Golden Years in the World of Film and Television

So Han Tao knew that after the last big drop in the stock market, there would be a rebound in about half a month, and it would rise to more than 5,100 points, so he asked Qu Xiaoxiao and Yao Bin to arrange short selling. He was confused, but with several layers of white gloves, he felt relieved.

Soon, a message came back: "Boss, you will be my boss from now on. It's amazing. The market has plummeted again. Thanks to the completion of our short-selling plan.

But boss, due to the huge amount of funds, according to your requirements, we selected several companies, as well as some intraday funds and stock index futures, etc., but we shorted them all, and we made a lot of money this time."

Han Tao responded directly: "The fundamental reason for such a large-scale stock market crash is that the stock market bubble is too high. This is an unprecedented bubble, overvalued, and driven by leveraged funds. This is a gamble, which comes and goes quickly. Deleveraging has just begun, and greater pain is yet to come.

You should have stopped while you were ahead. Although I estimate it will fall again, even below 2500 points, there's no need to gamble any further. Billions of dollars won't attract much attention at this point, so close the deal quickly."

"I understand, Boss. We were worried before because the market rebounded so rapidly that it almost broke through the 5200 point mark you set. Any stock company would buy up and close their positions at any cost, and we would suffer unimaginable losses."

Han Tao smiled faintly and replied, "So, you need determination and courage to do things, and read the news more often. The original circuit breaker policy has been implemented ahead of schedule. As long as the market drops by 10%, the circuit breaker will be activated immediately, and the entire market will stop trading to prevent irrational buying by investors. This is an opportunity. The conditions for short selling in the stock market are perfect. I can only say that God is helping us!"

The other party quickly recovered: "It's not God's help, it's the boss's foresight. The circuit breaker is learned from foreign experience. We originally had a mature trading physique. Who would have thought that the stock market would plummet? It would completely benefit us."

Han Tao smiled and said, "Okay, stop bragging. My plane is about to take off, so hurry up and make arrangements!"

Soon the other party replied: "Got it, don't worry, boss, the operation has already started!"

"Okay!" Han Tao replied, then turned his phone to flight mode and closed his eyes to rest.

In the MINT bar, Yao Bin excitedly drank a glass of beer. With Han Tao's guidance, he and several of his buddies participated in the short-selling plan, and thus made a fortune.

The stock market rebounded a few days ago, rising all the way to 5,100 points, and they almost lost all their funds and pocket money. Once it exceeded 5,200 points, they would have lost everything, and they even regretted being too impulsive.

Now it seems that this was a wise choice. Although the biggest share belonged to Han Tao and Qu Xiaoxiao, they also made a lot of money. Two or three hundred million is not a small amount of money for them. The main thing is to let their families see their abilities.

"Yao Bin, ask Xiao Xiao and Boss Han later. Didn't they talk about setting up an investment fund? Strike while the iron is hot! Now that we have the money, we'll be crying if we miss out on this great opportunity!"

"Go away, do you need to remind me? I'm telling you guys, stop making a fuss. This money still needs to be paid for through business. When Boss Han comes back, we'll go find him."

At this time, several rich second-generations in the bar were already full of admiration for Han Tao, especially Yao Bin, who had become Han Tao's number one lackey. As long as Han Tao said something, he would definitely get things done.

...............

It was like a world of ice and fire. The stock market in Shanghai was extremely cold at this time, and the market was all green. At this time, the atmosphere in Shanghai Securities was extremely solemn, and the staff had serious expressions. Only a few old stock investors gathered in the corner and whispered.

"It's all over! Didn't the financial experts say it would go back up immediately? Why is it still falling every day? How can we survive?"

"Brother, you are also trapped, how much have you lost today?"

"Everything has fallen so much, it's hit the limit down. Even big companies like Jingyan Group can't hold on. Now I can't sell my stocks even if I want to, and I don't know if they will rebound."

Another young man patted his chest in fear and said with lingering fear: "The stocks I bought also hit the limit down, but I was afraid before and sold them as soon as the price dropped. But if I had shorted them, I would have made a lot of money!"

"Don't talk nonsense. Short selling is really stupid. There will definitely be a rebound in the afternoon. The national team will definitely rescue the market."

Jiang Pengfei passed by and heard everyone's discussion, but he didn't say anything. He directly asked the staff: "Hello, Liu Mingli, is Manager Liu here?"

