Chapter 728 Late Night Secret Talk (1)

   "Buzz buzz..."

   At this moment, there were bursts of roaring sounds from a distance, which immediately attracted Zhong Shi's attention. He looked far and wide, only to see a black spot the size of a finger in the sky in the distance. But a minute later, the entire shape of the black dot clearly appeared in Zhong Shi's eyes, and a helicopter was flying towards this side at high speed.

   "There is a situation!"

  Land Rover's expression changed immediately, he quickly dropped the antelope he was holding, and gestured to the bodyguards. The security team, which was originally loose and invisible, suddenly became orderly. Dozens of them, without saying a word, copied the firearms around them and clearly dispersed around Zhong Shi and the others. In less than a minute, they formed a tight-knit Others got into the tent, and when they came out after a while, they had more RPGs, body armor, sniper rifles and other items on hand.

   "Put it on!"

  Land Rover took the two body armors, threw one to Zhong Shi casually, and said in an orderly tone. Immediately, he put on the body armor, pulled out the pistol at his waist, and stood in front of Zhong Shi.

   "Easy, guys, not the enemy, not the enemy!"

All of this happened in the light of calcium carbide flames, and Paulson was stunned. When he realized it again, the insurance cover of the RPG rocket launcher had been opened, and he hurriedly shouted, "Gentlemen, keep calm, come here!" Is my friend!"

   It's just a pity that no one present listened to him. The security team with high tactical literacy is still meticulously executing defense orders. As soon as Land Rover gives an order, long-range heavy weapons such as RPGs and sniper rifles will immediately open fire.

   "Mr. Zhong, tell them to stop!"

  Paulsen stomped his feet anxiously, and hurriedly persuaded Zhong Shi. He knew very well that in this situation, there was only one person present, that is, Zhong Shi himself, and only Zhong Shi said that Land Rover would listen.

  Mboweni, on the other hand, had already put his head in his hands and lay down on the ground. He buried his head deep on the ground, and his buttocks were raised high, like an ostrich hiding in its wings. What made people laugh the most was that this guy actually put on his body armor backwards because he was too nervous.

   "John, who is it?"

  At this time, Zhong Shi also had a serious face, not daring to be careless. By this time, the helicopter was about the size of a fist, and to my relief, it wasn't an armed helicopter, just a normal civilian helicopter, which meant that even with the firepower on it, it wouldn't be too powerful .

   "Yes... Hey, I don't know who it is for the time being!"

Paulson originally wanted to answer immediately, but the next moment he realized that he didn't know who was on the plane, he sighed suddenly, and then said leisurely, "Don't worry, when he gets off, I will Only then will I know who it is!"

   "Keep on alert, don't fire!"

  Land Rover on the side also heard Paulson's words. After giving him a meaningful look, he shouted to the security team, "After they reveal their identities, we will decide on the next move."

   "Attention, attention, helicopter, please identify yourself."

  Seeing the helicopter flying closer and closer, everyone became more and more nervous. At this time, the Blackwater team showed a high degree of military literacy. One of their members had already taken out the radio and tuned to the civilian channel to shout.

  At the same time, the team member with the sniper rifle was also intentionally or unintentionally using the sight to reflect the afterglow of the setting sun onto the cockpit.

   Soon the helicopter responded, and slowly landed on the open ground hundreds of meters away, followed by a man in a suit and leather shoes, walking towards this side with his hands raised high.

  After the man left, the helicopter roared again, and after a circle, it returned from the same way.

   At this time, everyone was really relieved.

   "John, is that you?"

  The man in the suit walked slowly to the supply point. When he saw a group of people with live ammunition, his legs trembled in fright, and he shouted to the crowd, "John, tell them not to shoot, don't shoot!"

   While speaking, he slowly knelt down, his hands still raised high.

  In the United States, if there is a situation where the police point a gun, the general reaction of the person involved is to kneel down, raise his hands, and signal that he has no weapons. So as soon as the visitor made this gesture, Zhong Shi immediately concluded that the visitor was a Yankee.

   "It's Griffin, Ken Griffin!"

Just when the visitor knelt down, two guards had already rushed out, quickly ran to his side, searched up and down, left and right, and confirmed that the other party was not carrying a weapon. Hold him hostage and bring him into the supply point.

John Paulson took a good look at the other party's face, he let out a long breath, and explained to Zhong Shi, "Kenneth Griffin of the Castle Fund, he and I participated in the short-selling of the five major investment banks. Is my friend."

   Among the well-known hedge fund managers, Griffin is relatively young and handsome. But when he was brought up in front of Zhong Shi, his face was already pale with fright.

   "John, what the **** is going on here?"

  He barely stood up straight, and roared at Paulson, "Didn't you tell Mr. Zhong that I was coming? If something happened just now, would you be responsible?"

Before Paulson could say anything, Zhong Shi graciously stretched out his hand and comforted him, saying, "I'm sorry, Mr. Griffin, I didn't know about your arrival beforehand. But now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, you can Don't blame John, even if he tells you in advance, there will be some defenses, after all, these are necessary in this place."

"of course not."

Facing Zhong Shi, Ken Griffin was very enthusiastic, and the depression and dissatisfaction on his face were swept away immediately. He held Zhong Shi's hand enthusiastically, bent slightly, and his attitude could be described as groveling, "Mr. Zhong , Hello, I have known you for a long time, and I am very honored to finally meet you this time."

