Chapter 83: Liang Dashao first came to the United States
In the end, under Bai Shuo's guarantee, Zhuang Lianhong did not embarrass Tong Lin anymore, but just asked all the casinos to blacklist Tong Lin. However, Zhuang Lianhong still gave Tong Lin 500,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a compensation for the ban on him from entering the casino and the pain he suffered before. Zhuang Lianhong was also inspired by Tong Lin's affairs, and immediately after Bai Shuo and the others left, they immediately began to reform the projects in the casino, introducing new technologies that should introduce new technologies, and improving the rules to avoid encountering outliers like Tong Lin again.
Before leaving, Bai Shuo remembered that he still owed Zhuang Lianhong to share a most valuable thing, and thought about the investment plan mentioned by Zhuang Lianhong and the upcoming global financial crisis, so he told Zhuang Lianhong not to make a big investment within a year, and to accumulate capital to deal with the upcoming crisis and opportunities. Zhuang Lianhong was deeply surprised by what Bai Shuo shared, there is a lot of cash flow in the casino, and the profit of the casino is not only based on winning money at the table, but also through the turnover of cash flow. Failure to make financial investments means that the casino will face significant losses. However, after learning that Bai Shuo would immediately leave for the United States to carry out this operation after returning to the mainland, Zhuang Lianhong finally chose to believe in Bai Shuo, a young man, and this choice also played a crucial role in his further career peak.
From Tai O through Gongbei to Zhuzhou even if she returned to the inland area, the happiest person is Chen Bing, because of her identity, in addition to eating, she has been locked in the room every day, and she has not gone anywhere, and the whole is about to be suffocated, and now she has returned to the inland and can finally stop avoiding it. However, with the smooth arrival in Zhuzhou, it also means that this group of people will disperse, Chen Bing, Nie Dong, Heizi, Duan Lei, Liu Dawei and others will return directly to the imperial capital, while Bai Shuo and others will return to Shudu, but Bai Shuo is also ready to go to the United States as soon as possible to help Liang Ying after a short stay in Shudu. On the occasion of parting, Chen Bing hoped that Bai Shuo could come back to watch her concert in Shudu before the Lunar New Year, and Bai Shuo promised that as long as things in the United States were stable, he could still fight to come back for a period of time before the New Year.
It is worth mentioning that Bai Shuo is very interested in Tong Lin, a "monster", according to the current situation, it is impossible for Tong Lin to continue to mix in Tai O, so Bai Shuo took Tong Lin and returned to Shudu first. Along the way, Bai Shuo and Tong Lin discussed financial investment and securities products. How do you know that Tong Lin said that those financial products, securities, insurance and other things are also calculated through precise mathematical logic, and like gambling, through strict calculation and use of probability to win big and lose small, through the infinite amplification of energy and energy, and finally obtain great benefits. Tong Lin's assertion made Bai Shuo's eyes light up, and he couldn't help but think of the problem that Zhong Pengcheng had mentioned before to calculate the crisis of subprime mortgage debt through mathematical quantitative research. So he immediately asked Tong Lin if he was interested in participating in the mathematical quantitative research of subprime mortgage bonds, but Tong Lin was about to prepare for a doctorate and could not follow Bai Shuo to the United States for the time being. Just when he was extremely disappointed, Bai Shuo suddenly thought that Tong Lin was studying in the magic capital, and invited him to join Zhong Pengcheng's team again, so that he could use the break time to participate in research and not delay his studies. This idea finally moved Tong Lin, and since then Zhong Pengcheng has added a supernumerary member to his team, and Tong Lin has also used his amazing mathematical talent to provide Bai Shuo and others with a lot of accurate analysis data in the years that followed, and gradually became an indispensable member of Bai Shuo's team.
said that Liang Ying came to the United States in September, although she did not experience the bloody wind like Bai Shuo, but the movements and hidden crises were not smaller than those on Bai Shuo's side. On the day Liang Ying set foot in the United States, a bank run broke out in the British Empire, and the governor of the Imperial Central Bank and the Chancellor of the Exchequer came out to apologize to the public and submit their resignations. Liu Shu took Liang Ying to a villa in the suburbs of New York, which is their base camp in the United States, in addition to meeting the needs of accommodation and rest, more space is used for office needs. Liang Ying, accompanied by Liu Shu, walked from the underground garage to the basement floor of the villa, which is 200 square meters and has all the office equipment, and about 30 staff members are busy here at this time.
