Chapter 214 Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, and the opportunity to get rich overnight came again!
…
Yang Mi’s plan is very good.
But plans can never keep up with changes.
On the morning of September 11th.
Lu Feng was working on the crew, but every once in a while, someone would call him.
When it was almost time to get off work, Mr. Cai, the boss of Tangren, even came over in person.
After Lu Feng finished filming the last scene, Boss Cai hurriedly pulled Lu Feng aside, looking very excited.
"Lu Feng, have you watched the news?"
"What news? I've been so busy filming lately, how can I have time to read the news?"
Lu Feng looked confused.
In the past few days, there have been more night scenes. I don’t know if it was reported by Yang Mi... In short, Lu Feng hasn’t gone out to hunt with Liu Shishi for several days.
"Oh!"
Boss Cai was so angry when he saw Lu Feng was totally unaware. He said hurriedly, "The news this morning is that Korea Development Bank has terminated the negotiations to acquire Lehman Brothers. The share price of Lehman Brothers plummeted by half last night."
It turned out to be today.
Although he is a reborn person, Lu Feng is not a robot, so it is impossible for him to remember everything.
Otherwise, what's the point of being a star?
It’s better to go stock trading every day.
Even Buffett has to call him grandpa.
"How can you be so calm? Lehman Brothers Bank is going to collapse. Your prediction has come true!"
The prediction about the collapse of Lehman Brothers Bank was made by Lu Feng when he was bragging to Uncle Biao last winter.
Then, when the annual report of Lehman Brothers Bank came out last year, Lu Feng brought a large group of people to a small hotel in Hangzhou, hiding during the day and working at night, and shorted the stock for half a month.
Everyone made several times the money.
Moreover, Lu Feng also predicted that Lehman Brothers Bank would definitely die and would not survive this fall.
As long as the United States continues to raise interest rates, the real estate mortgage bonds held by Lehman Brothers will become insolvent.
Now, all this has become a reality!
Lehman Brothers Bank released its third quarter results, showing that the company suffered a huge loss of $3.9 billion last quarter.
Lu Feng’s prediction came true completely.
At this moment, Boss Cai looked at Lu Feng as if he was looking at a walking money printing machine.
She had heard from others that Lu Feng was extremely smart, especially his business sense, which was as sharp as a hyena.
In the past, she was a little bit unconvinced and thought it was too realistic.
But this morning, when she saw the news, she completely believed it all, and even felt that Lu Feng was even more awesome than the rumors said.
Since Lu Feng’s prediction has come true, does that mean that Lu Feng can do another super short selling and make a fortune?
Take her to play together!
She has already prepared the capital.
As soon as Lu Feng saw Boss Cai’s eyes glowing green, he knew what she was thinking.
But Lu Feng would not play this kind of tail market.
The risk is very high.
As he packed his things, he said calmly, "First of all, the fact that Lehman Brothers Bank will go bankrupt is not a prediction. It is my own reasonable inference based on reality."
"Secondly, there are already countless short-selling institutions besieging Lehman Brothers. With so many sharks eyeing a small piece of meat, small players like us should not go in at this stage, or we might be swallowed up."
"Of course, the biggest reason is that there are regulations for the U.S. stock market. When a stock falls by more than 10% on a given day, short selling is automatically prohibited within three days."
After listening to what Lu Feng said, Boss Cai immediately sighed.
When she saw the news this morning, she was very sure that Lehman Brothers was doomed!
She wants to short sell too!
What a pity that this damn US stock market has such a crappy rule!
It’s fallen too much and I can’t short sell?
Three days later, Lehman Brothers Bank might have gone bankrupt.
Our A-share market is still better. We can borrow securities and short sell at any time. Stocks are T+1, but stock index futures are T+0. The rules are not synchronized, which can really kill small retail investors.
Moreover, U.S. stock index futures are settled quarterly, which is too slow.
Unlike our A-share market, index futures options are settled twice a month.
If I were a short-selling player, I would definitely crash the market on the settlement day and let the small retail investors pay the bill!
"Boss Cai, don't sigh. I have already found the target. This is the target I have chosen for a long time, and this time it is just giving us money."
Lu Feng appropriately threw out a little sweet treat.
"It's good to have you say that."
