Chapter 225 Late Night Secret Talk 2

Coincidentally, at this time, a buzzing roar came from a distance again, breaking this awkward moment at once, otherwise Ken Griffin really didn't know what to say. 1 Reading a book  ? ? 1?k anshu·

"Someone is here again!"

Griffin stood up and looked into the distance to hide his shock.

Within the next hour, four fund managers came one after another. Until Paulson was sure that no one else would come, the bonfire was already full of people.

Zhong Shi was very surprised because the people who came were all famous experts in the industry, including Lei Delio of Bridgewater United Fund, who he had known for a long time, William Ackerman, the fund manager of Pershing Square who was very popular recently, Jim Chanos, and David Einhorn, who was shocked by the market among the shorting brothers of Raymond.

In addition to Zhong Shi, there are seven hedge fund managers present, all of which are the top players in the industry. If the amount of funds is counted, the funds controlled by these people have reached an astonishing US$450 billion, which is equivalent to half of the 13th-ranked South Korea GDP in the world.

"What the hell are they going to do?"

While talking and laughing with them, Zhong Shi muttered in his heart.

According to the current situation, Paulson has definitely made a big plan, otherwise he would not have had to gather such a luxurious lineup. This is definitely the top combination in the hedge fund industry.

"Okay, everyone is here, let's start officially?"

Seeing that everyone was almost familiar with each other, Paulson clapped his palms and attracted everyone's gaze, he asked lightly, "As the convener of this event, I think everyone will hand over the communication tools before the official start."

No one raised objections, and everyone silently took out their phones and handed them to Lu Hu, the only industry insider present. He nodded slightly at Zhong Shi, and Lu Hu's hands were like butterflies. He quickly fiddled on the phone, and soon the phones turned into a bunch of loose parts.

After nodding with satisfaction, Paulson said to Zhong Shi: "Actually, this time, our main goal is to discuss the future trend of the world economy. I want to gather our wisdom and should be able to accurately guess the movements of those gunmen."

"A gunman?"

Ray Delio added a dead branch to the fire and asked in confusion, "John, what are you talking about?"

As the hedge fund manager whose funds are second only to Zhong Shi, Ray Delio far surpassed Paulson in both age and influence. But Paulson's performance last year was shocking, so he also acknowledged the fact that Paulson served as the convener of this meeting.

"This is a joke Mr. Zhong and I just made."

Paulson suffocated his nose, and then he remembered that others didn't understand this "allusion". He immediately explained with a smile, "When we were hunting on the grassland just now, we compared animals to hedge funds like ours, and institutions like the central bank and the Ministry of Finance to gun hunters. This is how things are... Reading a book??   ? ? 1?k?a n?s h?u?·"

Everyone then suddenly realized.

"etc!"

Before Paulson officially opened his mouth, Zhong Shi suddenly said, "Gentlemen, don't you feel strange? The people present are almost involved in various capital markets, but the only one of the most important markets is missing, namely the bond market. If we talk about the trends of gunmen, I think the first thing that will be affected is the fixed income market. Don't we plan to get involved in this area?"

"Oh, by the way, I forgot that there is another person!"

Paulson slapped his forehead and then suddenly realized, "By the way, Mr. Bill Gross agreed to join, but now there is something wrong with Pacific Investment Management, which seems to be an internal strife, so he has no way to leave now. But everything we say today will be announced to him. He will also help when it is right."

“What kind of help?”

Zhong Shi muttered secretly, without saying anything. He knew that the answer was about to be revealed, so he was not in a hurry to do so.

"This is how it is. At the beginning of the year, I saw an article published by Mr. Zhong. I had such a preliminary plan. After more than half a year of preparation and planning, I was able to gather everyone together today."

“My article?”

Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhong Shi pondered for a moment and thought that he had only published one article recently, strictly speaking, an interview, that is, the article published in the Greek Daily on an analysis of the Greek economy and even the world economy.

"Yes, that's the article!"

Ackerman slapped his hands and said excitedly, "I also got inspiration from that article. But before Paulson found me, I never thought that the whole thing could develop like this. Even now I think about it, I am still very excited."

"Your opinion is consistent with me!"

David Einhorn also nodded repeatedly, "But the whole thing is full of uncertainty. I thought about it for a long time before I decided to give it a try. Jim, what about your opinion?"

"I have no objection!"

Jim Chanos said expressionlessly, "Where there is shorting, there is me. The more chaotic the market, the more opportunities it will be, and this will be a good opportunity."

He has always been taciturn, but every time he says it is incisive. When everyone hears what he says, they feel a chill in their hearts, and there is a burst of chill.

Of course, besides the Zhongshi who doesn't know why.

"I analyzed the Greek economy article?"

While quietly observing the reactions of several people and recalling what he had said, Zhong Shi quickly realized what Paulson said and blurted out, "Don't you want to short Greece, do you?"

"No, what does this have to do with gold?"

