Chapter 699 [Buying the dips, a rapid reversal]
Goldman Sachs headquarters.
"What did you say? Someone wants to bet on call options for Blue Star Technology?" Paul Watson, who was in his office, looked at the salesperson who came to report the matter in a little astonishment. Paul Watson is now the vice president of Goldman Sachs, one of the absolute core levels. His promotion path is largely due to Luo Sheng. No matter what, this cannot be denied.
In a sense, Luo Sheng is a noble person in his life, but it is also undeniable that Paul Watson himself is also capable. It is useless even if he encounters a noble person.
"What's the origin?" Paul Watson asked again.
"According to the information provided by the other party, he works for a private equity institution, but there are so many such private equity institutions on Wall Street." The salesperson replied truthfully.
Upon hearing this, Paul Watson was silent at his desk, his fingers pounding on the table frequently, thinking.
The so-called abnormality will lead to evil. This incident made him unable to help but think of the subprime mortgage crisis ten years ago. Luo Sheng put options in the betting housing market during that big market.
And today's strange thing is a coincidence and it is more or less related to Luo Sheng.
Paul Watson is thinking about a question at this moment, trying to figure it out, that is, why is the other party optimistic about Bluestar Technology's ability to rebound against the trend in the future.
Judging from the current situation, it is almost impossible. This time, it is a combination of financial warfare, technology warfare, public opinion warfare, intelligence warfare and other dimensions at the same time. The strength is unprecedentedly powerful, more than ten times higher than the attack on Alstom back then.
Paul Watson thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Even Bafte had reduced his position in Blue Star Technology's stock holdings to 20%. The day before the pedaling decline, the stock god had already sold 80% of his stock holdings.
The salesperson waited for a long time, and saw that Paul Watson was silent, so he couldn't help but break the quiet atmosphere and asked, "Boss, should we sign this order or not?"
Paul Watson did not answer, but looked at the other party and asked, "What is the nominal value of the contract?"
The salesperson replied: "$323 million."
Paul Watson pondered for a moment again, his eyebrows were sometimes loose and sometimes raised. After a while, he decided to make a decision: "Removing this order, and then we will make a call option for Blue Star Technology ourselves."
The salesman who heard this was stunned and stammered: "Boss? What did you... say? Are you talking about... making a call option for Blue Star Technology?"
Who is crazy?
Paul Watson changed his previous volatility and said firmly, "You heard it right, just do what I said."
The salesperson couldn't help but question, "Why?"
Paul smiled and said, "There is no reason. There is no logical reference and no indicator parameters for this decision. It's just that I believe Luo Sheng is my lucky god, that's all."
Trust Luo Sheng, win the flag.
At the same time, the eastern hemisphere, far away from the other side of the ocean, was in the dark. Luo Sheng got up from the bed at this time and went to the bathroom to swear. For some reason, he suddenly felt goosebumps. He thought about it and shrugged and then went back to the bedroom to go to bed.
After Paul Watson made a decision, the salesperson went to see the customer, and the customer who came to Goldman Sachs Investment Bank was nothing but Carl.
"Sorry, Mr. Carl, we will not make this order. You can go to another bank and wish you good luck."
Carl was a little surprised to see the salesman saying politely and leaving. Goldman Sachs refused such a "money-giving" deal that he did not expect, and he did not expect that Goldman Sachs not only refused, but also made an order by himself.
If the other party doesn't do it, Carl left decisively. It's not just Goldman Sachs on Wall Street, so didn't Deutsche Bank do it?
Carl's next stop is Morgan Stanley. No matter what, this is his last order. After finishing, he completed the task assigned to him by the agency.
...
Omaha, Braska, North America.
Omaha is the largest city in Braska. Every May, investors from all over the world flood into the city because this period of time will hold a Berkshire Hathaway shareholders' meeting called the "Investment World Carnival".
And this is the hometown of the "God of Stocks" Bafite, and it is also the place where he has lived for more than half a century.
This year's Berkshire Hathaway's shareholders' meeting is only about three months away, but now it is very quiet and not paid attention to.
The Gu Shen is now resting in his residence. According to a real estate information website in North America, the current valuation of his residence has reached US$887,000. From the appearance, the Gu Shen’s residence is a gray two-story building with a red maple planted in the yard. The door is surrounded by an iron gate and an iron fence. A surveillance camera is installed at the door, and there are patrol security guards inside the door.
If a car parked near the gate, the security guard will go out to the torso, and the amplifier on the door surveillance will also play voice prompts to urge the other party to leave.