Boss Cai was afraid that Lu Feng would not take her to play, so when she heard Lu Feng's promise, she immediately felt relieved.
She whispered beside him with a very regretful expression: "It's a pity that we Tangren have only been making TV series and don't know much about the film industry. Otherwise, if you want to make a movie, I will definitely support you here."
Lu Feng thought about it for a while, and then an idea came to him: "Boss Cai, you are very familiar with the film and television circles in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Can you introduce me to a reliable film executive director? At most, I can give you a little more directing fee."
It is absolutely impossible to co-sign.
Lu Feng provided the money, the script, and the connections... The production company relied on President Wang to bring in the team from the Shanghai Film Group to start work.
Just an executive director comes to help coordinate the filming, and he also wants the right to be credited?
You’re thinking too much!
"No problem. Leave it to me."
Lu Feng thought that Boss Cai would hesitate for a moment, but unexpectedly, she agreed without saying a word.
This made Lu Feng a little confused, and he couldn't help but add: "Boss Cai, I only want the elite. Don't use those little bastards and dead losers to fool me."
"Don't worry, I won't fool you even if I fool anyone."
Boss Cai reassured Lu Feng.
When it comes to short selling and finance, she is a rookie and certainly doesn't have as unique a vision as Lu Feng.
However, she is a veteran in the film and television industry and knows many people.
Directors in Hong Kong and Taiwan have also been affected by the financial crisis recently and have been working less and less.
People also need to eat.
When they really have no food to eat, forget about asking for the right to be credited, it would be no problem for them to kneel down and call Lu Feng their godfather!
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."
Lu Feng didn't expect that there would be a ray of hope after all the darkness.
Even Mr. Wang couldn't handle the executive director's job due to his reputation, but Boss Cai took on the responsibility.
In the capitalist world, people are promoted based on seniority, and money is the only thing that matters. This obsolete system must be criticized.
But sometimes, you can take advantage of it.
…
besides.
Boss Cai asked Lu Feng not to go back to live there for the next few days. She arranged a luxurious suite for Lu Feng in Tangren’s small white building.
Because, in the future, more and more partners will come here.
This is all Lu Feng’s own fault.
At the beginning, he had boasted to countless people that Lehman Brothers was doomed to fail.
Once Lehman Brothers collapsed, there were countless opportunities to make a fortune.
Now, the opportunity has arrived!
Let’s not talk about other people for now. Li Songqiang, Uncle Biao, Mr. Wang and the others must be unable to hold back at this moment. They will ask for leave and come to find Lu Feng to discuss the next plan.
…
September 12th.
That morning, Lu Feng had just arrived at the crew to start work and had just changed his clothes when Yang Mi shyly came to find Lu Feng.
"Sora, today is my birthday and I want to treat you to a meal. Can you please do me the honor?"
Yang Mi felt that with Lu Feng's personality, he would most likely agree with a smile, and ask her what birthday gift she liked, and then he would buy it for her after work!
Lu Feng has always been very generous to his own people!
"I'm afraid that won't work."
Who knew that Lu Feng hesitated for a moment and actually refused.
This made Yang Mi furious.
It's my birthday, so I invited you to dinner alone, and you dared to refuse?
Don’t I have any face?
"Why?"
At this moment, Yang Mi gritted her teeth, feeling extremely aggrieved.
Do you like Liu Shishi so much?
Isn’t it enough to go out and hang out with Liu Shishi every night?
Today is my birthday, and I want to cook a meal for you to show you that I also have the potential to become a stovetop chef!
You actually refused?
Didn't even give me a chance to perform!
You are such a mean person!
"Uncle Li, Uncle Biao, Mr. Wang, and my dad are all coming over tonight... Boss Cai has already made arrangements for us to have a small gathering at the Tangren Xiaobailou."
Lu Feng speaks the truth.
What get-together?
It was obvious that they saw that Lehman Brothers was going to collapse, so they came over one by one to discuss their next plan to make money!
Except for Boss Cai, the rest of these people are Lu Feng's relatives and friends, and benefactors in his career. Since there is an opportunity to make a fortune, Lu Feng will certainly not forget them.
This is how circles are formed.
In the adult world, how can there be so many emotions to talk about?
