The financial turmoil in mid-October caused a feather in the US junk bond market.

A large amount of short-selling capital has made a lot of money, and more people have lost their money. Therefore, whether it is for the purpose of introducing a scapegoat to attract media and public opinion, or other other ideas, Cersei Capital's secret involvement in this crisis does not seem to be kept secret.

October 21st, Saturday.

The "Daily News" in New York suddenly published a press release titled "Westero is here, and the stock market crash is here."

The article recalled the Japanese stock market crash caused by Simon’s last trip to Melbourne to visit his girlfriend in a joking tone, and then pointed out that before the “small crash” on October 13, Simon Westero and Janet Johnston happened to be in New York for a week.

If it's just these, of course it's nothing.

However, as a gossip newspaper with a similar positioning to the "New York Post", the "Daily News" has exposed many inside stories of Cersei Capital in its press release, including even the most core net asset value. Finally, I brought the topic to Cersei Capital and the Australian consortium to participate in the promotion of the collapse of the US junk bond market, and then make huge profits through short selling.

Cersei Capital made $1.6 billion this week, and there is nothing wrong with this article in the "Daily News".

However, the intention of this article is obviously not so simple.

It's just that the public opinion guidance of'Cersei Capital and the Australian Consortium to destroy the US junk bond market' can be regarded as a sinister intention. This is entirely an attempt to label Simon a'beautiful traitor' to lead a wolf into the room. Simon has no sense of belonging to the country he is in, but he also understands what impact this trend of public opinion will have on his personal image and business map.

Therefore, the public relations team of Westeros immediately fought back against this article in the "Daily News", pointing out that the amount of short capital targeting the U.S. junk bond market exceeded 30 billion U.S. dollars. The forces dominate. Moreover, the root cause of the collapse was caused by companies such as United Airlines ignoring their own strength and over-issuing bonds. The “Daily News” attempted to blame Cersei Capital for the collapse of the junk bond market as a complete slander.

Westeros not only made a public counterattack, but also asked the "Daily News" to retract its article and apologize on the front page of the newspaper. Otherwise, Westeros will file a lawsuit with the "Daily News".

As a supplement to this counterattack, Daenerys Entertainment immediately announced the withdrawal of the movie advertisement originally planned to be placed on the "Daily News".

James Rebold also personally called Mortimer Zuckerman, the boss behind the "Daily Mail", to remind him implicitly that if necessary, Daenerys Entertainment could promote at least half of the major Hollywood studios. Withdrawal of advertising for the "Daily News", and all other newspapers and magazines of Zuckerman Publishing Company will not be welcomed by Hollywood.

The continuous increase in Hollywood film marketing costs means that any major film company is an important advertiser of mainstream media platforms in the United States. Naturally, Mortimer Zuckerman cannot afford to lose most of the Hollywood market. As a result, the "Daily Shimbun" announced the withdrawal of the previous day's article the next day and made an apology on the front page.

The "Daily News"'s rapid compromise in just one day seemed dramatic. Westeros's rapid and powerful blow made many people realize that a powerful capital force was already here. The country is faintly formed.

The reason why nouveau riche is called nouveau riche is that these people often lack the power and background equivalent to their personal wealth. Even if your wealth is ten times or a hundred times that of other established families, you will still be ignored by others.

If Simon Westeros is just a nouveau riche who suddenly has billions of dollars in net worth, the American media advocating ‘freedom’ will simply ignore Westero’s demands. The compromise of the "Daily News" obviously means that this wealthy upstart who has risen rapidly in just three years has established a potential power and influence comparable to his huge personal wealth.

Therefore, although Westero’s pressure on the "Daily Shimbun" carried a very obvious meaning to cover up, out of fear of Simon Westero, the "Daily Shimbun" announced the withdrawal of the article and apologized. , Other mainstream media in the United States are very cautious not to continue discussing a sensitive topic.

No matter how vigorous a flame loses combustibles, it will not spread into a fire.

Major newspapers voluntarily ignored it, and no one discussed it on mainstream TV stations. The argument of the "Daily News" was quickly dissipated in other news waves after a brief flash.

In the final analysis, this is the power of capital.

However, although no media dared to draw Simon up to trends such as "beautiful traitors", the fact that Cersei Capital participated in shorting the North American junk bond market has been settled.

Just discussing how much money Simon Westero made again, or exploring the inside story of Cersei Capital, such a topic seems not to be a taboo. Some newspapers published similar articles after several scratches on this topic that was destined to attract attention. Seeing that Westeros was no longer dissatisfied, other media began to follow up.

The inside story of Cersei Capital’s operation is of course not accessible to anyone. Most newspapers get only semi-public news leaked through some less secretive channels like the Daily News.

However, there has never been a lack of interested people in this world.

The creation of Cersei Capital's No. 6 to No. 10 sub-funds is not a secret to some people, but most insiders have ignored some deeper information.

For example, where did the capital of sub-funds 6-10 come from?

