Chapter 627 [The crash of the euro caused by a dinner party]
April 9, around 19:50 pm.
On the third floor of the living area of the Science and Technology Complex Building, the entire floor here is dedicated to the banquet hall. At this moment, a private dinner initiated by Luo Sheng as the host will be about ten minutes away.
At the entrance of the main entrance, luxury business drivers drove in. All the foreign faces walked out of the car, dressed very gentlemen, and at first glance, their cultivation was impeccable. This is probably the case with the so-called elites in the upper class.
These people are all top hedge players from Wall Street.
...
Banquet scene.
"I'm going to be congratulate you, but I still want to say, congratulations to you, Mr. Watson, who successfully sat on the board of Goldman Sachs." Luo Sheng stood quietly in his pants pocket and holding a goblet in the other hand, and the one who was talking to him was Goldman Sachs director Paul Watson.
"To be honest, Mr. Luo, it should be me who should say thanks, otherwise I would not have been on the board of directors so smoothly." Paul Watson said with a sincere look, but that was the case.
Luo Sheng also expressed his disclaimer. Paul Watson rose all the way by being responsible for Goldman Sachs' business of Bluestar Technology. Goldman Sachs made a lot of money because of Bluestar Technology.
It should be that both parties to the transaction get the returns they want.
"Next time you come to New York, please be sure to notify me, I will receive you with the highest regulations." Paul Watson added that the current harmonious scene was so harmonious that those who did not know would not think of the previous grudges and revenge between the two sides, but instead felt that they were the closest and cooperative partners.
Both sides have a tacit understanding and do not mention the grudges of the past, and have a sense of awareness of not being able to blame the past and continuing the past.
"Haha, I can imagine that the reception specifications will definitely be unforgettable for me for my life. I will be fully prepared if I go." Luo Sheng said with a smile, and Paul Watson also smiled.
They are all talking slander, and it seems like a harmonious scene, but in fact they are all fighting in secret.
“Hi, mr.luo!”
Hearing someone calling his name, Luo Shengxun looked over and saw a foreigner wearing glasses coming. He was an old friend, John Paulson, the founder of Paulson's hedge fund, and immediately responded: "Long time no see old guy. I heard you want to start a private equity investment? Take one of me."
After saying that, he invited the cup to show off and started to exchange greetings and chat. Everyone who came here was all human spirits.
At around 20:00, everything that should be coming has come and the dinner has officially begun. However, eating, drinking, having fun and having dinner is definitely not the theme of tonight, but it is just for this reason.
There are not many people, only fifteen, but each of them is a top hedge leader in the investment industry.
For example, James Simmons of the Renaissance, Philip Falco of Pioneer Capital, Ken Griffin of Castle Investment, etc. These big guys are much higher than Big A's hot money tycoons, both in terms of investment philosophy and investment volume.
Soon, everyone gradually got to the point while eating, drinking, and commercial bragging.
Paulson took the lead in pointing out the topic: "The current bad economic and debt problems of countries in the United States are no longer enough to support the current trend of the euro. The euro should fall to a price equal to the US dollar."
Paul Watson immediately looked at Luo Sheng and asked tentatively: "Mr. Luo, what do you think of Britain's referendum in June?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Luo Sheng in unison, and the latter smiled and said, "Well... it's hard to describe it, but everyone on earth knows that the British will never suffer any losses in terms of running fast. It can not make any profit, but it will definitely not lose. It is deeply the essence of hedging."
"Hahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter, but fortunately there were no British people at today's dinner.
A joke was made, the participants present had already heard from Luo Sheng's tone that he had revealed his unoptimistic view on the future of Yuzhou.
Paulson immediately watched Luo Sheng straight to the point and said: "Old friend, we want to snipe the euro, but this is difficult, but if you get your support, the power of the bears will definitely crush, so in a sense, your attitude will determine the future trend of the euro."
If Luo Sheng supports it, the bears present really don’t know how they lose. This time, there will be no behind-the-scenes trader who is "slipping the vagina" behind the scenes, right?
