帕利塞德的豪宅内，西蒙昨日在标普500指数200点到210点低位累计平掉8300份空头合约，单日盈利超过3亿5000万美元。同时，维斯特洛公司账户中同时又在200点到210点之间建立了3500份多头合约。

At the opening of the market on Tuesday, Simon patiently waited for the S&P 500 to rise briefly, then decisively adjusted the closing range, locked the index upper limit of 220 points and started selling, while continuing to establish long contracts in the same range.

In addition, Simon also withdrew 2 million US dollars from yesterday's profit, moved to the New York Stock Exchange, and began to buy all kinds of stocks in the plan.

……

chicago.

Fast forward to Thursday.

At [-]:[-] a.m. central time, Noah Scott, who had only had an average rest of less than five hours in recent days, hurried to the Chicago branch of Lehman Brothers with two bloodshot eyes.

As a vice president at Lehman Brothers, Noah Scott managed a trading team of six analysts and had his own office.

Leaving the briefcase and today's newspaper aside, Noah Scott sat down behind the desk and turned on the computer, but he couldn't help but still be a little dazed: How much did that guy earn?

Some time ago, after James Robinson made a wait-and-see decision, Noah Scott secretly borrowed $100 million from his father and secretly bought 55 S&P 500 short contracts, which was also about 80% of Simon’s previous position .

Noah Scott really wanted to gamble whether the man that the girl, including himself, all his classmates pursued to no avail was really amazing.

then.

On Monday, Noah Scott got a small glimpse of what it's like to get rich overnight.

55 contracts were all closed at the bottom of the S&P 500 index at 200 points, and Noah Scott easily made $200 million.

However, Noah Scott was not happy at all. His mind kept circling the money that Simon withdrew from the Lehman Brothers account, which was more than 3 million U.S. dollars. If it was still 5000% Short interest, that's nearly 80 short contracts.

With 2 contracts, it is obviously impossible to close all the positions at the lowest point of the S&P 500 index, but even according to the closing point of 259 points on Wednesday, the short positions held by Simon Westero can generate large profits.

What's more, as long as he is not so greedy, Simon Westeros will definitely be able to close all his positions for two consecutive days on Monday and Tuesday.Even, if you backhandedly establish a long position, the other party's income will definitely be greatly improved.

Noah Scott is a person with very strong self-control. After closing those 55 contracts on Monday and earning $200 million, he decisively stopped.

Although the federal government adopted a series of powerful rescue measures in a timely manner, no one is sure whether the U.S. stock market will continue to plummet like it did in 1929.But at this time, looking back at the S&P 500 index curve from Monday to Wednesday, and then contacting the young man's previous operations, Noah Scott is almost [-]% sure that the other party will definitely re-establish a long position and make another profit with a backhand.

After gapping lower on Monday, the S&P 500 closed at 201.

The S&P 500 index still closed at a low of 212 points after a brief surge on Tuesday.

On Wednesday, it gapped and opened higher, opening at 237 points and closing at 259 points, and the market stabilized.

Then, if I were that young man, I should have completed the liquidation of all short contracts on Monday and Tuesday. If I backhandedly established a long position during this period, I would definitely reap a large profit on Wednesday.

$3 million principal.

80% of open interest.

just now.

Noah Scott is wondering more and more, just how much has Simon Westeros made in recent days?

$10 billion?

Even if he can't earn so much, but counting the previous principal, Simon Westero, who is only 19 years old this year, should be a billionaire by now.

wrong.

Perhaps there should be Janet Johnston among them.

but.

$10 million!

In any case, Noah Scott understood that perhaps, it would be difficult for him to match the wealth owned by those two people in his life.

It's just, 10 billion US dollars, how does that guy plan to spend it?

perhaps.

Six months ago, it was reported that Simon Westeros and Janet Johnston were about to go to court because of the distribution of the proceeds of "Run Lola Run".Now, with such a huge amount of income, even if the two were in love before, in the face of huge wealth, maybe there will be some disputes next?

