Melbourne.

These days, Anthony Johnston goes out of his way to help Simon with his operations against Japan's financial markets.

In more than two weeks, the North American side successfully completed the cash-out in the technology stock market, and the funds from Australia also arrived one after another, and the final capital scale reached 1.57 billion US dollars. Among them, Simon’s own funding amounted to US$500 million, the Johnston family contributed US$100 million, and other Australian capital forces totaled US$970 million.

Speaking of which, there are also many people in North America who want to invest in the game recently, but Simon chose to refuse this time.

Funding in excess of $1.5 billion is already a big target, and continuing to add will only dilute profits. Simon didn't intend to be a big dealer that would affect the trend of the Japanese stock market, and bring down the Japanese stock market. Other companies under his name would not even think about doing business in this country in the future.

Leading Australian capital into the market, Simon believes that the Johnston family will definitely be able to turn this favor into real contacts and interests.

On the North American side, although Simon has the identity of an American, he has very little connection with the local forces, and it is impossible for the two sides to establish a deep friendship just by bringing anyone with them and making a fortune.

In fact, Simon has unknowingly had the idea of ​​making the Australian Gang his own personal backing. Of course, the Australian gang here is definitely not an Australian filmmaker in Hollywood, but a local capital force in Australia.

The chaebol power structure in the United States has been stereotyped for many years. Simon, a capital upstart, can never compete with the old chaebol, and he has no idea of ​​which side he is attached to.

Therefore, to ensure that the industry under his name can continue to expand, Simon must have more chips.

In the confrontation between capital, the bargaining chip is capital after all.

Australia's current economy is still small, but it is a country after all.

Simon has brought together the Australian capital forces through interest connections, and the chaebol forces formed are absolutely no less than any old consortium in the United States. Moreover, as long as it operates properly, Simon can even gain a dominant position in this system.

Since it wants to formalize its operations, Simon has also officially registered a hedge fund in the Cayman Islands.

Compared with onshore funds that need to pay taxes on time every year, the biggest advantage of offshore hedge funds is that as long as the funds are not transferred back to the country, there is no need to pay high capital gains tax, and fund holders can repeatedly use the funds that should be taxed. funds for capital operations.

While not intended to operate long-term, funds always need a name.

Simon played "Game of Thrones" again, naming the hedge fund cersei-capital, codenamed 'bad woman'. And, like Daenerys Entertainment and Melisandre, Cersei Capital also has Westeros as its parent company.

The entire $1.57 billion fund must not be concentrated in one fund, and Simon has set up five sub-funds controlled by Cersei Capital, each with a capital scale of about $300 million.

Affected by a series of other hot events such as the "Wall Street Journal" article at the beginning of the month and Simon's own remarks, transactions in the Japanese financial market in February were very active, and Simon quickly completed the preliminary layout after receiving the funds.

As of the last trading day of the week ending February 17, five sub-funds controlled by Cersei Capital have established long contracts on the Nikkei 225 index futures with a total value of about US$7 billion on the two major exchanges in Singapore and Osaka.

Simon is very aware of his own advantages, and what he can more accurately judge is the macro trend of the Japanese economy.

The average opening points of these stock index futures contracts are between 32,200 and 32,700.

If Cersei Capital can maintain a long position of about $7 billion in the next few months, when the Nikkei 225 index reaches the 37,000 points that Simon plans to leave, just this investment can bring in a profit of $1 billion.

The long contracts with a total value of 7 billion US dollars only used less than half of Cersei Capital’s funds in terms of margin. Position restrictions, but because of the lack of takers, Simon cannot increase his positions infinitely.

With the remaining funds, Simon began to let the trading teams of the five sub-funds operate freely. Japan's stocks, bond futures, stock index options, and several other major capital markets in Asia that are also booming are the hunting targets of Cersei Capital.

In the week just ended, the trading team of Cersei Capital completed a beautiful operation of Japanese government bond futures.

As a series of news in early February stimulated the rapid rise of the Japanese stock market, people from all walks of life speculated that the Bank of Japan would have to issue a policy of raising interest rates as soon as possible to curb excessive speculation in the market.

