Chapter 353: Sensational Global + Godfather of Finance (2-in-1, Ask for Subscription, Ask for Monthly Pass)
The sky was already dark.
The Hudson River evening breeze brought a chill to the already not-so-hot Manhattan.
Although it is almost August, the temperature in New York is still around 25 degrees during the day and only a dozen degrees at night, which is not proportional to the prosperity.
Manhattan, Upper East Side.
On Seventy-First Street, in the affluent neighborhood not far from the boulevard, the second floor of a seven-story mansion is filled with the sound of ping-pong balls and racket beating.
"Hahaha, Ji, your table tennis skills are not very good."
Peter. Peterson wore short sleeves, his hair was tied up in a headband, and he was smug with a racket in his hand.
Ji Sheng didn't expect Peter. Peterson's table tennis skills are quite high, he used to practice in school for a while, and he is not an opponent," he said. ”
As he spoke, he held the table tennis ball to serve.
Peter. Peterson was still talking trash talk, "Ji, if the Chinese table tennis skills are as unbearable as yours, I will participate in the Barcelona Olympics in '92, and the beautiful country can win the championship, I'm an all-round warrior, how about it?" Do you want to be as all-powerful as I am? What would happen if you became omnipotent? ”
Ji Sheng said faintly: "I will probably commit suicide." ”
Peter. Peterson was speechless: "I'm talking about the almighty. ”
Ji Sheng said: "I know that you are 'omnipotent', you don't have to deliberately remind me again and again." ”
Well, the English words "all-powerful" and "impotence" are pronounced similarly.
Peter. Peterson was about to vomit blood, and the ball couldn't be received, so he quickly changed the topic while picking up the ball: "How are you going to help me get Lawrence. Fink kicked out of the company? ”
Ji Sheng shrugged and said, "How else can you rush?" To be simple and rude, I will directly buy more shares of Blackstone Financial Management Company, and then add your equity to take the company's right to speak, and then he will have no say in the company, so he will naturally retreat, are you still waiting for us to join forces to sweep him away? ”
Peter who just picked up the ball. Peterson looked at him in surprise and said, "Blackstone Financial Management is not very low at a valuation now, can you come up with so much money at once?" ”
Ji Sheng asked casually: "What is the approximate valuation?" ”
"Everything else is secondary, and the main Blackstone Financial Management now owns three percent of Exxon's shares, which is worth more than a billion here. Fink Partnership, it is precisely because of its willingness to bring these three percent of the shares into the shares. "Peter. Peterson paused, with a hint of regret in his eyes, and finally quoted: "In addition, the current assets under management of Blackstone Financial Management Company are about more than four billion dollars, if you want to get enough right to speak, not to say more, forty percent of the shares are wanted, which means that you have to come up with almost one billion dollars." ”
"Billion? It's a little interesting. Ji Sheng said very calmly.
Peter. Peterson's eyes widened, and he thought Ji Sheng had heard it wrong, and repeated: "Man, this is a billion dollars!" ”
Ji Sheng laughed and said, "I know it's a billion dollars, you don't have to repeat it to me again and again." ”
Peter. Peterson's eyes darkened and said: "But as far as I know, your total assets are only about two billion dollars, and a lot of money has been invested in Joaquin Capital, and taking out one billion dollars at once will make it difficult for you to have financial difficulties?" ”
Ji Sheng smiled and said, "Your information is all old yellow calendars. ”
Peter. Peterson was stunned, "What do you mean by that?" ”
"It's not interesting." Ji Sheng casually revealed a little bit of information, "Don't say much now, I can still get 18 billion yuan." ”
Peter. Peterson is stupid!
Nima?
Can you get 18 billion?
Peter. Peterson was incredulous: "How can your wealth grow so quickly?" ”
Ji Sheng blinked, "Haven't you paid attention to soybean futures these days?" ”
"Soybean futures? Follow ...... "Peter. Halfway through his words, Peterson suddenly came to his senses and said dumbfounded: "Did you create such a big movement in the futures market?" Season. ”
Ji Sheng smiled and nodded.
