Society owes me a brother

Lu Chi was about to call Jin Xiaobao, who opened a private detective firm in China, and asked him to help investigate the real inside story of two silly younger brothers who passively came out of the closet under the exposure of a certain gossip tabloid. The call from Wes was cut off.

"Dear Lu, do you have time?" Eric Weiss said straight to the point on the other end of the phone, "Everyone wants to invite you to the celebration party."

"Celebration party?" Lu Chi was caught off guard, and was really confused for a while.

Eric Weiss laughed and said: "It seems that you haven't paid attention to the movements of Wall Street recently."

Without waiting for Lu Chi's response, Eric Weiss explained without hesitation: "We have received internal information. Under the lobbying of the five major investment banks, the China Securities Regulatory Commission has decided to relax the capital restrictions on the five major investment banks. net capital constraints. In other words, after the promulgation of this bill, we investment banks and hedge funds no longer need to be restricted by a mere ten times of financial leverage when engaging in financial activities. We can use dozens of times of financial leverage Leverage to get more benefits..."

Speaking of this, Eric Weiss thought vigorously: "Think about it. If we passed this bill in 2003 when we were trading in the international crude oil market, then the profits we can obtain will be rolled over hundreds of times. "

However, everyone knows that it is precisely because of the same concerns as these capitalists that the China Securities Regulatory Commission has been hesitant to relax the capital restrictions on Wall Street.

Or in other words, it was precisely because of Lu Chi's aggressive performance in the international crude oil market that the China Securities Regulatory Commission was even more afraid to relax the capital restrictions on Wall Street.They are afraid that once the debt ratio of financial investment banks is increased, it will cause the evil consequences of killing wild animals.After all, the more than 300 years of financial history of country M and the financial crises that erupted from time to time have fully proved the mercenary of capitalists.No one can guarantee that in the face of huge interests, capital will not be dazzled and do something irreversible.

In fact, since the war in the international crude oil market, the big Wall Street capitals who have tasted the sweetness have been secretly lobbying the Congress and the Securities Regulatory Commission.However, it is still the same sentence, because Lu Chi, a fierce beast, has too much prestige in the financial market, the parliament and the China Securities Regulatory Commission have been hesitant.Even if the five major investment banks moved out of Wall Street's tried-and-tested heavy-dollar strategy when dealing with Washington, there is still no way to completely convince those congressmen and the bosses of the Securities Regulatory Commission in a short period of time-after all, the latter have to consider other than accepting "political donations". To the so-called public opinion and personal reputation.

Especially after Lu Chi left Eric Assets and established his own Leaping Deer Fund, those congressmen and bigwigs from the China Securities Regulatory Commission were worried that Lu Chi would use all means to make a series of big moves for the sake of the reputation and customer source of the new fund. , in order to attract those bigwigs and investors who have capital in their hands to open accounts in Yuelu Fund - of course, what is more worried is that Lu Chi's big move will further disrupt the financial market, so they all stare at Yuelu as if they are facing an enemy Every move of the fund made it even more afraid to agree to the lobbying of the five major banks.

Not only that, in order to control the problems of excess capital liquidity and overheated investment that have risen sharply since Wall Street pushed up international crude oil prices in 2003, the Federal Reserve also raised interest rates for the first time shortly after the establishment of the Leap Fund by Lu Holdings. Someone raised it as early as when Wall Street was trading international crude oil, but it was promulgated and implemented so quickly, thanks to Lu Chi's various small actions in the financial market--

After all, this is a BUG genius who can accurately predict the trend of stocks or futures by relying on data analysis, various formulas and news reports.Even if the China Securities Regulatory Commission wants to accuse it of "manipulating the market" and "insider trading", it can predict that ST Communication's financial problems in the office of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, and personally lead the short-selling of ST Communication, resulting in the world's largest communication group in the A great man who filed for bankruptcy protection in just one year.

What's even more amazing is that after ST Communication went bankrupt, instead of choosing to retaliate wildly, the Smith family chose to befriend Lu Chi after a little testing.This phenomenon also made Washington and the China Securities Regulatory Commission clearly aware of how attractive Lu Chi is to capital.

It is simply a plug-in without any weaknesses!

After Washington personally stepped off the field and made a tentative attempt to withdraw, but did not take advantage of it, the two sides finally calmed down cautiously.

However, this also means that the relaxation policy promoted by the five major investment banks has once again met with a stalemate.After all, everyone is worried that Lu Chi can bring down AK Telecom, ST Communications, Walter Fund and Smit Group one after another with just a dozen times of financial leverage. If he is asked to use dozens of times more leverage, it will be Could it turn the entire US financial market upside down?

Fortunately, throughout 2004, Lu Chi devoted all his energy to the campus online listing, and did not make troubles in the financial market, and inadvertently appease the delicate and sensitive hearts of Washington and the Securities Regulatory Commission.Coupled with the persistent and heavy lobbying of the five major banks, in February 2005, the proposal of the five major investment banks on relaxing capital restrictions was finally passed.However, the formal bill will not be enacted until March.

After more than a year of hard work, the dust has finally settled. The five major investment banks and other investors on Wall Street finally breathed a sigh of relief. Lu Zhi, who went to Washington and the China Securities Regulatory Commission for decision-making.

Therefore, when holding the celebration party, everyone naturally invited this new investor who is "hostile" in Washington but can make Wall Street crazy money.

Hearing the many complaints from the Wall Street tycoons conveyed by Eric Weiss, Lu Chi was also a little dumbfounded.

