America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 100 The Irresistible Mixed Charm 510
Abel was in David Mellon's resentful eyes.

While on the phone with another David.

New York City, 120 Broadway, Manhattan, World Financial Center.

Even if the World Financial Center is placed in the entire United States, it is also a landmark building in the United States.

Its designer is the famous architect Cesar Perry, and it is a complex of four skyscrapers.

Well, next to it is the Twin Towers, which Abel is very taboo.

Merrill Lynch occupies the entire 34 floors in Building [-] of the four towers.

Merrill Lynch,
Chief Financial Officer Charlie Scharf is discussing the corporate bond division with President Stanley O'Neill.

Stanley O'Neill is an African-American, which is very rare on Wall Street.

Some claim that Stanley O'Neill is the new chapter of Wall Street.

It is a new trend in the financial world.

These accolades, plus Stanley O'Neill's own ability.

Let him occupy a high position after working for Merrill Lynch for more than ten years.

Today's Stanley O'Neill is one of the presidents of Merrill Lynch.

But his power in the company is even above the CEO.

Because it has won the trust of shareholders and has top-notch political power.

Coupled with appeals among blacks, Stanley O'Neill is already rumored to be the CEO of Merrill Lynch.

This made his reputation and strength in the company stronger and stronger, and the entire Merrill Lynch Securities was about to become his monopoly.

Charlie Schaff, the Russian chief financial officer, happened to be Stanley O'Neill's man.

So what Charlie Schaff said at Merrill Lynch is sometimes more powerful than the current CEO.

"Charlie, I know you are very optimistic about that young man." Stanley O'Neill said:

"But I think this matter is still too risky."

In a small conference room, Charlie Scharf watched Stanley O'Neill.

He knew what O'Neal was referring to.

"Stanley. It's not just us making this decision.

Including Goldman Sachs and Lehman, they all made the same decision. ’ said Charlie Schaff.

"But our quota is the largest. There are a total of [-] million U.S. dollars." Stanley O'Neill said.

"The more principal, the more profit."

"But the risks are also going to be greater."

"Okay." Charlie Schaff simply showed his cards, "Boss, the contract has been signed, and the funds have been transferred.

What's the use of telling me these things now? "

"I just want you to be more cautious." Stanley O'Neill shook his head.

In fact, this time, Merrill Lynch won a private equity share of US$[-] million from Smith Capital.

On the Merrill Lynch side, many executives opposed it.

They feel the stakes are too high.

But Charlie Scharf insisted, and Stanley O'Neill stood up for his own people.

So in the end, Merrill Lynch still took a share of [-] million US dollars from Smith Capital.

Only afterwards, Stanley O'Neill muttered many times.

Charlie Schaff was a little annoyed by hearing that, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Who told Stanley O'Neill to be the head, and the one who supported him the most.

With that in mind, Charlie Scharf suggested, "Maybe we can see where the Wolf of Wall Street puts his money?"

Stanley O'Neill hesitated after hearing this, but finally nodded.

Merrill Lynch is one of Smith Capital's LPs and is qualified to supervise the flow of funds related to Smith Capital.

At the same time, Merrill Lynch, as one of the largest financial companies, is also one of the middlemen and market makers of Smith Capital.

Such a giant has the ability to monitor the flow of some of Smith Capital's funds on its own side.

what?
You say it's immoral?

Violation of relevant financial regulations.

Ah!
Wall Street does it all!
As long as the customer does not know, or is not caught by the customer and the relevant departments.

That's fine.

The two left the bond department and came to the customer department where they could monitor the flow of funds.

After the chief financial officer and the most powerful president revealed their identities.

Relevant staff will naturally cooperate infinitely.

So soon, Charlie Shaf and Stanley O'Neill passed through the secret channel of Lin Securities.

Understand the flow of part of the funds of Smith Capital today.

Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff are old financiers.

Those ordinary people will have a headache when they see it, and they can't understand the information flow after seeing it.

It is easy for them to distinguish the flow of part of Smith Capital's funds by judging the information.

"International crude oil and London gold?" Charlie Scharf said in surprise: "It seems that our wolf of Wall Street wants to find food in these two areas."

