Reborn Millennial Gamer

boom!
The cup hit the door and shattered on the floor.

Liang Luoshi outside the door was startled and looked back towards the study.

Since New Year's Day, Li Zekai has locked himself in. At first he was smiling and kept saying, "I'm sure Lu Fei is a street kid." But it soon took a turn for the worse.

The smile disappeared and my temper became worse.

I stay in the study all day long, facing the computer, either drinking heavily or scolding my mother. The one I scold most is——

God damn Lu Fei!
Li Zekai stared at the screen while the Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg and other media took turns reporting on Lu Fei's net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars, which was beyond ordinary people's understanding, and made various calculations.

The net worth may exceed 1 trillion RMB.

What is this concept?
China's GDP in 2009 was 34.85 trillion RMB.

Lu Fei alone accounts for almost 35/[-]!

Look at yourself again, see Penguin being collectively shorted by Wall Street, gloating about taking 1 million US dollars to join the short-selling army, never would you have thought that the clown is actually himself!

Instead of beating Lu Fei violently, he was beaten violently by Leeks.

His damn desire to win and revenge made him unwilling to close his position and admit defeat. He pledged Xiangjiang Telecom's equity, added margin, paid interest on the securities, and increased the stakes step by step, up to US$4 million.

Coupled with leverage, the rate of return is already negative 540%!

I was able to be debt-free in 2013, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to get back on my feet for another four to five years!
"Impossible! How is it possible!"

Li Zekai picked up the whiskey and blew into the bottle. No one can fall twice in the same river, but he fell into the penguin again!

As soon as I thought about it, I realized that it was time to make a decision.

Closing the position means losing all your money and being heavily in debt. Maybe the mahogany mansion will be taken away to pay off the debt. It will also drag down Xiangjiang Telecom's stock price and cause the value of the pledged stocks to plummet.

That is, a vicious cycle.

When gambling to this extent, it is better to fight for a chance of survival!
If you hold on firmly, there will be a solution!
Therefore, Li Zekai called his think tank team to collect as much bad news as possible that was not beneficial to Penguin.

Just at this moment, Penguin officially announced to the world:
The results of the first day of the limited skin event launched by "League of Legends" on the 13th. The sales of 5 skins reached 1692 million U.S. dollars. Together with the cumulative sales of S1 championship skins, the revenue reached an astonishing 2583 million U.S. dollars. knife.

It seems to be one-third of the annual revenue of "World of Warcraft" at its peak. Wall Street's short-sellers' remarks about the flow and profitability of "League of Legends" immediately became untenable.

"Why do so many people spend money on this game?"

"Why! Isn't it a free game?"

Li Zekai panicked, completely panicked. This was a huge benefit. When the market opens next Monday, Penguin's stock price will skyrocket again.

Close the position!The position must be closed!
Considering that the handling fee was insufficient, I thought about it again and again, and called Li Zeju to borrow money. He did not borrow money directly: "Boss, my dad is at home? I want to take the child to pay him New Year's greetings."

"Okay, you finally figured it out, little guy!"

On the phone, Li Zeju was full of surprises.

Li Zekai asked if his father had been at home these days. The conversation changed and he mentioned borrowing money. He only mentioned the amount but not the use.

"Brother, you're not going to be a short penguin, are you?"

Li Zeju showed an imperceptible evil smile.

The computer in front of him also displayed various Penguin news. The heat of the long-short battle has overshadowed the debt crisis, and it has almost become the focus of global attention.

In order to make Penguin's stock price fall, short sellers took advantage of the truce over the weekend and struggled to find a breakthrough.

Goldman Sachs and other giants are urging the SEC to uphold justice, but civil servants do not work on weekends, not to mention that all employees have been working overtime continuously for this matter. It is impossible to work overtime, and absolutely not.

The SEC obviously can’t count on it!

After all, from collecting evidence to filing an investigation, that is after the market opens on Monday, and grass may grow on the graves of short sellers.

The SEC can't count on it, let alone other regulatory authorities. It has an ambiguous attitude. It looks like it's helping the short sellers, but it also seems like it's helping the long sellers and dragging down the short sellers. It gives a glimmer of hope and continues to fish for the short sellers. Don't close the position or continue to increase the position. .

As a last resort, the short sellers could only send Goldman Sachs, who had a "good relationship" with Mr. Lu, to give Lu Fei a chance for peace talks.

Lu Fei refused directly. He was very busy, busy with how to spread the money he gained from short selling. His first target was Nvidia. At this time, the stock price reached a historical low.

By the way, we also hired a lot of people from Nvidia and AMD, invested in expanding the GPU team, and laid out the mining trend and Bitcoin.

We can’t let Nvidia, AMD, Colorful and other graphics card manufacturers make a lot of money. Is there no logic at all?
The mining boom is an excellent time to develop graphics cards!
After discussing with Su Zifeng and others about the strategic plans for CPU, GPU, FPGA, and AI, Lu Fei dragged his exhausted body and flew to Hantang North America Branch in Los Angeles.

"What are you looking at?"

The office door was locked. Ivanka knelt on her knees, swallowed the red wine, raised her head, and looked up at him.

