Chapter 13: Stock Market Crash
Receiving Tang Bao's signal, Horst began to slowly reduce his holdings of various stocks, and because the number of each reduction was very small, he was soon drowned in the sea of stocks, but no one noticed the actions of Phoenix Investment Group, nor did it cause violent fluctuations in stock prices.
After a month, all the shares were finally sold within the time specified by Tang Bao.
So far.
Phoenix Investment has $500 million in hand!
Many internal employees of Phoenix Investment are extremely puzzled as to why they want to liquidate their positions and wait and see when the stock market is booming.
Horst did not give an explanation, only solemnly threw down the sentence "obey the command".
……
It's October.
Suddenly there was a sudden change in the stock market, with some companies seeing small declines in stock prices, but no one realized the crisis was approaching.
"How's your preparation?" Tang Bao called Horst to the office again, so far there has been no news that the stock market is going to plummet, it seems that Horst did not show any tone, in this regard, Tang Bao is very satisfied with Horst's performance. He plans to hand over the next U.S. stock market action plan to Horst to be in charge of commanding and implementing, after all, with Horst's professional elite to operate, he is ten times and a hundred times stronger than a layman like him.
"Hmm. Boss, I've sold all my shares at the high end of the stock price for a total of $560 million, and the investment profit is $120 million. Boss, your prediction is really accurate, according to your reminder, we have done a careful market analysis, and many large companies in the stock market are currently falling, and there are already signs that the stock market is going to crash. As soon as Horst heard Tang Bao's question, he said with emotion, and then became inexplicably excited, "Boss, are we going to short the stock market next?" ”
The stock market crash not only loses money, but also makes a lot of money, depending on whether you have the vision and courage.
Now.
Realizing that the stock market was about to crash, Horst couldn't take it anymore.
"Of course I won't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hehe." Tang Bao said with a smile, "I believe that we are not the only ones who see the abnormality of the stock market, there must be countless capital predators in action secretly, but everyone is silently waiting to prepare for the harvest and come to a big encirclement and suppression." ”
"Encirclement?"
Horst asked, confused.
"Yes, it's encirclement. I believe that this stock market crash may be artificial, and the biggest target is Japan, and there is a great encirclement and suppression of Japanese capital. Tang Bao clearly remembered how huge the losses of Japanese capital in the US stock market crash were, and he landed in the United States with a cheque and a posture of looking at the world, shouting that he wanted to buy the whole of the United States, but he did not know that he would soon usher in a blow.
"Forehead ......"
Horst didn't think about it that much, but he admitted that the Japanese waved checks and frantically bought stock assets of American companies, which did cause panic and worry among many American people, and caused a backlash from some politicians.
"Well, whatever caused the stock market crash, we're just responsible for making money. Well, I expect the 19th stock market crash to come this month, and you should prepare in advance. This stock market crash will not last long, only one day, and it will recover soon. Tang Bao groaned.
"So fast?"
"Well, so there are big artificial suspicions about this stock market crash, but it's none of our business, we just need to take the opportunity to make money." Tang Bao said with a smile, "Go all out to short Dow Jones index futures, and you don't need to hedge your risk." Well, I expect the Dow to plummet by at least 500 points, so you can plan according to this valuation, remember, there is only one day, and you must not fall in love. ”
"Yes, boss."
Horst remembers the shorting of crude oil futures last year, and instinctively believes in the choice.
"By the way, I have drawn up a list of acquisitions, the stock market crash is coming, the prices of various stocks will inevitably plummet, you take the opportunity to buy the shares of these companies......" Tang Bao took out the prepared letter from the drawer and handed it to Horst, which was a batch of very promising company stocks that he had sorted out from memory.
Horst opened the letter in front of him, and was greeted by rows of company names, Microsoft, Coca-Cola, IBM, Wal-Mart, American Express, General Motors, Exxon, Pepsi......
"For the shares of these companies, you can buy as many as you want! Of course, if you think that certain companies that are not on the list have great investment value, you can also hold shares. Tang Bao said calmly. After hearing Horst's assurance, he sent Horst out, this time in addition to handing over Horst to be in charge of American operations, he was not in charge, and he had his own secret operations.
At the end of last month, Tang Bao secretly went to Wells Fargo and mortgaged his personal shares of Microsoft to Wells Fargo to obtain a short-term loan of $300 million. This money has been quietly invested by Tang Bao in the operation of shorting the US stock market.
Afterwards.
Tang Bao's body went to Tokyo, Japan.
Naturally, he will not let go of the opportunity to loot in Tokyo this time, in fact, he has already laid out the Tokyo stock market last year to wait for this stock market crash. The Japanese stock market is still booming, and the stock prices are constantly rising, Tang Bao took the opportunity to sell all the shares of the Japanese company he held, and mastered nearly 1,700 yen. He then mortgaged all his real estate to the bank and obtained a loan of 80 billion yen.
According to conservative estimates, Tang Bao's funds invested in Japan's stock market and real estate last year have tripled to 250 billion yen.
Now.
Only three days before the "Black Monday" in his previous life, Tang Bao had a huge amount of 250 billion yen in his hands, opened a VIP room on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, hired a few traders, and began to buy the Nikkei index in large quantities one after another.
Hearing Tang Bao's instructions, the traders almost went crazy for Tang Bao.
However, they are just short-time workers hired by Tang Bao, and they only need to operate according to the instructions, and the loss or big profit has little to do with them.
So.
Although the trader could not understand Tang Bao's instructions, he still carried them out resolutely.
The influx of 250 billion yen into the stock index futures market is nothing in the entire capital market, but this amount of money is enough to temporarily disrupt the entire market order, so Tang Bao wants to disperse it in different offshore fund accounts and slowly sell short.
October 18, 1987.
Sunday!
US Treasury Secretary Beck made a startling statement on a national television program, saying that if the Federal Republic of Germany does not lower interest rates to stimulate the economy, the United States will consider letting the dollar continue to fall.
October 19, 1987.
The morning was calm and everyone went to work as usual. Because the US stock market fell sharply on Friday, everyone is optimistic about the US stock market, predicting a recovery after the opening of the New York stock market on Monday, but the reality is always very cruel.
With the bell ringing, the New York stock exchange starts a new day. In the hall of the exchange, people, as usual, quietly looked at the numbers on the big screen, expecting the stock index to rise again, predicted by market analysts. However...... The Dow Jones fell 67 points as soon as the stock market opened.
In the blink of an eye, there was a surge of selling orders.
Under the pressure of the swarming selling, the green disk (falling) was turned up on the trading screen, and the red wave (up) could not be seen.
There was panic in the exchange, people screamed, yelled, screamed, and finally turned into despair, and the whole market was thrown into chaos......
