Probably to avoid people's eyes and ears, but also to facilitate Lu Chi's study, or there are other considerations. At the end of February 2003, Lu Chi, who had just arrived in country M, lived in a near Silicon Valley under the arrangement of Matthew Locke. luxury villas.
Although it is still thousands of miles away from Wall Street, according to the emotional news report of the "Wall Street Economic Journal" a few months later: this will mean that Lu Zhi, who has made a big name in the financial market of M country Officially stepped into "Wall Street".At the time, it seemed quite a low-key and ordinary move, which opened the prelude to Wall Street's upcoming "Landhold Era" that will last for decades.
A few months later, almost all kinds of exaggerated and enthusiastic praises from financial and financial magazines around the world.When Lu Chi and Yue Bin pushed open the door of the villa, what they saw were several Wall Street bigwigs they had seen at the Locke family banquet, and the most talented and most valued star transactions in the hedge funds controlled by these bigwigs. operators and operators.
At the same time, these bigwigs and celebrities standing at the top of the financial pyramid in country M are silently sizing up... um, the financial genius who smells like bacon and pickles.
The strong fragrance blowing against the face made people feel refreshed. Everyone looked at the black-haired boy with the big bags and small bags with weird expressions and complicated moods.
After a long period of enigmatic silence, Old Mr. Locke cleared his throat and said with a smile: "We were still discussing the mysterious trading methods of the financial genius from China just now. I didn't expect that now I really feel the meaning of 'coming from the far east. the air of mystery'."
Because of old Mr. Locke's kind joke, the people in the villa burst into laughter.The atmosphere of silence was broken. Antonio Locke, who had a brief contact with Lu Zhi before, and another brown-haired young man who was born in front of him came forward, reached out to take the luggage from Lu Chi and Yue Bin, and said with a smile: " Are these all Chinese gourmet specialties?"
Whether you admit it or not, China's food culture is just like China's long and long history, and it has long been known to the world.Although many Westerners with heavy tastes have tasted the unauthentic fly restaurants all over the Chinatowns all over the world, they agree that Chinese cuisine does not meet the taste of Westerners.But it is undeniable that real food is like money, which can always arouse the appetite of foodies.
Obviously, Father Lu's craftsmanship is definitely above the standard!
Of course, there are also a small number of people who are not tempted by the delicious food, and look at it more and more contemptuously.They agreed that Lu Chi didn't take this action seriously enough—at least, he shouldn't bring these weird things to such a serious occasion.
"What is this for? Is it a spring picnic for college students?" A burly, bald man with deep contours stood up.With his arms folded, he looked down at Lu Chi and Lu Chi, who were clearly at least a head shorter than him.From Lu Chi's perspective, he could see the man's aquiline nose more clearly, as well as the distinct dislike and hostility in those blue eyes.
Behind him, several Caucasians with different hair colors echoed without hesitation: "Maybe they don't know what this operation means."
"This is the futures market, not the random shorting or longing in the stock market. In fact, if you have really been in touch with futures, you will know that this field is [-] times more thrilling and exciting than the stock market." One of them shrugged Shrugging his shoulders, while looking at the silent bigwigs, he praised "sincerely" and said: "It is undeniable that your performance in the stock market is indeed amazing. However, we really don't believe it A person who has never been exposed to futures can lead us to operate such a big game."
Lu Chi suddenly realized.In fact, he had already guessed this situation long before accepting the examination and invitation of Old Mr. Locke and several other financial tycoons.
True talent is always rebellious and unruly.But Lu Chi must admit that he would rather work with [-] thorny geniuses than with a meek and obedient honest man without financial talent.
As for the obvious rejection and hostility of these star traders, Lu Chi thinks it is easy to resolve these emotions-all the rejection and hostility stem from these geniuses' distrust of him.So what he has to do is to smash the paranoia of these geniuses.
No amount of debate is worth an actual action.And Lu Chi has never been a person who likes to persuade others with words.
As the old saying goes, with this time, he might as well calculate a few more formulas.
"It's not bad if we use eating to describe our actions." Facing the doubts of these people, Lu Chi raised his eyebrows unsurprisingly, smiling harmlessly to humans and animals: "However, the size of the 'picnic' is a little smaller Well, it should be a dinner after all."
Before the others could react, Lu Chi raised his hand to check the time: "It's just right, it's not lunch time yet, let's serve a pre-dinner dessert first."
