With the concerted efforts of James Cameron and his crew colleagues, "Unsinkable" was finally completed before Christmas.

In order to allow the film to complete post-production smoothly, special effects production began as early as September, and Cameron's special effects company "Digital Domain" was fully responsible.

Mel Gibson flew back to Australia to spend Christmas with his wife and children, but soon, he had to rush back to New York to make up some scenes in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

Fortunately, such intensive work is used to by Mel Gibson. Just like the model worker Jack Chen, he never said anything about taking a vacation.

Don is invited by Shirley Hirschler to travel to New York to spend Christmas with Natalie's family.

In the whole United States, the holiday atmosphere is very grand, and there are Christmas trees and decorative images of Santa Claus everywhere, but Donn doesn't feel it, Christmas is just a symbol for him.

So at the end of this year, going to New York for the holidays is fake, and taking stock of Dune Capital's revenue for a year is true.

This year, Donn's expenses ...... It's a bit big!

The original capital of Down Capital was 4.25 billion US dollars, but in the past 8 months, Tang En's expenditure on industrial investment has been as high as 1.52 billion US dollars!

Among them, real estate investment is the largest, with Towne Pictures headquarters park, mid-levels manor, townhouses, and luxury high-rise apartments, with a total expenditure of 450 million US dollars;

The total investment of Apple, PayPal and Netflix reached $420 million;

In the film industry, Towne Capital invested in Legendary Pictures and Pixar, spending $290 million;

Shares in the toy industry, Hasbro and MGA, spending $90 million;

Luxury investments, including private jets, luxury yachts, private cars...... Total expenditures also amounted to $260 million. (See Note)

This huge amount of money, Don worked hard to earn from the futures market, and almost went to prison, just to buy Universal Pictures, which played a vital role in Don's career development in Hollywood.

It cost $1.52 billion in more than 8 months, which is simply exaggerated!

Of course, it's a bubble crisis, and Donn, who has a clear message about the stock market, has a lot of room for profit. Scott Swift, at his behest, continued to go short, targeting two stocks – Yahoo and Cisco.

The effect was not as rosy as he thought.

Not to mention the free market economy, the local crisis of science and technology stocks has led to a larger economic crisis, and the Financial Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Justice has been closely monitoring the stock market, futures market, and bond market for most of the past six months.

Especially NASDAQ!

As a result, Don Capital shorted Yahoo and Cisco, and could not act as recklessly as at the beginning of the year, and the scale was limited.

Even someone from the Department of Justice went out of his way to come to the door and talk to Scott Swift alone.

Although there is no explicit requirement to prohibit large-scale shorting of individual stocks, several insinuations indicate the attitude of the federal government.

Stay stable!

If a hard-nosed financial tycoon like Soros would probably turn his nose up at such unreasonable demands and obstruct the free market, this is unconstitutional!

But Don couldn't, he was a little weak-hearted.

Soros is playing capital operation, and Don is playing prescience, lacking sufficient theoretical support, and once investigated, no suitable and rich reasons can be obtained.

It's better to be honestly low-key.

So in the past six months, Don Capital's income has been far less than Tang En expected, excluding capital taxes, only 430 million US dollars have been earned.

This certainly doesn't satisfy Donn's appetite!

The entire NASDAQ has to evaporate $10 billion every week, and Don worked hard for more than half a year to earn 430 million.

After deducting this year's dividends, Town's current book capital is only $3.15 billion, which is far from meeting Town's requirements.

In addition to Universal Pictures, there are also entertainment ecological chains such as music, games, publishing, and television networks, which require a large amount of capital to support.

Even if Donn was prescient, there were not many opportunities to make a lot of money.

Speculating in oil and making war money?

Don't be funny, so many top families and capital giants spent so much money lobbying the Congress and launching a national war that shocked the world, and Tang En didn't make any effort to quietly make a fortune behind his back, making tens of billions of dollars?

It's just boring!

Tang En's prophetic preconception is true, what he is powerful is the knowledge reserve and spiritual attributes, he is mortal in the flesh, and he will be finished if he eats a gun.

So there is no need to think about the war money, the only chance left in Don's eyes is the "911 incident"!

Of course, this also requires careful preparation in the early stage.

If Don dares to short-sell on the NASDAQ and NYSE on a large scale and on a large scale in the early part of September 11, and then wait for the "911 incident" to break out, he will make a lot of money...... Well, even if there is no evidence that Donn colluded with al-Qaeda, with the FBI's drastic methods, he can fabricate a whole bunch of crimes.

So, it must not be stuck at that point in time, it is better to ...... Short now on!

"Scott, get back the funds, and next year, we'll make a big deal!"