The next moment, Zhong Shi flatly denied, "But so far, what are you doing? Don't expect me to believe that you are gathering together just to talk about the subsequent development of the global economy and the economic revitalization policies of central banks in various countries."

"Of course not!"

Everyone's faces changed. They looked at Paulson at the same time. They saw that his smile remained unchanged and said with interest, "It is indeed the person we all recognize. You can guess it from my words. Gentlemen, do you still have any questions now?"

When he heard Paulson's words, the other people except Zhong Shi had different reactions. Some nodded subconsciously, while others frowned. They did not say anything, while others shook their heads slightly, expressing their disagreement with Paulson's words.

"Are you testing me?"

Zhong Shi was so smart that he didn't understand. He immediately lowered his face and said unhappily, "Gentlemen, if you can't express your intentions happily, I will lose my companion."

After saying that, he grew up, looked at everyone coldly, raised his legs and prepared to walk out.

At this time, Lu Hu was silently turning the antelope on the fire. When he saw Zhong Shi's move to get up, he swung his hand and quietly touched his waist. If these people had any abnormal actions, he wouldn't mind shooting.

"That's right!"

Lei Delio, who was sitting next to Zhong Shi, quickly grabbed Zhong Shi, "Relax, Mr. Zhong, the whole thing is actually like this. After realizing your observation of Europe, we carefully considered it and decided to use your opinions as a strategic basis to enter the European market. Because it was referring to your opinions, we will still use your opinions as the main reference in our subsequent investment decisions."

"To put it simply, you will be the one who will give us investment advice, and we will invest in the European capital market together. Oh, no, it is the macro market."

John Paulson also stood up and persuaded anxiously, "That's the whole thing!"

"That's the whole thing?"

Zhong Shi stopped, looked at everyone with a suspicious expression, and asked in confusion. "I believe that everyone here is a master of macroscopy, so why should I refer to my opinion? Besides, even if I have the opinions I have, will you really obey?"

"We are a loose alliance, and all opinions are just references, and the specific operations are based on individual decisions."

Ray Delio explained again. "But according to my personal opinion, I still tend to believe your opinion. If you don't say anything else, who dares to say that your insight in the market and control over the overall situation can surpass Mr. Zhong?"

With Delio's support, the others naturally would not say anything more. Even Paulson could only shut up his mouth tactfully. Because one thing Delio said was the facts, the second is that the scale of fund management of Delio and Zhong Shi added up to more than half of the total amount of funds in this so-called "loose alliance". In this case, who would refute it ignorantly?

Zhong Shi sat down again, and Lu Hu quietly withdrew his hand that was touching his waist.

"If this is the case, there is no need for you to go there in person!"

Zhong Shi still didn't understand it very well, but at this time he had already had a way of thinking and continued to think along the Greek line. "Since you are eyeing Greece and there is also a clue of national debt, it seems that you are planning to short Greece in all."

No one spoke, and they were quietly waiting for everyone's following.

"According to your style, it is obviously impossible to stop to a certain extent, because this does not meet the goal of maximizing profits, and it is unlikely to affect the price of gold." Zhong Shi continued to ponder and murmured to himself.

Still no one spoke, only the wind from afar was clattering, as if responding to Zhong Shi's words.

"I see!"

Five minutes later, an incredible thought suddenly jumped into Zhong Shi's mind, so that his pupils suddenly contracted due to excessive horror, and every muscle on his face was beating rapidly.

Because he was too excited, his body even trembled slightly and his speech became unscrupulous. "I understand, because the right to issue money is gone, you are planning to bankrupt Greece! Oh my God, is this true?"

"etc……"

Without waiting for everyone to respond, Zhong Shi said, "It's not just Greece, but also other potential countries, including those unbalanced income and expenditure. Once panic arises, it will spread rapidly, and due to political reasons, these things will not be resolved in a short time. Panic spreads, risk aversion will take effect quickly, and at that time, both bonds and gold will benefit seriously. Is that true?"

"Oh, why didn't I think of this?"

This time it was Paulson's turn to wake up suddenly. He slapped his thigh and kept regretting, "Why didn't I expect that other countries also have room for operation? If this is true, then we will really be rich!"

Paulson's words undoubtedly confirmed Zhong Shi's conjecture. At this moment, he woke up like a dream.

"Are you crazy?"

Zhong Shi pointed at everyone with a slightly trembling finger and said, "God, do you know what you are doing? You are shorting Europe, strictly speaking, challenging the European Central Bank and governments. So that's it. No wonder you said you were going to deal with gunmen. It turned out that this was the idea!"

Challenging central banks in various countries has done it before. Soros has done it and Zhong Shi himself has done it. But since 000, except for the turbulent regimes in South America, there have been few such things in the world, because the Asian financial crisis has given central banks in various countries a painful course.

And now, Paulson gathers a group of people to challenge one of the world's largest economies: the euro zone.

Most importantly, they also plan to recommend themselves as the leader!

This world is crazy!

This is the only thought in Zhongshi's mind at this moment! (To be continued.)
