Chapter 55: Henry's Move
PS: Thank you very much!
Ever since Wednesday morning received the good news from New York, Henry and Peter were delighted to celebrate. After the two of them had calmed down, Henry and Peter discussed how to extract the maximum value from the good news.
It is inevitable that this good news will be disclosed to Hong Kong's financial media. This will further enhance the brand reputation of Victory Securities and Gold No. 1 Investment Fund. Such initiatives are a regular means of publicity.
Henry asked Peter if he could come up with something new in his propaganda methods.
Peter, who has been in Hollywood for many years, still knows a lot about publicity. He offered Henry two basic ideas: to praise people and things.
Praise people: Just like the protagonist in a propaganda movie, engage in idol character design and cultivate worshippers. But this kind of hype involves the boss Andrew himself, which is not very easy to deal with.
Praise the matter: It is to expand the process of futures investment, make it concrete, story-based, and highlight the thrilling process of futures investment.
As for the two propaganda ideas provided by Peter, praise people and praise things, Henry felt that they were not very applicable.
Henry explained to Peter's analysis that investors buy Gold No. 1 Investment Fund, and the focus is on investment returns. Benefiting more and benefiting early is the key.
From the perspective of multiple benefits, the gold No. 1 investment fund has achieved 40% investment income after more than ten days of closed positions, which is halved, and 20% is also a big surprise.
That's right, this time when it was publicized externally, it was notified with a halving and 20% rate of return. In this way, there is room for continuous time in publicity, and at the same time, it can continue to increase returns, which also represents the investment stability of the Gold No. 1 Investment Fund.
The investment stability of the fund is more important to investors. For fund companies, it also reduces the pressure on the redemption of fund shares.
If you benefit early, you will have to reduce the time for the fund to close your position, and the originally announced closed position opening period is 2 months. Now it seems that in order for investors to feel the effect of early benefit, then the fund will be opened in advance and enter the subscription period.
However, funds that enter the subscription period must publish the net value of fund shares every day. I wonder how Peter, you got that copy of the "Outlook Financial Daily", how is it going?
Peter was listening attentively to Henry's analysis. Unexpectedly, as soon as Henry turned around, the matter came to him. When he came back to his senses, he replied:
"Outlook Financial Daily" is now tentatively set as four folio pages, the layout setting has been completed, and the next thing is to fill in the content. ”
Henry said: "In this way, then, Peter, you can communicate with the Lookout Magazine in the afternoon and inquire about when they can start printing and selling at the earliest." ”
"Okay, I'll communicate with the magazine in the afternoon to determine the date of the Outlook Financial Daily. Peter responded.
Just before noon, Mr. Bill, the head of the intelligence team, came to Henry's office. reported on the changes in the stocks of Wharf and Jardine Matheson, which have been focusing on for a long time.
Here's the thing, in the morning, after the Wharf stock opened rapidly up, the trading volume was significantly enlarged, and the intraday trend was very similar to the situation of pulling up and selling.
Through some information provided by Wharf's internal line, after analysis and investigation, it was determined that Jardine Matheson, the controlling party of Wharf, was reducing its holdings of Wharf shares.
In addition, looking at other Jardine Matheson stocks, they are also making a reduction action, which may be an initiative to reduce their holdings at a unified pace to raise funds.
Henry can ignore other stocks in the Jardine family, but Wharf's stocks have always been the object of his attention. Since September last year, it has been a decentralized, covert collection, and today, 16% of the shares have been collected.
However, because of Wharf's stocks, the stock price has been lagging behind the broader market, the turnover rate is relatively poor, and the speed of concealed collection is very slow. Now that the controlling party of Wharf has taken the initiative to reduce its holdings, such a good opportunity cannot be missed.
Henry immediately contacted the Wharf stock collection team and asked them to keep an eye on it, and at the same time to increase some of the collection efforts.
At the same time, Henry contacted Andrew in London to report on the changes in the shares of Wharf and Jardine Matheson.
It's 7 p.m. in London. Andrew is checking the information coming from New York for futures gold. Today's futures gold price trend was relatively flat, closing at $129.4 per ounce, down $0.6 per ounce throughout the day.
Regarding the situation reported by Henry, Andrew speculated that the reduction of Jardine Matheson stocks may be due to the large loss of investing in futures gold, and he is reducing his holdings of stocks to raise supplementary funds. As for whether this is the case, ask Shen Bi, maybe he can know some inside information.
Andrew immediately contacted Shen Bi and figured out the reason for the reduction of Jardine Matheson's shares. For Andrew, this is good news.
On the one hand, it is conducive to the stock collection of Wharf, and at the same time, the decline in the number of Jardine Matheson holdings will be much easier for the competition for the controlling stake of Wharf in the future.
Andrew informed Henry of the information that Shen Bi had inquired about.
With the exact inside information, Henry can safely increase his collection of Wharf shares.
At the same time, it will be much easier to lobby the minority shareholders of Wharf. The reasons are obvious, even the controlling shareholder of Jardine Matheson is not optimistic about the prospects of Wharf, and is taking the initiative to reduce its holdings.
In the afternoon, Henry contacted several major financial newspapers and periodicals in Hong Kong, and revealed the investment success information of the Gold No. 1 Investment Fund after halving the rate of return.
At the same time, Henry also arranged for Mr. Bill, the head of the intelligence team, to ask him to find some unrelated people to reveal the situation on the Jardine side.
Today, I will first disclose the news of Jardine Matheson Investment Futures Gold and large losses. After the news spreads tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will reveal the voluntary reduction of Jardine Matheson stocks.
As a result, many investors who hold Wharf shares will definitely sell their Wharf shares when they get such bad news. At the same time, it will also disrupt Jardine's attention and facilitate the cover of the large collection of Wharf shares.
Peter also communicated with Outlook Magazine and set March 1 as the date for the launch and sale of Outlook Financial Daily.
Then the opening period of the Gold No. 1 Investment Fund has been determined on March 1. The corresponding preparations for the subscription must also be carried out in advance.
The next day, Thursday morning, the front pages of several major financial newspapers and magazines in Hong Kong were full of information on the investment success of the Gold No. 1 Investment Fund. After 10 days of investment and positioning, the result was a 20% profit, coupled with the imagination of each newspaper and periodical, one by one touting the article, jumping on the important pages of the newspaper.
The news of Jardine Matheson Investment Futures Gold's large losses has also spread in various tabloids in Hong Kong.
The two intersected, and all of a sudden, futures gold became a hot topic among Hong Kong citizens today.
Victory Securities, Henry's side, is mostly a congratulatory confirmation call from investors who buy the fund. Henry also happily confirmed what the report said, and congratulated him.
On the other hand, Jardine Matheson was a little anxious about the inquiry calls that came, and it was definitely not possible to make a big loss. This will affect the share prices of all listed companies in the Jardine Matheson family.
It's completely denied, it's unrealistic, the news has already spread, the facts are there, and there is no room for denial. I had no choice but to settle down with the mud and disguise some of the facts.
This is enough, and the negative and gimmicky news content can cause people to broadcast and comment widely. This is the weakness of human nature, the gossip psychology is at work, and there are always people who like this sensationalism in order to brush up on the presence while delivering some unfavorable news. Definition of news: Bad news is news, no negative news.
