Since July, several companies participating in the short-selling plan have gradually withdrawn from the European and American stock markets, and Hong Tao can't tell whether there is a big advantage to take advantage of in the end. The whole picture of this matter in his memory is not very clear, and he only knows the overall trend but does not understand the details, especially in the middle and late stages.

For the sake of insurance, he did not pursue the maximization of benefits when specifying the plan, and it belonged to the mode of starting early, short-term, and running with a steady and accurate bite, and he must not be greedy.

All the families are more cooperative, they don't know that Hong Tao is also blind, since Hong Banxian has spoken, and his family has made a lot of money, why don't they accept it if they don't see it.

But Diane was not completely obedient, she believed both Hong Banxian's prophecy and her own judgment, so she secretly kept a part of her personal funds to continue shorting, and used the highest leverage.

The result...... She's right.

Just a few days ago, Britain's Barlake Bank and Bank of America abandoned their acquisition plans, and a few hours later, Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States with a history of more than 100 years, formally filed for bankruptcy protection with the court, with total liabilities exceeding $600 billion.

Such a big hole will certainly not be closed by bankruptcy alone, and the resulting financial tsunami will not only hit Wall Street, but the world's financial markets will have to pay for it.

The reason why Diane was able to bet on the treasure at this time was completely accidental. In the days leading up to Lehman Brothers' bankruptcy protection, few people in the world believed that the U.S. government would see the century-old store go bankrupt and expect it to do the same way it saved Bear Stearns.

However, this time the US government really can't pull it back, or the US government would rather let its country's financial market suffer huge losses than watch others stay out of the situation and hurt the enemy with one move and lose one thousand.

It's a clever and shady move, and it's tantamount to sharing the trouble caused by Wall Street to the whole world, from Asia to Europe to Africa and South America, and few countries have been spared.

But even if the Americans dare to provoke the anger of the public so blatantly, it is estimated that the other countries will be destroyed by the allied forces of the world.

Throughout history, there have been many financial crises, no matter how tragic they are, there is no shortage of profiteers, and even a few well-known families have taken advantage of the economic crisis to rise to power.

This time is no exception, Diane has made such a big profit. Although the money still has to be reviewed by various management departments and cannot be freely transferred in a short period of time, it is large enough for Diane to retire directly.

In addition to money, there is another very important thing that Hong Tao did not expect, which is called recognition. It doesn't come from a certain person, but from a certain class.

Before Diane returned from Europe, she had already been approached by two well-known fund management companies, both with the same purpose, to invite Diane to join them and enter the management.

Compared with the amount of funds they manage, the financial predator Soros can wash and sleep, barely enough for a fraction, all of which are behemoths of more than 100 billion US dollars.

But Diane didn't let the victory get carried away, the adventure was just gambling, using her own money. Everyone is happy when they make money, and they are still supported by Hong Tao when they lose. Even if you lose all your pants, it will still have no effect when you come back, and you will be scolded at most.

However, it is not so easy to work in a large fund management company, and if something goes wrong, you will have to bear legal responsibility. These large companies are more research institutes than corporations, and they all have their own data centers and statistical centers.

The owner of a company called Renaissance is a world-renowned mathematician, and his level is relatively high compared to the Nobel Prize-winning level, which is creepy to hear.

Diane asked herself if she really didn't have such a big ability to talk to others and point fingers, unless Hong Tao could give enough support in private. didn't just run back to probe the wind, and by the way, he also wanted to use that money to plug Hong Tao's mouth.

"Even if you take the position, you still have to hold the position of the family company, you can't be in Cao Ying's heart in Han, that would be too unprofessional. ”

"But I can be a private partner, and I think Renaissance technology is good. In this economic crisis, you are all big winners, and you will not lose out by cooperating more in the future. ”

Not only was Diane a little creepy, but Hong Tao also felt a little chill in his back after listening to Diane's introduction. There are two names among these capital management companies that he has heard of in his lifetime and has limited contact with.

These big guys are all deep-rooted private consortia in the United States, and they are usually inconspicuous, but they have a lot of energy, and they are really cannibalistic and do not spit out bones.

Don't talk about it, once they find out that Diane doesn't have too high use value, they will deduct a bunch of black pots from her every minute, and the annual salary of millions or tens of millions is not so easy to get.

Verbal rejection and distancing themselves from them? This is not good, once these people have set their sights on anyone, they will persevere, and they will not give up until they achieve their goals. Let such a group of people be targeted, and after a long time, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not find out about themselves through Diane.

The best way is to cooperate with one of them, neither to give you a part-time job, nor to use you as a shield from thousands of miles away. As for the limited shared resources, that's total.

I have N tons of inconsequential world events in my memory, and from time to time I let Diane take out a concern, and it's hard to talk about whether it's useful or not. In this way, Diane can also share their resources partially, which is much safer than going it alone, how can it be considered how not to suffer.

The reason why Renaissance Technology was chosen as the object of cooperation was entirely because of Hong Tao's preference. He is not familiar with these companies, and he doesn't have a good impression of them, but if he has to choose one of them, Renaissance technology is relatively pleasing to the eye.

According to the information that Diane got back, the founder of this company is James Simmons, who was originally a well-known mathematician. Hong Tao's father is a math teacher, which is called Aiwu and Wu.

What's more important is that Renaissance Technology's way of judging each investment is relatively unusual at this time, it employs many scientists who have nothing to do with the financial industry, through mathematical and physical formulas, to quantify financial data, and then use the data to decide how to invest.

So much so that industry insiders have called this company "the best financial company in mathematics and physics".

To others, this may seem like a joke or a weird idea, but in Hong Tao's eyes, it's the trend of the future. In a few years, something called big data will come to the fore, and the current approach of Renaissance Technology is very similar to big data, or simple big data analysis under certain conditions.

Since James Simmons is so ahead of his time, he is still a scientist who occupies the edge of mathematics, Hong Tao, who has always prided himself as a second-hand scientist, naturally thinks that he is more reliable.

In fact, Hong Tao also has a plan, that is, to try to use Diane and Simmons to establish a better personal partnership, and then encourage the other party to establish a big data company. Simmons has people, expertise, and the right direction, and if we can work together, we have to be a win-win situation.

It doesn't matter if you can't win, playing with a master can make Diane grow faster. In the future, Galaxy will also need experts in financial investment, and this is not just an opportunity for further education. Whether you make money or not, put it aside, long knowledge is a must, beneficial and harmless.

Diane didn't know what Hong Tao was thinking, but she was very grateful for Hong Tao's generosity. To be honest, she really wants to go to these companies, who doesn't want to play chess and play chess? Who doesn't want to play football and try their hand at Barcelona and Real Madrid? Who doesn't want to work in the design teams of Microsoft and Google that develop operating systems?

In the same way, as long as you can enter the top management of these investment companies, it is equivalent to stepping on the highest platform in the world's investment field, and the people you will be exposed to will suddenly be clear, and the people you will contact will not be the same level as before.

At this point, you don't have to deliberately learn anything, just stand in this group for a while, and you will find that you have improved a lot.

Isn't there such a saying, what heights you can reach depends largely on who is in your circle.

In fact, our ancestors said more incisively, just four words: close to Zhu Zhechi!
