James Robinson looked hesitant when he heard Noah Scott's question.

Simon Westeros's previous stock index futures operation, one success may not be a big deal, two consecutive times can be said to be luck, but three consecutive times is enough to prove that the young man must have something to rely on.

In this case, if Lehman Brothers follows the trend, it will definitely get unexpected gains. As the CEO of American Express, the parent company of Lehman Brothers, James Robinson is definitely not short of adventurous spirit to be able to achieve his current position.

However, this kind of behavior is obviously the standard insider trading.

American Express bought Lehman Brothers three years ago to get into the long-planned world of investment banking.

Next, if the follow-up operation is really carried out, once the matter is revealed, Lehman Brothers will definitely be investigated by the SEC (Federal Exchange Commission), and the company's customers will also be lost in large numbers.

Most importantly, the rest of Wall Street's investment banks will not pass up the opportunity to drive a potentially formidable rival, American Express, out of the investment banking space.

but.

In just three and a half months, the principal of 75 million US dollars and the net profit of more than 200 million US dollars are really hard to resist.

You must know that, as a global financial and travel service company, American Express, with a current market value of more than $13 billion and more than 50,000 employees, only had a net profit of more than $180 million in the second quarter of 1987.

Obviously, a young man who is not yet 20 years old has been operating in the stock index futures market for more than three months, and the profit obtained has exceeded the quarterly profit of a corporate giant like American Express in the same period.

After weighing it for a few minutes, James Robinson could not resist this temptation after all, clapped the transaction records of Westeros Company in his hand, and said to Scott and his son: "I will discuss it with Paul on the board of directors over the weekend. , try to mobilize a sum of money before next Monday. Neil, you are responsible for this matter, Noah is in charge, and the two of you report directly to me personally. Remember, you must be cautious and cautious, you should all know this The consequences of what happened.”

...

Los Angeles.

Inside the Palisades mansion, Simon hung up on Noah Scott and leaned back in his leather chair thoughtfully.

Janet had just been sitting awkwardly on the large desk in front of Simon, holding a few reports from Noah Scott in her hand, dangling her two bare feet and looking at it with interest. .

Seeing Simon hang up the phone, Janet's toes leaned over and tapped on Simon's leg, and said, "Little bastard, I now believe that you can realize those three wishes in just a few years."

The thoughts that hadn't been gathered were interrupted. Simon just smiled and held the woman's little feet on his lap, scratching the center of her feet a few times, and said, "Didn't you believe it before?"

Janet smiled and pulled her feet back, and said, "Of course I believe it. But, I didn't expect you to make so much money. Our family, starting from my great-grandfather, has accumulated only about 100 years of wealth. Just $2 billion."

Simon said: "But I definitely don't have the ability to push the federal abolition of the estate tax, so your family is better."

When Simon and Janet's relationship came to light in the first half of the year, there were reports in the newspapers of the Johnston family's push to abolish inheritance tax in Australia. It can affect the fundamental tax system of a country, which is the real deep foundation.

Now, although he has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, once Simon's wealth is exposed, in the eyes of many people, he may be more likely to be just a 'fat sheep'.

Simon is very aware of this, too.

As a rebirth, accumulating wealth is not too difficult.

The easiest way, Microsoft's market cap is only around $1 billion right now. Simon bought Microsoft stock for $200,000, held it until 2000, sold it at the peak of Microsoft's $600 billion market cap, and instantly became a billionaire.

At $200,000, when the North American housing market bubble is still at its peak, many middle-class families can probably raise it as long as they sell their properties. But there is absolutely no way they would know that the money could make them billionaires more than a decade from now.

Simon knew.

However, if he simply grabs wealth, even if Simon earns 100 billion US dollars, if he lacks the social influence to match this wealth, then he will only be a 'fat sheep' at the level of hundreds of billions of dollars. That's it.

So Simon wasn't too complacent about the huge sum he made from the stock index futures market.

Just to get rid of the 'fat sheep' state, he still has a long way to go.

Janet saw Simon go silent, waited patiently for a moment, scratched her foot on the man's leg, and asked, "What are you thinking?"

Simon said the truth: "Fat sheep."

"Hehe," Janet laughed and said, "You feel it?"

Simon wondered: "What?"

"Noah," Janet blinked and said, "He's so diligent today, obviously there's something wrong with him."

When Simon heard Janet's reminder, he captured some of the thoughts in his mind just after hanging up the phone again, and immediately laughed, and said, "Three times in a row, $75 million turned to $278.56 million, if Lehman Brothers can If you don't follow up, Wall Street is not Wall Street

street. "

Janet asked, "Then what are you going to do?"

"As long as Lehman Brothers' operations don't affect our interests, it's fine for them to make some money," Simon said, then shook his head again, and said, "However, it seems unlikely."

If Lehman Brothers, which is backed by American Express, follows up, it will definitely exceed the principal of less than $300 million in Westeros' accounts.

If it has been a long-term operation at the moment, it may be nothing, and it will be followed up if it is followed up. But with the stock market crash at the end of October, things were certainly different.

In Simon's memory, in the 1987 crash, the US government's rescue measures were very timely and effective, and it only took a week for the North American stock market to stabilize. Moreover, the time the S\u0026P 500 bottomed at around 200 was even more brief.

The last short contract in the Westeros company's plan can only be closed at the bottom of 200 points to obtain the maximum profit. However, the single-day contract throughput of the stock index futures market is ultimately limited.

After the stock market crash, if Lehman Brothers also established a large number of short positions, they would definitely take the lead in arranging their own contracts to close their positions, and the contracts held by Westeros may only be able to trade after the index rebounds. At that time, the profit obtained will definitely shrink significantly.

Janet watched Simon ponder again, and didn't bother.

