super energy power

Chatting with more than ten people at the same time, not only wastes saliva, but also consumes energy. .But in the financial market, companies above the designated size are eligible to enter the inner circle, and it is difficult for anyone to exclude anyone.

Even Sioux City itself only prepared more than 30 billion U.S. dollars, and set up a 175 billion U.S. dollar offshore fund, preparing to leverage the 00 billion U.S. dollar futures market.It can be said that as long as there are like-minded friends, any company has the qualification to sit on an equal footing with bp and Industrial Bank.

Therefore, even if you are standing in the center of the banquet, there are always executives who come to say hello and "new friends" who join the conversation.

Sioux City didn't want his short life in the Financial City to be full of confrontation, so he could only try his best to participate in the chat, and in the process of exchanging news, get to know other people better.

When it was about to enter the rhythm of the night, Paxon from the Paxon Foundation turned around again, with a chestnut-haired beauty in his arms, and said with an exaggerated smile: "My God, you just stood and talked like this for two hours? Really? Great, didn't you realize that the women nearby are almost disappearing?"

He drank the champagne in his hand, then took two more glasses from the passing waiter's tray, handed them to Su Cheng, put an arm on his shoulder, pretended to be familiar, and said with a smile: " If you’re drunk, you won’t be able to hear the nagging of the old men, and if you don’t drink two bottles of champagne at a party like this, you’ll definitely want to jump off the stairs.”

Su Cheng took it over with a smile, and drank half of the glass in one go.

It's half humorous to match him, and half genuinely boring.

If it was in China, or a relatively familiar Asian region, Sioux City would not play chat games with a group of old men.However, the City of London is a daunting place after all. Many financial companies here, or the executives of financial companies, can be traced back a hundred years ago. Not comparable to Dahua, the legendary Rothschild family, or the modern Morgan and Rockefeller families, all regard the City of London as an important foundation.

If the size of the Pan Asia Fund is barely enough to be a giant crocodile, then in terms of predation skills, both Lehman Brothers and Industrial Bank can be called technological giants. As for those legendary existences, they can be called prehistoric. A giant crocodile can crush any self-righteous giant crocodile with its teeth.

With Sioux Cheng's cautious personality, he would not make enemies in the City of London for no reason.

Although he was indeed planning to hunt here, before seeing the food, Sioux City maintained a traditional Asian style.

Therefore, when everyone chatted, he chatted with the flow, and when everyone exchanged information, he exchanged information with the flow until Paxon, who named the fund company after himself, came back.

In the circle, a tall white man with thick facial hair also drank the bourbon in his hand in one gulp, and said with a smile: "Can the old man stand for two hours? Although the doctor said that I am not in good health, live It won't be too long, but with the current medical technology, it is no problem for me to see the 50-year calendar, how can I be treated as an old man?"

"It's Mr. Lagarde." Paxon seemed to be familiar with the European president of Enron, and laughed, "If you want to see the 50-year calendar, I can give you one tomorrow."

"Ah, do you want my place?" Lagarde made a skeptical performance, which caused everyone to laugh.

Paxon hugged the beauty tightly, and said with a smile, "When I become Enron's major shareholder, I will also be the president of the European region. Don't worry, Enron's stock price will soar upwards."

If it is good, it will immediately become full of gunpowder.

Lagarde's smile became extremely fake, and said: "With the current Paxon Fund, how many Enron stocks can be acquired? Be careful that the hostile acquisition will not be successful, and it will be swallowed instead."

"Of course such an inflated price is not acceptable now. I will wait for Enron's stock price to return to its actual value." Paxson confronted him with a provocative face, just like a high school student athlete.

Su Cheng looked at this irritable-looking guy with great interest.It took courage to predict the inflated value of Enron in 1994. Of course, it didn't take as much courage as before and after 98, but it was still a powerful prediction.

After all, in the mid-to-late 90s, Enron was almost a model of financial success. Their methods and strategies made investment institutions all over the United States, or financial institutions in half the world, recommend them and give them high-star ratings.It is very difficult to find a financial institution that has not invested in Enron, at least it is much more difficult than finding a tea shop in Black Africa.

If it weren't for the financial crisis and the coincidental accounting discovery, it would be hard to say whether Enron would eventually go bankrupt. Even if Paxson's remarks were just sarcasm, he might not be aimless. Just kidding by saying a completely opposite prediction.

Lagarde's face was green, as if she had changed from English to Peruvian.

