Chapter 420: How much sorrow can you have
Xu Kun already knew the good news without asking, so he paid more attention to what Feng Xiaogang said about the interdependence of blessings and misfortunes.
So on the way to send a few people to the hotel, Xu Kun specifically asked Feng Xiaogang for advice on which god he had offended this time.
Are they the ones who advocate that American imperialism is invincible?
But the U.S. emperor itself has acknowledged the subprime mortgage crisis, right?
"There are those people, but they are not the focus."
As Feng Xiaogang spoke, he motioned to Xu Fan, the passenger in the front seat, to take out a large stack of newspaper clippings from his bag.
Xu Kun took it and took a look, and saw that some were cut from newspapers, some were cut from magazines, some were the size of tofu cubes, and some were long articles...
The central idea of these various articles is one: the current trend is rising in the east and falling in the west, so the more ruined the United States is, the better the situation will be for us. If we don’t cover our positions or enter the market at this time, we will not be able to catch the last train of wealth freedom. .
The most important thing is that many of these articles mentioned him, Xu, and used his arguments to promote China's economic rise and become the backbone of Asia and even the world to endorse the domestic stock market.
Even the people who successfully predicted the subprime mortgage crisis said this, so why should anyone hesitate? Hurry and rush inside!
Some articles even exaggerated his life experiences and described him as some kind of financial wizard.
Xu Kun broke into a cold sweat after reading it.
What the hell is this? !
Even if he didn't pay much attention to stocks in his previous life, he still knew that there had been little improvement in this thing, basically hovering around 3,000 points.
Xu Kun turned around and asked Feng Xiaogang: "How high is the Shanghai index now?"
It was Xu Fan in the front row who answered him: "The 5,000 point breakthrough at the end of last month, is it now 5,300 or 5,400 points?"
“After the subprime mortgage crisis came out, the price didn’t fall?”
"It has fallen, otherwise it would have exceeded 5,000 points long ago."
"Haha~"
Feng Xiaogang pointed to the stack of newspaper clippings and sneered: "The people who wrote these articles were probably singing praises for the United States a few months ago. Now they suddenly have a unified voice saying that things are rising in the east and falling in the west, and that grocery shopping aunts beat hedge funds. What do you think they want to do?”
This is also what Xu Kun finds strange.
As we all know, financial practitioners are one of the groups that likes to advocate the West. Now that they have suddenly turned 180 degrees, it cannot be because of their conscience, right?
The most likely possibility is that they and the investors behind them were not mentally prepared for the coming subprime mortgage crisis and were not ready to withdraw from the leek field, so they hoped to deceive more people into taking over at a high position.
When the bankers run away and the stock market collapses, leaving chicken feathers and broken leeks everywhere, the 'economists' who publish articles don't matter, since not many people know them anyway.
But I have to rely on my face and fame to make a living!
If this resentment is vented on myself, the so-called ‘economic geek in the film industry’...
"No!"
If he hadn't been in the car, Xu Kun would have protested. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have to make a clarification as soon as possible, otherwise I can't afford to take the blame!"
Xu Fan didn't quite agree and asked, "But what if the stock market crashes after you clarify? What if someone fanned the flames and said it was because of you, saying that you helped foreigners short the domestic stock market? What would happen? Do it?”
"This..."
Xu Kun's claws were numb.
I just wanted to use this thing as a gimmick to make a movie, why was it inexplicably put on the fire?
At this time, Xu Fan said with relief: "Actually, the stock market may not necessarily plummet. There is nothing wrong with saying it rises in the east and falls in the west."
This comfort has no effect at all. There is nothing wrong with putting it on other things, but it can be placed on the stock market...
Xu Kun was in a dilemma along the way, but when he arrived at the hotel, Wang Zhonglei created another obstacle for him.
It turns out that Wang Zhonglei came here this time hoping to sign an agreement with Xu Kun to ensure that he could not sell the original shares of Huayi at will within a certain period of time after Huayi went public.
This period is obviously longer than others. "Kun'er."
Wang Zhonglei explained in a friendly manner: "This is definitely not the company's intention to target you. The main reason is that you are now known as an 'entertainment economist'. If you reduce your holdings of stocks too early, it may cause harm to the company." cause negative impact
Don't worry, the company will definitely not let you suffer any losses. The company will definitely make up for you from other places for everything you lose. ”
It's not that Xu Kun can't understand why Huayi made such a decision.
But he was still a little unhappy.
If my prediction is wrong, I will admit it after being hit. But this prediction is obviously correct, but why is it all bad news?
That night, he got off the Ekatrina, thought about it for half the night, and finally decided to pour cold water on the stock market.
According to the current domestic trend, the bookmakers should not have withdrawn yet, so even if he jumps out to pour cold water on the market, the rhetoric of ‘the east rises and the west falls’ will not end in a short time.
As long as there is a buffer period, his situation of being angered by investors will be much better, and some rational investors will be grateful to him.
As for what the bookmakers who have been affected by their plans think and do...
Xu Kun couldn't care anymore.
No matter what, it is better than becoming an accomplice who helps the banker cut leeks.
Xu Kun persuaded Wang Zhonglei again, so on September 9, the day the Thai Film Affairs Bureau was established, some entertainment newspapers were the first to publish his pessimistic predictions about the stock market.
As a result, that night, while he was having a drink with the leader of the Thai Film Bureau, he suddenly received a threatening phone call.
The other party asked him to withdraw the relevant reports immediately, and it was best to clarify that he did not say those words, otherwise he would suffer.
"Then you come to me, I live in XX military base in Thailand now."
After Xu Kun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It is impossible to retract the report, which will only make him a human being at both ends.
As for the threat from the other party, Xu Kun thought that he might be able to stay in Thailand for a while - under the influence of the external environment, the evil fire of the stock market should not last long. After the collapse, he would see which way the wind blows before returning to China. Late.
However, even if Xu Kun did not withdraw the report, there would be only a handful of media outlets willing to report his pessimistic remarks, and only a few of them could be seen online later.
Naturally, the stock market has not been affected much and is still rising steadily.
The good news is that those financial media no longer use him as an example to prove that the east is rising and the west is falling, and A-shares are king.
Probably because he didn't think he was a threat, and there were no more domestic threatening calls. Xu Fan's previous worries about him being pulled out as a target naturally didn't happen.
In addition, many Ai Kuns are also inspired by their idols to try to persuade their families to withdraw from the stock market. Although the success rate is not very high, after the stock market crashes, this matter will definitely further promote the centripetal force of Ai Kuns.
October 16th.
Half a month before the crew finished training, the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index reached its all-time high of 6109 points - the original highest point in time and space was 6124 points. It can be seen that Mr. Xu still caused a little impact, or more than a dozen points. .
Since then, the stock market has begun to fluctuate downward.
On November 5, PetroChina went public and became the world's largest listed company by market value.
On November 11, A-shares encountered Black Thursday and plummeted, led by PetroChina.
Asking you how much sorrow you have, just like having a full warehouse of PetroChina, has become a popular meme this year.
However, the decline at that time was actually not that big or rapid. What really made people unbearable was 2008. When the stock index opened in 2008, it still had 5,265 points, and towards the end of the year, it was only over 1,600 points.
In comparison, subsequent stock market crashes were nothing short of childish.
And at the end of November when the stock market was in a slump, Xu Kun's previous pessimistic predictions were finally widely reported. Regardless of whether he liked it or not, his reputation as an economist in the entertainment industry became more and more solid.
