The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 390 387. We are not short of money

   "You give me some time, I think about it, shall we meet again in a few days?" Cao Yang said to Liu Zhiping.

  This time, the two people met each other. Through the breath, they exchanged ideas with each other, and then clarified the general direction and problems. After finishing their respective plans, they would be more clear when they met again.

  So it was not too early for the two to check the time today, so they made an appointment to eat together and go home.

  ……

  On December 1, 2007, Cao Yang once again met with Liu Zhiping to discuss the future development plan of Bomi.

  As soon as the two met, Liu Zhiping smiled and said, “Mr. Cao, I really admire you. Fortunately, we haven’t had time to go short-selling in the rice stock market. Now the U.S. Securities Regulatory Bureau has issued a ban and does not allow malicious short-selling.”

  By this time, the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has been very serious.

Before the subprime mortgage crisis, the U.S. housing market experienced a boom period of up to 6 years, which made people have a positive psychology of overestimation of the housing market. They believed that as long as they bought a house, they could appreciate, and the room for appreciation must be greater than that of loans. interest rate.

This psychology has led many people to take out loans to buy houses, and financial institutions have also taken advantage of the boom in the real estate market to over-exploit housing mortgage loans, and even encourage those who do not have a fixed income and are at high risk of repayment to borrow to buy houses. This situation has led to The real estate bubble in the U.S. real estate market is getting bigger and bigger. Knowing that the bubble burst and housing prices fell and cannot be dealt with, many people find that the current market value of their houses is not enough for the loan amount, so they simply choose to give up the loan repayment;

  Due to the emergence of the real estate market bubble, the government adopted regulatory measures such as raising interest rates, which led to increased pressure on loan repayment. Later, the bubble of the subprime mortgage crisis became too big to be ignored, and finally burst, and it collapsed to the end.

  The U.S. official wanted to lift it and couldn’t lift it.

  However, for such serious consequences, the relevant US regulatory authorities also have to bear great responsibilities.

  In the first half of this year, the financial crisis had already surfaced. At that time, Cao Yang also specifically told Liu Zhiping about this.

However, Liu Zhiping called his old club and the current Secretary of Finance Henry Paulson. Although Paulson expressed his concerns on the phone, he had met with the head of the Federal Reserve and discussed with him. The U.S. subprime mortgage market is controllable.

  As a result, he was slapped in the face within a few months.

  Although the rice stocks fell before, they were not as severe as expected, and they were still within the controllable range of relevant departments.

  But since August, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

  In the face of US$17.4 billion in debt forced by Wall Street, New Century Financial Corp, the second largest subprime mortgage company in the United States, announced on August 2, 2007 that it filed for bankruptcy protection and cut 54% of its employees.

  Then the United States’ tenth largest mortgage lending institution, the U.S. Housing Mortgage Investment Corporation, formally filed for bankruptcy protection in the court on August 6, 2007, becoming another large U.S. mortgage lending institution that filed for bankruptcy after New Century Financial Corporation.

  It is not only the U.S. that is affected by the financial crisis. The U.S. dollar is the global currency. Once the U.S. economy has problems, the whole world will be implicated.

  This is the detrimental effect of the Mi Yuan as the universal currency in the world, and the excessive foreign exchange volume of Mi Yuan in the world.

  Especially the fact that Europe is so close to the United States has directly caused many European countries to be affected first.

  France’s largest bank BNP Paribas announced its involvement in U.S. subordinated debt, most of the world’s stock indexes fell, and metal crude oil futures and spot gold prices plunged sharply.

  This time the subprime mortgage crisis has evolved into a global crisis too fast, as if it collapsed overnight. All countries are facing enemies, and the relevant departments are beginning to prepare for battle.

  After entering September.

  The European Central Bank took the lead to intervene, and central banks around the world injected more than US$326.2 billion in 48 hours to rescue the market

  The Federal Reserve injects 38 billion U.S. dollars into banks three times a day to stabilize the stock market

  On August 14, 2007, dozens of companies, including Wal-Mart and Home Depot, announced that they had suffered huge losses due to the subprime debt crisis. U.S. stocks quickly fell to their lowest point in several months.

