Chapter 156: Huge Profits in the Foreign Exchange Market
,
The press conferences of the two teams lasted for about forty minutes, and it happened to end at about the same time. When they came out, they met.
"Feilong, Jordan just said that you can't compare with him. He has too many hard honors, but you have nothing."
The team reporter Thomas happened to be there too, he yelled like a conditioned reflex, and then prepared to watch the show.
"I'm only 20 years old, and everything is possible in the future." Zhao Dong laughed.
Jordan said coldly: "Age doesn't mean anything. Too many fell in the middle. How can meteors compare with the sun?"
Zhao Dong nodded, but said confidently: "You are right, your career is definitely great, but my future career will definitely not be a shooting star.
Michael Jordan, you can't stop me, and Malone's elbow can't stop me. This season, I will step on you and start my great career. "
"oh!"
Hearing Zhao Dong's face-to-face challenge and provocation, Thomas cheered excitedly.
Jordan stared at Zhao Dong with sharp eyes like a sharp sword, and said word by word: "Rookie, no matter how strong you are, my attack can crush you into..."
"You lost the g1 game." Zhao Dong interrupted Jordan.
"you?"
The half of the words were still in his mouth, and Jordan was so angry that he wanted to curse, can't you wait for me to finish?
"Flying dragon..." Thomas yelled again.
Zhao Dong and Qiao Dan glared at him immediately, damn it, is it over yet?
But Thomas didn't care what the two thought, and shouted: "Coach Phil Jackson said just now that you and Jordan are the absolute core of their respective teams, and they both have the same importance. What do you think of this sentence?"
"Cunning fellow."
Glancing at Phil Jackson, whose hair was still gray, Zhao Dong cursed secretly.
This sentence is likely to cause problems in the Knicks' locker room, because Phil Jackson completely ruled out Ewing.
He glanced at Ewing next to him, and there was something wrong with his expression.
"He's playing psychological warfare, we have to hold on to it. If you beat the Bulls, you won't be able to escape the championship." Zhao Dong immediately whispered.
"I know." Ewing nodded.
To be honest, Zhao Dong's super performance in the playoffs has convinced him. He has no idea of controlling the team at all, so he actually doesn't take Phil Jackson's words to heart.
Of course, there is some discomfort and discomfort, but this is a normal mental activity of an aging superstar.
After finishing Ewing, Zhao Dong turned to Thomas and said, "The Bulls only have Jordan. Everyone knows that. But in the Knicks, basketball is played by five people. Besides Ewing and me, there are many teammates. We are a team. Everyone is important, including the substitutes."
"Ha ha!"
Thomas laughed.
The Knicks management and Ewing next to them also looked very comfortable.
On the contrary, the expressions of the Bulls management, Phil Jackson, and Jordan have changed a little.
"Michael, don't underestimate that rookie, he is the best leader player just like you." When returning to the visiting team's locker room, Phil Jackson urged.
Jordan nodded and said, "I know how to do it. But, Phil, I don't want to lose again in the g2 game. You have to come up with a way."
"I know I know." Phil Jackson nodded.
The next day, the news that the Knicks defeated the defending champion Bulls was flying everywhere, occupying the headlines of major media.
Zhao Dong's 40+ triple-double and Jordan's 69 points both occupy a very large space in it.
In particular, the major TV stations repeatedly broadcast Zhao Dong's last ball that killed the Bulls, as well as the action of celebrating in advance.
Before Zhao Dong's name, all the major media have unified the prefix of superstar.
He also has another prefix, which is Magician 2nd.
Of course, this prefix has not been affirmed by most of the media, but the New York media boasted.
This morning, Knicks star and Hall of Famer Willis Reid accepted media interviews.
"Willis, some media say that Dragon is the second magician, do you agree with this statement?" New York Sports News reporter asked.
Ridd laughed uncontrollably, isn't this media just you guys?
He laughed: "It is indeed a little early to say this now. But once the Knicks win this year's championship, then this statement will be the most correct."
"What do you think the chances of the Knicks winning the championship?" The reporter asked excitedly.
"Um……"
Reed hesitated for a moment, and said: "Although the Bulls lost a game, no one dared to underestimate Jordan. It is still very difficult for the Knicks to reach the finals. The West, whether it is the Jazz or the Mosaic, is a super strong team. We The chances of winning a championship are really hard to say."
But the New York media did not agree with Willis Reed's statement. They announced their chances of winning the championship in the noon sports news of New York TV.
The Knicks are impressively first, with a 71% chance of winning.
Followed by the Bulls, the probability of winning less than half of the Knicks.
Then there are the Jazz and the Mosaics, which are less than half of the Bulls.
"The New York media is entertaining itself, as long as they are happy."
Sitting at the lunch table, Jordan said very bluntly in a telephone interview with the media.
