Chapter 150: Ten Billion Pounds Evaporated in One Word
City of London.
Smith Investment Fund Management.
Early in the morning, Hugh Smith felt the office and called an emergency meeting, but the plan he proposed was opposed by other managers.
"Cicell Industries has been doing very well and has a good relationship with the Bank of Baring, so I don't think we can make a profit by shorting it, on the contrary, it could cost us a lot of money. ”
"Bobble. I agree with your analysis, but what if, I mean, there are other great crises that are not known to the Citchel Industries?"
"Crisis, do you have proof?"
"Nope. ”
"God, Smith. You know what you're talking about, in the absence of any exact short signals and news, when all fundamental and technical bullish trends are obvious, go short on a quality stock in the bearing industry.
IMHO, this is simply stupid. ”
"Bobble. My good partner, listen, yesterday John Robert, the owner of the Joy Finance Company, invited me to a banquet, and my judgment came from there. ”
"John Robert, the bastard who got his ex-wife's daughter?"
"Hmm. That's the bastard. He invited me to the opening banquet of Jiuding Bank, and guess who I saw there?"
“......”
"Shen Jiannan, I saw Shen Jiannan there. God, you don't know, he greeted me with a smile. ”
"Oh mma gay, you won't tell me, it was Shen Jiannan who told you that the shares of the Citchell Industries Group are going to plummet. ”
"Nope. But similarly, I heard him talk to Robert John about his views on the bearing industry, and he felt that from the current European economy, the prospects of the bearing industry are really worrying.
In addition, he advised Robert John to set up a short seller in the relevant industry and named the Sealell Industries Group. ”
"That's right. Robert John was his subordinate. ”
"Oh my God. Is this true?"
"Of course. I heard it with my own ears. ”
"Bastard, why didn't you say it earlier. ”
"You didn't ask. ”
"Let's try to analyze that the financial markets of various countries are currently in a state of extreme volatility, and the number of people asking for relief money is increasing. ”
"Not only that, but as far as I know, even Rolls-Royce Motor Cars' orders are declining sharply, on the contrary, Japanese cars have a strong competitive advantage in the low-end market. ”
"This shows that the future of the European economy is really worrying, and people don't have more money to buy expensive furniture. ”
“.......”
After some analysis, the two confirmed one point.
As Shen Jiannan said, the future of the bearing industry is very bleak, and shorting Citchel Industries is indeed a lucrative investment.
"What size of position do you think we should build?"
'It's a rare opportunity, we lost the pound chance but now it's in front of us. ”
"Eighty percent?"
"Nope. I think it's better to be 100 percent, and after today, we can't get rich or not. ”
"It's a really good idea. ”
“......”
The human brain is defective.
And this flaw, when caught in the logic of the supervisor, is difficult to get rid of this logic.
Who is Shen Jiannan?
God?
To the speculators, he is indeed God.
Although, atheists will feel that there is no god in the world.
But if a person accomplishes what no one else can, or even does what he says, then he is God.
The devil who raped Finland, sold the bastards of Italy, brought down the main culprit of the Bank of England, and made billions of dollars in huge profits when it plagued Europe.
Such a being is not a god or anything.
"Vincent, I believe that this is indeed an opportunity to make a fortune, God, that is Shen Jiannan. ”
“......”
"Montel, I want you to open a sell position of five million pounds on the Citchell Industries Group as soon as the market opens. ”
"Sir. Wouldn't that be too rash?"
"Nope. That's Shen Jiannan. ”
"But ......"
"Hmm. We can observe, and if it does, hopefully not too late. ”
“........”
At nine o'clock in the morning, the auction time of the London stock market.
Shen Jiannan glanced at the time on the computer, comfortably lit a cigar, and looked at the Reuters screen not far away with some expectation.
It's a mule or a horse, and you'll know it's a yo-yo today.
If it does, then the reputation that he has made in Europe at the risk will become the biggest bargaining chip in his hands.
Knock –
The trading software prompted the opening time, and William looked at the quotation of Citchell Industries Group and shouted at Shen Jiannan.
“BOSS。 Citchell Industries opened three percent lower. ”
Only three percent?
Shen Jiannan showed a look of dissatisfaction on his face.
Back then, Jesse Livermore could make the price of any stock drop by five percent with one word, and it seemed that his name was not enough.
Or are these guys now more cautious and cunning than the previous speculators?
Finally, the stock market officially opened.
Without any hesitation, William picked up the one-button shot and quickly entered a set of codes on it.
As the program is triggered, a set of numbers is passed to the central computer of the exchange in a fraction of a second and displayed on the Reuters screen.
Citchell Industries, 2.68 sell 6666666
Birmingham, Cicell Industries Tower.
David Cicell forgot all his thoughts and studied the takeover of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars so important that he had to think carefully about where the bottom line would be for the BMW Group and Volkswagen.
Compared with an Oriental countryman who has never seen the world, the BMW Group and Volkswagen are the real terrible opponents.
But suddenly, David Sealell felt as if something was wrong, and when he looked at the place where it didn't feel right, his brown eyes seemed to be soaked in blood.
Red!
The red is dazzling, the red is incredible.
Cicell Industries.
2.68 Sell 6666666
2.67 sell 20
2.67 Sell 35
2.65 Sell 3000
2.60 Sell 666666
2.58 sells 2852
2.5 Sell 666666
......
When the Citchell Industries Group opened three percent lower, the market instantly exploded with a large amount of selling.
Under the frenzied encroachment of marching man-eating ants, the stock price of Citchell Industries Group fell by 12 percent in less than three minutes, and the chart was like a waterfall falling from the sky and constantly impacting downward.
How so?
David Seal's hand fell to the table, and the candlestick on the tick chart smashed into his head like a giant stick.
As president of Citchell Industries, he knows too well how good the company's performance is, and the whole environment should not have the possibility of a decline at all.
But now, what is it?
Involuntarily, a devil's whisper irrepressibly echoed in David Cicell's ears.
Accidentally!
It must have been an accident.
Like a pheasant in the water trying to grasp the life-saving straw floating in the river, David Citchell hurriedly transferred the software to all the stocks in the London stock market.
Green - full of green, environmentally friendly color, people can feel a heartfelt comfort.
But for David Cicell, he didn't feel the slightest bit of environmental health, he stared blankly at the constantly flashing numbers on the screen, and the whole person was about to sand sculpture.
Rolls-Royce Plc,1.73,+13%。
AstraZeneca,2.25,+9.45%
GlaxoSmithKline,3.35,+7.25%
BP PLC,6.15,+5.8%
.....
BATS,3.56,+5.3%
Sony,2.76,+4.5%
BP PLC.....
FTSE,2553,+1.85%
Looking at the quotations of the securities market on the screen, David Citchell was completely at a loss, the FTSE index opened up by 1.85 percent, whether it was a British stock or a foreign listed company, the average increase was more than 1.85 percent, and the power machinery industry and the pharmaceutical industry led the market.
Among them, Rolls-Royce led the market in the power industry, with an increase of 13 percent, and in the pharmaceutical industry, AstraZeneca and GlaxoSmithKline led the market, with an increase of 9.45 percent and 7.25 percent, respectively.
Of the 742 stocks in the market, 16 are red, and Cicell Industries is the reddest.
Bell Bell Bell –
The screeching phone rang suddenly, and David Citchell reflexively grabbed the phone.
"Sir. Our stock was hit hard by the market as soon as it opened today, you better take a look, I don't know what's going on, but it looks very bad. ”
The call came from Freddy Bell, head of the board secretary's department, a trader who used to work at Lloyds Bank and is now head of the securities department of Cicell Industries, who has a wealth of trading experience and mobilized tens of millions of pounds to try to protect the market when he noticed that something was wrong.
