Abel in David Mellon's resentful eyes.

When talking to another David on the phone.

New York City, 120 Broadway, Manhattan, World Financial Center.

The world's financial center is a landmark of the United States, even if it is placed in the United States as a whole.

It was designed by the famous architect Cesar Perry, and it is a complex of four skyscrapers.

Well, next to it is the Twin Towers, which Abel is very taboo.

Merrill Lynch occupies the entire 34th floor of the fourth of four towers.

Merrill Lynch,

Chief Financial Officer Charlie Schaff is discussing the Corporate Debt Division with President Stanley O'Neill.

Stanley O'Neill is African-American, which is very rare on Wall Street.

Some claim that Stanley O'Neill is a new chapter on Wall Street.

It is a new wind in the financial world.

These accolades, coupled with Stanley O'Neill's own abilities.

He was in a high position more than ten years after entering Merrill Lynch.

Today, Stanley O'Neill is one of the presidents of Merrill Lynch.

But his power in the company is even above the CEO.

Because it has won the trust of shareholders and has the best ability to schem.

Coupled with the call among blacks, Stanley O'Neill is already rumored to be the CEO of Merrill Lynch.

This makes his prestige and strength in the company stronger and stronger, and the entire Merrill Lynch Securities is about to become his word.

Charlie Scharf, the Russian-born CFO, happens to be Stanley O'Neill's man.

So Charlie Scharf's words at Merrill Lynch are sometimes more powerful than the current CEO.

"Charlie, I know you're bullish on that young man." Stanley O'Neill said:

"But I think it's still too risky."

In a small conference room, Charlie Schaff looked at Stanley O'Neal.

He knew what O'Neill was referring to.

"Stanley. We weren't the only ones who made this decision.

Including Goldman Sachs and Lehman, they all made the same decision. Charlie Scharf said.

"But we have the most quota. That's half a billion dollars. Stanley O'Neill.

"The more principal, the more profit."

"But the risks are just as great."

"Okay." Charlie Scharf simply had a showdown, "Head, the contracts have been signed, and the funds have been spent."

What's the use of you telling me that now? ”

"I just want you to be a little more cautious." Stanley O'Neill shook his head.

In fact, this time, Merrill Lynch won a $500 million private placement share of Smith Capital.

On Merrill Lynch's side, there are many executives who oppose it.

They feel the stakes are too high.

But Charlie Scharf insisted on it, while Stanley O'Neal stood up for his own people.

So in the end, Merrill Lynch Securities still took a share of $500 million from Smith Capital.

It's just that afterwards, Stanley O'Neill muttered many times.

Charlie Schaff was a little annoyed when he heard this, but he couldn't help it.

Who called Stanley O'Neill the head, and the one who supported him the most?

With that in mind, Charlie Schaff suggested, "Maybe we can see, where is that Wall Street wolf putting his money in?" ”

Stanley O'Neill hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded.

Merrill Lynch is one of Smith Capital's LPs and is qualified to regulate the flow of funds related to Smith Capital.

At the same time, Merrill Lynch, as one of the largest financial companies, is also one of the middlemen and market makers of Smith Capital.

Such a giant has the ability to monitor the flow of some of the funds on Smith Capital's side.

What?

Do you say it's immoral?

Violation of relevant financial regulations.

Scold!

Wall Street does it!

As long as the customer doesn't know, or is not caught by the customer and the relevant departments.

That's fine.

The two left the bond department and went to the client department, where they could monitor the flow of funds.

After the CFO and the most powerful CEO reveal their identities.

The relevant staff will naturally cooperate infinitely.

So soon, Charlie Scharaff and Stanley O'Neal went through the secret channels on Lin Securities' side.

Learn about the current Smith Capital, the flow of some funds.

Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Scharf are both old financiers.

Those ordinary people will have a headache when they see it, and they can't understand the flow of information when they see it.

It is easy for them to discern a portion of Smith Capital's capital flow through the judgment of this information.

