Chapter 152 What is this Zhou Ming going to do?
Bow to thank Valavasha for her support and support. Thank you Mo Xiaobao for her three monthly tickets.
The World Trade Center is a very famous financial building in Brighton. It is not only some of Brighton companies, but also many famous companies in six states in the entire New England region. They are willing to choose their headquarters here.
Like many other skyscrapers, the Brighton World Trade Center also has elevators to different floors. However, on November 26, when all the working staff came to work as usual, they suddenly found that strict security measures were added to the entrance of the elevator above the 60th floor. Many live-fire security guards stood at the door, staring at every pedestrian coming and going.
Something must have happened again. You know that those rich people are so afraid of death. They always think that someone will kill their lives. This is because the money in their accounts is taken from us.
People passing by whispered speculation, because in the past, although the high-rise buildings were also restricted areas, it was more for the safety of the building, not just for the rich people working in high-rise buildings. However, sometimes, when many security guards appeared at the elevator entrance, many rich people were coming here for meetings. The building manager did this to prevent accidents.
Most people just take a look and go to work, but some people are curious, or with some fantasies or a reporter, they will stay below to see what is going on.
It was ten o'clock in the morning when someone finally passed the security check and entered the elevator above the 60th floor, which made those who were waiting finally excited.
Look, that is Leo, chairman of New Dawn Investment Company, Martin, chairman of St. Martin, chairman of Caribbean Investment Company, Jammel, chairman of Louis Investment Company, and Ceo Madison, my God, these people are very famous financial investors in our Brighton. Why are they all here today? Is there any important investment meeting to be held at the World Trade Center?
I think it is very likely. After all, the subprime mortgage crisis is now in the financial industry, and the entire financial industry is laying off employees, but this is not a good way to solve the crisis. Instead, it will aggravate the crisis. Especially after the bankruptcy crisis of Brook Investment Company, they have to consider themselves more. And I heard that they have been discussing several investment projects worth over 100 million US dollars before, and today's meeting must be related to this aspect.
This is a big news
These onlookers enthusiastically analyzed, but the financial investors had already taken the elevator upstairs. At the same time, if these people could be quiet, they could hear the sound of helicopters flying in.
Seats are one of the most important financial buildings in Brighton, the top floor of the World Trade Center is designed with a helicopter apron.
Anyone with some common sense knows one truth: it is easy to buy a plane, but it is difficult to fly.
This means that a private helicopter is only hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. Anyone who can get above the manager level in the financial circle can basically afford at least one private helicopter, but in fact, few people buy it. The problem is that ordinary cities are no-fly zones, and the amount of money required to find a way to get a helicopter flight permit is not much lower than buying a private helicopter. In addition, daily maintenance and repair are also a big problem.
It is precisely for these reasons that only those who can walk around in private helicopters are rich people left. And those who can have such high profile are only Christophe, the patriarch of Adams. When the helicopter stopped on the roof, he immediately got off the plane and came to the conference room on the roof.
At this time, the financial investors of Jammel Madison were already waiting here. Although they were already big shots in the eyes of ordinary people and the media, when facing the patriarch of a big family like Christo, they could only sit there as cautiously as elementary school students, waiting to ask Christo questions.
Christo sat in the seat without any hesitation. He looked around and nodded slightly and said: Since everyone has arrived, let’s talk about the situation. Since your CDS contract was sold to that Chinese, has anything happened in the CDS market?
Faced with this problem, everyone looked at each other, and finally, Jamair, chairman of Caribbean Investment Company, replied: No, and since you sir, you have looked at us last time, we have also thought about what conspiracy that Chinese might use these contracts to engage in, but we have never seen that Chinese in the Patton Tavern again in the past two days.
With Jammel's answer, the others shook their heads and said no.
Christo raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet and said: I already know your answer, that's it today, you can go back.
As he said that, Christo was about to stand up. His action shocked everyone. No one expected that Christo would leave with just one question. This was too inexplicable. Although there was a gap between everyone's identities, they were all chairman of various investment companies and had a great status in Brighton. They didn't say much.
