No matter how the other party asked, no matter what moves this man and woman used, Zhang Tianxing had only one sentence.
"The market rises too much and it will fall, it falls too much and it will rise. This is the law of the market, and I am just a short-seller."
"We suspect your funds are illegally obtained. Please show us your fund transfer records." Finally, Jian had no choice but to use this trump card.
Hearing their exasperated laughter, Zhang Tianxing laughed, "Now if you ask me any more questions, I won't cooperate. Please wait a minute, my lawyer will be here soon."
Jian was amused to the point of laughter, "Do you know your current situation? You're still thinking about hiring a lawyer. That lawyer would have to be out of his mind to want to be your lawyer."
In Jian's opinion, no one who was targeted by the FBI had a good ending. In this country, the financial groups called the shots.
Just then, a man in a suit walked in. Seeing the situation in the room, he first bowed to Zhang Tianxing.
"Mr. Zhang Tianxing, hello. I am Jimmy from the Hamlin Law Firm, here to serve Mr. Zhang. Did I keep Mr. Zhang waiting?"
Zhang Tianxing shook his head, "Jimmy, you're here at the right time. These two are agents from the investigation bureau, and they want to investigate my transfer records."
"Detectives, I would like to see your credentials and your investigation order. Cooperating with the investigation is the sacred duty of every citizen, but no one can investigate a citizen without reason, otherwise you will tarnish the reputation of the investigation bureau."
Jian gave Zhang Tianxing a disgruntled look, then turned to the man and said, "Let's go. Zhang Tianxing, you wait. Don't let me catch you slipping."
"Agent Jian, I can file a complaint with the FBI for intimidating my client without cause. Your actions are not permitted by the investigation law and are not in compliance with procedural rules."
Jian trembled with anger but dared not say another word. People in Boston all knew that the most famous law firm here was Hamlin Law Firm, which was the Ivy League of the legal world.
Seeing the two leave, Jimmy glanced at their retreating backs. "Mr. Zhang, the investigation bureau will not give up easily. I advise you to be careful lately."
Zhang Tianxing nodded, "Lawyer Jimmy, I want to register a company to manage my assets in the United States, or buy a company. One with clear and transparent ownership."
"Okay, Mr. Zhang, as you wish. If you have a lot of money and need to avoid taxes, you will need to hire professionals."
"Hire the most professional accountants and bodyguards. Don't be afraid to spend money," Zhang Tianxing said with deep pockets.
Jimmy smiled, "No problem, Mr. Zhang. However, the news about you is spreading more and more. Do you need to take any action?"
"No need. People have their own mouths, let them say what they want," Zhang Tianxing waved his hand dismissively. Let them talk as they please, what does it matter to me? I'll live my own quiet life behind closed doors.
"Mr. Zhang, may I ask you a question as a private individual?" Jimmy couldn't suppress his curiosity and finally asked.
"Feel free to ask. I'm just a student," Zhang Tianxing said with a light smile.
"So, how much have you lost by shorting the NASDAQ?" Jimmy had long desired this answer. Zhang Tianxing's audacious short-selling of the NASDAQ, whether successful or not, had undoubtedly made him a hero in the eyes of many.
High art appeals to few, and truth is always held by the minority.
Well, buddy, I thought you were a good-looking and honest person, but I didn't expect you to be such a rogue.
"I lost about seventy million," Zhang Tianxing said with a wry smile. This matter is not over, is it? Everyone asks me. "If you ask me one more time, I will deduct your money."
Jimmy covered his mouth, "Boss Zhang, pretend I didn't ask just now." This boss is too terrifying, deducting money at the drop of a hat, with no semblance of a boss's demeanor at all.
"By the way, boss, you're losing so much money now, why do you still need a company?" Jimmy couldn't understand. Zhang Tianxing had already lost seventy million, and only thirty million US dollars remained from the original one hundred million US dollars.
In this day and age, Jimmy couldn't think of a way to quickly earn seventy million US dollars. If he were a lawyer, he would have to take on such a large case to receive such a hefty fee.
Poverty limits my imagination. I've embarrassed Hamlin Law Firm.
However, he always kept the boss's instructions in mind. "This is my phone number. I'm going to handle things now. If there's anything, just call me, and I'll rush over immediately." Jimmy said and went to busy himself with company matters.
Zhang Tianxing sighed helplessly. Damn it, people now judge heroes by their success or failure. I'm just temporarily at a paper loss, and I haven't liquidated my positions. How can this be called losing money?
In Zhang Tianxing's view, no transaction is made with the purpose of profit. As long as it aligns with his understanding, he will act.
One can only earn money within their scope of understanding. Money earned by luck will eventually be returned by skill.
If the conditions are met, act; if not, rest. This is a qualified trader.
There are no traders who win every battle in this world, only operators who strictly follow discipline.
As long as discipline is strictly adhered to, and significant gains with small losses are achieved, one is an excellent trader.
The NASDAQ has risen so much for so long. Zhang Tianxing predicted that the NASDAQ would definitely be adjusted this time. The only concern now is when the correction will occur and whether Zhang Tianxing can hold on until victory.
He entered the game too early. If he had entered the game now, it would have been wonderful. There are no ifs in life. The only thing Zhang Tianxing can do is face it calmly. Even if he had to do it all over again, Zhang Tianxing would still say, "I'm here only to short the NASDAQ."
As long as the shorts don't die, the bulls will continue. Perhaps Zhang Tianxing's audacious short-selling angered the entire US investment banking community.
"In our country, an Eastern kid audaciously shorted, and he hasn't even been liquidated yet. I'll say this here: everyone present is responsible."
"The main culprit is Morgan Stanley. If they hadn't provided the tips, this Eastern kid wouldn't have been so arrogant."
"I have a proposal. Let's all put in our effort tomorrow, and let the NASDAQ gap up at the opening, then push it up even higher, directly liquidating Zhang Tianxing. What do you say?"
"That's a good proposal. Then we'll go all out tomorrow and see if we can make Zhang Tianxing lose all his capital."
"Haha, it's settled then. Tomorrow, internet technology companies will go all out, followed by biotechnology, and we'll set a new historical high."
The major investment banks set the tone. Let Zhang Tianxing jump around for two more days, and after these two days, he'll be sleeping on the streets.
