Chapter 122: Falling

Hearing Tang Bao's words, Yang Yang and the others were all holding their breath, their spirits were greatly lifted, and their eyes flashed with excitement. Because the more serious and solemn Tang Bao said at this time, it meant that they were going to do a big job. For those of them who are elite traders, there's nothing more exciting than taking it personally.

So.

After Tang Bao finished admonishing, Yang Yang and other traders all responded excitedly, and they did not have any opinions on the requirements of long-term closure to the outside world...... At the beginning, Tang Bao ordered them to apply for a three-month vacation from the company, and they were already mentally prepared for long-term "seclusion" in advance.

"Boss, now you can talk about the specific plan of action." Among the five traders, only Yang Yang is more familiar with Tang Bao, and Tang Bao does not have gold futures to criticize him, so he is more open.

"Hmm."

Tang Bao smiled, at this time, he didn't plan to continue to hide it.

Organize the language a little.

Tang Bao began to tell everyone his thoughts, "According to the information I have received, the Kuwait Investment Authority should be in secret negotiations with the British government to negotiate the Kuwait Investment Authority's shareholding in the British BP Oil Company. However, the combined strength of the two countries is not at the same level at all, and in the end, it will be difficult for the Kuwait Investment Authority to resist political pressure from the United Kingdom, and will obediently accept the British demand to reduce the stake in the British BP oil company to a level that does not pose a threat to the United Kingdom. ”

Yes.

After listening to Tang Bao's analysis, Yang Yang's eyes suddenly became excited, and he knew what the Kuwait Investment Authority's reduction of holdings would mean.

Since the beginning of this year.

The stock price of BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom rose against the trend, but Yang Yang, who knew the inside story, knew that this was not because BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom had any surprising profit expectations, but because of the continuous increase in holdings of the Kuwait Investment Authority, which dragged up the stock price.

At this time.

If the Kuwait Investment Authority suddenly sells off a large number of shares. It will deal a heavy blow to market confidence, and the most direct manifestation may be that some investors will follow the trend and panic sell, causing stock prices to fall......

"Boss......" Yang Yang said excitedly. After concluding that the share price of BP oil in the UK will plummet in the near future, he understands that the opportunity to make money has come. The expressions of the other four traders were similar to Yang Yang's, as if they were beasts staring at their prey.

"Boss, you tell us, what do we need to do?"

"Hey......

Tang Bao laughed hesitantly and said, "The stock of BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom will plummet, and we naturally can't let go of this great opportunity." ”

"Short selling?"

"Yes. It's about shorting BP oil shares! Tang Bao affirmed Yang Yang's answer, although he has injected two billion US dollars into BP oil company and became a shareholder. But this will not affect Tang Bao to short sell the shares of BP Oil in the United Kingdom, he buys preferred shares, whether the company's earnings are good or bad, and the dividends are fixed. Therefore, as long as he ensures that the British BP oil company is not dragged down, he does not mind taking advantage of the fire to rob.

Let's be honest.

According to the capital injection agreement reached between Tang Bao and Peter, the share price of BP oil company fell and fell into trouble. It is beneficial and harmless for him......

Only when the British BP oil company encounters endless trouble, Tang Bao will have more opportunities to take advantage of the void!

But.

All this had to be done in secret, and if Peter had known that Tang Bao had secretly sold BP shares short, he would have strongly accused him. It is even possible to offend all the shareholders and management of BP in the UK...... In that case, if he wants to join the board of directors of BP in the future, he may be resisted. In addition, his short selling may also attract a regulatory investigation, although he did not use any inside information. But he is indeed a shareholder of BP in the United Kingdom, and regulators have reason to suspect that he is using inside information to make illegal profits from the financial markets. Once the regulators are eyed. It's really troublesome.

So.

This time it's something that can be done, I can't say. Sneak into the village, don't shoot a gun......

"Hmm...... I've summoned you here, and I'm sure you'll be able to guess why. In this operation, I don't want to get involved with Phoenix Investment Group, and I don't want to expose it. So you must be careful when entering the market this time, don't show your feet and be suspicious. Tang Bao emphasized.

"Understood, boss."

Everyone agreed in unison. Everyone is not stupid, Tang Bao deliberately transferred them out of the Phoenix Investment Group, and they were closed here, naturally he wanted to keep them secret.

"Okay, if there is no doubt, everyone will rest first, recuperate, and wait for my order!"

After saying that, Tang Bao stood up directly, and he walked straight into his room. His custom-built Bingui trading room is extremely spacious, with a separate bedroom for resting. Other bathrooms, toilets and other facilities are also available, and there are staff outside to provide 24-hour room service. Therefore, even after being closed for a period of time, except for the limited range of activity space and some stuffiness, the quality of life is not bad.

