It may be an accident to start shorting, but later on, many institutions will follow suit. For capital, it doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. As long as it can make money, it will definitely rush in.
Even institutions that suffered losses due to the decline in the stock market need to take advantage of this opportunity to short-sell, so that they can make up for their own companies.
It is precisely because of this understanding that as long as Sunflower Investment Company allows these institutions, especially large institutional investors, to suffer significant losses, they will have to come in and follow the short-selling, rather than helping to do the long-selling.
It’s just that at this time, there are too many short-selling institutions, but not many long-selling people, and there are very few opportunities to conclude trading contracts. In fact, you can’t make much money in the futures and bond markets. Instead, Sunflower Investment, which had been short selling before, The company makes more money.
In this case, institutional investors who are eager to make a profit can only continue to short the stock market. Not only does this not continue to suppress the stock market, but it allows Sunflower Investment Company to buy the bottom with peace of mind.
In fact, what he wants to acquire most are those media companies. However, even if there is a stock market crash, it is basically impossible to reach the level of holding a shareholding. The equity held by these major media companies is basically more than 50%.
Therefore, he has never thought that this can be achieved through the circulating stocks of the stock market. This is the fundamental reason why he does not pay much attention to foreign traditional media, because he knows that it is difficult for him to get involved.
This is not a problem with his skin color. This problem is actually very easy to solve. You can just find an agent directly, or even let Sunflower Investment Company take control directly.
If the shareholding ratio of a single shareholder is too high, it will be difficult to achieve the goal simply by relying on capital strength. In this case, it is better to operate the existing media resources with peace of mind.
This is also the reason why ATV values so much, and even does not hesitate to provide many unique technologies to ATV to help it quickly open up the international market and allow as many viewers as possible to watch ATV's programs without any barriers.
Except for media companies, he doesn't pay much attention to other companies. Traditional public basic service companies have low profit margins and limited room for appreciation.
Those high-tech companies seem to have a lot of room for appreciation, but it also depends on whether he agrees. If he really insists on suppressing them, no matter what high-tech companies they are, they will eventually have to stop.
Therefore, he did not give any instructions at all about Sunflower Investment Company's bargain-hunting behavior, and allowed them to act according to their own judgment. No matter what, they would make money in the end.
After the flash crash of the U.S. stock market, Sunflower Investment Co., Ltd. did not dare to hunt for the bottom on a large scale in order to ensure the smooth delivery of its futures contracts and bond contracts. It was cautious.
Because the financial institutions of Yingjiang faced huge losses in both futures contracts and bond contracts this time, many institutions not only did not have a large amount of funds to rescue the market, but instead went short themselves.
Therefore, the rescue plans formulated by the Federal Reserve at the beginning were not very effective. Although they promised well in words, they were quite slow in taking action.
This caused more capital to smell the smell of blood and invest more capital in short selling, resulting in more and more short selling capital. At this time, Sunflower Investment Company's futures contracts and other related short selling contracts expired, and they gained huge profits. of capital is recorded.
They originally had a large amount of capital in their hands, and with the funds gained from short selling, their strength has grown unprecedentedly, giving them more confidence to buy at the bottom and have the idea of a short squeeze.
So after that, Sunflower Investment Company was no longer as secretive as before when buying stocks, but instead entered with large sums of money in a big way, because they calculated that the funds in their hands were enough to cause heavy damage to short-selling institutions.
Institutions that originally wanted to make money by shorting in the stock market were gradually defeated by Sunflower Investment Company's long-selling behavior. No matter how many stocks they sold, Sunflower Investment Company took over.
Sometimes, in order to prevent the other party from giving up short selling, one has to show a trace of fatigue and make the other party think that the long side of the market is just a bluff. After all, the size of the U.S. stock market is not small, and not all funds can support it.
But things often don't go as they wish. Although there are occasional intraday adjustments, and it seems that they are in sight of victory, the stock price still rises slowly after a while.
Seeing this situation, the Federal Reserve, which was originally relatively anxious, became less anxious. The short-selling institutions were actually easy to investigate, but the long side did not know who it was.
Because Sunflower Investment Company did not use the name of its own company to do this at all, but operated through the massive accounts it had previously controlled, it felt like the long side represented tens of millions of retail investors.
In the past, those short-selling institutions thought that their opponents were retail investors, so they came in to short-sell without hesitation. However, after coming in, they found that this was not the case at all. It felt like these retail investors had countless funds to support them.
This is a rare short-squeeze phenomenon by retail investors in the history of the U.S. stock market, which has made short-selling institutions increasingly embarrassed. However, no matter what they do, the overall stock price not only does not fall, but is still rising slowly.
When the stock market rose to 85% of its original level, it seemed to be a signal. Many investment institutions that had been waiting and watching immediately joined the long camp, and the financial strength of the long party became stronger.
Seeing more and more funds pouring into the long side, these short-selling institutions had to turn around and join the long side in order to avoid further losses.
Although the U.S. stock market did not return to its original price, the long-short battle that lasted for half a month brought the stock market back to 90% of its original level, and it has been fluctuating back and forth at this level ever since.
