Chapter 498: Drill
The current evil dragon fund is not like before, and it is not the time when there were only three or two kittens like before, and it is not the time when they hid everywhere for fear of being caught.
Since Yang Jing decided to start moving to the forefront, the entire Evil Dragon Fund has completely changed.
In the past, the dragon fund was rich and did not dare to show, but now it has various conditions that match its wealth, whether it is office conditions or staff, the dragon fund now has the prototype of a large fund, and with the development of time, the dragon fund is becoming more and more powerful, and its reputation will become bigger and bigger.
Of course, the real evil dragon fund is still hidden behind the scenes, and at the top are seven offshore companies dominated by KY investment funds.
Whether it is Henry Williams or David Anderson, although the real identity is the CEO and chief investment officer of the Dragon Fund, their external identities are the CEO and CIO of KY Fund respectively.
As for the office location, it is located on Wall Street, the heart of the global financial community. At the beginning of the year, Yang Jing spent $27 million to buy two floors of an office building on Wall Street for office, and now the two floors are full of office workers. Among them, there are no less than forty traders.
Now that you have decided to reveal your identity, the KY Investment Fund should have the appearance of a large fund. The least trader is absolutely indispensable.
However, among these traders, there are very few who can really access the core secrets. Cesar Cook is now scouting more than 40 traders, and his team needs to be expanded, as the scale of speculation is getting bigger and bigger, the team of only five people is already a little stretched, so it is Cesar's main task to properly attract new blood into Cesar's team.
After two speculative operations and great success, Cesar's team is now a very mature trading team. Although the five of them came to Wall Street at the beginning of the year and came to the headquarters of the KY Fund, the five of them have rarely participated in the operation of the fixed investment of the KY Fund for most of the past six months, and they have cooperated with Henry Williams to speculate on the large-cap stock index of the US stock. As for Williams' team of traders, it operates on stocks in other major global stock indices and the US stock market.
From February to September, Cesar's team used $2 billion in principal to make a solid net income of $9.6 billion, compared to Henry Williams's trading team speculating on stock indices in other major stock markets around the world for most of the year, and the $5 billion principal was only $9.2 billion in net income.
In contrast, high and low judgments. This also gives Cesar's team a transcendent position in the KY investment fund.
The financial market is a battlefield without swords and swords, and financial speculation itself is a zero-sum game, so on this battlefield, there is no such thing as a tie, and there is only an invisible life and death - very, very cruel.
Cesar's team was able to do such a good job, which greatly surprised Henry and David, and it also made the two of them understand that their mysterious boss is really unfathomable.
Because in the past six months, Cesar has mentioned to Henry and David more than once how they grew up. It is no exaggeration to say that the main credit for the rapid growth of Cesar's team lies with the mysterious boss.
As for Mike Aller, like a Lafayette, he observes everyone with a calm eye every day. Who can do it and who can't, and who can stay in the KY fund in the end, is ultimately the one who has followed Yang Jing the longest.
You put Mike Ale in finance, and he's half a Pacific Ocean away from Henry and David, and likewise, if you put him in finance, he's a lot different from Amanda Petrus. But if you want to talk about people's eyes, Amanda, Henry, and David are not as good as Mike Aller combined.
Don't look at Henry's previous role as the chief human resources officer of Lehman Brothers, but Mike Aller's vision is more like a talent, a talent that is extremely difficult to be surpassed, plus he has been doing this in the past few years, so he is now doing better things in human resources than Henry at the beginning.
Sometimes even Henry said that Mike should not have chosen to be an accountant back then, and if he had chosen to be a human resources person, he would definitely become a big figure in the industry.
Although Mike Ale does not hold any position in the Dragon Fund, he is the second largest shareholder of the Dragon Fund, and the most important thing is that he is deeply trusted by Yang Jing, and he is also the most familiar with the Dragon Fund, even more familiar than Yang Jing, the boss.
Just kidding, the Dragon Fund was set up by Mike Ale, can he not be familiar with it?
With Mike Aller in charge, Henry and David's cooperation, and Amanda's overall oversight, the work of the Dragon Fund has been carried out extremely smoothly.
This is also what Yang Jing hopes to see the most.
Although he is the real boss of the Evil Dragon Fund, if you let him manage it, firstly, he is not that material at all, and secondly, in order to reduce the probability of space-time paradoxes as much as possible, he cannot be too involved in some things in this space-time.
