My Age of Investment

Li Yikai was stunned by the sudden slap. Looking at the angry Li Huangtai at the door and Yuan Tianfan standing behind the old man, he gritted his teeth and said nothing.

Li Huangtai looked at his little son who was neither a human nor a ghost with a stern expression. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He was already over eighty years old, but he still had to go to the United States to wipe his son's ass. What a misfortune for his family!

Li Yikai didn't dare to look into Li Huangtai's eyes and lowered his head silently.

He knew how big the trap was this time.

This slap from the old man can be said to have woken him up a lot, and also allowed him to fully understand the old man's angry mood at the moment. He did not dare to talk back, let alone fight back, so he had to endure it silently in his heart.

"Go in and talk!"

After saying that, Li Huangtai stopped looking at Li Yikai and walked straight into the room, while Yuan Tianfan followed behind.

After Li Yikai closed the door, he turned around and saw that the old man was already sitting on the sofa in a dignified manner, while Yuan Tianfan was standing upright behind the old man. Both of them had serious expressions, and they had a kind of three-dimensional look. The posture of the court hearing.

"Dad~"

Li Huangtai waved his hand, "Don't say anything. I don't want to listen to your rhetoric anymore. I'll close all the stocks quickly and follow me back to Hong Kong."

Upon hearing this, Li Yikai became anxious and quickly defended: "We can't close the position. Facebook's stock price has almost doubled and will reach the top soon.

As long as we withstand this wave of pressure, we can make back any previous losses. "

"You are just one..."

Li Huangtai wanted to scold him "idiot", but he swallowed it back. Before his wife died, the most worrying thing was the naughty little son in front of her. She repeatedly told herself to take more care of her little son and not let him suffer. Grievance, live happily all your life.

With guilt for his deceased wife, he was very tolerant of his rebellious and paranoid young son, but the result was a complete failure in educating his young son.

He didn't learn a single bit of the boss's poise!

Even if he is not willing to run the company in a down-to-earth manner, he still has a very serious speculative mentality. He only wants to do big things and become famous in one go. I don’t know who I learned this style of doing things that is quick and quick.

From when She Tunxiang merged with Hong Kong Telecom and was finally overwhelmed, to today's short-selling failure in the stock market, after so many years, the youngest son has not made any progress at all.

Li Huangtai turned his face to the side, not looking at his youngest son, and said to Yuan Tianfan beside him: "Tianfan, please say a few words!"

Yuan Tianfan nodded slightly towards Li Huangtai, then raised his head to meet Li Yikai's look for help.

He shook his head helplessly, "Richard, we really can't continue to add positions. This is obviously a deliberate setup by Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and other Wall Street giants, taking advantage of the short-sellers' belief that Wrong judgment that when the stock lifting period comes, the stock price will inevitably fall.

If you insist on continuing to short, the bulls on the side of Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley will definitely add to their long positions again.

If this stock market war continues, more and more investment institutions will join the bullish army.

Even if your father is willing to spare no effort to help you, he can't fight against Wall Street as a whole.

Moreover, Facebook does not have many outstanding shares, so short sellers will face great pressure to cover their shares. "

Li Yikai looked at Yuan Tianfan who was talking to him with complicated eyes. This working emperor was a subordinate that his father valued very much. He once served as the president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and was later hired by his father to the company with a high salary to come here specifically. Help him build his career.

When he made a large-scale acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom, everyone praised him for his fatherly style, and he also gained the reputation of a little Superan. But in fact, the real operator behind it was Yuan Tianfan, and he was just a name.

Yuan Tianfan and he have worked together for twenty years, and they are very good friends.

Now that even Yuan Tianfan has persuaded him to close his position, the investment is probably hopeless.

But when he thought about losing a total of four billion US dollars, Li Yikai felt a little unwilling. After thinking again and again, he made one last effort and said: "The market value of Facebook is about to exceed US$200 billion, and the price-to-earnings ratio is almost 200 times." , if the short side is strong, not necessarily everyone will stand on the long side, right?"

Li Yikai obviously did not expect that AMTD Digital, an investment bank owned by the Li family, would create a "200-fold stock price increase in 17 days." The market value of a little-known company was actually higher than Ali, Penguin, Nvidia, and Facebook. , what is impossible to happen on Wall Street?

Yuan Tianfan sighed: "This is related to the issue of investor confidence. Now that the bulls have gained momentum, who dares to take such a big risk and stand on the short side?

