Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

Hearing Bao Zixuan talk about spending 10 billion US dollars strengthened Will Gibson's confidence. However, it also indirectly proves why everyone wants to cooperate with Mr. Bao; not everyone can do it if he is willing to give up profits. As for why he took the initiative to increase his investment, he did not want outsiders to know and used money to keep his mouth shut.

Don't underestimate a 5-point profit, which may involve hundreds of millions of dollars. Could it be that the other person is stupid and takes the initiative to give you money? Then he will not become the richest man in the world. It can only be said that I spend money to buy you to keep your mouth shut and make you have no complaints.

Will Gibson said with a smile: "Thank you Mr. Bao for your trust. I will definitely fulfill my mission."

Bao Shaofu knew that this was an opportunity, and it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; but Will Gibson was right just now, and it was really inconvenient for him to participate in it.

Last year, the New York stock market crashed. Baker put pressure on Japanese Prime Minister Nakasone to continue cutting interest rates. Soon the yen interest rate fell to 2.5%, and a large amount of cheap capital poured into the stock market and real estate. The annual growth rate of Tokyo stocks was as high as 40%; real estate even exceeded 90%.

At this time, the Tokyo stock market had risen by 300% in three years, and the total real estate market in one area of ​​Tokyo exceeded the current total real estate value in the United States in U.S. dollars. A huge financial bubble began to take shape. Without damaging external shocks, Japan may be able to gradually achieve a soft landing by easing austerity.

Will Gibson has a background in Goldman Sachs, so things are easy to understand; the biggest beneficiary of the Japanese economic bubble in the previous life was definitely the American Goldman Sachs Company.

The Japanese did not expect to ask the Bank of Japan to cut interest rates; this was an undeclared financial strangulation operation by international bankers. In the previous life, Americans used a lot of cash to buy, and the Japanese thought it was impossible for the Japanese stock market to plummet. Both parties were betting on the direction of the Nikkei index. If the index fell, the Americans would make money and the Japanese would lose money; if the index rose, the situation would be just right. in turn.

When the Japanese stock market reached its historical peak, the Nikkei Index reached 38,915 points; a large number of stock index short selling options finally began to show their power. The stock index options purchased by Goldman Sachs from the Japanese insurance industry were resold to the Kingdom of Denmark, which sold them to the purchasers of the warrants; and promised to pay income to the owners of the Nikkei Index put warrants when the Nikkei Index fell.

The warrant was immediately sold in the United States, and a large number of American investment banks followed suit. The Japanese stock market could no longer endure. The unstoppable plunge is like a violent storm hitting people. The dream of becoming rich overnight has turned into an abyss of nightmare, and panic has enveloped the hearts of investors. By April 2003, it dropped to a low of 7607 points.

The cumulative decline was as high as 63.24%, creating the largest decline in the history of the Japanese stock market; real estate has fallen for 14 consecutive years. The wealth of the entire country has shrunk by nearly 50%. This stock market crash almost destroyed all Japan’s achievements over the past few decades; the negative consequences it caused in Japan were comparable to the Great Depression in the United States in the 1930s.

However, these have changed a lot due to the emergence of Bao Zixuan; although Goldman Sachs also participated, it did not play as big a role as in the previous life. Although it is clear that there will definitely be problems in the Japanese economy, there are too many companies involved; if one company does not handle it well, it will easily lead to liquidation.

Seeing the Blackstone Fund gradually withdrawing from the market and looking down on Japan's economic trends, international capital will inevitably take action.

Will Gibson is just one company, and it is estimated that Goldman Sachs may have been planning for a longer time.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "I don't care how you operate it, and I also believe in your credibility; but one thing I would like to emphasize again is that Blackstone Fund and Black Cloud Group must not be exposed to this operation."

"As for the funds, I will transfer them to you through other channels, and I will definitely not delay the action."

Bao Shaofu has already thought about it, and there is still a lot of funds in the Soviet Union that can be mobilized. Looking back at the Soviet Union, the Japanese would definitely not dare to investigate; even the United States would not go too far. In addition, the Solomon treasure funds are basically stored in Swiss banks; they are prepared for secret operations and can be called at any time.

Without using the funds from the current sale of Japanese assets, 10 billion US dollars can be spent; it is said that Bao Zixuan is the richest man in the world, and it seems that what he says is true.

