Chapter 739 Trip to Europe (12)

   "We bought 9.9% of the shares of Inditex Group for only 3.8 billion euros. Today's price has jumped to 15%. We have made a lot of money!"

On the plane, Jiang Shan fiddled with his iPad and said excitedly, "The Financial Times first broke the news, saying that we are buying the bottom in Europe. Although the whole article is nonsense, they are right about one thing: Tianyu Fund It is not surprising that the companies in which it has invested have been sought after by the market to varying degrees. Although the size of the fund industry in the Far East is not comparable to that in Europe or the United States, Tianyu Fund is an exception. This fund, which hardly cares about outsiders, is said to have grown into one of the top funds in the world. No one knows how it works, but in its few public operations, it has been proven to be correct and extremely profitable investment."

  After reading it, Jiang Shan couldn't help laughing out loud, quite pleased with himself.

   "It's good or bad for us to say something about this leak."

Zhong Shi is very calm. After all, this level of investment is just a trivial matter for him. "For Inditex Group, because of its strong management and highly concentrated equity, it is quite difficult to short them. Big. But none of that is a problem if someone wants to insist on shorting.”

   "Someone will come up with our idea?"

Jiang Shan's face suddenly changed, and he pondered for a long time before hesitatingly asked, "No way? Even if it is Soros, I think the most sensible approach at this time is to invest with us instead of choosing to fight against us .”

   "You are right, but there are always some lunatics in this world, which cannot be guessed by common sense!"

Zhong Shi nodded slightly, "It seems that the person we are going to visit is willing to take the risk of going to war with all European capitals to be our insider. Although the pursuit of profit is the nature of capital, the risk he has to take can be called ' Go to the gallows', I don't know what this guy thinks?"

   "Yes, once the matter is revealed, I am afraid that there will be no place for him in the whole of Europe. If it were me, I don't think I dare to agree."

There was a horrified expression on Jiang Shan's face, and he echoed exaggeratedly, "Although capital has no national boundaries, the consequences of this kind of behavior are really too serious. I even suspect that he doesn't understand the whole thing, otherwise how could he agree to it?" ?”

  Zhong Shi also nodded in agreement.

But the fact is that their guesses were all wrong. This fund manager from Germany not only knew the ins and outs of the whole incident, but also knew the serious consequences after the whole incident was revealed. Even so, this bold guy still chose Zhong Stone Group cooperation.

   "Mr. Zhong Shizhong?"

At the exit of Frankfurt Airport, a middle-aged man with a hooked nose came forward, his stern eyes inspected Zhong Shi and Jiang Shan several times, and after a while he said with a smile uglier than crying, " You are welcome, boss."

Jiang Shan couldn't help shivering. The other party's gaze made him extremely uncomfortable. There was always a feeling of being targeted by a poisonous snake. Suddenly the other party forced a smile. This extreme contrast made him very uncomfortable. The scalp is numb.

   "Ralph Schneider?"

  Zhong Shi was expressionless, and stretched out his hand to hold each other tightly, "Ralph Schneider with full capital?"

"it's me!"

  Ralph exerted a little force on his hand and shook it slightly, "This is not a place to talk, please follow me, boss!"

  Full Capital, Absolute

  Capital, a relatively unknown hedge fund in Germany, has a fund management scale of only about 3.5 billion euros. But among German peers, everyone knows that this hedge fund has a strong grasp of the German government's policies, and it can be called the top three in Germany. The reason why this fund has a small management scale is entirely because they are not open to outside investors at all.

  Ralph Schneider came by himself alone. After leaving the airport, he took the role of driver as a matter of course. His car is also very distinctive, a white Land Rover Range Rover off-road vehicle, which is quite rare on the streets of Germany. After all, Germany itself is a big car-producing country with world-famous brands such as BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz. Generally, Germans will Choose domestic cars.

   "Is he reliable?"

  The moment the car started, Ralph Schneider turned his head slightly to one side in the back row, and asked Zhong Shi beside him, "About what we want to discuss!"

   "100% reliable, I only brought him along this journey!"

  Zhong Shi nodded slightly, "Relax, my friend, he is absolutely reliable, trust me."

   "The whole thing is out of my control, it's too much trouble!"

  Ralph Schneider nodded, and then complained, "Even my wife, I didn't tell. In the whole company, I am the only one who knows, and everyone else is kept in the dark."

   "Then how to explain your next investment behavior?"

  Hearing what he said, Zhong Shi couldn't help but frowned, "If you can't find a reasonable explanation, others will become suspicious. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"

   "Don't worry, I will take care of this matter!"

Ralph Schneider looked at the road and replied earnestly, "I've already thought about it. Besides, our fund is not involved in all events to a large extent because of its small capital size, and occasionally enters once or twice. , they won't be suspicious."

   "Well, this is your problem, you solve it yourself!"

  Zhong Shi didn't continue to ask. He knew that in this situation, it would be useless for him to say more, so he simply stopped continuing the topic. "By the way, I have always had a question, why did the Americans come to you in the first place?"

   "Me? Don't you know the answer to this question?"

