The Age of Rebirth

Chapter 377 Thinking deeply about the absurd idea
Xu Yandeng could naturally hear the displeasure in Li Weidong's tone. No matter who was woken up in the morning, he would not be happy, because he was woken up by others just now.

However, after he got the news, he only thought about the pain and the benefits of the incident, and forgot the time, and when he called, he realized that it was already too late.

If he hung up the phone, Li Weidong knew it was him who called, and it would be more sad than interrupting now, so why not just bite the bullet and say it directly!

And for such a big matter, he had to tell Li Weidong, even if he didn't hesitate to disturb the boss to rest.

Xu Yandeng considered himself Li Weidong's confidant, and he knew all about Li Weidong's operations on the account.

After all, he is a professional in the matter of futures trading. From how to open a position, how to increase a position, and how to close a position, Xu Yandeng personally taught him.

Xu Yandeng is very familiar with Li Weidong's position details, and in fact, he is also Li Weidong's liquidator, and he will verify every transaction at the close of the market.

This is also an industry rule. Although it is operated by Li Weidong, the money is still in the fund management company. He is responsible for every sum of money and no mistakes are allowed.

Liquidation is the last guarantee to make up for mistakes. He doesn't have to do this kind of specific work himself, and he can hand over this work to special liquidation personnel.

But he couldn't figure out Li Weidong's thinking, and he didn't understand Li Weidong's true operating level. If he made a profit, he could prove the boss's wisdom and prowess, and add to Li Weidong's undefeated name.

However, if there is a loss, or if there is a large area of ​​operational errors, it will damage the face of the boss. After all, at this point, even if there is a slight flaw, it will be magnified.

So he had to do the job himself, and he had to keep it strictly confidential, unless one day it proved that Li Weidong won again, and he was the trumpet in charge of publicity.

He originally wanted to do some operations after learning about Li Weidong's holdings, and lift the sedan chair to fry up the price of the stocks Li Weidong bought, at least to let the boss make some money.

But after seeing Li Weidong's holdings, he gave up this unrealistic idea. He must be crazy to personally influence the world's second securities market.

After Xu Yandeng spoke, he quietly waited for Li Weidong's reaction. After the earthquake, the stock market would naturally fluctuate, and the degree of fluctuation would be directly proportional to the intensity of the earthquake.

And Xu Yandeng used the words "very tragic" to describe the earthquake. These are the original words he got the news, without any embellishment.

"Okay, I see!" Li Weidong pretended to be calm, but there was no way to cover up the trembling of his voice.

Naturally, this trembling was not excitement, but reverence for life, although when he discussed with Liu Jinhui, he felt sorry that no one was killed in the Japanese earthquake.

But when this moment really came, what appeared in my mind was the tragic scene on the TV screen during the Sichuan earthquake that year.

Moreover, it is said that the shots and photos shown on TV are not even one-third of the real tragedy in order to take care of some people's psychological endurance.

After Li Weidong said that, he hung up the phone and sat by the bed for a long time without saying a word. At this moment, he had no idea of ​​how much money he could make from the stupid stock market.

And there seemed to be a trace of self-blame and annoyance, even though he knew that even if he said that an earthquake would happen, no one would believe it, at least psychologically it would be expected.

With this expectation, perhaps in the face of a real disaster, there is a slight possibility of escape.

Li Weidong wanted to smoke a cigarette to relax.

Looking at the pale sky outside, Li Weidong quietly pushed open the balcony door, walked to the balcony and sat down, took out a cigar and lit it.

After taking a puff, he coughed a few times before subsiding. Li Weidong was still not used to smoking cigars. He always wanted to suck the smoke into his lungs and then spit it out. Otherwise, would it be smoking?

But the cigars that are smoked into the lungs are easy to choke, but in general, the nicotine content of cigars is relatively small, and the harm is relatively mild.

But Li Weidong didn't believe it!

I think this is just a prop to pretend to be tasteful, and they are all smoking, so there is no nobility and despicability.

Li Weidong smoking cigars is just a condiment when he has nothing to do, so he always smokes it habitually.

A cigar was more than half burned, and Li Weidong put it on the ashtray to let it fend for itself, but this kind of handmade high-end cigar has no combustion accelerant, so it will go out naturally after a while.

Seeing the sky getting brighter, Li Weidong put off his plan to go back to sleep, changed his clothes, washed his face and went downstairs.

Zhang Hao, who was on duty, saw Li Weidong coming down, his expression froze for a moment, and then he looked at his watch. It was not yet six o'clock, and Li Weidong usually didn't have the habit of getting up so early.

