Chapter 224: Bargaining
It was none other than Ren Yigang, the Chief Executive of the HKMA, who pushed the door in, and saw him standing at the door of the conference room with a blue face, glancing at the crowd in the conference room.
Through the cracks, you can faintly see that behind Ren Yigang, there are several figures shaking. Even the sharp-eyed people found that there were bodyguards in black and sunglasses following.
This sudden scene was like a thunderbolt from the sky, deeply imprinted in everyone's minds.
Who is Ren Yigang? Even these researchers and traders who are not engaged in the Hong Kong market are familiar with his name and appearance, let alone those who are immersed in the Hong Kong market. At first glance, almost everyone was stunned when they saw the famous president Ren appear in the conference room of his company. Those who are more active and active immediately think that maybe there is a mistake in a certain fund and it is investigated by someone from the HKMA.
It's just that in a panic, these people don't realize that if it is to investigate insider trading, it will not be the HKMA, but the Hong Kong Securities and Futures Commission or the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau.
"I heard you're going to buy Hong Kong?" Ren Yi just glanced at the others, then walked to Zhong Shi in the middle with a sinking face, and asked in a deep voice, "You are really so bold that you dare not even answer the phone in my office!" ”
Originally, Ren Yigang's sudden appearance had already shocked many employees of Tianyu Fund, but after hearing the first words he said, the "fragile" hearts of these people were hit hard again.
There are too many stimuli today, under the impact of repeated shocks. Most of them were numb.
Zhong Shi didn't answer, but looked around, then waved his hand, stood up and walked outside on his own, saying as he walked: "This is not the place to talk, let's find another quiet room." President Ren, do you know that it is very rude for you to break in without notice? Tsk......"
Everyone first watched Ren Yigang walk out with Zhong Shi, and then pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what the two of them would say. But Zhong Shi's footsteps were fast. He deliberately lowered his voice, so that the sound was soon inaudible.
Among them, some of the more courageous researchers also took the opportunity to stand up, wanting to follow behind the two. Satisfy your voyeurism. I haven't walked out of the door yet. Two tower-like figures flashed in from outside the door, one left and one right, and a slap the size of a fan swung forward, signaling that everyone should not leave.
Looking at the bodyguard with a blank face. With their bulging waists, the researchers did not dare to be careless, so they could only resist the curiosity in their hearts, obediently sat back in their seats, and waited quietly.
Fortunately, they didn't have to wait long, and five minutes later, Zhong Shi and Ren Yigang's figures reappeared from the Tianyu Fund's office, and then the two walked away surrounded by a group of people. After they and their entourage completely disappeared, a heated discussion immediately erupted within the Tianyu Foundation.
……
"Is that you?"
Cen Yinquan looked at Zhong Shi in front of him with interest, and looked at it carefully for a long time, before he spoke: "I really didn't expect a hero to be a teenager. Children, are you planning to cooperate with the Hong Kong government to resist international speculators? ”
"Yes!"
It was already late at night, and the unstoppable tiredness hit Zhong Shi's mind like a wave, so even if he was forced to endure the sleepiness, Zhong Shi still yawned very unsightly, and tears flowed out, "Director Cen, you are too inhumane, you caught people back in the middle of the night, and almost scared me to death." First of all, I would like to state that I have not done anything illegal or undisciplined, nor have I participated in the speculation activities of international speculators in Hong Kong. ”
"I believe this!" Regarding Zhong Shi's gaffe, Cen Yinquan didn't think it was wrong, smiled casually and said perfunctory, and then said in a kind tone, "Little friend, there is something we can discuss, I don't know if it's okay?" I want to lend you US$10 billion in the name of the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong for three months, what do you think? ”
After a pause, for fear that Zhong Shi would not agree, he hurriedly added: "Of course, we will pay you interest according to the market interest rate, and it can even be 10% to 50% higher, it depends on the situation." ”
After taking a cup of coffee, Zhong Shi tilted his head and took a sip, and he had a lot of energy. He wiped his mouth with a sneering smile on his face, "Director Cen, you don't really think that I'm young and easy to deceive, right?" Three months of short-term borrowing, tens of millions of dollars in interest, just want to send me away? It's ridiculous! ”
Cen Yinquan's plan was discovered, and his expression was suddenly a little stunned. He looked up at Ren Yigang opposite, and saw that the other party was shaking his head slightly towards him, and he felt a little clear in his heart. When he looked at Zhong Shi again, seeing that the other party had a smile on his face, his old face couldn't help but turn red, and he coughed lightly: "Okay, since Mr. Zhong, you don't agree with the first plan, then let's talk about the second plan......
"Director Cen, you stop first!" Zhong Shi waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "Director Cen, you should know that even without your consent, I can enter the market to buy and sell Hong Kong stocks, right?" So what you and President Ren need to make clear is that the current situation is that you have a request for me, not me to send it to your door at will! ”
The subtlety of this matter is that Zhong Shi does not need the consent of the HKMA or the Financial Secretary at all, and he can completely bypass both to buy and sell Hong Kong stocks. And the reason why these two people were notified, from the current point of view, seems to be completely out of Zhong Shi's "public heart".
