Chapter 948 Jiangshan superior
"I see!"
After listening to Jamie Dimon's words in silence, Zhong Shi just said something softly and hung up the phone.
What is strange to Zhong Shi is that he and Jamie Dimon don't have much close friendship, so why the other party called for no reason. After listening to the whole phone call, he immediately understood that this was killing someone with a borrowed knife.
Although it is said that Jamie Dimon has bad intentions, it is difficult for Zhong Shi to refuse the olive branch delivered by the other party. It is rare for a giant commercial bank to be in crisis for many years, and Tianyu Fund will never miss such an excellent opportunity.
"What are you going to do?"
After hearing the news, Jiang Shan was very excited, and asked Zhong Shi again and again, "It seems that they are in big trouble because of the lawsuits, and they want to earn more profits by expanding high-risk and high-yield derivatives transactions. The news from JP Morgan is a signal that the traditional deposit and loan business has long been unable to meet the possibility of profit growth in Deutsche. Originally, their fixed income business accounted for about 30% of the total assets, and now it seems that this proportion may be further expanded. "
Since the news of Deutsche Bank’s fraudulent accounts broke out, Jiang Shan has been buried in the work of studying this commercial banking giant, so now all kinds of data can be easily obtained.
Zhong Shi did not forget the humiliation he received at the headquarters of Deutsche Bank, nor did Jiang Shan.
"To deal with such a behemoth, we must be cautious."
Zhong Shi lay back on his executive chair, eyes slightly closed, tapped his fingers on the table unhurriedly, and said slowly after a while, "Since 2007, the stock price of Deutsche Bank has entered a downward channel. It has fallen by at least 40% so far. It can be said that this trend accurately reflects the market’s concerns about its profit prospects. However, even today, Deutsche Bank has not exposed too many negative problems, and the market will not think that such a There will be crises in the banks, so at least for the time being, it will be difficult for us to take advantage of them."
"Zhong Sheng, what do you mean?"
Savoring Zhong Shi's words carefully, Jiang Shan's expression froze suddenly, and he stammered after a while before saying, "You...you're not going to knock it down, are you?"
Although Deutsche Bank has only tens of billions of euros in net assets on the books, Mengyi does not seem to be a very outstanding company. But its total assets have reached 1.6 trillion euros, and its total debt has reached 1.5 trillion euros. These figures mean that the funds they can use far exceed the size of their net assets.
If such a company goes bankrupt, the impact will not only be limited to Germany or Europe, but will affect the global financial industry and even the world economy.
Just such a company, Zhong Shi subconsciously wants to completely destroy it, how can this not surprise Jiang Shan?
“No company can exist forever, no matter how big its assets are, how old it is, or how deep its background is.”
Zhong Shi did not answer directly, but said leisurely, "Lehmann Brothers, who have survived for a hundred years, is a lesson from the past. Although Deutsche Bank is currently very large, it is not without weaknesses. Just like now, there are important decisions to make." Mistakes, and within a few years they'll go into decline, and eventual ruin isn't out of the question."
"The truth is correct, but I always feel that it is impossible for us to accomplish such a thing now!"
Jiang Shan was dumbfounded, and after a while he smiled wryly and shook his head, "I have to say, I never thought about this. At least from this point of view, I am far inferior to you."
"No, you won't always be inferior to me."
Zhong Shi sat up straight suddenly, looked at Jiang Shan with burning eyes, and said, "I plan to let you take charge of the attack on Deutsche Bank, are you confident?"
"what?"
Although he has always longed for the top position, Jiang Shan knows that it is more important to learn more from Zhong Shi during this period, so he has not been responsible for any major cases. Hearing the news suddenly, he jumped up in surprise, his face full of disbelief, "I... I'll be in charge of the whole thing?"
"good!"
Seemingly anticipating Jiang Shan's reaction, Zhong Shi smiled slightly, and pressed his palms down, signaling that the other party should not be so excited, "You have been with me for a while, and you must have a certain understanding of my techniques. I think it's time for you to take the lead. And the most important thing is that this matter does not need to involve the judgment of the macro economy, it is just a simple sniper operation. Success is good, and if it fails, there is no loss. It will be too big, so it’s just for you to practice your hands.”
Launching a sniper operation against Deutsche Bank may be a big deal for the hedge fund industry all over the world. But in Zhong Shi's eyes, it was nothing more than an unimportant matter.