"I'm wondering how many fund managers will jump off the building when the market opens tomorrow. It would be great to jump from this height."

Lu Fei touched his chin.

"Uncle Carl asked me to remind you to close when the tide is good. Penguin's stock cannot be pushed up by retail investors forever. Sooner or later it will fall back. So many short sellers are not leaving the market now because they are betting that next week will be the beginning of the ebb." Ivan Kaza blinked.

“So Icahn is going to short Penguin next week?”

Lu Fei held her head and pressed it down.

"I-I don't know..."

Ivanka looked at him aggrievedly, "Why do you look so excited? Aren't you afraid of Uncle Carl shorting Penguin?"

"Afraid? I'm afraid he won't short the penguin!"

"Will the penguin continue to rise? Why?"

"As far as the IQ inherited from your family's genes, you don't even understand it."

"That's why I need you to improve it."

Ivanka put her hands behind her back and wore a silver bracelet.

"Let's talk about the old business you know."

Lu Fei took a breath and said, "I read the script of "Pacific Rim" and it doesn't work. I have to change it again."

Ivanka said vaguely: "How do you want to change it?"

"The story background and setting of "Pacific Rim" are too complicated. It has to take into account both literary and martial arts. It is impossible to explain it clearly in one movie, especially the origins of the giant beasts. I think we can learn from the setting of Godzilla. .”

"Godzilla?"

"Yes, Godzilla is set to be a creature from ancient times. It only revives because of the increase in nuclear radiation on the surface due to nuclear testing. Then the same reason can be used for the giant beasts to wake up, even mutate, destroy cities, and humans unite, Robots were developed, and finally the collective wisdom and efforts of mankind defeated the giant beast.”

Lu Fei smacked his lips, "What do you think?"

Ivanka nodded in agreement: "If the box office goes well, the next series can be linked with Godzilla, but American audiences may be tired of mecha movies like "Pacific Rim" and there may be nothing new. feel……"

"The main market is not only the West, but also the East. Do you know the box office of "Avatar" in China?"

"About $2.5 billion."

"If a Chinese-foreign co-production like "Pacific Rim" is well made, it may earn 1 million or even 1.5 million US dollars."

"But Guo Fan will be the director and Wu Jing will be the male protagonist. Should we reconsider it?" Ivanka suggested, "We don't have to change the director, but would it be better to change the lead to Jack Cheng?"

Lu Fei had a straight face and was condescending, "Jack Cheng is too old. China needs more independent movie stars, and he is an artist from the Han and Tang Dynasties. Is there any problem?"

"What problem can I have? Anyway, you are not interested in money. You don't care too much whether you make money or lose money." Ivanka said with admiration in her eyes, "Do you think it's too late for me to be long Penguin now?"

"The water here is very deep. If you can't control it, a wave will drown you." Lu Fei smiled coldly.

"I can't control the penguin, but I can control you. Today is Sunday, don't leave, okay? Go to the hotel, and I will continue to report the company's new year plan to you."

Ivanka's eyes were full of earnestness.Lu Fei nodded, made a phone call, and temporarily changed tonight's itinerary. Tomorrow's schedule will remain the same, so he can still fly to Xiangjiang.

Ivanka was surprised, "Isn't Penguin at a critical moment? Are you sure you can go to Xiangjiang at this time?"

"I want to attend the founding ceremony of the Caifubao Xiangjiang joint venture. Of course, this is just an excuse. It doesn't hurt to tell you the real reason. Because if I don't go to Xiangjiang, how can Wall Street come by plane with money and sincerity to beg me as a daddy? Woolen cloth!"

Lu Fei opened the drawer and went to get the items with a smile.

"do not."

"how?"

"Then I also beg you, can you be my child's daddy?" Ivanka begged softly, her eyes as charming as silk, "Please!"

"Emmm..."

Lu Fei pulled off his bright red tie and threw it aside.

The next day, Monday morning, I sorted out the information on the semiconductor industry and high-tech patent fields that would be used for research on the flight, and the flight departed back to Hong Kong at 02:30 in the afternoon.

At this time, Penguin stock changed!

After the opening, the stock price has been fluctuating in the range of 5% to 25%, unable to go up or down, because the carrot and stick offensive of short sellers in the past two days has caused many retail investors to waver.

The bulls who originally beat up Wall Street split. Many people chose to take profits, and many people became "traitors" and joined the short-selling queue, because everyone knows that the stock price cannot always be pushed up. fall.

After eating the short position, it is natural to take the long position.

Under the influence of such psychology, at noon, it finally shot higher and fell back, closing a huge upper shadow line.

Seeing this scene, the short sellers were extremely excited. Finally, the pain was finally over. Even the good news about the huge profit of "League of Legends" only caused Penguin to rise by 15.6%.

It can be seen that the upper limit has been reached.

Then it’s the carnival moment of short selling.

The short sellers who saw the light before dawn were extremely active. In addition to continuing the empty ladder attack, they also increased margin calls and insisted on getting back their previous losses with profits.

"How about it?"

Lu Fei sat in the Rolls-Royce and looked at Xu Xin.

