NBA: Art is trash talk

Chapter 326 Crazy
"Hello everyone, maybe there are new friends who don't know me, let me introduce myself first, my name is He Xinghui."

As soon as He Xinghui opened his mouth, some people with low laughter couldn't help laughing out loud.

"As we all know, playing basketball is actually just my side job. My real identity is a singer, arranger, screenwriter, planner, and economist. I can master so many talents at the same time, all thanks to my huge brain. I Compared with Taylor, my brain is about 1.5 times bigger than hers. Taylor is already very smart, so no one will object to me being smarter."

Everyone laughed again.

This kind of unconstrained sentence pattern is very interesting to listen to, and it is not boring at all.

"Is it funny? I'm serious. If you disagree, you can raise your hand."

He Xinghui continued, and Barkley and O'Neal raised their hands unceremoniously.

"You can ignore the opinions of these two unknown people."

Hahaha.
"OK, I'm getting down to business. When will US real estate crash?"

He Xinghui didn't even explain why real estate was bound to collapse, and directly transitioned to when it collapsed.

Because the people who will come to this reception must have seen the signs and believed that the property market will collapse.

"In my opinion, it will be in August of this year."

As soon as these words came out, the hall suddenly became noisy, and some people were discussing with each other. Obviously, this time was a bit surprising, too fast.

It is now January, half a year, in the blink of an eye.

"Is there any basis for it?"

Carl asked.

"To be honest, no, this is my intuition. Those who follow me should know that I accurately predicted that the Heat will win the championship last year, and even the process of the game was all predicted correctly. If a single example I still can't convince everyone, and now I am boldly predicting again that the United States will increase its troops to YLK in a few days."

After being reborn, He Xinghui had already forgotten many things.

However, he still has some impressions of some major events that he has focused on.

He remembered that the United States announced a plan to increase its troops in early 07, which was very unexpected.

He Xinghui's prediction dispelled the worries of some investors.

A real liar would not make wild predictions at such an important juncture, otherwise he would be revealed in a few days?
"He probably got some inside information."

Steve and Carl exchanged whispers.

"Impossible. He has nothing to do with the military. How could he be told such an extremely confidential matter in advance. Perhaps, his analytical ability and intuition are really powerful. In this world, there are always some people with different talents. Just Like Michael Barry, he sensed that the property market would collapse as early as 05."

Carl said.

"Then you mean you're ready to trust him?"

Steve asked.

He always felt that this was a bit of a joke.

"Why not? I can't see any characteristics of a liar in him. If he is not really sure, why bother to take this risk, he can live in a very chic way by quietly playing endorsements."

Carl said.

He Xinghui's superstar status is the foundation of his trust.

He didn't believe that He Xinghui would destroy his own life, and insisted on being a liar, that didn't make sense and was unscientific.

The thoughts of other people are actually similar to Carl's.

He Xinghui has even become a business card of China now, and his country cannot allow him to be a liar.

After a speech, He Xinghui came to the crowd and began to communicate with those who were interested in detail to increase their confidence.

Those who are still hesitating are communicating and researching with each other.

"He, how do you plan to operate, and what is the expected profit?"

On a sofa in the corner of the hall, He Xinghui, Taylor, Carl, Steve, Li Geng and others gathered together to have an in-depth exchange.

"What is the approximate annual profit of your current business?"

He Xinghui asked.

"About 8 percent."

Carl said proudly.

For the amount of funds in his hands, this profit is already quite good, which is equivalent to earning 1.6 million US dollars a year.

"Are you interested in doubling it 50 times?"

He Xinghui said.

hiss.
Carl gasped. If He Xinghui hadn't done too many unbelievable things before, he would definitely leave now without looking back.

madman.

Only lunatics and psychopaths can say such things.

50 times is 400% profit, which means that if Carl invests all, he can earn 80 billion US dollars for shareholders.

That would be a myth that could be used as a case study on Wall Street for those newcomers.

"Impossible. Even if the real estate industry collapses, based on the current CDS contract, a 1.5 times increase would be the best. And, to be honest, as long as a 150% profit rate can be guaranteed, I can wake up from my dreams with laughter."

Steve said.

Financial institutions like them that have a huge amount of funds to make money are completely different from small street vendors. They rely on quantity to win, and the profit rate is generally very low.

If they can achieve 10% annual profit, this kind of manager will be snapped up by major financial institutions, and the annual salary is at least several million, or even tens of millions.