Just ten minutes later, a luxurious business car drove to the door of Bafite and stopped. The security guard in the door came out, but he did not drive him away. Instead, he had a conversation and took the two people who got out of the business car into the residence.
The two of them were employees of Berkshire Hathaway.
In the residential house, one of the visiting employees reported: "Mr. Warren, something strange happened in the Wall Street capital market today, and we think it is necessary to report it to you as soon as possible."
Bafite asked: "What's the matter?"
The employee replied: "Just this morning, a group of people appeared on Wall Street. They were rushing to bet on call options from Blue Star Technology with major investment banks. I believe this matter will soon spread in the internal investment banking circle. We also learned about this news an hour ago."
"What? Bullish Blue Star Technology? Now?" The stock god heard the news and asked again after a moment: "What's the news of any abnormal movement recently?"
Another employee in formal clothing shook his head: "As always, both the Internet and traditional media are now criticizing and criticizing Blue Star Technology, and its stock price has also fallen into a downward trend. Currently, Blue Star Technology's total market value has fallen below US$879.8 billion, and closed down 0.35% after the market today."
Unable to understand.
Even the stock god was a little unable to understand the logic here. Bafet took off his glasses and continued to ask: "Who is the funder behind these people who bet on call options in Blue Star Technology?"
"According to investigation, the information currently available shows that they are the most common private equity fund institutions on Wall Street, but obviously things are not that simple."
Bafette asked again: "What have happened to the Quill Manor in Vancouver recently?"
Quill Manor is a very large and luxurious manor located in Vancouver, Canada. There are 20 or 30 people working in the manor. Now the name of this manor in the investment industry is well known and everyone knows it. It is the office headquarters of the Luo Sheng Family Fund.
The employee standing next to him immediately replied: "Sir, there are really any abnormal movements in the Quill Manor. As early as last week, many large sums of funds have been transferred. I don't know what Quill Manor's intention is."
Hearing this, the gushen turned his head and looked at the employee who answered him. Just as he was about to say something, Bafite's cell phone rang.
"What did you say?"
Even the stock god suddenly showed a shocked expression on his face. The two employees standing next to him were quite surprised, curious about what was being discussed on the phone.
"Well, I understand, that's it." Bafite ended the call very quickly, then looked at the two employees and said decisively: "Arranging a liquidity fund immediately and buying Blue Star Technology's stocks tomorrow."
The moment the two employees heard this, they were stunned.
"Mr. Warren, are you talking about buying stocks of Blue Star Technology? Now?"
Bafette put on his glasses again and said slowly: "What do you want to know on the phone? Ten minutes ago, Shengfeng Capital disclosed an internal undisclosed news to major global investors. Shengfeng Capital shorted $140 billion, and Berkshire also holds a certain investment share of Shengfeng Capital, so it can also make a profit of the $140 billion."
"But this is not the point. The point is that this shows that Luo Sheng had known the market trend for a long time and knew that Blue Star Technology would plummet, so he shorted himself again. Although there is no evidence to prove whether these people who bet on Blue Star Technology's call options were secretly sent by Luo Sheng, the probability is already above 90%. Now there is only one iron evidence. At this time, he actively disclosed internal information through Shengfeng Capital. Today, it happened that the group of people betting on Blue Star Technology's call options signed the contract."
"What does this mean? It means that Luo Sheng has completed the layout he wants and has started playing the cards. The purpose is to push the entire market forward. Although I don't know what he is relying on, there must be an opportunity to reverse. Blue Star Technology's 879.8 billion position is the support level and will not fall again. The new big market will start tomorrow. The market will be fleeting. This is twice the profit. You must buy at the bottom quickly. Go now, immediately!"
The two employees nodded repeatedly in a daze, then hurriedly left the stock god's residence and went to prepare to buy the funds from Blue Star Technology at the bottom.
After the two employees left, Bafite was alone in the living room. When he thought of the banks on Wall Street that signed Blue Star Technology call options, he couldn't help but smiled gloatingly. Ten years ago, one leg was broken and he didn't have a memory. Ten years later, today, judging from this situation, the other leg would probably have to be interrupted.
At this moment, ordinary melon-eating crowds, media organizations, small and medium-sized investors and retail investors in the outside world don’t know that the situation is about to usher in a drastic change. Only a very small number of people have already had a premonition of the future, and among these very few people, there are very few people like the stock god Buffett, who choose to buy at the bottom of Blue Star Technology.
There are only a handful of people who are proactive and snatching their points.
