Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 281 Countermeasures

…

Chandler's words silenced everyone. As he said, even without Citi, other financial institutions are more than willing to provide mortgage loans to promising companies in Guo's hands.

"Maybe we can drag it!" The words of CHO Will Weiss quickly attracted everyone's attention.

"What I mean is: we can agree to Bruce Guo's betting request, and then try to delay the time when the two sides negotiate the conditions. The longer the delay, the better we can judge the development trend of the gold market. If the market later If the situation is unfavorable for us, then naturally give up the bet and sell short gold. If the situation is favorable for us, then naturally continue to increase leverage!”

His words slowly brightened the eyes of everyone who understood.

"In addition, Bruce Guo's companies have many companies and assets are complex, and our investigation is a complicated and time-consuming matter. Therefore, even if we deliberately delay the time, it will not affect Citi's reputation!" Will Wes continued.

After listening, most of the people present nodded in agreement!

But apparently some people don't think so. It didn't take long for Will Weiss's voice to fall. A middle-aged man with an aquiline nose, a stern expression, and a clear face said solemnly: "Everyone, I'm very surprised why you make such a conservative or cowardly plan when facing Bruce Guo. You know We are Citi, the world's largest financial consortium. With a history of more than 100 years, we hold over a trillion dollars in assets, and our financial influence spreads all over the world."

"By contrast, Bruce Guo is just a business novice who has been on the rise for less than two years. Although he is indeed called a genius, this is not why we are so afraid. Now, the other party is willing to show All of our chips are betting on gold, and we Citi, a group with more wealth, greater influence, and deeper connections; and the big consortium that already has an advantage in the gold market is thinking about how to protect itself as much as possible ?...I really can't agree with such an idea."

"In addition, have you thought about it? If we make up our minds to delay the time, it may be nothing in a short time. But if it is a long time, it will undoubtedly reveal a signal to the outside world that we at Citi are not so optimistic about the bears in the gold market. This kind of subtle signal , in the gold market dominated by confidence, it is enough to change the outcome of both sides in an instant!"

Jason Federer, chief advisor to Citibank. His eloquent words made the faces of everyone present show a look of thought.

"I agree with Jason's point of view. He is right, we care too much about Guo Shouyun's brilliant achievements in the gold market in the past. We forget about the strength we have and the attitude that should be in line with Citi's identity. ' Paul Turner was the first to speak.

"I agree too. Also, I think we should agree to Guo Shouyun's bet neatly. Everything is in accordance with normal procedures, and we can even take the initiative to promote his mortgage loan. In this way, we can just reveal to the outside world that we are optimistic. The strong hint of bears in the gold market, thereby capitalizing on Citi's century-old influence on financial markets, has prompted more financial institutions and individual investors to bet on gold bears."

"That's right! The daily trading volume of the gold market exceeds two trillion US dollars. No one can influence the ups and downs of this market through capital. Therefore, even if we give Guo Shouyun a loan of ten billion US dollars, it will not be decisive for the gold market. Influence. On the contrary, if we can influence the trading confidence in the gold market, then the role played is definitely more useful than pure funds! In addition, because of that paper bet, the whole world is watching us, if we do not Show a firm attitude, then all the previous efforts may be in vain!"

Speech after speech, gradually overturning the previous conservative decision. The decision to be inclined to agree to bet and take a firm attitude to enhance the confidence of the bears in the gold market has gradually become the consensus of most people.

Seeing that everyone's attitudes were basically unified, Citi CEO Charles Prince nodded, his deep eyes swept across everyone's faces quickly, "The plan to agree to bet and to promote the contract between the two parties as soon as possible is a joint decision of everyone. I have no opinion. However, past facts have proved that Bruce Guo's strength cannot be ignored. Therefore, we must make a stop loss plan. Once the situation changes irreversibly, we must ensure that our losses will not affect Citi's losses. fundamental!"

At the helm of Citi, Charles Prince tends to be conservative.

“Currently we are investing $5 billion in gold shorts with 20x leverage. I think $275 can be used as our safety line. As long as the price of gold does not exceed this value, we choose to hold positions. If it exceeds this value, we Just close the position! In this way, even if there is a black swan event that we cannot predict, we can guarantee that we will not lose too much.”

$275 is the price of gold when Citi entered the market. As long as the gold is not higher than this price, Citi will make money!

The words of Chief Risk Officer Paul Dempsey won over Charles Prince. Everyone briefly discussed it, and after making some additions in the middle, they agreed with the proposal.

"Turner, you are most familiar with Bruce Guo here. You will be responsible for the subsequent gambling and negotiation!" Charles Prince said.

"OK!"

The latter nodded.

…

"Niu X, Niu X, brother-in-law, you are so awesome!"

Al Bevan gave a thumbs up and yelled at Guo Shouyun. Seeing how excited he was, those who didn't know thought it was him who made an amazing bet with Citi!

"Bruce, the world's newspapers are talking about you right now. By comparison, Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt, Tom Hanks, etc., are weak in front of you!" Olivia Eisley, who came back with Al Bevan, also showed excitement on her face.

After briefly swiping the two faces, Guo Shouyun shook his head secretly. No wonder they can be together, their tempers are so similar!

"Didn't you guys come back to see Molly? Why do I feel like you care more about me now?"

"We saw Molly~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Aside from a bigger belly, isn't everything all right! In comparison, your affairs are even more curious!" After a pause, Al Bevan rolled his eyes and smiled, "Bruce, you don't know how many media out there want to interview you now..."

"Stop!" Guo Shouyun waved his hand quickly, interrupting the guy's next words. Everyone has been together for a long time, and he also understands the nature of this guy Al Bevin. As the saying goes, 'As soon as you poke your ass, I know what kind of baba you're going to pull'!

"Do you guys want to use this to benefit yourself again? I tell you there is no way. Now, besides work, what I want to do most is to quietly accompany your sister to give birth."

"Hey, hey, don't be so extreme? My sister is in good health. Besides, an interview doesn't take long."

"no!"

Just when Guo Shouyun unceremoniously rejected Al Bevan, the housekeeper, Old Ward, came in after knocking on the door.
