Chapter 221: Big mouth eats everywhere
“What else can I do?”
“I can only slap my face and pretend to be fat.”
Lu Liang sighed and thought briefly Afterwards, the corners of his mouth gradually rose, and a smile appeared on his face again.
These international institutions are more rational than he imagined and are not influenced by emotions. It is a bad thing, but it is also a good thing.
It shows that they are not monolithic. The so-called glory of Wall Street is completely worthless in the face of personal interests.
Because the interests come together, it also means that as long as the goals are the same in the future, Lu Liang and them can become collaborators.
Although the tuition is expensive, it is not without rewards. At least Lu Liang does not have to regard them as imaginary enemies all the time.
It also made Lu Liang understand a truth. With his current size and reputation, he is no longer a butterfly. A large handicap is enough to drive the market, and a small handicap is enough to change the market.
In the future, you should be more cautious in your investments. You can deceive people to come in and kill them. Once or twice is okay, but three times is not.
The opening price of the Dow today is 19750.15 points. As long as it falls below 18367.65 points, the first-level circuit breaker will be triggered.
The circuit breaker incident in 1997 was too long ago. Nineteen years have passed and people can no longer remember the situation at that time.
But at the beginning of the year, A-shares experienced two circuit breakers in four days. Although the two markets are not comparable, some patterns can always be found.
Taking A as a lesson shows that the circuit breaker is only once, and countless times. The so-called cooling-off period will only make the market more panic.
In the past few decades, it has been the rabbit that has been stroking others across the river. Today, the rabbit is also being touched by others.
At 3:50 in the morning, various institutions tacitly agreed to stop short selling when the Dow Jones Industrial Average reached 18,400.
Today's trading ends in ten minutes. It is meaningless to continue to smash the market. It is better to wait and see overnight and wait for the situation tomorrow.
As institutions stopped, the entire market also stopped selling, and the stock prices of many blue-chip stocks rebounded.
Take Microsoft and Apple as examples. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1,250 points today, and the market fell more than 6.25%. However, they only fell less than 9%, and their ability to withstand pressure is quite good.
If the market goes bad tomorrow, at least if you buy blue chips now, they will not fall too hard. On the contrary, if they rebound, their rise will not be inferior to other stocks.
The bell rang at four o'clock in the morning, and the U.S. stock market ended today's trading.
Lu Liang took a look at the profit and loss. After they closed their positions, they immediately chose to invest heavily in blue chips.
At the end of the day, all blue chips with heavy positions increased, and the original loss of 115 million US dollars also turned into a loss of 82.5 million US dollars.
Among them, Tesla’s stock price has experienced the sharpest correction, falling from -12.51% to -6.55%.
It’s normal. Blue chip stocks come in different sizes. Apple and Microsoft are big blue chips. Tesla is a small blue chip at best and may not even be considered. But Lu Liang has a soft spot for new energy.
It’s just too late to take stock of tonight’s gains because the U.S. stock market is closed, but London Gold is still trading in full swing.
Since the Federal Reserve implemented the quantitative easing policy in 2008, money has become less and less valuable, and gold has been the most popular item in recent years.
Tonight, the U.S. stock market tasted the bitter consequences of the quantitative easing policy. The three main boards fell throughout the day, the Dow almost melted down, and there was uncertainty in the late trading.
This is good news for London Gold.
At 8 o'clock last night, they bought US$2.4 billion at the price of 1721, totaling more than 1.39 million lots.
As of this second, London gold has risen by US$65.5 per ounce, and the current price is US$1,786.5.
More than 1.39 million lots, with an increase of US$65.5 per lot, and the total profit reached US$91.342 million.
“Close your position.”
Lu Liang’s influence is enough to drive the market, but the underlying logic of the rise in US stocks is that the hegemony of the US dollar kidnaps the world.
Since the Cold War, the United States has always had this mentality. When it needs to spend money, it spends it. If there is no money, it prints money or issues U.S. bonds.
Anyway, people in all countries around the world recognize the US dollar. As long as the circulation of US dollars is enough, it will be enough to offset their expenses and losses over the years.
