Hello, 1983

After Liu Qingshan finished a day of schoolwork, he returned to his apartment. Before opening the door, he heard the phone ringing in the room.

He hurriedly opened the door and entered the house, answered the phone, and there was a questioning voice from Boss Huo:

Brother Qingshan, if you don't study hard in the United States and make such a big noise on Hong Kong Island, why don't you bring your brother to play with you?

Liu Qingshan was also a little confused by the question. After Boss Huo was chatting on the phone for a while, he finally understood.

It turned out that Da Shao Li had already agreed to bet against each other, but he also brought in the younger generation of several rich people on Hong Kong Island, and raised a total of one billion Hong Kong dollars to participate in this big bet.

Li Dashao also brought in HSBC to supervise the financial affairs and provide over-the-counter options for both parties. Now the whole Hong Kong Island is a sensation.

Holding the microphone, Liu Qingshan couldn't help but blink his eyes: It's such a big deal.

However, bigger is better.

Harvesting these rich people, he will not have a trace of psychological pressure.

If you really short Hong Kong stocks, those small investors, I don't know how many will jump off the building, which is not what they want.

But for those rich families, there is no problem of jumping off the building, it is just a matter of robbing the rich to help the poor.

At the beginning, Liu Qingshan also thought about pulling Huo Boss to do it together.

However, considering that the Huo family's relationship on Hong Kong Island is inextricably linked, he did not take the initiative to mention it. After all, it is easy to get revenge by stealing people's money, such as killing one's parents.

After listening to Liu Qingshan's explanation, Boss Huo felt much more at ease:

Hey, brother Qingshan, this time I'm going to take out 200 million to accompany you and play with those little guys.

Don't worry, my Huo family is on Hong Kong Island, so I don't have to look at other people's faces!

After the communication on the phone, Liu Qingshan brought another ally. As a result, the funds on their side already amounted to 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

To bet against Li Dashao and the others, they had to use double leverage.

Anyway, HSBC has the bottom line, so he doesn't have to worry about not getting the money.

As for the risk of using leverage, for Liu Qingshan, there is no risk.

After dinner, Liu Qingshan received another call from Hong Kong Island. This time, it was from Pan Famous Brand, which deals in luxury goods.

As soon as they came up, the other party was also in a tone of guilt: Brother Qingshan, why don't you bring me to play with such an interesting thing?

Now all the young talents on Hong Kong Island have joined this gamble and put me aside. I am very shameless.

To tell the truth, Liu Qingshan's friendship with this famous brand Pan is far from that of Boss Huo, so he will not take the initiative to call him.

After some exchanges, Pan Mingpai is also willing to come up with 100 million Hong Kong dollars to join Liu Qingshan's camp.

It made Liu Qingshan not understand: Why do these people have so much confidence in themselves?

So he couldn't help but ask, Brother Pan, aren't you afraid that all this money will go to waste?

I'm optimistic about you. Pan Mingpai happily put down the phone.

Then the Yang Xingxing who had been waiting next to him stepped forward and took his arm: Dison, do you trust that person so much?

Pan Mingpai gave his girlfriend a kiss on the face: I am really optimistic about him, and even if we lose the bet, we will not lose.

Yang Xingxing blinked, not understanding.

Famous Pan continued to laugh and said, This bet has already caused a sensation in Hong Kong. I joined it, and it is the best promotion for my luxury store. Just think of it as spending money to advertise.

So that's the case, I know, Dickson, you are the best. Yang Xingxing also smiled.

Famous Pan was so itchy when he saw it, he leaned against his girlfriend's ear and gently bit her earlobe: I'm better there.

After he finished speaking, he picked up Yang Xingxing by the waist and walked towards the bedroom.

Pan's famous brand is turning over the clouds and the rain, while Liu Qingshan is crawling hard.

He is writing a thesis.

This is the most influential professor in the School of Economics, Peter, who released an assignment for students to express his views on the current stock market.

