Chapter 250: Infiltrating South Africa?
Late at night, Tang Bao's villa was still brightly lit. Recently, Tang Bao has been sleeping very late, studying various materials alone in the quiet night, making careful preparations in advance for the upcoming "Japanese opportunity". Although Tang Bao clearly remembers the exact time of the collapse of the Japanese stock market, if he wants to make money from this opportunity, careful planning in advance is essential.
When the amount of funds under control reaches a certain amount, it is not so simple to want to enter and exit at will in the international capital market.
And......
Tang Bao and the Phoenix Investment Group are also very famous, and their every move has attracted much attention, and it is impossible to hide the attention of the outside world if they want to mobilize large sums of money into Japan. Fortunately, the opportunity of the collapse of the Japanese stock market is not something that can be seized only by entering Japan.
Right now.
There are three exchanges in the financial market that have launched futures contracts for the Nikkei 225 Index: the Singapore Financial Futures Exchange, the Osaka Stock Exchange, and the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, which will soon launch the Nikkei.
If memory serves.
The Singapore Financial Futures Exchange was the first to launch the first Nikkei 225 Index futures contract a few years ago, and then the Osaka and Chicago Mercantile Exchanges followed up to form a situation where three companies jointly traded Nikkei 225 Index futures, and because the Singapore Financial Exchange launched earlier, it has a great advantage, and has maintained a leading position in the trading of Nikkei 225 Index futures for a long time.
Strictly speaking.
The pricing of Nikkei 225 futures contracts has always been in the hands of the Singapore Financial Exchange. Singapore is the main battlefield for Nikkei futures.
It sounds ridiculous that Japan's first stock index futures contract was born in Singapore and that it has pricing power rather than in China, but it is an indisputable fact. Because futures trading is prohibited by law according to the original Securities Law and Exchange Act of Japan, Japan does not have the legal conditions to launch stock index futures contracts! This situation was not until the Japanese authorities realized that the launch of the Nikkei 225 index in Singapore put domestic institutional investors at an absolute disadvantage. It caused a huge impact and threat to the domestic financial market, and only then did it urgently amend the Securities and Exchange Law and hastily launch the first local stock index futures contract.
For now.
To put it bluntly, the Singapore Financial Futures Exchange is the most mature market in terms of Nikkei futures products. Whether it is the rules of the trading market, the market share occupied, the activity of the transaction, the trading volume, etc., it occupies an absolute hegemony.
Tang Bao's carefully read information is the historical data of the Singapore Financial Futures Exchange about Nikkei index trading, short Nikkei index futures, Singapore is a market that cannot be ignored. But Singapore's financial market is limited, and he worries that he won't be able to find enough counterparties...... This. The amount of money mobilized by Tang Bao will reach tens of billions of dollars, and after the leverage operation, that amount will be terrifyingly higher.
Fortunately.
Tang Bao made a layout in the Japanese financial market in advance during the US stock market crash two years ago, and the assets stranded in Japan are also very large. Even if he didn't mobilize a penny to enter this time, Tang Bao could mobilize a large amount of money on the spot.
……
"Knock knock knock......" Tang Bao was immersed in making a careful plan, and suddenly, a quick knock on the door sounded, Tang Bao looked at his watch, and couldn't help frowning. I secretly said in my heart. It's almost half past one in the morning, who would come over to disturb so late?
"Mr. Tang?!"
Mark, who was in charge of protecting Tang Bao, was very vigilant, and a quick knock on the door immediately woke him up. glanced at Tang Bao. He took out the pistol from his waist and walked to the door of the living room.
Click.
The door opened.
"Uh, Officer Mark, hello, I didn't expect you to rest so late?" I saw that the person who opened the door for him was actually a black male policeman, Mark. And with the weapon in his hand, Ilya said with a busy smile.
Call.
When he saw that the person who came was Elijah, who had disappeared for several days, Mark was also very relieved. He put away his weapon and returned to the living room.
"Well, Mr. Tang, I'm sorry! Visiting late at night, hoping to disturb your rest. Ilya said sorry, but he didn't apologize, he left for a while, but he never broke off contact with Natalia and others, naturally he knew Tang Bao's schedule well, and knew that Tang Bao would not sleep at this point in time. Otherwise, even if he is not interested, it is impossible for him to knock on the door in the middle of the night.
"Looking at your excitement, I think it's good news for me. Sit! Tang Bao pointed to the sofa opposite and said with a smile.
A week earlier, Ilya had taken a leave of absence from the United States to meet up with his "friends" to personally confirm Simocco's whereabouts.
on this.
Ilya didn't have any politeness, and sat down directly.
"Agent Mark, go back and rest in peace, the security measures of my villa can be described as an iron bucket, and no one can threaten me." Tang Bao said kindly.