   "What the **** is going on here?"

Zhong Shi didn't understand, so he looked towards Paulson, but saw Paulson avoiding his gaze, and at the same time he said: "By the way, there will be a few people coming later. Mr. Zhong, let you Be careful, don't accidentally hurt your friend."

  Since Paulson was unwilling to speak for the time being, Zhong Shi would naturally not force it, so he gave Land Rover two instructions in a low voice, and several of them sat back by the campfire at the same time.

Although there was an explanation from Land Rover, the security teams of Heishui and Shihu still did not dare to be careless. They left a few guards on patrol outside, and others sat back by the campfire again, but none of them Drop your weapon.

   Mboweni got up from the ground, looked at Zhongshi, thought and thought, and finally did not push over cheekily, but sat down with a group of bodyguards.

   "Why, John, haven't you said anything to Mr. Zhong yet?"

He took off his expensive coat and laid it on the ground mercilessly. Ken Griffin sat down on the ground, looked at the Land Rover who was handling the antelope, and the pistol at his waist. The corner of Griffin's mouth slightly Twitching, after looking away, he realized that Zhong Shi was looking at him lightly.

  He suddenly realized that Paulson hadn't revealed the whole thing to Zhong Shi, so he asked immediately.

"No!"

   Paulson touched his nose, and replied with some embarrassment, "I want to wait until everyone is here."

   "You are right."

  After such an explanation, Griffin suddenly realized, and said again and again, "It is true that I was abrupt. It would be more appropriate for everyone to discuss this matter together."

   "If I remember correctly, Castle Fund's performance has skyrocketed in recent years, and it has become one of the most outstanding mid-sized hedge funds."

   Zhong Shi didn't pay much attention to the conversation between the two, after all, the answer to the mystery would be revealed soon. Facing Griffin for the first time, he didn't know what to say, so he had nothing to say.

   "Mr. Zhong actually knows about us?"

   It's just that Zhong Shi's polite words fell into Griffin's ears, and it became another meaning. I saw him looking at Zhong Shi with surprise on his face, and said in disbelief, "It's really an honor for a hedge fund of our size to be noticed by Mr. Zhong. God, I can't believe it." all of these."

   "You guys did a great job!"

Zhong Shi smiled lightly, but felt very strange in his heart. Although the castle fund run by Griffin was only a medium-sized hedge fund, the other party seemed to be too polite to him, and there was always a kind of flattery in his conversation Among them, "I heard that you made a lot of money on the position of the Everlasting Flower Fund. I have to say that this transaction is very well done!"

   "Hey hey hey, it's nothing."

This sentence just scratched Griffin's itching, and I saw him smiling smugly, waving his hands seemingly casually, but kept saying, "Actually, I was lucky and realized that the natural gas position at that time The price was really underestimated, so I took the risk to take over the natural gas position of the Evergreen Fund. Just in the end, those guys who shorted the Everlower Fund also made enough money, so they finally closed their positions smoothly and made some money. .”

   "How much did you earn?"

  Paulson asked curiously, "Ken, there is no outsider here who can tell me the specific amount."

  Ken Griffin looked towards Land Rover and saw Zhong Shi nodded slightly. After realizing that he was one of his own, he proudly stretched out a finger, "One billion dollars."

   A billion dollars is nothing to the three people talking, not even entry level. But for a transaction that can earn such a large profit, it has to be said that this is definitely a very successful transaction.

   Paulson pouted, but said nothing. However, when he glanced at Zhong Shi, he found that the other party just nodded indiscernibly, with no expression on his face.

  He suddenly thought of something, and couldn't help blurting out: "Oh my God, Mr. Zhong, wouldn't it be you who shorted the Everlasting Flower Fund?"

"it's me!"

  Zhong Shi picked up a branch, fiddled with the fire, and said lightly, "I didn't expect to meet my original opponent here. It seems that this circle is too small."

   These words, like rolling thunder, exploded in Ken Griffin's ears. He never expected that his most proud deal would be against Zhong Shi who was sitting across from him. Thinking back to the original situation, if Tianyu Fund chooses to deliver instead of liquidating the position, there is a high possibility that Castle Fund will be liquidated.

  Suddenly, layers of fine sweat oozed from his back, and the pride he had just now was thrown into the sky.

  In the following time, he didn't dare to say anything more.

   "By the way, Ken, there is one more thing I want to tell you!"

Paulson seemed to be very happy to see Griffin deflated. Seeing the other party's reaction, he took the opportunity to sprinkle salt on the other party, "Do you know about the Porsche thing? First, he made a deal for a European hedge fund. It was a big trap, and then the whole thing had a dramatic scene, Volkswagen Group actually reversed the takeover of Porsche Group."

   "Of course I know such a thing!"

   Griffin grinned and said, "The whole thing is really terrible. Who would have thought that it would end up like this? John, why do you say this?"

His expression froze suddenly, as if he realized something. When he looked at Zhong Shi again, the other party was still flicking the fire. The red fire light reflected on his face, showing a kind of concentration and tranquility, as if he didn't hear anything at all. The two of them talked quietly.

"Won't…"

  Griffin pointed to the stalactite and asked Paulson for confirmation in a low voice.

  Regarding his question, Paulson just nodded secretly, without saying a word.
