  Chapter 814 Bet on Career

  The time soon came to November 2008. In three days, Li Xiangping would need to go to Phoenix, Hunan Province again, to participate in the last two games of this year's special tenth round.

   One night, Li Xiangping was comfortably staying in his newly built nest when the sound of the TV came from his ears:

"Dear viewers, here are two pieces of Go news: In the fourth game of the first "BC Card Cup" World Professional Go Championship Finals, which ended today, Chinese chess player Gu Dali beat South Korea's Zhao Hancheng nine-dan in the mid-tablet. He won the championship with a total score of 3 to 1. This is also the second world championship in his personal career. However, Gu Dali Jiuduan said in an interview after the game: Although winning this championship makes him happy, it is not enough to make him He was excited, because since the Chinese chess player Li Xiangping withdrew from the regular competition, the world championship is no longer the highest honor in the world chess world, nor does it represent the highest level. Gu Dali also revealed to reporters that what he values ​​most at the moment is still the In particular, the match against Li Xiangping in the 10th chess game will be held in three days. Gu Dali 9 dan said: He will work with South Korea's Lee Sedol 9 dan to do his best in the game and do his best for the World United team. A battle of dignity..."

"While Gu Dali won the BC Card Cup at 9 dan, this year's China Go League A also came to an end today. In the final round held in Changxing, Zhejiang today, the Shencheng team led by Chang Hao 9 dan defeated Gu. The Shancheng team, who was greatly absent, won the championship this year. This is also the second time that the Shencheng team has won the cup in the history of the team. However, in today's Weijia arena, it is not the Shencheng team and the Shancheng team that attract the most attention. It is the Yunnan Province team with super foreign aid Li Shishi 9 dan. In this year's Weijia competition, South Korea's Li Shishi 9 dan performed extremely well. He ranked first in the winning percentage with a record of 14 wins and 1 loss, and at the last moment led the Yunnan Province team to avoid relegation. Success. In an interview after the game, Li Shishi's 9th dan also said: For him, the most important game this year is only the special 10th and Li Xiangping battle, and vowed to the reporter: Bet on his career, he will definitely To stop Li Xiangping's crazy momentum..."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

   When he heard this, Li Xiangping couldn't help but burst into laughter.

  His hilarious laughter startled Yaya next to her, she turned her head and gave her a blank look:

   "No problem, what's so funny?"

Li Xiangping continued to laugh at himself: "Tsk tsk tsk, bet on a career? You said that these Japanese and Korean chess players are all so emotional, and they can bet on any career and the honor of the chess player. Like, Yaya, tell me, is it interesting that they keep saying this?"

   "Not good? I think it's fine."

   "That's because you don't hear much," Li Xiangping continued with a smile:

"If you want to say something like this, of course it's okay to listen to it once or twice every now and then, and it's still very warm-hearted, but I can't stand them talking about it every day. Take this Xiao Li as an example. I know how many times I've been gambling, and my ears are getting calluses, so who do you think still believes him?"

   "Yes, everyone else is warm-blooded, but you are cold-blooded..."

   When Yaya said this, the phone rang, so she listened:

"your phone."

  Li Xiangping took the phone, but it was his cousin Li Weiping who called.

   After he was connected, his cousin's voice couldn't hide his excitement. He said bluntly without saying a word of nonsense:

   "Xiang Ping, I'm now officially letting you know that we succeeded. Lehman Brothers really declared bankruptcy today."

"Oh?!!"

  Li Xiangping was talking with his cousin and opened the financial page of the computer beside him. He saw the famous picture at a glance: two Lehman Brothers employees were taking the company plaque off Wall Street——

   There is no doubt that this kind of picture is one of the landmark events of the subprime mortgage crisis in the lighthouse country.

After seeing this picture, even Li Xiangping, a financial novice, breathed a sigh of relief (this is of course Li Xiangping's modesty, in fact, his financial knowledge is much higher than that of many reading novices. Many, as his philosophical level is much higher than many book friends who complain about him)

You must know that this wave of operations planned by him and his cousin is actually all around this iconic event. This is a real hedging. The standard bet is to bet on whether Lehman Brothers will go bankrupt. Now that the dust has settled , then of course it's harvest season.

   "Hey, brother, how much did we earn this time?"

  Li Weiping's voice still couldn't hide his excitement: "Hey, I have gained a lot, this time I made a lot of money, Xiangping, guess how much?"

  Li Xiangping smiled and said: "I guess what the fuck, brother, don't give a shit, hurry up and tell me how much."

   "The specific data is still being counted, and the final result will take two days to come out, but don't worry, this time the income is very large, and it may be much more than the best income expected before."

"Oh."

When he heard this, Li Xiangping stopped interrogating. His cousin went to Hong Kong for more than a year this time. Of course, his basic operation is to short. Since it is short, it must be leveraged. As for adding How much leverage?

  Li Xiangping’s bottom line is 4 times leverage. Considering that the interest rate for short selling is relatively high, so for safety, the maximum leverage is 10 times. Based on the principal of 500 million US dollars, the profit should be between 2 billion and 5 billion.

   Now, since my cousin said that it was "better than the best expectations", did it break through 5 billion US dollars?

   As a traverser, and a traverser whose biggest goal is dog fighting, Li Xiangping is of course quite numb to such numbers.

   He felt that whether it was 2 billion or 5 billion, it was just a number to him, and he might not be as excited as the half-moon in Go.

   "Brother, did you call me today to tell me this?"

