Reinventing the Millennium.

Chapter 998 Golden 48 Hours (6k)

The flight from New York to Shanghai normally takes about 14 hours.

Even counting private jets, it took a group of people with visas to fly from the United States in the middle of the night.

Fang Zhuo thinks this is a good time, he just has a night's rest by himself, and he can cheer up and chat with the big guys tomorrow.

Xu Kaiwei was in charge of Goldman Sachs' investment business in China. His departure did not stop the attempts of various institutional representatives to communicate. Whether it was the phone number run by President Yike or his personal mobile phone, it became more frequent as the news of Fang Zhuo's landing was confirmed.

But these people are different from Xu Kaiwei. Xu Kaiwei belongs to the kind who has both weight and friendship. Without any of these factors, Fang Zhuo refused very quickly.

At seven o'clock in the evening, Fang Zhuo briefly reviewed the new information that had emerged from the United States in the past 11 hours. Apart from the change in the direction of public opinion and the panic of short-selling institutions, there was not much to pay attention to.

The real news that institutions are seeking support from the SEC, as Xu Kaiwei said, is almost gone, and there is no news even of Chicago Vest, which has been actively participating in the short-selling of Yike.

"President Fang, Geithner and Lu Peining have responded, and they will pay attention to the movement."

After Liu Zonghong finished contacting Zhao Zhishan and overseas, it was Fang Zhuo's off-duty time. He didn't express his opinion, and he got up and left the office after packing up the documents on the table.

A group of people became eager to try as Philip turned around, anyway, this was in Huaxia.

It was enough to be defeated by Yike in the market with operations in an upright manner, but now he has to be played by Goldman Sachs who completely ignores the rules and laws!

When Mount on the ground heard this, he reached out from the coffee table to find the ashtray, and threw it at Philip's head with all his might.

Philip was stunned: "That, that's Mr. Paulson..."

"Don't say good words." Zheng Danrui was silent for a few seconds, "Everyone wants to see Yike company getting better and better and growing into a representative company in China. I think Yike's patent problem still needs to be resolved. of."

Philip, senior vice president of Goldman Sachs, looked at the unknown player with red eyes, full of doubts, how did Mr. Fang provoke him?

Fang Zhuo interrupted: "Ask what they mean."

The space outside the president's office is not particularly spacious, and it looks particularly awkward for colleagues crowded here.

Fang Zhuo also felt baffled, this guy was so excited, did he have too much leverage?
Seeing that Philip did not respond at all, Mount said excitedly: "I am Mount from Dollar River Partners, where are my 8000 million stocks? Where are the stocks that Goldman Sachs borrowed for me!!"

Number 32!
Holding the number, Mount felt that it was extremely absurd to sit down next to his acquaintance Smith.

Mount was pulled aside, panting.

He brought the news of Goldman Sachs Emperor Paulson, unwilling to participate in this funny and boring so-called call communication.

Mount didn't know what to say.

Mount blankly followed the directions to the destination of the trip, and soon, he saw a group of people sitting silently outside the office.

If the talks are not good, and others don't know, I will definitely go bankrupt.

"First come first serve, fair enough," Smith replied.

"Brother Zheng, Yi Ke competed abroad, was shorted outside, was bullied by outsiders, and bled outside!" Fang Zhuo interrupted angrily again, raising his voice, "Do I still feel aggrieved and cry after I return home? Let's see who has the face to make me suffer this bird today! Tell me, who else can find you in private!"

"Ao and I are just a pure sports friendship, and MIGA's funds are already multi-layered and offshore."

Philip solemnly replied to the American client he happened to meet: "Mount, we have performed our duties in accordance with the applicable laws. If there is any problem, we can solve it together. If you have any questions about this, you can contact our legal counsel."

Zheng Danrui said slowly: "It's not what you think..."

The chaotic scene finally subsided.

Now everyone knows the situation.

There was no sound outside the president's office.

"About the shorting of Yike this time, what do you think..." Fang Zhuo hadn't finished speaking when he saw the office door was pushed open again, and another foreign man walked in.

Fang Zhuo closed his eyes and meditated.

