Chapter 1226 Clues

Hong Kong, No. 1 Harbor Road, Wanchai District, can be called the five-star Grand Hyatt Hotel in the eye of Hong Kong Island.

It was early Wednesday morning, October 29th.

Cheng Tae-hee, who has been staying in this hotel for a week, has recently gotten used to morning swimming. Every morning after getting up and before breakfast, he has to swim in the hotel's bathtub for a while.

This is some kind of psychological shadow.

After the incident in Seoul on October 18, she was approached by the Seoul police early the next morning and taken away.

During the interrogation, 36-year-old Sung Tae-hee was scared to pee in the face of threats like life imprisonment and treason.

Literally.

However, on the contrary, it was because of that breakdown, coupled with the willful ridicule of the men in the interrogation room, that Cheng Taixi regained some clarity.

After graduating from Seoul University, she directly joined the Kia Group and worked hard for the company for more than ten years. Not only did her marriage break up because of her work, she even had no children. Now, she is almost middle-aged, suddenly unemployed, and then reduced to a lifelong prison. What is there to lose.

It's better to make a last-ditch effort.

It was probably the sixth sense of a woman's instinct. Cheng Taixi felt that although she didn't know who the boss Quan Zhengting was talking about, she should not let them fall.

So he gritted his teeth.

Even when the interrogators mentioned that several other people had confessed, she insisted on keeping silent.

She was right.

In just two days, she was picked up by a lawyer who came from nowhere. She thought she was released on bail temporarily, but unexpectedly, everything went smoothly and nothing happened.

Not only that, in addition to a huge bonus for each, they also got the opportunity to come to Hong Kong for vacation.

It is a pity that only six of the original nine-member team remained.

Among them is Jin Pingzhan, who has been with her for several months and has already developed a crush on each other. Although the other party is three years younger than her, he is also single. Before the incident, Jin Pingzhan had already faintly expressed his feelings to her. However, on the day of his arrest, in order to alleviate the crime, Jin Pingzhan told everything, and even pushed all the things the two of them did together on her.

To regain his freedom, the first thing Cheng Tae Hee wanted to do was to ask that man if he still had a little bit of responsibility for a man?

However, out of a small team of nine, she only met six in the end.

The lawyer who picked her up said that since the three of Jinping and Pingzhan pleaded guilty, of course they must obey the law.

Sung Tae Hee found it ironic.

And, soon completely forgot about that person.

Afterwards, everyone came to Hong Kong with their families. Only Cheng Taixi was alone. Occasionally, deep in her heart, she couldn't help fantasizing that if Jin Pingzhan survived this time, maybe they could take a trip and get married. I'm a few years older than him, but I can't afford to wait. It's best to have a baby as soon as possible.

Now, thinking about those nasty faces that laughed at her in the interrogation room, and thinking about the disgusting man who wanted to put all the blame on her, Cheng Taixi felt that he would rather find a woman.

Shuttled back and forth in the swimming pool several times in a row, Cheng Tae-hee, who was dressed in a sexy bikini, had a good figure and fair skin, climbed up the handrail and went ashore. Just as he was about to walk to the reclining chair with the bathrobe, someone handed him a big bath towel. This is a A tall white man in swimming trunks, in his thirties, with short blond hair, stubble, and a warm smile.

He also greeted in English: "Good morning, Cheng, how about having breakfast together later?"

Cheng Taixi pretended not to see him, let alone take the big bath towel handed over by the other party, walked to a reclining chair, took out his own bathrobe from the bag and wrapped it up.

The man was obviously not reconciled. After catching up, he seemed to be still patient, but there was some dissatisfaction in his tone: "Hey, Cheng, don't you even want to say good morning?"

Cheng Taexi took out a towel from his bag to wipe his hair again, and looked over, frowning, and said in good English, "Mr. Edel, if you harass me again, I will call the police."

The man's name was Hans Edel.

Since I met Sung Tae Hee during the morning swim four days ago, I will come here every day.

He also introduced himself. He is from Germany and is a vice president of Deutsche Bank's derivatives trading department. He is currently in charge of derivatives trading in Asia.

