The Samsung Galaxy S1 fire, as the first Android mobile phone in this life, is not very expensive, and naturally it quickly swept the world. The biggest problem with the Nokia S1 is the lack of third-party software support. In addition, coupled with the high price of Nokia S1, it is naturally prohibitive.
After half a month, Xiaomi Mi 1 was officially released. The Xiaomi mobile phone is beautiful in appearance and has sufficient performance, but the price is extremely low. It only costs $299, which is $200 cheaper than the Samsung Galaxy S1.
After the Samsung Galaxy S1, the Xiaomi Mi Phone 1 quickly swept the world as soon as it was released. Since then, smartphones have gone from expensive electronic products to the general public!
The Xiaomi mobile phone of this generation has a high starting point from the very beginning. It is not only sold in China, but also sold through sales channels all over the world, and it has achieved an astonishing sales volume of 5 million within a week!
For a time, it was in short supply! ! !
Xiaomi and Lei Jun became famous in China and gained a lot of fans.
Previously, although Lei Jun served as the CEO of Kingsoft, not many people actually knew him.
But now, China's Xiaomi mobile phone has become famous abroad. Chinese media news and the Internet are reporting on Xiaomi mobile phone, saying that Xiaomi mobile phone is the best mobile phone in China, and the name of Lei Jun is also known to everyone.
The Shenzhen government also designated Lei Jun as the top ten most outstanding CEOs in Shenzhen this year.
"Happy Camp" also sent an invitation letter to Lei Jun.
The "Job Come to Work" column invites Xiaomi to send company executives to participate in the show, preferably Lei Jun can go.
Lei Jun was in high spirits, and he felt very proud wherever he went.
With the success of Xiaomi mobile phones, more mobile phone manufacturers will emerge in China, such as Huawei, vivo, oppo, etc., not much to say.
At this moment, all mobile phone manufacturers in the world can't help but be surprised. Samsung Galaxy S1 can be so popular. People can understand it. After all, Samsung has been making mobile phones for many years, and its brand influence is there. But Xiaomi mobile phone is a completely new brand, but because it uses the Android operating system and the price is low, it sells even better than the Samsung Galaxy S1!
What does this mean? Description Android Phone Niu X…
Needless to say, the Saipan alliance has collapsed and exists in name only. All mobile phone manufacturers have embraced the Android operating system. As for the Saipan system, let Nokia play by itself.
Li Zetian was very proud for a while. The three best-selling mobile phone brands are all his own, haha, happy!
Li Zetian couldn't help but think to himself, if Google were to develop mobile phones, maybe the four major mobile phone manufacturers in the world would own it. However, after Google and Microsoft merged, Li Zetian gave up the idea of letting Google develop mobile phones and focused on software development instead!
By June 1, 2006, the Xiaomi phone 1 had sold a total of 25.5 million units, the Samsung Galaxy S1 had sold a total of 18.4 million units, and Apple's iPhone 1 had sold a total of 67.5 million units.
After the Samsung Group was acquired by Li Zetian, it has been developing well. Especially this year, the Samsung Galaxy S1 has sold well and its performance has performed well. The market value of its subsidiary Samsung Electronics alone is as high as 110 billion US dollars!
Xiaomi, which was only established last year, has been valued by a professional Wall Street appraisal agency at more than $10 billion.
And Apple's market value has reached as high as 500 billion US dollars!
While people were astonished, they also had to sigh that Li Zetian was awesome.
Seeing that Android is the general trend, Li Zetian put down the stone in his heart. If Nokia insists on clinging to the Symbian system, it may be even worse than the previous life.
In his spare time, Li Zetian still focuses his energy on developing electric vehicles and unmanned vehicles.
However, as we all know, it is now 2006, and the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States is coming, which will bring disaster to the whole world. Li Zetian also needs to prepare, to be precise, to make a big profit! ! !
The financial crisis triggered by the subprime mortgage crisis was the most serious financial crisis since the Great Depression in the 1930s. The subprime mortgage crisis that originated in the United States has spread to the whole world. The global financial system has been greatly affected, and the crisis has hit the real economy very seriously.
