Chapter 660 swept the world

"Well, I woke up. How's it going?"

Hu Yang was still in the time period when he had just woken up, and in a trance, he only remembered Yu Hongbo's operation, and he wanted to ask for the result.

Yu Hongbo was not verbose, and directly told him that the position had been established, and 100,000 short single Dow futures contracts had been received.

"Alright, I'm just asking. Lao Yu, you go and get a good night's sleep, you don't have to stay up late every day for the past two months, just let them keep an eye on it. ”

Today, Yu Hongbo bought a Dow futures contract that will be delivered in three months, and Hu Yang estimates that the change has not been so fast.

Yu Hongbo answered, and then hung up the phone. However, he didn't think that he could relax, and he was afraid that the three months would have to be reversed.

It is impossible for Hu Yang to go to sleep at this time, so he just turns on the computer and looks at it casually.

At present, public opinion in Europe and the United States generally believes that there is no problem with the economic situation in North America. The slowdown in the third quarter was more due to temporary factors, and the upward trend will soon resume.

He casually flipped through a number of reports, and the general caliber of public opinion was similar.

I don't know if they are blindly optimistic or irresponsible, in short, a certain superpower is still that awesome superpower, and the myth of invincibility will always be shaped by the media and Hollywood blockbusters.

"Ah Yang, wash up and go to breakfast. ”

Hu Yang was extremely bored, and anonymously resumed some posts on the Internet. Just arrived at six o'clock, Tian Sichun pushed the door and walked in.

"Chunchun, you also got up so early? Did you make a noise at night?"

Hu Yang saw Tian Sichun with two dark circles under his eyes that were not very obvious, and he felt a little unhappy. I tossed up at 4 o'clock last night, and I guess she didn't sleep well.

"You still say that I'm tired of tossing and not sleeping well, do you really think my body is made of iron? Don't look at it, let's go. ”

Tian Sichun knew that Hu Yang woke up early because of something at work. But he always put so much pressure on himself, she felt distressed when she looked at it.

"Okay, let's have breakfast. ”

Hu Yang smiled and quickly closed the laptop. Tian Sichun's concern for him, he can understand, so he behaves very obediently.

For breakfast, there were nutritious porridge, toast, ham and fried eggs, etc., and Populus euphratica ate silently, and his thoughts drifted away unconsciously.

"Huh, Yang Yang, Chunchun, why did you get up so early today? Look at it, all of them don't look good, they can't stay up late, right?"

At half past six, Li Guixiang got up on time as usual, and then prepared to go out for exercise. When I went downstairs, I saw Hu Yang and Tian Sichun sitting in the restaurant.

It's a very strange thing, they don't usually get up so early, but now the sun is coming out of the west?

Looking at her son and daughter-in-law, who looked sleep-deprived, she asked a little worriedly.

"Mom, it's okay. I woke up at four o'clock last night because of work. As a result, the quarrel was pure and did not rest well, and it was enough to make up for sleep at noon.

You can also come for breakfast, and in the morning there are buns and snacks, and I will let them bring them to you. ”

Hu Yang smiled and explained to her mother, and she had to talk thoroughly, otherwise she would be worried, and she didn't know what she would think.

"Oh, it's okay! Why do you have to get up at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night? In the future, you still have to focus on your body, do you still need to work so hard now?

I'll skip breakfast and wait until I get back from my workout. Chunchun, you and Yang Yang continue, I'll go out first. ”

After Li Guixiang finished speaking, he went out.

Hu Yang's parents are very interesting, Li Guixiang is almost a "exercise fan", and it is uncomfortable not to go out for activities every morning.

And Hu Zhiguang doesn't like this, he will get up late, and when he gets up, he will play with the flowers and plants in front of the door, and he doesn't like to do any "exercise" with a group of old men and old ladies.

"Ah Yang, what Mom said makes sense, you have to listen to it. ”

Tian Sichun actually didn't know how to persuade Hu Yang, she knew best what kind of character her man had. However, Populus euphratica is still a filial person, and I hope he can listen to what his mother-in-law says.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

The family must have good intentions, and even if you can't do it, there is no need to argue with them.

When I came to the office in the morning, Xia Bing walked in before the chair was hot.

"Mr. Xia, weren't you still in Xiangjiang yesterday, when did you come back?"