  So the three major central banks of the United States, Europe and Japan once again injected more than $72 billion to rescue the market. The Asia-Pacific Central Bank injects capital into the banking system again, and the economies may postpone interest rate hikes.

  On August 16, 2007, the stock price of the nation's largest commercial mortgage company plummeted and faced bankruptcy. The US subprime debt crisis worsened, and the Asia-Pacific stock market suffered its worst decline since 9/11.

  This financial crisis can be described as thrilling. Miou and Japan have successively released the water, and there was still some convergence at the beginning. The United States only added 5 billion 6 billion to it.

  Later, I found out that I couldn’t lift it up at all. This stock market seemed to be dying, like a bottomless pit. No matter how much you put into it, it will instantly evaporate.

  Even if the water has been released, there is not even a small splash.

  Later, Higashishima couldn't hold it anymore, and first released 1 trillion yen in one breath, but the stock market burned it out the next day, so he released another 800 billion yen.

  From August to the present, the United States has released a total of nearly 80 billion U.S. dollars, but the stock market still hasn't improved a bit, and has fallen all the way.

  At this time, the most cunning and elite group of people in the U.S. didn’t know what to do, so they asked the world for help, discussed meetings to improve the relevant SFC supervision system, and started to introduce a series of measures.

  In response to this subprime mortgage crisis, as of October 13, 2007, relevant U.S. authorities helped major financial institutions set up a fund (super fund) worth 100 billion U.S. dollars to purchase troubled mortgage securities.

  So a bunch of companies declared bankruptcy one after another.

  Some well-known fund companies have already begun short selling.

  On November 29, the United States issued a policy prohibiting malicious short selling.

  Because this is a vicious circle, the more you go short, the more panic among investors will be, which will cause them to sell a lot of stocks. The current situation is——

Stockholders all know that the stock market is going to fall sharply, falling into the price of cabbage, so if you can escape, you can flee as soon as possible. It doesn't matter if you cut some meat. As long as it can be converted into money, they can choose to invest in other places afterwards, but if it is in the stock market If it is, it will soon fall.

  In this subprime mortgage crisis, the money in the US stock market can be described as "evaporating".

  There are still US$6 stocks this morning, and maybe only US$3 tomorrow. Everyone’s assets are shrinking severely, except for the giant capitalists who have a lot of liquidity to short-selling.

  So the financial crisis is a disaster for the country and the people, but it is a good time for capitalists to feast on it.

  Capital is so greedy and inhuman.

   Therefore, in order to prevent further deterioration, the relevant U.S. authorities urgently called a halt and banned short-selling. This is a little bit better, and at least it will not accelerate the collapse of the U.S. stock market due to short-selling.

   So now it is more difficult for Cao Yang and the others to continue to sell short.

  ……

  Cao Yang was complimented by Liu Zhiping. He was happy in his heart and showed a humble smile on his face. “In fact, there is no such thing. I just don’t think there is a need to go short.”

  After entering November, the three major banks, Bank of America, Citibank and Morgan Stanley, agreed to spend at least $75 billion to help the market get out of the subprime mortgage crisis.

  The Bank of the United States began to lead Citigroup and **** to raise 80 billion US dollars for the super fund.

  At this time, the world seems to see a glimmer of hope.

  Only Cao Yang knows that this is still in its infancy, and it will take a long time for the US stock market to fall to the end.

  Looking back at all that happened this year, Cao Yang has a feeling of inexplicable heartbeat.

  Just as a bystander, I feel thrilling enough. I don’t know what the mood of those US department chiefs is.

However, the stock market crash in rice stocks indirectly helped Bomi. Because many people have nowhere to go, it is impossible to stay in the US stock market and banks. Therefore, many large US companies and investment banks directly invest their funds in foreign countries. The stable financial market has resulted in a sharp increase in the opening price of Bomi on the sale day.