"International Crude Oil and London Gold?" Charlie Schaff was surprised and said, "It seems that our Wall Street wolf wants to find food in these two areas." ”

In contrast to Charlie Scharf's focus, Stanley O'Neill's focus is on the amount of money.

"Twenty times leverage, $300 million in funds. That's 6 billion operations. It's all in London gold, and the risk is too high, right? Stanley O'Neill said.

"It's just six billion dollars." Charlie Schaff said, "It should be fine." ”

"Charlie." Stanley O'Neill's voice became serious, "You know, we're just one of Smith Capital's middlemen.

I've heard that they work with all the big banks.

Then, with $300 million on our side, other banks or financial groups should also have corresponding funds. ”

"If it's all this amount, if it's all this leverage. That's what you do. ”

Do you still think "it should be fine"? ”

When Charlie Scharf heard the black president say this, he immediately thought of the direction that Stanley O'Neal had in mind.

This made Charlie Scharf's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but say, "It shouldn't be so crazy, right?"

If it were all like this, the number would probably be. Tens of billions of dollars? ”

"Tens of billions of dollars in the London gold market. It's crazy too. Stanley O'Neill said.

"Charlie, you're really in big trouble for me!"

Hearing the president say this, Charlie Scharf's face turned a little pale.

And on the other side, the Woolworths Building is here.

Smith Capital, which Stanley O'Neal has referred to as "big trouble".

After three hours of thrilling operation, it began to come to an end.

Just now, the United States released its non-farm payrolls data for August this year.

An increase of 400,000 people, 850,000 is expected, and the front is 1 million, and the actual announcement is far from the front and expected, the smallest increase since January, while the unemployment rate is 8.2%, a sharp increase.

As soon as this news came out, David Mellon, who was beside Abel, turned into excitement.

After reading the whole relevant information, David felt that he was about to write the good gold on it.

Sure enough, then London gold rose sharply, turning from volatility to rising, up 7 points, or 0.512%.

The sideways period lasted short, and then another news was announced.

"Deterioration of the situation in the desert area"

"European banks release a moderate attitude"

"Inflation rate increased by 3.2% from the previous quarter"

"Neon Central Bank Announces Interest Rate Cut"

Fed Escalation

《. 》

Each report is full of wealth codes that are good for gold.

At this time, David Mellon, who was beside Abel, was already jumping and screaming wildly.

“FZZK！ Abel, Abel! You are my God, you are the God of finance! ”

"Oh my God! The non-farm payrolls data is also forgotten. The Fed's attitude is barely predictable. ”

"What did you guess about the situation on the other side of the desert, the attitude of the European banks, and the neon central bank?"

“ My god！ In finance, you are the prophet, you are God, you are God!! ”

“.”

David Mellon was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

People who don't know, when they see it, they think he's hi grass.

What can be compared to his excitement is the five traders in the safe house.

The five of them were also red with excitement at this time.

It's like drinking fake wine, or getting hazy.

But traders, you can't shout and vent your excitement like David.

They will continue to keep an eye on the market and continue to fulfill one of Abel's orders.

And in the case of all kinds of positive news, the price of London gold Bengbu lived.

Then it was like a wild horse sprinting upwards frantically, and countless bears had no time to react, and they instantly liquidated and closed their positions.

The large-scale forced liquidation led to the continued rise in gold prices.

London gold is now trading at 365.770.

It jumped 53.07.

An increase of 19.925%.

Close to twenty percent, a very exaggerated number.

Abel did not hesitate, and at the moment it rose, he quickly gave the order: "Clear the position, how much can be cleared above 360 points." ”

The traders received the order and proceeded in an orderly manner, and large sell orders were constantly thrown out.

Floating profits become real profits.

The market is very enthusiastic, and gold has fallen by a total of 100 points so far this year.

Crude oil is high again, and there is constant strife in the desert area.

The long-pent-up sentiment in the global investment market has completely exploded at this moment.

On this premise.

After more than 50 billion yuan was cleared, the price of gold fell by less than two points, and it was quickly repaired within dozens of seconds.

Smith Capital left the market in three hours, making a profit of $2.564 billion from London Gold.

