Chapter 163: Grabbing a Billion Dollars Is Fake
The much-anticipated 25th is finally here.
A week ago, Lu Liang shorted the pound, one against three, and killed three prestigious institutions on Wall Street.
As a result, JPMorgan lost US$1.75 billion, Blackstone Fund lost US$1.82 billion, and Quantum Fund lost US$320 million.
It is rumored that he made a billion dollars overnight.
However, Lu Liang did not come forward to confirm, and Xiao Wang only revealed in the live broadcast that maybe there was.
Whether there is or not is a question mark.
Now it’s finally revealed.
Although the net value of the first phase of private equity was announced on the 25th, we can judge from the net value of the first phase what the approximate net value of the second phase will be, and thus infer the profit from shorting the pound that night.
The first phase is US$100 million and the second phase is US$1 billion. Multiply the income of the first phase by ten, and you can basically determine the income of the second phase.
Although there will be some deviation due to the different times of the two updates, it should not be too different.
Just after 12 noon, Wen Chao's office phone started ringing continuously.
Just as I put down the phone, the next person called again, and it lasted for half an hour.
The net value of the first phase also spread quickly.
On the 25th of last month, the net value was only 1.035. This month, it more than doubled to 2.224.
It also represented revenue of $118.9 million for the month.
Multiply this number by 11, which is US$1.3079 billion.
It has been confirmed that the one-billion-dollar fortune earned in one night was fake.
In fact, it is 1.3 billion US dollars, which is a little bit more than 100 million US dollars.
After receiving the news, most people hold on to the idea of making a fortune silently, but they can’t stand the Wall Street research institutions and also want to know how much money Lu Liang made from shorting the pound that night. money.
In the international financial arena, even if a piece of steel falls, it belongs to Wall Street. How much Lu Liang earns also represents how much they have lost.
With both coercion and inducement, some people can’t help but reveal their net worth. The net worth for the month was 2.224, with an estimated profit of US$1.3 billion.
As soon as the news came out, Wall Street was in an uproar. Several articles were updated late at night, criticizing Lu Liang and describing him as a financial executioner.
The biggest culprit behind the 12% plunge in the pound, 46 million British people should remember him because he caused the devaluation of their wealth.
The news circulated abroad and finally reached China.
"Unbelievable!"
"Financial executioner, a bit handsome~"
"I remember Lao Suo's peak record, it seems to be only 1 billion US dollars, right?"
"In addition, he spent more than 10 billion US dollars at that time to earn 1 billion US dollars."
"1.1 billion principal to earn 1.3 billion is too fierce."
"This is not a question of whether he is fierce or not. He is too cruel. He definitely used more than 10 times of leverage."
"With such a large amount of money, he dares to use such high leverage. I suggest Mr. Lu take the time to do it." Go to the hospital to see if it's heart enlargement "
"Tsk, 1.3 billion US dollars is enough to buy two bottles of Coca-Cola for everyone in the country."
Netizens commented a lot, all lamenting Lu Liang's big heart. A normal person would have had a heart attack long ago if he played like this.
We once again launched a petition for millions of people, hoping that Lu Liang would not just take the rich to play, but give him a chance to take them too.
Since going to the Internet, Lu Liang, who is happy and carefree, suddenly went online to give a reply: "I will consider it."
The netizens who were replied widened their eyes and couldn't believe that he would be Lu Liang flopped.
What surprised him even more was the meaning of this sentence. Did it mean that Lu Liang had the idea to get involved in public funds?
As soon as the news was released, it quickly topped the list of hot searches.
Not long after, even Director Zhao from the Shanghai Human Resources and Social Security Bureau called to inquire about the specific situation.
They don't dare to invest in private equity, but public equity is different. The funds must be supervised, so they don't take it into consideration.
It’s just that he heard the voice on the other side, which seemed a bit noisy: “Mr. Lu, is it inconvenient to answer the phone temporarily?”
“It should be fine now, right?” Lu Liang asked Xiao Wang to close the phone Turn off the music in the box and go to the bathroom to talk on the phone.
"Mr. Lu, are you interested in getting involved in public funds?" Director Zhao was very polite.
“I have an idea, but I’m still thinking about it.” Lu Liang said with a smile.
"Mr. Lu, if you encounter any difficulties, just speak up and we will try our best to help you and eliminate all difficulties."
