Chapter 196: Matto Walls's Little Thoughts
"Walls, there's no need to be so angry! Although we didn't say hello to you this time, we did it for your own good! Short selling is very risky. If there is a loss, it will have a huge impact on you! You don't want to affect your position and voice in the senior management of Goldman Sachs because of investment losses, do you?" Leon John was quite calm in the face of Mato Walls' questioning.
Hearing this, Matto Walls was helpless for a moment. After all, they had just shorted the Ruble and tricked their rival, Jacqueline Bernard, into giving them a hard time. If he also lost money from the short-selling plan, wouldn't that bring the good situation back to square one? All the previous efforts would go to waste!
…
Fortunately, Mato Walsh quickly reacted. Although the other party's reasons were sufficient, as an ally in the same camp, they should have informed him of their actions! Such "unauthorized actions" without any notice were obviously intended to marginalize him. This was not what she wanted to see!
Under the strong request of Mato Walsh, Leon John had to patiently tell the other party the details of their operation one by one, and repeatedly emphasized that Zhang Junfeng had said that the risks involved were very high and the operation needed to be very cautious. At the same time, he also did not recommend that they invest huge amounts of money at once, so as not to attract strong intervention from the Hong Kong authorities.
Listening to Leon John's explanation on the phone, Mato Walls nodded in agreement. Although he knew that shorting a region's stock market was extremely risky, he was still quite envious of their achievement of making tens of millions of dollars in an instant.
However, since the initiator of Zhang Junfeng's action repeatedly reminded us not to invest too much money in short selling at once, it should not be a big problem to invest 100 million or 200 million US dollars like Zhang Junfeng and his friends to eat meat and drink soup. When he thought of this, Mato Walsh felt that his idea was more feasible. After ending the call with Leon John, he quickly called his trusted subordinates to prepare to mobilize a group of funds to follow the international speculators who were shorting the Hang Seng Index this time to enter the market and share a piece of the pie!
Seeing that Mato Walsh on the other side hung up the phone in a hurry, Leon John was also somewhat helpless. Although he repeated all the words that Zhang Junfeng had told him before, it was unknown how much this guy had listened to. After all, according to his understanding of this guy, it was obviously impossible to let him just stand there and watch!
But I hope this guy can control himself and not get carried away by the short-term benefits and bring trouble to himself! ...
Putting the matter of Mato Walsh aside for the moment, Leon John recalled that he had to tell Zhang Junfeng about the situation in Hong Kong before, so he picked up the phone beside him and quickly dialed Zhang Junfeng.
Now he is even more curious about Zhang Junfeng's next plan. Will he add fuel to the fire as planned in the beginning and continue to expand their profits, or will he change his mind midway and quit while he is ahead?

Hyundai Motor Company, meeting room interior.
Zhang Junfeng looked at his partner Zheng Mengjiu and the two brothers Zheng Menggen and Zheng Mengyu beside him, as if he didn't know the purpose of the other party inviting him here, and asked Zheng Mengjiu with a smile.
Zheng Mengjiu, who was anxious to get support from Zhang Junfeng, was not vague. He directly explained the ideas of him and his two brothers, and made it clear that he hoped to get Zhang Junfeng's full support. When he successfully defeated Zheng Mengxian and took the position of acting chairman from him, he would give Zhang Junfeng a generous reward!
Hearing what Zheng Mengjiu said, Zhang Junfeng asked with some embarrassment, "This is an internal dispute of Hyundai Group. Although I have cooperated with President Mengjiu a lot, it may be inappropriate to intervene rashly, right?"
Hearing what Zhang Junfeng said, the two brothers Zheng Menggen and Zheng Mengyu on the opposite side immediately lost their composure. If Zhang Junfeng didn't join them, it would be extremely difficult for the three of them to defeat the flatterer Lao Wu!
"No, we have to get Zhang Junfeng to join us!" The two exchanged glances, and the third brother Zheng Menggen spoke first, "What are you talking about, Mr. Zhang? You and Brother Mengjiu are partners, and naturally both sides have the same interests. Now that Zheng Mengxian is in power, he will definitely take action against us brothers!"
"Once he takes action against Hyundai Motor Company, Mr. Zhang's interests will inevitably be affected. This is extremely difficult to avoid..."
"The third brother is right. According to the character of the fifth brother, he will definitely attack us brothers. Once he issues an order to make some adjustments as the acting chairman of the group, I am afraid that even if I am the president of Hyundai Motor, it will be difficult for me to protect Mr. Zhang's investment in the company and his due interests."
"Of course, if Mr. Zhang can lend us a helping hand, then after we take over the management rights of Hyundai Group, Mr. Zhang will be our Hyundai Group's guest of honor. If you have any needs, just let us know, as long as it is within the capabilities of our Hyundai Group!"
In order to quickly convince Zhang Junfeng, a powerful partner, to stand on their side and help them deal with Zheng Mengxian, Zheng Mengjiu decisively offered the biggest chip he could promise at the moment.
He believed that even if Zhang Junfeng had some ideas, he would eventually stand on his side and support him to take the position because of practical interests!
After all, Zhang Junfeng and Zheng Mengxian had no intersection before, but he had a good cooperation with Zheng Mengjiu. When investing and discussing cooperation, it is definitely safer to cooperate with familiar people; as for cooperation with strangers, the initial negotiations and the ownership of benefits require repeated consultations and negotiations, which is time-consuming and laborious, and you have to be on guard against the other party setting up a trap to trap you.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Just as Zheng Mengjiu expected, Zhang Junfeng agreed to cooperate with them after considering for a moment. Zhang Junfeng repeatedly stated that he would not easily come forward unless necessary, and that all support in terms of funds and channels would be provided.
After receiving a positive response from Zhang Junfeng, the three brothers Zheng Mengjiu were in a good mood. The problem of funds was solved. The next step was to promise huge benefits and persuade the executives and directors of the group to support Zheng Mengjiu. In this way, Zheng Mengxian, the acting chairman, would become a puppet even if he was still in office! (End of this chapter)
