Society owes me a brother

After the Entrepreneurship Summit, Lu Chi submitted his graduation thesis to Stanford—a global economic observation report with a strong Lu Chi style.In this graduation thesis, Lu Chi once again emphasized that he was not optimistic about subordinated bonds and securities, and used detailed data to deduce that once housing prices fell, the hot sale of subordinated bonds in the secondary market would attract investors. Big crisis.

However, Lu Chi's report still hasn't attracted the attention of the society—or because of the interference and advocacy of some capital, more people think that Lu Chi's views are alarmist—no one believes that China, a country with a powerful economy, will Encountered the kind of thing that Lu Chi predicted.

"China is the strongest country in the universe, and the most powerful economy in the world. It's not those listed companies that cheat financially because of deficit accounts..." Many people dismissed Lu Chi's speculation: "That Huaxia Do people want to say that China's housing prices will collapse because of these subprime bonds?"

"He wants to short Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? That's the craziest joke I've ever heard..."

"Huaxia people are fascinated by the past success, and they are starting to sensationalize..."

"I think that Huaxia person has a strong ambition and class structure. He must not want those low-income families and more ethnic groups to buy houses in China and live a better life, so he rejects subprime loans so much... ..."

"I heard that his Leap Deer Fund will not recommend subordinated bonds to clients at all. Even if some clients want to buy subordinated bonds, he is not in favor..."

"It's normal. The customers of Leap Deer Fund have always been those high-income executives and big capitalists, as well as those second-generation rich people who are not proficient in financial management. These people are not the main group of people who buy subprime loans at all. I think This is the fundamental reason why Huaxia has repeatedly rejected stimulus bonds - he does not want poor low-income families to be his customers..."

"It's simply nonsense!" Yue Bin angrily put down the financial newspaper of the day and said indignantly, "I think that sentence is so true, you will never be able to Wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep! These people clearly know the dangers of subprime loans, just to make a little more money, they even bribed those economists to talk nonsense in their columns, and they want to guide public opinion to discredit you."

"That's not a little money!" Matthew Locke, who was having breakfast at the Stanford apartment, smiled and pointed out the inaccuracies in Yue Bin's words: "In fact, since banks and those lending institutions launched subprime debt, The ase-shiller housing price index is on the rise, and housing prices in California, Florida, Nevada and other regions have also risen by more than 50%. The subprime bonds that have just appeared on the market are very popular among low-income groups and minorities who cannot afford houses. Welcome - it's been sold like crazy. In this case, ordinary people can't see the future you said, their eyes are only limited to the rising house prices every day..."

Holding a spoon in one hand and chopsticks in the other, Matthew Locke gave everyone an example: "On the one hand, there are the economic crisis and the collapse of the housing market advocated by the rich who do not lack houses, and on the other hand, the rising housing prices and limited opportunities to buy houses. There's nothing wrong with being bigger...if you're a low-income head of household with a wife and kids who've been homeless for a long time, but now you have the opportunity to buy your own home, you have the opportunity to make your The family lives a more stable life. The crisis we are facing is that the national housing market that no one cares about or believes will collapse...Which one would you choose?"

Yue Bin was choked speechless.I can only say indignantly: "Of course I believe in Lu Chi's point of view. Don't you believe it?"

"My God!" Matthew Locke sighed exaggeratedly, shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "Of course I want to believe Lu's point of view. After all, he is a man who has created many miracles. But I can't help it." Don't admit it... this is a country!"

"Even if Lu has always believed that the popularity of subprime loans will cause the country's housing price crisis, I still believe that even if there is a real crisis, the country will not let things get too troublesome to deal with!"

That's right, Matthew Locke expressed the aspirations of many Wall Street people-even if subprime loans do cause small fluctuations in the housing market, everyone is not too afraid.Because they are confident that Wall Street can control the country's economic situation - because Wall Street has already controlled the lifeline of the global economy!

Therefore, there is no need to be afraid of the subprime mortgage crisis advocated by the Huaxia people. When the subprime mortgage crisis really occurs, we will short Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and make another profit. This is the mentality of most Wall Street speculators.

Yue Bin sighed helplessly, that sentence is really true - you really can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep - as long as the person who pretends to be asleep doesn't see the house collapse with his own eyes!

A week after the graduation thesis was handed in, the school notified Lu Chi to go back to defend.Although it was a defense, considering Lu Chi's keen insight and influence in the economic field, as well as his strong achievements in the financial field, the entire defense almost turned into a professor-level discussion.The focus of the discussion was naturally "the impact of subprime loans on the country's economy." Some professors held the same point of view as Lu, while other professors who firmly believed that "China is the most economical body in the universe" held the opposite view.During Lu Chi's defense, everyone discussed heatedly, quarreled with each other, quoted scriptures, and each stood for his own point of view.In the end, of course no one can convince anyone——

Lu Chi knew this a long time ago, you will never be able to convince anyone with firm beliefs with words.The easiest and most convenient way is naturally to wait for things to happen.Lion shit is better than bear shit after all

But even so, Lu Chi's defense score is still the highest in the school.Because the defense process was too exciting, the school agreed that it should not be wasted.After obtaining Lu Chi's consent, Stanford University posted Lu Chi's defense video on the school's official website.There is no need to talk about the academic discussions in the field of economics caused by this—since Lu Chi has been serving as a teaching assistant and lecturer for the course "Financial Mathematics" since his sophomore year, the school does not want to lose such an excellent and well-connected person With extensive teaching resources, Chi Lu was invited to be a professor in the Department of Economics and Finance of Stanford University as soon as he received his excellent diploma.

