Chapter 923 Building momentum (Part 2)

  Although Jiangshan was only a few words, Bloomberg was still a treasure, and immediately released breaking news on its terminal, and used the sensational headline, "Skyfield Fund is targeting Italy and Spain."

Strictly speaking, this headline is not accurate enough, but the expatriate reporter who interviewed Jiangshan is very smart and understands the economic situation and hot news very well. When he asked Jiangshan about Italy and Spain, he prepared such a headline .

  In addition to the pitiful content of the interview with Jiang Shan, the article also added a dialogue between Jiang Shan and the Deputy Minister of the Italian Ministry of Finance at the Italian short-term government bond auction site, as well as a little background introduction to Tianyu Fund.

Because Tianyu Fund is highly closed, even Bloomberg, which monitors the chat content, does not know the specific size of the funds. It can only introduce in general "about tens of billions of dollars, and it is one of the largest hedge funds." .

  However, even such reports still caused violent shocks in the entire market, because there have long been rumors in the market that Tianyu Fund was the vanguard of several previous attacks on European debt, and may even be one of the largest main forces.

   It can be said without hesitation that in the hedge fund world, the name of Tianyu Fund is a hundred times louder than that of Quantum Fund back then. Many hedge funds spend a lot of money to search for Tianyu Fund's movements, but unfortunately most of them get nothing.

   Now that such a free message came suddenly, how could it not make them ecstatic?

   Soon, investigations into the authenticity of this news were carried out frequently, and Bloomberg received so many consultation calls that their customer service panicked. Finally, after the "Wall Street Journal", "Financial Times", and CNBC and other media released similar news one after another, the doubts about the authenticity disappeared.

  There is an undercurrent hidden under the calm, and many hedge funds are planning to attack the national bond markets of Italy and Spain, and even some impatient ones have already launched their actions.

   As the party concerned, Tianyu Fund has never made any response, including acknowledging or denying this statement.

   But this situation was soon broken.

  Greenwich.

  This small town is only 45 minutes away from New York. The tranquility has been broken since the early morning. Many luxury cars from New York drove into this quiet town early in the morning.

   As the three major centers of hedge funds, Greenwich has never lacked luxury houses and luxury cars. This is one of the areas with the highest concentration of millionaires in the United States. However, it is precisely because of its quietness and distance from the hustle and bustle that it has become the most popular place to live for billionaires.

   Once there is a lively and noisy scene, although the people in the small town don't take it seriously, they are also very clear that something big is going to happen.

   This time the protagonist is the Castle Fund.

  At seven o'clock in the morning, luxury cars drove into the office of the Castle Fund one after another, including stable and elegant high-end commercial vehicles, as well as various expensive and dazzling super sports cars. The entire parking lot was full. At nine o'clock, the luxury car show came to an end.

   "Gentlemen, the annual hedge fund conference has begun again!"

   At nine o’clock in the morning, Griffin showed up at the venue on time, and greeted everyone with a smile on his face, “Gentlemen, how is the performance of the past year? I believe everyone has done a good job!”

  The so-called annual hedge fund meeting was actually initiated by Ken Griffin. And as long as you apply in advance, you can get speaking time.

At this meeting, there was a collective short-selling of Leimen Brothers. Griffin and Castle Fund called for that action. After the great success, Griffin's reputation in this circle has reached the level of Japan. .

   "Okay, according to the previous practice, the person who applied to speak this year will be invited to come on stage and explain his point of view!"

   After a brief greeting, Griffin began the established agenda of the meeting. There are not many rules for this kind of social meeting. Everyone is very free and relaxed. "If you come across a good point of view, don't bother us to sit down and talk slowly."

  He emphasized this point emphatically at the end, implying to bind everyone together and become a community of interests.

   "Hi everyone, I'm George, from Wisconsin, and I run a hedge fund with a total size of 1.5 billion dollars!"

After Griffin left, a chubby hedge fund manager walked up to the stage, introduced himself a little nervously, and then began to express his views, "Last year, I found out that there was a problem with Verizon's corporate statements, so I called Verizon myself. Calling their CFO to find out some of this..."

  Since Griffin successfully shorted Raymond Brothers, everyone wants to replicate his victory. So this guy named George couldn't wait to tell everyone that he was looking for the possibility of attacking Verizon.

   It's just that after ten minutes passed, everyone just shook their heads vigorously, and no one echoed or even asked questions. Obviously, this guy named George didn't convince everyone. After seeing this scene, George's face sometimes turned blue and sometimes turned pale, and he had to leave the microphone of the rostrum embarrassingly.

   Those who can come here, everyone has a few talents, and it is basically impossible to easily convince the other party. Only those analyzes that are well-argued and well-founded can impress them, and of course, they must be expected to be lucrative.

  The meeting continues, and another guy comes on stage and continues his speech.

