Chapter 211 Engage in Finance, Quick Money
On April 2008, 4, the IMF said that the global subprime mortgage loss was one trillion US dollars.

On April 2008, 4, Citibank announced that after writing down more than US$18 billion in losses, it had a net loss of US$130 billion in the first quarter, or a loss of US$51.1 per share.

2008年4月25日，花旗国4月份消费者信心创1982年3月以来最低水平。

On September 2008, 9, Lehman Brothers, Citigroup's fourth largest investment bank, fell into a severe financial crisis and announced to file for bankruptcy protection. A more serious financial crisis came.

On September 2008, 9, Washington Mutual, the largest savings and loan bank in Citigroup, headquartered in Seattle, was seized and taken over by the Citigroup Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, becoming the largest bank to fail in history.

2008年11月25日，花旗银行股价近期暴跌，股价跌至近3美元，市值从2006年底的2740亿美元跌至200亿美元左右。

A total of $200 billion in financial losses for four consecutive quarters has plunged Citibank into crisis.

2009年1月16日，花旗银行2008全年净亏损187亿美元，每股亏损3.88美元，要是考虑到2008年第四季度亏损的近百亿，这家银行在短短的5季度时间久亏掉了280多亿美金。

2009年3月5日，花旗银行股价一度跌穿1美元，创下0.97美元的历史低价。

At this time, Xiao Hui's financial team immediately started to clear the warehouse.

The previous short sale order cost more than 40 US dollars when one share was the highest.

Now you can close a position with an average cost of only a few dollars.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is huge profits.

To give a simple example, if you short sell 40 shares of stock at a price of 4000 US dollars, it is equivalent to short selling 40 US dollars in advance, and you can close the position with only [-] US dollars in the end.

That is, I earned $3960.

And the $4000 can be leveraged, that is, your cost may be only $2000, or even only $1000.

For those who are more courageous, the cost of 400 US dollars is no problem.

This means that after spending $400 or $1000 in costs, I ended up earning $3960.

Xiao Hui's investments were all big investments.

Of course not all costs are the same.

Billions of dollars have entered, and it is naturally impossible to increase the leverage ten times. There are not so many Citibank stocks in the market for you to buy.

So in theory, billions of dollars can bring tens of billions of dollars in profits.

Actually it doesn't work at all.

However, when the financial team reported the results to Xiao Hui, he was already very satisfied.

"Mr. Xiao, we have verified it many times. Excluding the initial investment and the money earned from Lehman Brothers, we earned 54 billion US dollars from Citibank this time.

These funds are scattered in dozens of accounts and are trying to get them back. "

Even though he had already made some predictions before, Xiao Hui couldn't help being a little excited when he heard that he had really gained more than 50 billion US dollars.

Of course, Nanshan Automobile is not what it used to be.

Now the monthly profit is almost [-] million US dollars.

So more than 50 billion US dollars will not make him lose himself.

It's like a person with an annual income of 2 yuan suddenly has 1000 million more in his account. He must be so excited that he can't sleep.

But for a person with a family fortune of 10 billion, let alone 1000 million more in his account, even if he has an extra [-] million, he will not be so excited.

"These funds should be kept overseas under the condition of ensuring safety. Don't rush to get them back. In the next period of time, what you have to do is to cooperate with the investment team to carry out acquisitions.

They have been preparing for more than a year, and now is the time to make a move! "

Nanshan Automobile has developed to the present, if it wants to have a longer-term development, it must not simply be bigger in size.

The direction Xiao Hui pointed out for the company is to master chip manufacturing technology.

It does not seek to get the latest chip technology in the world, but Nanshan Automobile must be able to produce all the chips used in cars.

In China's auto market, as long as this part of the business is opened up.

This is definitely enough to support a chip company that belongs to Huaxia itself.

And once you have a thorough grasp of the car chip, it is actually not difficult to make other chips.

After all, the chips used in many industrial devices are not as demanding as mobile phones and computers.

At that time, the chips on various robots, home appliances, and equipment can be localized. Even if mobile phones and computers still need to be imported, the problem of chip bottlenecks is no longer high for Huaxia.

Of course, it is absolutely very difficult to truly realize the localization of chips.

It's not even a matter of money at all.

If it is really rich, the country will put out tens of billions of dollars, and it will be less than Nanshan Automobile?
But many times, the problem is not that simple.

There are no special circumstances, you just want to use money to acquire chip-related companies, and they will not sell them.

Even if the other company agrees to sell it to you, the local government will not approve the transaction.

Especially when the transaction object is Huaxia, the situation is even more difficult.

But the situation now is different. The first quarter of 2009 was the worst moment of the financial crisis for the world.

Everyone felt that a financial crisis comparable to that in 1929 had come.

So they are constantly losing weight and collecting cash.

All kinds of technologies that could not be sold before can be sold for money now.

All kinds of equipment that were snapped up in the past, now customers would rather not have a deposit but refund the order.

At this time, Nanshan Motors can truly display its power by waving banknotes.

The simplest one is the well-known lithography machine company in Europe. If I asked them to buy a lithography machine a few years ago.

Let’s not talk about whether people sell it or not, even if it is sold to you, the delivery cycle will take two to three years.

But what about now?
There are two ready-made production lines in the warehouse, and no one wants them.

This was unsubscribed by other chip companies.

If you add what is being produced in the factory, by the end of this year, their company will have more than five lithography machines.

In this case, if Nanshan Automobile took the initiative to buy it, would they still sell it?

If anyone dares to agree not to sell, the other party can lie on the ground and cheat.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

In addition to lithography machines, those chip companies, except Intel, Infineon, and STMicroelectronics, are not for sale, and other companies such as On Semiconductor, Micron, and Renesas Electronics are willing to follow suit as long as the money is in place. You talk.

Of course, they are definitely not willing to sell if they are not forced to.

But at least we can talk.

As for some smaller chip companies, or some companies that only package chips, test them, or produce related raw materials, it is even more difficult to buy them.
