Friends played in Luo Yu alum for a day. Li Zhiyang and Nancy hurried to several magazines and Nancy wanted to play for a few more days, but Li Zhiyang told her. She had a big business to do in New York, so she didn't say too much, so she followed Li Zhiyang to New York.
The Nancy family also has a house in New York, but not in Queens or Manhattan, but in the Hamptons area of Long Island.
A phrase that used to be popular in the country was. If you don't go to Shenzhen, you don't know that you have little money, but in the United States, you have to change it, and when you don't get to the Hamptons, you don't know that you have little money.
This is the area where the rich people live in the United States, especially New York, and the houses here, not to mention those facing the Atlantic Ocean, are facing the small water bay, and a house does not have 18 million dollars, so it is basically impossible to get down. When Nancy introduced Li Zhiyang, Li Zhiyang felt that the pear was very big!
Before going to Nancy's house, Nancy drove her BMW and took Li Zhiyang around the Hamptons. Sightseeing along the east-west highway to the surrounding areas and its East Hampton and South Hamptons, Li Zhiyang felt that it was really beautiful. There are also a lot of undeveloped areas with farms. You can pick your own strawberries and eat them. One after another, similar to the small towns in the New England area, under the blue sky and white clouds, green trees, white houses, small family-run shops and restaurants, no chain stores, chain restaurants, it is really a paradise. No wonder the rich people like it so much. Li Zhiyang felt that if he had money, he would want to buy a house here.
Before arriving at Nancy's house, Nancy takes him to the only supermarket in town to buy some food. When I got to the parking lot, I was full of Ferraris, Bentleys, Lamborghini and other world-famous cars. Driving a sports car to buy groceries is too personal.
Nancy's BMW was compared among these cars at this time, and it was obviously a stinky street car, hey! There are so many rich people, Li Zhiyang pondered in his heart.
When I entered the supermarket, I looked at the price of vegetables. Li Zhiyang was suddenly shocked again. What? A radish sells for more than 20 US dollars! A cucumber sells for 10 US dollars! An eggplant actually sells for 15 US dollars! From a kilogram of potatoes worth $7 to an ostrich egg worth $40, this supermarket called Whole Foods completely shocked Li Zhiyang!
What kind of organic and inorganic, are all your dishes grown on Mars? Li Zhiyang was still shocked. But Nancy and the others, who were shopping on the side, didn't care at all, people didn't look at the price at all when they bought things, as long as they wanted to eat, they would just put them in the basket if they liked to eat small.
At the checkout, Li Zhiyang counted and ordered. It actually cost a few hundred US dollars, a week's salary for ordinary Chinese people! It is really a place where the rich people in the United States live!
Nancy's house in the Hamptons is still very large and luxurious, and the interior is still in a bright and well-reviewed decoration style, but these can no longer make Li Zhiyang feel much shock.
He came to the United States this time and was shocked several times. This shock! I was stunned, and I got used to it. This is the life of the top rich, it turns out that the house and lifestyle of the top rich are like this?
can make this Li Zhiyang, who used to just watch TV series and fantasize about the life of a rich man, has opened a lot of eyes. But in a few days, Lao Tzu Employment will be one of the super rich people. Li Zhiyang thought about the scene of his short-selling Dow Jones plummeting a few days later. At that time, I don't know how many rich people living here will move out and become former passers-by, Li Zhiyang thought darkly in his heart.
At this time, it was already the old number of March East Coast time, and in two days and three nights, it was time for the Dow to fall sharply for the first time. This is also the day that he Li Zhiyang remembers most clearly in the whole subprime mortgage crisis, although those big events came step by step.
The subprime mortgage crisis also broke out step by step. However, he only knows the best record of the situation on this day, and the February issue announced that New Century Financial Company, which had a profit loss in the fourth quarter of last year, had been suspended, and HSBC Group had increased its provision for bad debts of hundreds of millions of dollars for the mortgage market. Now the atmosphere of terror in the market has formed.
Debt collection in the face of Wall Street dollars. In March, the New Century Financial Company announced that it was on the verge of bankruptcy, and the U.S. stock market would plummet on the same day, and the Dow Jones plummeted by more than 200 points on the same day.
At this time, if you don't dig out the wallets of the Chinese people, when will you wait, every time after the financial crisis, someone will come out and say that there is a lot of money. Hundreds of billions of dollars have evaporated, but in fact it has really evaporated Microservice?
Li Zhiyang didn't believe these, this stock index futures trading market is actually just a casino for oligarchs, when the pigs are fattened, they will not kill and eat meat.
This is a battlefield of games, and money always flows from one person's pocket to another's pocket, and the people who really laugh to the end are the people who make a lot of money in a muffled voice. Don't expect these guys to stand up, are they going crazy to stand in front of the public and say loudly, "Hey, how much money did I make from so-and-so's economic crisis?" ”
In short, in this market, someone loses, someone wins, and this is just a bigger casino to play.
