Chapter 660 Sweeping the World

"Well, I'm awake. How's it going?"

Hu Yang was still in the period of just waking up, in a trance, he only remembered Yu Hongbo's operation, he wanted to ask the result.

Yu Hongbo didn't talk too much, and told him directly that the position has been established, and 10 empty single Dow futures contracts have already been obtained.

"Okay, I'm just asking. Old Yu, go and get a good night's sleep. You don't have to stay up late every day for the past two months, just let them watch over you."

What Yu Hongbo bought today is the Dow futures contract that will be delivered in three months. Hu Yang estimated that the change has not been so fast.

Yu Hongbo responded, and then hung up the phone.But in his heart he didn't think that he could relax, and the past three months might have turned day and night upside down.

It is impossible for Hu Yang to go to sleep now, so he simply turned on the computer and looked around casually.

At present, public opinion in Europe and the United States generally believes that there is no problem with the economic situation in North America.The economic slowdown in the third quarter was more caused by short-term factors, and the upward trend will resume soon.

He flipped through many reports at random, and the general public opinion was about the same.

I don't know if they are blindly optimistic or just fooling around irresponsibly. In short, a certain superpower is still that formidable superpower, and the myth of invincibility will always be shaped by the media and Hollywood blockbusters.

"Ah Yang, wash up and go have breakfast."

Populus euphratica was extremely bored, so he anonymously restored some posts on the Internet.Just after six o'clock, Tian Sichun opened the door and walked in.

"Chunchun, you also wake up so early? Did it disturb you at night?"

Hu Yang saw that Tian Sichun had two inconspicuous dark circles under his eyes, and felt a little sorry.I woke up at 4 o'clock last night, probably she didn't sleep well.

"You still say that I am obviously tired from tossing and don't sleep well, do I really think my body is made of iron? Don't look, let's go."

Tian Sichun knew that Hu Yang woke up early because of work.But he always put such a lot of pressure on herself, and she felt distressed when she saw it.

"Okay, let's have breakfast."

Hu Yang smiled and quickly closed the laptop.He could feel Tian Sichun's concern for him, so he behaved very obediently.

For breakfast, there are nutritious porridge, toast, ham and fried eggs, etc. Populus euphratica ate in silence, and his thoughts drifted away unknowingly.

"Huh? Yangyang, Chunchun, why did you get up so early today? Look, everyone's faces are ugly, can't they be staying up late?"

At 06:30, Li Guixiang got up on time as usual and was ready to go out for exercise.When I went downstairs, I saw Hu Yang and Tian Sichun sitting in the dining room.

This is a very strange thing, they usually don't get up so early, could it be that the sun came out from the west today?
Looking at her son and daughter-in-law, who looked like they were not getting enough sleep, she asked a little worriedly.

"Mom, it's okay. I got up at four o'clock last night because of work. As a result, I didn't have a good rest because of the quarrel. I just need to take a nap at noon.

Come and have breakfast too. There are buns and snacks in the morning. I'll ask them to bring them to you. "

Hu Yang smiled and explained to his mother that he had to talk to her thoroughly, otherwise she would be worried, and she didn't know what to think about.

"Oh, as long as it's okay! Why do you have to get up at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night? In the future, you still have to put your body first. Do you still need to work so hard now?
I'm skipping breakfast until I get back from exercising.Chunchun, you and Yang Yang continue, I will go out first. "

After Li Guixiang finished speaking, she went out.

Hu Yang's parents are very interesting. Li Guixiang is almost an "exercise fan" and feels uncomfortable if he doesn't go out for some exercise every morning.

But Hu Zhiguang didn't like this kind of thing, he would get up later, and after getting up, he would tend the flowers and plants in front of the door, and he didn't like to have "exercise" with a group of old men and women.

"A Yang, what Mom said makes sense, you should listen to what you should."

Tian Sichun actually didn't know how to persuade Hu Yang, she knew the character of her man best.However, Hu Yang is still a filial person, I hope he can listen to what my mother-in-law said.

Hu Yang smiled and nodded without saying anything.

The family members must have good intentions, even if I can't do it, there is no need to argue with them.

Arriving at the office early in the morning, Xia Bing walked in before the chair was warmed up.

"Mr. Xia, weren't you still in Xiangjiang yesterday? When did you come back?"

