Hicks's departmental office is very spacious, several rooms are connected, and can accommodate about 20 people, all from prestigious schools from all over the world, young and old, and people of different nationalities, all of whom are extremely strong people in the field of investment, and all of them are of very high standards and experience. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

These people are all Goldman Sachs elites, and they are all well-known on Wall Street.

"But they do it now. ”

Hicks' other subordinates, who were also middle-aged white men operating the computer, were trading stocks with the company's funds, and his fingers were beating rapidly on the keyboard, and he said loudly, "And the volume of purchases is still increasing... Boss, there is no time to hesitate to decide whether we follow or not. ”

While they were talking, another $50 million was bought in, and through the electronic screen, it was clear that the data was fluctuating rapidly.

"If you don't follow for the time being, they don't have enough liquidity, and it's impossible to eat too many shares. If more funds are forcibly withdrawn, the entire capital chain of the LB Group will be broken, and for them, it will be a bigger loss than losing the management rights of Facebook. Even if it is kicked out of Facebook management, LB Group will not lose anything in terms of funds, after all, the proportion of shares is still there, but blindly buying with a large amount of money will be a big loss. ”

Hicks looked at the stock price that kept jumping up, and his expression became uncertain, as an investor, his purpose so far is to maximize profits.

The specific amount of interest is not too important, but the proportion of the important benefit is one time, five times, or ten times, or dozens of times?

This is called profit maximization.

This kind of truth seems to be very simple and easy to understand.

Everyone knows it, everyone understands it, but if you really want to achieve this goal, the effort and dedication required are simply not words can be said.

As a professional in the financial field, Hicks climbed to the top of Goldman Sachs Group, and his life record does not need to be repeated, and the evaluation of him in the industry is extremely high.

But no matter how high the evaluation is, it is useless in the ever-changing market.

In most of the time, the restraint of people's thinking and action, is often the experience of the past, the success of the routine model too many times, will make people's action and thinking solidified, in the face of things that do not follow common sense, will lose the ability to take the lead.

It is true that the sense of smell is very sensitive, and it is not wrong to be strong, but the fault lies in the misjudgment of things, even if it is Goldman Sachs' information and intelligence, it cannot be 100% correct.

Even if Goldman Sachs' intelligence is correct in most cases, sometimes there are some unexpected surprises.

For example, LB Group's liquidity is only about 700 million US dollars, and it will not exceed 1 billion yuan at most. ――If Bai Xiaosheng knew about Goldman Sachs' statistics, she would definitely be shocked, after all, this is indeed about the same amount of funds under her group.

That's true.

But companies such as Goldman Sachs and Baimeng still underestimated Bai Xiaosheng's methods, she did not remain in a state of amnesia, but silently manipulated behind the scenes, which is the most important point, and she hid it from all competitors.

After all, unless he lives with Bai Xiaosheng day and night, and he has to have a certain understanding of himself, even if he is a professional commercial spy, it is impossible to judge by intuition whether the other party is in a state of amnesia, right?

This is certainly not possible.

Therefore, from the very beginning, there were some discrepancies in information and intelligence, and there was an underestimation of the channels and means of the LB Group. Even though Goldman Sachs closely monitored LB Group's capital movements, it did not expect that its funds did not come from the European and American markets, but from China.

In Hicks' office, all the employees lowered their breaths, and the traders continued to push Facebook's stock price down.

The stock price quickly turned red, and the increase turned into a decline again.

Hicks looked at the electronic screen and sneered: "LB Group has so much money, and they will face losses as soon as they buy shares, can they afford it?"

But even so, the data bounce of large buy orders has not stopped.

A transaction is millions of dollars, and then as soon as you buy it, it will continue to fall, that is, for every $10 million you buy, you may lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in a few minutes.

In this case, even retail investors know that they can't buy it, but a huge group actually buys it like this.

It's a complete suicide attack, and there's nowhere to spend too much money.

"How is it possible?!Where did they get so much money? And with such a drop in proportion, they lost more than $100 million in 20 minutes, my God! Is LB Group crazy?!"

It's just that as time passed, the sneer on the corner of Hicks's mouth began to converge, and his face gradually began to become solemn, and even his subordinates oozed a little sweat from their foreheads.

Three minutes before the U.S. stock market closed, the volume of purchases had reached the volume of $1 billion.

This is already more than Goldman Sachs' estimate of LB Group.

In this short period of time, Hicks did not make a corresponding decision at all, and he did smash the market to make LB Group lose a lot, but...

"Something is wrong, something is very wrong, I feel a little uneasy..."

Hicks muttered to himself with an ugly face, and then, as if remembering something, he quickly pushed away a trader next to him and came to check it out for himself.

"Mike, how much has LB Group's shareholding increased?"

He asked, staring at the screen.

"The number of outstanding shares held is about 70 million shares, accounting for about 14% of the total number of shares, and even if you add the original shares, the LB Group's shareholding is less than 40%. ”

The department manager next to him said in a deep voice.

Hicks frowned, his fingers turned white, and ordered: "The proportion is already over 35%, which is a very dangerous value, follow up quickly." ”

He knew very well at this point that relying too much on empiricism might have cost him one of his best opportunities.

Goldman Sachs also began to buy a large number of shares, and a large amount of money poured back in, but at this time, it was only a minute before the US stock market closed.

It is simply impossible to buy in large quantities.

"Alright, I got it. This share ratio is enough, and the remaining funds do not need to be touched. ”

When Bai Xiaosheng received Sun Ge's call, it was already more than 5 p.m. New York time, and after briefly saying some specific situations, she hung up the phone.

As if feeling a strange gaze, the girl raised her head and found that Su Rong on the opposite side was looking at herself with a strange look, but there was no focus in her pupils, but she was full of dazed emotions.

However, it is not a simple daze, but there is spring in the eyebrows, just like the weather outside.

“？？？”

Bai Xiaosheng looked at the beautiful mature woman in front of her with a question mark face, and saw that the other party didn't react much, so she coughed slightly: "Ahem... Aunt Su, it's past five o'clock, it's time for us to get off work, right?"

As the chairman of a company said 'off work', I inexplicably felt a kind of helplessness in it.
