The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 340 Researching Indonesia

"Zhong Sheng, don't we still close our positions? Now South Korea has officially reached an aid agreement with the IMF. According to our previous practice, as long as it is a country that has reached an agreement with the IMF, it will choose to close its positions at the first time. Shouldn't South Korea also Did it work out?"

  In Zhong Shi's spacious and bright office, Ren Ruowei was talking to Zhong Shi with red ears and red ears.

As for the reason for Ren Ruowei's gaffe, that is of course. Just today, the Korean won has risen from the 1200 range to the 1190 range. Due to the agreement with the IMF, the market is generally optimistic about the future market of the Korean won, which also makes Ren Ruowei close the position. The pressure doubled.

Speaking of which, this part of the short-selling Korean won funds were borrowed at the level of 970 won to 1 US dollar, and the price of opening positions was mostly around 990. 2.06%, about 132 million US dollars. Although as of today's close, this part of the position has made a net profit of 20.8%, which is 1.352 billion US dollars. But just before that day, that figure was $1.7 billion.

  In just one day, because of one piece of news, the overall profit evaporated as much as 350 million US dollars. No matter how big Ren Ruowei's heart was, he couldn't bear such a blow.

  In the past two days, Ren Ruowei felt that his heart was about to explode. He kept beating violently all day long, and he also experienced dizziness and cold limbs from time to time. You must know that Ren Ruowei is now in his prime, and these problems should not appear on him. For this reason, he even secretly hid the quick-acting heart-rescuing pill in his bosom.

  Seeing that South Korea and the IMF have reached a rescue agreement, Zhong Shi still has no intention of closing his position, and Ren Ruowei can't sit still. In the process of watching the market on this day, when the Korean won was raised from 1200 to 1199, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he almost fainted on the spot. After finally regaining his strength, he couldn't bear it anymore, and roared into Zhong Shi's office, questioning why he didn't close the position as if he had lost his composure.

Regarding Ren Ruowei's doubts, Zhong Shi just nodded slightly, tapped the table a few times, and then said leisurely: "Ren Sheng, you have to pay attention to your attitude. Now you are questioning my judgment, don't tell me Will you take my seat?"

  Although Zhong Shi spoke in a soft voice and had a calm expression on his face, for Ren Ruowei, it was no less than five thunderbolts, and he was awakened from the state of rage immediately. Thinking of Zhong Shi's almost never-missing investment performance, Ren Ruowei suddenly became flustered, and for a moment he was so nervous that he didn't know where to put his hands. After being embarrassed for a while, he said embarrassingly: "Zhong Sheng, I That's not what I meant, I just..."

"Just what?" Zhong Shi sat up straight, looked directly at Ren Ruowei with piercing eyes, and said word by word, "It's just that you can't bear the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars every day, can you? Looking at the book's surplus day by day If you keep it down, your heart will be pierced like a knife, and you will be tormented in every possible way, but you can't use any strength, right?"

   "That's right, that's how it feels!" Ren Ruowei nodded his head like a pounding garlic. Obviously, what Zhong Shi said touched Ren Ruowei's heart.

With a smile on his face, Zhong Shi shook his head slightly, and after sighing deeply, he said, "Jimmy, you are still a little tender. Although South Korea seems to have reached an agreement with the IMF, there are still many specific issues to come. The work needs to be implemented, and it is too early to close positions. You must know that South Korea is the eleventh largest economy in the world, and its economy is more developed than that of Thailand, the Philippines and other countries. Days or a month or two months can end. Wait and see, although the current situation is very good for them, but it has just begun!"

  Ren Ruowei squirmed his lips a few times, wanting to open his mouth to refute, but Zhong Shi's words made sense, and he couldn't open his mouth to refute.

Seeing Ren Ruowei's hesitant expression, Zhong Shi sighed again, and said helplessly: "Is that so? Since you intend to close the position, then I allow you to close the position. But not all, but 1.5 billion U.S. dollar position, try your best to close this part of the short position. I don’t care what strategy you use, and I don’t ask when you close the position, as long as you try your best to grab the biggest profit, it’s okay.”

  Although not all positions were closed, Ren Ruowei was already satisfied, and nodded repeatedly: "No problem, I will do my best to maximize the profit."

"However..." Zhong Shi's eyes rolled around, and after looking up and down Ren Ruowei maliciously, he continued, "How about this! Jimmy, let's make a bet, just based on today's performance As a benchmark, the short position of 1.5 billion won is for you to operate, and I will take care of the rest for a period of three months. If my rate of return is higher than yours by then, then you will lose me one thing. And vice versa , how about, do you bet on this bet?"

  Hearing that he was going to gamble again, Ren Ruowei's brows immediately frowned into a big "Chuan". It seems that in the history of gambling within Tianyu Fund, Zhong Shi has never lost. However, at the thought of breaking this myth, Ren Ruowei's heart became hot again, but he was cautious by nature, so he didn't agree easily, instead he tried first: "Zhong Sheng, with the current position, won't you be short again?" ? Let’s talk about the bargaining chips first, if it’s something I can’t afford, I’m afraid this gamble can’t continue.”

