Chapter 607: A Fall

With the passage of time, the major media in Xiangjiang carried a lot of reports on Margaret Thatcher's arrival in Beijing, and even the meals that Margaret Thatcher ate in the capital were published in many newspapers.

On September 24, when it was close to noon, some media accompanying Xiangjiang came back with a piece of news, which made many personnel unable to sit still.

Today is Friday, and as soon as the stock market opens in the afternoon, the stocks of major companies have plummeted rapidly, even the Jiayi Group controlled by Lee Kong Yu and the Kowloon Bus Company have not escaped this fate.

Li Guangyu came to Tianyu Investment and Securities Company when he was at work in the afternoon to learn more about how much money had been used in the past 20 days.

The stock market is like a large casino, especially in futures, Li Guangyu was short during this time, and there were also many securities companies that were long, especially in Japan and some financial institutions in Southeast Asia.

On the dispute between Britain and Argentina over the Falklands, it only took a dozen days to force Argentina to surrender, and its prestige was unmatched for a while, as if this once empire on which the sun never set had regained its former glory in this short period of time.

It's a pity that their judgment was wrong, the mainland will never give up the sovereignty of Xiangjiang, no matter who they face, no matter what means, Xiangjiang is bound to be recovered, even if Britain comes with the aftermath of a big victory over Argentina, it is useless.

This time, Margaret Thatcher fell in the capital, which not only broke Britain's confidence, but also broke the hearts of securities companies in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.

This time, it is not only the Lee consortium that is shorting the Hong Kong stock market, but also China Investment Corporation, Ho's Investment Company, Bank of East Asia and Hong Kong Asia Commercial Bank.

This time, the Hong Kong British consortium did not come out to take over on its own, and only the two major banks followed the wishes of customers to take over some short orders.

This time, the heavy orders mainly appeared in Baodao Daiichi Commercial Bank, Singapore's DBS Bank, as well as Citibank of the United States and Japan's Sanwa Bank and Fuji Bank, and some independent securities companies also received a lot of short orders.

After listening to Sun Jianping's report, Li Guangyu also had to sigh how much impact Britain's victory over Argentina had on the improvement of their prestige.

Originally, Li Guangyu estimated that he would not be able to make a big share this time, after all, without the Xiangjiang British Consortium to take over, it would be difficult to make a lot of money like last year.

It's just that this time, many foreign forces and shareholders believe in the strength of Britain, and they believe that the mainland government will succumb to the strong power of Britain, just like Argentina in South America.

As long as Britain can continue to rule Hong Kong, then Hong Kong can continue to maintain its current state, and the stock market will not show a downward trend.

They felt that this time the Li Consortium and these Chinese-funded families in Xiangjiang supported the mainland's recovery of Xiangjiang in their hearts, otherwise they would not have done so at this time, and these Chinese-funded families obviously had illusions about the mainland's strength.

These investment companies have analyzed the current strength of the mainland and Britain, and based on the fact that Britain has solved Argentina's strength on the Falklands in just half a month, Britain has a very big chance of winning this time, and they believe that the mainland will definitely make concessions for the sake of its own economic development.

So even if Li Guangyu became famous in the stock market last year, they don't believe that Li Guangyu can have so good luck this time. This time it was an opportunity for them to weaken the strength of the Chinese family in Xiangjiang.

The development of the Chinese family in Xiangjiang has been too rapid in recent years, coupled with the market of more than one billion people in the back, these families in Xiangjiang must have more advantages over their strength over there, and this time let these families lose a lot, they will be able to drag down their development for many years, weaken the advantages they occupy in the mainland, and provide help for their own forces to enter.

It's a pity that this time these strengths are only afraid of regret in my heart at the moment, the mainland is not Argentina, even if the people in the country are not rich now, but Xiangjiang will never give up, no matter what strength any country faces, Xiangjiang must return, and the leaders of the mainland will not let the country's territory be left out.

This time, Tianyu Investment Company is still last night's 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash five times leverage, a total of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars of short orders, and the remaining 4 billion Hong Kong dollars are used to make up for the position, Li Guangyu is quite conservative in this regard, unless the stock suddenly doubles, he will be liquidated, he has enough cash to cover the position.

What Li Guangyu didn't expect was that the biggest short order on his side this time was actually Singapore DBS Bank (Development Bank of Singapore), which is a state-owned bank in Singapore, and this one alone ate his own short order of 12 billion Hong Kong dollars, more than 1/5 of all Li Guangyu's empty orders.

Mr. Lee wondered if it was their own investment or whether some families in Singapore were going long on the Hong Kong stock market through DBS.

In second place is Citibank, a bank that has existed in Xiangjiang for nearly 100 years and has always been the largest financial institution in the United States.

As the royal bank of the Rockefeller family and the flagship of the First Citibank consortium, they also received 10 billion Hong Kong dollars in empty orders this time, which is really nothing for this consortium.

As one of the eastern consortiums, the Citi consortium has been very active in recent years, and Li Guangyu's ally, the California consortium, is the leader in the competition with the eastern consortium.

In third place is Standard Chartered Bank, a London-based bank, which has not only some British forces, but even some Western European forces have entered the Hong Kong stock market through them.

The UK's big win over Argentina gave them great confidence, they believed that the Hong Kong issue was very easy for the UK and would not have much impact on the Hong Kong, and they also took over the 9.5 billion Hong Kong dollars empty order of the Li consortium this time.

Later, Sanhe Bank also took over the 7 billion Hong Kong dollars of the Li consortium's short orders, as for the first commercial bank of Baodao, it took over the 2 billion Hong Kong dollars of the Li consortium, and the remaining 9.5 billion short orders, HSBC ate 5 billion short orders, and their main sources of funds are mainly some local families in Southeast Asia, and the short orders of other funds were eaten by some securities investment companies in Xiangjiang.

At the same time, on the side of Heung Kong China Investment Company, several shareholders also raised 2 billion Hong Kong dollars according to their shares, and the leverage is the same as that used by the Li consortium, and they have already established a securities department internally.

On the side of He's Investment Company, Li Guangyu, Luo Cheng and He's several companies also raised 1 billion Hong Kong dollars according to their shares, and Stanley Ho invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars alone, so that Ho's Investment Company could operate the stock market together, and he also chose five times leverage.

Li Guangyu knew from this order that there must be forces that want to wipe out all of their own systems, and this time the empty orders of these two major investment companies were swept away.

As long as Li Guangyu misjudged this time, not only the Li consortium will suffer heavy losses this time, but also his allies. And more importantly, if there is a problem this time, it is estimated that the forces will not pounce on the Li consortium and allies to teach a lesson, such as Carrefour and Wal-Mart.

These two major supermarkets are difficult to move in Asia, and they can't enter the Asian market at all, and as soon as they enter, they are squeezed out by Hengyu Supermarket Group by various means.
