Chapter 233 Heavy news
It's just that Zhong Shi knows very well that in the current environment, many people have doubts about how long the Hong Kong dollar can hold on, except for the people in the Hong Kong government who know that they would rather die than retreat, most of the other people have doubts about the future of the Hong Kong dollar.
Therefore, Zhong Shi did not criticize Ren Ruowei's expression, after all, this is also human nature. This is one of the reasons why he didn't tell the two of them, if they leaked the news, the control of his whole situation would be a little more unknown.
Zhongshi doesn't want any surprises!
On August 12, after a slight reversal of the rise, on the 13th, due to the decline in European and American stock markets, coupled with the previous day's rebound was not satisfactory, and the call rate remained high and other factors, the Hang Seng Index fell again.
At the opening of 6846 points, there was a slight correction in the intraday, but it was soon enveloped by pessimism, and investors almost lost confidence and rushed to sell their stocks first. During the session, the Hang Seng Index once fell to 6,544 points, but with the support of several funds, the Hang Seng Index barely rose to 6,660 points, falling nearly 200 points throughout the day, or 2.90%.
So far, the Hang Seng Index has fallen from the highest point of 16,820 points in 97 years to 6,660 points today, a full drop of more than 10,000 points, a decline of more than 60%, a new low since 1995.
What kind of concept is this? For example, if an index fund buys stocks in strict proportion to the Hang Seng Index. So even if the fund's decision-makers had bought the corresponding shares in '95, without counting dividends and dividends, he would have lost money on his books so far. This also means that in the past three years, his investment performance has been negative and completely failed!
And for those investors who do not strictly follow the index ratio to buy stocks, no matter whether you enter the market from 7,000 points, 8,000 points, or 10,000 points, how complex and changeable the capital allocation is, until this day. The stocks they hold are all loss-making. And the higher the number of points to enter the market. The more you lose, the more you lose.
The entire stock market has plummeted to more than sixty percent, not to mention individual stocks. There are even some stocks that have directly entered the ranks of penny stocks because of their poor performance, and have completely become junk stocks.
Along with the decline in the stock market, there is also the real estate industry. Due to the fall in house prices. It made many people go bankrupt overnight. From a rich man to a "loser". The market is full of properties for free transfer, and the news of someone jumping off a building to commit suicide on TV is a constant reminder of how bad the economic environment is today.
"That's it. They're not going to stop yet? Ma Jiarui angrily threw down a newspaper in his hand and scolded angrily, "Hit the street, today they also released a rumor, saying that they want to suppress the Hong Kong stock index to 3,000 points and turn Hong Kong into a dead port." Lose your mother, let me meet it, I must kill this group of people. ”
Even Ma Jiarui, who has always been very personable and well-cultivated, burst out foul language, which shows how much the other party's behavior makes him hate.
"Another 500 million was invested today!"
Ren Ruowei, who was supposed to react violently, was a lot more "calm" at this time, only to see him silently pick up the newspaper, and after a slight glance at the news above, he sat down on the sofa dejectedly, held his cheek with one hand, and repeated with his eyes blankly: "I don't know when I will be able to untie it!" ”
On the front page of the newspaper, a shocking line of large characters was printed: "The property has been depreciated by the mortgage, and the small owner is dying with his family."
"Calm down, everyone!"
Morale was low and morale was sluggish, and at this time, Zhong Shi had to stand up and say, "Everyone, now is the time for you to show professionalism and not be too affected by negative factors from the outside world." You should know who is responsible for today's situation. Yes, it's the international speculators! Think about what we are doing now, which is to snipe at these speculators and restore a normal economic environment in Hong Kong. Think about how meaningful, if not great, what we're doing, so I ask you to cheer up. ”
In fact, for stocks, it is normal to have ups and downs. Positive news will rise, positive and negative news will fall, financial statements will rise, growth prospects will rise, losses will fall, market share shrinkage will fall, originally these are general business rules, it depends on how investors interpret it, how to choose short or long.
However, this is not the case at present, and when Hong Kong's economic environment is still good, it is a dirty and despicable thing for international speculators to suppress or even destroy Hong Kong's capital market with their financial advantages.
If countries such as South Korea, Thailand, and Indonesia have their own problems to a greater or lesser extent, then none of these problems exist for Hong Kong. In this case, it still spares no effort to attack the Hong Kong market, which can definitely be called ill-intentioned!
Although their behavior is very despicable, so far, it has to be said that the international speculators have done a good job, all their behaviors are within the scope of business rules, making full use of the lack of investor confidence, and borrowing the "momentum" of the economic crisis in the entire Southeast Asian region to the fullest, which is why today's situation is today.
So Zhong Shi's words didn't have much of an uplifting effect, and the traders and researchers were still hanging their heads and listless. Although Tianyu Fund entered the market around 7,000 points, so far it can be said that the losses are limited, but in the case that the market outlook is still bearish, who can guarantee that their losses will not increase further?
