Chapter 14 Layout of the Hong Kong River

George wasn't sure how much the Nikkei had been affected by the crisis, but at least the trillions of yen losses should be fine, if nothing else, because Sumitomo Bank, a bank that was almost broken by the manipulation of copper futures in the London copper market, has been revitalized in the Internet crisis.

At that time, the domestic newspapers just kicked a little in the corner, and later, when the Internet was full of news, George once found an article in it that I didn't know which person wrote it when he visited a forum, so he read it because he was curious.

Sumitomo Bank, which found that its strength had plummeted due to losses in the futures copper market, actually invested heavily in gold after the Internet crisis.

Even because of the relationship between the consortium, a large number of funds can be mobilized into this market, but such a huge amount of money is used to spend money to enter this market that does not fluctuate much in the short term when the price of gold is not obvious, why is this?

If you want to increase your gold reserves, but with such a large amount of money, will your subsidiaries and affiliates not be affected at all?

This is obviously impossible, and it is impossible for the company to grow without sufficient funds, but several large companies associated with Sumitomo have not been affected.

On the contrary, after the Internet crisis, the somewhat weak RB economy ushered in a small growth, and the banking industry, which had been tightening monetary policy, suddenly relaxed loan restrictions and increased the pace of overseas investment.

George didn't care about this, if he hadn't suddenly seen Nikkei's position in the statement today, he might have forgotten about it completely.

Now that he remembered it, he didn't want to give up this opportunity, knowing that RB is the second largest economy in the world, and this economy still has tremendous energy after several deep and slight leek cuts by the United States.

Because of the fusion of memories, George, who didn't know how to short and long, or even futures, but only heard about it, hid his face in a pile of information and numbers after returning to the office.

It is impossible for George to say that he is not hostile to the second largest economy because of his original soul, but he hides this very well, as a speculator to show a desire for money that is about to arrive rather than hostility, and he also has a great interest in this cash machine, which still bursts with great vitality after cutting leeks.

Especially some of his future layouts involve RB, so he must understand it in advance, so that he will not be blind in the future, after all, there are only some small yellow pieces left in the memory of his previous life, including Matsushima Kaede, Mizusaki Rolla and so on.

There are many things that cannot be avoided to do business in this country, such as families, conglomerates, and even political forces.

Of course, due to the special identity of George, I believe that it can be avoided in many places, but if you want to take root and grow bigger, you must have a certain amount of contact and hypocrisy with the major forces, so let's say hello now. (In its view, cutting a stubble on top of the Nikkei is also a friendly greeting.) )

"James, Nikkei is all dumped and then a $100 million one-month short contract is built as quickly as possible. ”

After learning about the Internet development of major companies and RB, George walked out of the office at one o'clock in the afternoon and said to James, who was already smiling and smoking a cigarette, staring at the Nikkei index as if he was looking at a beautiful woman.

"Okay, George, I'll do as you tell me to do. ”

Hearing George's command, James quickly turned around and glanced at George, then walked to the trader's side to operate.

"Carlos, how's the Hang Seng contract selling?"

Seeing James meticulously going to work, George walked up to Carlos's side and asked after looking at the still declining Hang Seng Index above.

"It's almost, about 10,000 hands left, but George, I think we're letting it go a little bit early, and we've lost a lot of the benefits that are within reach. ””

Hearing George's inquiry, Carlos replied without looking up, still staring at the plate.

"Carlos, Xiangjiang is not our America, his Internet content is very low, you look at what the so-called Internet companies in Xiangjiang are made of, and more importantly, the market here is very narrow, they can't get greater development, unless it is to the north.

But the people of Xiangjiang are in the north, do you think they can succeed?

They don't know the north at all, and the arrogance in their bones makes them still act according to Xiangjiang in the north, this method doesn't work at all, and in the end they still end in failure.

Real estate, finance, and tourism are fundamental here, and they missed the time point for developing high-tech and have now been unable to keep up with the pace.

This is the place that has suffered the least in this dot-com bubble, and what you see now is only superficial, and it is only affected by the Wall Street turmoil.

A city is different from a country, especially a city with a small territory, and we must see this.

Even if I miscalculate, we are just one less step to gain, don't forget that we have earned enough, to be content, only in this way is the long-term way, if every time to maximize the benefits, such a mind is not something we can have.

A rational view of the market is what we should do, after all, in Xiangjiang, the smallest place with the Internet, there will soon be some good news to boost the market, and it will recover soon, right?"

Hearing Carlos's inquiry, George, who didn't want to answer, thought about it and told Carlos part of what he thought, after all, Carlos will take on heavy responsibilities in his future career, such a person is not comparable to those ordinary traders next to him, money is only a part, and the development and leadership vision of a company is what they value.

"Well, George, you're right. ”

Although he was talking, his subordinates were not slow, and they directly listed the Hang Seng Index with a thousand hands and a thousand hands, and it was digested by those predators and speculators after a while.

30 million US dollars in exchange for 1.9 billion Hong Kong dollars, George is still very satisfied with this figure, after all, he has a short time to build a contract, and he has grabbed relatively few short positions, plus Hang Seng is only affected by the stock market such as the NASDAQ due to its own reasons, and its own decline is not very large, and there is nothing unsatisfactory to earn six times the profit.

"Are these funds still going to Swiss banks?"

After all the short positions were sold, Carlos called out to James and entered George's office as George's instructed.

"No, we want to stay in Xiangjiang and invest in the real estate market and stock market in Xiangjiang. ”

"George, are you so optimistic about the economy of Xiangjiang? After all, there was no Xiangjiang in your plan at the beginning,"

After listening to George's words, James couldn't help but ask, after all, although George didn't have a clear investment plan before and last night, the general direction was determined, why he was suddenly optimistic about Xiangjiang investing here, which made him very puzzled.

"James, I've done a lot of research on Xiangjiang during this time, and it's not for nothing that Xiangjiang has developed from a small fishing village to an international city comparable to Paris now.

Although the shipping market is shrinking somewhat, Heung Kong seized the opportunity to develop finance and real estate with the help of the British system.

In Xiangjiang, the most profitable thing is real estate, followed by the stock market.

This is a market in short supply, with little land and many people, and because of the financial turmoil of '97, it is still at a low point, so it is a good time for us to make a dip.

As for the stock market, backed by China, do you think it would be bad if there are so many Chinese companies listed in Xiangjiang, and there are countless funds flowing through Xiangjiang?

This and Huaxia are our future, I am just making an investment in advance, lest we want to come to share the feast here, suppressed by the existing interest groups, although we will encounter some trouble now, but compared to the future north and Xiangjiang closer ties to form more interest groups, especially after the group formed by those who entered Xiangjiang in the early stage and reached an agreement with the local group to coexist peacefully, then we need to pay a much greater price. ”
