Once market confidence is shaken, it is difficult to restore it. This has forced many technology companies to use every possible means to buy back their own stocks in order to restore the confidence of investors. This trick is still very effective. Although the Nasdaq is falling, it is still there.
Not to the point of collapse.
But things are no longer that simple. The capital that buys down will not let go of this golden opportunity, and everything is being fought in secret.
William only had to sit quietly and watch. Throughout late March and early April, William never left the VIP room of the National Bank. He could no longer care about Alexander.
He kept discussing with his subordinates throughout the day. In the past month, the Nasdaq fell by more than 430 points, which made him earn more than one billion US dollars in one month.
Alexander, who had not seen William for many days, finally couldn't help but come to the bank to find William, and William, a loser, couldn't help showing off his achievements to his goddess.
After hearing that William had made 1 billion U.S. dollars, Alexander pestered William every day in the next few days, constantly persuading him, hoping that William would just give up when he got better, and even had a big quarrel with William.
He said he was going back to Brazil.
William would not quit at this time, let alone give up everything and go to Brazil with Alexander. He would not leave unless his wife gave birth to a child or his mother fell ill, because tomorrow is the announcement of the results of the Weisoft monopoly case.
Date, this is the moment of the final decisive battle, the moment when the Devonshire family's wealth increases dramatically, and the best time for the Devonshire family's wealth to reach the top of England.
After cruelly sending Alexander away, William focused wholeheartedly on any disturbances in the Nasdaq and the United States. Everything was as William hoped. In April, a federal judge announced that based on the evidence collected, it was proved that Weisoft did have monopoly behavior.
The court announced the results of the Microsoft monopoly complaint investigation, which was the real beginning of the US stock market crash.
The market value of Microsoft in this era is too high, with a market value of 600 billion US dollars. If Microsoft is split up, how much money will it lose? For those who took loans and bought the shares of Microsoft with high leverage, this is really a sunny day.
Thunderbolt, once Wesoft is broken up, how many people will go bankrupt because of Wesoft's stock.
As soon as this news came out, ordinary investors holding WeSoft shares in the market began to panic, and a large number of sell orders appeared. The stock market immediately began to fall, and the computers in the exchange were unable to process the orders after receiving them.
A scene from 1987 appeared again on the exchange. A large number of orders waiting to be traded were stranded. The appearance of this scene increased the panic of investors. By mid-May, the Nasdaq had dropped from 5048 on March 10 to
3500 points on May 14th.
As for the three-month stock index futures that William bought when he opened the position in March, William had already started selling the futures in his hands when the Nasdaq was over 3,700 points in May. By the end of three months, he had sold all the futures contracts in his hands.
William took the report that Phillips handed him.
He was so excited that he couldn't express his excitement. This time, the average selling point of his futures contract was more than 3,600 points. During the period of his contract, the Nasdaq fell a total of 1,400 points. William made a profit of 2.44 million U.S. dollars after falling a little. This time, he made a total of 3.416 billion U.S. dollars.
, plus his own principal of 350 million U.S. dollars and additional margin of 0.82 million U.S. dollars.
After the contract was completed, he had a total of 3.848 billion US dollars in hand, and it was in cash. Two-thirds of the money was earned from the island country. Thinking about it, William felt happy.
Then he thought about having to pay taxes, which made William's heart and liver hurt. Although he didn't know how much he would have to pay, it would definitely be hundreds of millions. He was really reluctant to part with it. Damn, William didn't dare not to pay it.
If you don't pay such a large amount of money, you will be wanted by people around the world. The tax department will send dozens or hundreds of people to watch you 24 hours a day. They will watch everything you have and any business dealings with you.
Companies and individuals will be watched by them, and they will even arrest people directly if possible.
In short, in Europe and the United States, except for some parts of Asia, the Federal Tax Service is the most powerful, ruthless, and most difficult agency in the Americas. They have their own troops and law enforcement personnel, and they do not even need to report to relevant agencies and departments.
If you don't agree, they will arrest you, seize your assets, fine you, throw you in jail, and drag you to court for several years, and they will drag you to death for more than ten years.
If William wants to live in Europe and the United States, he will not dare to go against them. If he still wants to invest in companies in the United States that are destined to prosper in the future, he cannot do this. It is too simple for the federal tax to ruin his good deeds. A tax evader
Suspicion can block any investment intention of William in Lao America.