  Thinking about it now, it’s really a bit scary. Fortunately, Bomi went public before the financial crisis spread to China. Otherwise, the impact will be more negative at this time next year.

  "Have you seen the news these days?" Cao Yang asked him, "Buffett's."

   "Yeah." Liu Zhiping nodded and took a sip of his tea. "This is also an old practice. Every time a large-scale stock market crash occurs, the authorities will let Buffett come out to stabilize the people."

  On November 30, Buffett was once again carried out by US officials to stabilize investors’ sentiments and prevent them from panic selling stocks.

  Buffett delivered a very important speech some time ago. He said that this time the US subprime mortgage crisis will not reduce his holdings. On the contrary, he will actively buy.

  Because of the same sentence, where is the value of the company, even if it falls today, it will rise back in the future, because the market price fluctuates around the actual value.

  It's just that this time the subprime mortgage crisis has caused panic among investors.

  So instead of reducing his holdings, Buffett also bought a lot of shares of Apple.

  Cao Yang couldn't help but sigh, Buffett is really an old fox.

  He is backed by the United States, and of course he speaks with confidence. In many cases, the title of the **** of stocks is not necessarily because of how godly Buffett is, but because he has more information than ordinary people.

  Moreover, Buffett and Soros are equivalent to the right and left hands of the United States in private enterprises. As long as they are obedient and follow the instructions above, they will always be a myth.

  Many things are actually not easy to show up directly. For example, to stabilize the confidence of investors, in addition to releasing water on the top and launching measures, it is still useful for a spokesperson like Buffett to speak out.

  However, Cao Yang’s thinking is similar to that of the old man. Although it has not yet reached the bottom, the stocks of many companies have fallen beyond their inherent value. Investment is actually a good behavior.

  And Omi is welcoming investors to enter the stock market to stabilize the market and increase investor confidence.

  "But I still appreciate what Buffett said in the news. Stocks will always rise to the inherent value of the company. It's just a matter of time." Cao Yang said with a smile.

   "Yeah." Liu Zhiping nodded, still agreeing with Cao Yang's statement.

  The only problem is that it is difficult to determine how long this time will be. Some companies did not carry it out when the stock market crash came. They laid off a lot of employees and closed down if the product could not be sold. But changing the market environment is completely different.

  So Liu Zhiping recognized part of what Cao Yang said, but he has to add a sentence afterwards, provided that he is in a healthy market environment.

   "So do you think it is a good time for us to invest in Omi's company now?" Cao Yang asked his opinion seriously.

   "It's a good time," Liu Zhiping said solemnly, "but there are certain risks. The premise is that the companies we buy must not go bankrupt. When the time comes, once the companies file for bankruptcy and suspension, we will lose a lot of money."

   But when he heard Cao Yang’s words, Liu Zhiping quickly reacted. His eyes lit up and he looked at Cao Yang with a smile, "So Cao is always optimistic about which stocks he wants to buy?"

   "Yeah." Cao Yang nodded slightly, with a sly smile on his face, "I want to invest more in high-tech companies, such as Google and Facebook. I am still optimistic about Internet-related.

  The future prospects of these companies should be good. "

"Okay," Liu Zhiping said with a smile, "before affected by the relevant departments, in fact, we have no way to intervene in many companies. It is very difficult for the Chinese to buy technology-based companies in the United States. This time Omi should not be able to save the market. Reject foreign capital."

  This time two people thought of going together.

  Liu Zhiping’s analysis angle is different from that of Cao Yang. He is not a rebirth and can only analyze and judge based on existing experience.

  Cao Yang naturally knows which companies will be stronger in the future and which companies can become stronger and bigger, so he can omit the intermediate analysis and thinking links and directly give the answer to Liu Zhiping.

  Cao Yang did not do this, on the one hand, not to reveal his identity as a reborn person, on the other hand, to take care of Liu Zhiping’s face as an executive.

  Otherwise, they will always take care of themselves, so where can Bomi's executives, especially those in the strategic department, put their face on it?

