Chapter 70: I Come from the Future (I)
Cleveland, at 12 midnight, Eisen-House felt a parchment in his mouth, and he had a martini in front of him, but he didn't take a sip, purely because he didn't want to make a bad impression on the person opposite.
Because he knew very well that the tall, yellow-skinned young man sitting across from him would be able to give him a job to save his family on the brink of a cliff.
Although he doesn't understand why the other party needs a venture capitalist like himself, as long as he wants to, there are a large number of investors with excellent performance, good reputation, and extensive connections who are willing to become his partners. He knew very well the commercial value of the yellow-skinned young man opposite, it was simply a mountain of gold, an unexplored gold mine, as long as it was properly developed, it could not be described as a matter of day.
"What the hell is going on in his mind?" Eisen-House's mind was full of doubts, and he even wondered if the young man in front of him was deliberately entertaining himself, because ...... He really couldn't find a reason why this young man needed himself as an unemployed.
Eisen-House is observing Zhang Kong, and Zhang Kong is also observing House. A middle-aged man in his forties, with gray temples, proved that he was under a lot of pressure during this time, and although he was a little cramped sitting there, he generally seemed very calm. The meticulous care of his hair, his suits, and everything on his body was in stark contrast to his casual self, which at least showed that Eisen-House took this meeting quite seriously.
"Yes, it should be the person I need." Zhang Kong didn't care about Eisenhouse's ability, because the plan he was about to implement didn't need Eisenhouse's special ability and judgment, he just needed Eisenhouse's enough obedience.
After taking a sip of vodka, he gently placed the wine glass on the table, and the crisp sound of the ding-dong, ice cubes and glasses hitting each other was like a bell, and the crisp ding-dong sound made Eisen-House instantly concentrate.
"So, Mr. House." Zhang Kong smiled lightly and said: "You came here for a job, and I just need someone to help me do something, something you are very good at, the financial industry." ”
"Yes sir, I do need this job very much." When it comes to work, Eisen-Howston is thrilled that he wouldn't have flown from New York to Cleveland if he didn't want to, and now he's like a drowning man, trying to hold on to the last glimmer of hope, even if it's just a straw that won't save his life.
"Whatever you need me to do, I promise, I'll ......"
"I don't need your assurance." Zhang Kong shook his head, vetoed his words in Eisen's worried eyes, and then took out a document from the briefcase he was carrying: "This is the employment contract I gave you, if there is no problem, please sign it." ”
Zhang Kong consulted Rich Paul about this contract, and under the repeated assurances of his lawyer friend, Zhang Kong was convinced that this contract did not leave any loopholes that could be exploited, and that this contract was extremely beneficial to Zhang Kong. Eisen-House looked at the contract seriously, and after only a few reads, he saw that it was a very harsh contract, and even the requirements in many places were simply unreasonable, but when he looked through the column about the wage agreement, when he saw the series of zeros, Fang Cai's dissatisfaction and harshness disappeared in an instant.
"Annual salary...... One...... A million dollars! When he saw this annual salary, Eisen-House's breathing became heavy, if he could get this salary, then all the difficulties he is facing now will disappear in an instant, as long as he survives this most difficult period, he believes that he will always find a way to get on the right track.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you want me to do?" After a little hesitation, Eisen-House finally put down the contract and asked seriously.
Notice the change in Eisen-House's expression and hear him ask the question again. Zhang Kong understands that it is a sure thing that he will sign his name on this contract. Of course, Zhang Kong will not be bored enough to hire an unemployed person casually, give him a million annual salary and then do nothing to provide for it, the only purpose can only be to make more money.
"Take care of my property and take care of my investments." Zhang Kong gave a very simple answer.
As a thirty-year-old social eliminator before being reborn, Zhang Kong knew quite well how important money was in this world. When your net worth reaches 10 million, you will usher in countless eyes of envy and hatred, and you can indulge in lust and spending. When you have a net worth of 100 billion, what you have is no longer money, not just a string of numbers, what you have is influence.
