Soul of the Golden State

Chapter 272 Legendary Deeds
August passed in the blink of an eye, and a lot happened during that time.

First of all, Li Weisi's opinion was ruthlessly rejected by Marisa. It's nothing to say. It would be strange if Marisa agreed!
Of course, Marisa did not ask Li Weisi to hug her afterwards, let alone Li Weisi to accompany her. Sulking alone for several days, it can be regarded as making Li Weisi happy for several days.

Then, both Li Weisi and Marisa's family members learned of Marisa's pregnancy.

After all, this matter can be delayed for a while, but not for a lifetime. No matter how you hide it, you will never be able to hide your growing belly and your ten-month-old child.

Fortunately, both Marisa's mother and Li Weisi's mother were surprised by Marisa's pregnancy, but when they learned that Marisa was going to give birth, they all expressed their support.

Other than that, she didn't really care much, let alone mobilize people to take care of Marisa, as if Marissa needed food and water as usual.

As for marriage, there was no mention of it.

On the contrary, Li Wantang was very nervous when he heard that Marisa was pregnant, so he came to Li Weisi and asked him when he planned to get married?
However, Li Weisi had no intention of getting married at all.

This made Li Wantang so angry that he thought to himself, how could the child he raised with great difficulty be polluted by the bad environment of the US emperor so quickly?

Such an irresponsible dog thing, if you don't clean it up now, will you pay it back in the future?

However, according to Li Wantang's physical fitness, it is still relatively difficult to hit Li Weisi. Even if Li Weisi lets Li Wantang have a leg, Li Wantang will not be able to catch up with Li Weisi.

Finally, Li Wantang said out of breath that he would put on his shoes and stop beating Li Weisi with them.

But later, when Li Wantang found out after meeting Marisa that Marisa was not planning to get married either, he was completely dumbfounded.

What do young people want to do now?All right to have a baby?

Feeling that the world had become beyond his comprehension, Li Wantang finally put the gift at home, told Li Weisi a few words, took care of Marisa, and then asked Li Weiguo to send him away.

And this farce between father and son has come to an end.

In the following days, Marisa also stayed at home to raise her baby with peace of mind. Every day, she should vomit, watch dramas, read books, and completely degenerate into a house girl.

As for Li Weisi, he is still training, and he seems to have become a good man who takes care of his family.

Unlike Li Weisi's regular life, Frank left for New York immediately after finishing the beauty pageant, ah bah, the cheerleading job.

Because he watches the sky at night, there will be major events happening in the near future, so he must sit on the front line.

Human beings are the most forgetful animals. They will not become rational after a few lessons, because greed will blind their eyes.

Since the stock market crash in 1929, for a long time, Quanmi’s talk of shares has changed.

But from the mid-20s, people's fear of the stock market began to fade away. Out of the desire for money and greed, the stock market became prosperous again.

Then the late 20s and the entire 50s were the "golden age" of economic development across the country. In this way, until the 60s, the U.S. stock market had a bull market that lasted for 80 years.

Since 1982, the trend of stock prices has continued to rise, and the trading volume has also increased rapidly. The speed of financial development has begun to surpass the development of global trade.

从1986年3月到1987年8月25日，道·琼斯指数一路飙升，从1686点跃升至2722.42点，投机出现了明显的过热。

It’s not that no one can’t see the risks in the stock market at this time, but as mentioned earlier, human beings are forgetful. After half a century of bull market, people have long forgotten the danger of the stock market crash in 1929.

In this atmosphere, Frank came to New York and found a trader he had known for a long time, named Nassim Nicholas Taleb.

This stock trader is only 27 years old this year. Frank met him by accident when he was selling stocks. After learning about this person, Frank entrusted most of his stock transactions to this trader. The trader was immediately on top of his game.

In this regard, it is not that no one has suggested to Frank that this trader is too young to operate such a large number of transactions, but Frank insisted on letting Taleb execute it, which made Taleb very grateful Frank.

The reason why Frank is so optimistic about this trader is naturally not just because he is very powerful.

There are quite a lot of deeds about his later generations, and they are also quite legendary, and his reputation in later generations is widely spread by people in the circle.

In the original time and space, he took advantage of the stock market crash in 87 to short the stock market in advance, and achieved financial freedom at a young age.

After that, he accurately predicted the Japanese financial crisis in 90 and the Asian financial crisis in 97.

In 98, he went to visit a friend who was a famous master of mathematical analysis and managed the famous long-term capital management company, or Itcm for short. At that time, the company calculated market fluctuations through a computer model developed by itself. The interest rate will drop, so they adopt a series of bold investment strategies on the main board.

At that time, Taleb asked the master, "What will happen if an unexpected event occurs in the bond market and the volatility rises?"

The master said to himself: "My mathematical model will not go wrong, unless the Russian government is financially bankrupt and unable to repay the national debt, otherwise it will make a profit without losing money."

Unexpectedly, a few months later, the Russian government really declared financial bankruptcy and refused to repay the due national debt, and the company went bankrupt.

In 01, a reporter from the Wall Street Journal interviewed Taleb and asked him to predict the future of the stock market. Generally speaking, the traders interviewed would say that the stock market is doing well, so don’t worry.

But Taleb said, "The future is unpredictable. No one knows what will happen in the market. Maybe a plane will crash into your office building soon."

Sure enough, a month later, a plane really hit the office building where the reporter was located. Yes, this office building is the World Trade Center.

And Taleb, before 911/[-], shorted the stock market a lot and made a lot of money.

In addition, he also wrote in the book "Anti-fragility": I discovered that a very strange and serious virus may spread on the earth.

How could Frank let go of such a trader who opened his mouth and seriously suspected that he was a time traveler?

After Frank found Taleb in August, he quietly began to sell some of the stocks he held, such as Microsoft, Apple and other high-quality stocks.

If it were an ordinary trader, Frank would be strongly advised not to do this, but Taleb didn't say anything, just obeying Frank's orders.

Because he also saw the risks in the stock market.
