Feeling someone calling to him, Cheng Taixi wakes up in the bedroom of the Gulfstream V-type business jet, sees Lily favel standing at the door, knocking on the door, sits up, subconsciously greets him in Korean, reacts and asks in English, "are we arriving?"

Lily favel nodded with a smile: "yes, Miss Cheng, there are still ten minutes left. It will be bumpy when landing. It's not safe to stay in bed."

Cheng Taixi nodded, plucked his disorderly hair from his forehead, and then asked, "can I comb it first?"

"Sure," lily favel motioned to the bathroom door on the side of her bedroom. "But as soon as possible, ten minutes."

Cheng Taixi agrees. When favel turns to leave, she lifts the thin quilt and gets out of bed and enters the bathroom next to her.

After a simple grooming, Cheng Taixi comes to the living room of the middle cabin. Chen Qing doesn't know if she has had a rest. Anyway, she still looks energetic. She is leaning against the leather chair by the porthole to read the documents.

After saying hello, Cheng Taixi sits opposite her with Chen Qing's signal. Another maid beside her, Christie Latham, sees her awkward appearance and takes the initiative to help him fasten his seat belt and return to his position.

The pilot's hint came from the cabin radio. It was a soft female voice. Cheng Taixi waited for the other party to finish, and then he took the initiative to talk to Chen Qing: "Miss Chen, now, um, what time is it?"

"Do you ask Los Angeles?" This time, Chen Qing didn't give up on the lack of nutrition. She raised her arm and looked at the limited edition Patek Philippe on her wrist. She said, "east coast time, 11:32 a.m., you can adjust your watch."

Cheng Taixi agreed, quickly followed, also said with a smile: "did not expect, have been a day."

Chen Qing looked up at her: "you're stupid. It's still Saturday in America."

Cheng immediately felt that Chen Qing had returned to "normal". Of course, he did not dare to reply. He also reflected that according to the time difference, the United States seems to be more than ten hours later than Asia. However, they still feel a little strange. They set out for North America at more than two o'clock in the afternoon on Saturday, November 1 in Hong Kong. Instead of moving forward, they retreated for three hours.

The Gulfstream V began to reduce its height. Cheng Taixi did not speak any more. He held the handrail with a little tension in his hands, and then he could not help sticking to one side of the porthole and looked down. Below is a chessboard like city, crisscross and far from the regular chessboard. This is Los Angeles.

The city of angels.

Cheng Taixi also secretly looked for it, but unfortunately, she was sitting on the right side of the East-West flying Gulfstream V cabin. She could only see the southern scenery of Greater Los Angeles. She could not see the shell villa in the middle of the seaside town named Malibu in the north.

Just some regrets, suddenly came a voice: "if you are not afraid to fall, you can go there to have a look."

Cheng Taixi was startled, a little guilty, and then felt that the fuselage had trembled slightly, and quickly shook his head: "no, no need."

Chen Qing asked again: "English is so good, you must have been to the United States?"

"I've only been here three times," Cheng said, adding, "I used to be mainly responsible for receiving overseas customers at home, but in the past few years, I've been to Europe more."

Chen Qing nodded. She had seen Cheng Taixi's detailed resume. He majored in administration at Seoul University. After graduation, he entered Kia automobile and worked in some departments. Because of her good appearance and excellent English, she had been working in a customer reception and media public relations team of Kia automobile facing overseas for several years.

Thinking of this, Chen Qing suddenly remembered an interesting thing she saw when she looked through Kia's materials and looked up at Cheng Taixi: "speaking of Europe, I'm very curious. How did Kia think of going to the UK to build a car factory? The executives who made this decision are really genius?"

Cheng Taixi felt the obvious irony in Chen Qing's tone. Even though he had no feelings for Kia, he explained: "this is to open up the European market."

"There is no need to invest a lot of money to build new factories. In recent years, with the bankruptcy of British automobile companies and the relocation, kia can take over some ready-made factories, and the cost will be much lower," said Chen Qing. Without Cheng Taixi's reply, Chen Qing shook her head and said, "what a genius."

Cheng Taixi was speechless.

Frankly speaking, if it wasn't for Kia and even most of the chaebols in South Korea who have blindly invested heavily in the world in recent years, the crisis in South Korea may not be so serious.

Therefore, Cheng Taixi himself can't deny that the executives who make such a decision against the trend are indeed "geniuses" when they go to a country where related industries are rapidly declining, labor costs are expensive, and Trade Union environment and industry regulations are heavily restricted to invest in the construction of automobile factories.

A born fool.