Thinking of this with some expectation, the door of Noah Scott's office was suddenly pushed open, and one of his analysts hurried over and said, "Noah, it's not good, now the exchange Rumors are going around that we're going to sell a few thousand contracts after the market opens?"

Noah Scott was still a little dazed, and subconsciously asked, "What?"

The analyst said: "For those contracts of the Quantum Fund, someone leaked the news that we will sell those contracts in advance."

At the beginning of October, Soros' Quantum Fund and Simon's Westeros began to build large positions at the same time.However, Quantum Fund has continuously bought more than 10 long contracts in half a month.

After the crash started, Quantum Fund’s contracts were forcibly liquidated in recent days. After the margin call, some positions were liquidated again after the situation stabilized yesterday.But at this time, there are a total of 9000 contracts left in Quantum Fund's account.

Even though the federal government's rescue measures have begun to bear fruit yesterday, everyone understands that the S&P 500 cannot return to a high of 300 points in the short term. Quantum Fund has no other choice except to cut its flesh and leave the market. .

It is naturally impossible for Lehman Brothers to have only Noah Scott as a trading team.

A major client like Quantum Fund is actually Noah Scott’s immediate boss, and a senior vice president of Lehman Brothers is personally in charge.

Hearing his subordinate's explanation, Noah Scott relaxed and said, "Charlie, this has nothing to do with us, does it? Will messed up, that's his business." With that said, Noah Scott Te glanced at his watch, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, let everyone come in, work is about to start, let's have a meeting first."

8:30 Central Time.

When the Chicago Mercantile Exchange officially opened, Noah Scott discovered how bad the news that Lehman Brothers was about to sell thousands of contracts leaked in advance had a bad impact.

Knowing in advance that Lehman Brothers was about to sell a large number of contracts, after the opening of the market, all other brokers in the CME Group began to stay on the sidelines and did not accept the sell orders thrown by Lehman Brothers at all.As a result, under the accumulation of market selling pressure, the S&P 500 index plummeted again. In just over ten minutes, it plummeted from 256 points at yesterday's close to 197 points.

Los Angeles.

It was still early morning in the mansion in Palisades, but Janet, who was already a little numb, didn't get up early today.

On Monday and Tuesday, Westeros far exceeded the 26700 short contracts imagined by Noah Scott, and today there are less than 5000 short contracts left.At the same time, Simon once again established a total of 7000 long positions in the range of 200 to 220 points on Monday and Tuesday, and completed the liquidation of 250 long contracts at the high of 2000 points on Wednesday.

Hearing the news on the phone that the S&P 500 Index was expected to plummet again, Simon decisively issued an order to clear short positions.

If memory is correct, Simon has less than three hours left.In the afternoon Central time, the S&P 500 is set to recover again after the morning selling pressure has been absorbed.

After a few days, the traders from Goldman Sachs and other companies were already familiar with Simon's operation intentions, so naturally they didn't need to waste any more words.

Simon then turned his attention to New York.

In the previous two days, Simon had withdrawn a total of 4 million US dollars in funds, all of which were poured into the New York stock market.His buying strategy is also very simple and clear - technology stocks.

Before the last layout, Simon has already compiled a list of technology stocks that he plans to buy. Apple, Microsoft, Intel, Oracle, SUN and other companies naturally have a lot of them. Of course, Simon did not forget to mix some 'sand' into it. '.

In my memory, after a short-term decline, the North American stock market will basically show a steady rise until 2000.Therefore, the big crash at the end of October 1987 can be said to be Simon's last chance to buy bottom.

Due to the very detailed planning in advance, within two days, all the 4 million US dollars invested by Simon were turned into stocks.After the market closed yesterday, Simon once again withdrew $2 million from the futures account for today's buy operation.He will then continue to invest money and continue to buy.

