Chapter 1121: The Governor of Xiangjiang (Second Vote)
As a futures exchange in Hong Kong, but the stock index period of other countries as a trading commodity, this operation is very sassy, once realized, it will definitely shock the financial community, after all, there is no such precedent in the world!
But just because you can't do it doesn't mean you can't do it!
And even if Xia Yu doesn't do it now, in a few years, someone will set this precedent.
In fact, Xia Yu is ready to cut off the future of the Star City International Financial Exchange that has not yet appeared in one fell swoop, seize the fortune of the Star City International Financial Exchange, and build Xiangjiang into a futures trading center in Asia and even one of the futures trading centers in the world.
In the previous life, Star City in the field of futures to build a very good, established in 1984 Star City International Financial Exchange, in 1986 before the island countries launched the Nikkei 225 stock index futures, once launched, it shocked the entire Asian financial community, and then affected the world, attracting a large number of international financial institutions to enter Star City, so that Star City International Financial Exchange has become the main place for international financial institutions to trade Nikkei 225 stock index futures.
To what extent has the Star City International Financial Exchange achieved Nikkei 225 stock index futures?
It has achieved the highest height in the world!
Even though the island country urgently launched Nikkei 225 stock index futures in 1988, it took more than 30 years to catch up, and it still only achieved half the volume of Nikkei 225 stock index futures on the Star City International Financial Exchange!
It can be said that this is a shame for the financial circles of the island countries, and many people in the financial circles of the island countries are indignant, but they shout in their hearts that they go to the Star City International Financial Exchange to trade Nikkei 225 stock index futures.
In fact, Nikkei 225 stock index futures were preemptively developed by Star City, and the island countries themselves also have a great responsibility.
After all, in this era, in the world's developed countries, if a financial index is launched, stock index futures derivatives will appear, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries are the same, Xia Yu's FTSE index company launched the FTSE index, and the futures exchange soon launched the corresponding FTSE index futures?
But among them, only the island nation is special.
This is because of the restrictions imposed by the island's own laws and regulations.
The island nation's securities and exchange laws now prohibit securities investors from engaging in futures trading. Therefore, the current securities market of island countries does not have the legal conditions for launching stock index futures trading.
However, now the island country's economy is very prosperous, surpassing the red Soviet Union in 1978, and the country's GDP ranks second in the world, and the strong economic scale has boosted the island country's stock market to continue to expand, in this case, the island country's Nikkei 225 index has no futures contract, which is obviously a big cake and no one cares about it.
It's no wonder that the chicken thief's star city covets it!
With the influence of Nikkei 225 stock index futures, Star City International Financial Exchange grew rapidly, and then successively launched crude oil futures, after becoming the first financial futures exchange in Asia, it became the first energy futures trading market in Asia, and in 2000, it was rated as the world's best derivatives exchange of the year!
Now Xia Yu asked the Heung Kong Futures Exchange to do this in advance, and also launched the British FTSE 100 stock index futures and Hang Seng Index futures together, which can not only bring the honor of the first financial futures exchange in Asia to the Heung Kong Futures Exchange, but also cut off the future of the Star City futures market in one fell swoop.
Without a strong futures market, how will Star City compete with Heung Kong for the status of Asia's financial center in the future?
Xia Yu is confident that once the Nikkei 225 stock index futures are launched, it will definitely be enough to become one of the pillars supporting the Hong Kong Futures Exchange.
In addition to Nikkei 225 stock index futures, the Hang Seng Index futures, FTSE 100 stock index futures and natural rubber futures designated by Xia Yu can all become pillar futures commodities.
Needless to say, after the launch of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange in the previous life, the trading volume of Hang Seng Index futures accounted for more than 90% of the entire futures exchange at its peak.
As for the FTSE 100 stock index period, although the London Futures Exchange has been launched now, with the connection between the financial circles of Hong Kong and the financial circles of the United Kingdom, and considering the time difference between Hong Kong and London, as well as the international financial institutions that are gathered in Hong Kong, it will definitely be able to grab a part of the market.
The natural rubber futures, the market is even larger, after all, rubber is the world's transportation industry, and many fields of industry need rubber.
