Chapter 91: Thousands of tall buildings rise from the ground

In March, after the first few days of calm, the futures market suddenly began to churn wildly. With the sudden introduction of OPEC's latest bill, coupled with the impact of the difficult Afghanistan war and Iranian nuclear weapons rumors, crude oil prices have skyrocketed, from the original $48.5 a barrel to $95.5 a barrel by mid-March. The increase is as high as 96.65%, which is almost double the price.

At the same time, the gold futures market seems to be unwilling to be lonely, with the successive gold mining accidents in South Africa, resulting in a sharp decline in gold exports, but also triggered a crazy rise in international gold prices, which is almost as crazy as oil. And this growth has not stopped, and by the end of March, gold and crude oil prices are likely to rise to a jaw-dropping level.

The frenzied movements in crude oil and gold have led to turmoil across the futures market. Many investment banks announced their collapse overnight, and of course, some people took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money and laugh. But in general, it is mostly a loss. No one expected this, and Wall Street was in mourning.

Even Warren Buffett was not spared the catastrophe, and his total assets shrank by 10 percent overnight.

And among them, there is a sudden shining star, dazzling that people dare not force their eyes.

Eddie House. The rank-and-file Wall Street employee, who lost his job a few months ago, made headlines in January for shorting the century for $100 million. This time, it has once again entered the field of vision of major financial media. Forrest gump

In February, the terror of more than one billion yuan in gold and crude oil in March was unanimously ridiculed by those in the financial industry at that time. But now, none of the people who laughed at him could laugh anymore, and the only one who could laugh was Eddie House himself.

It has been estimated that when this crazy March is over, Eddie House's super long may bring him more than $3 billion in income, and he will be a billionaire in an instant.

Now, the entire U.S. is in turmoil due to the sudden turmoil in the futures market, and there is a good chance that it will enter the end of inflation.

And in the NBA, there is also no shortage of guys who care about the economic form. This includes the owners of the 30 teams, as well as their general managers and coaches. Inflation will force them to reduce their commitment to the team, so the general manager will have to be more careful when making trades, and the coach may not get the player he wants. Players, on the other hand, can affect their income.

The changing economic situation even affected the team's preparation for a while......

But at this time, late at night, in a café in Cleveland, in a remote and quiet box. Eddie House, a super investor who has just made super profits from the big hole that even Warren Buffett has planted in the financial market, is sitting precariously looking at the young man opposite him who is dragging his chin boringly, gently stirring his coffee, and watching the desolate night scene of Cleveland.

There was a bit of boredom and loneliness in his body, as if he was just a tall ordinary person.

But Eddie House understands what a terrifying energy this young man has. He is just an ordinary investor, and all the investment advice comes from the young man in front of him, his boss. The two successive investments of the century did not make Eddie House get carried away, because he knew that he did not show any so-called "visionary" and "bold" ability in these two investments, but because he faithfully carried out the boss's orders.

The young man in front of him is B

He knew his big name, Zhang Kong. The Cleveland Cavaliers are the center forward, a mysterious young man from China. But he really couldn't understand how Zhang Kong did all this.

Of course, it can't be guessed, no one will gamble with a billion dollars, not to mention that when Zhang Kong asked him to invest, he showed full confidence, which is fundamentally.

"Everything is under control."

"How much did we earn?" Recently, Zhang Kong feels a little sleepy, the NBA has 82 regular season games every season, and the final stage of the game has tested not only technology and ability, but also physical strength and will. Zhang Kong's physical strength is actually quite sufficient, but the god Jīng is already a little slack.

"Although the final result has not been released, according to my calculations, it will not be less than 2.5 billion US dollars. Congratulations, b now you're a billionaire. Eddie House said seriously.

"Oh."

Billionaire?

Zhang Kong was stunned for a moment, a little unresponsive.

Billionaire?

Is it so easy to become a billionaire?

Taking the document handed over by Eddie House, Zhang Kong didn't look at the proper nouns in the column, but only glanced at a few numbers, and the zeros in the column made Zhang Kong look a little dizzy and unreal.

Is this what it's like to be a billionaire?

Zhang Kong looked at his hand and shook his fingertips slightly: "It doesn't seem to have any sense of accomplishment." ”

Indeed, there is no sense of accomplishment.

The money came too easily, and more importantly, it came without surprise. Suddenly filled in countless zeros behind his net worth, and Zhang Kong didn't catch anything except for that unreal feeling.

After pulling out the checkbook, signing his name, he filled in the blank with a string of numbers, and then talked about the check to Eddie House: "It's yours." ”

"Thank you, boss!" Glancing excitedly at the number on the check, and carefully counting the number of zeros on it, Eddie House said gratefully, "You're so good." ”

There is one more zero on it than originally said.

"What do we do next?"

"Oh, next, I want to invest in a little bit of industry." Zhang Kong said thoughtfully: "I need you to help me get two acquisitions." ”

"Okay, boss." Eddie House immediately got up and sat upright.

A smile appeared on Zhang Kong's face, since he has so much money, why can't he let the things I like appear a little earlier, and it can be regarded as contributing to the general public.
