Rebirth of the Powerful

Chapter 409 Soros' Concerns

George Soros stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, overlooking Central Park. If Manhattan is a giant made of steel, concrete and glass, then Central Park makes it alive and lively.In such a long and narrow park about seven or eight kilometers long and one kilometer wide, the undulating hills, the green grassland and the lush forest complement each other.

What came into his eyes were several lakes like huge pearls and a river like a ribbon. The river was densely covered with black boulders, and flocks of birds like black dots in the lake sometimes flew into the jungle, and sometimes floated from the sky. To; in the well-equipped sports field, teenagers of various skin colors in bright costumes are running and cheering, playing baseball, tennis, etc.; Square dancing, social dancing...

However, the leisurely crowd and beautiful delicacy in front of him did not make this financial predator feel much better.These days, he has been struggling with shorting the British pound.And today, it was time for him to find answers and unravel the mysteries.After the Plaza Accord, the appreciation of the yen created a huge economic bubble, and then the bubble burst into recession. Soros predicted this in advance, so he put all his funds in the US stock market in 1987. Unexpectedly, the US stock market was ahead of the Japanese stock market There was a crash. In the US stock market crash in 1987, Soros lost 4 to 6 million US dollars. Although the Quantum Fund was not liquidated, it was also severely damaged.

Shorting the British pound is the only chance for Quantum Fund to turn around.

He has been paying attention to the monetary system since three years ago and has done a lot of homework. He thinks it is safe to short the pound.However, on the day he decided to act, there was a large sell order of 10 billion pounds in the international exchange market for the pound.After some investigation, Soros knew that this was done by a macro international hedge fund called "Hand of God".

This is what made Soros hesitate.

Because the core of his investment theory is the "reflexive theory". To put it bluntly, it is to take advantage of the market's mistakes. When everyone mistakenly believes that the pound should remain strong, Soros found that the pound should remain weak and use the system to stimulate exports. Use low interest rates to ensure the vitality of the economy and reduce unemployment.

However, to his surprise, a company discovered the mistakes of the Bank of England and the British government before him.If everyone thinks that Britain is wrong, is it still wrong?

Soros entered a state of what could be called mystical philosophical thinking, a painful thought that bewildered him.Therefore, he originally planned to invest 100 billion U.S. dollars to short the British pound. So far, he has only invested 50 billion U.S. dollars.

"Mr. Soros, it's time for you to meet with the Hand of God International Macro Hedge Fund." Soros' assistant walked to his side and reminded him in a low voice.

"Well, thank you, Jesse." Soros said absently.But he turned around, walked out of the office, and 10 minutes later, he appeared in a quiet coffee shop in Central Park, where he sat in a window seat.

"Sir, Ms. Hu and Mr. Xia from the Hand of God are already on their way." The assistant answered a phone call, walked over, and whispered in his ear.

"Oh, Jesse, thank you. I'm so sorry to take up your time. I think your beautiful girlfriend will blame me if I don't let you go back on this wonderful weekend night." Soros is not without humor.

Jesse smiled, nodded and left.From the bottom of his heart, he admired the most internationally renowned and legendary financial crocodile in history. In addition to his excellent investment vision with almost no mistakes, what he admired more was his courage and willpower. In 1987, the United States The losses caused by the stock market crash did not discourage him, but made him more motivated.But, what is this "hand of God"?Mr. Soros hasn't smiled once since he heard the name.

"Hi. Mr. Soros, nice to meet you." Standing opposite Soros was a strange combination, a beautiful and young oriental woman.Looking at her age, she should be only 27 or [-] years old, and behind her is a teenager wearing a T-shirt, who is even younger, probably only [-] or [-] years old. This reminds Soros of his grandson who likes the American Major League Baseball.

Soros raised his wrist and glanced at the world-limited edition of the rare and precious Tyrodner handmade watch. The pointer was steadily pointing to six o'clock. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you Miss Hu?"