When Hu Yang saw that it was Xia Bing, he felt a little strange.He casually pointed to the chair in front of the desk, motioning for Xia Bing to sit down and talk.

"I came to you directly after passing the customs early in the morning. I have nothing to report to you. Boss, you moved to the US stock market this time and handed over the work of supervision and risk control to us. I think I have an obligation to remind you. .”

Xia Bing's complexion is also not good-looking, and she didn't sleep for a few hours last night.

Hu Yang instructed Yu Hongbo to buy the Dow futures contract (empty order), but did not notify her in advance, and she only found out about it in the middle of the night.

Previously, Hu Yang sold 4000 million shares of Amazon, bought put options, and even bought short Dow ETFs. Xia Bing thought it was normal.In addition to strengthening supervision during the operation, she also strengthened risk control.

For example, Xia Bing set up a stop loss position for shorting the Dow ETF.When the total value of the fund is only half, that is, 15 billion US dollars, she will advise Hu Yang to stop the loss and get out.

However, Dow futures are different.It seems that the first investment is not much, but it is a margin, and it is operated with extremely high leverage.

A small fluctuation, such as a reverse fluctuation of 100 points in the Dow, will wipe out the $5 million margin.

Of course, under the premise of sufficient funds, the timely payment of the margin can prevent the position from being closed.The problem is, this is a bottomless pit. If the Dow fluctuates 1000 points in the opposite direction, 5 million US dollars will be gone.

The risk of analogy is too great!The most critical point is that the risk is uncontrollable. If you keep adding margins and losing money, when will it end?

"So, boss, you must set a stop loss line for us. You have the final say on how much, but you can't just let the loss expand forever."

What Xia Bing said was right. The most important thing in all financial games is not how much money you can make, but whether you have the determination to cut your wrists in case of problems.

Hu Yang nodded, but didn't speak immediately.

Xia Bing's worries were not groundless, but he couldn't convince her with the subprime mortgage crisis rhetoric.

Hu Yang relied on the extra insight in his mind to deduce that the financial crisis in North America was coming.But he couldn't produce solid evidence, and the data he could see couldn't directly draw the conclusion he wanted.

"Mr. Xia, how about this, the stop loss point is set at the point where the Dow fluctuates 20% in the opposite direction, that is to say, our maximum loss bottom line is 14 billion US dollars."

Hu Yang asked Yu Hongbo to open 14000 short orders at the Dow 10 point, and the reverse fluctuation was a 20% increase. At 2800 points, the loss of the Dow futures contract in Hu Yang's hand was as high as 14 billion US dollars.

Xia Bing calculated in his mind for a while, and then said:

"Boss, if we are wrong, the company will lose $31.3 billion within a few months. Let's hope we have good luck.

Then I'll go first, and I have to rush back to Xiangjiang in the afternoon.Don't worry, I will keep a close eye on market changes, and once I reach the stop loss line, I will operate without hesitation. "

"Okay, let's make a decision for now, you go home and sleep for a while."

Hu Yang smiled and personally sent Xia Bing to the elevator.

To be honest, Xia Bing's serious and responsible attitude made him very pleased.But it also brought him a lot of pressure.It wasn't a matter of making money and losing money, but it suddenly occurred to him that the invincible image he had worked so hard to build could not be destroyed.

Time is when many people are panicking but looking forward to leaping forward.

Ten days later, one late night, Hu Yang was woken up by a phone call.

"Boss, news came from North America that the largest local subprime mortgage company, New Century Finance, had filed for bankruptcy, causing huge losses to many European and American banks and investment funds. After the news came out, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by more than 500 points, and it is now 13487.23 point."

The call was from Yu Hongbo. Today, the North American stock market fluctuated violently due to changes in the news.

He felt that he should notify Hu Yang immediately, regardless of whether the other party was sleeping or not.

"Old Yu, it seems that there is a financial problem in North America. Facts have proved that we are right to be bearish, so let's continue to look forward to victory."

At this time, Populus euphratica put on a piece of clothing and came outside the bedroom.He was afraid of waking Tian Sichun up, so he lowered his voice when he spoke.

After hanging up the phone, Hu Yang was about to go back to sleep when the phone rang again.

This time it was Xia Bing calling.
Xia Bing is especially happy at this moment, Hu Yang has always been the invincible god of war in her mind.But this time Hu Yang changed his previous style, and his investment appeared to be very aggressive, which made her very worried, for fear that Hu Yang would leave Maicheng.

