Hollywood Hunter

Simon approached at noon to Johnston's manor on the Yarra River on the outskirts of Melbourne.

In the morning, the call was from Anthony Johnston, but only Raymond Johnston and his wife were dining together.Simon has been here more than once during this time, Janet's parents have treated him as a son-in-law, and the two sides have not lost their original rustiness.

After lunch, Raymond Johnston took Simon to the study.

The two sat down on the sand near the window of the study. After the maid delivered coffee and left, Raymond Johnston opened the door and said: "Simon, I know you are busy, I won't be wordy. You go in this time Field, can you bring more funds?"

Before Simon came, he roughly guessed the old man's intentions and nodded readily: "Yes. But, Ray, because of the things in the last few days, I can't see the situation now and can't give any guarantees. So, here It is best to use only excess funds, not to affect the normal operation of the company, and not to blindly raise funds through loans."

Raymond Johnston listened to Simon, with a slightly surprised expression, but then smiled: "Of course I understand, Simon, you can be so sober, I was still surprised."

Simon also smiled and said: "The exhibition space in the fields of entertainment, technology and fashion is already very wide. I don't plan to spend too much time in the financial market. This time I just felt that the time was right and wanted to raise some funds. It doesn’t matter how much, so there is no re-bet."

Raymond Johnston nodded and asked again: "So, how much do you have now?"

Simon thought for a while and said: "There should be no problem with profitability. Moreover, the various restrictions introduced by the Japanese government after the 7-share disaster ensured that there will not be a big ups and downs in the financial market in the short term. Even if the market turns, we can withdraw in time. Out."

The Japanese stock market and the futures market now have strict price limits, and Simon wants to replicate the miracle of the 7-year S&P 5oo index futures on the Nikkei 225 index futures.At the same time, these restrictions also mean that if the market trend changes, as long as the exit in time, investors will not suffer too much loss.

Raymond Johnston is very satisfied with the word "we" that Simon unknowingly used, but he still condensed some expressions and said: "In fact, this is Simon, not just me here, there are some Business partners want to get some money out for you to help."

Only in the preparatory stage, Simon has felt the strong influence of the Johnston family deeply rooted in Australia.Some social parties held before and after the Johnston family mansion clearly showed a large net in front of Simon.

If you want to maintain such a huge network of contacts, beyond friendship, it is obvious that interest is the most solid kind of bond.

Simon never thought of breaking up with Janet, and Janet's attitude was obviously the same.Therefore, Simon is destined to be tied to the Johnston family. In fact, he has already enjoyed the benefits of this network in the production process, and naturally needs to help maintain it.

Just about to nod, Simon thought of something and asked, "Ray, how much can this money cost?"

Raymond Johnston said: "You can only count if you agree, but it should be no less than 500 million Australian dollars."

Simon was taken aback.

Living in Australia, Simon knew that the recent exchange rate of the Australian dollar to the US dollar was probably around o.7.A$500 million, converted to $100 million, is already twice the amount that Simon plans to use.

At the end of the 1980s, there were no tens of billions of hedge funds.

Soros’s quantum fund suffered less than US$200 million in the last two years after being hit hard by the 7-share disaster. This is already the industry’s top giant, and more hedge funds are only tens of millions in existence.

If Raymond Johnston only took out AU$350-500 million, Simon could nod directly, but he jumped to the level of ONE million, and he would not dare to take it.

"Too much,

Simon's understanding of financial markets is limited to the knowledge accumulated during that 7-year operation and the future macroeconomic trends in his mind.

For small-scale capital operations, he can put all the chips into the stock index futures financial derivatives field that he can understand based on the information he has grasped.Involving billions of dollars in capital operations, a single financial product is certainly unable to bear, but he has little understanding of other foreign exchanges, bonds and other fields, and now he has no time to learn these.

