Chapter 691: The wind blows in the Xiangjiang River and the fierce dragon crosses the river

Lu Fei finished playing golf with the Zhengxing Banner "Landowners Association" composed of leaders such as BlackRock, Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and Sequoia, which ended the last part of Feigou.com's road show in the United States. This group of Wall Street veterans is extremely talented. Don't miss such a huge profit-making opportunity.

During the playing period, David Solomon has been testing Lu Fei's tone, inquiring about establishing four short-selling funds with John Paulson.

Who is Master Lu?

Show off acting skills comparable to those of an Oscar-winning actor, give him a mysterious smile, open his mouth and close his confidentiality agreement.

David Solomon can't wait to slap Lu Fei and his big mouth!

As soon as they separated, they got into the car angrily and left.

"Huaxia Lu is a bastard!"

David Solomon yelled into his cell phone: "His mouth is tighter than a pussy!"

"David, if he didn't say it, he would have said it. At least it proved our suspicion that their fund is most likely shorting Greek government bonds, European bonds, and even the euro, just like us."

There was a hint of gloom in John Waldron's voice.

"Farke, Paulson and him all have stupid noses!"

David Solomon was very unhappy. Goldman Sachs had been planning the European debt situation for more than ten years. When he was picking peaches, he discovered that Lu Fei, a little bastard, was fishing in troubled waters and stealing chickens.

"What can be done about this? Although we have placed an undercover agent in his fund, he and Warren are now shareholders of Goldman Sachs. The information is no longer one-way and transparent. Any slightest hint of trouble may allow him to speculate on Goldman Sachs's investment direction. "

John Waldron sighed.

"The problem is that the undercover agent we installed didn't report the whole thing! Was it because he couldn't find out, or did he know that he didn't report it?"

David Solomon frowned.

"I will send someone to verify."

John Waldron smiled: "Fortunately, before he bought shares, in addition to shorting the Eurozone, there was also the Middle East..."

"The plan is finally about to start, right?"

David Solomon laughed, "Jeh, Jie, Jie."

"Of course, in order to cause chaos in the euro zone, we must first mess up the finances in the Middle East!" John Waldron laughed.

The next day, Dubai publicly announced that its holdings of Dubai World and its real estate arm Palm Group were unable to repay their debts. Immediately afterwards, the rating of the sovereign debt was significantly downgraded.

As soon as the news came out, it immediately caused global stock markets to oscillate.

This is a blow to the recovering global economy!
“I just received the news that Dubai’s debt has exploded!”

On the Gulfstream G450 flying to Xiangjiang, Xu Xin hurriedly walked over and said, "A Fei, you are really right."

"This is normal. It would be abnormal if it didn't explode."

Lu Fei crossed his legs: "How is the situation now?"

"It may be worse than the Greek debt. In addition to financial debt, Dubai also has a real estate bubble. Banks such as HSBC, Citigroup, and Bank of America are trapped. Some foreign investors are ready to cut off their flesh and blood to survive. The current gap alone is tens of billions. Beautiful knife.”

"If the hole is not filled in time, Neon's economic crisis in the 90s will happen in Dubai. Fortunately, in the debt group, Neon's Mitsui Banking Corporation announced that it will extend Dubai's debt."

Xu Xin's mouth was dry and she drank a cup of coffee in one breath.

"Sister Xin, this is not good news."

"Isn't it?"

"Have you forgotten who is the major shareholder of Mitsui Bank?"

"Goldman Sachs!"

"Think about it, although Dubai has been extended for half a year, it sends a very bad signal, that is, half a year is the final deadline to repay the debt. But does Dubai have the money?"

"That is to say, in half a year, debt groups like Mitsui Bank will begin to directly press for debt from Dubai, right?"

"Most of the debt groups are European investors, such as Deutsche Bank, UBS, and Barclays. They will definitely demand money with all their strength when the time comes."

"Goldman Sachs is just trying to make HSBC and others tired of collecting debts!?"

"Yes."

Lu Fei snapped his fingers, "The Dubai crisis will not only severely damage the oil industry in the Middle East, but also cause European banks to fall into debt collection and distract attention, giving Goldman Sachs an opportunity to detonate the Greek debt crisis. At that time, European banks will also Without climbing out of the quagmire of the Middle East and falling into the European debt pit, Goldman Sachs will be able to explode the debts of euro zone countries one by one."

“You mean, the Dubai crisis is a conspiracy by Goldman Sachs?”

"Sister Xin, do you think it can be done with Goldman Sachs alone?"

"Luxian!"

"I didn't say anything."

"Then let's take a trip into the muddy waters of Dubai, will we..."