When the atmosphere was tense, the British president of Societe Generale clapped his hands, took over the topic, and asked Su Cheng directly: "How long will Pan Asia Fund's short-selling last?"

This is a topic that everyone cares about. In an instant, the eyes of Lagarde and others gathered.

Su Cheng didn't expect the topic to come back to him. He frowned and asked, "Industrial Bank still has ambitions for oil futures?"

"Didn't Dahua Industrial also join in?"

"We made the decision after preparing for a long time, what about Xingye?"

"Industrial has been one of the shareholders of Total for a long time. The financial market cannot be separated from oil, and the oil market cannot be separated from the financial market. If the futures market changes too much, it cannot be said to be good news for major companies. "The British president of the Industrial Bank said this, staring at Sioux City, and said: "Dahua Industrial is an oil company, and the continuous short buying has exceeded the requirements for hedging."

For oil companies, their hedging is originally to buy short the futures market. If the annual production of 100 million barrels of crude oil, they can short 100 million barrels in the futures market. Losses, income unchanged.If the price of crude oil falls, inventories lose money and futures gain, income remains the same.

As a result, the production enterprise can carry out production without risk and concentrate on this.

However, there are always some hedging companies, unable to bear the loneliness, and will bet more and more on the financial market.In the eyes of bankers with strict risk control, Dahua Industrial is such an enterprise.

In fact, the huge losses that often occur in the financial world are indeed easy to happen to such half-baked enterprises, just like half-baked collectors are easy to be missed, and half-baked financial companies are often bankrupt.

Su Cheng pondered and did not speak.It is impossible to say that there is no anxiety at all. Unlike the previous futures trading, this time, he can't rely on the power of foresight, and he still operates more on his own.

Just the bursting production capacity of Aqijiu Oilfield does not guarantee huge profits.Perhaps it is okay to generate profits, but after preparing for so long, Su Cheng is not reconciled to a little profit.

Lagarde saw something from Sioux City's attitude, and said in surprise, "Dahua Industry really wants to be a big short seller in the market?"

"The financial behavior of Pan Asia Fund has nothing to do with Dahua Industrial." Sioux City first put aside the rights and responsibilities, and then said: "As I said before, I am not optimistic about the price of crude oil."

Lagarde's complexion gradually became serious, and said: "So, Dahua Industrial...well, the goal of Pan Asia Fund is limited to oil futures?"

Su Cheng thought for a while, and gave an affirmative answer: "That's right."

Several people in the circle looked at each other with expressions of a wolf coming.

For a fund of US$175 billion, the concepts of diversification and concentration are completely different.In layman's terms, a desperate gambler always looks aggressive before he turns his cards.

Lagarde repeated: "It seems that Fanya is really going to be a big short."

"Does An Ran want to share?" Su Cheng used interrogative language.

If there are a large number of short positions, even if only financial means are used, the price of crude oil can be suppressed a lot.

However, this method requires a huge amount of funds, unlike crude oil spot that can impact the spot market, the resources required for futures trading, which accounts for 90% of the global trading volume, are more than ten times that of spot trading.

However, Lagarde obviously wouldn't accept Sioux City's favor, and laughed hoarsely, and said, "We prefer low-risk projects. It's too risky to bet on the drop in crude oil prices now."

Su Cheng turned his attention to the others.

Speaking of this, it is natural to recruit allied forces.

When Soros stirred up the pound sterling and the money markets in Southeast Asia, followed by an army of [-] trillion super hot money, Sioux City did not want to be alone.

He looked from left to right, one by one.

The enthusiastic man from Lehman Brothers shook his head slightly, not to mention the mocking face of the British president of the Industrial Bank, although the executives of BP and Aruba Investment Company were smiling, but did not express anything...

Paxon, who gave Sioux City his business card, also hesitated at this time.

He is indeed interested in the short selling of Pan Asia Fund, but he still has to think about it if he wants to give up.

Beside him, Masao Ito from Ito Trading Co., who had been silent all this time, burst out laughing, and said in proficient Chinese: "The crude oil market is calm, whether it is Dahua Industrial or Pan Asia Fund, it is worse to stir him than to stir the lake water." Difficult, Chairman Su Cheng should stop deceiving people here. If there is any conspiracy, please put it away."

"Conspiracy?" Su Cheng glared at this guy.

"Here, there are news everywhere. To win everyone's trust, the chairman of Sioux City needs to prepare a lot." Masao Ito smiled like an old cat.

Su Cheng quietly picked up the wine glass, silently feeling the besiege on all sides.