Typically, the result of a rate hike tends to lead to a fall in government bond prices. Hedge funds can be handsomely rewarded if they look for opportunities to short.

Simon remembers that the Bank of Japan only belatedly announced its first rate hike in years in May. At that time, the Japanese stock market and property market had long missed the best opportunity to prevent market collapse through tightening policies.

Even if history has changed, Simon does not think the Japanese government will announce a rate hike three months early.

Just the rumored news caused market shocks, and all classes in Japan, who had been immersed in the phantom of economic prosperity, obviously did not want to be a last resort.

Hope to rashly introduce interest rate hikes to break the current good situation.

Confirming this judgment, Cersei Capital’s trading team began to establish a total of $6 billion worth of Japanese government bond futures positions since last week, half of which are long and half are short.

The margin ratio of government bonds is only 3%, which is about 33 times the leverage.

As news of the Bank of Japan's imminent rate hike spread further, Japanese government bond futures fell sharply after the start of this week's trading, and the trading team also closed all short positions in time before Wednesday.

Then, on Thursday morning, a spokesman for the Ministry of Finance of Japan publicly clarified that the Bank of Japan has no intention of raising interest rates in the near future.

Japanese government bond futures rose in response.

Simon is not greedy, and asked the sub-fund trading teams to close all long positions by Friday.

Volatility in government bond futures is usually low, which is why investment leverage can exceed 30 times. However, this week, Cersei Capital still made a smooth profit of 36 million US dollars.

Speaking of which, this operation actually used some inside information, otherwise Cersei Capital would not have been able to accurately close short positions before Thursday.

The rapid economic rise of Japan in recent years, especially the development of the real estate industry, has led to a substantial increase in its demand for various mining resources. Australia happens to be a country rich in mining resources.

Therefore, the economies of Japan and Australia have been closely linked in recent years, as are the political and business circles. The Johnston family has a large subsidiary in Japan, managed by Janet's second brother, Norman Johnston.

Japan's Ministry of Finance will issue a clarification on Thursday, which was returned by Norman Johnston, who was in Tokyo on a business trip recently.

Simon didn't feel any guilt for this insider operation, nor did he worry about being discovered.

Many well-known hedge funds in memory have invited a large number of politicians to join the company's board of directors. For example, Margaret Thatcher, the British Prime Minister who is still in office, joined the famous Tiger Fund in the 1990s as a board member of the other party.

Probably no one would be naive enough to think that these hedge funds are inviting politicians to get their investment advice.

On the other hand, affected by rumors of a rate hike, the Japanese stock market was also in turmoil this week, falling as much as 236 points on Monday's opening day.

As of the close on February 17, in five days, the Nikkei 225 index has only slightly increased by 76 points to 38,897 points compared with 38,821 points at the close of last Friday. Compared with the lucrative gains through the operation of Japanese government bond futures, the long book profit of stock index futures held by Cersei Capital is only $13.71 million this week.

Saturday, February 18.

Because most of the story of "Batman" takes place at night, it was still night shooting yesterday.

This situation will probably continue until mid-March, and the last few weeks are studio shooting, and Simon will not need to turn the day and night upside down.

Melbourne does not have the professional studios like the major studios in Los Angeles. The crew and props team has been using a large factory in an abandoned factory in the western suburbs of Melbourne to build film sets such as 'Bat Cave'.

Although it was a weekend, and during this time, an extra three hours of work was added every day to take care of Cersei Capital, but the habit had been formed, and Simon still woke up on time after only five hours of sleep.

Breakfast was with Anthony Johnston.

Out of an abundance of caution, the place to eat was not at the Kendall Hotel restaurant, but at a nearby cafe serving breakfast.

Simon does not expect the operation of Cersei Capital to be absolutely confidential, and it is not a good thing to be too secretive. He only hopes to control the information within a certain range as much as possible.

However, because Simon's record in 1987 was so brilliant, the people staring at him this time are also all-pervasive.

One of the main tasks of Anthony Johnston, who temporarily put aside other things and cooperated with Simon to run Cersei Capital, is to help improve confidentiality measures. The team also hired a retired official from the Australian National Security Department as a consultant.

