Chapter 1175: Failure of Financial Means

There are so many forces attending the meeting this time that it is impossible for them to be completely in line with the Lee consortium and the Japanese consortium, and there are always some people who are willing to be vassals of the American consortium, so that the content of their meeting has already reached the ears of the American consortium before it is overnight.

While Lee and the others were resting, the United States was also making arrangements for major Asian stock markets, preparing to have a head-to-head battle with the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium in the last few days.

On Tuesday morning, the stock markets of South Korea, Japan, and Indonesia, which were the first to open, immediately rebounded, and the positive news continued to come out from the outside world, so that investors and some investment institutions around the country were full of confidence in the economy for a period of time in the future.

Subsequently, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Singapore also continued this good momentum at the opening, and the Hang Seng Index returned to the position of 2,900 points, moving towards 3,000 points, and then the Thai stock market opened with a sharp rise, and the stock markets of the entire East Asia and Southeast Asia rebounded across the board.

At this time, in the investment department of Citibank in Hong Kong, many representatives of American tour capital were here to discuss the layout of the Hong Kong Exchange.

Schroder Elson, head of Merrill Lynch Securities, said loudly: "Swat, now that the Lee consortium has invested 10 billion US dollars in Malaysia and Thailand in addition to the funds invested in Japan and Singapore, I believe that even if the Li consortium still has funds, it will definitely not be too much, why is Citi still reluctant to make a move at this time, you are violating the mutual agreement at the headquarters." ”

Now Merrill Lynch is really a little anxious, the Japanese stock market is very huge, so their California consortium and its allies have invested the most in it, if the Nikkei rebounds, they will not only be busy in the past few months, but also lose a lot of money.

Now the financial center of Asia is in Xiangjiang, and the Xiangjiang stock market directly affects the stock markets in Asia, especially the stock markets in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and the Li consortium, as the main market maker of the Hong Kong stock market, is rushing to the help of the stock markets in Asia, and now the Hong Kong stock market is the easiest to attack compared with other stock markets.

The stock markets in several other regions have the financial support of the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium, and because the stock market capacity is small, they simply have no good way to suppress the local stock index, let alone cause panic among shareholders and investment institutions in various places.

If they still want to turn around now, then there is only one way, that is, to let the Xiangjiang stock market suffer a heavy blow, let the Hang Seng Index plummet, Xiangjiang is the foundation of the Li consortium, and the Li consortium is forced to withdraw funds from all over the country in order to protect the Xiangjiang stock market, so that the stock market will inevitably plummet, and they will be able to earn enough profits from all over the country.

As for the Xiangjiang side, don't think about it, since the failure in July, they have no intention of attacking the Xiangjiang stock market this time, so they have not shorted the Hang Seng Index on futures at all, and they don't have much profit to collect on the Xiangjiang Exchange.

This time it was a completely helpless choice, they didn't expect the Li consortium to be so rigid this time, knowing that they were behind the layout, they still had to jump out and make enemies of them.

Even though the Japanese consortium and the Lee consortium were competing fiercely in many industries such as retail, home appliances, and electronics, the Lee consortium still joined forces with the Japanese consortium to launch a large-scale sniper against them, and expanded the battlefield to various stock markets in Southeast Asia.

As the head of Citibank Xiangjiang and the head of the Citi consortium's operation in Asia, Jefferson Swart is not too anxious now, this time their Citigroup basically did not make a move in Asia, even if the Asian operation fails, they will not lose much.

After the responsible persons of Merrill Lynch, Chicago, Boston, and Cleveland made speeches, he spoke up and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, your major consortia must also have information about the Lee Consortium, and they also have special research groups of the Lee Consortium. Do you think that the Lee Consortium or Li Guangyu is the kind of person who is not prepared for the Xiangjiang stock market?

Do you think that Li Guangyu will naively think that the content of yesterday's meeting can be kept secret, believe it or not, we will not play any role at all, and I can tell you clearly that if we only act according to the stock market this time, it will no longer play any role, and I believe you all know what is going on in this global financial crisis.

However, the Asian region is indeed the fastest growing region in recent years, and their economy does not have much problem at all, and now whether it is Japan and South Korea, the Greater China region, or the ASEAN countries, the economic growth rate is very fast, and there is no such thing as economic weakness.

As long as there are several major consortia to protect the disk, some other regional capital and investment institutions will not sell, and the major listed companies will repurchase their own company's shares, and our action has been a failure from the financial level. ”

The heads of Merrill Lynch, Chicago and other consortia in Xiangjiang are obviously unwilling, and admitting defeat like this is definitely not what they want to see.

You must know that the Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, Mellon and other consortia are making great progress in Western Europe, and the stock market there has not rebounded much at all, so that they have achieved the purpose of this operation and reaped huge benefits.

However, these consortia are facing such a situation in Asia, which has to make people suspect that a single family-based conglomerate is obviously superior to a joint conglomerate, which is a considerable blow to these conglomerates.

In the United States, there are Rockefeller and Morgan, Japan's Mitsui, Iwasaki, Sumitomo, and Yasuda's four major families, and Xiangjiang's Lee consortium.

The division of the US operation is also interesting: a consortium dominated by a single family is responsible for the stock markets of Western Europe and Canada, and a consortium dominated by a consortium is responsible for the stock markets of Asia and Australia.

Schroeder Elson said loudly: "Swat, you are so sure that the Lee consortium will not go the other way, and now the Lee consortium has invested more than $5 billion in the Japanese stock market, more than $3 billion in Singapore, plus $10 billion in support of Malaysia and Thailand, that's $20 billion."

In addition, it is necessary to protect the Xiangjiang stock market, and the Li consortium has at least set aside nearly 30 billion US dollars, which is all cash, how much reserve funds do you think the Li consortium still has.

If nothing else, Swat, I'll ask you Citi if you can come up with $30 billion in cash without using your clients' funds. ”

In the face of Elson's questioning, Swart really couldn't answer, if they didn't use customer funds, how could they have such a strong reserve of funds, Citi expanded with customer money, and their own capital reserves were very small.

However, he also had a reason to fight back, and he said loudly: "Since you know that we can use customer funds, do you think Li Guangyu will not? You must know that Tianyu Bank is a bank wholly owned by the Li consortium, and it will be easier for them to use it than us. ”

Swat's words completely aroused the interest of those present, and now they can't control so much, no matter what means, as long as they can reap the benefits.

Li Guangyu is still in the Tianyu investment department, paying close attention to the movements of the stock market in various places, and he has also been guarding against the attack of American consortiums on the stock market.

He had no idea that some people in the US consortium were simply unwilling to play according to the rules of the stock market, and that the other side would adopt some special measures to cause all parties to lose confidence in East and Southeast Asia.
