Rebirth 98, the rise started from ripping off Microsoft

Chapter 506 Eliminate harm for the people! (seeking a monthly ticket)
Bill Gates' reaction was within Lu Yiming's expectation.

And this is the most correct response of a qualified capitalist.

Faced with Bill Gates' inquiry, Lu Yiming picked up the tone instead and said, "Don't worry, you go find a group of people first, the two of us can't do this. It's easy to short U.S. stocks, we have to think in advance. How to get out of here, my man."

Bill Gates, who was born in the upper class of the United States, naturally understands what Lu Yiming means. Shorting US stocks is actually something allowed by the rules. After all, the United States advertises freedom and democracy, and the financial market is also open. Leeks from all over the world are welcome to play .

But everyone on Blue Star should understand a truth, without equal force, don't expect the other party to reason with you.

And which country is the most unreasonable in the world?

America.

The United States' own short sellers are shorting US stocks, which is rotten in the pot.

Outsiders want to come over to fish for meat?
Hehe, wait to be beaten to death with the door closed.

Therefore, Lu Yiming's choice is to use Bill Gates to recruit a group of American dignitaries, pull the tiger's skin as a banner, and do this together.

When the time comes, the law does not blame the public, so what can you do?

Moreover, Lu Yiming has been playing according to the rules of the game from the beginning to the end, looking for someone to take the blame, purely because he is afraid that the United States will not play by the rules and play outside tricks.

As for what will happen to the US stock market, how many technology companies will go bankrupt, and how many people will lose their jobs because of this, Lu Yiming doesn't care at all.

After all, he is not American.

After playing for a while, the matter was almost settled, so Bill Gates agreed to hold a dinner party at his manor the next day to welcome Lu Yiming, and said that he wanted to introduce someone to Lu Yiming, and Lu Yiming readily agreed.

The next night, Lu Yiming arrived as scheduled and met a new face in Bill Gates' manor.

"This is Paul Allen."

Bill Gates introduced to Lu Yiming.

"Paul, this is Lu Yiming whom I have often mentioned to you."

Hearing Paul Allen's name, Lu Yiming's eyes lit up.

Speaking of which, everyone is familiar with the name of the richest man, Bill Gates, but Paul Allen has contributed a lot to Bill Gates being able to sit on the throne of the world's richest man for so many years.

The two met when they were at Lakeside Middle School, a private school in Seattle. Paul Allen was a two-year senior, but he and Bill Gates shared a common hobby-computer programming.

It is precisely because of this that he quickly became Bill's best partner. In order to complete the production of the schedule for the [-] students in Lakeside Middle School, the two of them did not take a shower or go out, and they kept writing codes in the room.

It is often Bill Gates who is too tired to lie down for a while, and Paul Allen will get up and continue writing. Paul Allen is tired, and Bill Gates will take over his work.

In this way, the two people surrounded the computer and finally designed a perfect program before the start of school, making a schedule that accommodated [-] students.

This was the beginning of a collaboration between the two. In [-], Paul Allen and Bill Gates teamed up to create Microsoft in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and began selling BASIC interpreters.

The "New York Times" report mentioned that Paul Allen gave Microsoft the name "Micro-Soft".

In 1980, spearheaded by Paul Allen, Microsoft bought an operating system called QDOS for $[-].

At that time, the deadline for the agreement with IBM was approaching, and Bill Gates and Paul Allen were worrying about not being able to complete the development of the operating system in time. After purchasing the fully functional QDOS, Microsoft modified its code to meet IBM's requirements. .In the end, Microsoft's products were adopted by IBM as the operating system of the new computer, and this cooperation also became a stepping stone for Microsoft's future growth.

Paul Allen resigned from Microsoft in 1990 due to Hodgkin's disease, left the board in [-], and was cured after months of radiation therapy and a bone marrow transplant.In [-], he returned to the board of directors.