The short-seller side has Sunflower Investment Company as a backstop, which has greatly increased their confidence. Although it is difficult to bring the overall stock market back to the past, there is still a lot of room for manipulation in individual stocks.
It’s just that Sunflower Investment Company stopped participating later. Although this may force short sellers, it actually doesn’t make much sense for an investment institution of their size.
Moreover, the U.S. stock market has continued to spin for so long, and its impact on other stock markets has also been huge. The declines are generally greater than in previous generations. In these markets, Sunflower Investment Company has also made a lot of arrangements.
Therefore, the plunge in U.S. stocks lasted longer than in previous lives, which in disguise also helped Sunflower Investment Company's operations in other stock markets, and the gains were equally substantial.
After this bargain hunting, Sunflower Investment Company basically kept it in its own hands and had no plans to sell it in the short term, because after selling it, there would be no other good investment projects.
The global stock market has just experienced a disaster. Although it has rebounded slightly, there is still a lot of room for growth in the future. Holding it in your hand is a safe investment method.
After this global stock market crash, Sunflower Investment Company has become more mature than before, because through this global multi-front battle and coordinated operations, their internal cooperation has become more tacit than before.
In particular, their intelligent investment and trading system, which was only used for automatic investment in the past, played a major role this time. Otherwise, with the size of Sunflower Investment Company's personnel, it would never be able to control hundreds of thousands of global accounts in real time.
It is precisely because there are so many accounts that can be manipulated that Sunflower Investment Company dares to carry out such a grand plan. Otherwise, it will be easily found out.
There are hundreds of thousands of account operations, and each account operation is not completely consistent. It is almost impossible to find out who is behind it. This is also the multi-account operation model used by Sunflower Investment Company for so many years.
However, I have never operated so many accounts at once before. This is the first time. It is precisely because of this that the internal traders of Sunflower Investment Company can truly see the power of the intelligent investment and trading system.
After this incident, they actually made a net profit of US$200 billion, of which about US$100 billion was earned through the index futures and bond markets, and nearly half of the other profit was made through OTC betting.
In addition, they also have an immeasurable number of huge stocks in their hands. These are not included in the income for the time being, but it is certain that this part of the income will bring a lot of income to Sunflower Investment Company in the future.
In the previous stock market crash, the global stock market market value loss reached more than 1.79 trillion US dollars. This time the losses were even greater, with the global stock market market value loss reaching 2 trillion US dollars.
And this is just a loss in market value. In fact, the real loss is not that big. Otherwise, how could the Sunflower Investment Company, which has been established for a long time, only make such a small amount of money, and rely on over-the-counter gambling to make so much.
What is certain is that it will take a long time for the global stock market to recover after what Sunflower Investment Company has done, but this has little to do with Sunflower Investment Company.
With so much cash suddenly in their hands, they naturally need to flow to the next big money-making project, and they are currently optimistic about Japan, so a large part of this capital will flow to Japan, continuing to push up the Japanese stock market and real estate market.
The other part is focused on investing in countries such as Southeast Asia. They have already invested a lot in these places before, but this time they continue to be optimistic about the economy of Southeast Asia and other countries.
The rest will be invested in bulk futures commodity trading markets, because these markets are large enough to accommodate large amounts of funds, and at the same time, they also have certain trading capabilities based on their capital scale.
Although this operation was just like that in Zhao Yi's opinion, and the work was still a bit rough, it was a rare victory for Sunflower Investment Company in recent years.
Sunflower Investment Company does not have Zhao Yi's "skill". It can anticipate the enemy's opportunities every time it operates, and silently make money. At that time, the global stock market was not so big, and there were 100 billion every year. About US dollars were received.
But later he "washed his hands" and stopped doing these things, which led to a sharp decline in Sunflower Investment Company's earnings. It only earns about 20 to 30 billion U.S. dollars in global stock markets every year, which is already a very good result. .
Until Zhao Yi launched an intelligent investment and trading system for them, with the help of artificial intelligence and perfect data analysis capabilities, the level of investment profitability has increased significantly, and the annual investment income has reached about 50 billion US dollars.
Compared with the bold actions of Sunflower Investment Company, Ping An Insurance Company and its domestic investment companies must be much more cautious. First, they have rarely seen such a big scene. Second, their goals are too obvious and they are not suitable for it. This kind of work.
Anyway, there is Sunflower Investment Company operating in front of them. They only need to follow behind and harvest silently. It doesn't matter if they make less, at least they don't let them become the scapegoats.
Originally, the stock market rose very fast in 1987, and they followed the pace of the stock market's rise. Although it was not at the highest price, they made a lot of money just by selling the stocks in their hands, and they avoided suffered a loss.
Later, they also participated in the operation of shorting stock indexes and futures. Although the scale was small, they made a lot of money. More importantly, they were the first to enter the stock market to hunt for the bottom.
