282. Rescue the market
October 20, morning.
Just when countless Hong Kong citizens were panicking, wondering what the US stock market would be hit like when the US stock market plummeted, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was open when it was time to open, but it did not open.
Subsequently, a news was broadcast on TV: due to the backlog of a large number of trading orders the day before, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange decided to exercise the rights granted in the "Rules of the Stock Exchange" and close the market for four days after consultation with various government departments in order to clear the backlog of transactions.
The whole port city is boiling, and the citizens are excited and cheering, they have never loved the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion so much at that moment like now.
The stock in your hand finally doesn't have to fall again!
However, can things really be so rosy?
Because he didn't sleep all night last night, Guo Yongkun slept until more than three o'clock in the afternoon before waking up leisurely.
When I got up and came to the door, I found an insulated lunch box on the dining table, and a small note left by Lan Lingyun next to it. The general meaning is that she went to work, and there was seafood porridge in the lunch box, so that Guo Yongkun remembered to drink it.
After washing, I was slowly drinking seafood porridge when the phone rang.
"Hey?" he got up and walked over to pick up the phone.
"Yongkun, have you watched the news, I'll go, do you know, Hong Kong stocks are closed, four days!" Chen Dashao snorted, and said with a machine gun: "I didn't expect the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion to be so tough this time, no! This is really for the sake of protecting the face, it is estimated that it will soon be sprayed by foreign media!"
"Really?" Guo Yongkun didn't want to be too calm, after all, this behavior was indeed a bit unpopular with the world, and everyone had to be surprised.
"Can I still lie to you, it's true! Someone is setting off fireworks outside. ”
Guo Yongkun cooperated with him to perform, and then asked, "Why are you calling me, won't you just tell me the news?"
"You forget, our family's stocks are still in the stock market and haven't been 'redeemed', you told the old man before that he was not in a hurry, he has been waiting, who would have thought that such a sudden come. He...... Well, he has mixed emotions right now and wants to invite you over for dinner in the evening. ”
Old Man Chen's psychology Guo Yongkun can understand.
On the one hand, I am glad that Hong Kong stocks have stabilized the situation, and on the other hand, I am worried that the next time the market opens, Hong Kong stocks will soar due to the government's protection. As a result, if he wants to "redeem" his shares, he will inevitably suffer huge losses.
Bouler Group is his life's work, originally the family accounted for more than 70% of the shares, with an absolute controlling stake, but later followed Guo Yongkun's advice and sold a large part, and now only 51% is left in his hands, that is, a relative controlling stake.
The company that started from scratch has lost the right to make a statement, which is definitely unacceptable to the old man.
His worries, though, were unfounded.
Thinking that the day was almost over, it was not suitable to do other things, so Guo Yongkun agreed.
……
Evening.
Guo Yongkun drove the tiger head to Repulse Bay, behind the big iron gate of the Chen family, the old man Chen was "walking" his two granddaughters, his eyes glanced out from time to time, and when he saw a tiger head running slowly, he hurriedly beckoned the maid to open the door.
The dinner was very rich, and Guo Yongkun ate a rare thing - wild yellow croaker. That is, in this era, in another ten years, the wild big yellow croaker is basically extinct, and money can't buy it.
Of course, even in this era, wild yellow croaker is also a top-quality seafood, with a market price of at least a few thousand Hong Kong dollars per catty. There is still no market.
Ye Zhenni ate very little, and the two little girls didn't say anything, and soon left the table after eating, knowing that the men had important things to talk about.
"Yongkun, this time there should be a bumper harvest in the U.S. stocks, congratulations. Old Man Chen raised his red wine glass and said.
Guo Yongkun subconsciously glanced at Chen Dashao. This kid, he hasn't had a showdown with the old man yet. Want to hide it?
I'm sorry, buddy, I can't let you get my wish, otherwise the old man will think I'm the kind of person who eats alone.
"It's okay. After Guo Yongkun took a sip of wine, he quipped, "More than a billion yuan, I have already 'shared' the spoils with Ziang." ”
"So many?" Old Man Chen was stunned and turned to look at his son.
"That, Dad. Chen Dashao scratched his head and said, "Haven't I been sleeping during the day, I plan to tell you again at night." ”
After he said this, he also kicked Guo Yongkun under the table.
Guo Yongkun kicked back. The heart said that you still dare to kick me, I have left space for you, otherwise I will directly report the specific number, so that you don't want to hide it.
"How much?" asked Old Man Chen, looking at his son.
"More than 1.5 billion points. ”
is as cunning as Chen Dashao, Guo Yongkun doesn't know what to say about him, and even deceives his own son.
In this way, he can hide more than 100 million US dollars in private money, and it is estimated that even Jenny Ye will not tell him.
"So, you have more than $700 million on you now?" asked Old Man Chen with an ambiguous expression.
"Ah......" Chen Dashao panicked for a while, feeling that his purse was a little uncoverable.
Fortunately, probably because of Guo Yongkun's presence, Mr. Chen did not continue this topic.
Chen Dashao was thinking at this time, a dose of preventive injection with Lu Xiwen in the morning, it is estimated that he still owes some heat, and he will have to visit again tomorrow.
Don't pierce it.
"Yongkun, what do you think about the four-day closure ......of Hong Kong stocks?