"I probably understand your scruples, Simon," Raymond Johnston said: "However, the commander of an army does not need to have high riding, nor need to be a sharpshooter, he has to do , Just use your own strategy to command hundreds of thousands of soldiers who are proficient in these subtle skills to win a war. Now you are facing the same problem. You can find someone else to complete it."

Simon heard Raymond Johnston's words, and immediately understood where the personality trait of the "top worker" from Janet came from.

There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Simon said again: "However, Ray, I can't find a trustworthy person with enough ability to operate this fund in a short time. James can only help me stare at the existing trading team, He knows no more than me in this respect."

Raymond Johnston said: "As long as you nod, I can recommend you some people."

In the 1980s, Australia's economy was still very small, but with the Johnston family's heritage, it was obviously not a problem to find some reliable financial talents.

Simon leaned on the sand, constantly thinking in his mind.

Accepting this $100 million in funding, Simon will need to control the scale of funds to reach $500 million.

The larger the size of hedge funds, the more difficult it is to achieve too high profit margins, which is a disadvantage of accepting external funds.

However, although the commission issue has not yet been discussed, it is naturally impossible for Simon to take care of it for free with such a fund.Hedge fund fees are very high. The convention is 2% management fee and 2o% revenue share. With Simon’s current appeal, he can even increase the fee rate further.

In any case, it is very exciting to think about having a huge amount of more than one billion US dollars in the financial market.

As for success or failure.

To describe it with an argument in memory, the Japanese stock market is now an outlet, as long as the direction is correct, the pig can fly.

What's more, Simon is not afraid of failure in his heart.

Simon also doesn't feel that a layman cannot operate a hedge fund, and laymen in this circle are everywhere.By comparison, the real experts are actually working for others.As Raymond Johnston just said, professional things are left to professional people to do, and you only need to control the overall situation.

In terms of timing, the time difference between Melbourne and Tokyo is only one hour. During this time, shooting in Australia, Simon can keep an eye on the trend of the Japanese stock market at any time.

If the Japanese stock market follows the development in Simon's memory, it will not reach its peak until the end of the year and turn to decline.

Simon plans to relax for a while after finishing the production, let go of company affairs as much as possible, at least not as busy as he is now.At that time, he can also spare more time to continue to stare at the subsequent operation of the money.

Determined, Simon looked up at Raymond Johnston.

Raymond Johnston had not disturbed Simon's thinking just now, realizing that he had made a decision before the old man put down his coffee cup and looked over.

Reorganizing his thoughts, Simon said: "Lei, our own funds can be merged and operated together. But for outsiders, if they want to join, my condition is that the profit is within 3o%, I only charge 2o%. The revenue share is used as a commission. If the profit exceeds 3o%, then the portion of the commission between 3o% and oo% will increase to 3o%; for the portion of the profit that exceeds oo%, I require a commission of 5o%. Unlike other long-term operations Hedge funds, this operation of the Japanese market is one-off, maybe one year, maybe two years. As soon as things are over, I will choose the right time to liquidate all funds to investors."

The impression of hedge funds to ordinary people often means huge profits, but in fact, the goal of most hedge funds is to outperform the market, and there are few funds with annual interest rates that can exceed 3o%.

Raymond Johnston understands this generally, so he is not surprised by the conditions that Simon issued, and he even feels that this is a matter of course.

With 500 million Australian dollars of funds, let alone a profit of more than oo%, even if it can double in the next year or two, everyone will be satisfied.

In fact, the net profit of the entire Johnston Holding Group last year was less than A$200 million, and the scale of the annual profits of other investors behind the scene this time is probably the same.

With normal investment methods, a return of 20 to 30 percent a year is already very good.

If it can be doubled, it is actually equivalent to everyone gaining one year's profit from their own company. In this case, no one will be willing to pay a higher commission.

As for profit over oo%, Raymond Johnston does not expect much. The bigger the size of hedge funds, the harder it is to achieve high profit margins. He also knows.