Hu Shuwen nodded with a smile.Soros interlocked his fingers, looked at Hu Shuwen with a smile, and asked, "If I remember correctly, there is another Mr. Xia, who is the chairman of the hedge fund, and you are the executive chairman."

"Hello, Mr. Soros. I am Xia Xiaoluo who made an appointment with you." Xia Xiaoluo smiled and stretched out her right hand.

……

Soros was stunned for a long time, and the typical Jewish face covered with age spots showed a hint of decadence.He has paid attention to the actions of the Hand of God recently, and the Hand of God is now the leading wolf of those famous financial giants on Wall Street, taking the lead, leading a group of financial predators who choose to eat people to face the Bank of England. The fat but sluggish Bank of England waged the most egregious currency war ever.The huge amount of funds used, the aggressive attack style, the superb means, and the cleverness of the strategy all made him feel amazed.To put it bluntly, I, a speculator known as a financial genius, actually acted as a follower of the hand of God.

And the chairman of such an excellent hedge fund turned out to be such a young boy. In addition to being shocked, he also felt a kind of hero's twilight emotion. Is he really old?

"Mr. Soros, can we sit down?" Xia Xiaoluo's English is not very good, he vowed to watch more American love action movies in the future and learn English well.

"Oh. Please sit down, please sit down. I'm just surprised that you are such a young gentleman." Soros also realized his impoliteness, nodded and stood up, and made a gesture of please sit down.

"Thank you." Xia Xiaoluo helped Hu Shuwen open the chair and let Hu Shuwen go in first, then sat down facing Soros.

This is the first time that Xia Xiaoluo has been with Soros at such a close distance. Soros is older than imagined, with brown age spots on his face and hands, and his hair is between golden and gray. Behind the exaggerated glasses, those eyes are full of wisdom.

In the previous life, Xia Xiaoluo could only see the voice of this financial tycoon from various investment forums around the world in the financial section of the portal website, but in this life, Xia Xiaoluo can talk to him face to face, but Xia Xiaoluo still There was a little nervousness.

"Mr. Xia, Ms. Hu, what do you need? The Blue Mountain coffee here is very good and authentic. Although it is not in the best St. Andrew area, it is also produced in a rare Portland region." Soros said The silver spoon was stirring slightly in the coffee cup, perhaps because of excitement, his hands trembled a little.

"I don't drink coffee, I only drink tea." Seeing Soros' slightly trembling hands, Xia Xiaoluo was suddenly relieved. In Soros' eyes, she might be the kind of back wave who can push the front wave on the beach.However, his respect for Soros was not less because of this. If he hadn't relied on the advantage of rebirth, he would be far behind Soros by thousands of miles.

"Oh, sorry. I forgot that Chinese people like to drink tea." Soros smiled.He smiled at the waiter and called out, "Beautiful Miss Julian, would you mind getting us two cups of green tea? Thank you."

A blond girl with a ponytail at the bar smiled and said mischievously: "No problem, Mr. Soros, come right away. You are our distinguished guest."

Soros's polite attitude made Xia Xiaoluo very emotional. Such a low-key person who is polite to a waiter, who can imagine that he is a financial tycoon with personal assets of hundreds of millions of dollars?Damn, if you want to talk about pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, you are still an American devil.

After a while, the tea was served.Xia Xiaoluo saw that it was a paper bag made by Lipton Tea.The taste of this kind of tea is much worse than that of China's Biluochun Tieguanyin.However, Lipton tea is the largest tea brand in the world, but it does not belong to China, but to Britain.Sometimes, Xia Xiaoluo thinks that Huaxia's enterprises are really sad. The origin of tea is in China. According to "Shen Nong's Materia Medica", as early as the Warring States Period, the Huaxia nation began to drink tea.However, the largest tea brand is still in the UK.

"Mr. Soros." Xia Xiaoluo stirred the green liquid.Straight to the point: "I want to know, why did you invest so little money when you shorted the British pound? Only $50 billion?"