  There is a reason why he made this condition. You must know that if the short position of 5 billion US dollars does not continue to expand, the operation in the market can only be closed. And the liquidation of this scale is the factor that promotes the rise of the Korean won, because if you want to buy the Korean won, if you don't continue to short it, it is obviously not good for Zhongshi.

   As for the bargaining chips, there is naturally a condition added by the way. In fact, at Ren Ruowei's wealth level, there are very few things he can't afford, but just in case, he still wants to say something ugly up front.

   "That's fine!" Unexpectedly, Zhong Shi agreed without thinking, "As for the bet, just a Rolls Royce, you can afford a few million Hong Kong dollars, right?"

  As soon as Ren Ruowei heard about the bet, Ren Ruowei's face immediately collapsed. Although Rolls-Royce only needs a few million Hong Kong dollars, it must be available for purchase. As a representative of British aristocratic cars, Rolls-Royce is not only expensive, but also selects customers, that is to say, it is not something you can buy with money, but also has a certain social status and prestige. With the current Ren Ruowei, this is undoubtedly a bit difficult.

   Naturally, none of this was a problem for Zhongshi.

However, when he thought of the possibility of defeating Zhong Shi, and Zhong Shi didn't seem to have heard the trap he had set before, Ren Ruowei's mind became active again. After several calculations in his mind, he nodded and happily Said: "No problem, I'm OK with this bet. Zhong Sheng, you should prepare early, I can't wait to get a new car!"

Zhong Shi stared at Ren Ruowei speechlessly, looked him up and down, until Ren Ruowei's heart was frightened, and then he said lightly: "You are very confident! But when self-confidence reaches a certain level, it becomes arrogant. It's a bad mentality. I think it's better for you to book a car now, so as not to be in a hurry. To be honest, I originally planned to let you buy a horse, but after thinking about it, forget it."

  Ren Ruowei's cold sweat immediately broke down. Although it doesn’t cost much to buy a horse, even a noble horse with a pure bloodline, but later you need to hire a horse trainer, buy seats at the racetrack, etc., so it will cost at least a million Hong Kong dollars a year. After five years, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars will have to be invested, far more expensive than a Rolls Royce.

   Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Ren Ruowei escaped from Zhong Shi's office in a panic under Zhong Shi's half-smile expression. At this time, he just wanted to hide as far away as possible.

"I'm gambling with South Korea's national fortune!" Zhong Shi looked at Ren Ruowei's back and said this thoughtfully, then dialed a number and whispered, "It's me! The South Korean side Has there been any news recently?"

  …

   Rodney Jones has been very annoying recently, and it's not just ordinary. Just yesterday, there was a theft in the office building where he was located. Although it was only the theft in the next door unit, it undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Rodney Jones.

He just went to work that day, and after hearing about the theft, he hurriedly opened the safe, and found that the research materials, computers and other items inside were lying there safe and sound, without any trace of being passive, he let out a long breath, This relieved a tense heart.

  As the representative of Quantum Fund in Hong Kong and the chief economist of the Asian market, Rodney Jones is currently under pressure from all sides. Originally in September, Soros publicly declared that the Asian currency turmoil had passed, which made Rodney Jones, who was criticized by all parties, feel relieved. In fact, Soros did so, but not in Hong Kong. It is not in South Korea, but in Indonesia, which has been rescued by the International Monetary Fund. As for the above two places, Soros is naturally not wrong to attack.

Since the attacks by international speculators broke out in Hong Kong and South Korea, Rodney Jones and several of his staff have once again become the focus of attention. From time to time, financial reporters came to the door to interview, but they were all declined by Rodney Jones, and this time He is also smart and no longer publishes signed articles in the public media, which also makes him receive a lot less attention. After all, there is still a big boss in front of him to attract firepower.

However, Quantum Fund has encountered trouble in being long on the Indonesian rupiah. Although the International Monetary Fund has allocated the first batch of aid to the Indonesian government, the Indonesian rupiah has not rebounded as expected. On the contrary, it has reached 1 US dollar to 3200 Indonesian rupiah and then began to fall slowly, and now it has fallen below the price at which they opened their positions. This surprised Soros and Druckenmiller, and naturally ordered Hong Kong to investigate Indonesia's real economic situation when they were puzzled.

Putting the computer and other items into the travel bag, Rodney Jones called an official of the Central Bank of Indonesia. After making an appointment, he took two researchers out of the office in Central and went directly to Kai Tak Airport.

Due to his sensitive identity, Rodney Jones first ran to Thailand, then secretly transferred to Singapore, then crossed the sea to Malaysia, and finally flew to Jakarta, so that he could reach his destination without anyone noticing. up. After all, he is the representative of the Quantum Fund, and every move he travels may be monitored. At such a cusp, it will even cause various speculations in the market. Interested people will even guess the intention of the Quantum Fund, which will affect their trading activities. Unpredictable trouble.

  Although it is a bit troublesome to switch back and forth, Rodney Jones also knows that this is an extraordinary moment, and it is necessary to take more safety measures.

However, what Rodney Jones didn't know was that the theft in the unit next door to him was completely a cover-up, and the real purpose was that Rodney Jones and his Quantum Fund planted a Trojan horse on his phone. At the same time, a bug was installed on his phone, not only his whereabouts were no longer secrets, even his research results were probably the same.
