Chapter 12: Plan Ahead

After the Christmas holiday, major companies in the United States have started to open.

At this time.

After the return of the employees of the Phoenix Investment Group, they have gradually entered the right track of work, and everyone ushered in a long-awaited surprise in the anxiety, a year-end bonus distribution plan for the employees of the Phoenix Investment Group in 1986 has been released, and everyone is secretly excitedly guessing how much bonus they can get. Considering that Phoenix Investment is a Chinese company, Tang Bao deliberately set the final payment time of the company's year-end bonus on the day before the Spring Festival, which is much later than other peer companies in the United States.

……

Odyssey and his family had a hopeful Christmas. No, as soon as the vacation ended, he was excited to devote himself to intense work. As a simple logistics staff member of Phoenix Investment Group, his daily job is to send and receive letters, distribute newspapers and magazines to every department, and occasionally act as a cleaner when the company is busy.

Although the salary is not low, Odyssey is far from satisfied......

He will look for any time he can to observe and learn, and even when it comes to discussing investment analysis while other employees are having dinner and chatting, he will prick up his ears and listen attentively. He has no education in the field of finance, it doesn't matter, he can learn slowly.

So.

While everyone else was secretly discussing bonuses, he was holding a financial book to make up for it.

"Hey, Odyssey, come over here."

"Looking for me?"

Odyssey walked over in confusion, pointed at himself, and asked uncertainly.

"Of course you're looking for you! Man, so far, you don't have a bank account in the finance department, I don't know where to send the bonus, and the company is not allowed to give out cash. The person who came was the company's financial officer, and smiled a little teasingly at the Ode Circuit.

"Bonus? Do I have a bonus? ”

"Of course, you are part of the company, of course you can get bonuses. However, you have only been in the company for a little more than a month, and the time is too short, and the money will not be very much. ”

on this.

Odyssey didn't care, he also knew that he was just a logistics staff, and he had just joined the work, and it was already an unexpected surprise to be able to get the year-end bonus, where would he care about the year-end bonus.

This.

The year-end bonus of Phoenix Investment Group is everyone's share, even logistics employees like Odyssey, who have just joined the company, have drunk some soup.

……

1987 year.

The U.S. stock market has ushered in a large wave of bull market, the degree of prosperity far exceeds the development rate of the real economy, and the high returns of the stock market have prompted more idle funds to pour into the stock market, constantly promoting the false prosperity of the stock market. At this moment, the US stock market is rising so fast that countless investors are crazy.

Phoenix Investment Group also made a lot of money in this bull market.

Tang Bao knew that this bull market would soon come to an abrupt end, and made a strong correction to the previous rapid rally, and an earth-shattering storm was coming. Although many analysts in the previous life said that the stock market crash came without warning, in fact, in fact, the stock market has already reacted, and by the end of August, it has already shown signs, but everyone has fallen into endless madness and greed because of the pleasure of the stock rise, and forgot to think rationally.

Only Tang Bao understood.

Many people will have to pay a terrible price for their greed.

"Hey, Horst, come to my office!"

"What? Boss, you said that you want to clean up all the stocks you hold, and the current stock market is very good, and every day of delay may make millions of dollars less. Horst was surprised to argue that he couldn't understand why the boss was selling the stock.

Hear the words.

Tang Bao sighed secretly, fortunately, Horst was working under his hands, if he worked in another fund, he would definitely not be able to escape this disaster. Now Phoenix Investment holds nearly $300 million in stocks, and if Tang Bao does not remind him, this loss will be very heavy.

Alas.

Horst is a very capable fund manager, but at this moment, he is no different from ordinary investors, blinded by greed, and does not notice a very unusual fluctuation in the stock market. "Horst, let me ask you a question, how do you say the stock market is now?"

"It's a great time, a good time to make money."

Tang Bao was a little speechless, he had reminded him like this, and Horst was not at all vigilant. "The stock market looks like it's soaring, but to be honest, I'm not as optimistic about what's going to happen as much as you."

"Boss, what do you mean?" Horst said in disbelief.

"Yes, the stock market looks very promising right now, and all the media are promoting it, but don't you notice that the stock market has been weak lately, and even some stocks have a slight decline in stock prices when they are doing well, isn't that suspicious? You must know that during the Great Depression in the United States, the U.S. stock market seemed to be very similar to the current situation. Tang Bao expounded one by one to support his own point of view, he himself knows that the stock market crash is about to happen, for this reason, he not only wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, but also slowly establish his absolute authority in this field, to gradually build his own right to speak, this invisible financial discourse is the most terrible.

Listening to Tang Bao's words, Horst fell into thought, his brows furrowed slightly, and the two of them were speechless for a while. At this time, the already quiet office could hear the needle dropping, and only the slight sound of breathing seemed to sound out of nowhere.

"Boss, can you determine when the stock market will have problems?"

Horst seemed to be touched by Tang Bao's words, and after a long time, he asked.

"Hehe, I'm not God, how can I know so clearly." Tang Bao said with a joking smile, he knew the time, but he didn't elaborate, one is to keep it secret to prevent leakage of news, and on the other hand, if the time point is directly as accurate as the hour hand, it will be too sensational.

Moisturizing things silently is the king!

After a while.

Tang Bao said, "In this case, you sell all the shares by the end of September, and then make the next move according to the stock market situation, and suspend all investment activities before that." I expect a major crash in the U.S. stock market in the next month or two. ”

"Okay, boss."

Horst replied honestly, he knew that if a stock market crash broke out as Tang Bao expected, and sold the stock in advance, he would not only avoid losses, but also rely on abundant funds to short the stock market, and then obtain amazing wealth. As if realizing that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, a sinister smile appeared on the corner of Horst's lips and added, "Boss, do you have any other special orders?" ”

"Today's conversation is limited to you and me, and I don't want a third person to know." Tang Bao said solemnly.

Call.

Seeing the back of Horst leaving, Tang Bao thought to himself, don't let me down. This conversation is not only an advance deployment for the coming of the stock market crash, but also a test for Horst.