"me…"
Jiang Shan stammered for a while, unable to utter a word.
At this time, he was very conflicted. On the one hand, facing such an opportunity, he repeatedly told himself not to miss it, but on the other hand, he kept reminding himself that if he messed up, the consequences would be very serious, and he might lose a lot of money. So he is very contradictory, and it is difficult to choose for a while.
"In this world, there are not many things worthy of my pursuit..."
Watching Jiang Shan thinking silently, Zhong Shi took out a cigarette from his pocket, took a deep breath and said leisurely, "So I plan to give the opportunity to you young people. Even if there is a loss, it doesn't matter, if you earn it back Don’t worry about it. Although I have always trained you as a public fund manager, in this world where the law of the jungle prevails, even if you want to be a sheep, you must have the viciousness of a wolf, otherwise you will not survive at all. come down."
"So far, what you have seen is my fierce side, including the process of dealing with the US government, the German government and other leaders. These experiences will help you avoid the dangerous side of the world in the future. But after these destructions, the market Order will be restored, and we will have to change the style in time to adapt to future developments."
"There are not many opponents in this world anymore. If we continue like this, one day in the future, we will become the targets of others. Instead of waiting for that day to come, it is better to actively change now. Do you think I'm right?"
"Are you planning to retire?"
Zhong Shi’s words shocked Jiang Shan, and he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Without you, Tianyu Fund would lose its backbone, and it would be over soon.”
Originally, Jiang Shan was only thinking about whether he would accept such an opportunity, but after hearing Zhong Shi’s confession, he vaguely felt that Zhong Shi had the idea of retreating bravely, and this thought made him shudder.
Jiang Shan knows a little about Zhong Shi's private life. Recently, Zhong Shi seems to be in a relationship with the female celebrity named Luo Xiner. Of course, the news is limited to a certain extent, and not many people know about it. Jiang Shan believes that the reason why Zhong Shi has such decadent thoughts may be related to his emotional state.
"That's why you need to take over as soon as possible!"
Looking at Jiang Shan's flickering eyes, Zhong Shi grinned and said nonchalantly, "I have no plans to retire, even though I could have retired a long time ago. But now I am thinking about transformation, because I realize that Tianyu Fund is getting more and more I will become a threat to the financial markets of various countries. I will not retire until I find a fully qualified successor. I will now entrust you with the matter of Deutsche Bank, just to see how much you have learned from me. .If you can submit a satisfactory answer sheet, then the transformation of our entire fund will be accelerated, otherwise I will have to work hard for a while."
"This matter, I promise!"
I don’t know why, Jiangshan suddenly burst into inexplicable courage, and immediately said without thinking, “Isn’t it just a Deutsche Bank, I’d like to see what’s so great about it.”
Of course, after the rhetoric was finished, he regretted it a little. It's just that the words have already been spoken, even if you regret it, it won't help.
"Tell me about your thinking."
Zhong Shi stared blankly at Jiang Shan for a while, and finally smiled with satisfaction, "Now is the time to see how much you have learned."
At this moment, Jiang Shan felt cheated. Zhong Shi behaved like a person on the verge of death before, and his words were full of despair. But the moment he responded, Zhong Shi returned to his normal state, and he was still the existence that stood tall and looked down upon all living beings.
"Derivatives Market!"
Jiang Shan thought for a while, and gave an answer that made Zhong Shi look happy, "Since Deutsche Bank is so impatient to expand their derivatives positions, risk management and professionals may not be able to keep up in the short term. In that case we have a good chance of hitting them hard."
"Okay, five billion dollars will be all your money!"
Zhong Shi nodded approvingly, gave a number that made Jiang Shan tongue-tied, and then said, "Of course you will not be alone in this whole matter, after all, this number is still a little less, and I plan to find some for you." assistant."
After speaking, he picked up the phone.
"not…"
Jiang Shan was trembling with excitement, and couldn't help thinking about what kind of assistant Zhong Shi would find for him. Of course, what he hopes most is those few American hedge fund bosses. It would be great if he could cooperate with them.
As expected, he did not disappoint him. After Zhong Shi picked up the phone, the first person found John Paulson, "John, I have an action. I wonder if you are interested?"
"Of course I'm interested!"
John Paulson on the other end of the phone agreed without hesitation even though he was confused.
