    Sean doesn't understand finance. Although he has made some money from stocks, every time he sees this kind of relevant knowledge, he will feel a headache. But this does not mean that he will let go after handing over his entire net worth to Neil. Although he does not know what the specific financial behavior is, it is alright to pay attention to the news in this regard. Anyway, there are still two labor force in around.

    Basically, since Neil left Los Angeles for New York, Sean and the others began to pay attention to financial news. Even if the overall trend of IT stocks cannot be analyzed, it is possible to see one. Such as the Cisco that Neil mentioned.

    However, Sean never thought that the IT stock that was still rising sharply on Friday suddenly fell on Monday, and it was still plummeting? If they didn't realize the seriousness of the matter at the time, the news that IT stocks plummeted in the newspaper two days later was enough to make people feel chills.

    "What the hell..." Flip through the newspaper that Galen and Sanders handed over, looking at the thick black arrows falling down from the stock chart in the newspaper, even if Sean doesn't understand finance, he knows , I'm afraid it's going to be a lot of trouble this time around.

    Although Neil said that the short-term risk is relatively small, even if there is a loss, it will not be too large, but there is a premise that IT stocks will not collapse. But looking at the current situation, almost the entire line has fallen. Except for a few major stocks, the others are basically plummeting!

    "Hey, Neil, um...how are the two days?" Sean called him immediately.

    "I know what you want to ask, Sean, but... don't worry, I'm working on it, I'll be back in LA by Friday." Neil's voice was calm, but there was no trace of it. Certainly still obvious.

    "He didn't really screw up." After Sean made his judgment, Sanders couldn't help but say so.

    "It's very possible, after all...he said before that even if there is a bubble in IT stocks, it will wait until June to burst," Galen smiled wryly, "It seems that he...or a lot of people expected it wrong."

    "We can only wait for news from him now," Sean said, and sighed.

    Indeed, his entire net worth must have been fully invested on Monday, otherwise Neil, who sensed something was wrong, would definitely stand still, he must have this keenness, so... what he can do now Just wait.

    Soon, just one day later, Neil arrived in Los Angeles from New York in the dust.

    Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, after he took a short rest, Sean asked: "So, can we talk now, Neil, how is the situation?"

    Neil smiled bitterly. Seeing his appearance, the three of them couldn't help but sank, but the strange thing was that in addition to shame, there was helplessness and joy in this bitter smile. What was going on? ?

    "My judgment was wrong, or the vast majority of people's judgment was wrong. The mainstream view is that the bubble will not burst for at least a few months, and then some people insist that the bubble cannot be seen. There are very few signs of rupture, and only a few think that it may rupture at any time, and this time, the truth is in the hands of a few people." Neil sighed and spread his hands, "No one expected that Cisco would fall immediately after reaching its peak, Even with all the IT stocks falling, except for the stocks of a few large companies that can hold up, others are basically useless. For example, the Internet service provider Freeinternet.com is basically determined in just four days. It's not too far from bankruptcy."

    "Then..." Sanders hissed, "How much have we lost?"

      of unwillingness.

    "So... I'm broke?" Sean couldn't help pinching the bridge of his nose.

    "25 million." Neil answered in a stern voice.

    "Well, it's not too much. My current salary should be 1 million, and I can pay it off after making 25 movies." Sean said bitterly.

    Gallen and Sanders also laughed bitterly. Although they were very angry, they couldn't blame Neil. He must have been uncomfortable when things got this far, and there were so many investors All got stumped on this one, but...

    "No," Neil's voice sounded, and he raised his head, although he was also smiling wryly, his expression became extraordinarily strange, "I mean... your account is gone, and it is still there. There's $25 million."

    The room was silent for several seconds, and then three exclamations sounded in sequence: "What?!"

    "I mean, there's still $25 million in Sean's account." Neil spread his hands and repeated what he just said.

    "I can..." Sean looked at Neil like a ghost, "Do you know more details?"

    "It's actually very simple. Two mistakes led to a trade that should have been a big loss," Neil grinned. "It turned into a profit."

    Not waiting for Sean to ask any more questions, he continued: "After I arrived in New York, I contacted a trader to get started, but what I didn't expect was that the guy was Latino, okay, Maybe Hispanic, anyway, his English is not very good. Then, I contacted him on the phone, and he was very noisy at the time, so it was regarded as short.”