  Liu Zhiping is a very clever man. Cao Yang only needs to tap, give a little information, and he can infer the answer that is closest to the historical trend.

  This is still very good, saving Cao Yang a lot of trouble.

  Liu Zhiping is the most familiar with Bomi. Bomi has carried out many businesses and achieved good results. There are many success factors for analysis.

So when he makes investments, he will more or less apply the current successful experience of Bomi, and compare it with other companies in the world. Google has proven itself with technology. Facebook, Liu Zhiping thinks theirs. To some extent, the operation mode is similar to that of Bomi's initial development of a series of ecological chains through the Penguin platform, so Liu Zhiping is more concerned about these companies.

  In addition, Liu Zhiping still has a lot of candidates for investment in American companies. He is going to sort them out and hand them to Cao Yang for review.

  The two people discussed for a while, exchanged some of their own ideas, and quickly reached a consensus.

  In fact, in addition to American companies, some European and island companies are also worth investing.

  "You can just take care of these things." Cao Yang said.

  "Okay." Liu Zhiping recorded it in his notebook, "I will first compile a list and show it to you at that time. If there are no problems afterwards, the investment department will proceed according to this plan."

   "Yes." The expression on Cao Yang's face looked very relaxed.

  Why don’t you say what it means to say "wealthy wealth"?

  This is called rich wealth.

  When you have a reserve of 80 billion US dollars, it feels really good that you can buy what you want.

  Now Bomi is not bad for money, but it’s just that others won’t let it go.

  ……

  In addition to making money, there are some investments that do not make money or even lose money. Cao Yang wants to take this opportunity to explain to Liu Zhiping.

   "Let's see if you can find a way to buy shares in Asim." Cao Yang said.

  "Asmai?" Liu Zhiping asked with some confusion.

  Cao Yang smiled, retrieved the information of Asme from the mobile phone, and handed it to Liu Zhiping.

  Asim is a Dutch company, its full name is AdvancedSemiconductorMaterialLithography, abbreviated as ASML, and its Chinese name is ASML.

  This company is the most advanced lithography machine manufacturer in the world.

  In July this year, ASML formally completed the acquisition of Brion Technology, making it an important member of the company.

  Ruichu Technology is a high-tech company established in Silicon Valley in the United States. It is committed to computing lithography and other services, used to detect lithography defects and propose corresponding correction solutions, and is in the leading position in the industry.

  And in accordance with the progress of the previous life, ASML will develop the world's first extreme ultraviolet lithography machine-EUV in 2012, directly pressing the entire lithography level below 45 nanometers.

  Liu Guangran looked at it for a while, then looked up dazedly, "Why are we going to invest in a lithography company?"

  Asmak, the company, from the point of view of profit alone, is definitely not very profitable. There are so many companies in the world that make chips. How many lithography machines can be purchased in a year?

  And a lithography machine has been in service for a very long time. For example, many of SMIC’s lithography equipment have been in service for more than 10 years.

  Unless there is a problem with the machine itself, or the lithography machine has made a technological leap, under normal circumstances chip manufacturing companies will not replace the lithography machine.

  At the same time, ASML still needs a lot of funds to do technology research and development, it can be said that there is almost no profit at all.

  So Cao Yang will definitely lose money in stealing ASML in the next few years.

  Can vote for ASML, which has extraordinary strategic significance.

  Now it’s actually walking on two legs.

  One leg is the country’s own development and research of lithography machines. Bomi is helping to promote the development of domestic lithography machines in the hope that the US will not be caught in the neck due to chip problems in the future.

  On the other hand, what Cao Yang thought was that if he became a shareholder, even if he couldn't get other people's technology, he would at least have the right to buy.

  If the United States wants to restrict the export of lithography machines in the future, it will have to consider Bomi’s shares in Asmar.

  After all, this is a Dutch company, and the influence of the United States is not as great as that of the country.

   Taking advantage of this opportunity, I don’t know if I can successfully invest in shares.

   But no matter what, Cao Yang wants to give it a try.

  ……
