Chapter 242 Layout of NBA and F1(2/3)
David is now in a safe house and has no way to contact the outside world, so he has no way to help Abel with intelligence.
Abel smiled: "Don't forget, I am now a director of four of the five major investment banks."
"Oh~" David suddenly realized. "Okay, then someone among them should have revealed this information to you. Then it seems that this information is indeed true."
Abel smiled and did not respond, but in fact it was not someone from the four major investment banks where he was a director who disclosed this information to him.
The person who told Abel this information was actually Goldman Sachs CEO Paulson.
Paulson quietly called Abel and told him to be careful about these three investment banks.
At the same time, it was made clear that Goldman Sachs did not matter whether it was USD/JPY last time or USD/NOK this time.
Goldman Sachs has not joined.
When he finally hung up the phone, Paulson just said something cryptic: "Say hello to Texas for me."
Although the information revealed by Paulson’s phone call may be false, it may be an attempt to cover up Goldman Sachs’ subsequent entry.
But Abel believes that at least Paulson did not lie to himself about the entry of three other investment banks.
Tell Abel about the entry of these three investment banks.
Under normal circumstances, Abel would obviously put most of his vigilance on these three companies.
In that case, if Goldman Sachs really wants to enter the market halfway, it will have some advantages.
Analyzing from all aspects, at least this part of what Paulson disclosed should be true.
While chatting with David, Abel also told these things.
However, he did not say that it was Paulson who said it, but blamed it on his status as a director of the four major investment banks.
David thought for a while and said calmly:
"Boss, I think this is the case now. There may be more than just these three investment banks entering the market. There must be more institutions entering the market. There are currently more than 1.2 million USD/NOK short contracts on the market.
With such a large amount of funds, there will definitely be no less than ten institutions entering the market."
Abel agreed with David's judgment.
Genius had already told Abel about this guess before David expressed it.
The difference is that David made this judgment based on experience and knowledge.
Abel did it through talent.
"Boss, what's our next strategy? Or ten thousand moves a day?" David said.
Smith Capital currently holds a total of 180,000 USD/NOK long orders.
"Forget it." Abel shook his head, "Stop opening positions. Currently, I only hold this number of positions. Just wait for my order."
After thinking about it, Abel added: "By the way, the safe house status will be lifted. You can go home and have a rest. In the short term, USD/NOK will not change much."
Abel's next command made David startled.
"Unlock safe house status?" David wanted to confirm again.
You must know that this is the first time that Smith Capital ended the financial safe house status before the investment was completed.
In the past, every time I entered and exited the safe house, it was only after harvesting leeks.
"That's right. Since we have stopped opening positions, there is no need to continue to maintain them."
"This is my order." Abel said calmly.
David didn't have much idea, he just wanted to confirm.
"Understood." David said, "My king, we will only follow your will."
This guy. Abel even wants to ask David Mellon if he has been reading too many Neon Chuuni comics recently.
Abel felt that David was getting more and more average.
May 23.
USD/NOK is stuck in a strange state.
It has been maintaining the fluctuation of 7.6050-7.6100.
There are more and more funds piled on the plate, and the number of lots is increasing.
Yesterday, there were still 1.2 million lots, with a capital of about 120 billion US dollars.
At noon today, the number of hands has reached around 1.5 million.
The amount of funds is about US$150 billion.
This strange situation made the Norwegian government and banks, which had been sitting on the sidelines, panic a bit.
If the amount of funds and contracts continues to pile up, it will reach an amount that Norway and the Norwegian krone cannot bear.
Once it collapses, the consequences will be very detrimental to Norway in every aspect.
The Norwegian government and Norges Bank wanted to take action, but the market seemed turbulent and they did not dare to take action.
Just have to continue to wait and see.
In this strange state of affairs USD/NOK.
Abel was in the Brandy Restaurant where he had dinner with little Laura and Li Xinyu last time.
Abel received a guest from China.
The height of this Chinese guest is very exaggerated, as much as 2.26 meters.
The Chinese guest was wearing a well-fitting suit that looked weird because it was too big. He sat opposite Abel and acted a little reserved.
"Hi, yaoming, right?" Abel looked at the young Chinese giant in front of him and greeted with a smile: "How about I just call you Yao from now on?"
"Of course." The little giant opposite said cautiously and politely: "You can call me whatever you want, I will accept it."
"Your English is very good." Abel smiled.
"Thanks."
The 2.26-meter-tall giant saw that the ghost in front of him spoke so kindly and had such a gentle attitude.
The little giant felt relieved.
The little giant is a Chinese and is twenty-one years old this year.
As early as 1998, he was selected for the Chinese basketball national team.
Little Giant participated in the 1999-2000 Chinese Men's Basketball League A, and his team won second place.
He personally won three individual awards for rebounds, dunks and blocks in the China League A in the 1999-2000 season.
Last September, the Little Giant participated in the men's basketball competition of the 27th Olympic Games held in Sydney, and cooperated with his teammates to finish tenth.
It was probably around that time that Little Giant began to think about developing in the NBA.
He started to make preparations, such as starting to learn English.
According to the Little Giant's thinking, it may take two or three years before he can hope to try out for the NBA.
The little giant never expected that someone would come to him at the beginning of this year.
At first, the giant Yao didn't believe it at all and thought he was a liar.
Before the giant Yao came to think of it, how could the NBA notice him so quickly.
But later the other party found some big shots, and under the guarantee of the big shots, Giant Yao learned of the other party's sincerity.
Then in March this year, he officially received an invitation to this year's NBA draft.
This made the giant Yao know that he could really go to the NBA to develop.
Then he took care of domestic affairs with the help of important people.
This year's NBA draft is only one month away.
He flew over in advance to adapt to the climate and jet lag here.
Only after arriving here did the giant Yao know that he could come to the NBA early.
It was because a big shot in the United States knew of his existence and asked him to come here by name.
After knowing this, the giant Yao, who was already good at English, secretly checked the information of this big shot.
It would have been better not to check, but this check surprised the giant Yao.
It turns out that the big man who invited me here is actually so famous in the United States, and he is extremely rich.
He is even the owner of an NBA team!
The other party just wanted me to play on his team, so he brought me over in advance.
This made Giant Yao feel uneasy in his heart.
The little giant with a kind-hearted personality is a little worried that he has failed to live up to the big shot's expectations, and is also worried that he will not be able to join the big shot's team.
He simply thought that since this big shot brought him here, he wanted to help him play.