Wealth is in danger, and Don En must do this.

Scott Swift saw Donn's solemn face, and deliberately turned on the signal jamming device in his office, and knew that this topic was serious, "Say, I'm ready!"

"Starting tomorrow, January 1st, we are going to restart the short selling plan!"

"Huh?" Scott Swift was slightly stunned, "but the Department of Justice ...... There are already restrictions that do not allow for too much volume like the short sale of Yahoo at the beginning of the year. ”

The corners of Tang En's mouth hooked, and he said lightly: "So this time...... We take a different approach. At the beginning of the year, we won by quality, and we made a lot of money just by relying on a few stocks such as Yahoo, Microsoft, and Dell. This time, we're going to win by quantity!"

"Win by quantity?" you mean...... Spread the range?" Scott Swift frowned and shook his head repeatedly, "I'm afraid it's also difficult, NASDAQ has been monitored by the Department of Justice's Financial Services Authority, and if we exceed that value, we will also attract their attention." ”

Don smiled, "Yes, the operating space of the NASDAQ is still a little smaller. President Bush has just taken office, and he is trying to save the NASDAQ stock market crash, and he must be very strict in monitoring this. ”

Just one month ago, the United States completed the general election, and George W. Bush became the 43rd president in American history.

The new official took office three times, and it was impossible for Don to touch the scales of Bush Jr. at this juncture.

Scott Swift looked at Donn's confident and breezy appearance, and knew that he already had the whole calculation in mind.

For Donne, a young man, he can't see through it!

However, the big victory at the beginning of the year made Scott Swift full of trust in Done, savoring his words, his eyes suddenly widened, revealing a somewhat incredible expression, "Donn, you mean...... NYSE?"

"Haha!" Donn laughed loudly, his voice clear, "Scott, it seems that we have formed a tacit understanding. ”

Scott Swift didn't have the heart to laugh at all, and the cold sweat flowed down directly, "Donn, boss! What the hell do you think? It's the NASDAQ stock market crash now, not the New York Stock Exchange!"

"The NYSE is not implicated by the NASDAQ?"

"There are some, but it doesn't matter. Especially since the new administration has just taken office, investors have shown enough confidence, and the recent bullish market on the New York Stock Exchange has been bullish. ”

"Bullish? That's interesting. Don smiled and muttered to himself.

Scott Swift wasn't in the mood to joke, he was very worried, he used to work at Merrill Lynch, and he also dealt with the NASDAQ.

To put it bluntly, Don Capital doesn't know anything about the New York Stock Exchange at all!

As a layman, spending a lot of money to enter the New York Stock Exchange and launch a large-scale short-selling is tantamount to looking for death.

"Don, this is outrageous, there is no trace of it!"

"Scott, I know your concerns, there's no need for them. Donn waved his hand, then stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling Manhattan Street, "This is New York, this is Wall Street, in my opinion, this is a paradise for imagination compared to Hollywood!"

Scott Swift's face was heavy, and he couldn't figure out what Donn was talking nonsense.

Don turned around and smiled, "Scott, trust me one more time and do it!"

Scott Swift was silent for a long time, and even lit a cigarette very rarely, and after smoking most of it, he slowly asked, "What should I do?"

"Starting from January 1st, a wide range of stocks on the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq are shorted, and you can hire more specialized people for specific stock selections. Don't we have more than $3 billion on our books? Except for the necessary operating expenses, the rest is thrown out!" Don said in a loud tone, he was qualified.

Scott Swift gasped, "This...... It's going to pay a lot!"

Tang En smiled: "Didn't I say it, you can hire some professionals, or consult with securities institutions." ”

Scott Swift said bitterly: "If professionals are really useful, the rich list will not be dominated by entrepreneurs." ”

"Isn't there a stop-loss mechanism?"

"It's just going to cost us less. ”

Tang En's expression has been very calm, "Oh? Let's talk about it, if we are short in early January and close in early June, if the market is not good, how much will we lose?"

"5 or 6 billion is considered less, and 7 or 8 billion is not unexpected. Scott Swift sighed, "Donn, that's not a small amount, and if you're trying to fight the Department of Justice, I don't think there's any need for that." ”

"Competing with the Department of Justice?haha, Scott, I'm not that boring!" Donn shook his head with a smile, and then said lightly: "I can afford a loss of less than $1 billion!"

"Huh?"

Scott Swift was completely stunned, as if he had hit a ghost during the day, and looked at Don stupidly.

Boss, what the hell are you going to do?

$1 billion, what's not to do? Eat and wait for death, it's enough for a few lifetimes!

Then, I heard Tang En's leisurely words: "Action in January, collect the net in June, and in July, let's have another wave of action!"
