I'm in the county town, and you say I'm a big shot?

Chapter 519 He's a complete madman, a total madman!
The car was parked in the underground parking lot. Ouyang Shaoqiang hurried to the elevator entrance when he heard someone call his name: "Hey, Ouyang!"

Without turning around, Ouyang Shaoqiang knew it was Hang Silang.

Sure enough, Hang Silang was dressed in a suit and tie, looking very well-dressed, but his somewhat haggard face and constant yawning suggested that he had been fooling around with someone all night.

Normally, Ouyang Shaoqiang would tease him a bit, but he wasn't in the mood today.

Hang Silang asked with concern, "Ouyang, you look rushed, as if something big has happened?"

“Your information is accurate,” Ouyang Shaoqiang said as they walked.

"What news?" Hang Silang asked, somewhat puzzled.

“Yesterday, while having afternoon tea, you mentioned that the World News Weekly reported that Bernanke was going to reduce the scale of QE.”

"Oh my God, really?!" Now it was Hang Silang's turn to be surprised: "I thought it was just a lie to get clicks! The stock market will definitely react!"

"Yes, it depends on how strong the reaction is."

The two hurriedly took the elevator and quickly arrived at the office area. The colleagues who came to work today were all discussing one thing: What impact will the Federal Reserve's first signal last night of exiting quantitative easing (QE) have on stock markets around the world today?
Ouyang Shaoqiang, disregarding his colleagues' discussions, went to his office, turned on his computer, and quickly checked Fang Qingye's account holdings on the company intranet. As Fang Qingye's exclusive account manager, he did not have permission to view the client's trading process, but he could see the changes in his holdings.

Shorting the TOPIX index futures main contract, and with all of it!
Almost all of the original 98.5 billion yen in the account was invested.

crazy!

It's crazy!
Who plays futures like this?

The rule of thumb in the investment world is that you should not invest more than 20% of your funds in futures positions at one time. This is also the advice that I, as an account manager, repeatedly give to my clients. But he actually invested all his funds!
If the margin call occurs, 98 billion yuan will vanish into thin air!
Who the hell said he was conservative and cautious?

He's a complete madman, a total madman!
Ouyang Shaoqiang couldn't help but recall a skit from mainland China, featuring a character with a rather amusing Northeastern accent.

After calming down, he felt it necessary to remind her, so he quickly took out his phone and dialed Fang Qingye's number.

"Mr. Fang, looking at your positions, your operations are too risky, aren't they?" Ouyang Shaoqiang certainly didn't dare to call you a madman to your face, but instead cautiously reminded you.

"It's all about the thrill, isn't it?" Fang Qingye said casually and even joked on the other end of the phone.

Ouyang Shaoqiang's tone was very serious: "Mr. Fang, I must tell you seriously that the TOPIX index futures main contract closed higher yesterday, and you are now at a paper loss!"

"What are you afraid of? Didn't you hear the financial news today? The Federal Reserve has already hinted at exiting QE. The opportunity has arrived, you must seize it!"

“But…” Ouyang Shaoqiang was about to say a few more words of persuasion when he heard the other party say, “No need to say anything more, I’ve already made up my mind. We’re not talking anymore. I have to go to a farmer’s house in the countryside. He can’t repay his 15 yuan loan on time. We need to go and find out what’s going on. The car is waiting downstairs. We’ll talk when we have time.”

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone.

Oh my god
You actually went to the bank's door in person for 15 yen, but you completely ignored your own 98 billion yen!
Who exactly is this person?

Ouyang Shaoqiang felt that his worldview was about to collapse.

He took a sip of coffee, trying to calm himself down and put the matter out of his mind for the time being, while nervously watching the opening of stock markets in major countries.

The first stock market to open was the Japanese stock market, at 9:00 AM Tokyo time. The time difference is one hour ahead of Hong Kong, which means it opened at 8:00 AM Hong Kong time.

The market will open in two minutes.

Ouyang Shaoqiang held his coffee cup, suddenly feeling a little nervous.

Sure enough, the market opened with a sea of ​​red, a sharp drop!

