Lin Xiao turned to the cover of the magazine and took a look. Wasn't it the "Chen Yue Shi Jing" that Gu Li had been reading? After Lin Yue's article was published in the magazine last year, she kept saying that she would never read this junk magazine again with the word "Gu" written upside down. She wrote it, but it was just to say something harsh. In the spring of this year, she made another reservation for the whole year.
"In recent years, affected by the energy industry policies of the Obama administration, the stocks of companies in related fields such as McDermott and Unioil have closed down across the board. Since this year, in order to deal with the environmental problem of global warming, the Obama administration has continued to implement relatively Radical tax policies, the U.S. automobile and oil and gas industries have been continuously suppressed by Democratic Party bureaucrats. Wall Street financial giants are generally pessimistic about the performance of related companies in the capital market. Some institutions have taken advantage of this and jointly shorted established companies such as McDermott, Noble, and Unioil. Energy stocks.”
"The Obama administration's indulgence in illegal immigration, the spread of far-left ideological trends, and the hollowing out of domestic industries caused by policies have enriched the top classes in the Internet, international finance, and film and television industries, while creating a large number of unemployed people at the bottom, severely damaging the economy. Middle-class families, in this context, Muddy Waters' recent strong short selling and politically correct remarks against McDermott have aroused the dissatisfaction of many retail investors with middle-class backgrounds in the WALLSTREETBETS group of the RIDDIT forum. These people are taking the lead in the mysterious Big Brother' Under the leadership of JOKER, we launched a sniper attack on the short-selling institutions headed by Muddy Waters Company."
"In just one week, McDermott's stock price soared 1,200%, and the prices of stocks that had been weak in the past two years, such as Noble and Uni Petroleum, also skyrocketed. The financial chaos caused by this combination of punches has caused great consequences on Wall Street. Small institutions are wailing. Muddy Waters' hedging call option buying operation has caused the company to lose 25% of its total assets. The famous hedge fund Citadel has suffered a heavy setback. In order to avoid a bankruptcy crisis caused by liquidation, it has reported to POINT72 and CQS , MARSHALL WACE and other hedge funds urgently seek help.”
"As of the date of publication, the battle between the financial oligarchs and retail investors on Wall Street in the United States is still going on. Although due to the intervention of brokerage platforms and technology industry companies, the intensity of the confrontation between the two parties has declined, and they have entered a state of tug-of-war. No experienced financial person is optimistic about retail investors. Our future, but from another perspective, it also exposes the fact that American financial oligarchs and high-tech companies are destroying the market mechanism, collaborating with government officials to control the country, and harvesting the people."
"According to domestic news media's interviews with some American people, the mainstream participants in the 'retail investor uprising' actually don't care about gains and losses of hundreds or thousands of dollars. Most people rely on their trust in 'JOKER' and choose to use this price to make money." It is a small way to protest and expose the ugly behavior of the Obama administration and Wall Street financial oligarchs in manipulating American politics and economy."
Lin Xiao finished reading.
Her expression was a capital word "confused". She understood the general content of the article, but she was completely blind to the professional terminology, political background and economic situation.
If this is the case for college students in the Chinese Department, you can imagine what the situation is like for college students in the Department of Physical Education and the Department of Fine Arts.
"What does this...have to do with you?"
Gu Li sat down on the sofa and rolled his eyes at Lin Xiao: "Because I invested in U.S. stocks and those losers did this. The stocks of the technology companies I bought were affected by the market turmoil and various scandals released by who knows who. Nearly half of it fell, can you accept it calmly when this happens to you?"
"Scandal? What scandal?" Tang Wanru was not interested in investments, stocks or anything like that. The strongest thing in her body was the burning desire for gossip.
Gu Li glared at her: "For example, Apple's CEO is gay."
Tang Wanru took out the newly bought iPhone in her pocket and looked at it. Disgust and reluctance intertwined on her face, as if she had drank a glass of expired, low-quality red wine, which was extremely bitter.
Nan Xiang picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip of water: "How much money did you lose?"
Gu Li said: "About a hundred thousand...US dollars."
Lin Xiao shook his head and said: "I think it's good. At least it will help adjust the gap between the rich and the poor."
Tang Wanru winked at her: "Lin Xiao, Nan Xiang, when will we have a retail uprising and overthrow those people who are unkind for the sake of wealth..."
Everyone knew who she was kidding.
However, the client's attention was not on them at all: "Don't let me catch him. If I find out who the 'JOKER' is, I will castrate him ten times."