Companies like Ping An Insurance Company, even if they know that there is a stock market crash and can make a lot of money, they will not use leverage because the risk is very high. If something goes wrong, it will be very tragic, and the losses will even be borne by them. Not worth it.
Therefore, although they have a lot of funds in their hands, the funds they earn are still far behind their investment. However, their principal is also very large, and they actually earn not a lot.
Their own capital is as high as nearly 100 billion US dollars, which they earned through commissions from selling global critical illness insurance in the past two years. The rest is earned through financial operations and domestic general insurance business.
In addition, there are domestic welfare funds. Although most of them have been distributed, the scale of funds left in their hands is still very considerable, and the scale of funds is larger than the principal invested by Sunflower Investment Company.
Therefore, after this operation, the number of stocks in hand is more than before, but the net profit is still as high as 50 billion U.S. dollars, and the total income exceeds 100 billion U.S. dollars.
Different from the prudent investment of Ping An Insurance Company, investment companies are much bolder. They don't have much principal in their hands. If they don't use leverage, they basically won't make much money.
In addition, they are actually not afraid of going bankrupt. Firstly, the loss from bankruptcy is not that big. Secondly, there are big bosses behind them. This is their confidence to do so.
Although they may not earn as much money as Ping An Insurance Company, their profitability is very high. They have more than doubled their own funds. Several investment companies have made more than 20 billion U.S. dollars in total.
Through this stock market crash, several companies under Zhao Yi can be said to have severely scraped a layer of meat from the global financial market, making several companies under Zhao Yi feel smooth.
However, not many of these funds have come into his hands. For example, Sunflower Investment Company rarely interacts with him directly, and capital transactions are basically completely interrupted.
Mainly for the sake of confidentiality. After all, there are many international financial transactions. Although there are many accounts and it may be difficult to specifically query a certain account, it is easy to see the overall flow of funds. After all, these need to be carried out through other people's systems.
Domestic development requires very little capital for them, and they are not physical enterprises. If large-scale funds enter the country, it is actually more likely to cause inflation, and there is not much benefit.
Normal economic development basically requires the correspondence between currency and commodities. There must be a balance between the two. Excessive money supply and insufficient commodities will inevitably lead to an increase in commodity prices.
Therefore, the entry of physical foreign-funded enterprises into the country has some effect on domestic economic development, but the large-scale entry of financial capital into the country can drive up domestic asset prices in a short period of time, which does not bring tangible benefits to people's lives.
Zhao Yi is actually very relieved about this huge free asset. At least so far, it has not escaped his control. All his orders have been well executed, and they are also thoroughly implementing his strategic intentions.
The employees within Sunflower Investment Company are very loyal. Over the years, there has been basically no voluntary resignation or betrayal of company secrets.
As for the reasons, in addition to the fact that the salary package is very generous on the surface, it is easy to attract people's hearts when the company is in a period of rapid development. The company treats old employees more favorably and rarely dismisses employees on its own initiative.
There are some secrets that have to be told, but Zhao Yi doesn’t know how this is done, or even just his feelings. As for seeking confirmation, he is not in a hurry now, or he is actually a little nervous in his heart, so he still pretends to be deaf and dumb. More appropriate.
Anyway, the current situation is the most ideal state for Sunflower Investment Company and himself. Otherwise, relying on Sunflower Investment Company's earning power, it will basically become a thorn in the side of financial institutions.
As for the governments of various countries, there is no need to worry too much. Anyway, there are many international financial institutions. One more of them is not more, and one less of them is not more. As long as they act in accordance with the rules, they will basically not be deliberately targeted.
Unless, like this stock market crash, the global stock market is manipulated and the stock market disaster is amplified, although it can be considered as following the trend, it will also leave a thorn in the hearts of governments of various countries, and they do not know when it will break out.
Therefore, when you are engaged in the financial industry and are still making a lot of money, you should not be so ostentatious. This has always been their belief, and it has also created their glory today.
Although Ping An Insurance Company also has a large amount of funds in its hands, due to their own functions, they have high requirements for financial stability and scale. Although it seems fine if there are no problems, once a major change occurs, it will be fatal.
In addition, they also bear the responsibility of increasing the value of domestic welfare funds, which is a heavy responsibility. After so many years of establishment, Zhao Yi has almost never thought about taking money from them and putting it into his own pocket. He just hopes that they can develop steadily.
As for several of his investment companies, because of their small size, the funds they previously invested in the reform of domestic state-owned enterprises were all specially allocated by him. Although the size of the funds in hand has increased a lot in the past few years, But there aren’t many.
The funds they are currently using to manipulate the stock market were specially allocated by Zhao Yi on a temporary basis. Otherwise, they would not have made much money by participating.
This time they made a lot of profits. They only need to return the principal to Zhao Yi and keep the profit part for themselves. In this case, they will have stronger capital and be able to participate in larger investment projects and have more capabilities. A solid foundation for development.
So after going around and around, the strength of several companies has improved a lot, but for him, the funds on hand still haven’t changed much. This is why self-raised funds are needed for the Northwest Climate and Land Transformation Plan. . (End of chapter)
