No.1 Harbour Road, Wanchai District, Hong Kong is a five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel in the eye of Hong Kong Island.
It's Wednesday morning, October 29.
Cheng Taixi, who has been staying in this hotel for a week, is used to swimming in the morning recently. After getting up in the morning and before breakfast, he has to come to the bath in the hotel for a period of time.
It's kind of a psychological shadow.
After the incident in Seoul on October 18, early the next morning, she was approached by Seoul police and taken away.
During the trial, faced with life imprisonment, treason and other threats, 36 year old Cheng Taixi was scared to pee.
Literally.
Pay attention to VX public. Public number [bookfriends base], you can also get cash when you read a book!
However, it was because of the collapse, coupled with the wanton ridicule of a group of men in the interrogation room, that Cheng Taixi regained some purity.
After graduating from Seoul University, she directly invested in Kia group and worked hard for the company for more than ten years. Not only did her job lead to the breakdown of her marriage, but she didn't even have any children. Now, she is almost middle-aged, suddenly unemployed, and then she may be in prison for a lifetime. What else can she lose.
It's not as good as the last fight.
It's probably the sixth instinct of women. Cheng Taixi thinks that although the boss mentioned by Quan Zhengting doesn't know who the other party is, she should not let them fall.
So he gritted his teeth.
Even if the interrogators said that several others had confessed, she insisted on keeping silent.
She's right.
Just two days later, she was picked up by a lawyer who didn't know where. She thought it was temporary bail. Unexpectedly, everything was crisp and nothing happened any more.
Not only that, in addition to a large bonus for everyone, they also got the opportunity to come to Hong Kong for a holiday.
Unfortunately, there were only six members left in the original nine member team.
Among them, Jin Pingzhan, who has been working with her for several months, has a good feeling for each other. Although he is three years younger than her, he is also single. Before the event, Jin Pingzhan has already vaguely expressed his heart to her. However, on the day of being arrested, in order to alleviate the guilt, Jin Pingzhan told her everything and put some of the things they did together on her.
To regain his freedom, the first thing Cheng wants to do is to ask the man, is there any man's responsibility?
However, in a small team of nine, she ended up seeing only six.
The lawyer who picked her up said that since Jin Pingzhan's three men had pleaded guilty, they would have to face the law.
Cheng feels ironic.
And soon forget about that person.
Then everyone came to Hong Kong with their families. Only Cheng Taixi was alone. Occasionally, he couldn't help imagining in his heart. If Jin Pingzhan survived this time, maybe they could take the opportunity to travel and get married. She was a few years older than him, but she couldn't afford to wait. She had better have a child as soon as possible.
Now, thinking about the disgusting faces that mocked her in the interrogation room, and the disgusting man who wanted to put all the blame on her, Cheng Taixi felt that he would rather find a woman.
After shuttling back and forth in the swimming pool for several times in a row, Cheng Taixi, a sexy bikini, with beautiful figure and fair skin, climbed onto the bank with arms. Just as he was about to walk to the couch with bathrobes, someone had handed over a big bath towel. This is a tall white man in swimming trunks. He is in his thirties, with short blond hair, stubble and warm smile.
"Good morning, Cheng. How about having breakfast later?" he said in English
Cheng Taixi pretends not to see him, and even doesn't pick up the bath towel he has handed over. He goes to a reclining chair and takes out his bathrobe from his bag.
Obviously, the man was not willing to catch up with him. He seemed to be patient, but his tone was somewhat discontented: "Hey, Cheng, don't you want to say good morning?"
Cheng Taixi took out a towel from his bag to wipe his hair again. Hearing the words, he frowned and said in skilled English: "Mr. Eder, if you harass me again, I'll call the police."
The man's name is Hans Eder.
Since I met Cheng Taixi in the morning swimming four days ago, I will come here every day.
He also introduced himself. He is from Germany and a vice president of derivatives trading department of Deutsche Bank. He is currently in charge of derivatives trading in Asia.
