Chapter 890: Falling and Falling
Barron Hilton, who visited Chen Geng's operation, watched the blood boiling.
Looking at the red-faced Barron Hilton, Chen Geng smiled and said, "What? Mr. Hilton, you also plan to play finance?"
Slightly to Chen Geng's surprise, in the face of such a considerable profit (although it is still only on the books), Barron Hilton actually kept his calm in a rare way, he shook his head: "Forget it, I know my catties." β
Chen Geng was really a little surprised, he looked at Barron Hilton with a little surprise: in the face of such an easy wealth, this guy could still maintain such calmness and sanity?
Facing Chen Geng's surprised gaze, Barron Hilton said: "I know very well where my talent is, although finance is indeed very profitable, but my talent is not here; β
Chen Geng picked his thumb: Amazing!
With such sanity in this situation, it's no wonder that Hilton Hotels & Resorts has been able to thrive under his leadership.
While he was talking, Karen Hicks came over with Chen Geng's mobile phone in his hand.
Chen Geng took the phone quietly: "Hello?"
Howard Baker's anxious voice came from the phone, and he lowered his voice and said, "I just got the news." By Sunday morning at the latest, the finance minister will launch a threat against the Federal Republic of Germany. β
"Threat?" Chen Geng was stunned.
"That's right, it's a threat," Howard Baker whispered, "The federal government is asking the Federal Republic of Germany to lower interest rates, and if the Federal Republic of Germany does not lower interest rates, the federal government will consider letting the dollar continue to fall." β
The Federal Government openly threatens the Federal Republic of Germany to lower interest rates?
Chen Geng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "Understood!"
Also, the pigs are so fat, what is the reason not to kill them for the New Year?
What kind of existence is the Federal Republic of Germany?
Just look at how many US military bases are stationed on the territory of the Federal Republic of Germany, and you can understand that this is a semi-colonial country that pretends to be a normal country.
"OK, that's it, hang up. β
After making sure that Chen Geng understood what he meant, Howard Baker hung up the phone without saying a word.
Just hung up the phone, Chen Geng saw Barron Hilton looking at him in shock, shrugged, Chen Geng said, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Mr. Fernandez," Barron Hilton, a shocked face, stammered, "that was the ...... It's ......"
"That's right," the reason why he answered Howard Baker's call here was because Chen Geng felt that he had already reached this point, and there was no need to hide it from Barron Hilton, so he nodded happily and admitted: "It's Mr. Howard Baker, Mr. Li Gen's chief of staff." β
Barron Hilton looked shocked and said as a matter of course: "No wonder...... No wonder......"
No wonder FernΓ‘ndez Chen is able to grasp every moment of market fluctuations so keenly, and with the most trusted person around the president to help him inform the news, there is no reason for him not to succeed!
As for how much Howard Baker can get in this, Barron Hilton is very smart and didn't ask, he knows very well that Chen Geng can reveal such important information to himself, which is already a great trust in himself, to put it mildly, don't see that it is Mr. Howard Baker, but behind this, who knows if there are other big people?
Chen Geng wanted this effect, and said to everyone: "I need to think about something." After that, he walked away: he really didn't know that on the eve of "Black Monday" on October 19, the U.S. government also openly threatened the Federal Republic of Germany, so it became necessary to fine-tune some parts, for example, although they all opened on Monday, but because of the time difference, Hong Kong stocks should open before each share.
........................
Howard Baker is still very reliable, on Sunday, October 18, just after everyone went to work in the morning, US Treasury Secretary James Eddie Baker announced on the American television program: "The US government hopes that the federal government will lower interest rates to stimulate the current somewhat sluggish international financial markets, and if the Federal Republic of Germany refuses to (lower interest rates), then in order to ensure the interests of the United States, the US government will consider letting the dollar continue to fall."
James Eddie Baker's words immediately caused an uproar in the whole world!
Because at this moment, James Eddie Baker is saying this on behalf of the US government, that is, his words represent the will of the United States, so the influence of this passage is also global, and this influence is first reflected in the Hong Kong stock market.
On Monday, October 19, due to the time difference, Hong Kong stocks opened before the U.S. stocks.
