NOVEL NEXT Chapter 150
As the outside world was discussing this,
Su Chengyang made a phone call in the Shanhai Group Building.
“How much funds can the company mobilize?”
“Boss, we can probably withdraw 3.3 billion US dollars.”
Jason’s voice came from the phone.
Su Chengyang raised his eyebrows. In just a few months, the funds have dropped by hundreds of millions of US dollars. He couldn’t help but sigh that making chips is really fucking expensive.
“He kept 100 million U.S. dollars as operating funds, and invested the remaining 3.2 billion U.S. dollars in the stock market, shorting Apple with all his strength.”
“Shorting Apple?”
Jason’s surprised voice came from the phone.
“Um~~”
“Shanhai has released its first smartphone, which is better than Apple phones in terms of hardware performance and appearance design. While the news has not yet reached the United States, we should increase leverage and go all out to short sell.”
At this time, the Internet was not as fast as the transmission of news a few years later. It would take many days for the current news to reach the American people. Many institutions would definitely not know about it, unless they were global capital like Goldman Sachs.
Goldman Sachs is definitely not stupid. After getting the news, not only will it not inform, but it may take the opportunity to short sell and make a fortune.
Even if Goldman Sachs does not take a step back, with Oasis Capital (USA) betting 329.2 billion US dollars, adding 10 times or 5 times leverage, for a fruit company with a market value of 190 billion US dollars, the leverage is more than one-tenth. In addition, the spread of bad news will inevitably cause Apple’s stock price to collapse, so it is still possible to cut some leeks.
Hearing that Shanhai phones are more useful than Apple phones, Jason understood instantly, and immediately said excitedly on the phone:”I understand, I’ll arrange it now”
“Um~~”
“If there is any unusual market movement, please report to me at any time”
“”Okay, boss!”
After talking to Jason, Su Chengyang called the head of Polaris Investment Company. After learning that there was still 900 million US dollars in the account, Su Chengyang ordered to keep 100 million US dollars and invest the remaining 800 million US dollars in the stock market, adding leverage and going all out to short sell.
A full 4 billion US dollars, plus leverage, is enough for Apple phones to drink a pot. Not to mention a 50% drop, at least a 20% drop in the stock price is no problem.
However, this is not enough.
Su Chengyang is determined to cut a wave of leeks this time.
He picked up the phone and called Lin Haishen, asking him to come to his office.
Two minutes later
“There was a knock on the door.
“Come in”
“Chairman, are you looking for me?”
“Well, sit down.”
Su Chengyang raised his hand to signal Lin Hai to sit deeper.
Then, he asked his assistant Sun Yixuan to pour two glasses of water.
“Do you know about Shanhai Mobile Phone?”
Lin Haishen nodded.
“I think this is an opportunity to short the fruit company. I plan to ask you to go to Hong Kong and take charge of this matter personally. What do you think?”
After taking a sip of water, Su Chengyang looked at Lin Haishen who was sitting opposite him with a smile.
Short the fruit company?
Lin Haishen was a little confused.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is not impossible.
If this bad news spreads, the price of the fruit company will definitely fall, but it is not clear how much it will fall.
But it is not necessarily a crash. For a big company like Apple, the investors and institutions behind it are all big capital. If you want to short it, you may be harvested in return. Of course, this possibility is very small. Lin
Haishen expressed his concerns.
Su Chengyang said with ease:”Your concerns are not unreasonable, but you are not the only one acting this time. There are several institutions in the United States that will also take action. Don’t worry, unless there is capital to take out tens of billions of US dollars to protect the market this time, otherwise, Apple’s stock price will inevitably plummet this time.”
Hearing that there were other institutions taking action together, Lin Haishen was relieved immediately.
Although he was not sure about the strength of the institutions Su Chengyang mentioned, but when he heard Su Chengyang say that it would cost tens of billions of US dollars to protect the market, he thought that those institutions should be very strong. Otherwise, why would he mention tens of billions of US dollars?
“By the way, how much is left in the company’s account now?”