After saying this, Lu Chi walked leisurely to the lobby of the villa, in front of the extra rows of desks, randomly picked a computer and sat down, and called up today's futures market page, he turned his head and looked at the first one. The bald man who questioned him: "Under normal circumstances, in my demonstration class, students will make choices for me. But what this gentleman said is also reasonable. My knowledge of futures is indeed not as good as the stock market. So in order to avoid If you smash the plate, I will choose."
Then, Lu Chi selected a gold futures on the computer, called up the price chart of the futures for that day, tapped it with his slender fingers, and said in his mouth: "I guess, the price of this futures 10 minutes later is xxxx. The highest price today is xxxx, and the closing price is xxxx."
Lu Chi said a total of three numbers, and thoughtfully wrote these three numbers on a white paper, pasted it on the computer screen, got up and said, "You have nothing to do, you can verify my calculation formula."
Then, he turned his head to look at Old Mr. Locke and the other bigwigs, and asked politely, "Where is the bedroom? I just got off the plane, and I need to catch my jet lag."
Having said that, in fact everyone knows that Lu Chi is going to give everyone a time to react.Of course, there is definitely a trace of dissatisfaction after being questioned by everyone.
Everyone knew that this statement did not necessarily mean that Lu Chi was really angry.It's the appropriate restraint and arrogance, so that those who questioned him before can feel his calmness and comfort—you are all standing here, waiting to confirm my calculation results, while I am sleeping upstairs, and I don't mind your ignorance at all. manner.
And once Lu Chi's calculation results are confirmed, this invisible psychological pressure will slowly destroy the psychological defenses of those star traders and talented traders.
So will Lu Chi's calculations be correct?The bigwigs who have experienced two major short-selling incidents, as well as Lu Chi's draft open class, have no doubts.
The bald man who challenged Lu Chi before emphasized with a pale face: "Even if you can calculate the price of this futures on that day, it does not mean that you have the ability to trade in the international crude oil market. You must know that once the action starts, both the long and the short will do their best. Protect your own interests with all your strength. You have no way to prove that you can accurately judge the other party's ideas and methods, and issue orders in a timely manner. If you are not careful, you will lose everything."
After all, in many cases, the real financial war has little to do with mathematical formulas, and relies more on the precise operation of the operator and the flash of inspiration from the person who controls the market.
And all people who are engaged in finance know that the spark of inspiration comes from the long-term accumulation of many battles.
However, what these people don't know is that if you exclude the hard accumulation of hard battles and only fight for the probability and accuracy of "sudden light", it is estimated that no one in the world will be more "spiritual" than Lu Chi.
Therefore, in the face of the bald man's increasingly weak provocation, and the apparent wait-and-see attitude of others, Lu Chi just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.
However, the aggressive attitude of the bald man and those traders annoyed Matthew Locke—in the eyes of this wayward playboy, Lu Chi is his good friend and partner, and also the chief trader invited by the Locke family .This group of people's doubts about Lu Chi are their doubts and disrespect for the Locke family.
"Come on. It's as if you can catch that 'spark of inspiration'." Matthew Locke squinted at the bald man, full of dandyism, and unceremoniously stood up to support his friend and partner : "In fact, if you can really do what you say, you will not only be a star trader with tens of millions of dollars." Instead, you will be able to set up your own hedge fund and gradually move towards the billion-dollar club.
"But the fact is that Lu became a shareholder of Eric Assets at the invitation of Eric Weiss and became a new shareholder of Eric & Lu Assets. And you are just a trader of K Fund." Matthew As Locke spoke, he moved his gaze to the founder of K Fund—a well-known Wall Street tycoon from the outside world: "Obviously, your boss doesn't think that your ability can become a shareholder of K Fund."
Hitting people doesn't slap people in the face, let alone in front of so many colleagues.Even though the bald man had a thousand words to tell, he couldn't help but retreat with a livid face.
After winning the first battle, Matthew Locke hugged Lu Chi's shoulder proudly and proudly, just like a white peacock with its tail open, pointed arrogantly in the direction of the second floor: "I know You must be jet lagged when you fly here, the room has been prepared for you, and I will take you there now."
"By the way, what do you want for lunch? Wild vegetables or a big meal?"
Matthew Locke's double-entendre question was like a machine gun firing indiscriminately, and the traders who had run out of Lu Chi just now blushed with embarrassment and indignation.There is really no way to bear the vitriol of the playboy.
Luis Rodriguez, the boss of the bald man and the founder of the K Fund, couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly at Old Locke: "Nephew Matthew's character is still so hot."