On this day, because the Hong Kong Island Telephone Company originally planned to announce the merger with the Hong Kong Island Dadong Telegraph Bureau to establish the super good news of the Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company, there were countless shareholders and investment institutions who were ready to buy the shares of the Hong Kong Island Telecommunications Company in the market, but when James Eddie Baker openly threatened the Federal Republic of Germany to lower interest rates as the US Treasury Secretary, this super good news did not play any role in helping and pulling Hong Kong stocks at all, at 8 o'clock in the morning, Hong Kong stocks just opened, and the market was dumped ~~Throw ~~Throw~~
And it's completely; the kind of sell-off that can't be stopped, all the blue chips are all low, and the other second- and third-level shares are also sold at low prices, and there seem to be only sellers in the market, no buyers, and at 10:15, in just two hours and fifteen minutes, the famous Hang Seng Index has fallen by 120 points, and when the stock market closes at 12 noon, the Hang Seng Index fell by more than 100 points again, and finally closed at 3524.64 points.
Ji Shengcheng was already stunned, and he asked Chen Geng stupidly, "Boss, is this ...... It's only been half a day, and the Hang Seng Index has dropped by 4%?"
It's just that while staying, Ji Shengcheng's excited face turned red: Sure enough, I was hit by the boss again......! The boss is a god!
If everything goes as expected by the boss, hehe...... This time, I can get a lot of wool from Hong Kong stocks.
"This is the beginning," Chen Geng said in a deep voice: "Look at it, it will continue to fall in the afternoon." β
Ji Shengcheng would not doubt that Hong Kong stocks would continue to fall after the afternoon open, he was just a little curious, how much could it fall in the afternoon?
"Well...... Chen Geng thought for a while and said, "I can probably fall between 3360 points and 3370 points." β
Between 3360 and 3370?
Ji Shengcheng silently calculated in his heart, and then was shocked: "You mean, in just one day, Hong Kong stocks will fall by 11%?!"
Although Chen Geng meant that the Hang Seng Index fell by 11% rather than the market value of Hong Kong stocks falling by 11%, with the status of the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong stocks, it is actually similar - perhaps even worse.
After the opening of the afternoon market, the development trend of Hong Kong stocks is indeed as Chen Geng said, once again "falling and falling", those who heard the stock market plummeted during the lunch break Stockholders have chosen to sell stocks, and investment institutions have also begun to ship a large number of goods, as for the opening of the market in just an hour, the Hang Seng Index fell 185 points again, the decline is more severe than in the morning.
What's worse is that compared to the morning, there are fewer buyers and more sellers in the market, that is, there is no one to take over those sell orders that are out, and in this case, the momentum of the stock market crash cannot be contained at all, so that by the time of the close, the Hang Seng Index fell 420 points throughout the day, directly to 3362 points.
At the close of the day, a group of traders, including Ji Shengcheng, were already looking at Chen Geng like a god: Mr. Fernandez said that the Hong Kong stock Hang Seng Index would fall between 3360 and 3370 points, and sure enough, it fell to 3362 points......
Stock God!
Absolute stock gods!
"Boss, what do you think will happen to Hong Kong stocks next, and what measures will the Hong Kong Island government take to boost market confidence?"
Chen Geng didn't answer immediately, but asked Ji Shengcheng, "What do you think?"
"I think?"
Ji Shengcheng thought for a while and said: "I don't know, but I think the Hong Kong Island government will definitely do something, after all, the Hong Kong Island stock market is the only world-class stock market in Asia." β
The financial markets of the entire Asian region are sufficient to look at the two stock markets, the Tokyo stock market and the Hong Kong Island stock market, and the Tokyo stock market and the Hong Kong Island stock market have also become barometers and weather vanes reflecting the economy of the Asian region.
Ji Shengcheng is well aware of the status of Hong Kong stocks in Asia and even the Commonwealth, so he is full of confidence that the Hong Kong Island government will do something to boost market confidence.
"You're right, the Hong Kong Island government will definitely do something," Chen Geng nodded, "but my opinion is the opposite of yours." β
"On the contrary?" Ji Shengcheng was a little confused: "What do you mean?"
"The ability and leadership style of the current leadership of the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange," Chen Geng said, "I judge that the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange will make a stinky move, the kind that stinks incomparably." β
Ji Shengcheng didn't believe it: "Won't it?"
"You look at it," Chen Geng yawned: "The U.S. stock market is about to open, I'll squint for a while......"
After speaking, he took the blanket handed by Kelly Hicks and lay directly on the mattress that had been prepared long ago.
Ji Shengcheng no longer has the slightest sleepiness, he really can't understand what kind of stinky chess can the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange make when the Hang Seng Index fell by 11% in one day?
But soon, he didn't have time to think about what measures the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange would take to save the market, because not long after he felt asleep, he was woken up by the assistant frantically......
"Sir, sir," said the assistant, whose face flushed with excitement, "Fall!
Ji Shengcheng was confused and didn't react yet: "What fell?"
