Chapter 927 A blow to the head, a dilemma
Xu Liang’s eyes flashed and he said with a smile: “James, for your sake, I will consider this matter carefully.”
“Consider? "
"Of course, for such an important matter, I also need to refer to the think tank's advice," Xu Liang said matter-of-factly.
“How long will it take before we get the results?”
"One week, I will call you within one week."
"Okay, just one week."
Xu Liang smiled and looked at the two people's expressions.
"Do you two have anything else to do? If not, I have to say goodbye. There is still a beauty waiting at home."
The two looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.
"Since Mr. Xu has a beautiful woman with him, we won't disturb him."
Xu Liang stood up, "Then we'll see you in a week."
The two nodded.
They shook hands with each other.
"Mr. Hughes, thank you very much for your hospitality."
Paul Hughes said quickly: "Mr. Xu, you are welcome. You are a distinguished guest of the Morgan Club. The door here is open to you at any time."
After nodding with a smile, Xu Liang turned around and left the room.
A group of people came to the hall talking and laughing.
As soon as I walked out of the stairs, I saw a tall figure walking over quickly.
Xu Liang’s bodyguard stood in front of him instantly.
The visitor quickly said: "Mr. Xu, I am Donald, a VIP customer of Hanhua. We met at Hanhua's investment reception."
Xu Liang saw the golden back and young I saw some very familiar faces.
Isn’t this the King of Understanding?
Patted Huo Gang on the shoulder, "Gangzi, relax."
Huo Gang nodded, turned around and moved out of the way.
"Mr. Donald, what can I do?"
King Wang quickly took out a gold-gilt business card from his pocket.
"Mr. Xu, this is my business card."
Xu Liang took it. On the front of the business card was a phone number and on the back was a picture of the sultry Wang Dong.
"Mr. Xu, you are the world-class business genius and investment elite that I respect most. Your talent is unparalleled. I hope to have the opportunity to consult with you on business management and investment in person."
Looking at the philistine-looking Wang Ming in front of him, he is still an ordinary rich man that not many people care about. He has a little influence in the hotel, real estate and entertainment industries, and he cannot get into the eyes of top people at all.
But ten years later, he will take over Obama's responsibility and become the most wild president in American history.
Thinking of this, Xu Liang took out a business card and handed it over.
"I will call you when I have the opportunity in the future."
Trump was overjoyed. He had planned to become familiar with him, but he didn't expect to get a business card. It was such a surprise.
"Thank you, Mr. Xu, thank you very much."
Xu Liang smiled and walked outside.
Arrived outside the door, said hello briefly and left.
James Goldman and Lloyd Blankfein got into the same car.
“Do you know that Trump?” Lloyd asked.
"Know? The Trump Hotel is his property."
Lloyd understood.
As a five-star hotel chain brand, Trump Hotels also has a certain influence in the business community.
“Just a hotel?”
“There are also a few office buildings and resorts, but their operations are not very successful.”
"How could such a person attract the attention of Golden Caesar?" Lloyd wondered.
James couldn’t understand either.
"Maybe because he is a client of Hanhua?"
Lloyd shook his head, "It's best to investigate."
"Lloyd, don't It’s too nervous. We only provide funds for this matter. The specific operation is the business of those guys. Regardless of success or failure, we will make money.”
Lloyd said calmly: "Golden Caesar is far more difficult to deal with than I thought. Our plan may not succeed."
"It is definitely difficult to deal with, otherwise he would not have developed to this point. Otherwise, those This guy is not so cautious." After looking at him, James smiled and said, "As for the plan, it's best if it succeeds. It doesn't matter if it fails."
Lloyd nodded.
“Da Mo really doesn’t plan to join?”
"The risk is too high, it's unnecessary. Why, Goldman Sachs plans to join?" James asked with a smile.
"As you said, the risk is too high."
The two smiled, they were both old foxes, and they couldn't test their true thoughts with a few words.
——
Dong dong……
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
Lu Hui opened the door and came in, holding a steaming porcelain bowl in her hand.
Put it on the low table next to it.
“I cooked you a bowl of white fungus and lotus seed soup. Do you want to try it?”
"Okay, I happen to be a little hungry."
