Simon arrived at the Johnston family's estate on the Yarra River outside Melbourne near noon.

The morning call was from Anthony Johnston, but only the two Raymond Johnstons were dining together. During this time, Simon came here more than once as a guest. Janet's parents have treated him as a son-in-law, and the two sides have long since lost their strangeness.

After lunch, Raymond Johnston took Simon to the study.

The two sat down on the sofa by the window in the study. The maid served coffee and left, and Raymond Johnston said straight to the point: "Simon, I know you're busy, so I won't be verbose. You come in this time. , can you bring some more money?"

Simon had roughly guessed the old man's intentions before he came, and nodded cheerfully: "Yes. However, Ray, because of the events of the past few days, I can't see the situation clearly now, and I can't give any guarantees. So, here. It is best to use only the excess funds, not to affect the normal operation of the company, and not to blindly raise funds through loans.”

When Raymond Johnston heard what Simon said, his expression was a little surprised, but then he smiled: "Of course I understand, Simon, I'm still surprised that you can be so sober."

Simon also smiled and said: "The development space in the fields of entertainment, technology and fashion is already very broad. I don't plan to spend too much time on the financial market. This time I just feel that the time is right and I want to raise some funds. It doesn't matter how much, so it's not going to be a big bet."

Raymond Johnston nodded and asked again, "So, how confident are you now?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "There should be no problem with profitability, and the various restrictive measures introduced by the Japanese government after the 87-stock disaster have ensured that the financial market will not experience sharp rises and falls in the short term. Even if the market turns, we can withdraw in time. out."

The Japanese stock market and futures market now have strict price limits, and it is impossible for Simon to replicate the miracle of the 1987 S\u0026P 500 futures on the Nikkei 225 futures. At the same time, these restrictions also mean that if the general market trend changes, investors will not suffer too much loss as long as they exit in time.

Raymond Johnston was very satisfied with the word 'we' that Simon used unknowingly, but he still restrained his expression and said, "It's actually like this, Simon, not only here, but also some The business partner wants to give you some money to help you with the operation.”

Just in the preparatory stage of "Batman", Simon has already felt the strong and deep-rooted influence of the Johnston family in Australia. Some social parties held before and after the Johnston family mansion clearly showed a large net in front of Simon.

If you want to maintain such a huge network of people, besides friendship, interests are obviously the most solid bond.

Simon never had any thoughts of breaking up with Janet, and Janet's attitude was obviously even more so. Therefore, Simon is destined to be bound to the Johnston family. He enjoyed the benefits of this network in the process of preparing for the production of "Batman", and naturally he also needs to help maintain it.

However, just as he was about to nod his head, Simon thought of one more thing and asked, "Ray, how much can this money be?"

Raymond Johnston said: "You will need your consent to count, but it should be no less than A$1.5 billion."

Simon was taken aback.

Being in Australia, Simon knows that the recent exchange rate of the Australian dollar against the US dollar is about 1 to 0.7. 1.5 billion Australian dollars, which is equivalent to 1 billion US dollars, which is already twice the funds Simon had planned to use.

In the late 1980s, there were no tens of billions of hedge funds.

After being hit hard by the 87th stock market crash, Soros’s Quantum Fund has reached a scale of less than $2 billion in the past two years. It is already the top giant in the industry, and more hedge funds are only in the tens of millions.

If Raymond Johnston only took out 3.5 billion Australian dollars, Simon could just nod, but if he jumped to the 1 billion level all of a sudden, he would not dare to take it rashly.

"Too many, Ray, and I'm not going to run a big hedge fund."

Simon's understanding of the financial market is limited to the knowledge accumulated in that operation in 1987 and the macroeconomic trends in his mind in the future.

For small-scale capital operations, he can put all his chips into the field of stock index futures financial derivatives that he can understand according to the information he has. Involving billions of dollars in capital operations, a single financial product certainly cannot carry it, but his understanding of other fields such as foreign exchange and bonds is pitiful, and he has no time to learn these now.

