Chapter 503 I want to short US stocks
For Lu Yiming's foresight, Jack Ma admired Lu Yiming's foresight: "Mr. Lu, how old is my old stable? In terms of knowledge, you have thrown him to the sky. I didn't notice some problems. If it weren't for you Remind me, I’m afraid I’ve stepped into a pit and don’t even know it.”

In the previous life, Jack Ma couldn't find anyone to invest in the country, and was treated as a liar. He was actually quite aggrieved.

So after getting Sun Zhengyi's investment, he only thought about going public in the United States, and made himself look like a man, so that those old money in China who used to look down on him can take a good look, he is not a liar!

Sun Zhengyi can be successful, and Sun Zhengyi can be defeated. When Alipay applied for a financial license, Jack Ma finally understood what it means to be "a person who is not of my race, and his heart must be different."

Although the country has opened its doors widely, it still strictly guards against death in key areas, and never allows foreign capital to cross the threshold.

The final result, of course, was that Jack Ma had to take the scapegoat of "ungratefulness", parted ways with Sun Zhengyi, and directly kicked him out of the game, so that many years later, he was still teased about this matter, saying that he was not kind.

In order for Ali Group's business to reach a higher level, he has no choice but to bear the infamy himself.

Although he avoided a big pit, but thinking that such a huge sum of money would go away from him, Jack Ma still felt very depressed.

"Hey, if this happens, won't it be a waste of time to go public in the United States?"

According to Lu Yiming, if you want to play in the country, you must play according to the domestic rules. It is obviously impossible to go public in the United States.

However, getting the company listed on NASDAQ was again Jack Ma's bragging to the Eighteen Arhats back then.

This immediately put him in a dilemma.

Sun Zhengyi has not only US dollars in his hands, but also Wall Street relationships and connections, which are also crucial to Ali's development.

If Sun Zhengyi was to be rejected now, this network of contacts would naturally disappear.

Lu Yiming said comfortingly, "It's just dollars. It's not like I don't have one. As for the people on Wall Street, don't worry."

When Jack Ma heard this, he immediately said excitedly: "President Lu still has this way? Do you know people from Wall Street?"

Li Yiwen snorted softly, and said, "Don't forget, Mr. Lu is known as the God of Stocks, and now some people say that he is a Wall Street executioner. Do you think he has connections?"

Lu Yiming shook his head slightly, and told the truth to Jack Ma: "I don't know anyone on Wall Street, but I think there are people on Wall Street who want to know me."

These words were so domineering that Jack Ma, who was habitually bragging, was shocked.

Then he immediately believed in Lu Yiming's statement.

In fact, Lu Yiming's words are really not bragging. With his current record on Wall Street, it is estimated that many people are digging deep to find him, and there are many people who want to connect with him. .

"Mr. Lu, if Alibaba wants to go public on Nasdaq now..."

When Jack Ma heard that Lu Yiming had connections on Wall Street, he became very excited and asked about the listing.

However, Lu Yiming said: "Going public on Nasdaq now is no different from committing suicide. There is a 90.00% probability that it will not last for two years. And you, Alibaba, have nothing now, so go to the crazy market. "

Jack Ma said brazenly: "Why? I can tell stories. Wall Street likes to listen to stories. As long as the stories are told well, some people will invest money. Mr. Lu, you have to have confidence in Alibaba. Now the Nasdaq market It’s very hot, especially the Internet technology stocks, which are in a mess. How could it not last for two years?”

Lu Yiming didn't say much about the reasons, but just sighed and said: "As the saying goes, extremes are reversed, and extreme prosperity leads to decline. Now everyone knows that the Nasdaq market is hot, and you can make money by rushing in. But think about it, the money you earn from Where did it come from? Someone has to gain and someone has to lose, right? Whose money do you think is being lost?"

Money in the stock market will neither be created nor disappear out of thin air, it will only be transferred from one person's pocket to another's pocket.

The point is, who is willing to be the one who pays?
Lu Yiming's eyes were slightly cold, as if he could see through the fog of the times: "The cold winter is coming, if you can trust me, old horse, just listen to me, slow down the listing plan, first find a way to keep Ali alive."

