As soon as Li Dong and Wang Yue finished talking, the phone rang again.
Glancing at the number, Li Dong picked it up and said with a smile, "Sister Wu, we have telepathy. I was just thinking about you when your call came."
Wu Yajun was a generous and candid person.
In addition, she was twice as old as Li Dong, so Li Dong liked to joke with Wu Yajun.
This kind of joke didn't involve the relationship between a man and a woman, but it made people more open.
Wu Yajun on the phone sneered, "Go to hell! You only said that I invited you to Shancheng for a long time, but you didn't come to see me. "
"If I didn't call you, would you have taken the initiative to call me? You are rich now. You are one of the top ten richest people in the country. Tsk, tsk. That's great. I can't reach you. "
Li Dong laughed dryly and said, "Sister Wu, you are slapping my face. Fine, I admit my mistake. Besides, Sister Wu is also on the list this year with a net worth of 8 billion. I know that Big Sis Wu's family background isn't just this much, unlike me who can't hide anything and only stood out once. "
Wu Yajun couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't deny it.
Businessmen, especially domestic businessmen, generally didn't like to show their wealth unless it was necessary.
Wu Yajun's net worth was definitely not as much as it seemed. After all, Longhu hadn't been listed, so it was difficult to calculate.
According to Li Dong's estimation, Wu Yajun's net worth was about 10 billion.
They were all rich people, and rich people didn't like to talk about money.
After a simple joke, Wu Yajun returned to the topic, "You didn't go to the college course section in September. This month is the last one, and you didn't go either. But you'd better go to the graduation ceremony. Everyone has graduated, so let's get together. And after this graduation, the members of the previous year and people from Central Europe will also come. They are all seniors in the industry, so it will be helpful to get to know each other in the future. "
Wu Yajun was the class monitor of the CEO class of the Changjiang Business School. She was also very concerned about these things.
It didn't matter if others didn't attend the graduation ceremony, but if Li Dong didn't attend, it would lose a lot of color.
He was one of the top ten richest men in the country, and he was also the youngest. With Li Dong around, everyone had a good reputation.
As soon as Li Dong heard this, he said, "Yes, I'll definitely go."
This time, it was not only his classmates, but also the CEOs of the previous batch.
There were quite a number of strong players in the previous cohort, such as Old Ma from Ali, Old Niu from Mengniu, Old Guo from Foxing …
Especially on Guo Guangke's side. Fosun got listed in July and became famous. Guo Guangke's personal net worth had reached 36 billion.
Li Dong and he were tied for tenth place on the Hu Runlist.
Come to think of it, the two of them had crossed paths due to a freak combination of factors. There was no harm in making a few more friends.
Seeing that Li Dong agreed, Wu Yajun was in a good mood. She said, "The graduation ceremony will be held after Christmas. It will be held on December 28th. If there are no changes, it will be held around this time. If there are any changes, I'll let you know. "
"Thank you, Sis Wu."
"Don't mention it. Oh, are you really not going to visit me?"
Li Dong smiled bitterly. "I can't leave recently. There are too many things to do. If Sis Wu wants to see me, come to Jiangbei. I promise you will feel at home. "
"You said it yourself. I really want to visit you when I'm free."
Wu Yajun laughed. The two chatted for a while and agreed to meet at the graduation ceremony. Then, they hung up.
…
On December 14th, Hsu Shengzhe's 5 billion was transferred to his account.
Li Dong had also prepared the money in advance. However, it was too eye-catching to have more than 10 billion.
Li Dong got someone to deal with it. The 10 billion was divided into hundreds of different accounts. The large amount was a few hundred million, and the small amount was a few million.
In this way, the attention was much smaller.
Li Dong continued to look for Tang Kuan and the others. They had cooperated with him last time and had a good reputation.
Until now, Li Dong had not heard any rumors. Last time, he had made more than 2 billion in the stock market. Many people still did not know where Li Dong got the money from.
However, in addition to Tang Kuan and the others, Hsu Shengzhe also found another organization.
According to him, it was safer to diversify the investment, and the attention would be lower.
In fact, Li Dong knew that he was worried. After all, there was so much money here. Although he wanted to make a fortune with Li Dong, he would not let Li Dong handle it completely.
Otherwise, he would not know who to complain to if he lost all the money.
Tang Kuan's studio and Hsu Shengzhe's studio did not know each other before, and they did not know each other's existence.
Li Dong did not mention these. In fact, in addition to these two companies, Li Dong also asked Shen Qian to look for two other companies.
5 billion was too much for one company to operate. It was divided into four companies, and each company had more than 2 billion. Although it was still a bit more, it was still acceptable.
As usual, these people were monitored by Li Dong and Hsu Shengzhe.
Cao Feng and Wang Jie also put down their work and entered the studio to be the eyes.
The stock market continued to fall. The Shanghai stock market index had almost fallen below 5000 points. At this time, Li Dong and the others chose to short the stock market. The others were not too surprised.
In fact, it was not only Li Dong and the others who did this. Many people in the financial industry were doing this.
Moreover, they were not as conservative as Li Dong and directly entered the futures market.
Because of the leverage in the futures market, a few hundred million can move tens of billions of funds. Compared to the attention, Li Dong and the others did not care.
The stock market was worth tens of trillions, and there were trillions of funds entering and exiting every day. At this time, not many people cared about the stock market.
… …
December 20th, the Central Bank raised interest rates for the sixth time!