The net value of Cersei Capital's 1 to 5 sub-funds achieved 100% growth in less than a year. Some people naturally think that Simon Westeros wanting to raise a large amount of additional funds is completely easy, naturally not It is easy to focus on the specific source of this money.

However, there will be exceptions to everything.

Manhattan.

For reasons that everyone knows well, Noah Scott, who once helped Simon Westero operate S&P 500 index futures in the 87 stock market disaster, has been in charge of a Lehman Brothers subsidiary specifically targeting overseas financial markets since the end of last year. Derivatives hedging and arbitrage team operating.

Now, in less than a year, the US$1.5 billion capital managed by this team has increased to US$2.6 billion.

The 70% profit rate makes Noah Scott the most high-profile young executive within Lehman Brothers. However, he has spent the past few months in a faint anxiety.

Because of the need to focus on the Japanese market, Noah Scott did not intervene in the operation of the US junk bond market that Lehman Brothers also involved. The ‘small crash’ of the U.S. stock market on October 13 and the subsequent summary of various aspects of information made Noah Scott gradually affirm his own speculation.

American Express headquarters at Rockefeller Center.

Although it was Sunday, several core executives of American Express, including James Robinson, the CEO of Lehman Brothers’ parent company American Express, and Noah Scott’s father Nelson Scott, who are also senior executives of American Express, gathered in a conference room at the headquarters. Hear Noah Scott's confidential report personally.

"I have carefully studied the operation of Cersei Capital for the Japanese market. According to the information we have obtained from various aspects, the operation of Cersei Capital is clearly divided into three stages. The first stage is probably from the end of last year to March this year. To be precise It was before Simon Westeros accidentally fainted due to overwork that Cersei Capital’s operations were mainly conservative and stable. It was a long-term trend investment, which should be led by Simon Westero himself. 3 From January to July, Cersei Capital’s operation became radical, and there were many ultra-short-term, high-leverage and high-risk investment cases. As a former classmate, I can determine that Janet Johnston should be in charge of this period."

Noah Scott paused when he said this, and quickly continued: "After July, Cersei Capital's operating methods are incomprehensible."

James Robinson was originally looking through a copy of Cersei Capital's insider information collected by Lehman Brothers using a large amount of resources, contact information channels and even some disgraceful means. Hearing this, he raised his head and asked: "Noah, what do you want to express? "

Noah Scott sorted out his thoughts and said: "Jim, since Simon Westeros went to Melbourne at the end of June, Cersei Capital's operating methods have changed significantly again. This time it is not Wester. The style of either Lowe or Johnston is neither conservative nor radical. It is just a high percentage of positions that continue to be bullish on the Japanese stock market."

Noah Scott’s father Nelson Scott said at this time: "Besides Noah, Westeros and Johnston, isn’t there another person in charge of Cersei Capital? The boss of the Johnston family, Anthony Johnston, maybe he took over the operation?"

"Anthony Johnston is only responsible for the finances of Cersei Capital, and is not involved in the specific operations. Moreover, Janet Johnston is obviously better. How could Cersei Capital’s investors make Anthony who are not familiar with these businesses Johnston takes over?"

Another executive asked: "Maybe Janet Johnston's energy has shifted to North America?"

"Impossible, even if Janet Johnston's energy turns to North America, she will definitely stare at Japan. Cersei Capital's operating style for the Japanese market cannot be completely changed," Noah Scott said. No longer selling off, said: "So, I have always suspected that something happened in Cersei Capital that we could not detect. I have been troubled by this in recent months. It was not until the recent collapse of the junk bond market that I Get it."

Everyone in the meeting room looked at Noah Scott.

Noah Scott simply got up, walked to the whiteboard at the front of the conference room, picked up a pen and quickly wrote, while explaining: "Simon Westero rushed to Melbourne at the end of June, Cersei Capital 6-10 sub-funds in early July Established. During the same period, Cersei Capital's 1 to 5 sub-funds changed their operating styles for the Japanese market. Until recently, according to the information we got, Cersei Capital’s shorting of the federal junk bond market will not be less than US$3 billion. .3 billion US dollars, such a huge sum of funds is impossible to raise silently. So, let’s think about it carefully. Where did the 6 to 10 sub-funds come from?"

Having said that, Noah Scott didn't really make everyone guess, and he directly drew a few arrows in succession to lead the Cersei Capital 1 to 5 sub-funds on the whiteboard to the 6 to 10 sub-funds.

The scene was all top professional elites who had been in the industry for many years, and no more reminders were needed from Noah Scott. James Robinson, who had a chill on his back, stood up and blurted out: Westeros has left the field!"

The Japanese stock market has recently surpassed the 39,000 point mark and went straight to 40,000.

If Simon Westero had already cashed out in July, it is now the end of October and everyone has been fooled for more than three months. More than three months have passed, and Lehman Brothers' large sums of funds are still completely in the Japanese market. So, who dare to say what will happen next? !
