Chapter 296： short, from now on

With the concerted efforts of James Cameron and the crew, "Unsinkable" was finally completed before Christmas.

In order to allow the film to successfully complete post-production, as early as September, special effects production had already begun, and Cameron's special effects company "Digital Domain" was solely responsible for it.

Mel Gibson flew back to Australia to spend Christmas with his wife and kids, but soon, he'll be back in New York to make up parts of Mr. and Mrs. Smith.

Fortunately, such intensive work has become accustomed to Mel Gibson. Just like the model worker Jack Chen, he never took a vacation.

Dunn was invited by Shirley Hirschler to travel to New York to spend this Christmas with Natalie's family.

Throughout the United States, the festive atmosphere is very grand, and there are Christmas trees and Santa Claus decorations everywhere, but Dunn has no idea, Christmas is just a symbol to him.

Therefore, at the end of this year, it is false to go to New York for the holidays, and it is true to take stock of Dunn Capital's revenue for one year.

This year, Dunn's expenses... a little big!

The original capital of Dunn Capital is 4.25 billion US dollars, but in the past 8 months, Dunn's expenditure on industrial investment has reached as high as 1.52 billion US dollars!

Among them, the real estate investment is the largest, with a total expenditure of 450 million US dollars in the headquarters park of Tangen Films, Mid-level Manor, townhouses, and luxury high-rise apartments;

The investment of three technology companies, Apple, PayPal and Netflix, has a total expenditure of 420 million US dollars;

In the film industry, Dunn Capital invested in Legendary Pictures and Pixar at a cost of $290 million;

The toy industry, with stakes in Hasbro and mga, spending $90 million;

Investment in luxury goods, including private jets, luxury yachts, private cars... The total expenditure also reached 260 million US dollars. (see note)

This huge sum of money, Tang En earned from the futures market, almost went to prison, just to acquire Universal Pictures, which played a vital role in the development of Tang En's career in Hollywood.

It cost 1.52 billion US dollars in more than 8 months, which is outrageous!

Of course, now is a bubble crisis, and for Dunn, who has clear information on the stock market trend, there is a lot of room for profit. Scott Swift, at his behest, continued to bet against two stocks -- Yahoo and Cisco.

The effect is not as good as he imagined.

Not to mention a free market economy, with the local crisis in technology stocks driving a wider economic crisis, the Financial Supervision Bureau of the Ministry of Justice has been closely monitoring the stock market, futures market, and bond market for the past six months.

Especially Nasdaq!

As a result, Dunn Capital is short of Yahoo and Cisco. It cannot act recklessly as it did at the beginning of the year, and its scale is limited.

Even someone from the Department of Justice came to the door to talk to Scott Swift alone.

Although there is no clear request to prohibit large-scale shorting of individual stocks, several innuendo hints still show the attitude of the federal government.

Keep it steady!

If a tough financial tycoon like Soros is likely to scoff at such unreasonable demands and hinder the free market, this is unconstitutional!

But Dunn couldn't, he was a little guilty.

Soros is playing with capital operation, Dunn is playing with foresight, lacking sufficient theoretical support, and once it is investigated, there will be no suitable and abundant reasons.

It is better to be honest and low-key.

Therefore, in the past six months, Dunn Capital's income was far less than Dunn expected. Excluding capital tax, it only earned 430 million US dollars.

This certainly can not satisfy Dunn's appetite!

The entire Nasdaq is evaporating 10 billion US dollars every week. Dunn has worked hard for more than half a year to earn 430 million, just to send beggars?

After deducting this year's dividends, Dunn Capital's current book capital is only US$3.15 billion, which is far from meeting Dunn's requirements.

There are still many industries that Tang En wants to develop. In addition to Universal Pictures, there are also entertainment ecological chains such as music, games, publishing, and TV networks. These require a lot of capital to support.

Even if Dunn had foresight, there are not many opportunities to really make big money.

Fry oil, make a fortune in war?

Don't be ridiculous, so many top families and capital giants spent such a huge price lobbying Congress and launching a national war that shocked the world. Tang En did not have any strength, and quietly made a fortune behind his back, earning dozens of dollars. Ten billion?

Simply tired of living!

Tang En's prophetic perception is true. His strong knowledge and spiritual attributes are mortal. Even if he eats a gun, he will be finished.

Therefore, there is no need to think about the war money. The only chance in front of Tang En is the "911 Incident"!

Of course, this also requires careful preparation in advance.

If Dunn dared to go short on the Nasdaq and the New York Stock Exchange on a large scale and on a large scale in the early stage of September 11, then wait for the "911 Incident" to break out and make a fortune... Well, even if there is no evidence In fact, Tang En colluded with al-Qaeda, and with the fbi's sharp methods, he could also fabricate a lot of crimes.

