Chapter 452 Thousands of 'Victims'

Many smart people have already seen that Apple's autumn new products will suffer a huge impact from the news about Xinghai's new product launch last month when the global social media was raging, so they immediately chose to buy Apple's short position.

Anyway, the U.S. stock market is known for its freedom and openness, and there is no shortage of options for investors who want to get rich.

Then, not only these smart people saw that Apple stock was going to do badly in the market.

Apple itself knows it.

Many capital giants are naturally informed groups, and all of them are gearing up.

Then, they made the diametrically opposite decision based on the analysis model provided by countless elites under their command who spent a lot of energy.

Among them, several crocodiles who have the right to speak are themselves Apple shareholders.

As a result, the subsequent development far exceeded the predictions of many smart people, and Apple's stock price rose slightly all the way, with little daily fluctuation.

In this way, time flies by.

Finally, I finally waited until Apple's new product launch conference. Unsurprisingly, what Apple really brought out was the most disappointing new iPhone product and series in history.

Countless smart people saw the disappointed atmosphere at the press conference through the Internet, and immediately celebrated with their crowns.

however……

The stock price of Apple only dropped slightly that day, which immediately sank the hearts of many smart people. Among them, the smart people among the smart people, who accounted for less than [-]/[-] players, decisively chose to cut their flesh and leave the field.

They are lucky.

Because the next situation has greatly exceeded everyone's expectations!
There is no mainstream authoritative media in Europe, America and other places to comment on Apple's new products, even though social media platforms have already gone viral!

Not only that, the group headed by Apple officials is particularly dissatisfied with the uproar of online netizens, and they continue to speak out in various ways, as if Apple has the capital of the savior overnight, and they are all singing praises.

The tolerance for Apple's new hip-stretching products has reached a peak, ignoring the existence of competing products, and only caring about boasting about the insignificant new features of Apple's new products.

Then, Apple's stock price pulled an extremely rare 7.19% daily increase.

Based on the original high market value of more than 4500 billion US dollars, the market value of Apple has soared by more than 300 billion US dollars in one day.

Countless smart people went bankrupt in an instant.

No one pities them.

The main discussions on Twitter, range, xiaochengshu, Facebook and other platforms are:
【How long can Apple's high stock price bubble last?Who is the real lucky one? 】

Because in addition to a large number of smart people, more leek investors choose to go long.

"The more shorts there are, the more profits the bulls will make, not to mention facing such a huge crisis, how could Apple not have some countermeasures, at least there will be rescue actions, if it is exploited, how can Apple survive it?"

"Although it is an afterthought, there is no problem with this truth. From the point of view of public opinion, it is obvious that there are forces strongly supporting Apple. This is a feast for certain groups."

"Fortunately, I am a person who doesn't like short-selling. I usually only buy stocks and hold them for a long time. Today I found that the Apple stock I hold has risen a lot."

"Among Microsoft, Google, and Apple, I chose Apple. Unexpectedly, the former two have been falling recently, but Apple has risen against the trend instead."

"I don't know how long it can last, this time it is a bubble-style rise."

"..."

"I suppose there are no real lucky ones."

"Probably not. The short sellers who make timely delivery today are the lucky ones, and the long sellers who deliver today will also be lucky. No one can understand how it will develop tomorrow."

"..."

As we all know, capital is full of plunder, greed, and blood.

As some netizens commented, those who deliver in time today are the lucky ones, and no one knows what will happen tomorrow.

And those short position holders who have not yet liquidated their positions have already stood on the edge of the cliff.

The smartest wave has stopped losses in time.

The smartest ones are powerless after the forced liquidation, and some of the remaining ones can't bear to leave the market, and the last ones are full of illusions.

They do not think the situation will continue to 'deteriorate'.

They are still waiting for a miracle.

They didn't even consider that the reason why they can participate in short selling is because there are platforms provided, and behind these platforms are also greedy capital.

When many capital giants, including some of Apple's pan-competitors such as Microsoft Gates and stock gods, have maintained a long-term understanding, the market has become an open sickle.

On the 11th Eastern Time, Apple stock continued to rise against the trend, with a daily increase of 4.58% at the close.

Apple's market value once again exceeded the $5000 billion mark!
This time, according to the publicly available data, more than 9% of Apple's short positions have disappeared, leaving only a little bit of 'diehards'.

The publicly available data here refers to general investors, namely leeks.

Some of them actually held short orders that triggered forced liquidation, which also led to the occurrence of massive buying orders, further boosting the rise of Apple's stock price.

Because according to the basic short-selling method, they borrow stocks from an intermediate platform and sell them first, and then buy them at a low point. When the stock price keeps rising compared with the selling stock price, the forced liquidation mechanism will inevitably be triggered, resulting in high-level buying. Order, that is, buying stocks and returning them to the intermediate platform.

This is not over yet!

