Chapter 434: You have made meritorious contributions to the Federation
(Today's 3rd more than 5 o'clock in the morning sent a mistake.,It's been corrected back.,Book friends who saw the wrong chapter before 6:30 can go back and reload it.。 )
At the same time that Gu Biao was whitewashing in Watsangton, in the capital market of Xiangjiang, a siege was kicking off.
The problem of pests and diseases in New Zealand is fermenting day by day, and although local officials are desperately blocking the news, more and more inside stories are still being revealed.
Even if it is not known to the majority of the public for the time being, and the mass media is not allowed to report it, there is always gossip from investor channels that can be disseminated in a timely manner.
Capital is always the most sensitive.
"Recently, 17 previously unprecedented, pests and diseases have been detected/detected in New Zealand, including new species of insects and crop disease strains and viruses from the outside world. The level of species isolation in the region is expected to fall to the same level as that of neighbouring Australia, thousands of kilometres away. ”
"Because of the summer climate in the southern hemisphere, the possibility of early strangulation and extinction of these pests and diseases is very small, and it is expected that at least 15 species of insects, bacteria and viruses will reproduce smoothly.
Most species have spread from the South Island to the North Island by the time they were discovered. In the long term, it is expected that the valuation of New Zealand's livestock property will fall to the same level as Australia, and the additional value-added factors such as 'organic/pest-free/pesticide-free' will be lost.
Earlier this year, due to the massive hoarding of land speculation by international tourists, New Zealand's livestock assets this year, which had appreciated by more than 25% compared with the average price in the first half of the year, have now plummeted by 40% to 75% of the average price in the first half of the year. International speculators are suspected of suffering heavy losses. ”
……
When the above news reached Xiangjiang, most people did not react on the surface.
Including Sir Shao, the charter boat king, and other Xiangjiang patriotic capitals other than the Huo family, they are all silent.
However, the shock in their hearts is beyond measure.
How did the Argentines make such a fuss and make a mess of the New Zealanders?
As for Kong Shangzhong, who has a background in the British Taikoo department, he is like a mourner behind closed doors.
At first, he tried on several occasions to privately encourage investor confidence, deceiving everyone that the problem was still manageable.
However, several small media outlets are very faceless and spread bad news on the island, and almost no one among speculators is fooled anymore - unless it is a vegetable aunt-level shareholder who is really ill-informed, it is possible to be tricked.
"Get rid of those unscrupulous tabloids that talk nonsense for me!" Kong Shangzhong, who was angry, began to jump over the wall in a hurry, using the forces behind him to ruthlessly attack the uncooperative media.
If you are engaged in the media, there will always be some places where you are not rigorous in your speech, and you can find faults. It's just that since the negotiations began, the Bretanians originally wanted to flaunt that they had let go of their words, but now that they are doing so, the Hong Kong citizens can clearly see the true face of the thieves.
"Lu Renjia! Your newspaper is suspected of spreading rumors and disrupting the financial order!
"Xiao Juese! The "Xiangjiang Morning Post" is suspected of slandering and slandering the goodwill of the victim concerned!
Several media people were taken away by Kong Shangzhong's black hands with their waists.
But this is only a temporary pre-dawn suffering, and these mysterious people will soon turn it over.
didn't last until the end of November, and Kong Shangzhong was abandoned by his teammates.
……
One day in late November, half a month after the news broke in New Zealand.
A mansion at No. 30 Baijia Road on the top of Xiangjiang Mountain, that is, in the Confucian Mansion, ushered in an uninvited guest.
Kong Shangzhong personally greeted the door of the garden wall: "Lord Vickers, why don't ......you inform me of your arrival?"
When he was polite, Kong Shangzhong had already had an ominous premonition in his heart.
This Lord Vickers is a senior executive of the HSBC Group and one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of HSBC Bank. In the middle of the year, Kong Shangzhong wanted to make a bureau and needed tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars of financing from HSBC, which was handled by Lord Vickers.
Lord Vickers went straight into the room with an expressionless face, sat down on the sofa, and then got straight to the point: "Kong, given the assets you have in New Zealand, it is difficult to wait for the market value to recover before recovering. So, in order to stop the loss, the board decides to stop your collateral financing unless you add more collateral. ”
Kong Shangzhong's own money, and even the money that he could mortgage his shares in Swire, was not enough to personally manage such a large project, so of course he wanted several times the leverage "mortgage".
However, when the price of related industries in New Zealand is 25% lower than the purchase price in the first half of the year, Kong Shangzhong's personal collateral assets are obviously unable to hold this gap.
You must know that because of his pre-speculation, in September and October, the real estate price in New Zealand was 25% higher than that in the middle of the year, that is to say, when Kong Shangzhong was absorbing chips, he did not absorb according to the original price in the first half of the year, but at an average premium of more than 10% over the first half of the year.
Originally, he wanted to hold it in his hands and wait for Heung Kong Capital to flee in panic to take over, but it fell to one-third lower than the average price of his chips.
Therefore, as long as the borrowing leverage reaches twice the principal, the position will be liquidated.
Kong Shangzhong shouted and slammed into the sky: "Lord Vickers, you can't see death without help, you should know, this is a sudden black swan event, maybe there are still some international conspiracy forces that are cheating the British Empire!"