"The county magistrate is not as good as the current one. Xiao Ao suddenly went to great lengths to interfere with a small decision of the SEC. Once it is exposed by the media, it is also very strange."

"What about the SEC? Will it be obstructed on Monday?" Su Wei talked about the key point mentioned by Xu Kaiwei, and then said, "Is it easy for Xiao Ao to intervene?"

Philip came earlier, but he first communicated with the local Goldman Sachs, then visited the administration, and finally came to Hang Lung 23.

Mr. No. 32 swallowed, holding a piece of paper, and gently pushed open the door of the CEO's office.

Mount wanted to chat with Smith, but lost interest when he saw the other party's face was crying.

Cars stop and go.

A group of bearers stood outside the president's office, with angry expressions on their faces.

Hedge funds of this level do not have very important clients, nor can they leverage other bargaining chips like Goldman Sachs and Bridgewater. Always be kind.

This trip is about so much.

Fang Zhuo said affirmatively, "Talk one by one."

Fang Zhuo raised his forehead, turned his head and said to the bears at the door who had become energetic because of watching the excitement: "Pull open, call my secretary and call the doctor."

The president's office was in chaos, the glass was knocked to the ground, and there were bloodstains on the carpet.

Fang Zhuo explained slightly: "The SEC itself is relatively independent, and the five commissioners are two factions. The current head, Shapiro, emphasizes the supervision and investigation of institutions, which is not quite right for hedge funds."

Fang Zhuo admired it for a while, walked a few steps, opened the door of the office, and called the number himself: "No. 32 fought with the vice president of Goldman Sachs, and No. 33 and No. 34 came in to pull them away."

"Two hundred? Three hundred? Who knows." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I don't care about this now, I only care about the arrival of friends tomorrow."

What really needs Xiao Ao to play is the next time, and the ITC's final decision will be handed directly to his table.

"We need to talk, but we can't talk like Xu Kaiwei came to us." Fang Zhuo said, "It's what I want to talk about, not what they want to talk about."

There was an unreasonable anger in his heart. Is Boss Fang teasing everyone?How can you step on everyone's dignity outside the office like this?

Su Wei asked, "How about tomorrow?"

"That can't be done. I often say that the development of our company is inseparable from the care of the leaders and the encouragement from Brother Zheng." Fang Zhuo thanked me earnestly. How can I get to this day."

Fang Zhuo nodded slightly: "Okay, Goldman Sachs, right, take a number and call you when we arrive."

Mount stiffly walked to the machine with gloating eyes of "I'll go in before you", and tentatively clicked the button on it.

By the time he arrived at Shencheng Henglong by car in a hurry, it was already 8 o'clock.

This number is surprising.

On the 33rd and 34th, one held down the vice president of Goldman Sachs, and the other kicked him on the back.

He frowned and said, "Come one by one, don't jump in line, don't stop."

"Mr. Fang, I heard that you are back. Yike is really good this time." Zheng Danrui said kindly, "I have also been paying attention to the competition that Yike encountered recently, and I have been thinking about whether I can give some support."

Yike closed at $89.67 on Friday.

"Mr. Fang, this time Man Group is due to..."

"Before you flew, the news told me that you took off, and while you were flying, the news told me where you flew, and as soon as you landed, the news told me that you, a famous man, have arrived in Shanghai." Su Wei laughed Yingying said, "Is this the momentum of the second best president in the world?"

"It's time to get off work, and someone will come tomorrow." Fang Zhuo said something unbearably.

But he hates Goldman Sachs!
"Philip, I'm Mount!" Mount gritted his back molars and stared at Philip.

"Yes, Mr. Fang, I'm Mount, the co-founder of DR Fund." Mount suddenly calmed down, and came anyway.

Mount walked into the office, saw a real person for the first time, and saw the rich man who made himself close to doom.

"Lu Peining has relatively little influence. These two days will depend on Geithner's resources. We also have a golfer in the SEC."

While saying this, Philip closed the door and walked into the office.

"Why are you waiting outside with the number?" Mount asked Smith in a low voice.

