Chapter 181 Walls: I Want to Make Progress So Much (Update)

Just last week, the top brass at the headquarters successfully approved the investment plan he submitted to short the Ruble. Under the decision of President Henry Paulson, Goldman Sachs will make a heavy investment of US$8 billion for this investment plan.

Matto Walls, who had been so proud at the high-level meeting before, looked rather unhappy. He seemed very surprised that he could come up with a better investment plan, and was also dissatisfied that the president would fully support his plan.

But so what? In this competition for investment proposals, Jacqueline Bernard had the upper hand after all. Matto Walls was just a guy who got lucky temporarily. How could he be his opponent? ! ...

Just as Jacqueline Bernard was proud of his investment plan, in the vice president's office on the other side, Matto Walls was chatting enthusiastically with Zhang Junfeng who was far away in Korea.

"Zhang, are you saying that we can enter the market and short Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index next month? But now those international speculators are almost silent, and the Hang Seng Index is still rising slowly. According to the current trend, the Hang Seng Index may rise back to above 8,000 points by June..." Mato Walsh was still a little hesitant about Zhang Junfeng's proposal just now.

After all, shorting a region's stock market index is no joke. The funds involved are often hundreds of millions or even millions of dollars. If they make a wrong step, they are likely to lose all their money and not even get their principal back! Zhang Junfeng on the other end of the phone was quite calm, "Of course I am serious, but when we start shorting next month, we will have more shorting orders, and each shorting fund will be controlled at around 1-2 million US dollars. We have to create a feeling that foreign financial institutions are ready to move..."

“Once they take action, we can take advantage of the situation to add more chips, and even use leverage to continue shorting the Hang Seng Index in the futures market. By early August, we can leave the market early…”

Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, Mato Wals nodded in agreement. Although he didn't know why Zhang Junfeng reminded him to leave the market in early August at the end, Zhang Junfeng was so sure, so he just followed his instructions! Anyway, the gold medal investment consultant was Zhang Junfeng, a young guy who was too young. There must be a reason why he could reap so much in multiple investments, and they were in the same camp. A smart man like Zhang Junfeng would definitely not make stupid moves that would make him lose money.

…

After talking about business, Matto Walls, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but talk to Zhang Junfeng about Jacqueline Bernard's investment plan on shorting the Ruble. He also specifically mentioned that the president would mobilize 8 billion US dollars to short the Ruble. At this time, a burst of sneer came from Zhang Junfeng's side.

"Haha, if that's true, then Goldman Sachs is going to suffer a big setback on this investment! Russia is not like those small countries in Asia. If they are pushed to the limit, they will dare to overturn the table~!"

Hearing Zhang Junfeng's words, Mato Walsh smiled knowingly. He didn't quite understand Zhang Junfeng's reverse operation and what he meant by "helping" his competitors. He even worried that Zhang Junfeng might have other ideas and wanted to find a second partner at Goldman Sachs.

But now it seems that Zhang Junfeng's move is likely to directly kill his competitor, Jacqueline Bernard! Even if things really go as Zhang Junfeng expected, Goldman Sachs will probably be greatly affected, and may even suffer a serious loss in this investment project~!

"... Zhang, do you think I should step forward to clean up the mess when their investment fails..." Mato Walls thought about what might happen next and soon had an idea. If he could step forward like a "savior", he should be able to get praise and support from all the senior executives, right?

However, his "slightly naive" idea was quickly rejected by Zhang Junfeng. "Walls, have you forgotten that Goldman Sachs will push forward its IPO plan next year? Instead of wasting our funds on helping Goldman Sachs get through the difficult times, we might as well buy more shares after it goes public~!"

"As long as we own enough shares, we will have a certain say in the board of directors. By then, it will be very likely that we will be able to nominate you to become the new president of Goldman Sachs!"

"And if these current executives, including President Henry Paulson, don't make big mistakes, how can you have the opportunity to pull them off the throne and replace them? Of course, if you don't have any further plans, then just ignore what I said. If you are willing to be a good guy and get useless support, go ahead!"

Zhang Junfeng, who was more clear-headed, quickly pointed out the key point. For Mato Walsh, who was now eager to succeed in becoming the top leader, it was not the most important thing to win over other people to become his supporters. Instead, it was the most important thing for him to continue to be cautious in his words and deeds and ensure that he did not make mistakes.

When Russia realizes that something is not right, he will personally step in and overturn the table. After all the international speculators who are "stirring up trouble" in the currency exchange rate market have been buried alive on the spot, both Jacques Bernardus who proposed the plan and President Henry Paulson who approved the plan will become the target of public accusations and criticism.

After all, Goldman Sachs' money didn't come out of thin air. Much of it was raised through issuing bonds and opening investment funds. If there really was such a huge loss, resigning would be considered polite! ...

Mato Walsh smiled awkwardly after hearing what Zhang Junfeng said. He had only been thinking about getting as much support from the top executives as possible. Only in this way could he consolidate his position, and he almost forgot something more important.

When Goldman Sachs goes public next year and switches from a partnership system to a shareholding system, whoever holds more company shares will have greater say. The rules of the game will change completely!