"This kind of thing isn't worth calling me, I said Xiang Ping, that's what bothers you the most. You look like a little old man at such a young age, will you die if you act a little excited, by the way, except for In addition to this matter, there is one more thing I want to talk to you about."

   "Hey, you said, I'm actually very excited."

   "The one who started a football team, yes, the old Xu of Evergrande, Xiangping, do you know this person?"

   "Huh, what about him? He and my dad are traveling together, of course I know, what's the matter?"

Li Weiping said with a smile on the other end of the phone: "Lao Xu's life is a bit sad right now, he should also be affected by the financial crisis, so recently, he has been staying in Hong Kong, playing cards with a group of rich people, and it is rumored in the industry that he is going to To run the IPO, we need to find the white knight, and he found me here and asked me if I would like to subscribe for a part, Xiangping, how about it? Just considering that he is a colleague of the second uncle, I have to ask what you mean ."

  Li Xiangping was happy when he heard it.

   Lao Xu listed in the operating company? Then you are going to find Li Weiping as a white knight?

   Li Xiangping, who understands the development trajectory of the domestic real estate industry in the next 10 years, said almost without hesitation:

"Haha okay, of course it's fine to be a white knight under old Xu. Brother, let me tell you, you may not know much about the domestic real estate industry. This is a very policy-oriented industry. My dad told me that, saying In terms of sensitivity to policies and grasp of policies, there are two top experts in the domestic real estate industry, one is Wangda Wang, and the other is Hengda Lao Xu, so it is no problem to help him with money. It's still profitable. By the way, he may not know your identity now, right? I think you can clearly tell him my dad's identity, let's put it this way? As long as he has no other worries, such as worrying that his peers are enemies, as long as he dares to Take it, we dare to give it.”

   "Hehehe,"

  Li Weiping let out a chuckle on the other end of the phone:

   "Xiangping, I think so. Since it involves the second uncle, I will not make the decision. How about you come to Xiangjiang yourself? Go and talk to Lao Xu in person."

"You don't need to talk about it in person. The scale of this IPO is not large, it's just a small business of hundreds of millions of dollars. Brother, don't forget that you should be a man in Hong Kong now. You dare to fight against Wall Street, and don't let that Help Hong Kong farmers look up to you, this kind of small business should be the master."

"Ha ha."

Although    cousin was very useful to Li Xiangping's flattery, he still insisted:

   "No no no, since the second uncle is involved, it's best for you to do it yourself."

  Li Weiping paused and continued:

"Come on Xiangping, I've been working on the previous operation for more than a year, and I almost collapsed several times, so I need to take a good rest and let myself be completely empty. Besides, you're fine anyway, there are only ten games left. The last two games, right? Come on Xiangping, why don't you take the time to come to Hong Kong to play after the game is over?"

   Hearing what his cousin said, Li Xiangping still expressed his understanding, knowing that his "almost mental breakdown" was not a lie.

You must know that Yankees will also intervene to save the market in the face of financial crises. For example, a few months ago, Yankee's Citigroup also had a problem, and then the Federal Reserve took action and injected 17 billion US dollars in the front, but later, it was not enough, and then injected another 10 billion US dollars. , a total of 27 billion US dollars were injected before and after, and Citi was entrusted.

  Li Xiangping, as a rebirth, of course he doesn't feel anything about it.

   But it is different for Li Weiping, who operates personally.

  The Fed can save Citigroup, why can't it save Lehman Brothers, which is also an investment bank?

   What if the Yankees make another move? Wouldn't the $500 million principal be lost?

   It is precisely because of this section that Li Xiangping has a good understanding of his cousin and knows how much pressure he has been under in the last year. It is precisely because of this understanding that Li Xiangping agrees:

   "Okay, bro, since you said so, then I'll take the time to come."

   "Okay, okay, your game will be in 3 days, right? Then I'll make arrangements first, and I'll notify you after I contact Lao Xu."

   The two chatted again, and Li Weiping hung up the phone. After Li Xiangping also hung up the phone, Yaya saw that he had been silly, and couldn't help but asked curiously:

   "What makes you so happy?"

  Li Xiangping couldn't help but hugged his girlfriend and kissed him fiercely:

   "Hurry up, Yaya, come and hear it, sir, let me tell you, I made it this time. It's really like a fake bag for a big hair."

Li Xiangping, who was specially made by Dafafa, was going to play chess again. Two days later, he set off from the capital and went to the stadium one day earlier. This time, he did not go with Gu Dali, but chose to go with reporter Xie Zhangda and others. Set off.

   When Li Xiangping arrived at the airport, he saw that Lao Xie, Lao Jia, Zhang Da, reporter and others were already chatting enthusiastically, so Li Xiangping came up curiously:

   "Thank you, what are you talking about?"

   "Haha Xiangping arrived?"

   Lao Xie smiled and said to Li Xiangping:

   "We were saying just now, Xiangping, you can't be domineering anymore. If you continue to win like this, you may lose the game."

"what?"

   "Isn't that so,"

The old Jia on the side continued with a smile: "Xiangping, think about it, you have already relegated the United team last year, and this year will definitely be relegated again, and it may be downgraded by two levels. If you hold this game again next year, it is better to let it go. Let’s go first, it has to be first and second, if it’s just the first, it’s better.”

  Old Jia paused and said:

   "If you really let 2 players, do you think South Korea and Big Lee will come? I guess even if the organizer wants to continue the game, there is a high probability that they can only find more players younger than you."
