Chapter 460 God of Wall Street Short Selling (5k)

"Master Gao, haha, don't worry, if conditions permit, Xiangjiang, we will definitely come back."

"Minister Gong, have you seen the news? Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to Gao Sheng, when can we have the wedding wine for Ling Ai and us? No, I asked for Mr. Xu..."

"Hey, Xu Lei! The closing price is too exaggerated? Don't be too surprised, Feigou.com is going anywhere, as long as you continue to work steadily, what? I was selected as one of the 25 most influential business leaders in the country for the year?"

"Gates? Haha, you bought 1.03%, don't sell it, wait to get rich, ah, yes, we have a celebration party tonight, no problem, I'll get someone to prepare an invitation letter for you, and you still have friends who want it Come here together, how many? It’s okay, I can handle everything, leave it to me, by the way, the parties on Wall Street are more fun.”

Calls came one after another, and Lu Fei couldn't handle it any longer. He walked out of the exchange quickly, followed by Lu Huateng, Zeng Liqing and others, and a group of people rushed out.

Wang Ben gave a look, and the driver's bodyguard parked the bulletproof commercial vehicle firmly on the side of the road. Just as he was about to get out of the car, Ivanka took the first step, just like a secretary opening the door for the boss.

"Roger, when I go to Los Angeles to find a chance to chat with you, don't worry, Spotify will always have your place."

Lu Fei put down his phone and looked sideways.

"May I go with you?"

Ivanka flicked her blond hair and looked eagerly.

"You?" Lu Fei raised his eyebrows.

Ivanka raised her chest generously, showing a graceful figure, "There will be many celebrities and tycoons at such a grand event. You may need a female companion who understands the rules, and it may come in handy."

"Alright."

Lu Fei glanced up and down, but did not refuse. He made a gentlemanly gesture of please, ladies first, and let Ivanka put his arm into the car, and then he got into the car.

The celebration banquet was held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, a landmark hotel in Manhattan, which is enough to be called the focus of New York. In the resplendent and towering lobby, the floor was inlaid with marble, and the white columns were as thick as three people hugging each other.

"Whoa whoa..."

Ivanka just entered the banquet hall, showing an awkward but polite smile.

"how?"

Lu Fei followed her gaze, and saw the wolf men and women on Wall Street having fun. They couldn't tell whether they were traders or investment managers. The wolf kisses were lingering and broadcast live.

The Wall Street elites in suits and leather shoes next to them gathered around to watch, hugging and laughing wildly.

"Look, over there!"

Ivanka pointed to another circle of the party. They jumped up and down, obviously not drinking, but they were crazy and exaggerated, shouting the slogan of the legendary organization Dian Zhongdian loudly, no matter men or women, regardless of the occasion and status, they were free and unrestrained, No different from beasts.

"This group of guys is like this. They usually look like dogs, and they have a lot of fun in private."

Lu Fei took it for granted and shouted "Peter Sear" loudly. His master Moritz is a legendary partner of Sequoia, and he himself is also a vice president who has the potential to become a partner.

Peterhill coughed a few times, and the gang finally calmed down a bit, shifted the battlefield, and then threw two pieces of mints into their mouths to cover up the smell of leaves in their mouths.

"Hey, Wall Street legend!" He greeted enthusiastically, but when he saw Ivanka, a fair-skinned and beautiful blonde girl, his eyes straightened, "Lu, this lady is yours..."

Ivanka nodded politely and said, "Female companion."

"Wuhu~"

The two looked at each other and smiled tacitly.

Lu Fei raised his lips: "Have you been promoted? The Penguin case is not enough for you to be promoted to partner?"

"It's almost like 99.9%."

Peter Sear shrugged, "I thought the Facebook you recommended would help me do the 0.01% of the fuck, but there seems to be something wrong with Zuckerberg?"

"Oh?"

Lu Fei couldn't help being curious.

"The founders of Facebook are breaking up. Zuckerberg wants Saverin out, but he is a co-founder after all. It is not easy to kick him out." Peter Sear said strangely, "He didn't ask you for advice? You But the third largest shareholder!"

"I'll find a time to have a good talk with them."

Lu Fei touched his chin, his eyes flickering.

