Chapter 53: The money from selling the game arrives
As soon as William and his group left the Olympic Stadium, they were followed by paparazzi, and some bold guys even rode motorcycles close to William to take pictures.
William, who was driving, was so blinded by the flash that he could barely see the road clearly. These guys really didn't care about the safety of drivers at all. Fortunately, Kensington was not far away.
The three cars drove directly into Kensington. Princess Diana was still greeting them at the door. It was exactly six o'clock when they entered. William accompanied the princess and chatted with the two princes.
After Prince Charles came back from get off work, everyone happily sat in the restaurant to have dinner together.
After dinner, Prince Charles took Wilson, Harry and William for a walk in Kensington.
Prince Charles didn't care about the paparazzi outside the palace. He deliberately walked closer to the gate and let them take pictures with a smile on his face. From time to time, he also patted William's shoulder in a friendly way. This made the paparazzi with cameras go crazy.
Well, there will be big news again tomorrow.
Not long after, even the broadcast truck arrived, and the audience who didn't know what was going on were shocked. What was the background of William Devonshire? He had such a good relationship with the royal family.
The group chatted about football, film and television, culture and geography, and finally talked about the American stock market. Prince Charles was a little excited and worried about the current stock market.
What is exciting is that he has made a lot of money investing in Nasdaq in the past few years. What is worrying is that many people are now worried that the market value of the stock market is too high.
It's so high that it makes people crazy. Stock trading is no joke. Even the cleaning lady has no intention of working. One day's rise in the stock market is worth her hard work for a week.
This made Prince Charles very worried. He had recently heard the opinions of many experts, but could not reach a unified opinion. Prince Charles talked to William casually, not expecting to get any opinions from William. He was just worried.
It took me many days before I casually said it today when I was happy.
William looked at this English prince who was completely different from William's previous life. He still had a good impression of this prince who was gentle, funny, and loyal to only Princess Diana.
William lowered his head and thought about some hindsight analysis he had seen in his previous life and knew some real reasons. Of course, it couldn't be all true. The market was too complicated. He didn't know what the specific facts were anyway.
What William knows is that the stock market peaked at 5132.52, and the Nasdaq peaked at 5048.62 on March 10 this year.
The direct reason was that the plunge in biotechnology stocks led to a plunge in technology stocks. In addition, Microsoft lost its antitrust lawsuit on April 3, which caused a panic in the market and continued to fall until September 2002.
He doesn't remember the specifics, but having this information can already make him a fortune.
When Prince Charles saw William lowering his head and thinking about something, he stopped Wei Li and Harry who wanted to talk to William.
Prince Charles suddenly wanted to hear William's opinion.
After walking pretentiously for a few minutes, William raised his head and said to Prince Charles: "Your Highness, actually I thought a lot about the Nasdaq in January. After I figured it out, I couldn't wait to play Plants vs. Zombies.
of games sold.
Because I know that even if this game can earn me hundreds of millions of wealth, it will only take a few years or more than ten years, and if there is no change in the market, once the market goes bad and people have no money,
The peripheral profitability of this game will be significantly reduced."
“My judgment is that the Nasdaq is likely to reach a peak in recent months. The simplest reason is that less than 1% of technology companies are profitable now.
The vast majority of technology companies are committing fraud, and their executives are cashing out. The massive investment in R&D funds cannot produce any profits. Everyone invests in the stock market, and most people still borrow money from banks to invest, and invest with high leverage. There is no such thing in the market.
All the money is in the stock market,
As long as there is a little risk, and the stock market falls by tens or hundreds of points, the vast majority of leveraged investments will be forcibly cut off by banks, and then panic will spread and a crash will be inevitable.”
Although what William said was very simple, it sounded more convincing to Prince Charles than what the experts said, because he had always wondered whether the stock market would fall, especially the U.S. stock market. Now after listening to William's words, he just felt...
He had a decent reason.
But there was nothing he could do. Downing Street would not listen to him. Prince Charles sighed and asked William: "So, you sold the game so quickly because you wanted to invest the money in the stock market to buy short?"
William nodded. This was the reason why he said what he just said. He even hoped that Prince Charles would spread what he said, but His Royal Highness was still very ethical. He ordered Wilson and Harry to stop them.
If word of what William said spreads, it will have a great impact on William, and the whole people may attack him.
But it doesn't matter. When William was walking this way just now, he mentally noticed two paparazzi holding small round pots to receive sound, so he deliberately walked to a place only about ten meters away from the gate. What they were saying now was hidden by the two.
The paparazzi in the dark used a simple receiver pot to eavesdrop clearly.
Prince Charles' security also discovered these two unusual paparazzi early on. After reporting them to the prince, Prince Charles looked at William and signaled whether he wanted to pursue them.
William shook his head with a smile. He just hoped that someone would spread what he said. He watched the two paparazzi running away, feeling happy in his heart.
Prince Charles smiled and shook his head and said: "William, you should know the consequences of what the people just said."
"Of course, I am very aware of the consequences, but cursing now will be rewarded with favor in the future. And if you take a precaution first, you will have much less trouble in the future. And your worries just now are not without merit. If the stock market is really
I'm so excited, maybe your reputation will be improved after what you said just now."
"Okay, I know you are smart. Just think about it in your mind. Let's go. The show for so long is almost enough. Let's go back and have a drink."
"No problem, thank you too, Your Highness."
The two paparazzi were trembling with excitement. They knew they would distribute the recording if they sold it, so they ran to a car with their equipment and drove away quickly.
When William and the three princes returned home after drinking whiskey for more than an hour, the TV station was already playing William's remarks to Prince Charles in Kensington about the collapse of the Nasdaq.
This incident caused an uproar in England in an instant, and William suddenly changed from the most popular genius in England to the most unpopular person.
No one wants to see the stock market fall, as too many people's interests are at stake.
When William got home, he didn't turn on the TV. He knew he would be pissed off if he watched it. He went back to his room and practiced with the eighteen throwing knives he bought at the knife store, practicing according to Bullseye's experience in his mind.
At eight o'clock in the evening, William received a call from the Swiss National Bank. Blockbuster had just transferred the money for the game to the Swiss National Bank at 3 p.m. U.S. time.
After William hung up the phone from the National Bank, he received a call from the Bank of England. It was Blockbuster who also transferred the money to the Bank of England.
William ordered two banks to convert all the pounds into U.S. dollars. According to the current exchange rate, 135 million pounds can be exchanged for 220 million U.S. dollars. If you want to sell short in the United States, it is better to use U.S. dollars for easier settlement.
William shouted excitedly after hanging up the phone. The worries in his heart were finally gone. He was really a real billionaire. He had 220 million US dollars before he was 20 years old. In less than 2 months, he might be able to become one.
10 dollar rich man
William waved his hand in excitement, and the flying knife in his hand circled along the wall of the room and returned to his hand.
After practicing flying knives for several hours, William made rapid progress when he was in a good mood. In this way, William mastered the Bullseye stunt. From now on, he would have another life-saving stunt.
Eighteen-finger-length flying knives kept appearing and disappearing in William's hand, and William was having a great time playing.
Suddenly remembering that the cell phone had interrupted William's self-pleasure, he put away the throwing knife. William took out the cell phone and saw that it was Barney's call from the Suicide Squad.
After William got through, he heard Barney's apology: "Sorry, boss, we messed up and Carlos died."
Damn it, you're just arresting someone, how could you miss it?
