Chapter 406: A family of joy and sorrow (4000+ chapters~)
It’s still an investment!
Zhou Tao looked at Wu Jianye with something strange in his eyes.
"It actually happened. The Hong Kong stock market is already like this, and the U.S. stock market seems to be not far behind!" Zhou Tao murmured to himself as he sat slumped on the sofa.
Wu Jianye pouted: "I thought you always believed in me!"
Zhou Tao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and then said exaggeratedly: "Believing is one thing, but seeing it is another thing, okay?"
Wu Jianye's mood was also a little solemn, but he remained very calm. He handed Zhou Tao a cigarette, and then after the lighter made a crisp sound, he blew out the smoke ring heavily, and then smiled: "No matter it's Xiangjiang,
Still in the United States, all this is just the beginning."
Zhou Tao asked: "We really don't do Hong Kong stocks?"
Due to the time difference, the U.S. stock market has not yet opened. If you trade Hong Kong stocks, you will still make a profit.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said: "I predict that the Hong Kong stock market will be suspended directly. Besides, you will also develop in Hong Kong in the future. Doing Hong Kong stocks now will not be worth the gain!"
"Stop the market? Old Wu, is this a big joke?" Zhou Tao was horrified when he heard this. If the market was really suspended, I don't know how many people would jump from tall buildings!
On his way here, he had already heard rumors of someone committing suicide.
No one can accept that a worth of tens of millions has become worthless!
There is a line in "Mermaid": "What big storms have I, Liu, never seen? The stock market crash in 1977, the financial turmoil in 1997, and the federal crisis in 2002. I have survived them all, I am very good!"
People who can withstand the financial crisis are really awesome!
Zhou Tao's phone rang. He listened attentively for a few words, and the expression on his face changed back and forth.
Hanging up the phone, he said to Wu Jianye, "Old Wu, Morgan's people want to meet with you."
"Morgan's people? Didn't I tell you before that they are missing?" Wu Jianye thought of Morgan's previous tricks.
Zhou Tao shook his head, "It's their senior general manager."
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "It seems they are jealous and want a piece of the pie. They are also real big investment banks themselves."
"What do you mean?"
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said, "Since they begged us, let them come."
He now has the confidence.
Zhou Tao nodded. He knew that Wu Jianye had the capital to ask people from Morgan to come over. At this time, it had nothing to do with the size of the company, but to see who had the advantage.
Morgan's people came very quickly, a group of five or six people, headed by a woman, "Hello, Mr. Li, Chen Hailu."
"Sit down." The office room is not big, but it is a bit crowded with seven people squeezed into it.
Chen Hailu looked around and said, "Wu Sheng, he is a very diligent and thrifty person."
Wu Jianye said nonchalantly, "This is not my office, it belongs to Mr. Yan. I'm just here to sit around."
Chen Hailu curled her lips. The one with the top power in Xiangjiang didn't know that Yaoguang Group was Wu Jianye. Wu Jianye's attitude now was just to express his dissatisfaction with the fact that they had joined forces with Goldman Sachs and other companies to deceive Wu Jianye into short selling.
.
"Today's performance of the Hang Seng Index exceeded everyone's expectations. Mr. Wu still continues to believe that the U.S. stock market will do the same?"
Wu Jianye said: "If you weren't sure, you wouldn't come to me."
“Just yesterday, the U.S. Treasury Secretary announced that the U.S. dollar may take the initiative to depreciate. Coupled with the impact of bad news such as the cancellation of tax incentives for listed companies’ mergers and acquisitions, rumors of an escalation of the Gulf War, and the impact of the increase in the federal funds rate from March to September, U.S. stocks began to adjust. 10
The S&P 500 index fell for three consecutive trading days from October 14th to October 16th, with a cumulative decline of 10.1%. Today, stock markets in Hong Kong, Europe and other places plummeted one after another. Therefore, with such a vicious cycle, there is no reason why U.S. stocks should not fall. Mr. Wu,
We at Morgan want to cooperate with you." Chen Hailu immediately got to the point without any nonsense.
"How to cooperate? You also know that my layout has been completed."
"Mr. Wu, we pay and you come up with a pre-judgment plan. In the past, whether you were doing gold or the Japanese index, your judgments were very accurate. Even this time, we have no reason not to believe your judgment. We are willing to pay 20
Billions of dollars, it’s up to you to operate it.”
When it came to the Plaza Accord, Wu Jianye used people from Morgan. However, Wu Jianye was operating in the United States at that time, so this matter had only been circulated at Morgan headquarters. Chen Hailu was also reporting this matter to Morgan headquarters.