Compared with Charlie Schaff's focus, Stanley O'Neill's focus is on the amount of funds.

"Twenty times leverage, 60 million U.S. dollars in capital. This is [-] billion operations. All of them are placed in London gold. Isn't this risk too high?" Stanley O'Neill said.

"It's only $60 billion," said Charlie Schaff. "Should be fine."

"Charlie." Stanley O'Neill's voice became serious, "You know, we are just one of Smith Capital's middlemen.

I hear they work with all the big banks.

Then, for our [-] million US dollars, other banks or financial groups should also have corresponding funds. "

"If it's all this amount, if it's all this leverage ratio. If it's all this way."

"Then you still think "it should be okay"?"

When Charlie Schaff heard the black president say that, he immediately thought of the direction Stanley O'Neill was thinking.

This made Charlie Schaff's heart beat faster, and he couldn't help but said, "It shouldn't be so crazy, right?

If all the money was flowing like this, the number could be... tens of billions of dollars? "

"It's crazy to invest tens of billions of dollars in the London gold market," said Stanley O'Neill.

"Charlie, you really got me into trouble!"

Hearing what the president said, Charlie Schaff turned a little pale.

And on the other side, the Woolworth Building here.

Smith Capital, identified by Stanley O'Neill as "big trouble".

After three hours of thrilling operation, it began to come to an end.

Just now, the United States announced the non-agricultural data for August this year.

An increase of 40 people is expected to be 85, and the pre-set is 100 million. The actual announcement is far from the pre-announcement and expectations. It is the smallest increase since January. At the same time, the unemployment rate was announced to be 8.2%, a substantial increase.

As soon as the news came out, the excited expression of David Mellon beside Abel turned into excitement.

After reading the entire relevant information, David felt that it was almost time to write the good gold on it.

Sure enough, London gold rose sharply after the sound, from volatility to rising, up 7 points, or 0.512%.

The sideways market lasted for a short time, and news was announced one after another.

"Desert in the Desert"

"European banks release dovish tone"

"Inflation rate increased by 3.2% from the previous quarter"

"Neon central bank announces interest rate cut"

"The Fed's Ease"

"."

Report after report is full of wealth codes that are good for gold.

At this time, David Mellon beside Abel was already jumping and shouting crazily.

"FZZK! Abel, Abel! You are my god, you are the god of finance!"

"My God! The non-agricultural data is fine. The Fed's attitude is barely predictable."

"The situation in the desert, the attitude of the European Bank, and the Neon Central Bank, how did you guess?"

"My god! In the financial field, you are a prophet, you are a god, you are a god!!"

"."

David Mellon was so excited that he was incoherent.

Those who didn't know thought he was crazy when they saw it.

The only ones who could compare with his excitement were the five traders in the safe room.

The five of them also blushed with excitement at this time.

It's like drinking fake wine, or getting high.

But traders, you can't vent your excitement by yelling like David.

They will continue to watch the market and continue to complete Abel's orders one by one.

In the case of all kinds of bullish news, the price of London gold has stopped in Bengbu.

Then, like a wild horse running wild, it sprinted upwards, and countless short sellers had no time to react, and their positions were instantly liquidated and closed.

The large-scale forced liquidation caused the price of gold to continue to rise.

The current price of London gold is 365.770.

Soared 53.07.

An increase of 19.925%.

Close to 20.00%, a very exaggerated figure.

Abel didn't hesitate, and at the moment it rose, he quickly gave orders: "Clear the warehouse, as much as you can clear above 360 ​​points."

The traders received the orders and proceeded in an orderly manner, and one after another large sales orders were continuously thrown out.

Floating profit becomes real profit.

The market is very enthusiastic. Since the beginning of this year, gold has fallen by a total of 100 points.

Crude oil is so high again, and there are constant disputes in the desert area.

The emotions that have been suppressed for a long time in the global investment market have completely exploded at this moment.

Under this premise.

After more than 500 billion cleared, the price of gold fell by less than two points, and it was quickly restored within tens of seconds.

Smith Capital all left the market and made a profit of US$25.64 billion from London Gold in three hours.

