Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

"Thanks to those bearish analysts, cheers! Let's thank them, we're rich!"

The largest nightclub in New York was booked by a fund company. The host on stage was Watson, the fund manager. He was in a lunge position with his body leaning back at a 30-degree angle, holding a microphone in one hand and pointing to the top of his head with the other, looking extremely arrogant.

The beautiful women beside them, holding two large baskets, were tossing dollars down, A DOLLAR, countless A DOLLARs raining down into the air, and everyone below was swept up in a frenzy.

Lehman Brothers collapsed, and they made a fortune. Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, and they liquidated their positions at the last minute, earning three billion dollars. They were the big short sellers, and they made a fortune.

"They're enjoying fine wine and beautiful women, while we're here suffering through filming. It's really unfair."

Two reporters infiltrated the nightclub. One, carrying a DSLR camera, hid in a corner and occasionally filmed some exciting scenes; the other, carrying the latest model video camera, filmed them, and many exciting programs were staged from time to time.

"Even if you made three billion dollars, you would still do the same."

"No, I'll go even crazier than that!"

"Heh...that's...good heavens, what are they doing, putting on a show? This is a public place, and they...are they playing cards now?"

In a corner unseen by them, a far more exciting game of Dou Dizhu (a popular Chinese card game) was unfolding than they could see...

"Hehe... So what? We'll just sell these for money, and when they're drunk, we'll join them."

"Damn, your idea is brilliant."

……

The following day, many newspapers reported on the huge fortune a certain fund had made, their revelry in nightclubs, and especially the fund manager's words: "Thank you to those short-selling analysts, cheers! Let's thank them, we're rich!"

He made the front page of the New York Wall Street Journal, and his iconic photograph, as the front-page photo, was very eye-catching.

"These bastards, they're the ones who made us lose everything!"

Someone threw the newspaper on the ground and cursed viciously; he was naturally unhappy that he was losing money while others were making money, but he couldn't stand it if everyone else lost money.

As for who really caused the crisis, they don't care. People like these Americans in North America, who don't even know the geography, naturally can't distinguish between investment banks, banks, and funds. They only know that they are all in cahoots.

In this situation, a fund company suddenly became rich, and naturally, it attracted more attention.

"The collapse of Lehman Brothers was not their fault; it was simply because they foresaw the other party's losses and made the right move."

Some people offered this explanation, but they wouldn't listen; they were simply furious and wanted to take action.

People in North America are radical; they can't stand losing money.

With the collapse of Lehman Brothers, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac soon entered their countdown to whether they would be taken over.

Everyone realized that if Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were taken over, they would lose everything. The stock prices of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac plummeted, and many people had a feeling that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac would be taken over.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's stock prices have fallen to $7, a huge drop from their peak.

"F**K, they won again. What's the use of those analysts? They cheated us out of our money."

"We should have listened to the minority back then; they were right."

……

Just as the vast majority of investors were complaining, the fund companies also realized that the situation was about to deteriorate and began to liquidate their positions, and the scale of the liquidation was very large.

This time, the Watson Foundation has once again taken the lead. It feels that its choice back then was right, absolutely right, even though it was guided by others.

After Watson closes these positions, his funds will jump from $3 billion to $5.3 billion. After deducting dividends, he should still have $1.7 billion left.

Watson suddenly calmed down. He felt that in more than two years, he should only have $1.7 billion. This shouldn't be the case. He earned all of this himself, and at least half of it should be his own.

Greed began to spread and grow within him at that moment. He picked up the phone on his desk, made a call, and summoned his secretary.

His secretary was a long-legged beauty who had been a model. He hired her to be his secretary for $20,000 a month, though the company paid for it, not him.

"Hi, honey, I have something important for you to do."

His voice was coming from a device in a small room upstairs.

"We should have more. You do me a favor... then come back and give me the information... once it's done, we can have a lot of money, we can..."

His secretary, his bedmate, is the person he trusts most right now.

The other partners... well, they're just tools. $5.7 billion can drive anyone crazy.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were the last projects they shorted. After this project was completed, they basically made a victorious escape.

……

The subprime crisis has fully erupted, but a major drama is unfolding in Frankfurt, with Volkswagen's stock trading volume increasing and stock prices rising.

Because of the recent decision by Bao Shi Jie to acquire Dai Zhong, some people believe that this is an impossible task, namely the existence of the "Popularity Act" which prevents them from completing the acquisition. This has led to numerous hedge funds rushing in to short the Popularity Act.

"Bao Shi Jie is insane. They want to acquire Volkswagen and take back their family's assets. Don't even dream about it."

"Heh... Aren't we going to short him? What are we waiting for?"

Fund companies rushed in to short Volkswagen's stock, hoping to make a fortune. Even Germany's richest man joined in; it's fair to say everyone wanted to cut a piece of the pie from Bukit Messenger.

Volkswagen's stock also rose to 210 euros, a very high price that made all shareholders unable to resist and immediately sold their shares.

"Boss, Volkswagen's stock is approaching 200 euros, should we sell it?"

When Zhang San received the call, he simply said, "Contact them... tell them we have what they need... and get them to cooperate with us..."

……

A few days later, on Wall Street, Watson, accompanied by his most trusted secretary, was waiting at a traffic light in his Ferrari.

"Hey baby, you did a great job. I've transferred all the money, haha... When they get off work today and come back next week, they'll find there's nothing there, haha..."

"Bang!"
