Chapter 56 Moving to Hong Kong
In May, a trading company registered in the British Virgin Islands quietly opened in Hong Kong, the legal representative of this trading company called Zhengrun is an Australian Hong Kong businessman, the registered capital is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, the main business is clothing, machinery and raw materials.
The company soon made its first deal with a French company, transporting the first batch of machinery materials to the port of Rotterdam through their branch in the Netherlands. The machines were not on the UN embargo list, so they were quickly released.
The ships departed from Europe, passed through the English Channel, the Suez Canal, the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and then stopped at ports in Pakistan for replenishment, and Zuihou crossed the Strait of Malacca to their final destination, Hong Kong.
After receiving this batch of goods, Zhengrun quickly sold this batch of goods to a machinery company in eastern Guangdong, and its business channels are sound, so that many people are staggered.
This company was naturally set up by Liao Chengde, and on the mainland, there are more than a dozen companies with different businesses in eastern Guangdong that will take turns to receive goods from all regions of Shijie from here.
As for the company's capital composition, Liao is wholly owned, at least as announced to the public. In the internal agreement, Liao Chengde, Zhong Shi and others gave 50% of the shares, while a company from eastern Guangdong held 40% of the shares.
This is the first time that Zhongshi has been involved in industry, and in fact, it may be the only time that it does not involve mergers and acquisitions, but starts industry in a down-to-earth manner.
In July, Bell Stone amassed about $100 million in capital and smashed into Singapore's Nikkei market again. The upcoming release of Nikkei futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in the United States is another rare opportunity to short Japan.
At this time, half a year has passed since the sharp fall of the Japanese stock market at the beginning of the year, and the Japanese market has initially eased up, re-standing on the peak of 30,000 points, and even breaking through 33,000 points twice in a few months, with a great momentum of making a comeback and recovering lost ground.
It is clear to Kaneishi that the Japanese stock market is far from falling to the end and that it is now not so much a comeback as a strategy of fattening sheep and then slaughtering them. The Japanese stock market is still the largest stock market by market capitalization, down only 5,000 points from its peak, and the confidence of Japanese entrepreneurs has been reinvigorated as the economic situation improves, and they are even confident that they will be able to resist the negative impact of the introduction of Nikkei futures in the US market.
This is naturally impossible.
This time, the operation was completely handed over to Andrew, who was originally Zhong Shi's exclusive agent, and now he has made it clear that he has joined his core team, so Zhong Shi is very at ease with him. For the operation strategy, Zhong Shi only has one sentence to explain, that is, to go all out to short.
Although Andrew was very dissenting, his words undoubtedly carried no weight in the face of Zhong Shi's brilliant record. Besides, he also has two million Hong Kong dollars in it, so he can only carry out Zhong Shi's strategy.
It should be noted that brokers cannot operate with their own funds, which is against professional ethics. However, this literal rule does not restrict brokers from operating privately, and everyone in Shijie has a way to circumvent this regulation.
Since the end of July, the Japanese stock market has entered a second round of decline.
First of all, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange launched Nikkei index futures, and since then, there have been three exchanges listed Nikkei index futures, from the Osaka Exchange in Japan to the port country of Singapore, and then to the United States, where the financial market is most prosperous, the three places have worked together to hit the confidence of the Japanese stock market from the perspective of confidence.
Third, a series of scandals broke out one after another in Japan's financial enterprises, first bank runs and bankruptcies, and then some financial institutions (brokers) misappropriated the funds of small and medium-sized customers to make up for the losses of large customers, and then the scandals involved some small enterprises, beautifying financial statements, and misleading investors to make wrong investments.
Zuihou, there are rumors that foreign foreign investors will be withdrawn from the Japanese stock market in a big way and invested in the real estate market.
This is a combination punch that hits the heart of the Japanese market.
In this situation, the Japanese stock market fell from 33,000 points in July to 20,000 points on October 1 in September, a decline of more than 10,000 points, and its market value fell by more than a third.
In the process of falling, due to the lack of confidence, investors withdraw funds from the stock market, and listed companies do not raise enough funds to expand production, so the business situation deteriorates, and this deterioration is shown in the third quarter of the report, which again causes the market to worry, and this vicious circle continues to occur until October.
In this case, Zhong Shi and others' funds have made a floating profit of more than one billion dollars in the futures index operation in the past few months. Andrew's operation strategy is very ruthless, he will intercept part of the floating profit in one stage as a margin, and all the others are invested in the next stage of short orders, so three or two cycles, the short positions he holds have reached a point of heaven, of course, the profits obtained in the process of falling are also maximized, but such a risk is also extremely large, in case the Japanese stock market is reversed, in order to maintain these positions and the margin to be paid is the amount of days, otherwise it will be forced to close the position.