If the monopoly of US dollar hegemony is not broken for one day, the logic of the rise of US stocks will not change. All declines are technical corrections.
The U.S. stock market may not rise sharply tomorrow, but it will definitely not fall sharply. The funds that went to London Gold will also return to the embrace of U.S. stocks. I invested one billion U.S. dollars, 500 million as margin, and 500 million as operating capital. I used five times leverage and made more than 90 million.
After deducting the London gold leverage fee and the stamp duty generated by the transaction, it can almost offset tonight's loss and still make a small profit.
"Multi-line operations can indeed share risks. Big money comes steadily, but small money comes suddenly."
Lu Liang was in a good mood. He walked out of the trading room, burned incense and drank tea, moved his waist and embraced the first ray of light in the morning. Sunshine, waiting for the inventory report.
Suddenly, from the reflection of the glass, he saw what seemed to be a dark lens not far behind his head.
Outside the security gate, Chen Jinchun looked bare-faced, with dark circles under his eyes, holding a camera, and still had her aunt's smile on her face.
Seeing Lu Liang striding towards him with an unkind look on his face, she suddenly stopped laughing and waved stiffly: "Mr. Lu, good morning."
"When did you come here?" Lu Liang was confused. He remembered that he didn't see Chen Jinchun last night.
"It's about two o'clock in the morning." Chen Jinchun responded blankly and pointed to the yellow line on the ground to indicate that he had not crossed the line.
She understands the rules. The trading room is the core area. No one can cross the yellow line at the security gate without Lu Liang's consent.
Lu Liang said angrily: "I'm asking you, why did you come here so early in the morning?"
Chen Jinchun stared down at the tips of his shoes with a guilty look on his face: "Before going to bed last night, I watched When I arrived at Mr. Wang’s live broadcast, I felt like I had some material, so I came over to take a look.”
She used to be Lu Liang's assistant and spent several all-nighters with him. Although she is still an assistant now, her work focus has shifted to short videos.
She knew that Lu Liang had a habit. Whenever he finished a night's work, he would stand by the window, look into the distance, and welcome the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
A long time ago, Chen Jinchun felt that he was very handsome. Last night, he watched Xiao Wang's live broadcast and learned that Lu Liang was staying up all night again.
So she made an impromptu decision to come over and shoot some material. Although Lu Liang doesn't like being on camera now, she can't tell for sure in the future.
Otherwise, you can leave a souvenir.
"Let me see."
Lu Liang smiled and had no intention of blaming him. Being able to remember to stand outside the yellow line showed that Xiao Chen still had a sense of proportion.
Chen Jinchun called up the photos and took five pictures. One of them had the best angle. Lu Liang spread his arms as if bathing in holy light.
“Tsk, tsk, it’s a good shot. Send it to me later.” Lu Liang watched it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, and he planned to use it as a profile picture.
I accidentally pressed the camera too much, and a photo of Chen Jinchun swallowing a dragon fruit suddenly appeared.
He had a weird look on his face and spoke earnestly: "Xiao Chen, the last time I asked you to bite the lighter was just a metaphor. Can you understand?"
Lu Liang was very worried. If she really tried to bite it, she wouldn't know which muscle it was last year. There is a problem, why did you recruit such a fool?
"I know you are joking, Mr. Lu." Chen Jinchun was so ashamed that he lowered his head, wishing to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Lu Liang's eyes looked even weirder, but this was a personal hobby. Maybe she just liked to eat like this, but not necessarily. He couldn't say anything more.
Chen Jinchun stomped his feet in grievance: "Last time I promised netizens that every time the number of fans exceeds one million, I will perform my talents."
"Is this talent?" Lu Liang was shocked.
"Why not talent? Mr. Lu, I can still swallow my fist." Chen Jinchun looked indignant and left no room for doubt. He clenched his fist and was about to stuff it into his mouth.
This is her hidden talent. If it weren’t for the company’s TikTok fans, she wouldn’t have exposed it.
Lu Liang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and quickly stopped him: "I believe, you just happened to come over, so go buy some breakfast."
Thanks @我为人神@ and Weijiang Reading for the reward.