Subprime loans, also known as subprime mortgages, are loans made by some lenders to borrowers with poor credit and low incomes. When the U.S. housing market was highly prosperous in the past few years, the subprime mortgage market developed rapidly, and even some borrowers who were usually considered incapable of repayment also obtained home purchase loans, which was the basis for the subsequent subprime mortgage market crisis. the formation of hidden dangers.
The bank holds a loan contract in its hand, and the loan contract cannot flow, that is, it cannot be easily traded. But who is the banker, and he has to find ways to make money. As a result, the banks packaged and packaged these subprime loans to generate mortgage-backed bond MBS, and then divided the high-risk MBS according to the risk level into "debt guarantee certificate CDO", and finally sold the CDO to investors. .
U.S. real estate has been on the rise, so financial derivatives like CDOs are so popular, even to the point of madness!
Frankly speaking, even the bank under Li Zetian's name was involved and made a lot of money...
There is no way, if you have money, you are a bastard.
However, Li Zetian knew enough was enough, as the next mortgage crisis was approaching, and he had to quickly transfer these businesses to other banks or investors.
Dongfang Yuqin belongs to finance, and Li Zetian asked Dongfang Yuqin to handle it every time he encountered a financial crisis before. This time is no exception.
At night, Li Zetian invited Dongfang Yuqin to his study to discuss these matters.
At first, when Dongfang Yuqin heard that Li Zetian said that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States was about to break out, she couldn't keep her mouth shut, and her face was full of disbelief, but with Li Zetian's proof and speculation, Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but believe it a bit.
One night, when the two were discussing the subprime mortgage crisis, Li Zetian said: "Everyone is optimistic about the 'debt collateralized certificate CDO', we bet it will fall!"
Dongfang Yuqin wondered, "How to gamble?"
"Bring in the insurance companies and let them develop a special product 'Credit Default Swaps CDS', that is: if the price of CDO continues to rise, the short seller will pay the insurance company a monthly sum, and if it falls, the insurance company will lose money!"
When Dongfang Yuqin heard the words, she couldn't help being taken aback, she was silent for a while, and asked, "Are you sure there will be a subprime mortgage crisis?"
"I'm sure, I believe my judgment!" Li Zetian said very confidently.
"Okay, then I'll make arrangements!" Dongfang Yuqin nodded.
Li Zetian said: "Well, but don't worry, it may take a year before the subprime mortgage crisis breaks out, so the initial investment is a little less, mainly to let insurance companies swap this 'mortgage credit default swap CDS' product Do it, wait until next year, we will spend a lot of money to make a big short!!!"
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and nodded: "I understand."
"Also, try not to expose that we are short."
Dongfang Yuqin rolled her eyes at Li Zetian and said, "Of course I know this, low-key is king!"
"Well, okay, you go to rest first, I have to read some documents." Li Zetian kissed Dongfang Yuqin's forehead and said.
"Don't look too late."
"Um."
…
A week later, AIA came in with a client. This client came up with an odd idea.
"I want to short CDOs, does your insurance company have this business?" he began.
When the manager of the insurance company heard this, he looked at the other party in astonishment. After a while, he asked, "Sir, are you joking?"
"I'm very serious, absolutely no joke!" The client shook his head and said in a serious tone.
The insurance company manager was stunned for a while, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, our insurance company doesn't have this product."
After finishing speaking, the manager persuaded: "Sir, the real estate in the United States is very good now, and the debt guarantee certificate (CDO) is soaring. If you want to short the debt guarantee certificate (CDO), won't you lose money? Therefore, I advise you to invest in the purchase of debt guarantees. Credentials (CDO).”
The client shook his head and immediately asked: "Can your company develop a product specifically for this purpose, such as mortgage credit default swaps (CDS), if the price of debt guarantee certificates (CDO) continues to rise, I will give the insurance company a monthly payment, If it falls, the insurance company will lose money!”
When the manager heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he thought, is this idiot here to give money
"Sir, hello, I know what you think. Well, you go back today, and I will report your idea to the company's top management. After they have discussed it, I will reply to you, okay?"