"He's in the office, go up directly."

The staff member replied and then continued to work with his head down.

When Jiang Pengfei went upstairs and saw Liu Mingli's office, he saw a group of people surrounding him, begging him:

"Manager Liu, please give me a few more days. I'll go raise funds right away. Please don't close the position!"

"Yes, yes, give me a few days. I have already collected the money."

"I'm also collecting money. I'll have enough in two days at most!"

When the stock market was rising, these people were all big names in the big investor room, and each of them had tens of millions of liquid funds in their hands. Unexpectedly, they became just like themselves, and their fortunes went downhill. The main reason was that the plunge in the past few days came too suddenly and too quickly.

The stocks in everyone’s hands were immediately capped at the limit down and were about to reach the risk line. If no additional margin was provided, everyone would be liquidated.

Of course, not everyone has added leverage. There are a few people who look worried, but they have only hit the limit down and can afford the loss. However, they are still in pain. Most people are still trying to cover their positions and buy at the bottom.

Unfortunately, they didn’t know, including Jiang Pengfei, that this was just the beginning. Those who were still thinking about buying at the bottom and adding to their positions were just walking on the edge of a cliff.

Chapter 315 The End of the Jiang Family

At the same time, Jiang Nansun saw the news about the continuous stock market crash and hurried home.

When she entered the room, she saw that only her grandmother was at home, and she quickly asked, "Grandma, where is my dad?"

"Your dad went out early this morning. You have an exam coming up, so why are you back?"

When Grandma Jiang saw Jiang Nansun coming back, the smile on her face flashed by, and soon became expressionless, and she put down the newspaper in her hand.

Jiang Nansun no longer cared whether her grandmother was happy or not, and asked directly: "Grandma, I have something urgent to talk to my father about. Where did he go? Did he say when he would be back?"

"Why would he tell me this? He's been acting so secretive these past few days. Why don't you ask your mother? She should know where your father went."

When Jiang Nansun heard her grandmother say this, she knew that she didn't like the whole family being outside and no one was with her, so she had to say:

"I understand, grandma. I'll go to the door and check on my dad to see if he's coming home soon."

After saying that, Jiang Nansun ran out the door, but happened to see her father Jiang Pengfei getting out of a taxi, so she stepped forward and said, "Dad, I have something to ask you!"

"Nansun, Dad has something urgent to tell Grandma, please wait a moment!"

Having said that, Jiang Pengfei stopped caring about his daughter Jiang Nansun and walked directly into the house. He sat in front of Grandma Jiang and said:

"Mom, you still have some money, right? Can you lend it to me first for emergency?"

Seeing that her son had not been home for the past two days and asked for money as soon as he came back today, Grandma Jiang shook her head:

"Didn't I give you my passbook last time? Did you spend it all so quickly? There's nothing I can do. I'm out of money!"

Hearing this, Jiang Pengfei pleaded with a try-it attitude, "Mom, I know you still have some, can you just lend me some? I swear, I will definitely pay you back!"

"You won't give it back. I'm your mother, how could I not know you? I've given you everything I should have given you. If there's anything I can't give you, I can't give it to you even if you kneel down in front of me!"

Hearing this, Jiang Pengfei quickly knelt on the ground, took Grandma Jiang's hand and said, "Mom, I beg you, please give me a little more, I beg you. I'm not an outsider, I'm your son!"

Seeing her son Jiang Pengfei's performance, Grandma Jiang said angrily, "You are my son, but you only know how to borrow money from me. I have already given you the money for the coffin. Have you ever thought about me? I really don't have any money to give you. You can take care of yourself."

Seeing his mother's grim expression, Jiang Pengfei pleaded again: "Mom, please lend me some more. This is a good opportunity, and my margin is not enough. If you don't lend me money, then I will be liquidated. Please help me."

"I don't understand what a margin call is. I only know that you've already ruined your entire family, and there's nothing I can do about it!"

"Mom, you are my real mother, are you really going to watch me die like this?"

Jiang Nansun stood at the door, watching her father begging her grandmother. Jiang Nansun knew that her father must not have listened and did not sell the stocks when the market rebounded a few days ago. Instead, he was hoping for luck and should be completely trapped now.

