My Age of Investment

"Hahaha~"

Xia Jingxing happily handed the Fuxing tablet in his hand to Liu Xiaoduo, who was flying to the United States with him. "Look, Lao Niu has such a vicious mouth. He just wanted to greet Robin Li's eighteenth generation."

Liu Xiaoduo took the tablet. When she saw the title "Chihiro: The Day of the Donkey", she couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It's so good to get the title. Everyone immediately connected it with "The Penguin: The Day of the Dog" Get up, how do you evaluate these two brothers? A pair of crouching dragons and phoenixes on the Chinese Internet?"

Xia Jingxing smiled and said nothing. Compared to Qianxun, who ate human blood steamed buns, Penguin's reputation for plagiarizing products and threatening users was not at all high. Why do you say that? After all, penguins are just looking for money, not life.

"Drunken Qingniu scolded Chihiro and Robin Lee like this, they won't be...".

Speaking of this, Liu Xiaoduo made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"What are you thinking about? Now is a harmonious society!"

Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed. Mainland China is not like Hong Kong Island in the 1970s and 1980s. If a tabloid reporter dared to name-drop a business tycoon like that, he might be punished.

"You asked people to tell Drunk Qingniu not to be afraid, and now people across the country are supporting him.

It would be better if Qianxun sues him. We will continue to sponsor him through the old method and make the lawsuit a household name, making his reputation even higher. "

"That would be too cheap for him!"

"Everyone gets what he needs!"

…

After chatting for a while, Xia Jingxing sent Liu Xiaoduo away. He wanted to be alone for a while.

Looking at the dark night sky outside the porthole, the good mood that just arose disappeared instantly without a trace.

Vision Capital was in a lot of trouble this time. Abel, Jiang Ping, Zhao Peng and others kept urging him to leave for the United States, so he could only abandon the war with Qianxun that was just in the middle.

However, Qianxun basically couldn't make any moves because he still had a few cards in his hand that he hadn't played out yet.

What really worried him was Vision Capital. The opponent he encountered this time was very unusual and it was difficult to resolve the opponent's offensive.

…………

…………

After arriving in New York in a low-key manner, Xia Jingxing did not go to Wall Street to show up. Instead, he came to the Peninsula Manor villa in Greenwich Town that he bought for Ivanka.

Not long after Xia Jingxing arrived at the villa, Abe, Jiang Ping, Zhao Peng and Liu Hai arrived one after another.

Then, several people held a small meeting together.

“Affected by the Goldman Sachs fraud case, public opinion in the United States and Europe is currently very unfavorable to us. Netizens who do not know the truth are incited and believe that Vision Capital and Goldman Sachs colluded with each other and are one of the biggest culprits behind the subprime mortgage crisis. We support the financial regulatory authorities of various countries in taking action against us and Goldman Sachs."

Jiang Ping looked at Xia Jingxing solemnly, sighed and then said, "Even Blankfein can't withstand the pressure. I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to withstand it this time."

Xia Jingxing rubbed his swollen temples and felt a little tired. However, this did not prevent him from scolding Goldman Sachs and Blankfein in his heart. Vision Capital was cheated by this stupid teammate this time.

The story begins four years ago, when Goldman Sachs was commissioned by Vision Capital to help design and launch a collateralized debt obligation, also known as a CDO, based on subprime mortgages.

With the help of Goldman Sachs's huge sales network covering the world, these CDO bonds were quickly sold out. There were many buyers or players competing against Vision Capital, including not only institutional investors such as banks, funds and insurance companies from various countries, but also Many small retail investors... For example, singer Jacky Cheung is one of the more well-known ones. After huge losses, he held more than 100 concerts in one go.

Of course, it is impossible for institutional investors to swallow their anger like small retail investors. For example, Deutsche Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland sued Goldman Sachs after surviving the subprime mortgage crisis and filed huge claims.

"The reason Blankfein gave in was because the owner of the white house had spoken!"

Abel often interacts with blue-blood nobles and is the most familiar with the upper-level politics of the United States among all people.

He looked around everyone with his eyes, and finally looked at Xia Jingxing, and said: "Goldman Sachs not only pimped us, but also helped many subprime speculators, including Paulson, to match up with investors from all over the world. person’s transaction.

Countries without sovereignty such as Xiaobenzi and Xiaobangzi dare not speak out, but our European allies really can't stand it this time.