Gulfstream V landed at Los Angeles International Airport, and the Party passed through the VIP passageway. Three black Mercedes Benz cars were waiting outside.

Cheng Taixi doesn't know which car to take, but Chen Qing shouts him. He follows her to one of the Mercedes Benz. When the car starts, he thinks of another thing. He wants to talk but stops.Without waiting for her to ask again, Chen Qing said, "the luggage will be sent to our residence. Don't worry about it."

Cheng Taixi nodded.

Mercedes Benz quickly left the airport and entered the downtown area of Santa Monica. Cheng Taixi's previous trips to the United States can only be regarded as a cursory visit. At this time, sitting in a luxury Mercedes Benz car, looking at the city street scenery on both sides of the road, which is not much different from his previous trip to Los Angeles, Mo Ming has a different feeling that he can't say.

Next to Chen Qing quickly asked again: "does it feel different?"

Cheng Taixi has been used to Miss Chen's close observation ability like mind reading. He doesn't deny it, but he can't say anything different.

Chen Qing once again talked about a theory she had grasped for a long time: "it's very simple, because you are now standing at a different social height. If you are just an ordinary middle class, because the social level is too low, whether it's Los Angeles, New York, London or Paris, you run around. In fact, it's not much different from shuttling through different streets in Seoul. It's just a waste of air tickets. You can't see the real scenery because of financial constraints and eyesight constraints. "

Cheng Taixi wants to refute a little, but has to admit that even if she doesn't think she sees anything now, it seems that it is.

When Chen Qing finished, she saw Cheng Taixi's thoughtful appearance. She reached over with a smile, pinched each other's chin and said, "so, Cheng, remember to cherish the opportunity I gave you."

"I will," Cheng Taixi and other Chen Qing answered, obediently turned to her, slightly bowed to promise, and then asked, "Miss Chen, when can we, I mean, see Mr. westrow?"

"I don't know," Chen Qing said, shaking her head. "We may not see each other these two days, so we have to go back to New York first."

Cheng was disappointed.

Chen Qing laughs: "miss a man?"

Cheng Taixi slightly shyly shakes his head and denies: "it's not."

"I didn't say that I don't want you to think about it," Chen Qing said with a smile. "But I can only think about one person, that is our boss. If I know that you miss other men, I will make you never see a man again."

Cheng Taixi keenly felt that the girl next to him was not joking at all, and even said: "I, I won't, I promise."

Chen Qing asked: "what guarantee?"

Cheng Taixi face slightly red: "I promise, just want to, Mr. westrow alone."

"Good."

The motorcade passed through Santa Monica, entered the rich area of Brentwood, and soon followed the winding mountain road to a hillside mansion in Brentwood heights.

The main villa is a three story mixed style of Mediterranean and American countryside. The yellow wall and red roof show obvious Mediterranean flavor. The base of the villa is the stone appearance of American countryside. It is slightly square without the typical arch of Mediterranean architecture.

After greeting the waitress team, Cheng Taixi follows Chen Qing into the main villa. The two-story seven meter high hall is decorated in a warm yellow and light gold style. It looks simple, bright and luxurious against the crystal chandelier which is also on at the top in the daytime. The stairs leading to the second floor on one side of the hall are obviously widened, which is more and more magnificent.

Cheng Taixi is still looking at her secretly. Chen Qing has ordered the arrangement quickly and orderly. Noticing Cheng Taixi who is in a daze beside him, Chen Qing calls a maid: "take her around. Come back quickly. We'll have lunch later."

The waitress came forward and made a gesture of invitation. Cheng Taixi nodded to Chen Qing, knowing that she had something to do with her and left obediently with the waitress.

sent away to tae hee, and Chen Qing explained that the other waitresses and their attendants were busy. Then they had to take the lead to greet their own Isabel Dunn, and looked at the girl's chest and joked, "ISA, you are getting bigger and bigger. Are you touched by the boss?"

Isabel Dunn, who is already one of the leaders of the Wai family's retinue team, is very fond of the Asian girl, who is popular with her boss and is very sociable. She never forgets to bring gifts to them every time she comes here. Although they don't see each other many times, they are just like old friends at first sight. Hearing this, she turns her eyes and says, "I hope so, but I haven't once."

Chen Qing said with a smile, "I see. That's why it's getting bigger and bigger. If you continue to work hard, sooner or later you will get the boss's attention."

"No matter how old I am, I want to cut it off. It's troublesome."

After a few words of gossip, they went to a living room on one side of the hall. After sitting down, they waited for the waitress to deliver coffee. Chen Qing tilted her cup on the sofa and asked, "how are the boss and his wife doing?"

