"Sorry, I'll interrupt, didn't you just say you made a lot of money?"

On Christmas Day, Sen Xia and Yuki have already taken a plane away, while Qianjia and Xue Nai are playing mahjong.

It's obviously a birthday, but my brother is with someone else, and this kind of thing is a big blow to Yukino.

There must have been some comforting elements for Yukino, so everyone decided to play mahjong all night tonight.

That said, in fact, while playing mahjong, Yukino and Alice were talking about finance, while Mite and Chika were listening.

By the way, Lihua was banned from going to the mahjong table again after Lianhu had two Nine Lotus Treasure Lanterns.

So at this time, everyone is PK in half a catty, but so far, no one has an absolute advantage.

"Profit on paper is not the same as real profit. "Short-selling during stock market crashes and financial crises can indeed generate a lot of paper profits, five, ten, or even hundred, but in reality, your real profit may only be 30%. ”

Although she looks young, Alice is not an idle person.

Mite doesn't care much about this kind of thing, but because of her family connections, she also knows a little bit about finance and the like, but because of this, she is even more confused when she listens.

What Xue Nai and Alice are talking about, at first it was last year's financial turmoil, Alice's family and Tianhai's family seemed to have made a fortune, and then they talked about financial speculation, and then they talked about financial leverage, and just after that, the two talked about the profit earned from financial speculation.

To put it simply, if there is a principal of 100 yuan, and then the leverage is used to generate a benefit of 1000 yuan, and then a short selling operation on a stock is carried out, and a profit of 2000 yuan is earned, this is okay, but if the unit is replaced with "100 million", then the profit earned will be very low.

If Sen Xia was here, he would definitely think that in his previous life, he had heard the myth that those prophets used the stock market crash to make tens of billions of dollars.

"But if you make tens of billions of dollars, it's absolutely impossible. Alice explained to Mit, "First of all, the market maker who entered the market will not allow you to do this, and if you are a market maker yourself, it is very likely that you will face investigation and control from the government at this time, and even if both can be passed, it does not mean the end, because facing the profits earned does not mean that you will be able to earn a full amount of profits - the most serious situation is that the other company's company declares bankruptcy and you get nothing." ”

"For example, the 'hedging' transaction that is now being hyped because of Soros. Xue Nai is also popularizing science for Mate, "The so-called 'hedging transaction' refers to two transactions that are related to the market, in opposite directions, have the same amount, and are offset by profit and loss. In other words, there are sellers and buyers, if the quantity is small, if the quantity is large, no one will dare to touch such a transaction, and if it is really done, the other party may also go bankrupt directly and you will get nothing. ”

For example, if you buy a lot of gold at the same time in the gold market, you have to go long, and you also have to sell a lot of gold and sell short.

Theoretically, buying long and short a lot of gold requires the same amount to be regarded as a real hedging disk, otherwise the hedging function cannot be done if the size of the two sides is different.

If everyone can short sell, when the stock market crashes, everyone sells short together, wouldn't it be able to make another profit, at least to recover losses?

But in reality, that kind of thing is unlikely, and everyone rushes to sell short and ends up with nothing.

Soros has recently hyped up the concept of "hedge funds", but everyone is actually just watching the fun, and few people actually know what is really going on.

"Then what did Soros do?" Qianjia couldn't help but ask at this time.

"Well, Soros is facing the foreign exchange market, in short, he is facing the country. Before the outbreak of the financial crisis, Soros bought a large number of the currencies of the victim countries, and then took advantage of the changes in the victim countries to sell the currencies of the victim countries in one breath when the other party was vulnerable. Alice seems to know a lot about financial matters, "The foreign exchange market is a margin market, that is, $1 can be used as $10, that is, if Soros loses $1 because of selling the currency of the victim country, but uses short selling to earn $10, then his net profit is $8, and if it is a principal of $100 million, then it can be done several times." ”

"But not in a big eastern country. Yukino added.

"And if he dares to do that in our lighthouse country, he'll be jailed by the IRS the next day for tax evasion. Alice also added later.

"I understand, if it is a state entity, for the sake of national credit, then these foreign currencies must be converted, but Soros hit his head in a certain port, because they have enough foreign exchange, so it is difficult to establish short selling, right?"

"I think it should be more than just the foreign exchange ...... of a certain port," Qianjia felt that it should be the strength of the whole country......

"But that's only for national considerations, if the scope is limited, it is very likely that you make a profit of 10 billion on paper, and then the other company's company buys back the debt with 100 million, and if your principal is 1 billion, the net profit is only 10%. And if you don't agree with the other party's approach, but instead ask the other party to cash in, if the other party is upset and goes bankrupt, then you won't get anything. Alice touched a handful of cards, and then her eyes lit up, "Seven pairs, Huh!"

"I see. Mite nodded.

To put it simply, it's like a future financial storm on a certain world line.

Lehman Brothers went bankrupt at this time, and if a prophet knew about it and took the opportunity to make 10 billion on the other party, then this gentleman would first be restricted from leaving the country, and then face some trials and investigations.

If this person has a lot of hands and eyes, and he has not evaded taxes and then been put in jail by the IRS, then the Lehman people will come to him and ask for 100 million to buy back the debt, in other words, although this person has earned 10 billion, but in fact this person can only get 100 million, because Lehman Brothers does not have the ability to give this person 10 billion.

And if this brother does not agree, Lehman Brothers closes his eyes and goes bankrupt, then this brother will not be able to earn anything.

"Hey, Yukino, I found we could really talk. After finishing talking about finance, Alice looked up at Xue Nai, "You're about to graduate, are you interested in studying in our big lighthouse country?"

