Chapter 650 Pig Factory
Listening to the roar on the phone, Ian Ball felt as if his head was going to explode and he quickly moved the phone away.
Then, he muttered: "I drank too much at the party last night and just woke up. What's wrong?"
"yesterday?"
The roaring on the phone got louder, and I felt like I was exerting all my strength to feed myself.
"That was the fucking day before yesterday! You slept two nights and one day!"
Ian Ball was a little surprised: "Ah? Can I sleep like this? It seems that I have been overworked."
Ian Ball's confused attitude made the investors even more annoyed and said: "Go and read the news first, and you will know what happened. I hope you will be so calm after reading the news, goodbye!"
"
After saying that, before Ian Ball could speak, he hung up the phone.
"Isn't it just that I got an extra day of sleep? I'm so angry. Even though it's a working day..."
Ian Ball muttered as he turned on the TV.
No matter which TV station, they are all reporting an unexpected incident invariably.
After a moment, he felt trembling all over, the muscles on his face were tense, and his eyes were wide open, full of fear.
"Yesterday morning...New Town...World Trade Center..."
Ian Ball suddenly knew why investors were roaring.
Now he wants to roar too.
But he couldn't roar anymore.
On this day, what was supposed to happen happened. Amidst violent explosions and fires, thick smoke billowed into the sky.
The two buildings were reduced to ruins, and the world was once again filled with terrible smoke.
This day is destined to go down in history forever and shock the whole world.
…
Along with the collapse of the Twin Towers, the stock prices of airlines also fell. The momentum of the plummeting momentum was like a flood that broke the embankment. No matter who came, no one could stop it!
In the office, Lu Yiming sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, watching the shaking and flickering images on the computer screen, as well as various wailing voice-overs.
The coffee in my hand seems to be getting sweeter.
Marcus Baker called. Although his tone was tearful, grieving for the suffering that his motherland was suffering, the joy of getting rich overnight also filled his heart.
Saltwater funds are soaring again.
"Boss, in just one day, we made US$5.2 billion!"
Marcus Baker simply didn't know how to describe his feelings at this time. Initially, he only planned to short-sell Beautiful Airlines. The best estimate at that time was to make a profit of US$1.3 billion.
As a result, now, the other nine major airlines have also benefited from the harvest. If the time was not too hasty and the chips invested were not enough, the profits this time would probably be even more amazing.
Lu Yiming's gamble, which was like a stud, once again won unimaginable profits. Even ten years later, this wealth will still be an unimaginable huge asset.
Lu Yiming said calmly: "Well, I understand, everyone has worked hard these days."
Later, Marcus Baker said with a complicated mood: "I heard that Ian Ball has gone crazy. I don't know whether it is true or false."
Lu Yiming didn't care about this and said: "Whether he is really crazy or fake, it has nothing to do with me. Although he betrayed me, the person who wants his life most now is definitely not me."
Marcus Baker was unable to refute.
After all, Ian Ball's betrayal was of no concern to Lu Yiming, and he didn't even bother to take action.
But for those investors who listened to Ian Ball's words and caused huge losses, it is not so easy to talk to them. If Ian Ball had not been imprisoned in a mental hospital now, these cruel capitalists would be so high and low.
Give him a whole new and creative way to die.
Lu Yiming is not very interested in the life and death of a traitor, let alone waste time on him.
Lu Yiming said to Marcus Baker: "I will return to China in a few days. From now on, the Saltwater Foundation will be left to you to take care of. I hope you will not become another Ian Ball."
After seeing the tragedy of Ian Ball, how could Marcus Baker dare to have other thoughts? He quickly said with fear and fear: "I don't dare, I will definitely serve you with all my heart. As long as you are my boss for one day,
You will be my boss for the rest of your life."
Of course, Lu Yiming didn't even believe the punctuation marks for this kind of nonsense. But he didn't care. In his current territory, although Saltwater Fund is relatively large, it can't even be ranked in the top three. Even if it is
Marcus Baker can do something without breaking a sweat.
