Superhuman Investor Awakened 051
==========
I was investigating the Reed Family.
A new name emerged.
"Lucrezia Partners?"
Lucrezia Partners is the Family Office of the Huntington Family in England.
Originally, Family Offices are private institutions that manage the assets of specific families and are not directly regulated by the UK Financial Conduct Authority unless they provide financial services or public investment products.
However, there is an exception.
That is when bankruptcy proceedings are underway. In that case, related information is exceptionally disclosed.
「 Insolvency Report - Lucrezia Partners
• Date of Issue: April 23, 2020
• Registration Number: LP-A0-20200422
• Administrator: Richard C. Hargreaves
• Date of Bankruptcy Filing: April 22, 2020 」
A traditional British Family Office with a 200-year history.
Until they went bankrupt this time and related information was disclosed, I had only known Lucrezia as a single organization owned by the Huntington Family.
But that was too naive.
Lucrezia Partners had long been receiving investments from other aristocratic families, focusing on strengthening the bonds between traditional nobles.
And the Reed Family was on that list of investors.
With this, another link, the oil crisis, was added between the Reed Family and I.
In this oil crisis, they lost a lot, and I gained a lot.
So, it was a momentary suspicion.
'Could it be…'
But I immediately shook my head.
That's absurd.
The very thought was ridiculous and embarrassing.
Just because a major player like the Reed Family suffered a significant loss in the market, to hold an emotional grudge against the player on the opposite position was unheard of.
This isn't some cheap, illegal poker game where you chase after the guy who took your money and grab him by the collar.
Even though the futures and options derivatives market is a zero-sum game, what player would investigate the opposite position for revenge?
If that were the case, this market would have long been covered in a tragedy and collapsed.
Even legendary investors, known as industry legends, would not have been able to survive in such a chaotic fight.
But the fact that it happened right after the oil crisis is unsettling to dismiss it as mere coincidence.
Besides, no matter how much I looked, the only connection between the Reed Family and I was that.
So, assuming it was because of the oil crisis, I came up with the most reasonable scenario.
This is it.
It only makes sense if they are planning to frame me as a market disruptor.
This scenario was quite plausible.
If they could secure evidence that I used illegal means, they could use it as an excuse to recoup their losses. Of course, there is no such thing.
But here's another question.
'Why the Reed Family of all people?'
There were three other investors who suffered greater losses than the Reed Family.
And above all, the biggest loser was the Huntington Family, the operating entity.
'Then shouldn't the Huntington Family be the ones to step up?'
I have no choice but to dig into this side too…
* * *
But in fact.
The worst-case scenario would be if the Hangi Spirit was involved.
Come to think of it, since my brain was Awakened, my coffers have continued to grow, but I have never offered proper tribute to the Hangi Spirit.
Even the ten million dollars I offered was completely changed to a plan to offer Belmont Health as a whole.
This oil investment was conducted that way.
As a result, nothing has been offered to the Hangi Spirit yet.
'What if this is a Divine Punishment?'
'What if the Hangi Spirit manipulated some flow of our destiny to induce the Reed Family to attack me?'
…Is it too much of a delusion?
But looking back at the supernatural process through which the Alain family conveyed the meaning of Hongik Ingan, it wasn't necessarily so.
And when the god they serve inflicts Divine Punishment on their disciples, they usually use this method.
Sudden accidents, sudden farewells, sudden betrayals―
Things that you would never have imagined in normal times happen without warning.
Right now, the Reed Family's attack was exactly like that to me.
It seemed like it would be more comfortable to speed up the progress of AlphaHelp a little.
The funds needed to take control of Belmont Health are $3 billion.
And for the current $1.64 billion to become $3 billion, I need to achieve a return of 82.93%, and if I leverage it 3 times to increase the investment to $4.82 billion, a return of 27.64% would be sufficient.
A market that can digest nearly $5 billion and expect a 30% return in a short period.
Without hesitation, Ttesla.
Yes, Ttesla.
Currently, the rise of tech stocks led by Ttesla is driving the entire financial market.
This trend will not stop until the COVID-19 pandemic shows signs of calming down.
At the earliest, a year and a half.
Within that period, there is no possibility of losing money with Ttesla, no matter when you buy it.
Even if you buy at a short-term high and get temporarily stuck, eventually, if you wait, it will inevitably turn into profit.