Will Gibson said very seriously: "I understand what Mr. Bao means, and I will never let you down; if anyone finds any clue, it will disappear completely in front of your eyes."

The richest man Bao is a man who owns a company on Wall Street. His disappearance means quitting the financial industry; the loss to Will Gibson will be incalculable.

After some specific details were discussed, Will Gibson left the Japanese branch of Blackstone Fund without making any stop; he didn't even have lunch.

Since you have decided to short the Nikkei Index, and it involves tens of billions of dollars, there is a lot of preparation work to be done in the early stage, which involves important matters such as wealth and life. You must not be careless. Bao Zixuan is willing to invest money, not to let you squander it; you must produce dazzling results, otherwise there will be no next time.

Clay Clark personally sent Will Gibson away, and the cards were already very high; it was considered as enough face.

Back in the office, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It seems that Goldman Sachs has been planning to short the Nikkei Index for a long time. Otherwise, how could a person who has been away for so long still have such an idea."

Although the 10 billion U.S. dollars invested are profits, they have already been settled; that is to say, it belongs entirely to you, and now you have to take it out again, of course you have to be cautious.

No matter what era you are in, this is a huge amount of money; no one dares to cheat their own money. It is good to have this confidence, but you must not be arrogant. You can't be completely unprepared. The Black Cloud Intelligence Department should not disappoint in this regard!

Clay Clark: "When Will Gibson was working at Goldman Sachs, he could be called the king of short-selling; that is, during his time in power, Goldman Sachs conducted many short-selling operations. In the end, he was set up and had to become a scapegoat. ."

It is not that easy to short a company or a country's stock market. A large amount of relevant investigation and analysis is required in the early stage. If you are not careful, you will fall into an irreversible situation.

Will Gibson's previous short position was due to internal leaks. In the end, it cost a very high price to forcefully close the position, causing Goldman Sachs to suffer heavy losses. Originally, if such a problem occurred, it would be difficult to gain a foothold in the financial field; but for this matter, I really don't blame him, and he even took the blame for others.

The news of Goldman Sachs’ short selling and its action plan were artificially leaked. In other words, the other party knows all of Will Gibson's actions.

It stands to reason that secrecy should be very strong in the financial field, especially when it comes to short selling. But this time it was leaked intentionally, and the even more annoying leaker was a member of the Goldman family. The boss is acting as a mole. How can a professional manager defeat a powerful enemy?

For the sake of reputation, the Goldman family just put all the responsibility on Will Gibson; of course, they couldn't go too far; they spent huge sums of money to forcefully close the position; their opponents made a lot of money.

In the end, he paid a hush fee and asked Will Hawkins to leave the company directly; he didn't even sign a non-competition agreement when he left; he probably didn't dare to complete the matter.

That is to say, entering modern society, otherwise one's life will definitely have to be handed down; this is Will Gibson's true thought. From ancient times to the present, capital has always been accompanied by bloody storms.

Fortunately, the vast majority of investors on Wall Street knew the ins and outs of the matter; and they had never doubted Will Gibson's ability. Soon, with the support of everyone, the Gibson Fund was established. The annual growth is very rapid and the performance is very outstanding.

However, it is very difficult to have a voice on Wall Street relying solely on the support of small and medium-sized investors. Then you can only find an institution that is no weaker than Goldman Sachs and has no interests. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible.

Blackstone Fund is the most ideal choice no matter what aspect you analyze.

Bao Zixuan himself is not an American and belongs to an emerging force. Although he has a hostile relationship with the established powers, it is not much better. And with the strong rise of Black Cloud Group and Blackstone Fund, they are a huge threat to established powerhouses such as Goldman Sachs.

The market pie is only so big. If one company takes too much share, other institutions will naturally take less. Cutting off someone's financial path is like killing one's parents; this is especially true on Wall Street.

Many well-known investment banks on Wall Street have long wanted to take action on the Blackstone Fund; they just haven't encountered a suitable opportunity, including Goldman Sachs!

If you don't rely on other forces and rely on your own status in the world, the Gibson Fund has come to an end. At the same time, because of Goldman Sachs, well-known Wall Street investment banks and other large financial institutions will not accept him.

After hundreds of years of development, the power of the Goldman family has penetrated into every corner. He can definitely be ranked among the top three on Wall Street. No one wants to take such a big risk for one person.
