Chapter 122: "Dog" Bites "Dog"
When I saw Julian Robertson, Billy. Jin was even more uneasy in his heart, and his speech became more and more stammering: "It's just...... It's just that...... According to the news from my other line, it said...... said that Xu Youtian not only accepted our money, but also ...... I also took money from others. ”
"What?" Julian Robertson, who was still angry, was immediately stunned and couldn't say a word for a long time. But after all, he is not an ordinary person, after taking a long breath and barely controlling his emotions, he said slowly: "Damn, why is this Korean so insatiable, he actually played the trick of one servant and two masters." ”
Billy. Jin was speechless for a while, thinking that since Xu Youtian had betrayed, it was reasonable to take a few more money, and there was no reason to let Xu Youtian only be loyal to the Tiger Fund. However, he was not worried about this, and after seeing Julian Robertson's mood eased slightly, he boldly said: "Boss, this is not the most important thing. According to the information I have obtained, it is said that our spy is still in contact with some people in Hong Kong, and it is not clear who exactly is, but I have a rough range. ”
"......" Julian Robertson pondered for a moment, his face changed several times, and finally he sighed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the Quantum Fund has an office in Hong Kong, where an economist runs around for him, isn't it?" ”
"That's right!" Billy. Jin's face showed a look of admiration at the right time, and he gave a thumbs up and praised: "In the end, it's the boss, and it doesn't take much effort to guess the other party." Not bad. Another company Xu Youtian serves is the Quantum Fund, and its connector is Rodney. Jones. ”
Hearing that what he thought was confirmed, Julian Robertson was furious, slammed the table and scolded loudly: "This son of a bitch is so despicable and obscene, and he actually does such a thing without business ethics." For God's sake, I must teach him a good lesson about the retribution of greed. ”
Billy on the side. Jin Banxi was speechless, and he didn't know what to say at this time. You know, Julian Robertson, while angrily scolding someone, selectively ignores that he is doing the same thing. It's just Billy. Kim wouldn't be stupid enough to point out the mistakes in the boss's statement at this time.
After another long day of tantrums. Julian Robertson gradually calmed down. Looking at the table, he said to himself, "That way, everything can be explained." They first took advantage of our inside line, and then turned around to build a short position before us, taking advantage of the depreciation of the won. That's odious enough. Now the inside line has been caught again. If they want to make a name for themselves. The most likely thing to do is to put all the blame on our heads, which is highly likely to happen. If it were me, I would have done it. Right. That's it. ”
Thinking of this, he slapped the table again and shouted in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, then I will preemptively issue a statement and let them suffer a dumb loss." With that, he turned to look at Billy. Kim, with an eerie smile on his face.
Billy, who was still looking down and wondering. Kim looked up and saw Julian Robertson's weird smile, and his heart couldn't help but sink, although he didn't understand why Julian Robertson was laughing, but his intuition told him that the deep meaning behind this smile was definitely related to himself, and it was not necessarily a good thing.
"You! Come here! Julian Robertson yelled at Billy. Kim hooked his finger and motioned for him to step forward.
Americans will keep a certain distance between conversations and exchanges, and this distance makes both sides feel comfortable, which is their communication culture. And those of the same sex who are closer to each other are often perceived as having an ambiguous relationship.
Billy. Jin only felt that the chrysanthemum was tight, and thought to himself that this boss didn't have any bad rumors on weekdays, could it be that he hid it too deeply, and others didn't know that he was gay? But at this time, he seemed to have no more choice, so he could only walk up to Julian Robertson, and asked in a trembling voice, "Boss, what do you need me to do?" ”
At this time, he was already holding the psychology of chrysanthemum insecurity, and there was an expression of death on his face, which made Julian Robertson slightly unhappy, but at this time, he didn't have time to care about this, he stared straight at Billy. Jin's eyes lowered his voice and said, "I need you to contact some media and say ...... to the outside news."
It's not interesting to see the big boss for him, Billy. Jin Zai secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and nodded again and again: "Okay, no problem, I'll do it right away, and I guarantee that all major media will be on the eye-catching page tomorrow." ”
……
The next day, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post published a similar report, which was quite appalling, with the headline directly promoting the imminent depreciation of the won, and mentioning that the South Korean government was about to loosen the control of the fluctuation of the won. The news invariably cites an anonymous source who has studied the hedge fund industry on condition of anonymity, saying that a well-known hedge fund that has profited heavily from the depreciation of the baht has been going all out to short the won, and so far the hedge fund alone is said to have shorted at least $10 billion in its position. Previously, the founder of this hedge fund openly declared that the Asian currency crisis was nearing its end, and as a result, he went back on his word and secretly collaborated with some international investors to attack a country's monetary system that was not in good economic condition, which really damaged the reputation of the entire hedge fund industry.