"Sorry, I don't have that idea right now. Xue Nai refused the other party without hesitation.

"yes, I think you'll agree. Alice shrugged.

"If my brother came to study here, I would definitely agree, but that's impossible. "Although Senxia can find time to come to the Lighthouse Country, it is still impossible to go to school here.

And if Mori Xia doesn't come, Yukino definitely won't come either.

"Then even if it's an exchange student, come here for two years, Ark University in California knows, this school is my family, and I'll cover you when the time comes. ”

After the other party finished speaking, he took out a business card from his chest and handed it to Yukino.

Yukino took the business card and looked at the text on it.

"...... Alice's Detective Agency?"

"Ahem......"

Alice's face turned red, and then she quickly put the business card back, and then after fumbling for a while, she took out another business card and handed it to Yukino.

Well, this time the text on it became the words "ARK" University.

But what's going on with that business card just now?

Yukino looked at Alice, who was a little shy, and then tilted her head: This Miss Alice...... Isn't it also a secondary disease?

Well, the business card just now was written in Japanese, and it was obviously not an ordinary business card, but some kind of prop or something.

And the English business card I am holding now should be a real business card.

"Our school places a lot of emphasis on science and engineering, but recently it has been strengthening the fields of finance and literature. Alice's words vaguely brought the little mistake just now.

"I see. Yukino looked at Alice, she thought for a moment, and then stuffed the business card into her chest like Alice.

“......”

Qianjia glanced at Yukino silently, and then at Alice over there.

"What's wrong?" Mitte's voice came.

Qianjia followed the voice and looked at Mite over there.

Finally, Qianjia glanced down at her chest.

"Uh...... I was hit with a super bad mental ......"

Qianjia holds his forehead with his hand.

"What's wrong with the senior?" Yukino also looked over.

"No, it's nothing, it's just that I feel like I still have confidence in my daily life, but now it seems to be a little under-looking, so it's just a little bit of a blow. ”

It's like a small dirt slope on the plain that it thought was a very high mountain until one day it saw Mount Everest.

Qianjia was a little embarrassed by her observation, and she caused 10,000 critical damage to herself.

"What are you talking about?" Lihua was watching TV, but after hearing Qianjia's discussion, Lihua also walked over.

"Huh?" Qian Jia followed the voice, and finally her gaze fell on Lihua's chest.

Then Qianjia breathed a sigh of relief, and even a smile appeared on her face.

"???" Lihua asked a question mark.

"They were talking about finance. Mite explained.

"Finance?" Lihua tilted her head, "I remember Sen Xiajun once said that if a country starts to shift from industry to finance, then the crisis will start to appear. ”

"Oh, Mr. Xia Sen will talk about these topics as well?" asked Alice, surprised.

"No, this matter was said when I was discussing with Sen Xiajun about building a factory in a large eastern country. Lihua said, "I remember discussing the cost with Mori Xiajun at that time, and then I didn't know why I talked about the Great Lighthouse Country......

And then it was almost around that time that I heard it.

Alice was about to continue to ask, when Alice's maid came over: "Master, the bath is ready." ”

Hearing the maid's words, Alice's face showed a smile, and she said, "Hey, guys, let's go take a bath first, don't look at this is a castle, but there is a very special Roman bath in it!"

"Roman baths?" Chika seemed interested.

"Ancient Rome seems to be a place where people like to bathe and bathe. "Lihua remembers that there seems to be a similar record in history textbooks?

"Oh, what's the difference between a Japanese bath and a Roman bath, I was trying to see it!" Mitt wanted to know.

Since everyone agrees, the next step is to go to the bath together.

However, Alice pulled Yukino to the back of the line at this time.

"Ahem, Miss Yukino, what happened to that business card just now......"

"Uh-huh, I understand. Xue Nai smiled, "Well, the second middle school or something, it's actually normal." ”

Well,In the Sakakino School Park where Snow is now studied,There's a middle school two.。 The other party works very hard in the second second, but his brother always seems to be able to make the other party "break the gong", which is quite interesting.

"Not really!" Alice blushed, "That's the real office!"

"Hey, hey, hey. Yukino smiled with a child's expression.

Secondary two or something, it's human nature.

Having said that, the word "middle two" created by my brother seems to be becoming popular now, and as far as I know, there seem to be a lot of people who use this word on the Internet now.

"I'm a real detective...... No, I just wanted to do something more interesting. ”

Hearing Alice's "quibble", Yukino nodded.

In this way, the descendants of the powerful family will have all kinds of pressure, and if it can be alleviated by just the second secondary school, this is actually a good thing.

"Ahem, I'm really the president!" Alice, who is fluent in Japanese, but unconvincing, "I'm alone here—but if you want to be my assistant, it's not impossible!"

It's so cute......

It's so funny with such a tsundere expression......

No, the other party doesn't seem to feel this way in front of his brother, right?

Yukino's "brother radar" tells himself that things don't seem to be simple.

But this did not prevent Yukino from holding the girl in front of her, who was as delicate as a doll, into her arms.

Well, Yukino is as tall as Mori Natsu, so Alice was smoothly taken into her arms......

"Hi Hi Hi ~ Cute Little Alice ~"

......

When I was writing the front, I suddenly remembered that I had read a book before, and I made 5000 billion yuan by using the mud bombing stock market crash......

Don't talk about water, those popular science are all done by me to check the information myself, and I hit it all with my hands, because it has something to do with Alice's background, hawkers, in fact, this is also a small easter egg, it doesn't matter if you know it or not~

Two in one, meow meow~
