"Actually, the silver model is priced at $1,999 per unit, the gold model is priced at $2,999 per unit, and the titanium model is priced at $8,888 per unit."
"Bao-san, what if I win the lottery but can't afford it?"
"Well... I can resell the spot. Someone will definitely be willing to buy it at a high price."
This time, the press conference lasted for more than three hours, and Bao Junyi was exhausted.
This group of Western media reporters dared to ask anything, such as how many times a night, whether he was willing to have another girlfriend, etc.
Under the protection of bodyguards, Bao Junyi emerged from the crowd of reporters and returned to the Hilton Hotel in embarrassment.
But a war was breaking out on the other side.
Let’s go back three hours ago when the U.S. stock market opened.
Wall Street.
At this time, in the trading room on the top floor of the Wall Street building.
"Maria, contact David Charlesson of Goldman Sachs immediately. Why is there such a large sell-off?"
"Boss, I just tried to contact you, but the landline number is not working."
“What?”
The fund manager angrily asked, "How many shares of Miracle Games do we hold now?"
"Boss, we currently hold 3.89 million short positions, which accounts for 80% of the fund's capital. We've already lost 10%."
Now he knew that such a large sell-off must have been caused by large institutions selling their stocks. Moreover, considering that Miracle Games immediately held a press conference, they must have known something, so they rushed to sell their stocks.
At this point, the fund manager's heart hardened and he said, "Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust."
"The notice has been passed on, clearing all positions for hedging. We are switching from short to long and buying with all our strength to reduce losses."
At this time, the same scene appeared in various large fund institutions on Wall Street, repeating itself over and over again.
Everyone was selling short positions and buying long positions, causing Miracle Games' stock price to take off like a rocket.
However, the scene at the Morgan Building is different.
At this time, Morgan's butler George, Goldman Sachs vice president David Charleson, and several vice presidents of major investment banks such as Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers were all here.
This time, they worked together to short Miracle Games.
First they forced the market to buy, then they forced the market to sell, taking advantage of both the bulls and the bears. However, they never expected that Bao Junyi would end up in the market, which led to an untimely reaction and the return of most of the profits, earning only hard-earned money.
Goldman Sachs Vice President David Charleson said, "Butler George, thank you for your timely reminder this time. Otherwise, Goldman Sachs would have suffered heavy losses this time."
Merrill Lynch said: "Yes, although the profit is taken, it is better than losing the principal."
"Wall Street doesn't know how many more fund management institutions will go bankrupt this time."
Lehman Brothers asked, "You're still worried about them. Have you closed out your short positions?"
"Haha, it's not that easy. I only closed most of my positions. But, with the profits from before, headquarters won't hold me accountable."
Lehman Brothers said angrily, "Huh! We are the only ones who know about this in the end, right?"
"We have only closed 20% of our positions, and we still have 80% of our positions. The market is selling off, and it is impossible to clear the positions."
"What you mean by 'advance and retreat together' is that you should first liquidate most of your positions and then notify Lehman Brothers, right?"
Goldman Sachs' David Charlson smiled bitterly and said, "Thomas, don't be angry yet. It was my oversight. My secretary was busy and forgot about it."
"Haha, Charson, we've been friends for twenty years, right? This time you dug such a big hole, you could bury me alive."
"Is this the excuse you're using to evade me?"
David Charleson said awkwardly: "This..."
Thomas said self-deprecatingly, "I'm definitely not going to be able to escape this time when the group holds me accountable. I don't know which unknown city I'll be exiled to."
"Thomas, we will plead for you."
Morgan's butler George said, "This incident was indeed quite sudden. We all suffered losses. Mr. Thomas, I will use my connections to help you keep your position this time."
Thomas, the vice president of Lehman Brothers, sighed and said, "Thank you. Even if I beg for mercy, my future career will be ruined."
"It's impossible to go any further."
Thomas dragged his decadent body out of the office.
The three people present were silent. After all, they waited until they had almost cleared their positions before telling Thomas the news. Moreover, the market was so small that if one more person knew, their own risk would increase. That was human nature. If a person did not care about himself, he would be punished by heaven and earth.
In the end, everyone tacitly sacrificed Thomas of Lehman Brothers.
Butler George said: "We all underestimated Bao Junyi. His plan is so deep."
"Our Morgan family has gathered clues and compared his business activities to discover that he has already entered the home video game market. Furthermore, Miracle Games was only recently launched."
David Charlesson of Goldman Sachs was surprised: "It's impossible. He's so young."
"This kind of foresight and deep thinking is usually something that only an old fox can set up. How could he do that?"
Joseph, the vice president of Merrill Lynch, said, "Yeah, but he was only a little kid back then. How could he possibly think so far ahead?"
"Haha, don't be fooled by his age."
"Because of his age, the Morgan family has failed twice."
"In fact, I can tell you that his plan goes beyond this."
Several people at the scene were surprised and asked, "What!"
shock!
The two were shocked and curious at the same time. What had he planned?
"You two may not know that our old patriarch Morgan has been keeping an eye on Bao Junyi."
"We even sent a special team to investigate him. The more we investigated, the more we discovered that Bao Junyi was terrifying. He was like a 40- or 50-year-old fox, experienced in the business world and very cunning."
"So, let me tell you two, our Morgan family hopes that Wall Street will stand on our side and resist Miracle Group from entering the US market."
Both of them were silent. They didn't want to get involved in this war.
After all, Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch are both large investment banks in the United States and are commercial enterprises, unlike Morgan, which is a family-owned enterprise.
David Charleson said, "Butler George, we cannot agree to this. We need to report this to the group. After all, we need to be accountable to our investors."
Joseph from Merrill Lynch said, "Butler George, we at Merrill Lynch are the same. However, we can guarantee that we will not provide Bao Junyi with any financial assistance. Merrill Lynch will always stand on Morgan's side on this point."
George knew that this was the best outcome. After all, a Morgan think tank study found that during Bao Junyi's development process, the investment capital continued to double, which would cause the capital chain to be on the edge of tension for a long time, and it could break at any time if not careful.
The convening of several major investment banks this time also cut off Bao Junyi's loan channels in the United States and restricted Bao Junyi's development.
At this time, in the New York Stock Exchange in the United States.
Miracle Games' stock price soared wildly due to the selling and buying of Wall Street fund institutions, and even showed a trend of breaking through $300 per share.
At this moment, shareholders in the New York Stock Exchange were waving their money and shouting excitedly.
