Rebirth starts with small money

Chapter 575 Invitation to the Auction

"Boss, what do you mean by Mr. Liu?"

"Is he really planning to short Nasdaq with us?"

The dinner ended quickly, and when the boss Liu sent a driver to take Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing back to the hotel, Mu Xiaoqing couldn't wait to ask.

Naturally, she has an urgent reason. After all, a big shot like this Mr. Liu has started shorting Nasdaq. If not, it will trigger a corresponding chain reaction.

Although this kind of chain reaction~ may be good news for the side that is also shorting Nasdaq, but the chain reaction brought out by this kind of boss may also have the opposite effect!
For example, according to Chen Li and Mu Xiaoqing's previous predictions, this time the Nasdaq index is estimated to fall below 2000 points, or even lower.

But what if this big guy Liu is halfway short, suddenly feels that the Nasdaq index has fallen to the bottom, and then takes advantage of the trend to buy the bottom.

Then this change may cause the capital market to have an unexpected ending.

Although that Mr. Liu may not have too much money, at least it is nothing to the entire capital market, but the problem is that this guy is too famous in the Hong Kong stock market, and this guy is very good at using The pressure of public opinion creates an advantage for oneself.

The reason why this guy was called a stock market sniper back then was because he was so slick with this skill!

If this guy thinks that the Nasdaq is in the bottom, he can just make a big bargain, maybe it will really make some noise.

Of course~ To be honest, Mu Xiaoqing doesn't feel that this Mr. Liu can leverage the huge impact brought about by the bursting of the Internet bubble, but what if?
In the capital market, sometimes an accident may cause huge changes, so Mu Xiaoqing is a little worried.

Because she knows very well that although her boss is very kind and even courageous, she may be more cautious in character than others.

Well. Okay!You can't let Mu Xiaoqing say that your boss is timid, right?

And to be honest, Mu Xiaoqing didn't think her boss's personality was bad. She had worked in the financial industry for many years and had seen too many people fall into the ups and downs of the capital market because of their self-confidence.

But this time, Mu Xiaoqing still misunderstood Chen Li.

"It doesn't matter, let him go short!"

"There are many short-sellers now, and he is not one behind!"

Chen Li replied casually, but his attention was on an invitation card in his hand.

The reason why Chen Li seemed so confident this time was naturally because he knew that the US stock market at this moment could not be saved by a big brother Liu at all.

Not to mention the boss Liu, even Bill Gates and Buffett can't save them.

Speaking of Buffett, Chen Li really admires this old man, because the Internet bubble crisis in 2000 did not affect him at all.

Before the dot-com bubble burst, Buffett was once criticized for not trusting Internet technology stocks.

You know~ At that time, Internet technology stocks were the craziest, and it was also the time when the Internet bubble was gradually growing.

Countless people have become rich because of Internet technology stocks, but Buffett, who is regarded as the god of the stock market, does not trust Internet technology stocks.

This makes many people think that Buffett is old, and even many people think that Buffett is useless.

Then when the Internet bubble burst, the same group of people suddenly felt that Mr. Buffett was amazing, and a bunch of people began to worship Buffett again.

So, although Buffett is not as amazing as in many novels and news reports, this old man does have two brushes.

But even he~ after the emergence of the Internet bubble crisis, actually expressed his optimistic intentions for the U.S. stocks that had fallen badly at that time, but the capital market environment at this time is simply beyond the reach of anyone.

The only thing that can save this financial turmoil is time!

Yes~ only time, because even though the United States worked overtime to print dollars, it took a long time for Nasdaq to slow down.

As a result, before the breath was fully relieved, it ran into the financial crisis that almost swept the world because of the subprime mortgage crisis in 07.

As for Bill Gates, let alone, we must know that the bursting point of this Internet bubble crisis was triggered by the Microsoft antitrust case.

Even because of this antitrust case, Bill Gates even gave up the position of CEO.

