Chapter 432 The Beginning
"Brother, let me tell you, there must be something big happening over there in the United States.
Some scholars are beginning to predict that an economic crisis is already on the way, and even say that if an economic crisis occurs this time, it will be no less disastrous than the bursting of the Internet bubble."
The next day, Chai Daguan called in a hurry and made a fuss.
There is a time difference of more than ten hours between the United States and China, so the news that S&P lowered the rating of subprime mortgage bonds was only seen by most people in China after they woke up.
Ma Liang looked at his US stock account on the computer and responded calmly: "Who can say for sure? It's really possible!"
Jennifer asked Jennifer to open the U.S. stock account in advance, and he would play around with it first to practice his skills.
Although news is flying that the economy is about to collapse, the financial market has not plummeted instantly like the dot-com bubble burst.
Not only will it not fall sharply, but it will even rise while falling, so where can I go to reason?
The financial market is changing rapidly. There are so many big capitals waiting to harvest leeks every day. How can you, a retail investor, make money so easily?
Although yesterday's news that Standard & Poor's downgraded the rating of U.S. subprime mortgage bonds was indeed shocking, the financial market was also shaken.
But things quickly stabilized, and the situation continued to rise and fall.
Just yesterday, although the three major U.S. stock indexes all fell by about 1%, the fighting there was full of blood.
Those who increase leverage and try to take advantage of this negative news and short-sell will probably lose their pants.
Only people like Ma Liang, who relied solely on their capital for fun, escaped the dealer's harvest.
Yesterday, he didn't invest much in short selling, just a few hundred thousand dollars, so the profit was naturally very inconspicuous.
That's what investment is like. It's meaningless to talk about the rate of return regardless of the principal size.
If you want to make big money, you must gamble enough, otherwise there would be so many people taking risks and increasing leverage.
Ma Liang was not in finance in his previous life. He only remembered that the U.S. stock market would plummet on a few key days. At other times, there seemed to be no big opportunities.
After all, various countries have made great efforts to rescue the market, and they are constantly injecting blood into the financial market.
Therefore, even though the subprime mortgage crisis was widely reported by the media, the initial decline in financial markets in various countries was not large.
Even during the turbulent period in early 2008, negative events continued to occur, but at the same time, there were also many positive policies.
It was not until September 15, 2008, that Lehman Brothers, the fourth largest investment bank in the United States, filed for bankruptcy protection due to investment failures and failed acquisition negotiations. This completely triggered a global financial tsunami.
So until then, Ma Liang will only be able to make some small money on a few key days of big declines.
The real opportunity to make a fortune will have to wait until September next year.
And he can't be too greedy, in case the goal is too big and someone will target him.
"Oh, look at what's going on!
If things continue like this, I will still be a venture capital investor in the next one or two years!" After hearing his reply, Chai Jin cursed angrily.
After all, if a global economic crisis occurs, the primary market will definitely be short of money.
Venture capital is a game of beating the drum and passing the flowers around. Round after round of financing, projects are also passed on to different capital hands.
But if there is no follow-up funding, then no one will dare to invest in the future.
That's why Chai Daguan gritted his teeth. Just when his [Tianhao Capital] was ready to show off its talents, it encountered an economic crisis. Thinking about it makes me feel depressed.
It can only be said that in the face of the general trend, personal power is insignificant, even if you are the richest man.
Ma Liang could only comfort him a few words, and then hung up the phone on Chai Jin.
He continued to look at the performance of US stocks yesterday, thinking about whether to add more weight to his next move.
While I was thinking about it, my phone rang again. I picked it up and picked it up immediately.
Because the call was from Sister Jiang University, it was probably still night in New York.
"Senior."
Just as Ma Liang wanted to show concern, he was interrupted by a shout from the other side.
"Have you read the news? This economic crisis is really serious!" Jiang Yinqiu asked anxiously. She was very worried that her lover would be implicated.
After all, Ma Liang's investment business has already gone to the United States, and the impact is the most direct.
Ma Liang responded with an indifferent expression: "Don't worry, I've been prepared, nothing big will happen."
"I heard from Jennifer that you asked her to help open a US stock account?" Jiang Yinqiu became even more anxious after hearing this, "Don't mess around. You must calm down recently."
She is the nominal head of the New York branch of [Dale Capital] and has to sign important documents, so she and Jennifer often meet.
I also accidentally heard the other party talking about Ma Liang's account opening, and I unconsciously became worried.
Since joining Goldman Sachs as an intern in the front-line investment department, she has become very well-informed, fearing that her lover will suffer big losses in the financial market.
Seeing Sister Jiang University being so nervous about him, Ma Liang also smiled proudly: "Anxin, I promise I won't mess around."
"That's what you said!" Jiang Yinqiu was still doubtful, "I'm telling you seriously, our department has been plotting something recently.
It seems that they want to snipe those who are short-selling, so you must be careful!"
Sister Jiang University is really going all out, even disregarding the confidentiality principle of Goldman Sachs Group employees, and directly leaking internal information.
Although she only knew a little bit of detailed information, it was enough to issue an early warning.
How could Ma Liang not understand the powerful relationship? Hearing this, he felt moved in his heart: "Senior sister, I will pay attention to it."
The more chaotic the market, the more ruthless the financial giants will be. How can he not understand this?
"That's right! If you fight alone, there is no way you can be the opponent of those big institutions. It's better to be careful." Jiang Yinqiu finally let go of his hanging heart.
Listening to Sister Jiang's constant talk, Ma Liang didn't feel annoyed at all, but instead felt warmer and warmer in his heart.
This feeling of being cared for was exactly what he had lacked in his two lifetimes.
The last time we said goodbye, half a year had passed, and suddenly a strong sense of longing came over her. Ma Liang couldn't help but blurted out: "Senior sister, I will go to the United States to see you in a few days."
If Su Xiaomi wants to study abroad, she must accompany her. After all, he is the one who found the relationship.
It just so happens that I can pick up the missing items along the way. In the memory of my previous life, there are still many good projects that I can invest in next.
"Really?" Jiang Yinqiu was so excited after hearing this that he almost jumped out of bed with joy.
Ma Liang replied affirmatively: "Really, I will make time to go there next month."
"Well, then I'll wait for you." Jiang Yinqiu responded happily, already beginning to long for the scene of meeting again.
The two chatted for a long time, until it was time for Sister Jiang to go to bed, and they reluctantly hung up the phone.
As soon as Ma Liang put down his cell phone, it rang again within two seconds. This time it was the witch.
He was speechless when he saw it. These two people really seemed to be destined enemies. Even making a phone call would cause the car to crash. How could it be such a coincidence?