Unless the shorts instantly burst out with a force that overwhelms the bulls in one fell swoop, this may require an investment of more than tens of billions of dollars! It can be called a huge gamble! "

Li Yikai rolled his eyes quickly. With more than 10 billion US dollars in funds... couldn't his family afford it?

The younger son's expression all fell into Li Huangtai's eyes. How could the old man not know what bad ideas this prodigal son was planning, he said coldly: "Don't think about it, I will never invest another penny in this bottomless pit!

Just let it go if you fall into the pit, don't drag your father into it again. "

Li Yikai defended himself with an innocent face: "Dad, that's not what I meant."

Li Huangtai had already become a master, so how could he be managed by Li Yikaihu? His voice suddenly rose and he shouted: "You still haven't realized that this is a trap. Their target is not you, but me! "

Li Yikai was shocked by the news, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Looking at his stupid son, Li Huangtai was completely speechless.

Seeing this scene of lecturing his son, Yuan Tianfan looked a little embarrassed and hurriedly came out to smooth things over, "Mr. Li, this is not necessarily the case! Even if it is really a trap, we just need to avoid it."

A glimmer of light suddenly flashed in Li Huangtai's pair of cloudy eyes, and he said unhurriedly: "I would rather believe that it exists than that it doesn't exist!

One is worth 1 billion US dollars, two is worth 1 billion US dollars... These people are accurate and I will not stand idly by. "

Li Huangtai turned his head, glanced at his younger son who had been completely dumbfounded, and said, "Do you understand now? You are the bait that was deliberately released to catch this big fish like me."

Hearing this, the hairs all over Li Yikai's body stood up. He was just a bait?

Li Huangtai sighed silently in his heart. This time, it was not only his son who was used as bait, but also him.

In order to accommodate his son's withdrawal, he first transferred one billion U.S. dollars to his son, and later invested an additional two billion U.S. dollars.

If he hadn't noticed that the situation was not going well and immediately ended this fueling tactic, he might have been severely weakened by now.

Wall Street is not Hong Kong. If a foreigner comes to someone else's territory, even if it is a dragon, he has to control it.

Therefore, he was ready to give up all the investment of 4 billion U.S. dollars. In order to get the money back, it was not worth losing another 10 billion U.S. dollars.

"I'm willing to admit defeat! I'll break it off!"

Looking at Li Huangtai's sharp eyes, Li Yikai no longer dared to persuade his father to "help his son". If he really cheated his father, who would he find to feed him until he grows old?

It's just that four billion US dollars have been ruined by himself. My father will definitely be disappointed with himself, and his hypocritical elder brother should be proud again.

On the surface, he lost four billion U.S. dollars, but in fact, he lost the inheritance rights of his family property!

When the family is separated, he may have to take a back seat in the old man's mind!

Otherwise, why don't you feel sorry for Noshi first? Only by making the old man happy can she share more of the family property, and can she live the life of a rich wife!

Just as Li Yikai was thinking about how to save his bad impression in his father's mind, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Li Yikai walked over and opened the door and found Mu Zhixin and Jackson.

"Richard, we need to quickly replenish the margin and lower the leverage, otherwise the stock account will be liquidated." Jackson said anxiously.

Mu Zhixin also helped: "For the current plan, we can only continue to ask Mr. Li for help. No matter what, we must keep our principal."

Li Yikai looked behind him and found that his father had heard the conversation and waved to him to bring them in.

Li Yikai had no choice but to bring Mu Zhixin and Jackson into the room.

They were both surprised when they saw Li Huangtai sitting on the sofa.

Li Huangtai glanced at the two of them and greeted Mu Zhixin in Mandarin: "Mr. Mu, long time no see! Are you going to develop in the United States now?"

Looking at Li Huangtai's signature smile, Mu Zhi felt a little guilty. The other party seemed to have something on his mind, because he was still carrying the "Red Sea Capture Document" on his body. If the news of his dealings with Li Yikai spread to the mainland, , will definitely affect the Li family's business in mainland China.

After calming down, Mu Zhixin replied without being humble or arrogant: "The United States is the most democratic country in the world. It is safe and secure to develop here."

The smile on Li Huangtai's face did not diminish at all, he nodded and said: "Yes, Mr. Mu said it well! Are you and Yi Kai cooperating now?"

Li Yikai said bravely: "Mr. Mu is now my personal investment consultant."

"Oh, I see!"

Li Huangtai smiled, looked away from Mu Zhixin, and looked at Jackson beside him.

Li Yikai briefly introduced his father that the Iroal hedge fund founded by Jackson was the securities investment consultant he hired.

