Chapter 513 You're in trouble

On this day, Lu Yiming had nothing to do, so he called Li Yiwen and Zhao Tiezhu to inspect the headquarters of the Salt Water Fund to see if the employees below worked hard to help him make money.

As a result, as soon as I entered the office, I saw Ian Ball looking listless, with a large circle of black on his left eye and a large bruise on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Yiming immediately couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Ian, are you going to the underground boxing ring to box? When did you get hooked on this kind of sport? Don't call me, I will definitely place a heavy bet to buy you and you will win."

After being teased by Lu Yiming like this, Ian Ball replied weakly: "What boxing? I'm beaten up!"

When he mentioned this, he was still full of anger.

Just yesterday, several Texas cowboys were waiting outside the company's door early in the morning. Taking advantage of Ian Ball's time to come to work, they rushed over and punched and kicked. If someone hadn't passed by, they were going to take out their guns and scared away the cowboys, Ian Ball would probably be either lying on the hospital bed or lying in an urn.

Although Ian Ball had previously said that he wanted to hire a bodyguard, he was too busy during this period, so he did not have the energy to protect the company and chose the right bodyguard, which led to such an unforgettable disaster.

Facing Lu Yiming, Ian Ball said with dissatisfaction: "The investors of Enron Company are too savage. They don't look for Enron executives who cheated their money, but they come to use violence against me, an innocent person. In fact, what do you guys say?"

"It's outrageous."

"Yes, that's outrageous!"

Looking at Ian Ball's funny look, Lu Yiming couldn't help laughing, and then comforted him: "Thinking about the good, at least they didn't bring guns this time. I heard that Texas cowboys are full of martial ethics. Some farms even have howitzers and Gatlins. I suggest you increase security in the future."

When Ian Ball heard this, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat and said in surprise: "Not it?"

If there are really howitzers and Gatlins, it would be useless to hire a bodyguard. Buying an armored vehicle may not be able to withstand this heavy firepower!

Seeing Ian Ball's miserable appearance, Li Yiwen couldn't help but mutter in Lu Yiming's ear: "Fortunately, neither you nor me came forward in person this time, otherwise we would be the ones who were beaten."

Lu Yiming agreed and said, "Fortunately, I have a bodyguard."

Ian Ball said dissatisfiedly: "Can you two whisper so loudly? And you also speak English, are you afraid that I can't hear it..."

New York.

The trading hall of the Nasdaq Stock Exchange is full of people.

In the crowd, Wei Dong sat alone on the bench in the corner, looking up at the huge electronic display screen in the center with a dull look.

I saw a large red film on the screen, which made him frightened.

US stocks, green rises and red falls, so red is not a festive color here, but means that the stock market has turned into a sea of ​​blood.

Looking at the stocks that were almost turned into waste paper in his hand, Wei Dong was simply doubting his life and cursing wildly: "Where is the best in the United States in the world? The big bull in the US stock market can make money when a fool comes? Scammers! Scammers! They are all big liars!"

Wei Dong is almost crazy. He is not reunited with his family during the Spring Festival and has traveled thousands of miles to the United States to lose money?

And when he first came, he tried to buy a few stocks, and they all looked very good.

As a result, as soon as I entered the market, the Internet winter is coming soon?

Is there anything like this coincidence?

Conspiracy, this must be a big conspiracy!

Especially the collapse of Enron Company, such an energy giant went bankrupt if it said it went bankrupt? It also caused the entire US stock market to collapse, which was simply an obvious pig-killing battle.

Wei Dong could not accept such a cruel fact.

This is America, why does America also have a pig-killing battle?

He grabbed his hair in pain, his eyes turned red, like a gambler who was desperate to lose.

Two stock managers who were off work happened to pass by. Seeing Wei Dong's distraught look, they looked at each other and then felt deeply moved.

"Look, another crazy."

"There are many crazy people recently, and more people die. I hope God bless America."

"I think God should bless us first. Maybe it will be our turn to lose our job next month. Do you know how many fund companies have gone bankrupt this week alone?"

After saying that, both of them looked silent. The stock market fell so badly. It was the most uncomfortable for workers in the lower-level financial circle like them, and many people could not even keep their jobs.

At this time, in a luxurious manor in the suburbs of New York, several well-dressed gentlemen were playing billiards.

If Wall Street financial elites appear here, they will definitely be surprised, because the people who are playing table tennis are all famous big names in the investment circle.

Or it should be said that they are all famous.

For example, the old white-haired man standing by the side and wiping the head of the pole with chocolate powder, with fierce eyes. It was George Soros, who once caused the Asian financial crisis, who was also a famous hot money tycoon in the world financial circle.

However, he has been much lower-key in recent years. After all, he failed to fight in Xiangjiang and fell into a big fuss in the hands of the Russians. George Soros now has lost his previous attitude as a king, and has begun to live a semi-retired retirement life in advance.

The bald fat man who was kicking off was Cliff Asnesses, who was much younger than George Soros, and he was less than 34 years old this year. He was definitely a "rookie" in the circle.

But although he has a beard and a sturdy and strong appearance, he is actually a famous "academic school" in the financial circle. He studied under the Nobel Prize winner in Economics Eugene Fama, and is Eugene Fama's most proud disciple.

