Chapter 870 Go Your Own Way and Leave Others with Nowhere to Go
After reading this music website’s overseas plan, Hu Ning’s first feeling was that it was exciting.
But as a successful plan, this is a matter of course.
While excited, Hu Ning then thought, is there an Internet bubble happening abroad now? If this plan is implemented in the United States, which is in dire straits, will it be a suicide?
Wu Tao was surprised that she had thought of this problem.
This shows that the opponent has learned to consider issues from the perspective of a strategist, not just a general charging into battle.
So he leaned back in his chair, put his hands together on his knees and said, "Then tell me about your understanding of the Internet bubble."
Hu Ning was suddenly a little nervous when he was suddenly asked about the issue of school entrance examination. He subconsciously lifted the hair on his forehead and said thoughtfully: "I think the Internet bubble is caused by overheated investment in the Internet field. There are two reasons for this. One is excessive investment. A lot of capital has entered this industry; the other is pseudo-Internet companies that are purely riding on the popularity of the Internet."
"Yeah!" Wu Tao affirmed: "Then do you think our plan is a pseudo-Internet company that is trying to sell its products? Is its Internet selling point valuable?"
Hu Ning's heart moved, and a smile spread on his face, "I understand, you mean, as long as the project is good, you are not afraid of being buried."
However, Hu Ning never imagined that Wu Tao was actually fighting a combination of punches.
In fact, along with this plan, there is also a draft design for a new generation of MP3.
The combination of the two is Apple's iTunes+iPod plan in the previous life. Wu Tao remembers clearly that Apple relied on this to get out of the stock market crash and return its stock price to the peak level before the Internet stock market crash.
Before giving the plan to Hu Ning, Wu Tao had already faxed this new generation MP3 design draft to the Yuanqi Technology headquarters.
It is precisely because of this that he feels more comfortable dumping all his Apple shares.
Because even if you can’t buy it back in the future, it doesn’t matter.
Anyway, let’s go our own way and leave Apple with nowhere to go.
Although the Federal Reserve's first interest rate hike has awakened Molly and others from their dreams, most people in the financial circle are still like ostriches with their heads buried in the sand, unaware of the coming danger.
Of course, there are also some bold risk-takers who are willing to take risks in order to maximize their profits.
Therefore, at this moment, Wu Yingying’s cost of shorting the Nasdaq index is still relatively low.
Adding triple leverage, if shorting the Nasdaq index is successful this time, the income will be at least 10 times the investment, or even more.
After doing all this, Tianqi Investment’s Los Angeles branch will not make any big moves in the short term.
Wu Yingying was free, but the tension in her heart did not diminish at all.
When she thought that this short-selling plan would last for half a year to a year, she suddenly felt a sense of darkness. When will this kind of suffering end?
After Molly and Panis went back, they hurriedly dealt with the stocks in their hands. Looking back, I breathed a sigh of relief, but found out that Tianqi Investment had already shorted the Nasdaq index.
Molly, a talented girl who has always been known for her eccentric style in the financial world, now has to admire Wu Tao's vision and courage.
Yes, now is a good time to short the Nasdaq.
But do you want to be so crazy and so desperate?
At this point, Molly couldn't understand. In fact, any normal person without prophetic ability cannot understand it.
So in the end, Molly only invested over 1 billion, making a small bet that the Nasdaq index would fall in half in the future, which is 2,500 points.
It's just that such short options have low risks and limited returns.
A rough calculation shows that the profit is two or three times higher.
A week later, Tsinghua University has entered the end of another academic year. Wu Tao and An Rong temporarily put down the work at hand and devoted all their energy to dealing with the dazzling array of examination methods in the school.
At the same time, the Federal Reserve announced a second interest rate hike of 25 basis points...
This is already an obvious signal of the interest rate hike cycle, which means that depending on the effect of adjustments, there will be a third or fourth time.
Sure enough, just when Wu Tao and others were finishing their final exams, the Federal Reserve announced its third interest rate hike, one time by 50 basis points!
This intensity can be said to be quite strong.
On days like this, Sina resolutely embarked on the road to IPO after completing the divestment of IPC's state-owned assets.
As a result, the domestic media was left speechless after encountering the nightmare of losing stock immediately after listing.
The major media had already prepared official articles praising his virtues, but they had to hurriedly withdraw them and rewrite them.
More media outlets simply gave up reporting on the incident.
Zhongguancun, NetEase.
Ding Lei was sitting in his office, watching the latest financial news in silence.
Interest rates were raised, stock prices fell, and listings broke. All of these were as he expected!
Accepting Wu Tao's point of view, Ding Lei suddenly found that the continuous decline in NetEase's stock price was no longer so painful for him.
No matter how miserable I am, at least I am better than Sina's Wang Zhidong.
For the current plan, we can only put it to death and survive. There is no use in blaming others and complaining about yourself.
Thinking of this, Ding Lei stood up with a groan, grabbed the car keys on the table, and hurried out.
Half an hour later, amid the heavy traffic during the evening rush hour, when Ding Lei arrived at Tianjing Company, it was already after get off work.
The members of the R&D team who were working overtime told him that their boss was not there.
Wu Tao was indeed not at Tianjing Company, because as soon as the exam was over, he returned to the courtyard house in Houhai.
If he doesn't go back, he may lose his place in the huge Prince's Mansion.
In the evening of June, the hot air was mixed with a hint of coolness. Wu Tao, who returned to the courtyard, returned from the heat of reinforced concrete to the quiet place of this small courtyard. His frantic heart suddenly calmed down.
As soon as she entered the gate, she heard Fang Yuan's wanton singing.
This girl has been clamoring to come to the capital since the college entrance examination, but her sister-in-law Wu Shuhua stopped her. Until the college entrance examination results came out, she was almost ready to enter Peking University. Now her sister-in-law has no excuse at all.
So Wu Tao had to arrange for someone to go back and pick him up.
Didn’t I just pick him up today and now he regards this courtyard as his own home.
The source of the sound was not in the main hall, but from another courtyard. Wu Tao followed the sound angrily, and An Rong followed with a smile.
Finally, I saw Fang Yuan wearing a golden retriever T-shirt in the flower room of the west courtyard.
Not to mention, the small glass flower house, hidden under the antique eaves and equipped with tables, chairs and benches, is really a good place to enjoy the cool air and admire the moon.
It's a pity that the night sky in the capital is so gray that it's hard to see anything clearly. It's a waste of time to live up to the good mood of this summer night.