Zhao Dong was also interviewed by the media. At this time, he was sitting in Lindsay's car and said to the media: "This probability guess is very conservative, it should be bolder."
"Puff!" Lindsay, who was driving, laughed.
Looking at Lindsay who was smiling like a flower, Zhao Dong didn't bother to continue the interview, and hung up the phone after saying a word.
Today, in order to make Zhao Dong sit comfortably, Lindsay drove an ordinary Mercedes-Benz SUV without the air conditioner, the windows were open, and the wind howled in, making Lindsay's long hair dance in the wind.
Zhao Dong caught a wisp in his hand and played with it casually.
Lindsay noticed it, and cast a reproachful glance at Zhao Dong, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he didn't stop him.
"Flying Dragon, has Michael Jordan's check been mailed to you?"
"He sent it here before you came. He is still a gambler, and he is willing to admit defeat." After winning the game, he could still win Jordan's money, Zhao Dong almost laughed.
"By the way, Avril, you are studying in a business school, have you ever invested before?" He suddenly asked.
"There are some financial investments, how about you?" Lindsay asked.
Thinking of the gains he made during the Asian financial turmoil during this period, Zhao Dong almost burst into laughter. He said triumphantly, "I recently played in the foreign exchange market, and I made a pretty good profit."
"Forex market?"
Lindsay was stunned, and said: "Since February this year, the Thai baht has fluctuated violently, and the decline has reached 30% until now. The speculators are very powerful, and the layout is very early, which has driven a lot of international hot money. This is the most promising currency this year. The foreign exchange market of opportunity. Did you make money here?"
Seeing Lindsay's surprised expression, Zhao Dong nodded triumphantly and said, "Yes, 2 million US dollars, entered the market in February, with 100 times leverage, and the profit on the account has reached 21 million US dollars."
Lindsay's eyes widened, a thousand percent profit?
She invested five million U.S. dollars, and with the same 100 times leverage, she only earned more than five million U.S. dollars. How did this guy operate?
After arriving at the reserved restaurant and entering the private room to order, Lindsay asked curiously, "Feilong, did you operate it yourself or your agent?"
"I set a general goal, and the broker will operate it. Hehe, in his eyes, I am the god of the foreign exchange market." Zhao Dong said proudly.
"The foreign exchange market is too dangerous. I don't know how many talented investors jump off Wall Street every year. Be careful." Lindsay reminded immediately.
"Of course, I'll just play this once, and I won't be involved in the foreign exchange market in the future." Zhao Dong laughed.
Nodding, Lin Saidao: "Ten times the profit, one hundred times the leverage, according to the financial trend in Asia in the past few months, your operation is not an extreme risk operation. Do you know, this time the broker with the highest profit margin , it is said that with a principal of one million, he earned 60 million U.S. dollars."
"Wow, so powerful?" Zhao Dong asked in surprise.
"No swearing."
Lin Sai glared at Zhao Dong lightly, and said again: "Don't envy him, your operation is better, his extreme operation, the ability to bear risks is too low, maybe he will be the next person to jump off the building. "
Nodding his head, Zhao Dong said: "That is, although I want to be exciting, I don't want to take too many risks."
"Have you done a lot of research on Asian finance? You entered the market in February, just in time for the crisis in Taiguo." Lindsay asked curiously again.
Zhao Dong rubbed his head, how should I say this, do I tell you that I was born again?
He said: "It's like this. Actually, I don't do much research, and I don't have any sources of information. The main reason is that I heard two financial brokers talking about this during a meal, and I heard a little news."
"Are you crazy?"
Lindsay said unhappily: "Dare to enter the market to speculate in foreign exchange after overhearing a little news? The risk is very high, what should I do if I lose?"
"Hey, I don't have a mortgage or credit, so I won't go bankrupt. Aiweier, do you play this too?" Zhao Dong said.
"There are some, but I don't mainly do this, I mainly do long-term stock value investment." Lin Saidao.
"How much did you earn this time?" Zhao Dong asked.
"Five million, double the profit." Lin Saidao.
Of course Zhao Dong knew about his own affairs, he knew the general trend, and it was possible for him to earn so much, and Lindsay was able to earn so much, that's not bad, and he must also know some news.
"You have a source?" he asked quickly.
Lin Sai glanced at Zhao Dong and said, "After I became an adult, I have no relationship with my father. I am left to fend for myself. He will not provide me with these resources, and his family will not allow it.
My information was provided by my godmother, Mrs. Dorisa, whose husband is a credit officer at a Swiss bank.
