Chapter 273. Crocodile bucket
Now Soros has just succeeded in sniping in the European market and the North American financial market, not only making his assets rise from 300 million to more than 1 billion in just a few months, but also allowing him to once again take the title of financial wizard into his arms.
However, there are many people who say that the real financial wizard is not him! It's Chen Xuanting, who created a 30 billion super tycoon!
This sentence deeply stimulated Soros's nerves.
No way!
When pigs fly!
So this time Soros has to fight hard, first of all, let his pawns Kwok Bingji and Lu Jinxi get their hands on Hong Kong, a huge market with strong economic growth, and the initial investment has skyrocketed from 15 billion Hong Kong dollars to 35 billion Hong Kong dollars.
If we add to this the scale of the consortium of tens of billions of dollars, and the US consortium with hundreds of billions of capital flows, led by the quantum fund controlled by Soros himself, and such strong assets as the backing, the European, American and the coalition forces that are resolutely long in the futures market do have the capital to run rampant in the Hong Kong financial market.
But then, a set of beating numbers on the computer screen startled Soros's heart.
In a world where the bears occupy the absolute initiative, it is absolutely an unreasonable phenomenon that someone in the futures index trading market has opened 50,000 short positions at 9,100 points.
Blinking his eyes, Soros, who was sure that it was not his own dazzle, immediately turned his head and ordered, "Check it, which seat is empty of 50,000 hands?" β
But before the words fell, the sudden short force opened two short orders of 50,000 hands in a row, directly hitting the Hang Seng Index from around 3,100 points to the 3,000 integer mark, which made Soros sitting in front of the computer feel suddenly startled, and a very bad feeling quickly surged into his heart.
It only took a few minutes for the bad feeling to be confirmed. These three consecutive short orders are actually the account of the "Thunder Group" on the Hong Kong Futures Exchange.
"Could it be that Chen Xuanting is back?" Looking at the special seat of the "Thunder Group" on the futures exchange, and the huge short orders of more than 200,000 hands opened in just a few minutes, the first thought that popped up in Soros's mind was that Chen Xuanting must be back.
With his knowledge of those Hong Kong tycoons, such as Li Ka-shing and Fok Ying-tung, he definitely does not have this kind of courage.
However, didn't the informant he bought insist that Chen Xuanting didn't know that he was defenseless when he came to Hong Kong? Is there something wrong with the informant?
Thinking of this, a thought immediately popped up in Soros's mind that made him break out in a cold sweat: "Chen Xuanting, that guy, has already taken precautions!" He's been waiting for his own move! β
So, he immediately dialed the phone of a person in charge of receiving information within the Quantum Fund, and asked if there were any other consortia other than the Thunder Group to open a short position on the Hong Kong futures index, until he got a negative answer from the other party, and the heart that was hanging in the air fell again.
As long as you don't unite with those people in Hong Kong, I'm not afraid of you!
Soros sneered.
One Chinese is a worm, a group of Chinese is a dragon!
It's a pity that you Chinese like infighting the most, and you will always be a plate of scattered sand, and you can't hold a group!
After saying the phone, Soros, who was heavily relieved, walked to the wine cabinet in the corner of the room and poured himself a glass of red wine, and then muttered in a low voice as if comforting himself: "Maybe, I was too sensitive just now!"
As long as those Chinese cannot unite and use the stocks in their hands to fight back at this moment of relationship, even if Chen Xuanting, who is hailed as a financial genius, returns to Hong Kong. Under the joint attack of Europe, the United States and the consortium, it is absolutely impossible to storm this impregnable fortress unless the British political axe moves all the foreign exchange reserves in the national treasury to Hong Kong. But will the British political axe be? For a place where there are still three years to go over, the British political axe will definitely not set itself on fire. All this will only make the Chinese political axe awaiting the transfer of power bitter.
Perhaps, the more than 200,000 empty positions opened by the Thunder Group are unacceptable under strong pressure! Looking at the empty positions of more than 200,000 words piled up on the screen, it didn't take long for most of them to be eaten up by the seats of the Quantum Fund, and Soros had to comfort himself like this in his heart.
