"No, no, no, that can't be true. If Asian capital is really lurking around, that would be terrifying."
“Tom, tell me, is there anything wrong with your statistics?” Jesse grabbed Tom’s shoulder and questioned him.
This is extremely important. Putting aside the possibility of it being true, what if it is...? The unseen enemy is the most terrifying.
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing Tom nod without hesitation, Jesse knew that Tom couldn't possibly make a mistake on such a small matter.
The only explanation is that this event is indeed true.
"You little rascal, you're something else! Don't worry, I'll talk to the higher-ups." Whether Tom could understand him or not, Jesse shouted this and then ran upstairs without looking back.
The office building where Tiger Fund is located has offices for ordinary traders on the ground floor, and slightly larger rooms upstairs for senior traders, analysts, and Tiger Fund managers.
Of course, there are also meeting rooms upstairs.
The conference room was bustling with noise; clearly, the managers were having a meeting to discuss the ID, which was the statement made by the Thai side earlier.
Conventionally, traders can attend meetings of this level to fully express their views. However, because traders are responsible for different regions and different trading instruments, they are generally reluctant to attend such meetings.
Looking through the transparent glass window, the sharp-eyed Jesse noticed that in addition to Robertson, the top boss of Tiger Fund, there were several other Tiger Fund economics experts, strategists, and analysts specializing in macroeconomic policies.
Fearing they might have already made some decision, Jesse reluctantly pushed open the meeting room door, only to find it completely silent.
In fact, just moments ago, an enraged Robertson had vented his anger. He was a restless individual who had always been jealous of Soros's status and reputation on Wall Street, and even more so of the fact that the amount of money Soros managed consistently surpassed his own.
Now, the Thai authorities have named the Quantum Fund in front of all the media, but not the Tiger Fund, which he manages, which immediately made him very unhappy.
Why look down on Robertson so much? In this attack on the Thai baht, Tiger Fund's position was no smaller than that of Soros' Quantum Fund.
However, in terms of reputation, it lags far behind the Quantum Fund. It's worth noting that while the Quantum Fund's reputation is generally negative, it largely proves its exceptional capabilities.
Because subpar hedge funds simply don't have the guts to attack the currency of a sovereign nation. Strictly speaking, this reputation can also attract more investors willing to invest.
Driven by such enormous interests, what harm is there in offending a small country thousands of miles away? Do they really dare to risk offending the United States and come to the United States to arrest people?
Just kidding! Not only is it impossible, but even if the Thai authorities tried to negotiate with the US government in a polite manner, they would be flatly rejected.
Robertson glanced at Jesse as he walked into the conference room, assuming he was just there to listen in. Besides, Tiger Fund had a precedent for this, so he didn't pay him any attention.
Just then.
A senior partner said slowly, "Robertson, let's just give up and leave. Thailand still has so many foreign exchange reserves and its attitude is so tough. It's not a wise move to go against them."
The senior partner put it rather euphemistically, but in fact, since the Thai government released two major announcements, they have already suffered significant losses in terms of overnight interbank lending rates.
Recently, due to the need to maintain a certain position, this loss has continued to worsen.
Upon hearing this, Robertson looked at the crowd and noticed that many of them nodded in agreement, clearly acknowledging the senior partner's statement.
In addition, according to information obtained from within the Quantum Fund, the fund has also reduced its position in Thai baht, which has led to a wavering attitude among its senior partners.
But ultimately, Robertson is not one to give up easily. Since withdrawing from the spot market, his positions in the futures market have remained unchanged, meaning he now has to pay an astonishing several million dollars in interest every day.
However, his insistence was clearly not accepted by everyone. This put Robertson in a dilemma.
At this moment, Jesse finally understood why Robertson had gotten angry. He didn't care about being shocking or vulgar, cleared his throat, and said loudly.
"We cannot give up our position in the Thai baht; the Thai government doesn't have much foreign exchange reserves!"
Upon hearing this, Robertson was the first to react, asking incredulously, "Do you know what you're saying?"
“I know exactly what I’m talking about, Mr. Robertson.”
At this moment, Jesse had never stood so upright, his expression was calm and composed, and his azure eyes shone with astonishing confidence.
The words shocked everyone, including Robertson.
This could be the most glorious moment of Jesse's life!
Jesse nodded with great satisfaction, then said something that shocked everyone: "I think the Bank of Thailand has cheated us, no, not only us, they've cheated the whole world!"
"What makes you say that? What evidence do you have?"
Jesse replied confidently, "It's very simple. Just look at the positions of Thai banks in the futures and forward markets, and you can estimate how much capital BOT has spent this time."