Lord Vickers was expressionless: "Kong, we are all professional people, in business, you should know the principles of HSBC, I don't care if you are a black swan or not, as for you saying that it is the Americans who are framing New Zealand, I don't believe it." We only believe in money and do business.
We are providing you with borrowing financing, not investing in partnership with you, and you should know that if you make a lot of money, you will not give us any additional shares, only interest on us, right? I'm here to inform you, and I'm already very respectful of you. ”
Originally, in the event of such an emergency, the bank could have forced the liquidation and auctioned off the collateral without saying a word.
Kong Shangzhong sneered sadly, and had a tendency to go into a delirium: "You can't do this to me! You know that I have even mortgaged this manor! And my inventory of movable property, what else can I mortgage? I have made meritorious contributions to the Federation, I have shed blood for the Queen, you can't do this! I want to see the Governor, I want to appeal to the Governor!"
Lord Vickers: "You're at your own convenience, I'm just here to inform you." ”
Three days later, HSBC's auction for the disposal of collateral was hastily held in Xiangjiang.
There is no way, this kind of thing, the longer it drags on, the more the subject matter in your hand will depreciate, maybe it will not be completely repaid, and bad debts will be left.
As for the ranches and other assets that Kong Shangzhong had not sold in New Zealand before, most of them were not even auctioned on the Xiangjiang side, and they were forcibly disposed of directly in New Zealand, slightly lower than the market price, and let the locals bid for them.
Xiangjiang people are not interested in going to New Zealand to raise non-organic dairy cows, they are for investment and value-added, not for production.
……
When the news from Xiangjiang reached the ears of Gu Biao, who was in Watsonton, he had only been in good contact with William Clarke's adviser for two days.
It was Han Ting who called to inform Gu Biao.
After clearing the suspicions, making enough heavyweight friends, and forming common interests to prevent future troubles, Gu Biao heard the good news, of course, he had to travel lightly, and he was happy to mention the equipment that broke out to fight monsters.
"Thank you, I'll fly to Xiangjiang tomorrow and go back to the United States as soon as I finish the auction. You can help me get ready first. Gu Biao commanded in a high-spirited manner.
Han Ting: "Don't you have to keep a low profile? Aren't you afraid that people will think that you framed Kong Shangzhong? Besides, the auction has nothing to do with you, this is the place to spend money, and what you need now is to make money." ”
Gu Biao: "What are you afraid of, I have a business competition with Kong Shangzhong, and if he hangs up, if I don't go over and fall into the well, others will think I'm terrible." Young people just want to be vigorous, and if they are not vigorous, are they still called young people?
As for the money, you don't have to worry. The handicap I cooperated with Huo Shao has skyrocketed this month, and since the accident in New Zealand, the crowds on both sides have immediately stood in line. Home prices in Vancouver skyrocketed by 20% in November compared to the beginning of October.
At present, we have sold out 10,000 high-end residences, with more than 60 percent of the shipments, and the remaining tail plates, before the end of next year, can basically be cleaned, and at most less than 5 percent of the chicken ribs are left. ”
Han Ting listened to it on the phone and was secretly frightened.
It was the first time she knew the specific scale of Gu Biao's plate.
Today's housing prices in Vancouver, even for apartments, cost $50,000 per unit for the smallest and worst units. The villa has risen to 150,000.
This price is not expensive compared with Xiangjiang, where every inch of land is expensive, but for Canada, which is vast and sparsely populated, the increase is already very amazing. It is almost equivalent to a miracle created in an ordinary port market with no fist industry, relying on favorable policies and markets out of thin air.
10,000 households have been sold out, so there must be about $1 billion in principal to come in.
In good conscience, this money is several times more than the money that Gu Biao has worked hard to get from business.
It's also a shame that Gu Biao is not very interested in money, and the purpose of doing things is not just for money, so he didn't give up his life pursuit and become degenerate.
Han Ting asked herself, if she had so much money and what else she would do, at least she would not have a sense of accomplishment in her current career.
"Then I'll wait for you. Han Ting no longer doubted, and after finalizing it, she hung up the phone.
Gu Biao this time, but he is really going to stage a drama of returning to his hometown.
All the Xiangjiang capital bigwigs will know the market rules here, and after all, they will be decided by that despicable stranger.
No matter whether your British-funded HSBC or Taikoo, you can't stop Gu Wei's poisonous scheme.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Biao drove to the school very sincerely and asked Professor Kissinger for leave in person, instead of choosing to call.
Gu Biao: "Professor, give me two days off, and I'll go back to Xiangjiang." ”
Kissinger was angry and funny: "How much time have you spent seriously studying this semester? You just came back from a long vacation two months ago! You will graduate in two months!"
Gu Biao: "So, this time I only need two days, plus a weekend, it's enough." ”
"Go, go!"
——
Fourth, therefore, there are still 10 more arrears.
I was going to do three more today and tomorrow.,It turned out to be more than 5 o'clock in the morning when I sent the wrong chapter.,After changing it, I'm afraid that people who get up early to read the book won't see it.,I had to add another chapter.,This chapter is just finished.。
Therefore, there will be no third watch tomorrow, and the second watch will be resumed.
Anyway, the arrears of October will definitely be paid off in March.