Liu Qingshan just wanted to find a theoretical basis for his next actions, so he wrote it very carefully.

He even went to the library to check the materials for several days, and took out the big stock market crash in the United States in 1929 for comparison.

With the conclusion, the rest is to find the theoretical basis, which is relatively easy.

The title of the thesis was finally set as: On the Resilience of Capital Markets to Major Corrections.

Yang Yang's 10,000-word paper, through detailed data and careful analysis, finally came to an astonishing conclusion: In the near future, the US stock market will usher in another major stock market crash.

When this paper was placed on Professor Peter's desk, the white-haired old professor was also slightly shocked.

As a member of the Presidential Think Tank, Professor Peter has experienced too many major events, especially at the national economic level.

Professor Peter also felt a little flustered about the current extreme prosperity of the stock market, so he arranged such a paper.

Unexpectedly, there are students who have made predictions of major stock market disasters. This is a bit too alarmist, right?

Professor Peter loves those down-to-earth students, and never suppresses the students' genius ideas, but he never likes this kind of students who deliberately create shocking information.

Let me see, who is the top student, I will consider giving him a Fail. The professor muttered while flipping through the author's name.

In the universities here, the grades are as follows: A is excellent, B is good, C is average, D is passing, and F is failing.

Liu, it's that composer from the East, oh, he should go to the conservatory instead of studying economics here!

Professor Peter wrote a big F on the paper.

At this time, the assistant led a few people to knock on the door. Professor Peter saw the people coming and immediately went up to hug them one by one:

Oh, Soros, and Rogers, welcome, my old friends.

These people were invited by Professor Peter to give lectures to those college students. This situation is very common in universities in the United States.

Invited objects include professionals and even celebrities.

Peter, you should hold an economic forum so that you can have more influence. Soros and Peter were old friends for many years, so they sat on the professor's chair just now without any hesitation.

Professor Peter also smiled and said: Your proposal is very good, so it's settled, please our Mr. Soros, donate 200,000 US dollars in sponsorship every year.

No problem, let's start from this year. Soros was not stingy at all.

Don't look at this Mr. Soros's reputation in the financial market is very bad, but before the rise of Bill Gates, Soros was the person with the largest number of charitable donations in the United States.

No wonder some people say he is half angel, half devil.

Rogers also came up to make fun: Then it should have a relatively high-end name. It sounds like the world's top one. How about calling it the Economist High-end Summit?

Everyone couldn't help laughing, but Professor Peter was more rigorous: If we start the first summit this year, will it be too hasty, we haven't prepared the topic yet.

Soros picked up a note from his desk: Peter, this paper you assigned to the students is very suitable for discussion. The stock market is too hot right now.

After he finished speaking, he picked up another thick stack of manuscript papers and flipped through them casually: Hey, someone actually sings about the stock market. For such a paper, he must be given an F.

I see, George, you are too optimistic. We must always be in awe of the stock market, not just use it as a tool to make money.

Rogers also took it and started reading. His views, unlike Soros, also felt that the current US stock market was too frothy.

On the other hand, Rogers also picked out the opinions he agreed with from time to time and read out a few sentences, which seemed to be quite appreciative.

After reading it roughly, he said to Professor Peter seriously: Professor, I think this paper should be given an A. It may be a wake-up call for all investors.

Professor Peter's face also became serious. He felt that he might be a little biased just now. After all, this is a controversial paper, and it is not easy to draw conclusions.

Soros didn't think so: No, this little guy obviously wants to attract the attention of the professor on purpose, and then get a high score. Let me see, who is this scheming little guy?

After seeing the signature, Soros immediately widened his eyes and whistled softly: Wow, Rogers, look who this little guy is?

Liu, it sounds like an international student from China. Rogers didn't know Liu Qingshan in detail, so he only knew his English name.

Soros held the paper like a treasure: It's that young man named Mountain. I can't help it. I want to refute his paper as a piece of shit.