Even if you don't hold it for more than ten years, after this big crash, the North American stock market will rebound rapidly. In the next few months, these stocks will still generate very considerable profits.

A rough day is coming to an end.

The next day was Friday, October 10, the day "Death Comes" was released.

The S&P 500 index closed at 237 points on Thursday. After the market opened on Friday, there was no more bad news in the market, and the S&P 500 index rebounded to above 250 points.The short positions were closed on Thursday, and Simon also cleared all the long contracts that he hastily bought in the previous few days on this day.

then.

Finally, it's time to count the final harvest.

A chilling moment.

10月19日到10月23日，五天时间，维斯特洛公司累计在200点到220点之间卖出于290点左右高位建立的26700份空头合约，累计获利10.68亿美元。同时，西蒙在同样的三天低谷期间，累计在200点到220点之间建立了8000份多头合约，全部都在250以上平仓，再次获利1.65亿美元。

Counting the original 3.87 million US dollars principal in the Westeros company account and the 5-month stock index futures operation, Simon's initial 7500 million US dollars had skyrocketed to 16 billion US dollars at this time.

After calculating the final financial data in detail, both Simon and Janet were stunned for several minutes.

In Simon's memory, there is indeed a rumor that 700 million was hyped into 20 billion in the futures market.But at this time, seeing that the funds in his hand had suddenly increased by more than 5 times in just five months, he still felt a little unbelievable.

Janet's reaction was more direct. After a long period of daze, the woman leaned over, touched Simon curiously, and said, "I regret it."

Chapter 122 Visit

Inside the study.

Hearing what the woman in his arms said, Simon patted her on the waist with a smile, and said, "Then what do you want to do?"

Janet just grabbed Simon's wrist and bit it a few times, looked up and asked, "How do you plan to spend this money?"

Simon pointed to a stack of stock transaction receipts on the desk, and said, "Didn't you see that you have already bought 8 million US dollars of stocks. After leaving the tax, I plan to exchange all the money into stocks."

Just like the mantra that Americans often say: In this country, only taxes and death are inescapable.

The receipt of 16.2 billion U.S. dollars also means a huge tax that makes people feel distressed.

According to the tax reform plan launched by the Lige government just last year, the 16 billion US dollars in the Westeros company account belongs to the part of the profit from the stock index futures exchange, which needs to pay a 2000% capital gains tax.The rest of the income from "Run Lola Run" also cannot escape taxation.

Roughly calculated, Westeros Corporation will need to pay more than 4.5 million U.S. dollars in taxes by the end of the year.Subtracting Janet's "Run Lola Run" profit share, Simon finally got only about 11 billion US dollars.

Janet was obviously a little surprised when she heard Simon's decision: "All of them are exchanged for stocks, you don't plan to do other things?"

"Now is a good time to buy the bottom. If you need money in the future, you can sell it at any time," Simon said, and asked, "What about you, do you want me to convert all your money into stocks?"

"Dad and I have mentioned it several times. The family also needs money. I plan to throw it back to Australia." Janet shook her head and touched Simon's face with a smile, saying: "So, this way I have no money, and you will support me in the future."

Simon turned his head and kissed Janet's palm, and said, "Okay, let's go to New York tomorrow. Let's spend the 2000 million dollars in loans first. What do you want to buy?"

Janet tilted her head and said, "House, don't you want to have your own house in every big city in the world? Let's start with New York."

"This is my business," Simon said, "What about yours?"

"Your business is my business, as for my business, it is your business."

"Oh, I can tell, it's a love story."

"Hehe, really slow."

……

"When Harry Met Sally" has been filming for six weeks and is expected to wrap up smoothly before Thanksgiving next month.

The turbulence of the North American stock market crash is still going on, and it is naturally unlikely to calm down in a short time.However, after completing the operation of the stock index futures market, Simon rushed to New York with Janet to check the filming progress of "When Harry Met Sally".

At the same time, Daenerys Films is responsible for the production of "Reaper" which was officially released on October 10. Although the financial market was full of grief, it did not have much impact on the film's box office.