Therefore, it must not be stuck at that point in time, it is better... to go short from now on!

"Scott, return the funds, and next year, let's make a big deal!"

Seeking wealth and wealth at risk, Dunn must do this.

Seeing Dunn's awe-inspiring look, Scott Swift deliberately turned on the signal jamming device in his office, and knew that the topic was serious, "Speak, I'm ready!"

"Starting from January 1st tomorrow, we will restart the short-selling plan!"

"Ah?" Scott Swift was slightly startled, "But the Ministry of Justice... has already restricted it, and it is not allowed to be too large like shorting Yahoo at the beginning of the year."

Tang En twitched his mouth and said lightly: "So this time... we adopted a different strategy. At the beginning of the year, we won with quality, and we made a lot of money just by relying on a few stocks such as Yahoo, Microsoft, and Dell. . This time, we will win by quantity!"

"Winning by volume? You mean... spread the scope?" Scott Swift frowned and shook his head, "I'm afraid this is also difficult, Nasdaq has been monitored by the Financial Administration of the Department of Justice , we exceeded that threshold, and it would also attract their attention.”

Dunn smiled, "Yes, Nasdaq's operating space is still a little small. President Bush has just taken office, and he is trying to save Nasdaq's stock market crash. The monitoring of this aspect must be very strict."

Just one month ago, the United States completed the general election, and George W. Bush became the 43rd president in American history.

Three fires when the new official took office, Dunn could not touch Bush's inverse scale at this juncture.

Scott Swift looked at Dunn's confident and calm look, and knew that he already had a comprehensive calculation in his heart.

He couldn't see through this young man Dunn!

However, the big victory at the beginning of the year made Scott Swift full of trust in Dunn, savoring his words carefully, his eyes suddenly widened, showing a somewhat incredible expression, "Dawn, you are Say... the New York Stock Exchange?"

"Haha!" Dunn laughed loudly, his voice clear, "Scott, it seems that we have formed a tacit understanding."

Scott Swift didn't even bother to laugh, and the cold sweat flowed down, "Dawn, boss! What do you think? It's the Nasdaq stock market crash, not the New York Stock Exchange!"

"The NYSE is not implicated by Nasdaq?"

"There are some, but it's not important. Especially since the new government has just come into power, investors have shown enough confidence, and the NYSE has been bullish recently."

"Bullish? This is interesting." Dunn smiled and muttered to himself.

Scott Swift is not in the mood to joke, he is very worried, he used to work at Merrill Lynch, and he also deals with Nasdaq.

To put it bluntly, Dunn Capital has no understanding of the New York Stock Exchange!

As a layman, spending a lot of money to enter the New York Stock Exchange and launch a large-scale short sale is tantamount to courting death.

"Dang En, this is too outrageous, there is absolutely no trace!"

"Scott, I know your worries, it's not necessary at all." Dunn waved his hand, then stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling Manhattan Street, "This is New York, this is Wall Street, in my opinion, the Compared to Hollywood, this is a paradise for imagination!"

Scott Swift's face was heavy, and he couldn't figure out what Dunn was talking about.

Dunn turned around and said with a smile, "Scott, trust me again, do it!"

Scott Swift was silent for a long time, and even rarely lit a cigarette After smoking most of it, he slowly asked, "What should I do?"

"Beginning on January 1, the stocks of the two exchanges, the New York Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq, have been widely shorted. With specific stock selection, you can hire more professional talents. We do not have more than $3 billion on our books. Is it? Except for the necessary operating expenses, all the rest are thrown away!" Tang En said in a loud voice, he was qualified.

Scott Swift sucked in a breath, "This...this will pay off badly!"

Tang En said with a smile: "Didn't I say, you can hire some professionals, or consult with securities institutions."

Scott Swift said bitterly: "If professional talents are really useful, entrepreneurs will not be occupied on the rich list."

"Isn't there a stop-loss mechanism?"

"That will only make us pay less."

Tang En's expression has always been calm, "Oh? Let's talk about it. We are short in early January and closed in early June. If the market is not good, how much will we lose?"

"500 million to 600 million yuan is not a small amount, and 700 million to 800 million yuan is not surprising." Scott Swift sighed, "Dawn, this is not a small amount. If you are trying to compete with the Ministry of Justice, I don't think it's necessary at all."

"Competing with the Department of Justice? Haha, Scott, I'm not that boring!" Tang En shook his head ironically, and then said lightly, "I can bear the loss of less than $1 billion!"

"what?"

Scott Swift was completely stunned, as if he had hit a ghost during the day, and looked at Dunn stupidly.

Boss, what are you going to do?

$1 billion, what's not to do? Eating and waiting for death is enough for a few lifetimes!

Then, I heard Tang En said leisurely: "We will act in January, we will close the net in June, and in July, let's do another wave of action!"
