Chapter 70: The Collapse of the Soviet Union
At noon, Jiang Xuewei insisted on letting Liu Xun invite guests to Fulihua for dinner, Liu Xun naturally did not dare to refuse, but after eating, it was Cheng Yu who rushed to pay the bill.
In the afternoon, Zheng Qiang also rushed back from Bajiakou, in addition to bringing back all the stocks he bought in Bajiaokou during this time, Liu Xun asked him to bring his and Jiang Xueyu's bonus of 50,000 yuan each to continue to sweep the goods, Liu Xun could see the excited look on Zheng Qiang's face, earning five or six hundred thousand yuan in half a month, which really scared him, but it was a little strange that Liu Xun did not sell the stocks, and he was also a little anxious, he stayed in Bajiaokou for so long, and he also knew that the price of few stocks over there would rise to more than one to three. One to two is considered a high price.
Liu Xun smiled and said nothing, only let him continue to buy, and encouraged him to invest in it if he had spare money.
Counting their investment in the Octagonal stock market, there are as many as 600,000, in the period when the stock market is not hot, it is worth more than half of the daily trading volume of Octagon, Liu Xun has the heart to invest more money in it, but unfortunately the scale of this black market is not large, no matter how much money there is, the small black market can not accommodate it, 600,000, which is almost the limit of what private individuals can buy.
After sending Zheng Qiang away, Liu Xun didn't dare to go to school in order to escape the clutches of the Jiang Witch, anyway, his absenteeism was already commonplace, so he simply found a place to read.
After the military training, Liu Xun continued to pretend to go to school, and the days passed without wind and waves until October 28th.
On this day, Liu Xun had just returned home when he heard Zhou Huiwen tell him that his grandfather had called him to pay attention to today's newspapers and news.
Liu Xun was still a little inexplicable at first, it was his habit to read the news and newspapers every day, how could his grandfather call him to remind him of this? It wasn't until he saw the international news in the evening that Liu Xun suddenly realized that his grandfather called because of the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I sighed in my heart, some things have to follow the original trend after all, for example, the Soviet Union collapsed as in memory, but under the condition that the general trend remains unchanged, there are still some subtle differences, for example, in the previous life, the time of the collapse of the Soviet Union should have been in December, but now it is more than a month earlier.
Liu Xun sighed, it seems that the wings of his little butterfly have just begun to vibrate and promoted the occurrence of a big event, but after sighing, Liu Xun suddenly realized a problem, the collapse of the Soviet Union, which is closely related to his own interests, so please hurriedly call Zhou Peiwan who is far away in the United States.
"Little Four, why did you call early in the morning?"
The voice on the phone was soft, it sounded a little lazy, as if she had just woken up, Liu Xun then remembered that it should be six o'clock in the morning in New York, and it seems that my aunt is still asleep in the bed and has not gotten up.
"Auntie, something big has happened, did you see today's news, the Soviet Union has collapsed today."
"Oh, you mean this, I follow the news of the Soviet Union more than you do, and I have already seen the news a few hours ago," he said, smiling, "You want to ask me about the 90 million rubles." ”
"Yes, such a large sum of money, you can't care about it or not. Alas, the collapse of the Soviet Union was too early, to my surprise, I thought it would drag on until December, such a short time, auntie, you may not be able to exchange the 90 million rubles for dollars, now as soon as the Soviet Union collapses, the collapse of the ruble has become a foregone conclusion, that huge amount of money nested in your hand, it will become a pile of waste paper, by the way, auntie, how much have you exchanged? ”
Zhou Peiwan, who was far away across the ocean, let out a string of silver bell-like laughter on the phone, "Little Four, you are underestimating my aunt and me, I am still a top student at Harvard, let me tell you, the 90 million rubles, I have already taken off all of them five days ago, and now all I hold in my hand are dollars," said and smiled, "How about it, auntie is amazing." ”
But as soon as the last sentence came out, Zhou Peiwan couldn't help but feel a little hot, how could that sentence sound a little coquettish, as if she was asking him for credit.
Fortunately, Liu Xun was also excited at the moment and didn't notice these small details.