Li Huangtai still had a smile on his face, but he had begun to be wary and suspicious of Jackson, and even became suspicious of Mu Zhixin.

These two people are probably the culprits who deceived his stupid son!

"I just heard Mr. Jackson say that he wants to continue to raise margin?"

Hearing Li Huangtai ask this, Jackson did not doubt that he was there and began to analyze the current situation for Li Huangtai.

Li Huangtai listened with a smile, and became more suspicious in his heart.

He can almost conclude that there is a big conspiracy here!

Then he glanced at Yuan Tianfan, who nodded inaudibly and said, "We have decided to end this and close all the stocks!"

Jackson was surprised: "Close the position now? The loss may be an astronomical figure."

Li Huangtai smiled and said: "Mr. Jackson, execute our orders!"

Jackson glanced at Li Yikai, who nodded slightly to him, indicating that he had no objection.

"Okay! This is very regrettable, but I will definitely try my best to reduce losses for my employer."

Li Huangtai pointed at Yuan Tianfan beside him and said: "This is Mr. Yuan, who used to be the president of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Let him deal with the aftermath with you!"

After Jackson said "OK", he shook hands with Yuan Tianfan warmly, and everything seemed very normal.

But Li Huangtai did not take it lightly. Decades of business experience told him that no detail could be ignored.

…………

In the following days, Facebook's stock price started to surge like a wild horse.

Short positions of up to 5 billion US dollars were liquidated, causing Facebook's stock price to rise steadily. First, it broke through 60 US dollars, and then exceeded 70 US dollars. Until it was close to 80 US dollars, a large number of long profit-making funds began to withdraw. , the stock price rise gradually slowed down.

The highest share price of US$78.6 has set a record high for Facebook, and its market value of US$240.516 billion is the highest among US technology stocks, surpassing Microsoft, and also surpassing a large number of giants such as Google, Amazon, and Wisdom Fruit.

When Facebook climbed to the top of the U.S. stock market, Xia Jingxing also counted the spoils of the battle.

In the conference room of Building 40 on Wall Street, Liu Hai gave Xia Jingxing a brief report: "Daxia Capital has invested a total of US$2 billion in long Facebook stocks this time. The average buying price is US$41.4, and the average selling price is US$41.4. The average price was US$74.2, with a total profit of US$1.58454 billion.”

Xia Jingxing said angrily: "Is that so? Li Yikai lost money to his grandma's family this time. I heard that he not only lost US$4 billion in margin, but also lost more than a billion US dollars due to the increase in stock price caused by closing the position.

Adding it all up, the loss is probably more than 5 billion US dollars! "

Liu Hai laughed loudly and gloated: "Since their family is rich anyway, they probably don't care about this little loss. They can earn back by hoarding a few more pieces of land."

Jiang Ping analyzed from the side: "Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley should have made a lot of money this time. Killing one Li Yikai is worth their net profit for a quarter."

"Their plan is to make more money."

After saying that, Xia Jingxing sighed slightly, "It's a pity that this big fish in Lihuangtai has become a sperm. If you don't bite the hook, you will have a fat year this year."

Liu Hai said with a smile: "When Jiang Taigong fishes, he must be willing to take the bait.

Even if Li Huangtai doesn't bite the hook, there's nothing we can do! It's a pity that tens of billions of dollars in cash were prepared in vain, and not a penny was used. "

Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Forget it, I'll find a chance to shave this old turtle next time!"

After saying that, Xia Jingxing directly skipped the topic and talked about the follow-up arrangements.

“After Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley complete their profit exit, Facebook’s stock price should not remain high for long, and soon they will continue to sell Facebook’s shares as originally planned.

Liu Hai, you and your team find a suitable opportunity, buy... 4.25% of the stock, and then put it all into the Pearl Walsh Trust Fund. "

Liu Hai nodded, and then expressed his opinion: "After this battle, short sellers have been scared out of their wits. Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley's subsequent cash-out plans should be carried out much more smoothly, and the stock price may not be as good as ours." It fell into the dust as expected, which caused a lot of trouble for our bargain hunting work.”

"It's okay, just forget it if the stock price keeps falling! Just enter the market to buy the bottom when it's about thirty dollars."

Xia Jingxing was also a little confused as to whether he had made a profit or a loss. Originally, he had planned to enter the market to buy the bottom when the stock price fell to twenty dollars, or even ten dollars.

But when Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley did this, all the arrangements came to nothing.

Fortunately, when Zaili Yikai was a big short seller, they got a share of the pie, which should be able to make up for the hidden losses of lower-than-expected bargain hunting.
