Chapter 634 Black Storm (seeking monthly pass)

   On October 19, 1987, the weather was fine, and the tranquil sky of Hong Kong Island presented a refreshing blue.

  The mood of all shareholders is as bright as the weather.

  They were talking and laughing as usual, waiting for the stock market to open at ten o'clock.

  People didn't realize that a black storm would come suddenly, pulling the wealth in their hands and even themselves into the vortex of the storm mercilessly.

  In the office of Longteng Company, Chen Dongfang and others were waiting anxiously.

  Except for Xiao Wu who was in Lilan, and Zhang Long and others who stayed in Eastern Europe, the rest of the company's backbone were all present.

   "No, I'll go out to get some air first." Ma Laosan stood up abruptly, he really couldn't bear this oppressive atmosphere.

   "Sit down, we must have confidence." Yu Guangming is actually sitting on pins and needles, and the only thing that supports him sitting here is his confidence.

   That's confidence in the people at the helm of the company.

  At the same time, Boss Huo was also pacing in his living room, looking at the telephone beside him from time to time, his expression was also dignified.

   Pan Mingba enjoys it more. At this moment, it is still the warm spring night under the hibiscus tent.

  However, the ear-piercing sound of the alarm clock made him jump out of bed: "The market is open, the market is open!"

   "It's open, it's open!" Young Master Li also looked at his watch, unable to hide the excitement on his face.

  At this moment, beside him, there are also four or five young people. They are all famous and wealthy sons of this generation, and they belong to the same interest group.

   "Brother Ju, would you like to open a bottle of red wine to celebrate?" Someone jokingly asked.

  Li Da Shaoqiang suppressed the excitement in his heart: "Let's wait until the news of the victory comes, and then we..."

   At this time, the phone rang, and Young Master Li quickly picked up the phone and listened carefully.

  Several people around also gathered around, and then they saw the microphone in Young Master Li's hand clang and fell on the table.

   It took a long time for Young Master Li to utter two words with difficulty: "I fell."

  As soon as the market opened, the selling wave was like a flood, unstoppable. In just fifteen minutes, the Hang Seng Index fell by 120 points.

   And this trend, it seems that it can't stop at all.

   Now Young Master Li only felt the rumbling sound in his head, and he subconsciously raised his head to look at the sky outside.

  The sky was still clear, but in his eyes, it seemed that black clouds were overwhelming the city. If he hadn't leaned on the table with his hands, he would have been crushed to the ground.

  How could this happen, is it going to lose again?

   Young Master Li couldn't figure it out, so he grabbed the phone and dialed:

   "Daddy, we want to save the market, we will use all the funds to save the market, we will be able to stabilize the stock price, we will be able to!"

  The voice of Li Fuhao came from the other end of the phone: "Ah Ju, do you know that the daily trading volume of the stock market is usually several billion."

   "And a sell-off wave like today's is probably tens of billions, and no one has the ability to eat it."

  Even if Li Fuhao has the nickname of Superman, he can only follow the trend in this turbulent trend, and cannot go against the sky.

  He can invest a large amount of money in the stock market, but not now, but wait until the stock market stabilizes before entering the market to buy bottoms.

  I believe that by that time, he can easily earn back the hundreds of millions lost in his son's hands, or even earn back several times or ten times.

  But Young Master Li didn't think so now, he put down the phone in a daze, and collapsed on the sofa.

  The loss of money cannot hurt the foundation of the Li family;

  But the psychological blow made him feel miserable—lost, once again at the hands of that Liu Qingshan.

  Failure was like steel needles, mercilessly piercing Young Master Li's heart. Zhou Gongjin from the Three Kingdoms flashed in his mind, and he looked up to the sky and shouted unwillingly: "Since Shengyu, He Shengliang...

  At this moment, the office of Longteng Company was full of jubilation.

  After receiving the call that the stock had plummeted, everyone jumped up, hugged each other, and beat each other's shoulders and chests with their fists. The whole office was full of ghosts and wolves.

   "Now you can drink a glass of red wine to celebrate." Boss Huo also snapped his fingers and asked someone to bring the chilled red wine.