Cliff Asnesses has been a tycoon on Wall Street for many years. The AQR Capital Management Company he founded is considered one of the most profitable quantitative hedge funds in the world. It represents the world's highest quantitative academic level and is a top academic who relies on mathematical models to trade stocks.

The last one, younger than George Soros, but older than Cliff Asnesses, is James Chanos, the head of the future largest short hedge fund, nicknamed "Disaster Capitalist", a human-type disaster that has scared countless listed companies.

These three are all famous short sellers in the North American investment circle, and they eat people without spitting out their bones.

Just like carnivores on the prairie, they will always only hunt prey in the most fierce way.

But on Wall Street now, there are people who are more ruthless than them.

Ian Ball, the darling of the news media, and the most popular star in the financial circle in North America. He was about to go bankrupt and became a homeless man, but he relied on shorting the stock market to turn a flip. He not only joined the ranks of billionaires, but also received worship from countless financial practitioners.

But as the saying goes, if you walk together like an enemy country, if you eat more meat, I have to eat less.

There are many people in the investment circle who don’t like Ian Ball.

After Cliff Asnesses scored three shots, he suddenly asked, "What do you think about Ian Ball?"

James Chanos entered the hole with one shot, but said unhappily: "The little fish that emerged from somewhere actually took the lead and intercepted the prey that should belong to me."

In the original history, James Chanos was the one who shorted it. In fact, he had already set his sights on this fat piece, but before he could take action, Ian Ball took the lead.

He spent several years investing millions of dollars in order to investigate the internal information of Enron Group.

What's the result?

Now it's all gone!

Cliff Asnesses couldn't help but mocked him: "You should have done it long ago, and you're hesitant and hesitant to look back and forth, are you stupid now?"

James Chanos immediately retorted and sneered: "How much better are you than me? The big heads who were shorting technology stocks have now fallen into the pockets of the people behind Salt Water Fund. The losses of AQR Capital Management are no less than mine. Do the investors behind you have no objection?"

They are all big shorts, all cruel people who drink blood and eat meat. Naturally, they don’t like each other and neither accepts each other.

However, George Soros, who fell from the altar, has cultivated himself in recent years and has not had the temper as bad as before. He spoke to stop the quarrel between the two.

"Now is not the time for internal strife. No matter how many conflicts we had before, we now have common enemies. Can you use your anger and energy to unite with external forces?"

After all, he is the big brother. Even though he is not as popular as before, George Soros's words are still a bit important.

James Chanos thought about it and suggested: "If you can report it to the Ministry of Justice, I don't believe that the Saltwater Fund has no problem at all."

Although Cliff Asnesses disliked James Chanos, he also recognized his idea.

On the contrary, George Soros asked coldly: "It's okay to ask the hyena to investigate, but the problem is, do you know who to investigate?"

Cliff Asnesses was puzzled: "Who else can be investigated besides Ian Ball? You can't let the Ministry of Justice investigate the big guy behind him, right? If the sky is broken, we can't hold it."

When people are in America, they naturally know who can offend to death and who can't touch their tiger's butt.

What party leader, president... Maybe after checking, you will find such people. How will it end? Will all the insiders be raided?

George Soros didn't say much, but threw out a few photos. It was exactly the scene where Ian Ball and Lu Yiming met and talked at the Saltwater Fund. From the shooting perspective, it can be seen that they were secretly taken at a very close distance, and the techniques were extremely unprofessional.

Needless to ask, this must be a photo taken by a saltwater fund employee who bought by George Soros.

James Chanos and Cliff Asnesses were puzzled after watching it.

Among them, James Chanos picked up the photo, looked left and right, and asked in confusion: "A Asian? Who is he?"

George Soros hated Lu Yiming to the core.

After all, in addition to being snatched from the business by Lu Yiming this time, when he shorted Xiangjiang two years ago, Lu Yiming took a lot of money away from him.

"He is Lu Yiming. I started paying attention to him when I was in Xiangjiang two years ago. He was the one who made a big profit by investing in VA Linux some time ago. They have a "Hurun Rich List". This kid is known as the youngest billionaire in mainland Xiaguo and ranks first on this Rich List.

James Chanos and Cliff Asnesses immediately remembered.

After all, the VA Linux thing has just passed.

"He is the lucky boy who is favored by the goddess of luck?"

By investing in Linux companies, Lu Yiming's reputation is still very well-known in the North American financial circle.

Even if I don’t know him, most of them have heard of his reputation.

But many Wall Street bosses just regard him as an oriental boy who has lost his luck, and actually don’t pay much attention to it in their hearts.

Only George Soros, who had fought with Lu Yiming in Xiangjiang, knew his power well, immediately snorted and said, "He is not a lucky boy from the East, but a fierce young lion, a real carnivorous beast. Anyone who despises him will pay the price."

But the two didn't believe it, especially Cliff Asnesses, who came from the academy, thought George Soros's statement was very absurd, and immediately said contemptuously: "In the economics desert of Xia Kingdom, can such financial genius be cultivated?"

George Soros shook his head and sighed: "I know you don't believe it, but that's the case. I suffered a big loss from him when I was in Xiangjiang."