  After five or six people passed by, except for one guy whose speech was a little bit bright, the content of the speeches of the others was very average, which greatly disappointed many people present.

   "Gentlemen, please prepare your cheers, let us welcome a heavyweight guest!"

Just after a hedge fund manager finished his boring speech, Griffin stood up at the right time and said emotionally to the crowd, "I believe most of you here would never have imagined that this guy could come to our party." Come. Although I am not sure if he will come in the future, what I can be sure of is that this time I guarantee that your trip will be worthwhile."

  He purposely kept a secret and didn't say the name of this "important guest". But even so, it has successfully whetted everyone's appetite. These people are wondering which important person will appear on the stage.

   What I have to say is that in the hedge fund industry, there are also grades. Hedge fund managers with a management fund of more than tens of billions of dollars generally do not appear on this occasion. One is because they are in a rare position, they are so confident in themselves that they don’t need other people’s opinions at all; on the other hand, they have various channels to get news about this meeting, so there is no need to attend in person. After all, if someone wanted to get some news in this kind of meeting, they had no choice but to answer.

   Therefore, most of the people who attend this kind of conference are small and mid-level hedge funds in the industry, and it is rare to meet those top leaders.

   "It can't be Paulson, right?" Someone immediately guessed.

   This is no wonder, after all, Paulson has been the most popular manager in the hedge fund industry over the past few years, bar none. Many people are asking about Paulson's holdings, hoping to make a fortune by following him.

   "It may also be Delio. If this one comes, we will make a lot of money. This guy's macro analysis is simply amazing!"

   "It's hard to say, maybe it's Soros. Although this old guy has retired, his macro-cognition is definitely no worse than anyone else."

  …

  While waiting, everyone disregarded the discipline of the venue, and began to **** after each other. In fact, it is quite difficult for them to see the side of the legendary boss. So being able to communicate face-to-face with the legendary bosses, they are like groupies, full of excitement and anticipation.

   Soon the mystery was revealed. A young man with an oriental face came in, walked to the microphone under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes, and stood there quietly without speaking.

   "Who is this guy?"

   This is the first reaction in many people's minds. People who don't know Zhong Shi look around, hoping that those who know him can explain.

   "No way, this guy is..."

   Slowly, someone finally began to recognize Zhong Shi.

   "Who the **** is he?"

  The person next to him hurriedly urged, "Who the **** is this guy? Why do I have no memory at all? Is he really the so-called 'important guest'?"

   "If I'm not mistaken, this guy should be Zhongshi!"

  The recognized hedge fund manager lowered his voice and replied in an uncertain tone, "Maybe you don't know who he is. But you should know Tianyu Fund, it was founded by this guy."

   "Tianyu Fund, the super fund that shorted Europe? My God!"

  The face of the guy who asked the question changed suddenly, and he looked at Zhong Shi full of awe and admiration, and his voice changed unconsciously, "Is it really that guy?" He didn't forget to confirm it again.

"should be!"

  Another guy also got excited, "I remember he once filed a lawsuit and appeared in the newspaper. It should be him, it can't be wrong!"

  The same conversation was going on quietly in other places in the venue. Soon, Zhong Shi's identity was known to everyone.

  Zhong Shi has been standing in front of the microphone, waiting for everyone's reaction without saying a word, and has no intention of opening his mouth at all.

  Suddenly, without warning, a hedge fund manager sitting at the front stood up and started clapping. This move made everyone feel inexplicable, but soon a second person stood up and followed suit and applauded, followed by the third and fourth...

  At the end, the entire meeting room stood up and applauded enthusiastically for a full two minutes. The applause gradually died down after Zhong Shi waved them to stop.

  The reason why everyone made such a move was not that someone instructed them to do so, but out of their own inner respect. Although they don't know the size of Tianyu Fund, they are very clear that the young man in front of them is much better than them.

  Zhong Shi knew very well what they were thinking, and naturally accepted such high-standard treatment from them.

   "Gentlemen, nice to meet you!"

  He finally spoke, "I believe you should know who I am. Yes, I am Zhong Shi. Today I will share my views on the economic situation with you. I hope everyone can speak freely."

  He started his speech with a very equal attitude, and at the same time said that this is a discussion, not a unilateral indoctrination.

   "I heard that your fund is shorting the bonds of Italy and Spain. Is there such a thing?"

But as soon as Zhong Shi finished speaking, someone immediately stood up and asked a very sharp question, "I read what Bloomberg said. Not only that, but several media also reported similar news at the same time. May I ask Zhong Shi?" Sir, is this true?"

  He couldn't wait for Zhong Shi's speech, so he asked directly.

  As soon as he asked this question, everyone present immediately held their breaths, not daring to make any noise. They were all waiting for Zhong Shi's answer.