"I probably understand your scruples, Simon," Raymond Johnston said, "but the commander of an army doesn't need to have superb riding skills, and he doesn't need to be a sharpshooter. , just use your own strategy to command thousands of soldiers who are proficient in these subtle skills to win a war. The problem you are facing now is the same, you have a forward-looking and big-picture view that others can't match, as for those specific and small things, You can totally get someone else to do it."

When Simon heard Raymond Johnston's words, he immediately understood where Janet's personality trait of "the best and the best" came from.

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, Simon added: "But, Ray, I can't find anyone who is trustworthy and has enough ability to run this fund in a short time. James can only help me keep an eye on the existing trading team, He doesn't know as much about it as I do."

Raymond Johnston said: "As long as you nod, I can give you

Recommend some people. "

In the 1980s, Australia's economy was still small, but with the background of the Johnston family, it was obviously not a problem to find some reliable financial talents.

Simon leaned on the sofa, thinking constantly in his mind.

To accept this $1 billion in funding, Simon needs to control the size of the capital to reach $1.5 billion.

The bigger the hedge fund, the more difficult it is to achieve a profit margin that is too high, which is a disadvantage of accepting outside funding.

However, although the issue of commissions was not mentioned, it was naturally impossible for Simon to help with such a sum of money. The fees for hedge funds are very high. The convention is 2% management fee and 20% revenue share. With Simon's current appeal, he can even further increase the commission ratio.

In any case, it is a very exciting thing to think about mastering a huge sum of more than one billion dollars in financial markets.

As for success or failure.

To describe it with an argument from memory, the Japanese stock market is now a vent, and pigs can fly as long as they look in the right direction.

What's more, Simon is not afraid of failure in his bones.

Simon also doesn't feel like a layman can't run a hedge fund. There are many laymen in this circle. In contrast, those who are really skilled are all working for others. As Raymond Johnston just said, professional things are left to professional people, and you only need to control the overall situation.

In terms of schedule, the time difference between Melbourne and Tokyo is only one hour. During the filming of "Batman" in Australia, Simon can keep an eye on the movements of the Japanese stock market at any time.

If the Japanese stock market goes as Simon remembers, it won't peak and turn down until the end of the year.

Simon plans to relax for a while after the Batman production, let go of the company as much as possible, or at least not be as busy as it is now. At that time, he can also free up more time to continue to stare at the follow-up operation of the money.

After making up his mind, Simon looked up at Raymond Johnston.

Raymond Johnston didn't disturb Simon's thinking just now, realizing that he had made a decision, the old man put down the coffee cup in his hand and looked over.

After rearranging his thoughts, Simon said: "Ray, our own funds can be combined and operated together. But for outsiders, if they want to join in, my condition is that the profit is within 30%, and I only charge 20%. The revenue is shared as a commission. If the profit exceeds 30%, then, the part between 30% and 100%, the commission ratio is increased to 30%; the part of the profit exceeds 100%, I ask for a 50% commission. Different from other long-term operating Hedge funds, this operation of the Japanese market is a one-off, maybe a year, maybe two years. As soon as this is over, I will choose the right time to liquidate all the funds to investors.”

The image of hedge funds to ordinary people often means huge profits.

But in fact, the goal of most hedge funds is only to outperform the market, and there are very few funds that can exceed 30% annual interest rate.

Raymond Johnston generally understood this, so he was not surprised by Simon's offer, he even took it for granted.

A $1.5 billion fund, let alone a profit of more than 100%, even if it can double in the next year or two, everyone will be satisfied.

In fact, the net profit of the entire Johnston Holding Group last year was less than 200 million Australian dollars, and the annual profit scale of the companies behind the scenes of other investors is probably the same.

With normal investment methods, a return of 20 to 30 percent a year is already very good.

If it can be doubled, in fact, it means that everyone will get their own company's profit for one year in vain. In this case, no one would be reluctant to pay higher commissions.

As for profits exceeding 100%, Raymond Johnston does not have any expectations. He also knows that the larger the hedge fund, the more difficult it is to achieve high profit margins.

