Rebuild 2005

Chapter 271 [269] Two years in a hurry (return)
In the turmoil in the financial sector of the US stock market, Bear Stearns was not the only company that was unlucky. Fannie Mae, Merrill Lynch, and Lehman Brothers, which were also Wei Qingfan's sheep, were hit hard during this period.

He first divided all the funds from the various procedures before, and then divided the funds into two parts, one part was short-selling the U.S. stock market index, and the other part was short-selling Lehman Brothers.

Affected by the subprime mortgage crisis, the company's share price had fallen to $3 in early March, but quickly rose back to $30 in mid-March.

In the next two months, the stock price of Lehman Brothers went up and down, and when it entered May, it was still around $5.

Then it started to plummet all the way.

On June 6, Lehman Brothers released its financial report. The company suffered a loss of US$16 billion in the second quarter, the first loss since its listing in 28.7.

On September 9, Lehman Brothers released its financial report for the third quarter ahead of schedule, with a loss of US$10 billion;
On September 9, after the U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bank of America and Embarclays gave up on acquisition negotiations one after another, Lehman Brothers announced to file for bankruptcy.

On September 9, the U.S. House of Representatives rejected the $29 billion rescue bill, and the Dow plummeted 7000 points that day, the largest point drop in history.

On November 11, the U.S. stock market Dow fell to the lowest point of 21 in the whole year, and then rose slowly, and then fluctuated and fell in 7450.34, and fell to the lowest point of 09 on March 3.

And a year ago, when Wei Qingfan bought short, the number was 12360, a drop of more than 47%!

He doesn't remember the specific data, but he is very clear about this time node, so although he failed to grasp the lowest point, he still obtained a profit of about 45%.

With three times the leverage, that's a 135% rate of return!

After the short-buying by Lehman Brothers, Wei Qingfan's capital has exceeded 4000 million US dollars, and after the short-buying of the US stock market again, it has reached an astonishing 1 million US dollars!
It's a pity that the exchange rate he exchanged to the US dollar was 7.5 at the beginning, but now when he wants to exchange it back, the exchange rate has dropped to 6.83, and he has been severely cut off.

Fortunately, even so, the funds in his hands reached 6.9 million!
This far exceeded his expectations, even more than doubled.

What is the concept of this money?

In 2008, Yuan County had a population of one million, and the annual fiscal revenue was 1.3 million yuan...

Considering that he will buy stocks in the future, Wei Qingfan did not exchange all of them, but kept 1000 million US dollars to buy stocks and coins.

——In November 08, Satoshi Nakamoto proposed the concept of Bitcoin, which was officially born in January this year.

He exchanged 9000 million U.S. dollars, a total of more than 6 million yuan. For this huge sum of money, he even asked for leave from school and flew to New York.

Fortunately, there were no surprises or dangers, and there were no accidents, and they returned to China safely and securely.

Then there was a new round of bank promotion, and Wei Qingfan threatened me with the usual "If you bother me again, I will take all the money away and deposit it elsewhere".

He originally worried that there would be an investigation of "huge assets of unknown origin", but it did not happen.

At this point, Wei Qingfan finally felt relieved and began to prepare for starting a company.

The reason why it has been delayed until now is to wait for Google's action.

In November 07, Google showed the Android system to the outside world, probably because Apple's iPhone has achieved more success than most people expected;

Nearly a year later, in September 08, Google finally officially released the Android 9 system;

On September 9, Google officially released the first smart phone equipped with Android system: Google G23.

This mobile phone is manufactured by HTC Electronics. It is equipped with a Qualcomm 528 processor with a main frequency of 7201MHz. It has a 3.17-inch 480x320 resolution large screen, a running memory of 192M, a storage of 256M, and a 320 million-pixel camera.

However, Android 1.0 does not support virtual keyboards, so it has a physical keyboard while having a large screen.

In this day and age, the iPhone is the pioneer and pioneer, and other companies have not been able to clarify the choice between virtual keyboards and physical keyboards. Not only Google, but most of the smartphones of other companies during this period have physical keyboards.

Such a mobile phone obviously has no way to compete with the second-generation iPhone 3G.

In a sense, the future is to be beaten by the iPhone 3G in all directions;
If there is no accident, iPhone 6Gs will be released on Apple's WWDC8 conference on June 2009.

According to Wei Qingfan's memory, this phone is likely to be usable, but what he is looking forward to more is actually a domestic smartphone:
The legend in the history of domestic smartphones can definitely be called the Meizu M8, which is the pinnacle of debut!

This phone went on sale on February 2 this year, but... Wei Qingfan didn't get it!
Fortunately, he is rich after all, and he did not wait too long. Before the May Day holiday, he finally managed to buy a black 8G version M8;

He got it through the channel of Huang Sheng (Chapter 248 "Zhongfu Telecom" company executive). He took a taxi there in the afternoon, brought the phone with great interest, and couldn't wait to open it when he returned to the dormitory.

This Meizu's first smartphone, to some extent, can also be said to be China's first smartphone. It is equipped with a 667MHz Samsung S3C6410 processor, has a 3.4-inch 480×720 pixel screen, and supports the same iPhone Multi-touch, there is a 320-pixel camera in the upper left corner of the back.

When the M8 was developed, the Android system was not yet available, so Meizu customized the Mymobile operating system based on the Microsoft Windows CE 6.0 system.

During this process, Meizu approached Microsoft to cooperate, but the other party refused, so the engineers, without any cooperation from Microsoft, abruptly put this system that was not made for mobile phones on the mobile phone, and did it. Almost as good as the iPhone.