After a while, distinguished guests from New York celebrity circles and Wall Street arrived one after another. At this time, three white men who were surrounded by many stockbrokers came over.

"Black Stone, Su Shimin."

Peter Sil reminded in a low voice, Lu Fei smiled and shook hands with him.

And the two next to him, a young man with a face, is relatively unknown, and the other has a lot of background, and he is the notorious Wolf King of Wall Street-Carl Icahn.

"You shouldn't be here, nobody likes them here."

Peter Sil frowned.

"It's not illegal to go to a party."

Carl Icahn said with a smile: "Besides, I'm just here to play with old friends. By the way, I will take a look at Huaxia Lu, who detonated Wall Street and made Buffett make an exception to buy technology stocks! It's you, right?"

Ivanka looked at Lu Fei talking to them, and let out a sigh of relief. Carl Icahn has blood on his hands. The old man likes to raid companies. After buying a huge amount of shares in the company he is looking for, he will secure his position as a strategic shareholder. Start to force the company to make changes, let the stock price rise rapidly in a short period of time before selling.

Unlike Buffett, who relies on corporate growth and value-added profits.

Carl Icahn said: "Lu, you made a very wise decision by announcing that one of your online games is free before listing to avoid fluctuations in the stock price, but it is inevitable that Penguin will release free games in the future. "

Lu Fei shook the red wine, "Are you referring to "Miracle", right? In the financial report we announced, free of charge did not affect the company's profit, but increased the turnover."

"Can free-to-play games make more money?"

Carl Icahn expressed his aspirations on behalf of Wall Street capital, bluntly saying that he is not optimistic about the profit model of free games.

There is no successful precedent in the United States at all. It is more like a gimmick, and often a gimmick does not have long-term vitality.

"Time will tell, and Penguin's game business is not only a free profit model, but also stand-alone. We have reached a cooperation with Microsoft."

Lu Fei squinted his eyes, knowing that this guy is here to cause trouble, declare war?Or deliberately to stimulate people?
The tree is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it. Penguin was attacked during the quiet period, and now it has just been listed, and it is being targeted by big short sellers?
There are bad guys on Wall Street!

Goldman Sachs, Fuguo, and Merrill Lynch are eyeing a group of animals.

"Whoa, Microsoft!!"

For a moment, there was a lot of exclamation in the audience. This is good news. If it is spread, the stock price will break through the $160 mark tomorrow.

"Our analysts have been bullish on Penguin for the long term, giving either a 'buy' or a 'strong buy'.

Su Shimin showed a friendly smile, and introduced the young man with him to Lu Fei, "His name is Jonathan Gray."

"I understand, he is your disciple."

Lu Fei shook hands with him.

Jonathan Gray is in charge of Blackstone's real estate business, and uses CDO, CDS and other derivatives to operate. He chatted eloquently about "subprime mortgage" under the booing of everyone.

"Subprime mortgage" is one of the hottest topics on Wall Street, and it quickly attracts more and more audiences.

John Paulson stood on the periphery, through the gaps in the crowd, saw Lu Fei holding a wine glass, without saying a word, mustered up the courage to ask:

"But subprime loans are risky, in case of default..."

"Sir, don't worry too much. A subprime mortgage bond structure, with about 25% mezzanine and subordinated bonds under the AAA bonds, which will take losses first, is a perfectly safe buffer."

Jonathan Gray is complacent: "If you want to exceed this 25% loss, unless half of the owners default, or the house price falls by half, or the Iraq war is brought back to the mainland, is it possible?"

"Hahaha~"

In an instant, the air was filled with joy.

"Lehman Brothers has already relied on subprime bonds, and this year's income is at least 30% higher than last year."

"Many companies are no longer satisfied with the bonds of loan companies and package them into mortgage bonds. As far as I know, Bear Stearns and HSBC have specially established and acquired several loan companies. UBS, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley are all doing this .”

"..."

"Since it is so safe, why not make P2P into bonds and stuff them into the structure of subprime mortgage bonds?"

At this moment, the familiar voice sounded again.

Lu Fei immediately cast his eyes away, looking left and right.

"Wall Street already has a business like this!"

