Chapter 387: A Long Winter
In December, major Asian countries have already felt the chill of the financial turmoil. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Because Century Holdings stopped the war on the Stock Exchange and did not take practical action, although it forced a large short-selling wave to leave Hong Kong, the aftermath was frequent.
After discovering that the funds of Century Holdings had been deposited in the Hong Kong Central Clearing and Settlement Center, there was no follow-up action, and some international speculators even began to make a comeback and once again make a tentative impact on the Hong Kong financial market.
The atmosphere of panic is spreading in Asia, and Western analysts and investors are clapping their hands.
The self-operated department of Century Holdings seems to be quite deserted, as if it has also been affected by the cold winter.
"It's Black Monday again, is the market already getting used to it?" Ye Qian, who was standing in the self-management department, said anxiously.
"The market has a memory function, and coupled with the relationship of human manipulation, it will amplify psychological panic." The thick-lipped woman responded as she ate a banana, a little unrefreshed.
"Affected by the Asian financial turmoil, the U.S. stock market fell sharply yesterday, and it is no wonder that Hong Kong will be under pressure, and this winter will be very long." Liu Mingxuan looked at the light rain in Hong Kong outside the window and sighed slightly.
"Now these international speculators who are shorting the Hong Kong financial market, the strategy is to short the Hong Kong dollar, and at the same time short the Hong Kong stock market, forcing the Hong Kong government to raise interest rates, causing the stock market to fall, and obtaining double profits from the foreign exchange market and the stock market. Ji Keying only felt that it was quite difficult for Ye Qian to invest her own funds in the stock market.
Especially in the case of Zheng Fan's disappearance, Ye Qian had to take the lead alone, not only to deal with the supervision of the mainland and the Hong Kong government, but also to let the incident of not finding the big boss fully exposed.
"These international speculators use OTC option contracts, which is really secret enough, so that the fixed-point sniping of short selling is like a storm, and it can achieve unexpected results, which seems to be more cunning than before." Guo Dabao took a sip of hot water and said.
After Zheng Fan disappeared, Ye Qian, who knew Guo Dabao's relationship with him, also asked the fat man about this, but unfortunately he didn't clear anything.
"Everything is unchanged, and no matter how cunning you are, you have taken a fancy to the oil and water of the futures index and the foreign exchange market." Luo Hong said disapprerovingly.
"These international speculators are selling a lot of Hong Kong dollars to exchange for US dollars, and the leveraged positions of short Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market are also increasing, do we also have to follow up with another wave of funds?" Ye Qian asked the absent-minded Ji'er.
"At this time, Tatfook Bank is not suitable for money, and finally eliminated the impact of the disk protection turmoil, if there is another move, it will not be quickly pushed to the forefront again, and Tatfook Bank's private wealth management funds, not to say that they can be used, especially the Hong Kong capital market, which is easy for customers to be disgusted." Ji'er's refusal was obvious.
"I agree with President Ji'er's statement, international speculators short Hong Kong's largest wave of floods, Century Holdings has helped the Hong Kong government to carry the past, now the aftermath of shorting, there is no need for us to take action, with the strength of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the central bank of the mainland, has been able to deal with, they only need to-for-tat, use foreign exchange reserves to absorb Hong Kong dollars, while raising interest rates and tightening the monetary system, Hong Kong interbank lending up, I believe it will soon be able to calm the effect of leverage speculation." Luo Hong was obviously on Ji'er's side.
Zheng Fan is not there, especially when Century Holdings' nuclear power and other assets, which were sold to Yoshii Huixiang for $40 billion, almost all of the physical assets of Century Holdings have been hollowed out, and Ye Qian, the acting president, is also in great difficulty.
If he does not have the support of Tatfook Bank, a subsidiary of the holding company, Ye Qian, the president, will almost be hollowed out, even if he has the heart to protect the Hong Kong capital market, he is powerless.
"It is estimated that the mainland and the Hong Kong government are already going to take action, yesterday the financial secretary has said that Hong Kong's basic economic factors are good, the stock market is not a stock market crash, and to defend the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, the Ministry of Information's capital supervision, and the news shows that Chinese capital has begun to enter the market, and the government is doing blue-chip and red-chip listed companies to repurchase shares, I believe it is preparing for a counterattack, the only place that is not cooperative, is that the international stock market has not gone well in the past two days, and has generally entered a cyclical plunge!" Liu Mingxuan shook his head with a smile.
"Yesterday, the Dow fell more than 500 points, and even carried out a circuit breaker in the intraday, but look at today, it should be stabilized, the main problem may still come from the Asian stock market, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan's stock market fell more fiercely, early this morning, the Bank of South Korea also tried its best to intervene in the market, in order to try to stop the crazy decline of the Korean won, but the foreign exchange reserves are really a drop in the bucket, pale and weak, far from meeting the needs, look at the won and Korean stocks are still sluggish, you can think that the Central Bank of Korea is intervening in the market, it may end in failure! Luo Hong grinned with thick lips and smiled, looking very big-hearted.
