Chapter 196 Close and Friendly Contact with Investment Banks
After experiencing the current situation of the stock market at the Stock Exchange, Zhao Donghuai and Chen Hong moved to the Fanling Golf Course. When Ah Hong put on a fashionable and slim sportswear, holding a club and eagerly asking for guidance, Director Zhao was speechless.
, “You still think you’re really playing ball here.”
"I just made an appointment with my friends to discuss business."
It's August 5th, and the stock market crash is getting closer and closer. He has already mobilized 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash flow, and plans to cross the sea to Tokyo. It is still the core team of Pan Asia Group that works.
So who can give him leverage?
If there is no financial group willing to provide funds to open this leverage, then 20 to 30 billion will not make a lot of money.
Zhao Donghuai made an appointment with William, the president of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific, to discuss business and see if Goldman Sachs was willing to use the funds to do things.
He mobilized 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. If Goldman Sachs is willing to do something, then five times the leverage will require more than 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds. The higher the leverage, the more money Goldman Sachs will mobilize.
The famous Goldman Sachs, one of the representatives of Wall Street, of course has branches in major locations around the world. The Asia-Pacific headquarters building is located in Hong Kong. Of course, it also has branches in Tokyo and South Korea.
As for contacting Goldman Sachs, would Goldman Sachs also make a lot of money during the stock market crash? The stock market crash was caused by the U.S. stock market crashing first, and the Tokyo market had not yet opened when North America crashed... Zhao Donghuai has no intention of shorting the U.S. stock index.
After the big crash, the management of Goldman Sachs would be shorting London, Nikkei and the like.
As for finding cooperation with Goldman Sachs, what should I do if Zhao Donghuai’s funds are blocked at a critical moment during the cooperation? This depends on Zhao Donghuai’s personal charm and circle of friends.
Ah Hong smiled and said, "Boss, please teach me. I'll stay up late to learn how to play ball with you..."
Just after Chen Hong humbly accepted Zhao Donghuai's teachings and hit two shots.
William was also sitting in a golf cart and brought a female companion to the golf course under the guidance of the caddy. After getting off the car, William, who was in his 40s, laughed decisively, "Zhao, I really didn't expect to receive your invitation.
It’s such an honor.”
This guy spoke Cantonese, which was far from authentic, so there was no problem in communicating.
Zhao Donghuai smiled and shook hands with William. After polite greetings, it was Director Zhao who took the first shot and hit the ball directly out of sight before starting to walk forward, "William, I want to make the Nikkei Index. Goldman Sachs is willing to provide CFD trading.
Do you need the funds?”
William was shocked, "Buying up? Nikkei has grown crazy enough... I feel that with Zhao's strength, it is impossible to buy up on a large scale with this momentum, right?"
After all, it has increased by more than 12,000 points in more than a year. How dare the Nikkei be bullish on such a large scale? This is Zhao Donghuai, a strongman who has not lost in the foreign exchange market against Wall Street for a year or two.
Just because Zhao Donghuai is optimistic about Microsoft and Oracle, predatory groups on Wall Street quickly recruit think tanks to conduct in-depth research on Microsoft and Oracle, and then grab the meat.
Zhao Donghuai laughed a few times, "I feel that the global bull market that has lasted for so many years may be coming to an end. I am not sure when it will explode, but it should not be beyond the end of the year."
"So, I want to find institutional financing to buy down."
William was deep in thought as he walked, and his expression changed extremely wonderfully. He had had the experience of fighting with the man named Zhao in the foreign exchange market for so long, and he knew that the man named Zhao had unusually ruthless vision and skills in the financial market.
Is he optimistic about the general trend?
Really top financial players can also feel that something is not good. In August, not only the Nikkei may rise or fall hundreds of points a day, fluctuating back and forth, but the Dow Jones Index will occasionally fluctuate by dozens of points.
Who is selling and fluctuating? Of course it is the big money and the rich. How can ordinary leeks have the ability to make the Dow Jones Index drop dozens of points a day? Even if the overall trend is a steady increase, but it fluctuates and drops dozens of points a day, the wealth involved is not small money, at least
Billions of dollars in size.
Silent and not speaking, William just continued walking.
Accompanied by the caddy and waiter, the others walked through a small hillside. More than 20 meters away in front of the hillside, stood two white men. One of them said to William from a distance, "Uncle William, I am going to pay homage to William on behalf of my father."
Say hello and apologize on his behalf."
William woke up and looked blankly at the man in front of him who was talking. He was eighteen or nineteen years old, with brown hair, and looked suspicious and confused. Who are you? Why don’t I recognize you?
When he looked at Zhao Donghuai blankly, Director Zhao smiled and patted William on the shoulder, "That little guy named Jack, his father is Smith, your high school classmate Smith. Didn't Smith cheat on your first love girlfriend after graduating from high school?
I lent you more than 500 knives and haven’t paid them back?”
"Take your money, chase your girlfriend, beat her up and cheat on you..."
"I asked the elite from the FBI to bring his son to Hong Kong Island to apologize to you."
"By the way, Jack is the child of your first girlfriend, but don't tell anyone. In fact, he is not Smith's son. Smith was also cheated and raised a child for others for 19 years..."
"It's pretty messy anyway."
The two sides were still twenty or thirty meters apart. Director Zhao's words in such a low voice would certainly not be heard by the brown-haired Jack in front of him, who still had a reserved and nervous expression on his face.
William, "..."
He fell into a huge circle of confusion and despair. Are you just looking for me to do business and discuss projects? My high school love rival more than 20 years ago, who was also his first love Bai Yueguang, came up to me.
