Chapter 949 is finally here
"Mr. Gorman, it seems that I won this round." Blankfein said with a smile.
"Okay, Lloyd. I'll deliver Michael's signed record to your house tomorrow."
James Gorman said.
The two made a bet before.
If Xu Liang can persevere in the offensive of Old Soros and others, Gorman is willing to admit defeat and give Lloyd his collection of Michael's signed records.
If Xu Liang loses, Blankfein will donate his collection of "Ferrari Davarez's Four Seasons Fountain Pen".
Now it seems that Blankfein obviously won.
“I didn’t expect Golden Caesars to have such strong capital. Without using the two major funds of Hanhua Pacific and Qinglong, it still gathered nearly 100 billion in huge funds.” Gorman sighed.
Although they don’t know the details of Xu Liang’s use of funds, Hanhua’s investment this time was also operated on JP Morgan’s platform. Through clues, they can also get a glimpse of part of the truth.
Blankfein also had a sigh in his eyes.
Although Goldman Sachs did not participate in this duel, it is constantly collecting more information from both parties through its own internal channels, and is also using complex mathematical models to deduce the amount and source of capital used by both parties.
And which side is more likely to win.
Although the results calculated by Goldman Sachs are more in favor of Soros and others, he himself feels that Xu Liang has a better chance of surviving this crisis.
Now it seems that his intuition is more accurate than the data on paper.
"Lloyd, do you think Golden Caesar can turn defeat into victory this time?" Gorman's eyes flashed.
“I don’t know.”
Blankfein shook his head.
Glancing at him, Gorman couldn't help but complain: "Lloyd, communicating with you is really painful."
Blancfein is taciturn. Although the language can hit the point directly.
But for Gorman, who likes to talk, this kind of chat is really boring.
"I like to save time." Blankfein said calmly.
Gorman shrugged, but after calming down, there was a hint of grimness in his expression.
“Although Golden Caesar withstood this round of offensive, as the signal of the US strategic reserve oil being put on the market was sent, the subsequent bearish trend of global oil has been difficult to reverse.
Therefore, JP Morgan has decided to join the Dragon Slaying Plan."
Gorman's face showed appreciation, "Lloyd, you are one of the few smart people that I can respect. So I plan to invite Goldman Sachs to share Golden Caesar's huge assets of hundreds of billions of dollars."
Blankfein had a hint of thought on his face.
After a while.
"James, I will seriously consider your suggestion."
Gorman is an old man, and he knows the elegant meaning of a string song.
"Goldman Sachs is not optimistic about Dragon Slaying Plan?"
"No. As you said, after Washington sent a signal, the decline in the global oil market has been difficult to reverse. Although Golden Caesar has withstood retail investors in the past few days, funds, but once the institution fails, its power will be several times that of retail investors.
It is impossible for Golden Caesar to come up with another 100 billion.
The probability of success of the dragon-slaying plan is very high." br>
“If that’s the case, why do you still hesitate?
If it is a few days later, other institutions will leave one after another, and even if Morgan and Goldman Sachs join, they will only be able to eat the leftovers. "
Blankfein fell silent.
Gorman's eyes flashed and he said quietly: "Lloyd, Morgan and Goldman Sachs are allies. "
"James, you misunderstood. I'm not hiding anything, I just feel that now is not the best opportunity to enter the market, and there is no specific basis for it. Even if I say it, it is difficult for people to believe it. "
"Intuition? ”
Blankfein nodded and affirmed: "Intuition."
Looking at the man in front of him, Gorman couldn't figure out whether it was just intuition or whether the other person didn't want to say it.
After their eyes collided several times, Gorman suddenly smiled.
“Since you think it’s not the right time, just wait a few more days.”
No matter what ideas Lloyd and Goldman Sachs have, they are destined to be impossible to hide from him.
It’s not too late to figure it out first and then decide whether to take action or wait and see.

“Damn it, why isn’t this yellow-skinned monkey dead?”
In the conference room, Ellison said angrily.
Compared with the joy and excitement two days ago, the atmosphere in the conference room now has become a bit depressing.
No one expected Xu Liang to be so resistant?
Hundreds of billions of short funds poured in from retail investors and some institutions around the world, but they still couldn't shake him.
The price of international oil futures is still firmly fixed at 58 US dollars.
Although there are occasional fluctuations, the price is basically maintained at this price.
For two days in a row, even though they had invested all the funds they had, there was still no change.
Golden Caesar's funds seemed bottomless.