Cheng Taixi recently had no good feelings for men, listening to the other side is not without pride to introduce themselves, more unlikely to give a good face. Obviously, the other side is an international speculator who has turned Asia upside down in recent months. To some extent, it indirectly promoted the collapse of Kia and her unemployment.
When Hans Eder heard Cheng Taixi's words, he seemed to regret his tone and raised his hands slightly: "OK, Cheng, I'm sorry. I mean, I thought Korean girls were very gentle."
Cheng Taixi's face didn't get better at all: "Mr. Eder, please pay attention to your words. I'm not a 'girl', and you are too biased."So finish saying, Cheng Taixi no longer pay attention to each other, picked up his bag and walked directly out of the pool.
Hans Eder looks at Cheng Taixi's elegant figure even if he is wrapped in a bathrobe. He has some shortness of breath. He originally intended to give up. Now he thinks, maybe he can try twice, but only twice. As a top derivative trader, he knows the truth of stop loss in time.
Your time is precious. You can't waste it on a girl for a long time.
After Cheng Taixi disappears, Hans Eder puts on a bathrobe and leaves the pool to return to his hotel suite and head for the bedroom.
On the big bed, an Asian girl felt that she was roughly pressed by a heavy body. She opened her eyes, then put her arms around the man's neck and said, "Hans, what time is it?"
Hans Eder said with a smile, "it's not half past seven, baby. We have plenty of time."
The woman suddenly opened her mouth a little, slowed down, and then said in a sweet voice, "Hans, what fund did you say you made a lot of money last night? Can you take me to Europe?"
"Baby, we're not going to talk about that now."
"You, oh, bad man."
After a good shower, Hans Eder got dressed and went to the hotel restaurant alone.
Coincidentally, I met Cheng Taixi, who was dining with several other people.
Hans Eder didn't know China's thirty-six stratagems, but he also knew the truth of playing hard to get. This time, he didn't bother any more. He just laughed at Cheng Taixi and chose a window seat overlooking Victoria Harbor.
One of the waiters here had already known his habits. He sent some of today's major newspapers in Asia, skillfully accepted the generous tips, and said with a smile in Cantonese, "Mr. Eder, is it the same?"
Hans Eder also returns in Cantonese: "of course."
One of the important reasons why he was sent to Asia is that Hans is fluent in Cantonese and Putonghua. He can also speak Japanese and a small amount of Korean. However, in front of women, Hans Eder always uses English, because he finds that women in Asia prefer this. If you use Cantonese or other languages, you will be looked down upon. As for his native German, it's a pity that few people know it.
When the waiter left, Hans Eder picked up a copy of the Sing Tao Daily, and his face became more cautious.
Hans Eder was directly dispatched from the headquarters of Deutsche Bank four months ago to take full charge of the derivatives trading team in Asia. The main reason for this is to avoid another accident in the Asian team, such as the collapse of Barings Bank two years ago due to the self dealing of a stupid trader.
In fact, after the event, all the world's major banks strengthened relevant supervision. Hans Edel parachuted to Asia this time, and he also planned to make a big profit for Deutsche Bank in the Asian financial crisis.
From the end of June to now, Hans Eder has gained a lot.
On the Asian side, the total value of funds or securities held by several derivatives trading teams of Deutsche Bank in Tokyo, Hong Kong and Singapore has soared from US $3.6 billion four months ago to US $5.3 billion now, with a Book profit of US $1.7 billion. It is expected that in the next few days, the delivery of contracts such as Hang Seng Index Futures in Hong Kong will be completed, and the profit figures will soar again.
Hans Eder has been thinking privately that he may be able to use this year's huge bonus to buy a luxury house in Hong Kong, and he will often come to play in the future.
However, the reason why Hans Eder has climbed to his present position at the age of 34 is that he has not been carried away by the victories of the past few months. It is during this period that, according to various clues, Hans Eder instinctively feels that there may be some unexpected changes in the situation in Hong Kong.