Peter. Peterson was confused, "This ...... This ......"
Ji Sheng smiled and said, "Can we talk about other conditions?" ”
"You...... How much money did you make on soybean futures this time? "Peter. Peterson wondered.
Ji Sheng smacked his lips and said, "It's probably more than 10 billion dollars." ”
Peter. Peterson: "......"
More than 10 billion?
His whole body was shocked on the outside and tender on the inside, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Ji Sheng saw that he didn't have the heart to play, so he threw the racket on the table casually, "Peter, do you want to talk about the conditions?" ”
"Huh? Oh, talk, talk. "Peter. Peterson looked at Ji Sheng with a fairy-like expression, stretched out his thumb and said with admiration: "Ji, you are too powerful!" ”
Ji Sheng smiled, "It's okay, then I'll say the conditions, you can see that my request is not too much." ”
"Well, you name it."
Peter. Peterson also threw his racket on the table and pricked up his ears to listen.
Ji Sheng casually picked up the mineral water spring next to him and threw it over, and said in his mouth: "I want Blackstone's financial management to be independent, and I will have the final say in the future." ”
Peter. Peterson's face changed drastically, and he thought that Ji Sheng and Lawrence. Fink is vying for power, "Ji, it's a bit too much. ”
"Listen to me first."
Ji Sheng also picked up the mineral water and unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip, then looked at it seriously and said: "Huajin Capital was closed for a few days by the government of the beautiful country for a few days a while ago on the grounds that the business is vague, you should have heard of it, right?" ”
Peter. Peterson bowed.
"Since that incident, I have spun off many of the company's businesses to set up subsidiaries, and the financial management area also happened to set up subsidiaries." Ji Sheng said clearly without hurrying, "However, Huajin Capital has just developed for a long time, and there is still a slight lack of experience in this area, and Blackstone Financial Management Company is now a mature subsidiary, I mean, I will pay the money, you will give the shares, we will be a partnership, as long as you believe in my investment ability, then the Blackstone Financial Management Company will be decided by me, and everyone will earn the money together, what do you think?" ”
In this way, Peter. Peterson could also acquire some of the shares of Huajin Asset Management, a subsidiary of Huajin Capital.
In fact, this kind of operation is very common among beautiful national enterprises, and the cross-shareholding power is stronger, and it is easier to expand the development territory.
Ji Sheng played this idea, using his subsidiaries and other people's subsidiaries to cross-hold shares in exchange for more support for himself.
And there is a huge advantage to doing this, the valuation of the subsidiary will be very high, and if it goes public in the future, it can get more financing.
Of course, Ji Sheng, the equity of Huajin Capital Corporation, will not be shared with others, this is his core.
Peter. Peterson frowned, "What's in it for me to do this?" ”
Ji Sheng screwed the cap on the bottle, "Wait until Lawrence. After Fink was kicked out, I can give you back the equity of Blackstone, and I said, I only want the decision-making power of Blackstone Financial Management. ”
Peter. Peterson was silent.
Accompanied by Lawrence. Fink has become more and more influential within the group. Peterson was often unable to speak not only at Blackstone's financial management subsidiary, but also at Blackstone's ability to do whatever he wanted.
If Ji Sheng can really help him regain the right to speak in the Blackstone Group, then it seems that there is nothing wrong with giving a decision-making power in Blackstone Financial Management, after all, the right to speak in Blackstone Financial Management Company is not in him now.
"If you want to help me regain the right to speak in the Blackstone Group, it will cost more than a billion." Peter. Peterson figured it out.
