After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 379 Questioning the Fourth Rate Hike

"Wandering Earth?"

“Is there any soil for science fiction films to survive in China?”

After seeing Wu Jing off, Lu Liang picked up the film project plan he recommended. The strength of domestic industrial films is actually quite good, and they can make good science fiction films if they want.

But after filming so much, it all ended up being about love, not to mention that Guo Fan’s first two films were both romance films.

Lu Liang was very skeptical about this and had no intention of investing. He told Wu Jing that he would think about it, but it was just talk.

I just didn't expect that the slap in the face would come so quickly.

It was almost dawn and Lu Liang was still in the company, paying attention to the developments of the Federal Reserve and foreign exchange markets of various countries.

They mobilized 400 billion U.S. dollars, divided their forces into four groups, and quietly sneaked into the foreign exchange markets of the four countries, waiting for the market to start, and the exchange rates of all countries except the U.S. dollar would plummet.

Take the opportunity to sell and close positions, then enter the US stock market.

After all, as long as the US dollar hegemony exists, the logic of the rise of US stocks will not change, and it will become a short-term shelter for a large amount of funds.

When Lu Liang had no plan, their funds remained in the U.S. stock market and were only withdrawn when needed.

As the early morning bell rang, Lu Liang showed a hint of surprise on his face: "Is there really soil for science fiction movies?"

When "The Wandering Earth" was released, it had a box office of 46.87 billion yuan, and it seemed that domestic science fiction films were about to stand up.

The success of Wolf Warrior 2 has caused the number of military-themed patriotic films launched in the past two months to surge to three digits, with a large number of film and television companies following suit.

Although there will be a lot of bad movies, there will definitely be a few good movies that will benefit from this wave of dividends, and the same goes for science fiction movies.

The future success of "The Wandering Earth" will inevitably lead to a blowout of domestic science fiction films.

"The total production cost is estimated at 3.5 million yuan, and there is still a funding gap of 1.5 million yuan."

Lu Liang picked up the project plan again and saw the investor column. China Film invested 1.1 million yuan and was obviously moved by this proposition.

"The community of shared future for mankind is indeed good. It has the same purpose as the main theme of the Belt and Road Initiative, but it is different from Noah's Ark in that it allows the rich and powerful to run first."

Lu Liang was speechless, and a little amused by himself.

If the result is unknown, no deduction will be reliable, but if the result is known, even a pile of shit can be analyzed to have dense advantages.

He called Xu Jiawei and instructed, "On the evening of the 1st, there will be a banquet for Wu Jing at Shangri-La Hotel. Add it to the schedule."

Lu Liang was not in a hurry to give Wu Jing a reply. The film and television project still had a funding gap of 1.5 million yuan, and no one in the country could come up with the money except him.

The rich are not interested, and the poor are useless even if they are interested. Investing 10 or 20 million yuan will not quench their thirst, but he has the financial resources to arrive in one go.

Don't rely on two masters for the same thing, and the same applies to investments.

Three or five investors are always better than seven or eight investors, and there will be much less trouble.

As the night deepened, the non-farm payrolls data was released one step ahead of the Federal Reserve, the foreign exchange market was turbulent, and US stocks rose.

The number of new jobs this quarter was 56, and the unemployment rate dropped to 4.7% from 4.15% in the previous quarter, which met expectations and was good for the stock market.

Lu Liang looked thoughtful, and suddenly he realized that the non-farm employment index was released on the eve of the interest rate hike, which clearly meant that they wanted both, and they did not want the bull market to be interrupted by the interest rate hike.

Because the Fed's interest rate hike will inevitably lead to capital outflow from the stock market, reducing liquidity in the stock market, which will be bearish for the stock market.

As soon as Lu Liang received the news, he called Wen Chao and said succinctly: "Non-agricultural employment data will be released first, and 80% of the funds will enter the China-Japan-Europe-UK foreign exchange market in four ways, waiting for the opportunity to short and wait for the real market to start."

At the same time, Wen Chao received the news and quickly issued the latest instructions: "80% of all funds should be moved into the China-Japan-Europe-UK foreign exchange market to prepare for short selling."

"The Labor Bureau's non-farm payrolls data is significantly higher than expected. Mr. Lu, why do you want to short the foreign exchange of these four countries?"

Ota was stunned and frowned. The non-farm payroll data met expectations, which was obviously good for the stock market, but why should it flow into the foreign exchange market?

The US non-farm employment index is a magical data. If it is much higher than expectations, the stock market will collapse, just like the last time the Dow Jones Industrial Average crashed.

It is necessary to maintain a certain number of unemployed people to enjoy the demographic dividend. If the unemployment rate is too low, employees will have no sense of crisis and will start to demand salary and benefit increases, which will affect the company's profits.

But if it is lower than expected in the previous quarter, it means that there are a large number of unemployed people in the country, which means that the economy is in a downturn and the stock market will also collapse.

Just like the non-farm employment data released this quarter, it was neither high nor low, and it just met expectations, which is the biggest positive for the stock market.