"John said that the fish has taken the bait. In addition to Wall Street, many hedge funds in Hong Kong that had retreated have rushed back. Now we can catch all the short sellers."

Xu Xin raised a smirk on her lips.

"Is the reporter arranged?"

"Your whereabouts have been unilaterally leaked to Bloomberg. The media is probably waiting at the airport."

"Actually, I was asking about the Penguin press conference."

Lu Fei's eyes shone brightly.

After a while, when they arrived at the airport, the Bloomberg reporter who had been squatting for a long time immediately rushed forward. Regardless of the obstruction of more than a dozen bodyguards such as Wang Ben, he shouted: "Lu! Lu!"

"If it's a question about Penguin, I don't think there's any need to ask. I don't want to be misunderstood by the SEC as manipulating the stock price."

Lu Fei shrugged.

"Lu, where are you going? Are you going back to China?" The reporter didn't waste time and got straight to the point.

Lu Fei nodded, "I want to go to Xiangjiang."

"Lu, are you going to Xiangjiang to raise funds?"

The reporter's eyes lit up and he quickly asked: Mainland China is different from Xiangjiang, which is one of the core financial centers in China.

Lu Fei shook his head, indicating that he was not.

"Lu, now Penguin's market value has reached more than 3000 billion US dollars. Do you think it will rise or fall next?"

Lu Fei ignored him and raised the corners of his mouth.

The reporter was a little helpless. He didn't ask three questions in a row. What should he do? He said helplessly: "Since you are going to Xiangjiang soon, do you have anything to say? Anything is fine."

"What do you want to say?"

Lu Fei waved his hand, "There is not much time left for short sellers. Enjoy this week. See you in Xiangjiang."

"Lu, can I take a picture of you?"

The photographer made a small request, and saw Lu Fei walking forward quickly. He thought there was no chance of refusing, but suddenly he turned around, faced the camera, and made an "anti-V" gesture with his two fingers.

This is Fatty Qiu’s classic gesture!
There is no doubt that this is contempt for short sellers and an insult to short sellers. Once the photos and reports were released on Twitter, Facebook and other platforms, short sellers became furious after holding back their anger.

nnd, have you figured out the situation?

The advantage is now mine!

Citron, Melburn, Castle, 72 Points and other funds were ecstatic and nervous before venting on Twitter.

"Lu is afraid of seeing Penguin's stock price plummeting. As the 'Eastern Stock God', he is afraid of seeing his crown fall."

"Farewell, Huaxia Lu!"

"Lu, thank you for the beautiful knife! You have come all the way here, what kind of spirit is this? This is the selfless international spirit!"

"God will not always favor you!"

"One cup for mainland China and one cup for retail investors."

"When will I see you again after leaving this time, Lu, if I have the chance, I will take the money from shorting Penguin and then short Feigou!"

"........."

Just when the short sellers were so high that they could pop the champagne at halftime, after the market closed in the afternoon, Penguin suddenly held a press conference. This press conference was not presented by Lu Fei, but by Lu Huateng. This was the first time. In a big battle, it is inevitable to be nervous.

The first two sentences were a bit stilted, but they soon became smoother, and the information about Penguin's shareholding structure was briefly communicated.

HIM Group holds 21.2% of the shares…

The partner team including Lu Huateng holds a total of 10.6%, John Paulson has 4.9%, Buffett has 3.9%, and small shareholders such as Michael Berry, BlackRock, and Bill Gates all add up to 3%. [-]%.

Mr. Lu himself, plus the 4.9% of the Trisolaris Fund, and the locked call options, hold a total of 49.2%!

In other words, there are currently only 7.2% of the outstanding shares on the market, and what is the extent of the short positions?

Immediately afterwards, the New York Stock Exchange announced these data. The short position has reached 21.8%. What does it mean?
Squeeze!

And it’s a big short squeeze with a difference of 14.6%!

Just as soon as it appeared, the cheerful fund managers who were still immersed in the cheerful atmosphere suddenly stopped smiling on their faces, typing with their fingers, and... their heartbeats seemed to have stopped.

impossible!Absolutely impossible!
Immediately afterwards, in the video, Lu Huateng repeated what Lu Fei said, "There is not much time left for short sellers."

"Conspiracy, this must be Lu Fei's conspiracy!"

Li Zekai's eyes widened and his heart beat wildly. He originally asked Li Zeju to borrow the handling fee for closing the position, but he also put it into the short order because Penguin's fundamentals showed signs of falling.

Co-authored, this is all Lu Fei fishing!

Not surprisingly, retail investors who are ready to sell will definitely hold their stocks tightly. In this way, institutions will have fewer stocks to buy to close their positions, and they will have to snap up even more frantically, and then the stock prices will be pushed up. Those who have stocks in their hands are even more reluctant to sell them. The stock price spirals upward, and the number of stocks circulating in the market is infinitely close to 0%. Penguin's stock price can definitely break through the sky.

Perhaps retail investors are really going to be taken to the moon by Lu Fei!
And what about him, rooftop?
Li Zekai swallowed his saliva, despair swept through his body.

Dad, help me!