Fortunately, it was not too late, and I got a seat ticket.

"What are you still doing here?"

"Our fund paid $8000 million to Goldman Sachs to let you borrow stocks for shorting Yike. Where are these stocks!" Mount gritted his teeth, with hatred all over his face.

Philip's color changed slightly, and he remembered that it was this DR fund.

Money is moving, and interests are inspiring.

As the numbers got closer, Mount gradually became tense.

The person introduced himself: "Mr. Fang, I am Philip, the senior vice president of Goldman Sachs. Mr. Paulson wants to talk to you."

Fang Zhuo threw the phone to the sofa: "Boss Su, tell me how difficult it is to earn some money!"

What if, what if one side is always short of this kind of soft-heartedness?
Mount also visited Huaxia last year. He knows that there is a saying in Huaxia called "Man is a sword, I am a fish." Now small and medium-sized organizations like him are in this state, and large organizations may still have leverage.

Hearing this, Philip insisted, "No, no, Mr. Fang, Mr. Paulson wants to talk to you."

Fang Zhuo couldn't help becoming angry: "Brother Zheng, I heard when I was in New York that there are funds in this country to short Yike! I didn't believe it at that time!"

"Sit, Mount, is it from the DR Fund?" Fang Zhuo had a list coming from the screen.

"Yes." Fang Zhuo admitted this, "We are proactively solving this matter."

Then he realized that Smith probably saw himself the same way.

In the financial market, I was willing to bet and admit defeat. I had nothing to say at first. I just blamed myself for despising Yi Ke and Mr. Fang. I regretted it at the beginning, and I can’t even say that I hated the rich man. After all, it was my side who shorted first.

Philip insisted a little angrily, "That's Paul..."

Fang Zhuo raised his hand, and secretary Liu Zonghong helped Mr. No. 67, a senior vice president from Goldman Sachs.

Philip's face was covered with blood, and he was lying on the sofa.

Before Fang Zhuo could speak, Mount suddenly stood up, turned around and gritted his teeth and said, "Don't jump in line!"

Zheng Danrui said angrily: "You talk about a brother, but you really don't have this brother in your heart."

Mount followed silently in his heart, don't jump in line, don't stop.

……

In the next second, he saw the machine at the door of the office.

This...Goldman Sachs broke the law.

He watched Smith walk into the president's office and come out with a stiff face about 5 minutes later.

The size of the hedge fund he is in charge of is about 15 billion US dollars, which is about the same as that of Mount. They are all small players who have confirmed the real bubble of Yike and entered the market.

"How is it?" Mount asked in a low voice when Smith passed by.

Fang Zhuo: "Hmm..."

Mount's flight landed in Shencheng at 7 o'clock in the morning.

When the SEC discovers or receives a report, it can legally and reasonably conduct judicial intervention and initiate an investigation.

Fang Zhuo understood that DR Fund shorted Yike through securities lending, and relied on Goldman Sachs Group to complete the short sale. As a result, Goldman Sachs did not borrow stocks, and directly helped DR Fund with a naked short sale.

Hearing such excitement, Zheng Danrui's scalp felt a little numb: "Don't shout, it's..."

Fang Zhuo took a breath, sighed, and said, "Brother Zheng, you know how difficult my journey is to come here."

Su Wei listened to this communication with her own ears, and said sincerely: "Mr. Fang, I sometimes feel that you really deserve your money."

The boring and anxious waiting has become much smoother because of the company of the peers.

The machine spits out slips of paper with numbers written on it.

Fourteen hours were wasted on the plane.

On the car home, Liu Zonghong reported one more thing: "Mr. Fang, someone said hello to the CCTV interviewer."

After pondering for a moment, Zheng Danrui said: "Mr. Fang, I have also heard some things vaguely. This call is not for business, but..."

Philip frowned and said condescendingly, "I'm Philip from Goldman Sachs."

This time Yike stirred up a lot of noise. Although the main force is foreign countries, there seems to be financial connections in China.

Fang Zhuo didn't want to hear the name at all, so he interrupted again: "Okay, Brother Zheng, you don't need to say who it is, I will bring the documents to the capital and cry to the leader right now!"

