rebirth from small pockets

Chapter 575 Invitation to Auction

"BOSS, what do you mean by Mr. Liu?"

“Is he really going to follow us and short the Nasdaq?”

The dinner ended quickly. When the boss Liu sent the driver to take Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing back to the hotel, Mu Xiaoqing couldn't wait to ask.

Naturally, she had urgent reasons. After all, big guys like Mr. Liu started shorting Nasdaq. Maybe it would trigger a corresponding chain reaction.

Although this chain reaction may be good news for those who are also shorting Nasdaq, the chain reaction brought about by such a big boss may also have the opposite effect!

For example, according to Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing's previous predictions, the Nasdaq index is expected to fall below 2,000 points this time, or even lower.

But what if Liu, the big man, is halfway through his short position and suddenly feels that the Nasdaq index has fallen to the bottom, and then he will take advantage of the trend to buy the bottom.

This change may lead to unexpected outcomes in the capital market.

Although Mr. Liu may not have a lot of funds, at least it is nothing to the entire capital market, but the problem is that this guy is too famous in the Hong Kong stock market, and this guy is very good at taking advantage of it.

The pressure of public opinion creates an advantage for oneself.

The reason why this guy was called a stock market sniper in the first place was because he was so good with this skill!

If this guy feels that Nasdaq is at the bottom, he might just make a big bargain and make some noise.

Of course, to be honest, Mu Xiaoqing doesn’t think Mr. Liu can leverage the huge impact of the bursting of the Internet bubble, but... what if?

In the capital market, sometimes an accident may cause huge changes, so Mu Xiaoqing was a little worried.

Because she knew very well that although her boss was a very nice person and even very courageous, he might be a little more cautious than others in terms of personality.

Hmm. Okay! You can't let Mu Xiaoqing say that your boss is timid, right?

And to be honest, Mu Xiaoqing doesn't think her boss's personality is bad. She has worked in the financial industry for many years and has seen too many people fall down in the ups and downs of the capital market because of their confidence.

But this time, Mu Xiaoqing still misjudged Chen Li.

"It doesn't matter, let him go short!"

"There are many short sellers now, and he is not the only one left behind!"

Chen Li replied casually, but his attention was focused on an invitation in his hand.

The reason why Chen Li seems so confident this time is naturally because he knows that the current US stock market cannot be saved by a big boss Liu.

Not to mention Big Boss Liu, not even Bill Gates and Buffett can save him.

Speaking of Buffett, Chen Li really admires this old man, because the Internet bubble crisis in 2000 did not affect him at all.

Before the Internet bubble burst, Buffett was criticized for his distrust of Internet technology stocks.

You know, that was when Internet technology stocks were at their craziest, and it was also when the Internet bubble was gradually growing.

Countless people have become rich because of Internet technology stocks, but Buffett, who is regarded as the god of the stock market, does not trust Internet technology stocks.

This makes many people think that Buffett is old, and many people even think that Buffett is useless.

Then when the Internet bubble burst, the same group of people suddenly felt that Mr. Buffett was simply amazing, and a bunch of people began to worship Buffett again.

Therefore, although Buffett is not as magical as in many novels and news reports, this old man does still have two skills.

But even after the Internet bubble crisis emerged, he actually expressed his optimistic intentions for the U.S. stock market, which had already fallen badly at that time. However, the capital market environment at this time was no longer something that anyone could save.

The only thing that can save this financial turmoil is time!

Yes, it’s only time, because even though the United States worked overtime to print dollars, it still took Nasdaq a long time to recover.

As a result, before it could fully recover, it hit the financial crisis that almost swept the world, triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis in 2007.

As for Bill Gates, let alone that. You must know that the breaking point of this Internet bubble crisis was caused by the Microsoft antitrust case.

Even because of this antitrust case, Bill Gates even gave up his position as CEO.

Therefore, although Chen Li admits that Big Brother Liu is indeed awesome, but he wants to leverage the outcome of this Internet crisis, Chen Li can only say that it is possible~ but definitely not many.

And to be honest, after experiencing the previous mistake, Chen Li is still much more courageous now than before.

Because he discovered that although his butterfly might affect some things on a small scale, it would not have a great global impact.

At the very least~ he affects some details at most, and does not have a big impact on the ending.

Therefore, Chen Li still feels that the Nasdaq index will plummet as it did in its previous life, but the data of the plummet may undergo some changes.

Assuming that the Nasdaq index plummeted to 1,000 points in the previous life, it may plummet to 500 points now, or to 1,500 points.

Therefore, as long as he grasps this range, even if it is just an estimate, Chen Li believes that he will not be trapped.

And to be honest, if it really fell to that figure, Chen Li would have made a lot of money long ago. Even if the capital market went up and down, it would just be the difference between making a little more and making a little less.

Therefore, compared to the fact that Big Brother Liu was preparing to enter Nasdaq, Chen Li was more curious about the invitation that Big Brother Liu gave him.

That's right~ The invitation in Chen Li's hand at the moment was the invitation sent by the boss Liu just now, and then his assistant handed it to Chen Li.

Of course, this is not a wedding invitation. Big brother Liu has a romantic life. After his original wife divorced him, this guy will not get married in a short time.

Therefore, the invitation in Chen Li's hand is actually an invitation from an auction house.

This is an auction house that will be held next month, in fact, a few days later, but unlike the auctions held by those auction houses, this time the auction house can be regarded as the auction of boss Liu's own private collection.

Okay~ Although the boss Liu has the reputation of being a collector of beauties, in fact he collects more than just beauties.

This boss Liu has a wide range of hobbies, including antiques, antiques, and even some contemporary art. These are all his collecting hobbies.

It's just that compared to these, those female celebrities are more famous.

