Chapter 368: The stock market plummets
On the morning of July 17, after Li Guangyu had breakfast, he said to Cao Weiqing: "I estimate that I won't come back until later tonight, you and your cousin will eat by yourself, don't wait for me." ”
Cao Weiqing knows what Li Guangyu is doing today, and the layout for more than a month, but just for today, it is estimated that the Li Group will be very lively this afternoon, and many people will come to Li Guangyu.
Cao Weiqing said: "Okay, you pay more attention to your own safety, especially at this critical time." ”
"With Yonghong here, there's no problem, I'll go first. You also try not to appear in public for the past two days, and you don't have to answer some questions. After Li Guangyu gave some advice, he left the house.
Once the news of the impasse on the Xiangjiang issue comes out today, Li Guangyu knows that he will be pushed to the forefront again, and people from all walks of life will ask for his opinion. And this is impossible to avoid yourself. Sitting in such a position, enjoying the reputation of the richest man in Xiangjiang and the first person of the younger generation, he has to pay for it, and all walks of life in Xiangjiang are not allowed to avoid such topics.
The Hong Kong stock market continued to rise steadily this morning, and there was no fluctuation until the market closed at 11 a.m.
At noon, the noon news of Li's Jiayi TV station reported on the talks between the business circles of Xiangjiang and the leaders of the mainland, and the proposal to exchange sovereignty for governing power was explicitly rejected by the leaders of the mainland, and the mainland's determination to take back Xiangjiang will not change, and the issue of sovereignty is non-negotiable, and this cannot be used as a bargaining chip for negotiations.
As soon as the news was reported, many people in Xiangjiang panicked, full of worries about the future, and were thinking about how the future should go.
However, this matter is not over, not long after Jiayi TV reported that Li Pengfei and others were rejected by mainland leaders, TVB followed up with a report that the negotiations between Britain and the mainland government on the Xiangjiang issue had reached a deadlock, and the British government's proposal to exchange sovereignty for governing power was also rejected by the mainland.
As soon as the news of wireless came out, the citizens of Xiangjiang were even more worried about the future of Xiangjiang, and the citizens at the bottom didn't care, they couldn't leave anyway. However, some middle- and upper-class people in Xiangjiang began to think about planning for the future. The development of major groups in Xiangjiang has also been overshadowed, and once the market on the mainland side is lost, many enterprises in Xiangjiang will be greatly affected.
In addition to the rapid development of Xiangjiang in recent years, other industries have a lot of relations with the mainland, and Xiangjiang is a transit point between the mainland and the world, and many businesses have to pass through Xiangjiang.
If the negotiations do not go well, it is inevitable that the economy of Hong Kong will suffer a serious impact, and due to the different systems implemented by the two sides, many companies and citizens are full of worries about the future.
Li Guangyu was very happy after receiving the news from the Tianyu Investment and Securities Department, and originally thought that a report from his side would be enough. Unexpectedly, Run Run Shaw Wireless gave himself a divine assist, and directly reported that the negotiations between Britain and the mainland were deadlocked.
Li Guangyu doesn't know how the wireless side got this news, but it doesn't matter now, it's good for himself, the two news are superimposed, and the stock market will plummet at the opening of this afternoon.
At present, many company leaders and citizens in Hong Kong do not know the future situation of Hong Kong, especially those who have stocks in their hands, and they must be scrambling to sell their stocks and get the money in their hands to be safe.
Li Guangyu said: "Jianping, you instructed our on-site personnel to pay attention to the changes in the listed companies that we are bearish on in the afternoon, and report to the company at any time if there is the latest news." ”
Sun Jianping replied, "Li Sheng, I will inform you of your orders." ”
At two o'clock in the afternoon, as soon as the major exchanges opened, the Hang Seng Index began to dive, and countless shareholders hoped to sell their stocks immediately, but there were few people who took over.
This time, not only the shareholders panicked, but Niu Bijian and others also panicked, why is this like this. How dare the mainland reject the proposal of the local government and the youth delegation of the business community in Hong Kong in this way, and they don't care about the wishes of the citizens of Hong Kong?
Niu Bijian and several people in the securities department of HSBC constantly listened to the decline in the stock prices of their listed companies, their expressions were very gloomy, and they were happy for a month, and they were hit by this change.
At the same time, these people are also thinking about how to deal with it now, they now have such a huge amount of orders in their hands, and it is obviously not easy to transfer them.
Niu Bijian said: "Mr. Shen Bi, you HSBC can provide us with a sum of money. I started to come in to bail out the market. ”
However, it is a pity that Shen Bi did not agree to Niu Bijian's request, and now anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Xiangjiang stock market is about to take a big dive, and HSBC's funds will have no effect on smashing into it, and it will only lose money in vain.
And this time I received the same order of 2 billion Hong Kong dollars from the Li Group, this time the loss is not a small number, and my position in HSBC is only a little unstable.
On the Standard Chartered side, Powell Wilson is not worse, they accepted the order of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars from the Li Group, and after the British headquarters knew about today's situation, it was estimated that it was time for them to leave.
New Bijian and John Shihuaia and John Madden are not good-looking, HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank do not give financial support, and the current position needs funds to make up, and if they want to pull back the market value of listed companies, they need a lot of funds, where can they raise funds now.
Niu Bijian knew that his position in the Jardine Matheson Group this time was over, and the Keswick family would not let himself do this position again. This time, the Jardine Group took over the 20 billion order of the Li Group, accounting for nearly half of the alliance, and in just over half an hour, the stock market has fallen to more than 1,600 points, which is lower than when they entered the market last month.
Shen Bi and Powell Wilson are now more worried that these few will no longer cover their positions and let them blow up. Where are they going to find someone to take over now, and then their bank will lose a lot.
Even if they find these three groups to make up for their losses later, it is quite troublesome, and their own two banks dare not rely on Li Guangyu's accounts. If this is done, Standard Chartered and HSBC will not have to mix in Hong Kong.
Shen Bi said: "Mr. Niu Bijian, please also prepare some funds to deal with the problem of replenishment at any time, of course, if you are willing to transfer out, our securities department will also operate." It's just that the current market is estimated to have some difficulties, and besides, the number of orders of your major groups is huge, so you must be prepared in this regard. ”
The three of them were even more dissatisfied when they heard this, these two major banks didn't help you, and they actually let themselves prepare funds to make up their positions. Looking at the current situation, I am afraid that the replenishment is just to accompany more money inside.
Niu Bijian said: "Shen Bi, Wilson, are you HSBC and Standard Chartered willing to take over our order, we will directly transfer it to your securities department, so it is convenient, and then you can trade directly with Li Guangyu, and you don't need to ask for our opinion." ”
Shen Bi was very unhappy when he heard this, am I a fool? At this time, I will take over the list in your hands and let you get out, and we HSBC will come to cushion your back.
Shen Bi said: "Mr. Niu Bijian, our securities department can only help you find customers who are willing to eat your list, and we have no plan to take your list by ourselves. ”
Powell Wilson will not take over the list in the hands of these companies, the list of his own bank is enough to be unlucky, and if he eats the list of several of you, it is estimated that his bank will fail.
After Shen Bi refused, Powell Wilson also rejected Niu Bijian's proposal, and asked Niu Bijian and others to make up the position at any time, otherwise they would be forced to liquidate, and if they still couldn't make up for the loss, they would need several major groups to make up for it.