After thinking about it for a while, Simon said, "Leave this matter alone, let's wait until Pulp Fiction is finished."

In the plan, "Pulp Fiction" will be completed in mid-September, and Simon has half a month to operate.

Moreover, the matter of the movie is the most important thing to Simon.

Accumulating a lot of wealth, Simon must have considerable power if he wants to not be regarded as a 'fat sheep'.

Hollywood happens to be the powerful foundation of Simon's choice.

If he can take this film industry base with world-class influence into his pocket step by step, plus the huge wealth he has accumulated, Simon can truly get rid of his status as a "fat sheep" and become a big player who can control this country and the whole world.

Janet was a little puzzled when she heard Simon say this: "We can completely withdraw all the money in the futures account, and then Noah can find a corner to remove his tears."

"No," Simon shook his head and smiled. "To do this now is to tell them that we are going to change to a futures broker. Wall Street is actually so big, you don't think Lehman Brothers will be able to find us. Where do you open an account?"

Janet thought for a while, and said helplessly, "It seems, it's true."

...

Before I knew it, another weekend passed quickly.

Time has come to September.

Over the weekend, under the personal arrangement of James Robinson, the CEO of American Express, Lehman Brothers mobilized a one-time $500 million fund, intending to covertly follow the operation of Westeros.

However, what surprised Noah Scott was that compared to the previous three heavy positions, Simon only asked him to establish 6,000 short contracts between 337 and 330 in the new week, and it was 12 month's short contract.

The bulls turned to the bears, which was exactly what Noah Scott expected.

However, the short position of 6,000 contracts only occupies 30% of the funds in the Westeros company account, which is far lower than the 80% position ratio that has been maintained before. The leaders who had mobilized a lot of money and wanted to follow Simon to operate the insurance once were completely at a loss for a while.

The 30% position ratio is completely a very conservative long-term position strategy.

The whole of Wall Street now understands that after a five-year bull market, North American stocks will inevitably turn down. Therefore, the position of Westeros Company at this time is very similar to the closing behavior of making as much soup as it can after eating and drinking.

Is it.

Just as he was about to enter the venue, the feast was already over?

If it can't get huge profits in a short period of time, Express will definitely not be able to keep a huge sum of $500 million in a futures account for a long time.

Even, Noah Scott once doubted whether his dark disk operation was noticed by Simon, and the other party would do so. But that doesn't make sense either. If Simon senses that Lehman Brothers is going to follow suit, he will definitely change brokers.

There's no reason to put money that can be earned and not earn it.

Amid this hesitation, the first week of September was not over yet, and the North American stock market took a nosedive. In the following week, the S\u0026P 500 plunged from more than 330 points to around 310 points.

Still a 20-point drop.

With a contract multiplier of $500, the profit and loss figure for a single contract reaches $10,000.

As a result, in just one week, the paper profit of 6,000 short contracts in Westeros exceeded $60 million.

However, the paper profits in the Lehman Brothers account were more substantial, and Noah Scott opened a position exactly twice the size of Westeros. After Simon stopped opening positions, he couldn't resist buying another 3,000 contracts, bringing the short position in Lehman's account to 15,000 contracts.

In just one week, the paper earnings in Lehman Brothers' accounts exceeded $150 million.

However.

This time, Simon did not place a sell order.

Steady as a mountain relative to Simon

, the Scott father and son, who were personally responsible for this operation, could not calm down at all.

A profit of $150 million is almost equal to the quarterly net profit of the entire Express Company. And, most importantly, as the direct project leader and trader, such a profit also means that they will receive a huge year-end bonus.

Moreover, it would be fine if the S\u0026P 500 had been falling, but as the third Thursday in September, the final delivery day approached, the S\u0026P 500, which had plummeted, began to rise again.

The 15,000 contracts held by Lehman Brothers means that every 1 point rise or fall in the S\u0026P 500 represents a gain or loss of $7.5 million.

As a result, the S\u0026P 500 index began to rise step by step from 310 points, watching the '$7.5 million' disappear. When the S\u0026P 500 index rose back to a high of 320 points, Simon still did not issue any trading orders, including Amex CEO James Including Robinson, all the executives of American Express who knew about this operation could no longer calm down, and Noah Scott finally began to close his position.

But the S\u0026P 500's rally hasn't stopped.

By the time Lehman Brothers hurriedly completed the liquidation of 15,000 contracts, the S\u0026P 500 had risen to 326 points. The original profit of more than 150 million US dollars, the final profit of Lehman Brothers was only 56 million US dollars.

$56 million, which is obviously already a very substantial gain, but it is still too much of a reduction compared to the original $150 million in paper profit.

Then, the development of things again exceeded the expectations of everyone in the express company.

On September 17, the third delivery day of stock index futures in 1987, the S\u0026P 500 reached 328 points, but then it did not continue to rise, but began to fall again.

Not counting the following weekend, in just three trading days, like a roller coaster, the S\u0026P 500 fell from a high of 328 to 313 again.

at this time.

In the Westeros company account, there are still 6,000 contracts that do not move like a mountain, and the accumulated book profit is close to 60 million US dollars again.

Faced with this situation, Noah Scott, Nelson Scott and even James Robinson and others have completely felt overwhelmed.

What exactly happened?

Did that kid do it on purpose?

What will he do next?

Do you want to follow up now?

Los Angeles.

Unlike the roller coaster mood of Noah Scott and others, Simon, who had already expected the violent fluctuations in September, will basically try his best to invest in this period of time, except for reading some index rise and fall reports sent back from Chicago every day. To the final filming of Pulp Fiction.

Finally, Saturday, September 19th.

With only the last few shots left, the crew chose to work overtime on the weekend, and then, that afternoon, Simon's second film after returning to this era, was officially completed.
