Chapter 221: After today, there will be no tomorrow
Kingkong Capital is such a big company, is there no one who can communicate in English?
Isn't this bullshit?
At this time, Li Yuan still had chips in his hand.
He didn't sell much. He just dumped more than 5 billion US dollars at a price of 52,000 US dollars, guiding those who had chips in their hands, and then there was no further movement.
He did lose some money, but he had no bargaining chips in his hand, and he was worried that Morgan would cause trouble behind his back.
As for that phone call...
It was Yu Yue who answered the call and sent a message asking for his opinion.
When he heard that it was Morgan's man, he immediately asked Yu Yue to find an excuse to refuse.
He is indeed losing money now, whether it is the short position of Sky Capital or his own short position.
But Morgan was more anxious than himself.
They couldn't pull it up, and they didn't have many chips in their hands, only 13 billion US dollars left, but did Morgan still dare to take it?
If they continue playing like this, they'll explode.
They don’t even dare to wait because new bitcoins are mined every day.
Currently, 40,000 can be mined every day. Although the number will decrease in the future, the rate of decrease will not be that fast.
Forty thousand bitcoins, at current value, is worth two billion U.S. dollars.
It expands so much every day. No matter how much money they have, how many days can they hold on?
Besides, they don’t know how many chips are left in the market. What if they still can’t solve the problem even if they spend tens of billions of dollars more?
Their best approach is to negotiate some short positions first, and then convert those short positions into long positions to help them.
Short positions with small funds are useless and difficult to negotiate. The short positions of Sky Capital are the most cost-effective.
Li Yuan didn't even let Yu Yue ask the other party what price they offered. Anyway, since they called, it meant they couldn't hold on any longer.
The score between the two sides is now 60-40, with the other side having 6 and Li Yuan having 4.
But if Li Yuan can take the risk, can Morgan do the same?
The worst that could happen to him is that he will lose all his profits. Does Morgan dare to raise the price of Bitcoin to $80,000 and make him lose an additional $30 billion?
Once they pull up, the whole world will short them!
So far today, it's been a carnival for bulls.
Li Yuan knew all too well those people who speculated in cryptocurrencies in China. One of them had more than 100,000 coins in his hands.
It is very likely that all of them will be invited this time. After all, no one can refuse a profit of 5 billion US dollars.
It’s different from his previous life. When he liquidated his positions in his previous life, Bitcoin was only 27,000 US dollars, and he finally made 2.7 billion US dollars.
Not to mention those domestic mining machine companies that can produce hundreds of bitcoins every day.
Mining is relatively easy now. When the price was $6,000 per coin, the net profit was 50%. With the crazy rise in prices during this period, they must have increased their investment.
Although according to the algorithm, the difficulty of the next day is definitely greater than that of the previous day.
However, considering the increase in computing power in recent days, it is possible to mine 50,000 to 60,000 coins in a day.
When Bitcoin was worth a few thousand dollars, the value of these 50,000 or 60,000 coins did not seem so terrifying.
But what about ten times?
Morgan must lower the price of Bitcoin, but they have their own headaches as to how to do it.
The current situation is not that bad. Morgan still has a considerable advantage, and Li Yuan only has a psychological advantage.
But Morgan was so eager to contact Li Yuan that Li Yuan felt that it was highly unlikely that he would offer a high stakes.
He never thought of really going against Morgan or even shorting Morgan.
His size is too small, and he has put in a lot of effort to get to this point.
From pretending to be a follower in the beginning, to coming to the fore along the way, to being suppressed by Morgan, and finally to secretly making things easier for Morgan's situation.
If he had taken a wrong step, there would not be the current situation.
Before he knew it, it was six in the morning and he had been keeping an eye on the market trends.
The price of Bitcoin fell back to $47,000, which is somewhat similar to the gap filling in stocks.
After all, the price was raised directly from 37,000 US dollars to 50,000 US dollars, with a large price gap in between.
There are many ways to explain the concept of gap filling in stocks, and the mainstream answer is to fill the chips.
Because the more trading levels there are, the smaller the bubble in the entire market will be.
The appearance of such a large gap indicates a large bubble, and not much recognized funds are found at this price point of the gap.