If you want to hold more than 5% of your shares in the United States, you must declare it to the American government, and you need approval from some federal committees before you can trade. By then, William, who is suspected of tax evasion, will no longer be able to invest in the United States.
Just like the founder of Facebook who only owned 1.4 shares, he changed his nationality to Singapore to avoid taxes, and has been in trouble ever since.
It seems that we need to discuss it carefully with the lawyer and the National Bank. The tax still has to be paid, but there are still many ways to pay it, but there are still many ways to pay it. Otherwise, there may be so many lawyers in Europe and the United States. Although the legal fees are very expensive, but
These lawyers can really help you save money reasonably.
Although there will be some troubles in the later stage, that is all in the future. William looked at the excited people in the VIP trading room, walked to a table, clapped his hands and said:
"Thank you for your hard work and dedication in the past three months. Guys, you are indeed worthy of being happy. I will treat 1% of this profit as your extra bonus, which means that in three months, each of you 11
Congratulations to you guys for being able to share the income of 7 million US dollars. You are all millionaires now. Now cheer and celebrate."
"Hail, long live Mr. Devonshire,"
"Oh my god, I'm going to Hollywood, to the Brazilian open-air baths, and the beauties on the beach are all waiting for me."
William, who had just announced that he would give out bonuses, had to be reminded by the villain: "Okay, guys, don't forget to keep it secret when you are happy, and don't forget to keep your mouth shut."
"No problem, even if my wife and parents don't tell me, I guarantee that not even a shred of news will get out," everyone promised with an oath.
"Well, guys, after all my money is returned to the National Bank account, it will be time for you to share the money and travel. Come on, guys," William clapped his hands and ordered.
"No problem, boss, we promise to get the money tomorrow," Phillips assured, patting his chest.
William nodded, picked up the phone and called his personal lawyer Anthony.
"Hello, BOSS, do you have any orders?" Anthony's voice came from the phone.
William said: "Anthony, my castle looks like this, three months is enough to renovate it."
"Of course, boss, there are many professional construction companies that cannot accept jobs. We have found three of the best design companies. Your mother, Mrs. Devonshire, has been in Oxford for the past three months, watching the construction progress of the castle.
The main body and interior of the castle have been renovated. It will take a few more days to complete the lawns outside the castle, the woods and fountains. Congratulations, Mr. Devonshire, now the whole of England knows that you have bought it back.
Devonshire Family Castle,"
"Thank you, Anthony. I have a tax case involving hundreds of millions of dollars. Is your firm interested in taking it on?" William said.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes? Boss, you have made so much money in the stock market. God, boss, you must be God's illegitimate son. Of course we are interested. Does the boss want us to go to Switzerland or is he ready to wait for you in England?" Anthony
said excitedly
"It's better to wait for me in England. I will go back to Oxford directly in two days. I will wait for you in the castle," William said
"Understood, boss"
William hung up the phone and said to Phillips: "Call the restaurant to deliver the food. After the money arrives tomorrow, everyone can use the money to enjoy life. If you persist for one more day, your stay-at-home order will be lifted."
Phillips smiled and said to William: "It's okay, boss, everyone understands the importance of confidentiality. Besides, this operation was successful only because of your decision, boss. For three months, I just bought and sold according to your requirements."
You can earn 7 million US dollars, and no one will be dissatisfied. They all understand your approach, boss."
"It's good that you can understand, haha, I don't know if there will be such a good opportunity in the future," William said.
He doesn’t know if the stock market will ever be the same as in the previous life. There is still a lot of luck involved in the success this time. The inertia of history is still very large. This time because of his participation, the Nasdaq fell more than 100 points compared to the previous life.
.
Although William thinks the general direction will not change in the future, it is impossible to operate as accurately within a few points as this time. History has changed.
The risk of operating futures at a large multiple is very high. If the price rises or falls by dozens of points, the position can be liquidated. If no buyer takes over, it is normal for the principal to be lost.
The opportunity to get rich overnight is gone, but there are still many opportunities in the stock market. The U.S. stock market will rise and fall over the next more than a year, all the way down to more than 1,400 points. Then buy some companies with bright prospects at low prices.
Stocks, wait for the appreciation of U.S. stocks, and William's assets will rise several times or more. Although it will take a long time, there is no need to be as worried as this time. William believes that he will definitely be the richest man in England in more than ten years, and maybe the richest man in the world.
It's possible, just thinking about it, William feels wonderful and a wonderful life is waiting for him.
