Rebirth 76: Industrial Internet Empire

An ordinary business building on Wall Street in New York.

Quantum Corporation is located here. Compared with other magnificent private equity companies, Quantum Corporation is inconspicuous at all and even looks a little downcast...

Although Quantum Company is headquartered in New York, it is exactly the same as Qianhai Asset Management Company. Almost all of its investors are non-U.S. foreign investors, and even the place of registration is the same. It chose to register offshore in Curacao in order to avoid Supervision.

But this did not prevent Quantum Company from creating the myth of a hedge fund. Starting from US$400 million, it took 23 years for the company's net worth to reach US$60 billion.

Quantum Fund is obviously the one with the best performance among the five funds under Quantum Company. Quantum Company has been able to achieve a series of impressive results, and fund manager Stanley Zuckenmiller is indispensable.

"Dong dong dong..."

After a few gentle knocks on the door, assistant Annabell walked in.

"Mr. Stanley, Robertson from Tiger Fund is waiting for you in the reception room! He seems a little unhappy..." Annabell said cautiously.

As expected, Julian Robertson said angrily as soon as he saw Zuckenmiller: "Stanley, I need you to give me an explanation. You always told me that the time is not yet ripe, but what is going on now? Why is this whole thing Are there any changes in the stock and foreign exchange markets in Southeast Asia?”

"Julian, getting angry won't solve any problems. We are allies and should trust each other. According to the information I got, someone took action before us. The specific situation will be known soon!" Zhukenmiller spread his hands. explained.

"If you hadn't delayed it again and again, how could we have been taken advantage of?" Robertson is a famous Wall Street temperament, and his trading style is also like the name of the fund he manages.

At this moment, Anna flashed in and whispered in Zhukenmiller's ear: "We found out. The ones who are ahead of us are Qianhai Asset Management and Zongheng Investment, as well as some investment companies that are closely related to them!"

"Zongheng Investment? A subsidiary of Zhiyuan Group?" Zhukenmiller asked with a frown.

"It was Zongheng Investment that took action before us?" Julian Robertson also asked hurriedly.

"Yes, there is also Qianhai Asset Management..."

"Farke! It's them again!" Robertson's eyes flashed with anger.

"Seven years ago, in the battle of the New York Stock Exchange, Quantum Fund was disgraced. Under such a good situation, they vomited out all the meat in their mouths, but it was a pity that they never had the opportunity to face off against them in the financial market..." Zhukenmiller looked at him. The cold light flashed away.

The New York Stock Exchange's once-in-a-century stock market crash was a god-given opportunity for big short sellers like Quantum Fund and Tiger Management to make huge profits. However, Zongheng Investment and Qianhai Asset Management accurately switched from idle to long, and manipulated the stock market. , and suffered heavy losses in the end.

The young and successful Zhukenmiller regarded it as a great shame and humiliation in his life, and he kept thinking about venting his anger. But what made him unable to vent his anger was that after the battle of Qianhai Asset Management, he quit the stock index futures market and moved to Silicon Valley.

Zongheng Investment participated in the London Copper War, but commodity futures are not Quantum Fund’s strong point, and Zhukenmiller will not fight with others in a field that is unfamiliar to him.

He will always remember what George Soros taught him: Once you are extremely confident about a certain transaction, you should dare to grab the opportunity by the throat and not let go.

Not doing anything that is uncertain is one of the reasons why Quantum Fund can survive in the ever-changing financial market.

"Stanley, you're not going to change your mind, are you? We have been preparing for such a long time, so we can't just give up, right?" Robertson asked in surprise as he looked at Zhukenmiller who was deep in thought.

"But taking action now is tantamount to investing a lot of money to be a bearer. They don't even need to invest any operating costs, and they can just enjoy the profits and make huge profits..." Zhukenmiller said with a livid face.

"But if we continue to hesitate, let alone enjoy the feast, we may not even be able to drink the sweet soup after the meal..." Robertson said angrily.

"Julian, give me two days and I will give you an accurate answer!" Zhukenmiller said after pondering for a moment.

"Two days? I'm afraid they will have completed the position in two days..." Julian Robertson said with wide eyes.

Zhukenmiller's whole thinking has fallen into a strange circle. He dreams of becoming a rival of Zongheng Investment and Qianhai Asset Management, defeating his opponents in a field he is familiar with, and avenging his previous shame!

Being robbed of the opportunity, according to a normal person's thinking, apart from swallowing and taking a piece of the pie, the only option is to reluctantly part ways and give up on this long-planned plan...

"Julian, do you think it is possible for us to force Qianhai Asset Management and Zongheng Investment to become our rivals?" Zhukenmiller said suddenly after pondering for a long time.

"Are you crazy? The general trend in Southeast Asia has been established. We have spent so much money on the layout, and now we are going long because of your personal grudges? Once the financial crisis is detonated, you will die in an ugly way. Do you think the board of directors of Quantum Company, including Mr. Soros, will you let you do whatever you want?" Robertson said with a surprised look on his face.

"No, no... our short-selling strategy remains unchanged. What I mean is, is there a possibility? Using some extraordinary means to induce or force Zongheng Investment and Qianhai Asset Management to backhand and go long?" Zhukenmiller felt that in his mind Some ideas came to me intermittently, but I still couldn't grasp the key points and couldn't connect them together.

"How is this possible? Zongheng Investment is a Xiangjiang company, and Qianhai Asset Management and some related companies that have advanced and retreated together are mostly from Japan. They are more familiar with Southeast Asia than we are, and they must have smelled the danger of a financial crisis..." Julian Robertson said looking at Zuckenmiller like he was a fool.

"The Xiangjiang Company and the Japanese Company?" Zhukenmiller muttered to himself as his heart moved.

"Really?" Robertson was a bit confused and confused.

"Julian, Qianhai Asset Management and Zongheng Investment have launched attacks on almost all important financial markets in Southeast Asia, except Japan and Hong Kong. Why is that?" Zhu Kenmiller asked excitedly.

"Why?" Robertson asked puzzled.

"Haha, these Easterners often associate investment behavior with politics. They will never attack their own country's financial system unless they have to. Therefore, looking at the major financial markets in Asia, except for mainland China, which actively lowers its exchange rate, the attack list Only Japan and Hong Kong are not there..." Zhukenmiller's face regained the look of having everything under control.

"what do you mean……?"

"Not only will these Easterners not attack their country's financial system, but in critical moments, they may take the initiative to protect the market. This is their strength, but also their biggest weakness..." Zhukenmiller clenched his right hand and said excitedly.
