Rebirth: The Financial Giant

Chapter 277 [Emotional John Brain (7093)]

Tiansheng Capital headquarters, reception room.

At this time, Lu Ming was receiving a rather important guest, John Blaine, Global Vice President of Goldman Sachs Group, who arrived in Ningzhou yesterday. This is his second visit to Tiansheng Capital headquarters this year.

Mr. Brain, give me a bottom line. Will the US dollar enter the third interest rate hike? When will the interest rate increase? Lu Ming looked at the Yutai man sitting beside him.

This is a well-informed question. Others may not know it, but Lu Ming, who has foresight, is more clear in his heart.

In mid-December, the Fed announced a 25 basis point rate hike, just a few days away.

John Bryan spread his hands helplessly and said, Mr. Lu, you are embarrassing me. How can I know the Fed's decision?

At the same time, I added a sentence in my heart: I will not tell you the specific interest rate hike date if I know it!

John Brain looked at Lu Ming and added:

“However, a recent Goldman Sachs research report predicts that the magnesium economy is heading towards 2018 with strong momentum, possibly with broader wage and inflation hikes that would require the Fed to raise rates four times next year, we don’t know. What about the future, but the interest rate hike cycle will definitely come, and defensive operations are also necessary.

But we believe that the impact of the interest rate hike by Magnesium on China's economy is only short-lived. Judging from the profitability of listed companies in the first three quarters of this year, the performance growth rate has accelerated significantly, and the Chinese economy is getting rid of the shackles brought by the global economy. After the adjustment is completed, it is expected to walk out of the slow bull trend similar to the North American capital market in the future.”

When Lu Ming heard what he said, he snorted a few times in his heart with a half-smile, and secretly said: If you can hide it from others, can you hide it from Master? Don't you know when Mingzhen is a master?

Speaking of which, today's domestic stock market is affected by the expectation of the US dollar interest rate hike and has fallen sharply. The net outflow of foreign capital for three consecutive days has net inflow at this time point, which is obviously to do something.

Lu Ming naturally saw through it but didn't say it.

At this time, John Braine asked with a serious look: Mr. Lu, what's the matter with the stock assets transferred by your company as high as 7,500 market value? Are you planning to cash out and leave the market?

Guys, are they all blatantly testing each other?

With a smile, Lu Ming said with certainty: How could it be possible to sell? This paid transfer is just a distribution of benefits. Besides, I have cashed out such a huge amount of funds, and I didn't want to buy stocks in the end, so why bother? What's more, we are also very optimistic about the future economic prospects of our country, and I am very confident in this.

John Brain was relieved when he heard this, and nodded with a smile, only he knew what he was thinking.

The two sides were talking and laughing, but in fact they were both superficial friends and cooperating partners, and they didn't even say a single word of the truth. They were all thinking about how to cheat each other.

However, the dealings that should be fought are still to be fought. How can there be absolute friends and enemies in the real world? Sometimes it is more reliable to cooperate with the enemy. The world is so paradoxical.

Lu Ming raised Erlang's legs with a three-pointed state of satisfaction, tilted his head to look at John Braine and said with a smile: I have to say, Mr. Braine, you Yutai people are the best business people in the world.

Hearing this, John Brain shook his head repeatedly and denied: NO! NO! NO! Mr. Lu, please don't talk to me like this, I don't eat this, and the one who really can do business on this planet is You Chinese.

With a puzzled expression, Lu Ming spread out his hands and said, How is it possible? I have never heard anyone say that we Chinese people can do business, but the most common thing I hear is that everyone says that Yuti is the best in the world. The most profitable, it can be seen that this is a fact recognized by the world.”

No matter how you listen to these words, it's all business talk. Logically speaking, John Braine should be very happy. Unexpectedly, before Lu Ming's voice fell, John Braine, who was sitting beside him, was suddenly excited, as if he was being affected by it. What's the excitement? Yes, he stared straight at Lu Ming, and said a few words with a resentful expression:

That' it—!

That' it—!

John Bryan gritted his teeth in a more and more excited tone and said, It's this sentence that made us Jutai people miserable, do you know that?

Lu Ming: ...

John Brain was still very excited and indignant, saying: The whole world is saying this, and they all think that the Jutai people are the best at doing business, so people immediately become alert when they see us, and then make every penny. No. And you Chinese people, you are the best at doing business, but you pretend not to be, and you have dug the hole behind, and you say no, and you deny it one after another, which is too inauthentic!