"It's all very good," Isabel answered, not as casually as Chen Qing, holding the coffee. "By the way, my wife told me before I came here that if you bring a lot of gifts this time, just send them quietly. Also, you can meet the boss in Malibu studio on Monday morning. It's not convenient in recent days. "

Chen Qing knew that this was not Janet's sudden indifference to herself. There must be a reason. She asked curiously, "what's the matter?"Isabel whispered a little, and said, "my wife's eldest and second brothers have come from Australia in recent days to visit domay point manor."

Chen Qing immediately understood that this was definitely not suitable for the past. However, she had some gossip and curiosity. She raised her hand and made a slight gesture in the air: "that, that What about it? "

But Isabel understood and gave her another look: "Jennifer is tacitly accepted by the johnstons. You can't match her."

Isabel's tongue was poisonous, but Chen Qing didn't mind. She said with a smile, "yes, we can't compare."

[Reading welfare] pay close attention to the public.. number [bookfriend base], draw cash / count money every day when reading.

after talking and laughing for a while, Isabel refuses Chen Qing's invitation to lunch together. As she is about to leave, Chen Qing remembers that since these two days are not suitable for her to go there in person, she will give Isabel Jin Yongsan's personal letter to let her know She took it back to domay point to her boss.

Isabel is a confidant who has worked for the Westeros for many years. Moreover, although the letter came from the president of South Korea, its content is not top secret. Chen Qing is very relieved about it.

……

Cheng Taixi walked around the swimming pool, garden, viewing platform and tennis court outside the manor. He only felt that it was really big. Compared with the crowded Seoul and the three-quarter acre mansion on the top of Taiping mountain in Hong Kong a few days ago, it was just Simon westero One of the many properties under his name.

Finally, they went back to the terrace overlooking Los Angeles and enjoyed the scenery for a while. Until the maid who had been accompanying her was informed, they returned to the main villa of the peak luxury house in Hong Kong, whose floor area was obviously larger than that of the peak luxury house in Hong Kong.

During lunch, facing Cheng Taixi's inquiry, Chen Qing didn't entertain her either, saying that she would never have a chance to see Simon westrow this time. On Monday, they would go to New York together and wait until they have a chance.

Cheng Taixi's heart is disappointed, but also a little lucky.

The disappointment was that she couldn't see the legendary young tycoon this time. Fortunately, she was not unwilling, but worried that the tycoon would look down on her.

I'll see you later. Anyway, I'll have a memory.

Although not to see someone disappointed, after lunch, Cheng Taixi went out with Chen Qing, and soon began to feel Chen Qing's words on the bus when she left the airport more deeply and intuitively.

Different scenery of different classes.

From the afternoon to the evening, she followed Chen Qing through the city. Even if she had the courage to set foot, she could only see all kinds of luxury places, all kinds of luxury brand stores, all kinds of VIP restaurants and clubs, and even some small circles she had never thought of before.

In a short afternoon, I didn't dare to calculate how much it cost. Anyway, she couldn't afford it either in the past or now.

We can only look forward to the future.

In the evening, she went to Beverly Hills to attend a Halloween party. All the Hollywood stars she could only see on the big screen were walking around, which made her dizzy.

She was accosted at the party because of her outstanding appearance.

If it is before Chen Qing, Cheng Taixi feels that he will be difficult to resist, and may even commit a flower mania. But, this time, because the mood is completely different, behind me Even if we haven't seen each other yet, it's some kind of Hollywood king after all. Now that I am his woman, I have a little more confidence in front of these shining stars. I can look humble and unashamed. Even when a male star on the big screen entangles too much, I directly scold him.

At first, he was a little nervous after scolding him. He was worried that he would be angry if he was tall. As a result, the man soon left, which made Cheng Taixi more confident and superior to the so-called stars around him.

At more than ten o'clock, he returns to Brentwood heights from Beverly Hills. Chen Qing pulls him to take a bath. It's hard to avoid entanglement. It's 11 o'clock in the night when he leaves the bathroom.

Neither of them was sleepy, so they went to a living room on the third floor with a terrace, where they could directly see the brilliant night scene of Los Angeles like inverted stars.

The two women enjoyed the night view of the city and drank a glass of red wine. After all, it was cold at night. They went back to the house and sat on the sofa together. They turned on the TV at will. Chen Qing, who was still holding red wine, leaned against one corner of the sofa and put her legs on the other side of Cheng Taixi's thigh. Her face was ruddy and she asked with a smile, "how do you feel today?"

How's it going?

Of course, it's very different.

Cheng Taixi recalled that he had been busy like an ant in the past 36 years, which was nothing. However, how to describe it is hard to say.