   "Oh, it seems that I can go back and sleep peacefully." Pan Mingpai thought of the beauty on the bed, and his heart was burning.

   On the other side of the ocean, Liu Qingshan was sleeping soundly in the apartment.

  Because of the geographical location, on the 19th, the stock market on Hong Kong Island opened first, and then fell all the way.

  By the close of trading in the afternoon, a total of 420 points had fallen, a drop of more than 11%.

  Almost at the same period, the stock market of the island country, the Nikkei index fell 620 points, and the next day, it plummeted 3,800 points.

   After the market closed on the 19th, all eyes were on the United States.

  The Dow Jones Index is the real weather vane, as long as it can be stabilized, then there is still hope for everything.

  Liu Qingshan, as usual, got up early in the morning, ran, stood up, and practiced boxing, everything was in order.

  No one can see that he has gambled 80 million dollars in the stock market, betting almost all of his fortune.

   When he returned home for breakfast, Grace cast her gaze at him frequently, hesitated to speak.

   Grace was a little puzzled: You still have the mind to eat?

  Liu Qingshan not only thought about eating, but also packed up the utensils after eating, and went directly to school. Today is Monday, so of course he has to go to class.

  When Liu Qingshan sat in class and listened to the lecture, the stock market finally opened.

  Then, the stock index collapsed like a cliff. In the market, there were all selling orders and no buying orders at all.

   It seems that everyone is madly selling their stocks.

   In the face of such a huge amount of data, the computer finally couldn't bear it, and the displayed data began to be delayed, and the time was getting longer and longer.

  Faced with such a storm-like slump, the vast majority of stockholders were caught off guard. They could only pray to God that there would be no major stock market crash, because in that case, even if you were a millionaire, you might become pauper in an instant.

  The entire U.S. stock market is in panic and despair. I don’t know how many stockholders are screaming up to the sky: woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...

   With the big sales of the first albums of Maria and the Hurricane Girls, the dolphin sound became popular all over the United States.

  At this moment, perhaps only this voice can best represent the aspirations of shareholders.

   "Oh my God!" Soros' office also let out an exclamation, such a situation really happened!

   "Hurry up, sell all the S&P 500 futures contracts!" Soros has 5,000 such contracts in his hands, worth more than one billion.

  Soros made a decisive decision and chose to retreat in an all-round way, but these futures contracts of his could only be sold at a low price, which also caused him heavy losses.

  Quantum Fund, whose net assets plummeted by 26 percent, became the biggest loser in the stock market crash.

  However, Soros is the king of shorting after all. Not long after, he seized the opportunity to short and made a lot of money.

  Finally, in 1987, Soros' Quantum Fund achieved a final profit of 14%.

   I have to admit that a good man is still a good man.

   "Oh, buy it!" In Rogers' office, cheers erupted. He has also been shorting U.S. stocks recently. This time, I am afraid that he will make a fortune.

   It was just that he felt that he was a little conservative, so he bought the Dow Jones Index to drop by 150 points.

  After a short period of joy, a young man appeared in Rogers' mind.

  That young man, who had raised a large amount of funds before, must have also rushed to short US stocks.

   It’s just how brave this young man is, how much will he short, and how much will he earn?

  Rodgers didn’t know that Liu Qingshan shorted a full 500 points. At that time, Qian Yuzhen was so scared that he almost fainted.

  Five hundred points, according to this ratio, the US stock market will directly lose 500 billion in market value.

   After Liu Qingshan attended two classes, the news of the stock market crash finally reached the school, and Liu Qingshan was quickly called to the office by Professor Peter.

  Professor Peter’s expression has never been as serious as it is now. He is well aware that such a major stock market crash will have a huge impact on the entire economy.

   What shocked him even more was that his student had foreseen it a few days ago, and even the timing was accurate.

  If he can pay attention to it earlier and take precautions, it may reduce a lot of losses.

  But it is too late to say these things now, he found Liu Qingshan at this time, and only wanted to ask this student to help.

   "Liu, just now my old friend Buffett called me for help. Since you can predict this stock market crash, you think you have a countermeasure."

  Professor Peter got straight to the point. Just an hour ago, Buffett's wealth evaporated by 342 million in an instant.