The news tonight finally made her breathe a little easier.The explosion of the first subprime mortgage company actually means that the North American economy has a big problem, especially the financial industry, and the crisis has come.

With this research and judgment, it means that the worst scenario that Xia Bing was worried about before will not happen.What's the matter, the company won't lose $30 billion this time.

30 billion US dollars, or more than 200 billion RMB, is not a small amount.

"Mr. Xia, didn't I tell you not to stay up late? Starting tomorrow, let your subordinates watch over you, and you are not allowed to go into battle in person."

Hu Yang worried about Xia Bing's body and ordered her to die.

Because Xia Bing is different from Yu Hongbo, she is only responsible for supervision and risk control, so there is no need to stay up all night to watch.

"Okay, I got it. Boss, you can go to sleep, and don't disturb your lucid dream."

Xia Bing hung up the phone quickly, although she usually behaved very casually in front of Hu Yang, but once Hu Yang got angry, she was quite flustered.

To be honest, Xia Bing didn't quite understand why Hu Yang took such a risk.Again, with Populus euphratica's current wealth and status, there is absolutely no need to participate in such a risky game.

So what if you win?A lot of billions of dollars in profits, right?But this amount of money cannot determine the future of Huijia Department.

If it loses, it will not only hit the internal morale, but more importantly, it will greatly reduce the confidence in the Huijia Department in the domestic and international markets.

But Hu Yang doesn’t think so. On the contrary, North America’s repeated suppression of Huijia companies has hurt the market’s trust in Huijia companies to varying degrees.

This trend of declining confidence may not show much in the short term, but from a long-term perspective, the loss will be huge.

However, the Huijia system cannot challenge a superpower, and the two sides are not of the same order of magnitude at all.However, the sudden financial turmoil of the subprime mortgage crisis in North America gave Hu Yang a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to turn around.

He just wants to unite the hearts of the people and the confidence of the market again by shorting US stocks and the Dow.

"A Yang, why are you sitting here in a daze? You wear so little, be careful of catching a cold."

Tian Sichun came out from the room, feeling a bit cold in the room.She quickly turned up the temperature of the air conditioner, and then urged Hu Yang to go back to sleep.

"Oh, I'm going to sleep right now. Chunchun, things in North America are almost over, and I won't have to get up in the middle of the night anymore."

Tian Sichun knew that Populus euphratica had invested in the stock market in North America. Although he didn't know the details, he also understood that Populus euphratica couldn't sleep well during this period because of the North American affairs.

Now that the matter was coming to an end, she was glad in her heart.

The following month, the subprime mortgage crisis in North America surfaced.Almost all banks in the world, including HSBC, BNP Paribas, etc., were involved in this crisis.

At the same time, more and more companies and funds are going bankrupt, "F&F" is on the verge of bankruptcy and was taken over, and Lehman Bank exploded.
Although Europe and the United States have introduced a number of economic rescue plans, the financial crisis sweeping the world is like a wild horse that has run away, and it cannot be pulled back no matter how hard it is.

Fear has memory. When the atmosphere of pessimism and fear spreads in the market, it is not something that can be changed in the short term.

As a result, North American stock markets fell
European stock markets fell.
Stock markets around the world fell.

"Boss, the Dow has fallen below 10000 points. As of yesterday's close, the Dow closed at 9683.07 points. The share price of Amazon has fallen to $59, and the put option has also risen to $39."

Yu Hongbo seems to have been beaten up recently. He watched the market at night until the early morning, and at noon he deliberately rushed back to the deep sea to report to Populus euphratica face to face.

In his own words, this is called "people are refreshed on happy occasions", so what are you afraid of if you don't sleep less?

"It seems that we are not far from victory!"

At noon these days, Hu Yang almost always dragged Yu Hongbo to eat in the restaurant first, and then came down to sit in the tea room to drink tea.

"Old Yu, don't worry, hold on tight. The outbreak of such a big financial crisis in North America cannot be controlled in the short term.

Since our direction is correct, let's continue to expand the results, and wait for the US stock index to fall again, and then we will discuss the retreat. "

Hu Yang knew that this time the matter was over, as long as it was still in this way, the Dow Jones Industrial Average would definitely fall to more than 6000 points before it was over.

Now that the Dow has just fallen below 10000 points, there is still a lot of room for profit.
