Chapter 220: The Awakened Hong Kong Government
"That's it?"
It was a middle-aged man in his forties who spoke, his brows were tightly locked, the expression on his face seemed to be contemplative, and it seemed to be recalling, and after being silent for a long time, he finally couldn't hold back the question in his heart, and spoke first, "Are you sure it's this person?" Why do I think he behaves in a frivolous manner? ”
In the Hong Kong government office building on Queen's Road, in a conference room of about 50 or 60 square meters, more than 20 senior government officials in suits and leather shoes are sitting upright, looking at the other side of the conference room in unison...... There, a large photograph of Andrew was shaking, taken at the charity gala.
Andrew is surrounded by a large number of fund managers, and as the picture changes, his expression first panics, then becomes complacent, and seems to enjoy the feeling of the stars holding the moon. Later, he slipped straight into a Rolls-Royce and drove away with several fund managers.
"Director Cen, don't underestimate this person." The people on the side of the HKMA finally spoke, and after Shen Liantao glanced at Ren Yigang, he said lightly, "This Englishman named Andrew came to Hong Kong at the end of the 8o, and he was just a small broker at first. But he soon quit his job and became the investment director of a company called Tianyu Fund. ”
"Since X-Spatial Fund is not registered in Hong Kong, it is difficult for us to find out the details of the fund. However, they have registered a separate asset management company, which is said to have about US$5ooo US dollars under management, and this fund operates in the local market. The main active locations are concentrated in equities and Hong Kong index futures, typical of hedge fund operations. ”
"According to the information fed back from the exchange, this fund called Tianyu China has keenly seized the opportunity when international speculators attacked Hong Kong in the previous times, and successfully shorted the Hong Kong stock futures index. The most amazing thing is that this fund can always sell its positions at the most profitable point and then buy the Hang Seng Index before the market rebounds, so we suspect that this fund has a high degree of connection with international speculators. ”
"So what?"
The one who was called Director Cen by Shen Liantao frowned lightly and nodded slowly, but in the next moment. He seemed to remember something again. Then his eyebrows raised again, and he asked sharply: "Are you going to ask him to help and let him explain how international speculators attack Hong Kong's capital market?" ”
In his opinion. This kind of behavior has a bit of a taste of tiger skin. After all, the other party may be one of the international speculators. Such behaviour by the HKMA is highly likely to expose its own ignorance. Fueling the arrogance of the other party on a certain course.
Although international speculators have not been seen in the capital markets of the Hong Kong dollar and Hong Kong since February, the Financial Secretary and the HKMA are still on the lookout for the enemy. Especially some time ago. On the occasion of the first anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, the two government departments and the stock exchange issued an almost overnight warning, and everyone had to stick to their posts, but fortunately, international speculators did not act in the end.
Although international speculators have not moved, the Hong Kong government still does not dare to relax for a moment. Therefore, Hong Kong stocks began to fall continuously in July, and this phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the Financial Secretary and the HKMA. After observing for a period of time, the Financial Secretary, Mr Shun Yin-kuen, convened this high-level financial meeting at the behest of the Financial Secretary, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
What annoyed him a little was that the HKMA's experts were divided into two camps during internal discussions. One camp believes that the ultimate goal of international speculators is to defeat the Hong Kong dollar, so the spot and futures markets of the Hong Kong dollar are the top priority. On the other hand, there is a view that international speculators are attacking the Hong Kong dollar to achieve the purpose of raising the call rate, and then shorting the Hong Kong stock futures index to make profits, which is diametrically opposed to the view of the other school.
The funds to be allocated vary depending on the focus, and Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves plus US dollar assets for the transfer of land are limited. Therefore, Cen Yinquan did not dare to be careless, so he could only convene a meeting to discuss countermeasures and fully listen to the opinions of all parties.
Now, the faction of the HKMA, led by Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao, has even thought of touching the bottom of the "international speculators", which is very likely to expose the HKMA's professional shortcomings.
"That's right, Director Cen." As soon as he heard the other party's suddenly aggravated tone, Ren Yigang only thought for a moment before suddenly realizing it, and quickly explained, "According to market rumors, coupled with our personal verification, it is determined that this person named Andrew cannot be regarded as a member of the international speculators, not even a peripheral person. Because he once spread the news of the attack on the won in Hong Kong's financial circles, many people who listened to him benefited a lot. Although we don't know what he did for what he did, it is certain that this person should be different from what we think. ”
"If it's really different from what you think, then you can still get in touch." Hearing this, Cen Yinquan's tone softened, but the next moment he continued, "This kind of strategic thing should not let the blue-eyed foreigners know too much, God knows what their background is." You should keep in mind that Hong Kong is an eventful time now, and it is always right to be more careful. ”
Due to Hong Kong's special geographical location, Hong Kong became one of the centers of struggle for various intelligence officers after World War II. And this phenomenon has not disappeared after Hong Kong's return to China, but has become more and more intense, especially on the first anniversary of Hong Kong's return to China, this kind of underground activities have become more frequent.