Countries led by Britain, France and Germany hated Goldman Sachs. They not only expressed their dissatisfaction with the White House, but also made harsh words: If Goldman Sachs does not give an explanation, they will completely ban Goldman Sachs from developing business in their countries.

Ao Guanhai was preparing to attack Wall Street at the time, but he was wary of the votes and political energy behind major financial institutions. The incident caused by Goldman Sachs gave him a good breakthrough.

At the same time, the SEC was also disgraced by the Madoff scam and the subprime mortgage crisis, and it urgently needed to handle a major case to restore its lost reputation and public trust.

After countless games and interest exchanges, Goldman Sachs finally relented and agreed to pay $550 million to settle a civil fraud charge with the SEC.

This number is not very large, but it also sets a new record and becomes the largest fine ever issued by the SEC to a financial institution. "

Speaking of this, Abel sneered, "But our European allies didn't get much of the fine. Deutsche Bank got 150 million U.S. dollars, the Royal Bank of Scotland got 100 million U.S. dollars, and the remaining 300 million U.S. dollars all went in." The SEC’s pockets.”

"The SEC's handling of this matter is really disgraceful." Zhao Peng commented bitterly.

Abel spread his hands and said, "That's not true, so Deutsche Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, which have not recovered enough, are eyeing Vision Capital again."

Liu Hai sneered: "We did not design the product, and we are not the one directly facing the investors. What reason is there to sue us?"

“It doesn’t matter what we said, the SEC has officially accepted the case.”

Abel put away his playful smile and said seriously: "And Goldman Sachs made a very bad start, which will be very detrimental to our subsequent lawsuit."

"Damn it!"

Bangs punched the table hard, and Abel's words reminded him that Goldman Sachs' "weak" performance undoubtedly contributed to the arrogance of these people who couldn't afford to lose, and if there was a lawsuit next, Goldman Sachs would have to be punished. Counterfeiters may be considered.

"When we were designing this product, did we have..."

Liu Hai glanced at Xia Jingxing and didn't say anything clearly, but Xia Jingxing still understood. Liu Hai asked if there were any violations.

"No!"

Xia Jingxing's face was calm, but there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes, "This product was independently designed by Goldman Sachs, and ACA participated in the rating. All information and investment portfolios are public, without any concealment or inducement. Vision Capital is just A common short investor.”

"I'm afraid this argument is very difficult to convince."

Facing Xia Jingxing's sharp gaze, Abel said bravely: "The reputation of Goldman Sachs has long been ruined. After Fabrice Tour's pretentious email to a friend was made public, it became even more ridiculous. It’s the last fig leaf for the company.”

"Fabrice Tour~"

As Xia Jingxing murmured this name, memories from four years ago appeared in his mind.

"Daerun, don't worry, this is not the first time we have done this..."

Xia Jingxing scratched his scalp. What kind of email did this pig teammate send to show off? It's okay now.

"Financial leverage is increasingly being used in the system, and the entire edifice could collapse at any moment. The only possible survivor (Fabrice Tour) is in the midst of the complex and highly leveraged bizarre trades he has created..."

After reading a paragraph, Abel said: "These are Fabrice's original words. He pretended to be a prophet and a wise man in front of his friends, but ended up getting into a lot of trouble for the company. His career may also be ruined because of this." Reimbursed.

Blankfein should hate this kid to death now. If not too many people paid attention, this kid might have died in a car accident long ago. "

Xia Jingxing nodded slightly, indicating that he knew how destructive this email was.

The disclosure of this email also made it clear to the public: Goldman Sachs predicted the subprime mortgage crisis as early as January 2007, and then Goldman Sachs "deceived" a bunch of financial institutions to come in and kill the pigs.

This is how European financial giants can swallow this bad breath!

“Goldman Sachs’s pants have been taken off, which also makes us, the profit-seekers, very passive. The outside world is sure that we have played a disgraceful role, and it is very likely that we have teamed up with Goldman Sachs to set up this billion-dollar trap to kill the bulls. .”

Abel paused, and then said solemnly: "Goldman Sachs' next attitude is critical. We must convince Blankfein to help us bear all the charges."

"Will Goldman Sachs do it?" Liu Hai asked.

"It depends on how much you are willing to pay."

