We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?
Chapter 489: Profits from the Stock Market Crash
"Fatty, what's wrong with you? You haven't been back for a month, and now you want to buy a house?
Do you know the price? Even if we can afford it, why don't we just do it?"
"Pah." Cheng Wei, who was exhausted, leaned on the sofa without saying a word. He took out an envelope from his bag and slapped it on the table.
Liu Bin glanced at him, picked up the envelope curiously and took out the contents.
"You, you, you, where did you get so much money, the bonus for this small black room? What did you do?"
Liu Bin was so frightened that he became incoherent, because inside the envelope was a check for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Small dark room, stock market crash, Liu Bin could imagine what Cheng Wei was doing.
However, Cheng Wei is neither a trader nor a person in charge. He should be the lowest-level person in this closed transaction.
But even such a grassroots level received 30 Hong Kong dollars. Liu Bin didn't dare to think about how much profit they had made this time.
As for Cheng Wei, his eyes were filled with numbness. He didn't want to answer, and couldn't answer, Liu Bin's probing questions.
Not to mention the signed confidentiality agreement, even if there is no confidentiality agreement, this is still a question of professional ethics.
Is 30 Hong Kong dollars a lot? It is a lot for them, but it is definitely the least in that small dark room.
Because they are not traders, their task is to assist traders in collecting data and then building models in large quantities, and then improve Far Eastern Bank's major trading systems based on the problems discovered in this stock market crash.
He didn't know about others, but he knew how lucrative their income was from what he heard that a trader was planning to buy a villa in Dayant Manor.
Lantau Manor is a residential project in the second phase of tourism development on Lantau Island. It is located in the north-central part of Lantau Island, opposite Chek Lap Kok.
Standing on the balcony of Lantau Manor, it is said that you can clearly see some animals in Chek Lap Kok Wildlife with a telescope.
Lantau Manor is a villa area. As far as he knows, the cheapest one starts at tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. It is another top wealthy area in Hong Kong Island.
Even if you want to buy it with a loan, you can’t even think about it if you don’t have three to five million yuan.
Liu Bin also knew that he would not be able to get an answer from Cheng Wei. At this moment, he was still excited about the check for 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Among us, you won't be the first one to realize the dream of becoming a millionaire, right? This immediately distanced you from us.
You were so handsome just now, even I was shocked by you."
Today is Saturday, and the landlord came to give Liu Bin a deadline.
Originally, the landlord didn't think much of Liu Bin delaying according to Cheng Wei's suggestion, but after the stock market crash, the landlord no longer thought so.
Although the house price of North Point City Garden fell by less than 15% during the stock market crash, which was far lower than the average drop of 26% in Hong Kong Island, it still caused the landlord to lose more than Hong Kong dollars.
Although the stock market crash has basically stabilized, what if something happens again? So it is better to act quickly. Today is the ultimatum.
But at this moment Cheng Wei came back and when he saw the landlord he said directly, "I bought the house and will transfer the ownership tomorrow."
Seeing Cheng Wei walk straight into the house, not to mention the landlord, even Liu Bin was dumbfounded.
The current housing price in North Point City Garden is around HK$1400 per square foot. Their 960-square-foot house plus various taxes is about HK$150 million.
Originally, Liu Bin wanted to use the money they invested to get a loan of around HK$50 to buy the house, but he didn't expect Cheng Wei to do it on his own.
"Hey, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Bin, who was still in extreme excitement, saw that Cheng Wei didn't reply, so he looked over and saw that the other party was looking up at the ceiling with lifeless eyes.
"I said, you are not stupid because of Fan Jin's success in the imperial examination, right? If not, I will slap you twice."
It's not that he's stupid. Cheng Wei was just shocked by the huge numbers in the small dark room.
After so many years in Hong Kong Island, how could he not know what the Luo family’s status in Hong Kong Island is and what it represents?
But this time he changed again, not more understanding but more afraid.
What he thought he knew well has now turned into a bottomless abyss, making it even more difficult to see the world inside.
At the same time, he once again felt the charm of finance. It is truly a world that makes people's blood boil.
No matter what kind of existence the Luo family is, it has nothing to do with him. The path he will take in the future has become much clearer. After figuring this out, Cheng Wei sat up.
"It's nothing. I just thought that I haven't seen my old friends for a long time. Should I ask them to come out for a gathering, just to celebrate the new house?"
"I think you are not celebrating but showing off." Liu Bin immediately saw through the other party's little thoughts.
We should celebrate. Du Huilian has asked the secretariat to prepare two plans in total.
One plan is a 20-day tour of the five Nordic countries, and there is no limit on the number of family members.
Christmas is coming soon, and this plan is for those who have families.
The second one is a 20-day luxury cruise on an island country, which is prepared for bachelors and includes all kinds of prohibited things.
This luxury cruise ship does not sail directly to the island country, but will stay on the high seas for a week.
Bauhinia Garden District, Luo Nianzhong’s office.
Du Huilian came to report on his work, not about any celebration plan but about the gains from this stock market crash.
"US$248.6 billion, that's okay."
If outsiders heard this number, they would be shocked, but for Luo Nianzhong and Du Huilian, it was just mediocre.
If we knew about the stock market crash in advance, with thousands of accounts around the world, the average profit for each account would only be a few million dollars.
You have to know that this stock market crash caused a global loss of 1.5 trillion US dollars. As the party with the highest profit in the market, this profit can only be considered average.
It’s not that we don’t want to earn more, but we dare not. In terms of staffing, so many accounts are already the limit of operations.
Adding more manpower means more uncertainty, and no one can predict what will happen.
"What about Wall Street?"
Wall Street's darkest day? Here's what Wall Street wants you to know.
Dark? Dark.
However, it is the stock exchanges and shareholders who are in the dark, not the major financial giants on Wall Street.
The stock market in the United States collapsed, and the East became their hunting ocean because of the time difference.
Not to mention other things, on the battlefield in Hong Kong Island, Morgan Stanley alone has earned more than 1700 million Hong Kong dollars in this month. This is still the case on the surface, and it is not certain what is going on in the secret accounts.
How many stock markets open later than the United States? How much money do these Wall Street giants make in each country?
“It’s impossible to estimate, just like us, but the profits announced by these large institutions are no less than 300 million US dollars each.
Goldman Sachs is even worse, with its publicly announced profits being no worse than ours, exceeding one billion US dollars.
Goldman Sachs is definitely present in the financial markets of New Zealand and Australia. It is impossible for us to suffer such a huge drop just by ourselves. I think it is not impossible for Goldman Sachs to make a profit of tens of billions."
Yes, these two markets were the most affected in this stock market crash. The New Zealand stock market plummeted by nearly 70%. It would have been impossible without heavy short selling by foreign capital.
"What should I do with the money?"
This is the main purpose of Du Huilian's visit today, to see if Luo Nianzhong has any plans for the money.
"You can make some investments, but not long-term ones. It will only take three or four years, maybe, and I will need a large amount of money by then."
When Du Huilian heard the instructions, his eyes flashed with excitement. It seemed that something big was going to happen again.
If only 10 or 20 billion US dollars of funds are needed, it will not be difficult to raise them with the current strength of the Far East Finance Department.
Since this amount of money is going to be used, it means that this big move will be at least worth 30 to 50 billion US dollars, and even 100 billion US dollars is very likely.
This is a huge move worth hundreds of billions of dollars. It is not just as simple as hundreds of billions of dollars. The funds that can be leveraged are huge, enough to subvert an industry.
