Chapter 1378: Tisman's conjecture

Zhou Ming pays great attention to business reputation and will do whatever he promises. Therefore, after Freeman's phone call, he really never called anyone. But as Zhou Ming thought, his not calling does not mean that others don't know. Zhou Ming was communicating and contacting Europe, but there was no movement in the United States, which made many people start to think about it.

Tisman is a wealthy family behind Citibank. He has also been strongly supporting Zhou Ming's family since the establishment of the Internet Communications Investment Bank.

Compared with the domineering and arrogant nature of Rockefeller and Morgan, as a rising star, Tisman has always pursued a low-key and peaceful attitude, especially for Zhou Ming, who is difficult to deal with. Therefore, Tisman believes that his relationship with Zhou Ming is not very good, but it is definitely not much worse.

The news that the European Central Bank was about to be established and the euro was about to be issued also shocked Tisman. Of course, he could guess that this was Zhou Ming's work in order to protect himself. Even as a financial giant, Tisman immediately thought of shorting the United States.

Later, when Zhou Ming called Europe and asked Europe to delay the establishment of the European Central Bank, Tesman further confirmed his guess: Zhou Ming deliberately made such news, in addition to stabilizing his position, he also hoped to short the United States and make a big profit in the US futures market.

Of course, Teesman also understood that the US market is very large, and it is impossible for Zhou Ming and his European partners to eat. Zhou Ming must find a partner. This is the purpose of calling Europe; then after calling Europe, it is the turn of the United States.

But what Tesman never expected was that he waited from night to the next morning.

At some point, Tesman was already asleep on the recliner. When he opened his eyes again, the sun had already come out. He picked up his cell phone, and there was no missed call on it.

Tisman's face immediately became gloomy, and he felt something bad had happened.

Tisman was able to calm down, so he didn't call Zhou Ming or anyone else because he knew that no matter what happened, the result would always appear, and he didn't have to hurry up.

As expected, at 9:30 in the morning, when the New York Stock Exchange opened, Tisman immediately received news about Zhou Ming: Zhou Ming was operating Internet communications investment banks applied for a large number of short-term loans from major banks such as Citibank Manhattan Bank and Motto Bank. In addition, it also borrowed a large number of index futures contracts from brokerages such as Motto and Wall Street.

Most people may not understand what Zhou Ming is doing, but for Tisman, who comes from a financial family, this should not be too clear: he is planning to short the United States!

Borrowing a loan first means hoarding funds, using financial leverage to borrow a large number of stock index futures contracts through contract margin, ready to sell at any time, suppress the US stock index, wait until the stock index falls to a relatively low point before executing a buy, and return the index futures contract to the brokerage firm. Such a high-selling and buying low-selling operation is a complete financial speculation, that is, shorting the US profit.

Doing this is undoubtedly risky, because if the US stock market does not fall in the future, then Zhou Ming will suffer a lot, and the short-term loan interest rates of any commercial bank are quite high.

Due to the huge total capital market value of the United States, no single market can complete the manipulation of the US market.

Therefore, few people have always shorted the United States.

If Teesman learned this news two days ago, he would definitely laugh at Zhou Ming for dying, but now, Teesman is unprecedentedly solemn, because he is very clear that due to the news from the European Central Bank and the euro, American capital will definitely flow out of the United States in the future, which will inevitably lead to an overall decline in the stock market, that is, Zhou Ming's strategy of shorting the United States will definitely succeed.

Even Tesman knew that Zhou Ming had called Europe several times last night, all for this matter.

But... I didn't call myself.

Tisman felt uneasy. Could it be that Zhou Ming didn't take him to play? But he had not had any evil with Zhou Ming.

Then the butler's words found the answer. The butler told him that Freeman of the Rockefeller family had called Zhou Ming last night, and after that phone call, Zhou Ming did not call anyone about shorting the United States.

The housekeeper said he didn't know the specific matter, but Freeman should have threatened Zhou Ming from the news from the Rockefeller and Morgan meeting.

"Damn it, Rockefeller and Morgan, they want to eat alone!" Tesman slammed the table and cursed.

Why don’t you call yourself after calling Europe? Doesn’t you need domestic capital cooperation?

This is obviously impossible. No matter how big or small the wealthy families in Europe have always had limited influence on the US market. Therefore, if you want to better operate the US market, it is better to require the cooperation of the US consortium.

So you are not qualified?