"Boss, do you want to use the car, and I'll wake Brother Xie up?" Zhang Hao had to ask, even if he saw Li Weidong's face was not very good-looking, but there must be no one on duty.

"No, go to the beach for a walk!"

After Li Weidong finished speaking, he walked out of the house. Zhang Hao hurried to the next room, woke up Xie Ming, took his mobile phone, and followed him out of the house.

Li Weidong trotted along the road outside, and naturally noticed Zhang Hao behind him.

When we arrived at the beach, we were just catching up with the low tide. Occasionally, we could see a few people rushing to the sea, picking up seafood on the beach that had no time to escape, like refugees who were at a loss in a disaster.

Li Weidong ran along the beach by the sea. The soft sand made running very effective.

Physical exercise can reduce fluctuations in the mind. After running for a long time, it seems that I think less about the earthquake, and I gradually feel relieved.

In any case, this earthquake will always happen, this is an objective law, and it will not be shifted by human will.

If it is analyzed based on the theory of interaction between heaven and man, this is God’s punishment and warning to the Japanese stupid people, but I don’t know if the Japanese stupid emperor will issue an edict of guilt like the ancient Chinese emperors!
Thinking of these, Li Weidong was suddenly happy, his speed slowly slowed down, his running changed to a walk, and his direction also began to change, walking towards the Deep Water Bay Villa.

The parents went back for the Spring Festival, and there were three fewer people in the family, so it was much deserted. Li Weidong asked Sister Ding to prepare a simple breakfast, and then went to work in the company.

Usually you don’t have to go, let alone go to work on time, but today you have to go to the company early. The opening time of the Japanese stock market, converted to Hong Kong Island time, is eight o’clock.

And he also had to go over to find out the situation in advance, probably Xu Yandeng had already arrived.

Sure enough, when Li Weidong arrived at the company, Xu Yandeng was already waiting. A trace of sleepiness could be seen on his face, but he couldn't hide the excitement and fear in his eyes.

He arrived at the company more than two hours earlier than normal, and drank several cups of coffee to refresh himself, and of course some were to dispel his fear.

After talking on the phone with Li Weidong in the morning, his mood gradually calmed down, and his mind gradually became clear, but a ridiculous idea suddenly popped up in his mind that made him terrified!

Could Li Weidong have predicted the earthquake?

Xu Yandeng carefully analyzed Li Weidong's several orders, and it seemed that each time was a divine prediction. After careful deliberation and bold predictions in the previous few times, it seemed that he could find some clues.

But for natural disasters like earthquakes that cannot be predicted by even the most sophisticated instruments, Li Weidong, by coincidence, started buying put options on Nikkei 225 half a month in advance.

The earthquake will definitely cause an economic reaction, and the stock market is a barometer of the economy, so this reaction will definitely be fulfilled in the stock market, and the probability of a decline is much higher than that of a rise.

The more Xu Yandong thought about it, the less he dared to think about it, but his brain couldn't control him, and he kept thinking about something.

So after seeing Li Weidong at this moment, the fear in my heart intensified.

"Chairman, here are some messages faxed from Riben in the last two hours!" Xu Yandeng nervously handed a few pieces of paper to Li Weidong, which was in the same mood as him.

A fund company that wants to make money in the financial market must have enough reliable sources of news, and often this one-step news creates information asymmetry.

Although Xu Yandeng did not send any personnel in the past, they cooperated with reporters from many financial media in Japan to obtain first-hand financial news.

Moreover, some news will be delayed or even not reported in the newspapers, and they will be directly bought by some bigwigs in order to obtain exclusive news and high profits.

It is said that those who speculate in oil futures will send people to the storage areas of major oil depots to use helicopters to observe the height of the floating roofs of oil tanks with floating roofs to judge the oil reserves and then infer the trend of oil prices.

Those who speculate in iron ore futures will send people to various iron ore mining areas in Australia to observe and count the number of mining machines and vehicles used to transport ore every day.

Information asymmetry is the source of wealth. If you simply use various charts, various theories, and various skills, you will not be able to make a fortune in the financial market, or even lose money.

The words on the several pieces of paper were written in English. Fortunately, Xu Yandeng had already translated them into Chinese. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for Li Weidong to guess.

There are not only texts but also photos on the paper. It may be that the reporter wanted to attract the attention of the crowd. The angle of shooting made people feel uncomfortable. Li Weidong frowned when he saw the distorted corpse.

"Do you think the Nikkei will fall?" Li Weidong asked Xu Yandeng after reading these faxes.

