Chapter 944 Let’s Kick Golden Caesar’s Butt
“Mr. Soros.”
Seeing him come in, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses walked up quickly.
"William, how is the situation?"
William Burns, a veteran of the Quantum Fund, shorted the pound in 1992 and shorted Asia in 1997. He has always been Soros's right-hand man. He is also the person he trusts the most.
"A large amount of money has poured into the world's major oil futures markets. In just ten minutes, nearly three billion US dollars have joined.
The power of bulls is very strong.
It should be It was Golden Caesar who took action."
William Burns looked solemn.
Although he has experienced ups and downs and witnessed the storms and waves of the global capital market, he has faced six years of maneuvering and grabbing hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue from the capital market.
He has forcibly built Hanhua from a small Chinese company with no knowledge of writing to a top comprehensive financial group in the world. It is so powerful that if we look at the world and look at the past hundred years, there is only one such company.
No matter how confident he is, he dare not relax at all in front of such a genius.
Old Soros nodded slightly.
“It was indeed Golden Caesar who took action. Yahoo, Facebook, Bing, and even NBC and the Los Angeles Times were full of news about rising gas prices.”
“NBC and the Los Angeles Times?” Burns was surprised.
"Golden Caesar is more difficult to deal with than we expected."
Old Soros smiled boldly, his old face filled with confidence.
“Jin Caesar is indeed a difficult opponent. Looking around the world, he is the best among all young people.
But I will tell him with facts. Compared with quantum Fund, he is still a little greener!”
Looking at the vigorous old Soros.
Burns and other old people from Quantum Fund seemed to have once again seen the financial giant who was manipulating the capital market, shorting the pound and Asian financial markets, and frightening central banks around the world.
Although the tiger is old, its power is stronger!
Everyone who was panicked by Xu Liang's fierce counterattack regained their confidence under the influence of old Soros's strong self-confidence.
"Okay, guys. It's time to get to work, let's kick Golden Caesar's ass."
Old Soros clapped his hands.
The old voice was like a starting gun, and everyone shouted slogans and took action quickly.
——
The total size of the global oil futures market reaches a staggering six trillion US dollars.
But it is less than 17 billion US dollars every day if it is dispersed.
As for Old Soros and Xu Liang, each party has a combined capital of thirty to forty billion U.S. dollars, and combined with leverage, they can leverage two to three hundred billion U.S. dollars.
Such a huge amount of funds poured into the oil futures market in a short period of time, causing huge waves in an instant.
Coupled with the huge public opinion offensive.
The price of oil futures seems to be on a roller coaster, with ups and downs.
But it has always remained at around US$58/barrel.
At this time, Old Soros and others who were originally hiding in the dark were also exposed.
The duel between the two sides quickly attracted the attention of global dignitaries and governments.
Energy is the blood of global industry.
Every decimal point change can attract attention, not to mention such violent shocks.
"Xiaoyang, are you okay on the phone?"
"How much money do you still have in hand, do you need me to transfer it to you again?"
"It won't be used for the time being."
Hongyan has invested all the US$12.7 billion in cash with 5 times leverage.
Instead of selling, Wangke borrowed US$4 billion from Hanhua in the form of mortgage loans.
Selling is too much trouble, a mortgage would be faster.
Coupled with 10.3% of Google shares, 15% of Hermès shares and 33.69% of Sina equity mortgage loans, Hongyan received US$17 billion in funds from Standard Chartered, ICBC, Communications and other banks.
Moreover, the sales of Vivendi bonds are also going very smoothly. US$6 billion has been recovered so far, and US$11.2 billion will be recorded later.
These add up to US$44.9 billion, plus the initial investment of US$13.25 billion, which is US$58.15 billion.
With 5 times leverage, a huge amount of US$290 billion can be leveraged.
The oil futures market cannot absorb such an astonishing amount of money, not to mention a week, even a month.
The reason why Xu Liang mobilized this fund was so that he would not fall into a shortage of funds and become unsustainable when the battle became protracted.
"That's good."
Jiang Xiaoyang breathed a sigh of relief.
“Your tone of voice is a bit unfinished.” Xu Liang said with a smile.
"Dad asked me to ask you, how long will this oil futures speculation last, and how sure are you of winning?"
Xu Liang was stunned for a moment, and quickly said: "Attention from above Arrived? ”
"You made such a big noise, how could the higher-ups not notice it."
In the past week, both parties have burned hundreds of billions of dollars in the oil futures market.
