At noon, Mrs. Yu cooked herself, she knew Li He's taste, it was completely spicy, so it was all hot peppers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yu Dehua was spicy and drank water, and his wife couldn't eat two mouthfuls of rice with his daughter.

Li He said, "There's no need to take care of my taste. ”

Mrs. Yu said, "You forget, I also like spicy food, and I have accommodated them all day, and today I am also borrowing your light to accommodate myself." You're welcome. Besides, they usually eat like that, and they are very squeamish. ”

Yu Dehua had a limited amount of wine and didn't dare to climb Li He to drink, and his son Yu Bo was a little eager to try it and raised his glass frequently.

In front of the half-grown children, Li He was not martial, and Li He was not interested in drinking, but he drank a little and picked up two bowls of rice.

He said goodbye from Yu's house, Yu Dehua asked the driver to send it, and as soon as the car came out of the door, he found that Tang Jiajia's car was still on the side of the road, and he asked the driver to stop.

He got out of the car and knocked on Tang Jiajia's car window and asked, "Why are you still here?"

Tang Jiajia was climbing the steering wheel to sleep, and was very happy to see that it was Li He, but when he saw the car behind Li He, he said disappointedly, "Do you have a car to deliver? Then you go first, and I will follow behind." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll take your car. Li He turned around and said to Dehua's driver, "You don't have to send it, go back." ”

The driver was embarrassed and said, "But what does Mr. Yu mean..."

"Okay, just say what I said. Li He cut off the driver's words, got into Tang Jiajia's car, and said to her, "Let's go." Carry something through to the end. ”

"Yes. Tang Jiajia started the car quickly.

"You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"

"I'm not hungry. ”

Li He said, "I'll treat you to lunch." ”

"No, no, my family is a noodle restaurant, where do you need to go to another restaurant. Tang Jiajia was unimpressed by Li He's proposal.

When he arrived at the door of the hotel, Li He gave him 200 Hong Kong dollars, "Thank you." ”

Tang Jiajia took out the change in her pocket, "Mr. Li, wait a minute, I'll look for your change." ”

"No, please eat ice cream for the excess. "It's not much, this round trip is calculated according to the price of a taxi, and it is not cheap to take a taxi.

"Thank you, Mr. Lee. Tang Jiajia shouted happily at Li He's back.

The next day, only Huang Bingxin and Shen Daoru came, and they bought a lot of put options while shorting stocks, and Li He looked at each stock carefully.

His memory is limited, and maybe he can't make money on some stocks, so he can only comfort himself that he can accept them as long as he doesn't lose money overall.

On the morning of Sunday, October 18, Treasury Minister Beck announced on an American television program: "If the Federal Republic of Germany does not lower interest rates, the United States will consider allowing the dollar to continue to fall". This is obviously bad news, and the impact is global, first seen in the Hong Kong stock market.

On October 19, the Hong Kong stock market opened before the U.S. stock market, and the Hang Seng Index plummeted by -11% on that day!

Shen Daoru and Huang Bingxin looked at Li He with a little strange eyes!

Huang Bingxin sat down on the ground, "Mr. Li, what you said is true, Hong Kong stocks are already like this! Could it really be the same for US stocks?"

Li He was also very depressed in his heart, and slowly took out a cigarette, and after the crisp sound of the lighter, he spat out the smoke ring heavily, "Whether it's Hong Kong or the United States, it's just the beginning." ”

Huang Bingxin said, "Then Mr. Li, why do we go far and don't directly short Hong Kong stocks?"

Li He said, "I predict that the Hong Kong government will directly close the market. Besides, if you want to continue to mix in Hong Kong, don't offend the Hong Kong government. ”

In 1987, when the world stock market crash occurred, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced an unprecedented four-day suspension of trading, becoming the only stock market to suspend trading in the stock market crash.

"Stop the market, Mr. Li, this joke is too big, right?" Huang Bingxin was also shocked when he heard it, if the market was really closed, I don't know how many people would jump from the tall buildings!

On the way here, he had already heard rumors of suicide.

Tens of millions of dollars have become worthless, and no one can accept it!

There is a line in "The Mermaid": "I have never seen any winds and waves in Liu, the stock market crash in 87, the financial turmoil in 97, and SARS in 02." I've survived, I'm awesome!"

People who can withstand the financial storm are really good!

Shen Daoru's phone rang, and he listened to a few words, and the expression on his face changed back and forth.

hung up the phone and said to Li He, "Mr. Li, people from Goldman Sachs want to meet with you." ”

"The Goldman Sachs surnamed Qi is gone. "Li He has already blacklisted this person.

Shen Daoru shook his head, "It's their senior general manager." ”

Huang Bingxin said, "Mr. Li, their eyes are red, they just want a piece of the pie." They are also really big investment banks in their own right. ”

Li He said, "Since they are asking for us, let them come." ”

He now has this confidence, and he can wake up with a smile when he thinks about it.

