Chapter 198: The Show Begins
The next day, the sun rose as usual, and when the traders walked into the trading room, they found that the manager's attitude and trading strategy had reversed 180 degrees.
Seeing that Sid was high-spirited, he didn't see yesterday's decadence at all, and he said loudly in front of everyone: "Starting today, we will change our strategy and resolutely go long!"
Sid's words exploded in an instant among the traders, and everyone was talking about it, and it was only a day later, and the investment strategy of the foreign manager in front of him had undergone earth-shaking changes.
"Long? Didn't you still resolutely short yesterday?"
"What's the inside story?"
"What if I blow up again?"
"Are we going to get fired?"
……
The content of Ding Le's secret conversation with the three of them last night was not circulated in the company, so everyone didn't know that yesterday's collective liquidation had been forgiven by the big boss.
The ancient Roman Serek the Younger once said: "For a ship that sails blindly, the wind in any direction is a headwind!"
Since Sid was convinced of Ding Le, the whole person seemed to be resurrected with full blood. Now he has a clear direction, and there is only one thought in his heart, and that is to perfectly execute every trading plan of the boss.
"Don't worry, there will be no more mistakes this time, the boss gave me some guidance last night!"
When Sid said this, everyone gladly accepted it. Ding Le's story has long been spread on Hong Kong Island, and the private placement issued by Black Panther has the highest yield in Hong Kong, and I even heard that investors are queuing up to subscribe.
The blind obedience of Hong Kong Island traders to Ding Le is far more pious than Sid, and since it is the big boss who comes out in person, there must be no problem.
"Sid's side, you still have to keep an eye on it!"
Ding Le agreed to give Sid a chance to be again, and at the same time gave Gao Renqiang a new task.
"Boss, don't worry, I've buried my eyeliner on his side, and his every move can't escape my sight!"
Gao Renqiang's words are quite similar to Silly Qiang's answer to his eldest brother Han Chen in the movie "Infernal Affairs". In the movie, Silly Qiang, as Han Chen's right-hand man, is absolutely loyal to his eldest brother.
"I don't want you to play Infernal Affairs in the company, but to really do the company's risk control system!"
Ding Le was so amused that he had to make his intentions clear, because the company culture on Hong Kong Island and the mainland is very different, and the thinking of employees is also very different.
The trader's liquidation incident also woke Ding Le up. Futures trading is a highly leveraged trading activity. In stock trading, three down limits will only lose up to 30% of the principal, while in futures trading, three up limits or three down limits may make investors lose all their principal.
According to a more than decade-long study by the Chicago Board of Trade, 95% of futures accounts close within six months. Compared to other capital markets and trading instruments, the probability of a massacre in the futures market is extremely common.
Ding Le makes requirements for employees, grasps the management of the company, and does not relax himself. Although he is not involved in trading, he invests as much time and energy in the market every day as a full-time researcher in the company.
The grand process of history rushes forward in hundreds of years and thousands of years, but for a small individual, twenty years is enough to make or change a person's destiny.
But when it comes to Ding Le, let alone twenty years, even ten years is a very long thing, and if he really wants to do it, one or two years is enough for him.
In addition to top traders like Sid, Black Panther also received offers from elites in the field of Wall Street investment and mergers and acquisitions, and they were sent to the United States by Ding Le as soon as they joined the company to collect information about Google.
Since Ding Le came up with the idea of buying Google China, his ambitions have swelled more and more. In his view, this is a thing that can affect the future and even rewrite the history of China's Internet development.
For him, there is nothing more meaningful than being personally involved in and contributing to the development of historical events.
Ever since the 300 yuan all-time high of China's ships has withdrawn, money has been just a number to him.
In June, CCTV harshly accused Google of having a large number of inappropriate information and vulgar links in China.
In Ding's view, this is just the beginning, just a fuse for Google's eventual exit from the Chinese market. Just as he was waiting for the follow-up fermentation of the incident, he saw the news on the Internet that Google and Microsoft were inseparable in the United States.
In July, Google launched the ChromeOS operating system in the U.S. market, which is simply the online version of Microsoft's Windows system.
Google's high profile provoked a backlash from Microsoft. Silicon Valley IT media commented that Google's ChromeOS was tantamount to dropping a bomb in Microsoft's backyard.
Some well-known media also listed the products of these two companies one by one, analyzed and compared, and saw how incompatible they were, and this scene was like the feeling of the arms race between the United States and the Soviet Union in the past.
Google vs. Microsoft, which may be unexpected good news for Weibo. In fact, not only Microsoft, but also Google is in constant friction with Apple, another major technology giant in the United States.
Since last year, with the development and promotion of Google's smartphone system Android, more and more interests of Apple's iPhone have been touched.
Seeing that Google was in trouble, Ding Le felt that it was time to speed up the pace, so he called Zhang Yiyi.
"Hurry up and send someone to the United States, I will also send experts to assist you in your work, Weibo's acquisition of Google can enter the substantive operation stage!"
Zhang Yi was overjoyed when he received a call from Ding Le, and he reported to Ding Le the latest situation in Google China. The IT circle in the imperial capital is not large, and the slightest wind and grass will be known all over the city.
"Recently, Google Chinese have been unstable, and there has even been gossip that Dr. Li, the president of Google China, is about to leave. ”
In order to promote the development of its business in China, in 2005, Google recruited Dr. Li from Microsoft Research China with a high salary and invited him to serve as Google's global vice president and president of Greater China.
Google's announcement came on the same day that Microsoft filed a lawsuit in Washington State District Court alleging that Google and former Microsoft Global Vice President Kai-Fu Lee breached the non-compete agreement.
During his time at Google China, Dr. Li frequently visited various universities and gave hundreds of lectures. In addition to his passion for speaking, he is also passionate about publishing books, which are basically one book a year, mostly inspirational books for young people. After several years of foreshadowing, he has become a life mentor for young people in China.
So Ding Le was not surprised by Zhang Yiyi's news.
"He's already paving the way for himself, and if he leaves, if he stays, it will be a challenge for you in the future. ”
Compared with the change of senior management, Ding Le still values the R&D team of nearly 300 people in Google China, which is the key to the acquisition of Google China.
