Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 522 Turning hands into clouds, covering hands into rain

"Why is this investment plan like playing house?"

"Who said it wasn't."

Charlie looked at his father behind the European classical mahogany table, "However, I have cooperated with this guy a few times, so he is not stupid."

Hebrew Swire held an investment plan in one hand and held his chin in the other, looking thoughtful.

Is there something fishy behind the British-owned enterprises that have become friendly with Hong Kong's Chinese-funded giants, the Dong family, and are suspected of being nobles from the mainland, but suddenly buck the trend and aggressively short-sell Hong Kong stocks?

But after thinking about it, I feel that it shouldn't be the case. The mainland has just reformed its policy of opening up, and its intention to vigorously develop the economy is clearly open to international capital.

What do you need to run an economy?
Peaceful soil.

It's impossible to cause any trouble at this time.

"You have known him for some time, right? Do you know that he has played stocks before?"

"No. As we talked about earlier, he has no account in Hong Kong stocks at all. This time he opened it in the name of an investment company. Of course, the investment company has an offshore parent company, which must be in his name."

Hebrew Shwaya pondered: "Is there a possibility that someone wants to harm him?"

Charlie was startled and his eyes widened, "You mean Dong?"

He was frightened by this conspiracy theory and made an inappropriate metaphor, "Holding the emperor to order the princes?"

"Dong Shipwang is a man of great courage. In order to survive, he sold off the shipping industry with a broken arm, and the loss was more than one billion?"

Hebrew Swire could not figure out whether there was any theoretical basis for this investment.

He is as convinced as his son that it is impossible to succeed in short selling.No matter how rich the other party is, the margin paid is limited. With the strong momentum of Hong Kong stocks, they are all high-quality stocks. It may not take too long to rise a few points, and then we can directly close his position!
This farce is over.

Now, there are two questions before him:

It is to cooperate with the other party strictly and only earn commissions.

still is……

Hebrew Schweizer took a deep breath, one billion Hong Kong dollars is not a small profit.Besides, it’s not hard to make money. To a certain extent, it can even be said to be an opportunity that comes to your doorstep.

But he is a wily man who will calculate the cost of failure even if the probability is the smallest.

If we really bet against the other party and all 38 stocks are won by the other party, it means that Swire Bank will lose ten times the leverage of one billion, 100 billion.

It hurts!

It's so serious that even the Swire Group can't come up with 100 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash at once, and it has to sell off its properties to pay off its debts.

He couldn't make this decision, and he didn't dare to make it.

"You go back and stabilize him first, and I'll hold a management meeting right away."

"Okay. Hurry up, he has just mentioned that he wants to find another securities company."

Charlie returned to the office in a hurry, and according to his father's instructions, he dragged Li Jiankun into talking about various things to delay time.

Li Jiankun didn't rush him, expecting there was a meeting upstairs.The reason why the Swire Group can survive among the four established foreign banks is that no matter how Chinese capital cleans it up, it cannot be dealt with.

The root cause is not because of its strength, which is much better than Hutchison, Jardine and Wheelock.

The focus is on a relatively conservative business philosophy.

They don't do things that they are not very sure about.

If you don't expose too many vulnerabilities, it will be difficult for others to find opportunities if they want to snipe.

So rather than saying that Swire's senior executives are having a meeting, it's better to say that they are calculating how sure they are of swallowing themselves.

"Charlie, do you think my investment plan is stupid?"

"Well... to be honest, a little bit."

Okay, no more flattery.

Charlie leaned over and asked, "How did you think of investing like this?"

"Professionals have analyzed it for me. The stock prices of these companies will definitely fall in the future."

Charlie's eyes lit up. Sure enough, there was a dog-headed military advisor who made some stupid moves.And this guy’s gambling skills are really great!
"Lydia, more tea, more tea. You sit down for a while, I'll go to the bathroom."

Li Jiankun smiled and nodded, watching Charlie go out again. It was obviously a lie to go to the toilet, but it was true to go upstairs to spread the news.

About half an hour later, Hebrew Shwaya came in person and brought good news with a smile.

Do!
For Li Jiankun, this is indeed good news. Apparently after careful consideration, Swire's senior management thought that there would be no problem in swallowing him.