"I think you have no hope in this life."
Gu Liniu, she completed accounting and international economics in her junior year of college. However, in Lin Xiao’s view, she is also a great person in her circle of friends. If she really wants to dive into the capital market, with her current ability, other people will If you say castrate JOKER ten times, it's a good thing if you don't have your bones knocked, your marrow sucked out, and your skin peeled off.
"Gu Li..." Tang Wanru tugged on her sleeve.
"what?"
"Don't you think this is very similar to what Lin Yue said to you back then?"
"What words?"
“A geopolitical conflict can blow up all the potato and corn futures you’ve been holding on to.”
Gu Li was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered what Lin Yue said when he went to make trouble in the training room of the School of International Relations and Public Affairs last semester.
"Tang Wanru, didn't I tell you before not to talk about that guy in the dormitory in the future?"
Tang Wanru stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.
Lin Xiao glanced at Nan Xiang and found that she was very calm... at least her face was very calm. As for what she was thinking, maybe only she knew.
Ding dong dong dong~
At this moment, a clear ringtone came from Gu Li's handbag. She unzipped it, picked it up and put it to her ear. She jumped up from the sofa and her face became very strange.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao hadn't seen Gu Li show such an expression for a long time.
"He is back?"
"Who's back?"
Gu Li looked at Nanxiang and said, "What do you think..."
She was asking Lin Xiao, but the first person to react was Nan Xiang.
"Ah, I see."
Tang Wanru looked excited, and when he was about to say the name, Gu Li held Nan Xiang's cell phone.
"If he really cares about you, why didn't he say a word when he left and didn't contact you when he got off the plane? Nanxiang, don't you think you're cheap enough?"
Nan Xiang's expression changed several times: "I...but...him and I..."
When you want to forgive someone, you can always find excuses. For example, we just like each other and are not boyfriend and girlfriend yet. Logically speaking, there is really no need to tell me where he is going, what he is going to do, and when he will come back.
Lin Xiao looked at Nan Xiang and then at Gu Li, fearing that the two of them would quarrel again.
"Can you still not forget him?"
Gu Li's question received no response, and Nan Xiang remained silent.
"Okay, I understand, I will let you see him with dignity."
The three people opposite were stunned, wondering what happened to the rich lady who became indignant and full of complaints whenever she mentioned Lin Yue.
"You three, don't forget to attend my birthday party."
Gu Li picked up the handbag left on the sofa and left, heading to the club where the birthday party was held to inspect the progress of the preparations.
…
That night, it was overcast with light rain.
A stretched Lincoln sedan stopped at the door of a European-style building. The receptionist went over and opened the rear compartment door.
The see-through and thin black gauze fell, and the well-dressed rich lady came out of the car holding a newly purchased handbag and walked into the hall with a proud smile.
Most of the guests have arrived, including employees of the Shenggu Group, college classmates, playmates who have known each other since childhood, and some active ladies and gentlemen in the circle.
Gu Li took the champagne from the waiter, exchanged greetings with the people outside, took a few sips of wine, and told everyone to feel free to have fun today. After that, he walked to the innermost room and looked at the people sitting on the left and right of the dining table. The person said: "How is it?"
Tang Wanru covered her eyes with her hands: "It's too revealing, I can't bear to look directly at it."
Gu Li also smiled and turned around, showing his almost naked back to them: "So, giving you nice clothes is a waste."
After saying this, he walked behind Gu Yuan, pressed his shoulder and asked: "What did he say?"
"He said he would come, but it might be a little later."
Gu Li looked around. Gu Yuan, Jian Xi and Lin Xiao were sitting on the right side of the dining table, and Tang Wanru and Nan Xiang were sitting on the left side.
"Okay, then let's not wait and eat first."
After speaking, he told the waiter: "Serve the food."
Soon, steak, roast turkey, oysters and other dishes were served. Gu Li picked up the red wine glass in front of him and said, "Here."
Tang Wanru said: "Come, I wish Gu Li a happy birthday. Today is the same day every year, and today is the same day every year."
"Yes, come on, cheers."
Lin Xiao and others raised their glasses to celebrate Gu Li's birthday.
Just as they put down their cups and Gu Li was about to greet Tang Wanru, who was staring at the steak on the plate and drooling, to eat, the door opened silently and a person appeared on the opposite side.
Gu Li said: "You are late, you should drink three drinks as a penalty."