A little hesitation, Cheng Taixi just said: "here, the festival atmosphere is very strong."

It's Halloween.

When you travel around during the day, you can see all kinds of festival related signs and activities, as well as people wearing all kinds of Halloween costumes.Chen Qing also nodded, but also some regret: "in fact, last night was more lively, the all saints' Eve parade, but we were a day late."

Cheng Taixi has only heard of the Western activities of the night tour of all saints. She has never experienced them personally. She is not sorry. She is really satisfied today. Thinking of one thing, he said: "today, passing a cinema, I saw the big poster of" ghost record "and" evocation 3 ". These are the most popular horror movies in North America recently. Miss Chen, why don't we go to see them together tomorrow?"

"Ghost record" has entered its sixth week of screening, although the box office is still in the remaining force, it has entered the second half of the release.

The most popular one in recent days should be "evocation 3".

However, because of the popularity of ghost record all over the world during this period of time, even in South Korea, Cheng Taixi is full of thunder. The problem is that although the film has also been released in South Korea, and the box office is also hot, Cheng Taixi was not in the mood to see the film some time ago.

Now the mentality is different, plus, this is the film produced by that person's film company, of course, it's a bit more to look forward to.

Chen Qing is also interested in hearing the speech. She sits up a little and feels for her mobile phone. After a little consideration, she starts dialing and explains with a smile: "I want to see it too, but we don't have to go to the cinema. It's crowded there. I asked them to Send a copy and watch it directly at home. Oh, I'm afraid. You can go into my arms. "

Cheng Taixi Lengleng looked at Chen Qing dial the number and began to chat with the opposite, once again long insight.

Is that ok?

Chen Qing and the opposite side chatted for a while, hung up the phone and said to Cheng Taixi, "half an hour."

Cheng Taixi nods. Seeing Chen Qing's calf shaking on her thigh, she quickly puts down her red wine and helps Chen Qing knead it.

While chatting, the TV pictures that they didn't pay much attention to attracted their attention.

Chen Qing motioned Cheng Taixi to turn up his voice, and the discussion on the TV screen suddenly became clearer.

This is an evening financial talk show on local city TV in Los Angeles.

What the host and the two guests discussed on the screen is the financial Sniper War that just happened in Hong Kong in the past week.

After talking about the details of the incident, the host first raised the topic and asked the two guests, "according to the media reports, all kinds of short capital around Hong Kong lost at least $30 billion in this financial showdown. However, many people have raised their objection that there will not be so many. One of their main arguments is that Hong Kong's daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks is only about HK $10 billion, equivalent to only US $1.2 billion. What do you think? "

"I don't think there is much error in the figure of 30 billion."

"Daniel, I think so, too."

"So, Joe, Terry, can you explain it to us in detail?"

Among the two guests, Joseph Wilkinson, a gray haired middle-aged man named Joseph Wilkinson, was shown in the subtitle at the bottom of the screen. He first spoke and showed the host and the audience a poster sized chart: "look, this is the type of financial derivatives in Hong Kong's financial market, including stock index futures, interest rate futures and stock futures. Among them, index futures include Hang Seng Index Futures and H-share index futures just launched in the first half of this year. Interest rate futures include one-month and three-month Hong Kong dollar interest rate futures and three-year exchange fund bond futures. Finally, the list of stock futures is longer. It is not only HSBC Holdings, Hang Seng Bank, Sun Hung Kai and Cheung Kong industries, but also China Telecom and other popular red chips listed last year. In the past few months, all these have been the focus of short selling. Do you know what's the biggest feature of futures, Denny? "

Daniel Corey, the host, was not a baby either. He immediately said, "leverage."

"That's right, leverage," Joseph Wilkinson said. "All these financial derivatives, through the continuous amplification of leverage, have a total scale of hundreds of billions of dollars, and the two sides of these hundreds of billions of dollars are short and long bets."

Another guest, Terry Sandford, whose subtitles show him, then said, "I would like to add that not only the exchanges in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Singapore, North America and Europe, but also all kinds of futures bets can be made around Hong Kong. It is even more difficult for us to know the size of this part of the market."

Terry Sandford said, pause a little, wait for the host and another guest to nod, and then said again: "besides, Denny, I think the biggest problem is that the financial incident in Hong Kong is actually an extreme market like the stock market crash in 1987. The only difference is that this extreme market is man-made. Under the extreme market, it is inevitable that one side of the zero sum game will suffer huge losses beyond the normal state. "

"It's true that Teri is right," another guest, Joseph Wilkinson, said again. "It's rumored in the industry that Deutsche Bank alone lost more than $3 billion this time. Some also said that $4 billion. The problem lies in this. Because the market trend is too extreme, almost all kinds of short bets made by deyizhi end up bursting."