Xu Kaiwei is a kind of representative, and Zheng Danrui is also a kind.

33号和34号慌忙起身跑进来劝架，外面最近的35、36、37、38等人也围在门口观望情况。

Golden 48 hours.

Mount hates, shouldn't...

Coupled with the process of communication and decision-making, less than half of the golden time has been used up.

Philip shifted subconsciously, and the ashtray hit his forehead, causing blood to flow instantly.

The doctors and nurses prepared in advance yesterday really played a role at this time. They quickly checked Philip's injuries, and enthusiastically helped stop the bleeding, apply medicine and tie bandages.

"President Fang, I am the representative of sincerity..."

Fang Zhuo passed the lounge lightly, and saw that it was still full of people, even more people than before.

The anger in Mount's heart disappeared half after seeing the well-known British Man Group in line behind him, and when he saw that the later Carlyle Group had no seats and had to stand outside and wait, suddenly there was a feeling in his heart. A kind of rejoicing.

Fang Zhuo was drinking tea while leaning on his desk, he mumbled, and motioned, "Help this Mount next to him check his injuries."

Take a number?

"Why are you shorting Yike?"

Smith was on the 19th, and when he was about to arrive, he suddenly said: "What can we say? What can we say?"

Goldman Sachs swallowed up the DR Fund's money, and the shorting of securities lending became naked shorting. The losses that were originally hoped to be controlled are now likely to directly lead to bankruptcy. This is the reason why Mount hates to do it.

Mount's throat moved, and he couldn't speak when he saw the darkness.

The workload of these two days may still be relatively large. For those who come to the company today, they call the weekend before Monday in the US time the golden 48 hours for negotiation.

I wanted to make a fortune, but I didn't expect to end up like this.

"I don't know where it's all related, it's very annoying." Fang Zhuo shook his head, and repeated the speech of Goldman Sachs Xu Kaiwei's visit in the afternoon.

At that time, he will be in charge, regardless of external factors and wind and rain, first finish the chapter and then talk about other things. Anyway, it is just a small decision, and with Apple by his side, he can argue no matter what.

Mount has a big regret and a big hatred.

"Is Paulson here?" Fang Zhuo shrugged, "You can either call here or go to the hospital, you choose."

There are people behind the funds, and there are some friendships that appear here and there without knowing it.

There are only three people in the President Office of Hang Lung 23.

"How much can the stock price rise on Monday?" Su Wei saw various predictions today, and the difference was huge.

However, at this moment, he can only hope that his presence will add even the slightest effect to the actions of the agencies.

Then, he said again: "Xiao Liu, let someone send Philip to the hospital and take another picture."

It was okay to be unclear earlier, but now it is very clear, so we have to refer to the opinions of customers.

She knew that not only this time, but also the second time.

Smith shook his head and said nothing.

He still remembered why he came here this time, and even though there was some unexpected situation, he was still able to deal with it tenaciously.

Su Wei looked at Mr. Fang and cleared his throat seriously before calling.

"Why should I?"

Also, Goldman Sachs will stop when it comes up!

The two quickly wrestled together.

"Take a number, Mount." The acquainted manager Smith, who once had a drink in New York, said, "Why are you here so late? You have to be at the end of the line."

In the evening, amidst the constant phone calls, I had dinner with my parents intermittently, and after reading two reports from Bingxin, Su Wei, the president of e-buy, returned home after the high-level meeting.

There are two types of investigations. The informal ones are collecting information and interviewing relevant personnel, and the formal ones are subpoenas or court orders.

He was just about to talk about the situation on his floor when another call came from his cell phone.

Some were eating silently, some had heavy faces, and some had stared straight.

Although there was plenty of time to fall asleep on the international flight, Mount hardly closed his eyes during the journey. Whenever he closed his eyes, he heard sighs from his partners, scolding from clients, and endless remorse.

Fang Zhuo interrupted in surprise: "Brother Zheng? What do you mean? Is that what I understand? Finish your sentence!"

Fang Zhuo's unbearable heart was limited, and he kept walking, forgetting the call provoked by his own words.

