Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"Gentlemen, let me tell you, even if these 50 billion US dollars in bonds are only discounted by half, they would still be worth 25 billion US dollars. In Hong Kong today, very few people can acquire such a large amount of bonds. There is indeed one financial institution that has the capability to acquire such a large amount of bonds."

In an office in the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing House, several foreigners were discussing bonds. The subprime mortgage crisis in North America had erupted, and the financial tsunami swept the globe, leaving many people bankrupt.

Today, a group of people from Wall Street approached the Hong Kong branch of the company, asking them to help find a buyer to take over their assets.

"Oh, really? There are such financial institutions? We just want to find Chinese people here to take over. We know that there are wealthy Chinese people here, they are very rich." One of the Wall Street people's eyes lit up. Now, the bonds they hold, although they can't be called junk bonds, are basically difficult to redeem. Moreover, another reason is that these companies are in trouble, and they, as underwriters, need to help them sell these bonds.

They packaged these bonds together, intending to sell them at half price.

The other person's eyes lit up, and he said, "Quickly introduce us to them."

The man stationed in Hong Kong looked at his Wall Street colleagues with disbelief and said, "I can't guarantee they'll buy your bonds. I'm just making an introduction. But if it works out, I want..." He gestured with his thumb and forefinger, and the men immediately understood. They said, "We'll naturally give you a commission, 0.1%."

"OK, that makes sense."

……

Zhang San received the message from the overseas financial group a few days after he took charge of the Fuli Real Estate project, before the mainland had released the 400 million drops of water.

"Have them bring over the list of those bonds for us to look at."

Soon, he received a new email with a list. The list was very simple, consisting entirely of the issuers of those bonds. These companies were currently facing difficulties, and he had his people in North America retrieve the information about these companies.

Five hundred billion US dollars in bonds is a huge amount. There are too many companies involved, so he can only review them slowly. There are also the terms and restrictions of the bonds. North America is in a very difficult situation right now. However, he remembered something. Back then, a boss in Hong Kong, probably a big boss, took on a huge amount of bonds. After the crisis, he made a fortune from those bonds.

Now, the bond has come to him, but he feels that the bond is a bit late.

He is now carefully examining the details of this bond.

If it's discounted by half, that's 25 billion US dollars. That's a sum that not just anyone can come up with. This time, many people were tricked by him. He triggered the crisis ahead of time and sold off his stocks, catching many people off guard.

These people don't have that much cash on hand, and loans are out of the question. Shanghai Hui Bank suffered a major setback in North America this time, losing tens of billions of dollars—and those losses are permanent. Now, they're preparing to sell their North American bond-issuing company in an attempt to recoup their losses.

At this point, where would they find the time to handle a $25 billion transaction? Of course, lack of funds is a primary reason, but besides that, they have a mountain of debts to deal with. A comeback is out of the question in the short term. If they weren't the issuing bank, they probably would have already…

Overseas Financial Group is now the largest shareholder of Shanghai Hui, and a large portion of their future profits will go to Overseas Financial Group.

"I'll pay for this. I happen to have some money that I don't know how to spend."

Where did he get this money?

Of course, it came from shorting North America. This money is illicit and its return to North America is a boon to the region. However, this $25 billion certainly cannot be paid out by one person at once, and Zhang San will not show his face. So who will pay for this money?

Of course, it should be led by overseas financial groups, forming a consortium, and then having them contribute the money.

Hong Kong, one of the world's financial centers, is home to numerous overseas institutions and is also known as the world's spy capital, attracting countless people with ulterior motives to stay here.

Their contribution also played a part in Hong Kong's prosperity.

Today, Overseas Financial Group signed an agreement with a renowned investment bank from Wall Street at the Peninsula Hotel. Overseas Financial Group will form a consortium with eighteen financial institutions to sign contracts to purchase bonds with a face value of $50 billion held by them.

The unified statement used by the overseas financial group to the outside world is to share risks. They have found eighteen financial institutions, so there are no problems with the group's operations.

The top-ranked investment bank on Wall Street also expressed its admiration for the strength of the overseas financial group... Many media outlets were present that day and reported on it extensively.

The signing ceremony was successfully completed in a lively atmosphere.

After Zhang San received the bonds, he began to investigate those companies to see if there were any opportunities to invest in them, inject capital into them, and help them improve so that they would be profitable after the crisis.

Once these companies become profitable, he will not only reap the rewards of his investments in these companies, but also receive huge returns on his bonds.

If calculated based on the coupon rate, the actual return would be over 8%. If the actual value of the bond returns to its face value, then these five-year bonds would yield a return of 180% or even higher.

Moreover, the stocks of these companies will also yield substantial returns.

This three-pronged approach could completely save them. As for the investment banks on Wall Street, they felt that these companies were basically doomed if the global economy did not improve.

Zhang San's organization in North America began analyzing these companies, hoping to find a way to save them from their dire straits.

On the other hand, some new funds are starting to gamble, hoping to make a name for themselves by buying stocks of companies that are not doing well. If someone observes closely and connects those companies with the bonds that Zhang San bought, they will find that... there is a high degree of overlap.

"Even garbage can be treasured by some on Wall Street. Who knows, there might be gold hidden in the garbage."

Some Wall Street veterans, who have stood firm on Wall Street for many years, what haven't they seen? This kind of thing is nothing, they will only ruthlessly ridicule and mock.