Old Soros, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at everyone and smiled.
“Everyone, I think this is a good thing for us.”
After attracting everyone’s attention with one sentence, Old Soros continued.
“Although the amount of Xu Liang’s funds exceeded our expectations, since Washington announced the release of national oil reserves to suppress oil prices, a global pattern of bearish oil prices has been formed.
Although Golden Caesar has been able to resist retail investors and some institutions with its strong strength, it is destined to be impossible to resist them all.
And I have another good news to announce to you.
JP Morgan, Citigroup, and Blackstone Group have decided to join our dragon-slaying plan.
Soon we will receive more funding. More importantly, with them taking the lead, more large institutions will gradually become short sellers.
No matter how much money Golden Caesar has, it is impossible to block this force that is more magnificent than the Amazon River.
So, we definitely win.
Now we also know that Golden Caesar has strong capital and holds hundreds of billions of dollars in funds. This richer cake is enough for us to share with the new allies who are coming. "
Old Soros stood up slowly, with a triumphant smile on his old face.
"Everyone, we are like the British and French forces in World War I, and Golden Caesar is ferocious. The German army, with our heroic resistance, victory has gradually beckoned to us..."
Bang...
The door of the conference room was slammed open.
The huge sound not only interrupted the passionate speech of Soros, but also attracted everyone's attention.
"Alexander, you..."
Old Soros, who was about to scold his son for being reckless, soon saw the panic and anxiety on his face, and felt an ominous thump in his heart. Come to mind.
Soon his feelings became reality.
"Father, I just received news from the UK. Shell, BP, and Anglo American announced at the same time that they will cut 20% of their oil production capacity in the next three years to cope with future price crises."
< br>“What?!”
Old Soros was stunned on the spot.
The rest of the people were in disbelief.
"No...it's not possible!"
Before he finished speaking, a wave of dizziness came over his heart. Old Soros's vision went dark and his body fell softly.
Alexander Soros was shocked.
"Father..."
Everyone saw it and immediately started to get into chaos.
——
“It’s finally here.”
Looking at the TV broadcast, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.
Most of the pressure that filled my heart has dissipated.
"Mr. Xu, great, we won." Lin Junrui shouted excitedly.
Not just him, the entire trading room cheered.
Xu Liang was just about to respond, but the graceful figure rushed into his arms and kissed him like raindrops.
Smiling, Xu Liang hugged the delicate body in his arms tightly and responded enthusiastically.
Seeing this scene, the people around him smiled with kindness and envy, and then started chatting and laughing excitedly.
After a long time, Lu Hui's mood stabilized a little, and she noticed something strange around her. Her pretty face turned rosy, and she quickly struggled to stand firm from Xu Liang's arms.
However, her mood was still uncontrollably excited.
"Mr. Xu, great! We won!"
"Yes, we won!"
Xu Liang was also full of excitement at this moment, but more I'm still glad, but I'm still afraid.
Now he has spent more than half of the hundreds of billions of dollars in his hands, leaving less than $9 billion so far.
If there is no transfer again.
In one day at most, if he did not want to lose completely, he would have no choice but to close his position and admit defeat.
It can be said that half of his feet are already standing on the edge of the cliff.
Just when he was about to fall to his death, things suddenly took a turn for the worse.
We have a chance to win.
"New York Futures Exchange MTI price exceeded $58.4."
"Tokyo Futures Exchange oil futures price exceeded $58.5."
"London Brent crude oil price exceeded $58.9."… …
Excited shouts filled the entire trading room.
Dingle bell…
Xu Liang's cell phone rang suddenly.
The caller ID shows an unknown number.
But those who can call his personal mobile phone at this time are definitely not ordinary people.
After a brief hesitation, he pressed the answer button.
A somewhat familiar voice came over.
"Mr. Xu, I am William Lewis."
A flash of lightning flashed across Xu Liang's mind, allowing him to instantly understand the identity of the visitor, Princess Diana's eldest son and the future British Crown Prince.
"Good day, Prince William."
After a brief greeting.
"Mr. Xu, my grandmother specifically asked me to call you to thank you for your actions in safeguarding the reputation of the royal family."
"Your Majesty is very polite. Last time I went to Buckingham Palace, I received a grand reception from His Majesty. I have always been grateful. Later, Hanhua cooperated with the royal family more often. Over a long period of time, we have forged a deep friendship.
Of course I will not turn a blind eye to anything that damages the reputation of the royal family.”