Then I looked at the TOPIX futures and they also plummeted!
South Korean stock market crashes!

The Singapore stock market appears to be all red, but in reality, it has experienced a sharp decline!

The Hong Kong stock market then plummeted as well!

Throughout the day, the market was in a state of panic, with stock markets across Japan, Europe, and the United States all plummeting, while US Treasury yields and gold prices soared!
It was already ten o'clock when Ouyang Shaoqiang got home, and he was exhausted. All day, he had been constantly on the phone, answering calls and listening to clients' inquiries and complaints. He had been offering comfort and explanations, and now, lying on the sofa, he didn't want to move at all.

The only person I didn't call was Fang Qingye, a client from mainland China.

What's worth fighting?

They've won so much they're exhausted.

Today, the TOPIX index futures main contract also plummeted, falling 104 points, a drop of 8.09%, almost triggering the circuit breaker mechanism!

Based on today's points, Fang Qingye's unrealized profit is as high as 104 billion yen!
Double your investment in a single day!
Why.
Ouyang Shaoqiang couldn't tell whether he was happy or frustrated.

Fang Qingye's actions completely overturned his understanding of futures investment.

Playing like this will drive people crazy sooner or later!
Forget it, I'm not going to think about it anymore. I'm going to take a shower and go to bed.

Ouyang Shaoqiang stood up unsteadily, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind.

Is Fang Qingye celebrating with champagne tonight?

Ouyang Shaoqiang was wrong.

Fang Qingye continued to live her leisurely life. After dinner, she would ride her scooter home to visit her parents, but there wasn't much to talk about. Then she would go back to the nursery and take Wangcai for a stroll.

Around 10 PM, I video chat with Bai Ou from Shanghai, then take a shower and go to bed. Of course, I sometimes play a game of World of Warcraft before bed.

Fang Qingye did not celebrate, but a grand party was being held at a mountain villa in the Hamptons, Long Island, New York, thousands of miles away.

The party was attended by senior executives from Goldman Sachs, including President and Chief Operating Officer John Waldron and Co-Head of Asset and Wealth Management Mark Nachman.
Many of the company's top executives gathered here to celebrate the 60th birthday of Chairman and CEO Lloyd Blankfee.

"Thank you everyone, ladies and gentlemen. The profits the group has made in the US, Japanese and Hong Kong stock markets today are the best birthday gift for me!" Blankfein said with a smile.

The party was met with enthusiastic applause.

While major stock markets around the world are in dire straits, Goldman Sachs is raking in huge profits.

It all started with a comment Bernanke made "unintentionally" during an afternoon tea session with Chairman Blankfee a few days ago.

After the simple ceremony, everyone was free to chat and party, creating a harmonious and relaxed atmosphere.

“Mr. Blankfee, I have to tell you some bad news.” It was Alex, the company’s chief risk officer, who spoke: “The information department has received confirmation that a reporter from the World News Weekly leaked the report about your afternoon tea with Bernanke.”

“World News Weekly?” Blankfein frowned. “Have you found out which reporter it was?”

"Found him. Williams is 30 years old, graduated from Columbia Green Community College with a degree in journalism, is single, and lives in a studio apartment in the Brownville neighborhood of Brooklyn."

“Oh,” Blankfee said, lost in thought.

“Blancfeld, should this matter be handled by Catherine Rubin?” Alex asked in a low voice.

Catherine Rubin is the Group’s Chief Legal Officer, responsible for the Group’s legal and compliance matters.

Blankfee shook his head, looking thoughtful. "You said that young man lives in the Brownville neighborhood of Brooklyn. I remember that's one of the poorest and most chaotic areas in New York, with a consistently high crime rate, right?"

"Yes, sir."

“Well, if someone dies a violent death, isn’t that a normal thing?” Blankfee’s words were meaningful.

Eric immediately understood, and after a moment of silence, said, "I will send someone to contact the Gambino family."

“OK! Alex, we don’t need to worry about these trivial matters. Let’s have a drink!” Blankfee raised his glass, looking amiable.