"The secret to making money is to do things that others can't think of. Many people are buying CDS now, which means that many people have seen the business opportunity, and naturally there is no way to make huge profits from this business."

He Xinghui said.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Carl asked.

He understands the truth, the key is that he can't think of ways to make huge profits that others can't think of.

"It's simple, buy CDS on AA-rated bonds."

He Xinghui said.

"Oh, are you crazy?"

Steve exclaimed, causing other people to look sideways, and some even gathered around to listen to their debate.

You can't blame Steve for being so gaffe, because He Xinghui's actions are indeed very crazy.

For example, a CDS is like a critical illness insurance contract. The older the insured is, the more premiums need to be paid each month and the less the compensation will be.

The healthier the insured is, the less money he needs to pay and the more compensation he will pay.

But the problem is that healthy young people are less likely to get seriously ill, so they don't need to buy insurance.

The current short sellers all buy B-grade (old people) and BB-grade CDS with the lowest credit ratings, so that they are more likely to get compensation.

However, to buy a B-level CDS, you need to pay a lot of premiums, but you get very little compensation.

But He Xinghui wants to buy CDS of AA-rated (healthy young people) bonds.

This way, although the compensation is high and the premiums paid are small, the problem is that the probability of AA-level collapse is also very small.

Once the AA level does not collapse, all the premiums they paid will be in vain.

(In the bond market, according to different credit ratings, rating agencies such as Standard & Poor's or Moody's will divide them into AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, and B grades. AAA represents high quality and will not default, and B grade represents extremely There is a possibility of default.)
"Steve, I've checked, and those credit ratings are shit. AA-rated CDOs actually contain a large number of BBB-rated and BB-rated loan contracts. If you don't believe it, you can investigate it yourself .”

He Xinghui said.

At present, very few people know this kind of secret, and He Xinghui also came from a prophet.

"How is that possible, how dare S&P do this? It's against the law."

Steve said.

"Because they don't give AA ratings, customers will go to Moody's next door, and they can still get AA ratings. Even the Oscars can't be completely fair and just, let alone those institutions that treat ratings as a business."

He Xinghui said.

Steve was shocked, and some others were also shocked, unable to believe that such a thing even existed.

However, if you think about it carefully, it seems reasonable.

How could there be so many 'quality customers' in the market if it wasn't for the credit rating agency's tricks?
You know, the wages of ordinary people in the United States have not risen for more than ten years.

After Steve was surprised, he found that Carl next to him was very calm, and asked, "Do you believe it?"

"It's not that I believe it, but I know that it is true."

Carl sighed.

He has a friend who works at Standard & Poor's and knows some inside information.

Only, he wasn't sure how bad those shit ratings would be.

"Before those banks don't know this, we can buy CDS at a very low price and get huge compensation after the housing market crashes. I estimate that in a few months, the S&P will have a thunderstorm and be forced to lower Some bond ratings, by then it will be too late to make big money.”

He Xinghui said.

"Are you sure that the collapse of the property market can lead to large-scale defaults on AA-rated bonds?"

Steve asked.

"I put all my funds, even borrowed some money, and put together [-] million yuan to invest in it."

What He Xinghui said was very straightforward.

I put my wealth and life on it, how can I have no confidence?
His words dispelled many people's doubts.

The generals took the lead, and there was no reason why these little soldiers should not follow.

"Although it is crazy, it is really exciting and exciting. He, I am willing to take a share, let's talk about how to distribute the proceeds."

When He Xinghui said that the AA rating was bullshit, Carl made up his mind, because he felt that He Xinghui was indeed very powerful and knew even such super-secret matters.

"Income, there are two ways for you to choose. One of them is fixed income, and I will pay you 50% whether it is a profit or a loss. It is equivalent to borrowing usury from you. The other is to take risks with me. , After the investment is over, I will take 30% of the share as a commission."

He Xinghui said.

"30% is too high."

Carl directly ignored the first option. On Wall Street, the most indispensable thing is gamblers.

If he didn't want to take a gamble, he could trade by himself and make a little money without cooperating with He Xinghui.

"Let's ask for 35%. It seems that I don't have confidence. You still have to hesitate about this kind of opportunity to make money for you. I don't know how to help you. To be honest, it is very happy to see others regret I don’t want you guys to be my source of happiness in a few months.”

He Xinghui said to everyone.

"."

steve.