"Since that's the case, let's open the skylight and say something!" Seeing that Zhong Shi was not fooled and took the lead in showing his hole cards, Cen Yinquan's face also showed a smile, "It's easy to talk to smart people." Since Zhong Sheng can buy and sell Hong Kong stocks without going through us, then there is no need for us to continue to talk about it. But since I'm sitting here at this moment, and you're here, Mr. Zhong, it means that we still have room for discussion, doesn't it? ”
"If I'm not mistaken. Mr. Chung must want to take advantage of this opportunity, or it can be said that he is using the name of our Hong Kong government to make a fuss, I guess I am not wrong, right? Since everyone takes what they need, why talk about the so-called 'mercy'? ”
"In fact, even if we don't need your money, we can beat the international speculators, but we just lose an empty name of so-called non-intervention in the market. Moreover, it is still unknown whether international speculators will attack Hong Kong again, so think about it now. We're sitting here talking about something that probably won't happen. I'm afraid that I will laugh and be generous! ”
"Also, you are also afraid of the occurrence of a situation in the market, that is, if you want to buy the bottom, you will be trapped. No one can tell the market situation, even if you think you have grasped the psychological bottom line of international speculators. Maybe the Hang Seng Index will come out of a lower number on the next trading day. It is every investor's dream to want to enter at the lowest time. But without our cooperation. I'm afraid this dream of yours can only be a pipe dream! ”
"Awesome!"
Zhong Shi gave Cen Yinquan a thumbs up, "Director Cen is indeed powerful, and he reversed the shape in two or three sentences." But I can tell you unmistakable. There is no doubt that international speculators will not only attack Hong Kong, but have already done so. In addition, I also want to give Hong Kong a better chance of winning, so I will contact you, so please believe my purpose, everyone is for Hong Kong to be better tomorrow. ”
"Of course, I don't deny that in fact, my funds are simply insignificant, and even if I don't have my funds to enter the market, the Hong Kong government and everyone here may be able to beat international speculators. But this is only if, in the unlikely event that the Hong Kong government loses in the hands of international speculators, then the funds you use may become their spoils of war, and I wonder how everyone here will explain to the millions of citizens in Hong Kong? ”
His words directly hit the key point of Cen Yinquan, yes, although Cen Yinquan can use the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves plus the land fund, but in case of defeat, he will not be able to escape the blame even if he dies.
Now, if there is Zhongshi funds to attract firepower in the front, then the problem is different: as long as it sees that the signs are wrong, the Hong Kong government can withdraw in time and save the funds of all Hong Kong citizens as much as possible.
Of course, there are pros and cons, if it defeats international speculators, then the profits may go into Zhongshi's pocket.
"I have prepared a total of about 110 billion Hong Kong dollars for this fight with international speculators, and these funds will soon flow into all corners of the market. Although it is nothing compared to the market capitalization of the entire Hong Kong stock market, I roughly estimated that this money can buy 3%-4% of the total number of Hong Kong stocks. Of course, some Hong Kong stocks may exceed this figure in their allocation, while some penny stocks may not even buy a lot. ”
"I'm not greedy either, holding these stocks for five years at most, and then gradually selling them back into circulation. What do you guys think of this? To help you defeat international speculators, you have to charge some interest! ”
Speaking of which, Zhong Shi showed all his hole cards. He really wanted to take this opportunity to buy the Hong Kong stock market on a large scale. Of course, it is also to resist the sell-off from international speculators from the front, and indirectly help the Hong Kong government.
"Five years?"
Cen Yinquan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and his skills were so agile that he didn't look like a middle-aged man in his forties and fifties, "What are you kidding?" One year, two years at most, that's our bottom line. If you keep it for a long time, sooner or later it will be a big deal. When the time comes, you have to polish all the Hong Kong stocks on hand, and you can't cause violent fluctuations in the market! ”
"Three years, at least three years!" Zhong Shi pondered for a moment, then said decisively, "I can guarantee that all the others will quit after three years." ”
For a stock market, although there are many predators, it is undoubtedly disastrous and intolerable for funds like Zhong Shi to control 3%-4% of the market value. Although there are no explicit legal provisions, almost all investors know that if a similar situation occurs in a market, then every move of these funds will have a huge impact on the entire market, and this impact will endanger the fairness principle of the exchange, and may even destroy the credibility of the entire market.
Both sides are well aware of this, so they focused on the holding time. In the end, Cen Yinquan thought about it again and again, and exchanged views with Ren Yigang, and then he preliminarily agreed.
Of course, in the past three years, with the development of the economy and the increase in the number of listed companies, if there is no new capital injection, the proportion of these funds will gradually decrease, but it is still not to be underestimated. In order for the exchange to not be controlled by others, and for the prosperity of Hong Kong's capital market, Cen Yinquan will try his best to drive away Zhong Shi.
It's not a rabbit dead dog, it's a reality.
After discussing some details of the problem, Zhong Shi suddenly changed his tone and said sternly: "Since we are now in the same trench, then I will tell you a strategy, and the success of this strategy may be directly related to the success or failure of our defense of Hong Kong's capital market!"