Telephones in Simon’s hotel suites have now been converted into encrypted dedicated lines, and the daily meetings with various sub-fund managers and analyst teams to discuss investment strategies are not in the hotel, but in the heavily guarded headquarters of Johnston Holdings in central Melbourne.

Even, in order to avoid revealing the various investment positions of Cersei Capital, the five sub-fund teams do not know much about who each is.

Anthony also told Simon privately that he arranged for people to monitor each team, and once he found out that the insider who leaked information would be eliminated as soon as possible.

Involving the operation of a fund of more than one billion US dollars and expected returns of a considerable scale, this kind of strict prudence is not too much. Simon is very satisfied with Anthony's arrangement. At least, regular anti-eavesdropping tests can make him Don't worry about bugs appearing in your room again.

Simon's scalp tingles every time he thinks of the Manhattan Plaza Hotel incident.

There were not many people in the cafe on weekend mornings. Simon and Anthony were sitting in the corner by the window, and two bodyguards were guarding nearby to prevent outsiders from approaching.

After a few casual chats, Anthony mentioned Cersei Capital's "measurable" gains in the stock index futures market last week. He felt that Simon was a little too conservative.

Simon took a sip of the juice, put down the glass and explained: "Tony, you must have seen my operation on the S\u0026P 500 futures. Like last time, I am betting on a macro trend, as long as the Japanese stock market continues to rise. Going down, our positions on the Nikkei 225 index futures can get very stable returns.

In terms of government bond futures, there are too many variables. We made a profit last week, but we may lose all of it next week. In my opinion, many good hedge funds are driven by this urge to gain more and lose money, thus driving down their profitability. "

Anthony has learned his general idea of ​​operation from Simon.

Compared with the one in 1987, Simon's goal this time can be said to be very low. He only expects that Cersei Capital's funds can be doubled before the Japanese market turns around, and he will never ask for more.

After chasing up, and earning some profits during the sell-off process to pay taxes and commissions for the trading team, Simon is satisfied.

If the Japanese stock market can persist in the same direction as the original time and space, Simon can just turn his attention to the crude oil futures market after completing the operation here.

Of course, Simon also knows that because of the influence of his big butterfly, it is unrealistic to have such expectations now. However, he still firmly locked the peak of the Japanese market at 38,000 points, and plans to exit from 37,000 points.

Maybe this time it will crash ahead of time, maybe it will break through 40,000 points unexpectedly.

but.

In any case, Simon will restrain his fear of an early collapse and his greed that the market can be higher, and insist on locking in his goals.

Similarly, because he understands his true strength, Simon will not adopt a risky investment strategy, and he has planned to put as much excess money as possible into the Japanese stock market in the future.

Compared with the volatile financial derivatives market, the risk of direct speculation on stocks is very low. A bull market cycle that can last for at least half a year is also enough to ensure that Cersei Capital will get very rich returns.

Anthony Johnston has actually been warned by his father not to interfere with Simon's decision wisely, he just needs to ensure that Simon can complete this operation without distractions.

Listening to Simon's explanation, Anthony stopped at the right time, smiled and said: "Okay, Simon. Besides, your birthday is coming, you have to celebrate it. Are you going to arrange it yourself, or I'll do it? Oh, Jenny this I'll be back in about two days."

Simon was also polite and said, "Tony, then I will trouble you. I will give the crew a day off next Wednesday, and the guest list will be decided by you."

Anthony nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's stay in the big mansion in the suburbs. I'll start preparing the party tomorrow."

The two chatted like this, and after breakfast, Simon returned to the hotel.

As usual, Jennifer prepared a stack of documents that Simon needed to review today.

Leaning on the leather chair, Simon was really surprised when he saw Nancy Brill's plan for Blockbuster's data analysis team and movie data database. He did not expect that this woman had already developed the concept of 'big data' in such an avant-garde way before the Internet era.

The movie data database, if coupled with the intercom element, is obviously imdb (intercom-movie-database). Amazon acquired imdb for online sales of dvds and videotapes, and Netflix used the concept of big data to establish its dominance in the streaming media field.

Now, a small woman has come up with both options at once.
