my gilded age

Chapter 804 Money, money, money!Fight in the financial market!

"Bai Shiqiu! It turns out that you have been preparing to deal with me for a long time!"

"Brother Ma, what you said is meaningless. I did the transaction normally without any tricks. Moreover, after such a transaction is over, won't your Taobao department take off the hat of Japanese capital? Now? How wonderful, this is all for us Chinese, how wonderful."

"you……"

"Brother Ma, in this situation, you or you haven't done anything less, right?"

"Ha... Brother Bai, what you said is too outrageous."

"How dare you? We may really be a family in the future."

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

Interesting, really interesting. When Bai Shiqiu told that story, which was not a phone call at all, Mr. Ma really couldn't stand it anymore.

What is this doing?
He had known for a long time that something was wrong with that idiot Sun Zhengyi, and at that time Mr. Ma was ready to acquire Sun Zhengyi's shares. However, he had two difficulties.

One is the model when it was first listed, which determined that you, Mr. Ma, could not take too high a stake, otherwise the ratio would be too high and there would be no such thing as a so-called partner.

Shares are power. After Taobao is listed, Mr. Ma's power needs to be further checked and balanced. This is actually the essence of listing.

Plus, it’s money.

More than 100 billion US dollars in cash is not just something to talk about casually. Even a company with the world's largest market capitalization and the largest cash flow like Apple will find it difficult to take out this money and return to the United States in a short period of time.

You know, a lot of Apple's money is actually overseas, and isn't there an important event recently, which is Trump's tax reduction plan.

The essence of this tax cut is to hope that the United States' overseas funds can come back. In fact, this is the same action as the Fed's future interest rate hikes and balance sheet reduction.

To put it simply, for so many years, or to be precise, nearly ten years, QE has repeatedly injected almost unlimited amounts of money into the world. This amount of money is the most astonishing in human history, and the result of this is that it has led to a global crisis. Asset inflation means that housing prices and the stock market have all soared.

Yes, we Chinese people say every day that housing prices are too high to buy. This is indeed true, but so does the United States. You know, the homeownership rate in Americans is less than half of that in China. To put it bluntly, over there It is those who really don’t have houses. The main problem here is that they are concentrated in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and second-tier cities with strong economic growth. Most people in their hometowns have houses.

Moreover, because the cost of owning a house in the United States is very high, the real estate tax means that generally, holding a house for more than 30 years is equivalent to buying another one, so the price is relatively high. It is lower, and the cost is clear. Therefore, the stock and bond markets in the United States are very powerful, and the water injected into the market mainly flows to these two places.

Dow Jones and Nasdaq have basically been in the bullish position for a decade!
In fact, the reason for this phenomenon is very simple. Anyone who understands finance will understand that this is to hedge currencies.

Why did Bai Shiqiu tell Huang Jie that you should stay in Japan and don't come back? The stocks are enough for you.

Just because he knew Ampere's three arrows, which were to unleash a flood of water, how could the stock market be so low?
This is particularly obvious in Japan, because Japan’s fertility rate and population problems, coupled with taxes, make it almost impossible for real estate there to rise, that is, there are no other hedging options, only stocks.

This actually involves a huge problem, that is, why do our housing prices in China rise so fast and so exaggeratedly?

In fact, as long as you look at the time, it clearly shows that when did housing prices in our country start to rise?
It’s 08!

Is it really because of the Olympic Games that the country is rich and the people are strong?
No, the reason for the rise in house prices is because the whole world is doing QE and pouring water into this pool. There is so much water that it keeps pouring.

And what are the investment products in our country?
Yes, there is a stock market, but most good companies are listed overseas. Furthermore, our country still has financial controls, making it difficult to get money out.

What is the most stable and profitable domestic investment?

real estate.

Many people are scolding Chongxing, saying that you fucking bastards used money from scientific research to invest in real estate and have turned into a real estate company.

In fact, from this point of view, Chongxing is wronged, because from a financial perspective, the return on investment in communications is relatively slow, and real estate is a better investment field. They spend part of their money on real estate, which is in line with the company's requirements. The principle of profit is a matter of course.

It can be seen that real estate has a money-making effect.

And, the key is, there is too much water in this market.