"Here, Robt's team is responsible for the collection and analysis of relevant information. Liu Shu introduced Liang Ying in English. Not far away, a white man with glasses and a beard looked up and smiled at Liang Ying.
"This is William. Another middle-aged man with curly hair smiled at Liang Ying and said hello. "Their group is mainly responsible for financial markets and stock trading. ”
"This beauty is Lisa, she is mainly in charge of the administrative logistics of all of us, you can find her if you need anything". At this time, I saw a blonde Western beauty with a sexy figure walking over, and then whispered to Liang Ying: "Hello, I'm Lisa, just tell me if you need anything, I can meet you." Then he threw a teasing look. Liang Ying suddenly felt a shudder all over her body, smiled awkwardly, and sent Lisa away tactfully.
Liu Shu took Liang Ying through the negative floor, from the stairs up to the first floor of the villa, here is slightly smaller than the bottom, the whole area is divided into three pieces, the area from the door to the middle of the hall is the passage, connecting the corridor on the second floor, there are two rooms next to the corridor should be the nanny's room; the left area is simply separated into a conference room with soundproof glass; the right side is a leisure, reception area, and a bar counter, with a rich variety of drinks and snacks. Liu Shu and Liang Ying go directly to the second floor, where there are two terraces in front and back, and the house is divided into five separate offices.
"This is Wei Lun's office. Liu Shu continued: "This one is Hans's, and that one is mine. Liu Shu opened an office as he spoke, and walked in with Liang Ying. "Your office is thinking about this one, how about it, see if there is anything else you need? By the way, Zhao Yong, who came with you, I arranged a room for him to stay on the first floor. ”
It is a room of about 20 square meters, and in addition to a desk and filing cabinet, there is also a small reception area. Liang Ying nodded, indicating that she was quite satisfied. At this time, Liu Shu took Liang Ying to the third floor, which is a room to meet the needs of accommodation, only three rooms, and an activity area in the middle, with a terrace of about 50 square meters outside. "I live in this room temporarily, these two are rest rooms prepared for you and Mr. Bai, you can choose one first. Liang Ying casually opened a room, "I don't care, just this one." "The house is well lit, the furniture and daily necessities are complete, and there is a separate toilet and bathroom, and the decoration standard is not bad. "Well, yes, pretty good. ”
Hearing Liang Ying's praise, Liu Shu was also very happy, and helped Liang Ying pack her luggage and personal belongings, and the two came to the office downstairs. Liu Shu simply explained the situation of the entire work team and the important matters in the early stage to Liang Ying, and asked Lisa to notify the relevant key personnel to hold a meeting according to Liang Ying's request.
Soon, Wei Lun, Hans, Robert, William, plus Liu Shu and Liang Ying sat in the conference room on the ground floor, and these six people will be the core backbone team of the United States side of this operation. Among them, Wei Lun and Hans have also met in a video conference, Liang Ying knows that these people are the elite of the industry, and this time they can be pulled together by Liu Shu to form this team, on the one hand, they promised to give them rich returns, on the other hand, these people more or less have unique opinions that are different from the public in this round of crisis, because like-mindedness has prompted everyone to come together and work together. After a brief introduction, Liang Ying began to preside over the meeting.
"Since the ZF announced the bailout, only on August 11 and 12, central banks around the world have injected more than 326.2 billion yuan, and the Federal Reserve has also injected 38 billion yuan into banks three times a day to stabilize the stock market, but with little effect. In the past month or so, the United States, Europe, Japan, and the Asia-Pacific region have ...... It has repeatedly injected funds into the financial system with the intention of rescuing the stock market and the financial and insurance systems. I roughly estimated that the current global relief funds have exceeded 500 billion yuan. At the end of last month, the chairman of the United States Federal Reserve said that the United States Federal Reserve will work to avoid a credit crisis that will hurt the economy, and the president of the United States also promised that ZF will take a package to save the subprime mortgage crisis. Now we need to pay attention to how powerful this plan will be, and whether it will cause a rebound in the economy and the stock market if it is introduced......" spoke Robert, who briefly analyzed the recent situation and put forward some predictions for the future.