And the next trading situation, just seemed to confirm his judgment just now, when the more than 200,000 short positions were eaten by their own quantum funds and European consortiums, the bulls on the disk regained the absolute initiative, and maintained this advantage until the moment the futures exchange closed.
Looking at the data that had solidified on the computer screen, Soros smiled self-deprecatingly at the end of the day's work: "It seems that it is really a false alarm!"
Hong Kong Thunder Group Building.
Within the Investment Department.
Luo Minsheng is a financial investment manager hired by Chen Xuanting from Wall Street in the United States. When Luo Minsheng was poached from Wall Street by Chen Xuanting and was responsible for looting the wealth of the Soviet Union, he did not expect that he would follow such a boss to create a world miracle.
Chen Xuanting became the richest Chinese in the world, and even surpassed Bill Gates to become the richest man in the world, and he, a fledgling financial economist, also became a world-renowned gold medal financial investor.
After his success, Luo Minsheng once asked his boss Chen Xuanting, why do you want to choose me as a novice among so many people? After all, there are so many more experienced people than me.
Luo Minsheng remembers very well that Chen Xuanting's answer at that time was that the biggest advantage of a veteran in the financial industry is experience, and the biggest disadvantage is also experience - people with too much experience are often the most emotional when it comes to big votes, thinking that their experience is always right, so they will hesitate to delay the best time. Newcomers are different, I believe in that sentence, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers!
Facts have proved that Chen Xuanting's choice is right, because he is a newcomer, Luo Minsheng is not afraid of everything in front of him on the one hand, and on the other hand, he listens to Chen Xuanting's investment advice, so he has created a world miracle in financial investment of Thunder Group.
But will the miracle continue? Especially now.
Luo Minsheng rubbed his stiff cheeks with his hand, in just two years, he felt that he was much older, to be precise, his mentality was much older. Under the halo, he no longer has the pride of a newborn calf, and has become a cautious and subtle investor in order to maintain his glory.
At this moment, looking at the changes in the Hang Seng Index, Luo Minsheng, as the investment manager of Thunder, seemed a little uneasy. Because of today's four-hour trading, Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which has climbed to more than 9,300 points, has caused the company to lose another billion yuan. If we add in the losses of more than 4 billion yuan a few days ago, the amount of their losses in the past week has reached an astonishing 6 billion. It was almost one-tenth of the total operating capital of the financial investment department of the Thunder Group, which made him doubt the judgment of his boss Chen Xuanting for the first time.
Thinking of the instructions that the boss had given a few days ago, Luo Minsheng, who was sitting on the big chair, couldn't help but sigh deeply. In the current situation, it is estimated that only if the international situation changes dramatically or the US consortium headed by Soros suddenly shorts the backhand, it is possible for them to turn defeat into victory.
In fact, the "Thunder Group", as the main force of the bears, has now been forced to the edge of the cliff, unless the two possibilities he just thought of occur, otherwise the bulls who are pressing step by step will continue to pull up the Hang Seng Index, sucking up the funds they put in the futures market little by little, until the moment when the bullet is exhausted and the exchange cuts off the position.
Looking at the white clouds floating outside the window for a while, Luo Minsheng muttered to himself, "Boss, I really want to know what tricks you are playing!"
But what he would never know was that in a building a few kilometers away from the "Thunder Building", Chen Xuanting, the boss in his mouth, was also sitting by the floor-to-ceiling window, drinking the best red wine in a cup, while looking at the white clouds floating outside and thinking about the next trend.
Since meeting Soros in South Korea, Chen Xuanting, who has suffered a loss, has keenly discovered the fighting spirit behind Soros.
Chen Xuanting admits that he is not a god, but he has more predictive ability than others, so he knows the tragedy of the financial turmoil in his previous life. Know how big the appetite of Soros, the financial predator, is.
For such an enemy, Chen Xuanting did not dare to take it lightly, so from the very beginning, he paid attention to Soros's every move. Because Chen Xuanting knows that he is good at playing movies, and playing finance is still a little tender in front of a predator like Soros.
Like this time, Chen Xuanting had to use the move of "hurting people with his own" to resist the attack of the Quantum Fund.