Of course.

It's not like the kind of free life in the outside world.

……

The next morning, Tang Bao woke up very early and got up before six o'clock.

And then.

Tang Bao sat quietly on the sofa in the living room, thinking about his next move. Yang Yang and the others also got up one after another, gathered together, and ate breakfast.

Everyone talked and laughed, and they were all very relaxed.

"Uh-huh...... Before the market opens, I would like to emphasize a few more points. First, pay attention to secrecy, we just need to follow behind and add fuel to the fire, don't be a bird, attract the attention of those who are interested. Second, it doesn't matter how much profit you make, the key is to try to suppress the stock price of BP Oil in the UK without exposing yourself, and make money in a secondary position. Finally, now that BP is trading at around $50 per share, I expect it to fall below $40, and if it falls below that, I will slowly buy the stock! ”

Tang Bao stuffed a small slice of bread into his mouth and emphasized to everyone.

This time, he prepared 200 trading accounts in advance, each with 10 million US dollars, a total of 2 billion US dollars, which was divided equally. Yang Yang and the other five people each have forty accounts.

"Huh?"

Yang Yang raised his head and looked at Tang Bao suspiciously, and asked, "Boss, do you want to suppress the stock price of BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom, and then take the opportunity to buy it?" ”

Then.

Yang Yang and the others had some doubts in their hearts.

"Huh. BP is so easy to acquire, I'm just taking advantage of the trend. And I won't tell you that not long ago, I injected two billion dollars into BP Oil. Tang Bao said with a smile, and at the same time said about the investment in the British BP oil company.

Yes.

Hearing Tang Bao's words, Yang Yang and the others were stunned for a moment, and their hearts were puzzled...... Now that the bosses have become shareholders of BP Oil. Then why do you want to suppress your own company, isn't it that you can't get along with yourself.

Could it be that my ears are hallucinating?

"Huh. You need not doubt it! I did inject two billion dollars into BP oil, but I was put in a tight spell......"

"Huh?"

Everyone was confused, including Yang Yang, who didn't understand what the "Tightening Mantra" meant. Although Yang Yang is a native of Hong Kong, he has lived in the United States almost since he was a child and has little knowledge of Chinese culture. So he didn't understand the meaning of the "Tightening Mantra" either.

Seeing that everyone was staring at each other, they were confused.

Tang Bao immediately realized that these foreigners might not understand, so he further explained: "Two billion dollars of capital injection. All they get are preferred shares, and they do not have the right to join the board of directors. There are even many harsh conditions attached to it...... I just hope that this operation can break all these restrictions in advance. Hmph, let the British BP oil company take the initiative to come and lift these shackles! ”

Tang Bao said.

Yang Yang and the others immediately understood.

"The boss's equity investment was restricted by the British BP oil company. He hopes that by operating in the stock market, he will suppress the shares of BP oil company in the United Kingdom, so that the other party will be in a difficult situation and will not be able to continue to maintain a tough ......"

Nine o'clock in the morning. The exchange opens on time!

"Boss?"

Yang Yang and the others sat in front of the computer, ready, waiting for Tang Bao's instructions.

Staring at the screen.

BP shares opened at $51.39. This represents a slight increase of 2.03% compared to yesterday's close. The stock price is still relatively stable, but the trading volume is very low.

In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.

The stock volume of BP oil company in the United Kingdom is only a little hundred thousand shares, and most of the transaction prices are at the price of 51 US dollars.

But.

It seems that many investors still have some confidence in BP shares in the UK, and they are not in a hurry to leave the market even after the Kuwait Investment Authority has paused its holdings.

Maybe......

We are still waiting for the Kuwait Investment Authority to restart its increase in holdings.

Seeing that the stock price of BP Oil Company in the United Kingdom was still stable at about $51, Tang Bao frowned slightly, and decisively gave an order: "Small-scale positioning, warm up ......"

The words are not finished.

Suddenly, there was an accident.

Suddenly, there were three sell orders for 100,000 shares in the market, and then there were sell orders like a tide, 10,000 shares, 20,000 shares, 13,000 shares, and 8,000 shares...... BP oil stocks, which have been quiet since the market opened, suddenly attracted a wave of selling without warning!

Belch.

Tang Bao was also stunned, originally he wanted to carry out a small-scale short-selling operation to break this pool of stagnant water, but he still made a move, and it broke out.

Just a few breaths in time.

There were as many as nearly one million sell orders in the market, and it was good that everyone had not overreacted before, and the stock price could barely remain stable, but so many sell orders emerged, even if it was not clear what happened to the accident, some scattered investors also followed the trend in panic to sell stocks......

The share price of BP is falling rapidly.

$51.2.

$51.07.

$51.01.

$50.95.

$50.87.