As long as Lu Feng can help them get rich, they will naturally take care of Lu Feng as if he were their eldest son. If there are good film and television resources, they will unconditionally let Lu Feng choose first.
When promoting the product, they directly gave Lu Feng the highest salary.
Otherwise, why would Jiu Yu Tian Xia spend so much money to help promote the MV of "Preference" that Lu Feng shot for Crab Roe Su?
They are just waiting for Lu Feng to help them get rich!
In fact, it is equivalent to them using the resources of the entertainment industry to exchange Lu Feng for the opportunity to bring them to play with finance... and Lu Feng himself does not have to pay, the leeks in the market will help him pay.
It’s like a win-win situation!
Lu Feng can win twice!
"Uncle Lu, is he coming too?"
When Yang Mi heard that Lu Feng's father was also coming to Hengdian, her eyes turned and she began to think about it.
She thought, could she take this opportunity to win Teacher Lu's favor?
Lu Feng seemed to understand Yang Mi's thoughts and said with a smile: "My dad will stay for a few days, mainly to discuss with me the product line and development model of the new company."
If Lu Feng was just an ordinary little star, his father certainly wouldn't ask such a professional question.
However, Lu Feng single-handedly brought the Crab Roe Crisps to ruins.
This made his father no longer dare to underestimate Lu Feng, and he even felt that with Lu Feng's help and advice, his nut business would definitely take off.
"Wait a few days..."
Seeing Yang Mi lowering her head and wondering what she was thinking, Lu Feng gently squeezed her little hand and said, "I'll take you to meet my dad to discuss the promotion plan for the nut business."
Since MVs can be used as advertisements, with lower costs and better effects, Lu Feng can certainly continue this approach in the new company’s marketing plan.
You can still find Yang Mi as the mv heroine!
In the previous MV, the Crab Roe Crisp company was sold by him and the money was used to treat Yang Mi’s eyes… The next MV could be about this young couple making a comeback and getting involved in the nut business.
As long as the story is beautiful and the love is sincere, the Nut brand will surely take off like the Crab Roe Crisps!
Moreover, by the time "Chinese Paladin III" is broadcast, the two of them will be a hundred times more popular than they are now!
The advertising effect of the mv can definitely be better!
"Lu Feng, I'm afraid your father doesn't like me..."
Yang Mi raised her head and quickly glanced at Lu Feng, then lowered her head, pretending to be nervous, and said something in a low voice.
In fact, she was not nervous at all, and was even very much looking forward to it.
Meet the parents!
Finally defeated Liu Shishi!
Liu Shishi, this damn mistress, definitely doesn't have the courage to meet her parents.
"No. My dad likes you very much."
How can I not like it?
The MV shot by Yang Mi and Lu Feng made Crab Roe Crisps popular. Now, the company’s valuation is almost over 100 million.
Although, Lu Feng's father has no shares in the company.
But Lu Feng’s 80% shares are real.
How could the father not be happy when he saw Yang Mi helping his son make so much money?
Of course, my dad also likes Yang Mi very much because he loves her.
In Lu Feng's father's eyes, Yang Mi is a lucky and lucky actress. A few days ago, he called and asked Lu Feng to cooperate more with Yang Mi.
"Then when you are done, remember to bring your uncle to my house and have a simple meal together."
Yang Mi was furious just now, but at this moment, she suddenly became as gentle as water. She looked at Lu Feng shyly, then quickly turned her head away.
In the dark, she held Lu Feng's hand and gently grasped his palm.
Seeing Lu Feng looking at her, she smiled, lowered her head, and ran away shyly. When she ran behind a small tree, she couldn't help but look back at Lu Feng.
What a cute little fox.
…
That evening.
Several cars came to the Tangren small white building.
Except for Lu Feng's father who drove a broken Volkswagen, the worst that everyone else drove was a small BMW.
In a private room at Tangren, Lu Feng took his father aside and introduced them to him one by one.
"Dad, let me introduce you."
"This is Uncle Biao, the big boss of my company. This is Uncle Li, my agent. I can get to where I am today thanks to Uncle Li's help and Uncle Biao's kindness."
Uncle Biao is really willing to spend money.