“About 35.3 billion”
“Draw out 30 billion, add leverage to short selling, and use five times leverage.”
Su Chengyang thought for a while and ordered.
It’s better not to put all the money in at once, leave a few billion, and now, except for the Weibo project and the game company that are making money, the rest of the companies are currently burning money like crazy, especially the Youtuan.com project, which has to burn hundreds of millions every month. Fortunately, it has raised a lot of funds before.
In any case, it is better to keep some reserves in case there are really stubborn people who jump out to protect the market.
In this way, Su Chengyang also has a chance to fight back.
30 billion, plus five times leverage, in the Hong Kong financial market, it is not certain that there is an institution that can afford this market, anyway, let’s go first.
Letting Lin Haishen go to Hong Kong is not just the idea of taking advantage of the autumn wind, and the main force still has to rely on the two US investment companies.
Although it is a little late to build a position, mosquitoes are meat, and as much as possible can be earned….
New Year’s Day.
This day is also the day when Shanhai Film’s first TV series”Palace” was released.
At this time, on Wangfujing Street in the eastern part of Yanjing, a new store that has not yet opened was crowded with hundreds of people, attracting many people’s attention.
A curious person came forward to ask
“Brother, what are you doing?”
The man who was pulled yawned, glanced at the other party lazily and said:”Don’t you know?”
“What do I know?”
The man asked with a confused look on his face.
“Shanhai mobile phone, today is the day when Shanhai mobile phone is launched”
“Wow, brother, I’m just buying a mobile phone. There are mobile phone stores everywhere in the mall. Do I still need to queue up?”
“You don’t understand this. This is a Shanhai mobile phone, not some other brand. You can’t buy it just because you have money. It is sold in limited quantities, do you know?”
“Limited edition? Mobile phones need to be limited edition?”
The man who asked the question seemed to have heard something incredible.
“Hey, you won’t understand even if I tell you.”
The man stopped answering.
At this moment, the tightly closed shop door opened.
“”Open now.”
Someone said, and the crowd at the scene suddenly became lively, and many people were in high spirits.
Many people”heard” that this store was limited to only 300 units, and if you were late, you might not be able to buy it, so you have to wait.
And no one knew when the next batch would come out.
Soon a staff member came out and said,”Don’t worry, line up and come in one by one….”
Before he could finish his words, someone rushed in.
“Hey, which gentleman?…”
The other people in the queue were immediately annoyed. There were nearly a thousand people at the scene, but only 300 units were available. This meant that two-thirds of the people who said 610 could not buy one. Moreover, it was already nine o’clock. If they waited a little longer, wouldn’t there be even more people?
Immediately, everyone rushed into the store.
The whole scene was in chaos.
At this time, less than 50 meters away from the store,
Yang Mi, who was in disguise, saw all this and said in astonishment:”This……Isn’t this too crazy? It’s just a mobile phone, is it necessary to be like this?”
Su Chengyang looked at the busy Shanhai brand store, heard what Yang Mi said, and said with a faint smile:”A mobile phone is nothing.”
“But, when the Taiwanese mobile phone is given the meaning of”prestige” and”status symbol”, it is different.”
“Just like when you buy luxury goods, a piece of clothing costs at most tens of dollars, but it is sold to you for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars. Wouldn’t you be willing to be ripped off?” Upon hearing this, Yang Mi hugged Su Chengyang’s arm and said coquettishly,”Are you blaming me for spending money?”
Su Chengyang said indifferently,”I’m giving you an example. Some things are given brand value.”
“Europeans are smarter about this.”
“Handmade in Longguo is backward, but handmade clothes and bags in Europe are ingenious and custom-made by masters.”
“What brand history is given and what brand story is told”
“Unfortunately, many people in China are willing to believe it.”
After saying that, he paused for a moment, looked at the Shanhai brand store not far away which was crowded with people, and shook his head and said,”Let’s go.~~”
“where to?”
“Aren’t you hungry? I’ll go home and feed you.” Su Chengyang said lightly, and
Yang Mi blushed.
