Chapter 211 [Inflated Strength Drives Ambition Up]

"Huh?"

Luo Sheng, who was lying comfortably and naturally on the bed, opened his work-specific laptop, and when he opened his mailbox, he saw several specially encrypted email messages, which were sent by Michael Barry of the heirloom hedge fund and John Paulson of the Paulson hedge fund.

Luo Sheng clicked on the email list.

[Mr. Luo, part of your income of $5.475 billion has been remitted to your designated account, and the Fund has brought you the first return on investment of up to 685%, and we will continue to remit the subsequent income to your account. Sincerely, Michael Barry. ]

Immediately after, Luo Sheng opened the message sent by John Paulson.

[Mr. Luo, some of the income generated by your Paulson Fund has now been remitted to your designated account, totaling $6.21 billion, with a return on investment of 679%, and more will continue to be remitted to your account, you are welcome.] Yours sincerely, John Paulson. ]

Seeing these two pieces of information, Luo Sheng subconsciously grinned and said, "Nai... This~~! ”

How long has it been since the beginning of the year with $6.2 billion in the market? Now that 11.685 billion US dollars has arrived, Luo Sheng roughly estimates that there should be about two-thirds of the income in the future.

What's even more exaggerated is that this money is a net income, a cash flow, and the taxes that should be paid are already on the ground, and a round of harvest is a rich country.

As soon as this income is remitted to Luo Sheng's account, it means that his wealth does not count the follow-up income, and with the increase in value brought by the stock gain of Bluestar Technology, he has surpassed Bill Gates, the richest man in the world.

Luo Sheng stared at the computer screen motionlessly, and it took a while before closing the laptop.

He can imagine that Wall Street in the Western Hemisphere is probably in a state of extreme madness at this moment, with Michael Barry and John Paulson both selling their credit default swaps and cashing out at the moment.

The $6.2 billion that Luo Sheng brought was worth $142.6 billion in nominal terms.

Now companies such as Goldman Sachs and Da Mo are frantically buying credit default swaps held by the big short in the market, or deleveraging, or shorting themselves backhanded, and so on.

For example, in the case of a credit default swap in the hands of the Successor Fund, Michael sold a credit default swap worth $800 million in notional value to Goldman Sachs for $300 million.

If this credit default swap is a bet with Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs can theoretically hedge $500 million from it, and if it is a bet with other investment banks, it means that Goldman Sachs can also make a lot of money from it, which is equivalent to pumping other people's blood to fill their own holes.

Today's major investment banks, the first task is to hedge their debts, survival is the first priority, in order to survive at the same time, from prey to hunter in an instant, for example, Goldman Sachs is such an example, short yourself and short others.

For the Heirs Fund, it may seem like a loss to sell $300 million with a nominal value of $800 million, but don't forget that he only invested $34 million in it and is now selling for $300 million.

$800 million is fictitious, and $300 million is now a real dollar bill.

To put it simply, the credit default swap that Michael bought for $34 million is now worth $800 million in nominal terms, but he sold the credit default swap worth $800 million to Goldman Sachs at a net price of $300 million in order to get out of the market early.

This investment brought a 782% return to the heir fund, and the money was successfully exited, and this credit default swap was Goldman Sachs.

As for how Goldman Sachs will deal with this credit default swap, Michael doesn't care that it has nothing to do with him now, and he is only responsible for his own investors.

……

Following.

As soon as Luo Sheng came to the company, Qin Weimu came to his office to report.

"I have received information that the net income of $11.685 billion has been remitted to multiple fund pool accounts, mainly in the hands of UBS, but UBS may become the biggest loser in the subprime mortgage crisis."

Qin Weimu's prediction is not unreasonable, according to foreign news, due to the subprime mortgage crisis, UBS was forced to write off non-performing assets for the second time, with a total of 21 billion Swiss francs, or about 19.6 billion US dollars, which is the heaviest loss among the world's major banks so far.

It was followed by Bank of Merrill Lynch ($15.6 billion), Citibank ($12.4 billion), Deutsche Bank ($9.8 billion), Huifeng Bank ($9.2 billion), Morgan Stanley ($7.2 billion), Bank of America ($6.6 billion), etc.

