Chapter 478 Crocodile Ronnie

"Has your boss, Mr. Simmons, made up for the missing links in mathematics?" Ronald and Donna were eating hamburgers for lunch downstairs in the company. \u003c/p\u003e

Bannon has already gone to Tokyo, waiting for America's short-term speculators to fall into their trap. Ronald will stay in New York for a few more days and came to chat with Donna today. \u003c/p\u003e

"Well, he asked his former colleague at Berkeley, Professor James Akers, to develop an expanded form of the Leonard-Baum formula for stochastic processes, plus a large amount of data from Wall Street transactions, to find relevant patterns..."\u003c /p\u003e

The Chinese man Ronald and Donna met, doctoral student Xiao Zhang, was not taken seriously by Simmons. After all, he is a quiet international student. However, the information obtained by Donna was the only one among all the subordinates that showed a direction that Simmons did not expect. \u003c/p\u003e

In order to encourage proactive employees like Donna, James Simmons gave Donna a treatment that only formal employees who had worked for more than 2 years could receive, and gave her the right to invest in a hedge fund that was about to be established that uses mathematics to speculate in stocks, with a quota of $600,000. \u003c/p\u003e

The fund's name is Medallion (), and it is currently only open to company employees, long-term investors, and investment funds from several Ivy League schools. Donna wanted to buy shares, but Aunt Karen was not sure about this kind of behavior like being a shareholder when she first started working, so she advised Donna to be cautious. \u003c/p\u003e

So Donna found her rich cousin and asked him to help her. \u003c/p\u003e

"If I invest, who owns the shares? Should I lend you money, or should I hold it in the name of your relative? If I borrow money, how will the interest be calculated?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Hmph..." Donna knew Ronald was joking and hit him with fries. \u003c/p\u003e

"You have the money and I have the resources, how about we start a joint venture?" Donna said after fussing for a while. The rule that everyone in America agrees on is fair dealing. \u003c/p\u003e

"Okay, I'll ask my personal lawyer, Miss Lindsay Dole, to draft the formal document. Don't worry, the legal fees will be mine."\u003c/p\u003e

"It's not that I have any idea of ​​becoming a shareholder, but I personally agree more with it than investing. Mr. Simons's idea was discussed at an internal meeting to employees who are qualified to invest in shares. I have researched it, and no one has found any loopholes in this. It’s a good opportunity, maybe we can get excess returns.”\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald finished the last bit of burger,

Walked Donna upstairs, then called attorney Lindsay Dole and asked her to come over and draw up an investment contract. \u003c/p\u003e

"What's wrong? What happened?" Donna was in the office and saw everyone standing up, as if something big had happened. \u003c/p\u003e

"Look at the S\u0026P Index." A male manager of a fund company came over and pointed at the computer to Donna, then pressed the key to bring up the trading data of index futures. He met Donna when she was on Wall Street, and he was personable. When he saw Donna coming, he was very happy to come over and show his great foresight in front of her. \u003c/p\u003e

"Who is clearing such a large number of short positions in S\u0026P stock index futures?" Donna also clicked twice on the computer. In the short period of time when she and her cousin were having lunch, someone released a huge amount of stock index during this trading period. Short futures order delivery. \u003c/p\u003e

"I don't know if it's that idiot who bought thousands of short orders against the S\u0026P stock index futures in the early stage. Now they are weak and are selling them out like crazy. It seems that someone has suffered heavy losses in other international markets and is now desperately trying to stop the losses." ." The male fund manager foresaw that the market would plummet on Monday, so he bought a considerable number of short orders. \u003c/p\u003e

On Tuesday, his fund made a huge profit of 20%, and he immediately left the market with a profit. He carefully studied the stock market crash of the Great Depression in 1929 and knew that after the market crashed, it would not continue to fall immediately, but would have a temporary rebound and then continue to decline, so he was waiting for the second wave of crash. \u003c/p\u003e

The stock market was relatively calm on Thursday morning, and the trading volume at noon was very small. He went to the office of the fund run by Mr. Simmons next door and had a chat with Donna, a beautiful consultant rarely seen on Wall Street. \u003c/p\u003e