Facing this great god, Lu Yiming said politely: "I have admired your name for a long time."

Paul Allen also seemed quite easy-going. He joked: "I often hear Bill talking about you. It's hard to believe that the ancient East can actually give birth to a young genius like you."

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I often hear Bill talking about you, saying that without you, there would be no Microsoft today."

Behind every successful man, there is always one or two reliable friends who support each other.

For Bill Gates, Paul Allen is his mentor.

Lu Yiming and Bill Gates explained to Paul Allen their plan to short US stocks.

Bill Gates has always attached great importance to the opinions of his friends, so he looked at the other party without blinking, and asked seriously: "Paul, what do you think of this matter?"

Paul Allen thought about it, and he also thought that Lu Yiming's analysis was very objective and had a high chance of success.

Today, Microsoft, which is deeply involved in anti-monopoly lawsuits, is the best portrayal. In the past, in the United States, in order to promote the information superhighway plan at all costs, even people on Wall Street followed suit, making Internet concept stocks continue to be heated, and Microsoft benefited from this. , but relatively, the price of the entire industry has indeed been inflated to the point of staggering.

In fact, Wall Street is not without smart people. For example, the well-known short-selling company Quantum Fund was very strong in the early days. It openly chose to fight the dot-com bubble. Its head, Stanley Druckenmiller, directly chose He bought [-] overvalued new technology stocks and made a short position worth [-] million US dollars.

But a smart person is no match for fools everywhere.

Under the frantic hype of Wall Street financial capital, the stock prices of all the stocks bought by Stanley Druckenmiller rose unstoppably. In less than a few weeks, Druckenmiller, who advocated short-selling, lost more than [-] million US dollars. I lost my pants.

In May [-], the company's long-standing customer Hausman Fund announced that it would cut its investment in Quantum Fund by more than half, and other investors also redeemed their funds.

As a result, under tremendous pressure, Druckenmiller had to announce that he would give up shorting technology stocks, turn to join the bubble, and start buying a large number of technology stocks.

So don't go against the market because you think you are smart. You may have a higher IQ than idiots, but idiots have money.

There are many similar cases. For example, Tiger Fund, the old rival of Quantum Fund, did not initially choose to mix technology stocks. The head Julian Robertson publicly declared that the stock price of technology stocks was too high and chose to focus on investing in traditional value stocks.

However, in early 20.00, the share price of American Airlines held by Robertson fell by 30.00% in just three weeks. Nine, Federal-Mogul fell by [-]% in the first half of the year.

At this time, investors are no longer interested in value stocks, and Robertson's choice of ignoring the hot technology stocks has caused investors to withdraw funds on a large scale.Robertson had to buy technology stocks in order to profit.In March [-], he built a $[-] million technology stock portfolio.

In Lu Yiming's view, the current stock market situation in the United States is like this. Too many financial forces have been tied to the chariot, and they are rushing all the way to hell.

Many fund companies have been coerced by the general trend and have no choice but to move forward.

If you don't get out of the car, you will definitely fall to your death in the end.

But if you want to get out of the car, you may fall to your death now. It is really a dilemma, there are no people inside and outside.

And what Lu Yiming wants to do, to put it bluntly, is a job of "picking up corpses", taking away their "inheritance" from those companies that fell to death.

After listening to Lu Yiming's thoughts, Paul Allen asked, "Do you have any specific plans?"

Lu Yiming did not hide anything, and said: "I plan to buy a short-selling fund company that is not doing well, and then re-inject capital. Next, I will naturally create a god."

Paul Allen and Bill Gates were puzzled when they heard the words: "Making God?"

Lu Yiming explained with a smile: "Yes, to make gods, the general public is always blind and easy to incite, so we want to create an omnipotent stock market god for them to help them make decisions, and at the same time to influence public opinion and the situation. , Let the situation move in a direction that is beneficial to us.”

