Future chat group

After the four Nicks agreed, the staff of Thunder Investment began to establish a simple channel, such as obtaining quotations and market transactions of CDS and other securities from several large institutions.

This aspect of work is actually the area that Su Yiwen is responsible for. It just so happens that he can use this matter to train his troops first and prepare for future channel docking.

On the 25th, Sunday, many people at Thunder Investment were asked to work overtime. The Information Technology Department, Investment Analysis Department, and Fixed Income Department were the hardest hit areas, and almost all department leaders were called back by the company.

But everyone didn’t feel that way. After all, in the financial industry, it would be strange not to work overtime, and working overtime is normal.

According to Lei Hao's request and Su Yiwen's arrangement, everyone worked hard to establish a temporary platform for the command and use of Lei Hao alone.

In the conference room of the fund investment department, Sun Keyi, Tao Liyu and their teams were already present, and Leo, Yu Rong, Xia Yibei, and Xiang Yongze had also just arrived from Yangcheng.

Regarding Lei Hao's approach of calling everyone together, several fund investment teams had no complaints, some were just curious.

Such a big battle...What exactly does Lei Hao want to do?

"I want to short the euro, European stock markets... long gold futures, and buy CDS at the right price..."

Standing at the main seat in the conference room, looking at this group of elites in the securities investment field, Lei Hao felt a sense of satisfaction and pride in his heart.

All of you here are unique talents in the financial industry, but they also have another identity, and that is Lei Hao's team and supporters.

The various departments of Lei Hao Investment and the field of securities investment are Lei Hao’s basic market, here it is! He can keep his word, everyone will surround him, and everyone will obey his orders.

But when Lei Hao said those words, the group of people opened their mouths slightly, and their eyes were full of confusion and horror.

"European market? Aren't we always not involved?" Leo was the first to react and muttered: "Just analyzing the impact of the external market is a consistent practice of Thunder Investment."

"It is difficult for mainland funds to connect with those markets." Yu Rong expressed concerns and also raised practical issues.

"HSBC, Standard Chartered, Prudential, and Ketak will provide us with channels and help. I am going to pledge the assets on the mainland and Hong Kong Island and borrow funds from them first." Lei Hao answered Yu Rong if.

"The cost of doing this is too high." Xia Yibei expressed his objection: "We can withdraw the funds within a week, just one week!"

"It's too slow, and... the cost of drawing is not necessarily less than lending." Lei Hao shook his head and said: "Of course, the mainland can reduce positions and withdraw funds. The National Day is one week short, and I don't want to put all the funds there. Stay still, Leo, you are responsible for this aspect."

"OK, how much do you need?" Leo shrugged his shoulders and asked with excitement in his eyes.

"Close the position at the appropriate price." Lei Hao smiled and said to Leo what the latter expected: "I want as much money as I have."

"Great, Lei, I like your approach." Leo became energetic.

Seeing that Lei Hao had begun to prepare funds, the others hesitated and decided to put aside their objections and began to draw various conclusions based on the analysis during this period.

In the end, everyone had a big headache.

The European debt crisis has been going on for several years, and now it's coming to an end. Does Thunder Investment want to get involved? Easier said than done.

"Do we still have to bypass risk control?" Xiang Yongze lit a cigarette a little irritably and asked, "The money of customers on the mainland should not be used."

"I have asked the company to ask for written authorization from investors." Lei Hao replied.

Mainland China's funds are supervised by the Mainland China Banking Regulatory Commission. It is not impossible for Lei Hao to withdraw them, but again, he not only needs to find a good channel, but also needs to obtain written authorization and skirt around the edges.

Moreover, Lei Hao expected that there would not be all authorizations, so the funds he could mobilize would be reduced, but it didn't matter... After the contract was completed, those who didn't follow up, just let them wait and see.

In general, Lei Hao can definitely mobilize Thunder Investment's own funds. Including the part allowed by customers, the funds he can mobilize are almost 200 million US dollars, which is about 180 million euros.

Including the credit lines given by several institutions, Lei Hao can control 250 million to 300 million euros.

It seems like a lot, but it should be noted that the words that came out of Lei Hao's mouth can be summarized as: "I want to invest in most of the securities market."

What I want from the three stock markets of Britain, Germany and France is a little bit for the Euro exchange rate, a little bit for gold there, a little bit for CDS, a little bit for futures and options... Damn it, I may not have enough money.

Not only is there not enough, but there are also restrictions in many places, such as leverage, for example, customer funds cannot be used in certain places, and credit lines cannot be used in certain places. These all need to be considered.

That's why Lei Hao called this group of people over, because he definitely couldn't handle such a huge workload alone.

"All funds can be used on Hong Kong Island." Tao Liyu said: "And Hong Kong Island has one of the four largest gold markets in the world. If we give up multilateral arbitrage, a lot of funds can be accommodated here."

"I am restricted by the contract and cannot go short or long unilaterally, but there is room for change in some places." Sun Keyi said with a wry smile: "Fortunately, the funds occupied by me are not much, only one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars."

Even if it is 200 million Hong Kong dollars, calculated according to the exchange rate, it is 23 million euros, which is really not a large proportion. Moreover, the funds belonging to Thunder Investment in quantitative hedge funds are relatively flexible. Not only can they be withdrawn and used, they can also be used as credit lines. of collateral.

That's why Sun Keyi felt that he didn't have much room to perform at this stage of his work.

Lei Hao doesn't need Sun Keyi to perform too much. The contract of the quantitative hedge fund is destined to not make huge profits, but again, the positions can be used for mutual borrowing and lending with the company. He is even ready to bypass supervision. , you can still use it even if there is no quota.

Anyway... Lei Hao's actions this time seemed to outsiders to be a gamble. He gathered everything he could stake, and it was obvious what he wanted to do. Several small violations were innocuous.

If he wins, Lei Hao doesn't need to worry about the nonsense from the regulatory authorities. At most, he will have someone come out to top the tank and pay a fine.

If he loses, Lei Hao doesn't have to worry about this little thing, because he will face a situation where he will be defeated thousands of miles away. The difference between having one more regulatory agency to increase his presence is really not big.