My foreign exchange account is also opened at the Swiss Bank headquarters. Mrs. Dorisa is now the director of the investment department of the Swiss Bank headquarters, and she manages funds for me. "
Zhao Dong recalled the situation in the last generation of Taiguo, and knew that Taiguo would announce the abandonment of the policy of pegging the Taicoin to the US dollar on July 2nd, and there would be a sharp drop in the Taicoin immediately, with a drop of 100% on that day 20%, which also completely triggered the financial turmoil in Taiguo and Asia.
He has already decided to fight once with the highest leverage, and stop when he earns.
But even if it falls by 20% in one day, there will inevitably be intraday fluctuations, so the reserve fund must be kept.
He is going to invest 10 million U.S. dollars, and another 10 million as a reserve fund to prevent the explosion of the warehouse, which can bear the fluctuation of two points.
In addition, he still has seven or eight million dollars in his hand, which he also puts in as a reserve fund, which can withstand greater fluctuations, which is more secure.
A 20% drop in one day, and a 400-fold leverage of 10 million US dollars, all eat up the drop, which is 80 times the profit. He is going to make it, which is a profit of 800 million US dollars.
At worst, if you eat half of it, there will be 400 million, and if you eat 80%, there will be a profit of more than 600 million.
Of course, this is his dream, and he definitely dare not operate like this in reality, because if he dares to do so, any fluctuations can make him liquidate.
He can use a hundred times leverage at most, and twenty times the profit is enough.
As long as he earns this time, he won't have to worry about money anymore in his life.
"Aiweier, I think the financial market of Taiguo is far from calm. Taiguo's economy is in a quagmire, and there is likely to be a chance of an explosion. Do you want to draw a fund to play with?" He asked.
Lindsay made him feel really good, and she was very simple, but unfortunately he believed in Catholicism, he had no idea of becoming a Christian, and now he had no plans to start a family, so he couldn't pursue her.
He didn't know whether he would regret it in the future, if Lindsay was chased away by others, whether he would meet such a girl who made his heart beat, but one thing is for sure, he didn't want to lose this girl.
Hearing Zhao Dong's proposal, Lindsay hesitated for a moment and said, "I've already drawn out the five million I earned this time, so let's transfer it here. Let your manager handle it?"
"No, I'm going to open an account in a Swiss bank. How about letting Mrs. Dorisa manage the funds for me?" Zhao Dong asked.
His idea is that eggs cannot be put in one basket. Although Hoffman is not bad, he doesn't want to expose too much profit to the same broker.
For the funds this time, he plans to open more accounts, one in Switzerland and one in the United States, which is safer.
"Of course, she does this job." Lindsay laughed.
"Thanks."
Zhao Dong is not a fool. Swiss Bank is known as the safest bank in the world. This year, it was formed by the merger of Union Bank of Switzerland and Swiss Bank. It is the second largest private asset manager in the world. There must be a lot of news about such a bank. As the head of the investment department of the headquarters, Madam Dorisa's ability is unquestionable. Without Lindsay's relationship, her little funds are not qualified to be managed by others.
"Avril, have you maintained a good relationship with Mrs. Dorisa?" he asked.
Lindsay explained: "Her family has been with my father's family for centuries, and she herself was a classmate and close friend of my mother, very close.
After my mother died, she gave up her job and took care of me until I was twelve years old. She was also my godmother, my second mother. It can be said that she is my closest and only family member now. I trust her very much, and I am also very grateful and respectful to her. "
Zhao Dong nodded, such a person is indeed worthy of trust.
Lindsay suddenly smiled and said, "You know, the American media hyped up the news about me and you. After Mrs. Dorisa found out, she made ten phone calls in a row to keep me away from you. She even planned to come here in person. side."
"Well, I'm not a bad person." Zhao Dong said awkwardly.
"You're not a bad guy, you're just a playboy." Lindsay smiled until her eyes narrowed.
"Nonsense, I haven't had a girlfriend for a long time. Since I entered the NBA, it's just the former Alice. After breaking up, I haven't looked for it again."
Zhao Dong quickly argued.
"Where's that Korean beauty a while ago? Haven't you had any scandals with her in the past few days?" Lindsay asked.
Zhao Dongdao: "How can I have time to ask her out now? Let me tell you, Ai Weier, I have never touched her, I haven't touched a woman for several months..."
Lin Sai glared at Zhao Dong and said, "You keep telling me these things, you really hate it."
After lunch, the two discussed it and decided to have dinner together, but instead of eating out, they made it at home.
The two ran to the supermarket to do some shopping, and then came to Lindsay's home.
"Ma'am? When did you arrive?"
Lindsay opened the door and said in surprise when she saw a middle-aged Caucasian lady in her thirties sitting on the sofa opposite.
Zhao Dong behind was also startled, is this Mrs. Dorisa?
He took a look. The lady had a gentle and elegant demeanor, and her calm eyes revealed shrewdness and rigor. From the outside, she looked like a high-class person.