The confrontation at this moment is like a war, Soros is prepared, and his spirit is in full swing, and Thunder can only use his strong capital to defend his castle, so that he can preserve his strength and confuse the enemy.
That's why Chen Xuanting ordered Luo Minsheng to keep opening positions in this bullish market under the watchful eyes of the bulls, so that Soros easily thought that he was fighting a war that was about to be won.
Carelessness is a warrior's worst enemy!
And Chen Xuanting is looking for such an opportunity.
However, what Chen Xuanting did not expect was the chain reaction of his decision. His actions, like bloodletting in the sea, attracted those sharks cruising in the financial sea -- at this moment, Hong Kong has become the source of the financial war in the whole world!
The storm that Soros was looking forward to seemed to be coming one step earlier. Especially in the futures market, the performance is more obvious.
The futures market is a purely speculative market, which is equivalent to two gamblers sitting at opposite ends of the table to bet on the size, and if one side wins, then one of them must lose. What is important here is the game between the bookmakers, one side is long, and the other side must be short.
Only in this way can this money game, which is more exciting than gambling, continue to be played.
The most important thing in futures speculation is to choose the right direction. As long as you choose the right direction, you can continue to make profits with the bookmaker, and the money invested in the futures market will snowball until the last drop of blood of your opponent is squeezed out.
Therefore, when someone started to go long again and continuously opened huge short positions, those financial speculators who had been on the sidelines immediately swam over like a group of great white sharks that smelled blood, making the Hong Kong Hang Seng Futures Index, which had been silent for months, lively again.
A financial war is inevitable!
At this moment, shaking the red wine in his hand, Chen Xuanting had a headache.
He didn't expect that his deliberate decision to show weakness would cause such trouble. Those financial giants seem to like to bully the small, and like to gather together to devour those small fish.
Chen Xuanting knew that in the face of the current situation, even if he had Wu Baiyi's worth, he still couldn't withstand this group of menacing sharks. Especially against Soros, the giant of the quantum fund, he lacks that kind of practical skills.
Since you can't defeat yourself, you need to find someone to dismantle the move. Who to look for? At this time, Chen Xuanting remembered another financial fund - Tiger Fund!
As a world-famous hedge fund, Chen Xuanting has long admired the Tiger Fund, and the Tiger Fund has been at odds with the Quantum Fund under the leadership of Soros, a few months ago, the Tiger Fund and the Quantum Fund even fought on Wall Street as a long and short side on the NASDAQ index, and finally Soros was a step ahead, and after looting the loot, he withdrew from the stock market. The Tiger Fund, on the other hand, is like a wounded tiger, licking its wounds alone.
Chen Xuanting thought of this and suddenly decided to fight against Soros's Quantum Fund in conjunction with Tiger Fund!
Now, Chen Xuanting has sent the invitation over, but Robertson, the leader of the Tiger Fund, has not moved.
For the quantum fund and the fund organization under the Thunder Group, he seems to be still watching from the wall.
There are no permanent enemies in the financial markets, only permanent profits.
For Tiger Fund, they can now choose two directions, first, join forces with Chen Xuanting's Thunder Fund to stop the financial storm set off by Quantum Fund in Asia; Second, he joined forces with his former enemy, the Quantum Fund, to make money in the financial turmoil he set off.
Now Chen Xuanting is waiting for the decision of Robertson, the leader of the Tiger Fund.
Footsteps rang out.
Chen Xuanting didn't move, and he didn't look back.
An American voice rang out, "You're on time, Chen!" β
The chair was pulled apart, and a middle-aged man with glasses sat down. He had brown hair and thick spectacles, and he looked like a country teacher like the usual American one.
But everyone in the financial world knows that he is the same name as Soros, the leader of the Tiger Fund - Robertson!
"Would you like a glass of wine?" Chen Xuanting asked.
"No, I don't drink alcohol - come to Hong Kong or drink your Chinese tea!"
"It's weird."
"What?"
"Don't you think, we Chinese like to drink your coffee and red wine, while you foreigners like our Chinese teaββ"
"This is the herd mentality of the nation - the rarer it is, the better!"