"Is this what came out of the mouth of your richest man?"

Jack Ma felt a little unbelievable.

"It's not that serious, is it?"

Lu Yiming was too lazy to analyze with Jack Ma, and directly concluded: "According to my estimation, more than 90.00% of Internet companies will not survive next year. If Ali does not want to become the dust of history, start to prepare now. And this crisis, In fact, it is also a turning point, after all, so many colleagues have died, for those who can survive, the large market that will be vacated is within easy reach."

Jack Ma, who was originally worried because of the cold winter of the Internet, immediately came back to his senses after hearing this: "Mr. Lu is worthy of being Mr. Lu! Yes, a crisis is also a turning point, and opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. I know what to do!"

It has to be said that among the rich people in the Internet industry in China, Jack Ma does not have a high degree of education, but he can do a great job.

Lu Yiming reminded him a few words, and he immediately understood what Ali was going to do next.

To put it bluntly, it's not complicated, it's nothing more than cutting off those businesses that have a lot of water but no practical benefits, saving expenses, holding cash in hand, waiting for the death of colleagues, and then entering the market to buy bottoms!

Lu Yiming reminded him a few words, and he immediately understood what Ali was going to do next.

In order to appease Jack Ma, Lu Yiming was not stingy, and waved his hand directly in front of him: "I plan to invest another 2000 million US dollars in you."

As soon as these words came out, Jack Ma was shocked.

Li Yiwen couldn't sit still immediately: "You..."

Lu Yiming didn't give him a chance to speak, but went on to say: "Of course, the money is not for nothing. I want to increase my shareholding in Ali, adding another ten percent, isn't it too much?"

As soon as Lu Yiming opened his mouth, Ali's shares in his hands exceeded half, which made Jack Ma a little unhappy.

However, Lu Yiming said again: "The shares I increased are still the old rules, you will help me hold them on behalf of me, and we can also sign a consensus agreement."

Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Jack Ma's expression softened a lot.

This means that although Lu Yiming bought the shares of Alibaba with money, and now the total shares are more than half, but the newly added shares, Lu Yiming only enjoys dividend rights under normal circumstances, and if he wants to make any decisions about Alibaba , all need the consent of Jack Ma.

Of course, if Jack Ma wanted to make a decision, he also needed Lu Yiming's consent.

After several glasses of wine, Jack Ma was deeply touched: "Mr. Lu, so many people in China laugh at me, saying that I am a liar, full of hot words, only you have always trusted me so much."

Lu Yiming smiled and said: "They suspect you, it's because they don't have vision, work hard, so that these people can only look up at your back in the future."

Satisfied with food and drink, Jack Ma swept away the gloom in his heart, and warmly invited: "Mr. Lu, as the saying goes, there are Suzhou and Hangzhou on the sky, and the scenery in Hangzhou is very beautiful. Mr. Lu, Manager Li, you can stay for a few days. God. It’s a pity that it didn’t snow today. If it snowed, you can see the beautiful scenery of ‘Broken Bridge and Remnant Snow’ from here.”

Lu Yiming declined politely: "No, my winter vacation is only for a few days. I'll walk around the West Lake here later, and then I'll go back at night. After the new year, I'm supposed to go to school again in a few days."

Jack Ma wanted to accompany Lu Yiming to visit the West Lake, but Lu Yiming refused.

Cai Chongxin, who had been silent until Lu Yiming and Li Yiwen left, said: "President Lu's shareholding ratio in Ali has exceeded 60.00%, which is too dangerous."

But Jack Ma shook his head and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu never breaks his word, not to mention that he even let me hold the stock on his behalf, and signed a consensus agreement, which shows that he has no intention of interfering in Ali's operation. We can't Belly sinister heart of a gentleman."

Afterwards, Jack Ma sighed again: "Besides, as far as my current possessions are concerned, it's not worthwhile for Mr. Lu to take a second look at it even if I sell the bones."

Cai Chongxin also smiled wryly when he heard the words: "I have rarely admired others in my life. Except for you, Mr. Lu's entrepreneurial experience opened my eyes."

