Volume Three, Three Years of Facing the Wall, The Volume of Breaking the Wall, Chapter Sixteen
.Chapter 16
On Madoff's table, there was a very ordinary business letter. Although the letter was ordinary, the signature on it was very unusual. If it were actually four years ago, this letter was enough to shock the hedge fund industry. Even now, this name is enough to make those who hear it respect.
Lightning Fund, this lightning-rise fund, earns money in just six years that is incomparable to any other hedge fund. Even Soros, the owner of the same famous quantum fund, admitted that in some aspects, Lightning Fund is undoubtedly the strongest. Although it has been frozen for four years, the reputation of Lightning Fund has not disappeared due to the passage of time. On the contrary, the poor performance of many hedge funds has made the reputation of Lightning Fund a little better.
Of course, Madoff absolutely does not admit that the influence of the Lightning Fund is above Madoff Company. For a while, Madoff thought that the Lightning Fund no longer exists, just like a frozen saber-toothed tiger. Although it still looks intact, it has actually lost all its vitality and is only worthy of appearing as a specimen in the museum.
However, this letter made Madoff realize that although it was frozen for four years, the Lightning Fund did not lose its combat power. Perhaps the four years of ice made its limbs stiff and its movements were not effective. However, in the heart of this beast, the blood of the king was still flowing, rushing and beating, and not weakening a single part because of the ice. Soros did not resist the letter of the king.
However, what the letter said was a bit... too preferential. With his instinctive reaction, Madoff smelled the danger and intuition told him that once he agreed to this matter, then endless troubles followed. The letter was short, with only one line of words: "400 million in cash. Purchase the company's fund."
If you agree, then all the experts will know that Lightning Fund now has to make money on Madoff, which will undoubtedly push Madoff to a new level. In this way, your own career will reach a new level, the godfather of hedge funds! What a sacred name, Madoff's throat was very dry, and he swallowed involuntarily. Should I sign it, Madoff picked up the pen.
"Boss, do you think Madoff will agree with our suggestions?" It's still mobile phone contact. He is too busy now. Whether it's Yu Qian or Zhang Yan, there is no time to meet, so mobile phones have become the best contact tool. By the way, it added a considerable mobile phone fee to China Mobile.
"I can't think of it. But whether we agree or not, I don't think we will lose anything. If we agree, we will give us a chance to redeem it. At that time, it will definitely cause Madoff to be embarrassed, and maybe he can expose his true nature at once. If he disagrees, it means that our Lightning Fund still has a certain deterrent effect, so Madoff dares not make a big splash. In other words, his strength is likely not as strong as he imagined. For us, we can let go of our hands and feet a little, and we don't have to worry about this paper tiger restraining our hands and feet."
"Damn it, I only know why you are the boss, I can only be a younger brother. Hum, I received it, Madoff was really procrastinating. It took two days to reply. Does the boss want to know what Madoff said?" Yu Qian meant to take the opportunity to get it. But this time his wishful thinking was still absent.
"Then I'm sorry, I'm very sorry, and then I'm talking a lot of nonsense. Even if you don't say anything, I can think of it." Zhang Yan said lightly.
"Boss, you are so awesome, I have nothing to say. If I hadn't been with you for several years, I would have thought you and Madoff had already been ventilated. That's right, Madoff said that after the board of directors' discussion, he made this regretful decision, which is really hypocritical. Who doesn't know that the board of directors is his soundtrack. This old fox is really cunning. What should we do next?"
"Don't talk to Madoff first, let's see if the US Securities Regulatory Commission will do anything? I've had a lot of things these days. You should work harder, and also look at whether Madoff has any special next business. Logically speaking, such a mouse will, no matter how well it is, it will be over in the end. Madoff probably understands this principle. A lot of money should be transferred. Once we find the trick here, Madoff's handle will be in our palms. At that time, it will be round and flat, which is not just our words."
Yu Qian choked and said, "Boss, you still have this hobby. I feel a little uncomfortable today. I'll chat about it another day..." The phone hung up, Zhang Yan was a little surprised. Yu Qian was not like this before, why did he be like this today? It's really a bit surprising. Maybe it's really uncomfortable. Zhang Yan thought about it like this, and hung up the phone and saw that it was noon, so he wanted to go out for dinner. At this moment, the phone rang. "***, do you need to build a dam? Why do you need to build it? You are still building a dam here. When the magnitude 8 earthquake comes, even if you don't die of the earthquake, you will probably be drowned by the water." Zhang Yan really didn't expect that such a fatal thing would delay his lunch.
"Yeah, I didn't expect Secretary Zhang to be so expert." Engineer Hu Mingguang on the other end of the phone complimented, but did not notice Zhang Yan's stuttering error.
After stoking his mouth, Zhang Yan burst into tears and asked, "What an expert am I? I don't understand the situation of Zipingpu Reservoir at all. You are an expert, tell me."
Hu Mingguang said a few words, and saw that Zhang Yan really wanted to understand, he was no longer polite, and said, "Zipingpuku area is located in the transition zone between the Yangtze quasi-platform and Songpan-Ganzi trough. This tectonic transition zone is the boundary between the stable area of China mainly based on the platform and the active area of western China mainly based on the trough in western China. Since the renaissance belt, western China has strongly folded and raised, forming a giant fault system that pushes and reverses. It is world-famous
Longmenshan wrinkle fault zone. Due to the strong collision between the continental crust of the Indian Ocean plate and the Eurasian plate, the powerful pushing force generated causes large-scale reverse-blocking tectonic deformation of the Longmenshan fault zone. With the rise of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the lateral dispersion of crustal matter, the Longmenshan fault zone becomes the southeastern border of the Sichuan-Qingxia fault block. Such a section can only be described as pre-crumbed plates. It is not feasible to build a dam on it, it is extremely dangerous, and once an earthquake occurs, it is extremely harmful."
"Well, I understand. I will investigate first and report the situation to the higher authorities as soon as possible. However, I don't care about Zipingpu Reservoir and may not be able to say anything. You have to know this in your mind."
"Xiao Li, bring me one. This is a vegetable ticket, thank you." Zhang Yan stuffed the lottery into the driver Xiao Li's pocket and began to search for information about Zipingpu Reservoir. Zhang Yan was surprised that his opinions on Zipingpu Reservoir were overwhelmingly opposed to Zipingpu Reservoir on the Internet. Experts and scholars agreed on this issue. Zipingpu Reservoir cannot be built, and even if construction has started, it will be a big deal.
There is also a new danger, that is, Zipingpu Reservoir is not a reservoir, it is a link among a series of reservoirs. The peak-shaving operation of Zipingpu Power Station will cause major ups and downs in the Minjiang River water, forming a direct erosion of the fish mouth, causing damage to the fish mouth and other projects, thereby affecting the normal water supply of Dujiangyan. From the purpose of protecting Dujiangyan cultural relics and ensuring water supply, it is also urgent to build the Yangliu Lake Water Conservancy Project as soon as possible. If it is not built, the comprehensive benefits of the Zipingpu Project cannot be effectively utilized, and huge investment cannot be recovered, and it will also be a heavy burden. If the Zipingpu Water Conservancy Project does not have the counter-regulation of the Yangliu Lake Reservoir, it will lose nearly 50 million yuan each year.