Xia Jingxing glanced at Abel, "I will talk to Blankfein personally.

What worries me now is that even though Goldman Sachs is on our side, European financial institutions are still biting us. "

Abel nodded, "It's very possible. The Europeans have already lost their sights, and they won't let go of any opportunity to quickly recover blood."

“US$1 billion is just an ordinary transaction among the many CDO and CDS transactions that Envision Capital has participated in. What I am more worried about is that if we lose the lawsuit, other hyenas who smell the smell of blood will swarm us.

At that time, it will no longer be possible to spend hundreds of millions or billions of dollars. "

Jiang Ping's words made everyone's faces darken, which touched their biggest worries! This hole must not be opened, otherwise the entire dam will collapse.

"We can't reconcile! We can't lose the lawsuit! No matter how difficult it is, we must support the lawsuit."

Liu Hai said excitedly: "All the profits from the subprime mortgage crisis have been distributed, and we simply cannot afford to lose that astronomical figure."

Xia Jingxing frowned and asked, "What has our blue-blood noble friend done recently?"

"It's none of your business, just hang up!"

Abel smiled bitterly, "They seem to want to use this attitude to respond to the toughness we showed in liquidating the fund some time ago."

"Could this be instigated by them?" Xia Jingxing asked.

Abel shook his head repeatedly, "It shouldn't be the case. They just wanted to grab the meat and not smash the pot together."

Xia Jingxing thought for a while and generally ruled out the suspicion of blue-blood nobles. However, he was still a little wary and planned to further observe the behavior of the group before drawing a final conclusion.

"You inform them that after we liquidate the fund, we plan to stop all hedge fund fundraising and withdraw from Wall Street!"

“Quit Wall Street?”

Not only Abel's eyes widened, but everyone else was also stunned, shocked by Xia Jingxing's decision.

"I'm not joking. Cooperation is based on mutual benefit between both parties. When we contribute unilaterally and they cannot provide us with reasonable protection, I can only regretfully terminate the cooperation.

Of course, PE funds, S funds, and parent funds can still continue to complete the final journey together. "

Abel swallowed hard and reminded: "Darren, is this too tough? Although those people are annoying, they have helped us solve some minor troubles."

"You say it's just a minor trouble. I've helped them earn tens of billions, and I just asked them to solve the minor trouble?

If Vision Capital is having a hard time, then everyone should just not have a good time!

I’m so pissed off that I will divest all the shares of Ali and Haihai Holdings from the S Fund, so that they can’t make a penny from the Chinese market! "

Xia Jingxing looked at Abel with an unkind expression, which made the latter feel a little flustered. At the same time, he was also very worried that Vision Capital would give up the hard-earned business and withdraw from Wall Street, or even the United States.

Seeing Xia Jingxing's anger, everyone had different reactions. They were all thinking deeply about the boss's intention of completely decoupling at the risk of sharing the same fate.

Liu Hai's current interests are all pinned on Daxia Capital and Xia Jingxing, and he no longer has much interest in Vision Capital, so he was the first to stand up and express his attitude.

"I support this decision! Because as long as we show a little bit of weakness and compromise, the name of Vision Capital will be indispensable in the list of people who will settle accounts after the fall.

Even if our blue-blood aristocratic friends finally come forward to help us and let Vision Capital escape punishment, the price may be too high to bear. "

Xia Jingxing glanced at Liu Hai with admiration, and the other party understood what he meant. Even if this incident was not arranged by the blue-blood nobles, they could not let them take advantage of it.

This is not only about a face-saving issue of "who works for whom", but also about the distribution of benefits measured in units of tens of billions of dollars. There is no room for compromise! If you give in this time, you might have to give in again next time!

"There are some old money in Europe. In their eyes, the blue-blood nobles are just a group of refugees and nouveau riche who fled on the Mayflower. I'm afraid it will be difficult to help us."

Xia Jingxing smiled at Abel, "You are wrong, the blue-blood nobles do not need to influence Europe, they only need to influence the United States.

Goldman Sachs has already given its explanation. Can the Europeans really let the Europeans kick their noses in the face and take over every financial institution on Wall Street?

It is not difficult for our blue-blood noble friends to solve this matter! "

Abel thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"

"Be faster, and be tougher at the same time! Whether Envision Capital can still operate in the United States depends entirely on you."