"I see." Lu Chi said with a smile: "I will go to the banquet on time."

Although the entire Wall Street is in a carnival mood, Lu Chi himself is not very supportive of Country M's policy of relaxing capital restrictions on investment banks and excessively increasing financial leverage.

"I always feel that it's a bit dangerous to go on like this!"

It's like walking a tightrope at high altitude, it looks cool, but if you accidentally fall, you will be smashed to pieces.

Of course, no matter how low Lu Chi's EQ is, he wouldn't say such things in a disappointing way when he went to the celebration party.

Because the New Year is approaching, Lu Chi originally planned to pack his luggage and go home to celebrate the New Year. This time, he was invited by the Wall Street bigwigs to celebrate. Lu Chi simply carried his luggage and flew directly to New York. After attending the celebration party, he took the plane back that night. China.

Yue Bin and Zhang Yang originally wanted to transfer to New York with Lu Chi, and then return to China together.But I didn't want Mother Yue to call and tell Yue Bin that the family of Brother Yue's girlfriend would come to visit and discuss the engagement of the two children.In order to express her respect for her in-laws, Mother Yue hoped that everyone in the Yue family could show up on that day, so she kept calling and urging Yue Bin to go home quickly.When it came to brother Yue's lifelong event, Yue Bin didn't dare to hesitate and procrastinate, so he had to fly back early according to the original plan.

As Yue Bin's younger brother, Zhang Yang was also very curious about the scene where Big Brother Yue met his in-laws and parents, and eagerly followed him back.

So Lu Chi could only rush to New York alone to attend the celebration banquet on Wall Street.

Because the Rock Bank, a subsidiary of the Locke Group, is also one of the five major investment banks that lobbied Congress to relax capital restrictions on Wall Street this time, as the family of the host, they also had to fly to New York with Lu Chi to attend the celebration banquet and enjoy the fruits of victory. The Locke siblings: We are not human I →_→!

When we got off the plane, everyone saw the pick-up person arranged by the Locke family standing in the crowd holding a striking pick-up sign. The so-called eye-catching means that the pick-up sign directly printed on the pick-up sign that Lu Chi was participating in an interview with a certain financial media. Times magazine cover photo.According to the practice of the cover photo, it is naturally a refined photo. In the photo, Lu Chi is wearing a white shirt and suit pants and sitting on the leather sofa, with a strong aura and ease of use.He didn't look directly at the camera, but lowered his head slightly and flipped through the interview script. His handsome face has been magnified several times, which has a strong visual impact.

It is said that when the financial media released this issue of the magazine, the sales volume increased several times out of thin air - many girls who did not pay attention to finance and economics directly accepted this issue of the magazine as a fashion magazine.After all, Lu Chi on the cover does have a delicate facial features not weaker than Hollywood stars.

At this time, the cover photo that made the girls crazy was posted on the pick-up sign. From a distance, a group of pick-up men in suits were standing in the bustling crowd holding the pick-up photos that were enlarged like star posters In the middle, like a star's fans cheering for support, he made the surrounding tourists look sideways with such a great momentum.They all guessed which star these men in black picked up.

The scene was a bit embarrassing.Especially when Lu Chi saw the row of black Rolls-Royce luxury cars outside the airport—in order to express respect for Lu Chi, under the suggestion of the five major investment banks, the Locke family arranged a full team of luxury cars. The car comes to pick you up.Seeing this extraordinarily exaggerated scene, as well as the media reporters who were standing near the luxury car and the pick-up man with long guns and short cannons, so excited that they kept snapping pictures, Lu Chi could almost guess what would be written on the headlines of the newspaper tonight.

What a headache!

Under the protection of a group of bodyguards, Lu Chi walked into one of the luxury cars expressionlessly.The Locke brothers and sisters, who were almost invisible, followed Lu Chi leisurely, and couldn't help laughing wildly after they got in the car.

While laughing, he clutched his stomach and thumped the leather car seat.

Eric Weiss, who missed the important task of picking up the plane, sat in one of the luxury cars, ready to surprise Lu Chi.

He stuffed a bucket of seafood porridge made by a Michelin three-star chef in a five-star restaurant that is popular among the upper class in M ​​country into Lu Chi's hand, and said with a smile: "I heard that you like to drink porridge after getting off the plane." Porridge. Try this chef's handicraft and see if it suits your taste?"

After a pause, Eric Weiss couldn't help but tease: "How is it? Today's pick-up scene fits your prestigious reputation as a 'financial monster', right?"

"What financial beast?" Lu Chi frowned, looking at Eric Weiss suspiciously.I don't quite understand what's funny about it.

Feeling the doubts of the former partner, Eric Weiss laughed again, and explained to Lu Chi in detail the anecdote that Washington, the M State Securities Regulatory Commission, and the Federal Reserve regard Lu as a scourge.

"It's because of you alone that the bill was almost not approved this time. Tell me, did you almost become a sinner of Wall Street through the ages?" Eric Weiss teased Lu Chi exaggeratedly: "At the celebration party later, everyone You must be completely drunk to dispel the anger that everyone has received in the parliament for more than a year." And the many "political donations" that were spent for no reason.

Having said that, the bigwigs who have experienced this lobbying have to admire Lu Chi's ability to turn clouds and rain in the financial market and his super-high influence.For such a capable person, of course everyone will not be disrespectful.However, it is harmless to make trouble with Lu Chi under the pretext of "relieving anger" and bring everyone closer.

Eric Weiss patted Lu Chi on the shoulder and sighed with a smile: "Beast, get ready to drink!"
