Chapter 168: Gambling
At twelve o'clock, Mishima Tomomi and Blake and others in front of the computer, continued to pay attention to the trend of Baiju Chinese Network, after the opening of tonight, Baiju Chinese Network trend weakened, the stock price slowly fell to $50.76, and then back and forth.
"It's scary, it's scary, it's quiet over there." Blake took a sip of his beer and said in a deep voice.
"Well, of course, they've raised billions of dollars to be shorted." Mishima Tomomi said lightly.
Jack's face changed slightly: "Billions of dollars? Is the message true? If we bring in all the hedge funds in Japan and the United States, I'm afraid there won't be so many, right? ”
"What's the hurry, the show has just begun." Tomomi Mishima chuckled, "We still have a lot of killer features yet." ”
Jack exhaled and adjusted his mood: "Miss Zhimei, your family has a big business, it doesn't matter if you just lose a billion dollars, but our family can't afford to lose so much money." Jack took a bite of the apple and continued: "In addition, if the Wall Street gang loses money this time, the next time we look for them, we will definitely be closed." ”
"The show is really on." Blake suddenly laughed, "Baiju Chinese Network issued an announcement that the Rolls-Royce in the 4S store is Yang Hua's cousin's. ”
Mishima Tomomi snorted and laughed: "Yang Hua's cousin is an authentic farmer, where did he buy a Rolls-Royce?" It seems that they didn't find out when they made the announcement. ”
Blake took a bite of the Overlord burger, chewed and said: "Not only that, they also said that they would sue Charles, the founder of the 'Pilgrim' Fund, through law in the United States, and the crime was to spread rumors and cause the stock price to plummet." ”
"It's all used in the prosecution, and the 'heavenly road is ......'" Jack's tone was a little worried.
Tomomi Mishima chuckled: "Do you think it's so easy for Charles to become the king of short sellers on Wall Street?" Which of the companies he shorted at that time didn't say they were going to sue him? The result? Not only did the prosecution fail, but the stock price was also cut in half, and in serious cases, it was even directly forced to delist by the SEC. ”
"That being said, it's always right to be careful......"
Affected by the "favorable announcement" released by Baiju Chinese Network, at 12:20, the stock price has risen to 55 yuan a share, and if you buy from today's lowest point, it has risen by 10% at this time.
"Ding Ding Ding ......" Tomomi Mishima's phone rang.
"It looks like the brokerage wants me to make a margin call." Tomomi Mishima looked at the caller ID and smiled.
After a few simple words, Mishima Tomomi hung up the phone, and the securities service staff on the opposite side didn't talk much nonsense, this time the service object is the future heir of Mishima Group, he only needs to simply remind the risk, and there is no need to worry that the other party can't pay.
At this time, in New York, USA, the clouds were thick, and many people who were planning for a rainy day were holding an umbrella in their hands, looking at the sky with solemn faces, as if a violent storm was about to usher in later......
Charles is now in a club called "Compound Interest," which is funded by a number of Wall Street hedge funds, where they hold roundtables every year, even though Charles disdains such meetings.
He found that everyone who came here was pretending to be arrogant or peddling their recent investment ideas.
It is somewhat clear to everyone that the people who come here to talk are nothing more than to make a statement of their position on Wall Street, and they are expanding themselves by exploiting their customers, and Ferrari, Maserati, Rolls-Royce and McLaren seem to be as ubiquitous here as Honda cars on the street.
Charles found that this group of people who graduated from prestigious schools were particularly smart in life, and it seemed that they had a bright future from their attitude towards doing small things.
But as soon as you get to Wall Street......
They were as if they were covered with gauze, as stupid as a blind man.
Once, a fund manager in the hedging industry peddled the idea of going long crude oil futures, and he wanted to reject the gorgeously dressed fund manager who was full of "dung", and despite the emotion on his face, the fund manager still unrelentingly described to him how much profit he would make after going long.
Charles was in a hurry to get out and said, "YES, I'll buy." ”
When Charles left, he asked traders to short crude oil futures, and in just one week, his short position helped him make a profit of $30 million, and since then, Charles has not had any affection for the Wall Street gang.
At this time, a man with short blond hair in a purple suit said: "Thank you for coming to the annual hedge fund roundtable, and we have 15 people here, and I believe we are all the best on Wall Street." After speaking, he looked at the financial "big guys" with a smile. ”
"Okay, let's not talk about it, I don't know if you have any good ideas this time? Lately, the markets have been doing badly. "It was an Indian beauty who spoke, with dark skin but a sparkle in her eyes.