Ji Sheng chuckled, "Peter, don't blame me for saying something ugly, it's no problem to buy Blackstone Group with my current financial resources, not to mention just helping you regain the right to speak, the question you have to think about now is where to get the money to buy back the shares in my hand after taking back the company." ”
"You don't have to worry about this, as long as you give me enough time, you can still get the money, for example, I mortgage my equity with the bank." Peter. Peterson sighed: "It's just that I can't do this until the equity is back in my hands, otherwise the whole company may be lost, so I want you to do me a favor." ”
Of course, Ji Sheng understood what it meant, and he said with a smile: "That is the case, then the cooperation is pleasant?" ”
Peter. Peterson walked up to him and stretched out his palm to make a high-five, "Okay, happy cooperation." ”
The two clapped their hands lightly, and they reached a verbal agreement.
There's no way to sign a contract for this kind of thing, Peter. Peterson can only bet that asking Ji Sheng for help is not to lure the wolf into the house, otherwise he will end up miserable and may be swept away.
Of course, Ji Sheng will not do treacherous things, otherwise if it spreads, who will dare to cooperate with him in the future?
His target is only Blackstone Financial Management Company, after all, this is the later famous BlackRock, after all, this company currently holds three percent of Exxon's shares, if he can use means to control these three percent of the shares in his own hands, then it is not impossible for him to become Exxon in the future.
You know, Exxon now has tens of billions of dollars in assets.
If he can make good use of these three percent of the shares, Ji Sheng may be able to gain the right to speak in the company, and then it will be equivalent to controlling tens of billions of assets of a large enterprise with less than a billion US dollars.
Of course, the premise is that he can get the support of Exxon's shareholders.
I'll think about that later.
What Ji Sheng wants is to get a ticket to have the opportunity to control Exxon first, and this three percent of the shares is that precious ticket.
and Peter. After Peterson reached a verbal agreement, the two sides did not talk about business again.
The two went down to chat for a while, and finally parted.
Ji Sheng looked at Peter. Peterson's car slowly left, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it's good to be rich, as long as he and Peter. Peterson is a heart, and BlackRock, one of the world's three largest asset management companies, may fall into his own hands in the future.
……
Just when Ji Sheng sighed, the sudden change in the soybean futures market was also fermented to the extreme, and it was finally exposed.
Or it is under Ji Sheng's authorization that a "careless" insider of Standard Chartered Bank leaked his mouth when facing the media, after all, the fame of Huajin Capital is not too loud now, and Ji Sheng must improve his reputation and attract more customers.
At the beginning, Hong Kong's TV station reported that Standard Chartered Bank was entrusted to operate soybean futures and made more than $10 billion for the client.
This news scared a lot of people stupidly!
"Standard Chartered has made more than $10 billion for people!?"
"Really, it's fake, you made so much money from soybean futures?"
"It can't be fake news, right? Isn't the price change of soybean futures capricious these days, and Standard Chartered Bank can make more than 10 billion dollars on it? ”
At first, there were many voices of doubt, but as the news deepened and revealed how Standard Chartered Bank operated, everyone suddenly realized that this matter was true, and Standard Chartered Bank really made more than 10 billion US dollars for others!
At this moment, many people screamed one after another!
"it! It turns out that all the money we lost in soybean futures was made by Standard Chartered Bank? ”
"Awesome, I actually made more than 10 billion US dollars, how much does this cost?"
"You're not stupid, are you? It's said that it's more than 10 billion dollars, and how much is it? But then again, this wave of operations of Standard Chartered Bank is really powerful, it actually secretly opened hundreds of accounts on eleven futures exchanges around the world, and it is also like having an unpredictable prophet, each account has no more than two million bushels, and in the end, whether it is a large short or a long account is forced to reduce positions, only Standard Chartered Bank is fine, this wave of operations is really exciting! ”
"I didn't expect Standard Chartered Bank to have such a powerful strength?"
But at this time, a deeper revelation came, and someone told the media that in fact, this wave of operations was not conceived by Standard Chartered Bank, but strongly requested by the behind-the-scenes client who entrusted Standard Chartered Bank.
The person who entrusted Standard Chartered Bank?
