Chapter 103 Lehman Brothers collapsed, Lu Feng became rich overnight
…
January 25th.
Lu Feng picked up Reba and her family at the airport.
"Lu Feng, I heard that you made a lot of money, why didn't you buy a luxury car?"
Today Lu Feng came to pick up Reba, driving the two-box Focus that his mother used to work, and it was a low-end manual transmission car.
Lu Feng doesn't want to say a word about the interior decoration of the car. He can only say that the car has good power and excellent handling.
After Reba got in the car, she felt a little confused.
Because she knew that Lu Feng had earned nearly a million in half a year. Based on her understanding of Lu Feng's attitude towards spending money, he probably already had a luxury car and a famous watch by now.
"Because there are other places where money is needed more."
Lu Feng said to Reba with a smile, then looked at Reba's father next to him: "Teacher Murati, how about playing together?"
"certainly."
Relying on Lu Feng's Sky Eye, Mr. Mulati's stocks were almost at 6,000 points, the highest point, and he cleared all his positions with one click.
When his colleagues at work learned that he had escaped at the highest point, they did not believe in the nonsense about the stock market reaching 10,000 points and worshipped him as a stock god.
In fact, Teacher Mulati was also a little scared.
Because at that time, if Lu Feng had not persuaded him to clear his positions and analyzed the economic situation with him, he might have been impulsive and continued to increase his positions.
Fortunately, I listened to Lu Feng.
At this moment, not only was he not trapped, but he also made hundreds of thousands of dollars.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Lu Feng and her father were playing a game of charades, leaving Reba confused.
"Don't ask so many questions, kid. Have fun with your mother during the New Year. Dad, Lu Feng, and your Uncle Lu have serious things to do."
Teacher Mulati touched Reba's head and still treated her as a child.
This made Reba very angry.
…
In the next few days, several guests came to Lu Feng's house one after another.
Although his house was quite big, it could not accommodate so many guests, so he booked a few rooms in the hotel next door.
Lu Feng is not at home every day and eats and drinks in the hotel.
On the contrary, Reba and her mother have been living in Lu Feng's house, making Reba feel like a cuckoo in someone else's nest.
"Mom, what are Lu Feng and Dad doing recently? I asked him to go out and play with me, but he said he was busy all day. Dad is the same. He is nowhere to be seen all day. They must be doing something bad."
A bunch of grown men who don't go home but stay in the hotel nearby every day, and no one knows what they are doing.
I called them every day, and they all looked listless or said they were sleeping.
They must be doing something bad at night!
…
"Here it comes, there's news!"
January 29, 2008, evening.
Inside the hotel, a group of men were all sitting behind Lu Feng's computer, looking at the 2007 financial report issued by Lehman Brothers.
"Fake!"
"They must have cooked the books!"
"The US real estate sales index has fallen so much. How can their annual revenue reach 60 billion US dollars? And, there is still a net profit of 4 billion US dollars?"
When they saw the annual financial report released by Lehman Brothers, the group became instantly excited.
Because Lu Feng had predicted all of this.
In the past two years, the real estate market in the United States has been very bad. If Lehman Brothers' income plummets, their mortgage assets will become worthless.
The company might even go bankrupt on the spot.
Even if you use your toes to think, you can understand that these people on Wall Street are now trying every possible means to delay the matter as long as possible.
He deceived the common people with all kinds of favorable news and then ran away secretly.
“It’s gone up!”
"It's rising against the trend, exceeding 65 yuan!"
"Lu Feng got it right again."
"These retail investors are really stupid. In this situation, are there any people who are increasing their positions? Do they really believe the lies of those institutions?"
The group of people looked at Lu Feng as if he were some kind of god.
"Act as planned, short sell 5 times, increase the position little by little, and strive to get above 60 yuan, and short all."
Uncle Biao is directing the traders' actions over there.
He is the main force of this wave.
Because Lu Feng asked him to escape the top at 6000 points, he shorted and made 10 million. Now he took out the 10 million and bet with Lu Feng that Lehman Brothers would explode.