So. Although Chen Li admits that the boss Liu is really good, but he wants to leverage the results of this Internet crisis, Chen Li can only say that there are possibilities~ but definitely not many.

And to be honest, after experiencing the previous miss, Chen Li is still much more courageous now than before.

Because he found that although his own butterfly may have an impact on some things in a small area, it will not have too much impact on this kind of global impact.

At the very least~ he can affect some details at most, and doesn't have much influence on the ending.

Therefore, Chen Li still felt that the Nasdaq index would still plummet like in his previous life, but the data of the plunge might have some changes.

Assuming that the Nasdaq index plummeted to 1000 points in the previous life, it may plummet to 500 points or 1500 points now.

So~ as long as you grasp this range well, even if it's just an estimate. Chen Li also believes that he won't be caught.

And to be honest, if it really fell to that data, Chen Li would have already made a lot of money, even if the capital market has repeatedly hit the sky, it is the difference between earning more and earning less.

Therefore, Chen Li was more curious about the invitation that Big Brother Liu gave him than the fact that Big Brother Liu was going to enter Nasdaq.

That's right~ The invitation in Chen Li's hand at the moment was an invitation sent out by the boss Liu just now, and then his assistant gave it to Chen Li.

Of course, this is not a wedding invitation. The boss Liu has been a romantic all his life. After his original wife divorced him, this buddy will never get married in a short time.

Therefore, the invitation in Chen Li's hand is actually an invitation from an auction house.

This is an auction house that will be held next month~in fact, it will be held in a few days, but unlike the auctions held by those auction houses, this time the auction house is regarded as the private collection auction of the boss Liu himself.

Alright~ Although Big Brother Liu has the name of a collector of beauties on his head, in fact he collects more than just beauties.

This big guy Liu has a wide range of hobbies. Wenwan ~ antiques ~ even some contemporary artworks are all big guy Liu's hobbies for collecting.

It's just that compared to these, those female stars are more famous.

In fact, almost all rich people in Hong Kong City seem to have this habit. Almost every rich man likes to collect some cultural, antique and artwork.

After all, this thing is not only a hobby, but also an investment.

Speaking of which, when China was in turmoil, many antique treasures and even national treasure-level works of art from the previous dynasty or even earlier periods were left in the Hong Kong City.

But when Chen Li received this invitation, he was still a little puzzled.

After all, he really doesn't like these things!

When he was in Yanjing, it was not that Chen Li had not received similar invitations.After all, he was a rich man. When those auction houses held large auctions, they would naturally invite rich people like Chen Li.

Last year, Chen Li met a manager of a well-known auction house. Just a few days after exchanging business cards, the other party invited him to the autumn auction of that auction house. But at that time, Chen Li was not only not interested in these things, but And he didn't have the money to shoot these things.

At that time, Chen Li was raising funds to enter the capital market. He wished others would give him money, so why would he spend money on things that didn't make much sense to him.

Chen Li has always felt that the most suitable place for so-called antique works of art is a museum.

After all, the dust of history carried by these antiques can only be known to the public in places like museums.

It's definitely a silly thing to put in the private collection room of a rich man.

Of course~ many rich people buy these things, not necessarily purely for collection, there are many things in it. In fact, they are not known to outsiders.

Some consumers, in the eyes of ordinary people, think that those rich people are simply out of their minds, but in fact, they can become rich, so how can they be fools.

Just like many people think why rich people like to buy luxury cars and mansions, but in fact they may not know the money to buy these things. It may be in the name of the company under the name.

As for why. Guess?

Anyway, Chen Li didn't understand it before, but now...he really understands the tricks.

And the most extreme thing is that it is even reasonable and legal to do so, but it may be somewhat unethical.

No~ To put it bluntly, as long as it is not a public enterprise, it is not even a moral issue.