Chen Xuanting smiled and didn't say anything more.
After a while, the waiter brought a cup of oolong tea.
Robertson smiled and asked the waiter, "Is this tea the best for you?" β
The waiter hurriedly said, "Sir, this tea is the most expensive we have here!" β
Robertson: "No, you didn't hear me clearly, I'm asking if this tea is the best, not the most expensive!" β
The waiter scratched his head: "That's different, isn't the most expensive the best?" β
Robertson waved his hand to signal that he could leave, then turned back to Chen Xuanting and said with a smile, "Dear Chen, what do you think?" β
Chen Xuanting smiled, "Are you testing me?" β
Robertson: "Sort of. β
Chen Xuanting: "Now our thunder doesn't look like the most expensive cup of tea, does it?" You may choose an expensive tea like Quantum Fund, but this cup of tea may not be delicious. β
Robertson: "Why?" β
Chen Xuanting smiled: "Because there are too many people who like that cup of tea, for you, it can't quench your thirst!" β
"Hahaha!" Then Robertson suddenly laughed, "Do I look like someone with such a big appetite?" Why should I refuse to cooperate with Soros? After all, if our two major funds join forces, the whole of Asia will fall into a tornado storm, even if you are hailed as a genius, dear Chen, you will not be able to return to the sky! β
Chen Xuanting: "But you won't-"
Robertson was curious: "Why?" β
Chen Xuanting: "Because people like you are outright adventurers and crazy!" You will never choose the kind of conservative and safe investment, but choose to maximize the benefits - we have a saying in China: wealth and wealth are sought in danger! Do you understand?! Besides, as far as I know, Soros has always been at odds with you, thinking that you don't deserve to be compared to him at all, can you bear this breath? β
Robertson smiled, "Chen, you are very shrewd, I have to admit this, but unfortunately, your traditional Chinese radical method is not suitable for me - I like your classics very much, especially the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"!" β
Chen Xuanting scratched his eyebrows, "I didn't expect that you saw through it-"
Robertson was stunned for a moment, and laughed again: "Chen, I didn't expect you to admit it." β
Chen Xuanting shrugged. "There's no shame in that, I'd rather be thick-skinned than lose in a financial war."
Robertson smiled again, picked up the cup of oolong tea and took a sip, "It tastes very good, but it's a little bitter." β
Chen Xuanting: "Bitterness comes sweetly, this is the true meaning of oolong tea!" β
Robertson: "It's also the true meaning of the financial world - it's hard to come and go!" β
Chen Xuanting: "I like what you say. β
Robertson: "We seem to have a consensus. β
Chen Xuanting: "Yes, it looks like I didn't invite you in vain, nor did I invite you to drink this tea in vain." β
Robertson: "Stingy, Chen, you're so stingy!" β
Chen Xuanting: "I am very generous and invite you to share such a huge cake in the futures market-"
Robertson: "A lot of bullish long, you are short, I don't dare to follow you crazy!" β
Chen Xuanting: "Love to fight to win, dare to go crazy to win!" Unless you're timidβ"
Robertson: "Another agitator?" β
Chen Xuanting: "No, it's the last invitation!" After speaking, he picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth, and threw it away, "If you want, join forces with me, if you don't want to, I Chen Xuanting won't force it, I just hope you don't regret it!" β
Seeing that Chen Xuanting's attitude was resolute, and the two of them were judged just now, then Robertson was confused, "Chen, I don't understand, why are you so fearless?" β
Chen Xuanting smiled, "Because many people look down on us Chinese are not united, but unfortunately you are wrong-"
Robertson seemed to catch something, and hurriedly said: "Could it be that all those tycoons in Hong Kong have allied with you?" β
Chen Xuanting didn't answer his words directly, and said directly: "Hong Kong is not something you ghosts can afford!" Remember our Chinese saying, a strong dragon does not suppress the head snake! What's more, we are not snakes, but dragons! β
Just leave.
Looking at Chen Xuanting's back that suddenly became extremely unruly, Robertson suddenly shouted behind him: "Chen, I am willing to cooperate with you!" β
Chen Xuanting's footsteps did not stop, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
