Chapter 1042: Could it be that Miss Wang lent him luck?
"If Mr. Zhou likes it, I'd certainly be happy to accompany you."
With a light in his eyes, Hu Xueyan, who didn't expect the other party to bet against him on Volkswagen's stock, added a safety word: "However, I have already spent a lot of money from my friends to short sell. How about I be the short seller?"
As we all know, Volkswagen's stock has been favored by countless hedge funds. Short sellers come one after another, and no one dares to go against the trend. The decline in Volkswagen's stock price is a foregone conclusion.
If you are not careful, the other party may ask to short sell, then you will be tying yourself up in knots.
"Of course, I won't take away someone else's favor. Based on the price on Tuesday of the last week, I'm long and Mr. Hu is short. The winner is the winner."
After looking at the date on the watch, Zhou Anan gave a deadline.
He remembered that it was the last weekend of this month when Porsche would reveal its true colors and announce its actual shareholdings, leaving those short-selling hedge funds wailing and at the mercy of the market.
Based on the transaction time, the hedge fund needs at least two working days to complete the repurchase and liquidation. So the last Tuesday should be the peak of the stock price, which is a sure profit.
"Okay, let's use the off-market funds to bet against each other. Let's use the closing price of 355 euros on the last trading day as the limit, 1 euro to 1 million Chinese yuan, how about that?"
Seeing the other party taking the initiative to fall into the trap, Hu Xueyan laughed in his heart, but on the surface he remained gentle and elegant.
If the expectations of his fund manager friend and many fund managers are followed, the normal range of Volkswagen stock should be around 200 euros. With so many hedge funds entering the market this time, it may eventually be pushed down to below 150 euros.
If that were true, that would mean a win of more than 200 million.
And Mr. Zhou from the mainland only earned over 100 million from Yuan Sishen, Lan Jinghai and others in Hong Kong.
From now on, Hu Xueyan will be the real celebrity in the Fengyun Club.
"So much? Mr. Hu, why don't we be safe and just bet 100 million."
After hearing the other party's bet, Zhou Anan secretly calculated in her heart and felt that it was not very fair.
If the historical trajectory he remembered had been followed, Volkswagen's stock would have jumped to more than twice its high that day. Based on the current share price of nearly 400 euros, that would be at least 800 euros.
According to the other party's gambling agreement, the amount would have to be at least 450 million. It's really embarrassing to win so much.
After all, he will be a small shareholder of Meifeng International in the future. If he wants to make money in Australia City, he has to give this local wealthy family some face.
100 million is better. Any more will harm his health, and any less will not show his future identity as a small shareholder of Meifeng International.
As a human being, you should be content.
"Why, Mr. Zhou doesn't dare anymore?"
Hu Xueyan raised his eyebrows, as if he saw the other party's timidity, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
If the other party really gave in and let the two noble ladies next to him know who the real man is, he wouldn't mind reducing the amount of money he bets.
That would be better than making 100 million.
"Mr. Hu, if I don't dare to do that, I'll be giving you no face. Okay, I accept this bet."
Unexpectedly, the other party used provocation. Zhou Anan couldn't help but frowned and "reluctantly" agreed to the other party's unreasonable request.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to win too much, it’s just that the other party is trying hard to give him money.
What should I do if I can’t refuse the push?
"Such an interesting bet, why don't I add one too? I wonder if Mr. Zhou is willing to accept it?"
Mukol, who was standing by, watched the two men come up with a bet worth hundreds of millions in a few words, and couldn't help but mention it out of curiosity.
Mukol, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, is not interested in ordinary small fights. This kind of gambling involving hundreds of millions of dollars is quite interesting.
However, he mainly asked questions to this young Chinese tycoon whom he met for the first time. His position was obvious. He had invested a lot of money in shorting Volkswagen stocks before, so he had no reason not to continue his position.
Ilifil had praised the other party so much before, and Mukol really wanted to see what the other party's confidence was.
In Chinese terms, it means to weigh the other party's weight.
If he wins, he won't care about the one or two hundred million. He can just tell it as a joke next time he sees Mr. Jiang.
"certainly."
Feeling that the mixed-race beauty next to him had something to say, Zhou Anan secretly exerted force with his palm to stop the other party, and quickly opened his mouth to accept the other party's entry.
Compared to the second generation of the Hu family, whom he might meet occasionally in the future, he had no psychological burden at all after winning over the younger brother of the richest man in the country of Yani.