On the other hand, with his insistence, several teams have more than US $5.3 billion in capital, of which US $4.5 billion has been held on short positions in Hong Kong, such as Hang Seng Index Futures and Hong Kong currency. Similarly, Taiwan and South Korea, which are in turmoil, have only a small number of bets because of their good economic foundation and low oil and water.
As of yesterday's closing on Tuesday, the Hang Seng Index has officially dropped below 10000 points to close at 9639 points, as many people expected.
Deutsche Bank has made several short bets in the 9000 range, some of which are already profitable.
It is expected that on Friday's settlement day, not surprisingly, the Hang Seng index is expected to fall to around 9000. Then, after the delivery of all contracts, Hans Eder's total scale of capital in charge will easily exceed 6 billion US dollars. Everything goes well, and it's OK to buy another house in Singapore.
It's just that Hans Edel always has a sense of uneasiness out of some instinct of an elite trader.
Recent clues also prove that his uneasiness is not a delusion.
For one thing, the Hang Seng Index has dropped from a high of 16000 points four months ago to the current 9000 point range. Hans Eder has paid close attention to and participated in the whole process, and clearly felt that because everyone is not optimistic that the Hang Seng index can stick to, there are not many bulls willing to take over the short contracts with the target of more than 10000 points.However, in the 9000 point range or even the 8000 point range, it seems that during this period of time, the emerging long capital A little more.
perhaps some people think that Hongkong or the economic fundamentals behind the whole Chinese mainland are enough to support the 10000 high point of the Hang Seng Index. This argument is not new, but Hans Edel just feels that there are obviously too many good looking people.
When things change, there will be demons.
The Deutsche Bank team, including the headquarters, generally believed that the Hang Seng index might eventually fall to 7000. 9000 is far from the bottom, but Hans Eder just thinks that maybe next month, he should significantly reduce the short position of Hong Kong and move to South Korea or Japan.
Even if he earns less, in any case, his current performance is enough to hand over to the headquarters, and his bonus can't run at all.
People can't be too greedy.
After carefully and quickly reading some of the mainstream newspapers in Asia, Hans Eder used the whole breakfast time to carefully analyze them. The information in the public media still shows that the financial situation in various countries or regions in Asia continues to fluctuate, and there is no sign of any reversal.
Is it true that I'm a little oversensitive?
Hans Eder originally thought that maybe, in the morning, he could let the team close the short positions around 9800 o'clock, at least for a part of ANN. However, after breakfast, after repeated hesitation, Hans Eder still thought that it would be best to have a look again. If the Hang Seng index really falls to around 9000 in the next few days and closes at 9600, it would be a pity.
9000!
Hans Edel drew a line in his heart.
By next month, as long as the Hang Seng Index falls below 9000, he will sharply cut short positions in Hong Kong's stock market and foreign exchange market to less than $1 billion.
Hans Eder is still thinking about his own affairs. On the other hand, Quan Zhengting, Cheng Taixi and others have already had breakfast.
When she left the restaurant, Yuan Xinhui, the wife of Quan Zhengting, who was holding hands, was curious and asked about the foreign man who had just said hello to them. Cheng Taixi explained a few words, and Yuan Xinhui encouraged with a smile: "Taixi, I think you can try it. Foreign men should be more reliable than Pingzhan."
Before Cheng Taixi could answer, Quan Zhengting, who was walking in front of him, turned his head and glared: "don't mention that traitor's name again."
Yuan Xinhui was reprimanded by her husband. As expected, she didn't dare to say more. Since her husband caught up with the high-ranking figure and survived the most important test, men are more authoritative in their family, and Yuan Xinhui is more obedient to her husband. Even if men go to various night shows in Hong Kong in recent days, she won't say anything.
Fortunately, their men have a sense of propriety, there is no night without home.
On the other hand, Yu Meihe, Cui Zaixian's wife, fought for yuan Xinhui: "Zhengting, Xinhui didn't make any mistakes. What are you doing to her?"
Then yumeihe was also scolded by her husband, and the same instant flameout.
Cheng Taixi felt a little funny, but he didn't comment on it. Instead, he made up his mind that it was better not to get married.