Over Xiaguo, in the sea of ​​clouds in the stratosphere, a Gulfstream GIV business jet is flying smoothly.

Sitting in the cabin, Lu Yiming lay on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.

When we were eating just now, there were many people below, and Li Yiwen had some things to say that were difficult to say face to face. Now there were only him and Lu Yiming on the plane, and he immediately said, "Why did you send money to that Jack Ma again? And 2000 million U.S. dollars, only buy [-]% of the shares? What’s the matter? Do you think Alibaba is worth [-] million U.S. dollars now? Do you really think the money is blown by the wind?”

Li Yiwen was very unhappy when he thought that he went to the beautiful country to harvest leeks, and when he returned to the country, Lu Yiming rushed over to give money to others.

After hearing this, Lu Yiming couldn't sit still, and immediately changed to a more comfortable position and continued to lie down. At the same time, he said with a smile: "Now you blame me for spending money randomly, and then you will know that we have made a lot of money."

Li Yiwen didn't believe it: "Just that Jack Ma? Don't tease me, you gave him 500 million US dollars before, and you haven't seen any results after tossing around for so long?"

However, Lu Yiming said something fair: "This can't be blamed on the old horse. The development of the domestic e-commerce field has just started. Limited by the number of computer users and the insufficient penetration rate of the Internet, it is very difficult to explode. It takes time to settle. The problem now is that the development of technology cannot keep up with Jack Ma’s imagination. It will be fine in two years. We are investors and we must be patient to make money.”

Li Yiwen actually knows this. After all, to engage in e-commerce, the premise must be that there are enough computer users using the Internet. Otherwise, there are not many people, so how can you do online shopping?
It was actually Jack Ma who made Li Yiwen object.

"I still don't understand why you are optimistic about Jack Ma. Now there are many e-commerce companies, such as Meishang.com and Yinghaiwei. Even the newly established 8848 and eBay. They all think Alibaba is more reliable than Jack Ma. Tell me, why did you just fall in love with this Jack Ma?"

As early as [-], Xiaguo Chemical Information Network officially provided services on the Internet, pioneering the Internet chemical industry, and was the first state-owned organization in the country to intervene in industry website services.

After that, Yimaotong launched a B2B trade portal website. In the same year, the English version of Xiaguo Chemical was capped.

Since then, e-commerce, a new thing, has sprung up in the land of Xia Kingdom like mushrooms after rain.

In October 2, Meishang.com received an investment of tens of millions of dollars from several well-known venture capital companies in the beautiful country. It was the first overseas website to enter the B2B e-commerce market in Xiaguo, and even pioneered the global B[-]B e-commerce. unlimited.

In contrast, Jack Ma's Ali cannot be said to be unknown, but he is definitely inconspicuous.

On the contrary, after him, Wang Juntao, known as "Xiaguo E-Commerce No. 1", founded 8848, which raised US$260 million that year.

And among so many entrepreneurial pioneers in the field of e-commerce, Jack Ma has the lowest education, the worst connections, and even the ugliest appearance of all...

But he is still very confident, bragging all day without drafting.

It is impossible for anyone with a normal IQ to be optimistic about his prospects and future.

But Lu Yiming knew that among the domestic e-commerce industry around the turn of the millennium, only Jack Ma and his Ali persisted until the end.

As for the others, they all died in the coming Internet cold.

No matter how much talent and wisdom they have, how deep connections and resources they have, if they can't survive, then everything will stop.

Because in this world, the leftovers are always king.

Jack Ma doesn't need to be excellent himself, as long as he lives longer than other peers, he can stand on their bones and grow stronger, eat more market share, and receive the final victory.

Lu Yiming let out a long sigh, feeling quite touched in his heart: "Maybe Jack Ma is lucky, or he desires success more than everyone else. At least in his eyes, I see ambition, madness, and perseverance. Fighting spirit. And the people you mentioned, whether it is Zhang Shuxin from Ying Haiwei or Tong Jiawei from Meishang.com, are too meek. It is difficult to survive in the turbulent market changes with such a gentle business. "

Li Yiwen seemed to understand what he said, but he still understood what Lu Yiming meant—except for Jack Ma, Lu Yiming was not optimistic about anyone.

