Wind Rises 2005

Chapter 625 Chapter 622 Buy, buy, buy

Whenever an economic crisis occurs, there are always countless people who attribute finance to the root of all evil, and this view is still very popular.

Don't you know that there is no good or evil in tools, it is only human beings' own greed that is wrong?

The subprime mortgage crisis not only triggered the collapse of global financial markets, but also further spread to the real industry.

The economy is in rapid decline and people's consumption is weak, which has further led to a reduction in manufacturing orders. Layoffs and unemployment are swarming across all walks of life, and the whole world has fallen into mourning.

Even China, which is in a period of rapid economic development, is facing great difficulties.

Just like the Magic City, which is an economic frontier, is experiencing various recessions at the moment. Not only are foreign companies cutting back on investment, but private companies are also facing crises.

In the past, even if you invested several hundred million, you would never see the leaders of Donghai. But now, as long as you invest 5000 million, you will even be received personally by the top bosses of the Magic City. This is evident from this.

But this did not affect Ma Liang, but he made a lot of money from it.

During the complete collapse of the subprime mortgage crisis, Ma Liang invested a large amount of money in shorting U.S. stocks. After some operations, I made nearly a billion dollars.

Coupled with the accumulation of more than a year before, the overall income is as high as more than one billion US dollars.

But this is already his limit. No matter how much he wants to earn, he still doesn't have the ability. Sometimes manpower is exhausted and cannot be forced.

Compared with the profits of big short sellers such as Scion Capital LLC, Greenlight Capital, and Paulson Hedge Fund, which can easily earn billions or even tens of billions of dollars, it is not at the same level.

There is no way, Ma Liang is just fighting alone, unlike the big shorts who have the support of an experienced and strong team.

Moreover, his capital is not large enough, and he has already tried his best to be able to do what he is now.

Not to mention those big short sellers, even Sister Jiang University has achieved greater success than him. After all, Goldman Sachs not only has a lot of money, but also has a team of top traders to cooperate.

Although Goldman Sachs is also in a lot of troubles during this round of subprime mortgage crisis, the performance created by the team led by Jiang Yinqiu has impressed the group's senior management.

But facing the praise and promotion from senior officials, Sister Jiang was not so excited.

"So many investors have lost their money and so many people have been displaced. It feels like the work I have been doing always has a hint of blood."

On this day, Jiang Yinqiu called Ma Liang again for comfort.

Ma Liang could only explain softly: "Actually, there is no need to think like this. Those who invest must be adults and should be responsible for their own actions.

If humans were not too greedy, this subprime mortgage crisis would not have happened.

As the old saying goes: No snowflake in an avalanche is innocent. "

"Having said that, I can't be happy at all when I see so many people who are unemployed or even jumping off buildings." Jiang Yinqiu sighed helplessly.

Even though she has been promoted to a middle-level leader by Goldman Sachs Group, she is not excited at the moment.

Finance is the root of all evil. In the past, Sister Jiang Da didn’t feel too deeply about this statement.

But this time, not only did she come into close contact with the bloody world of the financial world, but she also became an "evildoer" among them, which left her a little confused.

Just like what was shown in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street", in this exaggerated wealth game in the financial circle, some people get lost and some fall into madness.

Not everyone is suitable for this circle, at least not Jiang Yinqiu.

This is why she left Goldman Sachs Group in her previous life and returned to China to work in venture capital.

Ma Liang knew that she was kind-hearted and could not bear to see the suffering in the world, so he suggested, "Senior sister, why don't you apply to change departments."

"Change departments?" Jiang Yinqiu asked puzzledly.

Ma Liang smiled and replied firmly: "Well, let's not work in the secondary market department and apply to be transferred to the venture capital department.

It would be much better to deal with startup companies like [Grand Wind Capital]. "

After all, venture capital investment in the primary market is not as cruel as the secondary market, and it can also create good social value, so when you work, you naturally don’t have to endure a lot of torture on your conscience. "Well, then I'll listen to you." Jiang Yinqiu only hesitated for a moment, then readily agreed.

Ma Liang was also very happy when he heard this. If Sister Jiang University hadn't refused to follow him, wouldn't it have been better to join [Dale Capital] directly?

……

The subprime mortgage crisis has not passed, but will continue for a long time.

In the following days, although he will not be able to make huge sums of money like he did in the previous month or two, Ma Liang can still continue to make profits by shorting U.S. stocks, and the income is still very considerable.

However, he didn't dare to go too far. It was the right way to accept it when it was good.

With the income of more than one billion US dollars, it is enough for him to continue squandering in the venture capital circle for a while. If you invest in a few more unicorn companies every year, you will have nothing to worry about in this life.

This time through shorting U.S. stocks through the subprime mortgage crisis, his wealth and cash flow directly increased several times.

When you have more money on hand, you will naturally spend it lavishly, so Huma Liang completely started the buying and selling mode.

Whether it's the United States or China, luxury cars must be equipped with them, and you can buy several of them.

From now on, when I go on a business trip to the United States, I won’t have to worry about renting a car.

Private business jets are not a big problem for him now, so he just buys them. And when you buy one, you get two. One Gulfstream 550 at home and abroad is always on standby.

Huaxia also has the strength to buy a piece of land and build a new office building for [Xunwei Group].

After all, as the business grows bigger and bigger, more and more franchisees and suppliers are received, so we can't always go to a factory in the suburbs to talk.

Building an office building in the urban area can also make it convenient for senior executives to work.

If possible, you can even take advantage of the current cheap land to build an office park near Hongqiao Airport and high-speed rail station.

This not only makes travel easier, but also eliminates the need to worry about insufficient office space in the future.

It will be more convenient for Ma Liang as the boss. After all, he will graduate in another year, and there will be no need to stay in the suburbs.

Having your own office base near the airport is naturally very convenient.

What concerned him the most was that the renovation progress of [Yan Family Garden] was also very gratifying.

With the support of cash capacity, the decoration company has arranged more manpower, and it will be completed in one or two months.

By then, he and Teacher Feng will be able to move in before the end of the year.

It's just that after moving to [Yan's Garden], the two of them couldn't keep a low profile.

Living in such a mansion and being in a busy city, people would stare at me every day when I came in and out. It was impossible to imagine being as free as before.

The required driver and security team must be put on the agenda, and self-driving is out of the question.

Ma Liang thought about it carefully. Lin Fengyun would also have to be equipped with a luxury car, and a female assistant and bodyguard would also have to be arranged.

He checked online and happened to see that the new Bentley Mulsanne would be on the market in a few months. He thought that he could order one for her and use it as a daily travel car.

After such a period of shopping, Ma Liang couldn't help but sigh, it felt so good to spend money!

But after spending it, I felt a strong sense of emptiness. After all, for someone like him, to be arrogant, he would have nothing to ask for in his life.

It feels like there is no goal to strive for in life. Even if you just lay down, you will still be the richest man in a few years. No matter how much money you have, it will not improve your quality of life. It is just a slight change in the wealth figures.

Ma Liang was suddenly a little confused. What do people want to do in this life?