The remaining ones.
Lu Feng took out 1 million.
Reba’s father took 300,000 yuan.
Li Songqiang also took out 500,000 yuan to gamble.
Lu Feng's father did not participate in this activity, he just watched them play silently... Even though he was just watching from the side, he found it very exciting.
…
The following week.
These people are too lazy to even celebrate the Spring Festival. Every night, they watch the fluctuations of the Lehman Brothers index.
"Our cost price was 62 yuan, and now it has dropped to 45 yuan!"
"30% return, with 5x leverage, I've earned 150%!"
Uncle Biao was so excited.
In just one week, while others were celebrating the Spring Festival, he had already earned 15 million.
This made him more excited than when Daolang became an instant hit.
really!
Gambling is so exciting.
Uncle Biao is a little regretful now because the leverage was too low.
If it was a 10x leverage, you might have made 30 million by now!
Lu Feng is relatively conservative. He has estimated that it is basically impossible to get liquidated if the leverage is 5 times. However, if the leverage is 10 times, if something unexpected happens, all the funds may be wiped out in an instant.
When it comes to stock trading, the most important thing is to protect your capital.
Water does not compete for the lead, but for the continuous flow.
Besides, from his perspective as a reborn person, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future and there is no need to go all in at once.
"There's news again. Lu Feng, take a look. It's all in fucking English. I can't understand a word of it."
Uncle Biao now keeps an eye on Bloomberg news every day, and reads the original English version, paying special attention to the words "Wall Street".
“The 10-year Treasury yield has surged.”
Lu Feng took a look at it, then copied it directly into the translation software and got the information he wanted.
"What does this mean?"
A large group of people all rely on Lu Feng to explain to them.
These people were confused when they were making money, but their minds were still clear and they knew who was the real person who helped them make money.
"The surge in 10-year Treasury yields means that the cost of borrowing in the market will also surge. Especially for those banks, they already have a lot of loans. Once the Treasury yields rise, they may be unable to pay their debts at any time."
"In this case, in order to repay their debts, they will most likely sell securities assets first because they have the best liquidity. Next, if nothing unexpected happens, there will be a stampede in the US securities market."
"As long as it is at this time, shorting US stocks is basically a sure win. However, we don't need to move. Lehman Brothers is doomed. We just need to keep an eye on this company."
When Lu Feng said these words, they were particularly powerful and calm, as if everything was under his control.
It’s so cool for a reborn person to trade stocks!
While others are still analyzing tomorrow's rise and fall, the reborn person has already seen the day when the other party will explode.
…
The last few days of the Spring Festival holiday.
As Lu Feng expected, after the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield soared, Bear Stearns Bank was the first to be unable to bear it and faced bankruptcy.
This company holds approximately $400 billion in securities assets, and depending on the situation, it is very likely to sell them off on the market.
As soon as the news came out, it instantly caused a serious stampede.
U.S. stocks plummeted and everyone was scrambling to get out.
The Lehman Brothers positions held by Lu Feng and his colleagues fell to $30 overnight.
Lu Feng looked at his own gains, which had exceeded 250%. His original capital of 1 million had turned into more than 3.5 million.
If you continue playing for half a year, your money will at most double.
Forget it, I don’t want to play anymore.
After all, he was about to attend the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala and couldn't just stay here and watch the market.
Moreover, there are plenty of other opportunities in the market.
“It’s time to close the net!”
During the Spring Festival, a group of grown men stayed in a small hotel every day, while outside it was the Spring Festival and the atmosphere was bustling with activity.
They trade US stocks at night and sleep during the day, living like vampires.
Reba and her mother came to see Mr. Murati, wanting him to go out with them to go shopping, see the West Lake, and visit Yintai, but Mr. Murati was not interested at all.
He came to Hangzhou to celebrate the New Year and stayed for 20 days. When he came, he brought with him 300,000 yuan in capital. Now, he is about to go back, and the money in his card has become 1 million yuan.
How great would it be if every Spring Festival was this great?