The plane landed and everyone went home.

A few days later, Li Yiwen came to report to Lu Yiming.

"All the 27 billion US dollars earned in the United States have been withdrawn. Should the money be remitted to China now?"

Lu Yiming asked back, "What are you doing in China?"

Li Yiwen was suddenly surprised: "Didn't you tell me before that the U.S. stock market is about to plummet, and you want to shift your focus back to China? And you also agreed to the local officials of Baiyun to engage in a few large-scale investment projects. Couldn't you be fooling everyone?"

"What are you talking about? If I say what I say, it's hard to catch up, okay?"

Before Li Yiwen could ask a question, Lu Yiming went on to say, "I'm not in a hurry to transfer the funds back to China for the time being. I still have other uses for the money."

"what are you planning to do?"

Lu Yiming chuckled and said, "I want to short US stocks."

"Huh? Shorting US stocks?"

Li Yiwen was almost scared out of his wits.

"Did you make a mistake?"

Needless to say how powerful the beautiful country is today, since 42, it took only [-] days to rub a so-called "powerful country" that claimed to be the fourth in the world, directly shocking the whole world.

Whether it is military or economic, this is the era of the beautiful country, and now it has developed to its peak.In the whole world, regardless of whether they are convinced or not, they have to follow the lead of the beautiful country.

Let's put it this way, for countries all over the world, if the old beauty scolds you, you have to listen, and the old beauty beats you, you have to endure it, and don't even have the thought of resisting, or you will die a miserable death.

That's it.

And Lu Yiming actually said that he wanted to short US stocks.

Is it because you don't feel like you're dying fast enough?
This is not a matter of money, it is something that will disappear in a physical sense every minute!

As we all know, the beautiful country was founded financially, relying on financial hegemony to harvest the world, and Wall Street is the place that controls this financial tool.Who can be the president of the beautiful country has to be decided by Wall Street.

Lu Yiming's move to Wall Street, to put it seriously, is tantamount to declaring war on the beautiful country.

Previously, Lu Yiming was going to cut leeks in the beautiful country, which was enough to make Li Yiwen fearful, but now, he still wants to go to the beautiful country to cut the flesh and bloodlet it?

Li Yiwen took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I really want to ask now, do you know how to write dead characters? Is the beautiful country something we can provoke?"

Seeing Li Yiwen's nervous look, Lu Yiming laughed immediately, and the old god said on the ground: "Don't panic, I have already considered this matter. The risk of shorting the beautiful country is of course very high, and if you don't do it, you will be blacklisted." , so we have to do it secretly, without making any noise."

"What am I..."

Seeing Lu Yiming speak so seriously, Li Yiwen couldn't complain.

"Okay, what are you going to do?"

Facing Li Yiwen, Lu Yiming did not hide anything, and said: "That's right, I plan to transfer the funds transferred back to Xiangjiang to Europe in batches, and then quietly enter North America to make a layout. And this time, I plan to bring Bill · Gates and other North American local snakes will vote together. They will stand in front of the stage, and we will secretly shoot in the back, and run away after grabbing. Even if someone has an opinion at that time, let him go to Bill Gates to go to the line. .”

It has to be said that Lu Yiming's move was very cautious, and he was very thieves.

After all, this is going to be empty beautiful country!

When I shorted the ruble at the beginning, it was because the polar bear was dying, and secondly, it was because Lu Yiming's investment was insignificant, so it didn't attract Maozi's attention.

But it's different now, if Lu Yiming holds 27 billion US dollars and invests all of them in short selling, the loss of the beautiful country will be immeasurable.

Would a dignified country, the most powerful country in the world, be slapped like this without saying a word?

Is it true that the beautiful country has no temper?
What's more, how can the financial capitalists on Wall Street be easy to mess with?

I think I know history well, so I do whatever I want, and I am afraid that I will die in the end without knowing how to die.

So this time, Lu Yiming decided to be cautious, and he didn't plan to use any financial leverage for a quick solution.

After earning a lot of money, he immediately invests the money in the mainland. Is it possible that his beautiful country dares to attack Xia Guo?
