With a low and pleasant electronic bell, Chen Yuanming opened his eyes. Reaching out to stop the alarm clock, he stretched out in bed, and his upper arm and back muscles immediately responded with a burst of soreness. Lactic acid buildup, the bitter fruit of overtraining yesterday.
Getting up from the soft mattress and moving his limbs a little, Chen Yuanming opened the heavy curtains in the bedroom. Behind a whole piece of floor-to-ceiling windows, there are towering concrete jungles. Although you can't hear any noise, the streets below dozens of floors are crowded with all kinds of vehicles and commuters waiting to cross the road. Different skin colors and ages are mixed into a mottled Ribbon, rushing towards their predetermined battlefield.
Looking from here, the skyscrapers in the center of the field of vision reflect the rising sunlight, like a pile of sculptures made of gold. There, the heart of American finance is thumping, and every flow of money makes an intoxicating sound. Wall Street on Manhattan Island, a temple that makes people in the financial industry all over the world go crazy.
Chen Yuanming took a deep breath. In his last life, he had never been able to go out of the country at all, let alone come to New York City and stand here to watch the legendary Manhattan Island. Therefore, even if he saw this scene every day for three months, he couldn't suppress the ups and downs in his chest. In the face of this huge financial empire, his assets and strength can only be said to be insignificant at present, and it is not as powerful as a drop of water. However, this feeling of unrestrained freedom is by no means experienced by the domestic tightening financial market.
It's only 1993, and in the next ten years, the New York Stock Exchange will usher in an ecstatic bull market, and various hedge funds and investment banks have developed rapidly in recent years, ushering in glory and prosperity. Although they will eventually hit a hard wall again, fall into a fall or panic, but it is not now, not at this moment. He once studied in textbooks, read biographies of countless people and records of the times. Opportunity is like a seductive siren singing, graceful but full of crises. Now he is in this era, and he has memories from the future. How could he not let his heart turmoil, he couldn't help himself.
Standing in front of the window and watching for a long time, Chen Yuanming moved his arms and turned to enter the bathroom next door. It's time to put in the day.
Dressed neatly and walked out of the bedroom, Chen Yuanming saw a man sitting on the sofa in the suite outside at a glance. This man is only in his early 30s, his hair is neatly shaved, his beard is cleanly shaved, his blue jaw is exposed, and his appearance is not handsome, but his calm posture reveals a pressing pressure, and he seems to be full of bows at any time. Take the string and fire a fatal blow at the enemy.
This is Zhang Gang, his current security consultant. He was born in the Siberian Tigers Special Forces of the Shenyang Military Region. He was accidentally injured in a mission and retired. Since his salary after retirement was not high and his family was difficult, Xiao Yun recommended him to him. After coming to the United States this time, the man was almost always by his side, and he could not stay in the guest room. In the end, he could only choose a presidential suite and let him live in an external guest room.
"Boss." Seeing Chen Yuanming's figure, Zhang just swiped and stood up.
The corners of Chen Yuanming's mouth twitched slightly, and every time he heard him call him that, he felt uncomfortable, but this man was a standard diehard, and he couldn't change his name no matter what, and he just gave him a hazy rich style.
"Brother Zhang, let's have breakfast first. I'll make an appointment later to talk."
On Wall Street, most transactions are communicated by telephone, but some people have to be interviewed directly. Today, Chen Yuanming met such a person. Sitting in the convertible Land Rover Defender, the hot and humid air of Manhattan blew into the car, Chen Yuanming leaned against the window, thinking about what was going on.
After coming to the United States, he did not choose short-term stocks, but directly put the money into Goldman Sachs Bank and started European bond transactions. It was not long after the 1992 sterling sniper case. By accurately grasping the situation, Soros used 100 million US dollars to short the pound, causing the price of the pound to fall below the 2778 mark. The British government used foreign exchange reserves worth 26.9 billion US dollars. Exit the European Exchange Rate System.
This battle made Soros a personal net profit of 6.5 billion US dollars, and also made him lead the Quantum Fund to become a world-renowned hedge fund. For this successful subversion of other countries' central banks, Wall Street people proudly call it "White Wednesday". However, the battle was not over, followed by operations on the Swedish krona and the Italian lira, and it was not until 1993 that the foreign exchange market gradually stopped.
But the foreign exchange market was spared, and bond trading became a hot spot, with investors roaming the continent like bloodthirsty great white sharks. Different from the gorgeous performance of sniping foreign exchange, bond trading is quiet, and many bystanders forget this fact. The Quantum Fund achieved a return of 63% in 1993 through its excellent investment in the bonds of France and other countries, which is not inferior to the 69% in 1992.