The last second, when he saw the non-farm employment data, Ota Ling's admiration for Lu Liang arose in his heart, like a surging river, endless, and he thought that they were going to enter the US stock market and go long.

As a result, he was suddenly told to turn his guns around and enter the foreign exchange market of the four major international currencies other than the US dollar.

He even thought he was hallucinating.

It was not only Ota Rei who had this idea, but also the more than 60 traders on duty tonight.

Only a few of them took action, and most of them looked at Ota Rei to confirm the order. Most of the workplaces in Tokyo are based on seniority, and those who can sit here are all over 30 years old.

Why should Wen Chao, a 26- or 27-year-old kid who is Chinese, be allowed to command them?

It is one thing to verbally agree to be commanded, but it is another thing entirely to actually be commanded.

After all, it involves $40 billion in funds and a five-fold leverage, and any slight carelessness could result in a huge loss of more than one billion dollars.

Wen Chao saw that out of the 200 billion yuan in the total account, only less than million yuan followed his orders and entered the British and American foreign exchange markets.

His face was as gloomy as water, and he said in a deep voice: "You don't need to question Mr. Lu's instructions, just follow them."

Having said that, no one present took action, including the few traders who had originally taken action.

At this time, they all stopped and looked at Ota Ling, needing his latest instructions.

Wen Chao didn't care about maintaining his demeanor and shouted angrily: "Mr. Ota, do you need me to ask Mr. Lu again?"

He has followed Lu Liang for more than two years and is very familiar with Lu Liang's operating methods and personality. Since he has told him the next operations in detail, it means that the market is about to start.

Lu Liang is also very selfish. Since he knows the position information of Sumitomo Mitsui, he will never let them get ahead.

They should have rushed into the foreign exchange markets of the four countries regardless of anything the moment Lu Liang gave the order.

Build a position at the lowest price and strive to maximize profits.

"Advisor Wen, please don't be angry. Actually, we have absolute trust in Mr. Lu, but..."

Ota Ling hurriedly smiled and agreed, actually intending to let Wen Chao ask Lu Liang again to confirm the order.

After all, the non-farm payrolls data was released earlier and the stock market was booming. If we enter the foreign exchange market now, we will miss the opportunity.

Before he could finish his words, someone suddenly shouted, "The Federal Reserve announced an interest rate hike, the fourth rate hike in this round..."

As soon as the words fell, the trading room fell into deathly silence. They were all experienced traders and knew what this meant.

Ota Ling suddenly became anxious like an ant on a hot pot: "Hurry, hurry, all the funds will flow into the Shikoku foreign exchange market."

"The US dollar breaks 124..."

"The US and the UK broke 0.73..."

"The US and Europe broke 0.91..."

"The US-China trade war broke 6.68..."

As the Federal Reserve announced the fourth rate hike in this round of interest rate hike cycle, it rose from 1.50% to 2.00%, an increase of 50 basis points.

The rising U.S. stock market was abruptly curbed. Except for the U.S. dollar, currencies of countries around the world plummeted by 0.09%-0.32%.

Although it is only the first decimal place that is insufficient, if we take the RMB's depreciation of 0.095% as an example and the total amount of currency issued by the central bank last year as 168 trillion, it means that in just a few seconds, the currency value evaporated by 1.59 trillion.

As time went on, $200 billion, or nearly 90% of the positions, poured into the currency markets of the four countries, joining the short-selling feast.

Ota felt a little relieved, with a smile on his face and nodding his head. If you only looked at his appearance, you would never tell that he was the helmsman of a trillion-dollar group.

He walked up to Wen Chao, put his arm around his shoulders, and flattered him with a smile, "Advisor Wen, you are a handsome man with a noble bearing. You are worthy of being Mr. Lu's trusted general at such a young age..."

Ota Ling's praises were endless, and he had only one purpose: to hope that Wen Chao would let the matter go.

Anyway, they didn't miss the opportunity, so they just pretended that nothing happened. Just now, because they questioned Lu Liang's decision, they almost missed the best opportunity to enter the market.

It would be best if this news is intercepted by Wen Chao, and never let it reach Lu Liang's ears.

Otherwise, there is no telling what the price will be.

"Counselor Wen, Mr. Kameyama from Kitatoshi, is a close friend of mine and a long-term partner of Sumitomo Mitsui."

Ota Ling didn't know Wen Chao, and thought that Lu Liang liked women, and his subordinates should be similar, so he decided to cater to his tastes.

Beidu is the largest adult video production group in Japan, owning well-known companies in the industry such as S1 and IP Society.

"What a coincidence! They are holding a summer festival recently. Advisor Wen, how about we go together?"

Ota Ling remained calm and watched Wen Chao's reaction, but unfortunately the lustful eyes did not appear on his face.

Wen Chao smiled without saying anything, and suddenly picked up the phone. His conversation with Lu Liang had never been interrupted.

Ota was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry, we shouldn't have doubted you."
