Soros' interview received mixed reviews in the market, but in the entire industry, Soros had a great time.
In fact, even if he didn't accept the interview and didn't come out to explain, no one would think that Soros had done anything wrong. After all, if shorting the stock market was wrong, then they would have been executed many times over.
Soros' extremely foresighted investment this time also made many people praise him. Soros instantly became the center of the global financial industry. Everyone wanted to give their money to Soros to invest.
In an instant, everything that Soros had lost came back, and his reputation and status were even greater than before.
After all, Soros only lost tens of billions of dollars, but this time, he made more than 300 billion dollars in one go. This was enough for Soros to become the most popular financial figure in the world.
Therefore, Soros' name once again appeared at the peak of the financial industry. The two financial geniuses became three. This was why many people didn't realize that Soros wasn't the only one who made more than 300 billion dollars by shorting the stock market.
Harry Potter did the same thing, but he wasn't as ruthless as Soros. He only made more than 100 billion dollars. Therefore, Harry Potter was very low-key during this period of time. He was so low-key that no one even knew that Harry Potter made such a huge profit this time.
Of course, no one knew that Soros quickly transferred 500 billion dollars out of the 525 billion dollars through various means.
Because this money didn't belong to Soros, but to someone else.
Yes, I believe that many people had already guessed that it was Boss Jia. After all, Boss Jia made more than 300 billion dollars, which just happened to match all the data.
That's right. The hidden power behind this did belong to Da Qian. Soros had used more than 210 billion USD of capital this time, but only about 10 billion USD actually belonged to Soros. The remaining 200 billion USD was directly transferred from Lace Electric Company's account to Soros through various hidden means. Soros was then asked to help him operate the operation.
So the question was, why didn't Boss Jia do it himself? Why did he give the money to his defeated opponent?
The answer was simple. Boss Jia didn't dare to do it. His relationship with the United States was very delicate. If the matter wasn't confidential and someone found out that the source of the funds was the Daqian, then the remaining Daqian industries in the United States would suffer a fatal blow.
Therefore, it was better to leave this matter to someone else. However, if it was left to an ordinary person, it might still arouse suspicion. After all, not just any fund could split 200 billion USD. It had to be a large fund.
The business model of large funds was relatively fixed. They would not cooperate with the Daqian so easily. Only those who were eager to make a comeback would have the motivation to do so.
Thus, Boss Jia set his sights on Soros, a person he had defeated before.
Therefore, in 2007, when the world's major automobile companies came to Yuzhang to meet Boss Jia, Boss Jia secretly sneaked to Southeast Asia and met Soros on his own island.
The two sides talked for a night and reached an agreement.
That was, the Daqian handed over all the 210 billion USD funds to Soros. Soros had to follow Boss Jia's judgment that there would be a large-scale financial crisis in 2008. He had to short the stock market of the United States and withdraw the funds in the first half of 2009.
If the 210 billion USD was a loss, the Daqian would be responsible for it, and Soros would not be responsible for it. But if there was a profit, then 200 billion USD would belong to the Daqian, and the other 10 billion would go to Soros as a reward for his manipulation.
After that, Soros managed to achieve a world-shaking feat. His reputation skyrocketed, and he was once again the God of Airdrops and the Devil of Airdrops.
On the other hand, Da Qian had earned more than 300 billion USD. At the same time, no one knew that this money had secretly flowed into Da Qian's account.
In March 2009, all the investors of Lace Power received the second batch of refunds as agreed. Although it was said that the Daqian relied on selling a part of 51 Search shares to finally collect 21 billion USD of refunds, the Daqian still paid all the refunds as agreed.
This made all the investors feel very touched. At the same time, they felt that the Daqian was indeed the most conscientious company in the world. Ordinary … no, most entrepreneurs, including themselves, would definitely deny it when faced with such a situation. If they couldn't deny it, they would pretend to be dead. After all, the Daqian didn't make any money from this. The Daqian lost more than 100 billion USD, so there was no reason for them to compensate others.
And the Daqian actually lost money. This really touched some of the entrepreneurs. They felt as if they saw the light of the end of the world. There were not many companies and entrepreneurs as good as the Daqian in the world!
Speaking of 100 billion, Citibank was much fiercer.
Originally, according to the agreement, the loan would take ten years to be paid off, but Citibank asked the Daqian to repay it in advance.
This sounded like a very inconceivable thing. How could there be such a thing as an installment loan and asking for repayment in advance?
But Citibank could do it, because there was a clause in the loan contract. If the other party's business had major problems, which might cause the loan to be unable to be repaid, Citibank had the right to ask the other party to repay in advance to protect its own interests.
If the other party really couldn't repay in advance, Citibank had the right to control the collateral in advance to ensure that the other party wouldn't transfer assets or something.
This was indeed a clause that often appeared in loan contracts, and this clause was essentially used by banks to ensure the safety of their loans. There was nothing to question.
After all, it was well known that the Daqian lost 100 billion USD of Lace Power, and now they had to start spending money. And it was said that the Daqian mortgaged the Daqian game to Citibank to get this huge loan of 100 billion USD.
In other words, if the Daqian couldn't repay in advance now, Citibank could directly intervene and forcibly control all the equity and assets of the Daqian game to ensure that the Daqian wouldn't secretly sell the various assets of the Daqian game, such as selling the steam game store, or the IP of any game.
