Chapter 175 Speak of the devil, and he appears; Game Station
BlackRock Capital Management?
"why?"
Zhou Kai, Yang Jun, Eva, Anna, and Su Meng didn't quite understand why this company was the most awesome.
Ranked 200+ in the Fortune Global 500
The return on investment is not the highest.
The market valuation is less than $100 billion.
Why does Jiang Feng value it so much?
(?_?)？
Jiang Feng smiled and explained, "Don't look at the market capitalization. Even the most powerful capital on Wall Street doesn't have a market capitalization that high!"
"Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley, and other financial giants aren't even ranked high in the Fortune Global 500, are they?"
"But they're incredibly awesome!"
"However, they are institutions, investment banks, and they don't just make money for themselves. Their funds often come from investors, so their own profits are limited, but their influence is huge."
"The subprime crisis."
"The European debt crisis."
"It's all these organizations stirring up trouble!"
“BlackRock has now become the world’s largest capital management company, managing $8 trillion in assets last year. Although this money does not belong to BlackRock, with $8 trillion in hand, who dares to compete with it in the financial market?”
╮(╯_╰)╭
Jiang Feng asked meaningfully, "Do you know what BlackRock started with? Researching trading systems!"
"Aladdin and the MSB mortgage-backed securities trading system were the culprits behind the subprime crisis; but in the end, BlackRock helped resolve the 2008 subprime crisis."
"They were born to play the game of setting the rules."
"Berkshire Hathaway and Quantum Fund are just making money by exploiting the rules; they're not on the same level."
"In terms of personal wealth, Larry, the boss of BlackRock, isn't even worthy of shining their shoes; but in terms of influence and market manipulation, they aren't even worthy of shining BlackRock's shoes!"
"The epidemic is raging now."
"Global economic recession."
“BlackRock’s managed and invested assets have appreciated significantly, and more investors have given them more funds.”
"It's almost reached $10 trillion!"
Although he has nearly $100 billion in assets, or future assets, it still pales in comparison to BlackRock, and Buffett is far inferior to BlackRock.
Larry, the boss of BlackRock, has a net worth of less than a billion dollars on the surface, but his connections and networks are no less than those of Buffett, and his influence at the top of society is even more formidable.
He doesn't care how much wealth he has.
They prefer to hold more assets under management.
His ability to resolve the aftermath of the 2008 subprime mortgage crisis and clean up the mess left by the US government is enough to prove his competence!
He spearheaded the creation of the crisis.
He solved it himself.
How could it not be awesome?
It can create problems, and it can also solve them!
Are you scared?
BlackRock's investments are highly profitable and cover a wide range of sectors; moreover, its Aladdin system is used by industry giants such as Google, Apple, and Microsoft.
In short, its influence is unimaginable!
Zhou Kai and the others were shocked when they heard this.
holyshit.
Are there really investment firms in the world this powerful? They can crush Berkshire Hathaway, Citigroup, and Morgan Stanley!

They instinctively became wary of BlackRock.
Jiang Feng added, "Don't worry, BlackRock has no conflict of interest with us. Even if there is a conflict, there's no need to worry. Although BlackRock has abundant capital, the financial market has a ceiling here, and normally no one can beat anyone else!"
"If market volatility really occurs—"
"It's hard to say who's more awesome!"
I have a system.
Who is afraid of whom?
(￣へ￣)
Everyone nodded in agreement, brimming with confidence!
General Jiang YYDS
(￣?￣)/
They had just talked about BlackRock, and two days later, Ryan, the president of ConocoPhillips, called:
"Jiang, do you know BlackRock?"
Jiang Feng raised an eyebrow: "Of course I know!"
Ryan explained in detail: "Jiang, our restoration plan in Somalia has attracted the attention of the highest levels."
"They are very interested in this—"
"We are willing to support our project!"
"But certain conditions need to be met."
Larry wants to talk to you face to face.
"What do you think... should we agree?"
What the fuck? BlackRock? Larry? What does he want to talk to me about? Does he represent the US government?
Or rather, the US government's capital sector?
Jiang Feng frowned.
Something seemed a little strange.
Has something changed in the international situation? Is Big Brother trying to cause trouble for them and annoy them?
Jiang Feng didn't want to get involved in this conflict.
However, the system issued a warning:
[Accept the invitation after being advised]
Larry will give you a small gift as a welcome gift.
[Rewards for heeding advice]
[GameStation Company Stock Chart]
Sending a gift upon meeting?
Game Station?
Jiang Feng rubbed his chin, pondering to himself, "Isn't Game Station a small company? Well, it's not exactly small, but physical game products are becoming increasingly difficult to sell."
Game Stations have very little room to survive.
Its stock chart can have…
Ok?
Jiang Feng glanced at the future stock trend chart of the [Game Station] reward from the system and couldn't help but shudder.
"Holy crap! How is this possible?"
Current stock price: $10 per share
Previous price: $3 per share
Future high: $480 per share
(?_?)？
holyshit.
How could a mere physical game retailer, a company that suffered huge losses for two or three consecutive years, experience a stock price surge of over a hundred times?
Jiang Feng took a deep breath.
He looked completely bewildered.
3 dollar
10 dollar
20 dollar
70 dollar
120 dollar
240 dollar
480 dollar
150 dollar
310 dollar
20 dollar
...
What the hell happened?
Such drastic fluctuations are completely abnormal. Who has driven up the stock price of Future Game Station Company to the sky?
"Could it be BlackRock?"
"No, impossible, it's not BlackRock!"
"There's absolutely no need for that."
Jiang Feng narrowed his eyes and shook his head inwardly. The system did not provide any more information, so he had to search for it himself.
However, the news was found very quickly—
A major investor has purchased shares in Game Station.
But Wall Street institutions are shorting the market in the opposite direction.
The two sides are subtly at odds!
But that's not the main point.
Online, many individual investors are banding together, deeply resenting these institutions and unwilling to be exploited.
Retail investors have suffered under institutional investors for too long.
These people are actually teaming up to fight against capital!
Logically speaking, this is like an ant trying to shake a tree; it's impossible to succeed because institutional investors in the US stock market are very powerful, while retail investors only make up a small percentage. How could they possibly beat institutional investors?
Jiang Feng also habitually thought so.
"and many more--"
"wrong!"
He suddenly realized that the US had been printing a lot of money recently to subsidize the people across the country, and retail investors and speculative funds were extremely active. The proportion of these funds in the stock market was no longer what it used to be.
Data shows that it has reached over 19%!
If there is organized and planned buying and selling, it is indeed possible to bring down institutions and set a new historical record.
in this way
Looking at the future stock chart of [GameStation], it's not hard to see that short-selling institutions will definitely suffer huge losses!
But in the end, I completely unplugged the network cable and gave up.
