After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 121 Shorting Tesla

The next day, Lu Liang came to the company looking haggard, rubbing his waist and yawning from time to time.

The trading room was empty because he gave six traders half a day off yesterday, asking them to go back home to rest during the day, pack the clothes they needed, and come back at five in the afternoon.

Whether it is Beijing time or New York time, 24 hours have passed, but Tesla has not yet announced the sales volume of Edamame X.

The sales volume should be considerable. It is obviously a good thing, but it is treated as a secret as the death of an emperor.

This also shows that Lu Liang’s judgment is correct, so he has to start taking action.

Time passed by minute by minute, and in a blink of an eye, the six traders returned to their posts, ready to face tonight's battle.

At 9:30 p.m., U.S. stocks opened.

China's new policy vigorously promotes the new energy industry. Shanghai has approved 200,000 square meters for Tesla to build a super factory. The sales of Edamame X are gratifying, and various favorable factors are added.

Tesla's opening price surged 12%, surging by $21.84. Its stock price instantly broke through 200 yuan to reach $203.84.

The advantage of not setting a limit on price fluctuations is that the price can be released instantly as long as there is good news, unlike the A-share market which rises by ten points a day.

Lu Liang pondered for a moment, then ordered: "Start selling 1000-5000 shares in a single batch to push down the stock price."

His margin account has 5000 million US dollars, and with four times leverage, the acceptable increase is only 18.5 points.

With US$1.98 million in funds, the acceptable loss is US$3500 million. If the loss rate exceeds 70%, the liquidation line will be reached.

Even if he does not make any move, as long as the stock price exceeds 215 yuan, his account will be frozen due to insufficient margin.

There is only $12.16 left to spare.
But the higher the risk, the greater the return.

Assume they can sell all 203.84 million shares at $109.8 and cash out $2.23 million.

When the stock price drops to $100, they only need to spend $1.09 million to repurchase 109.8 million shares. The difference of $1.14 million is their profit.

Tesla's market value reached $12 billion after a 190.4% increase.

Lu Liang holds more than 1% of the chips. If the major shareholder does not intervene, he will be the biggest dealer of Tesla.

As they started to sell their stocks and cash in their chips, the stock price was pushed down bit by bit.

The upward trend was stopped almost instantly, a sharp corner appeared at the end of the thin line, and the K-line began to fall from then on.

This move immediately caused an uproar in the market.

After all, in the face of so many good news, short selling against the trend is simply a crime that goes against the will of the world.

It also attracted the attention of Wall Street institutions. Tesla's growth was too fast, and they did not have time to enter the market, so they could only watch.

Suddenly someone shorted against the trend with a very determined attitude, and this behavior interested them very much.

It also gave them an idea.
Why does this unknown force want to short sell?

Is there some huge negative news that has not yet been exposed?

They cannot get the benefits of good news, but perhaps they can get the benefits of bad news.

Wall Street institutions, like puppies that smell sausage, follow the trail all the way, eager to find out the reason.

"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. The 18th is too long. Those who delay will cause changes. I can't wait any longer."

Lu Liang muttered to himself that the funds he held were already capable of influencing the market trend, and he should move more boldly.

Because of the new energy index, the predicted highest peak was 2985 points, but the final peak was only 2915 points.

In a market worth 1.5 trillion, he only made 5.3 million, which is less than 0.01%. The change was so huge.

What's more, after Tesla's short selling financing, Lu Liang holds more than 1% of the chips, and the impact on the market will only be more far-reaching.

As long as he makes money, the future will change,

The more you earn, the more deviations you will have.

Lu Liang simply decided to be bolder. After all, it was US stocks, so he didn't have to worry about being invited for tea.

So this time, he plans to go in and out quickly, and he will lead the charge, not giving Tesla any time to react.

The trading hours for U.S. stocks are from 6.5: a.m. to : p.m., a total of hours per day, with no breaks in between.

