As soon as Zhong Shi said the words "We are opponents without withering flowers", there was a loud exclamation in the next room, and then all kinds of noisy discussions suddenly sounded, which formed a sharp contrast with the silent silence just now. Live director: Jeremy. Brian frowned when he heard this, waved his hand at the staff, and immediately someone walked out quietly, and after a few moments, he could no longer hear the voice from next door.

Obviously, Hu Ping's team, which was just across the wall, was particularly surprised and shocked by Zhong Shi's answer, knowing that this is equivalent to telling the entire market that he is the mastermind behind the collapse of the Buhua Fund, although it is not necessarily the main culprit, but it must be one of the murderers.

Such a high-profile display of one's identity is actually very rare on Wall Street. Generally speaking, even those super funds, after sniping some opponents, tend to "kill one person in ten steps, and leave a thousand miles away", leaving the media to guess their identities after making huge gains. Because they know that once they are exposed, they will add countless variables, and most of these variables will lead to unfavorable consequences.

Keeping positions secretive is something that large hedge fund managers know, although it is sometimes impossible to keep it completely secret.

Hu Ping's team, who knew the inside story, were so shocked and sighed, not to mention the other traders in the market who were watching the show, it was like throwing a small pebble on the surface of a quiet lake, and the ripples spread quickly in all directions.

Sean, who was sitting in front of Zhong Shi, was also shocked, and he originally just wanted to give an example to refute Zhong Shi's point of view. Where did he ever think that the other party was the protagonist of the incident, or one of the protagonists, which made him not know what to do next for a while, so he could only ask rhetorically: "Are you ...... Are you their opponent? ”

"Of course!" Zhong Shi agreed with one bite, but then explained, "Actually, it is not accurate to say that the opponent is not accurate, we should say that we have noticed that the price difference in some months in the natural gas market is beyond the reasonable price range, which makes us see the possibility of profit." So we bought in big. Luckily. Because of the rumors of a warm winter, the price difference in these months has been restored to the normal price range, which has allowed us to make a little money. As for what happened to the Withered Flowers, I can only say sorry. But this kind of thing happens in the market all the time. That's how life is. Isn't it? ”

Sean listened to Zhong Shi's answer with his head sideways, and at the same time pressed the microphone in his ear with his hand, listening carefully to the information given by the live director. But take advantage of this time. Zhang Xiaomin took the opportunity to take the microphone from his hand and began to ask Zhong Shi: "Mr. Zhong, let's put aside this qiē about your US market, as a top figure in the financial world, do you have any opinions or opinions about the domestic capital market in China. As we all know, although there is also a capital market in China, it is only a simple financing market at present, and it is far from being able to compare with the financial market in the United States in terms of system and trading varieties. ”

"This?" Zhong Shi pondered for a moment before shaking his head helplessly and said with a smile, "Regarding the function of the financial market, I believe we don't need to discuss it further. It is precisely because of the first need to ensure the financing function that the first consideration of the management of Huaxia is to temporarily not open the short-selling mechanism. In addition, in the futures market, the variety and scale that can be traded are still too small, and it is important to know that futures are quite important to the pricing power of commodities. So what I can personally give is that if you can't develop and grow your own exchanges in the short term, then you might as well go out and buy foreign exchanges at the right time. In addition, it is necessary to use heavy regulations in terms of regulation, and at the same time strictly restrict the illegal inflow of foreign capital to bulge the market, protect domestic investors, and so on. I believe that these regulators will notice, I am not a professional in this area, so I can only give some general advice, I hope you don't feel that I am perfunctory. ”

Although they are all clichés, Zhang Xiaomin is undoubtedly very satisfied. Just as he was about to ask Zhong Shi a few more questions, Chris beside him. Snitty took the lead and asked: "Mr. Zhong, since you just talked about the U.S. economy, does this is the first time you have appeared in the U.S. media, does it mean anything, or do you see favorable investment opportunities in the U.S. economic development, I wonder if you can tell us a little bit about this aspect?" ”

"Of course!" Zhong Shi leaned forward slightly, and replied with a serious expression, "It is undeniable that there are a large number of companies with stable profits and great development potential in the US capital market, especially in terms of high-tech innovation. In case you don't know, I held a lot of high-tech stocks in the 90s, and the rapid growth of these companies over the years has led to a rapid rise in stock prices. In addition to these companies, I also closely follow the development of growth companies such as nascent media and social networks, and our funds have invested in many similar companies, such as Facebook, which is not much different from what we have done in China. ”

"In addition to these high-tech and innovative companies, I also pay close attention to the stocks of large financial institutions. In my opinion, although they have grown in size and profits, after a careful study of their profit model, I found that most of their profits come from FICC, i.e. fixed income bonds, foreign exchange and commodity futures. The potential dangers of this profit model far outweigh the risks of developing innovative products to obtain a profit model, so I am bearish on this model in the long term. ”

"Overall, these are my views on the current U.S. capital markets. Of course, these are just my personal opinions, and even the organization I work for is not representative, and if someone follows my logic, I will not be held responsible for any risks, and that's all. ”

After talking about a lot of things, Zhong Shi finally jokingly brushed off all the legal responsibilities he might bear, naturally, these can't be given to others. You must know that in the United States there are the most litigants, if there are really people who are nervous and really want to be investigated. Although it will not have any substantial impact on him, it will damage his reputation after all.

