Chapter 465: Big Red and Purple

Liu Ruoyi in 2002 is undoubtedly the hottest star artist in the Chinese-speaking circle. With Liu Ruoyi's popularity in Hollywood and the Chinese-speaking circle, it has reached the point where even the Spring Festival Gala program team does not dare to throw it away!

is not only Liu Ruoyi herself is the overlord of the Spring Festival Gala for three consecutive years, but also the core candidate for music programs, and now among the artists under the Aurora Department, Sister Ying is an evergreen in the Spring Festival Gala, but the T2 group has achieved two consecutive companies.

What surprised the outside world even more was that Han Hong and Liu Kun both got a chance to participate in Dalian singing.

There are so many players under one company, it makes people criticize whether this is the Spring Festival Gala or the annual meeting of the Aurora system!

This year's Spring Festival Gala, Liu Ruoyi did not launch her new song, but chose to sing a song written by a new artist who joined the company with Sister Ying.

Legends!

This is a legendary song, the original original singer didn't sing it popular back then, and after seven or eight years, Sister Fei became popular in one fell swoop in the Spring Festival Gala!

Even the original original song is also popular!

Liu Ruoyi saw this song and this young man who sang the original song by chance, of course, now he is still the new talent of Aurora and has not released a record.

Liu Ruoyi chose his song as the first public performance of the Spring Festival Gala, which is both a loss and a huge opportunity for him!

There is no chance to debut, but once Liu Ruoyi and Sister Ying sing this song to popularity, this newcomer will immediately have a huge exposure, which will be a very big bonus for the next album to be launched!

Sure enough, "Legend" was an instant hit.

Immediately afterwards, the big movie "Meteor Garden" was released for the New Year, and it was a great success again, a low-cost film, with a total box office of more than 120 million yuan in a month!

It simply surprised insiders in the entertainment industry.

However, this is Liu Ruoyi's foresight, idol films have a special significance in this era, coupled with the die-hard fans left by the "Meteor Garden" TV series, and the excitement starring Liu Ruoyi, mainland F4 has also been recognized by most people.

Li Shaohong does have a set of picture processing, coupled with Liu Ruoyi's deliberate request to do it beautifully, and she also used a filter for this purpose, the picture of the "Meteor Garden" movie stands out in the current movie, and it is simply amazing in the fan base.

With such a performance, the big movie "Meteor Garden II" was developed in the company without hesitation.

Liu Ruoyi doesn't have Zhang Laomou's artistic cleanliness, the film company still speaks by the box office, and movies that can make money are good products.

Immediately after the Lunar New Year, there was a military operation launched by Xiaobu's classmates, and in the case of the long-term indecision of the United Nations General Assembly, Xiaobu decided to directly bypass the United Nations and go it alone!

However, when the war that Liu Ruoyi expected came, the market thought that oil would skyrocket in the short term and that the supply would be tight for a long time, although the bullish sentiment was particularly high, and Liu Ruoyi retreated at this time.

The long positions she had worked so hard to build up began to close as oil futures soared.

The military "brick family" needs a protracted war in their mouths, and only Liu Ruoyi knows that in fact, the main battle will only last for more than a month before it ends!

This is an unprecedented quick battle, so that the traditional military thinking has no place to survive under the three-dimensional attack of modernization!

Nearly a million armies will collapse and die out at an unprecedented rate.

Therefore, as soon as the war began, Liu Ruoyi resolutely ordered to begin large-scale and orderly liquidation of long positions.

The tens of billions of dollars of oil futures established by the three oil futures funds were rapidly reduced under Liu Ruoyi's forced orders, and Tony Tsai did not understand the course of the war as accurately as Liu Ruoyi.

However, under Liu Ruoyi's strategic reduction order, Tony Tsai did a quiet job of reducing his holdings, closing these long positions at a relatively high level at a rate ranging from billions of dollars per day.

In the end, before the U.S. military solved the Iraqi army, Liu Ruoyi's cornerstone investment oil futures were basically cleared, and began to return long and short, and began to establish some short positions.

Of course, most of the funds are now in the form of cash in the account, waiting for the next round of market clarity, and after closing long positions at a price of up to $40, Liu Ruoyi only spent a small amount of money to secure a backhand to open a medium- to long-term short position of more than $10 billion near the $40 level.

