The richest man starts with a blind box

Chapter 792 The God Who Knows Human Nature Best

December 2004, 12 was the darkest day in the hearts of many Wall Street elites, because during this day, almost three-quarters of their wealth disappeared instantly.

At the opening of the morning, the two major mobile phone stocks in the market, Motorola's share price was US$189.2 per share, and Nokia's share price was US$98.32 per share.

By the end of the day, Motorola's stock price was only $61.33, and Nokia's stock price was only $41.72. Both stocks almost fell by about 65% of their market value in one breath. Historically, those are top-notch statistics.

Well, this kind of situation will never happen in A shares, because A shares will directly give you a limit down.

With such a drop, the entire stock market was taken aback.

And because of the sharp drop of these two stocks, it caused a chain reaction that caused related stocks in the entire electronics industry to fall a lot, almost triggering a financial crisis in advance.

Ordinary stockholders are all paralyzed. They don't know what happened. Obviously, there is no problem with the performance, and the quarterly report has increased slightly. At the same time, these companies have not had any major scandals during this period of time. How can this be? Did it suddenly plummet in one day?Staring at my underwear is almost gone?
These stockholders only saw that on the morning of the 100th, there was a sell order of more than 200 billion, and then more than [-] billion, and then it couldn't stop, and stocks worth hundreds of millions of dollars were sold almost every minute. , It seems that those who hold stocks have discovered some great horror. These stocks are like hot potatoes, and they can't wait to throw them all away.

This made many retail investors who didn't know what was going on broke, and panic spread in everyone's hearts, so that even the investors who didn't buy these stocks panicked, thinking that there might be some bad news that they didn't know about. , The entire stock market was facing a collapse, and then he threw out the stocks in his hands.

Ever since, two stocks appeared, dragging the entire market down by about 1%, which stunned everyone in the future.

In fact, at the lowest point, Motorola's stock price fell below $50, and then it ushered in a bottoming out. A large amount of money entered the market and began to sweep the market, holding the stock price above $50.

It wasn't until the stock market closed that day that the entire mobile phone stock stabilized slightly.It's just that until this time, all the retail investors were still confused and didn't know what happened. Only the elites of those institutions looked at the market in front of them with wry smiles, and sighed that they still didn't run away after all.

At 12:4 on the evening of December 18th, a news came from Wall Street that the representative of the Western Mustang Fund had officially delivered the short order, and all the stocks borrowed for 32 billion US dollars had been paid off.

The Wall Street elites who heard the news could only smile wryly.In fact, they had foreseen this news a long time ago, and even vaguely guessed that the manipulator behind it was none other than Little Swift himself.

Some smart elites have even outlined the context of the whole matter, after finding that their empty orders could not be delivered on schedule, and at the same time they could not obtain an extension.

After Little Swift learned that a large number of people entered the market and tried to suck blood from the Western Broncos Fund through their own backing, he devised this vicious scheme.

While making various false gestures, it gives others a state of being in a hurry to get an extension, and lures more people into investing.

On the other hand, they secretly borrowed a sum of funds and quietly bought a batch of stocks at a slightly lower price. When it entered December, they used the restlessness of the elites to release all kinds of fake news. In the end, he directly used a large number of stocks to smash the market, and everything was destroyed in an instant.

"This is the smartest, most vicious, and most exploitable battle in the history of Wall Street!" A few years later, someone described this time in a book called "Ten Battles on Wall Street" battle.

According to the author, people in the whole circle at that time were terrified of Swift's use of human weaknesses, especially the weaknesses of financial people.

It was the smartest Wall Street elites who understood that little Swift did the stupidest thing in the world because of greed, and designed this trick.

In fact, this strategy is not difficult to crack. As long as the elites do not throw away the stocks in their hands and keep the stock price at a high level, after a dozen or 20 days, Swift Jr. and the Western Bronco Fund will be finished. It simply cannot afford to lose $[-] million a day.

But this is also the most unbreakable strategy, because the smart Wall Street elites will never take the risk of having nothing to hard steel, because they understand that the most untrustworthy people in the world are their peers.

