Why can Paulson become the "Wall Street God"? Why does even Soros ask him for advice on the subprime mortgage crisis?

The reason is not as simple as him seizing an opportunity.

The reason is that he seized two opportunities in a row.

Throughout the most difficult five years of the financial crisis, many people continued to lose from beginning to end, and in the end they lost even their pants.

But there are also some genius financiers who won at the beginning, only to lose their capital and profits later.

For example, harried manager Falcon and Passport's manager Bubank, these Wall Street hedge fund giants, like Paulson in 2007, also suppressed the "subprime debt crash" and thus made huge profits.

More profits for Paulson.

But in 2008, they were blindly optimistic and believed in the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve, so they turned to strategic funds such as "merger arbitrage" and "convertible bond arbitrage". Unexpectedly, the financial crisis in 2008 was far worse than that in 2007.

In 2006, under the pressure of strong external collapse, they had no choice but to lose everything and their vitality was severely damaged.

Only Paulson.

After successfully judging the subprime debt collapse in 2007, he accurately judged the impending global financial crisis in 2008, so he continued to choose short selling and adopted the investment strategy of "dedicated short selling".

It was a great success, and his personal profits soared from 3.7 billion U.S. dollars to about 6 billion U.S. dollars. It can be called a model of getting rich overnight.

The cooperation between Xiao Qi and Tong Wencong naturally does not end after short-selling the subordinated debt. Xiao Qi will also choose various short-selling methods in the next three or four years, so as to obtain a steady stream of profits for himself.

High returns.

Although Tong Wencong admires Xiao Qi very much now. But in fact, when discussing how to deal with the investment strategy in 2008, he and Xiao Qi still had differences.

Because he is also a Wall Street elite, and like most Wall Street elites, he believes that even if the situation in 2008 is bad, it will not be as bad as Xiao Qi imagined, so he will continue to invest according to Xiao Qi's wishes. But he makes money on his own

Not much of the money withdrawn will be invested.

Xiao Qicai will not care about him.

Saying one thing but actually doing another is not just a Chinese patent.

Tong Wencong is not his subordinate, so he has no right to interfere with what he does, as long as it does not delay his major investment matters.

After a sumptuous dinner, Xiao Qi was sitting in the car heading to Tang Mingxiang's apartment when his cell phone rang unexpectedly.

When I looked at the time, it was already half past two in the morning.

It's little Taylor on the phone.

what happened?

Xiao Qi was just wondering why he was calling at this time, and then he suddenly realized that the little girl must have thought that she was still in China, because it happened to be two o'clock in the afternoon China time.

"Hey, little darling, why haven't you rested at this late hour?" Xiao Qi answered the phone gently.

"Woo~~"

Hearing Xiao Qi's voice, Taylor suddenly burst into tears.

Xiao Qi was startled: "What's wrong? Little darling, what's going on? Don't panic. I'll take care of everything!"

Taylor sobbed: "I...I...I'm sorry, husband...Austin has caused a lot of trouble for you..."

The young man breathed a sigh of relief: "I thought it was something. They just found a gold limited edition dreampad. It's nothing!"

"I've been recording for the past two days and didn't notice it... But when I went home just now, Austin came over to admit his mistake, and I realized..." Taylor said guiltily, "You don't have to lie to me. Now the dreampad website

There's been a big fuss up there. I heard that many people are going to boycott Dreampad, which will have a big impact... If I had known better, I wouldn't have given it to that bastard! Austin, that bastard! I beat him, he

You still dare to run..."

The scene of Austin being beaten to pieces appeared in Xiao Qi's mind. He smiled and said, "Baby, are you at home now?"

"Um!"

"Then just wait for me for half an hour and I'll give you a surprise."

Xiao Qi said a few words and then hung up the phone.

Then, the boy gave instructions to the driver and turned to Taylor's apartment.

This is also the case when Tang Mingxiang is not in New York. Otherwise, on the first night after arriving in New York, he would have gone to his real wife's house. Although Meiji's wife has a straightforward personality, she also has her own persistence in this regard.

After asking the bodyguards to find a hotel nearby, Xiao Qi took the elevator alone and arrived at little Taylor's apartment.

As a pop diva who has attracted much attention, Taylor has moved two or three times. Firstly, there are too many paparazzi, and secondly, there are safety reasons.

The apartment she lives in now is a very high-end luxury apartment. Although it is an elevator apartment on more than 30 floors, the house price is much more expensive than a single-family villa in the suburbs. The security measures are even stricter. Many celebrities are here.

There is a house.

Little Taylor had already given Xiao Qi the access card to the apartment and sent it to China. It was just in use this time. Otherwise, he could only inform Little Taylor before he could enter, and there would be no surprises.

"Ding dong~"

After ringing the doorbell, it took a while before there was any movement inside.

When the footsteps came to the door, Xiao Qi, who had a good hearing, clearly heard a rush, as if everything was knocked over.

But, whocare?

When the door opened, a beautiful and pure girl suddenly threw herself into Xiao Qi's arms. She kissed Xiao Qi's face desperately with her little mouth, and bursts of the girl's body fragrance hit his nostrils.

There was a large bouquet of red roses in Xiao Qi's hand behind his back, and he almost fell to the ground without being thrown by the little girl.

It took a lot of effort for the young man to hold the girl's slender waist with one hand and place the flowers in front of Taylor with the other hand.

Under the warm light of the entrance, the white jade dimples reflected the color of bright red flowers, making the beautiful girl look so charming that Xiao Qi couldn't help but close the door and kissed her fiercely.

Her sweet and smooth lips and tongue.

During the lingering moment, little Taylor desperately stuck out her uvula, making it easier for Xiao Qi to taste her fragrance, so that the flowers in her hand fell to the ground without knowing when.

"Oh~ It's all your fault for being too impatient~ The flowers have all fallen!"

It was not until the lingering moment that the almost powerless girl struggled to hold up the flowers on the ground.
Chapter completed!