Recognition funds are a very important indicator. Once there is recognition funds, even if the stock price has visibly hit the limit down, there will be people who will enter the market to buy the stocks, so that everyone will not be stuck in it.
Behind the data, it generally represents a psychological game. Although Bitcoin is not a stock, the essence of the game has not changed.
When the price stabilizes at more than 40,000 US dollars and is traded frequently, many spectators will be unable to help but exit the market, because they will subtly feel that the price is not high.
For example, when Moutai was priced at 500 yuan a year ago, some people said that the price was too high...
When it reaches one thousand yuan, it is still considered high.
When it came to 2,000 yuan, it was still the same.
But when the price started to fall from two thousand yuan, everyone said in unison: There is absolutely no way it can go below fifteen hundred!
Five hundred yuan is too high, now I dare say the lowest price is fifteen hundred.
Morgan came to talk about short positions, most likely because he wanted to allow short positions to enter the market and push up the price. Through several increases and alternating chips, the price will slowly bottom out at around 40,000 US dollars.
That is to make everyone accept the price of more than 40,000 US dollars.
There is a ceiling of more than 50,000 US dollars above and the gap is filled below. There is sufficient recognized funds for each level. Although it is not the optimal solution, it is the most conservative method.
At this time, Morgan was a little confused about how many chips there were in the market and adopted a conservative strategy.
However, Li Yuan still felt there was something wrong.
New Year's Day is coming soon. Isn't Morgan and others trying to make money before New Year's Day?
Now that we have become more conservative, how can we explain this to the group?
This is not a small amount of money. It is impossible for Morgan to settle all the contracts perfectly without this money.
If they had only invested 30 to 50 billion, Li Yuan believed that they could be conservative and proceed slowly.
Now it's obviously not.
It seems a bit strange to suddenly adopt a conservative strategy.
He might only consider it if the benefits are big enough.
It’s only a few days anyway, and Li Yuan has the patience to wait.
Now he is mainly thinking about the problem of Chen Jie's account.
Theoretically, even if this account cannot be locked, at least the person can be contacted.
Isn't the short order of 40 billion US dollars here more meaningful than the solicitation of Sky Capital?
You don't even have to pay any price because the short position is making money now.
Morgan must have known that if he hadn't received the message, it meant that the other party hadn't been able to contact him.
The contact information is most likely in Chen Jie's hands.
Li Yuan called Yao Yingsong.
"Please connect me to Chen Jie."
"Yeah, okay."
Li Yuan knew that Yao Yingsong should have a way to let him talk to Chen Jie on the phone.
Even though it was already early morning.
He just waited and waited...
I waited from six in the morning to eight in the morning, but the phone never rang.
He even wanted to take a nap. After all, he hadn't slept for more than twenty hours since he woke up yesterday.
The price of Bitcoin has gradually fallen back to $43,000, which is attractive enough.
If Li Yuan could exit his 40 billion US dollars short position at this point, he could probably make 6 billion US dollars.
Comparing the risk and return, the return is already very good.
However, what he pursued was not the income of this account. After all, no matter how much income this account had, it would be impossible to spend it all.
After waiting for a while, the doorbell rang suddenly.
The person who came back was definitely not Jiang Yiling.
He got up and opened the door, then saw Chen Jie standing at the door.
Only three weeks had passed, and the figure had obviously become much thinner.
Li Yuan took a look and asked, "Did Yao Yingsong bring Sister Chen here?"
"Well, he didn't come down the stairs."
Li Yuan smiled and said, "This guy, Sister Chen, please come in first."
Li Yuan made way.
He just wanted to call Chen Jie and get the contact information of that account.
As a result, Yao Yingsong sent the person over directly.
At this time, Chen Jie not only had an electronic ring on her foot, but also one on her wrist.
And he also learned some things during this period.
For example, if Yu Chenguang was arrested, even if Chen Jie did not substantially participate in the case, she would be sentenced to at least six months to one year for various charges of obstructing public service and harboring a criminal.
It is definitely not something Yao Yingsong could do to be able to get people out at a time like this.
Then it is obvious who is behind it.
The first time Li Yuan clashed with them was when the other party forcibly replaced Ye Sheng.
These are two completely different ways of thinking. He originally thought that the two sides would remain deadlocked, even if he continued to make money.
