Chapter 474
Only those talented traders who are not afraid of tigers at birth will seize every opportunity to become famous, and then stud. On the contrary, those traders and traders who have been famous for a long time will not be soft at critical moments.

Of course, from a genius trader to a top short-selling master, that is another situation. Just like Soros, there are countless people who scold him, but he has to admit that he has really made his mark in the short-selling business. , to become a master-level character.

Soros has now really reached the point where he can conquer a country. As long as he finds a little loophole, he can make the dam collapse.

"Collison, Steve Collison!"

The man stood in front of Song Yang and Marcus with a strong sense of confidence, as if nothing could stop him.

Song Yang took Collison's information. Collison, who is just 31 years old this year, has already had a rich life experience. Character determines destiny, which is fully reflected in Collison.

Collison was born in the middle class. His mother was an amateur piano teacher, and his father was the owner of a small clothing factory manufacturer.

When he entered middle school, Collison became obsessed with playing cards, and he never lost a single game. When he finished middle school, he was already a well-known "God of Gamblers" in the local area, and his attainments in Texas Hold'em were quite high.

When he graduated from high school, Mr. Collison opened a brokerage account for him. From this, Collison discovered a new world. Gambling games of a few cents or more than ten dollars is almost worthless compared to the excitement brought by the stock market. Mention, Collison played the biggest game before, and it was only a few thousand dollars a night, but in the stock market, hundreds of millions of dollars a minute, for Collison, compared to what drug brand, it brings The stimulus is much greater.

"Have you ever won a Maserati "gifted" by Buffett?" Song Yang asked Collison with a smile.

Hearing this, it was obvious that Collison had touched an itch, "It's just a coincidence!"

Last year, a private jet company owned by Buffett’s Berkshire Company held a poker tournament, mainly for Wall Street poker masters, and some professional poker players also participated, but in the end Collison had the last laugh. He won the grand prize, a Maserati, and there were rumors that Collison was the winning sports car from Buffett.

This is enough to explain Collison's gambling skills. I heard that several casinos in Las Vegas blacklisted Collison, who is proficient in card counting, and cut off his path to professional gamblers.

"You have your own investment team now?"

Marcus said at this time that Collison is naturally superior in being a "genius", but at this time, what the North American Global Investment Foundation needs is not his story, but his ability!

"That's right. After leaving the previous company, I formed my own team. I don't think I need to say much about the previous things. You should already know."

Collison said that he knew that when he met Song Yang, his resume might have been wiped out. Maybe he had forgotten about it. Those headhunters and private investigation companies were all given The record is clear.

Song Yang put aside the document marked with Collison's information, which contained all his experiences for so many years. He entered the market at the age of 16, became the department head of a Wall Street investment institution at the age of 21, and served as the head of the department at the age of 27. He is the manager of the investment department and has the right to commission commissions. However, a few years ago, Collison left the company that could only be regarded as a small and medium-sized investment bank on Wall Street.

Collison's strengths and weaknesses are obvious. He is very courageous and addicted to gambling. Just like poker, his trading skills are superb, which is also reflected in his trading style. As long as there is a 1% chance, he will Dare to fight!
"North American Global Investment Foundation, there is an investment project that requires Collison and your team to join," Marcus said to Collison, "If you join this project, Collison, you need to work at the North American Investment Foundation More than three years!"

For geniuses, the major investment banks on Wall Street are basically wooing them, naturally hoping to tie them up, but top genius traders often don't stay in one company so peacefully for a lifetime.

The North American Global Investment Fund kept Collison more for the sake of confidentiality, and also improved the investment department.

Hearing what Marcus said, Collison frowned, "Can I know what the project is and how much money is involved? I'm sorry, I don't intend to inquire about any secrets, but I need to know these things, in order for me to return With my team."

"40 million dollars!"

Marcus glanced at Song Yang, and then said to Collison, regardless of whether Collison stayed or not today, he had to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

Collison showed a startled look on his face. He was always confident, but he was also a little surprised at this time, "This project, the North American Global Investment Fund, will invest 40 billion dollars?"

Collison, who has been playing with leverage all the year round, knows the weight of this dollar. Not to mention playing with a hundred times leverage, even a ten times leverage, it is estimated that the investment industry can be turned upside down!

Having said this, Song Yang is not going around in circles, "If you join in, the 40 billion dollars will be traded by you."