When the other party heard that it was Wu Jianye again, he immediately ordered Chen Hailu to come over and contact Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye has used his previous success to let the Morgan consortium see Wu Jianye's ability.
"Isn't it too late to make plans now?"
Chen Hailu smiled and said, "We have the best traders, the best computer equipment and high-frequency traders. You don't need to worry about this."
Time is money, which is a long-standing truth on Wall Street.
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "This is not an advantage. Let me tell you straight to the point, what benefits can I gain from cooperating with you?" After speaking, he looked at his watch and said with a smile: "Time waits for no one, the US stock market is about to open.
Already."
Chen Hailu said, "Mr. Wu, if you speak quickly, we can give you 10%. And we will waive your transaction fees with us."
"Thirty percent, and all transaction fees are waived for me. I don't want much."
Chen Hailu's expression changed, "Mr. Wu, can you guarantee that we will succeed? What if there is a loss here?"
"You asked me to cooperate." Wu Jianye still wanted to sell the things in his mind at a good price.
A person next to him went out to make a phone call and came back and whispered a few words to Chen Hailu.
Chen Hailu said with a smile, "Mr. Wu's maximum is only 20%. I can't explain it to the board of directors if it's more."
"Okay." Wu Jianye agreed, it was better than nothing.
After signing an agreement, Wu Jianye took out the note about the stock market crash that he had written when he came to Xiangjiang before, "Follow this operation."
Wu Jianye didn't let anyone see this note before because the stock market crash hadn't started yet, so he couldn't let anyone know about it. But now that the stock market crash has taken shape, Wu Jianye no longer worries.
Chen Hailu took it and looked at it. There were a lot of things written densely on the note, and there were even accurate time points. However, she still asked some questions, "Will all the short orders be placed within one hour of opening?"
"Yes, if it's too late, there will be no takers." Wu Jianye explained with a smile, "The short sellers who held short orders on Friday made money. So I predict that after the Dow opens, there will be no buying for a long time.
, there is no transaction. Don’t be anxious. At this time, with the advantages of your equipment, you will be able to complete the transaction if you wait slowly.”
“Short SP500 futures before the open and after the close?”
"Yes, if the funds respond quickly, arbitrage the entry period, and then hold the position until the settlement date, you can make huge profits in a short period of time. This is a God-given opportunity.
Morgan's people come and leave quickly.
The people from Morgan left, and the people from Goldman Sachs headquarters came. The purpose of coming was similar to that of Morgan. They both learned about Wu Jianye's plan in Hong Kong through the previous operation of the Plaza Accord.
The results of the negotiations were similar to those of Morgan before.
Watching the people from Goldman Sachs leave, Zhou Tao smiled and said, "You don't have to do anything and you can make money. It's so cool!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "We are happy this time, but it is estimated that American stock investors will be miserable!"
The joining of Wu Jianye, the joining of Morgan, the joining of Goldman Sachs, and the funds involved will make the stock market crash in Wu Jianye's memory even more cruel...
"Okay, let's go home." Wu Jianye patted his butt and prepared to go back.
Zhou Tao looked at him in surprise, "Are you leaving now?"
Wu Jianye asked back: "If you don't leave now, what are you doing? The market in the United States doesn't open until night. Besides, our money has been handed over to Yan Wen for processing. There's no point in staying here!"
Zhou Tao: "This is an operation worth tens of billions of dollars. Can you sit still?"
"The money has already been invested, what can we do if we can't sit still?" Wu Jianye patted Zhou Tao on the shoulder and said with a smile: "If you are worried, just stay here with Awen!"
Yan Wen is currently sitting outside, keeping an eye on the stock market. He is also responsible for contacting Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other financial groups to ensure that he can carry out the tasks Wu Jianye has given him at any time.
"Well, I'll stay here with Awen!" Zhou Tao said.
Wu Jianye didn't say anything, walked outside, told Yan Wen, and left!
Back in Bijia Mountain, Wu Jianye chatted with Gong Yin for a while, but he did not stay in Bijia Mountain because he knew that he would not be able to sleep well that night.
If he stayed in Beacon Hill, Gong Yin's sleep would not be guaranteed.
Just as Wu Jianye thought, he did not sleep well when he returned to Repulse Bay. Zhou Tao's phone calls came one after another.
Later, Wu Jianye had no choice but to sit down at his desk and start writing the script!
Now Wu Jianye basically spends all his free time writing scripts, including movie scripts and TV drama scripts. Although the stories of these scripts are all in his mind, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. It is safer to write them all down.