Charles looked at Carrito, who didn't speak because he was waiting.
Normally, many fund managers will keep voicing their views until they can completely prevail over other people's opinions, or they will get into an argument for no reason.
But today, the remaining dozen fund managers looked calm and seemed to agree with what Carrito had to say.
Carrito looked at everyone carefully, and then showed a smug smile: "If you don't have a good opinion, then I have to say my own opinion." ”
The crowd turned their attention to Carrito.
And Charles's eyes revealed a little disdain, Carrito is also a leader in the field of shorting, but ......
Charles used formal methods to research listed companies, and then used media channels to publish news, driving the stock price to plummet.
And Carrito is using the information provided by insiders to short, which is a violation of the U.S. Securities Act to some extent, although everyone knows what Carrito has done.
But none of them dared to laugh at Carrito, because ...... This is Wall Street, a place where as long as you can make money, you are king.
Here the powerful unite and dare to fight against the law, here is a place of greed and desire, where a group of people who yearn for profit gather, they have no sense of law, the only thing that drives them is profit!
Carrito cleared his throat, and then slowly said: "Today's view is to go long on a Chinese concept stock called Baiju Chinese Network. ”
After listening to Carrito's point of view, everyone suddenly looked strange, and they glanced at Charles with their afterglow, because they knew that Charles was the one who recently became bearish on the blank giant Chinese network.
And these two are legends in the field of short selling, and now the two have opposite views, and for a while, everyone doesn't know whose point of view to listen to.
After Charles heard Carrito's point of view, the disdain in his eyes became stronger, originally he thought that Carrito would put forward a better point, who knew that it was Baiju Chinese Network, which was only a garbage stock in his eyes that could no longer be garbage, Charles sneered in his heart, but the surface was very calm, he pretended not to hear anything, quietly looking at Carrito.
Carrito did not notice a trace of disharmony in the atmosphere, and continued to say slowly: "As we all know, Baiju Chinese Network Huaguo Concept Stock, but it is not a simple Huaguo Concept Stock, the company of this stock is a leading novel website in the Huaxia National Stock Market, and according to the information provided by my team, this company occupies a particularly large share in the field of Huaxia Chinese novels, and can defeat almost all other novel websites. ”
After Carrito finished speaking, after seeing that everyone had no objections, he continued: "This company recently recruited two supreme god-level writers from the Big Tree Chinese Network, how can it be compared. Carrito paused for a moment, and then he immediately thought of an apt analogy: "The position of the Supreme God in the field of fiction is equivalent to the status of Warren Buffett in the investment circle." ”
Charles snorted disdainfully, instantly annihilating all the atmosphere that Carrito had just worked so hard to create.
The crowd turned their attention to Charles to see what he was going to say.
Charles gentlemanly straightened the bow he was wearing, and then said in a thick Brooklyn accent: "I'm sorry, it's a little cold this day, and my nose is blocked." ”
Everyone looked at each other, and Carrito's face changed slightly: "I wonder if you have any better suggestions?" And in his heart, he has greeted Charles's family a thousand times.
Charles slowly got up and patted his pants, as if trying to pat the dirt off them, even if he couldn't find even a speck of dust on them.
"I don't have any good advice, I'm sure you're ready enough to refute me." Charles said slowly, "I, the founder of the 'Tenroad Fund', announced here that within a month, if the stock price of Baiju Chinese Network is not cut by 50%, then I will dissolve this garbage company." ”
With that, Charles left the place with graceful steps, even if it was hard to associate with the word "elegant" for his size.
Charles's words suddenly made every fund manager present change their faces, of course they know how powerful the "Pilgrim" fund is, and once sniped at a private bank 50 times larger than their own fund in 08, and through a 100,000-word "negative" analysis report, the bank fell by 95% in three months! The bank was then sued by a large number of investors, and finally the SEC stepped in the case.
At present, he dares to use the future of the entire "Tianlu" fund to bet against the stock price of Baiju Chinese Network, which shows how determined Charles is to short.
Just after Charles left, they took out their mobile phones and told traders that they had set up short positions in Baiju Chinese, and some of the bold ones bought one-month put options without any hedging measures.