Cheng Tae-hee didn't have a good impression of men recently, and listening to the other party's self-introduction was not without complacency, it was even more impossible to give him a good face. Obviously, the other party is an international speculator who has turned Asia upside down in recent months. To some extent, it also indirectly contributed to Kia's bankruptcy and her unemployment.

When Hans Edel heard Cheng Taexi's words, he seemed to regret his tone just now, and raised his hands slightly: "Okay, Cheng, I'm sorry, I mean, I thought Korean girls were very gentle."

Cheng Tae-hee's complexion didn't improve at all: "Mr. Edel, please pay attention to your wording, I am not a 'girl', and you are too prejudiced."

After saying this, Cheng Taixi ignored the other party, picked up his bag and walked directly out of the swimming pool.

Hans Edel looked at Cheng Tae-hee's still charming figure even though he was wrapped in a bathrobe, and he couldn't help but feel a little short of breath. He originally planned to give up, but now that he thought about it, maybe he could try two more times, but only twice, as a The top derivatives trader, he is well versed in the principle of timely stop loss.

My time is precious, and it is impossible to waste it on a girl for a long time.

After making up his mind, when Cheng Tae-hee disappeared, Hans Edel also put on a bathrobe, left the swimming pool and returned to his suite in the hotel.

room, went straight to the bedroom.

An Asian girl on the big bed felt that she was being roughly held down by a heavy body, opened her eyes, and then showed some fawning expressions, hugging the man's neck and whispering: "Hans, what time is it now? "

Hans Edel said with a smile: "It's not half past seven, honey, we have plenty of time."

The woman suddenly opened her mouth a little, recovered, and then said softly: "Hans, you said last night that your fund made a lot of money, can you take me to Europe?"

"Honey, let's not talk about this now."

"You, oh, bad guy."

After being hearty, Hans Edel went to take a shower again, got dressed, and went to the hotel restaurant alone.

Coincidentally, I ran into Cheng Tae Hee who was dining with several other people again.

Hans Edel didn't know China's Thirty-Six Strategies, but he also knew the truth of playing hard to get. This time, he didn't go up to pester him, but smiled at Cheng Tae-hee and the others from a distance, and picked out a picture overlooking Victoria Harbor. window position.

A waiter here has already known his habits, and delivered several major newspapers in Asia today, and skillfully accepted the generous tip, and said in Cantonese with a smile: "Mr. Edel, is it still the same?"

Hans Edel also replied in Cantonese: "Of course."

One of the important factors for being sent to Asia is that Hans is fluent in Cantonese and Mandarin, and he can also speak Japanese and a little Korean. However, in front of women, Hans Edel always uses English, because he found that Asia The women around here are more into this, if you use Cantonese or other, you will be looked down upon instead. As for his native language German, it is a pity that not many people understand it.

After the waiter left, Hans Edel picked up a copy of "Sing Tao Daily" and his expression became more serious.

Hans Edel was dispatched directly from the headquarters by the senior executives of Deutsche Bank four months ago to take full charge of the derivatives trading team in Asia. Unexpected events such as the collapse of Barings Bank due to the unauthorized trading of some stupid trader.

In fact, the world's major banks have strengthened relevant supervision afterward. Hans Edel landed in Asia this time, and he also planned to take advantage of the Asian financial turmoil to make a fortune for Deutsche Bank.

From the end of June when the baht was abandoned until now, Hans Edel has gained a lot in the four months.

In Asia, several Deutsche Bank derivatives trading teams located in Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Singapore have held funds or securities whose total value has skyrocketed from $3.6 billion four months ago to $5.3 billion now, with book profits to $1.7 billion. It is expected that in the next few days, contracts such as the Hang Seng Index futures in Hong Kong will be delivered, and the profit figures will rise again.

Hans Edel is already planning in private, maybe he can use this year's huge bonus to buy a luxury house in Hong Kong, and come here often to play in the future.

However, the reason why Hans Edel has climbed to the current position at the age of 34 is that Hans Eder was not dazzled by the victories in the past few months. It was during this period that according to various clues, Hans Eder instinctively I feel that there may be some unexpected changes in the situation in Hong Kong.

On the other hand, under his insistence, several teams have more than 5.3 billion US dollars in capital, and 4.5 billion US dollars have been put on short positions in Hong Kong such as Hang Seng Index futures and Hong Kong currency. The same turbulent Taiwan and South Korea, One's economic foundation is too good, and the other's oil and water are obviously too low, so he only bet on a small number of them.