He was really afraid that the mixed-race beauty would stand up for him and accept the other party's bet, which would mean he would lose hundreds of millions.
There was no way. This morning Zhou Anan learned that the acquisition of Meifeng International might require 13 billion yuan. According to half of the investment amount, he had to spend 6.5 billion yuan, or pay it off in one lump sum.
Originally, the funds he had reserved after the liquidation last month were about the same. At worst, he could borrow a few hundred million from the bank and then pay it back after selling the property in his hometown in Lizhou.
However, Zhou Anan initially underestimated the acquisition price. He spent 600 to 700 million yuan on real estate investment in Hong Kong City and nearly 100 million yuan in Shanghai, leaving a larger funding gap.
Now that someone has come forward to help him fill the gap, Zhou Anan can't let the other person go.
This money cannot be snatched away by the mixed-race beauty.
Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, not to mention that he and the mixed-race beauty were just casual acquaintances who met for one night, and it was not to the extent that he would voluntarily give up hundreds of millions.
"1 Euro to 1 million Hua Yuan, I don't think it's that good. How about Mr. Zhou and I exchange Hua Yuan for Euros?"
Seeing that the other party was trying hard, Mukol smiled and made a request.
As a bidder who wants to take over Meifeng International, he is of course aware that his opponents are Excalibur Capital and WZ Capital, and that the other party has a higher probability of success.
If we can use this to consume the opponent's capital of 200 to 300 million euros, we may be able to disrupt the opponent's position.
At worst, even if I lose the bidding for Meifeng International’s shares, I can still make some money, so it’s not a loss no matter how you look at it.
"Well, that's fine."
Zhou Anan held the hand of the mixed-race beauty beside him again with one hand, raised the red wine glass in his right hand without any hesitation, and responded with a loud voice.
It's just 400 or 500 million euros. Who should he look down on? It's not like he hasn't made money before.
However, Zhou Anan had never seen such a way of delivering money to the door in a safe and secure way without the need for anyone else to do anything.
"Mr. Zhou is indeed a straightforward person. We deserve a toast."
Unexpectedly, the other party agreed so readily. Mukol couldn't help but look at him with respect, raised his glass to toast him, and then drank it all in one gulp.
Among the Chinese people he knows, it is rare to find someone who can take a bet of hundreds of millions of euros so lightly.
What's more, the other party is so young and really worthy of admiration. I wonder which wealthy family's heir he is.
"Thanks."
Looking at the other party's confident smile, Zhou Anan also drank a glass.
This is a glass of red wine worth billions, how can you not drink it and enjoy it to your heart's content.
If we really win, we won’t have to pay for the acquisition of 27.5% of Meifeng International’s shares out of our own pocket.
It seems that his luck is no worse than Miss Wang's.
Could it be that Miss Wang lent him some luck?
"In that case, I'll have someone draft a gambling agreement."
Hu Xueyan, who was standing by, was very excited but powerless when he saw Mukol increase the bet 10 times in just a few words. However, he immediately ordered someone to draft an agreement to prevent the other party from going back on his word.
Although he also wanted to change the unit of the gambling funds into Euros, the prerequisite for the establishment of the gambling agreement was that the capital must be available. This was an unwritten rule in the industry.
With hundreds of millions of Huayuan, he, as the eldest son of the Hu family and the first heir, naturally has the capital that does not require capital verification.
However, Hu Xueyan believes that he does not have the strength to make a bet of hundreds of millions of euros. If the other party takes advantage of the opportunity to turn the tables, it would be a loss.
The other party wants to cooperate with Excalibur Capital to acquire the shares of Meifeng International. His worth is definitely not low, and it is not a problem for him to come up with 200 to 300 million euros.
Anyway, earning 200 million Huayuan from the other party is enough to increase his face. One should not be greedy.
Well, it’s no wonder that Yilifeier is interested in the other party. At least in terms of actual control of funds, the other party is indeed stronger than him, the heir of the Hu family.
He is not a person who deliberately ignores his own shortcomings, but Hu Xueyan believes that when he takes charge of the entire Hu family in the future, the funds in his hands will definitely not be worse than any of his peers.
This is the confidence of the first heir of the Hu family in Australia City.
"Can you do it?"
She didn't even have a chance to speak. After being secretly dissuaded by little brother An several times, Ilifier couldn't help but lean over to the other's ear and ask with concern when the dust settled.