"This number of S\u0026P short orders..." Donna quickly clicked on the calculator. 5,000 S\u0026P stock index futures, at 230 points, is equivalent to... "One billion US dollars? Stanley?" She turned to talk to the fund. The manager confirmed that the number of short orders exceeded Donna's imagination. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hey hey hey hey, who is this idiot? If you run now, won't you cut your flesh and cut your arteries?" Stanley Druckenmiller laughed. Unlike himself, he found all the transaction records of the stock market during the Great Depression. If you study the financial markets of the Great Depression carefully, you will be flying around like headless flies. \u003c/p\u003e

Sure enough, just as he expected, no one took any interest in the 5,000 stock index futures at the price of 230 points. \u003c/p\u003e

Moreover, the opponents all know the weakness of this big crocodile and will kill him until he loses all his underwear. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's 220." After a while, the delivery price dropped rapidly. \u003c/p\u003e

"Still no one takes over?"\u003c/p\u003e

Donna clenched her fists. At this price, the short-selling fund, or multiple funds, would really lose a lot of money. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's 215." Everyone looked at this rare spectacle. Thousands of stock index futures contracts and zero trades. \u003c/p\u003e

"210". \u003c/p\u003e

It took almost a few minutes for a new price to be reached, and the opponent still didn't want to let them go, 205, 200. The numbers were constantly falling, and the losses of the owners of these futures contracts were constantly amplifying. \u003c/p\u003e

"It's 195." Finally, the contract fell below the 200 mark, and someone began to take over the transaction. \u003c/p\u003e

Stanley Druckenmiller was no longer here. He had to go back and try to get his share of the feast of predators. \u003c/p\u003e

Donna didn't know what to say anymore, she just stared blankly at the delivery data on the computer. "Human emotions still have a huge impact on transactions, and procedures are still the most reliable."\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald looked on and knew who the man who lost his underwear was. \u003c/p\u003e

George Solow of Quantum Fund openly declared in the Financial Times that Japan's stock market was artificially high and was about to collapse. Who knows that under the special intervention policy in Japan, the stock market fell far less than that of the New York Stock Exchange. \u003c/p\u003e

The S\u0026P Index broke through Solow's predetermined bottom line. In this dog-eat-dog game, many people relied on stepping on him to escape the fate of liquidation and collapse. \u003c/p\u003e

Solo's short position on Nikkei stock index futures did not succeed. On the New York Stock Exchange, it suffered unexpected losses. We must move the position here to Tokyo and concentrate our efforts on a big one, so that we can make up for the losses and make a big profit. \u003c/p\u003e

Is there any reason why the New York stock market crashed but Tokyo was not involved? \u003c/p\u003e

"Dang, dang, dang, dang..." At the sound of closing, a burst of cheers erupted from Stanley's fund company next door. His fund also achieved a lot of success today. \u003c/p\u003e

Ironically, after Solo sold all 5,000 contracts, the seller's pressure in the market suddenly disappeared, and the S\u0026P stock index futures began to rise again, higher than his original bid of 230, and finally reported Receive 244.\u003c/p\u003e

"Let me make a call." Ronald greeted Donna, went to a partitioned desk, picked up the phone, and dialed Bannon's number who was already in Tokyo. \u003c/p\u003e

"The tiger is out of the cage."\u003c/p\u003e

"I saw that he suffered a lot of losses in order to mobilize funds to short Tokyo."\u003c/p\u003e

"Is Minister Tamura ready?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Don't worry, this is not America. All chaebols and banks will listen to the cabinet."\u003c/p\u003e

"Very good, I will wait for your news tonight and keep in touch." Ronald looked forward to tonight's action. Anyway, with the support of the Japanese cabinet headed by Nakasone behind him, he fought an asymmetrical battle. \u003c/p\u003e

The opponent has already suffered huge losses and is just waiting to make up for it by shorting Tokyo. On his side, his strength is intact and he is ready to ambush him. Just let the chaebol and banks eat the meat, and with the small amount of funds gathered by myself and Bannon, follow Minister Tamura and drink some soup. \u003c/p\u003e

"Choose a codename for the morning's operation, Ronald. I saw in the movie that the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor also had the success codename of 'Tiger Tiger Tiger'."\u003c/p\u003e

