My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1151 Gold in troubled times

   took a few glances at Xia Jingxing, Soros suddenly smiled and waved his hand: "Daren, I'm joking with you, don't take it seriously!

   Now that I'm entering the venue, I can only drink some soup and water, and it's not worth my special trip.

   And I am not very interested in individual stocks, I prefer big markets and trading varieties such as currencies and foreign exchange.

   Entering with a large amount of money and subverting the financial order of a country and a region is the most rare exciting moment in life.

   Now that I'm making a little noise, I can't get much interest in me anymore! "

  Xia Jingxing smiled, this is a forceful act... It is indeed possible, full marks!

   "However, Darren, you did a really good job on Hong Kong Island this time!"

   Soros praised, and then sighed: "Even God is helping you, the front foot is short, the back foot Lehman Brothers goes bankrupt, and then the financial turmoil blows across the world.

  Sometimes financial investment still depends on a little luck. You are very lucky. You should be able to make billions of dollars in the Hong Kong Island market this time, right? "

  Xia Jingxing said with a smile: "The result has not yet come out, it is not very clear now."

   Soros smiled, even if Xia Jingxing didn't admit it, he could roughly infer the profitability of Envision Capital's short selling on Hong Kong Island based on the size of the capital and changes in stock prices.

  Think of him sniping at the British pound, Italian lira, and Thai baht more than ten years ago... The profit was only a few billion dollars.

   Ignoring factors such as inflation and currency devaluation, Xia Jingxing achieved a record in one area that took him several years to achieve.

   This turbulent back wave made him look sideways at the front wave.

   At this moment, Paulson suddenly interjected: "Daren, you also have investments in Europe, right? The London office of the Paulson Fund is also in Canary Wharf, just next to your office."

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "Yes, I heard that your business has expanded to London.

  When I went to London, I said I would visit you, but you are often not there. "

   Paulson said with a bright smile: "There will be opportunities in the future! The Paulson Fund is vigorously developing the European market, and I will often travel to London for business in the future."

   "Is that so? That's great. When I go to London in the future, I can find friends to drink with."

   Paulson saw that Xia Jingxing seemed reluctant to mention too much investment in London and Europe, and simply said: "The Paulson Fund has shorted dozens of bank stocks in the UK. After the short-selling ban was promulgated, it made us very embarrassed."

   Looking at Xia Jingxing's expression, Paulson continued to elaborate: "It's not worthwhile to close the position now, but if you don't close the position...you will have to bear a lot of pressure from public opinion.

  You know, last year, because of shorting subprime mortgage derivatives, my mother was almost forced to break down by a group of journalists with no moral bottom line, and she has yet to get out of the psychological shadow.

   Now I don’t know how to deal with being targeted by reporters again. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, "There is an old saying in China, people are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong!

  You are now a celebrity in the financial industry and will naturally receive more attention. "

   Paulson said with a look of regret: "I don't really want to be famous, but this is the end of the matter, and it can't be undone."

  Xia Jingxing snickered in his heart, fortunately, he was witty and launched Paulson, the "air god", to attract most of the firepower for him.

   This year, Paulson topped the "Forbes" list of America's richest people, ranking 165th.

   In just one year, Paulson has changed from a nobody in the financial circle to the "first person in hedge funds" and "the **** of money" who can be brother to Soros.

Even the Treasurer Henry Paulson was robbed of a lot of limelight by the new financial tycoon with the same surname, and even the media suggested that John Paulson become Treasurer, saying that he was more than the current Treasurer Paulson. Understanding finance can well solve a series of problems arising from the outbreak of the financial crisis.

   In short, the story of this guy's rise is much more exciting than Xia Jingxing, and he can scratch people's G-spots everywhere.

   Everything about him is of great interest to the people.

  Compared to Paulson, Xia Jingxing was already an Internet billionaire before he set foot in the financial circle, and the performance of Vision Capital in the past two years is inferior to that of Paulson Fund.

   Therefore, Xia Jingxing was like a passing star, and his light was quickly replaced and covered up by Paulson, a freshly baked little meat.

   In fact, Paulson is slowly reminiscing about it now, and realizes that he has blocked Xia Jingxing once.

   But Xia Jingxing was the one who helped him when he was in the most difficult time, and Paulson Fund should charge Xia Jingxing's LP's management fee, and no less than one cent of the income, so he had no reason to complain about Xia Jingxing.

   To sum up his state of mind at this time in one sentence, such as drinking water, knowing whether it is cold or warm.

   "Daren, Vision Capital should also be shorting European financial stocks, right?"

   Soros looked at Xia Jingxing with a smile, the other party's little tricks could not hide him at all.

   He speculated that the short list of Envision Capital is definitely not only on Hong Kong Island, but also in Europe and even the United States, which is normal.

   Paulson also looked at Xia Jingxing, he actually had no other intentions, just simply wanted to communicate with Xia Jingxing about the solution.

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "Yes! Looking at the reactions of European countries, we can only slowly close our positions."

   Paulson frowned: "Wait a little bit better? Are you afraid that the financial regulators in European countries will introduce more stringent securities investment laws?

   No matter how severe it is, it is impossible to completely ban short selling.

The existence of    shorting is positive for the securities market, it can eliminate stock market bubbles and give the market greater liquidity. "

   "That's right!"

   Soros said slowly: "Daren, don't you see that I was short the pound back then, didn't I also retreat? There's nothing to be afraid of, they don't dare to do anything."

  Xia Jingxing glanced at Soros and nodded with a smile, but he was a little dissatisfied.

What is the background of the   Quantum Fund's attack on the British pound?

   means that the pound will join the European exchange rate system and decouple from the dollar, and Europe will close the door and play by itself.

   Laomei can make you succeed?

  Soros was just the one who pushed to the front of the stage, with thicker thighs behind him.

   However, shorts such as Vision Capital and Paulson Fund are short-selling bank stocks. They are not as dark as Soros, and the damage caused is not so great. I am not afraid that European countries will turn the table in a hurry.

   It was confirmed that Vision Capital was massacred in Europe, and Paulson's heart suddenly became hot.

   He said: "Daren, now that the financial crisis has been completely detonated, there will be a large-scale unemployment wave and an economic recession. Where do you think a lot of safe-haven funds will turn? A precious metal!"

   "Gold?"

   Paulson smiled at Xia Jingxing, "That's right! Next, the government intends to rescue the city, but the poor in the treasury can starve the mice, what should we do?

  Print money! Only printing money, this is also an old method!

   Let the US dollar flow into the world and let all countries bear the harm of inflation. This is the real rescue plan.

   Therefore, I judge that the price of gold assets will definitely skyrocket in the future. "

  Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, antiques in prosperous times, gold in troubled times, this principle is applicable in ancient and modern China and abroad!

   As soon as the financial crisis comes, it is not a chaotic world. The price of gold does not rise steadily, and it is simply sorry for the title of rare precious metal.

   In the next established plan of Vision Capital, there are also arrangements for bottom-hunting gold, backhand in the stock market, and low-valued assets.

   After several large sums of money were withdrawn with profit, he planned to start the third wave of financial actions around the subprime mortgage crisis.