But now... at least the other party can really meet his needs.
It turns out they are not that arrogant...
Only a few days had passed and they had already begun to change their identities, much faster than they had imagined.
Chen Jie was a little confused about being brought out so suddenly.
When I came to the sofa, I saw the place where Li Yuan had sat before, with a laptop in front of it.
The data displayed on the screen was not too unfamiliar to her.
Although I haven't had any serious contact with it, at least I have some understanding of it.
She didn't know how to start, and Li Yuan spoke first, "Sister Chen, do you have the account number and contact information you left me before? I need that contact information now."
"Yes, yes, it's my cell phone number."
She took out her cell phone from her bag and turned it on.
She hasn't touched her cell phone for more than 20 days, except for picking up her bag when she went out today.
Was Li Yuan getting her out just for the contact information?
A little...disappointed...
As the phone started up, Chen Jie wanted to hand the phone directly to Li Yuan, but the phone rang immediately.
She looked at Li Yuan, a little confused.
There was no way anyone would call her unless it was about that account.
What did Li Yuan do with that account?
A call came in the first moment I turned on the phone, which means the other party has been calling, otherwise it wouldn't be such a coincidence.
She looked at Li Yuan to ask for his opinion.
Li Yuan said, "Sister Chen, pick up the phone and see if it's Morgan calling. If it is, tell me."
"good."
Chen Jie answered the phone and spoke a few words to the other party.
After hanging up the phone, she said, "It's Morgan calling to ask about the short contract and wants to talk to you."
"Oh, then just ignore them."
Li Yuan sat down.
He just needs to make sure Morgan has contacted this side.
Chen Jie put down her phone and said, "What price did you pay to get me out of there? Let me see if I have anything valuable to repay you for this favor."
"The specific price cannot be calculated yet. Sister Chen, just stay here for a few days. You will know in a few days."
The so-called price is the share of the Kingkong Global Select Mix this time. In the end, we will know how much money we can make .
After saying that, Li Yuan sat on the sofa, wrapped in a blanket.
"Sister Chen, can you go get me something to eat? I've been vomiting from eating takeout lately."
Chen Jie said: "You should rest now."
She could see that Li Yuan was exhausted.
"No, wait until noon."
Li Yuan's mind is now very clear. There will definitely be a wave of changes before twelve o'clock.
If not...
As a result, at this time, Chen Jie's phone rang again.
Li Yuan picked up the phone, handed it to Chen Jie, and said, "Sister Chen, pick up the phone. Tell them to lower the price of Bitcoin to $20,000 before I consider selling the short contract. Otherwise, there is no room for negotiation."
Chen Jie: “…”
She picked up the phone and started chatting with the other party.
In fact, there was already a storm in my heart.
She just saw that the current price of Bitcoin is over 40,000 US dollars.
Li Yuan opened a short order and required the other party to lower the price before he would clear the position.
What does this mean?
This means that the contract in Li Yuan's hands is very large, at least several billion dollars. Otherwise, why would a behemoth like Morgan contact this guy?
Two minutes later, the other party hung up the phone.
Chen Jie relayed, "Morgan is only willing to offer a position for thirty-seven thousand dollars."
"Then let's not talk about it! There's nothing to talk about, turn off the phone!"
Li Yuan took the phone and turned it off.
The probability of his 40 billion US dollars short position being blown up is too low.
Around 61,000 US dollars is the final liquidation point, Morgan can’t pull it up!
"Then I'll go cook for you first."
"Yeah, okay."
Li Yuan wrapped it tighter.
Even though the floor heating in the room was on, he still felt a little cold.
I called Yao Yingsong and said, "Keep an eye on the trading room. Morgan will definitely call again before noon. Talk to them then. My bottom line is to sell the contract for $31,000. Whatever the negotiation leads to will be your credit."
In fact, Li Yuan’s bottom line was 30,000 US dollars, but Yao Yingsong was not in a good position either, so he gave him a position of 1,000 US dollars.
If he could negotiate down to 28,000 or 29,000, the result would certainly be better.
"Boss, can you teach me a trick?"
Yao Yingsong asked.
Li Yuan smiled and said, "It's very simple. Just tell Morgan that they can't blow it up even if they spend $100 billion! After today, they won't give it tomorrow!"
