Chapter 544: A Million-Dollar Gamble
Behind the Yongli Group is the national military, and the purpose of establishing the Yongli Group is to introduce some advanced weapons to the country.
The current country does not have any advanced weapons, there are only a few hundred old-fashioned models, and the best aircraft are the early MiG models introduced from the Soviet Union more than 10 years ago.
So now the country is also negotiating with some Western countries, hoping to get some advanced weapons, and Western countries have a lot of doubts about China, when it comes to arms imports will be very cautious, even if a country wants to buy weapons to China, but also try not to let other countries know, these are secrets, it needs some special departments to communicate and negotiate, and Yongli Group is responsible for this function.
In fact, even if it is these things, ordinary people don't know, they were all told to Liu Lang by Mu Xiaohu, as for how much Mu Xiaohu can know, it's ashamed to say it, he only knows that Yongli has someone who is responsible for overseas liaison and communication, as for who it is, he doesn't know.
And now, the person standing in front of Liu Lang is the mysterious vice president.
"James?, this name is very common! But it is normal, people like Brother Du must keep a low profile......... Okay, I don't care about other things, Brother Du came to me this time about investment?"
Liu Lang doesn't like to deal with the military, it's not that he hates the other party, it's because the military is too "ruthless", Liu Lang also understands them, soldiers are state machines, their only purpose is for the interests of the country, and in the face of national interests, what are personal interests?
This is true for all countries, in the previous life, Liu Lang would always see some war blockbusters in the United States, saying that a group of soldiers went to perform important tasks, and met refugees fleeing on the way, and as a result, these people took the initiative to help the refugees, but delayed their tasks, in fact, this is all nonsense, if it is in reality, Liu Lang believes that not to mention taking the initiative to save them, if these people will affect the mission, I am afraid that they will not even be able to save their lives, if those people are looking forward for the sake of civilians, then the United States will not always provoke wars everywhere.
For those high-ranking military officials of the country, Liu Lang only respects them, and will never take the initiative to approach them, because these people have few favors in the eyes of ordinary people.
"That's right, I'm here to make American money with Liu Lang and you, but it's not two million, only 500,000 US dollars!"
The other party replied.
"Half a million dollars, how is it so much less?"
At the beginning, Wang Zhendong said that there were 2 million US dollars in the account of Yongli Group, but now it has suddenly become 500,000, it seems that the military is a little worried about himself!
However, Liu Lang didn't care, Yongli Group's money needs to be mobilized by the military's top brass, Wang Zhendong believes that he doesn't mean that those old people also believe that it is not easy to come up with 500,000 US dollars for themselves to "play", I am afraid that many military bigwigs secretly feel that the 500,000 US dollars may be wasted.
"This is a credit card, there are 500,000 dollars on it, you can use these funds from now on, I will go to the New York Stock Exchange at nine o'clock tomorrow morning and transfer the money to you, if you make money, you can earn this money into this account!"
The other party handed Liu Lang a Citibank credit card.
"Alright, my mission is done today, let's see you tomorrow!"
After the other party finished speaking, he nodded to Sun Hu and Sun Mingren and opened the door and left.
"Interesting, this guy looks like a Chinese, and he can become the vice president of the Yongli Group, I'm afraid his background is no less than Moran, and he should be an important chess piece of the military in the United States.........!"
But these things have nothing to do with Liu Lang, 500,000 is 500,000, anyway, you will regret it in a few days!
The next day, the four of them came to the exchange again, and ten minutes later, the transaction was completed, and $500,000 in cash was transferred to the account of the Shengtang Company, and the other party just smiled and disappeared from the door.
"This guy is very mysterious!"
In the blink of an eye, it was Friday, June 14, and the Dow Jones index fell by more than 50 points just after the morning opened, and those traders were shouting loudly with their phones, and the whole exchange could not be heard at all, and there was a lot of noise everywhere.
Louis Wang looked at the front of the display screen, the Dow Jones index is now more than 2,210 points, if Liu Lang's prediction is accurate, the market will reach 2,300 points before today's closure, if so, will the prediction of another stock market crash come true?
Louis Wang felt that his heart was beating faster, not because he was worried about the stock market crash, but because Liu Lang had three million dollars in his hands, and these funds would be used to gamble on a seemingly impossible gamble, three million dollars!
"Brother Wang, Brother Sun, I'll leave the matter to the two of you!"
Liu Lang finally gave the order.
The two men nodded and walked to an office space.
Liu Lang and Sun Hu sat down at a Starbucks café next to the exchange, waiting leisurely for a cup of coffee.
About an hour later, the two of them walked out, and Sun Mingren, who had always been steady, had excitement on his face.
"Mr. Liu, it's done, the announcement was officially released ten minutes ago!"
Three million US dollars were thrown on the "gambling table", in the eyes of others, this is purely a big gamble, even if Sun Mingren, who believes in Liu Lang 100%, he only firmly believes that the stock market crash that Liu Lang said will happen, but to say that the index will fall by 500 points in one day, he also feels that there is little hope of success.
As for Louis Wang, his head was a little confused when he saw the announcement on the big screen.
"How's it going?"
Of course, Liu Lang will not worry that this money will be wasted, unless this world is not his previous world, which is impossible.
"Hehe, the effect is not bad, just after the announcement was issued, a company injected one million funds, I believe that now there will be almost more companies want to take advantage of this!"
This kind of highly leveraged futures stock index is a gamble that you are willing to make, 3 million US dollars at 30 times the odds betting that the Dow Jones index will fall by 500 points the day after tomorrow, and if you lose 3 million US dollars, you will get 90 million US dollars, which is really a shocking gamble.
But $90 million is not something that everyone can take, it can only be a number of companies entering the market together, for example, if a company comes up with a million dollars, once it wins, it will receive more than $33,000 in income.
The rate of return is only about 3.33 percent, which does not seem like much, but it is expensive in a short time, and there is a rate of return of more than 3.3 percent in one day, which is already very attractive to investors, and in their opinion, there is no possibility of losing this gamble! Who will not make money 100 percent?
"Let's go, let's see!"
Liu Lang returned to the stock exchange with a few people, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw many people looking up at a huge screen hanging from the roof, which displayed news about futures, and the most prominent position was a "big gamble" of three million US dollars just released.