"This is what we have sorted out. The impact of several major earthquakes in history on the local stock market will fall every time, but some have large fluctuations and some have less fluctuations!"

"Moreover, the earthquake is good for building materials and medicines, especially for companies around the earthquake. These companies are the building materials companies that we have collected around the earthquake zone!"

"There are also a few pharmaceutical companies whose products are mainly trauma and anti-inflammatory drugs. It is foreseeable that the market demand will be huge!"

Xu Yandeng is also well prepared for the Japanese stock market. Capital must be profit-seeking, and of course it must be cold-blooded. They will not consider what kind of disaster the earthquake has caused to the local people, but only how much the earthquake will bring them. income.

Therefore, today's stupid stock market is destined to have a large amount of funds pouring into the infrastructure and pharmaceutical sectors after the market opens.

But it is also undeniable that a lot of money will be withdrawn from the plate affected by the earthquake.

Ko*be is the second largest economic zone in Japan, and there are many listed companies here. Undoubtedly, these companies will be sold to varying degrees, and their stock prices will fluctuate sharply.

Although stocks may rise and fall, overall, the risk aversion sentiment will increase, and from historical experience, the probability of the Nikkei index falling will be very high.

"This is our analysis of the constituent stocks of the Nikkei 225 Index. The manufacturing industry accounts for the vast majority. There are few building materials and pharmaceuticals that are good for the sector, and a large proportion of the negative insurance stocks."

"And according to our analysis, almost 10% of the companies are headquartered in the earthquake zone, and the impact on these companies will be very large. There should be no suspense for the Nikkei 225 to fall!"

Xu Yandeng handed Li Weidong a few more pieces of paper, and said in an almost affirmative tone.

Now, Li Weidong has invested half of the principal of 9503 million Hong Kong dollars, and bought 225 put options. Li Weidong is a novice, and the leverage he adopts is not high, but if it is really like Xu Yandeng's analysis, the Nikkei [-] index fell, and the profit is quite amazing. .

Thinking of this, Xu Yandeng couldn't take care of the fear in his heart, and secretly became happy, but thinking of Li Weidong's current worth, it seemed that this little money would not have any real impact.

Sighing in my heart, I am so rich, and I can still make money so much, can I still give others a way to survive?

Looking at the clock hanging on the wall, the time is almost eight o'clock, which is nine o'clock in the east longitude, and the Japanese stock market is about to start trading.

Li Weidong took a closer look at the photo on the fax, and wanted to compare it with some of the shots in Jinling Thirteen Beauties, and see if he could find any similarities!

They are all innocent people, a natural disaster and a man-made disaster.

"Let's go, go to the trading room, this time we have to let Morgan Investment Bank earn our handling fee!" Li Weidong stood up and said.

The account he used was opened at Morgan Investment Bank, and the allocation of funds was also provided by Morgan Investment Bank. If you want to use leverage, you must have matching funds, and naturally you have to get a commission.

This is also a regular source of income for securities companies. In theory, the supporting funds should belong to securities companies, that is, investment banks’ own funds, but this is not the case for many investment banks.

Investment banks also have another name called financial intermediary, which is to take other people's money and then use it to earn the difference in the middle, but this is different from deposits and loans in ordinary commercial banks.

Investment banks cannot absorb public deposits. They can only borrow from commercial banks and financial institutions, and then leverage them in the form of capital allocation for customers or for their own use to earn interest on the difference.

Some investment banks fell into bankruptcy and liquidation because they borrowed too much, did not strictly control risks, and did not close their positions in time.

Of course, you don't need to use leverage to trade stock index futures, and the risk will naturally be greatly reduced, even lower than that of stocks, but the benefits you get will naturally be greatly discounted.

That also loses the charm of futures trading, which is the feeling of walking on the edge of heaven and hell.

The Long March can go from 30 to 3, and you can win in the end, but when you use 30 for futures and you have 3 left, what will your mentality be?
At this time, you can truly understand, what is the spirit of the Long March?
Li Weidong was a little more conservative and didn't invest all of it. Two hundred million is his bottom line, and he won't add another penny, so he needs to keep some money that needs to be covered at any time.

A stud, that is a gambler's way of playing, is a way of self-defeating; unless you have to, always give yourself some cards to turn around.

After several hours of tossing and tossing, the stocks rose and fell. Xu Yandeng also took advantage of the situation to buy some stocks in the infrastructure and pharmaceutical sectors, and there was a large floating profit that day.

It's just that the Nikkei index didn't fall as Li Weidong imagined. It only fell by 0.5%, which can only be regarded as a normal range, but the book finally showed a floating profit.