"Lu Feng, is your movie "I Want Us to Be Together" still in need of investment? Ask your uncle Li to say hello to Mr. Wang, our company will take care of it!"
Among the people present, Uncle Biao was the most wealthy. He took out 10 million to play with Lu Feng. In these 20 days, it turned into more than 35 million.
In this day and age, the profit for making a youth film is only a few million at most.
For Uncle Biao, it's just a little bit of water.
"Uncle Biao, thank you very much."
For Lu Feng, making movies doesn’t make much money, but it can unlock various mysterious treasure chests in the system. This is an opportunity that is priceless.
As for making money, those who are reborn are afraid of not having the first pot of gold.
After getting his first pot of gold, the market became full of gold for him.
"Lu Feng, next time you see any good opportunities, don't forget to let me know. Uncle Biao is counting on you to help me earn some pension."
This is the second time.
The first time was at 6,000 points, Lu Feng used Li Songqiang’s mouth to remind him to clear his positions!
That time, Uncle Biao was lucky enough to guess right when he was the road wind.
As for this time, he also has some information channels of his own, and feels that the US real estate market is indeed not doing well. Even if he cannot make a lot of money by short selling, he should not lose money either.
However, after playing with Lu Feng for half a month, he clearly felt that this kid was a genius in speculation!
It's like a cheat.
He could almost guess what moves those financial institutions would make.
"Uncle Biao, don't worry. There will actually be another wave of opportunities at the end of the year, but it's too early to say that now. I'll let you know when the time comes."
As soon as Lu Feng said this, the others' ears pricked up.
Is there still a chance?
I originally thought that this kind of opportunity to make money might only come once every few years.
But for Lu Feng, this doesn’t seem to be the case.
"Okay then, I'll wait for your good news."
Uncle Biao laughed heartily, then pulled Li Songqiang outside to chat for a while.
Lu Feng knew that from now on, he would be the real prince of Jiuyu Tianxia. As long as he didn't dismantle the company, he could do whatever he wanted.
From this moment on, although he was still an employee of the company, the boss had to listen to him.
Because he has proved with facts that he can make a lot of money with his boss.
"We have to find an opportunity to get Mr. Wang on board as well."
In the adult world, friendship is only momentary; only interests are eternal.
For Lu Feng, there are too many opportunities to make money, but since he is the only one making money, others will probably become jealous and secretly try to trip him up.
If you want to make it in the entertainment industry, you must make as many friends as possible and as few enemies as possible. This is the right way to deal with things.
He wants everyone to know that as long as they are his friends, they can make money by following him.
Who wouldn't like him?
…
Yanjing.
Today is February 14th, Valentine's Day.
Without their boyfriends, the two sisters Liu Shishi and Yang Mi chose to go out and have fun on their own.
Knowing that Yang Mi could not possibly become her love rival, Liu Shishi relaxed her guard and became good friends with Yang Mi.
Yang Mi realized that Liu Shishi had a close relationship with Lu Feng, and that she might become her boss's wife in the future, so she also wanted to make friends with her.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing. Lu Feng transferred some money to me."
She was fine just now, but when she looked down at her phone, Liu Shishi suddenly stood there in a daze, her eyes suddenly turning red.
Yang Mi thought Lu Feng was stingy, so on Valentine's Day, she transferred a red envelope of a few dollars to Liu Shishi, which made Liu Shishi almost cry.
She was just about to complain that Lu Feng was really stingy, but when she looked down, her eyes widened.
"500,000?"
"He transferred 500,000 to you?"
"How much does he like you?"
When Yang Mi saw the bank text message from Liu Shishi, she was so confused that she almost screamed in the street.
——【Happy Valentine's Day, Liu Haha. Thank you for your special support. I will not let down those who believe in me. 】
In addition to bank text messages, there is also a Valentine's Day text message from Lu Feng.
When Yang Mi saw this, she felt as if a lemon was squeezed in her mouth, so sour.
Sorry, Master Liu.
I also want to have a boyfriend like this who spends money lavishly!
You are a mistress anyway.
I have no right to say anything to you.
