Chapter 220 Before the Third Sniper War
Seeing that half of his goal was achieved, Li Jiacheng nodded in satisfaction. After all, it was not easy to achieve this level! You have to know that these real estate developers are usually scheming and fighting with each other. How can they sit together calmly to discuss how to deal with the attack of foreign forces? ...
After these industry leaders left one after another, Li Jiacheng's son Li Zeju, who also participated in the meeting, looked at his father in confusion and asked, "Our Cheung Kong Group's real estate development projects in China are not as good as those of our peers such as Henderson Group and New World Group. Why did you go to so much trouble to convene this meeting, hoping that they can unite and overcome difficulties together?"
Seeing that his son was still very puzzled by his behavior, Li Ka-shing smiled and did not answer directly, but said meaningfully, "These people have had this plan for a long time, but due to the grievances and entanglements over the years, they have not been able to gather together and discuss cooperation calmly."
"We, Cheung Kong Group, don't have many commercial conflicts or conflicts of interest with them. We provide them with a venue as a platform for negotiation. It is a hundred benefits for us. We can also gain a lot of favors. Why not do it?"
Hearing his father Li Jiacheng say this, Li Zeju couldn't help but think of his company's industrial layout. It was indeed as he said. Their real estate investment in Hong Kong was not as much as that of several other real estate giants. The ones who should be anxious and worried were those big guys just now! ...
In the office building where Quantum Fund is located in New York, USA.
The staff of Quantum Fund, who had been keeping a close eye on the changes in the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, quickly summarized the situation of the past few days and reported to Soros.
When Soros saw that the Hong Kong stock market was experiencing frequent fluctuations due to the tentative attacks of international speculators, he quickly realized that the current situation of the Hong Kong stock market was quite unstable.
This is exactly the best time he hopes to see to take action. He wants to take advantage of the fact that public opinion continues to ferment and a large number of financial institutions and investors continue to be bearish on the Hong Kong stock market and launch a new round of financial sniping war. In this way, the news will be completely confirmed.
At that time, those companies and investors who are still optimistic will inevitably flee. This will inevitably lead to further decline and failure of Xiangxiang City and the overall economy, which will also further increase their profits from shorting the Xiangjiang stock market.
Having made up his mind, Soros quickly asked his subordinates to contact his previous partners. He planned to hold a round of discussions within the next two days. After the negotiations were completed, they would start a new round of "short selling feast".
Hearing that their boss was about to start a new round of big moves, the subordinates were also very excited. The higher the returns their Quantum Fund made from external financial investments, the more commissions they, the staff, would get. As for what miserable fate the targets targeted by their Quantum Fund would have, that was not something they needed to consider.
…
With the move of Quantum Fund, financial institutions on Wall Street also got wind of it very quickly. Driven by huge profits, they quickly began to mobilize funds and entered the market one after another, hoping to get a piece of the huge pie of Hong Kong in the next financial sniping war.
Just in the futures market, futures contracts for shorting the Hang Seng Index are piling up rapidly like snowflakes, and the cumulative amount of short selling has successfully exceeded US$15 billion and is still increasing.
(Note: In order to increase their short selling power and subsequent profits, many institutions have increased their leverage by 3-4 times. It is under this situation that the momentum of short selling funds has become even greater, giving Hong Kong unprecedented pressure.)
It is also under this huge pressure that the Hong Kong-listed companies, which originally had little confidence, are particularly panicked. The real estate giants who had previously huddled together for warmth are also trembling at this moment. This is not 15 billion US dollars, but it is already hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars when converted into Hong Kong dollars.
With so much money invested, these institutions must want to kill them, so how could they let them go easily? Many representatives of listed companies saw that things were not going well, so they contacted each other and tried to make a request to the Hong Kong official departments together, hoping that they could intervene and mediate.
…
Inside the vice president's office at Goldman Sachs, Wall Street.
Seeing the latest news from his subordinates, Mato Walsh was very excited. Not long ago, he mobilized a sum of 300 million US dollars and decisively invested it in the futures market.
According to Zhang Junfeng's previous reminder, he only added three times the leverage this time. After all, he didn't dare to invest more money before the definite news came out. If something went wrong, he could hardly afford a bigger loss.
Now the Quantum Fund and those greedy international speculators have entered the market to place bets, obviously launching a new round of sniping war on the Xiangjiang stock market. He has successfully taken advantage of this opportunity!
Thinking of this, Mato Walls subconsciously asked about the situation on Jacqueline Bernard's side. After all, they had previously mobilized nearly 1.5 billion in funds and planned to make a fortune in Russia. It should be about time.
The subordinate nodded and said in a positive tone, "They have indeed started to take action. According to my colleagues, they have borrowed a large amount of rubles from banks in Russia through special middlemen. I think it won't take long to complete the initial layout."
Hearing his subordinates say this, Mato Wals was also in a very happy mood. As long as the situation is really as Zhang Junfeng had expected and analyzed before, then he can take this opportunity to completely defeat one of his competitors!
By then, Jacqueline Bernard, whose investment failed and brought huge losses to the group, would not be able to compete with him for the position of president. It would still be a question whether he could continue to work at Goldman Sachs. After all, Goldman Sachs is not a charity. Once such a huge loss is caused to the group, no matter who it is, it will not be forgiven or pardoned.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Moreover, once the group suffers huge losses, the subsequent listing of the group is likely to be affected. After all, if you want to raise more funds in a short period of time, listing in advance, raising the stock price and cashing out is undoubtedly a very good way.
Mato Walsh was calculating quickly in his mind. It seemed that after the turmoil of shorting the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index was over, he would need to negotiate with Zhang Junfeng, Leon John and other partners. He had to prepare in advance and raise a considerable amount of funds to buy shares of Goldman Sachs Group.