.
Even if he doesn't know how to direct some scripts, he can still direct them with Tangting Culture, Fengge Entertainment, and Phantom Entertainment. This is why Wu Jianye can immediately come up with the scripts after he tells them to find suitable actors.
In the end, Wu Jianye couldn't hold it any longer. Not long after he fell asleep, he heard his servants coming over and saying that Zhou Tao and Yan Wen were here!
"I know!" Wu Jianye said, rubbing his eyes.
After the servants left, Wu Jianye ordered a pajamas and walked to the living room, where he saw Zhou Tao and Yan Wen already sitting there with excited faces.
The sunlight has penetrated into the room, even shining on the end of the bed. Zhou Tao doesn't know where Wu Jianye comes from with such a big heart. It's such a chaos outside, but he can still sleep soundly, and he looks like it has nothing to do with him.
appearance.
"I just fell asleep, I'm going to wash up first." Wu Jianye said, his eyelids were still fighting up and down, and he was not in the mood to listen to anything.
After hearing that Wu Jianye had just fallen asleep, Zhou Tao felt that Wu Jianye was still a little worried.
However, when Zhou Tao saw Wu Jianye's leisurely look, he felt helpless again. It was as if the emperor was not in a hurry to kill the eunuch! He unconsciously lit up the cigarette again. The hand holding the lighter was still a little trembling, and he failed to light the fire several times.
Zhou Tao saw Wu Jianye coming out of the bathroom and said hurriedly, "The market opened more than 200 points lower. At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped by 57.32 points, plummeting from 2246.72 points to 166.40 points, a record drop of 25.74%."
It reached the highest one-day decline record. Lao Wu, we won! And your prediction was absolutely correct, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced a four-day trading suspension!"
The look in Zhou Taoren's eyes when he saw Wu Jianye was completely different. He was simply overwhelmed with admiration! His admiration for Wu Jianye was like an endless river!
On the contrary, Yan Wen on the side acted a little calmer. This was also because Yan Wen had gone through the Plaza Accord with Wu Jianye before.
The Dow Jones Index fell by as much as three years in one day. This is something that no one can imagine and no one dares to imagine!
But Wu Jianye dared to make such a bold prediction!
It’s a completely divine prediction!
Wu Jianye was stunned. The trend of the U.S. stock market was slightly deviated from history. The U.S. stock market did not have such a big decline originally. It seems that because of his joining with Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other consortiums, the decline of the U.S. stock market was aggravated!
Zhou Tao waved his hand in front of Wu Jianye's eyes, "Old Wu, Old Wu."
"Oh." Wu Jianye came back to his senses and said, "Has the position been closed?"
Seeing that Wu Jianye finally asked the question, Yan Wen said happily: "Although we have only closed 70% of the position, we have all made 9.799 billion. Goldman Sachs, Morgan and other consortiums have exempted us from all the losses in accordance with the agreement.
Funding interest and handling fees.”
This cost alone can save more than 200 million, so he can't help but be unhappy.
"This profit is enough!" Wu Jianye was quite satisfied. Even if the remaining 30% of the position lost money, he wouldn't feel bad. Anyway, he made money.
At this time, the funds Wu Jianye participated in were already comparable to those of the world's top short-selling consortiums.
Nearly $600 billion disappeared from the U.S. stock market in one day, and all of the money fell into the pockets of these short-selling consortiums.
When the stock market rises or falls, who wins and who loses?
We don't look at it from a macroeconomic perspective, but from a purely microscopic perspective on the secondary market. Secondary market transactions themselves do not directly create wealth, but more of a transfer of wealth.
It can be said that the money was earned by those who threw it at a high point, and the person who took over became a pauper.
"Everything was out of control," the New York Times reported.
Countless investors suffered heavy losses on this day. Sam Walton, the world's richest man, lost US$2.1 billion in stock value in one day, Bill Gates, the youngest billionaire in the world, lost US$3.945 billion, and the computer king lost US$3.945 billion.
Wang An lost US$31 million in the afternoon of the 19th alone.
Many millionaires became poor overnight. The most miserable ones were those investors who invested in stocks with their hard-earned money accumulated over the years. Shocked by the plummeting stock prices, the psychology of stock investors became extremely fragile. They were overwhelmed by the heavy debt due to the plummeting stock market.
Many people suffered a complete mental breakdown, and news of suicides was endless. Banks went bankrupt, factories closed, companies laid off large numbers of people, and people were panicked.
On this day, more than one-third of the United States' gross national product evaporated, far exceeding the value of another time and space...