"If I'm not mistaken, there will be another wave of news from international speculators soon!" Seeing the failure of the morale-boosting move, Zhong Shi had to show his "hole card": "Now the pessimism of the whole market is pervasive, large investment institutions are frantically withdrawing their funds, investment banks' bearish reports are also one after another, and the bearish warrants of some stocks have been speculated to sky-high prices." So in this case. If the speculators really want to destroy the Hong Kong stock market, then they will definitely release more ferocious and shocking news at this time! ”
His words have somewhat attracted the attention of the employees, but they are of no use to the current form. After being awkwardly silent for a long time, Ma Jiarui answered: "If it is really as Zhong Sheng said, the speculators release new blockbuster news, and the Hong Kong stock market will definitely plummet at that time, what can we do?" Keep buying? That's undoubtedly hitting a stone with an egg, and it's beyond your own strength! ”
The others nodded in unison, although they did not speak. Obviously, they all agree with the meaning of Ma Jiarui's words.
"Who says we can't do anything?" Seeing that even Ma Jiarui was a little discouraged. Zhong Shi couldn't help but be a little annoyed, and he unconsciously brought a little anger when he spoke, "Don't think that others are really swordsmen, we are just fish on the chopping board." Slaughtered! Actually, what I haven't told you all is. I've always had a very big plan in mind. This plan is enough to shake the whole market! Of course, I'm not going to say it now, but you'll find out soon. As for the specific timing. It's up to the international speculators to make a move! Trust me, the day when the market reverses won't be too far away! ”
Although Zhong Shi's words are conclusive, everyone else is the elite of this market and has their own set of professional judgments and analysis, so Zhong Shi's words still did not stir up too much morale. Although they were all very curious in their hearts, they were all wondering what the "big plan" Zhong Shi was talking about, but since Zhong Shi said that now was not the time, they simply didn't ask.
The aura that has hung over Zhong Shi for a long time cannot offset their pessimistic judgment of the future, after all, this time the opponent is international speculators led by Soros. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the scale of funds that Soros currently manages, it is comparable to that of the Tianyu Fund, not to mention the many funds that follow him.
"I'm done! Go home and rest! After getting together in twos and threes and discussing for a long time, Ma Jiarui stood up and walked straight outside, shaking his head and saying as he walked.
With his departure, the others also left one after another, and finally Zhong Shi was the only one left in the entire trading hall, after looking at the deserted office, Zhong Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly, lit a cigarette, and stood quietly in front of the window, looking at Victoria Harbor at nightfall, unwilling to leave for a long time.
……
"Today?"
In Manhattan, New York, in the office of Quantum Fund, Druckenmiller is having a final conversation with Soros before the market opens.
"Yes, it's today!" Soros nodded, a smug smile on his face, "The Wall Street Journal, everyone will read this report, and then it will be up to the East to react!" ”
It's just that the "smug smile" he showed can definitely be called a "cruel and ruthless smile" in the eyes of others, because what he is currently planning is to push certain countries or regions into the bottomless abyss!
"Okay!" Druckenmiller nodded noncommittally, and after thinking about it, he asked, "George, your article will definitely attract the attention of the whole world, and then not only the Russian market, but also the European and American markets will be affected." The question is, is it really necessary for us to publish this article at the risk of offending the Russian government? You know, even if you don't appeal, the ruble won't last long! ”
"Stanley, you're ignoring another market!" Soros knocked on the table and reminded him proudly, "Although we can take the opportunity to make some money, don't forget that we have two main battlefields, one is Moscow and the other is Hong Kong." And Hong Kong's stock market fell again today, and it has fallen to the lowest level in the last three years, so we have to take advantage of this time to give them another heavy blow and completely defeat them! ”
As he spoke, Soros made a fist swing. Although the posture is not standard, it is enough to express what he means.
"You went to Madison Square Garden again last week to watch a boxing match?" Druckenmiller was taken aback, then laughed, "George, your analogy is apt. But you're too old to do these dangerous moves, so watch your bones, old bones! ”
"God, aren't you?" Soros pretended to be angry, stood up and waved at Druckenmiller, "Come on, come on, let me try you, see whose bones are harder!" Damn, don't go! ”
After watching Druckenmiller flee his office in a flash, Soros sat down again, punched the air hard, and muttered, "KO!" Ten seconds! I won! ”
……
In the "Wall Street Journal" published on the 13th, an article written by Soros himself on the shape of the Russian economy was published. In the article, Soros strongly called on Moscow to face up to its economic problems and take active and effective measures to solve the current problems. In the article, he gives the solution: the Russian ruble should be devalued by 15 to 25 percent.
The news immediately shook the entire market, and the New York stock market fell in response, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling from 8,550 points at the opening to 8,549 at the close, down 101 points, or 1.09%, for the day. The Financial Times index in London fell from 5,462 points to 5,399, down 63 points, or 1.15%.
And these are just the beginnings, the markets in the Far East have not yet opened! (To be continued......)