Zhong Shi got Andrew's operation method at the end of September, and he was stunned in his heart at the time, he couldn't imagine that Andrew, who is not inconspicuous on weekdays, was so radical, and he had the style of Soros! On his orders, Andrew reluctantly emptied all contracts for October and the following months and withdrew from the Singapore market.
Fortunately, he did it in time, and the Japanese stock market will usher in a wave of rebound in October, after all, its real economy has not suffered as much damage as expected, but the decline of the Japanese stock market has already formed, and there is no longer a big bull market that has lasted for several years like eight or nine years ago.
In '91, the international capital finally made a move to strike at Japan, that is, to withdraw capital from the real estate market, leaving behind a large number of messes left after the bursting of the bubble, and also completely dragged the Japanese stock market into a long bear market, which has not eased up for more than ten years.
That's all for later.
The first thing Zhong Shi did after returning to the mainland was to persuade his family to move to Hong Kong, and the ten one-way permits had been obtained, and the deadline for zuihou was December 31, 90, that is, by 91, he was a literal Hong Kong person.
This was originally a great thing, but Zhong Shi's grandfather was an old-fashioned person, and the idea of leaving his homeland was deeply rooted in his mind, and as for his favorite parents, he naturally went to work. Zhong Jianjun and Liu Lan, although they were not very reluctant, but they had been to Hong Kong, seen its prosperity and development, and agreed not long after Zhong Shi continued to do ideological work.
Zhong Fangzhuo has lived in the mainland all his life, he was born in a scholarly family, and has had the old ideas and traditions since he was a child, thinking that reading is as high as possible, and he is quite dissatisfied with what his youngest grandson Zhong Shi has done, and he is dissatisfied with it, but he still sees the changes in his family in recent years.
In the past few years, a lot of fresh electrical appliances have been added to the home, these things would not have been unimaginable in the past, especially when he moved to the city, he suddenly found that the shijie outside has changed so much, changed so fast, so fast that even he can't believe it.
Even so, he was reluctant to leave the mainland.
But after he went to Hong Kong once, it all disappeared. In the interior, no one dared to use servants at that time, this kind of thing was class oppression in politics, and no one dared to take on such a heavy hat. But in Hong Kong, these are not problems, those big families, often have dozens of servants, very much the style before the establishment of the new China.
After Zhong Fangzhuo arrived in Hong Kong, he received a warm welcome from Liao Chengde's family, Liao Chengde performed the junior ceremony, and treated the old man Zhong with respect, and the servants in the family also treated Zhong Fangzhuo as a VIP, so that the old man could find some memories of the young master in the old days. After coming back, Zhong Fangzhuo was no longer so resistant to the idea of moving to Hong Kong, although he didn't know what Zhong Shi had done, but it would not be an improper business to be able to get in touch with a "big man" like Liao Chengde. More importantly, he saw the possibility that Zhong Shi could restore the family's glory.
After two or three months of grinding like this, Zhong Fangzhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief under the repeated persuasion of his two sons and agreed to go to Hong Kong with a large family to recuperate in his old age.
The only thing that is a little troublesome is Zhong Xiaohui, this little girl is quite competitive, and after repeating her studies for a year, she was admitted to Ridan University, which is one of the best universities in the country, and it is not under the two universities in the north at all, it is a pity to give up like this. After discussing with Zhong Shi's parents and Zhong Xiaohui herself, it was decided to let her finish college in the mainland, after all, if Zhong Xiaohui went to Hong Kong to take the exam again, she might not be able to be admitted to a school comparable to Ridan University. At most, let her fly directly from Pudong to Hong Kong during the holidays.
As for the formalities, they were all handed over to the person in charge of liaison on the side of the Aihua Society, which was just a one-way permit for a two-way permit.
Although the Aihua Society is subordinate to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the specific affairs still belong to the government of eastern Guangdong, and soon, the details of Zhong Shi's family were found out clearly, this is just an ordinary family, because of the love of studying in Hong Kong and Liao Xiaohua has a relationship, in recent years, he has made a lot of money in the financial market with Liao Chengde, and he has also lived in a luxury house in Hong Kong.
As for Zhong Shi, because he was too young, although he had a good relationship with his cousin, this clue did not attract the attention of the investigators, so it was missed, and Zhong Shi escaped a catastrophe.
Zhong Shi crossed the Luohu Pass with his family on the 31st of October, but he glanced behind him and silently said in his heart: I will come back eventually.
On the other side of the pass, the three minibuses had been waiting for a long time, and after receiving the Zhong family, they drove quickly to an 8,000-foot mansion that Zhongshi had just bought in Repulse Bay.