At the beginning, Lu Feng's MV for "The Guest" directly spent millions of dollars on marketing. If Uncle Biao hadn't nodded, Li Songqiang would definitely not have had the authority to do so.
Facts have also proved that Uncle Biao has good vision.
After spending enough money on marketing, Lu Feng became famous all of a sudden.
Moreover, Lu Feng also returned the favor and made tens of millions by short selling with Uncle Biao.
As time went by, the interests of the two became increasingly closely bound together.
A few days ago, Uncle Biao asked Lu Feng, Bona Film Group is raising funds again, can he make money by investing in this?
His classmate Yu Dong from Tsinghua University's CEO Program called him again. His company was looking for financing and he wanted him to invest a little. He was definitely not a scammer.
Lu Feng told him to go for it without any worries, Bona Film Group would definitely make money. But as long as the company went public, it must be cashed out immediately, and making 10 times the profit would not be a problem.
When he came just now, Uncle Biao told Lu Feng that he followed Lu Feng's advice and spent 30 million to get a 15% stake from Bona Film Group.
He also joined the board of directors of Bona Film Group.
In addition, Uncle Biao also asked Lu Feng if he was interested in filming a movie in Hong Kong Island?
Bona Film Group and Investiture Entertainment collaborated to create a project called "Overheard", in which the three main characters are Liu Qingyun, Louis Koo, and Daniel Wu.
If Lu Feng is willing to go, the screenwriter can give him another role, making it four male protagonists.
Lu Feng was very moved by what he said.
As a resourceful person, the experience is just great. With just one sentence, the three kings of Hong Kong Island join hands to take him flying.
But Lu Feng thought about it and gave up.
This is because his current acting skills are not good enough to compete with these three people. If he were to make a movie with them, it is highly likely that he would not get any good reviews.
Moreover, three protagonists are already very crowded for a 90-minute movie, and adding a resource-rich actor to the mix will most likely make it a bad movie.
By then, he will definitely bear all the criticism, which will affect his popularity among the public.
It's totally a thankless task!
…
Dad had a drink with Uncle Li and Uncle Biao, and Lu Feng turned around and introduced Mr. Wang to him.
"Dad, I want to introduce this beautiful lady to you. She is Mr. Wang from Shanghai Film Group. I was able to play the second male lead so quickly, thanks to Mr. Wang."
Just as Lu Feng finished speaking, he was interrupted by General Manager Wang, who pretended to be unhappy and said, "I have told you so many times that you are not allowed to call me General Manager Wang after get off work. You make me sound old. Call me Sister Shan."
Anyone with eyes can see that Mr. Wang likes Lu Feng.
Who made Lu Feng so competitive?
Mr. Wang just gave him some resources, and Lu Feng took off immediately and even made it to the CCTV Lantern Festival Gala.
The group of veteran artists from the Shanghai Quyi Association also particularly like Lu Feng.
This earned Mr. Wang a series of praises at the group headquarters.
The group leader has already hinted to Mr. Wang that once an old guy retires and a position becomes vacant, Mr. Wang can take over as the first replacement.
After introducing Mr. Wang, it was Mr. Cai's turn.
"Dad, this is Mr. Cai from Tangren, a senior whom I admire very much. Thanks to Mr. Cai, the project of "Chinese Paladin III" was launched. Otherwise, I would not know that I look so handsome in ancient costumes."
Lu Feng boasted about himself.
It was at this time that everyone felt that he was still a young man.
Otherwise, it would seem that he looks old-fashioned, but in fact he is the same age as the others present.
Actors such as Liu Shishi, Hu Ge, and Tang Yan were not qualified to enter the box to eat.
The people in the box today are either company executives or capitalists.
Because apart from eating, the main purpose is to make money together.
"Uncle Biao, Uncle Li, Boss Cai, and Sister Shan, you are all here today. I believe you all know why... That's right, Lehman Brothers Bank collapsed, and the subprime mortgage crisis was bound to happen."
“We have another good opportunity.”
Upon hearing this, everyone became excited.
For others, the financial crisis was a disaster.
But for people like Lu Feng who like to short sell, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make a fortune.
"After a period of research, I chose the one with the highest security among countless varieties."
"Everyone, please look..."
Lu Feng turned on his laptop, turned off the lights, got a projector, and projected his choice directly onto the wall.