Grandma Jiang had already realized that her son had become a bottomless pit. No matter how much money she gave him, it would not be enough to cover the losses in the stock market. So she ignored her son's request and got up to go back to her room.

Seeing that his mother no longer cared about him, Jiang Pengfei could only sit on the ground in despair. He had already talked to his wife Dai Yin before, and she had already used the money to buy a car for Nansun, so he was completely desperate.

He had considered selling all his stocks before, but the rebound last Monday, with the market rising all the way, gave him a chance to turn things around. Rather than asking for help from others, Jiang Pengfei hoped that he could give his daughter a future.

However, things did not go as planned. Now all the stocks he bought are falling and have all hit the limit down. If he cannot get the margin today, he may be forced to close his positions tomorrow.

So at this moment, Jiang Pengfei couldn't even close his position, let alone cut his losses and leave. He could only watch the stock explode.

Jiang Nansun saw Jiang Pengfei in the living room and hurried in to ask, "Dad, didn't you listen to Han Tao and us? You didn't sell your stocks, right? Tell me the truth, what's going on now?"

"Nan Sun, Daddy is sorry for you. The stock market rebounded last Monday and broke through 5,000 points in the past few days, so Daddy wanted to wait and see. But who knew it would suddenly fall again the day before yesterday, and it's been hitting the limit down for three consecutive days. This time, our family is really finished."

Jiang Nansun asked tentatively, "Dad, is there no chance at all? If we admit the loss, can't we just cut our losses and leave now?"

"There's no chance anymore. Unless someone is willing to buy all my stocks at once, it will be too late to sell them.

Dad is sorry for you. I originally thought that after making money, I would prepare a generous dowry for you. It's my fault that I didn't stop in time. Now everything is ruined.

The stocks I hold are not worth hundreds of thousands, but tens of millions, and some of them are leveraged. I guess I can’t even keep my house.

Nansun, go back and talk to Suosuo and see if you can bring your mom and grandma over to stay with you for a few days. I'm worried that the debt collectors will come to our house and scare your mom and grandma."

When Jiang Nansun heard her father Jiang Pengfei say this, she was shocked and said, "Have we reached the point where we have to run away to avoid debt?

Dad, how much money do you owe? I have some money here, how about I give it to you first? How much deposit do you need?"

"How much money do you have? Not to mention tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands or millions wouldn't necessarily help. I owe tens of millions, and my house is mortgaged to the bank. Unless I have a huge amount of money, there's no hope!"

After saying that, Jiang Pengfei looked at his daughter with a forced smile, his face full of bitterness and despair.

After hearing her father's answer, Jiang Nansun knew that she really couldn't help much, so she could only urge him to sell it as soon as possible and get back as much as he could, or at least pay back part of it first.

"Dad, you can't give up. Sell it as soon as the market opens tomorrow. Don't be reluctant to part with it!"

"Okay, Dad got it. Don't worry about it. Don't forget to tell Suosuo about it when you go back today."

Jiang Pengfei nodded and said that he would definitely try his best to withdraw. However, although he said this, he still fantasized that maybe it wouldn't be that bad, and what if the stock market would turn around.

After Jiang Nansun learned about the crisis, she immediately called Zhu Suosuo, wanting to talk to her best friend about family matters. Now she could only talk to Suosuo first.

In addition to this, she also had to speed up the arrangements for Yuan Yuan. That night, after the lie was exposed, what Yuan Yuan said to her was still clearly visible.

"Zhang Anren and I were childhood sweethearts. After he came to Shanghai, he fell in love with you, so he broke up with me. But he promised to be responsible for my future and to help me stay in Shanghai."

Compared with Zhang Anren's timidity, Jiang Nansun and Zhu Suosuo admire Yuan Yuan's honesty, although she also knows that Yuan Yuan is not the kind girl in the traditional sense, and is even a bit of a green tea girl in Zhu Suosuo's words.

But Yuan Yuan lives a more sober and independent life. She must be sad about Zhang Anren's fickleness. She must not like her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend, and she should even be full of hatred towards her.

When faced with this kind of relationship, a normal person would either stay away or retaliate, but Yuan Yuan did not. She made Jiang Nansun see Zhang Anren's indifference, so in response to Yuan Yuan's honesty, Jiang Nansun decided to help her.

However, she became a little anxious when something like this happened suddenly at home. After all, she couldn't let her family and herself worry about this kind of thing.

