As mentioned many times above, short trading, also known as "securities lending" trading, is one of the most common types of trading in the financial market.

The general practice is that short sellers borrow shares of a company from other investment institutions, and then take them to the stock market to sell, causing panic in the market, thus playing a role in suppressing the company's stock price.

The key point is that the short seller's means of acquiring a company's shares is to "borrow", not "buy", and the short seller sells the stock by "borrowing" the stock, so as to suppress the stock price.

Of course, in the process of selling stocks, the short seller also made a profit from selling the stock.

However, if you borrow something, you will repay it, and you must return the money to the people who borrowed the stocks before.

Therefore, after the company's stock price is suppressed, the short seller buys back the shares that were sold out at a lower price and returns them to others.

The difference between the proceeds from selling the shares before and the cost of buying back the shares at the end is the gain for the short sellers.

Of course, this simplest short-selling routine is just a general novice's gameplay, such as Qiao Tianyu, Yamaki Kobayashilang, Soros and other financial predators, if they play shorting, they will not be satisfied with only earning the difference between buying and selling stocks, they also have more advanced ways to play.

That is, before they borrow the stock and sell it, they will also buy a lot of put futures or options on the stock in the futures market.

Once they are successful in shorting the stock, the price of the stock plummets, and not only can they make a big profit on the bid-ask spread of the stock, but at the same time, because they have previously bought a large number of put futures or options in the futures market, which is much more leveraged than the stock market.

Therefore, the income they earn in the futures market is far greater than the income in the stock market, and this income in the futures market is the ultimate pursuit of advanced players!

If you are interested, you can study the previous short-selling wars launched by the financial predator Soros.

Whether it is the 1992 sniper British pound campaign, the short Italian lira, or the 1997 war against Southeast Asian countries, the battle against the Hong Kong dollar, etc., the tricks used by Soros are all "stock market + futures market" routine.

And this time, Qiao Tianyu is going to start from this angle and compete with Yamaki Kobayashilang!

"Okay!" Li Jiaxing ordered that he immediately entered a series of character commands into the "Sky Eye" monitoring system.

The "Sky Eye" monitoring system does not fail in its mission, using its powerful securities flow monitoring module, it takes less than ten seconds to display all the query results.

"Boss, I found out that the stocks used to short the five major investment banks on Wall Street are all from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon and other three major American arms dealers. Li Jiaxing immediately reported.

"Lockheed Martin, Boeing, Raytheon?"

Hearing this result, Qiao Tianyu was a little surprised, when did those arms dealers become so interested in the stocks of the five major investment banks, and they actually held so many stocks of the five major investment banks at once?

In other words, are those arms dealers fed, or is the investigation data of the "Sky Eye" monitoring system wrong?

Seeing that Qiao Tianyu had some doubts about the query result, Li Jiaxing immediately explained, "Boss, there is absolutely no problem with the query result!"

"I'm here to show that just half an hour ago, these arms dealers raised shares from Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America and Wells Fargo, the 'Big Four Commercial Banks in the United States'!"

Hearing Li Jiaxing's explanation, Qiao Tianyu suddenly realized that this could be explained.

On weekdays, there is a lot of communication between commercial banks and Wall Street investment banks in the United States, such as securities mortgage loans, stock trading, etc., and it is already a well-known thing that they hold stocks with each other.

In fact, this is also a reasonable thing, maybe only those big commercial banks in the United States can take out so many stocks of the five major investment banks at one time!

It seems that there should be no problem with the query results of the "Sky Eye" monitoring system, and this time the three major arms dealers in the United States, such as Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Raytheon, have also become pimps of Yamaki Kobayashi!

"Jiaxing, immediately help me check the futures and options trading situation of the five major investment banks on Wall Street in the major futures markets in the United States!" Qiao Tianyu then ordered.

"Okay!" Li Jiaxing immediately operated the "Sky Eye" monitoring system, and quickly retrieved the results.

"Boss, in the past three days, there have been no new futures and options transactions on the five major investment banks on Wall Street in the major futures markets in the United States. ”

"What? no new additions?" Hearing this result, Qiao Tianyu's jaw was so shocked that his jaw was about to drop.

How is it possible? How can a trader of the level of Kobayashi Yamaki play short trading without futures and options trading?

No! This is definitely not right! Going straight is definitely not Yamaki Kobayashi's style! He can't trade without futures and options!

"I don't believe it!" Family bank, immediately expand the scope of my inquiry, check the world's major futures markets, and see what the hell Yamaki Kobayashi Lang is doing?!" Qiao Tianyu ordered.

"Okay!" Li Jiaxing took the order and acted immediately.

It's just that this time there are too many futures markets to be queried, and it took nearly ten seconds for the "Sky Eye" monitoring system to check all the major futures markets around the world.

Two days ago, someone anonymously used up to 100 times leverage on the London Stock Exchange to buy a total of $100 billion in put options on the stocks of the five major investment banks on Wall Street!" Li Jiaxing exclaimed.

"London Stock Exchange?Anonymous Purchase?" Hearing this, Qiao Tianyu sneered.

Shorting the stocks of the five major investment banks on the New York Stock Exchange in the United States, but running to the London Stock Exchange tens of thousands of miles away to buy put options, this Yamaki Kobayashi Lang is really careful enough!

But seriously, if it weren't for Qiao Tianyu holding the "Sky Eye" monitoring system, a monitoring and tracking artifact, today, he really wouldn't have been able to discover the conspiracy of Yamaki Kobayashilang!

Having said that, Yamaki Kobayashi is indeed crazy, using up to 100 times leverage to buy a total of $100 billion in put options, which means that this time Yamaki Kobayashi wants to leverage $10 trillion in stock trading!

It's crazy to be greedy enough to swallow elephants!

Now that he has seen through the conspiracy of Yamaki Kobayashi, there is nothing to say, this time Qiao Tianyu must let Yamaki Kobayashi Lang come and go, and let him know what it means to be four or two thousand catties!

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianyu habitually pinched the corner of his nose twice with his right hand, shouted "kill" in his heart, and soon issued multiple instructions one after another......
