Chapter 350: Into the Background
At night, the Huangang Hospital is extraordinarily quiet, and it seems that the Asian financial turmoil and the hustle and bustle of Hong Kong's capital market have no impact on this side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”
Ye Qian carried the thermos bottle containing ginseng chicken soup, knocked on the door of Zheng Fan's ward, and walked in gently.
"How long did you sleep here?"
Seeing Zheng Fan calling the pig's head on the hospital bed, Ye Qian's face couldn't help twitching slightly.
When she contacted Dean Yao Ling during the day, she said that Zheng Fan was sleeping.
Now it's night, Zheng Fan hasn't gotten up yet, which makes Ye Qian, who has worked all day, secretly sigh and at the same time, he is afraid that he will feel unwell.
"You're here."
Zheng Fan, who almost covered half of his face with the quilt, whispered to Ye Qian without opening his eyes.
"Does the boss know it's me?"
Ye Qian put the ginseng chicken soup on the bedside table on the side, and when she heard Zheng Fan speak, she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.
"The faint fresh body fragrance on your body smells very good, how can you not recognize it." Zheng Fan whispered lazily, as if he hadn't woken up yet.
"I heard Yao Ling say that Qin Yan and the others came over to disturb the boss again in the morning." Ye Qianmei smiled, and seemed to be very useful to Zheng Fan's praise.
"It's not a bother, I can develop so quickly, Qin Yan and Zhang Yan have made a lot of efforts in China, just take the attack on the rich house this time, if it weren't for their help, I don't know how many branches would have to be born, in the end, I still owe them." Zheng Fan opened his eyes and said.
"If the boss didn't say it, I thought you wouldn't take them seriously, if that's the case, why didn't the boss help them?" Ye Qian was a little surprised, Zheng Fan could still see so thoroughly to this day.
"It's not that I don't help, it's that the situation is out of control and I can't help!" Zheng Fan sighed slowly, and sat up from the hospital bed with Ye Qian's support.
"The Hong Kong stock market has only been down for a day, why is it said to be out of control?" As the main force of shorting HSI futures, Ye Qian is a little unclear.
"Although the volume of the Hong Kong stock market is large, it is also limited, and when it falls to a certain extent, in terms of our amount of funds, it is natural to help the stock market to guarantee the bottom, but the impact of the financial turmoil on the capital market is an all-round collision, and in the storm, do you think that the more than 800 billion US dollars of liquidity of our Century Holdings can gain a foothold?" Zheng Fan took a sip of water, revealing a look of unoptimism.
"Does the boss mean real estate and Hong Kong dollars?"
Ye Qian sat on the edge of Zheng Fan's hospital bed and asked guessingly.
"At that time, a large number of enterprises will be liquidated, and many middle-income groups will go bankrupt, and I even doubt that under the impact of the financial turmoil, the linked exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar will be broken, and once the Hong Kong dollar depreciates sharply, not only the entire Hong Kong Island, but also the mainland economy will be greatly implicated." Zheng Fan said something that surprised Ye Qian.
"Although the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's foreign exchange reserves are not much, they are in circulation, relying on the heritage of the entire Hong Kong economy, and with the mainland's foreign exchange reserves as support, it is too pessimistic now, is it a little early? I think that once the short-selling situation intensifies, the Hong Kong government and the mainland will definitely fight back with all their might. Ye Qian didn't have any sense of crisis.
"Even if it is to protect the disk, you have to be able to protect it, look at it, next in the Hong Kong capital market, there may be a big war, the reason why I say that the linked exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar is in danger, is because the financial turmoil has caused more damage to the Japanese economy than expected, and Century Holdings has taken huge profits from the international gold market." Zheng Fan seems to be just guessing, not very sure.
"If the situation of the Asian financial crisis really exceeds expectations, how will we deal with it?" Ye Qian opened the thermos flask and asked.
"Observation, I will only choose to save the stock market, as for the linked exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, it depends on the situation." Zheng Fan smiled calmly.
"The route back to the United States has been arranged, and the departure will start this Friday, and the boss will have three or four days to rest." Ye Qian has no sense of urgency about the crisis in Hong Kong's capital market.
"When I left in the afternoon, I had already told Luo Hong to buy Lockheed Martin shares when the U.S. stock market opened in the evening." Ye Qian poured a small bowl of ginseng chicken soup and said.
"Originally, this matter should have been carried out last time when the acquisition of the shares of major investment banks was concentrated, but due to the limited acquisition funds, it has been delayed, not only this arms company, but also the acquisition of medical groups, as well as biological and biochemical engineering companies, must also be carried out as soon as possible, once the decision to step out again, we must not be afraid to wink." Zheng Fan has the meaning of anticipation.
"President Ji'er has been preparing in advance, and I believe that under the condition that the amount of funds can support, the re-expansion of Century Holdings should not be a problem." Since Ye Qian knew that Zheng Fan had secretly transferred the huge gold reserves, she was very down-to-earth.
