Come to some appetizers
"Hey, after eating all this, I still think the boss's 'China on the Tip of the Tongue' is delicious!" Soros drank the last sip of red wine in his glass.
Abby Cohen also had a greedy look on her face. To be honest, since the opening of Lin Feng's 'A Bite of China', almost all the celebrities and dignitaries in New York have become regular customers. Everyone has really realized that.
Chinese food, knowing the real food of China, is the best food in the world.
French meals have always been considered world cuisine, but French meals always taste the same, with nothing more than lobster, oysters, steaks, champagne, etc. And French meals generally only have thirteen courses: Chapter 1
One dish, frozen appetizer; second dish, soup; third dish, hot appetizer; fourth dish, fish; fifth course, main dish (according to tonight's theme); sixth dish, hot dish;
The seventh course is cold cuts; the eighth course is sorbet; the ninth course is barbecue and salad; the tenth course is vegetables; the eleventh course is dessert; the twelfth course is savory snacks; the thirteenth course is dessert
.
This adds up to only these 13 dishes. No matter how many varieties there are, these are the only ones that can't produce more variety. But looking at Chinese feasts, Lin Feng has the most famous 'Manchu-Han Banquet', which requires reservation.
Food, and it has to be purchased in a group. Yes, it is a group purchase. You must purchase it in a group to enjoy it.
Group buying, this is such a distant term for these celebrities and powerful people. Group buying, when have they ever done group buying? Don’t they always pay for whatever they want to buy? If they can’t buy it at the original price, they can buy it at an increased price! As long as they like it.
, money is not a problem!
Therefore, when the "Manchu-Han banquet" came out, the rich and famous people directly asked for a meal. But they were refused because, first, the price was too high and unaffordable.
The Manchu-Han banquet is mainly composed of Northeastern, Shandong-Dong, Northern-Beijing, Jiangsu-Zhejiang cuisine. There are 54 southern dishes in total: 30 Jiangsu-Zhejiang dishes, 12 Fujian dishes, 12 Guangdong-Eastern dishes, and 54 northern dishes: Manchu
There are 12 dishes, 12 Beijing dishes, and 30 Shandong dishes, a total of 108 dishes! And in 'A Bite of China', these 108 dishes totaled 10.8 million US dollars!
This price is astonishing. Most celebrities and powerful people cannot afford it. Moreover, even if you are rich, such as the Arab oil sheikhs, for them, spending 10.8 million US dollars for a feast is not unaffordable. But I'm sorry.
, not for sale!
Because you can’t finish it! There are 108 dishes that can’t be finished by one person! So, you have to buy in a group! Last time, ‘A Bite of China’ launched the ‘Manchu-Han Banquet’, and both Soros and Abby Cohen were lucky enough to buy in a group
Once, the taste still reminds them endlessly.
"Now that we have an appetizer for this French feast, when will we start having a full banquet?" Abby Cohen pointed out.
For this sniper plan, Soros was the main focus, and Abby Cohen only provided assistance and overall advice at critical moments. But everything was centered on Soros.
"We can't even talk about having a full banquet now. We've finished the appetizers. Let's have some soup!" Soros chuckled.
"Everyone, short 100 lots of Nasdaq!" Soros ordered.
Everyone? Where did everyone come from? When Wall Street was short selling Lam Fung's "Second World", Lam Feng counterattacked, which eventually led to the bankruptcy of tens of thousands of Wall Street stockbrokers. Later, Lam Feng came to the rescue and helped
Thirty thousand people were saved from bankruptcy. After that, an agreement was signed with the thirty thousand people, and within ten years, they would belong to Lin Feng.
From these 30,000 people, Soros selected 3,000 elite soldiers and generals.
As the saying goes, one hundred and two Qin passes will eventually belong to Chu, and three thousand Yue armor can swallow up Wu. Soros will use these three thousand carefully selected soldiers and generals to swallow up the world!
Sell again! Abby Cohen’s brows moved slightly.
To determine whether a market is sensitive, it depends on whether it can withstand some sudden blows. If market confidence is strong enough, then this kind of short selling is just a small disturbance.
Three thousand stockbrokers, each with 100 lots, only added up to 300,000 short-selling lots. Under normal circumstances, this would not cause any disturbance to Nasdaq at all.
And if the market is sensitive, then a small ripple will cause an uproar. When these 300,000 hands are sold, the originally calm market explodes in an instant, just like adding a drop of water to the oil pan.
"It's fallen! Someone is shorting the Nasdaq! Could it be that those technology companies lent money to Madoff and were deceived?" There was an uproar in the Wall Street stock market.