Xu Liang stood up and walked around the desk and sat down next to it.
When you open the lid, a refreshing fragrance hits your nostrils.
“It tastes really good.”
“Try it.”
She took the spoon from Lu Hui's hand, scooped some out, blew it briefly and put it into her mouth.
After a brief taste, he nodded and expressed appreciation.
"Yes, your soup-making skills have improved again."
Lv Hui showed a smile on her face, "As long as you like it."
"Would you like some? ?”
"No, I just ate some down there." Lu Hui waved her hand.
"Then I won't be polite."
Xu Liang slurped down a large bowl of porridge with the side dishes prepared by the beauty.
I wiped my mouth with satisfaction and patted my belly.
“Having a full meal is the greatest satisfaction.”
Lu Hui smiled and simply cleared the table.
Sit next to Xu Liang, "After I came back tonight, I saw that you have been very worried. What happened?"
In addition to relatives, Lu Hui was with the women around him. Be around the longest.
For five years, not to mention every moment, but half of the time, the two of them were together.
In terms of understanding, Lu Hui understands the men around her better than any woman.
After looking at her, Xu Liang briefly told the story of his meeting with James Goldman and Lloyd Blankfein tonight.
“A low-interest loan of US$20 billion?”
Xu Liang nodded slightly, “I originally planned to use this number to test it out, but I didn’t expect that they actually agreed. Especially now, The Fed’s interest rate hike cycle continues.
You are still planning to lend me so much money at an interest rate of 5.9%?
This is not the style of Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.”
< br>
What is capital?
The evil spirit that eats people without spitting out their bones!
The only thing that can make them give up their interests is greater interests.
So, there must be something promised to Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs.
Who is the key party hiding in the dark?
What's the purpose?
“Someone wants to target you?”
Lu Hui said with a solemn expression.
Xu Liang nodded slowly, "Who is the key opponent? What is the plan?"
"It must be Larry Ellison of Oracle." Lu Hui said.
Xu Liang rubbed his chin. He had many enemies in the United States.
Ellison is just one of them.
The remaining ones are Paul Singer, CEO of Elliott Management Company. The Soros family of Quantum Fund.
The four major grain merchants: ADM, Bunge, Louis Dreyfus and Cargill.
Search giant Google and even Amazon and Yahoo are possibilities.
As the company gets bigger and there are more enemies, it is difficult to tell who is really behind the scenes.
“What are you going to do?”
“I haven’t thought about it yet.”
There are two paths before Xu Liang: taking advantage of the situation and waiting to see what happens.
The former takes the initiative, while the latter waits passively.
He doesn't like waiting, but he's not sure whether it's feasible to take advantage of the situation.
The key is, if someone is really targeting you secretly, where will they do it?
Hongmeng, Master Kong, or Vivendi?
Xu Liangliang shook his head.
Even if a company fails, it does not pose much of a threat to itself.
And the benefits are too small, I’m afraid they won’t be enough.
If several companies take action at the same time, the most they will do is short the stock price, which will not have any substantial impact.
After all, except for Vivendi, other companies basically do not have too high liabilities and their operations are also very stable.
If it is not a company, then it is for investment.
Venture and equity investments are unlikely.
Venture capital is not listed, and the target is too small, the number is too large, and it is too troublesome.
Equity investment, each portfolio has more than a dozen different companies.
Not only is it difficult, but the key is offending people.
“So, the last possible options are futures, exchange rates, and subprime debt.”
Subprime debt is unlikely.
The way he shorted subprime debt was through guaranteed debentures, and the handling fee for guaranteed debentures rated 3A was too low.
Only 0.2%.
No matter how long he goes, it is impossible for him to suffer too big a loss.
Exchange rate.
Mainly Chinese coins.
Hanhua Pacific No. 1 Fund invested US$10 billion in this, doing long positions through many markets such as the US dollar, Japanese yen, and Hong Kong dollars.
After one and a half years, the leverage has been used to 2.7 times, leveraging 27 billion US dollars to go long. It is one of the largest players in the Chinese foreign exchange market.
If he goes short on the foreign exchange market, it will really cause him huge losses.