Terry Sandford showed a strange smile and snatched the lead: "it's not just a burst of positions. Yesterday's final settlement day, because the settlement rule is the average points of the whole day instead of real-time trading, which can force many burst accounts to close their positions. As a result, the Hang Seng Index closed too high, I don't know how Deutsche Bank was, but according to reliable information, many of them were empty Although the Hong Kong Futures Exchange has not released specific data, this time, considering that many small bears simply can not afford the additional loss of crossing positions, the Hong Kong authorities can only make up for this part of the loss. "Host Daniel just right slightly wide eyes: "Terry, how much do you think?"

"At least billions of dollars," Terry Sandford said, adding, "just like the one in 1987, which was also a large-scale position crossing under extreme market, the Chicago futures exchange could not afford to pay, and the capital of the wrong bulls could not afford to pay. In the end, they had to seek the emergency rescue of the federal banking system and replenish more than $3.7 billion of margin overnight to avoid the risk To avoid the collapse of the trading system. "

Joseph Wilkinson went on: "frankly speaking, it was precisely because of the extreme market ten years ago that speculative capital saw huge profits in derivatives trading. In the past ten years, the scale of international financial derivatives market has expanded by more than ten times. Only in Hong Kong, this time, the total scale of all kinds of financial derivatives trading far exceeds that of the original Chicago futures exchange I'm not sure

Daniel nodded and said, "in that case, Terry and Joe, do you think that the amount of money that the Hong Kong authorities secretly pay for the position crossing this time will only be several billion dollars?"

When the host said that, the faces of the two guests became strange again. It seemed that they hesitated for a moment. Then Joseph Wilkinson said, "I think, Denny, this is just my personal point of view. In fact, frankly speaking, I think the Hang Seng Index closed at 11507 points yesterday local time, and the Bulls obviously left their hands."

Daniel asked, "why do you say that?"

Joseph Wilkinson said: "obviously, on October 30, the day before the settlement day, the total scale of long short game in Hong Kong reached HK $79.6 billion, which is close to eight times of Hong Kong's previous daily trading volume. You should be able to imagine. On this day, according to our judgment, under the strong attack of bulls, the short capital around Hong Kong has basically run out of chips. "

Daniel understood: "you mean that on October 31, the Hang Seng index could have been pulled to a higher position by bulls?"

"That's right," said Joseph Wilkinson. "The trading scale on October 30 was close to HK $80 billion. However, on Friday, the total trading scale of Hong Kong stocks dropped sharply again to HK $34.2 billion, which was less than that on Wednesday. This is a sign that bulls have obviously left their hands."

Daniel asked knowingly, "Joe, there are no chips for short sellers. Are there many chips for long sellers?"

After a moment's hesitation, Joseph Wilkinson continued: "well, we don't need to guess at all, Denny. It's obvious that Hong Kong government plus quantum fund plus The strength of the westero system, not to mention the 80 billion on Thursday, can easily bring the trading volume on Friday to 100 billion Hong Kong dollars. You know, 100 billion Hong Kong dollars is only 12 billion US dollars. "

When he said a name, Joseph Wilkinson obviously hesitated and lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to be heard.

Daniel, the host, continued to try to induce. Unfortunately, it was clear to everyone, but neither of the two guests was willing to say more. Finally, the host had to bypass this topic and continue to talk about the losses of some short sellers in Europe and Asia.

Brentwood heights villa living room.

After listening for a while, Chen Qing saw that the three people on the screen wanted to talk and didn't dare to talk deeply. Somehow, they were so happy that they began to laugh.

With a smile, he simply held his stomach and began to roll on the sofa.

At this time, Cheng Taixi, who is also in the game, of course understands why Chen Qing smiles. With some pride in her heart, she smiles together. The man who is superior to himself is really amazing According to an inappropriate but inexplicable Chinese idiom, talking about Tiger turns pale.

In fact, it is.

Many people know that this financial incident in Hong Kong is a large-scale hunting of short capitals from other parts of the world led by a westrow system. However, it is one thing to know in mind and another to say it.

The small media will be prosecuted for talking nonsense.

You are slandering!

Capitalists care a lot about reputation.

If the big capital is broken, then the question is, do you want to retaliate? Do you have the ability to retaliate?

Since you know that you can't get revenge and you can only suffer dumb losses, what else do you say you want to do? Is it because you want some people to write you down in a small book on purpose, to guard against fear, or even to pit you again in the future?