"We know that!" Ren Yigang nodded expressionlessly, snapped his fingers at the staff who were playing the slides, and then said, "Actually, what we should pay more attention to is this person, maybe he is the master behind this ghost Andrew!" ”
The staff immediately stepped forward, fiddled with the projector, and soon the picture was frozen on a picture. In the picture, Andrew is listening with his head down while the person who speaks. It's Bell Stone.
"Zhong Shek, 22 years old, came to Hong Kong in the 90s and currently lives in a detached house in Repulse Bay. Graduated from the University of Chicago, his cousin Zhong Yi is the chairman of the board of directors of Huade Real Estate, a listed company. According to publicly disclosed information, Huade Real Estate changed hands in 94 years, and the acquirer was an overseas company called Tianyu International Holdings. At present, the market value of Huade Real Estate is about 30 billion, and its business scope is mainly in major cities in the mainland. ”
"The focus is not on the CEO of the listed company, but on this young man named Zhongshi. Everyone, please take a look. Andrew in the picture. It was obvious that he was obedient to Zhong Shiyan, which attracted our attention. Later, after a full investigation, we have reason to believe that this Mr. Zhong Shi is the big boss behind Tianyu Fund. And Andrew was just a pawn who was pushed to the forefront. So. I think. Instead of inviting Andrew, it is better to invite this Mr. Zhong Shi Zhong, and he has emigrated from the Big 6. Loyalty should be assured. ”
There was an uproar in the conference room, for no other reason, because Zhong Shi's face was so young that it was almost impossible to believe that this was a fund manager who could control hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
“……”
After staring at Zhong Shi's young face for a long time, Cen Yinquan slowly shook his head and said, "Even if there is really a genius in this world, don't you think he is still a little too young?" Can't you find any other advisors besides these people? ”
"I don't see it that way!" To the surprise of most people present, Ren Yigang denied Cen Yinquan's opinion, "Director Cen, don't underestimate this Mr. Zhong Shi." If I tell you that this Mr. Zhong was once received by the Prime Minister of Zhuge Pavilion and is deeply trusted, you should change your opinion. ”
After a slight pause, after everyone digested the shocking news, Ren Yigang continued: "In addition, I believe you all know that the mainland government also has a secret fund flowing into the Hong Kong capital market in order to protect the market. I have met with their directors in the first place, and most of them are full of praise for this Mr. Zhong and strongly urge us to cooperate with this Mr. Zhong. ”
"Also, this Mr. Zhong doesn't know where he got the relationship, and he actually became our external economic adviser to the Hong Kong government, although I don't know the ins and outs of this matter, but I am sure that the energy behind this Mr. Zhong is far beyond our imagination. Strictly speaking, this Mr. Zhong is our man, and I believe that if we greet him, he will not refuse. ”
"Princeling?"
Cen Yinquan turned his head slightly, and after whispering to the person next to him, he asked in a deep voice: "Could it be from a wealthy family in the mainland?" Why haven't I heard of this either? ”
"The opposite is true." Ren Yigang denied again, "The Zhong family was originally an ordinary family in the mainland, and at most it can only be regarded as a scholarly family, far from being a wealthy family. I don't know why, I suddenly moved to Hong Kong in the late 80s. According to our information, the Tianyu Fund where he works is extremely wealthy, and even ordinary employees drive Ferrari sports cars. However, according to the feedback from the exchange, except for one of the funds, the others have never appeared on the trading list of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. However, under the personal name of Mr. Zhong, there are many transaction records of buying and selling Hong Kong stock futures indexes. ”
"Here's a list of deals, take a look." As soon as Ren Yi waved his hand, a staff member held a thick stack of paper and distributed it in front of everyone.
For the list of individual transactions, this is a confidential thing, and only exchanges and brokerage companies have this information. However, since these lists had already been closed, and secondly, at the request of the monetary authority that governs the exchange, Ren Yigang had almost no trouble getting these materials.
"HSBC, Stanley, Goodman, Citigroup......" Cen Yinquan whispered casually as he flipped through the paper in his hand, but when his eyes saw the amount column, his voice immediately stopped abruptly, and his pupils contracted suddenly.
"Seventy million...... No, 770 million Hong Kong dollars, my God! Cen Yinquan lamented that this figure was really unexpected, and it was as much as 100 million US dollars.
"These are just part of it, in fact, in the last few times, this Mr. Zhong also made similar profits by shorting Hong Kong stocks." Shen Liantao interjected at the right time, "According to our judgment, this Mr. Zhong should not be an international speculator, but his own professional judgment." Therefore, it is necessary for us to invite this Mr. Zhong to come over and discuss the true intentions of international speculators. ”
"Since there is a guarantee from the mainland side, and the affirmation of a few of you, then you can give it a try first." Cen Yinquan finally nodded yes, "However, I want to participate in person to see if this Mr. Zhong is what you say, and he can really understand the intentions of international speculators." After all, this matter was personally assigned, and it concerns the wealth of the people of Hong Kong, so I still have to personally investigate it. ”
"Of course!" After glancing at each other, Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao said in unison. (To be continued!)