Because no matter what happens to Century Holdings in the future, Zheng Fan's large number of hidden assets are an extremely powerful guarantee.
"How are European and American stock markets going during this time?"
Zheng Fan thoughtfully drank the ginseng chicken soup and asked vaguely.
"Just like the Hong Kong stock market before, it is on a sharp upward spiral, as if the Asian financial crisis can benefit the European and American capital markets." Ye Qian responded with a sigh.
"We hold stocks in major investment banks, how much profit do we have?" The focus of Zheng Fan's attention made Ye Qian a little surprised and suspicious.
"It is about to reach 50% of the total investment, especially in the past month, the stocks of major international investment banks we hold have almost soared." Ye Qian roughly calculated in her mind and responded.
"Now that the private asset management business of Tatfook Bank has done well, let's sell the equity of major investment banks to the market." Zheng Fan made a decision calmly.
"What is the boss afraid of? Worried that the size of the assets controlled by Century Holdings is too large, which will cause difficulties in making a U-turn and reduce the risk of room for maneuver? Ye Qian asked suspiciously.
"It's just one of them, I'm worried that the Asian financial turmoil is out of control, it will spread to Europe and the United States, and the stock prices of major investment banks have risen too much, and they have lost some expectations for the future. Zheng Fan pondered and explained.
"I'll arrange it tomorrow."
Ye Qian didn't even think that the financial turmoil surging in Asia would have serious consequences for the global economy.
"The branches of Tatfook Bank should be left in New York and London, and the deposit and loan business should not only be controlled, but also the outlets should be reduced." Zheng Fan calmly explained.
"Cutting off the redundant branches is easy to manage, but after the previous development, President Ji'er has expanded a lot of outlets for Dafu Bank......" Ye Qian was a little worried that Zheng Fan's decision would be opposed by Ji'er.
"At this time, as a privatized bank, Dafu Bank does not need to seek listing, there is no need to spread the stall so big, in this regard, I have reached a consensus with Ji'er before, and now after tasting the sweetness of the private asset management business, I believe that she will focus on the business of helping enterprises restructure assets in the future." Zheng Fan smiled and comforted.
"At present, the Asian financial crisis is in turmoil, and everyone else is busy competing for cheap assets, and it is estimated that only Daifuku Bank will shrink its business." Ye Qian was not sure whether the series of decisions made by Zheng Fan this time were the most advantageous choices.
"Take it easy, and after this financial storm subsides, Century Holdings will be handed over to you to manage." Zheng Fan got up and patted Ye Qian's fragrant shoulder.
"What about the boss? In fact, rather than managing Century Holdings, I would like to follow the boss. "Ye Qian is not too concerned about power and money.
"Of course, I am an idler, once there is nothing to do, I don't need you to follow, the reason why I handed over Century Holdings to you is because I trust you very much, and the other is that I have not fully achieved my goal through the capital market." Zheng Fan said with a little tiredness.
"Boss, is that the focus of biological and biochemical research, as well as nuclear energy?" Following Zheng Fan every day, Ye Qian couldn't help but have some guesses about his expectations.
"In the past, I had to accumulate capital, and I had to need a bank, but now the situation has changed, and the focus has to be adjusted, to give a very simple example, if you have so much wealth from me, do you want to buy more assets, to the point where you can't manage it, or do you want to go the way you want to go?" Although Zheng Fan's words were simple, they made Ye Qian understand.
"In fact, even if the boss completely withdraws from the capital market, I have no objection, but why should I get involved in the military, biological, biochemical, and even nuclear power companies? It's easy to think of these industries as dangerous people. Because there was no one else, Ye Qian finally said what was in her heart.
"I just want to meet my own needs, you don't need to worry too much, in fact, Century Holdings no longer holds the equity of major investment banks, it is equivalent to going from the front to the backstage, except for a few people with a heart, the vast majority of people will not care about such as medical groups and nuclear power assets, at least for a long time in the future, the industry I am interested in, it is difficult to become the mainstream." Zheng Fan's idea seemed to be extremely correct.
"In my opinion, the most important thing to shrink is nuclear power assets, and now the U.S. state investment is going to be invested in the Sunshine Nuclear Power Group, although we don't have to worry too much in the future, but we will also be subject to a lot of checks and balances. Ye Qian smiled and chatted.
"Even in terms of equity, we can't compare with the U.S. state investment, but through personnel management, it may not be impossible to have the final say, taking a step back, even if there are checks and balances, but the people of the nuclear power group are alive, and people have weaknesses." Zheng Fan smiled a little meaningfully.
"Does the boss mean that through corruption and other means, we will subtly increase the voice of our Century Holdings in the Sunshine Nuclear Power Group?" Ye Qian's expression lit up.
"What you think of is just one aspect, not only corrupting the US state investment, including the talents of the nuclear power group, we can poach them, but we just start from scratch and not engage in nuclear power, what we want to do is nuclear energy research." Zheng Fan smiled deeply.
