Chapter 655 [Hold 10,000 Points]
On Saturday evening, Bank of Bahrain and Peregrine jointly announced that Bank of Bahrain injected $300 million to acquire a 51% stake in Peregrine.
As soon as the news came out, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shaken.
Many people know that it is only a matter of time before Peregrine goes bankrupt, but they did not expect the Bank of Bahrain to intervene at the last minute; You know, the Zurich Group hesitated for two months and gave up at the last minute; In just two days, the Bank of Bahrain announced the injection of Peregrine, which is simply invincible.
Of course, some people think that Liang Botao is known as Lin Zuhui's 'staff officer', perhaps it is by virtue of the relationship between the two that the Bank of Bahrain intervened in this matter at the last moment.
And the Bank of Bahrain itself is also news, and the news of the bankruptcy three years ago is still a negative teaching material for the world's major financial institutions. But in the three years since Octopus Financial Group took over, the Bank of Bahrain has once again become the world's financial institution, earning nearly $1 billion on the Nikkei Index.
Wherever you fall, you get up, and that's the impression that the Bank of Bahrain makes.
The impact of this news is not limited to this, many people have regained some confidence in the stock market on Monday; After all, behind the Bank of Bahrain is the god of stocks Lin Zuhui, at this time the Bank of Bahrain shot, which means that Lin Zuhui has shot, so everyone has a certain confidence in the Hang Seng Index 10,000 points defense.
.......
Sunday.
Soros's aides walked into his office and told him the news.
"What does this Lin Zuhui mean? As far as we know, he cashed out a large amount of stock speculation funds at the peak last year, and it stands to reason that he should be happy with the collapse of the Hong Kong stock market, so that it is conducive to him to buy the bottom! Nowadays, he is always guarding the Hang Seng Index at critical moments. Soros whispered.
The assistant thought for a moment and said: "Judging from the current situation, maybe he just wants to protect his one-third of an acre, such as last time for his five listed companies; And this time, he took the opportunity to annex Peregrine, and he had a very good personal relationship with Peregrine's boss. Therefore, he was not directly involved, after all, as a shrewd businessman, he was also waiting for the Xiangjiang stock market to plummet to a certain extent, and then buy the bottom. ”
In the eyes of Wall Street, financial people are cold-blooded, even if there is an opportunity to short US stocks, as long as there is enough profit, everyone will do it. And Lin Zuhui is also a top financial speculator, there is no reason why this is not the case.
Soros nodded and said with satisfaction: "Your analysis is very reasonable, so it seems that Lin Zuhui is not an opponent, he just wants to fish in troubled waters." Tomorrow we will do as planned, and this time we must break 10,000 points. Now, the four little dragons are left with Xiangjiang, and it's time to concentrate on dealing with Xiangjiang! ”
Singapore, South Korea, and Japan are almost over, and now the goal of international speculators is a Xiangjiang.
The assistant said: "Okay, I'll get in touch, and everyone will work together tomorrow!" ”
........
Peregrine Inc.
Lin Zuhui brought Andre, President of Bank of Bahrain, and four directors stationed in Peregrine to Peregrine's conference room and held a meeting with Peregrine's board of directors.
The first thing was that Lin Zuhui unceremoniously dismissed the four directors headed by Du Huilian.
Du Huilian looked at his old partner Liang Botao with a complicated look, because when the two sides negotiated the conditions, they did not mention the dismissal of the four directors at all. Obviously, Liang Botao knew about this, after all, he knew the relationship between Liang Botao and Lin Zuhui, just like the relationship between him and Li Chaoren.
Lin Zuhui said solemnly: "Mr. Du Huilian, what you need to understand is that once Peregrine goes bankrupt, the Xiangjiang Court will definitely investigate the legal responsibility of the four of you, and there will be no place for you in the Xiangjiang business community at that time." Therefore, we have only removed your board seats, which is already benevolent. ”
In fact, after the follow-up review of the specific evidence of the dereliction of duty of the four directors of Du Huilian, a public bombardment is indispensable. At that time, the four of them will also become a joke in the business community of Hong Kong.
Today, Du Huilian has more than half of the responsibility, because Liang Botao is responsible for the listing business of mainland enterprises in Hong Kong and the local business in Hong Kong, and Du Huilian is the 'king' of Southeast Asia, and this time Southeast Asia has lost more than 800 million US dollars (bad debts, may reduce some losses), and Du Huilian is the culprit.
Liang Botao cannot say that he is not responsible, after all, he is the chairman of the board of directors of Peregrine. Therefore, Liang Botao is also a 'sinner', and Lin Zuhui dares to use this kind of adventurous talent because all his subordinates are acting in Lin Zuhui's general policy, and there is no chance to be adventurous.
Du Huilian wanted to quibble, but he found that under Lin Zuhui's majesty, he couldn't raise his courage at all. Losers, where do you get the courage?
After the four of them left the meeting room, Lim announced: "Bank of Bahrain has four directors, and Peregrine will continue to be led by Mr. Liang Botao. ”
The other directors applauded, very sincerely, because the arrival of the Bank of Bahrain means that Peregrine's situation has improved. You must know that Lin Zuhui is an expert in 'turning waste into treasure', from the National Commercial Bank to the Bank of Bahrain, which is not after bankruptcy, it was revived under Lin Zuhui.
