Investment Life

With a muffled electronic bell, Chen Yuanming opened his eyes. Reaching out to stop the alarm clock, he stretched a lazy waist on the bed, and immediately felt a soreness in his upper arms and back muscles. Lactic acid piled up, the bitter fruit of overtraining yesterday.

Climbing from the soft mattress and slightly moving his limbs, Chen Yuanming opened the thick curtains in the bedroom. Behind a whole floor-to-ceiling window is a towering concrete jungle. Although no noise can be heard, the road below dozens of floors is crowded with various vehicles and office workers waiting to cross the road. Mixed into a mottled ribbon, they headed for their intended battlefield.

Looking from here, the skyscrapers in the middle of the field of view reflect the rising sun, like a pile of sculptures made of gold, and the magnificence contains the stunning beauty. There, the financial heart of the United States was throbbing, and every money flowing made an intoxicating sound. Wall Street on Manhattan Island is a sanctuary for financial professionals around the world.

Chen Yuanming took a deep breath. In his last life, he never went abroad, let alone came to New York City and stood here watching the legendary Manhattan Island. Therefore, even if he had seen this every day for three months, he could not follow the undulating mood in his chest. In the face of this huge financial empire, his assets and strength can only be said to be insignificant at present, not as powerful as a drop of water drops. But this unrestrained sense of pleasure is by no means the experience of domestic austerity financial markets.

Now it is only 1993. In the next ten years, the New York Stock Exchange will usher in an exhilarating bull market. All kinds of hedge funds and investment banks have developed rapidly in these years, ushering in glory and prosperity. Although they will eventually hit the wall again, fall into a panic or panic, but this is not the moment, not the moment. In the textbooks he once studied, in the innumerable biographies and time records of reading, opportunities are like the seductive singing of Siren, but graceful but full of human crisis, but now in this age, With the memories from the future, how could he not let him feel turbulent and uncontrollable.

Standing at the window and watching for a long time, Chen Yuanming moved his arm and turned into the bathroom next door. It's time to invest in another day.

Dressed neatly, walking out of the bedroom, Chen Yuanming saw the man sitting upright on the sofa outside the suite. This man was only in his early 30s, his hair was shaved into sharp edges, his beard was completely shaved, his blue jaw was exposed, and his looks were not handsome, but his calm posture revealed a pressing force, it seemed You can hit the bow at any time and shoot a deadly blow at the enemy.

This is his current security consultant, Zhang Gang, who was born in the Northeast Tiger Special Forces of the Shenyang Military Region. He was retired from an accident during a mission. He was recommended by Xiao Yun because his salary was not high and his family was difficult. After coming to the United States this time, the man was almost inseparable by his side, arranging the rooms not to live. In the end, he could only choose a presidential suite and let him live in the outer room.

"Boss." Zhang Gang stood up when he saw Chen Yuanming's figure.

Chen Yuanming's mouth twitched slightly, and he felt uncomfortable every time he heard him call him that, but this man is a standard diehard, how can he not change his name, he just covered him with a layer of dim riches.

"Brother Zhang, go to breakfast first. I'll make an appointment later, and I'm going to talk."

On Wall Street, most transactions are communicated by phone, but some people have to meet directly. Today, Chen Yuanming encountered such a person. Sitting in the newly bought convertible Land Rover Defender, the hot and humid air from Manhattan blew into the compartment, and Chen Yuanming leaned against the window, thinking about the recent issue at hand.

After coming to the United States, he did not choose short-term stocks. Instead, he directly invested his money in Goldman Sachs Bank to start European bond trading. It wasn't long before the 1992 British sniper attack. By accurately grasping the situation, Soros used 10 billion U.S. dollars to short the pound, which caused the pound-to-mark price ratio to fall below the 2.778 floor. The British government spent $ 26.9 billion worth of foreign exchange reserves, and eventually failed to hold back Bureau was forced to withdraw from the European exchange rate system.

This campaign made Soros personally make a net profit of $ 650 million and made the quantum fund he led the world's most well-known hedge fund. For this successful subversion of the Central Bank of other countries, Wall Street people proudly call it "White Wednesday." However, the battle did not end, followed by the operation of the Swedish Krona and the Italian Lira, and the foreign exchange market stopped gradually until 1993.

However, the foreign exchange market has been let go, and bond trading has become a new hot spot, and investors have toured the European continent like a bloodthirsty great white shark. Unlike the splendid performance of sniper forex, the whale of bond trading is impassive, and many observers have forgotten this fact. Quantum Fund achieved a 63% return in 1993 through outstanding investments in bonds such as France, which is no less than 69% in 1992.

So the first time he arrived in the United States, Chen Yuanming cut into this vortex. After a period of careful observation, he chose to buy a large number of Spanish and Italian bonds. More than 100 million yuan sounds like a lot, but it is converted into US dollars, but only more than 20 million. Fortunately, at this time, the threshold for private fund raising of hedge funds was only 1 million US dollars, so this generous Chinese investor appeared in Goldman Sachs the first time, and someone smelled the limelight.