Just after finishing the call with Marcus Baker, Lu Yiming received another call from Bill Gates.
"Congratulations, my man, for once again achieving incredible success! This time even God is helping you!"
There is no doubt that Bill Gates was talking about the airplane incident. In his opinion, Lu Yiming's luck was really good. He had just shorted airline stocks and encountered such a thing.
Nowadays, people have a huge psychological shadow on flying. There are long queues at the flight refund window these days. Many people have questioned the safety of aviation.
As a result, panic spread to the stock market, and the stock prices of all airlines began to fall sharply.
Not only airlines, but also companies whose businesses are related to airlines, such as aircraft manufacturing, ticket sales, travel agencies, etc., have seen their stock prices plummet.
After hearing what Bill Gates said, Lu Yiming couldn't help but smile, and said in a thankful tone: "Yes, this is such a coincidence. I don't know if it was Jesus who heard my prayer, or if Buddha showed up. If not
If something like this happens, I'm afraid if the top ten airlines join forces, we may not be able to make money."
Hearing what Lu Yiming said, Bill Gates would never have thought that this matter was bound to happen in Lu Yiming's opinion.
"I called you today. In addition to congratulating you on your success, I also want to tell you something. Richard, the president of Lehman Brothers, said he wanted to meet you. There are even many big shots who want to meet you. Lu,
You are popular in the investment community again! And you are even more popular than before!"
When he said this, Bill Gates was also very excited. After all, he participated in the short selling this time, but because he was afraid of high risks, he did not dare to do it directly like Lu Yiming, so he only made 500 million US dollars.
But even so, Bill Gates' mood could not calm down for a long time. Even though he is the richest man in the world, US$500 million in cash is not so easy to earn. What's more, this money was earned in just two days!
This is liquid capital, real money, not some valuation or other assets.
Those investors in the Saltwater Fund who didn’t believe in Lu Yiming before were now filled with regret. They also wanted to cut their flesh from the top ten airlines in North America!
In just one month, Lu Yiming once again made money that 99.999% of the people on the planet would never make in their lifetime, and his title of "U.S. Stock Harvester" was completely confirmed.
Although there are still many people on Wall Street who are extremely hostile and hateful towards Lu Yiming, more financial practitioners are full of fanatical admiration for him.
Because this is the purest capitalist country, there is no hereditary nobility, no rich families, and the only way to measure your social status is money.
Many people think that racial discrimination in the beautiful country is very serious. In fact, what is even more serious is the discrimination against the poor! Only poor people can be racially discriminatory, while rich people only discriminate against poor people and will never discriminate against rich people of other races.
Not to mention a philanthropist like Lu Yiming who made a fortune with many people.
Even Richard Fuld, the president of Lehman Brothers, who previously felt that Lu Yiming was bound to suffer a big setback due to his youthful and energetic attitude, was impressed by him and admitted that he had indeed made a mistake at the beginning.
Richard Fuld found Bill Gates in private and expressed in a subtle way that he wanted to get to know Lu Yiming and make friends with each other. That's why Bill Gates made this call to act as an intermediary.
As soon as he heard the words Lehman Brothers, Lu Yiming thought of the subprime mortgage crisis and refused decisively: "I don't have time. It's already September and I have to go back to class. It's the beginning of the school year now. You know, I
I have always been a good student.”
Bill Gates: “…”
God is such a good student.
How long will it take to meet you?
That's Lehman Brothers!
At its peak, Lehman Group had a market capitalization of US$80 billion and managed US$700 billion in assets, making it one of the five largest investment banks in the United States!
The boss wants to see you, and you tell me you want to go to class?
What the hell are you guys who just waved your hand and got billions of dollars into your account?
Although he was complaining a lot in his heart, Bill Gates would not persuade him to say anything. Anyway, his words had already been conveyed, and it didn't matter whether Lu Yiming saw him or not. On the contrary, it was not good for him to talk too much and make Lu Yiming disgusted.