Peregrine is saved, which means that the directors who hold the shares are saved, and once they go bankrupt, they will not get anything at all.
Then, Lin Zuhui arranged: "The first thing: the entire Asian economy will deteriorate this year, what should Peregrine deal with, you consider for yourself, in short, Peregrine should be broken and rebuilt, instead of tinkering and stealing a living." ”
"The second thing: after tomorrow's decisive battle, the Hang Seng Index will usher in a wave of 'small spring' technical rebound, Peregrine is ready to sell Guangsheng's shares to my Leit Group, so that we can really alleviate Peregrine's crisis."
Although Kwong Sang Hong also has a share of brand rights in the mainland, such as 'Shuangzhu', 'Liushen' and 'Yashuang', which were popular in Shanghai in the past, the brand rights of mainland companies cannot leave the mainland, because the world only recognizes the brand rights of Heung Kong Company.
Just like Wang Laoji in his previous life, his descendants registered trademarks around the world, and Cantonese medicine could not be exported at all. After all, one is compulsory confiscation, and the other is family inheritance.
Next, everyone expressed their opinions, of course, they all expressed their positions on Lin Zuhui's framework.
"In this way, there is almost more than 500 million cash flow, and we can keep a part of the effective bonds to avoid excessive losses," Liang said. At the same time, the business channels in Southeast Asia still have to be kept temporarily. ”
Andre nodded and agreed: "As long as it is an investment banking channel, it is the cornerstone of future development and cannot be cut." ”
With sufficient funds, it is possible to keep some of the assets and business. The Bank of Bahrain will send four directors to review these.
Of course, Peregrine will still be privatized, but the time is not yet right; After the privatization, Bank of Bahrain appointed Liang Botao as Vice President of Bank of Bahrain and was responsible for the combined Asian business of the two companies.
The investment in Peregrine this time, the Bank of Bahrain spent 300 million US dollars, but in the account of the Bank of Bahrain, it was more than 1.5 billion US dollars, which did not affect the company. On the contrary, after the acquisition of Peregrine, Bank of Bahrain has become a world-class investment bank.
In the future, the Bank of Bahrain will become an important weapon in the hands of Lin Zuhui.
........
The next day, there was another big battle in the Xiangjiang stock market - international speculators vs. mysterious opponents.
International speculators have sold a lot of short in an attempt to break through 10,000 points, which is something that many investors understand.
The hall of a securities company.
"It's miserable, it's already below 10,200 points, and 10,000 points can't be saved!"
"Not necessarily, it's already afternoon, today by the news of 'Bahrain Bank becoming a Peregrine', the stock market has performed very well!"
"No, it's easy to panic sell at the end of the market, and it's not easy to keep 10,000 points!"
Investors looked at the electronic display screen anxiously and scolded the mother of the international speculator.
Suddenly, someone said: "Look, there seems to be a large number of orders here at 10200 points, which have been nailed here for a long time!" ”
Suddenly, everyone discovered this anomaly, and at this time, international speculators must be selling a lot of shorts, after all, their goal is to rush 10,000 points. But this is not the case at this time, as soon as the Hang Seng Index breaks 10,200 points, it will quickly pull back above 10,200 points.
"There's a lot of money going on to buy the bottom!"
"yes, it's going to be a technical rebound!"
"In this kind of market, we must seize the technical rebound and then make a profit!"
For a time, many veterans of stock speculation began to buy the bottom.
At this time, international speculators also found that there were a large number of funds on the defense at 10,200 points, about 2 billion funds in an hour, which really surprised everyone.
Everyone tried to attack a few times, but found that it was in vain, and this force did not seem to have the slightest 'mud and water'. Later, a large amount of money was added, and the Hang Seng Index began to rebound.
In the end, it closed at 10,500 points, much higher than the expectations of international speculators.
"Who is it?" All international speculators are asking.
Quantum Fund.
Soros's assistant informed him of the situation as soon as possible.
"Looks like the one is digging the bottom line, I'm sure." Soros smiled.
The assistant asked, "The boss doesn't seem to regret it?" ”
Soros said: "Why do I regret it, you must know that we have sniped the Hang Seng Index by 1,700 points this time, from 12,250 points to 10,500 points. Didn't we make a profit? ”
The assistant suddenly smiled and said: "Yes, we have made another profit, of course we have won." Once again, the Hang Seng Index will definitely break 10,000 points! ”
Soros said confidently: "Next time, see you at 4,000 points, we will make the Hang Seng Index only 25% of the peak." But for the next decisive battle, we first prepared for a while, and these two times were a bit rushed, so it was just a temptation. ”
The assistant said admiringly: "Yes, Xiangjiang has become our ATM, and Xiangjiang investors have become afraid of us. Cowardice without a fight is their biggest loophole. ”
Regarding Lin Zuhui's behavior, Soros felt that he had guessed his mind, that is, to absorb while the price was low, the essence was for his own interests, not to save the market.
Both sides are thinking about it, Soros is guessing Lin Zuhui, and why is Lin Zuhui calculating international speculators.
Both times he was cautious for fear of giving the impression that he had a lot of money.
His real purpose is to cooperate with the HKMA and the international speculators to tie up the Hang Seng Index. At that time, nearly 60 billion funds will be a huge force.
Of course, after the sniping in January, Xiangjiang's economy was hit again. After all, the HKMA has raised bank interest rates and peer interest rates, causing real estate and the economy to fall again.