Ordinary people may not know it, but the higher-ups definitely know it.
“I don’t know how long it will take to end. It may be one month, two months, or longer.”
Both parties hold huge amounts of funds in their hands.
Only when the money in hand is almost burned, other means will be used.
Of course, this is just speculation, and there are still variables.
“As for the certainty of winning, if a week ago I was only 60-70% sure, and now that the funds are in place, I am at least 70-80% sure of winning.
In addition, there is another I hope someone can help me with something?”
“What’s the matter?”
"It's hard to talk on the phone. I'll send you an encrypted email later." "Yeah."
After talking about business matters and some trivial matters, Xu Liang hung up. Got the phone.
"Mr. Xu, I have received some invitations recently..."
"Every invitation has been pushed to me."
He has no intention of making compromises with those powerful people now.
“It’s an invitation from Mr. Bush.”
Lu Hui handed over a document.
“He?”
Xu Liang was a little surprised.
He took it and took a look.
"Ferroli Manor?"
He is no stranger to this place. The last time Hanhua held a fund-raising reception in San Francisco, the venue was here.
After a little hesitation.
"If you reply to George W. Bush for me, you will say that I agreed."
"Okay."
He is the president after all, and he is also close to Silicon Valley, so let's meet him.
——
Gulu...
The boiling water slowly poured into the cup, and a strong aroma of coffee filled the air.
Bush slowly stirred it evenly with a spoon and said with a smile.
"Jamaican Blue Mountain is indeed the best coffee in the world. It has a rich and mellow taste. If it were not too hot, I could drink it in one gulp."
Sitting opposite him, wearing The old man in a white lapel T-shirt smiled.
"Good things must be tasted slowly to appreciate its beauty. You are too anxious."
Glancing at him, George W. Bush smiled.
"I'm not in a hurry, but some people are already anxious. If I don't arrange it in advance, people will probably ignore me without the chair under my butt in the future."
The old man smiled.
"Two generations of presidents of the Bush family have a deep-rooted position in American politics. As long as Golden Caesar is not stupid, he will not really offend you."
"That's what he said. But cuts The investment share is also difficult to accept," George W. Bush said with a smile.
The old man nodded, "I thought you came here this time for the Carlyle Group's investment in Facebook, but it seems that is not the case now."
"What you said is only one of my purposes, but the more important thing is..."
Bush Jr. stopped and did not say anything.
But the old man understood that he was still serving the interests of the Bush family.
This is also normal.
In the United States, family comes first, and everything else comes second, including the country.
"Golden Caesar is not easy to convince, especially after old Soros's plan is exposed, I'm afraid he will doubt you even more." The old man said.
"Indeed, Old Soros's plan is too deadly, and it is indeed difficult for me to explain it clearly. However, Golden Caesar is a businessman, and what he values most is interests. As long as there are enough interests, everything is not a problem. "
Bush said with a smile.
"Then what benefits are you prepared to offer?"
Bush was about to speak.
Dong Dong...
There was a knock on the door.
The assistant pushed the door open and said respectfully.
"Mr. President, Mr. Xu is here."
"Please come in."
Not long after, Xu Liang, dressed in casual clothes, stepped in.
A glance showed a trace of surprise.
There were not many people in the room, except George W. Bush, and Alan Greenspan, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve.
This is a legend in the American financial world.
Born on March 6, 1926, he is of Jewish descent. Since becoming chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve Board in 1987, he has served as president of the United States for six terms.
He did not step down until 2006.
Considered to be an authoritative and decisive figure in U.S. national economic policy.
At the peak of his life, he was known as the global "Economic Czar" and "Dollar President".
No matter where you go, you will be received on the red carpet like a head of state.
His briefcase contains the secrets of the "economic engine" of the United States and the world, and many people compare it to the US president's nuclear button.
Queen Elizabeth knighted him in England, and the French gave him the highest honor of the French Legion of Honor.
There is a saying among people in the global financial community: "As soon as Greenspan opens his mouth, global investors will prick up their ears."
Xu Liang did not expect to meet this top boss in the American financial industry here.
"Dear Xu, it is such a pleasure to see you again."
Bush stepped forward to greet him and gave him a cordial hug.
"Mr. President, it is my honor to see you again."
After saying hello, Xu Liang turned his eyes and took the initiative to extend his right hand.
"Mr. Greenspan, you are my idol and someone I have been learning from. I am very happy to see you here."