At the same time, the report pointed out that South Korea's foreign exchange reserves are not much, even less than a month's import amount, the Bank of Korea has been discussing the possibility of stopping the disk protection, and the ruling party and the opposition parties have a great disagreement on this, it is reported that the relevant resolution will be discussed at the recent South Korean National Assembly, when the Bank of Korea will choose whether to continue to intervene in the foreign exchange market according to the results of the resolution. According to anonymous sources, the situation is not optimistic for now.
As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused a sensation in the entire market. Although the article does not name the other party, anyone who has studied the Asian currency crisis in the past few months can see it at a glance. The spearhead of these articles is precisely the Quantum Fund.
In another more important financial newspaper "Financial Times", it also published a lot of information on this day, very coincidentally, the other party is also a veteran of the hedge fund industry, and also an anonymous person who does not want to be named, and the content released is that an employee of the Bank of Korea has recently been arrested for leaking news, which is rumored to be related to a hedge fund in the United States, which is named after some kind of fierce animal.
Similarly, anyone who knows a little bit about the hedge fund industry will not be able to guess the identity of this hedge fund. It is a well-known Tiger Fund.
The two top hedge funds unexpectedly released news that was unfavorable to each other. This made analysts fall into a state of confusion for a while, not understanding whose news is true and whose news is false.
But for the won, it doesn't matter who is true or false of the two news. Or maybe it's all true and it's all false. It doesn't matter anymore. Because it means that the won is already being targeted by top hedge funds, and it is only a matter of time before it continues to fall.
This is despite the fact that the South Korean government has flatly denied the existence of commercial espionage and reserves the right to hold several important financial media outlets legally responsible. But the won still suffered a lot of losses. During the Asian trading session, the won briefly approached the important mark of 1,000 won per dollar, but it was only after the Bank of Korea spared no effort to protect the market that it finally managed to close at 997.90.
……
"Zhong Sheng, what's going on?" When the transaction was over, Ren Ruowei rushed to Zhong Shi's office as soon as possible, holding two completely different newspapers and asked in a deep voice.
Strictly speaking, both pieces of news are good news for short won, but there has always been a misconception in the hedge fund industry that they are connected and working together. Under the intentional or unintentional rendering of the media, this incorrect impression has been invisibly amplified a lot.
Although Ren Ruowei also works in Tianyu Fund, that is, within the hedge fund, they have almost no connection with the hedge fund in the United States, and the only impression they have is formed through the media, so they naturally have a preconceived idea that international speculators are conjoined babies.
He didn't suspect that Zhong Shi had played any role in it, in fact, Zhong Shi only knew that there was such a thing as Lu Dao after seeing relevant reports, that is, Xu Youtian actually acted as an inside line for several financial institutions. Naturally, the report published in the Financial Times is none of his business.
Seeing that he broke in without even knocking on the door, Zhong Shi frowned and said unhappily, "What's the matter?" Are you asking me or am you blaming me? If it's an inquiry, such an attitude? If it's to blame, then get out of here immediately, and get as far away as possible! ”
Ren Ruowei originally just wanted to ask about the specific reason, but he was busy with trading, and finally found time, and under the anxiety in his heart, his actions and tone were a little abrupt. Hearing Zhong Shi's sharp reprimand, he reacted and said curtly: "Sorry, boss, I didn't mean that." I was just so anxious that I forgot to count the courtesies......"
Hearing such an explanation, Zhong Shi's face softened, and he pointed his finger at him, reminding: "If there is a next time, then you can pack up my baggage and leave." ”
As soon as he heard this, Ren Ruowei felt a chill in his heart, and nodded his head again and again. Generally speaking, even if he was fired and took away his previous share in the Tianyu Fund, Ren Ruowei would not care so much, after all, he is now at least a character with a net worth of tens of millions of dollars. It's just that for people at this level, money may not be very important anymore, and being able to compete with international speculators and world-level peers is what they are pursuing.
Just like Ren Ruowei, if he walks out of the Tianyu Fund at this time, there will definitely be a lot of funds to hire him, but there are very few funds that can come up with five billion dollars for him to "squander" at one time, I am afraid there will not even be one. In this case, he naturally cherishes his position in the Tianyu Fund.
Seeing that Ren Ruowei lowered his eyebrows and realized his mistake, Zhong Shi lightly swept the newspaper in his hand and said slowly: "What's so strange about this!" Typical dog-eat-dog. If I'm not mistaken, both of them have inside lines for the Bank of Korea, and both of them know that their own inside lines also serve each other, so they just took this opportunity to make a statement and put their relationship aside. ”
"So what's going to happen next?" Ren Ruowei's face was black and white, and it really changed for a long time, and finally accepted this statement, which was very likely to be true, and then immediately thought of the follow-up reaction, and couldn't wait to blurt it out.
"Follow-up?" Zhong Shi pursed his lips and said disappreciatively: "Since we can guess, then everyone else in the market will guess, with these two major hedge funds taking the lead, I believe that soon there will be a climax of shorting in the Korean won market." If I'm not mistaken, the loss of the won will be in these two days! ”
Ren Ruowei's face twitched suddenly, and he was stunned on the spot. (To be continued......)