At this time, William also said: "The stock market in the United States is very unstable at present, but the crisis should be far from the bottom, the market sentiment is sluggish, every good news is only a short-term recovery, I think every rebound now will be a good opportunity for us to short......"
"As for the global stock market, with the ups and downs of the crisis in Europe and the United States, the stock market has also received great shocks, and it is very difficult to control. The stock markets in the Asia-Pacific region are all showing different characteristics except for the stock markets of the Japanese countries and Europe and the United States, which are relatively synchronized with those of Europe and the United States, and have not been too affected by the crisis in the United States on the whole. ”
"William, how many traders are there in your group now?" Liang Ying asked after William finished speaking.
"There are five people including me at the moment. ”
Liang Ying thought for a while and said: "It's enough for the past, but in the future, there will be more stock markets and futures transactions, and the amount of funds will gradually increase, and the manpower will have to be replenished, William, you and Liu Shu have no more reliable candidates."
"Okay, I'll have the staff in place in a month. William immediately assured Liang Ying.
"Very good, I came over this time and injected 300 million yuan into our account, which was mainly used to short the stock markets of various countries. Then Liang Ying turned to Liu Shu and asked, "What is the current situation of CDS after contacting major banks?"
Liu Shu said: "All the banks were holding on to the death, obviously the default rate has reached a very high point, and housing prices have begun to fall, but the price of CDO has not shown any downward trend." However, at present, the banks have finally been unable to resist, and many banks have begun to take the initiative to contact us, hoping to redeem those short products. But we have all responded to each other according to the standard of 15%-20% increase over the market value, and so far, only a very small number of banks have redeemed a part, about 20 million (rice dollars). ”
"Hmph, do they still have illusions about the state of the crisis?" said Liang Ying.
"No, I don't think they have any illusions, and they understand the catastrophic nature of this crisis even better than we do. The reason for this is that they want to recoup these short products on the basis of not paying too much or even no cost. Then Hans spoke. Hans is a young talent in the financial industry of the United States, who has been in the industry for less than 10 years, but has unique insights, and this time Liu Shu proposed to short the CDO in the United States, which coincided with Hans, and Hans was also the first member to join the team.
"Don't pay the cost?" Liang Ying was a little puzzled.
Seeing this, Liu Shu explained: "They want to repay their debts and play hooligans. ”
Liang Ying smiled: "If they go bankrupt, they can naturally rely on these accounts, but for now, they believe that they can still survive." These routines are just trying to force us to sell our CDS at a low price. ”
"It's like fishing now, the fish want to eat more bait, but as long as we are patient and take advantage of the opportunity, the fish will not escape the doom of the bait. Hans continued.
Liang Ying deeply agreed: "Okay, be steady, it's only September now, if they feel that they can still survive, then after this quarter's quarterly report comes out, see if they panic." ”
At this time, Wei Lun spoke, Wei Lun is a senior investment manager recruited by Liu Shu with a high salary, and he has a great record and a prominent reputation in the financial market. "According to my analysis, after the quarterly report is released, the performance of major companies should show a continuous downward trend, and the real cliff-like decline should be around the first quarter of next year, but the fourth quarter of this year will be a critical period, many banks in order to reduce losses, will definitely take action, this is a good opportunity for us to negotiate the game. ”
......
After some discussion, Liang Ying had a new understanding of the combat effectiveness of this team, and the quality and overall combat effectiveness of the team members far exceeded Liang Ying's expectations. However, he is more concerned about the loyalty of team members, in the current team, most people may only gather together for interests or with certain personal goals, but if you can select and cultivate a few highly loyal talents who can become descendants of the team, and provide talent guarantee for the rapid development of the future, it will be earned.