Can you think of when Chen Li bought a car for Liu Qingqing before? Did Su Mei, who oversees the company's finances, call Chen Li stupid?
Because Chen Li can use the name of Ideal Food to buy a good car and give it to Liu Qingqing to drive.

Moreover, this is not only good for Chen Li, but also good for ideal food.

The more ridiculous thing is that this thing is almost a common practice in the industry, and even Su Mei, a shareholder, thinks it is a normal phenomenon.

Now Su Mei is driving a Mercedes-Benz S series, which was also purchased by Ideal Foods, but in fact that car is Su Mei's personal car.

On the contrary, it was Chen Li, the big boss behind the scenes, who drove a Cherokee he bought with his own money.

Of course, this is not to say how noble Chen Li is, but that he really didn't understand these twists and turns before.

Chen Li was an ordinary person in his previous life, and he could only get familiar with and learn slowly about those tricks in the business circle.

Just like the invitation in his hand at the moment, Chen Li has no interest in preaching theory.

But~ when the boss Liu sent him the invitation, he deliberately mentioned that he not only invited Chen Li, but also invited many wealthy people in Hong Kong City.

To put it bluntly~ this auction is definitely not just an ordinary auction, but also a networking venue.

The people who can participate in this auction are all the rich and powerful people in Hong Kong City. If Chen Li wants to make friends with these people on weekdays, they probably won't even talk to him.

But now, this opportunity is in front of Chen Li. This is obviously a support from the boss Liu to Chen Li.

It's just that Chen Li doesn't like such occasions, and secondly, he doesn't like the boss Liu.

So~ at this moment, Chen Li is very conflicted!

In fact, Chen Li knew very well that he couldn't refuse this auction, and he couldn't even refuse, but he just felt a little awkward in his heart.

This awkwardness didn't even come from the outside world, but he was a little annoyed at himself. He wasn't tough enough.

At the very least~ the current Chen Li is not strong enough, he does not have enough capital to refuse an invitation from a superior person.

If it was put in a few years later, if Chen Li didn't want to go at that time, he could simply refuse the other party.

But now he can only continue to be "awkward"!
"Hey~!"

"Find me a tailor!"

"Give me some more money and let them make me a suit that fits me within five days."

Chen Li looked at the invitation in his hand again, and after confirming the time again, he looked at Mu Xiaoqing who was opposite.

Although Zhang Ruolan was his assistant, it was obvious that Mu Xiaoqing was more familiar with Hong Kong City than Zhang Ruolan.

When Chen Li came to Hong Kong City this time, he actually didn't expect to stay that long, and he didn't really like the so-called suits and leather shoes on weekdays.

Because it is July now, most of the clothes Chen Li brought to Hong Kong this time were shorts and T-shirts.

Of course~ In order to avoid unexpected situations, Chen Li still brought a shirt and suit.

But obviously, the shirt and suit he bought from a second-tier domestic brand must not be able to attend the auction.

But there is no way, after all, he never thought that he would have the opportunity to go to such a high-end occasion.

Although, it is estimated that even if he goes there, he will be a soy sauce existence, but Chen Li still needs to pay attention to his own image.

Of course~ Chen Li can actually ignore it and just do what he feels comfortable with.

Just like Ma Xiaoyun in his previous life, he often attends various occasions in shorts and a T-shirt.

But... again, the current Chen Li doesn't have the capital to do so.

Ma Xiaoyun did this in his previous and later life, that was when he had already sat on the throne of the richest man in China.

At that time, Ma Xiaoyun was down-to-earth if he dressed like that, but now Chen Li would be impolite if he dressed like that!

And to be honest, it's time for Chen Li to have a set of high-end clothes of his own.

Anyway, he is now a super rich man worth billions, and he can't even afford a decent suit. This is somewhat unreasonable.

Mu Xiaoqing would naturally not object to Chen Li's request, after asking a few acquaintances he met recently.
Chen Li almost scolded her on the spot!

"No. How much?"

"20?"

"Fuck!"