Seeing his tens-year-old friend become as excited as a hairy boy, Rogers couldn't help but shrug his shoulders:

Oh, old man, your revenge is too strong.

Liu Qingshan didn't know that he had been missed by others. As usual, he had breakfast and went to school.

In the morning, there was a big class of Professor Peter, and the professor announced a message: ask his students to attend the forum tomorrow.

He also specifically emphasized that there will be several well-known economists, including Wall Street investors.

After class, the students were very excited.

In the past two years, as U.S. stocks have risen sharply, many top students from prestigious universities who were originally disdainful of doing odd jobs on Wall Street have also put on suits, ties, and oiled hair to become Wall Street analysts or traders.

Now I hear that seniors from Wall Street are coming to give lectures. Of course, these students who are eager to get rich, of course, seem to be fighting chicken blood.

Listening to the chatter around him, Liu Qingshan was not very interested, packed up his belongings and prepared to leave.

He is not going to attend tomorrow's summit. If there is time, he might as well study by himself in the classroom.

Liu, wait a minute, tomorrow's forum, I hope to see your figure, otherwise...you know.

Professor Peter's words came from behind, Liu Qingshan could only helplessly shrug his shoulders, and responded with an OK, no way. This Professor Peter, nicknamed The Great Emperor, means tyrant.

The forum on the second day was held in a large lecture hall, which could accommodate thousands of people. Students of several grades from the School of Economics filled the room early.

The layout of the front desk is also very interesting. There are even two rows of chairs, facing each other, which is a bit like a ring.

When the time came, Professor Peter took the stage and began to introduce the guests present today: Let us welcome the most successful investor on Wall Street, Mr. George Soros.

Wow! There was an exclamation from below, followed by warm applause, accompanied by the click of the camera, and there were even ubiquitous reporters entering the arena.

These young students worship successful people and wealth, and Soros is such an incarnation.

Then several heavyweights came on stage one after another.

Finally, let's welcome Mr. Jim Rogers.

Professor Peter took the lead in applauding, and the following applauded as well. For a freelance investor like Rogers, he is the idol of their students studying economics.

After Rogers also bowed, he did not sit with Soros and the others, but sat on the row of chairs opposite them. For the time being, he was alone.

After sitting down, Rogers looked around and said into the microphone: I think this is very unfair, so I need to find allies and partners.

Professor Peter, can you sit next to me?

There was a chuckle in the lecture hall.

No, Jim, I'm the chairman of the meeting, or you can use me as a referee. Professor Peter also spread his hands exaggeratedly, causing another round of laughter.

Rogers shook his head: It seems that I have to find my teammates by myself.

His eyes looked towards the hall.

Immediately below, it boiled, swish, and countless arms were raised high.

If you can pair up with Mr. Rogers in a debate match, it will definitely blow for years.

Students, please don't get excited. Today's forum, Mr. Rogers's point of view is to bet against US stocks. Professor Peter added quickly.

With a swish, as if hearing a password, all those arms fell.

What a joke, the stock market is thriving and thriving now, how can it fall.

Even if someone wanted to show off, they immediately dismissed the idea:

How to say after you go up, you can't open your eyes and talk nonsense. In that case, Professor Peter, who has always been known as the emperor, will definitely give you a failure.

Rogers on stage was also quite capable, and immediately put his hands on his head: Oh, haven't you heard that the truth is often in the hands of a few people.

Then I can only take the roll call, Professor Peter, can you give me the roll call? Rogers continued to talk nonsense on the stage.

Professor Peter also shook his head cooperatively: No, only professors have the right to be named.

With a burst of soft laughter, Rogers suddenly took out a stack of paper from his briefcase, and wiped his forehead: Fortunately, I was prepared.

This classmate's point of view coincides with mine, and it is just right to be my teammate.

Qingshan-Liu, come on, let's fight together.

who is it? Most of the students began to look around.

Then they saw a handsome Asian student standing up and walking forward with a look of helplessness.