Li Zhiyang believes that as long as the time on the March issue is still according to the original route, then the short selling warrants in his hand will be more and more valuable!
On April 2, New Century Financial Corporation will file for bankruptcy protection.
The hedge fund within UBS failed in the Ming 4 attempt, and lost more than a dollar in the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States
In June, Bear Stafford stumbled, and some of the investment banks that had lent him money announced that they would seize its assets. After the news broke, many other fund companies also reported heavy losses in the subordinated bond market.
In July, one of Bear Stearns' hedge funds was on the verge of collapse
In August, Bear Stearns declared that credit markets in Europe and the United States were showing their worst performance in years. European and U.S. stock markets plummeted across the board. Governments have come to the rescue. The subprime mortgage crisis began to erupt in earnest.
That's all there is to Li Zhiyang to remember about the subprime mortgage crisis, so he was shorting the Dow for a six-month contract.
In other words, as the economic situation deteriorates every month, scandals continue to be reported by major companies. Then the Dow futures warrants in his hand will be worth more money.
However, Li Zhiyang doesn't care that so many young people who have lived in us for three generations are all from peasant backgrounds, and those who are too risky to occupy classes dare not play, and when the time comes, what will be the money! It is better to settle in the pocket, let's start with a sum of money first! This refers to warrants, which can cost tens of billions of dollars at every turn, which is also too scary.
Li Zhiyang's deposit of more than 5,100 sons. chose to carry the lever of persuasion, which means that what he can use in the warrant market is a concave billion dollar of funds.
His requirements are not high, as long as the 15 billion dollars can become a real 15 billion enough, but if it goes well. It could be much higher than that.
It is also often said that the futures market is much riskier than the stock market. Because in the stock market, as long as the stocks you buy are not suspended and delisted, then at most you will be trapped, as long as you can wait, sooner or later you can wait until the day of the bull market. Sooner or later, there will be a time for the stock to rise.
But this playing warrant is different, your money is just a premium or margin, especially if you play index, there is some bad news coming from this thing, and there will be fluctuations of dozens or hundreds of points at any time. Then your little money may be forcibly liquidated at any time and be wiped out.
A person like Li Zhiyang, who has a very strong sense of small farmers, is certainly not a person who can rest assured and bold to play rich on paper, so as long as he can make a profit. He planned to run away that day, with such a big risk. He didn't dare to flutter. Otherwise, he will be drowned at any time.
On the day of the key number, Li Zhiyang did not go out. He didn't go to the New York Stock Exchange, but stayed at Nancy's house.
In Nancy's villa, there is an electronic studio with a video wall and multiple computers, so that you can keep abreast of the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange, the Chicago Board of Trade, and the Dow Jones index. Changes in the trading of financial derivatives such as the NASDAQ, S&P and Forex.
Li Zhiyang hid in the studio early in the morning, waiting for the opening of the New York story. When he and Nancy came to the villa. They still haven't seen Nancy's parents, so they're still doing whatever they want here.
Li Zhiyang opened his account and was ready to trade at any time. The stock market was calm in the morning. But at one o'clock in the afternoon, on the TV news, the CEO of New Century Financial Group announced to the world in front of the camera with a depressed face that New Century Financial Group was on the verge of bankruptcy.
The U.S. stock market immediately began to change drastically, and the Dow Jones index began to plummet and decline all the way.
It seems that history has not changed much because of the appearance of this little reptile. However, his little reptile will soon become a predator capable of turning clouds and rain in the market of stock index futures.
Looking at the continuous decline of the Dao finger on the computer screen like taking a laxative, Li Zhiyang seemed to hear the wails of those traders who became nothing in an instant!
Some of these vampires sucked the blood of better than other countries in the Asian financial turmoil ten years ago, and they don't know how many families in those countries in Southeast Asia have been ruined because of them. And Huaxia Guo also suffered a loss at that time, and Li Zhiyang did not retaliate against this handful, even if it was a small interest!
The wails of those speculators who have suffered serious losses are so wonderful to Li Zhiyang at this time, because it will be for him to break out of the cocoon and become a butterfly. And the carol played.
。
Looking at the TV screen, the Dow Jones index jumped down like a dive. Li Zhiyang's heart blossomed, and what was turned over there was a number, it was simply a colorful dollar bill?
What are you polite at this time? Don't throw it away at this time, but when will you wait? Li Zhiyang kept clicking the mouse. Throw batch after batch of short-selling contracts into the market. These contracts were quickly snapped up by other investors. The news that New Century Financial Group was on the verge of bankruptcy finally became the fuse that detonated the heavy drop in each share. This made some time ago, the market was not very optimistic about the economic trend of the United States this year. Finally found a breakthrough.