But the fundamental reason for the rise and fall of the foreign exchange market is still related to the country's exchange rate policy.
Now the United States wants the Chinese currency to appreciate, and China also plans to appreciate the currency. This is the general trend.
If those guys hiding in the dark bumped into him, Xu Liang wouldn't mind fighting with them in the foreign exchange market.
He is on the side of the general trend and is sure to win.
Finally, there are futures.
He invests in many types of futures.
Mainly divided into two categories.
One category is crude oil, iron ore, copper ore and coal.
One category is precious metals including gold and silver.
The most likely ones are crude oil and gold.
These two are highly interdependent. If crude oil rises, gold will generally rise, and vice versa.
More importantly, the markets for crude oil and gold are large enough.
The former’s annual trading volume is close to 100 million lots, worth six trillion US dollars.
The latter’s annual trading volume is nearly US$4 trillion.
Even if you control hundreds of billions of dollars to enter, the two major markets can still fully absorb it.
This is the fighting field that is truly suitable for him. If he wins, he will earn more; if he loses, he will also lose...more!
"Is it gold or crude oil?"
Xu Liang pondered for a long time.
He thought it was crude oil.
Because the crude oil market is larger, he invested the most.
Not just Pacific 2 Fund, but also Vidywang Group, Hynix Group and Red Rock Fund.
Taken together, the principal invested by various companies exceeds 10 billion U.S. dollars, and the customer funds are 6 billion U.S. dollars.
If you include leverage, it will double or even more.
Being short on crude oil will definitely touch your sensitive nerves, and then you will end up fighting.
But now the rise in crude oil is an international trend, and it is not something that a few enterprise groups can do to reverse this trend.
Washington must come forward.
Xu Liang was shocked and his expression suddenly changed.
If his conjecture is correct, it means that what he is facing is not just a few companies, but a huge interest group that combines politics and business.
They regard themselves as fat pigs, intending to kill them and drink them.
Only a sufficiently large interest group can drive Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to serve them.
Give yourself a loan at a low interest rate.
The purpose is to allow him to have enough funds to invest when oil prices or gold prices fall in the future.
Waiting until his working capital was almost invested.
These people will completely drive down the price of oil or gold and swallow up all their investments.
By the way, I also eat all the assets that I have mortgaged.
Even if I can keep some of my assets by then, I am afraid that most of the industry I have earned over the years will be lost.
But, if you understand the opponent's purpose, can you retreat in advance?
I’m afraid not.
Because he has invested principal, raised capital and leverage in oil, totaling huge assets of US$30 billion.
Once you retreat, the other party will probably take action immediately.
At that time, your losses will be extremely huge.
And not only is the money lost, Pacific Fund's unbeaten reputation will also fade.
When the time comes, it will not be so easy for him to use the shares of this fund in exchange for benefits and promote the development of other industries.
So this is killing two birds with one stone.
The low-interest loans from Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are not just loans, they are also a declaration of war.
Tell him Xu Liang clearly.
We are ready.
Are you going to fight with all your strength, or are you going to cut yourself off and leave?
"When I acquired the Vidy Wang Group and enjoyed the joy of success, I was hit in the head. It hurt and was so cruel!"
Xu Liangliang gritted his teeth.
"Mr. Xu, what did you think of?"
Seeing Xu Liang frowning, angry, and disbelieving for a while, Lu Hui felt inexplicably panicked.
For so many years, she had rarely seen this expression on a man's face.
Looking at her concerned eyes, Xu Liang held her cold jade hand, patted it gently and comforted her.
"It's okay, I just thought of some possibilities."
This time the matter was too big. Xu Liang was still sorting out his thoughts and was not ready to tell Lu Hui.
Looked at the time.
“Let’s go, it’s time for us to rest.”
Seeing that he didn’t want to say anything, Lu Hui didn’t ask any more questions.
Come to the bedroom.
Because her health was not yet well, Xu Liang did not show off his power.
After taking a bath, I hugged the beauty and fell asleep.
The rain outside the window was still falling, but Xu Liang was a little insomniac.
This was the first time since his rebirth that he had insomnia.
I feel an unprecedented struggle and hesitation.
No matter which way I choose, I feel like I have no bottom line.