Wall Street institutions were still investigating the reasons for the short selling, and Lu Liang was the only short selling team fighting alone in the market. For six and a half hours, everyone including Lu Liang worked at high intensity and sold a total of 42 shares.

The shares were sold at an average price of $201.5 per share, cashing in a total of $8463 million.

"Yutao, Zhang Jing, take them back to rest. Tell Xiaowen if you need anything."

Lu Liang rubbed his brows and called over the two team leaders. This transaction was very important. Before it was completed, no one could leave the company or touch the communication equipment.

Before the end, everyone ate, drank, defecated and urinated in the trading room. Fortunately, we had taken this situation into consideration and set up a living area.

Lu Liang returned to the office next door, took a short rest for a few hours, and then met with Meng Changkun, asking him not to reveal his identity, contact domestic and foreign media, and spread the news.

"There are three main reasons. Why hasn't First Edamame X announced its sales volume yet?"

“Are you sure that the delivery can be successful after the second 16 weeks?”

"The delivery of the third Roadster sports car is a great achievement."

They only held a total of 109.8 million shares, and 42 shares were consumed on the first day, leaving only 67.8 shares.

If no reinforcements arrive later, Luliang may not be able to survive until the end of the Golden Week with its current chips.

Once he loses control of the market, he will have no control over the subsequent market direction.

It may fall to $96 as predicted, but it may soar to more than $215 in the meantime, causing him to go bankrupt.

Because as long as Wall Street institutions understand Lu Liang's intentions, they will probably work together tacitly to defeat him first.

The more Lu Liang earns, the less they earn.

Moreover, they are the only ones who go around the world to harvest leeks on weekdays, and they cannot tolerate the theft in their hometown.

So Lu Liang planned to force the emperor to abdicate and build momentum.

Forcing Musk to come out and respond and give consumers a clear explanation, even if he does not respond, can plant a seed of doubt in the hearts of market investors.

Because through last night's transactions, Lu Liang discovered that those who bought were all small retail investors who just rushed in without thinking.

Although they are a group of motley crowd, retail investors always have the most funds in the market, and whoever they help will win.

Lu Liang does not expect retail investors to fight for him, but as long as they do nothing, or even just wait and see, his chances of winning will be great.

Meng Changkun understood and hurried to contact his friends. After all, he was engaged in the foreign trade industry and had many friends abroad.

Through layers of commissions, we finally contacted several French automotive media and British Internet celebrities and raised three questions.

If the news spreads in the country first, it would be too obvious. It would be best to switch from exports to domestic sales.

Another thing is that domestic fans are too servile and are particularly adaptive, and they are good at finding excuses for their masters.

There is a song that goes, those who are favored are always fearless. Various events in the past have also proved that Chinese consumers can be ignored or treated differently.

But it's not the same in foreign countries. There are a lot of lawyers. Once they smell profits, they will be like a swarm of flies, not only dirty but also clinging.

As the news began to ferment, Wall Street institutions also understood why some people shorted Tesla against the trend yesterday.

Tesla also lost $1.8 million last quarter, and a $4.65 million loan from the Department of Energy is due to expire at the end of the year.

Why Tesla dare not announce the sales volume of Edamame X? Now, everything is revealed.

For one car, the minimum advance payment is $100,000. If there are 10,000 cars, it will cost $1 billion.

Does Tesla have a billion dollars?
Even if there is, does the California factory have such production capacity?

Can you guarantee delivery in 16 weeks?
Will the Roadster's past happen again?

Several pieces of news fermented overseas overnight, but neither Musk nor Tesla came out to respond positively.

But Lu Liang's pressure has been reduced a lot. They only sold 10 shares tonight and pushed the stock price down to US$200.

This means that those who originally went long are no longer willing to go long.

Lu Liang did not pursue the victory, because it was not the final charge yet, he did not dare to sell all his chips, he had to at least keep some to deal with various emergencies.

Musk will certainly take countermeasures.
