Chapter 100: Irresistible mixed charm 5/10

  Chapter 100 Irresistible mixed charm 510

  Abel was in David Mellon's resentful eyes.

   While on the phone with another David.

  New York City, 120 Broadway, Manhattan, World Financial Center.

  The World Financial Center is a landmark building in the United States even if it is placed in the entire United States.

   Its designer is the famous architect Cesar Perry, and it is a complex of four skyscrapers.

   Well, next to it is the Twin Towers, which Abel is very taboo.

  Merrill Lynch occupies the entire 34 floors in Building 4 of the four buildings.

  Merrill Lynch,

   Chief Financial Officer Charlie Scharf is discussing with President Stanley O'Neill about the corporate bond department.

   Stanley O'Neill is an African-American, which is very rare in Wall Street.

   Some claim that Stanley O'Neill is the new chapter of Wall Street.

   is a new wind in the financial world.

   These accolades, plus Stanley O'Neill's own ability.

  Let him occupy a high position after working for Merrill Lynch for more than ten years.

   Today, Stanley O'Neill is one of the presidents of Merrill Lynch.

   But his power in the company is even above the CEO.

  Because it has won the trust of shareholders and has top-notch political power.

   Coupled with appeals among blacks, Stanley O'Neill has already been rumored to be the CEO of Merrill Lynch.

  This made his reputation and strength in the company stronger and stronger, and the entire Merrill Lynch Securities was about to become his monopoly.

   Charlie Schaff, the Russian chief financial officer, happens to be Stanley O'Neill's man.

  So what Charlie Schaff said at Merrill Lynch is sometimes more powerful than the current CEO.

   "Charlie, I know you are very optimistic about that young man." Stanley O'Neill said:

   "But I think this matter is still too risky."

  In a small conference room, Charlie Schaff looks at Stanley O'Neal.

   He knew what O'Neal was referring to.

   "Stanley. We're not the only ones making this decision.

  Including Goldman Sachs and Lehman, they all made the same decision. ’ said Charlie Schaff.

   "But our quota is the largest. There are a total of 500 million U.S. dollars." Stanley O'Neill said.

   "The more principal, the more profit."

   "But the risks will also increase."

   "Okay." Charlie Schaff simply showed his cards, "Boss, the contract has been signed, and the funds have been transferred.

  Now you tell me this again, what's the use? "

   "I just want you to be more cautious." Stanley O'Neill shook his head.

  Actually, this time, Merrill Lynch won a private equity share of US$500 million from Smith Capital.

  Merrill Lynch, there are many executives who oppose it.

   They feel the stakes are too high.

   But Charlie Scharf insisted, and Stanley O'Neill stood up for his own people.

  So in the end, Merrill Lynch still took a share of 500 million US dollars from Smith Capital.

   It was only an afterthought, Stanley O'Neill muttered many times.

  Charlie Scharf was a little annoyed, but there was nothing he could do.

   Who told Stanley O'Neill to be the head, and the one who supported him the most.

  Thinking this way, Charlie Schaff suggested: "Maybe we can see where the Wolf of Wall Street puts his money?"

   Stanley O'Neill hesitated after hearing this, but finally nodded.

  Merrill Lynch is one of Smith Capital's LPs and is qualified to supervise the flow of funds related to Smith Capital.

  At the same time, as one of the largest financial companies, Merrill Lynch is also one of the middlemen and market makers of Smith Capital.

   Such a giant has the ability to monitor the flow of some of Smith Capital's funds on its own side.

What?

  伱 Said it was immoral?

   Violation of relevant financial regulations.

Ah!

  Wall Street does this!

  As long as the customer does not know, or is not caught by the customer and the relevant departments.

   Then no problem.

  The two left the bond department and came to the customer department where they could monitor the flow of funds.

  After the chief financial officer and the most powerful president revealed their identities.

  Relevant staff will naturally cooperate infinitely.

  So soon, Charlie Schaaf and Stanley O'Neill, through the secret channel of Lin Securities.

  Understand the flow of part of the funds of Smith Capital today.

  Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff are both old financiers.

   Those ordinary people will have a headache when they see it, and the information flow that they can't understand after seeing it.

  It is easy for them to distinguish the flow of part of Smith Capital's funds through judgment on this information.