Doesn't this mean that this client has single-handedly exploded the global soybean futures market?
When interviewed by a financial person, he swore that "no way! It is absolutely impossible for such an awesome operation to be figured out by one person, and I think there must be a strong team behind them. ”
Another long-term practitioner in the securities market also publicly said: "Such a delicate plan, certainly not a person can be designed, this sentence may not be believed by many people, some people will say, this plan sounds very simple, but in fact is it really that simple?" I'll tell you, it's not like that at all, and I'll explain to you why......"
Then this person who has been in the securities industry for many years analyzed the plan, such as what is the layout of the world's eleven futures exchanges, you must know that the opening and closing times of each futures exchange are different, so the price change is very difficult to control, and it takes a lot of data to analyze the price of a futures exchange when it is suspended, and how the price of other exchanges that are still trading will change.
It's hard to control, and that's one thing.
Second, the time when this person entrusted Standard Chartered Bank to short soybean futures was just before the price crash, and before that, someone in many countries around the world broke the news that there was a suspicion of forced positions on the Chicago Board of Trade? And in the end, it was confirmed that someone did force the position.
How could something so secret be discovered overnight?
It's clear that you've been staring at Chicago Board of Trade soybean futures for a long time.
Third, the issue of the position of each account is precisely controlled within the limited range of the final penalty of each futures exchange? It's not something that dozens of people think about day and night, and no one believes it.
The most important thing is to go long immediately after shorting, which means that this team has reached a point where it is well aware of the price changes of soybean futures and can deduce changes in the market, which many large securities institutions cannot do, let alone if it is just one person.
So, various inferences prove that this solution was made by a team, and everyone in this team is a top player.
Many onlookers didn't think this plan was too complicated at first, but after this "expert" carefully dissected the plan, they were shocked to find that this plan was so incredible!
.“ Ouch! ”
"So there's so much knowledge in it?"
"Awesome! This plan is really awesome! Although I was also blown up in the bulls, I was very unhappy, but I have to admit that the team that designed this plan is really good! ”
More and more people are paying attention.
Finally, someone broke the news and said: "In fact, this plan was designed by one person, a certain Chinese financial tycoon on Wall Street." ”
Many people didn't believe this at first, after all, there are very few Chinese people on Wall Street today, for example, Jack Zhao is the first Chinese American to make a name for himself on Wall Street, and now he is still at the level of a bigwig in the financial industry, and most people really can't imagine who it is.
But it didn't take long for someone to suddenly think of someone, that's right, it was Ji Sheng, the boss of Huajin Capital, known as the Oriental Silver Lion and the financial giant, who has recently been calling for wind and rain in the financial industry!
"Could it be that Ji Sheng harvested the market?"
"Ji Sheng? Oriental Silver Lion? ”
"Eh, it's really a bit of a possibility for you to say that, after all, he has been very fierce in the previous waves."
"That's right, he manipulated the foreign exchange market to make a lot of money in the foreign exchange market before, and it is not impossible to entrust Standard Chartered Bank to harvest soybean futures this time, is it really him?"
"If it weren't for him, I really wouldn't have imagined that Wall Street would have that Chinese boss so awesome."
"Could it be Ji Sheng who really stepped on the horse? I lost 20,000 yuan in soybean futures, this Ji Sheng, who killed a thousand knives! ”
"Hahaha, I made more than 100,000 yuan in the short position and slipped away."
Under the deliberate guidance of well-intentioned people, many people have set their eyes on Ji Sheng, because there is only one person who is currently eligible for those revelations, and that is Ji Sheng, the boss of Huajin Capital.
No one has confirmed this kind of thing, and everyone can only speculate privately.
"Could it really be Ji Sheng?"
"yes, it seems like he's the only one who qualifies, right? A native of China, a Wall Street financial tycoon. ”
"And I heard the grapevine that after the major futures exchanges withdraw, the funds of Standard Chartered Bank are remitted to the beautiful country."