"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to provide help in times of crisis. Dubai must be saved. If not, how can we establish cooperation? Without cooperation, how can Caifubao enter the Middle East? If we don't enter, how can Feigou expand its business?"

Lu Fei asked the stewardess to get a bottle of Coke, "What happened to John's two Dubai-focused funds?"

“5年期CDS合约目前涨了至171个基点,3年期的涨了266个基点,1年期……”

Xu Xin reported one by one that in addition to shorting the CDS of Dubai's debt, he also short-sold stocks such as HSBC, Barclays, and Dubai World involved in the debt in advance, and followed Goldman Sachs to make money.

"You see, wool comes from sheep, and we have to get it from Dubai and use it in the Middle East." Lu Fei grinned, "Sigh, there are not many kind-hearted capitalists like us."

Capitalists will have you tattooed on their backs, you little chicken!
Xu Xin rolled her eyes, "Fei, do you think Goldman Sachs will take advantage of this crisis to the detriment of Xiangjiang?"

"Goldman Sachs dared to play in Southeast Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Xiangjiang is different. The last defense of Xiangjiang made Wall Street dare not make a decision easily, but the impact will definitely be affected."

Lu Fei smiled and said: "We have to hurry up and get to Xiangjiang. Hong Kong residents really need me and Feigou.com now!"

As soon as the words come out, the law follows.

The Dubai debt crisis has caused shocks in global stock markets. The Hong Kong stock market has turned red and blood has flowed. The Hang Seng Index has plummeted by more than [-] points in a single day.

Black Monday, tragedy abounds.

The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the private plane landed late at Xiangjiang International Airport. On the apron, Xu Lei, Liu Edong and others were already lined up in order, holding long banners, and the strong wind was blowing.

"Mr. Lu, you're here! It's chaos, it's all chaos!"

Seeing Lu Fei walking down the boarding stairs, Liu Edong came up to greet him.

"Don't worry, speak slowly, the sky won't fall down."

Lu Fei patted his shoulder and comforted him.

"Isn't it a debt crisis in Dubai? It has made people in Hong Kong panic. People from the Department of Finance, the Monetary Authority and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange want to see you immediately. I hope we can cooperate in releasing some good news to stabilize investors and the stock market. , stabilize people’s hearts.”

Xu Lei led him to the parking spot.

"Of course we have to cooperate, but we also need to take this opportunity to talk about cooperation, such as payment."

The corner of Lu Fei's mouth curled up.

If Feigou.com wants to be a global cross-border e-commerce company, it must first achieve global payment and logistics.

Logistics is already in progress, and for payment, MoneyGram is not enough. We also need to win over the Middle East, Switzerland, and Hong Kong one by one...

Especially Xiangjiang, as a bridge connecting the country and the world, is a "bridgehead" that must be secured if we want to go abroad better.

"Mr. Lu, the current situation of the development of Caifubao in Xiangjiang is not optimistic. The biggest problem before us is this." Liu Edong handed over an "Octopus" and said seriously: "This is equivalent to the first in Xiangjiang." Two ID cards."

"Is there any possibility of cooperation?"

Lu Fei flipped through the "Octopus" which was similar to a credit card.

"The largest shareholder of Octopus is Heung Kong Metro, and the second shareholder is Heung Kong Railway, which can basically be regarded as a state-owned enterprise. If Caifubao wants to cooperate with it, it is inevitable to establish a joint venture. Here, we need the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Heung Kong Bank..."

Xu Lei and others talked about cooperation plans and difficulties.

"What about competition? What's the difficulty?"

Lu Fei boarded the commercial vehicle.

"The first is the scene. Electronic payment is mainly an online shopping scene, and Octopus has penetrated into almost every aspect of Hong Kong."

Liu Weidong emphasized: "Especially the scenes of life."

"I'm afraid we have to wait until QR codes are popularized and mobile electronic payments are implemented before we can compete with Octopus."

Lu Fei touched his chin.

"That involves usage habits. Compared with Caifubao QR code, Octopus does not have any learning costs."

Xu Lei frowned and said, "After all, we can't count on shopkeepers who are accustomed to using Octopus. We need customers to learn it."

"The issue of usage habits, in the final analysis, is still a matter of usage scenarios. Only when mobile payment scenarios cover more scenarios can online payment replace Octopus."

Lu Fei concluded: "What suggestions do you have?"

Liu Edong cleared his throat, "What do you think if we can cooperate with Li Jiacheng and use the resources of CK Hutchison as a breakthrough for Caifubao to enter the mobile payment market in Hong Kong?"

"This idea seems feasible. The food, clothing, housing and transportation of Xiangjiang people all have the influence of the Li family."

Xu Lei and others' eyes lit up, and they all looked at Lu Fei.

"emm..."