There are only so many opportunities in the financial market. Small funds of several million and tens of millions of dollars can double several times a year when they seize the opportunity. Simon's operation in 1987 is probably like this. However, large-scale hedge funds with hundreds of millions of dollars must diversify their investments, which will inevitably lead to profits and losses in investment, and it is impossible to maintain too high profit margins.

Raymond Johnston doesn't actually accept money from outsiders without screening.

For the expected amount of money, except for some special partners, the investment threshold for others was set at 100 million Australian dollars by him. Those who could not afford so much money or could not afford to lose money were directly excluded. of.

Therefore, Simon proposed these conditions, and Raymond Johnston immediately nodded and agreed.

As for Simon's words, which combined the Johnston family's funds with his own, and did not talk about commissions, Raymond Johnston did not reject this kindness. They have already acquiesced to their own family identities, so there is no need to be so polite.

However, it would be better if this kid could marry his daughter as soon as possible.

Worry.

After sending Simon away, Raymond Johnston called the eldest son and asked him to help Simon select some useful people. By the way, after the new year, the younger sister who said she was in a bad mood and gave up her pick came back from Europe. No.

This is also worrying.

The beginning of the year was the busiest time for the financial department, and the company's operations in the past two years were not smooth. As a financial officer, I would not work if I didn't want to work.

If I can really take a vacation and come back with a son-in-law, I will be alone every time.

When my father died, I was talking about my little sister

Things, as they are now, how to explain to their parents in the future.

Thinking about it, he was a little angry, and Raymond Johnston simply found the contact information and dialed to London. It was connected there, and after a few chats, I couldn't hold back the fire. It was strictly ordered that the woman over there must go back to Melbourne next month, or else she would fly to London to catch people.

He also warned repeatedly, but this time he was serious.

Simon returned to the heart of Melbourne, and all major Asian securities and commodity exchanges ended their day of trading.

Affected by the news that Simon Westero is optimistic about the Japanese stock market, the trading volume of stock index futures contracts on the two major exchanges in Singapore and Osaka increased sharply after the opening today, and even many futures types unrelated to Japan have been stimulated.

At the same time, the Japanese stock market is also red across the board today, and a large number of stocks have achieved the daily limit. The Nikkei 225 index rose 613 points throughout the day, accumulating 31,992 points, an increase of 1.9%. In fact, if it weren't for the daily limit of the Japanese stock market, the one-day rise of the broad market index would definitely not stop there.

Nikkei 225 index futures have been launched less than 3 years ago, and the price is far higher than that of many other futures types. Usually, strong institutional investors participate in the trading. However, due to the high growth of the Japanese stock market, the trading volume of Nikkei 225 index futures has increased rapidly in recent years.

Many analysts had predicted that the total trading volume of Nikkei 225 futures would reach 5 million lots this year, involving more than $100 billion. However, because of the turmoil caused by the "Wall Street Journal" article, just today, the trading volume of the Nikkei 225 index futures on the two major exchanges in Singapore and Osaka exceeded the 60,000-hand mark.

Some people follow the trend to build positions, some people go short against the trend, and some people run away.

Simon, who caused the storm, did nothing. He just checked today's settlement statement as soon as the market closed.

After the last Black Monday margin crisis, major exchanges have adopted a daily debt-free settlement system. Investors can no longer settle the final profit and loss when buying and selling like stocks.

Now, after each day's trading, the exchange calculates the profit and loss data of the investor's contract and transfers cash.

Simon's Nikkei 225 contracts on the Osaka Stock Exchange have grown to 6,000 contracts, so he made 3.678 billion yen in just one day today, or 29.9 million US dollars.

With a principal of 200 million US dollars and a profit of nearly 15% in one day, Simon was not too happy.

The Nikkei 225 rose 613 points in a single day, which is close to the gains of the past month. If it is still calculated according to the limit of 38,000 points in memory, Simon's follow-up funds may not be in place, and the Japanese market has already peaked.

It would be very sad if this situation continued.