"Auntie, do you mean 90 million rubles, and you have already converted all of them into dollars?"
"yes......"
After Zhou Peiwan personally confirmed, Liu Xun was still a little unbelievable, Zhou Peiwan from leaving Jinjiang to the collapse of the Soviet Union, it was only a little more than half a month in between, and in such a short period of time, he was able to convert all 90 million rubles into US dollars, which is not an ordinary difficulty for an ordinary businessman.
During this period of time, the Soviet Union was extremely chaotic, and it was difficult to guarantee business activities, and the exchange rate of the ruble to the US dollar has not been recognized by the international market.
This process seems simple, but in practice it is extremely difficult, and Liu Xun could not understand how Zhou Peiwan completed such a huge amount of ruble transaction in less than 20 days.
Just thinking about it, I heard Zhou Peiwan on the other end of the phone sigh, "Originally, 90 million rubles could be exchanged for 50 million US dollars, but at the beginning you said that you wanted to exchange it as soon as possible, so there was a lot of loss in the middle, and now it is only about 40 million in your hand." ”
Liu Xun laughed, "It's good to convert less than one-fifth of the loss into dollars, it's better than the exchange rate of dozens of times the depreciation on the black market, the Soviet Union just announced its disintegration today, and the ruble will depreciate like a broken embankment, fortunately, auntie, you exchanged it for dollars in advance, or the money will really become waste paper, hey, I think the ruble will continue to depreciate, this money, maybe we will return it to the Bank of Russia in ten years, only hundreds of thousands or tens of thousands of dollars are enough, My aunt was converted into dollars in such a short time, and now she is becoming more and more of a strong woman. ”
ridiculed, Liu Xun smiled again, "By the way, since you are no longer ready to do entrepot trade, do you want to sell the previous company, plus the $40 million in your hand now is almost $50 million, Auntie, you can directly register a hedge fund to break through the turbulent waves of Wall Street, I support my aunt to go to the capital market to make waves." ”
Liu Xun didn't want to, as soon as he said this, Zhou Peiwan on the other end of the phone fell silent.
"Auntie, what's wrong? Am I not right? Or do you not want to enter the capital market? ”
Zhou Peiwan sighed leisurely over the phone, "Little Si, do you think I can manipulate such a large sum of money?" More than 40 million US dollars, even millions of trading companies have been managed by me, and now this is tens of millions of dollars, I am afraid, I am afraid that I will not be able to manage it myself......"
Zhou Peiwan was interrupted by Liu Xun before she finished speaking, "Auntie don't worry about this, I believe in you, I believe that Auntie can do a good job, this huge amount of money is actually a windfall for us, Auntie just need to operate with confidence." Besides, the original trading company is just because Auntie overly believes in others to delegate too much, I believe that Auntie will not make such a mistake a second time, and besides, capital operation is Auntie's strength, Wall Street is Auntie's interest and dream, hedge funds are different from previous trading companies, I believe Auntie can do a good job. ”
Said and smiled, "Now it's only tens of millions of dollars, it should be just a piece of cake for you, in my mind, my aunt should be the kind of financial predator who can control tens of billions of dollars of funds to impact a country's finances with a wave of a big hand, that is the image of my aunt in my mind, hehe, I am still waiting for my aunt to become a Wall Street figure of the year, and become a rich woman to support me." ”
"Poor ......"
However, Liu Xun's interruption made Zhou Peiwan firm in her confidence, she was originally a top student who graduated from Harvard, and confidence has never been lacking, but it was the Su Xiaotong incident some time ago that caused her a lot of psychological shadows, coupled with the hundreds of millions of funds that are about to be manipulated, it is inevitable that she will feel a little panicked, but the phone call with Liu Xun made her heart completely calm.
Yes, Wall Street was originally his dream, since he has the opportunity, he always has to break through, the windfall, if it is gone, it will be gone, besides, his talent will not let tens of millions of dollars be lost, Zhou Peiwan immediately made up her mind in her heart, since you want your aunt to become a rich woman, then I will become a Wall Street figure to prove your vision!
Tens of billions of dollars seems like a lot of money......