The Nasdaq stock index fell by dozens of points in an instant. Although its momentum was not as fierce as before, the market was full of people at the moment. These stock brokers had been inquiring about Madoff and wanted to know.
How much money has been stolen from it, and how many companies are involved in it?
However, Madoff was closely monitored by the bullies and no outsiders were allowed to contact him. In this case, they had no way of knowing. Although, they also wanted to explore in a roundabout way and use Mark Madoff to find out what happened to Madoff.
How many people have been harmed. But what is helpless is that Mark Madoff is a dandy, and he doesn't know anything about his father.
As for whether Mark Madoff is pretending to be stupid, this is really not the case. With this guy’s past reputation and the title of playboy, he is really better than anyone else. Moreover, in the past twenty years,
He has never shown any talent in finance. If Madoff were willing to tell him about the 'Ponzi scheme' to such a person, then Madoff would be really dizzy.
Therefore, everyone let Mark Madoff go. Naturally, they did not get any news. This made everyone confused. Originally, you said you should sell all the stocks in your hands. This, in case of a big disaster
Has it risen? If the Madoff news is not true, then the stock market will inevitably usher in a retaliatory rebound. Moreover, the momentum is so good now. If you miss this opportunity and don't trade in stocks, you will suffer too much loss.
But, what if it is true? You said, wouldn’t this cost people’s lives? So, everyone is suspicious here, and everyone is in disbelief. Now, as soon as Soros made a move, the entire market was in panic.
"Should I sell it now or not?" Everyone was discussing among themselves.
Among them, there are those who insist on being optimistic, believing that the market is here and it is impossible to collapse, and this is obviously short-term speculation. As long as nothing happens to Madoff, then there will be no problem. At present, there is no such thing in the market.
People went to trouble Madoff and came out publicly claiming that Madoff had defrauded him of his money.
No! Not one!
This situation shows that Madoff's Ponzi scheme, even if it is true, may have limited influence. Naturally, some people are bullish and think that the stock market can withstand such ups and downs. Moreover, often after this kind of news passes,
, what ushered in was the bright sun.
Of course, some people are bullish, and naturally some are bearish. They think that the market is likely to be doomed under this situation. However, such people are still in the minority at present. After all, the stock market has been booming for so long. And in the United States,
Unless there is a stock market crash, the stock market will follow the economic growth and have a bull market for more than ten or even twenty years. It will not be like China, where the bull market and the bear market go back and forth.
This kind of bull market and bear market are so distinct, generally speaking, it means one thing, that is, the stock market is controlled by people and subject to policy intervention. Otherwise, it would not fluctuate so easily.
"Continue to sell 100 lots!" Soros calmly ordered.
At this moment, the market is in panic, so let this panic become more violent. He wants to find out what the financial companies in the United States are going to do. What is their attitude!
Another 300,000 lots of short selling. This one, under the 100x leverage rule, requires US$2,830 in funds. Three hundred thousand lots, that’s US$849 million!
There were two short sales before and after, with a total of 600,000 lots, or 1.698 billion U.S. dollars. However, due to the 100 times leverage, there were almost 169.8 billion U.S. dollars of short selling in the market.
Instantly, the market became panicked. At first, everyone was hesitant, but looking at the momentum, it seemed that the other party was attacking again after lunch. And this time, it was not like targeting the three major U.S. stock indexes before, but alone.
For Nasdaq, the market panic caused by this directly triggered a strong market reaction.
Nasdaq, before, fell from 2830 points to 2700 points, and now it has fallen directly to 100 points, 100 points. Because everyone suspects that Madoff cheated the money of listed companies in Nasdaq. Nasdaq
Most of Stark's companies are high-tech companies. These companies make money quickly and can easily create millionaires, multi-millionaires, and billionaires. And these people make money too quickly. Maybe they are Madoff's patrons!
Driven by this idea, the Nasdaq index fell crazily. In a short period of time, it fell to the 2,400-point level. If it falls further, it will be 500 points again.
"Someone must be maliciously sniping at the stock index and using Madoff's incident to maliciously snipe at the stock market. We must stabilize the market, otherwise everyone will be doomed!" JPMorgan Chase Bank President Jamie Dimon said with a frown.
"Continue to spread rumors, claiming that Madoff's involvement may not be large, only tens of billions of dollars!" Rockefeller Bank declared.
Soon, it was spread on the market that according to the fake claims, Madoff's Ponzi scheme may not have a trillion-dollar fraud, but only tens of billions of dollars. Just now, the trillion-dollar report was said to come from a Japanese media
The report uses Japanese yen as the unit, which is trillions of yen, not US dollars!
After this news came out, the market obviously picked up a bit.
Chapter completed!
