Chapter 174 Financial Guru
As the honorary vice president, Zheng Yongwen always wore a cold face, speaking unhurriedly, appearing confident.
Especially his eyes, sharp, deep, and stern, as if everyone owed him millions.
That was the first impression.
Of course, the first impression wasn't great, but after hearing the honorary vice president elaborate on his expectations for the financial storm in the next few minutes,
Su Yehao couldn't help but click his tongue after listening carefully.
He had to admit that this guy was indeed capable, his grasp of the future situation was too precise. He even predicted that after this financial crisis, the mainland manufacturing market would enjoy a wave of dividends and have the opportunity to become the biggest winner.
For a long time, Su Yehao had been messing around, and many opportunities were clearly in front of him, but due to insufficient ability and funds, he could only watch them slip away.
For example, as early as when the incident first happened, he knew that Soros would succeed and make a lot of money.
He also knew that the financial storm would sweep through Hong Kong, leaving a mess behind.
Although he wasn't lacking opportunities to make money, patiently waiting would always bring a chance to get rich. Seizing a few of the internet companies that would become popular in his memory, he might even become the richest man in the future.
But getting rich is better sooner rather than later. If he had more funds on hand, many plans could be carried out in advance.
For example, expanding the scale of tAt Network Company, hiring more people, organizing the development of portal websites and search engines, and taking the opportunity to seize the mainland market.
Or, with greater ambition, directly targeting the global market and messing around in Silicon Valley.
Su Yehao, this half-baked guy, admired professional talents with vision and ability, and became more interested in this lecture on finance...
So.
After class, Su Yehao asked the little girl to wait and walked directly to Vice President Zheng Yongwen.
He tentatively asked:
"Your theoretical experience is solid, and many ideas coincide with my guesses. But theory is theory, and practical operation is another matter. Vice President Zheng, if you were to actually do it, how confident are you?"
"...Confidence, it's either making money or losing money, what's the point of saying it?"
For the sake of Su Yehao's aunt, Vice President Zheng Yongwen was slightly more amiable, and added with a smile:
"You wouldn't really want me to take action and manage your 50 million, would you? In 1992, I was still working at Hang Seng Group, following Soros and them, earning more than 900 million Hong Kong dollars for the company in one day. The team received a bonus of 10 million. I know you are also trying to invest, but you are not good enough."
Su Yehao subconsciously felt that he was bragging, and continued to ask: "I do appreciate your ability, how about it, are you interested?"
When talking to smart people, Su Yehao subconsciously chose to put on airs, otherwise he was worried about being underestimated.
Don't look at his daily life being quite laid-back, at least he has accumulated confidence that he didn't have before, relying on his wealthy family background. Some things have changed naturally.
At this moment, Su Yehao, playing the role of a rich young master, looked the part.
Vice President Zheng Yongwen, said bluntly:
"Thank you, but I don't need your appreciation. If you want me to work for you, I'm afraid you are not qualified enough. Fifty million Hong Kong dollars is too little. I'm worried that one leverage will make you cry. It would be more like 50 million US dollars or pounds. If I want to go back to work, those investment banks and fund companies in Hong Kong will come to me with money. Now I have a public office, I don't have time to play with you."
Su Yehao was given the cold shoulder, but he didn't care at all.
Talent.
People with ability are arrogant, which always makes them easier to accept.
People who play finance like to add leverage. How could Su Yehao not know this? The other party said he would cry, the probability is not high, but if he loses 30 to 40 million, he would indeed feel distressed for a long time.
Su Yehao's style of doing things can be said to be too stable.
In the past half a year, he has mainly been competing with Yahoo and his father's real estate business. The only "gamble" was investing a few million Hong Kong dollars in tAt Network Company. Even this made Su Yehao患得患失 (huàn dé huàn shī, worry about gains and losses), always feeling that he might lose hundreds of millions of yuan twenty years later.
Expenses of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands no longer feel like much, but seven figures still make him think it's a huge sum.
The so-called asking Vice President Zheng Yongwen to help manage 50 million Hong Kong dollars is currently just a preliminary test. Whether to invest or how to invest...still needs to be considered.
Therefore, hearing the other party directly refuse, Su Yehao was very calm and asked, "Public office? Working for where?"
"The Hong Kong government. They might let me take over as the chief financial advisor. Perhaps I will have to compete with Soros. I am very busy. In May, the international hot money's attack failed. It was more like a simple test. From my understanding of these people, they will not give up. Even if the exchange rate is maintained, the real estate market and the stock market will at least be injured. This is in line with their purpose of causing destruction."
Vice President Zheng Yongwen packed his things, speaking in a light tone, but the information revealed was unusual.
After Su Yehao learned about it, his eyebrows gradually rose.
He finally realized that he had stumbled upon a real financial big shot. He had previously suffered from a lack of information and underestimated the person in front of him.
If he didn't have some real skills, how could he sit in the position of chief financial advisor?
At this critical juncture, if not a general on the battlefield, at least a strategist like Zhuge Liang.
When it comes to financial warfare, hundreds of millions of US dollars are nothing, and billions of US dollars are not enough.
To capture a financial center like Hong Kong, it should start with at least tens of billions of US dollars, with no upper limit.
And Thailand easily chose to lie flat, and the exchange rate has fallen by about 30%. The accumulation of many years of development has been destroyed in one day.
Involving so much money, ordinary people would not have the opportunity to take over the position of chief advisor, let alone control the situation.
He got excited on the spot.
Su Yehao changed his approach and asked:
"President Zheng, are you married? My aunt is still single, running around the world, as if healing from emotional wounds. Maybe you'll take over, but you haven't taken over yet. Fifty million Hong Kong dollars is not enough. I can squeeze another...about fifteen million, just to short the Taiwan dollar and the Korean won. Anyway, they won't rise at this time. The risk should be okay."
It's easy to talk to smart people. Vice President Zheng Yongwen immediately understood that he was trying to build a relationship through his aunt.
He told Su Yehao with a smile:
"Before, you called me Vice President Zheng, now you call me President Zheng. Are young people so realistic now? The foreign exchange field has the largest leverage, some people add a hundred times. How do you know it won't rebound? When it comes to exchange rates, no one dares to underestimate them. The exchange rate fluctuates little usually, but the situation is different now. There are evil winds everywhere. A short-term fluctuation may directly close the position. It's even worse if you don't have time to close the position. You'll lose so much that you have to sell your father's building to pay off the debt. Do you think you're trading stocks?"
Su Yehao immediately began to back down again.
Due to a lack of understanding, it is difficult to find the confidence to support his belief.
After all, he only knows the general direction, and even the general direction of the future trend is only half-understood, very vague and scattered.
Just then.
Vice President Zheng Yongwen continued, "But, it can be operated more steadily. If you have the courage to lose all 50 million Hong Kong dollars, I can take you along when I invest, symbolically charging you 5% of the profit. I won't charge you if you lose money. Isn't that too much?"
Agree...or not agree.
Su Yehao was in a dilemma for a while. Considering the current situation, the economic deterioration in Southeast Asia as a whole is a foregone conclusion.
Shorting now, the winning rate is barely 70%, and the possibility of losing money is not small.
Thinking of how much he has earned on Yahoo stocks in the past few months, and that the 20 million promised by his father is about to arrive.
He gritted his teeth, and was rarely generous, reaching out his hand and saying:
"Okay! I lived in Casino, 1997 for almost half a year this year, and never went to the casino once. I'll be impulsive today. If I win, I'll buy a bag for my girlfriend, and if I lose, I'll honestly continue to start a business..."
