Chapter 299

The financial turmoil in mid October led to the collapse of the US junk bond market.

A large number of short capital earned a lot, and more people lost their money. Therefore, whether it is out of the consideration of launching a scapegoat to attract media public opinion, or there are other ideas, cersei capital's Secret participation in this crisis seems to be no longer necessary to keep secret.

October 21, Saturday.

New York's "Daily News" suddenly published a press release titled "Westeros is coming, so is the stock market crash.".

The article reviews the Japanese stock market crash caused by Simon's last trip to Melbourne to visit his girlfriend in a playful tone, and then points out that Simon westero and Janet Johnston just stayed in New York for a week before the "mini crash" on October 13.

If that's all, it's nothing.

However, as a gossip newspaper with a position similar to that of the New York Post, the daily news exposed a lot of inside information about cersei capital in its press release, including its core net asset value. Finally, we will lead the topic to cersei capital and Australian consortia to participate in promoting the collapse of the US junk bond market, and then make huge profits by shorting.

Cersei capital has made $1.6 billion this week, and there is nothing wrong with the daily news article.

However, the intention of this article is obviously not so simple.

However, the public opinion guidance of "cersei capital and the Australian consortium destroy the US junk bond market" can be regarded as sinister, which is totally to label Simon as a "US traitor" who leads wolves into the house. Simon doesn't have a sense of belonging to the country he lives in, but he also knows what impact this kind of public opinion will have on his personal image and business map.

Therefore, the public relations team of westero company immediately countered the article of the daily news, pointing out that the scale of short funds against the US junk bond market exceeded $30 billion this time, and it was impossible for any capital force to dominate it. Moreover, the root cause of this collapse is that United Airlines and other enterprises have ignored their own strength and excessively issued bonds. The daily news's attempt to blame cersei capital for the collapse of the junk bond market is a complete slander.

Westero not only made a public response, but also asked the daily news to withdraw its article and apologize on the front page of the newspaper. Otherwise, westero will sue the daily news.

As a supplement to this counterattack, Denise Entertainment's "Daily News" made a dramatic compromise in just one day. The swift and fierce strike of westero made many people realize that a powerful capital force has been formed in this country.

The reason why the nouveau riche is called the nouveau riche is that they often lack the power and inside information equivalent to their personal wealth. Even if you have ten times as much wealth as other old families, you will still be despised by others.

If Simon westero is just a upstart who suddenly has billions of dollars, the American media, which advocates "freedom", will not pay attention to the demands of westero. The compromise of the daily news clearly means that this newly rich man who has risen rapidly in just three years has established the potential power and influence equivalent to his huge personal wealth.

As a result, although the pressure exerted by westero company on the daily news is very obvious, out of fear of Simon westero, after the daily news announced to withdraw the article and apologized, other mainstream media in the United States are very cautious not to continue to discuss a sensitive topic.

No matter how exuberant a fire loses its combustibles, it is impossible for it to spread into a fire.

The major newspapers actively ignored it, while the mainstream TV stations did not discuss it. The tone of the daily news quickly disappeared in other news waves after a brief flash in the pan.

At the end of the day, that's the power of capital.

However, although the media no longer dare to lead Simon to the trend of "American adultery", cersei capital's participation in shorting the North American junk bond market has been ignored.

It doesn't seem taboo to just discuss how much money Simon westero has made, or to get a little insight into cersei capital. Some newspapers published similar articles after several times of scratching in the face of this topic which is destined to attract people's attention. As soon as they did not arouse the dissatisfaction of Westeros, other media began to follow up.

Of course, the inside story of cersei capital's operation can not be detected by anyone. Most newspapers only get the semi public information leaked out through some less secret channels of the daily news.

However, there has never been a lack of dedicated people in this world.

Cersei capital's creation of No. 6 to No. 10 sub fund is not a secret for some people, but most of the insiders ignore some deeper information.

For example, where does the capital of sub funds 6 to 10 come from?

The net value of cersei capital sub fund 1-5 has achieved 100% growth in less than a year. Some people naturally think that it is easy for Simon westrow to raise a large amount of money, so it is not easy to pay attention to the specific source of the money.It's just that there are exceptions to everything.

Manhattan.