I have to say that these are Zhong Shi's heartfelt words. But to Chris, the authenticity is greatly discounted, although he has not been tracking these markets for a long time, but he also knows on weekdays that the so-called financial companies that Zhong Shi said have recorded amazing bonuses and dividends in recent years, and even some management personnel can get an average annual salary of hundreds of millions of dollars, and in terms of ordinary employees. It is said that a junior analyst at Goodman earns millions of dollars in his first year on the job. It was a lot more than he knew before.

In any case, in recent years, large investment banks have obviously been in a situation of flowers and fire, not to mention a crisis, and even investors who are bearish on their stocks are probably very few.

"This Mr. Zhong has a unique point of view. But it's also a little too alarmist! Chris thought to himself. Silently handed the microphone to Sean beside him. Bonner. For a moment he couldn't think of any suitable topic to continue.

"Wow, it's my time again!" Sean. Bonner took the microphone and exclaimed in surprise. Then he suddenly threw out a very inappropriate question, "Dare to ask Mr. Zhong, how much is your net worth now?" ”

"This ......" Zhong Shi hesitated, staring into the other party's eyes and asked seriously, "Are you sure you want to ask that?" ”

As soon as Sean saw the play, he said without hesitation: "I'm sure, of course, I'm afraid that people in front of the TV screen are curious, how much money can a famous financial elite like you make over the years." Of course, I hope you can be honest and don't give some numbers that we don't even believe. ”

"Wow, that's a sharp question!" Zhong Shi smiled, snapped his fingers, and calculated for a long time before giving a range, "If you follow the ranking on the Forbes list last year, believe that I am in the top three, so I believe you will understand." But what I really want to say is that when money reaches a certain amount, it becomes a pure accumulation of numbers, so I made a will very early on, after my death, I will donate all my property, a large part of it will be used for charity, and the other small part will be donated to those companies that can bring benefits to all mankind, the most innovative companies, the specific details will not be announced here, and everyone will know at that time. ”

"Top three?" Sean didn't listen to the following words at all, and after gasping for air, he said extremely exaggeratedly, "Mr. Zhong, you are not wrong, you must know that to be able to reach the top three level, you must have a net worth of at least more than 40 billion US dollars." It's $40 billion, not $40 billion, and you don't miscalculate the currency. ”

"Of course, $40 billion." Zhong Shi pursed his lips, a little dissatisfied with Sean's relentless pursuit in his heart, but still patiently explained, "I own nearly 10% of Amazon's shares, and I also have a 35% stake in an oil company with a market value of more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars, just these two investments, the current market value should exceed 20 billion US dollars, how about it, do you still have doubts about my net worth?" ”

Sean was speechless for a while, but fortunately he reacted quickly enough, and after smiling self-deprecatingly, he continued: "Okay, these are all digressions just now, and we will reveal them here." Now that we're back to the point, the apocalyptic argument you just talked about isn't really new, because there have been a lot of similar statements before you, but I'm not going to argue with you today about what the future holds. So, let's assume that the kind of situation you are talking about will happen in the future, so what kind of advice would you give today to help these institutions or people get out of or avoid similar crises? ”

"This seems unlikely!" Zhong Shi touched the tip of his nose, his expression was slightly embarrassed, and in the stunned eyes of the other three, he sighed helplessly and explained, "Greed, of course greed. This flaw in human nature cannot be changed, and no matter how rational a person is, it is impossible to get rid of this flaw. So, instead of thinking about how to prevent this from happening, think about how to save it when it happens. In addition, some regulatory regimes may also need to be changed, as they may not be suitable for the new environment. ”

The three of them looked at each other, and at this time, the on-site director also switched to other screens in due time, leaving a buffer time of a few minutes. Then several people began to talk about some other aspects of the problem with tacit understanding, and the scene became harmonious for a while.

……

"Boss, what the hell does he mean?"

In the office of the Sagittarius Fund, after hearing Zhong Shi's statement that the U.S. economy would go down and disclose his identity as a sniper for the Unwilted Fund, Conrad was suspicious and hurriedly asked John, who was also frowning. Arnold, "If the gas market is going to squeeze a giant like him, then we don't have much room to operate, this guy is so horrible that he has so much money, oh my God, how did he do it." ”

"It turned out to be him, no wonder Hu rejected my solicitation!" John. Arnold had a hint of self-deprecation on his face, "Yes, with his prestige in the financial markets, will any trader refuse his olive branch?" This legendary guy knows that he has definitely not stopped in the past few years, but he never thought that this guy would accumulate so much capital in silence, what a fucking genius! ”

"Boss, what the hell are you talking about?" Conrad was confused, he could faintly hear that what the other party said was naturally Zhongshi, but the other party was currently involved in the natural gas market, and it was obvious that he was going to grab food in their bowl, and his boss was still indifferent, which made him extremely puzzled, "Why did he expose his business in the natural gas market?" Don't you think it's not big enough? ”

"No, don't worry!" John. Arnold shook his head slightly and said, "If I didn't miscalculate, this guy would have disappeared from the gas market, so they wouldn't pose a threat to us." ”

At this time, Conrad was even more confused, and his blue eyes were full of puzzlement, "Boss, what are you talking about, why can't I understand a word?" This...... What the hell is going on, hey, don't go! ”

"I'm going to have a coffee!" John. Arnold stopped, smiled at the anxious Conred, and said, "As for the reason, you can figure it out for yourself." God forbid, we're on this guy's side this time. (To be continued......)