So the first time he arrived in the United States, Chen Yuanming cut into this whirlpool. 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 when converted into US dollars, it is only more than 20 million. Fortunately, the threshold for private fundraising for hedge funds was only $10,000 at this time, so the first time this lavish Chinese investor appeared at Goldman Sachs, someone smelled the limelight.
After a few months of big sales and big sales, someone finally knocked on the door.
After a slight vibration, Land Rover stopped by the road, and walked out of the bright office building, a young man of Chinese descent, about 25 years old, dressed in a very spiritual suit. Seeing Chen Yuanming and his car, the young man first showed a surprised expression.
"What a great car, the soft-top Defender just came on the market?"
This Land Rover has been on the market for less than a week in the United States, but Chen Yuanming has been looking forward to it for a long time. He will replace the previous Grand Cherokee immediately. Nothing can offset his car phobia like a convertible and a high chassis. It's just that such a car, among the conservative Bentleys, Mercedes-Benzes, and Lincolns, is inevitably a little out of tune with the atmosphere of Wall Street, and it is particularly eye-catching.
"Kevin." Chen Yuanming greeted him with a smile, "Why, have you been waiting for a long time?"
When he came to the United States, the first thing Chen Yuanming did was to find a translator who was proficient in Wall Street. He had learned some business English in his previous life, but it was useless for many years in this life. . So through the intermediary, he selected the top student who just graduated from Columbia Business School, Song Kevin.
The young man is very hardworking and belongs to the second generation of immigrants with his parents. The family situation is not very good. He went to the expensive Ivy League with scholarships and student loans. However, Wall Street is not very friendly to Chinese people. After a few interviews, he turned around. It fell under Chen Yuanming's eyelids and became his financial agent.
"Where, the other party has just arrived." Song Kaiwen smiled. He had long learned to take it lightly towards his young customer. When I was only a teenager, I dared to go alone on Wall Street with tens of millions of dollars, and I didn't consult a consultant for all investment intentions, so I cut into the chaos in Europe directly. Changed hands and sold, it seems to want to exit the bond market. He really can't guess the other party's mind, but the profit is really real, and there is no room for falsification. This is not a stupid boss. With this knowledge, Song Kevin will work harder when he starts working. Nowadays, a stable and promising job is not easy to find, and he must seize it.
Of course, Chen Yuanming's generous operation not only won the loyalty of his subordinates, but also hedge funds came directly to him. At this time, hedge funds were all private financing and needed to attract investors face-to-face. The Soros Quantum Fund shocked the entire investment industry. The well-known brokers of Goldman Sachs immediately became the hedge fund reserve army, and there are constantly various small funds. It was established, but the contact number was called one after another, but Chen Yuanming never nodded, until this time.
After gathering his mind, Song Kaiwen made a gesture of invitation and led Chen Yuanming into the building.
The interview was set up in an office building on Parker Park Avenue, Manhattan Island. It was just work at this time, and the office was busy, but the few people did not stop, and went straight to the elevator to their reserved conference room. Pushing open the door of the conference room, I saw two men stood up and walked up to them.
"Kevin, this is your young employer! Really young and promising!" The man in the lead showed a big smile and extended his hand friendly, without any contempt or doubt in his eyes, he gestured to Chen Yuanming so calmly.
Chen Yuanming smiled and shook his hands politely, "I heard Kevin mention you. Everyone on Wall Street knows your name, Mr. Robertson."
The two hands were clasped together, with an air of friendliness and kindness. Compared with the calmness of the other party, Chen Yuanming was more curious now, and looked at the man in front of him seriously. In all later financial textbooks, especially the chapter on hedge funds, except for Alfred Jones, the father of hedge funds, and George Soros, the financial tycoon, this is the most famous.
He founded the Tiger Fund, which is as famous as the Quantum Fund, and once surpassed all funds to become the hegemon of the hedge fund industry. It is very exciting to see such a big man in the financial industry in person.
It is very consistent with industry legends. This Mr. Robertson always has enough charisma and demeanor when facing potential customers who can attract. Polite perfect gesture.
After the host and guests were seated, the topic circled carelessly around the recent financial situation. It seemed that this was not a private financing interview, but a loose interview, or just a popular Wall Street cocktail party. It's just that during the chat, Mr. Robertson's eyes became brighter and brighter, especially when the two reached a high degree of consensus on the two stocks of General Instruments and Equity Life Insurance.
The small talk slowly got to the point from the outside, Robertson sat up straight, and asked seriously, "Now that the high-level chooses to withdraw from the European bond market, but has not cut into the New York securities, it seems that Mr. Chen has something else?"
Chen Yuanming smiled, "I can't talk about it, I just want to find an opportunity to change lines. Now my capital chain is relatively tight, and I still hope to do some profitable short-term transactions."
Robertson smiled slightly, "Short-term? Is it still old Europe..."

It's really enough to do it, everyone just have a good time watching it, if it's more honest, this article really can't go on QAQ