"Okay, that's your own business, so I'll hang up. Goodbye."
"goodbye."
After Bill Gates hung up the phone, other wealthy people in the beautiful country also called to send messages to Lu Yiming, such as Epstein and others, but they were all rejected by him for the same reason.
For a time, the wealthy people in the beautiful country were collectively confused.
If you have money but don’t earn it, go to school. What the hell is this?
If you are sick, don't give up on treatment. Our beautiful country has the best psychiatrists in the world.
Because here is where the largest number of mental patients in the world are concentrated!
After making a few phone calls, Lu Yiming quickly called Li Yiwen over and said, "Pack your things, we will return to China tonight."
"Isn't it? Are you so anxious?"
Li Yiwen still wants to spend a few days in the beautiful country.
Lu Yiming said: "We are running for our lives, can we not be in a hurry?"
The most sensational thing right now is that the building was hit, and other news has been submerged in this world-shaking incident. So you have to run away as early as possible. After all, shorting the airline stocks of the United States during this sensitive period can easily trigger the investigation of the Bureau of Investigation.
It would be funny if someone detained me.
Wouldn't a gentleman stand behind a dangerous wall, take advantage of it, and not leave, but stay and wait to be dealt with?
Li Yiwen, who originally wanted to attend banquets and show off, panicked when he heard this. The two of them boarded a private plane overnight and flew back to China, not daring to stay for a moment longer.
Back at Furi University, Lu Yiming hurriedly went to find Long Qiquan to report.
Walking on campus, people everywhere were talking about this major event that shocked the world.
In just a few days, almost people all over the world knew about it, which shows how big a sensation this incident caused.
Of course, Lu Yiming would not interfere in these discussions. After all, he had already gone to other people's territory and made a huge fortune from the national crisis. It would be a bit too inhumane to continue to speak ill of others behind their backs.
Mid-September is about the hottest time of the year. The scorching heat makes people sweat profusely. The only place to cool down without turning on the air conditioner is probably the bleak and beautiful U.S. stock market.
The current stock market, especially technology stocks related to the Internet, has fallen to cabbage prices due to panic selling.
Others were afraid to avoid it, but Lu Yiming knew that this was a good time to pick up the slack.
With nothing to do during class, Lu Yiming used his computer to browse the news, and then saw that the pig factory had fallen into a salted fish stock on the Nasdaq.
As early as June 29, 2000, Pig Factory was listed on NASDAQ.
Fortunately, this decision brought the pig factory directly into the burst of the Nasdaq bubble. At that time, the Nasdaq index plunged all the way from the highest point of 5048 points in 2000 to the lowest point.
It fell directly to 1114, a drop of 78%, which is comparable to the Niagara Falls, which plummets three thousand feet.
Affected by this, the stock price of Pig Factory also dropped from 15.5 when it was listed, to a low of 0.48, a drop of 97%. Its market value also fell from 470 million US dollars when it was listed to less than 20 million US dollars, becoming a veritable salty company.
Fish stock, and the kind that is so salty that it almost stinks.
However, the reborn Lu Yiming knows very well that this situation will not last long. By 2003, the market value of the pig factory will exceed the US$7 billion mark, an increase of more than 145 times!
This money was picked up for free.
Lu Yiming quickly called Li Yiwen: "Cousin, how much movable funds do you have in your hands now?"
Li Yiwen suddenly received this call from Lu Yiming. He was startled and asked quickly: "What's wrong? Your capital chain is broken? Don't scare me. If your capital chain is broken, we will all be doomed."
Lu Yiming hurriedly said: "What are you thinking? How could my capital chain be broken? I recently found a potential stock on Nasdaq, and I asked you to spend all the money you can and plow it all. I guarantee you won't be able to sell it."
In two years, you will make a lot of money directly."
"Holy crap, what stock is so awesome?"