Ralph's expression was slightly astonished, but soon he understood the joints, "It turns out that the Americans made a plan first, and then found a scapegoat. It seems that you and I are the last to know !"

  He defined himself as a "scapegoat", but there was no sense of loneliness or complaint in his words and expressions. Obviously he was quite satisfied with the role of "scapegoat".

   "I know the reason for choosing me, but choose you?"

   Zhong Shi did not refute his statement. In fact, Ralph's understanding was very accurate, and Zhong Shi himself thought so. Although the whole matter was extremely dangerous, both of them chose to ignore the risks compared to the huge benefits.

Focusing on this point, Zhong Shi immediately felt sympathy for Ralph Schneider in front of him, and this feeling prompted him to continue asking, "Although I didn't participate in the planning of the whole thing from the beginning, I must now Understand every detail, otherwise I cannot guarantee the smooth execution of the whole link.”

"But since they chose you, there must be their reasons. I believe in this. But I must know which of your characteristics can make them look at it. This is very important for me to make decisions in the future. Based on our current situation relationship, I think we still need to get to know each other better, don't we?"

   First waved a big stick, and then gave a carrot. Zhong Shi became more and more proficient in using this method of adding soft and hard, turning clouds and rain.

   Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Shan thought secretly.

   "The whole thing is actually very simple!"

Ralph Schneider did not intend to hide it at all. Perhaps he had prepared to confess a long time ago. Perhaps it was the same experience that Zhongshi had with him that made him relax his vigilance. No matter what the reason was, he replied straightforwardly, "I Part of the funds represented come from the family of members of the German Parliament, and I can know the latest developments in the government through this relationship, it's that simple!"

"It's that simple?"

   Not only Zhong Shi, but even Jiang Shan in the back row was stunned, and the two of them were speechless for a long while.

   "Yes, frankly, I am their family's white glove!"

Ralph Schneider was obviously mentally prepared, turned a blind eye to the reactions of the two, and continued on his own, "I was originally an analyst at Deutsche Bank, specializing in the macro market. But one day, I suddenly I was kidnapped, and several gangsters took me to a certain place, threatened me with my family, and asked me to handle funds for them. In this case, I could only obey. After several contacts, I gradually I know who the person behind it is, originally it was a member of Congress, and a few more were added later, and now I have the property of about a dozen members of Congress on hand, the whole thing is as simple as that!"

Although it has been a long time, Ralph's brows were still twitching when he spoke. Obviously, the experience that year made him feel terrified, "In the first few years, they have been strictly monitoring my behavior. After seeing that I did not have any abnormal behavior , and I have earned a large amount of money for them in the past few years, so I slowly relaxed my vigilance. If it were the past, I would have set off to the airport alone, I can't even imagine it!"

"As for calling the police? I thought about it before, but I was stopped before I even reached the gate of the police station. I even doubt that even if I can successfully call the police, this matter may eventually be suppressed. Their energy is too great. Over time, I stopped thinking about it. Anyway, they are satisfied, and I also make money from it, don’t I?”

   Speaking of which, he shook his head with a wry smile, parked the car on the emergency lane, took out a pack of cigarettes, and smoked on his own, "Life is full of helplessness, but risks always come with opportunities, don't they?"

"I don't know why, but the US side suddenly found out about my situation and wanted to use this to threaten me. But what I suspect is that they have reached some kind of agreement with my upline, and they want to achieve their goals through me. No way. Not to mention, these consortiums in the United States are so powerful that they can even know this kind of thing. As a pawn, what else can I say, I can only follow what they say."

   After he finished speaking, he took a long puff of cigarette and didn't speak for a while.

   "So have you ever thought about the future?"

The three of them were silent for a long while before Jiang Shan asked leisurely, "If this continues, sooner or later you will be exposed. What will you do then? Compared with us, your status as a 'scapegoat' is completely confirmed. If a If you're not careful, you might disappear from the world one day."

"good!"

  Zhong Shi also said succinctly, "This is indeed not a long-term solution."

   "I know all the truths you said, but..."

   After a long silence, Ralph Schneider lowered his head deeply, "If there is a good way, I would have tried it a long time ago." He replied in despair.

   "No, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved!"

At this time, the difference between Zhongshi and Ralph Schneider finally appeared, and he said calmly and calmly, "If there is anything that cannot be solved in this world, then it is death. It is unavoidable for individuals. Excuse me, gentlemen, please keep calm and let me think about it!"

  This time it was Ralph Schneider who was dumbfounded. He stared at Zhong Shi, who closed his eyes and meditated for a while, before he widened his eyes and cast a questioning look at Jiang Shan. After receiving a signal of confidence, his heart suddenly moved, realizing that maybe his fate might really turn around.

   After a full ten minutes, Zhong Shi opened his eyes. The first sentence he spoke made Ralph Schneider very puzzled, "These dozen members of Congress should all belong to the party of the Prime Minister?"

"good!"

  Ralph Schneider nodded subconsciously, and then he reacted, and asked in surprise, "I don't seem to have said this. You...how did you know?"

   "If it is done properly, maybe we will have an extra way to save our lives!"

  Zhong Shi didn't answer, but instead showed an unfathomable smile on his face.
