At the end of January this year, the Nasdaq index was over 4,000 points.
Su Yehao was so impatient that he was harvested like leeks, and more than three billion Hong Kong dollars disappeared.
After the news was sold to an intern in the assistant office for several thousand Hong Kong dollars, the unscrupulous media still laugh at him for finally failing to make a mistake, breaking the myth of being undefeated, etc. The relevant news is widely circulated on the Internet.
At that time, I dared to play so big.
Now more than a month has passed, the Nasdaq index has reached the 5,000-point threshold, and the bubble has further expanded. Of course, he is more confident.
With a bit of revenge, after Su Yehao communicated with Vice President Zheng Yongwen, he immediately called Assistant Zhuang Wei and asked her to inform the "Air Force Squad" that had not been disbanded that it would be sold out after twelve o'clock tonight.
Nasdaq index futures, and through options and stock futures, bearish on the merged AOL·Time Warner Group, as well as Amazon, Cisco and other companies.
Zhuang Wei asked on the other end of the phone: "Why does it have to go past twelve o'clock tonight? There is also scale. You just said short selling. I'm worried that they won't fully understand what you mean. Otherwise, I will call those people back to the company.
, will you have a conference call with them then?"
"Because...forget it, let them take some time to rest first. I will be in the office at half past ten in the evening and will have a meeting to discuss it in detail."
Su Yehao was really embarrassed to tell Zhuang Wei and told her that because he really couldn't make up his mind, he chose to believe in the date chosen by Wong Tai Sin.
Telling the truth will affect your own image.
After all, Assistant Zhuang Wei has a serious personality, and it is probably difficult to understand the metaphysics involved. This is not scientific at all.
Judging from the facts of the past few days, the past half month has indeed not been a good day to enter the market. The Nasdaq index has risen by several hundred points. From this point of view, Wong Tai Sin still deserves some credit.
Assistant Zhuang Wei spoke calmly and continued to answer: "Okay, if I remember correctly, all your accounts add up to a total of more than 1.98 billion US dollars. Short selling requires financial guarantees. How much do you plan to use this time?"
?I want to say hello to the bank and report it in advance."
Su Yehao was stunned after hearing this, and asked in surprise: "The cash reserve has dropped below two billion US dollars again?"
"Yes, the customized yacht first transferred US$50 million to the shipyard and US$10 million to SOM Architectural Design Office. In addition, there was also the start-up capital for the Lujiazui office building in Shanghai and the initial investment for the Thousand Cores City project.
...Oh, you also lost 334 million on your last investment..."
"Wait a minute! Don't mention the past anymore. It's unlucky to say these things today. I know I've spent a lot recently. I just want to express my feelings. Money is indeed difficult to earn but easy to spend."
Hearing Su Yehao's words, Zheng Yongwen and Nangong Tian were stunned.
I wonder if there is something wrong with my ears.
A super-rich man whose net worth has quickly exceeded tens of billions of dollars actually laments sincerely that it is difficult to make money. He is simply bullying others and does not leave a way for others to survive.
On the other side of the phone.
Assistant Zhuang Wei said seriously: "Yes, there are more places to spend money later. The two wafer foundries in Yuen Long are expected to require an investment of about US$800 million. I will give you a detailed list soon, and KPMG
The firm’s audit report will be out soon.”
"Okay, say hello to the bank and prepare $500 million first. I have a very good feeling this time!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Assistant Zhuang Wei subconsciously told him: "This sentence is a bit familiar. I remember last month...but that was before the Spring Festival. With the new year and new atmosphere, tonight's investment will definitely be successful."
make money!"
Hear the words.
Su Yehao smiled awkwardly. He felt really good about that shot before the Spring Festival, but it was just an illusion.
It's still early until eleven o'clock.
It was past seven o'clock in the evening local time in Hong Kong City, and the New York Stock Exchange had not yet opened.
After tasting the margarita made by his aunt, Su Yehao rarely said a few kind words to Zheng Yongwen. The two have known each other for a while. Although the former chief financial advisor is a bit pretentious, fortunately he has a good appearance and personality.
, he also has abilities and talents, and he is not greedy for money.