Li Yiwen was shocked.
In any case, Lu Yiming still has the title of "Stock God" on his head, and he just made a lot of money from the beautiful country.
Now, Lu Yiming actually said that there is a stock that can be directly traded, how could Li Yiwen not be shocked.
What kind of stock is it that allows him, Li Yiwen, to directly play?
This means that even Lu Yiming would be crazy about the future earnings of this stock!!
Lu Yiming said: "Pig Factory, I will tell you the stock code."
Li Yiwen got the stock code and quickly turned on the computer to check it.
As a result, at first glance, Li Yiwen felt that his whole body was not well.
Not only because the market value has dropped so much that it is impossible to see, but also because the relevant information has simply devalued this company into being worthless, and it has been called "the most rubbish handful among junk stocks."
Major rating agencies have also given the lowest ratings.
It can be said that it is a miracle that this stock has not been forcibly delisted from Nasdaq.
Li Yiwen is not even sure which one will come first tomorrow or the pig factory going bankrupt.
After browsing around, Li Yiwen complained to Lu Yiming on the phone: "Brother, did you say the wrong number? It was written in the news that the pig factory was suspected of accounting showoff in the second quarter, and more than half of the income was unknown.
Wherever it went, the stock price, which had been falling rapidly, doubled and continued to fall, once falling to 0.64 US dollars, with a market value of less than 20 million US dollars. Are you sure you want me to buy this stock?"
Lu Yiming said categorically: "Of course, contact their boss Ding Sanshi quickly, I want to buy their shares!"
At this time, Ding Sanshi was still in the capital, looking out the window with a melancholy look on his face.
The weather in the northern country began to get colder, and what was colder than the temperature was his heart.
In the early 1970s, Ding Sanshi was born into a family of senior intellectuals in Mingzhou, Zhejiang Province. Because his father was an electronic engineer, he was influenced by it and loved radios since he was a child.
When he was fifteen years old, Ding Sanshi assembled his first six-tube radio.
Two years later, he graduated from high school and was admitted to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
He is a restless person. One year before graduating from college, he started working part-time as an engineer in a computer company, where he was exposed to new equipment such as Modem and Windows NT.
After graduating from college, Ding Sanshi returned to his hometown and worked at the Mingzhou Telecommunications Bureau.
In 1994, Ding Sanshi logged into the Internet for the first time and started to get in touch with the Internet.
Being restless by nature, he could not stand the oppression and boredom of state-owned enterprises, so he resigned and went south to Guangdong Province to pursue his career.
In May 1997, Ding Sanshi led a team of three people to set up a pig factory in an eight-square-meter rental house, holding more than 50% of the shares and becoming the real boss.
Within three years, he successfully listed his company in the United States and listed it on NASDAQ. Unfortunately, bad luck came and went. Affected by the stock market crash, the stock price of the pig factory fell below the issue price just after it went public.
It has become waste paper.
And Ding Sanshi's troubles didn't stop there. After May 1, 2001, Chen Suzhen was no longer seen by the pig factory employees. On June 12, Li Jinghui resigned, and on August 28,
He Haiwen left.
The three top executives left collectively, as if the building was about to collapse. The company's employees were all worried, and many were ready to disembark and escape at any time.
And this is not too bad. In September, Nasdaq announced that the trading of pig factory stocks was suspended on the grounds of doubtful financial reports - this was the first time that a Chinese company was suspended from trading in the U.S. stock market. The U.S. Internet bubble put the pig factory's stock at risk
The stock price collapsed, falling from fifteen dollars to sixty-four cents, not even a fraction of it.
At this time, Ding Sanshi was filled with hatred, because the person who made the false accounts was none other than Li Jinghui, who had resigned. He not only made false accounts, but also secretly transferred funds belonging to the pig factory to his old French employer, Saatchi & Saatchi.
Now, even Ding Sanshi, the founder, feels that the pig factory is hopeless.