  Although the stock **** still remained calm, he did not panic, nor did he sell any stocks following the trend.

   But this huge loss also caused him pain, so he could only ask his old friend Professor Peter for help.

   Liu Qingshan looked at Professor Peter quietly: "Professor, there is no winner in the stock market crash. Even if I help Mr. Buffett, others will also suffer losses."

  Professor Peter nodded: "I agree with you, but Warren is my best friend."

   "Okay then." Liu Qingshan shrugged, put on a helpless look, then looked at the phone next to him, and gestured.

   There is really a way!

  Professor Peter was also secretly surprised. When such a stock market crash happened, everyone was panicking. It was not easy to keep calm.

  He couldn't think of any other way to save himself.

  The phone was connected quickly, and Professor Peter said, "Warren, my student Liu is right next to him, and he will talk to you next."

  Liu Qingshan took the microphone, did not make a sound, just listened quietly.

   About a minute later, Buffett's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Mr. Mountain, you won this time."

  Liu Qingshan began to talk on the phone: The sharp drop in the stock market also brought a risk-free arbitrage opportunity.

  The current situation is that the S&P 500 index has fallen by 20%, while its futures have fallen by 28%, and there is a big gap between the two.

   This will never happen in the stock market during normal times.

   If someone were to immediately go long index futures and short S&P 500 stocks at the same time, they could make a huge profit.

   They are all experts. After listening to Liu Qingshan's succinct narration, Professor Peter beside him couldn't help but punch his fist: This is simply a genius idea.

   And Buffett on the other end of the phone also quickly responded: "Mr. Mountain, thank you, I will call you again."

   After speaking, Buffett hastily put down the phone and began to gather the funds on hand to operate.

  If he was from the perspective of a bystander, maybe he could also see this method, but in today's panic situation, Buffett knew that he would definitely not think of it.

  After Liu Qingshan put down the phone, Professor Peter greeted him with eager eyes: "Liu, why don't you do this yourself, I can give you a vacation now."

  Liu Qingshan could only spread his hands: "Professor, I have no money."

  Professor Peter froze for a moment, then shook his head: "You must earn more. I really don't know whether to congratulate my students or mourn for my compatriots."

   After finishing speaking, Professor Peter picked up Liu Qingshan's thesis from his desk: "Let's take this as your graduation thesis. It may not be the best graduation thesis, but it must be the most expensive one."

  Graduation thesis?

  Liu Qingshan was also taken aback for a moment: "Professor, I have only been here for more than a month."

  Professor Peter raised his palm and patted Liu Qingshan's shoulder lightly: "I think that undergraduate study is no longer necessary for you. Be my doctoral student."

   "Maybe I can't teach you too much now, but I can still give you some guidance."

  Liu Qingshan's mind is a bit confused, his plan is to complete three years of studies here.

  But what he never expected was that Professor Peter approved his graduation.

  He doesn't know whether UCLA has such a system, but looking at Professor Peter's appearance, it doesn't seem like a joke.

   "Professor, I need to think about it. My plan is to return to China after finishing my studies." Liu Qingshan also answered solemnly.

  Professor Peter shook his head lightly: "Liu, here you can truly display your talents. As far as I know, your country doesn't even have a stock market."

   "We have an old saying in China, 'Liangyuan is good, but it is not the land of long-term love'. Professor, I will give you an answer after I think about it."

  Liu Qingshan bowed, then turned and left the office.

What's the meaning? Professor Peter studies economics, so he didn't understand what Liu Qingshan meant.

  However, he could still feel from the other party's emotions that this student might pass him by.

   After school in the evening, Liu Qingshan returned to the apartment, only to see his second sister answering the phone, and beside him was an excited Grace.

  Seeing Liu Qingshan, Grace immediately rushed forward and hugged fiercely: "Welcome our billionaire, no, it should be said to be a billionaire!"

   "I think we should celebrate, how about having chicken wings with Coca-Cola at night?"

  Liu Qingshan quickly broke free from her majestic embrace, and then took the phone from the second sister.

  On the other end of the phone, Qian Yuzhen's voice came: "Qingshan, we just made nearly one billion US dollars, plus the principal, your assets have exceeded one billion!"