乔纳森格雷说：“有20多家贷款公司成立了P2P网站，华尔街大大小小30多家公司也打包P2P债券，规模超过了100亿美刀。”

"Pfft~"

The corners of Lu Fei's lips twitched wildly. The P2P bond trick is the same as Lu Yun's Huabei routine. It's really America, self-taught, financial innovation, but why is it only 100 billion?
It's not that the Chinese people look down on such a thunderstorm!
Add at least one "0", and 1000 billion will be delivered!

"Lu, what are you laughing at?" Peter Sil asked.

"Oh, I think of happy things."

Lu Fei moved his gaze, finally found John Paulson, pointed out, and asked, "Who is he?"

"You better not touch him"

Peter Sil looked over and easily explained the history.

A junior on Wall Street, who manages the $10 billion Paulson hedge fund, its performance is so-so.

"What's up with him?"

"He's crazy. He asks people for money, saying that the subprime mortgage is going to collapse, and wants investors to accompany him to short the real estate loan market. Do you think he is crazy!"

"It is indeed a neurosis."

Lu Fei narrowed his eyes into a slit, thoughtful.

.........

Half an hour later, the celebration banquet reached its climax.

Lu Fei, Zeng Liqing and others had red faces, hooked their shoulders, and held up Lafite to blow on the bottle, wild and unrestrained.

"dadada~"

"Continue to play music, continue to dance! Mr. Lu said no one should stop!"

With a cigar in his mouth, Lu Huateng shook his head and looked like an Uncle Liu. His whole body was shaking and dancing to the tune of the DJ, completely different from his usual obedient boy.

In the dim light, the colored balls are spinning.

Tired of dancing, Lu Fei withdrew from the center of Qunhe's dance hall, took out a cigarette case from his pocket, and lit the cigarette.

In sight, Ivanka handed over a handkerchief, "How can you leave your girlfriend behind and go dancing alone? Even though you are my boss!"

"Don't worry, you and I have other arrangements."

Lu Fei wiped off his sweat, and immediately put one hand on her waist without hesitation, keeping his body very close, like a wingman accompanying the flight, patrolling around the banquet hall, and finally locked on to the target——

John Paulson.

He is a Wall Street legend. Although he is not the prototype of "The Big Short", he did the same thing, but he did it harder. He was bearish in the subprime mortgage crisis and made more than 200 billion US dollars.

Proper "Wall Street Sky God" and "God of Making Money".

However, at this time, on the contrary, it was almost to the point where everyone hated him, and dogs hated him when they saw him. When investors saw him, they all distanced themselves, fearing to avoid him.

"fuxk, failed again!"

John Paulson raised his neck and drank the wine in one gulp, feeling unwilling but helpless, ready to leave in frustration.

At this moment, someone tapped lightly on the back.

John Paulson turned his head, saw the silhouette of the person coming in the dim environment, and suddenly felt unable to breathe:

"Oh, buy it! Lu!"

"Hi 'John', may I call you that?"

"Of, of course, you are my idol! Challenge Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and other investment banks in gold. Your long operation is the second perfect investment I have ever seen. The first perfect is that you persuade Buffett to invest Penguin, it's just amazing!"

"Thank you." Lu Fei got straight to the point, "I heard that you are raising a fund to short CDOs. I don't know what basis you have. Do you think subprime mortgages are going downhill?"

"I found out that the largest subprime mortgage company, Ameriquest Mortgage, had irregular lending behavior in a $3.25 million transaction. I don't think this is the first case. There must be many cases."

John Paulson licked his lips and explained.

Ivanka frowned, "It doesn't matter if it is not standardized. Could it be that the AAA bond will default? It's too worrying, and the whole Wall Street is not worried."

"There is no market in this world that only goes up but not down!"

With a serious face, John Paulson repeatedly emphasized that this is a conclusion drawn through a large amount of data analysis, and Wall Street is underestimating this risk.

Lu Fei smiled and said, "How big is the fund?"

"what?!"

Ivanka couldn't believe her ears, thinking she had heard it wrong, and John Paulson was even worse. He quickly dug out his ears and stammered, "I'm sorry, Lu, can you say it again?"