This makes the short sellers of small and medium-sized institutions feel sad.

"Institutions are looking for an explanation, and the SEC will definitely respond before the market opens on Monday. Now we only need to see whether it is an informal investigation or a formal investigation to know the attitude behind it."

Su Wei asked after listening: "It seems that many people want to work hard in the prime time before the opening, so you really don't want to talk about it?"

It was his half-brother Zheng Danrui who called.

He added: "Besides, the matter is on the table. Now it's not just me who knows the profit, and it's not just me who decides whether to accept the profit."

Mount regretted that he should not have listened to Mr. Fang's warning.

"In fact, since he came to power, I have been busy with sports, and the other is that I have been fading away. The friendship before the ascension does not need to be put on the outside. After all, he hates me and hates me."

"President Fang definitely doesn't want to read the report of our small e-buy company right now, I have to put the documents in your bag first." Su Wei picked out two documents that were specially brought back, and said what she had learned today, "You definitely don't know , There were a lot of people coming to the company this afternoon, and some people went to the wrong floor and went directly to the 22nd floor to meditate."

"The institutions are definitely working hard, and they are looking to the SEC's order." Fang Zhuo said, "It's not easy for Xiao Ao to intervene directly this time. The institutions may also consider my friendship with him, but Not paying too much attention to it.”

Mount only heard half of it, and rushed forward full of hatred without hesitation.

"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang!" Zheng Danrui said helplessly, "I didn't say anything, but someone wanted to invite you to dinner. Forget it, let me push it away for you."

"Brother Zheng, in fact, when I was in New York, a domestic bank called me and provided me with funds. In my heart, I can't tell what it's like." Fang Zhuo said with emotion, "When I come back today, I just want to rest and recuperate. Afterwards, I went to the city to talk about the new plan of our Yike company. However, since it landed, there has been an endless stream of calls on my mobile phone. What surprised me the most is that in addition to foreign calls, there are also many domestic calls that have been entrusted to come to find I'm talking about stocks."

"Push it off first, the matter hasn't settled yet." Fang Zhuo said without any hesitation, "It's just that this time the dust has settled, and it will blow up again at some point. There are many things to say."

She continued: "Another one heard that he was going to jump off a building? I was in a meeting, and the meeting room became chaotic, and everyone wanted to watch the excitement."

Absolutely illegal!
He had to sigh: "Why is it you again, Goldman Sachs."

Liu Zonghong nodded silently, thinking about the polite refusal that would not offend others.

Holding the phone, Fang Zhuo said to Su Wei in a little surprise: "I didn't expect him to be a lobbyist too, wait a minute."

"Take a number, take a number." Philip held his forehead, "I'm going to the lounge first, I'm bleeding again!"

"Hello, register here first. Go straight ahead and turn left to the President's Office. You can get a number first, and then wait outside or go to the lounge." The front desk of Yike welcomes another new friend in English with ease.

When Mr. No. 67 disappeared, Fang Zhuo raised his wrist to check the time, and without closing the door, he stopped at the door of the President's Office, and asked three simple questions to the group of big and small short sellers.

31 walked out of the office.

Mount, the fund manager of the hedge fund Dollar River Partners, was not the first group of people to fly to Shanghai. He was almost the third group to take the flight and decided to meet, pay a visit, and plead with Mr. Fang's short sellers.

Zheng Danrui talked about the healthy development of the company and just ended the call.

"I really like this name more and more, next time I will write it and hang it in the office." Fang Zhuo said solemnly.

"Brother Zheng." Fang Zhuo called the person on the other end of the phone.

A key wind direction in these two days is the implementation of this level of investigation.

"There are still people who want to threaten me and Yi Ke." Fang Zhuo said with a smile, "I'll just sit here and not go anywhere. Let's see how Yi Ke dies and how you guys die first."

Outside the CEO's office, it's like a funeral exam.

　Thank you for the reward from the lord who "brings a long sword and holds Qin Gong's head to leave without punishment".

　　Securities lending has become a naked short sale, which is a real thing that both Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch have done.