"Well, let's have Crocodile Dundee. Solo is a famous short-selling expert, a crocodile that eats other people's flesh. We are like those crocodile hunters in Australia. As long as you shine a flashlight in their eyes, their brains can't It's running, stay where you are and don't move. Let's just shoot it in the head." Ronald thought for a while, isn't Solo known as the financial crocodile? Then come up with the codename Crocodile Hunter. \u003c/p\u003e

"Hahahaha, okay, let's call it Crocodile. If not, let's call Crocodile Ronnie Operation." Bannon flattered Ronald a little, put down the phone and went to supervise the battle. \u003c/p\u003e

"Donna, what do you want to eat? I'll treat you to it." Stanley Druckenmiller sneaked over again. He made a lot of money in the stock market today. It would be perfect to ask such a smart beauty out on a date to celebrate. . \u003c/p\u003e

Ordinary beauties cannot understand their own earth-shattering wisdom in winning in the stock market. \u003c/p\u003e

"I have an appointment with someone else, Stanley."\u003c/p\u003e

Donna pointed toward Ronald. \u003c/p\u003e

"My name is Stanley Druckenmiller, and I am a fund trader." Stanley smiled. He was on Wall Street and became such a number one figure from today on. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ronald, Ronald Lee, I'm a movie director."\u003c/p\u003e

"Let's go together." Stanley heard that he was a movie director, but he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, he was a loser compared to himself. "We can also talk about investing in movies. You know, Wall Street has invested in Hollywood a lot in recent years. There used to be a guy named Bannon who directly became the boss of a movie company. If your movie is good, I can do it too. Consider investing."\u003c/p\u003e

"Hehe", Ronald chuckled inwardly. A smart and beautiful woman like Donna was pursued by many young talents on Wall Street. \u003c/p\u003e

Turning around and seeing the reluctance between Donna's eyebrows, Ronald understood, "No, Donna and I have other investments to discuss. My lawyer will be here soon."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay then." Stanley saw that he still had a troublesome boyfriend. They didn't know his wealth and status. It seemed like he wouldn't be able to get a date with Donna today, but there would be no shortage of beauties. As soon as he turned around, he went out to find the manager of the modeling agency. \u003c/p\u003e

"What a troublesome man." Donna stuck out her tongue at the young talent's back. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald put on a "Don't you care?" look on his face. \u003c/p\u003e

"You don't know, these people have a strong gambling mentality. Their emotions can go from heaven to hell, and they can ride several roller coasters a day. Their ideas are at odds with mine..."\u003c/p\u003e

"Okay," Ronald shrugged, as long as Donna liked it. \u003c/p\u003e

"Ronald?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Lindsay, I'm here..."\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald saw private attorney Lindsay Dole walking into the office with a bag, and raised his hand to greet him. \u003c/p\u003e

Today, the freckles on Lindsay Dole's face seem to be more obvious. She is round and round, wearing a high-end designer windbreaker, but only wears a pair of flat shoes on her feet. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald stepped forward and took Lindsay's windbreaker and hung it up for her. Then he looked at Donna and hugged her to say hello. He put down his bag and began to take out the prepared documents. \u003c/p\u003e

"Eh, you?"\u003c/p\u003e

Ronald noticed that Lindsay Dole was obviously pregnant when she took off her windbreaker. Is she pregnant? \u003c/p\u003e

"Yeah, I'm pregnant, you should congratulate me." Lindsay looked at Ronald who looked surprised and said. The two of them have been in contact on the phone recently for business purposes and haven't seen each other for a long time. \u003c/p\u003e

"Congratulations," Ronald smiled in congratulations, then put away his smile and pretended to have a straight face. \u003c/p\u003e

"What's going on? I thought you would definitely invite me to your wedding. I am your first client, remember?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Hey hey hey, who said I was married?"\u003c/p\u003e

"Then...? Child? Father?" Ronald had only heard of this type of professional woman being a single mother and had never seen it before. \u003c/p\u003e

"You've seen it, Bobby. We talked carefully and decided to give birth to the baby first..."\u003c/p\u003e

