Chapter 314 313, Explosion

Hong Kong Island
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Guosheng, a stockbroker at Guotai Junan Securities, was sitting at home, staring at the computer in front of him as usual.

The U.S. stock market is about to open at 9: p.m. Beijing time. According to his previous habits, before the stock market opens, Guosheng will sit quietly and review in his mind the performance of his clients in the stock market yesterday.

Without exception, yesterday, real estate prodigy Luo Zhaohui lost money again in technology stocks, as if the world was against him. Whichever stock Luo Zhaohui bought, it would plummet; and whichever stock Luo Zhaohui just sold, the stock that had just plummeted would immediately rise.

Compared with Luo Zhaohui, the performance of Pang Weiren, another rumored boyfriend of the most dazzling Hong Kong sister in history, Li Jiaxin, in the U.S. stock market was quite amazing. Yesterday, he only bought three energy stocks, all of which rose to varying degrees. Among them, Marathon Oil (MRO) had the most eye-catching increase of 1.74%.

Of course, Pang Weiren’s performance can only be considered amazing, and it is not as explosive as Jiang Feng’s.

How explosive has Jiang Feng been recently?
He started shorting Amazon's stock last year, and the selling prices of the loaned stocks were $113, $115 and $117.4 respectively.

And what was Amazon's stock price yesterday?
Sorry, it’s 56.7 US dollars!

This means that if Jiang Feng used the money in his account to buy Amazon shares now and then returned the shares to the securities company, he would have doubled his money.

How much is twice the money?

According to statistics, Jiang Feng injected funds into the account four times in total, with a total amount of 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and he increased the leverage to 1.8 times, which is 25 billion Hong Kong dollars. Half of 45 billion Hong Kong dollars is 45 billion.

I can’t say anything else, but if Jiang Feng stops now, his gross profit will be 22.5 billion Hong Kong dollars. Of course, this also includes the interest on stocks borrowed from securities companies, broker’s commission, various taxes, etc.

But even after deducting those, it is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Feng will make a huge profit of 15 billion Hong Kong dollars from this battle.

Damn, that's awesome...

Thinking of this, Guosheng, who is usually gentle and elegant, couldn't help but want to swear.

Originally, as a novice in stock trading, Jiang Feng could only increase the leverage to 10 times at most. At the beginning, Jiang Feng also increased the leverage to 10 times, but when the news that he wanted to short Amazon stock spread, he immediately became a laughing stock in the financial circle of Hong Kong Island, because since its listing, Amazon's stock has never plummeted, but only soared.

Therefore, the boss of Guotai Junan Securities, who always looked down on mainlanders, opened a back door for Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng is a newcomer, it doesn’t matter, I can increase his leverage to 25 times.

He is a famous singer and TV actor in mainland China. Apart from anything else, I heard that Jiang Feng’s third music album has sold 3 million copies now. I am not afraid that he will not be able to pay back the money he lost.

As soon as he heard this, Jiang Feng called immediately and said, "Guosheng, listen to your boss and increase the leverage to the maximum for me."

Haha..., I'm afraid the boss even wants to die now. He really didn't expect that Amazon's stock would actually plummet, and it was a 50% drop.

Thinking of this, Guosheng picked up the mobile phone in front of the computer, edited a text message and sent it.

[Mr. Jiang, Amazon's stock price was $56.7 yesterday. It is expected that the stock price will remain stable today.]

…………

[Mr. Jiang, Amazon's stock price was $56.7 yesterday. It is expected that the stock price will remain stable today.]

When Jiang Feng received Guosheng's text message, he was having dinner with Wang Fei and Jiang Ye at the Fu Laosan Donkey Goods restaurant.

Well, it can’t be called dinner.

Because Jiang Feng was accompanying Wang Fei in singing practice, he arrived here a little late. Therefore, to be precise, everyone should be eating a midnight snack.

Jiang Feng, Jiang Ye and Wang Fei didn't eat much, so they ordered a donkey meat platter, a donkey meat hotpot and 3 donkey meat buns.

"Delicious!" After taking just one bite of the donkey meat hotpot, Wang Fei smiled and gave a thumbs up. However, when she saw that Jiang Feng was checking the text messages on his mobile phone and did not respond to her, she became a little curious.

"Jiang Feng, what are you looking at?"

"Oh, I didn't see anything. It was just a text message from a stockbroker I met in Hong Kong Island." Jiang Feng smiled and handed her the phone.

"Amazon stock, $56.7."

After getting these two key pieces of information from Jiang Feng's phone, Wang Fei blew her bangs and asked curiously, "Are these the stocks you bought?"

"Yes."

"Did you make a profit or a loss?" The person who asked this question was Jiang Ye. As the older sister of the twins, Jiang Ye was naturally qualified to ask about this matter.

"It's a small profit."

Jiang Feng didn't dare tell the truth because this matter was too big and he didn't want to scare the biological sister of this body.

"How much is the small profit?" Jiang Ye was not someone who was so easily fooled, and he asked immediately.

"Well, let's put it this way, after factoring in other fees, taxes, commissions, etc., I can make about $40."

"40 US dollars..., so little, so boring, just three or four hundred yuan, not as much as I earn playing mahjong with Sister Fei." Jiang Ye complained, raised his hand, and began to eat seriously.

Jiang Feng continued to chat about business with Wang Fei, as if the text message Guo Sheng had just sent had never appeared.

"Jiang Feng, the Formosa Province Golden Melody Awards ceremony will be held on the 18th of this month, and you are at a disadvantage. Although you have been nominated for many awards including Best Album, Best Mandarin Song, Best Newcomer, and Best Male Singer, your second music album, "He Must Love You Very Much," was a collaboration with EMI Music.

Now that you have a new agency, EMI Music will naturally not work hard for you to help you win the award.

And what about Universal Music?

With Zheng Zongji, the son of Zheng Donghan, and Jacky Cheung, the singing god, basically they are unwilling to lobby the judges for your previously released songs? "

"Then, what should I do?" Jiang Feng asked.

"Sister Kuan's idea is that before the Golden Melody Awards ceremony, you should take two days off to go to Taipei, and then let her take you to visit the bigwigs in the Hong Kong and Taiwan music circles.

Like Yao Qian, like big brother Li Zongsheng, like Xiao Chong, like youngest brother Fei Yuqing and his biological brother Zhang Fei, etc.

The purpose of visiting them is that even if you don’t win the prize this time, you can at least make yourself familiar to them.”

"Um…"

Jiang Feng was silent.

It’s not that Wang Fei was wrong, but Jiang Feng was weighing the pros and cons. After all, there was still a month between April 4th and May 18th, and the two were so close. If he really went to Baodao Province, he might get into trouble that he shouldn’t.

Thinking of this, Jiang Feng sighed.

"Forget it. On April 4, which is half a month from now, "Swordsman" will move to Jinyun County, LS City. The task is a bit heavy, and I'm afraid I can't take a leave."