This is even more impossible. As one of the three largest banks in the United States, Citibank has unquestionable capital strength. If it wants to short the United States, it will definitely be the first choice for cooperation.

But Zhou Ming did not call himself, but after Rockefeller, there was only one reason left, that is, Rockefeller and Morgan were preparing to eat alone and deliberately threatened Zhou Ming not to call others again.

Tesman thought so in his heart, and the more he thought about it, the more he was, the more he was.

However, as the wealthy family behind the low-key Citibank, Tesman was still very calm. Although he was so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, he decided to figure it out a little more.

Teesman first called McCormiswood and several other giants who were not that close to Rockefeller and Morgan, but had a certain status in the American capital world, asking them if they had received a call from Zhou Ming and asked if Zhou Ming had discussed any plans with them.

The answer they got was that none of them, and even they doubted whether there was a conspiracy behind this.

"It is obvious that the news from Europe is coming out. If there is no good countermeasure, the future capital outflow of the United States is destined, so there is a good opportunity to short the United States now. Zhou Ming, that guy, has called Europe, but he didn't call us. Today he secretly started shorting himself. Are the two bastards, Rockefeller and Morgan, going to eat alone?"

The suspicion from the other end of the phone made Tesman feel more and more confident, because he was not alone.

Tisman still did not draw a final conclusion. He also made the last call, which was called Zhou Ming, and he needed to get the final answer from Zhou Ming.

"Mr. Zhou Ming, I need you to tell me truthfully, do you mobilize the funds of Internet communication investment banks?

It's about shorting the United States, why don't you tell me? And the phone call Freeman called you last night, what did you say?" Tisman asked very directly.

When Zhou Ming on the other end of the phone heard Tisman's question, he was very happy. He knew that his plan had been successful. Tisman would ask this proves that he had already doubted this matter, so he wanted to make this doubt grow bigger and bigger.

Zhou Ming was happy, but he seemed very embarrassed: "Mr. Tisman, I think you must have misunderstood somehow. Although the funds were not entirely used in Internet communications this time, according to the investment banking system, I still have the right to do this. Invest in other industries that do not belong to Internet communications but can also get corresponding benefits."

"Mr. Zhou Ming, there is no need to say such boring words. You know what I'm asking." Tisman said coldly.

Faced with this direct question, Zhou Ming seemed a little hesitant. Tisman said at this time: "Mr. Zhou Ming, I think we have been getting along very well all the time, and there is no grudge or entanglement between each other. Or does Mr. Zhou Ming think that my Tisman family is easy to bully?"

"No, there is absolutely nothing!" Zhou Ming blurted out and replied anxiously.

"Then please tell me what Freeman said on the phone yesterday!" Tisman asked in a intensive tone.

Zhou Ming was silent for a while, sighed heavily and said, "Actually, Mr. Tisman, have you guessed it, right?"

"But I need Mr. Zhou Ming, please tell me in person." Tisman continued his verbal oppression.

"Why is this necessary? I can't say it."

Zhou Ming then made a miserable attitude that was deeply oppressed by the US imperialists: "Mr. Tisman, look, I am a Chinese. I came to the United States from China thousands of miles away. I am helpless here, and no matter what I do, I can't help myself. Mr. Tisman, I know you are a loyal believer of God. Do you disdain to do some things with original sin, right?"

Can't help yourself?

Teesman immediately thought he had grasped the key, so he immediately asked: "Then I'll change the question, you just need to answer yes or no, for example, Freeman threatened you on the phone yesterday?"

"Yes." Zhou Ming answered without hesitation.

After getting the answer he wanted, Teesman then asked: "Freiman threatened you not to call me and McCormy because they wanted to eat alone and take the interests of shorting the United States alone?"

This time, Zhou Ming did not answer again, but changed his method: "I'm sorry, Mr. Tisman. I can only say all the news about shorting the United States or this time in Europe. Otherwise, I will have trouble, even on the phone."

Teesman didn't continue asking because he already understood that although he was on the phone, he could still be monitored, right? Especially at this special time, Rockefeller and Morgan's reputation was not very good.

"I get it, you needless to say, I've got the answer," said Tisman.

Before Zhou Ming could finish his thanks, Tisman hung up the phone directly.

Tisman, who hung up the phone, gritted his teeth: "Rockefeller and Morgan, do you think you can get rid of us like this? Stop dreaming!"