"It's going to plummet. "Don't wait for Old Man Chen to finish asking, Guo Yongkun has already taken over the conversation.
"Oh?" Old Man Chen frowned slightly.
In his opinion, the government personally guarded the plate, but also braved the world's condemnation, to make this kind of unprecedented initiative in the world capital market, to the shareholders to eat a big reassurance, today firecrackers and fireworks are not a few, everyone seems to have come out of the haze.
The market should improve in the future.
"Old Chen, let's talk about things, I know that you didn't get back the stocks you sold before the stock market crash, and now you're a little anxious. But you can rest assured. You can arrange it in advance, and the purchase plan is on the 25th, because Hong Kong stocks will inevitably plummet on that day. ”
And it's not a plummet, it's really a fall!" Guo Yongkun silently added in his heart.
On that day, the Hang Seng Index will leak by more than 800 points, more than twice as much as on Black Monday!
"This ...... Yongkun, are you counting, or are you ......"
"Nope. Guo Yongkun shook his head, he didn't like to play the god stick more and more. "You don't need to count this, just speculate a little. ”
Old Man Chen put down his wine glass and said in a serious tone, "Can you tell me more about it?"
"There are two factors that determine that Hong Kong stocks will inevitably plummet. The first is determined by macro factors. After all, Hong Kong stocks are a small cap, completely different from US stocks, and it is difficult for it to affect the changes in the world's major financial markets. Conversely, stocks such as the New York stock market, the London stock market, and even the Nikkei stock index, they all have a profound impact on Hong Kong stocks.
"And this time the global financial crisis broke out. Several major financial markets in the world are now mired in the quagmire, and before they have time to climb up, Hong Kong stocks will be closed for just four days to change their own situation?"
Old Man Chen's expression was solemn, and he had to admit that the young man in front of him was very right.
From this point of view, the four-day closure of the market is a symptom rather than a cure after all.
"Second, we are going to talk about this market closure. ”
Guo Yongkun continued: "This is actually a double-edged sword. On the surface, it temporarily suppressed the downward trend of the stock market, but at the same time, it also laid a landmine. It will reinvent the city's credibility as a world financial centre.
"If we think about it, if we as an investor are faced with a market that does not follow the routine, it is likely to close from time to time, what will we think......?
Old Man Chen's expression was gloomy, and he sighed and said, "Yes, I didn't consider this before, and investors will lose confidence because of it." The government's actions this time are really breaking the rules. Listening to you say that now, it's not necessarily a good thing. ”
He has already believed Guo Yongkun's previous inference: Hong Kong stocks such as the 25th will inevitably plummet when the market reopens.
"Monday has already come, and if it continues to fall, how many companies will not be able to survive......"
Guo Yongkun suddenly smiled and said, "Old Chen, you don't have to worry too much, these are only temporary, I speculate that this stock market crash will not last long." ”
"Oh, how can you see it?" Old Man Chen's eyes lit up.
"Because the current port city is no longer the port city of 1973. Old Chen, you should know better than me what the biggest changes have taken place in Hong Kong City in the past ten years. ”
"Change?" Old Man Chen really thought for a while, and suddenly seemed to grasp something, and said busily: "You mean, the transfer of capital?"
"That's right. Guo Yongkun smiled and bowed his head. "Before the 70s, the capital of the port city was basically in the hands of the British, and after the 70s, Chinese capital rose one after another.
"Now that British capital has declined, Chinese capital is booming. And these people are all local entrepreneurs like Chen Laoyou, and they are also serious Hong Kong people, and they will not sit idly by and watch the Hong Kong city economy wither. As long as the government takes the lead, they will definitely respond to every call. ”
Old Man Chen had a smile on his face again, and said with a radiant expression: "You mean to save the city?"
"That's right. Guo Yongkun asked rhetorically: "Don't Chen Lao have this idea?"
"Absolutely!"
Guo Yongkun spread his hands, that doesn't mean OK.
"One more point. ”
"You say. Old Man Chen was full of interest and said busily.
"There is a bigger difference from 1973, that is, the Sino-British Joint Declaration has been signed, and the port city is no longer an established colony, or a wanderer. It will soon return to the bosom of the Motherland. Therefore, it is not isolated, it is backed by a huge country with a population of almost a billion people!
"Although China is not rich now, its overall economic size is not comparable to that of a small port city. More importantly, no amount of negative news from the international community will affect the fact that China is a world power. And this is the international status that the port city can never obtain by virtue of its own individuality.
"Therefore, to sum up, the mainland will definitely not sit idly by and let the economic bridgehead of the motherland fall into crisis. Well, any crisis. ”
When Old Man Chen heard this, there seemed to be a glitter in the old eyes at dusk, and he said word by word: "You mean, Peng Jing will make a move!"
"Inevitably. As I said earlier, the port city is an inseparable part of China, and now that the "Sino-British Joint Declaration" has been signed and the return to the motherland has been put on the agenda, the central government has the responsibility to take any risks that the port city encounters!"
Old Man Chen raised his head, and suddenly there was an irrepressible excitement in his heart, which was a feeling of finding the backbone of the heart.
Tears......
"Ziang. ”
"Huh?" Chen Dashao, who was suddenly named by the old man and was nibbling on a pike crab, quickly raised his head.
"Get your money ready, as long as the Hong Kong government calls for it, our Chen family will take out all the cash and save the city!"