In the future, natural rubber will be traded on the Tokyo Industrial Exchange, the Modu Futures Exchange, the Star City Exchange and the Thai Agricultural Products Exchange, and natural rubber futures will be sufficient to support these four major futures markets.
But at this time, only the Tokyo Industrial Exchange has the world's only natural rubber futures.
Although Xiangjiang does not have the huge rubber consumer market of the island country, Xiangjiang is close to Southeast Asia, a rubber production area, and Xia Yu can obtain the support of Southeast Asian rubber giants, which is enough to support the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange to create natural rubber futures.
Natural rubber futures, he was already in the layout as early as last year, although the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange lags behind the Tokyo Industrial Products Exchange, but it can definitely compete with it!
In the afternoon of the next day, Xia Yu gave Wang Qi the suggestions and plans he had written for the establishment of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange.
......
According to the past situation, after the new governor of Xiangjiang takes office, a celebration ball will be held jointly by the bigwigs of Xiangjiang's political and business circles, and it is usually on the third day after taking office.
But after Peter Monroe took office, the ball was postponed by him.
Because on the evening of May 22, Peter Monroe took the initiative to come to Kowloon with his entourage to visit Xia Yu!
Anyway, Peter Monroe is the governor of Xiangjiang, although he is just a puppet, but Xia Yu still gave him enough face and welcomed him at the door in person, which made the depression in Peter Monroe's heart, who took office with a depressed mood, dissipate a lot.
"Governor Peter Monroe, welcome!"
"Mr. Xia, thank you for welcoming me personally, I am deeply honored!"
"Also, you can call me by my Chinese name, Su Xingjian!"
"Haha, okay, Governor Su, please in the house!"
Xia Yu's parents and family extended a warm welcome to Su Xingjian's arrival, especially Xia Yu's parents, who did not know the transaction between Xia Yu and the British Prime Minister, so they were flattered by the Governor of Xiangjiang's personal visit.
However, Su Xingjian had already corrected his mentality, seemed very easy-going, and gave Xia Yu's younger brothers and sisters a well-prepared small gift.
Next, Xia Yu invited Su Xingjian to enjoy a warm and hearty dinner together.
After dinner, Xia Yu invited Su Xingjian to chat in the pavilion in the garden.
Maybe Su Xingjian was straight-hearted, and after sitting down in the garden, he didn't hide it at all, and directly confessed to Xia Yu and said: "Mr. Xia, before coming to Xiangjiang, the prime minister and the foreign minister came to me together and explained some things to me clearly. ”
Xia Yu poured a cup of tea for Su Xingjian, and said with a smile: "Governor Su, thank you!"
"We are in contact for the first time today, you may not know me well, I like to make friends the most, and I will take the initiative to think about others, I can't do things that make friends embarrassed. ”
"Since you have come to Xiangjiang to take office, then I will definitely give you full support for the governance of Xiangjiang and make outstanding achievements. ”
"And I'm very good friends with Prince Philip and Duke Howard, and the Bright Fund is also my business with some of my friends, and I think I have some connections in British business and politics. ”
"Regardless of the difficulties you or your family have in Hong Kong or in the UK, just tell me that I am happy to help my friends in my best hands. ”
Su Xingjian's eyes lit up slightly, and he understood what Xia Yu meant, and his mind suddenly became active.
He also has two children of his own, and the Monroe family is also a small family in the UK, and he is the patriarch of the Monroe family.
He suddenly realized that although he was going to be a puppet in Xiangjiang this time, if he could have a good relationship with Xia Yu, it would be an opportunity to quickly expand the family, and this might be a huge opportunity!
He also inquired that Xia Yu has a good network at the top of the United Kingdom, and is the head of a consortium, as long as Xia Yu is willing to help him sincerely, then the next generation of members of the Monroe family, whether they are in business or politics, have a bright future, and his Monroe family may also become a big family in the United Kingdom......
After having this idea, Su Xingjian's mentality changed significantly, his tone unconsciously softened, and his posture was lowered.
"Mr. Xia, thank you, you are the first friend I have made since I came to Xiangjiang, and you will be the most sincere friend......
Next, the two chatted very comfortably, chatting until more than nine o'clock in the evening, Su Xingjian realized that it was not too early before he said goodbye, Xia Yu personally sent him out of the door, waving his hand to watch his car disappear into the night.