Also, why has it risen so fast in the past two years?
It's very simple. There are two things. One is the purchase limit. Everyone has concluded the rules. The purchase limit is said to reduce housing prices, but the result is exactly the opposite. Even if the purchase limit is exceeded, the housing prices will rise and skyrocket.

Why?

Because on the other hand, demolition compensation is mainly in cash.

As far as this matter is concerned, it is completely possible to make up a picture.

For a large pond, the manager's purpose is to have the water level of the pond increase slowly. However, because the faucet is open, the water level increases very quickly. What methods does the manager use?

There is a valve in the pond, I will close it.

Then, I'll turn on the faucet over there.

This is the case in many areas. In the eyes of people who understand economics, it would be strange if there is no surge.

But in fact, this also has an advantage, that is, the skyrocketing real estate prices have hedged a huge amount of funds.

Let’s just say that at the moment, prices are not rising slowly. If these huge amounts of money come out and have nowhere to go, and enter the consumer market, then skyrocketing prices will definitely be inevitable.

Having said that, the situation has changed now. The United States needs dollars to return to the United States. To put it simply, it needs to get back the dollars that were sent out before.

That is what Bai Shiqiu and Feng Ru talked about in her studio in Hong Kong. The interest rate at that time would be getting lower and lower, but now, it is just the opposite.

High interest rates will attract funds, and this makes the U.S. dollars borrowed before become different. They used to be cheap and almost zero cost. Now that the interest rates are high, the costs are rising, and U.S. dollar borrowing has become tight.

Trump is keeping an eye on Apple's funds. He wants to lure them back to the United States, but...his tax cut plan has been slow to pass, and it was only recently passed.

There is a huge logical contradiction here.

Everyone feels that what a country should do is to tax the rich and rob the rich to give to the poor. This is what the government should do. This is also an effective means of balancing social contradictions.

Therefore, the more severe the tax, the more taxes are imposed on the rich and the big companies, the better.

However, people are greedy, and those rich people are even greedier, otherwise they are not rich people.

Tax avoidance, the tax percentage is high, then fine, I won’t pay it, I will find a lawyer, I will find an accountant, I will pay them, let me pay less tax or even no tax, the money they want is cheaper than paying the tax. .

Therefore, if the tax burden is high, it cannot be collected.

Didn't the French Louis Vuitton boss just run away and change his nationality directly? Because the tax standards passed by France are too harsh, the boss would have no money left, so it would be strange if he didn't run away.

Trump’s plan is good, his idea is really good, and there are many cascading effects, but the result is... . .

It is true that a lot of funds have moved to the United States and are about to flow back, but overall, the cost of funds is very high.Apple has not gone back in any way, because now overseas markets are Apple's biggest growth point. In mainland China, people have even built their own data centers here, not in the United States.

Moreover, where did the funds go after they returned to the United States?
Instead of going into industry, it further flowed into the stock market. After the tax law was passed, both the Dow Jones and Nasdaq hit new highs.

In other words, the current situation is that funds are quite tight and there is quite little water outside the US stock market.

Mr. Ma is known as the richest man, so awesome, but it is not easy to mobilize tens of billions of dollars at this time.

So, let Bai Shiqiu take advantage of the loophole.

Bai Shiqiu has a lot of liquidity on his hands, not to mention the domestic ones. The film and television industry, games, mobile phones and other industries have provided him with sufficient capital flow. He himself does not need a loan at all. He used to borrow He had already paid back the money with cheap interest a long time ago, and now that the capital cost is so high, of course he has stopped.

This is actually a squeeze, but he still has a lot of tricks up his sleeve.

Needless to say, Youxi.com is listed on NASDAQ.

In recent years, especially the recent "Overwatch", this game has been the most popular game in the past two years.

Although it is somewhat declining now, this game has also made the market value of glass slag rise quite significantly. If Bai Shiqiu makes some moves at this time, he will naturally not worry about buyers.

Furthermore, Bai Shiqiu also has a considerable stake in the AMC theater chain. Although AMC is still losing money every year, this theater chain has also risen a lot with the market. Making a clearing move at this time will be very beneficial to Bai Shiqiu.

Also, Feng Ru and Tian Fang were abroad at that time. Later, Wang Tian joined and established Bailongxing Company. This company is now listed on the market.