"According to Wall Street analysts' estimates, UBS has not yet come out of the quagmire, and it will definitely have to carry out a third write-off, which will cost $17.7 billion, and now the market value of UBS shares has fallen by 23%, and to come out of the crisis, UBS must carry out a large-scale capital increase plan." Qin Weimu added.

It's miserable.

Luo Sheng shrugged, it wasn't himself anyway, and after a moment, he looked at Qin Weimu and asked, "How much of our fund is on UBS's account?" ”

Hearing this, Qin Weimu immediately said: "About 57%, but you don't have to worry that UBS will go bankrupt, this is one of the best banks in the world with the best credit system." ”

Luo Sheng nodded with a smile: "I know if you don't say this." ”

UBS is just losing blood this time, but it will certainly not go bankrupt, otherwise the world does not know how many rich people will explode on the spot.

It is worth mentioning that the huge wealth harvested by Luo Sheng is currently invisible, and most of the assets are held in custody with UBS.

Luo Sheng can also be announced, and it will definitely cause a sensation all over the world, and at the same time, it will also be criticized by countless people, and will be crowned with the titles of "super short" and "capitalist who eats human blood steamed buns".

Luo Sheng actually didn't care about these evaluations at all, and the reason why he hid the wealth harvested in the subprime mortgage crisis was because he didn't want to affect the business of the two companies because of this windfall.

If it is announced, it will definitely be hated by the Americans, and even use its hands to retaliate against and suppress Bluestar Technology or Cote d'Azur, which will outweigh the losses.

Anyway, the money has already arrived, but it is divided into two, the assets on the surface and the invisible assets.

However, it is only a matter of time before it is discovered, and Luo Sheng has long been mentally prepared for this, but it doesn't matter, anyway, whether it is discovered or not, the Americans will definitely suppress their own enterprises in the future, it makes no difference, so now you can make as much money as you can.

Qin Weimu sat down in the vacant seat next to him, "You don't want to make this asset public and let the world know that you have reaped a fortune by betting on the North American housing market, so how can this asset be used?" ”

Once it works, then it will have to be explained to the outside world about the source of this huge amount of funding, and even if it is not explained, it will soon be found out.

The money is now offshore, simply put, overseas, not domestically.

And so far, it is not known that he is the actual owner of this money.

Luo Sheng smiled: "Can a living person still be suffocated to death by urine?" The money, of course, will not lie still all the time, which is the most stupid. The real purpose of my harvest is not to increase the value of my wealth by a few strings of zeros, of course, it is to invest in my research and development of science and technology. ”

Hearing him say this, Qin Weimu thought thoughtfully, and after a while, he looked at Luo Sheng and said: "I have thought of a way to get the best of both worlds, you can register an investment company in Cayman, and then enter the mainland as a foreign capital to cooperate with the Cote d'Azur, which is equivalent to investing in yourself, and in the future, you can withdraw your capital and then sell the business in the mainland to yourself, and sell it to yourself as cheaply as possible." ”

Immediately afterwards, Qin Weimu added: "Another advantage is that the offshore capital is huge, which is more conducive to the layout of global business behind the scenes, any business. ”

At the end, Luo Sheng looked at Qin Weimu and boasted to him: "You are very familiar with the routines in capital operation, okay, just do what you say, you go and deal with it, and report to me when it's over." ”

Qin Weimu: "Hmm. ”

Her proposal made Luo Sheng suddenly have a more ambitious idea, to become the most powerful behind-the-scenes controller in this world, technology can change the world, and it can also control the world.

If it was in 2003, Luo Sheng would definitely not have this kind of thought, at that time he was actually quite "simple" and wanted to change the world.

But as time passed, reason gradually told him that if he was born in a big time and became the promoter of the times, if he wanted to do something and realize the ideals in his heart, many times he couldn't help himself and had no choice.

If you don't want to be at the mercy of fate, then you can only go hard, otherwise you will face the crazy suppression and sanctions from all sides, especially North America, and your brilliant achievements may eventually be deprived of all and become the wedding dress of others.

No matter what, you can only go on with your head.

This kind of imagination Luo Sheng quickly pressed into the deepest part of his heart, returning to reality, he would not deliberately move towards this goal, but everything would go naturally.