The world will be amazed by how quickly the war is progressing, and then it will be a period of time for oil prices to return, and according to the trend of the candlestick, there is now a serious volume-price divergence.

Even Tony Chua, who could not see the end of the war, began to be technically bearish, and of course there were many traders who thought the same way, and after Cornerstone Investment's funds established more than $10 billion in short positions, the market became cautious and long-short trading became extremely inactive.

As soon as Uncle Sam announced that the strategic reserve of oil would fill the gap in oil production during the war, the rally in oil futures suddenly became silent.

The main force of long and short has stopped for a while, and the trading volume has become more scarce, if Liu Ruoyi's long position has not been resolutely closed before, it will be a little too late at this time.

By the end of March, the war was clear, almost one-sided, and the market began to fall sharply back to pre-war levels, but this was only the beginning, and by mid-April, the Iraqi army, which had claimed to be pulling the Yankees into the quagmire of the new Vietnam War, was already in ashes.

Oil futures began to fall sharply.

Cornerstone Investments, which had been shorted in advance, won again.

This has come and gone, and Cornerstone Investment has made more than 10 billion US dollars in this wave of oil futures speculation!

Such a huge profit made Zhao Dashao, who knew the inside story, dumbfounded.

Of course, they invested in the third phase of the speculative fund under Cornerstone Investment, because of the short participation time, the harvest was relatively small, but even so, it was nearly doubled!

Even after deducting the 30% share of the excess profits of cornerstone investment, the return rate of the third phase of the fund has reached more than 120%, which is a return on investment that can be crazy!

Because it's less than half a year in total!

There is no impermeable wall in the world, Zhao Dashao and Li Ershao's investment is family funds, when they passed back the performance of the cornerstone investment, the news quickly spread throughout the Xiangjiang investment and financing community, so that the Xiangjiang investment and financing industry was in an uproar.

"Xiangjiang Financial Strange Woman"--"Xiangjiang Daily"

"Earned more than 10 billion in 3 months, possessed by the God of Doubt"--Ta Kung Pao

"The new queen of oil futures kicks out Wall Street"--Oriental Daily

......

Of course, this is still due to Liu Ruoyi's use of a closed-end fund method, and the outside world does not know who the real owner of the first two funds is and what the income is, so what is reported now is the income of the third phase of cornerstone investment as the benchmark, and there is no reference to the more dazzling return on investment in the first and second phases.

But even so, Liu Ruoyi, the cornerstone boss, has attracted much attention for her mysterious ability and ability to make money.

In the face of overwhelming praise, Liu Ruoyi accepted an interview with a certain media and gave most of the credit to his team of traders.

"I would like to thank my operation team for all these achievements, they are a very professional futures traders, and Cornerstone Investments has achieved very good results under their management, and will continue to achieve good results in the future.

I am fortunate to be able to work with such a group of professionals. Liu Ruoyi said modestly.

"However, some sources say that Miss Annie is the one who is the leader of this wave of the market, and predicted in advance that Xiaobu will start a war against Iraq, is this true?" The reporter was unwilling to get such a result, because in this way, the article would not have exploded.

This source was obviously obtained through the channels of Zhao Shaodong or Li Ershao, in this regard, Liu Ruoyi did not let these two people keep it secret, and also said to many people around him that there was no need to keep it secret.

"This is just a fluke," Liu Ruoyi did not deny.

"What really matters is that I don't think that the rise in oil prices is just because of this factor, if you carefully study the supply and demand of the entire oil market today and the demand for oil in the future world economic development, you will understand that oil, as the blood of economic development, has become more and more in demand with the end of the Asian financial crisis and the gradual elimination of the negative impact of the Internet bubble on the economy. ”

The reporter was very excited when he heard Liu Ruoyi admit, and this news confirmation can be regarded as one of his main breaking points today.

However, Liu Ruoyi not only admitted this, but also made further analysis and prediction of the future, which is a fringe benefit for him.

"If you look at the changes in the deep-seated supply and demand relationship behind it, I think oil prices will spiral in the future, and it is very likely that the overall price will double in 3 to 5 years, so in the long run, oil futures still have great opportunities to participate. ”

This kind of retreat prediction, in the financial world every day people express their own opinions, bullish and bearish are endless, reporters do not take it seriously, and then asked some investment funds of cornerstone investment to accept the rules after completing their interview.