Having grown up and worked for so long, he has never seen such an arrogant way of negotiating.

But let alone, the more confident He Xinghui was, the less worried he was.

He even felt that this was a sure-fire deal.

Others feel the same way.

"Just kidding, just kidding, 30% is 30%."

Carl didn't dare to bargain any more, for fear that He Xinghui would continue to increase.

"Congratulations, after a few months, we can appreciate other people's regretful expressions together."

He Xinghui stretched out his hand, and the two smiled and shook hands.

A business of hundreds of millions of dollars was reached in such a random way, and the rest were just some details of the contract.

Taylor Swift on the side couldn't believe her eyes.

This is hundreds of millions of dollars, not tens of thousands.

She never imagined that an athlete would have such boldness in business.

Unknowingly, she became more and more infatuated with He Xinghui, and felt that she couldn't lose He Xinghui, and she must stalk him to stay with him.

Coincidentally, Theron thought so too.

She missed an opportunity before, and she didn't want to miss the opportunity to maintain a close relationship with He Xinghui again.

"Maybe, I should give him a baby."

Taylor looked at Theron and Ariel, and this idea came to his mind.

After chatting with Carl Steve and others, He Xinghui continued to chat with others.

He needs to persuade them one by one, after all, this amount of investment is a major event that will affect his life.

It takes a lot of courage and courage for everyone to make such a decision.

After a few hours, the total amount of preliminary intentions reached 15 billion US dollars.

Although Karl has 20 billion funds in his hands, it is impossible to risk all the money invested in it, and the shareholders will kill him.

Everyone else is similar, with limited input.

"It's only 15 billion. It's a bit small. I can only drink some soup."

At night, He Xinghui complained on the balcony.

You know, John Paulson invested 125 billion.Relying on this speculation, he directly ranked among the top [-] richest people in the world.

"It's been a lot. To be honest, my heart is still beating fast and I can't calm down."

Taylor said.

She grew up so big, and she has experienced such a big thing.

"Really? I'll touch it."

He Xinghui said with a wicked smile.

15 billion is not a lot. With 5 times or 10 times leverage, it is not a problem to earn 50 billion.

Taylor raised his chest when he heard this.

Just touch it, it's not like you haven't been touched before.

The next day, the news reported the establishment of the Five Star Foundation.

After some star fans found out, they began to sell their wealth management products and put their money into five-star funds.

No way, they just believed in He Xinghui.

The power of idols is quite terrifying to hardcore fans.

These ordinary people may not have much money, but there are many of them.

He Xinghui has at least 500 million true fans in North America.Ashes, at least 10.

Each of these people invested an average of 5000, which is 5 million.

Faced with fans joining, He Xinghui did not refuse.

If it is a risky investment, he may not agree, he does not want his fans to lose money.

However, this time he was really sure.

The impact of his time travel cannot affect the real estate market. As long as history develops like the original time and space, then he can wait to count the money.

On the 5th, when the Clippers played against the Mavericks, He Xinghui was absent due to physical discomfort.

In fact, he was still busy with the Foundation.

Although the fans were a little dissatisfied, they were okay.

He Xinghui's attendance rate is already very high, and he couldn't ask for more.

On the 6th, He Xinghui's prophecy came true, the US government announced a plan, they will continue to increase troops to YLK.

Those who were still hesitant before came to the door one after another, hoping to transfer the money to the Five Star Fund and let He Xinghui manage it.

As of the 8th, the five-star fund has raised 23 billion US dollars of funds.

Compared with John Paulson, it is still an order of magnitude worse.

This is also impossible, after all, He Xinghui's main business is playing basketball, not doing business.

On the 9th, He Xinghui finished his game against the Warriors at home, and then went to Morgan Stanley, Lehman Brothers, Goldman Sachs and other investment banks to negotiate contracts.

"Oh, welcome to our new Wall Street star, Ho."

Ryan, the CEO of Morgan Stanley, gave He Xinghui a hug very enthusiastically. Capitalists are so enthusiastic about fat sheep.

That's right, in the eyes of Ryan and others, if He Xinghui, an NBA athlete, wants to invest with them, he is here to give money.

Compared with playing basketball, they will surrender without hesitation.

But compared to investment, they are confident that they can beat He Xinghui by several blocks.

"He, I heard that you plan to buy CDS? You really have a vision, this thing has become a hot commodity."

Ryan fooled.