   "International crude oil and London gold?" Charlie Scharf said in surprise: "It seems that our wolf of Wall Street wants to find food in these two areas."

  Compared to Charlie Schaff's focus, Stanley O'Neill's focus is on the amount of funds.

  "Twenty times leverage, 300 million U.S. dollars in capital. This is an operation volume of 6 billion. All of them are placed in London gold. Isn't this risk too high?" Stanley O'Neill said.

   "It's only six billion dollars," said Charlie Scharf. "Should be okay."

   "Charlie." Stanley O'Neill's voice became serious, "You have to know, we are just one of Smith Capital's middlemen.

   I hear they work with all the big banks.

  Then, we have 300 million US dollars here, and other banks or financial groups should also have corresponding funds. "

   "If it's all this amount, if it's all this leverage. If they all do this."

   "Then do you still think "should be okay"?"

  Charlie Schaff heard the black president say this, and he immediately thought of the direction that Stanley O'Neal thought.

   This made Charlie Schaff's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help saying: "It shouldn't be so crazy, right?

   If all the money was flowing like this, the number could be... tens of billions of dollars? "

   "Investing tens of billions of dollars in the London gold market. This is too crazy." Stanley O'Neill said.

   "Charlie, you really got me in a lot of trouble!"

   Hearing what the president said, Charlie Schaaf turned pale.

   And on the other side, the Woolworth Building here.

  Smith Capital identified as "big trouble" by Stanley O'Neill.

   After three hours of thrilling operation, it began to come to an end.

  Just now, the United States announced the non-agricultural data for August this year.

  An increase of 400,000 people is expected to be 850,000, and the pre-set is 1 million. The actual announcement is far from the pre-announcement and expectations. It is the smallest increase since January. At the same time, the unemployment rate is 8.2%, a substantial increase.

  As soon as the news came out, the excited expression of David Mellon beside Abel turned into excitement.

   After reading the entire article, David felt that the only thing that was good for gold was written on it.

   Sure enough, London gold rose sharply in response, turning from volatility to rising, up 7 points, or 0.512%.

   The sideways trading lasted for a short time, and then another news was announced one after another.

   "Deterioration in the Desert Area"

  "European Bank Releases a Dovish Approach"

  《Inflation rate increased by 3.2% from the previous quarter》

  "Neon central bank announces interest rate cut"

  "Federal Reserve's Moderate Attitude"

  《.》

   Report after report is full of wealth codes that are good for gold.

  At this time, David Mellon beside Abel was already jumping and shouting crazily.

   "FZZK! Abel, Abel! You are my god, you are the **** of finance!"

   "My God! The non-agricultural data is fine. The Fed's attitude is barely predictable."

   "The situation on the other side of the desert, the attitude of the European banks, and the neon central bank, how did you guess?"

   "Mygod! In the financial field, you are a prophet, you are a god, you are a god!"

  “.”

  David Mellon was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

   People who don’t know, saw it and thought he was crazy.

  The only ones who could compare with his excitement were the five traders in the safe room.

  The five of them were also blushing with excitement at this time.

  It seems to have drank fake wine, or had high grass.

  But traders, you can’t vent your excitement by yelling like David.

   They will continue to watch the market and continue to complete Abel's orders one by one.

   And in the case of various bullish news, the price of London gold has stopped in Bengbu.

   Then, like a runaway wild horse, it sprinted upwards crazily. Countless short positions had no time to react, and their positions were instantly liquidated and liquidated.

  The large-scale forced liquidation caused the price of gold to continue to rise.

  The current price of London gold is 365.770.

   surged 53.07.

  An increase of 19.925%.

   Close to 20%, a very exaggerated number.

  Abel did not hesitate, and at the moment it rose, he quickly issued orders: "Clear the warehouse, as much as you can clear above 360 ​​points."

  Traders received orders and proceeded in an orderly manner, with large sales orders being thrown out one after another.

  Floating profit becomes real profit.

  The market is very enthusiastic. Since the beginning of this year, gold has fallen by a total of 100 points.

  Crude oil is so high again, and there are constant disputes in the desert area.

  The emotions that have been suppressed for a long time in the global investment market have completely exploded at this moment.

  Under this premise.

   After clearing more than 50 billion yuan, the price of gold fell by less than two points, and it was quickly restored within tens of seconds.