As of Tuesday's close yesterday, the Hang Seng Index has officially fallen below the 10,000-point mark and closed at 9,639 points, as many people expected.

Deutsche Bank has made short bets on several targets in the 9,000-point range, and some of them have begun to make profits.

It is expected that on the settlement day of this Friday, the Hang Seng Index is expected to fall to around 9000 points without any surprises. Then, after completing the delivery of all contracts, the total size of capital under Hans Edel's control will easily exceed US$6 billion. Everything went well, and it was no problem to buy another property in Singapore at the same time.

However, due to a certain instinct of an elite trader, Hans Edel always had a feeling of uneasiness.

Various recent clues have also proved that his anxiety is not delusional.

One of them, the Hang Seng Index has fallen from a high of 16,000 points four months ago to the current 9,000 point range. Hans Edel paid attention to and participated in the whole process, and he clearly felt that because everyone is not optimistic that the Hang Seng Index can stick to it, There are not many longs who are willing to bet on the short contracts with a target price above 10,000 points.

However, in the range of 9000 points, and even the range of 8000 points, during this period of time, there seems to be a lot of bullish capital.

Maybe some people think that the economic fundamentals of Hong Kong or the entire mainland China behind it are enough to support the high level of the Hang Seng Index at 10,000 points. This kind of argument is not new, but Hans Edel just feels that people who are optimistic, Obviously too much.

There must be a demon in everything that happens.

The Deutsche Bank team, including the headquarters, generally believes that the Hang Seng Index may eventually fall to 7,000 points. 9000 points is still far from the bottom, but Hans Edel just felt that, perhaps, next month, he should significantly reduce his short positions in Hong Kong and move to South Korea or Japan.

Even if he earns less, no matter what, his current performance is enough to make a job for the headquarters, and the bonus will not escape at all.

One cannot be too greedy.

Seriously and quickly read some of the mainstream newspapers in Asia in his hand, Hans Edel spent the whole morning

After a careful analysis during the meal time, the information on the public media still shows that the financial situation in various Asian countries or regions continues to be volatile, with no sign of turning around.

Could it be that I am really paranoid?

Hans Edel originally thought, perhaps, in the morning, the team could close the short position at around 9800 points, at least part of the pocket is safe, but after breakfast, he hesitated again and again, Hans Edel still felt that, Look the best. It would be a pity if the Hang Seng Index really fell to around 9000 points in the next few days and closed positions at 9600 points at this time.

9000 points!

Hans Eder set boundaries for himself inwardly.

By next month, as long as the Hang Seng Index falls below 9,000 points, he will significantly reduce his short positions against the Hong Kong stock and foreign exchange markets to less than US$1 billion.

Hans Edel was still thinking about his own affairs. On the other side, Quan Zhengting, Cheng Taexi and others had already had breakfast.

When leaving the restaurant, Yuan Xinhui, the wife of Quan Zhengting, who was holding hands, asked curiously about the foreign man who greeted them just now. Cheng Taixi explained a few words, and Yuan Xinhui smiled and encouraged: "Taixi, I think you You can try it, foreign men should be more reliable than Ping Zhan."

Before Cheng Taixi could answer, Quan Zhengting, who was walking in front, had already turned his head and glared at him: "Don't mention that traitor's name again."

Yuan Xinhui was reprimanded by her husband, but she didn't dare to say more. Since her husband met that high-ranking big shot and passed the most important test, men are more authoritative in their family, and Yuan Xinhui also treats her husband more. The more obedient she is, even if the men have been fooling around in various nightclubs in Hong Kong in recent days, she will not say anything.

Fortunately, my own man also has a sense of proportion, and he doesn't stay out all night.

On the other hand, Cui Zaixian's wife, Yu Meihe, defended Yuan Xinhui: "Zhengting, Xinhui did not make a mistake, what are you doing to her?"

Then Yu Meihe was also reprimanded by her husband, and the fire was also turned off instantly.

Cheng Taixi thought it was a little funny, but he didn't comment, but made up his mind that it's better not to get married.

The five people had already left the restaurant while talking.