This is quite a complaint, and its subtext is also dissatisfaction with the previous big A from 5178 points to 2638 points, plus the fiasco of the foreign exchange war a year or two ago, Wall Street thought that the opponent would trumpet after the victory. , I didn't expect that he would still pretend to be pitiful without mentioning it, and win the sympathy of the whole world. Just thinking about it makes him angry.

After a while, John Bryan sighed and said again: Mr. Lu, I have to say that you are really clever at playing, really high, your most brilliant means is to use the 'best businessman in the world' The top hat was given to us Yutai, and it hurt us so badly, I can't shake it off now!

Yo ho, John Bryan can see it clearly.

Lu Ming was almost not amused by his crazy ranting remarks. Just when he was about to humbly deny Sanlian, John Braine seemed to have expected it, and immediately stopped and said:

Don't explain Mr. Lu, I don't want to hear it, and don't pretend to be humble. If you want to explain, explain to me why the economic growth rate in the past 20 to 30 years has been so crazy? Explain to me why it can quickly become the second largest economy in the world after Magnesium with a weak economic foundation, which is called incapable of doing business?

Uh……

This guy……

Lu Ming was speechless, so he had to shut up and change the subject. After a while, he fetched a document for the foreigner.

Another important thing that John Bryan came to Tiansheng Capital personally during his trip is to get the asset price data sheet from Tiansheng Capital in order to list the 13.5 billion entrusted assets packaged capital securities.

The document Lu Ming gave him was the asset price data sheet.

What? $42 billion in floating profit?

John Bryan, who was reading the asset price data sheet, jumped up from his seat in shock. That is to say, in the one quarter from July to the present, Lu Ming's $120 billion sale has created a 35% return?

John Bryan carefully read it again and confirmed that it was correct, that was right!

Hahaha~~

John Bryan clapped the asset price data sheet on his hands and looked directly at Lu Ming and said excitedly, Chinese people are the best at doing business. This is the evidence, don't explain it.

Lu Ming motioned for him to sit down and said with a smile, No no no, Mr. Brain, you are wrong, the 'evidence' in your hand just proves that you Yutai people can do business. People who can do business help you with asset management, so you are the most skilled in business, and there is a reason why there is nothing wrong with it.”

Haha~~ John Bryan smirked and said with contempt in his heart after sitting down: Come on, I believe you!

However, this foreigner didn't have the heart to talk about the asset price list in his hand. He roughly calculated that Goldman Sachs Capital invested 4.5 billion US dollars in this asset management. The proportion is 22.5% , which means that the current floating profit belongs to Goldman Sachs Group with 9.45 billion US dollars.

However, for the money that was handed over, 35% of the excess performance commission had to be removed in accordance with the agreement, which is $3.3 billion. In the end, the absolute net income of Goldman Sachs was $6.1 billion.

The doubling of absolute net income in more than three months is not three times the small amount, which is something that John Brain never expected.

Knowing that Lu Ming's ability to make money was so sturdy, he should have given him $10 billion in the first place, and the book profit would have been $13.5 billion. John Brain said in his heart that Morgan Stanley and Carlyle Investment Group should not be given to him. to pull in.

This wave of loss is big, blood loss!

But it doesn't matter, this time, the assets were packaged into securities and listed on the backdoor TCG company, and some of the market was hyped.

Mr. Lu, TCG will resume trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Friday, December 15th. I have to go back and prepare. Please give me a copy of this data. John Brain can't wait to fly back to Wall Street now.

Backdoor TCG resumption of trading by packaging securities and copying the price up, Goldman Sachs Group can actually earn more, and there is no problem in multiplying it several times on this basis, and it can also withdraw with profits in advance, avoiding the 15-year lock-up period of entrusted funds This is the biggest risk of the ultra-long period.

Lu Ming smiled and said, This is the backup, you can take it directly.

John Bryan didn't say much, and immediately put the materials in his briefcase, left Tiansheng Capital after a few greetings, and flew back to North America on a private plane that day.

Cut leeks, of course in a hurry!

Lu Ming is not idle either. TCG will resume trading, and he will definitely participate in a wave of emotional hype.

...

(Ps: Shennong immortal passed away, although he is dead, he is still alive, I really hope this is fake news, alas~)
