New York have driven into this quiet town early in the morning.

Greenwich, one of the three centers of hedge funds, has no shortage of luxury homes and luxury cars, and it is one of the most concentrated areas in the United States for millionaires. But it's the quietness and seclusion that makes it a favorite place for billionaires to live.

And once there is a lively and noisy scene, although the people of the town are not impressed, they also know that something big must be happening.

This time the protagonist is the castle fund.

At seven o'clock in the morning, luxury cars drove into the office of the Castle Fund one after another, including stable high-end commercial vehicles, as well as all kinds of expensive and dazzling supercars, and the entire parking lot was full. At nine o'clock, the luxury car show came to an end.

"Gentlemen, the annual hedge fund meeting has started again!"

At nine o'clock in the morning, Griffin showed up at the venue on time and greeted everyone with a smile on his face, "Gentlemen, how have you been doing in the past year?" I'm sure everyone did a good job! ”

The so-called annual meeting of hedge funds is actually organized by Ken. Griffin started it to have a social gathering in the hedge fund industry, where they could also talk about the economic situation. In addition, if you apply in advance, you will be given time to speak.

At this meeting, there was a collective shorting of the Kaminari Brothers, which Griffin and the Castle Foundation called for, and after a great success, Griffin's popularity in the circle reached a point where it was in the middle of the day.

"Well, according to the previous practice, the person who has applied to speak this year is invited to come to the stage and explain his views!"

After a brief greeting, Griffin began the set agenda for the meeting. There are not many rules for this kind of social meeting, everyone is very free and relaxed, "If you come across a good point of view, don't bother us to sit down and talk slowly." ”

He concluded by emphasizing this point, which means that everyone is bound together and becomes a community of interests.

"Hi, I'm George, I'm from Wisconsin, and I run a $1.5 billion hedge fund!"

After Griffin left, a chubby hedge fund manager stepped up to the stage, introduced himself with a little nervousness, and then began to express his opinion, "In the last year, I found out that there was a problem with Verizon's corporate reporting, so I personally called their CFO to find out something about it......"

Ever since Griffin's successful shorting of the Remina Brothers, everyone wants to replicate his victory. So as soon as this guy named George came up, he couldn't wait to tell everyone that he was looking for the possibility of attacking Verizon.

It's just that after ten minutes passed, everyone just shook their heads vigorously, and no one echoed or even asked, and it was clear that the guy named George had not convinced everyone. After seeing this scene, George's face turned sometimes blue, sometimes pale, and he had to leave the microphone of the rostrum in a daze.

Everyone who can come here has a few brushes, and it is basically impossible to convince each other easily. Only well-reasoned, well-reasoned analyses can impress them, and of course, they have to expect to be lucrative.

The meeting ensued, and another guy took the stage to continue his speech.

After five or six people in a row, except for one guy's speech, which was a little highlight, the content of the other people's speeches was very average, which greatly disappointed many people here.

"Gentlemen, please prepare your cheers, and now let's welcome a heavyweight guest!"

Just after a hedge fund manager had finished his boring speech, Griffin stepped up and said emotionally, "I'm sure most of you wouldn't have thought this guy would be here for us." I'm not sure if he'll come in the future, but I'm sure that this time the trip will be worthwhile. ”

He deliberately sold a pass and did not say the name of this "important guest". But even so, it has succeeded in whetting everyone's appetite. These people are wondering which important person will appear.

I have to say that in the hedge fund world, there are also three, six, nine and so on. Hedge fund managers with more than $10 billion in funds under management generally do not appear on this occasion. One is because they themselves are in a rare position, they are extremely confident in themselves, and they don't need other people's opinions at all; On the other hand, they have various channels to get the news of this meeting, so there is no need to attend in person, after all, if someone wants to get some information at this kind of meeting, they can't fail to answer.

Therefore, most of the people attending this kind of meeting are small and mid-scale hedge funds in the industry, and it is rare to meet those top bigwigs.

"It can't be Paulson, right?" Someone immediately speculated.

It's no wonder, after all, that Paulson has been one of the most powerful managers in the hedge fund industry for the past few years. Many people are asking about Paulson's holdings, hoping to make a fortune following him.

"It's also possible that Dario, if this is the case, we will make a lot of money, this guy's macro analysis is simply a must!"

"It's hard to say, maybe it's Soros. Although this old guy is retired, his macro knowledge is definitely no worse than anyone else's. ”

……

While waiting, everyone disregarded the discipline of the venue and began to have all kinds of sexual immorality. In fact, it is quite difficult for them to meet the legendary boss. So being able to communicate with the legendary bigwigs face-to-face, they are also like star chasers, and their hearts are full of excitement and expectation.

Soon the mystery was revealed, and a young man with an oriental face walked in, walked to the microphone under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, and stood there quietly, without speaking.

"Who is this guy?"

This is the first reaction in the hearts of many people, and people who don't know Zhongshi are looking left and right, hoping that someone who knows them can explain.

"No, this guy is ......"

Slowly, someone finally began to recognize Zhong Shi.

"Who the hell is he?"

The person next to him hurriedly urged, "Who the hell is this guy?" Why am I not impressed at all, is he really the so-called 'important guest'? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, this guy should be Zhongshi!"

The recognized hedge fund manager lowered his voice and replied in an uncertain tone, "Maybe you don't know who he is." But Tianyu Fund, you should know, it was this guy who founded it. ”

"Tianyu Fund, is it the super fund that shorted Europe? Oh, my God! ”

The face of the guy who asked changed suddenly, and then looked at Zhong Shi's eyes full of awe and admiration, and his voice changed unconsciously, "Is it really that guy?" He didn't forget to make sure again.

"It should be!"

Another guy was also excited, "I remember he used to fight lawsuits and appeared in newspapers. It should be him, can't be wrong! ”

The same conversation was going on quietly in other parts of the room. Soon, Zhong Shi's identity was known to everyone.

Zhong Shi had been standing in front of the microphone, waiting for everyone's reaction without saying a word, and he didn't mean to say anything.

Suddenly, one of the hedge fund managers sitting at the front stood up without warning and began to applaud. This action baffled the crowd, but soon a second person stood up and clapped in imitation, followed by a third and a fourth......

At the end, the entire room stood up and applauded enthusiastically for two minutes, until Zhong Shi waved them to stop, and the applause gradually subsided.

The reason why people did this was not because they were instructed to do so, but because of the respect that came from their hearts. Although they didn't know how big the Tianyu Fund was, they knew very well that the young man in front of them was much better than them.

Zhong Shi also knew very well what they thought in his heart, and his demeanor naturally accepted such a high standard of treatment from them.

"Gentlemen, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

He finally spoke, "I'm sure you should know who I am, yes, I'm Zhongshi." Today, I would like to share with you my views on the economic situation, and I hope that you will be able to speak freely. ”

He began his speech with a very equal attitude, saying that it was a discussion, not a one-sided indoctrination.

"I heard that your fund is shorting Italian and Spanish bonds, is there such a thing?"

But as soon as Zhong Shi's words fell, someone immediately stood up and asked a very sharp question, "I read what Bloomberg said above." Not only that, but several media outlets reported similar news at the same time. May I ask Mr. Zhong, is this true? ”

He couldn't wait for Zhong Shi's speech, so he asked directly.

As soon as his question was raised, everyone present immediately held their breath and did not dare to make a single noise, they were all waiting for Zhong Shi's answer. (To be continued.) )
