Chapter 223: Pack Up!
Boss Lei looked out the window and stood there like a stake for only ten minutes. On the wall hangs a big word "luck", which represents the trend of his life.
Hong Kong people are superstitious!
Feng Shui is Chinese traditional culture, Chinese on both sides of the strait have faith in Feng Shui, Hong Kong, which has experienced a hundred years of colonial rule, is full of Western culture and color, but Hong Kong people are particularly superstitious about traditional Chinese Feng Shui numerology culture, and it can even be said that they are intoxicated.
Most Hong Kong people believe that Hong Kong's economic prosperity is due to Hong Kong's good feng shui: Victoria Harbour is calm and has mountains on both sides, like a large cornucopia from which Hong Kong's wealth comes from.
For Hong Kong people, Feng Shui is neither superstition nor science, but a commercial culture, and this culture has penetrated into people's bones and has become an indispensable element in life.
Whether it is rich or poor, class position, whether it is the opening of a company, the purchase of a house, the decoration of a house, or the office, daily life, interior furnishings, etc., you must ask a feng shui master to look at feng shui, and rely on the advice of a feng shui master. In the 70s and 80s, after the stock market and futures of Hong Kong Co., Ltd., this kind of obviously risky investment behavior, there are also people who are superstitious about feng shui choices!
Even CLSA, a well-known foreign institution in Hong Kong, has released the "Feng Shui Index" every year since 1990, predicting the performance of Hong Kong's stock market and property market at the beginning of each year. (Fortune-telling with a scientific attitude, well, hooligans understand culture, knowledge, and packaging, and the gods can't stop it.) )
Not only ordinary people believe in Feng Shui, but also the wealthy people in Hong Kong are very happy about it. They are equipped with their own royal feng shui masters, and they regularly invite feng shui masters to come to their homes every month, from office furnishings and home furnishings to economic and trade activities, and building buildings from the ground.
After the death of the richest woman in Asia, who was known as Xiao Tiantian, the first person to jump out and claim that she had the right to continue the huge amount of property she left behind was the royal feng shui master before her death, which somewhat reflected the popularity of the feng shui master.
Boss Lui is a traditional Hong Kong man, although he has demonstrated his shrewdness in many things. But in terms of fortune and feng shui, as well as superstition, it is also very stubborn.
Long before futures investment, after all, it was a large investment of hundreds of millions, and he also asked a feng shui master. It is said that there will be twists and turns in the middle, but in the end, you will get the help of nobles and meet and turn auspicious. In fact, this is the same as not saying it, which one of the stocks and futures has no twists and turns?
And if you make a lot of money all the way, it will naturally be said to be a lucky star. Fate turned!
And if you are trapped, you can find someone to borrow money and carry it back to your capital, and it can also be said that you have bumped into a nobleman. Or listen to someone's advice, stop the loss in time, and lose a lot of money, which can also be understood as bumping into a nobleman.
In short, the feng shui master said this from top to bottom, and it was all right inside and out. What kind of faith is spiritual, and if you don't believe it, it doesn't work, purely depends on whether you are willing to believe it or not, and how much IQ tax you are willing to pay.
To be honest, Lao Lei's current tangled situation is also related to the feng shui master.
When I was young, it is said that after reading a feng shui master, I realized that before the age of 60, I would go to the next level and even become the richest man in Hong Kong. What a smart person, smart for a lifetime, confused for a while. Jing Ran really believes it!
He calculated his age and felt that he would not be able to become the richest man in Hong Kong before he retired. After researching it, I hit the idea of futures and options, and it is the craziest and most leveraged one.
He invested in a trading strategy that sells options and found it to be very profitable.
At the beginning, it was very smooth, and I even had a feeling that as long as I continued to do it, he would soon be the richest man in Hong Kong. But as the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?
In the end, the failure lies in an arrogant operation, and the operation that makes him fail is the operation strategy that made him rich, but the direction is reversed.
Options trading, two options, four directions. But the risks of buying and selling options are very different.
When you buy a call option, you buy the right to buy the security at a certain price in the future, but you first pay a premium, but the premium is a small percentage of the future purchase cost.
For example, if the current price of a stock is 100 yuan, and an investor buys a call option with a price of 110 yuan, the premium is 5 yuan. When the price rises to $120, investors can exercise the option to buy the stock at $110 and sell it at $120. But if the stock falls to 90, the investor can not exercise the option, and the loss is only 5 yuan.
It's the same thing with buying a put option, but in the opposite direction. However, the trader who sells the option is on the opposite side of the above transaction.
The seller of the option gets the premium of the buyer, but in effect they are betting that the opponent will not exercise the option.
Derivatives trading has always been a nightmare for many traders. Most of the famous devil traders, including the "Londonhale" incident a few years ago, are because of mistakes made in derivatives trading. And financial derivatives were the fuse of the 2008 financial crisis!
However, the huge leverage contained in derivatives trading has attracted countless people to flock to it, and everyone hopes to become famous like Soros. However, the reality is that almost all of us are on a rollercoaster ride of life.
The story of the fall of the Long-Term Capital Management (LCTM) is well known, bringing together the world's best economists and financial talent to create a brilliant three-year performance, only to collapse in the fourth year, but there are always posterity who have not learned their lessons.
The trigger for Boss Lei's accident this time was the sudden halfway collapse of the Hong Kong stock market stock index.

Time, now is not Lao Lei's helper.
As long as there is money to help, time will become a partner again. Sometimes this month is hell, and next month it can be heaven. A sudden phone call came, and after Boss Lei answered, cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
As soon as he hung up the phone, he turned to look at He Zilong, and said cautiously: "Mr. He, I agreed to your request." Let's go to the notary public now......"
Hearing Lao Lei's answer, He Zilong, who was originally sitting on the sofa and crossed Erlang's legs, was not ambiguous, and stood up and said yes.
Then, he and Boss Lei directly sat in the same car, talked about the details of the contract in the car, went straight to the notary office, and then went to the bank.
As soon as they left, Huang Baiming was still in the office in Xinyi City, and then asked another person: "You said that the request made by the young second generation just now obviously took a big advantage. What kind of phone call did Mr. Lei answer, and why did Mr. Lei's attitude change all of a sudden?"
The other person touched his chin, thought about it and replied: "It must be that there is another change on the futures side, and there is no time waiting for anyone, Boss Lei can only agree, let's check it out." ”