Soros didn't expect that such a young man would use the American-style direct way of talking, and he was taken aback for a moment.Dao: "Actually, my planned investment is 100 billion US dollars. But, to be honest, the reason why I reduced the investment is because you—the hand of God invested billions of dollars before me, which makes me doubt whether my theory can work. Used in this attack on the pound."

Hu Shuwen made a concise translation on the side. "Oh—" Xia Xiaoluo nodded thoughtfully.Sure enough, the reason why Soros reduced his investment was because of the intervention of himself and the hand of God.He also roughly understood what Soros meant.

Suddenly, Xia Xiaoluo smiled.He smiled and said: "Mr. Soros, if I say something, maybe you will think it is the inherent modesty and hypocrisy of the Chinese people. Let's put it this way, the reason why I attacked the Bank of England is because I was influenced by your reflexive theory." impact. Your decision was not wrong."

Soros was startled suddenly, then he picked up his cup and took a big sip of coffee.After Soros experienced the 1987 U.S. stock market crash and lost $5 million, his proud "reflexive theory" has become a big joke on Wall Street. Unexpectedly, in the far east, that place called China, There is also a young man who regards his reflexive theory as the guiding ideology of his investment.

"Actually, let's put it this way. Just because I saw the Bank of England's mistakes, you don't think that speculators around the world saw the Bank of England's mistakes. Reflexive theory exploits people's prejudices. At least, the British Prime Minister Mr. Major and Chancellor of the Exchequer Lemont is biased against the pound. Yes, their prejudice has always existed, blind confidence in the British economy, and blind confidence in the pound." Xia Xiaoluo smiled and tried to persuade.

This sentence made Soros feel as if he was enlightened, and Xia Xiaoluo got a perfect answer to the question that he had been pondering for many days.He frowned heavily and muttered: "Yes, they do have prejudices, and prejudices have always existed. It doesn't mean that their prejudices will disappear just because you saw their prejudices and mistakes earlier than me."

Xia Xiaoluo didn't speak any more, but slowly sipped the mediocre tea, looking at this financial crocodile.

Soros waved to Julian, and Julian refilled his cup of coffee.Soros bowed his head and thought hard.As if talking to himself, he said: "If more people find out the mistakes of the British government, the speed and strength to return to the equilibrium state will be faster. Then the pound will fall even faster than I expected!"

Suddenly, he raised his head, patted Xia Xiaoluo on the shoulder, and said to Xia Xiaoluo with a smile: "Mr. Xia, you are a financial genius, you are the new generation of financial geniuses on Wall Street!"

"Have you figured it out?" Xia Xiaoluo smiled with satisfaction, and he leaned forward a little. "So, you know what to do?"

"Splitting into the pound, more fierce attack! At least, I want to sell all the 50 billion pounds in my hand! The pound will lose!" Soros' eyes flashed a sharp light.

Xia Xiaoluo knew that his goal had been achieved, and in the near future, the Bank of England would raise the white flag and admit its mistake.

"Yes. I have the same idea as Mr. Soros. In the next few days, God will attack more fiercely. We have increased the leverage ratio to twenty times. In the future, there will be 100 billion pounds worth of pounds to be sold! I Think, even if the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund take action, they will fail. If I don’t expect, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund are now out of ammunition and food, and no one can save the Bank of England!" Xia Xiaoluo His tone was cold and devoid of emotion.

Xia Xiaoluo drank the tea in the cup and said: "Mr. Soros, we should talk about the things after the victory now. I am the chairman of the Hand of God, only a few people know, I hope Mr. Soros Keep it a secret for me, all official activities of the Hand of God are represented by Ms. Hu Shuwen. By the way, she is your alumnus. She also graduated from the London School of Economics. I hope you will support her in the financial field."

Hu Shuwen stood up, stretched out his small hand to shake Soros, and said with a smile: "Senior, please remind me more in the future!"