[ Tesla Stock Surges 10% on Expectations for Strong Q1 Earnings Announcement
(Tesla stock surges 10% on expectations for strong Q1 earnings announcement)
Tesla's stock rose 10% on expectations for its first-quarter earnings announcement.
Another reason for the stock price increase is attributed to anonymous strong buying pressure. Large-scale purchase orders flowed into Tesla on this day, expanding the gains.
April 27, 2020, 16:05 EDT ]
The market reacted even more sensitively than when I accumulated Tesla with my personal account around March 23rd.
I tried to be as careful as possible.
But there are so many quick-witted market participants.
Everyone rushed in, causing Tesla's stock price to jump significantly.
That's how much the market's attention was focused on Tesla.
Even if it wasn't me, market frenzy was scheduled to attach to Tesla when the time came.
But if I were to overheat Tesla's stock price in the short term before that, it was highly likely that it would negatively affect the Tesla investment I was making with my personal account.
I didn't want to undermine the growth potential of a stock with long-term higher upside potential due to short-term overheating.
Even without that, Tesla was a major target for short-selling forces. Also, short-term overheating could gather short-selling forces at any time.
Considering those points, stopping the accumulation that day at 30% of the investment was the best choice.

From the next day, I continued to accumulate as inconspicuously as possible, avoiding the market's radar.
In the midst of that, I received a call one day.
< Hello. This is Scott Herbert, the head of Tesla's IR team. If you have some time, would it be okay to talk for a moment? >
* * *
"Recently, the buying pressure flowing into our side has been quite noticeable. There may not be a direct connection with AlphaHelp, but if you happen to have a similar direction, what is the background… Yes. Yes. I apologize for the intrusion."
Scott Herbert's face was even more worried after ending the call with Hyun-woo.
A team member cautiously asked Scott.
"Shall I try one more time? I'll try to approach indirectly through Wharton School. I'll also check if he's still close with the UFC minor league players. Either way… I'll try everything."
"No. Stop it. He's quite sharp. I was terrified. He was about to make an issue if I approached any further."
"Then what should we do? The general meeting of shareholders is the month after next, Team Leader. Less than two months left."
The company was already noisy because of the upcoming general meeting of shareholders.
CEO Elon's performance compensation plan was being put on the agenda again.
Originally, this compensation plan had been approved in 2018, but it had been canceled due to opposition and lawsuits from some shareholders.
"I know. Elon won't stay still."
In the midst of that, an unidentified Hong Kong corporation, AK, acquired 1.24% of the company's shares.
It seems like a relatively small stake compared to other major shareholders, but that's only when looking at the numbers.
That 1.24% stake could act as a casting vote in Elon's performance compensation plan.
And then another buying force suddenly popped up.
This time, it was even more problematic, it was the AlphaHelp Foundation.
Scott reconfirmed the documents he had obtained through unofficial channels.
「 Shareholding Change Status (AlphaHelp)
• April 27: 1.04%
• April 28: 1.24%
• April 29: 1.5%
• April 30: 1.79% 」
Accuracy could be low as it was obtained through unofficial channels.
Even so, it was certain that AlphaHelp was aggressively accumulating company shares.
'At this rate, it won't be long before they become a major shareholder.'
Elon had made such a fuss over the 1.24% stake.
Scott suddenly had a headache about how to report this situation.
AlphaHelp is different from the unidentified Hong Kong corporation, AK.
The person in charge of the foundation's funds is none other than Hyun-woo Na.
The rising star of Wall Street who blossomed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
And with this negative oil price crisis, that rising star has risen to the status of a superstar.
Not only that.
Hyun-woo Na, who is also attracting attention as a market leader leading Vaccine stock in the bio field, is eyeing Tesla.
And it just so happens to be at a time when Elon is most sensitive.
At a time when a fierce battle is expected over his performance compensation plan.
"Would you like to see this?"
A team member handed Scott his cell phone, who was covering his forehead and lost in thought.
[ AlphaMind (@AlphaMind_1999):
It’s me again. Watch where the money goes next. AlphaHelp is coming!
#MysteriousInvestor #CrudeOilFuturesOptions ]
But Scott had already seen the tweet.
Scott said with a sigh.
"How is it being used… They're just scooping up our stock. As a welfare foundation. Is this okay?"
Even if it wasn't because of the voting rights that AlphaHelp could exercise.
Hyun-woo Na could lead the upcoming general meeting of shareholders by fully utilizing his reputation.
In particular, Scott's eyes went blank when he imagined a scenario in which Hyun-woo Na opposed Elon's performance compensation plan.
Anyway, it's a matter of $56 billion for Elon.
It was a matter that could no longer be delayed in reporting.
Scott took a deep breath and slowly got up from his seat. It took several seconds just to lift his butt, as his body and mind were heavy.
Elon's face, glaring at him with a serious expression, was already in front of his eyes.
'How much will he freak out.'
But even Scott.
He couldn't even imagine what Elon would do.

I stared at the Tesla chart with wide eyes.
"What is this."
[Price Alert] TSLA: –10% Downward Breakthrough
Tesla's stock price was plummeting vertically.
At that time, an unmistakable warning alert rang on the Twitter app.
[Twiter] @elonmusk has shared a new post.
I paused when I checked it.
'This is out of the blue…….'
An absurd thing was unfolding.
But it was definitely clear even if I looked again. It was definitely Elon Musk's official account with the blue badge.