This has also made Meizu M8 an unprecedented success, and it has been in the limelight for a while, not only in the domestic market, but also in the international market. It has also gained huge popularity and market feedback.

then……

After discovering the threat of Meizu M8, Apple took Meizu to court and won the lawsuit. Meizu was banned from producing and selling M8.

It is also this mobile phone that makes Lei Jun set his sights on the domestic mobile phone market, and it seems that this year, he will visit Meizu.

Lei Jun's primary goal was to invest in Meizu, but he didn't agree with Huang Carpenter, so it became "ask how to make a mobile phone".

Frankly speaking, according to Wei Qingfan's personal evaluation, the carpenter is certainly a good carpenter, but he is not a good helm of the company. The pattern of eyesight is not on the same level at all.

From the peak of Meizu's debut to the small factory in Zhuhai, and then to its acquisition, Huang Carpenter "has made great contributions" and basically made all the major decisions that could be made wrong.

Wei Qingfan knew this, but it didn't affect his excitement and enthusiasm after getting the M8.

Domestic mobile phones, or all smart phones started and developed by imitating the iPhone, but there are not many that can achieve the level of M8 and make people feel exquisite, even in later generations.

This is probably the reason for the success and ban of M8.

"Meizu M8?"

He was playing with his mobile phone when Li Yuchen, another digital enthusiast in the dormitory, came over and asked in surprise and excitement, "Where did you buy it?"

"An elder, a mobile phone seller..."

Wei Qingfan explained, then handed over the phone to Li Yuchen, and asked, "Where's Wang Jing?"

"I don't know, I came back by myself."

It was already the second semester of the sophomore year, and the four people in the dormitory had already completed the initial running-in, and they were more familiar with each other's personalities and life rhythms.

The four can be roughly divided into two factions. Wei Qingfan and Ma Teng belong to the "academic school". To put it simply, the place he often goes to is the library, especially Ma Teng. If you draw a life trajectory map for him, it is basically the dormitory. , teaching buildings, libraries, and cafeterias hardly participate in recreational activities.

On the other hand, Wang Jing and Li Yuchen belonged to the more active and "ordinary" university life. Naturally, studies cannot be avoided, but at the same time, there are also many social and entertainment activities.

Wei Qingfan is between the two. He often goes to the library, but not necessarily the library of his school. Especially on weekends, he hardly sees anyone. He either spends time with his girlfriend or studies with his girlfriend. Not with roommates.

Unless there are other students or seniors involved in the event - in the past two years, other people in the dormitory have probably figured out the pattern, that is, Wei Qingfan is very "powerful".

Whoever has good grades will be more enthusiastic towards them, regardless of the others.

As long as your grades are good, even if you ignore him, he can chat with you for a long time.

And if the grades are not good, of course he will not ignore you when you ask him, but he will never take the initiative like he treats the bully.

Jiang Qinghuai once teased him, calling him a "score lover".

Of course, Jiang Qinghuai, who is an undisputed class flower and school flower that is naturally recognized without selection, and even if someone is bored to choose the school beauty, must be a strong contender. She herself is also a top student.

It's the fourth semester since the start of school, and she has already received a scholarship for three semesters. If Wei Qingfan is really a "score lover", then she undoubtedly has the capital to attract him.

In the past two years, countless suitors have appeared around her, layer upon layer like waves, and they were all shot to death on the beach by her.

Naturally, there were rich children like the rich second generation, but she seemed dissatisfied and still firmly refused.

Wei Qingfan felt that she vaguely saw the scene where she was going on a blind date when she was almost 30 years old...

Li Yuchen played with it for a while, and asked enviously, "How much is it?"

"Original price."

"It's so cool..."

Li Yuchen was envious for a while, but he didn't mention what he wanted to buy. He just bought a laptop this year and had a girlfriend. Living expenses were too tight, and he couldn't afford to spend more than 2000 yuan to buy a mobile phone.

Wei Qingfan didn't care about his feelings. After getting it, he didn't care so much. It was just a mobile phone, not a girlfriend.

"After you read it, put it in the box for me, and I'm going out."

He simply packed up his things, then carried his bag and went out with his Nokia.

"You don't need it?"

Li Yuchen was a little surprised, "Where are you going?"

"Peking University."

Wei Qingfan responded, waved his hand again, and left the dormitory with his earphones on.

When he left the dormitory area, he saw Jiang Qinghuai walking towards him in the setting sun.

At this time of April weather, she was wearing black trousers and a purple coat, carrying the green backpack when she entered the school two years ago, still with short hair, as if she saw him coming from a distance, her pure and refined face revealed sweetness Smiling, waved lightly.

Then he stood still at a distance, stared at him with cool and clear eyes, raised his chin slightly, as if he wanted to settle accounts with him.

"what?"

Seeing her gesture, Wei Qingfan stopped in front of her a little amusedly, "Robbing?"

Jiang Qinghuai looked at him, pursed his lips and laughed, and said, "That's right, if you rob money, you will also rob sex."

After two years of getting along, although the two of them didn't have much interaction in the classroom on weekdays, they got along more casually in private. Wei Qingfan didn't see anyone, and said with a smile: "There is no robbery, but welcome to robbery."

　15/18.

　　A little explanation about the timeline.It's not about to end, it's proceeding normally according to the outline, there was no plot planned in the past two years.

　　On the one hand, because the main line of business is mobile phones, I can only write about the daily life in the past two years. I am afraid that some book lovers will find it too monotonous and boring, so I skipped it directly; , It’s just frozen, there may be some places that seem unreasonable, but anyway, there are many more outrageous things in real life, so the author shall prevail.

　　In the future, campus life and career "start" will be carried out normally, and there is no possibility of unfinished business entering the palace. The recent subscription data is quite good, so there is no need to worry about similar aspects.