Various indices have taken a sharp turn, and the collapse of the Dow Jones has formed a panic in the market, which was originally optimistic about this year's rice economy for various reasons, and investors who are bullish on the Dow Jones index are panicking. They have a lot of call warrants that they sell because they are bullish. However, at this time, these warrants will not only not bring them huge benefits, but will become their talismans.
At this time, they need women the most... Remember, Li Zhiyang's short-selling rights need to cry and admit to hedge the originally bullish warrants in their hands. If they can't hedge, they can only declare bankruptcy like the New Century Financial Group.
For a time in the market, the demand for put warrants continued to increase, and the price of put warrants. It's also rising. Stopping the price of put warrants from rising, Li Zhiyang's heart blossomed.
He didn't actually intend to fulfill these put warrants at all, because most of these warrants were sold by big brokerages such as the country's largest brokers, Merrill Lynch, Lehman Brothers, or Bear Stearns.
He has to thank these greedy brokers, for their greed, they have been carried away for the past few years in order to get the most out of the financial market. Constantly raise this financial lever to attract people who dream of getting rich overnight to join this market.
Therefore, Li Zhiyang was able to choose a 300-fold carrying pole with assets of more than $51 million. Then leverage 15 billion funds to make waves in this market.
15 billion seems like a lot. However, with more than 15 trillion dollars in capital circulation this year, the New York Stock Exchange is nothing at all. But here suddenly was bad news. And the critical moment that detonated the panic mood. This 15 billion is often the first straw that crushes the camel. Because of this one hundred and fifty billion. In this market, there will never be a shortage of well-funded predators and consortia.
In fact, Li Zhiyang had no intention of fulfilling these warrants at all, although he would earn more money. But those were not what he wanted, because today the Dow Jones index alone will fall wildly, and the last digit after the decimal point represents sixty dollars for each jump. If such a contract were to be executed, it would cost more than a million dollars.
Li Zhiyang has $15 billion in his hands and can use it to stay away, and the premium for such a warrant ranges from $50 to $90, and the average premium for the warrant he purchased is about $70. Then the warrants in his hand may have to be counted in billions.
If he executes all the warrants in his hand. I'm afraid I can really buy the whole of the United States. If he really did that, I'm afraid that the Rockefeller Consortium, the Morgan Foundation, the Boston Foundation, the Chicago Foundation, and the First Citigroup Consortium?
I'm afraid that the top ten consortia in the United States will have to follow his surname Li. But if he really dares to do that, I'm afraid he won't see the sun tomorrow, and those consortia will definitely not allow an Asian, let alone a Chinese national, to control what they have worked hard for more than a hundred years
。
And if he really executes the warrants. I'm afraid that people won't be able to pay you, so they will declare bankruptcy. And then hand over a mess to you, what can you do. His Li Zhiyang's ability is not so great, and he can play several major consortia at the same time. If someone digs a few pits and waits for you to jump in. I'm afraid that I won't get the money, and I will have to go into debt in the end.
What's more, the government of the United States will not agree to such a situation, and Li Zhiyang is afraid that if there is no accident the next day, he will die. Or they will be put in prison by the US government on a trumped-up charge, such as stealing the US imperialists' plan to land on Mars, and never think about it
!
So if you want to make money, you can sell these short-selling warrants to companies that originally looked at the Dow Jones, or companies that are using call warrants to hedge certain risks.
Now such companies need these contracts the most, and they want to use these put warrants to hedge against the call warrants that they used to issue for various reasons. In order to offset the losses caused by this plunge, otherwise it will not be long before they will declare bankruptcy like the New Century Financial Consortium!
So now there is nothing more cost-effective than selling the put warrants in his hand, and when Li Zhiyang began to sell the put warrants in his hands, the market had already shouted that the price of the put warrants was $150. He paid an average of $70 in royalties. Moreover, the price of this put warrant will continue to rise, so if you don't sell it now, you will wait for when.
Li Zhiyang sat in front of the computer, as long as he clicked the mouse, tens of thousands of warrants were sold with his clicks again and again. In this way, a large amount of US dollars flew into his accounts in offshore banks in the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman Islands, and Bermuda.
The money, after a few more rounds in these banks, was finally remitted to several accounts he had opened in Swiss banks and Zurich banks. I believe that even if someone else comes to check, they have to check all kinds of meat and vegetables.
It is absolutely a miracle that 50 million dollars were cashed out in one day after 50 million yuan was played in the capital market and all kinds of expenses were removed. The premise is that you have to be like Li Zhige, in fact, from the future world.
Looking at the numbers tumbling on the computer screen, Xiao Li Zhiyang only felt that his brain was congested, those numbers were just symbols now, he felt that those were no longer money, he was numb
