Chapter 232: Mato Wals's Hope
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Junfeng and Leon John saw Mato Wals appearing in the video. He looked obviously exhausted and his face looked a little ugly.
Seeing his partner like this, Zhang Junfeng showed a meaningful smile on his face. According to the information obtained by Leon John, during this opportunity to short the Hang Seng Index, Mato Walsh did not listen to Zhang Junfeng's reminder and decisively cleared his position and retreated.
As a result, when the market suddenly changed, the withdrawal was not timely, and the US$200 million used to short the Hang Seng Index not only failed to maintain the profits, but even the principal suffered a certain degree of loss (approximately a loss of more than US$30 million).
Although such a failed investment case would not cause any serious damage to Mato Walls, it still undermined his prestige and voice among the top management.
…
"... Zhang, your prediction was correct. I should have retreated earlier instead of coveting those benefits and putting myself in danger. If... someone could remind me later, maybe I wouldn't..."
Mato Walsh was also quite emotional. Who could have imagined that the short sellers who had previously had the upper hand would be so powerfully defeated by the Hong Kong officials in such a short period of time, and were even suppressed to the point where they had no power to fight back.
"...Wols, let's make it clear in advance! This matter cannot be blamed on me. I called you before and told you Zhang's opinion!"
"I didn't believe it before, but Zhang's predictions are so accurate. I just cashed out those futures contracts, and the price plummeted in the afternoon. This is simply a miracle! I successfully cashed out at the highest point of return. It's a perfect investment~!"
Leon John quickly spoke up to clarify that he did not want to be forced to take the blame by his former boss, Mato Walls, and become the scapegoat.
Seeing Leon John speak so straightforwardly, Mato Walsh paused, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally. Although he wanted to pass the buck, this guy was too cunning. He reacted so quickly?! ...
Matto Walsh's little trick naturally did not escape the eyes of Zhang Junfeng and Leon John, but everyone knew it at the moment and did not expose it to embarrass the other party.
Leon John's trust in Zhang Junfeng has reached a new level. Just now, Zhang Junfeng said with a smile that the unhappy Mato Walls might force the blame on others, saying that their notification was "not timely enough" or "not firm enough". He didn't take it seriously at first, but now it seems that he was "predictable"!
If he thought Zhang Junfeng might be a wizard who could foresee the future before, then even if Zhang Junfeng said he had superpowers to sense things in advance, Leon John would believe it. It was too mysterious! "It's just a coincidence. At first, I just thought that the Hong Kong government would definitely not stand idly by when the Hang Seng Index fell so badly. I didn't expect them to act so quickly. We didn't have time to react..." Zhang Junfeng was very humble. Although he knew that this would happen, he didn't want to be remembered by Mato Walsh.
Anyway, he has done everything he should have said and reminded. If some people lose money because they failed to do so, it cannot be blamed on him!
…
Strictly speaking, the advance of this financial sniping war was beyond Zhang Junfeng's expectation. It was not until Soros openly called out in the media that he realized that even the final game had been greatly advanced. Fortunately, Zhang Junfeng knew the final result, so he forced the order to bet on the secret operation of going long on the Hang Seng Index, even though Jin Zhengtai was questioning that Zhang Junfeng's head was stuck in the door.
Fortunately, this wave of risky bets also brought extremely rich returns! The 1.5 billion US dollars invested by Zhang Junfeng brought him a super high return of 1.85 billion US dollars, and the 300 million US dollars forcibly raised by KB Bank also brought him 370 million US dollars! This also means that after Zhang Junfeng repays the loans from JPMorgan Chase and Goldman Sachs, including the previous World Cup betting profits, there will be a huge amount of nearly 2.3 billion US dollars left!
With this money as a foundation, it would be no problem for Zhang Junfeng to take over the subsidiaries of Yuetian Group. Even if he subsequently invests in Internet technology companies, he can still get a big piece of the pie! …
After hearing Zhang Junfeng's "comfort", Mato Wals in the camera looked better, but when he thought of the actual loss, he felt a little pain. He had caught up with the investment opportunity this time, but he was ruined by his greed. It was really... good things (cards) are too much (bad) to be beaten! "... Zhang, I want to ask, do you have any subsequent investment projects? If possible, I hope you can 'remind' me. ... This incident caused me to suffer some losses, and I need other projects to make up for the losses..." After thinking for a while, Mato Wals made his request to Zhang Junfeng.
In Mato Walsh's opinion, his talent and ability in investment are indeed somewhat poor. He is easily blinded by the huge profits in front of him and subconsciously ignores the potential risks. If he wants to increase profits through other investments in a short period of time to make up for the previous losses, he still has to rely on Zhang Junfeng, the "investment god"! ...
Hearing Mato Walsh asking about Zhang Junfeng's new investment project, Leon John was also very anxious. If there was a chance to make a fortune again, he must follow up decisively and firmly grasp Zhang Junfeng's investment ride. "Opportunities are rare and never come back!" After all, when it comes to money, no one would complain about making too much!
Seeing that both of them were asking him about the next stage of investment projects, Zhang Junfeng pondered for a while, then selected two or three of the Internet companies he was optimistic about, mentioned their names, and said that they could buy and hold them for about a year, and the annualized rate of return should be around 20%-30%. However, he could not guarantee what the return would be after the investment was held for more than a year.
Hearing Zhang Junfeng's words, the two smiled happily. Opportunities like shorting the Hang Seng Index are not always available. Ordinary investments are generally 5-8%, and those that exceed 15% are already considered excellent investment projects.
Now there are projects that can guarantee a steady profit of 20%-30%. You must get on board as soon as possible. You can make money just by lying down. For the rest, just follow the instructions of Zhang Junfeng, the "old driver". Don't be too careless!
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