"Definitely not, South Korea's foreign debt repayment due at the end of this year and next year will be 110 billion US dollars, coupled with the mainstream of the financial turmoil transferred to South Korea, the Korean won against the US dollar exchange rate continues to fall, its domestic stock market has also been repeatedly weak, at this time, the national economy, almost to the brink of collapse, two days ago the boss's South Korean friend, didn't you find it? It's a pity that it's really unfortunate, and I didn't talk about anything in detail. Liu Mingxuan said expressionlessly.
"Even if the boss is there, she comes from the battalion to ask for advice, but she can't get anything, because the boss is unwilling to pay for the Asian financial crisis, looking at her meaning, it seems that she does not represent the family chaebol, but wants to seek help for the Korean financial market, I think it is better to seek assistance from the International Monetary Fund than to focus on Century Holdings and Tatfook Bank!" Ji Er said with a sneer.
"The power of the Asian financial turmoil, far more than expected, in order to resist the currency depreciation caused by the financial turmoil, as well as the impact of capital outflows, not only Hong Kong has to raise interest rates quickly, South Korea is already doing it, look at it, even if it can survive the financial turmoil, the economic vitality of many Asian countries will be greatly damaged, and when South Korea is almost squeezed, it is estimated that it will be Russia's turn!" Luo Hong licked her lips and said.
"President Ji'er, come to my office."
Seeing that she couldn't use the self-management department, Ye Qian didn't have a good way, so she could only ask Ji'er to come out and say.
"Haven't heard from the boss yet?"
When she arrived at Ye Qian's office, Ji'er's inquiry was a little cold, as if she was blaming her for letting Zheng Fan disappear easily.
"The mainland has been urging the Hong Kong government to investigate, but it doesn't know where it went, as if it disappeared out of thin air in Hong Kong!" Ye Qian said with a hint of fatigue.
"Under normal circumstances, the boss should not go far alone, but he has too many ideas and wants to find it, and it is indeed more difficult." Ji'er sighed.
"It's not just Old Man Dong, even the Zheng and Fang families can't explain, it's still only a small area, if the boss disappears for too long, I'm afraid there will be big trouble." In the face of Ji'er's questioning, Ye Qian did not hide the pressure.
"You didn't come here just to talk about the boss, right?" After a long while, Ji'er said in a deep voice.
"Since the physical assets of Century Holdings have been divested out, I haven't seen Meguma Yoshii for some days, and I don't know what the current situation of the Yoshii consortium is?" Speaking of which, Ye Qian asked Ji'er.
"Although the Yoshii consortium has stabilized, if you want to get on the right track and achieve research results, I am afraid it will be a long time, just like the Asian financial crisis, this matter is not urgent, I will keep an eye on it." Ji'er responded a little playfully, but the look in her beautiful eyes was very cautious.
"Are you blaming me for putting my mind on defending Hong Kong's capital market?" From Ji'er's words, Ye Qian could feel the obvious nostalgia.
"People are like this, if you have this, you want to pursue that, the boss doesn't blame you, I'm even less qualified to say anything, in comparison, I think the boss lady lives a simpler life!" Ji'er sat on the sofa and smiled.
"It's really a bit sudden, the boss hasn't told me yet, if the boss doesn't show up, it's really a needle in a haystack to find him!" Ye Qian said helplessly.
"Since the boss left a message before leaving, there is no need to look for it, there are a lot of things he can't let go, I believe that sooner or later it will have to appear, I'm afraid you have forgotten, the boss is the one who created this great financial dynasty!" Ji Er thought about it and said with a smile.
"There is another thing, I want to discuss it with you, Xiao Yue came over two days ago, and she has the meaning of asking the teacher, I think she wants to fight the idea of Century Holdings and Dafu Bank, how to deal with this matter?" Ye Qian was not afraid of Xiao Yue, but was worried about Xiao Xiuzhi's position.
"It is estimated that for a long time, Xiao Yue will not dare to make a big fuss, even we don't know what the situation of the boss is, if she makes a big trouble, she will not be cleaned up, the key is the attitude of Mrs. Xiao." Ji Er smiled delicately.
"It was unexpectedly calm, she didn't even ask in person, and it gave me the feeling that she knew something." Ye Qian had a guess.
"That's okay, from our standpoint, it's not good to confirm to Mrs. Xiao, although the boss left suddenly this time, he arranged it very carefully, and even the domestic Rainbow Investment Group has done asset disposal, I think he is really going to withdraw from the capital market." Ji'er was somewhat relieved.
"The assets of Rainbow Investment Group have been disposed of, part of the bank's equity was sold to Wang Lin, and part of it was sold to Zhou Na, but the vast majority of it was given to Miss Di Liya for the consideration, and it is estimated that the boss is holding the idea of repaying the debt, and now Chen Min and Yan Weikuan have also returned, leaving only an empty shell of Rainbow Building." Regarding Zheng Fan's approach, Ye Qian seemed to have some reservations.
"Xiao Yue is running around, in the end it is just a void, I was not optimistic about the development of the mainland before, but the disappearance of the boss, what should I do with Russia's investment plan? Before, he said that he would fully support it, is it so stopped? Speaking of which, Ji'er seemed a little unwilling.
