Hearing this, Giuseppe Eskenazi breathed a sigh of relief, and a surge of blood surged up in his head.

"Damn it!"

He couldn't help but curse hatefully.

Although he had guessed before that the enemy would find a way to hide, when the matter was really confirmed, he was still a little difficult to accept, and the anger in his heart had nowhere to vent.

Since Xia Yu has decided to do it, and it is still in the UK, which is not his own territory, of course he will not give authority to others.

In order to clear up the relationship, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to come forward, and George Berkeley asked his loyal subordinates to come forward through a temporary worker in another shell company, and privately found five people who didn't know each other, these five were rotten gamblers with credit problems, and they didn't care about any credit at all, as long as they had money, they were willing to do anything.

And what Xia Yu paid was only five deposits to enter the Sotheby's auction house, 10,000 pounds per person, which cost 50,000 pounds.

Of course, the 50,000 pounds were lost, but compared to the profits from shorting, the 50,000 pounds was a drizzle.

Giuseppe Eskenazi took a deep breath to calm himself down, and he asked his cousin with a cold face, "Robert, what is the situation of that Chinese named Hua Shengshi now?"

There were problems with the Chinese cultural relics that he provided for auction, and Giuseppe immediately suspected Hua Shengshi after calming down the day before yesterday.

After all, with the insidious deeds he did, there was a ghost in his heart, and if something went wrong at this time, he would inevitably suspect Hua Shengshi with a malicious attitude.

What's more, he deliberately competed with Hua Shengshi for Chinese cultural relics before, but Hua Shengshi retreated directly and didn't react at all, which seemed very strange in the first place, but nothing had happened before, so he didn't care too much.

Robert Eskenazi shook his head again at his cousin's disappointed gaze: "I asked people to investigate, he stayed in his shop most of the day, and even his buddies rarely went out, and did not find any suspicious information. ”

They didn't know that Xia Yu had acquired the Treasure Pavilion, and after Xia Yu acquired it before, it was still handed over to Huashengshi to operate, and the change of ownership only needed to be signed on paper, and the Treasure Pavilion was not a listed company, so there was no need to announce this information to the outside world.

Giuseppe Eskenazi looked at Robert Eskenazi intently, and the latter looked hot on his face and lowered his head in shame.

"Hey......"

"You can't relax, keep checking, as soon as you have key information, tell me immediately!"

"That's it, I'll take care of things first. ”

After sending Robert Eskenazi away, Giuseppe Eskenazi immediately gathered the company's executives and directors to brainstorm solutions to the current difficulties.

After all, Eskenazi Co., Ltd. is a listed company, and although most of the shares are in the Eskenazi family, the company still has foreign shareholders.

Now that Eskenazi Ltd. is on fire and its share price has plummeted, some shareholders are no longer satisfied, and he must appease them and use their strength to get through it.

The external troubles have been difficult to solve, and there must be no more internal worries!

......

At the headquarters of Guangming Fund Company, Xia Yu sat on a chair in the chairman's office and looked at the company's operation, which was submitted by George Berkeley after coming to the company early this morning.

After reading it, Xia Yu closed the document happily.

Through the operating data during this time, Xia Yu can see that the company's development momentum is very good, and George Berkeley did not disappoint him.

George Berkeley used his previous connections to build a good partnership with a number of large banks, borrowed a total of 50 million pounds, and then set up a separate foreign exchange market operation department to leverage the dollar/pound exchange rate.

In the past two months, the pound has been appreciating against the dollar, from 2.121 to 2.175, and the Bright Fund has benefited 22 million pounds, which is a very impressive result.

And this is still George Berkeley's independent performance, Xia Yu has not mentioned him before, which is what makes Xia Yu the most satisfied.

An elite talent who doesn't have to worry about him and can make money for him is really rare!

In addition to this, Bright Fund's acquisition plan is also progressing well, acquiring a 3.72% stake in Standard Chartered Bank and a 4.21% stake in the Royal Bank of Scotland from the stock market through a number of offshore shell companies.

In the past one-twelfth of the two-year plan, although the equity acquired by each bank is less than one-twenty-fifth of the total share capital, if you think about the number of shares dispersed among ordinary shareholders and small and medium-sized investment institutions, you can see that there are already a lot of shares acquired.

"Sissi, you go and inform George and ask him to come here. ”

"Okay!"

A few moments later, a high-spirited George Berkeley in a suit and leather shoes arrived at the office.

"George, sit down!"

motioned for George Berkeley to sit on the sofa, and Xia Yu also got down from his position and sat opposite him.

"I looked at the data during this time, you did a good job, didn't disappoint me, keep it up, and you will receive a super big bonus at the end of the year!"

Xia Yu didn't ask him first, but praised him with a smile.

George Berkeley smiled, bowed slightly to Xia Yu, and thanked: "Boss, thank you for your generosity!

Xia Yu smiled and didn't say anything more, anyway, at the end of the year, his actions would give the strongest proof.

"How's Sotheby's and Eskenazi Ltd. are doing?"

"Boss, through the preparation of short selling in the early stage, the floating profit has now reached 19.6 million pounds, including 15.4 million pounds in the short sale of Sotheby's auction house, and 4.2 million pounds in the short sale of Eskenazi Co., Ltd. ”

George Berkeley immediately reported several sets of data.

After handing over the operation to Xia Yu early in the morning, George Berkeley stayed in the short selling group dedicated to the two major companies, and these data were all the latest statistics.

Xia Yu thought of the extent of the decline of the two companies, and combined with the data reported by George Berkeley, he immediately calculated a rough data, Bright Fund shorted the two companies, and the equity of the bet was about 20%.

It is precisely because of this that the two companies have fallen by nearly 100 million pounds in total, and the Bright Fund has earned nearly 20 million pounds.

However, 20 percent of the equity is not too small, after all, excluding the shares held in the hands of controlling shareholders and real shareholders, and then removing the shares remaining in the hands of ordinary shareholders, the equity in the hands of institutions is only 30 percent at most, or even less.

Being able to find two-thirds of the 30 percent equity to bet on is already quite high, and without a certain ability to fool, it is really difficult to bring these financial elites into the ditch.

From the layout to now, it has only been half a month, but it has made a profit of nearly 20 million pounds, which is very terrifying but normal.

After all, the profit of shorting is more profitable than making long.

Xia Yu knows that in the American financial market, the two giants of the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family like to go short, and in order to grab profits, they will use all kinds of resources, and even play black hands.

In the previous life, many of China's large companies were listed on the US stock market, and many large companies were hacked, making billions of dollars in profits at every turn, how could those predators on Wall Street not be moved?

Even the big A-shares of later generations...... With the memories of those bigwigs, Xia Yu is very clear about the truths that are not known to the general public from 2015 to 2016.

It's breathtaking to think about.

Forget it, anyway, the previous life has nothing to do with him, and in this life, his butterfly is getting stronger and stronger, the process of Huaxia and the world has already changed, and the future is already unpredictable, and he is now thinking about these in vain!

Xia Yu shook his head, cleared irrelevant thoughts from his mind, looked at George Berkeley, and asked three questions:

"How many stocks have been sold, how many of the shares we have left behind, and how many have we bought in the market?"
