Wall Street Legend

With the arrival of Joseph Hale, the number of people present expanded to seven, including Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, KKR, three hedge funds, and a trust investment company. The leader was a middle-aged white man from the KKR Group.

This company is one of the oldest private equity investment institutions in the world. It has a total of eleven senior partners. Its main business is to acquire and reorganize enterprises. It is best at management buyouts and manages more than 300 companies worth more than 300 million yuan. billion in investment assets.

Several partners of KKR Group accidentally paid attention to Ye Dongqing's industry. They felt that relying on their own strength was not enough, so they asked Merrill Lynch and several other relatively powerful hedge funds and trust fund companies for help. Joseph Hale was pulled over by an executive from Merrill Lynch. They needed to know some information and hoped that Citigroup would not provide more financial support to Ye Dongqing.

Wall Street is made up of small circles, just like a pack of wolves hunting cooperatively on the prairie. It is difficult to crack a hard bone if you pick it out alone, but it is different if you have help.

At that time, the financial tycoon Soros recruited a group of people and successively conquered the United Kingdom, Mexico, and Southeast Asian countries. By the way, he also harvested a wave of bears from the north. As the U.S. dollar expanded globally, the scope of activities of this group of capital merchants also increased. Getting bigger and bigger, they will appear wherever there is profit, plundering wealth by buying low, selling high, or directly shorting.

Washington has always turned a blind eye to this. Even if there are violations, it doesn't matter because it is in the interests of the United States and the meat is rotten in its own pot.

They are relatively consistent externally, but also fierce internal fighting. The starting point is still the word "interest". They can work together to attack countries with financial exchange rate problems, and they can also work together to try to carve up Ye Dongqing's wealth. wealth.

Honestly.

His low profile has no effect, or it was effective until he was targeted, but recently he has been regarded as weak because of his low profile. He is too young. Even if he may become a predator, he is still just a half-grown crocodile cub. , they felt they had discovered the weak belly of Tamsui Investment Group, which was its staggeringly high debt.

What makes them even more happy is that Tamsui Investment Group only gives investors interest, and other returns from the investment have little to do with the investors.

This means that even if they take action, without causing Ye Dongqing to go bankrupt and losing the interests of investors, the investors will not rush to help, which leaves an opportunity...

There is also a big difference between the super rich and the super rich.

Some people don't have much money, their companies have extremely high debts, and their wealth is mainly concentrated in book wealth, while some super-rich people control an entire country and have a large amount of resources, cash, national debt and other stable assets. The royal family of Brunei and the United Arab Emirates The royal family, the minds of some dictatorships, etc. all fall into this latter situation.

As long as there is no war, the latter is relatively safe, but Ye Dongqing is different. More than 95% of his wealth is book wealth, and he also has extremely high liabilities.

Mr. Bernard Madoff Sr. has been struggling on Wall Street for so many years, and he has gradually figured out something. Ever since Ye Dongqing showed signs of being targeted, the old man began to have trouble sleeping and eating. After thinking about it, he finally realized He took the money and went to Russia for a "vacation" in the name of inspecting the market, leaving his wife and children at home.

On June 2nd, when a heavyweight New York prosecutor came to the door with a search warrant, he naturally did not see Bernard Madoff Sr., but only sealed his company and seized the employees and computers working there. , paper materials were taken back for investigation, and Mark Madoff and his family were also taken away.

Ye Dongqing received the news immediately.

Old Bernard Madoff personally called. After recounting the general story, his voice trembled slightly: "Leo, you can't ignore me this time. I will definitely go to jail. I have nothing left! My gang Investors will soon receive the news and the shortfall will be exposed!

God, someone wanted to target you this time, which led to me being implicated... I know you are a good person with a very sense of justice, so you must help me! You have seen our cooperation during this period. I have not done anything to feel sorry for you! "

Such a bad situation, but Ye Dongqing actually wanted to laugh a little after hearing the old man's words, thinking that he was indeed an old fox, and he could seize the opportunity to slip to Russia early, which has no extradition treaty with the United States. This premonition alone was enough to make him laugh. He admired it.

I thought about the possibility of directing and acting, but it was quickly rejected. The news of the Ponzi scheme was exposed, which was absolutely harmful to the old Bernard. His reputation and status disappeared in an instant, and he even had to face prison.

The potential opponents were clearly visible, which actually made Ye Dongqing feel a little more at ease. Fortunately, he didn't invest all of his money. Fortunately, he made some money recently. Judging from the current capital flow, even if there is a run, the consequences will probably be acceptable. , it is nothing more than disrupting the plan, and there is still a chance for a comeback, so that his vitality will not be seriously damaged, and his core interests, that is, those companies and shares will not be touched.

"I understand sir, I am happy to help you. After all, helping you is also helping me, but you will only arouse greater suspicion in Russia, so it is better to come back first.

Now I need you to call all the investors, ask them to come to New York, and shut their mouths tightly, including your son and wife. As long as they don't involve me because of the Ponzi scheme, I can To help you get out of trouble, got it? "

Ye Dongqing calmly comforted the old Jew. Now all Bernard could count on was Ye Dongqing. After being silent for a long time, he replied: "I will book the earliest flight back. We won't tell. Who will ask?" These are just normal investments and have absolutely nothing to do with you. Just call them later. My phone is almost buzzing with calls, one after another, my God..."

After learning that his investors were being asked to find him, Old Bernard was a little relieved, because this was not like what he would do if he was prepared to stay out of the matter. Now he was completely panicked.

It can be expected that tomorrow's financial headlines will be quite exciting, so Ye Dongqing is preparing to contact those people to control the situation within an acceptable range. The word "Ponzi scheme" is very lethal to investors, God knows In order to get the money back, what would they say to the media? If they make a big fuss, the gang behind the scenes will succeed. Already well-informed investors have been calling Ye Dongqing one after another, asking him what happened. .

Mr. McCord came in a hurry, with only a layer of sweat on his forehead. After rushing into the office, he sounded panicked: "Do you know what happened to Bernard Madoff?"