Cough cough, it’s a bit far away. Even if these belated elites understand everything, it’s too late. They can only see the Western Broncos Fund, and finally bought the owed funds with only 198 billion U.S. dollars. All the stocks were then returned to the institution, completing this empty order transaction.

In the end, the $400 billion empty order paid a total of $20 billion in transaction fees, and there was also a late payment fee of $16 billion. If the repurchase cost of $198 billion is included, the Western Broncos Fund made a profit in about one breath. With a net profit of about US$160 billion, Swift once again made a lot of money.

At the same time, this time, no one dared to question Swift Jr.'s title as the God of Black Finance.

If all the previous trading results can be summed up as luck, then this time's operation on empty orders has fully proved the terrifying ability of Te Xiao Swift.

A situation that was fatal to almost everyone, as a result, Swift Jr. abruptly overthrew everyone with his own operations, and then sucked 160 billion blood from Wall Street.

Wall Street lost even more. According to later statistics, Wall Street lost at least 700 billion US dollars this time, and four or five people jumped off the building because of this failure.

With such a strong fighting ability, everyone is convinced of little Swift.The simplest example is the Finance Department of the University of Pennsylvania, which directly invited Swift Jr. to give a speech at their school, and even invited Swift Jr. to be their honorary professor.

You must know that this is a great honor. In the eyes of many Chinese people, the University of Pennsylvania is not a very famous school. Compared with Harvard University, Princeton University and other famous American universities that Chinese people are familiar with, There is really no reputation at all.

But the University of Pennsylvania has the best finance department in the world, and more than 30% of the elites on Wall Street have graduated from this kind of university. Those who can speak in this university are naturally recognized by the industry. .

Since the founding of this university, the Department of Finance has never invited any black people to the school to give lectures of a teaching nature, let alone invite them to become honorary professors of the Department of Finance. Little Swift is undoubtedly the first to receive this honor people.

The invitation made little Swift tremble with excitement, and he couldn't sleep for three consecutive days, but finally declined the invitation. The reason was very simple, and little Swift knew exactly what material he was.

I usually attend some ordinary speeches, hiding in the company and pretending to be an expert is no problem, but once I go to a place like the University of Pennsylvania, I am afraid that my underwear will be pierced in a few minutes, and people will find out their own reality.

Of course, it’s not a big deal even if you find out, anyway, little Swift is a pheasant genius on the surface, without any relevant financial qualifications, nor any relevant education, and he is completely a genius who operates with a keen sense of smell talent.

Of course, because of this, Little Swift's abilities and achievements became more terrifying.

On the other hand, when the University of Pennsylvania received the rejection from Swift Jr., it was not very unhappy, because Swift Jr. used a handwritten letter full of various misspellings to explain that he could not accept the invitation The reason is that I am too good at it, and I don't know what to talk about.

Then little Swift voluntarily applied in the letter to be able to enter the University of Pennsylvania, and the Finance Department to conduct systematic studies to make up for his shortcomings in professional knowledge.

The University of Pennsylvania was naturally very satisfied with this request, and it was able to take Little Swift, who had turned the entire Wall Street upside down, into his pocket and become his student.

And it was someone who took the initiative to apply to be his student, which is obviously a very face-saving thing, so little Swift directly became a student of the University of Pennsylvania, which also formed a good story in the industry.

Not to mention the development of Little Swift, Motorola and Nokia, the battlefields of this war, fell into a dead silence.

So on the face of it, it is Wall Street that has lost the most money, but in fact, the boards of directors of Motorola and Nokia are the ones who have almost lost their underpants.

The directors of these boards of directors were still drinking champagne leisurely one day ago, enjoying a wonderful vacation with their lovers on the beach, and then watching their personal wealth continue to increase in value without doing anything, every hour Add hundreds or even tens of millions of dollars to your net worth.

As a result, in just one day, two-thirds of their wealth instantly shrank, and many people even became billionaires directly. It is no wonder that these directors can bear such a drastic change.

There was a fire in every director's heart, so poor Edward Zamp was called in straight away to be scolded, and then asked to come up with a solution to the problem.

Zamp seemed to have been prepared for a long time. After a moment of silence, he said, "I suggest that we can cooperate with Apple!"