Charlie was overjoyed. One transaction earned his family one billion. This was no small feat. No one of his generation had ever achieved it.So he hurriedly called the securities manager and lawyer.

Li Jiankun's investment plan is very detailed, including how much money each company will short. Swire will just execute the plan according to the plan. The rest is nothing more than signing the contract and going through the formalities.Lawyer Zhou is responsible for the busy work.

While he was sitting and watching, he was thinking: How many assets does the Swire Group have?
The four major foreign banks should be very similar. From the fact that Li Chaoren and Bao Yugang destroyed the other three, we can probably get a glimpse of them.

They will never be able to come up with 100 billion in cash.

This means that after they win the bet, they have to sell their assets to complete the delivery.And if the time you choose to close your position is during a financial crisis... the assets will depreciate significantly.

Even if he is immortal in the ancient times, he must be severely disabled, right?

As for how much money he will earn after the investment is successful, it is not easy to calculate now.Swire Bank will pay him all the capital plus leverage, 100 billion.He would have to spend money to buy back the corresponding stocks and return them to Swire Bank. The exact cost would depend on the stock market conditions at that time.

In my memory, after the signing of the Joint Statement in 84, the Hong Kong stock market was in shambles.

It was by virtue of this bargain hunting that Li Chaoren won several cash cows such as Hong Kong Electric, which established his status as the richest man in China.

Of course, in this life, he is one of the few bargain hunters.
-
A few days later, Hong Hong Group was located on Hennessy Road in Wan Chai.

In the seventeenth-floor office building, the door of the chairman's office is open, and people with hurried steps and panic-looking faces run in and out from time to time.

At the same time, messages were passed in one after another.

"Someone is dumping our stock!"

"Oh no, the stock price has plummeted! Retail investors panicked and followed up like crazy!"

"It's over, it's over, there are no buy orders in the market, it's all sell orders!"

...

The eldest son of the Huang family, Huang Zhilin, with his tie pulled sideways and sweat dripping from his forehead, stood in front of the mahogany office desk, looking at his father slumped in the boss's chair, hesitant to speak.

"Who is it?!" Huang Xiaonian suddenly roared, his face ferocious.

There is only one reason to explain this abnormal stock fluctuation - someone is shorting Hongkang Group.

Go short!

No way, who makes their stocks the best?Among the 38 stocks in Li Jiankun's short-selling plan, the large investors were the least determined to hold them, so Swire Bank did not put much effort into gathering a corresponding share of stocks.

"Cough cough!"

"Daddy, calm down, your health is important."

Huang Xiaonian coughed violently, took a few deep breaths, and looked across the table with red eyes, "Tell me, what bad news is it again."

Huang Zhilin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Say!"

Huang Zhilin trembled with fright and said hurriedly: "This time the trick is not small. I made inquiries in many places and found that the black hand behind it was directed at the Securities Department of Swire Bank. It is said..."

Snapped!
Huang Xiaonian picked up a jade pendant he was playing with and threw it at it. Huang Zhilin was hit in the chest and typed the following words, "I may have over [-] million yuan worth of stock in our group, and I'm going to...sell it all."

Gah!
Huang Xiaonian's vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground.

Poor Hongkang Group's total market capitalization is only a few hundred million, so use [-] million to short them?

"Taikoo, Taikoo, ah! I provoked you!"

Huang Xiaonian's eyes were bloodshot. He suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly: "I remember, didn't Yin Zhu have a relationship with a descendant of the Shi Huaiya family? That kid seems to be at Taikoo Bank?"

"Yes."

"Let Yin Zhu come over immediately!"

"Daddy, Yinzhu left Hong Kong a few days ago."

"...This unfilial daughter! There is something wrong with the family, and she can't help at all!"

Huang Zhilin wiped his forehead again and asked: "Are we going to rescue the market?"

"Nonsense! How can they destroy all my decades of hard work?" Huang Xiaonian said fiercely, "Immediately raise funds to hedge against them!"

Huang Zhilin nodded in agreement, wailing in his heart. After a while, he was afraid that he would have to tighten his belt to live a better life.

And Hongkang Group is just a prelude.A black cloud gathered over the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, with lightning, thunder, and rumbling sounds, threatening to form a storm.

Investors can smell the uneasiness.

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange began to be crowded every day.

Who would have thought that this storm was caused by one person?