Therefore, every time Yang Jing returns to the Evil Dragon Fund, he is the actual chief investment officer of this fund! And he is also the kind of investment officer who has no fetters - everything is up to him, and all the resources of the entire fund must cooperate with him unconditionally.
This is definitely the most comfortable CIO in the world.
But no one will say that there is anything wrong with this. Cesar's team's record in the past half a year has made the entire Dragon Fund look up to them, but Cesar's team is most convinced by the big boss Cole Smith.
Now, the combination of Yang Jing + Cesar's team is sitting in the most luxuriously renovated trading room, and the eight members of Cesar's team are staring at the computer screen.
After more than half a year of screening, Cesar added four more traders to the team, thus increasing the number of players in the team to nine in one fell swoop. As the boss of the team, Cesar usually doesn't do it himself, just like today, he just stood behind these traders with Yang Jing and gave a series of instructions.
"BOSS, if it weren't for your strong request, I would really be reluctant to close the position in such a good situation. Cesar hugged his arms and smiled.
Yang Jing glanced at him and said angrily: "Can't you see that something is wrong with the market? ”
Cesar shrunk his neck, "Saorui, boss, how could I not see that? I was just joking." ”
The current time is October 5th Eastern Time, and there are only five days left before Yang Jing's limited October 10th day. However, because October 10 was a Saturday, there were actually only four trading days left for Cesar and them.
"There's no need to joke at this time, Cesar, inform them that it's okay to go backhand short now. ”
"Short now?" asked Cesar, surprised. Obviously, there is still a discrepancy between Yang Jing's words and his judgment of the U.S. stock market.
"That's right, now you can go backhand short. Don't you see that since last Friday, the market has formed two yin crosses in a row? What does this mean, can't you see it?"
Cesar stared at the computer screen for a moment before giving the order with a shameful face.
Henry and David next to him also looked at the computer screen with a solemn face, and shook their heads helplessly for a long time. If it weren't for Yang Jing's reminder, they really wouldn't have considered anything else. But after Yang Jing's reminder, they also realized that something was wrong.
At this time, the U.S. stock market has been sideways for two trading days between 2638 and 2647 points, and there is a weekend in between.
On Cesar's orders, eight traders began to open short positions around 2640 points. Eight people controlled hundreds of accounts from all over the world and began to open positions in batches.
Counting the profit and principal in the first half of the year, the evil dragon fund has invested a total of up to 30 billion US dollars in this global stock market crash. Of course, not all such a huge amount of money is used in U.S. stocks, if such a huge amount of funds are all used in U.S. stocks, even U.S. stocks can't stand it, and it is estimated that no securities company dares to take such a large short order.
Yang Jing is ready to invest a full $10 billion in the US stock market, of which $2 billion will be used to short the US stock index, and the remaining $8 billion will be used to buy stocks, and the amount of this fund will increase at any time if necessary.
The remaining $20 billion will be distributed among the major stock markets of other countries around the world, which are the main battlegrounds for earning major profits.
In fact, the stock market crash in 1987 was not without signs, as early as more than ten days before the stock market crash broke out, this kind of signs have already appeared, but few people would have thought that it would trigger a stock market crash that swept the world.
The reality is that after the trading day on Monday, October 5, on Tuesday 6, the Dow Jones index fell sharply, from 2638 to 2572, then on Wednesday it pulled a black cross, and on Thursday it continued to fall to 2516 points.
Of the nine trading days from October 6 to October 19, only two trading days, October 12 and October 13, recovered, and then from Wednesday, October 14, the Dow Jones began to slide on Wednesday 14 due to rumors of the removal of financing tax incentives on Wall Street, a higher-than-expected trade deficit in August, and continued weakness in the US dollar.
By Friday, the last trading day before Black Monday, the Dow Jones had fallen 9% in just three days, but this still did not attract the attention of many investors, who still had great hopes for US stocks.
But the truth is so ruthless that just one weekend later, as soon as Monday arrived, the US stock market brought a disaster to investors around the world.
Although there are still nine trading days until October 19, Yang Jing knows very well that the Dow will be out of control from tomorrow.
After all, from 2,638 points to 2,246 points before the stock market crash, there was also a drop of nearly 15%! And starting to short now can be regarded as a rehearsal before the stock market crash!