  Smith Capital all left the market, and within three hours, made a profit of 2.564 billion US dollars from London gold.

  Smith Capital Safehouse, David Mellon naturally yelled and vented his excitement with the traders who had finished their work.

   And in Manhattan's No. 4 International Financial Center, Merrill Lynch on the 34th floor.

  Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff,

   also witnessed the outflow of 300 million funds from Smith Capital.

   Then it turned into a scene where almost $590 million came back.

   This scene made even the well-informed Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff.

   was also a little dumbfounded.

   "What happened?" the black president Stanley O'Neill asked in a daze.

  Charlie Scharf reacted faster, and immediately asked the operator to call out the relevant information.

  After a few minutes of inquiry, Charlie Schaff made a relatively correct judgment.

   "The capital outflow from Smith Capital is long London gold futures."

   "In just one hour, the London gold market has reached a surge of 70 points +."

   "Then Smith Capital quickly returned, presumably it was an arbitrage exit."

   "Mr. O'Neill, obviously this time, the Wolf of Wall Street made a lot of money on London Gold."

  Stanley O'Neill can naturally understand information that Charlie Schaff can understand.

   It's just that Stanley O'Neill is better at maneuvering, and his reaction to this is slower.

   "It seems."

   "Indeed." Stanley O'Neill said softly.

  Charlie Scharf was in high spirits: "Smith Capital's funds on our side have nearly doubled the profit."

   "Then his funds in other banks or financial groups should have similar profits."

   "In other words, this guy made a profit of at least a billion dollars in just a few hours!"

   Stanley O'Neill frowned and had to admit: "It's possible."

  Seeing Charlie Schaaf's excited look, Stanley O'Neill added: "It seems that you are right, Charlie."

   Stanley O'Neill said excitedly: "It's all because of your trust and support."

   Seeing that he was still so sensible, Stanley O'Neill nodded in satisfaction.

   "Well, it's time to get off work." Stanley O'Neill said, "Let's go first. If there is anything else, please contact me, Charlie."

"clear."

  In fact, what happened at Merrill Lynch today.

   There are many giants who have cooperated with Abel and have subscribed shares in his private equity fund.

   Both did something similar to Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff.

   That is to monitor the flow of funds related to Smith Capital.

  Through this kind of monitoring, we can speculate and calculate the investment direction and data of Smith Capital.

  Smith Capital does not have its own bank and must use other large banks as middlemen and market makers.

   This kind of monitoring of them is unavoidable.

   Fortunately, Smith Capital tried to disperse the funds as much as possible, and did not put all of them in one or two banks.

  So what they can monitor is only a part of Smith Capital's funds.

  Looking back to the Woolworth Building,

  After the ecstasy of David Mellon and others, they began to return the funds one after another according to Abel's instructions.

   Soon, except for the $3.5 billion in international crude oil.

  Smith Capital’s capital account now has as much as 25+25+1 billion dollars lying in it.

   Among them, 1.5 billion US dollars is the money of the No. 1 fund.

   is money in escrow.

  Another $2 billion is Smith Capital’s own funds.

  The remaining 2.5 billion is the profit of the three hours just now.

  The profit of 2.5 billion U.S. dollars will be based on the ratio of 15:10, part of which is the profit of Fund No. 1, and the other part is the net profit of Smith Capital itself.

   "Hoo~"

  Looking at the excited David and those traders, Abel ordered: "According to the old rules, I will leave the matter here to you, David."

   "Understood." David, whose neck and face were congested with blood, shouted immediately like a red neck.

  Abel nodded, turned around and left without hesitation.

  Compared to the excitement of the people behind, he has increasingly regarded this kind of thing as a simple numbers game.

   It's just this kind of numbers game that can bring him a lot of green paper.

  These green papers can bring him high quality of life, high influence, and high charm.

   There is no doubt that compared to the simple appearance and figure.

  The charm brought by green paper will be more powerful.

  If the two are added together, it is in the country of the United States.

   Basically, there are not many women who can block the invasion of this added charm.

E.g

  Not long after its establishment, the general manager of the new underwear company named "Elizabeth's Back Garden" was Michael Levine.

  He brought two young supermodels, Gisele Bundchen and Carmen Keith.

   Obviously, the combined power of this mixture is hard to resist.