"Insight into the Secrets Behind the Future--Interview with Annie, Chairman of Cornerstone Investments"--Wenhui Finance

"Paying attention to current events is the best way to grasp the trend of oil prices"

"Since the establishment of Cornerstone Investment, each fund has returned more than 10 times!"

"Oil prices are expected to double again in the future"

"Cornerstone Investment accepts professional investors to share the huge profits of the future oil market and other resource futures markets, with an investment amount of 1 million Hong Kong dollars, a closed period of not less than 12 months for each fund, and no fees for annual returns of less than 25%!"

......

With the release of this interview, Cornerstone Investment has become popular in Xiangjiang.

Although most professional investors are still skeptical about the success of this speculation, the fourth phase of the oil futures fund was established as the Zhao family and the Li family increased their investment in the cornerstone again.

With the report that some investors who followed the trend came one after another, the first batch of the fifth phase of the oil futures fund and the first phase of the iron ore futures fund established by Cornerstone Investment were each capped at one billion US dollars, and soon the over-offering was closed!

Long-term contracts long lock in basic income, short-term contract quantitative trading chasing up and down, this combination is invincible in the early operation of oil futures, if the bet is on the right direction, it is basically a big profit, as long as there is a 10% increase in the market expectation of a year, the cornerstone investment trading team can at least more than double.

Although Liu Ruoyi is now earning a large amount of funds, for the time being, it can snowball without external funds.

But Liu never wanted to make Cornerstone Investments a private investment company, but instead planned to develop it into a top-tier investment bank with Wincheong Bank.

The publicization of investment funding sources is the foundation for cornerstone investment to be able to preserve itself and survive according to business rules in the future. After all, Liu Ruoyi's financial adventure aimed at the subprime mortgage crisis is an operation aimed at a country's core financial interests.

If it's just a single private capital, Uncle Sam can just kill the outstretched hand here without caring about it. There was no chance of stepping on those behemoth corpses at all.

The oil futures trading market in the Lion City was finally established, and Liu Ruoyi's cornerstone investment, Lion City Limited, followed up as one of the first traders.

Although the current trading volume of this market cannot be compared with that of cloth oil and WTI, this is after all the main oil futures trading market in Asia in the future.

What's more, the financial capital of the Chinese circle in Southeast Asia is abundant, and the total amount is three points stronger than that of Xiangjiang financial capital, which is an important source of capital market for Liu Ruoyi in the future, and of course she is not willing to let it go.

It's just that in the Lion City, Liu Ruoyi's fame is still greater than the identity of a financial talent, after all, in this city with a mixture of Chinese and English, Liu Ruoyi's English and Chinese albums are very popular.

Despite this, Cornerstone Investments Lion City's first US$1 billion oil futures fund completed its recruitment and commenced operations as scheduled.

Through several recruitments, Cornerstone Investment has set up 6 oil futures funds and an iron ore futures fund, with a total amount of more than 25 billion US dollars, and is already a big player to be reckoned with in the international oil futures market.

Although the top giants such as Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Citigroup have not spoken, they have actually set up a special team internally to track the positions of cornerstone investments.

This was originally the meat on their lips, but now a fierce shark suddenly sprang up, and these giants naturally began to deploy against each other.

Although it is not yet possible to join forces to deal with it, the operation of cornerstone investment is no longer a secret to them.

To be active in these markets, these top investment banks naturally have their own ways of survival, and they are by no means as clean and simple as the outside world imagines.

Liu Ruoyi has been in top investment banks, and of course she knows this, but this kind of discourse power has been accumulated by Western capital and Wall Street capital for many years, and no one can shake it now.

Liu Ruoyi now no longer relies on short-term speculation, but on the grasp of the entire long-term demand relationship, so that her operation direction will not be wrong, if these top investment banks try to pit the cornerstone investment, in the opposite direction to interfere with the market.

Now Liu Ruoyi, who has plenty of funds, will let them know why the flowers are so red!

The overall background of the entire international supply and demand relationship is by no means something that can be easily reversed by capital. For example, the rise of the mainland economy and the massive demand for resources!

Therefore, even if these top investment bank predators can see Liu Ruoyi's hole cards, that is, affect some short-term markets, Liu Ruoyi's long-term investment will make these predators who dare to bet break their teeth in minutes!