"Okay, thank Director Zhao in advance."
"Then You go ahead.”
Lu Liang washed his face and walked out of the bathroom. Xiao Wang hugged the girls and played a silent card game with them.
Suddenly his cell phone rang, he picked it up, took a look at it, and said with a smile: "Your four words are really valuable."
The establishment of a public offering means that in the future, we must be steady and steady, and there will be no chance of speculation. This makes some people anxious.
"Public is public, private is private." Lu Liang laughed, he had been floating in the sky, it was time to get down and do something.
The establishment of public equity does not mean that he will give up private equity. As long as there is an opportunity for speculation, he will still strike hard.
“I’m relieved if you say that.”
Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief and was inevitably curious: "Why do you suddenly want to do a public fundraiser and play the trick of being able to help the world?"
Lu Liang picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said with a smile: "I seem to have it. Is that great?”
“Not really.” Xiao Wang is very upright.
“That’s fine.”
Lu Liang smiled and did not explain.
Public placement is only for ecological services of the new energy industry, while private placement is a cash cow.
Both, he will not give up.
"Let's go, go back to sleep."
Lu Liang said hello and was about to leave, but Xiao Wang suddenly stopped him: "Zhuang Xiaoting is planning to come over, won't you see her?"
They are coming over to play at someone else’s bar tonight, and Lu Liang is also there. She came here from home and planned to have a few drinks with them.
Lu Liang's sudden departure seemed a bit inappropriate.
"Why don't you, just say I have to leave first."
Lu Liang laughed and waved his hand not to take away a single cloud.
Tomorrow, he will go to the capital to help Douyin attract investment and try to fight back before Xigua Video is launched.
After all, he holds 40% of the shares and is considered a co-founder. If Douyin dies tragically, he will lose face.
Early the next morning,
Lu Liang took the ten o'clock flight to the capital.
Douyin has been online for 80 days, and the number of registrations has exceeded one million, with an average daily activity of 78,000 in seven days.
If there were no Sword of Damocles like Xigua Video, even if there was no Byte Douyin, it would still be a company with good market prospects.
The first round of financing was valued at US$10 million,
Among them, Lu Liang's presence should account for 50%.
After all, it is a company invested by him. No matter how bad it is, he still has to give face. Shen Peng from Sequoia, Zhu Hu from Jinshajiang, and Zhang Lei from Gao Zhen are all here.
More than a dozen domestic first- and second-tier venture capital tycoons are fighting for a financing quota of US$1.5 million. It is estimated that only Lu Liang is so famous.
Yang Zhenyuan bowed deeply and spoke impassionedly about the future development of Douyin and the goals after financing.
Zhu Hu looked at Lu Liang and asked with a smile: "Do you care about the matter? If you don't care about the matter, I will take it seriously."
What he said is true, naturally, it is aimed at capital whipping of start-up enterprises, so that they can develop vigorously.
If the expected goals are not achieved, the funds invested, including the principal and interest, will be returned to them.
After all, Byte’s Xigua Video is about to be launched, and no one is optimistic about this emerging company.
"Whatever, I don't care." Lu Liang smiled lightly, telling Lao Zhu not to give him face, but to do whatever he wanted.
He saw a familiar figure in the crowd and stepped forward quickly: "Mr. Zhang, long time no see. How are you doing lately."
Zhang Yiming smiled but said: "Thanks to Mr. Lu, my work is going well and everything goes smoothly."
"Mr. Zhang, don't be so stern. Maybe we still have a chance to cooperate."
Lu Liang smiled and said softly, Douyin and the soon-to-be-launched Xigua are two companies, but they may not be able to become one.
He was a little pessimistic about Yang Zhenyuan’s team because ByteDance’s technical lineup was too strong, so he changed his mind and planned to find an opportunity to get history back on track.
Let Douyin return to the embrace of Byte.
Naturally, he took the pork in his hands and left a layer of oil to achieve his shareholding in Byte.
Zhang Yiming was stunned, glanced at Yang Zhenyuan on the stage, squinted his eyes and asked: "Mr. Yang, do you know?"
Lu Liang smiled and asked: "Is it important?"
Zhang Yiming was silent for a long time and sighed: "It's not important."
Lu Liang holds 40% of the shares, and the investors present came to give him face. When the day came, Yang Zhenyuan's opinion was not important.