However, Lu Chi has always wanted to return to China for development after graduation, and has been busy shifting the investment focus of Leap Deer Fund to Huaxia recently. He thinks that he does not have enough time to teach and educate people, so he can only decline the school's invitation.

The school disagreed with Lu Chi's insistence.Professor George Walker, who was in charge of communicating with Lu Chi, said straight to the point: "I don't believe that you will completely give up your career in China. Even if you want to return to China for development, you will not let Leap Deer Fund withdraw from the foreign market. To cite one of the most obvious example, don’t you still want to be in the empty housing market?”

"Then be a visiting professor at Stanford. At the end of each academic year, return to school for one and a half to two months, responsible for instructing graduating students how to enter Wall Street, how to get offers from the top five investment banks and top ten funds." George Volker Blinking at Lu Chi, he said with a narrow smile, "Me, this is also the job that best meets your expectations and needs."

Can you take the lead in recruiting outstanding Stanford graduates to the Leap Deer Fund?

Lu Chi smiled and gladly accepted the invitation from his alma mater.

In the next few days, Lu Chi, who had completely ended his student career, handed over some of the work that had to be done in the country to others.With the help of Matthew Locke and Zhang Yang, two social masters, the little prince of the party held an extremely rare weekend party. After saying goodbye to friends in Silicon Valley and Wall Street, as well as business partners, he carried his suitcase Fly back to Huaxia.

After returning to the motherland after four years, I originally wanted to take this opportunity to take a good rest.Unexpectedly, the news that Leap Deer Fund has shifted its investment focus to China has been known to everyone a few months ago.So much so that the boss Lu Chi received "harassing calls" from all sides as soon as he returned to China.Some are looking for investment, some want to make contacts, and some want to find out the bottom of the river. There are all kinds of people, and they are so annoying that they simply transfer all the calls to Yue Bin's mobile phone, and then apply for another card by themselves. Telephone numbers are distributed to close relatives, friends and business associates.

Such willful behavior is simply breathtaking.It also makes those who want to cling to and befriend Lu Chi realize the "rich and willful" of this tens of billions of Wall Street tycoon before they meet!

But no matter how "rich and willful" the boss is, there are times when he hits the south wall——

He has just graduated from university, is 22 years old, and he is in the prime of his life. Lu Chi, who can be called a little fresh meat, has just arrived home for a few days. Anyway, in Lu Chi's opinion, he just bought a house and hasn't finished the decoration yet. , stayed at the parents' house and hadn't fully enjoyed the precious treatment that returnees should have, but encountered Lu's parents and mothers' fancy marriage urging from side-stepping to indiscriminate bombardment!

"I said son! Didn't you think about finding a girlfriend when you were in college?"

"I want to study hard and improve every day! I don't have time to find a girlfriend!" So I found a boyfriend!The kind who can study, earn money, cook, do housework, and patiently coax me!

"Then you're all graduated now. Shouldn't you—"

"I want to work hard and work hard to make money!" Then raise my boyfriend!

"How much money does that mean? Besides, our family is not short of money now. Your father and I just want to watch you get married and have children, and then take care of your grandchildren at home..."

"The logistics company and gourmet resort at home are gone? Aren't you and my dad busy with the integration of production and sales? The industrial chain drives the development of the whole village to get rich together. Now you want to let go of the third uncle, you know?"

Lu's father and Lu's mother were choked and had nothing to say, so they could only emphasize: "That's what your mother and I meant. You just need to understand."

Lu Chi blinked, and changed the subject very wittyly: "By the way, what happened to Xiaoheng and Linxuan? I heard something happened to the Wei family again?"

Lu's father and Lu's mother's attention was immediately diverted, and they sighed and said, "Hey, their family, I really can't say... Uncle Wei was messing around with the male secretary in the office, and he happened to be touched by Mr. Wei and the shareholders of the group. Suddenly, Mr. Wei had a heart attack and went straight into the operating room. The stock price of Wei Group dropped immediately. The Wei family wanted Linxuan and his father to take over the Wei Group, but they didn't know what to do Yao Mozi. Anyway, neither Linxuan nor his father agree..."

Lu Chi raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "That's what the Wei family deserves."

As he said that, Lu Chi, who was playing with the computer, clicked on the stock page of Wei's Group, gloatingly looking at the roller coaster stock chart of Wei's Group——

"Huh?" Lu Chi leaned forward and carefully looked at the ups and downs of the curve, as well as the turnover rate and trading volume displayed next to it.

"It's interesting!"

"Dad! Mom! I'm going to live at Xiaoheng's house! I have something to discuss, and I won't be back for a while!" Lu Chi closed the computer and quickly slipped into the bedroom to pack his clothes.Without waiting for Lu's father and mother to respond, they ran out with the suitcase.

"Hey, it's so late, you should finish your dinner before leaving—" Mother Lu, wearing an apron, rushed out of the kitchen with a spatula in one hand and a rolling pin in the other, only in time to see the anti-theft door shut with a bang: "This Child, this is disgusting and nagging at me!"

"Really! Who do you think I am nagging for? Isn't it for them? They are all big and small, and no one wants to fall in love or get married. You say that if this is all If we don’t get married, where are we going to hold our grandchildren? Almost half of the people in our village who are about my age are already grandmas. I said why you don’t know how to worry at all. Just let me sing the white face when I co-author Bar……"

Then there are so many people in our village, yet our family has a big star and a rich man worth tens of billions of gold!

Father Lu, who was croquetting meatballs in the kitchen, buttoned his ears calmly: "Don't cook that piece of beef, may I replace it with spinach stewed pig's blood?"

Mother Lu asked angrily, "Why?"

"Soothing the liver and smoothing the Qi!"