On the 12th, Eastern time, the mainstream online news is still in favor of Apple, even if there is an opponent like Bolang who is crazy about marketing Apple's new products, which is extremely unsuccessful, and keeps letting the public know about Apple's new products, but... the will of the capital to join forces still.

At the close of the day, Apple’s stock price rose again by 2.31%.

As a result, the last bit of short leeks also suffered a liquidation.

Even according to the grapevine, some private big shorts were at risk and had to partly carve out their flesh.

You must know that the general direction of the US stock market is in a downward state.

More than 60% of the technology stocks in the broader market are falling, including Microsoft and Google, the top three technology stocks in the US stock market by market value.

This is still not over!
The greediness of capital is always beyond imagination.

The endless reason is that on the 13th, Apple's new products will officially accept online reservations in 9 regions around the world!

The reservation on Apple's official website is in the form of full payment in advance. Xinghai previously implemented a reservation system rather than a reservation system in the domestic market and overseas markets.

And the 13th is Friday.

When the time comes, the reservation entrance is opened, and then the marketing promotion is full... In order to achieve the best effect, Apple has made a lot of efforts.

Soon, Apple’s official bubbling directly on social media platforms, proactively publicized the pre-order results of new products, and the total pre-orders of 5C/5S exceeded one million units in a short period of time.

Then countless media began to tout Apple as if they had discussed it.

He also gave the sales forecast for the first week after Apple’s official launch on the 20th. It is believed that the sales in the first week will exceed at least 800 million units, and it is estimated that it will exceed 900 million units, around 1000 million units... In fact, if there is no Xinghai, this The sales volume of Apple's new products in the first week of the year really exceeded 900 million units.

The reason has little to do with the launch in the Chinese market, mainly because of the brand heritage and the fact that 5S has a lot of selling points.

Because the 5S at that time was the world's first smartphone with fingerprint unlocking, and the world's first mobile phone equipped with a 64-bit processor architecture SoC... and many other world-first gimmicks.

We must know that when the A7 chip came out at that time, Qualcomm was pushed into a hurry, and then... Qualcomm's first-generation Fire Dragon, the Snapdragon 810, was forced out.

Because the A7's processor uses a 64-bit architecture, ARM v8 architecture, which is the unnamed chip of Bolang's first generation with some self-designed components, the one used in Xinghai 1.

Qualcomm also hastily implemented v8, and used TSMC's 20nm process. As a result, it couldn't suppress the power consumption at all. Anyway, the impact was quite large. One of the impacts on the domestic market was that MI did not dare to release a digital flagship machine back then.

Now Qualcomm is already in full swing.

However, as early as May, Xingkong Semiconductor issued a friendly risk warning to the public, mainly targeting Qualcomm, and it is not known whether Qualcomm has the ability to solve the problem of power consumption.

Anyway...

In the time and space without Xinghai, Apple's new product can be blown away this time, and the sales will indeed be quite impressive.

Therefore, under the tacit praise of all parties, Apple's stock continued to rise on the 13th Eastern Time, with a slight increase of 3.02%.

The market value is as high as more than 5350 billion US dollars.

It’s just that unlike the previous two days when the intraday volatility was relatively small, this day’s volatility was very large, and the difference between the lowest intraday price and the closing price was close to $30.

The reason for such a large amplitude is that many behind-the-scenes capitals have tacitly started to deliver and leave the market, leaving the market to leeks.

Because everyone knows how high the bubble volume of Apple's stock price is in this round.

The members who left the market also included the part held by Wen Liang and his asset management company. After 4 more trading days, the final departure capital was as high as 27 billion US dollars.

If up to this point, the Apple stock alone has made a profit of 7 million US dollars, which is almost 42.8 billion yuan according to the real-time exchange rate.

but……

This game has been going on for so long, how could it end so hastily.

Let's put it this way, asset management companies currently have a total of 120 billion US dollars of restricted 'idle' funds in US stock accounts, and basically no funds that can be directly withdrawn.

Among them, 27 billion was just sold to go long on Apple, but it became a guarantee fund.

About 40 billion are short-selling companies including Microsoft, Google, etc., because as early as last month, the short-selling against these companies has already begun. use.

The remaining 53 billion is the latest to short Apple, and there are also contractual constraints.

…………

All major overseas social media platforms are crazy.

Nearly one-third of the entries on the hot list and other lists are related to the US stock market and Apple stock.

No way, in just five working days a week, the 'victims' spread all over the world, the total amount is astonishing!

The more victims there are, the more people will be watching and eating melons.

There are ghosts only if they are not crazy.

"Shocking inside story, unscrupulous capital! fuxk!!!"

"Never buy Apple products again!"

“It’s too ruthless, too ruthless, according to reports, nearly ten million people have been hurt by the abnormal rise in Apple’s stock price!!”

"There must be something inside, Apple must be manipulating the stock market!"

"..."