At the Smith Capital Safe House, David Mellon was naturally yelling and venting his excitement with the traders who had finished their work.

And in Manhattan's No. 34 International Financial Center, Merrill Lynch on the [-]th floor.

Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff,
It also witnessed the outflow of 3 million funds from Smith Capital.

Then it turned into a scene of almost $5.9 million in funds flowing back.

This scene made even the well-informed Stanley O'Neill and Charlie Schaff.

Also a little dumbfounded.

"What happened?" the black president Stanley O'Neal asked in a daze.

Charlie Scharf reacted faster, and immediately asked the operator to call up the relevant information.

After a few minutes of inquiry, Charlie Schaff made a relatively correct judgment.

"The outflow of funds from Smith Capital is for long London gold futures."

"And in just one hour, the London gold market has reached a surge of 70 points +."

"Smith Capital then returned quickly, presumably it was an arbitrage exit."

"Mr. O'Neill, obviously this time, the Wolf of Wall Street made a lot of money on London Gold."

Stanley O'Neill could understand information that Charlie Schaff could understand.

It's just that Stanley O'Neill is better at maneuvering, and his reaction to this is slower.

"It seems."

"Indeed," said Stanley O'Neill softly.

Charlie Schaff was in high spirits: "Smith Capital's capital on our side has nearly doubled the profit."

"Then his funds in other banks or financial groups should have similar profits."

"In other words, this guy made a profit of at least a billion dollars in just a few hours!"

Stanley O'Neill frowned and had to admit: "It's possible."

Seeing Charlie Schaff's excited look, Stanley O'Neill added: "It seems that you are right, Charlie."

Stanley O'Neill said excitedly: "It's all because of your trust and support."

Seeing that he was still so sensible, Stanley O'Neill nodded in satisfaction.

"Well, it's time to get off work." Stanley O'Neill said, "Let's go first. If you need anything, please contact me, Charlie."

"clear."

In fact, what happened at Merrill Lynch today.

There are many giants who have cooperated with Abel and have subscribed shares in his private equity fund.

Both did similar things to Stanley O'Neal and Charlie Schaff.

That is to monitor the flow of funds related to Smith Capital.

Through this kind of monitoring, we can speculate and calculate the investment direction and data of Smith Capital.

Smith Capital, which does not have its own bank, must use other large banks as middlemen and market makers.

Such monitoring of them is inevitable.

Fortunately, Smith Capital tried to disperse the funds as much as possible, and did not put all of them in one or two banks.

So what they can monitor is only a part of Smith Capital's funds.

The line of sight returned to the Woolworth Building,

After David Mellon and others were overjoyed, they began to return the funds one after another according to Abel's instructions.

Soon, excluding the US$35 billion in international crude oil.

In the capital account of Smith Capital, there are now as much as 25+25+10 billion US dollars of funds.

Among them, 15 billion US dollars is the money of the No. [-] fund.

It's escrow money.

The other $20 billion is Smith Capital's own funds.

The remaining 25 billion is the profit of the three hours just now.

The profit of this 25 billion U.S. dollars will be based on the ratio of 15:10, part of which is the profit of the No. [-] fund, and the other part is the net profit of Smith Capital itself.

"Whoo~"

Looking at the excited David and those traders, Abel ordered: "According to the old rules, I will leave the matter here to you, David."

"Understood." David, whose neck and face were congested with blood, immediately shouted like a red neck.

Abel just nodded, turned around and left without hesitation.

Compared with the excitement of the people behind, he has increasingly regarded this kind of thing as a simple numbers game.

It's just that this kind of numbers game can bring him a lot of green paper.

These green papers can bring his high quality of life, high influence, and high charm.

There is no doubt that compared to the simple appearance and figure.

The charm brought by green paper will be even stronger.

If the two are added together, it is in the country of the United States.

There are basically not many women who can block the invasion of this added charm.

E.g
Not long after it was established, the general manager of the new underwear company named "Elizabeth's Back Garden" was Michael Levin.

He brought two young supermodels, Gisele Bundchen and Carmen Keith.

Obviously, it is difficult to resist the combined power of this kind of mixture.