"I'll go! According to this, is it really Ji Sheng? ”
"I used to like him a lot, but this time Nima caused me to lose money!"
"Don't guess, maybe it's not him."
However, the next news shocked everyone!
A senior executive of Standard Chartered Bank took the initiative to confirm: "The person who entrusted us is Mr. Ji Sheng, the boss of Huajin Capital!" ”
Subsequently, Standard Chartered Bank also announced the whole process of shorting and longing soybean futures, and finally confirmed that this plan did not have any team, it was all ordered by Ji Sheng, and then Standard Chartered Bank operated it.
One person designs a plan that is comparable to dozens of top teams!
As a result, it has also raked in more than 10 billion US dollars in soybean futures!
Everyone was shocked!
"Oh my God!"
"Oh my God!"
"It's him!"
"Stepping on the horse is really Ji Sheng, and I have suffered a lot of losses in soybean futures!"
"I'll give you a lung! Ji Sheng, do you want to be so insidious and blow up soybean futures alone? ”
"How is that possible! How can it be! How could he stand up to global soybean futures buyers on his own! ”
"Ji Sheng, I'm Faked you! Do you know that you are very handsome to blow up the global soybean futures buyers alone, but we who were long before were also harvested by you, I hate you! ”
"Standard Chartered, right?"
"No, it's in the news!"
Sure enough, newspapers related to finance and securities in various countries around the world are reporting on this incident, which is full of photos of Ji Sheng scolding Fang Xuan in a silver suit!
"The Giant Crocodile Strikes: Ji Sheng Single-handedly Blows Up Soybean Futures!" 》
The Evil Silver Lion from the East! Harvest Global Soybean Futures! 》
"Bloody Capital Harvests the Futures Market: Who Will Stop Ji Sheng, the Devil, from Opening His Bloody Mouth?" 》
Financial Giants? No! Ji Sheng is Satan from hell! 》
As soon as this news was exposed, many people around the world were scolding Ji Sheng, well, they all lost a lot of money, it's strange not to scold at this time, don't say all kinds of ugly words.
Ji Sheng never expected that he would become famous all over the world overnight, but this fame was not positive, but notorious!
All sorts of lashes from the newspapers!
Financial and securities practitioners are insulting!
And various futures buyers are also eager to eat their meat raw!
But even if the outside world scolds him so badly, everyone has to admit that Ji Sheng is too powerful!
One person has exploded the operators of the global soybean futures market, including many large financial institutions, isn't it powerful?
Some people even scolded while thinking that once Ji Sheng had any trouble in the future, he must follow behind to invest together, after all, no one is too much money.
As a result, while Ji Sheng's black fans skyrocketed, countless people regarded him as a money-making vane!
It is also at this moment that Ji Sheng's prestige in the global financial industry has also climbed to a peak!
The limelight is no different for a while, and it is no worse than the sensation caused by Soros's successful sniping of the Thai baht!
Even many people who don't pay attention to futures know from others that there is such a ruthless person in Huaxia, a god who dares to challenge the global futures market with his own strength!
There are also people who scold and scold on the surface, but secretly they are discussing with others whether they want to be customers of Huajin Capital.
"Ji Sheng is so powerful, it's very profitable to be his customer, right?"
"Isn't this nonsense, he made more than 10 billion dollars in soybean futures alone, if anyone is his customer, not to mention making him so much money, at least he can drink fat and hot after him!"
"Or ...... Let's go to Huajin Capital tomorrow to have a look? ”
"I have decided, I will find Huajin Capital to buy securities and futures in the future."
"That's right, looking for Joaquin Capital, Ji Sheng is too fierce!"
For a while, Ji Sheng was full of black fans at the same time, relying on the news that he had harvested global soybean futures with exposure, his popularity and prestige in the financial world soared to a moment of uniqueness, and many people scolded him, but they had to sigh in their hearts that Ji Sheng is now a godfather-level financial boss!