Shen Daoru knew that Li He also had the capital to ask Goldman Sachs to come over, and at this time it had nothing to do with the size of the company, but to see who had the advantage.

Goldman Sachs people came quickly, a group of five or six people, led by a woman, "Hello, Mr. Li, Zhang Dongyun."

"Sit on the bed. "The hotel room is not very big, and it is a bit crowded with seven or eight people.

Zhang Dongyun looked around, "Mr. Li, he is quite a diligent and thrifty person." ”

Li He said disapprerovingly, "As long as you can live in people, waste is the most shameful." ”

"Today's performance of the Hang Seng Index surprised everyone, and Mr. Li continues to be sure that the US stock market will do the same?"

Li He said, "If you weren't sure, you wouldn't come to me." ”

"Just yesterday, the U.S. Treasury Secretary announced that the dollar may actively depreciate, coupled with the impact of bad news such as the cancellation of tax incentives for mergers and acquisitions of listed companies, rumors of the escalation of the Gulf War, and the impact of the increase in the federal funds rate from March to September, the U.S. stock market began to adjust, and the S&P 500 index fell one after another for three consecutive trading days from October 14 to October 16, with a cumulative decline of 10.1%. Today, the stock markets in Hong Kong, Europe and other places have plummeted one after another, so there is no reason why US stocks should not fall in such a vicious circle. Mr. Li, we at Goldman Sachs would like to cooperate with you. Zhang Dongyun cut to the topic at once, there was no nonsense.

"How do you cooperate? As you know, my layout is complete. ”

"Mr. Li, we will pay for it, and you will make a pre-judgment plan. Before, whether you were doing gold or the Japanese index, your judgment was very accurate. Including this time, we have no reason not to trust your judgment. We're willing to pay $2 billion, and you'll do it. ”

"It's too late to lay it out, right?"

Zhang Dongyun said with a smile, "We have the best traders, as well as the best computer equipment and high-frequency traders. You don't need to worry about this. ”

Time is money, a constant truth on Wall Street.

High-frequency trading is computerized trading that seeks to profit from extremely short-lived market changes that people cannot take advantage of. For example, when an investor wants to buy a certain stock, he enters a buy order, and this instruction is transmitted to a stock exchange in the United States. Almost at the same time, a high-frequency trader will be able to take this order and buy the stock before the individual investor does. A few milliseconds later, the high-frequency trader then sells the stock to individual investors at a markup, thereby earning the spread.

Of course, at this time, it is not necessarily so advanced, at most, it is to use Bloomberg's real-time market data computer system to be one step faster, and the trading orders are a few seconds faster than others, but the difference between these seconds is big.

"It's not an advantage. Li He remembered that after the U.S. stock market opened, because of the huge trading volume, the computer program of the exchange went down, and a large number of trading orders could not be executed, so Goldman Sachs' equipment advantages may not be able to be brought into play. Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't enter the market, Paul Dordor Jean, who became famous in the 1987 financial crisis and made a lot of money, made up for it before the stock market closed on October 19, and it depends on the timing.

A fat man next to Zhang Dongyun said, "Mr. Li, if this is not an advantage, then what is an advantage?"

"What's in it for me?" Li He didn't answer the question, he didn't want to dwell on this topic, "Time waits for no one, the U.S. stock market is about to open." ”

Zhang Dongyun said, "Mr. Li, be quick to talk, we can divide you into one." And you are exempt from transaction fees with us. ”

"Thirty percent, and exempt me from all transaction fees. I don't want much. ”

Zhang Dongyun's face changed, "Mr. Li, can you guarantee that we will succeed? What if there is a loss here?"

"You asked me to cooperate. Li He still wants to sell the things in his head for a good price.

A person next to him went out to make a phone call, and when he came back, he whispered a few words to Zhang Dongyun.

Zhang Dongyun said with a smile, "Mr. Li's maximum is only 20%, and I can't explain it to the board of directors if I have more." ”

"Okay. Li He agreed, something is better than nothing.

After signing an agreement, Li He wrote a note, "Follow this operation." ”

Zhang Dongyun took a look, a lot of things were densely written on the note, and there was even an accurate time node, but he still asked some questions, "Within one hour of opening, all empty orders will be released?"

"Yes, it's too late, but I don't have a pick-up man. Li He explained with a smile, "The bears who held short orders on Friday made a profit. So I expect that after the Dow opens, there will be no buying orders and no dealings for a long time. Don't worry, at this time, with the advantages of your equipment, wait slowly and there will always be a deal. ”

"Short SP500 Index futures before opening and after closing?"

"Yes, if the funds react quickly, arbitrage the entry period, and then hold the position until the settlement date, you can get huge profits in a short time, which is a godsend.

Goldman Sachs people come and go fast.

Huang Bingxin paced back and forth in Li He's room, Shen Dao was smoking cigarette after cigarette, Li He was dizzy when he saw it, and said angrily, "You two should go too." ”

The two of them left happily.

Li He opened the window and dispersed the smoke in the scattered room.
