Chapter 209: Don't give in
In the proprietary department of Dafu Bank, in the face of Zheng Fan's gaze, although Ji Keying did not dare to look directly at him, her mood gradually stabilized.
"Even the personnel of the self-operated department have begun to make detailed arrangements, and it seems that the adjustment of the management and operation of the entire Tatfook Bank has been clearly launched." Wang Lin thought secretly in his heart.
"It's already half past ten in the morning, and the Hang Seng Index should be running steadily, so let's start bidding." Zheng Fan sat at the small round table and didn't mean to get up.
"Since the day before yesterday, the Hang Seng Index closed at 11605 points, yesterday was a high opening trend, seems to be affected by the Fed's interest rate cut expectations, opened at 11680 points, but slightly higher to 11695 points, the whole day showed a high open and low profit-taking situation, closed at 11609 points, a slight increase of 4 points, this morning continued to weak adjustment, and has now fallen below the 11600 point integer mark, to 11597 points." Ji Keying tried her best to be positive and said loudly.
"In terms of the Hang Seng Index futures contract, the spot trend of the Hang Seng Index is roughly the same, the September futures contract is now 11,603 points, although it still maintains a premium, but the range is narrowing, and the situation of the December contract is also OK, as for the October contract because of the high open interest, the volatility is far less than in September and December." Luo Hong's offer for futures contracts is relatively brief.
"Putting aside the major European stock indexes for the time being, what do you think about the state of the Hang Seng Index and the Dow Jones?" Zheng Fan took a big apple from the fruit bowl and took a bite.
"The fluctuations of the world's major indices are more or less affected by the Federal Reserve's closed-door interest rate meeting, according to Hong Kong time, although today is not the main day of the interest rate meeting, but at about two o'clock tomorrow morning, there should be a result." Harry Maxwell, dressed in a black suit, is not very sure.
"The Federal Reserve is very likely to cut interest rates, but even so, the short-term trend of the major indexes is still not very clear, from the Dow Jones rose and fell, it can be seen that the pressure is very heavy, once everyone has expectations for interest rate cuts, after the news comes out, the market may not have much nutrition." Luo Hong shook his head and said.
"The most intense performance of the Fed's interest rate cut expectations is the international gold price, compared with the hawkish rise in gold prices, the fluctuations of major stock indexes are obviously worse." Liu Mingxuan, a local man in Hong Kong with an expressionless face, is obviously paying more attention to commodities.
"It's like waste, talking for a long time is like saying in vain, I want to hear about clear investment opportunities." Zheng Fan looked impatient, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the analysis of the three of them.
"From the bank's point of view, if it is more prudent, treasury bond futures should be a good choice." Harry, a white man, made a proposal entirely in the context of the situation of the Taffook Bank.
"If you want to make quick profits in the short term, you have to do the hottest variety, under the influence of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut, individual markets may have unexpected fluctuations, the key is to see how to grasp it." Luo Hong couldn't see through Zheng Fan's mind at all.
In the view of Luo Hong, a thick-lipped woman, if Zheng Fan did not close a large number of long positions in the September contract before the closing of the Hang Seng Index futures the day before yesterday, the next day with the expectation of a Fed interest rate cut would be high, and the profit of the proprietary department of Tatfook Bank would likely expand a lot.
"Since commodities are your strength, let's talk about the situation of international gold spots." The corners of Zheng Fan's mouth turned up, and Liu Mingxuan, who was expressionless on the other side, asked with a smile.
"Since the day before yesterday, London gold soared in the intraday, it has maintained a volatile downward trend, the lowest price in the session is about $279, the highest pull up to $293, although the increase is huge, but from the short-term trend, it seems that it has not ended, even if it falls back to finish, it is still maintained above $290, I believe that once there is a substantial interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve, gold prices will have a further upward momentum." Liu Mingxuan, who is expressionless, is still optimistic about the international gold price.
In fact, when Zheng Fan first came to the self-management department, he asked him through Wang Lin why he didn't operate international gold yesterday, and everyone had some guesses, but they didn't know the exact situation.
"What do you think?"
Zheng Fan looked at Wang Lin, who had not spoken, with a smile on his face.
"Don't ask me, don't you already have calculations?" Wang Lin twisted his face and did not give a clear response.
Although he is not sure what Zheng Fan's calculations are, Wang Lin feels that he will not be long international gold spots.
Through the review, Wang Lin can intuitively find that the final liquidation of Tatfook Bank in the international gold spot was obviously left behind by the soaring gold price.
Even if international gold fell last night, the gold price was still higher than the closing price of Taffook Bank's proprietary market, and Wang Lin thought about it later, Zheng Fan seemed to be a little nervous in the process of Greg delivering an economic speech, which also proved that he was not confident in the continuous rise of international gold.