He does not believe that the property market will collapse. If he believes that the property market will collapse, it is impossible to sell CDS.

"That's what everyone says about me."

He Xinghui laughed, giving the image of a madman.

"Hahaha"

After laughing, Ryan continued to fool around: "Then, what kind of CDS do you want to buy? BB grade, or BBB grade. I suggest buying BB grade, which is more cost-effective."

"Do not."

What He Xinghui said made Rui En a little regretful, he hoped that He Xinghui would buy BB grade instead of BBB grade.

"I'm going to buy AA CDS."

He Xinghui said.

The negotiating team of Morgan Stanley was stunned immediately, and an analyst asked: "Sorry, did I hear wrong? You want to buy AA grade?"

These elites almost never make low-level mistakes like mishearing, but this time, they really suspect that they have misheard.

Isn't it crazy to buy AA grade?

It's like a 20-year-old guy going to buy himself an Alzheimer's insurance policy, 100% free.

"You heard that right."

He Xinghui said.

"Sorry, I shouldn't have asked, but I couldn't help it, why, why did you do this?"

asked a female trader named Harris.

"Because I'm smarter than you. If you can understand why I do this, you can't be just a small employee and become a boss long ago."

He Xinghui continued to play his image of a madman, he didn't need to be polite to these people.

As long as he has money, others will offer him as his father.

Harris wanted to say more, but Ryan raised his hand and glared at her.

He didn't care why He Xinghui did this, if someone came to send money, why not do it?

"He, I hope I can sell you 1000 million CDS of AA-rated bonds."

Ryan said.

He was afraid that He Xinghui would buy too little, so he carefully quoted a figure that He Xinghui could bear.

"Do not."

He Xinghui's words made Rui En slightly regretful.

But, urgently, He Xinghui said: "I hope to buy 5 million."

He plans to distribute the 23 billion to five investment banks to reduce the hatred value.

If you buy all the CDS of Morgan Stanley, Ryan will laugh happily now.But after the real estate collapsed, Ryan would definitely want to kill him.

"."

Morgan Stanley negotiating team.

Once again they suspected that they had heard wrong.

"$5 million?"

Harris asked.

"Sorry, I don't mean to offend, but I really doubt that you are having an affair with the boss. After all, you are just beautiful, and your business ability is too poor, how can you work at Morgan Stanley. For you, 5 million is a lot ?"

He Xinghui complained.

"."

Everyone.

"Hahaha, you are right, 5 million is just a drop in the bucket for Morgan Stanley, happy cooperation."

Ryan laughed.

Happiness came too fast, and he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

If this deal is completed, he can at least earn tens of millions from He Xinghui.If He Xinghui has been unwilling to stop the loss, it is also possible to squeeze out 5 million.

As for the AA-rated bond default, Ryan really hadn't thought about this, it's impossible, there is no such precedent.

Both sides feel that they have the chance to win, and this kind of bet is the easiest to establish.

In the following detailed negotiations, the two parties fully demonstrated the harmonious and win-win business spirit, and the negotiation went very smoothly.

Occasionally, when there is a disagreement, both parties make concessions easily.

After signing the contract, Ryan almost burst into tears.

He felt that if other bastards in Wall Street could talk as well as He Xinghui, he would at least have a few more years of life.

Before leaving, Harris came to He Xinghui and said in front of everyone: "He, the boss and I are innocent. However, if you need something, I don't mind having something to do with you as a token of my gratitude. "

"Oh! It's so enviable."

"He, take this advantage, you deserve it."

The people from Morgan Stanley laughed.

"Let's talk about it later, I still need to go to Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers."

He Xinghui didn't refuse, he was going to use this woman, maybe he could instigate this girl in the future, and get some inside information about Morgan from her mouth.

After leaving Morgan Stanley, He Xinghui's team went to Goldman Sachs, Lehman Brothers, and Bear Stearns.

It took him two days to get these things done.

For this reason, the Clippers lost two games, and the number of losses came to 4 games.

Some pure fans and experts began to criticize He Xinghui, saying that he should not put his mind on business, and that the first priority of a professional athlete is always the game.

Some people even began to make bold predictions, saying that this is the beginning of He Xinghui's decline, and the Clippers will continue to lose.

There was a lot of public opinion from the outside world, and Elkin had to make a phone call, hoping that He Xinghui could restrain himself.

"Don't worry, the next game will be won."

He Xinghui said.