"A partner in your law firm?" Ronald was even more surprised. Bobby Donnell was very handsome and worthy of Lindsay. Their abilities were now evenly matched and they were a suitable partner. However, Why don't you get married even if you have children? \u003c/p\u003e

"We have differences about partners and income. Bobby doesn't want me to be a partner and wants me to change my last name. I don't want to, and we are still at a stalemate."\u003c/p\u003e

"Oh..." Ronald thought to himself, so that's it. Lindsay Dole has very strong business capabilities and has many big clients. Her income may be much more than that of Donnell, the nominal boss of the law firm. \u003c/p\u003e

Nowadays, professional women are really powerful. They have differences over property and career development. They don't want to get married unless this difference is resolved. \u003c/p\u003e

But it doesn't hinder the two people's relationship and having children. \u003c/p\u003e

After signing the contract with Donna to invest in the newly launched Medallion Fund, the fund he worked for, Ronald called and ordered a luxury car to take lawyer Lindsay Dole back. \u003c/p\u003e

"Bye, Ronald, bye, Donna." Lindsay was very satisfied today. Not only did she expand Ronald's new business scope, but she also gained a new customer in Donna, who is also a professional woman. \u003c/p\u003e

Speaking of which, Donna's first business was much bigger than the first business Ronald gave her back then. \u003c/p\u003e

"What are your plans for the evening? Do you want to have dinner with me?" Donna asked her cousin. \u003c/p\u003e

"I have other appointments, bye." Ronald declined. \u003c/p\u003e

"Huh...are you going to see that beauty again?" Donna packed her bag, got in the car and drove away. \u003c/p\u003e

Ronald ended up walking on his own to the nearby One World Trade Center, Bannon's new office. \u003c/p\u003e

"Steve"\u003c/p\u003e

"Ronald"\u003c/p\u003e

There is very advanced telephone conferencing equipment here. Ronald, with the help of Bannon's secretary, connected his call in Tokyo. \u003c/p\u003e

They are also waiting for the market to open on Friday to see how Solo's Quantum Foundation will attack. \u003c/p\u003e

"Dangdangdangdang"\u003c/p\u003e

Late at night, the Tokyo stock market opened. \u003c/p\u003e

"Pa", the Tokyo Nikkei Index on the computer showed a jump for the first time after the market opened. \u003c/p\u003e

"We did it, hahaha."\u003c/p\u003e

Bannon’s crazy laughter came through the overseas phone call. \u003c/p\u003e

I didn’t expect that the Japanese government would play such a big role! \u003c/p\u003e

All banks, chaebols, and securities companies frantically bought the constituent stocks in the Nikkei Index after the market opened. Japan Telephone and Telegraph, a giant in the Tokyo stock market, hit the 10% daily limit not long after the market opened. \u003c/p\u003e

"Are we getting rich?" Ronald also didn't expect that the Nikkei Index alone could rise so much. Plus they had the leverage to do long stock index futures. This one was...\u003c/p\u003e

"I'm rich, I'm rich like never before. The crocodile has been killed, tiger, tiger, tiger!" Bannon was already incoherent. After moving to Hollywood, he never thought that he would be able to return to Wall Street so soon and have a proud day. \u003c/p\u003e

When the Tokyo stock market closed, the sky in New York had already brightened. Looking out from the World Trade Center, a sun slowly rose over the sea in the distance, illuminating the largest sea between Manhattan Island and Staten Island. The ship, the Staten Island Ferry, seemed to be covered in a golden light. \u003c/p\u003e

The Japanese stock market, where Solow predicted a major collapse, experienced a single-day rise of 9.3%, setting a record since 1949. \u003c/p\u003e

At the end of the first week of trading after Black Monday, Solow's Quantum Fund, the hedge fund for which he is famous, saw its net assets plummet by 26.2% in one week, which was far greater than the 17% decline in the U.S. stock market during the same period. This was also the first time that Solow's fund exceeded the 20% stop loss bottom line, triggering a large number of investor withdrawal requests. \u003c/p\u003e

Short-term speculators and short-selling experts like Solow, instead of making money in the stock market crash, became the biggest losers in this disaster. \u003c/p\u003e