In 2007, the Central Bank had raised interest rates six times. At this time, the major companies could feel something was wrong.
Also, the major companies were concerned about the subprime mortgage crisis overseas. They knew that the crisis had affected the Asian financial market, and everyone was panicking.
A few days ago, the US, Canada, Europe, UK, and Switzerland announced that they would join forces to rescue the market. This further deepened the people's fear.
The Chinese real estate market was in turmoil again. The real estate market, which had stopped rising, started to fall.
Fear will spread even though the financial crisis had not reached China yet.
Some big real estate developers could still hold on, but some small real estate developers could not.
The banks could not get loans. Even if they could get loans, the money was not a lot, and the interest was much higher.
At this time, everyone was worried about the real estate bubble. Once the real estate market crashed, everyone would jump off the building.
Since the beginning of December, there have been a number of real estate developers who have begun to sell their properties to cash out.
At first, it was just some small real estate developers. But in late December, even some medium-sized real estate developers started to sell their properties.
Seeing this situation, the major real estate companies could only curse in their hearts.
They could not do anything for the time being, or they would be in big trouble.
But if the small and medium-sized real estate developers sold their properties, the already unstable real estate market would be hit hard, and they would be implicated.
After all, the financial crisis has not affected the housing market too much. As long as everyone can stabilize, the housing market will not collapse.
But with so many people, no one had the ability to control the entire real estate market.
The small and medium-sized real estate developers did not have much capital to begin with, and they did not dare to bet on stabilizing the market.
If they could not stabilize the market, they would be courting death.
The first to collapse was not the first and second-tier cities. The third and fourth-tier cities were more afraid.
No matter how the market collapsed in the first and second-tier cities, there would still be customers.
But there were none in the third and fourth-tier cities. If the market really collapsed, they would have to go to the rooftop.
Pingchuan was also affected a lot. Before Longhua made a move, many small and medium-sized real estate developers started to sell their land and buildings.
In the middle of the year, the land prices in Pingchuan were even as high as more than ten million yuan per mu, and it was normal for it to be more than one million yuan per mu.
However, in late December, the average price of the land sold in the market had dropped by about 10%.
Do not underestimate this 10%. A piece of land was originally worth a few billion yuan, and it suddenly dropped by a few hundred million. That much money was enough for countless people to jump off the building.
Real estate companies were originally in the business of using land to support the land. Their capital might be a few hundred million yuan, or even less.
They would lose all of their capital in one go, and they might even be in debt. Not many people could really withstand it.
…
December 22nd.
Wu Shengnan rushed to the Provincial Party Committee Compound.
As soon as she entered, Wu Shengnan said with a serious expression, "General Manager Li, another batch of land has appeared on the market, and the price is still dropping."
Li Dong smiled and said, "Isn't this something we've already expected?"
"No. Some of the land that was put up for sale this time are land on both sides of the subway line."
Li Dong raised his eyebrows. So fast?
Most of the land that was put up for sale in the market were in the suburbs or in poor locations.
Now, even the land near the subway line is being put up for sale. Obviously, the fear has increased.
The impact of the housing market is more serious than expected, and it is coming faster.
But Li Dong also wants it to be faster. Fast is the only way to make money.
After Wu Shengnan finished speaking, Li Dong said, "Continue to monitor the situation. Once the land price drops by more than 15%, we will enter the market immediately."
"Okay!"
Although Wu Shengnan is worried, she is not a step-by-step person.
Wu Shengnan knows whether Dong Yu can rise again depends on this time.
This might be a crisis, but it might also be an opportunity.
Based on her judgment, the impact of the sub-prime mortgage crisis should not be too serious. Even if the impact is significant, the government is not to be trifled with. The government will surely get back on track within three to five years.
Using 5 billion this time, it should not be a problem for them to recover their capital in three to five years.
But if they win, or the impact period is even shorter, they will have made a fortune.
After that, Li Dong asked, "How is Longhua doing?"
"There is no news yet. Also, most of Longhua's investments are in the new city. The new city is not in use yet, and their investments there will not be much impact. But they had taken over a lot of our land previously. Let's see if they can sit still. If Longhua starts to withdraw, the real estate market in Pingchuan will collapse completely. "
Li Dong nodded and shook his head. "The government will not let Longhua collapse. Just wait and see. Once Longhua collapses, Jiangbei will come to their rescue."
"I think so too. But no matter what, Longhua will not be able to intervene in other cities now."
"That's not necessarily true. Hsu Shengzhe is full of ideas. Maybe he will take the risk and do something big."
Li Dong laughed. This is not impossible.
Hsu Shengzhe even dares to invest 5 billion in my side. Obviously, he completely believes what Li Dong said.
Since that is the case, why not take the risk again?
However, he does not have much capital in his hands now. If he blindly hopes that the government will come to his rescue, he will not be far from death.
Even if Longhua makes a move, it will be a small one. The impact will not be too big.
Wu Shengnan briefly told Wu Shengnan about the things to take note of and the time to enter the venue. Then, Wu Shengnan left in a hurry.
As for Li Dong, he also packed his luggage.
Christmas is coming soon. I promised to attend the Business School's graduation ceremony before Christmas. I want to go there before Christmas and celebrate the holidays with Qin Yuhan.
After Christmas and attending the graduation ceremony, I have to return to Jiangbei to attend the group's New Year's Day celebration. I will be very busy after that.