As soon as he arrived at the elevator, the elevator door opened, and a tall, thin man in his thirties, wearing sunglasses and wearing a gray suit, came out with his arms around two tall, beautiful girls in scantily clad clothes. When he saw Quan Zhengting and Cui Zaixian, Immediately greeted them enthusiastically with a weird Korean accent that made people uncomfortable.

The two gentlemen were also enthusiastic, and they barked for a while before they passed each other.

Entering the elevator, the two women around him didn't dare to say anything this time, so Cheng Taixi asked the two women who were actually very gossip who were just now.

Quan Zhengting didn't say anything, but Cui Zaixian couldn't help explaining: "I met in the bar the night before yesterday, and we happened to go back to the hotel together. His name is Zhong Zhenyong, and he's from Hong Kong."

Cheng Tae-hee said: "Hong Kong locals, do you still live in hotels?"

"You don't know that, Tae-hee," Choi Jae-hyun became even more interested: "That guy mortgaged all the two businesses in his family. In recent months, they have been fired from 20 million US dollars to 70 million in various Asian countries. He said Make $100 million and officially retire. Well, unlike us, keep working."

Yuan Xinhui couldn't help but said: "What does this kind of person do with him? If it weren't for them, Asia wouldn't be in such a mess now. Also, our company."

Quan Zhengting suddenly said again: "They didn't fire Kia for bankruptcy, and it wasn't the bastards above, and the Blue House, who would die."

Sensing her husband's anger, Yuan Xinhui quickly shut up.

The five people were talking, and they returned to their living floor. Just as they turned into the corridor, they saw Wen Lingchi, who was also a member of the small team, walking towards this side in a hurry.

This time the six families came here together, except for Cheng Tae-hee, the others were in pairs, and they were on vacation, so of course they would not do everything together.

Quan Zhengting was about to greet Wen Lingchi with a smile and tease whether he had just woken up, but the other party ran up and said, "President, I just received a call from the subordinate of Miss Chen. President, you are not in the room. Called me and said there was a party tonight and asked us to go over and attend together."

Nowadays, mobile phones are very common, but GSM and the like are not yet popular. They just come here for vacation, and everyone has never thought about temporarily getting a mobile phone card. It is not so convenient to keep in touch with them.

Hearing what Wen Lingchi said, Quan Zhengting immediately asked, "Mate, did they leave their phone number?"

"I'll keep it," Wen Lingchi held a sticky note in his hand and handed it over: "President, here you are."

Quan Zhengting took it over, and was about to quicken his pace and walk towards his room, when he remembered again, he said to everyone: "You all heard it, get ready today, it's best to buy another set of clothes, and Ling Chi, where is Mindu?" , Go and ask the couple to get up, what does it look like to sleep in all day long."

Wen Lingchi quickly agreed to go to work, and Quan Zhengting then quickened his pace and returned to his room.

Everyone was no longer interested in leisurely leisurely, and Yuan Xinhui quickly followed her husband. She still had to call home to ask how her in-laws and their two children were doing. A few days ago, their husband and wife had an accident. The parents-in-law from the countryside came to take care of the children temporarily, and then stayed there afterwards, so that they can easily come to Hong Kong for vacation.

However, the in-laws dote on the two little guys too much, this is not acceptable, she can only remind them from time to time. After going through these things in recent months, the couple both understand that houses, cars and stocks are unreliable, and they still need to be capable, so they are already planning to send the two young ones to study in the United States as soon as possible when they are completely stable.

last only

Yucheng Tae Hee walked back to the room slowly by himself.

Cheng Taixi still doesn't know who the big boss behind them is, but he knows a Miss Chen from China.

China.

Sung Tae-hee is not one of those ignorant and arrogant South Korean social strata. She knows very well that China has risen very rapidly over the years, at least twice the size of South Korea's economy. Not surprisingly, South Korea will only be thrown in the future. farther. However, no matter what, they never expected that they would establish contact with the Chinese side. Even, since there is Chen Qing, maybe the big boss behind the scenes is also a Chinese.

There was no resistance to this.

After going through so many things, let alone national pride, she has negative emotions towards her own country, and even more.

Cheng Taixi just felt that it was a bit like going back to hundreds of years ago.