Hu Yang saw that it was Xia Bing, which was a little strange. He casually pointed to the chair in front of the desk and motioned for Xia Bing to sit down and speak.

"I'll come straight to you early in the morning, so I don't have anything to report to you. Boss, you switched to the U.S. stock market this time and handed over the supervision and risk control work to us, and I feel that I have the obligation to remind you. ”

Xia Bing's face was not good-looking, and she didn't sleep for a few hours last night.

Hu Yang instructed Yu Hongbo to buy the Dow futures contract (short order), but did not greet her in advance, and she only found out about it in the middle of the night.

Previously, Hu Yang sold 40 million shares of Yamason, bought put options, and even bought short Dow ETF, Xia Bing felt that it was normal. In addition to strengthening the supervision in the operation process, she also strengthened the risk control.

For example, Xia Bing set a stop loss level for shorting the Dow ETF. When there is only half of the total value of the fund, that is, $1.5 billion remaining, she will advise Hu Yang to stop the loss.

However, Dow futures are different. It seems that the first investment is not much, but it is a margin, and it is operated with extremely high leverage.

A small fluctuation, such as a 100-point reverse movement of the Dow, will wipe out the $50 million margin.

Of course, on the premise of sufficient funds, it is possible to pay the margin in time without being liquidated. The problem is that this is a bottomless pit, and the Dow Jones will fluctuate 1,000 points in the opposite direction, and 500 million dollars will be gone.

And so on....... The most critical point is that the risk is uncontrollable, and when will it come to an end?

"So, boss, be sure to set a stop-loss line for us. You have the final say on how much, but you can't just let the losses expand. ”

Xia Bing is right, the most important thing in all financial games is not how much money can be made, but whether there is a strong man's determination to break his wrist in case of a problem.

Hu Yang nodded and did not speak immediately.

Xia Bing's worries were not unfounded, but he couldn't convince her with the rhetoric of the subprime mortgage crisis.

Populus euphratica relied on the insights in his mind to deduce that the financial crisis in North America was coming. But he can't come up with hard evidence, and the data he can see can't directly draw the conclusions he wants.

"Mr. Xia, in this way, the stop loss point is set at the node of 20% of the Dow's reverse fluctuation, that is to say, our maximum loss bottom line is $1.4 billion. ”

Hu Yang asked Yu Hongbo to open a short order of 100,000 hands at 14,000 points of the Dow, and the reverse fluctuation is a rise of 20%, and at 2,800 points, the loss of the Dow futures contract in Hu Yang's hand is as high as 1.4 billion US dollars.

Xia Bing calculated in his heart for a while, and then said:

"Boss, if we are wrong, the company will lose $3.13 billion in a few months. Let's hope we get lucky.

Then I'll go first, and I'll have to rush back to Xiangjiang in the afternoon. You can rest assured that I will keep a close eye on the market and will not hesitate to do so once the stop loss line is reached. ”

"Okay, let's decide for now, you hurry home and sleep for a while. ”

Hu Yang smiled and personally sent Xia Bing to the elevator.

To be honest, Xia Bing's serious and responsible attitude made him feel very gratified. But at the same time, it also brought him a lot of pressure. It's not a matter of making money and losing money, but it suddenly occurred to him that the invincible image he had worked so hard to build couldn't collapse.

Time is leaping forward in many people's panic but expectation.

Ten days later, late one night, Hu Yang was woken up by a phone call.

"Boss, there is news from North America that the largest local subprime mortgage company, New Century Finance, has filed for bankruptcy, resulting in huge losses for many banks and investment funds in Europe and the United States. After the news, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by more than 500 points and is now at 13,487.23. ”

The call came from Yu Hongbo, and today the North American stock market has experienced a violent shock due to the change in the news surface.

He felt that he should inform Hu Yang as soon as possible, whether the other party was sleeping or not.

"Old Yu, it seems that there is something wrong with the finance in North America. As it turns out, we're right to look bearish, so let's continue to hope for victory. ”

At this time, Hu Yang put on a dress and came to the outside of the bedroom. He was afraid of waking Tian Sichun, and when he spoke, his voice was very low.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Yang was about to go back to sleep when the phone rang again.

This time it was Xia Bing who called......

Xia Bing was especially happy at this time, Hu Yang has always been an invincible god of war in her mind. But this time, Populus Hu changed her previous style, and her investment seemed very aggressive, which made her very worried, for fear that Populus Hu would leave Maicheng.