………………

Chapter 316 Standing Guard for My Best Friend

At the same time, Zhu Suosuo was following her colleague April to the coffee shop downstairs to buy coffee. However, when she arrived at the store, she did not see Yuan Yuan, and she couldn't help but look around curiously.

Suddenly, she saw Zhang Anren standing outside the door, talking to Yuan Yuan, although she had already known about the relationship between Zhang Anren and Yuan Yuan from Jiang Nansun and Yuan Yuan.

But as long as Jiang Nansun and Zhang Ainren have not broken up, she needs to keep an eye on Zhang Ainren and prevent him from doing anything to let Jiang Nansun down.

Fortunately, she had already communicated with Brother Han and asked Han Tao to help solve Yuan Yuan's placement problem, so she only needed to keep an eye on her for the next two days. Thinking of this, she walked over and said, "Zhang Anren?"

"Suosuo!" Zhang Anren was a little surprised to see Zhu Suosuo appear.

Yuan Yuan looked at Zhu Suosuo calmly, and didn't care why Zhu Suosuo came to buy coffee in advance, and greeted her generously:

"Hello Sister Suosuo, are you here to buy coffee?"

Zhu Suosuo nodded: "Well, my colleagues and I came here to buy coffee, what a coincidence!"

Zhang Anren didn't know Yuan Yuan had confessed yet, so he quickly explained, "Yuan Yuan has always had a stomach ulcer. Her work life has been a bit irregular recently, and now she has had a relapse. I'm going to give her some medicine on the way."

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo glanced at the weak Yuan Yuan. She had been busy these days, and although they lived together, she hadn't paid much attention to her, so she asked:

"Are you sick? If you're sick, don't go to work. Otherwise, a minor illness could turn into a major one. You should be more careful."

Yuan Yuan shook her head: "Thank you Sister Suosuo for your concern. I feel much better now."

"If you have any problems or feel unwell in the future, just tell me. We live together, and I work nearby, so it's very convenient for me to bring you medicine.

Look at you, why did you bother Zhang Anren to deliver medicine to you? Isn't this a waste of his time? Don't you think so? "

Zhang Anren was silent for a moment and did not answer immediately, because he knew that the more he spoke, the more mistakes he made. It was not until Yuan Yuan was embarrassed that he said:

"It's okay. I'm just on my way, actually."

Hearing this, Zhu Suosuo glanced at Zhang Anren and said, "Then go and get busy. I'll take care of it here."

"Then I'll be leaving first. Bye!"

After saying that, Zhang Anren gave Yuan Yuan a look, then walked away somewhat embarrassedly. He felt as if he had been seen through.

Yuan Yuan also noticed Zhu Suosuo's unhappiness. She has not yet established a firm foothold in the Magic City and is still counting on Jiang Nansun and her for help, including contacting Han Tao, for which she needs the two of them to act as middlemen.

Thinking of this, Yuan Yuan flattered, "Thank you, Sister Suosuo. I'll go to work too!"

Zhu Suosuo said meaningfully, "Well, take care of yourself. Brother Han will be back today. I've asked him to find a good job for you. Don't work too hard."

"Got it. Sister Suosuo, please say thank you to Brother Han Tao for me. I'm going to get busy now!"

After saying that, Yuan Yuan ran into the kitchen with the medicine. Seeing that Yuan Yuan and Zhang Anren had left, Zhu Suosuo quickly sent a message to Jiang Nansun, telling her what she had seen and asking her what her plans were.

Jiang Nansun was already in a state of panic. Although she was disappointed with Zhang Ainren, she had not yet made up her mind to break up.

Because she knew that if she broke up with Zhang Anren, her father would definitely introduce her to some financial elite or rich second-generation guy, especially at this time, her father would not miss the opportunity.

"Suosuo, I know Zhang Anren went to see Yuanyuan. He called me. After all, they're new here, so it's only natural for us to take care of each other. I have some troubles to tell you. Let's go home and talk about it tonight."

"Okay, just know what's going on. Don't drag it out for too long. If it doesn't work out, just leave it to Brother Han. I don't want to break up with you just because you're cheated on."

"I know. Let's talk about it when I get back. I won't delay your work. Go get busy!"

Looking at Jiang Nansun's answer, Zhu Suosuo frowned. At this time, April walked up to her and asked:
