Chapter 833 ATM or Meat Grinder
The Presidential Suite on the top floor of the Mandarin Hotel, the Lion City. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the double-layer circular workbench in the center of the living room, more than 40 traders are rapidly tapping on the keyboard, issuing instructions for buying, selling, or opening through the Internet, and finally all converge to Xiangjiang.
With so many computer consoles and CRT monitors, the air conditioning in the suite is still a little hot, even if it is turned to the lowest.
Ms. Bona, who is the supervisor of the international hedge fund trading team, glanced at the wall clock and saw that the time had passed eleven o'clock, but the Hang Seng Index and the futures index were still fluctuating slightly around 7800 as if the system had failed, which made her more and more upset and irritable, and roared at the traders. "Hurry up! Hurry up!
"No way! No matter how much you sell, there will always be funds rushing in and swept away, and the speed of my selling has increased by 20% compared to usual, but I still can't fight......"
"Oh hell, Hutchison Whampoa has been polished by me, but the price has risen by two cents......"
"Oh my God! Oh my God! Wharf has a ...... of up to 20 million Hong Kong dollars"
The repeated complaints made Ms. Bona have to accept the reality that under the sudden amplification of Hong Kong stocks yesterday, the strength of this morning's undertaking is no longer something that the team led by her can handle.
"Keep selling! Throw them all! Throw as many as you want! You must smash the index down by 100 points before the break! Otherwise, everyone's income will be discounted!"
Ms. Boehner's tough rhetoric caused all the traders present to complain, but she ignored it herself, went up to the second floor, knocked on the door of the study, and reported to the boss who was sitting inside, smoking a cigar. No matter how much is sold, there will be orders pouring out to empty the chips and push the stock price up, and the positions of the constituent stocks have been reduced by 30%, but the index is still maintained around 7800 points, which can neither push up nor smash ...... low."
Holding the cigar in his mouth, George smiled. "Don't panic, don't panic, you have to be calm! Calm down! You know? You're also a trader, don't you know that the more you have to be calm when the situation is bad?"
Seeing that he still looked like he was in control, Ms. Bona was a little anxious. "Yesterday there invested 20 billion in the market, and today the transaction has exceeded 25 billion, if we maintain such a large trading volume, we will definitely not be able to smash the index low if we throw all the chips in our hands!"
George laughed. "The foreign exchange market has been stabilized by them, and the Hang Seng Index and the Futures Index have also been manipulated by them, but the operation of the market is not effective through interference, and their willingness to support the market is simply a godsend! Go on! Keep throwing, the tens of billions of chips managed by the team will not be able to be sold all today?"
Ms. Boehner was a little confused. "What? polishing? not at all?"
George deliberately put on a look of surprise. "Why do you want to stay? Do you want to become the chairman of the board of directors of a certain listed company? What we want is profit! It's profit! It's already a shame to become a shareholder by speculating in stocks, and if you become the chairman of the board of directors of a listed company again, won't it make your peers laugh to death?"
Ms. Bona pondered for a moment, and her eyes lit up in vain. "Do you mean...... Could it be that the main battlefield is not the stock market but the futures market?"
"Nonsense! Hundreds of billions of chips have reduced the efficiency of our capital use, if it weren't for the stupid method of using the market, how could we sell the chips we held according to the previous trading volume?"
Finally understanding the precedence, Ms. Bona couldn't help but exclaim excitedly. "Oh my God!
Seeing that she finally understood the ingenuity, George put the cigar back into his mouth and said with a smug face. "These chips smashed from 16,000 have already made us lose hundreds of millions of dollars, and we finally have the opportunity to empty it in one day, we must seize it!"
"Got it, then I'll ask them to speed up the sell-off and try to create the effect that our chips are almost infinite......"
When Ms. Bona walked out and closed the door, the smile on George's face suddenly twisted, and he grabbed the phone on the table with a calm face and pressed the replay button, and soon there was an angry roar on the other end of the phone.
"George! September's contract is more than 600 points higher than this month's, and every time you turn a warehouse receipt, you will lose 30,000 Hong Kong dollars! You know what this means? This means that we need to push the market up by 1,000 points to make a profit......
Facing the trend of the futures index on the computer screen, George's face was also ugly. "Jim, don't complain, the key issue is not the price to be paid for rolling positions, haven't you noticed that the premium of the September contract is not only very high, but also unusually firm against the opponents?"
Jim was stunned for a moment, and his face changed after careful consideration. "Isn't it? Could it be that someone has been encircling our plan since last week?"
"You are responsible for the operation of the futures market, and I am sure that all the tens of billions of chips will be cleared today, but if there is a problem in the futures market, not only will our profits be damaged, but our reputation will also suffer irreparable damage! This is a ...... that is even more difficult to operate than profits."
Hearing this, Jim was silent for a moment before whispering. "George! The problem is that the transfer of positions has caused a loss of nearly three billion, if it continues to develop at this rate, this attack will not only be difficult to make a profit, but also very easy to spit out the profits earned before, if the ATM becomes a meat grinder, our life will not be easy!"
"Jim! Maintain confidence in our professional ability! When we were doing the market, we didn't even understand what the stock market, what futures were and what financial derivatives were, could those international students who worked as orderkeepers, statisticians, and handymen on Wall Street win against us? You look up to them too much......
"Okay, then continue to implement the original plan, but you have to be mentally prepared for losses, the current situation is not that we can withdraw with the money if all the stocks are cleared......"
Too lazy to continue to talk about such a problem, George hung up the phone and walked out of the study, he stood on the second floor and looked at the busy scene in the living room, and couldn't help but smile when he saw that the trading team was selling quickly, thinking that maybe someone over there really understood where the real battlefield of this attack was, but how easy it was to win?
At the same time, Cheng Zhihan, who was the commander-in-chief of the defense operation, did not stay in the office, but sat in the trading hall of the Central Command, staring at Tang Yan who was operating with a cup of cold coffee, and his eyes fell to the ground in shock.
The small and chic MP3 was hung on Tang Yan's waist, she was listening to Tchaikovsky's "Swan Lake" with headphones on, shaking her head comfortably, shaking her head, and even tapping the beat on the floor with her heels, while her hands were crackling on the keyboard, and the crisp keyboard tapping sound was like a series of beautiful notes, which made many traders who admired her beauty and marveled at her graceful figure turn their eyes from time to time, and then start to be busy again.
The supervisor standing beside Cheng Zhihan was actually speechless about this girl's ability, and when he heard Cheng Zhihan lower his voice and ask what he found, he glanced at the time and opened the record book. "The speed of typing on the keyboard can reach up to 1,020 per minute, and she hasn't made any mistakes in the hour and 47 minutes since the opening of the market, and her eyes were off the screen for the eighteen seconds she was drinking coffee, but during this time she still placed three buy orders without the slightest mistake......"
Cheng Zhihan turned his face. "So that means she shouldn't have slipped her hands?"
The supervisor said with a blank face. "Whoever says that she will also make such a low-level mistake as hand slipping, then all the traders here will come and ...... desperately"
Standing up with a lap on his thigh, Cheng Zhihan cursed as he walked to his office. "Bastard! bastard! what a bastard......"
knew what Cheng Zhihan was referring to, so the supervisor who stayed behind Tang Yan all morning with him couldn't help but glance at the account managed by Tang Yan, and saw that the account surplus had reached 800 million Hong Kong dollars.
Slander is slander, but the supervisor does not really blame the traders who are busy placing orders, but instead holds the coffee pot and pours coffee for the traders who are busy placing orders and even trotting all the way to the toilet.
Unlike these traders who are busy in Central, Fu Zhengyi took Ran Ying and followed the real estate agent to Pak Jia Road in Taiping Shan early in the morning, listening to the real estate agent introduce the situation here and understand the land price here.
Through the introduction of real estate agents, Fu Zhengyi realized that the land here was extremely limited, so even though the financial market has suffered turmoil for nearly a year and the property prices in the urban area have fallen by almost 30%, the prices here are still strong.
Although today's guest is very young, he is in charge of the real estate economy of Mid-Levels Real Estate but also has a ruthless vision, even if he does not see the guest's intention, he still said very sincerely at the end. "Sir, luxury homes and affordable properties belong to two types of markets, the Hong Kong government's continuous interest rate hikes have led to many property buyers and property speculators suffering heavy losses, but the Mid-Levels are far from being impacted, so if you are interested, then please make a ...... as soon as possible" (to be continued.) )