Christo seemed to see the surprise and dissatisfaction in these people's hearts. He pointed to the middle-aged man who came with him and said: If you have anything else, just tell my housekeeper.
Leaving this sentence, Christo ignored these people and left the conference room on his own.
However, after leaving, Cristo did not leave directly by helicopter, but went to the room next to rest. After only a while, his butler also came in.
Mr., according to the information feedback from the investors just now, all their companies are currently operating well, and all businesses are proceeding in an orderly manner. They have also brought their company's financial statements.
The butler's words came to an abrupt end here, because he could see that although Christo took the documents he gave him, he threw them on the table and didn't take a look. Obviously he was not interested in these things, so he asked: Sir, are you still worried about that Chinese?
It was not until this question that Christo responded. He looked up at the butler and said: What are you thinking about that Chinese? Why did he buy so many CDS contracts in the market? With the subprime mortgage crisis he created, the value of those contracts themselves is getting lower and lower. Everyone in the market is selling, and the prices are also falling again and again. Why do he still have to buy such things?
If he intends to buy these contracts and sell them, I don't think it is profitable to do so, because no matter how low the price is, someone will have to buy them. If there is no one caring about it, there will be no transactions. And more importantly, he does not seem to be planning to sell them, so what is he going to do? Christo frowned and asked.
Perhaps he was planning to hold these contracts, just like he cheated out of Brook, he provided the mortgaged properties to those minorities by renting them, then collected rent from those minorities, and promised to automatically own the property after a certain year of renting. This method can bring him very generous benefits in the future.
The housekeeper then said: As far as I know, the prices of these CDS contracts are about five times higher than the current selling price. Suppose that the Chinese buys a contract of 200 million US dollars, then in ten years, his 200 million US dollars can become one billion US dollars. This is definitely a very cost-effective transaction, so I believe that the Chinese will make such a decision this time.
You also mentioned that it was just that maybe, after all, the CDS contract lasted too long, and his credit rating was also declining after the subprime mortgage crisis. Even many large insurance companies were unwilling to take this risk, let alone the Chinese. I believe he would never do this. This is his vision, and more importantly, my own intuition. Christo said.
The housekeeper said a little puzzledly: Please be honest, sir, I don’t understand why you think so. He is just a very ordinary Chinese.
But half a year ago, I could not believe that subprime loans with credit ratings of A plus would change, and I could not believe that Brook Investment Company would face bankruptcy as a result. Christo reminded his housekeeper.
That might be just an accident, because no one expected that the Chinese could convince those minorities to give up their houses and credit and use this method to oppress Brooke. In addition, Brooke's idiot made unforgivable mistakes, which would lead to the final result. The housekeeper said, but now it is different, these CDS contracts are absolutely safe.
Christo waved his hand and signaled the housekeeper to go out. He placed all the company's property reports on his desk. Looking at these companies, Christo still had the only one thought in his mind: what exactly does Zhou Ming want to do.
In fact, since Christo learned that Zhou Ming had bought a CDS contract of more than $200 million in Patton Tavern, he has been thinking about this question, but there is always no answer.
At this moment, Christo actually regretted that he made the decision to avenge Robert. Although he had done something very guilty when he was young, he kept to Robert and developed a very annoying temper. This time, he even attacked Zhou Ming just to hear him call him father.
But at that time I just thought I was just an ordinary Chinese, so how could I have thought that I would have the result today?
But there is no turning back when the arrow is drawn. Since the matter has been done, it will be useless to regret it. Even if I ask myself to do it again, I will definitely agree to Robert. The only thing I need to pay attention to is Zhou Ming's technique. After all, there is almost no tolerance for the things Zhou Ming did. As long as I destroy any of them, all Zhou Ming's plans will not be completed.
However, no matter how Christo thinks, he can't avoid Zhou Ming's hurdle: what he wants to do
Chapter completed!