After months of big sales, someone knocked on the door knocker.

After a slight shock, Land Rover stopped by the road and quickly walked out of the bright office building. A young man, a Chinese, was 25 years old and dressed in a very spirited suit. Seeing Chen Yuanming and his car, the youth first showed a stunning expression.

"It's a good car, the soft-top guard just released?"

auzw.com This Land Rover has been available in the United States for less than a week, but Chen Yuanming has long been looking forward to it, and immediately replaced the previous Grand Cherokee. There is nothing better than a convertible and high chassis. Can offset his car phobia. Just such a car, in the conservative Bentley, Mercedes, and Lincoln in the street, it is inevitable that the atmosphere on Wall Street is incompatible with it, and it is particularly eye-catching.

"Kevin." Chen Yuanming smiled and greeted him. "Why did you wait so long?"

When he came to the United States, Chen Yuanming's first thing was to find a translator who is proficient in Wall Street. He learned business English a bit in the previous life, but it has been useless for many years in this life. It's really embarrassing. So through the intermediary, he selected Song Caiwen, a talented student who just graduated from Columbia Business School.

The guy is very diligent and belongs to the second generation of immigrants with his parents. The family situation is not good. I read expensive ivy with scholarships and student loans. However, Wall Street is not friendly to Chinese people. Then he fell to the ground of Chen Yuanming's eyelids and became his financial agent.

"Where, the other party has just arrived." Song Kaiwen smiled. For his young patron, he had already learned to be indifferent. In his teens, he dared to run alone on Wall Street with tens of millions of dollars, and all investment intentions have never consulted a consultant, and he directly cut into the chaos in Europe. Who knows that the bonds on hand have just risen by over 40% , Then turned around and threw it out, it seems to want to withdraw from the bond market. He really can't guess the other party's mind, but the profit is really real and can't tolerate fraud. This is not a stupid boss. With this knowledge, Song Kaiwen worked harder and harder. Now a stable and promising job is hard to find, and it must be grasped firmly.

Of course, Chen Yuanming's generous operation not only exchanged his subordinates' loyalty, but also hedge funds came directly to the door. At this time, hedge funds are privately funded and need to attract investors face to face. Soros's quantum fund has shaken the entire investment industry. The well-known Goldman Sachs brokers have immediately become the reserve army of hedge funds. Various small funds were established, but the contact numbers were called one after another, but Chen Yuanming never nodded until this time.

Gathering his thoughts, Song Kaiwen made a pleased gesture and took Chen Yuanming into the building.

The interview was located in an office building on Park Avenue in Manhattan Island. At this time, I just started work. The passing office was busy, but a few people didn't stay. I just took the elevator to the meeting room they had booked. Pushing open the door of the conference room, two men stood up and greeted quickly.

"Kevin, this is your young employer! Really young and promising!" The head of the man burst into a huge smile and extended his hand friendly. There was no contempt or doubt in his eyes, so he frankly signaled to Chen Yuanming. Road.

Chen Yuanming smiled, politely held back, "I heard Kevin mentioned you, and everyone on Wall Street knows your name, Mr. Robertson."

Both hands clasped tightly, with a sense of friendliness and kindness. Compared with the other party's wave, Chen Yuanming's curiosity is heavier now, and he looks at the man in front of him seriously. In all subsequent financial textbooks, especially the chapter on hedge funds, except for the father of hedge funds Alfred Jones and financial predator George Soros, this is the most famous.

He founded a tiger fund with the same name as the Quantum Fund in one hand, and once surpassed all funds to become the hegemony of the hedge fund industry. However, he ended up withdrawing from the market because of the continuous failure in 1998-99 and the collapse of the Internet bubble. It is very exciting to see such a big man in the financial industry.

It is very consistent with the industry's rumors. When facing this potential client, Mr. Robertson always has enough personality charm and demeanor. The solo events of Tiger Fund brokers that appear one after another this year did not seem to affect his mood. Still polite and perfect.

After the guests and the host took their seats, the topic revolved around the recent financial situation casually. It seems that this is not an interview involving private fundraising, but a loose interview or just a popular Wall Street cocktail party. It was only during the chat that Mr. Robertson's eyes became brighter, especially when the two people reached a high degree of agreement on the two stocks of General Instruments and Fair Life Insurance.

Gossip slowly cut to the topic from the outside. Robertson sat up straight and asked a little seriously, "Now that he chose to withdraw from the European bond market at a high level and did not cut into New York securities, it seems that Mr. Chen has pointed out something else?"

Chen Yuanming smiled, "I can't talk about it, I just want to find a chance to change the line. Now that my capital chain is also relatively tight, I still want to make some short-term profitable lines."

Robertson smiled slightly. "Short-term? Still old Europe ..."

The author has something to say: melancholy looks at the sky ... In fact, Wo really doubts that he has to write such a subject for Mao, and the materials are all rotten or confused ...

It can be done to such a degree, everyone is just happy to see it. In more real terms, this article can't be written. Qaq