However, his aunt only shook her head and warned:
"Children like you, don't worry about adult matters. Brother Yong is a good person, but his personality doesn't match mine at all. Any woman who is with him will be bored to death all day long. I plan to go to the North Pole next.
, invested in a documentary about polar bears and seals, and set out before the end of the day.”
Su Yehao glanced at Zheng Yongwen.
I saw Zheng Yongwen smiling and seemed very calm. He must have expected it.
I vaguely remember hearing my grandpa mention that the two of them separated when they were young because they had incompatible personalities. Both were too smart and independent, and were prone to conflicts.
Thinking of this, Su Yehao felt that he was very lucky. Nangong Tian usually had no temper in front of him and was considerate.
Jiang Yu and Nong Qingying have different personalities and emotional foundations.
...
Got off the yacht.
At around nine o'clock, Nangong Tian, who was slightly drunk, was first sent to Feng Sheng Shui Community in the middle of the mountain.
Jiang Yu's parents traveled to Europe and were said to be in Marseille, France. She was a little scared to be alone at home. She had made an appointment with Nangong Tian to watch a movie together tonight and have a bestie night.
It happened that Su Yehao had something to do, so he sent Nangong Tian here first. In fact, he also wanted to hang around and look for something new in Jiang Yu's boudoir.
It's a pity that I have to have a meeting with the employees tonight to discuss the specific position plan.
After sitting at Jiang Yu's house, he went out at around ten o'clock in the evening and rushed to the quiet Sihai International Building in Central. The security guard was so polite that he took the cigar that Su Yehao threw to him and thanked him repeatedly.
During the meeting with the financial advisors of the "Air Force Squad", Su Yehao actually had no specific plan. He only said that he would focus on shorting the Nasdaq stock index futures, Amazon, AOL·Time Warner Group, etc., and he also established some short positions.
Following the old rules, the short meeting of just over ten minutes was particularly concise and clear.
As soon as midnight passed, several top students in the financial industry who were in charge of trading were sitting in front of the computer and busy, using the funds in their accounts as margins to exchange for short-selling contracts.
Over there in the United States.
Today is Monday. Since the opening of the market in the morning, the Nasdaq index has slightly increased by 0.2%, appearing unusually calm.
Compared with the huge market, Su Yehao's order is inconspicuous, but the market sentiment is already extremely tense. Faced with a batch of large short-selling options orders, Amazon's stock price was the first to react, changing from rising and floating green to falling.
Fluttering red.
The trading volume of the Nasdaq stock index has been quite large every day recently. More than 2 billion US dollars of short positions in the stock index have just been established, and several short selling orders have been placed. The market seemed to be frightened, and a large number of orders immediately emerged.
A trader suddenly shouted: "The Internet is disconnected?! Why is my webpage stuck?"
"Me too, holy shit, there's something wrong with Nasdaq's trading program? There's a reaction when you click on other websites!"
Not far away, Su Yehao was dozing on his stomach. After being woken up by them, he looked around blankly, stretched and asked, "What's going on? What's the problem?"
A fat-bellied financial analyst wondered:
"No, it was fine before. It was just a short order worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Even the Nasdaq stock index futures were destroyed by us? Come on, come on! Look at the order you just placed, has it been completed?"
"...There is no problem on the brokerage side. Three of the four sell orders were completed. The Nasdaq stock index data is motionless. There must be something wrong with the server."
Su Yehao didn't understand the situation for a while, so he scratched his head and leaned in front of the computer.
I had a little expectation at first, but after more than 20 minutes, I found that the Nasdaq index had jumped more than 40 points, which made people almost cursed because they were so happy.
Wait until after one o'clock in the morning.
A total of more than 500 million U.S. dollars was used, with large and small leverage, to establish short positions totaling 6.2 billion U.S. dollars, of which more than 4.5 billion U.S. dollars were short selling Nasdaq stock index futures.
In addition, we have shorted more than one billion US dollars in Amazon options, and the rest are short positions in stock options and futures.
Su Yehao went home and had a good sleep. When he got up, he found that as of the close of trading, Nasdaq had actually fallen by 2.6%...