No matter who you are, when you see the unclear number of zeros behind your personal assets, they will carefully consider the price against you, and even the state agencies must be cautious. Unless you're caught evading taxes by the IRS, they're going to get you out of business.
This is especially true in the United States, where the Golden Yuan Society is located. Soros is not an official, Bill Gates is not an official, Murdoch is not an official, and the bankers on Wall Street are not officials, but they are the real rulers of this country, and one percent of the people control 99 percent of the country's wealth, and they are fully capable and have the right to decide everything.
Otherwise, you pick up a gun and kill them, then divide their wealth and put yourself in the position of oligarch, or you will have to submit to their rule.
Zhang Kong didn't want to become a ruler, but he didn't mind making his life more comfortable.
That being the case, there were ready-made methods in front of him, and he didn't mind using them. Thanks to his previous work, he is well aware of the financial changes in the United States during this period of change, when the subprime mortgage crisis erupted in 2008, which was mainly manifested in the collapse of the stock market, the collapse of investment banks and the extreme contraction of the real estate industry. This is the consequence of George W. Bush's administration in the past eight years, and the armed intervention around the world has saddled the government with a huge fiscal deficit, so that when the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, the US government could do nothing, because they had no money on their hands, but were burdened with huge debts.
It's a painful journey for American bankers, but for the few who have the foresight, it's a great opportunity to make money, and just by shorting stocks, you can become the richest man in the world. Of course, there must be corresponding funding.
"Well, Mr. Eisen, your first job, and your first test, is to short Vining Pharmaceutical. Just use that check you have. Three months from now, I want to see the results. ”
"What?" Hearing what Zhang Kong said, Ai Sen was stunned for a moment, although he knew that it was inappropriate to do this, but out of the ethics of a professional manager, he couldn't help but stand up: "Wait a minute, please wait for Mr. Zhang." I don't know if you know, Vining Pharmaceutical is a blue chip stock, its stock has grown steadily in the past year, I don't think that shorting Vining Pharmaceutical can make any gains, and even lose a lot. ”
"You've got too many questions." Zhang Kong frowned and said, Aisen's view can be said to be the mainstream view of American investors, but in Zhang Kong's view, the so-called blue chip stock of Weining Pharmaceutical is undoubtedly a stock that is about to plummet.
Vining Pharmaceutical Group is one of the largest pharmaceutical groups in the United States, and its main business is painkillers, and it has a long-term market share of 20% in painkillers, which is the biggest reason why it is considered to be a blue chip stock.
There are many reasons for the collapse of Vining Pharmaceutical, but the main reason is the lawsuit involving its board of directors and executive chairman, as well as their new drug 'selomon'. As a special painkiller drug launched by Vining Pharmaceutical, 'siromone' was confirmed to be a potentially lethal drug just before the new drug was launched, especially for heart function.
And more importantly, after 'Seromon', when the executive chairman and president were in a state of turmoil, there was no way to launch any new products, so that the stock price plummeted from $38 a share to less than $7 a share, and this is only a change that occurred in one week.
Speaking of which, Zhang Kong will think of this matter, the main reason is because Rich Paul found a 'Vening Pharmaceutical' endorsement for him, Vining Pharmaceutical hopes that Zhang Kong will endorse their new product, that is, the fatal 'siromon', the price given is not high, Richie Paul refused after thinking about it, after all, the risk of athletes endorsing pharmaceutical products is still relatively large.
But this incident reminded Zhang Kong, since he has crossed over, such a good opportunity to make money is in front of him, if he doesn't take advantage of the opportunity of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States to make a profit, he is really sorry for himself, isn't it?
"I want you to short $100 million of Vining Pharmaceuticals by January 2nd, and in seven days, the stock price of Vining Pharmaceuticals will fall below $7."
"It can't be!" Eisen-House shook his head firmly: "This kind of thing can't happen, Mr. Zhang, although I haven't worked for a long time, but my concern about the financial market has not stopped for a day, according to my research on the financial market, this kind of thing is impossible." Mr. Zhang, with all due respect, if I really do what you say, you will end up losing tens of millions of dollars. ”