    Neil smiled wryly again: "This is the first mistake, and then, because I was too busy to end the call, I only told the stop loss line to be set at 5% and there was no need to say anything. The so-called stop loss Line, which means that when you are long or short, once the object falls or rises to a certain extent, immediately sell or buy. Generally speaking, the stop loss line must be set at a specific price, but considering that your operation is short-term , and the momentum of IT stocks is just right, so I gave a percentage without thinking too much, and the two words of stop loss line will not bring obvious tendencies, so the other party did not ask carefully. "

    Then he sighed again: "It was the second mistake, plus a mistake that wasn't a mistake, went to bed a little late on Sunday night, so it was almost 12 o'clock on Monday morning. So , when I learned about the specific situation of the stock market at 1 o'clock, I almost wanted to jump off the Empire State Building. You must know that if it was according to the original plan, the position would have been liquidated by then, not only lost everything but also owed money With tens of millions in debt, I really don't have the face to see you again. Then the trader called and said that the market is about to close, whether to fill the short position or not, and at the same time praised my prediction. I listened to it five times before I responded. Come here, and at that moment it was as if I heard the voice of God, pulling me up from the abyss of hell."

    "Fuck!" Galen couldn't help but exclaimed.

    "Fuck!" Sanders couldn't help but exclaimed.

    "Fu...Fuck!" Sean finally couldn't hold back.

    " After that, it was much simpler. Next, I continued to let traders short, and the stocks I saw fell hard. For example, the bankruptcy of Freeinternet.com mentioned just now is a foregone conclusion. , so it finally increased tenfold." Neil spread his hands and shrugged.

    The room fell silent again, and after a while, I didn't know who laughed first, and then everyone laughed, but Neil was still happy, and Sean and the others were a pair of Total relaxation. Especially Sean, that carefree and comfortable appearance, even the male protagonist who got "Genius Ripley" has never seen it.

    "God is on our side, no doubt." Sanders whistled.

    "That's right, otherwise, a guy who claims to be looking at Sean's money all the time doesn't know what to do now." Galen also said teasingly.

    Neil's old face flushed, and he stopped after coughing a few times. He had sworn at first that nothing would go wrong, but it wasn't that the trader got it wrong, it wasn't that he was careless, it wasn't that he was up late, and God knows what happened next.

      ."

    He paused and asked, "By the way, how much should I give you? 10%?"

    "Yes, but no need," Neil shook his head, "I really don't have the face to take this commission, if it is indeed earned under my plan, I will definitely not be humble ...but really, if it wasn't for luck and God was on our side, you'd really be broke."

    Sean pondered, then laughed: "No, the 10% commission should still be given to you. Instead of paying more taxes, it's better to take advantage of your brother. There is only one condition."

    "What... what?" Neil couldn't help asking.

      When he got it, he could do whatever he wanted.

    "Very short answer, I want you to go back to Harvard now and read the remaining two years of the course honestly." Sean said.

    "Isn't it?" Neil's face fell instantly.

    "Why, do you really plan to fail again before you wake up?" Sean raised his eyebrows, "For this time, you claim that you have done a good job. , I only need a chance to prove it. Well, I gave you this chance, and I will hand over all my wealth to you, but what about the result?"

    "But...this has nothing to do with Harvard." Neil argued in a low voice, somewhat unwillingly.

    "In short, as long as you go back to Harvard, you can get the 10% commission." Sean didn't care, just said in a tempting tone, "Of course, it won't be paid all at once. You, I will find a lawyer to come to your previous contract, divide the money into three parts, and you will spend an extra year at Harvard, and you will have an extra share of the money you can use."

    After he finished speaking, he patted him on the shoulder again: "Let's honestly study at Harvard, gain experience and expand your network, Neil."

    "Damn..." Neil covered his head and nodded weakly after a while, "Okay, I promise you."

    "Very good," Sean smiled very happily, and then the temptation became stronger, "By the way, there is one more thing, if you can help me, I can give you more 5% commission."

    "What is it?" Neil suddenly came to his senses.

    Sean smiled:

    "Do you know Amway?"

    "What?"

    "...wrong, you know Google?"