Not to mention that Hong Kong's Penguin stock price has been skyrocketing, and Bai Shiqiu's shares have also risen. This allows him to easily make pledges, obtain large amounts of funds from banks, and obtain credit guarantees.

With so many conditions, Bai Shiqiu offered tens of billions of dollars, and it was just a matter of words.

sprinkle water~
Therefore, Bai Shiqiu said, we will be a family in the future, and this is really not a big problem. After he takes all Sun Zhengyi’s shares, his power in the Taobao family will be more powerful than Mr. Ma. Of course, that small micro He still couldn't get involved in the financial service.

However, in recent years, due to the opening up of some policies, Bai Shiqiu has also developed his own payment model through the joint operations of Dongxinggou, WeChat and TT.

It can be regarded as taking a bite out of the market share.

In fact, Mr. Ma is not a good person. He has been operating in the country for a long time, made many moves on Bai Shiqiu's Red Galaxy, and bought a lot of goods in the secondary market.

You know, the current situation abroad is that the US dollar is tight, but domestically, the relative funding situation is relatively loose. Of course, the overall situation is also experiencing a sharp contraction, but there are some differences.

In fact, there is no shortage of money in our Chinese market. We are not afraid of the tightening of banks, especially large companies, especially Mr. Ma.

Moreover, why did Mr. Ma do this?

Is it really because of a conflict of spirits?
Is it really because of what Li Ruigang said?

Now, Bai Shiqiu is involved in rumors, and the stock price of Red Galaxy is constantly falling!

We have no way to suspend trading, and this is still the most fucking speechless situation.

Boss Jia can suspend trading, because the rumors in the market are all related to Leshi's business.

Red Galaxy is not good. Those rumors are all about Bai Shiqiu's personal style and have no direct relationship with the management of Red Galaxy.

However, everyone can see that there is a connection here.

Bai Shiqiu is not clear about so many female stars. If this matter is confirmed, it turns out that Bai Shiqiu is a super pervert in the entertainment industry. He has played with so many top female stars.

You know, most of these female stars are from the Red Galaxy and are inextricably linked to the Red Galaxy. How could the business not be affected by such a move?

How much has the number of followers dropped?
Now the public price of a fan is about 1 yuan. Based on this quantitative calculation, it is a direct loss of a lot.

Of course the stock price fell, and at this time, Mr. Ma, who was very rich in domestic funds, jumped into it and kept buying goods. It was so comfortable!

On the surface, it seems that there are various incidents happening one after another in the entertainment industry, all kinds of revelations, and all kinds of feuds one after another.

But in fact, behind this is an extremely exciting capital fight.

At this time, the most interesting thing is that the two people were originally fighting to the death and were fighting in darkness in the financial market, but they were here in Da Dong, eating roast duck, drinking wine, talking and laughing.

What do we call social progress?

If this were to happen before, we would definitely draw our swords and face each other. No blood would be seen, no heads would fall to the ground, and we would not be caught.

At this point, everyone has had a complete showdown, so what’s next?

"Brother Bai, how far do you want to fight?"

"It depends on what you think, Brother Ma."

Mr. Ma smiled and suddenly asked a very interesting question.

"Brother Bai, I want to ask you, if you really get the Peach Treasure Series, what are you going to do?"

Bai Shiqiu also smiled after hearing this, "It's very simple, I will change some algorithms."

"Huh? Algorithm?"

"The recommendation algorithm of your Taobao big data."

What does it mean?

Mr. Ma thought for a moment, then understood, and said with a smile: "Brother Bai is a little too naive, isn't he?"

"Call it childish, but I think what I did was not wrong." Bai Shiqiu was very sincere.

After all, what are they talking about?

What's going on with this algorithm?

　　To be honest, I thought there would be no more rewards in the last week. I sincerely thank you all. Black Car... has finally explained the house price issue clearly.

　　What I want to say here is the latest brief news, that is, it seems that I have finally realized what I mentioned in this chapter. Now the compensation for demolition has been replaced by in-kind compensation, which is to replace the house. Finally, the funds are much less.

　　Black cars cannot be completely predicted, but this is somewhat like turning off the faucet a little.