On the safe house side of Smith Capital, David Mellon was naturally yelling and venting his excitement with the traders who had done their work.

And at the Four International Financial Center in Manhattan, Merrill Lynch on the 34th floor.

Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Scharf,

It also witnessed the outflow of 300 million funds from Smith Capital.

And then it turned into a scene where almost $590 million came back.

This scene made even the well-informed Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Scharf.

I was also a little dumbfounded.

"What happened?" Black President Stanley O'Neal was stunned.

Charlie Scharf was quicker and immediately asked the operator to bring up the relevant information.

After a few minutes of inquiry, Charlie Scharf made a relatively correct judgment.

"The outflow of Smith Capital is long London gold futures."

"And in just one hour, the London gold market reached a 70+ skyrocket."

"Then Smith Capital quickly returned, thinking that it should be out of the market arbitrage."

"Mr. O'Neill, it's clear that this time, the Wolves of Wall Street have made a lot of money on London gold."

What Charlie Scharf can understand, Stanley O'Neill can understand.

It's just that Stanley O'Neal is better at scheming and is slower to react to this.

"It seems."

"That's true." Stanley O'Neill whispered.

Charlie Scharf was in high spirits: "Smith Capital's funds on our side have nearly doubled the profit. ”

"Then his funds in other banks or financial groups should have similar profits."

"In other words, this guy has made a profit of at least more than a billion dollars in just a few hours!"

Stanley O'Neill frowned and had to admit, "It's possible." ”

Looking at Charlie Scharf's exuberant appearance, Stanley O'Neill added: "It seems that Charlie, you are not mistaken in person. ”

Stanley O'Neill excitedly: "It's all because of your trust and support. ”

Seeing that he was still so acquainted, Stanley O'Neal nodded with satisfaction.

"Well, it's time to get off work." Stanley O'Neill said, "Let's go first, what's the matter, Charlie, you contact me again." ”

"Understood."

In fact, what happened here here at Merrill Lynch today.

There are a number of giants that have cooperated with Abel and subscribed for shares in his private equity funds.

Both did similar things to Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Scharf.

That is to monitor the flow of funds related to Smith Capital.

Through this monitoring, we can speculate on the direction and data of Smith Capital's investment.

Smith Capital, which does not have its own bank and has to act as a middleman and market maker through other large banks.

This kind of surveillance of them is unavoidable.

Fortunately, Smith Capital tried to spread the funds as much as possible, and did not put them all in one or two banks.

So what they can monitor is only a part of Smith Capital's funds.

Eyes back to the Woolworth Building,

After David Mellon and others were ecstatic, they began to return the funds one after another according to Abel's instructions.

Soon, the $3.5 billion on the international crude oil side was removed.

Smith Capital's capital account now has a whopping 25+25+$1 billion or so.

Of that amount, $1.5 billion is Fund 1 money.

It's escrow money.

The other $2 billion is Smith Capital's own funds.

The remaining little more than 2.5 billion is the profit of the three hours just now.

The $2.5 billion profit will be based on a 15:10 ratio, with one part being Fund One's profit and the other part being Smith Capital's own net profit.

"Whew~"

Looking at the excited David and the traders, Abel commanded: "According to the old rules, the matter here will be handed over to you, David." ”

"Understood." His neck and face were bloodshot, and David, who looked like a red neck, immediately shouted.

Abel nodded, turned around and left without hesitation.

Compared with the excitement of the people behind him, he has become more and more regarded this kind of thing as a simple number game.

It's just that this kind of numbers game can bring him a lot of green paper.

These green papers can bring him high quality of life, high influence, and high charisma.

There is no doubt that compared to the simple appearance and figure.

The charm brought by green paper will be even more powerful.

If you add the two, it's in the country of the United States.

There are basically not many women who can resist the invasion of this kind of added charm.

For example

Newly founded, Michael Levine, the general manager of the new lingerie company named "Elizabeth's Back Garden".

He brought two young supermodels, Gisele Bonchen and Carmen Keys.

Obviously, it is difficult to resist the combined power of this mixture.