Simon originally asked for a minimum guarantee of 1000 screens, but due to good audience feedback from several internal test screenings, Fox finally gave the film 1350 opening screens.

10月23日到10月25日，《死神来了》首周末三天票房最终达到1256万，成功将从9月底就一直保持周票房冠军的《致命诱惑》从榜单No.1的位置踢了下去。

The box office of "Fatal Attraction" was 1101 million US dollars in the first week, and in the sixth week of release, the single-week box office is still as high as 1098 million US dollars.The box office curve has hardly dropped in one and a half months, and the cumulative box office has reached 6949 million US dollars.Although the total North American box office of this film is still unpredictable, there is absolutely no suspense to break [-] million.

Simon knew very well that the total box office of "Death is Coming" will definitely not be comparable to that of "Fatal Attraction".However, with $1256 million in the first weekend, the film is expected to earn $1800 million in the first week.

$1800 million is enough for Fox to recover all production costs.

As long as a relatively low decline can be maintained in the future, the total box office of the film in North America can even exceed 6000 million US dollars. With a total box office of US$6000 million in North America, although it cannot squeeze into the top ten of the annual box office, it is more than enough to enter the top 15.

According to the original contract, after the box office exceeds 2000 million US dollars, 10% of the North American box office share and 5% of the video tape sales share will almost bring Simon about 1000 million US dollars in revenue in the future.

Although he has earned more than US$10 billion in the stock index futures market, Simon does not plan to use this money in the short term.The income from the film will be the main source of funds for him to run Daenerys Films in the next few years.

On October 10, when a new week came, Simon withdrew all the funds in the stock index futures account.Except for the $26 million set aside for taxes and the $4.5 million settled for Janet, all the rest went to the stock market.

The North American stock market is full of grief, and more than 10 billion US dollars of funds suddenly flow into the technology stock sector. It is impossible to not be noticed.Many Wall Street analysts have clearly noticed the unusual volatility in the technology sector these days.

Moreover, after calming down from the panic of the crash, some people gradually discovered that during this time when everyone lost everything, a "little crocodile" that appeared out of nowhere had unknowingly disappeared from the stock index futures market. Earned a staggering amount of wealth.

When the figure of a certain young man gradually became clear, the speed of the incident became more and more uncontrollable.

The main reason why Simon only chose Lehman Brothers as a broker in the first place was for the sake of secrecy.Although all the funds are put in one company, the movement will definitely be bigger, but as long as Lehman Brothers has enough integrity, it will definitely be able to keep the secret.

but.

The subsequent development of the matter inevitably deviated from Simon's expectations, causing him to turn to several other brokers, and finally even gave up the idea of ​​​​keeping it secret in his heart.In any case, as a young man less than 20 years old, I suddenly obtained more than 10 billion US dollars from the capital market, and it is impossible not to attract the attention of interested people.

The only thing Simon can do is to ensure that this wealth can actually fall into his own hands as much as possible.

So, while the year-end tax date is still more than a month away, he might still make another buck if he puts all his money in the stock market.But just in case, Simon still subconsciously chose to set aside a huge tax payment of 4.5 million US dollars.

Americans can't get rid of paying taxes all their lives, and attacking a person through taxes is usually the simplest and most effective.

10 month 28 day.

Wednesday.

All of the $11 billion available funds in Simon's account have been converted into stocks, and he and Janet have been in New York for five days.

Aside from checking on various aspects of When Harry Met Sally, Simon and Janet basically just wandered around New York.

Although the release of "Death Comes" once again brought Simon into the media's field of vision, "Run Lola Run" and "Butterfly Effect" have been released after all, and the paparazzi have become more and more aware that following Simon and Janet is really lucrative. No breaking news.

Therefore, although the whereabouts of Simon and Janet were quickly exposed by the media, there were very few paparazzi following them, and the two of them would not have much problem walking directly on the street.