But the selling pressure in the market was so great that tens of millions of pounds were sprinkled into it without even making a splash, and seeing that the situation was getting worse, Bell had to call the president for advice.
At this time, David Citchell couldn't react that this was Shen Jiannan's ghost, and a deep uneasiness and trepidation emerged from the bottom of his heart, although he was unwilling to admit the fear in his heart.
"I already know, listen, Bell, I want you to try to keep the price of the stock as good as you can, no matter what you do. This is a despicable conspiracy, and I will immediately convene a board meeting to discuss a solution. ”
"I'll do my best. ”
Glancing at the constant sell-offs in the market, Freddy Bell said in a deep voice.
"But you need to be as soon as possible, it's very bad. ”
“......”
The result was the only criterion for verifying the truth, and seeing the stock price of the Citchell Industries Group plummet by 20 percent in an instant, Sterke excitedly drew a cross in his chest.
"Thank you so much, Henry, if you hadn't reminded me, my friend and I would have faced a great loss. God, if it hadn't happened, I really can't imagine that the shares of the Sealell Industries Group would have plummeted by more than 20 percent in 10 minutes. ”
"Scott. Now you believe me, listen, this is an opportunity to make a fortune, why not take the opportunity to short again and make a fortune. ”
"Oh. This note is fantastic. ”
“.......”
"Oh God. Is the Citchell Industries really going bankrupt, otherwise why would it fall like this?"
In an ordinary villa, a middle-aged man looked at the falling stock prices on his computer, and his bowels were blue with regret.
Last night, he received news from a friend that Cicell Industries owed a large sum of money to the Bank of Bahrain and could face prosecution.
But he didn't believe this kind of absurdity.
What are you kidding, Citchell Industries Group and the Bank of Bahrain have a good relationship, how can they be sued for their liabilities.
But now, the market has proven it.
The truth in the stock market is never broken – the market always reacts faster than the news confirms.
Perhaps, it's too late to stop the loss.
Although he regretted and heartache in his heart, as if he had been cut by a knife, the middle-aged man still made a choice.
He quickly typed a few numbers on the keyboard and clicked OK.
Cicell Industries, 2.4, sell 25894
Fortunately or unfortunately, in the adult world, the process never matters, between love and bread, there is always a bias towards bread over time.
The world of capital, even more so.
Cause and effect are not important, performance, prospects and development, in the loud slogan and bright prospects, are not comparable to the profit and loss that can be seen in front of you.
In other words, effect is the cause.
British people have always attached more importance to the concept of time, and if they don't go to work until they go to work, they won't go to work, and when it's time to get off work, they will definitely leave work on time.
Luckily, it's work time.
In ten minutes, David Cicell invited all the board members to the boardroom, and even if they were not available, they called them.
However, he did not know that during this time, the market value of the Sealell Industrial Group had evaporated by 10 billion pounds, a decline of almost 50%.
"Gentlemen. I'm sorry to summon you here urgently, but right now, we have a small problem that requires you to make a decision. ”
"David, we believe in your abilities. If you have any questions, please feel free to speak up. ”
"That's right. Our company was sniped by international speculators, and at the opening of the morning, the stock price fell by 10 percent, which may have a little impact on our acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. ”
"What good advice do you have. ”
"My suggestion is to reveal our acquisition plans to the market at noon today and teach those damn speculators a hard lesson. ”
“......”
At the same time.
At the headquarters of the Bank of Bahrain, the head of the risk control department rushed into the president's office in a panic and knocked on the closed door.
Sam Redmelin was a little dissatisfied with his subordinates' panicked attitude and couldn't help but remind him.
"Seth. It's work time, shouldn't you pay attention to your image?"
Unfortunately, Seth Bakken didn't have the time to pay attention to his image, gasping for breath and pulling at the tie around his neck with a parched mouth.
"Sam, no. ”