Five people said they had left the restaurant.
As soon as we got to the elevator, the door opened, and a tall, thin man in dark glasses and a gray suit came out with two tall and beautiful girls in his arms. When he saw Quan Zhengting and Cui Zaixian, he immediately said hello to them in Korean.
Two old men are also warm, half a lifetime not familiar with Bala for a while, we are wrong.
Entering the elevator, the two women around him dare not say a word this time, so Cheng Taixi opens his mouth and asks two gossipy women who they are.
Quan Zhengting didn't say anything, but Cui Zaixian couldn't help explaining: "I met him in the bar the night before yesterday. He happened to go back to the hotel together. His name is Zhong Zhenyong. He's from Hong Kong."
Cheng Taixi said: "Hong Kong people, still stay in hotels?"
"You don't know, Taixi," Cui Zaixian became more interested. "That guy mortgaged all the two businesses in his family. In recent months, he has been speculating from $20 million to $70 million in Asian countries. He said that he would retire after earning $100 million. Well, like us, we have to continue to work. "
Yuan Xinhui couldn't help saying, "what do these people do with him? If it wasn't for them, Asia would not be so chaotic now. Besides, our company."
Quan Zhengting suddenly said: "Kia is not the one they fired bankrupt. It's not the bastards above. There are also blue mansions. They can't help them if they see death."
Aware of her husband's anger, Yuan Xinhui quickly shut up.
Five people said, back to their living floor, just turned into the corridor, saw the same is a small team members Wenling holding the pace to hurry to this side.
This time, the six families came together. Except for Cheng Taixi, the others were in pairs and on vacation. Of course, they would not do everything together.
Quan Zhengting was about to greet Wen Lingzhi with a smile and make fun of him. As soon as he got up, he ran up to him and said, "president, just after receiving the phone call, the subordinate from Miss Chen, President, you are not in the room, so he called me and said that there is a party in the evening and asked us to come and join together."Nowadays, mobile phones are very popular, but global communication is not yet popular. We just come here for a holiday, and we have never thought about temporary mobile cards. It's not so convenient to keep in touch with people.
Hearing Wen Lingzhi say so, Quan Zhengting immediately asked, "well, did they leave their phone number?"
"Yes," Wen Ling handed a note in his hand, "here you are, president."
Quan Zhengting took over and was about to speed up his steps to his room. He thought of it again and said to all the people, "you've heard that. You'd better get ready today. You'd better go and buy a suit of clothes again. And, lingzhi and Mindu, go and tell their husband and wife to get up and sleep in all day."
Wen Lingzhi quickly agreed to go to work, and the Quan Zhengting speeded up and went back to his room.
No one is interested in having a good time any more. Yuanxinhui also keeps up with her husband. She has to call home to ask her mother-in-law how their two children are doing. A few days ago, when their husband and wife had an accident, their mother-in-law, who originally lived in the countryside, came to take care of their children temporarily and then continued to stay, so that they could easily come to Hong Kong for a holiday.
However, mother-in-law dotes on the two little guys too much, which is not good. She can only tell them from time to time. After experiencing these things in recent months, both husband and wife understand that house, car, stock and other things are unreliable, and they still need to be able to do so. Therefore, they are already planning to send the two little ones to the United States to study as soon as they are completely stable.
Finally, only Cheng Taixi himself slowly returned to the room.
Cheng still doesn't know who the big boss behind them is. Instead, he knows a Miss Chen from China.
China.
Cheng Tae hee is not one of those ignorant and arrogant South Korean people at the bottom of society. She knows very well that China's rise in recent years has been very rapid, at least twice the size of South Korea's economy. Not surprisingly, it will only throw South Korea further in the future. However, I didn't expect that they would establish contact with China. Even if there is Chen Qing, maybe the big boss behind the scenes is also Chinese.
There is no resistance.
After so many things, let alone national pride, she has become a negative emotion towards her country and even more.
Cheng Taixi just felt that it was a bit like going back hundreds of years ago.