Paul Allen was amazed and said: "I thought you would stand in front of the stage by yourself. After all, when I was your age, my favorite thing to do was to show off."

Lu Yiming quickly shook his head: "No, no, no, I've always been a low-key person. There is an old saying in Xia State that a tree attracts wind. I don't want to be targeted by hyenas."

This hyena naturally refers to the Department of Justice of the United States.

You must know that the Ministry of Justice is not a good stubble in the United States, and it can even be said to be "notorious".Any short-selling company will definitely be investigated afterwards, such as whether the short-selling institution shared the short-selling report in advance, or participated in illegal transactions, and used illegal means to lower the stock price, etc.

Lu Yiming is naturally not afraid of normal investigations. What he is afraid of is planting and framing. It is not a day or two for the old beauty to point out the deer as a horse. If something really happens, who can stand up and uphold justice?

So it is natural to plan ahead and find a scapegoat first.

Afterwards, Lu Yiming chatted a few more details about the transaction, basically everything was ready, the only thing left was Dongfeng.

"When the funds are in place, our plan can start immediately. The speed must be fast. The faster we enter the market, the greater our gains."

Paul Allen was obviously also very interested in Lu Yiming's plan, and immediately agreed to join, but he continued: "The amount of funds you need is too large. It's not that Bill and I can't get it out, but it's too conspicuous, and it's easy That pack of hyenas that brought in the Justice Department."

As a native American, he naturally loves the United States deeply, but he obviously loves the dollar more.

But Paul Allen is not stupid. He knows that making money is okay, but he can't get burned.So he recommended someone to Lu Yiming: "I know a friend in Wall Street. If you want to get a large amount of money, you can ask him for help."

After speaking, he gave Lu Yiming a phone number and also said the person's name.

"By the way, his name is Epstein."

After hearing this, Lu Yiming was taken aback by the name: "Is Epstein your friend?"

Jeffrey Epstein, who founded the Jay Epstein Company, owns a private Boeing 727 aircraft and owns Manhattan, New York City, which is said to be the largest private mansion in New York.

In [-], he was arrested for Piao Chang.

Indicted in New York in [-] for X transaction.

On the evening of August 66, [-], [-]-year-old Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide in a lower Manhattan jail.

The memory of the previous life echoed in his mind, Lu Yiming looked at the note in his hand, and was speechless for a moment.

Sure enough, only the United States can give birth to such a legend - a wonderful work.

Even Lu Yiming, who is used to seeing the big world, is also feeling ups and downs at this moment. You know, he will be a famous "man of the hour" in North America in the future. The dismounted "Sky Fiend Lone Star".

Anyone who gets a little bit involved with him is almost like falling into a cesspit.

And it seems that Epstein has already built his happy island, and it is used to entertain the rich and powerful in Europe and America, such as the current American president, Lao Ke, and the middle-aged prince Andrew of England, all of whom are from this place. regulars.

After all, the older an old man is, the more he likes a young girl.

But Lu Yiming didn't intend to have even the slightest relationship with this "human feces".

"Well, his portion (feces) is too heavy, I'm afraid I can't bear it, can you change it to someone else?"

Neither Bill Gates nor Paul Allen expected that Lu Yiming would refuse to let Jeffrey Epstein join.

Bill Gates couldn't help asking: "Epstein started to get involved in the field of financial investment 20 years ago. He not only established a financial management company named after himself, but also knew many people with personal assets of more than one billion US dollars. Clients. Ten years ago, with his excellent skills, he established close contacts with the financial bigwigs on Wall Street, so he is the best candidate."

Paul Allen also chimed in and said: "Moreover, not only the wealthy circle, Epstein also has close contacts with figures in the political, business, academic and even fashion circles, and knows many big figures, including many politicians."

I have to say that if Lu Yiming is looking for an umbrella, Jeffrey Epstein is really a very good choice.

Apart from his character problems, this person is really good enough to be impeccable.

