reborn industrial empire
Chapter 829 Shorting the United States
The time has entered July, and the U.S. financial market seems a little strange at this time. Many people already know that there is a problem on Wall Street, and the biggest problem is the subprime debt bonds and various financial derivatives in everyone's hands.
But no one is willing to admit this fact, because at this time, the subprime bonds in our hands and the financial derivatives derived from them have been enlarged to a market value of up to 62 trillion U.S. dollars. This is a very big deal.
Horrifying data, if this bubble is burst, the result will be simple. Countless companies will go bankrupt, and countless brokers or multi-millionaires who are prosperous today will have to jump off the building tomorrow.
So everyone is unwilling to face such an outcome. Many people are like rats on a hot pan, trying to figure out how to solve this thorny problem. Some people thought of hedging, but now the plate has been enlarged to 62 trillion.
With such a scale, even if you want to hedge, who would be stupid enough to take over at this time?
There is no way to go... Morgan and Kerry are both employees of Thunderbird Company. When Thunderbird Company was recruiting people, they were hesitant to come here.
After all, both of them had fairly good jobs at the time. One of them was working at Goldman Sachs and the other was working at Merrill Lynch. However, because both of them were recently graduated college students, even though they were both well-known Ivy League schools.
graduates, but as far as Wall Street is concerned, they are all just rookies.
Therefore, although both of them have very good backgrounds, they are just small roles such as floor employees at Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch. Their daily job is to do odd jobs in the company, helping the large and mature teams to do their work.
Some basic work such as preparing information and collecting data.
If you want to have access to the company's money and directly enter the market to fight for real, I'm afraid it will take a few more years of training. And the most important thing is to choose the right leader.
However, even if they only do such careful and careful work, the two of them can basically get a six-figure red envelope when the dividends are distributed at the end of each year.
But even this cannot satisfy the fantasies of young people like them. After all, Wall Street is a big vanity fair. Who doesn’t want to become famous quickly in such a vanity fair? Even if he cannot become an all-powerful fund manager, he must at least become a well-known person.
trader?
Even if you can't become a well-known trader, then at least you have to become a senior trader with an annual salary and dividends of over one million, right?
Unfortunately, this is Wall Street after all, and there are so many talented people. Almost all the elites in North America are concentrated here, so if you want to get ahead here, you have to stay for several years.
Unexpectedly, a newly established Thunderbird Investment Company suddenly appeared at this time. Although the company was not well-known and the companies it provided were not high. It was just the lowest level on Wall Street, but the two of them were still excited because this company had the most basic
The conditions are very attractive, that is, everyone can have access to the company's money. As long as you have access to the company's money here, you can quickly accumulate the most practical practical experience, even if you do not work in this company in the future.
Success, but as long as you have experience, you can easily change jobs in the future?
So Morgan and Kerry gritted their teeth, resigned from their original companies and joined this company. Soon many young people with the same ideas as them joined the company.
The company did not break its promise, and soon spent a lot of money to let them go to the battlefield with real weapons, although many times they just played the role of screws and mouthpieces, constantly executing the above
However, such a passionate, exciting life of fighting in the stock market and futures market still makes them very satisfied.
Soon the company achieved miraculous success in the market, and several consecutive investments were huge successes. Everyone was very happy, and even for a period of time, their superiors allowed them, these little minions, to invest in the market.
We made some small investments of less than US$50,000. Although the capital scale was small, everyone was still very happy. After all, this was the first time that everyone could independently venture into this market.
Over the past few months, everyone has made profits and losses, but the most important thing is that everyone has accumulated very good experience. Some people have even gained promotions and the authority to use larger amounts of funds because of their sharp vision and successful investments.
It made everyone feel full of energy.
Then there was a miracle. Under the leadership of the mysterious big boss, the company achieved an incredible victory in the natural gas futures market. It made billions of dollars in profit from one operation. Everyone was crazy about it. Every day
Everyone received a lot of red envelopes, and at the same time, they were all filled with pride. From now on, my friends will brag against others when we go out, and we will also become legends.