Already?
If it weren't for Zhao Donghuai's explanation, he would have completely forgotten about those people.
Zhao Donghuai waved to the caddy behind him, who immediately ran up to him and opened a briefcase. Director Zhao grabbed a few photos and handed them over, "Speaking of which, you are not at a loss. Look at your first love, and now you are not even 40 years old.
She is a standard aunt, 1.67 meters tall and weighs over 200 pounds..."
William looked broken, "Zhao, we are just talking about business??"
You haven't even started talking about business yet, and you're doing it like this? What a fool.
On the surface, it seems that Zhao Donghuai was helping him vent his anger and stand up for him. That first love was indeed quite unpleasant. His good friend took his money and tried to pry him into a corner...
After all, more than 20 years ago, it was still the early 1960s, and the purchasing power of US$500?
But what the heck, I have forgotten this kind of thing, and the person named Zhao can still investigate and find out that he sent the person to Hong Kong Island without knowing it. So this time I can help him, but what about next time?
After complaining in a broken voice, and looking at the fat aunt in the photo with disgust, William said in disbelief, "The person next to Jack is really the FBI?"
Zhao Donghuai waved, and the FBI man in front quickly ran over with a smile, "Boss, you can give me my orders if I need anything."
Zhao Donghuai smiled and said, "This is Harden, the director of the Chicago FBI."
The supervisor is similar to the Senior Inspector category of the Crime Unit of the Hong Kong Island Police, but don't forget that the FBI is generally higher than the police elsewhere.
Chicago is the hometown of William, the CEO of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific. His wife, children, parents, and a large circle of relatives are all in Chicago. William himself... belongs to a senior wage earner who married into a certain Goldman Sachs family and is the CEO of Asia Pacific.
After hearing Zhao Donghuai's explanation, William felt uncomfortable and awkward. He didn't dare to say anything more, but scolded Harden several times with a dark face.
Harden, "..."
Harden smiled and said nothing, feeling like he was doing it in front of his face. After all, since he knew William's status, he really didn't want to expose himself as a shady FBI agent, but the situation didn't allow it.
The only good thing is that he has also made money in the foreign exchange market of the island country. Even if he is exposed and the worst happens, he quits his job or is fired, as long as the information and evidence in Zhao Sheng's hands are not exposed, he can still live a wealthy life.
What about retirement life?
Retiring in his 40s seems too early, but the money has already enabled him to enjoy the rest of his life richly.
Besides, he is already a supervisor, who wouldn’t keep some connections in the circle?
After Zhao Donghuai waved his hand for Harden to step away, William said with a sad face, "Zhao, this surprise you prepared for me is really too big."
"There won't be any other surprises, right?"
Having said this, he glanced at the pretty white girl who was joking with Chen Hong more than a dozen steps later. She was his private life secretary, a very practical kind.
But don’t forget that he joined the family of a certain Goldman Sachs tycoon to secure his position as CEO of Asia Pacific.
Zhao Donghuai shook his head, "We are friends, how could I harm you? Don't worry, starting from you, including the Asia Pacific Vice President, CFO, Tokyo CEO, etc., I will make appointments one by one."
"The pressure will not be piled on you alone."
"You know Stanley Durwood, right?"
William was no longer sleepy. Yes, how could he not know Stanley Durwood? When Zhao entered AMC Cinemas, Goldman Sachs and other Wall Street consortiums also paid close attention to the business war between the two.
Sitting in the office and receiving a large sniper bullet hundreds of meters away, sitting outside your home when a car explodes, a passing drag racing gang throwing rice fields at your door, etc.
The most outrageous thing is that he sleeps until midnight, is a soldier who fought in the Vietnam War, suffers from PTSD and other serious illnesses, wanders around at night, and is in arrears with a large amount of child support... The prison will not accept the kind of person who will drive a dump truck to you and rush to your villa.
Even if Stanley Durwood belongs to a local snake family in Liwu City, everyone from the official to the community can't deal with all kinds of accidents.
It was not until Stanley's beloved grandson had an accident and was hospitalized that the business war gradually came to an end.
As the president of Goldman Sachs Asia Pacific, William was one of the biggest decision-makers at Goldman Sachs when Wall Street and Zhao Donghuai competed in the foreign exchange market.
After thinking back for a few dozen seconds, William said, "How many do you want to do? When will you do it?"
Zhao Donghuai explained, "I plan to transfer 20 to 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 4 billion U.S. dollars. CFDs will not take up much money from Goldman Sachs."
With a capital of less than 4 billion U.S. dollars, it would only cost more than 16 billion U.S. dollars to pry Goldman Sachs five times. If you open it ten times...
William took a long breath, "Are you betting that the stock market crash will definitely come? The pattern of the Hong Kong stock market crash in 1973? Although I also have a certain hunch that the Nikkei's rise in recent years has been too exaggerated, but it cannot collapse so exaggeratedly.
Bar?"
"The Japanese yen is appreciating greatly, real estate is exploding, and countless good news are piling up."
There is a saying that the island country was the first market to recover from the 1987 stock market crash. After all, the Plaza Accord’s big dividend period is here.
This is an era where people are clamoring to be able to buy all of North America with the money of Tokyo Real Estate.
Zhao Donghuai didn't bother to explain, "Will you do it? Will you accept it?"
William then formally said, "We need to consider and study..."
For a big business worth 10 billion to 20 billion U.S. dollars or more, it is impossible for him as a president to do it just as he says. "We even have to ask the headquarters for approval to see if it will be approved."
To be continued...