After weighing it in his heart, Lu Yiming could only hold his nose and admit it: "Okay, I'll go see him."

Seeing Lu Yiming let go, Bill Gates was very happy, and said good things for Jeffrey Epstein: "He is the best at making friends. You will definitely like him."

Hearing the words, Lu Yiming was filled with slander, looked at Bill Gates' old face and said to himself: You call him a good friend now, but ten years from now you will only call him a stinky shit.

Bill Gates didn't notice the strangeness in Lu Yiming's eyes, but continued to recommend enthusiastically: "In a few days, there will be a charity auction in New York, and Epstein will also attend it, so I will introduce you. "

Regarding the matter of making friends, Lu Yiming naturally ran as far as he could. Now looking for Jeffrey Epstein is also letting him take the blame. After thinking about it, Lu Yiming has a clear idea again.

Brother, this is killing harm for the people!

On the way back, Li Yiwen asked curiously: "Why do you seem to dislike this Jeffrey Epstein? There is something wrong with this person?"

Lu Yiming sighed, and said, "This guy has serious problems. If you say he is a stinky shit, even a dog will jump up and scold his mother."

Hearing Lu Yiming's comment, Li Yiwen became even more curious about Jeffrey Epstein.

"Is there such a person?"

Some people look like people from a distance and look like people up close, but they just don't do human affairs.

Epstein is this kind of person. He has shown his evil nature since he was 16 years old. Others would chase after a girl they like, but he would drug him when he saw a girl he liked.

On the road of scum, he really went forward bravely, going further and further.

Lu Yiming looked around and found no one passing by, so he said: "Don't look at the United States, which is bright and beautiful on the surface, but in fact, after tearing off the fig leaf, it is also smelly. Have you heard of Epstein's Happy Island?"

Li Yiwen frowned: "What island?"

He vaguely felt that the name seemed to be something serious, but it seemed difficult to say exactly where it was.

Lu Yiming said: "Jeffrey Epstein moved the company's headquarters to St. Thomas Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands in [-], and at the same time built a palace there, and recruited all kinds of young people. Girls are specially used to entertain the rich and powerful."

"Wait, girl?"

Li Yiwen obviously heard a great keyword.

Lu Yiming shook his head and sighed: "Yes, under the age of 16, what is it if you are not a girl?"

Li Yiwen was taken aback and said, "Isn't this illegal in the United States?"

Lu Yiming sneered: "In our country, it is enough to be shot several times, but they can exist in a stately manner, and even entertain the president and princes. Do you think it is ridiculous?"

Immediately, Li Yiwen's expression became a little strange, and he glanced at Lu Yiming suspiciously: "You understand it so clearly, don't you want to go to the island to experience it?"

Lu Yiming was extremely contemptuous: "Damn! Who do you think I am? Am I the kind of person who can't control his crotch? What's more, even if I have such a wicked heart, I dare not get on this thief's boat. Those who like to take sneak shots, were caught by him, and waited for him to come every day to knock them off? In fact, many people have been slandered by him. Or one of his purposes for setting up this happy island is to slander people."

This matter has not yet been exposed, so many American dignitaries who regard Jeffrey Epstein as a close friend are kept in the dark.

But after all, paper can't contain the fire, and Jeffrey Epstein's final ending was also "suicide" in prison. It can only be said that he did a good job.

Knowing that it was a trap, Lu Yiming naturally wouldn't pick it.

After Li Yiwen learned about Epstein's character from Lu Yiming, he immediately muttered, "Do we have to find this kind of person to cooperate with?"

Lu Yiming spread his hands together, his face full of helplessness: "Didn't I refuse just now? But now we can't find another candidate, not to mention that he is the most likely to cooperate with us because he is a scumbag."

Li Yiwen was stunned for a moment, and then smiled wryly: "Really, after all, we are doing harm to the United States this time. Of course we have to find scum. Then we will take scum..."

"Shh..."

"Ha ha……"