But the next move of the company was confusing to everyone. It actually gave everyone paid vacation, and the vacation lasted for several months. This made everyone very confused. You must know that time is money on Wall Street. Is the boss really money?
Too many brains are stupid?
Many people didn't understand that they were wasting their time like this for several months, including Morgan and Kerry. They even thought about resigning and changing companies, but they were reluctant to part with the company's generous salary and big red envelopes. In the end, they decided
Stayed.
However, they did not do anything during this period. The two of them planned to make some money, especially since the real estate market in the United States has been extremely hot recently. The prices of houses in every state are rising, so the two of them also planned to get involved in the real estate market.
Go and speculate in real estate.
What Morgan is interested in is a penthouse duplex apartment in the Harlem Apartments on Fifty-first Street in Manhattan. Although Fifty-first Street can no longer be regarded as the central area of Manhattan, this is Manhattan after all, the center of the world.
Therefore, the housing prices here are still not cheap. A house with an area of more than 200 square meters actually costs more than 4 million US dollars.
Although Morgan received two big red envelopes from the company, he still had to take out a loan to buy this house. The mortgage was for thirty years. However, Morgan had to lament that these banks are really shady.
It's the same with Kerry, except that he chose Los Angeles. Compared to New York, he prefers the sun, the beach, and the beauties on the beach, so he bought a set with mountain views in Santa Monica.
The price of the villa was also not cheap, costing several million dollars, so he also took out a loan.
Just when the two of them were frightened and begged their grandfather to file a lawsuit, hoping that the company would find them back to work quickly and earn more money to repay the loan, they finally received a simple two-word text message from the company.
'Come back soon!'
So the two of them rushed back to the company without stopping. As expected, the atmosphere inside the company was already very tense. It seemed that a big action was going to be taken. The two of them were immediately excited and excited, but when they took the money from their team leader
When they received some action instructions, the two of them couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
What the hell are you doing? You want to short-sell the Dow Jones Index, and you also want to short-sell the S&P Index. Not only do you want to short-sell these indices, but you also want to short-sell big investment banks like Bear Stearns and Merrill Lynch.
We are also going to short their stocks. What is this?
Are the companies crazy? Are they planning to start a war with the entire Wall Street? Even if they are shorting two major indexes, they are actually shorting the stocks of so many major investment banks and investment institutions. Isn’t this going to slap others in the face?
But their group leader wouldn't explain that much to them, he just said to them with a cold face.
"Either you carry out the instructions, or you get fucked and get out."
What can the two of them say now? The mortgage loan is there, the house has been bought, and now they can only pray that the boss of the company is not crazy and that the U.S. economy is really finished.
However, as native Americans, even if they don't care about politics, they still have inexplicable feelings for the country where they were born and raised.
These instructions look very strange. The company is shorting several important U.S. stock indexes and futures, as well as shorting so many major U.S. investment banks and companies. Does this mean it is clearly not optimistic about the U.S. economy?
Unless the U.S. economy suddenly collapses, the final result of the company's behavior will be total losses. But will the U.S. economy suddenly collapse?
What kind of international joke are you kidding? Isn’t there Black Friday now? Moreover, Afghanistan has been smashed to the ground by us, Iraq has also been overthrown by us, and even Saddam has been sent to the gallows, and planes have crashed into buildings.
It is impossible for things like this to happen again, so how could the U.S. economy suddenly collapse?
Unless a world nuclear war breaks out, but this is even more impossible! Is today April Fool’s Day? But it is already July, how is it possible?
Although Morgan and Kerry have various doubts, super players at their level will not have access to the company's top insiders at all. They can only follow the instructions issued by the above, sit in front of the computer, and start one-five
A sell short order of ten.
They know that by doing this, they are shorting the U.S. economy, but they have no choice but to think about nothing given the instructions from above. Since the higher-ups are willing to send money to us, the American people, then let them go crazy. It seems that the future
We have to find a job again, but damn, I just spent money to buy a new house. I haven’t lived in it for a few days, but it will be taken away by the bank. I’m so unwilling...!~!