There are so many opportunities in the financial market. Small funds with millions and tens of millions of dollars can seize the opportunity and double in a year. This is probably the case with Simon’s 7-year operation.But for large-scale hedge funds with hundreds of millions and billions of dollars, investment must be diversified, which will inevitably lead to profitability and loss of investment, and it is impossible to maintain a too high profit rate.

In fact, Raymond Johnston did not randomly accept funds from outsiders without screening.

In addition to some special partners, the estimated investment threshold of other people has been set at A$100 million by him. Those who can’t afford so much money or can’t afford it are excluded. The son-in-law must not be pitted. .

Therefore, Simon proposed these conditions, and Raymond Johnston immediately nodded and agreed.

As for Simon’s discourse, which combines the funds of the Johnston family with himself, and does not talk about commissions, Raymond Johnston did not reject this kindness.Each other has already defaulted to their respective family identities, so you don't need to be so polite.

It's just that if this kid can marry his daughter as soon as possible.

Worry about it.

Sending Simon away, Raymond Johnston called his eldest son and asked him to help Simon choose some useful people. By the way, he asked him that he was in a bad mood after the New Year and came back from Europe. No.

This is also worrying.

At the beginning of the year, when the finance department was at its busiest, the company’s operations over the past two years have not been smooth.

If you really take a vacation, you can take a son-in-law, and you will be alone every time.

When my father died, I was still talking about my little sister. Now, how do I explain to my parents in the future?

Thinking a little bit angry, Raymond Johnston simply found contact information and dialed to London.There was a connection there, and after a few words, some of them couldn't hold back the fire. The woman over there was strictly ordered to return to Melbourne next month, or else he would fly to London himself to catch people.

Also repeatedly warned that this time it was serious.

Simon returned to the center of Melbourne. The two major commodity exchanges of Singapore and Osaka closed their day of trading. The Tokyo Stock Exchange also closed on time at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Affected by the news that Simon Westero is optimistic about the Japanese stock market, the trading volume of the stock index futures contracts of the two major commodity exchanges of Singapore and Osaka increased sharply today, and even many types of futures unrelated to Japan have been stimulated.

At the same time, the Japanese stock market is also in full swing today, and a large number of stocks have reached daily limits.The Nikkei 225 index rose 623 points throughout the day, with a total of 3,992 points, an increase of .9%.In fact, if it is not the limit of the Japanese stock market, the single-day rise of the broader market index is definitely more than that.

The Nikkei 225 Index Futures has been launched in less than three years, and the price is far from many other types of futures, usually strong institutional investors participate in trading.However, due to the high growth of the Japanese stock market, the trading volume of the Nikkei 225 index futures has increased rapidly in recent years.

Many institutions originally predicted that the total trading volume of Nikkei 225 index futures will reach 50 million lots this year, involving an amount of over 100 million US dollars.However, because of the storm cited in the article, only one day today, the trading volume of the Nikkei 225 index futures of the two major commodity exchanges in Singapore and Osaka exceeded 60,000 lots.

Some people followed the trend to build warehouses, some went short against the trend, and others fled.

Simon, who caused the storm, didn't do anything. He just checked today's settlement report for the first time after the close.

After the last black Monday margin crisis, major exchanges have adopted a daily debt-free settlement system, and investors no longer need to settle the final income when buying and selling like stocks.

Now, after the end of each day's trading, the exchange will calculate the profit and loss data of the investor's contract and transfer the cash.

The 5ooo hand Nikkei 225 index contract held by Simon earned just 350 million yen today, equivalent to 25.32 million U.S. dollars.

With a principal of US$200 million and a profit of 2% per day, Simon did not feel too happy.

The Nikkei 225 index rose 63 points in a single day, which has passed the broad market gains of the past month.If the limit of 3ooo points in the memory is still calculated, Simon's subsequent funds may not be in place, and the Japanese market has already peaked.

If this situation continues, it will be too sad.