The last time I lost a crushing defeat was because I was defeated by Luo Sheng's "slim legs", and now I directly turned Luo Sheng into an ally.
How to lose?
Finally, Luo Sheng said concisely: "You go and do destruction, I won't participate. I choose to be the savior of Yuzhou."
Paulson, Paul Watson and others looked at each other in a quiet moment. After a while, Paulson turned to Luo Sheng again, and raised his glass with a strong smile: "Agree!"
The other hedge bosses also silently invited the cup with smiles, and the action was agreed.
It is so simple to reach a consensus, without any hesitation. It saves a lot of time to deal with smart people.
They are not afraid that Luo Sheng will underestimate them this time, not because of promises or contracts, but because of the clear interests themselves. Paulson knows that Luo Sheng is now fighting with the euro zone and needs to beat the people in the country to beg him, so he wants to play the savior, which is what he wants.
As for what the big guys on Wall Street want, they have always wanted to be very dedicated and have never changed their minds - profits.
Then someone has to ravage the continent, right?
There is no doubt that Paulson and his group of people all took their own needs. The bears sniped the euro and made profits. Luo Sheng finally arrived at Yuzhou as a savior. Most of the money he had was investor money, and Wall Street also had interests, including Yuzhou's local capital.
Sniping the euro to make a profit, Luo Sheng made a plan to make a profit, win-win, win twice, why don’t Paulson and the others do it?
It is also in the interests of North America to crack down on the euro, and driven by common interests, mortal enemies can temporarily reconcile.
There is no clear statement of love and hate in the adult world, only transactions.
Luo Sheng can also get what he wants in this transaction. He definitely doesn’t have to pay the ticket. Even the people who beat the city are asking him for it, but they dare to issue the ticket?
The market of Yuzhou will be able to stabilize and not make any mistakes within the next five years. By the way, the amsl company, semiconductor industry and Yuzhou will be solved. This market has been solved.
The sparks of the dinner coincided with the trend of the euro. A record of 70,000 short-Europe futures contracts were created in today's dinner.
On the third day after the dinner, the euro suffered a large sell-off, and the euro's exchange rate against the US dollar fell below 1.36, falling 126 basis points.
A dinner triggered a plunge in the euro.
While the euro was shorted, Paulson, who returned to New York, began to write articles to short the euro and made public remarks in a warning tone: If the beating man does not solve his financial problems, the fate of the euro will collapse.
In the month after the dinner, the size of short positions in the euro that had been gambled high, which had fallen in the euro, grew rapidly by 120% from US$8 billion to US$17.6 billion.
This time the euro's plunge, Wall Street's hedge bosses have a good reason to be bearish on the euro. The euro has had too many negative news recently. The British Isle is about to leave the EU, Hiib investment bank lowered its credit rating, the S&P index also lowered its rating, etc.
Short institutions alone are not enough to cause the euro to plummet because the euro's daily trading volume is very large.
The real reason is that many people believe Paulson's bearish view of the euro, and Luo Sheng's attitude has allowed more short parties to join the ranks of shorting the euro, thereby accelerating the decline of the euro.
The most important thing is that Luo Sheng did not end in person. His size is too terrifying. If he ends up sniping the euro, the euro zone economy will inevitably collapse.
Even Luo Sheng himself was not sure that he would not be able to end the game if he had a big blow. He would be happy to hit him hard, but he would be in trouble if he couldn't take it back. This was not in his initial interest.
Luo Sheng didn't and didn't plan to snipe the euro, but the people in the beating Zhou didn't know that he didn't plan to snipe the euro, and he was even more frightened. Luo Sheng didn't have the euro yet, so what would happen if he ended?
As May entered, Yuzhou couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly sent someone to find Luo Sheng to start the negotiations as soon as possible.
Hurry up and let those damn short institutions collect their magical powers. If this continues, the European land will be ruined.
They know that Luo Sheng has the influence and strength to prevent the institution shorting the euro because he holds trillions of dollars in liquidity. If the short institutions do not withdraw, as long as Luo Sheng stands out and pulls a handful of the euro, he can beat the shorts.