"OK."
The manager sent the strange client out the door.
"Oh, sir, allow me to take the liberty to ask, if our insurance company developed a mortgage credit default swap (CDS) product, how much would you plan to buy?"
"A few million dollars, maybe more..."
Hearing this, the manager's heart skipped a beat, "Oh, God, so much!" ! !
After seeing off the guests, the manager couldn't hold back his excitement and hurriedly reported the matter to the CEO.
The CEO of AIA, first of all, didn't believe it, "Oh, Tom, is this person crazy and his head is caught in the door?! Or is he deliberately joking with us?"
"Mr. Sandy, this client is the director of a small investment firm with hundreds of millions of dollars, and his tone doesn't sound like a joke. Maybe he really doesn't like CDOs..."
"The US real estate market is good, how could CDO fall?!! Haha, if he really wants to short CDO, that's our chance to make a fortune!!!" The CEO of AIA couldn't help laughing.
However, he said that the strange guest who came to the AIA just now appeared in another insurance company at this time, and told the manager of this insurance company with almost the same words, and the other party was also surprised and shocked...
Soon, insurer circles knew that someone wanted to short CDOs.
"This man is Mitch Veblen, a manager of an offshore investment firm."
"Haha, I have never seen such a stupid person!"
"Haha, send us money, if you don't make it, you won't make it for nothing!"
"… "
Insurance companies are all laughing at the Mitch Veblen behind their backs.
Soon, banks, securities companies, and investors also knew that because the real estate industry in the United States was too good, no one had shorted CDOs, but their reactions, without exception, were ridicule.
Los Angeles, Beverly Hills.
Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said to Li Zetian: "The plan is about to succeed. Insurance companies have agreed to develop mortgage credit default swaps (CDS), thinking we are stupid."
Li Zetian said nonchalantly: "Who is stupid? Let's buy CDS products worth 10 to 20 million US dollars first, let them taste the sweetness first, and next year, we will buy CDS in large quantities one after another, and let these insurance companies lose money. Bankruptcy!!!"
Hearing this, Dongfang Yuqin and Li Zetian looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Killing people, not paying for it!
So, in September, Mitch Veblen purchased mortgage credit default swaps (CDS) from 13 insurance companies in the United States, worth a total of $25 million.
The incident passed quickly without making too many waves. The U.S. housing market is still good, and Mitch Veblen has just become a joke in financial circles.
At this time, Dongfang Yuqin has become a very busy person. In order to make a big profit in the subprime mortgage crisis, reducing its own losses is also a top priority. Not only the company has to prepare, but also a lot of investment. Cash out as soon as possible, or you will lose money.
In the hustle and bustle, before you know it, it's time for Apple to release a new product.
October 24, Apple released two products, iPhone2 and tablet iPad.
The iPhone 2 became a 4-inch display, with a better camera, a more powerful A2 processor, more storage, and was thinner, lighter, and had a nicer aluminum finish. Although the design difference between the iPhone 2 and the iPhone 1 is not very big, once it was released, it was very popular.
But to be honest, there is no black technology at the moment, and no matter how the iPhone is designed, it is impossible to make much change. Li Zetian has a Tim Cook who understands his past life.
The tablet computer iPad is between the iPhone and the MacBook, and many people complain that the iPad is an enlarged version of the iPhone. Well, that's true, but iPads are selling like hot cakes, what can you do
As in previous years, after the official launch of the iPhone 2 and iPad, there were a lot of people queuing in front of the Apple flagship store. For these, Li Zetian is used to it.
With the subprime mortgage crisis getting closer, Li Zetian put everything else down. He is now a ferocious wolf, and his deep, glowing eyes have been staring at the prey of the American subprime mortgage.
During the subprime mortgage crisis, I don't know how many companies went bankrupt. This is a great opportunity for Li Zetian to strengthen his own strength!
It is hard to imagine how much profit Li Zetian will make by shorting US real estate and the stock market with his current strength? After the subprime mortgage crisis, Li Zetian's wealth is probably so much that even the US government will feel trembling and want to kill him...
