Chapter 869 The Stock Market Crash Is the Biggest Business Opportunity

As Wu Tao, who has experienced the financial crisis in 2000 and 2008, as well as multiple real estate regulation processes in China, he is no stranger to interest rate hikes.

So when he saw this word in Wu Yingying's email, he knew that the Nasdaq index was in danger.

Just when news of the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike spread throughout the Wall Street financial community, the Nasdaq index reached a record high of 5,047.3 points and then began to decline.

Although the initial decline was not as dramatic as a sudden drop, a downward channel has been formed. This is a fact.

The formation of stock market crash is inevitable.

It's just that this stock market disaster is a disaster for others, but for Wu Tao, it is a once-in-a-lifetime business opportunity.

As long as it is used properly, the foreign currency financial assets of Tianqi Investment can definitely reach a new level!

After reading the email, Wu Tao was thinking about it in his mind. At the door of Tianjing Company, a man with an imposing figure walked straight to the front desk.

The man looked at the layout here. Although the venue was not small, neither the decoration nor the location was high-end.

It's hard to believe that a young man with a net worth of hundreds of millions is willing to work and work in a place like this.

"I'm looking for your boss."

Yang Wei raised her head and folded her hands in front of her: "Sir, what's your surname? Do you have an appointment?"

"My surname is Xiao, there is no reservation!" the visitor replied.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Yang Wei was about to turn the person away when she suddenly saw the other person take out a purple and gold business card from his pocket.

It turned out to be the boss’s exclusive business card!

Yang Wei's attitude immediately became respectful, "Please follow me."

Just when Wu Tao was reading the email and thinking about it secretly in his mind, Yang Wei came in with the guests.

"Hey, Brother Xiao, come in quickly!" Wu Tao stood up immediately, met Xiao Ruiguang, pulled him to sit down on the sofa and said, "What a rare visitor, Brother Xiao!"

Xiao Ruiguang looked around and said to himself: "Where, I came to the door rashly and disturbed your work."

"It doesn't exist. I'm just thinking about it too."

After a brief exchange of greetings, Xiao Ruiguang, who was straightforward, took out a document from his wallet and handed it to Wu Tao: "You can help me consult with my staff. Can this be submitted?"

Wu Tao took it over in surprise and saw that it was the Pre-IPO round financing prospectus of Sina!

In my memory, Sina has never done this. Could it be that Wang Zhidong and other managers realized the crisis of Sina's IPO and wanted to recruit more backers to reduce their own losses and maximize financing income?

Probably!

What's more, now that the Federal Reserve has begun to raise interest rates and the Nasdaq index has entered a downward channel, this kind of Pre-IPO financing is obviously low-yield and high-risk.

"Brother Xiao, if you believe me, don't vote."

Xiao Ruiguang simply said, "Okay!" and then put away the document.

Afterwards, the two of them chatted casually for a while, and Xiao Ruiguang stood up and left.

As expected, he was born in the military, and he didn't do anything sloppy at all.

After sending Xiao Ruiguang away, Wu Tao returned to the office and an idea came to his mind.

Rather than waiting for opportunities to be realized after the stock market crash, it is better to short the Nasdaq index now!

Strike first to gain the upper hand!

When the next overseas call came to Wu Yingying's mobile phone, the other party was startled: "Boss, this matter is extremely risky and there is no absolute certainty..."

"I know, I'm sure." Wu Tao said confidently: "How tight is the return on high-quality stock assets this time?"

Wu Yingying said, "About 24 billion U.S. dollars."

"In this case, then spend 15 billion US dollars to short the Nasdaq index. The goal is to reach below 1,500 points in the next six months to one year. How to configure you to do it." Wu Tao ordered.

Wu Yingying was secretly frightened, but she was used to carrying out Wu Tao's instructions to the letter, "Boss, do you need more leverage?"

Wu Tao pondered for a moment and then said: "To be on the safe side, 3 times the leverage."

"Okay, I'll get ready."

"Remember, you have to act fast! It must be done before the Federal Reserve raises interest rates for the second time!"

After hanging up the call from Wu Yingying, Wu Tao realized that his palms were all sweaty.

But looking back, I realize that my investment style is still conservative. Even though I know that the Nasdaq index will plummet in the next six months to one year, I still dare not go all out to invest in it.

If it were anyone else, they would have already leveraged nearly 50 billion in foreign currency financial assets, all of which were leveraged.

Of course, conservative is conservative.

If this short-selling of the Nasdaq index can be successful, it will be a matter of course for Apocalypse to invest in overseas assets to reach the level of the Quantum Fund.

There is no other way to make money faster than this method.

So this stock market crash itself is the biggest business opportunity!

After coming back to his senses, Wu Tao drank the coffee in the cup in one gulp, and then he took a breath and calmed down.

Immediately afterwards, the landline phone on the table rang. When I picked it up, it was the voice of Yang Wei at the front desk: "Boss, Miss Hu Ning is here to visit."

"Let her in."

Not long after, Hu Ning walked into the office in a heroic manner. Although she put on a light makeup on her pretty face, she still couldn't hide the heroic spirit between her brows.

Wu Tao asked the other party to sit down on the chair in front of the desk and said, "Have you reached an agreement on the equity negotiations with Mr. Qin?"

Speaking of this, Hu Ning couldn't help but said in annoyance: "Mr. Qin is so powerful, I am no match for her, so in the end I only won 8 points of dry shares."

"Eight points is not bad!" Wu Tao said with a smile, "Then what are your plans next?"

Hu Ning said with expectation: "Of course it's all up to you!"

Wu Tao raised his eyebrows, "If I ask you to give up studying abroad, are you going to give up too?"

Hu Ning took a deep breath, then nodded and said: "If the boss has other arrangements for me, I will obey your arrangements first!"

After saying that, Hu Ning's expression gradually became firm from the initial reservation.

After a moment, Wu Tao burst out laughing, then took out a document from the drawer and said: "You should go abroad. This plan of mine does not conflict with your plan to study abroad."

Hu Ning's eyebrows suddenly lit up, and his whole face glowed, "Really?"

"You can see for yourself." Wu Tao leaned back in his chair and said leisurely.

Hu Ning couldn't wait to open the document and read it carefully on the spot. The more he looked at it, the more he was surprised and the more he looked at it, the more he admired it.

This document is a complete version of the commercialized overseas development plan for a music website!

Different from the imperfect copyright management in China, when setting up music websites abroad to share music resources, it is completely possible to adopt a payment model and make profits directly from the online sharing and downloading of songs.

This is a more direct and mature development path than Qianqianjingting’s domestic website.

Of course, this approach can only be applied in foreign Internet environments with complete intellectual property rights and strong awareness of payment...