Collison cursed, he who has always acted crazy, unexpectedly felt a whiff of madness.

After a while, Collison couldn't resist signing the agreement and joining the North American Global Investment Fund.

The moment he put down his pen, Collison couldn't wait to ask, "So, can you tell me what the project is?"

"We have sources that Soros' Quantum Fund, Tiger Fund and other Wall Street hedge funds may start in Southeast Asia. The North American Global Investment Foundation also has some plans in Southeast Asia!"

Hearing these words, and seeing the materials Marcus gave him, Collison couldn't help calling out to God, "Those lunatics!"

After finishing speaking, Collison suddenly thought that he seemed to be a member of the "Mad Men" now.

"It's not just the Thai baht," Collison, who was stunned, picked up the materials and looked at them for a while, his eyes lit up. "If I were Soros, I wouldn't just short the Thai baht!"

"Siam, Bangzi, Singapore, Japan, Malaysia and even Hong Kong City... could all be targets."

At this time, Collison saw Soros's big net. Although he could only see a part of it, it still surprised him. Collison even felt that the old man was probably within the range of Soros's artillery fire.

"If Soros really makes a move, the North American Global Investment Foundation will not follow the empty port city," Song Yang looked at Collison and Marcus and said, "Short selling is only part of the North American Global Investment Foundation, the most important thing is, It’s better to buy the industries in places like Bangzi!”

Song Yang's voice was not heavy, but Marcus and Collison still heard the meaning of Song Yang's words. They looked at each other and nodded at each other.

"Collison, I need you to take a hard trip and bring your team to Southeast Asia ahead of schedule!"

Across the Pacific Ocean, playing command from the air on the American side, I am afraid that the crotch of the loser is gone. The North American Global Investment Foundation must send someone to the front to take command. No one is better than Collison. fit.

"I see!"

Collison said eagerly, 40 billion US dollars in cash, this is the biggest bet Collison has dealt with in so many years, thinking of those possible opponents, Collison's adrenaline began to soar.

After Collison left, without waiting for Song Yang to speak, Marcus said directly, "I will go to Southeast Asia in a few days!"

Not afraid of [-], just in case, with such a large sum of money, Song Yang must send someone to keep an eye on Collison. I am afraid that apart from Song Yang, only Marcus can suppress Collison. up.

New York, the headquarters of Quantum Fund, it seems that the investors of this hedge fund are all from outside America, this is to avoid the review of the Federal Securities Commission, but in fact everyone understands that the Quantum Fund Investors are basically trying to sell dog meat, and most of them are American investors in vests.

If it is an investor outside of America, how can the size of the fund portfolio under Soros easily exceed US$200 billion!

At the headquarters of the Quantum Fund, the two founders, Soros and Rogers, are both present. Both of them have already achieved success. Compared with Soros, who is dedicated to doing things, Rogers' life is much better.

Rogers is keen on tourism and has invested in many overseas industries. He once saved the Austrian stock market that almost collapsed. He is known as the father of the Austrian stock market. He also taught at Columbia University and participated in investment programs hosted by TV stations. Soros is much better.

Usually, Soros and Rogers basically go their separate ways. The Quantum Foundation also has a special manager to take care of them, and they rarely appear together at the same time. Today, the two appeared at the headquarters at the same time to participate in a conference call .

"In Siam, Bangzi, Singapore, Japan and other places, Quantum Fund has all established empty orders, which have been exchanged for more than 30 billion U.S. dollars in Thai baht, which can be sold at any time!"

There are not many people in the Quantum Fund headquarters office, only Soros, Rogers and a few important executives are listening to the voices coming from the phone.

The speaker is Soros’ right-hand man. Now the general manager of Quantum Fund, Zhuken Miller, is also considered to have inherited Soros’ mantle. Some media even claimed that as long as Zhuken Miller is around, even Soros Retirement will not affect the operation of Quantum Fund, but now he unexpectedly went to Southeast Asia.

Both Soros and Rogers listened to Zhuken Miller's words. Quantum Fund has been in Siam for a long time, and now it has "borrowed" enough Thai baht from Siam Bank, and has invested in Siam's stock market, futures, In the foreign exchange market, enough chips have been obtained. As long as they start selling, the herd effect will be enough to defeat the Thai baht in one fell swoop.

Whether to do it now is just a matter of Soros's thought, and after Zhukenmiller finished speaking, he is waiting for Soros to make a decision.