The news tonight finally made her breathe a little relieved. The explosion of the first subprime mortgage company actually means that there is a big problem in the North American economy, especially in the financial industry, and the crisis has come.

With this judgment, it also means that the worst-case scenario that Xia Bing was worried about before will not appear. What's the matter, the company won't lose $3 billion this time.

3 billion US dollars, or more than 20 billion RMB, is not a small amount.

"Mr. Xia, didn't you tell you not to stay up late? From tomorrow, let your subordinates keep an eye on you, and you are not allowed to go into battle in person. ”

Hu Yang was worried about Xia Bing's body and gave her a death order.

Because Xia Bing is different from Yu Hongbo, she is only responsible for supervision and risk control, so there is no need to stay up late every day to stare at it.

"Okay, I got it. Boss, go back to sleep, don't disturb your dreams. ”

Xia Bing hurriedly hung up the phone, don't look at her usual casual behavior in front of Hu Yang, but once Hu Yang gets angry, she is still quite flustered.

To be honest, Xia Bing couldn't quite understand why Populus Hu was so risky. Again, with Populus euphratica's current net worth and status, there is no need to participate in this risky game.

What if you win? Billions of dollars in profits are a lot, right? But this money does not determine the future of the Huijia system.

If it loses, it will not only hit the internal morale, but more importantly, it will greatly reduce the confidence of the domestic and international markets in Huijia.

But Hu Yang doesn't think so, on the contrary, North America's repeated suppression of Huijia enterprises has hurt the market's trust in Huijia to varying degrees.

This downward trend in confidence may not be visible in the short term, but in the long term, the damage will be huge.

However, Huijia cannot challenge a superpower, and the two sides are not an order of magnitude at all. However, the sudden subprime mortgage crisis and financial turmoil in North America gave Populus euphratica a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn around.

He wants to once again unite people's hearts and the confidence of the market by shorting U.S. stocks and shorting the Dow.

"Ah Yang, why are you sitting here in a daze? You are wearing so little, be careful of catching a cold. ”

Tian Sichun walked out of the inner room and felt a little cold in the room. She quickly turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and then urged Hu Yang to go back to sleep quickly.

"Oh, I'm going to sleep. Chunchun, the matter in North America is almost over, and I don't have to get up in the middle of the night anymore. ”

Tian Sichun knew that Populus euphratica had invested in the stock market in North America, although he didn't know the details, but he also understood that Populus euphratica couldn't sleep well during this time, just for the sake of North America.

Now that it was coming to an end, she was happy.

The following month, the subprime mortgage crisis in North America surfaced. Many of the world's banks, including HSBC and BNP Paribas, have almost all been caught up in the crisis.

At the same time, more and more enterprises and funds have collapsed, and the "two houses" are on the verge of bankruptcy and have been taken over, and Lehman Bank has exploded......

Although Europe and the United States have introduced a number of economic rescue plans, the financial crisis that has swept the world is like a wild horse that cannot be dragged back.

Fear is remembered, and when there is an atmosphere of pessimism and fear in the market, it is not something that can be changed in the short term.

As a result, the stock market in North America fell by ......

Stocks in Europe fell by ......

Stock markets all over the world have fallen.

"Boss, the Dow has now fallen below 10,000 points, and as of yesterday's close, the Dow closed at 9,683.07 points. Yamason's stock price has fallen to $59, and put options have risen to $39 a piece. ”

Yu Hongbo has been like a chicken blood recently, watching the market until the early hours of the morning at night, and at noon he specially rushed back to the deep sea to report to Populus Hu in person.

In his own words, this is called "people are in good spirits when they are happy", what are you afraid of if you sleep less?

"It seems that we are not far from victory!"

At noon these days, Hu Yang almost always dragged Yu Hongbo to eat in the restaurant first, and then came down to sit in the tea room to drink tea.

"Old Yu, don't be in a hurry, stabilize your strength. The outbreak of such a large financial crisis in North America cannot be controlled in the short term.

Since we are not wrong in the direction, let's continue to expand the results, and wait for the US stock index to fall again, and then we will discuss the retreat. ”

Hu Yang knew that this time it was done, as long as it was still at this point, the Dow Jones Industrial Average would definitely fall to more than 6,000 points before it was over.

Now the Dow has just fallen below 10,000 points, and there is still a lot of room for profit.
