Chapter 75 The most awesome risk control!
One second the Middle East's wealthy Saudi Arabia was still enjoying a period of peace and prosperity, and the next second the capital Riyadh was hit by a devastating terrorist attack!
It's important to know that Riyadh is one of the most modern and developed cities in the Middle East, with a safety rating of five stars.
And what was the result?
A terrorist attack has caused a massive financial crisis worldwide, leaving global investors utterly astonished!
Thanks to Iran's "extremely strong will to survive" statement, the global financial markets were like riding a thrilling roller coaster, suddenly jolted, and on the verge of collapse, but were pulled back, resulting in a false alarm.
However, after this incident, the prices of some items skyrocketed, as if they had been injected with adrenaline!
"The prices of safe-haven assets are simply unbelievable! They're skyrocketing like a rocket, there's no stopping them!"
Liu Bo, a trader under Su Hao, stared wide-eyed at the data on the screen, which was a deep, purplish-red.
"That's right! The price of government bonds, which are usually as stable as retired cadres, has started to fluctuate, and the price keeps rising!"
Looking at the world, the most favored government bonds must be those of the United States and Germany.
These two products have high credit ratings and high safety levels, making them veritable "stabilizing forces" in the world of risk aversion!
Therefore, as soon as there is any disturbance in the market, everyone rushes to buy the government bonds of these two companies like crazy.
"But... what's going on with this Swiss Franc? It's like it's welded shut, it won't budge at all?"
A newcomer stared at the almost motionless price curve on the screen, his face full of question marks.
Someone immediately offered an explanation:
"Because the Swiss Central Bank imposed a price control order on it, the price fluctuation range was tightly controlled."
Just as he was about to raise his head, he was pressed down.
Just when I thought I was about to fall flat on my face, I was pulled back up again.
Hey, the price has stayed on a straight line, more stable than an electrocardiogram!
"After all, it's Swiss French!"
Do you think the title of 'first safe-haven currency' is just for show?
Prices had risen too sharply, so the Swiss government dumped stocks like a floodgate opening, forcefully driving prices down.
Conversely, if the price drops too drastically, they'll buy, buy, buy, and push it back up. Their main strategy is "rock-solid stability!"
Swiss franc's ability to maintain its position as the top safe-haven asset is precisely due to its unique skill of "playing both sides."
"So... why did our CEO Su want to buy this thing?"
The newcomer's face was filled with "I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked."
Before anyone else could speak, Liang Haiyuan, President Su's number one "die-hard fan," had already spoken first.
He glanced at the newcomer with an expression that said, "How could you mortals fathom the will of the Emperor?" before slowly and methodically analyzing the situation:
"I guess in the period before the terrorist attack, the whole market was like it had fallen into an ice cave, lifeless and gloomy."
Our CEO Su probably felt that holding onto a large amount of cash and waiting around wasn't a good idea, so he simply converted it all into Swiss francs to play it safe, observe the situation, and see how things develop. That's called 'having provisions in hand, so you're not afraid,' understand?"
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"Brother Haiyuan, what do you think President Su's real intention is?" someone pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"How could we mere mortals possibly fathom President Su's thoughts?"
Liang Haiyuan spoke slowly, his voice not loud, but carrying an undeniable certainty.
"His wisdom is unfathomable!"
In the entire company, no, in the entire financial world, the only person who can understand his operations is probably himself.
However, there's one thing I know better than anyone else!
He paused deliberately, successfully piquing everyone's curiosity.
Everyone in the office pricked up their ears and held their breath, afraid of missing some earth-shattering secret.
"What...is it?" someone couldn't contain themselves and asked in a low voice.
Liang Haiyuan's lips curled into a mysterious smile as he spoke, enunciating each word clearly:
"Our CEO Su never brakes when he drives!"
Never brake?
The group exchanged bewildered glances, a string of question marks slowly appearing on their foreheads.
What kind of slang is this?
"You newcomers have probably already experienced it, haven't you?"
Liang Haiyuan glanced at the bewildered newcomers.
"Has anyone ever seen our CEO Su implement any risk control measures when he's doing short-term trading?"
The office was deathly silent.
Upon closer reflection, it seems... there really isn't one!
Everyone usually just does whatever President Su says, their minds are basically half-offline.
Therefore, they never even considered risk control.
Besides, Su Hao's trading was incredibly fast and ruthless; his orders came out like a machine gun. They were so focused on executing them that they didn't have time to think about risk control.
My brain can barely keep up with my hand speed!
"But... not implementing risk control is too scary, isn't it? What if things go wrong?"
A bold newcomer timidly raised his hand to ask a question, his voice trembling.
You know, even when they were handling a sum of five million, the risk control department would watch them like they were thieves, afraid that something might go wrong.
If anything goes wrong, they'll cut off your power and suspend your trading!
But now, this Mr. Su is holding a huge sum of 5 billion yuan and playing a high-stakes, short-term game, and the risk control department doesn't even bother to look at him!
This isn't a lack of brakes; it's clearly a full-on accelerator, heading west straight towards the cliff!
This investment style is characterized by its "recklessness"!
"That's right. In our opinion, this is like dancing the tango on a tightrope, blindfolded, it's extremely dangerous!"
Liang Haiyuan nodded, indicating that he understood their ordinary way of thinking.
"However, in President Su's eyes, what he did was precisely the most brilliant form of risk control!"
"Huh?!" Everyone's jaws nearly dropped to the floor.
"How...how does this become risk control?"
Liang Haiyuan smiled mysteriously, as if announcing a shocking secret: "Because, as long as you can make money, that's the best risk control!"
"...???"
"Still don't understand?" Liang Haiyuan looked at this group of blockheads and shook his head in exasperation.
"As long as it makes money, that's the perfect risk management!"
The winner takes all; the process doesn't matter, the result is everything!
Those veteran employees who had fought alongside Su Hao to build the empire all showed knowing expressions, nodding vigorously in agreement.
The newcomers, on the other hand, had a "Are you kidding me?" look on their faces.
Just then—
"Beep beep beep—!" The urgent alarm sounded one after another in the office, instantly breaking the stagnant atmosphere.
This is a price fluctuation alert they set up!
Their holdings of Swiss franc have shown signs of unusual activity!
"Holy crap? What... what the hell is going on?!"
" Isn't Swiss Franc subject to a price cap, so it can't raise prices?"
The price right now... holy crap, it's skyrocketing like crazy!
"Something terrible has happened! Something really terrible has happened! Quick, check the news!"