In fact, almost all the rich people in Hong Kong seem to have this habit. Almost every rich person likes to collect some antiques and art.

After all, this thing is not only a hobby, but also an investment.

Speaking of which, when China was in turmoil, many antique treasures and even national treasure-level works of art from previous dynasties or even earlier periods were living in Hong Kong City.

But when Chen Li received this invitation, he was still a little confused.

After all, he really doesn’t like these things!

When he was in Yanjing, it was not like Chen Li had not received similar invitations. After all, he was a rich man. When those auction houses held large-scale auctions, they would naturally send invitations to rich people like Chen Li.

Last year, Chen Li met a manager of a well-known auction house. Just a few days after exchanging business cards, the other party invited him to attend the autumn auction of that auction house. But at that time, Chen Li was not only not interested in these things, but also

And he didn't have the money to take pictures of these things.

At that time, Chen Li was raising funds to enter the capital market. He wished that others would give him money, so why would he spend it on things that in his opinion had little meaning.

Chen Li has always felt that the best place for so-called antiques and artworks to stay is in museums.

After all, the historical dust carried by these antiques can only be known to the public in places like museums.

Putting it in a rich man's private collection is definitely a stupid thing to do.

Of course, many wealthy people do not necessarily buy these things just for collection. There are many things in them that are actually not known to outsiders.

Some consumers, in the eyes of ordinary people, think that those rich people have brain problems, but in fact, if they can become rich people, how can they be fools?

Just like many people think why rich people like to buy luxury cars and mansions, but in fact they may not know how much they spend to buy these things. They may be doing so in the name of their own company.

As for why, guess?

Anyway, Chen Li didn't understand it before, but now, he really understands the trick involved.

The most egregious thing is that this is even reasonable and legal, but it may be a little unethical.

No, to put it bluntly, as long as it is not a public enterprise, this is not even a moral issue.

Can you imagine that when Chen Li bought a car for Liu Qingqing, Su Mei, who was supervising the company's finances, actually called Chen Li stupid?

Because Chen Li could just use the name of Ideal Food to buy a good car and let Liu Qingqing drive it.

Moreover, this is not only good for Chen management, but also has certain benefits for ideal food.

The more ridiculous thing is that this thing is almost a common practice in the industry, and even the shareholder Su Mei thinks it is a normal phenomenon.

Now Su Mei drives a Mercedes-Benz S Series, which was also purchased by Ideal Food Company, but in fact that car is Su Mei's personal car.

On the contrary, Chen Li, the big boss behind the scenes, drove a Cherokee that he bought with his own money.

Of course, saying this is not to say how noble Chen Li is, but that he really didn't understand these twists and turns before.

Chen Li was an ordinary person in his previous life. He could only slowly become familiar with and learn from the ways in the business circle.

Just like the invitation in his hand at this moment, Chen Li has no interest in preaching theory at all.

But when the boss Liu sent him an invitation, he intentionally mentioned that he not only invited Chen Li, but also many wealthy people in Hong Kong City.

To put it bluntly, this auction is definitely not just an ordinary auction, but also a social networking place.

The people who can participate in this auction are all wealthy people in Hong Kong City. If Chen Li wanted to make friends with these people, they would probably not pay attention to him.

But now, this opportunity is placed in front of Chen Li, which is obviously a support for Chen Li from the boss Liu.

It's just that Chen Li didn't like such an occasion firstly, and secondly, he didn't like the boss Liu.

So ~ Chen Li is very confused at this moment!

In fact, Chen Li knew very well that he could not refuse this auction, and he could not even refuse it, but he just felt a little awkward in his heart.

This awkwardness does not even come from the outside world, but he is a little angry with himself for not being tough enough.

At the very least, Chen Li is not tough enough now, and he does not have enough capital to refuse an invitation from a superior person.

If it were placed a few years later, if Chen Li didn't want to go at that time, he could simply reject the other party.

But now he can only continue to be "awkward"!

"Hey~!"

"Find me a tailor!"

"Give me some more money and let them make me a suit that fits me within five days."

Chen Li looked at the invitation in his hand again, and after confirming the time again, he looked at Mu Xiaoqing opposite.

Although Zhang Ruolan is his assistant, it is obvious that Mu Xiaoqing is more familiar with Hong Kong City than Zhang Ruolan.

When Chen Li came to Hong Kong this time, he actually didn't expect to stay that long, and he didn't really like so-called suits and leather shoes on weekdays.

Because it is July now, most of the clothes Chen Li brought to Hong Kong this time were shorts and T-shirts.

Of course, in order to avoid unexpected situations, Chen Li still brought a shirt and suit.

But it is obvious that the shirt and suit he bought from a second-tier domestic brand will definitely not be able to attend this auction.

But there was no way, after all, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to go to such a high-end occasion.

Although it is estimated that even if he goes there, he will be a soy sauce existence, but Chen Li still needs to pay attention to his image.

Of course, Chen Li could actually just ignore it and just do whatever makes him feel comfortable.

Just like Ma Xiaoyun in his previous life, he often wore shorts and a T-shirt to attend various occasions.

But... again, Chen Li doesn't have the capital to do this yet.

When Ma Xiaoyun did this in his previous life, he had already sat on the throne of the richest man in China.

At that time, Ma Xiaoyun dressed like that, which was called down-to-earth, but if Chen Li dressed like that now, it would be impolite!

And to be honest, it's time for Chen Li to have his own set of high-end clothes.

After all, he is now a super rich man worth billions, but he can't even afford a decent suit. This is somewhat unreasonable.

Naturally, Mu Xiaoqing would not object to Chen Li's request. After asking some acquaintances she had recently met, Mu Xiaoqing asked.

Chen Li almost scolded her on the spot!

"No. How much?"

"Two hundred thousand?"

"Fuck me!"