The news once ignited the gossip enthusiasm of domestic netizens.

Although most of the theater.

But there are still many people who expressed their opinions.

It is inevitable to bring Bo Lang.

"The free width of the U.S. stock market is really scary. A little wave will directly involve market turmoil on the order of hundreds of billions of dollars, and it will almost catch up with the market valuation of the entire Bolang Group."

"Thousands of people have been damaged, it's crazy."

"It seems that Apple's brand effect is still strong. Even if this new product is nothing new and far inferior to Xinghai's new product, there are still many consumers around the world who are willing to pay for it!"

"After all, it's Apple, and the new product is not so bad that it's unacceptable. It can even be said to be the best smartphone other than Xinghai 2."

"Bolang's background is still not as good. I saw people talking about the comparison between Apple's new products and Xinghai's new products on the Internet. The gap is very obvious, but the market still actively chooses Apple. Regardless of the process, the result is the same anyway."

"It is not so easy to become a world-renowned mobile phone brand and maintain the image of high-end mobile phones. Apple has gone through three and a half years of iterative evolution from the start of the smartphone frenzy to the establishment of its market position. Xinghai is only the second generation so far. The time is less than a year, and it has been six and a half years since Apple released the iPhone in early 07, and it has gone through 7 generations of products.

"It can only be said that the current smartphone market is still in the initial stage of chaos, and how it will develop in the future is still uncertain. Of course, it must be admitted that the battle between Xinghai and Apple in 2013 will definitely leave some in the history of mobile phone development. strokes."

"..."

…………

…………

Later on the 13th U.S. Eastern Time after the U.S. stock market closed, and on the morning of the 14th Chinese time, some people were sitting in the office of Bolang's general manager.

It seems that there is no one working on the entire floor of IFC 65th floor this Saturday, the quiet atmosphere permeates here, and there is no sound in the office.

It's not that everyone doesn't want to talk.

Rather... Our President Wen is making tea in a slow manner. His movements are not elegant or anything, but his proficiency is better, and everyone is willing to not disturb the face.

The atmosphere became lively when cups of tea were pushed in front of each other.

"Judging from the summary of various information, the giants have shifted from long to short, and it is estimated that the mainstream negative reports that have been suppressed will be released."

Chen Jiaxin spoke first.

"The main reason is that the overseas communication capabilities of platforms such as range, xiaochengshu, Weibo, and QQ are still not as good as those of local platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Youtube. Especially, the influence gap among American netizens is quite large."

None of the people here were surprised by this.

The communication efficiency in the Internet information age is many times faster than before, not in the same order of magnitude at all, but at the same time, the problem is that the effect of its communication is very dependent on the platform.

You can do whatever you want, and the platform will actively block it, so there is nothing you can do about it.

A relatively large example is: Depp was very angry in 2022 when he learned that Facebook had suppressed the dissemination of a certain news in 2020 because of the authorities' suggestion, so that Depp shouted the slogan of re-competition.

Take the current example, Bolang’s influential social media platforms are delayed in development, so the combined voice transmission is not as powerful as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube and other platforms affected by various capitals.

Subsequently, both Wang Wanyu and Li Ze made some summary information announcements.

Then Li Ze said: "Xinghai 2/2 Pro has basically been stocked up in major western markets such as Western Europe and North America, and it can be opened for sale at any time. The American authorities have no intention to stop us from selling online. Can we open it for purchase? ?”

Wen Liang thought for a moment, then replied: "Don't worry, we shouldn't be the first ones this time. According to the information you have collected, there are many aspects that are more irresistible than us. We just need to be the one that crushes the camel." Straw is fine."

Chen Jiaxin was slightly worried: "Will Apple's brand heritage be overturned in the market?"

"No." Li Ze said firmly, "The gap between the overall product experience and Apple's after-sales strategy, even if it takes the lead at the beginning, it will quickly fail later."

"understood."

However, the next development unfolded just as Wen Liang said...
-
PS: This is the end of the update for August. The next chapter is estimated to be finished in the early hours of the morning. Although the update is still not good, the number of words in this month’s update is not bad. It’s 16 words. The monthly ticket is guaranteed at the end of the month, readers and grandpas support it, and pass a thousand tickets early~
PS1: It’s not that I don’t understand that it might be good if there is exposure, but unfortunately, there are basically no recommended resources, and the only way to obtain platform independent exposure resources is the super exaggerated tipping like the Golden League. I... can't afford it at all;
In the nearly three years since 20 years, my experience has shown that it is unrealistic to change my life against the sky, so I gradually lost some motivation and expectation after the performance of this book from the beginning, and then probably In March and April, I decided to focus on work. The problem has been rotten for a long time, but it must be resolved. This is why the update has gradually become less stable since then.

To be honest, at the moment when there is no hope, as far as I am concerned, it is difficult to improve anything. I can't blame the environment, I can only say that people are not good, and there is no way.
