My Age of Investment

After looking at Xia Jingxing for a few times, Soros suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Darren, I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously!

Now that I enter, I can only drink some soup and water, which is not worth a special trip.

And I don’t have much interest in individual stocks. I prefer large markets and trading varieties such as currencies and foreign exchange.

Bringing a large amount of money in to subvert the financial order of a country or a region is the most rare and exciting moment in life.

Nowadays, it’s just a small fuss, and it doesn’t arouse much interest in me anymore! "

Xia Jingxing smiled, this pretense... is indeed good, full marks!

"However, Darren, what you did in Hong Kong Island this time was really beautiful!"

Soros praised, and then sighed: "Even God is helping you. You went short on the front foot, and Lehman Brothers went bankrupt on the back foot, and then caused a financial turmoil around the world.

Financial investment sometimes still depends on a little bit of luck. If you are very lucky, you should be able to make billions of dollars in the Hong Kong Island market this time, right? "

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "The results haven't come out yet, so it's not clear yet."

Soros smiled. Even if Xia Jingxing didn't admit it, he could roughly deduce the profitability of Vision Capital's short selling on Hong Kong Island based on the scale of funds and changes in stock prices.

I remember that more than ten years ago, he successively attacked the pound, the Italian lira, and the Thai baht... and the profit was only a few billion dollars.

Ignoring inflation, currency depreciation and other factors, Xia Jingxing achieved a record in one area that took him several years to achieve in one go.

This surging back wave made him, the front wave, also look at him sideways.

At this time, Paulson suddenly interjected: "Darren, you also have investments in Europe, right? The London office of the Paulson Fund is also in Canary Wharf, which happens to be next to your office."

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "Yes, I heard that your business has expanded to London.

When I arrived in London, I even said I would visit you, but you were often not there. "

Paulson said with a bright smile: "There will be opportunities in the future! The Paulson Institute is vigorously exploring the European market, and I will often travel to London on business in the future."

"Really? That's great. When I go to London in the future, I can also find friends to drink with."

Seeing that Xia Jingxing seemed reluctant to talk too much about investments in London and Europe, Paulson simply said: "Paulson Fund shorted dozens of British bank stocks. After the short-selling ban was enacted, it was very difficult for us."

While looking at Xia Jingxing's expression, Paulson continued to elaborate: "It's not cost-effective to close the position now, but if you don't close the position... you will have to bear a lot of pressure from public opinion.

You know, because of shorting subprime mortgage derivatives last year, my mother was almost forced to have an emotional breakdown by a group of reporters who had no moral bottom line. She has not yet gotten out of her psychological shadow.

Now if I were targeted by reporters again, I wouldn’t know how to deal with it. "

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "There is an old saying in China that people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!

Now that you are a celebrity in the financial industry, you will naturally receive more attention. "

Paulson said with a look of regret: "I don't really want to be famous, but the matter has come to this and is irreversible."

Xia Jingxing snickered in his heart. Fortunately, he was smart and introduced Paulson, the "air god", to attract most of the firepower for him.

This year Paulson topped the Forbes list of America's richest people, ranking 165th.

In just one year, Paulson went from being a nobody in the financial world to becoming the "No. 1 hedge fund man" and "the god of making money" who can be brothers with Soros.

Even Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson was robbed of a lot of limelight by this new financial tycoon with the same surname. Some media even suggested that John Paulson should become Treasury Secretary, saying that he is more powerful than the current Treasury Secretary Paulson. Understanding finance can effectively solve a series of problems arising from the outbreak of the financial crisis.

In short, the story of this guy's rise is much more exciting than Xia Jingxing's, and he can scratch people's G-spots everywhere.

People are very interested in everything about him.

Compared with Paulson, Xia Jingxing was already an Internet tycoon before he entered the financial circle, and Envision Capital's performance in the past two years is inferior to that of Paulson Fund.

谷\u0026lt;/span\u0026gt;So, Xia Jingxing is like a has-been star, his light is quickly replaced and overshadowed by the freshly baked little meat Paulson.

In fact, Paulson is slowly coming back to his senses now and realizes that he blocked Xia Jingxing's knife once.

However, Xia Jingxing was the one who helped him when he was in the most difficult time, and the Paulson Fund should charge Xia Jingxing the LP’s management fee and revenue share, so he had no reason to blame Xia Jingxing.

To sum it up in one sentence, like a person drinking water, he knows whether it is warm or cold.

"Darren, Vision Capital should also be shorting European financial stocks, right?"

Soros looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, he couldn't hide the other party's little tricks from him at all.

He guessed that Vision Capital’s short-selling list would definitely include not only Hong Kong Island, but also Europe and even the United States, which was completely normal.

Paulson also looked at Xia Jingxing. He actually had no other intention. He simply wanted to discuss the response plan with Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Yes! Looking at the current reactions of European countries, we can only close our positions slowly."

Paulson frowned and said: "Is it better to wait a little longer? Are you afraid that financial regulatory authorities in various European countries will introduce more stringent answers to securities investment?

No matter how strict it is, it is impossible to completely ban short selling.

The existence of short selling is of positive significance to the securities market, as it can eliminate stock market bubbles and give the market greater liquidity. "

"That's right!"

Soros slowly said: "Darren, don't you think I got away with it when I was shorting the pound?"

Xia Jingxing glanced at Soros and nodded with a smile, but he felt a little disapproval in his heart.

What is the background of Quantum Fund’s attack on the pound?

The pound wants to join the European exchange rate system and decouple from the US dollar, and Europe closes the door and plays its own game.

Can America let you succeed?

Soros is just the person pushed to the front of the stage, with thicker thighs behind him.

However, short sellers such as Envision Capital and Paulson Fund only shorted bank stocks. Their hands were not as dark as Soros's, and the damage they caused was not as great. They were not afraid of European countries turning the tables in a hurry.

After confirming that Vision Capital was going on a killing spree in Europe, Paulson's heart suddenly became hot.

He said: "Darren, now that the financial crisis has been completely detonated, there will be a large-scale unemployment wave and economic recession. Where do you think a large amount of safe-haven funds will turn? A precious metal!"

"gold?"

Paulson smiled at Xia Jingxing and said, "That's right! The government plans to rescue the market next, but the poor in the treasury can starve rats to death, what should we do?

Print money! You can only print money, this is an old trick!

Let dollars flow into the world, and all countries will bear the damage of inflation together.

Therefore, I judge that the price of gold assets will definitely soar. "

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. Antiques in prosperous times are gold in troubled times. This principle holds true for all times, both at home and abroad!

When the financial crisis comes, it will be a chaotic world. If the price of gold continues to rise, it is simply not worthy of the title of rare precious metal.

In the next planned plan of Vision Capital, there are also arrangements for buying gold at the bottom, going long in the stock market, and buying low-valued assets at the bottom.

After a few large sums of money were profitably withdrawn, he planned to start the third wave of financial actions surrounding the subprime mortgage crisis.