"Okay, then I'll go back to my room first. Be sure to alert me if there is any movement. Mark nodded, he knew very well in his heart that Tang Bao and Ilya had important matters to discuss, and he needed to be separated. He wanted to stay and listen, but he didn't have any reason.
Wait for Mark to get back to his room.
Tang Bao also took Ilya to the living room upstairs, which was much more private than the rooms downstairs where outsiders could come and go at will.
"Are you sure of Simocco's whereabouts?" Tang Bao asked straight to the point.
"Hmm."
Ilya nodded excitedly and said. Then, he reached into the pocket of his coat and quickly took out a stack of photos and handed them to Tang Bao.
The man in the photo wears sunglasses and has gray hair, but he still looks very muscular.
"He's Simoko? Well...... Muddy roads, broken grass houses, is there such a declining place in Italy? Tang Bao said suspiciously.
"Yes, he's Simoko, who on the surface looks like a knowledgeable scholar, but he's not as good as a beast and a bad conscience."
"He's a human or a ghost, and I don't bother to care about what people and gods are angry about, but he shouldn't have done it, he shouldn't have provoked me." Tang Bao said coldly.
on this.
Ilya nodded in agreement, Tang Bao and Simok were originally people from two worlds, and there would be no intersection, but because of Simoko's stupid move, the two sides were antagonistic, and it was an endless confrontation. He has come into contact with a very large number of rich people, but all of them take their safety very seriously without exception, and as long as there is a threat, they will erase it at any cost. And they only need to spend a small amount of their wealth, and countless people will be willing to do it for them...... This is true of the average rich, let alone the third richest man in the world.
Simocco is certainly difficult and terrifying, but the power of money is infinite, as long as Tang Bao is willing to spend money, it is not difficult to find a mercenary group to solve his troubles in the Middle East and North Africa. Even the opponents within the Hey-Hand Party, as well as the competitors of the Hey-Hand Party, are happy to make a move.
It was because of this that Ilya said that Simocco was stupid.
"Oh, yes. The place in the photo is not Italy, but South Africa! Previously, Simocco's tracks were erratic and elusive, probably because he had been setting off a smoke screen all the time. This time, if it weren't for the good tracking skills of the friend I entrusted and the long tracking time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to be sure. Ilya explained.
"South Africa?"
Tang Bao was surprised.
"That's right, South Africa. I took the photos myself in South Africa, and while it's unclear why Simocco left his lair and sneaked into South Africa, it was a great opportunity. Originally, he was hiding in Italy, and it might take a lot of effort to deal with him. But now...... Hey. At this, Ilya couldn't help but laugh wickedly.
"Sure?" Tang Bao asked calmly.
"Hmm. We've been in Africa for five or six years, and we're very familiar with the situation there. On the other hand, Simocco was restrained and far away from his lair due to his secret infiltration. Ilya said, and then, "I know that there can only be one chance to make a move against Simoko, so I'll be cautious." However, this time Simoko is away from the nest, which is indeed a golden opportunity. ”
"That's good. Hmm, how can I help? Tang Bao said. Truth be told, though, he doesn't have much to do other than provide financial support.
Let alone.
If this matter gets bigger, he provides funds to Ilya, which may also cause trouble. After all, Simocco is registered in Interpol, and he was killed inexplicably, and it is impossible not to attract attention, once he goes all out to track down, it is difficult to ensure that Ilya and others will not be found, and then think of Tang Bao's kidnapping by the Hey Hand Party, it is just a matter of course that Tang Bao is implicated in his head.
"No, I don't. We can handle it ourselves, and everything will have nothing to do with Mr. Tang. Of course, it has nothing to do with us. ”
"Don't leave any clues, it's done." Tang Bao still reminded sternly with some unease.
"Understood."
Ilya laughed.
Then.
Ilya asked another sharp question, "Mr. Tang, this time all the members of my group will be transferred to South Africa to participate in the battle. But without a plausible reason, leaving all in one suddenly could arouse the suspicions of Mark and Theresa...... They and Interpol are keeping an eye out for the Hey-Hand transnational criminal activities. ”
Well.
Tang Bao couldn't help but nodded, this is a difficult problem. Ilya and the others, as his personal bodyguards, did not honestly protect the safety by his side, but they left suddenly, which inevitably aroused suspicion.
Think about it for a moment.
Tang Bao asked, "Hmm, how long do you estimate this operation will take?" ”
"It's hard to be sure, after all, the timing of the shot is very important. If nothing else, counting the time to go back and forth, it will definitely be done in three to five days. Ilya said.
"Well, five days is a bit long, just three days. I will create a reasonable opportunity for you to leave......" Tang Bao said calmly. (To be continued......)