"If the fund size is not large, I would like to try."

Lu Fei smiled.

"Large, about 1.5 million dollars."

John Paulson stumbled.

"How do you plan to go short?" Lu Fei asked,

John Paulson saw that he did not seem to be fake, and his expression was serious. He suddenly got excited and told the whole complicated fund operation mode. He planned to short the dangerous CDO with one hand and buy cheap CDS with the other hand. Barbara, he said it all.

"I voted for this project!"

Lu Fei took out his business card from his pocket: "I'll offer [-] million."

John Paulson stared wide-eyed, holding a business card with "Three-Body Fund" in his hands, and couldn't believe it in his dreams——

In three sentences, the man paid 1 million dollars for me? !
.........

"Are you going to short CDOs? Ah Yukui thief!"

Ivanka's mind went blank when she heard Master Lu's investment operations against the sky, because her family is in real estate, so how can she not know whether real estate is good or bad!
"Shh~"

Lu Fei swiped his hand over his mouth and closed it like a zipper, with a mysterious smile on his face all the time.

"Don't worry, no one will believe this kind of inside story even if it gets out. People will only feel crazy, stupid, or sick..."

Ivanka shook her head with complicated eyes.

"Hey hey hey."

Lu Fei blushed, let out a breath full of alcohol, and slowly got up: "Sorry, Hua Teng, Li Qing, you will accompany me for the second half, I want to go back and rest."

"Aren't you going to play for a while? There are many tycoons in it, which is good for you to expand your network." Peter Sil glanced at Ivanka, understood it instantly, and smiled as an LSP should.

What look!
Lu Fei rolled his eyes, but he didn't point it out, and went straight to the underground parking lot. Ivanka accompanied him all the way, but kept a distance.

"Where do you live? Take you back first?"

"My family's New York hotel."

"Yo, what a coincidence, it's from the same family as mine, let's get in the car."

After the words fell, they drove their car back to the hotel, and the group took the elevator, but unexpectedly, they were on the same floor again.

Ivanka said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just used to executive suites."

"No need to explain, as long as I don't need to reimburse you."

Lu Fei's drunk eyes were hazy, and he couldn't help being deeply attracted by her round taillights. Under the influence of alcohol, he almost couldn't hold back from slapping her.

"Are you going to spend a successful night just like this?" Ivanka was surprised to see that he opened the door with his key card, and the room was empty.

"What do you mean? How do you think I should live?"

"Those Wall Street women who were sticking to your body on the dance floor just now, as long as you want to, just hook your fingers, and Bichi will definitely provide you with professional personal services."

"Hehe, as long as I want, I can also rent a villa and invite a dozen high-end call girls to accompany me to a private party, even celebrities, Victoria's Secret, and Hollywood actresses, but I won't do that."

"Why are you?"

Ivanka looked up and down, puzzled.

Dong Ge Yin Jian is not far away, maybe it's a fairy dance,
Lu Fei had to be cautious, don't pick foreign wild flowers casually, and his mouth was a little fluttering because of drinking: "Now you are my female companion."

"Hey!"

Ivanka is not annoyed, her narcissistic father has already increased her shame level, "I have already left the banquet, I am not your girlfriend now, even if I were, I would not make out with you, because you have nothing to do with me emotion."

"I know."

Lu Fei spread his hands: "But I won't invest in a woman just because I am intimate with her, because no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is only attractive to me when she is bored, such as now."

"Heh! Not ready to give affection to women? Waste of time? Then find your socialite, Victoria's Secret, Hollywood actress, and I can help you connect!"

"We two have feelings, can there be results?"

"..."

Ivanka's eyes froze, with the Chinese people?She left without looking back: "goodbye, good night."

"Good night."

Lu Fei locked the door, picked up the landline and made several phone calls, issued orders, and explained everything that should be ordered.

Before I knew it, ten minutes had passed.

Half of the drunkenness dissipated, he stretched himself, and was about to take a shower and sleep, when the door suddenly knocked.

I saw Ivanka wrapped in a bath towel, showing two big white legs, leaning against the door, blushing: "Shall we try?"

Lu Fei: 0.0
So active?Try it, get wet!
