Chapter 136: Opportunity Cost, Hand of Friendship

The general trend has been achieved, and the bears did not struggle, and directly admitted defeat and left. Policy futures are soaring, but this is useless, and the other party cannot have so much money to lose.

This is rare, so the liquidation time has to be delayed. It is impossible to know exactly how much money was won. HSBC's funds were not used, but Lin Yi was very good at being a person, so he still asked James to convey his gratitude.

The front-line traders are always keeping an eye on the situation, constantly analyzing the battle situation, and their spirits are highly tense. They should not be overlooked, and they should be sent away happily after promising performance bonuses.

However, for the front-line commander, Lin Yi was slightly dissatisfied. After repeating the professor's warning, he asked in a questioning tone: "I said Jacob, aren't you a professional?

The other party is not afraid, and still talks eloquently: "The matter is urgent, temporary remedy, it is absolutely too late." In order to maintain confidence, appropriate concealment is necessary. ”

Jacob retrieved the transaction records and said that there were security measures in them. Lin Yi couldn't understand this thing, so he directly forwarded it to the special adviser.

After reading it, Professor White expressed his praise: "We have abundant funds, scale effect, advanced electronic equipment, and are in place. The stop-loss strategy, in particular, is indeed very ingenious. Even if you fail, you can get out in time and won't lose too much!"

Lin Yi agreed with the commander's meticulousness: "When calculating credit, don't forget your own share." ”

Seeing off Ferran and Jacob, he turned to the professor and said, "This insurance bet, if someone finds out, heaven will be very dangerous. Mr. White, it looks like I still have a lot to learn. The company's firewall mechanism, I will entrust it to you. ”

The professor agreed, and then gave an example: "Because of a mistake, it caused a domino effect, and finally led to the collapse of the whole line." This kind of thing is not uncommon, like the Great Depression and the oil crisis. Therefore, the U.S. financial market is establishing a circuit breaker mechanism. Avoid a financial crisis that will turn into an economic crisis, which in turn will lead to a social crisis. ”

Lin Yi understood that the financial environment in the future will become more frequent in small crises, and rare in big crises. For major events, the time-traveler can have an impression, but for those small opportunities, memory is not helpful.

Therefore, he invited professors to become long-term partners and set up a private think tank: "I heard that Stanford is not opposed to in-service teachers starting businesses?"

"It's okay to suspend classes and start a company. But there's one thing I have to tell you in advance. KPCB Ventures, which invests in various school properties, and I am an independent director of the company. Sometimes, information sharing is inevitable. ”

Lin Yi was very simple and directly invested a sum of money in KPCB and became a limited partner. It not only reassures professors' worries, but also strengthens the cooperative relationship with Stanford University.

After returning home and sharing the joy of victory, Lin Yi fell asleep. Two days later, the results were counted. In terms of Paradise Games, it invested 200 million US dollars and earned 800 million, which is equivalent to last year's total revenue.

In a happy mood, he joked: "After the tens of billions of bets, I thought that after the end, I would directly become the richest man in the United States?

Jacob has done a great job, and his confidence has recovered a lot: "High-risk players have a bit of life-saving skills. Even if a lawsuit is filed and an application for compulsory performance, the entire force of multiple parties should not be able to earn 2 billion. ”

Lin Yi smiled and narrowed his eyes: "That's good, we're still the big winners!"

Jacob saw the needle: "However, in the past few days, the yen has suddenly skyrocketed. Against the dollar, it soared from 204 to 175. If the exchange of Asia Pacific Trust can be delayed by a few days, according to the original position, it can now earn 300 million US dollars. ”

Lin Yi touched his chin and nodded understandingly: "I understand that time and capital are also lacking in skills. For the 800 million income, the 300 million that was not earned should be the opportunity cost!"

Jacob suggested: "Kim of the Asia Pacific Trust and I have exchanged views. The market has skyrocketed and plummeted, most likely as a turning signal. Therefore, we recommend betting on the depreciation of the yen for some time to come. ”

In the foreign exchange market, Senior Brother Jin is indeed very professional. For more than a year, the gains have significantly outpaced the gains of technology stocks. Lin Yi nodded in agreement, but did not forget to prompt: "I don't ask for a million profits, stability is the guarantee of winning." ”

"Don't worry, boss, I will always stick to the security strategy in the bet. ”

On the side of Paradise Games, there is a lot of money, and on the side of Atari Games, of course, there are big defeats and losses. Of course, someone has to be responsible for such a big loss.

News came from the public relations department: "Atari CEO Cantona has been removed from his post and investigated. If malfeasance is found, it may lead to lawsuits. ”

Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh: "The job of scapegoat is really not easy to do!"

Ferran shook his head: "Old companies are like this, and heroes are only judged by success or failure. In addition, after the arrival of the new president, in order to make up for the losses, the performance system was overturned, and the original promised bonuses were almost not counted. ”

Lin Yi was overjoyed: "This is my own death, Atari's centripetal force, I'm afraid it's going to start collapsing." Heaven must not only look at it, but also extend a hand of friendship. There are a lot of talents over there, so it's best to dig them up. ”

After Heaven's move, two top game developers, Larry and Alain, directly chose to jump ship. The Americans also talked about relationships, and after they took the lead in the needle, more than 60 people came over. The number of Atari engineers has shrunk by one-fifth.

After Larry reported, he provided a message: "There are two top engineers who are planning to leave their old club. But they don't want to work part-time and plan to set up their own company. ”

There are definitely not many top talents in the industry. Lin Yi didn't want to let it go, so he came directly to Corporal Lixian.

But after the phone was connected, although the other side had a good attitude, the tone was very resolute: "If the film is a big success, the actors and directors can get a big bonus." And game developers, on the other hand, don't get a royalty share, which I think is very unfair. ”

The boss persuaded hard, but the engineer David was unmoved: "You don't need to persuade me, Bob and I have already made up our minds." Even the name was chosen, and it was called Activision. ”

Lin Yi fought a cold war, Blizzard Entertainment, "Call of Duty", these memories poured out. In this way, you can't let go!

He said with a lotus flower: "Whether it is a movie or a game, if you want to be released successfully, you can't do without huge marketing expenses." At the beginning, for the sake of the red and white machine, Heaven issued 50 million bonds. As a result, in the insurance market, it finally became a bayonet and became a hit, and Atari's proliferation was also played. ”

David, as a core employee, although he did not participate in the bet, he must know the news. The big guy's various data hit his soft underbelly.

After the formal talks, Lin Yi invested 2 million yuan and provided an issuance channel, accounting for 40% of Activision's shares, becoming the largest shareholder.