"For the international gold spot, keep an eye first, even if the Hong Kong trading hours are over, the operation is not a big opportunity, see if there is an opportunity in the evening trading hours in Europe and the United States." Zheng Fan got up with a smile, and didn't seem to have any intention of continuing to stay in the self-management department.
"I'll go back later."
Seeing that Zheng Fan was out of the self-operated department, Luo Hong pulled Ji Keying, who wanted to go out with him, and faintly glanced at Wang Lin.
"Are you happy with these two new traders?" Wang Lin walked out of the self-management department and asked Zheng Fan with a smile.
"Cultivate it for a while and then see who can come out on top." Although Zheng Fan didn't say it explicitly, he didn't seem to be very satisfied.
"I was on my plane this afternoon, and if there are no accidents, I probably won't come to Hong Kong again." Wang Lin smiled generously and said goodbye.
"There's nothing to do in the future, when I return home, we'll get back together." Zheng Fan was slightly apologetic in his tone.
"Instead of counting on you, it's better to rely on myself, wait, I won't be looked down upon by you." Wang Lin clenched her small fists in hatred and demonstrated.
"There are a lot of things in the company, so I won't go to the airport to see you off in person." Zheng Fan said with a smile on his face.
"Go get busy."
Wang Lin glanced at Zheng Fan deeply, and after a while, he turned around and walked towards the front room of the elevator.
"That's the best!"
Zheng Fan lowered his head and muttered, making it difficult to see his expression clearly, and immediately went to the office.
"Bell! Clang! Clang! ”
Because the office had already given Ji'er a relationship, Zheng Fan knocked on the door politely.
"What is this for......
Seeing that the desk he owned before, the documents were piled up to block the blonde girl, Zheng Fan, who pushed the door and entered the office, couldn't help but twitch slightly.
Not only that, but the brown-haired woman who followed Jill Stillman was also helping out on the side of the sofa, as if she was checking the business data.
"Buy one, get one free?"
Although Zheng Fan didn't know about the woman who followed Ji'er, he secretly felt that she must be very capable.
"The four ministers of the holding company have already had a meeting with me, and the bank's operation is completely stagnant, how long do you plan to delay?" The blonde girl didn't raise her head.
"It's only been a few days since I officially took over Dafu Bank, can't things be the same?" Zheng Fan showed a little helplessness.
"I'll tell you another bad news, just now a group of senior executives of the bank came to resign en masse, and I have approved it, which will lead to a more chaotic state of bank operation and management." Ji'er said calmly.
"The business can be put aside, but there can be no chaos in management, and it is not a big deal for senior executives to resign en masse, as long as it does not cause substantial losses to the bank." Zheng Fan didn't show any surprise.
"The Minister of Justice and the Minister of Asset Management Review have followed up on the collective resignation of senior executives, and it is estimated that they are busy at this time, and the boss is quite prescient, after taking over Dafu Bank, he will catch the heads of these two departments in the shortest possible time, otherwise he will really be helpless." Ji'er didn't get up until then, with the intention of relaxing her mind.
"As the saying goes, you don't spend money, and if you add up the salaries of your executives, it's not a small amount in a year." Zheng Fan laughed.
"There are too many things in the bank, if I don't have an office, I really can't do it, as for the boss's office, I will let people arrange it as soon as possible." The blonde girl didn't give in.
"Just feel free, with you, in addition to the self-operated department of Dafu Bank, other operations, management, I should not be in charge, if the chairman's office is arranged in the Fuyin Building, it is not very convenient for you and me, but at the moment in addition to this nine-story building, there is no extra office building, for the time being, I can only take a moment." Because of the transparent glass partition, Zheng Fan said that after speaking, he smiled and beckoned outside.
"Boss."
Ji Keying entered the office and looked a little nervous in the face of Zheng Fan and Ji Er, who didn't know their identity.
"I'd like to introduce you, Jill Stillman, the new president of Tafook Bank." Zheng Fan leaned against the boss's desk with a smile and introduced the blonde girl behind him to Ji Keying.
"Hello President."
Ji Keying bowed to Ji'er and said hello.
"Whether it's a holding company or a bank, there seem to be more female executives, boss, don't you look down on men?" The words spoken by the blonde girl made Ji Keying's expression a little strange.
"If I have a crush on a man, my orientation is strange." Zheng Fan rolled his eyes and said.
After a moment of relaxation, Ji'er quickly sat down again and began to process the mountain of papers.
"Boss, Sister Luo Hong said, I may be more suitable for the work ......of a secretary or assistant," Ji Keying inquired with little confidence.
"Your ability to work under pressure is okay, and you went to Oxford University, so you are a good candidate to work as an assistant, but the nature of this job is completely different from that of a trader." Zheng Fan looked at the twenty-five or sixteen-year-old girl and said.
"And ask my boss to tell me what to do."
Ji Keying changed her previous cowardice and seemed to want to seize this opportunity.
(The first one will be sent, and there will be a chapter later.) )