Noah Scott, who helped Simon westero operate S & P 500 index futures in the 87 stock market crash, has been in charge of a derivatives hedging and arbitrage team of Lehman Brothers since the end of last year.

Now, in less than a year, the $1.5 billion capital that the team is in charge of has grown to $2.6 billion.

With a profit margin of 70%, Noah Scott has become the most prominent young executive within Lehman Brothers. However, he has been living in a kind of vague uneasiness in recent months.

Because of the need to focus on the Japanese market, Noah Scott did not intervene in the U.S. junk bond market in which Lehman Brothers was also involved. The "mini crash" of the US stock market on October 13 and the subsequent summary of various aspects of information made Noah Scott gradually begin to affirm his own speculation.

American Express headquarters at Rockefeller Center.

Although it was Sunday, James Robinson, CEO of American Express, the parent company of Lehman Brothers, and several core executives of American Express, including Noah Scott's father Nelson Scott, all gathered in a conference room at the headquarters to listen to Noah Scott's confidential report.

"I have carefully studied cersei capital's operation in the Japanese market. According to the information we have obtained from various aspects, cersei capital's operation is obviously divided into three stages. The first stage is from the end of last year to march of this year. To be exact, before Simon westrow's accident coma due to overwork, cersei capital's operation is mainly conservative and stable, which belongs to the national capital It should be Simon westero himself who is leading the long-term trend investment. From March to July, cersei capital's operation became radical, and there were many ultra short term, high leverage and high-risk investment cases. As a former classmate, I can judge that Janet Johnston should be responsible for this period. "

Noah Scott said this in a pause, and quickly continued: "after July, cersei capital's operation method has become incomprehensible."

James Robinson was originally looking through the inside information of cersei capital collected by a large number of resources, contacts, information channels and even some shameful means by Lehman Brothers. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked, "Noah, what do you want to express?"

Noah Scott sorted out his thoughts and said, "Jim, since Simon westrow went to Melbourne at the end of June, cersei capital's operation method has changed significantly again. This time, it's not the style of either westero or Johnston. It's neither conservative nor radical. It's just that we continue to be bullish on the Japanese stock market through a high proportion of positions. "

Nelson Scott, Noah Scott's father, said: "besides Noah, westero and Johnston, isn't cersei capital another person in charge? Anthony Johnston, the boss of the Johnston family, maybe he took over the operation? "

"Anthony Johnston is only in charge of the finance of cersei capital, and is not involved in the specific operation. What's more, Janet Johnston is much better. How can cersei investors let Anthony Johnston, who is not familiar with these businesses, take over? "

Another executive asked, "maybe Janet Johnston's energy has shifted to North America?"

"It's impossible. Even if Janet Johnston's energy turns to North America, she will certainly be staring at Japan. Cersei's operation style for the Japanese market can't be completely changed," Noah Scott said, no longer selling the key points, saying: "so, I always doubt what happened inside cersei capital that we haven't been able to detect. In recent months, I've been wondering I've been troubled by this until the recent collapse of the junk bond market

Everyone in the room looked at Noah Scott.

Noah Scott simply got up, went to the whiteboard at the front of the conference room, picked up a fountain pen and wrote quickly. He explained: "Simon westlow went to Melbourne at the end of June, and cersei capital sub fund 6-10 was established in early July. During the same period, cersei capital sub fund 1-5 changed its operation style for the Japanese market. More recently, according to the information we have, cersei's short position in the federal junk bond market will not be less than $3 billion. Three billion dollars, such a huge sum of money can not be quietly raised. Well, let's think about it carefully. Where did the $3 billion of sub funds 6 to 10 come from? "

With that said, Noah Scott did not really let people guess. He directly drew several arrows in succession, leading the schematic diagram of cersei capital sub fund No. 1 to No. 5 on the whiteboard to sub fund No. 6 to No. 10.

The scene is full of top career elites who have been working in the industry for many years. There is no need for Noah Scott to remind them too much. James Robinson, with a chill on his back, stands up and blurts out: "westero has left!"

The Japanese stock market has recently broken through the 39000 mark and headed for 40000.

If Simon westero had cashed out in July, it was the end of October and everyone had been fooled for more than three months. More than three months later, a large amount of money of Lehman Brothers is still completely in the Japanese market. So, who dares to say what will happen next?!