Lu Fei took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and pondered silently.

Li Jiacheng's CK Hutchison Holdings has more than 600 stores, and its business covers real estate, electricity, tap water, communications, food, electrical appliances, beauty, retail and other aspects, such as Fortress Electric, Watsons, and PARKnSHOP supermarkets.

He put the cigarette in his mouth and said, "Cooperating with CK Hutchison is indeed a good plan. Now there are two ways before us, either a joint venture with Octopus or a joint venture with the Li family."

"In terms of difficulty, CK Hutchison will be easier. Although, ahem, you and Li Zekai have a bit of a misunderstanding, but Li Jiacheng is a typical businessman and will definitely not care about these things."

Xu Lei took out his lighter and handed over the invitation letter.

"what is this?"

Lu Fei put the cigarette close to the fire and took a puff.

"The invitation letter to the evening party of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce specifically invites us, or to be precise, you. The scale is not small this time. People from the four major families in Hong Kong and the gambling king family will attend."

Xu Lei raised the corner of his mouth, "Maybe Li Zekai is here too."

"interesting."

Lu Fei opened the car window, "I'll think about the cooperation again, and go to the hotel to rest first." Looking at the dark sky, the storm was about to come, "Don't the people from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange want to see us right away?"

"See!!"

As he spoke, lightning flashed, thunder rumbled.

"Lu Gushen has arrived in Hong Kong!"

"Feigou.com CEO Liu Eodong said that it is determined to start a pre-listing road show in Hong Kong next week and will seek to raise funds for listing on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange ranging from 460 billion to 500 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is approximately 56.86 billion to 61.80 billion U.S. dollars."

"Feigou.com is expected to become the world's largest new stock this year, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange may use this to rank second in the global IPO fundraising list in 2009, second only to the New York Stock Exchange."

"The stock god has arrived and Hong Kong stocks are picking up!"

“According to the Wall Street Journal, Feigou.com’s Double Eleven sales exceeded US$77 billion, which shocked China, Asia, and the world. Calculated based on the midpoint of the price range, assuming full equity dilution and assuming the underwriters exercise With the option to increase sales, the market valuation of Feigou.com may be around US$550 billion, which is expected to become the largest financing scale in the history of Hong Kong and even the largest IPO in the global capital market."

"........."

When Lu Fei "accidentally" appeared in the hotel, both serious media and unscrupulous paparazzi rushed to the hotel. Phoenix, TVB, ATV and other TV stations rushed to report first, as if they were using the mainland stock gods to offset the crisis in Dubai. Influence.

"Boss, have you made a mistake? Is it more appropriate for you to go to the General Chamber of Commerce dinner?"

Li Zekai's tone was full of resistance.

"What I want is for both of us to go!"

Li Zeju adjusted his glasses.

"Boss, just go and I'll..."

Li Zekai smacked his lips.

"Do you not want to go, or do you not want to see Lu Sheng?"

Li Zeju was sitting on the sofa, his cloudy eyes shining.

Li Zekai was stared at and immediately became speechless.

The thing I regret most in my life is that Lu Fei took advantage of the situation and sold him 20% of Penguin's shares at a low price. I never expected that Penguin's market value would be second only to Google and Amazon on the Internet, at US$506 billion. .

And I am still heavily in debt, and it will take three to four years at the earliest to pay off the debt. If Penguin shares are still there...

God damn Lu Fei!
Not only did they defraud me of my money, but they also made me a laughing stock among Hong Kong’s wealthy circles, and I was whipped almost every year.

And this bastard’s net worth exceeds theirs!

"My dear, the feud between you and Lu Sheng has been going on for so many years. Forget it, my father often teaches us that businessmen must behave like businessmen. All investments are considered from an economic point of view, not from a financial perspective. 'Morality' is not 'gratitude' either."

Li Zeju patted his younger brother on the shoulder: "The overall situation is the most important thing."

"I have endured not dealing with him all these years, it's enough that the overall situation is more important!" Li Zekai clenched his fists tightly.

"It's up to you? Can you handle it?"

There was a disdainful sneer on Li Zeju's lips, "To be able to fight to this point at this age, ask yourself, can we do it?"

"........."

Li Zekai was speechless for a moment and fell into silence.

Li Zeju squinted his eyes, "Dou asked me to tell you, don't feel that you are at a loss if you lose Penguin's stock, but you have formed a bond because of this."

"Haha, bad fate?"

Li Zekai roared in his heart, that's 101 billion US dollars!

Enough to put him on the list of the top 30 richest people in the world!

This kind of "blessing" is given to you, do you want it?
"You, you, may seem to be at a disadvantage in the short term, but you can do business with him more easily than others." Li Zeju glanced at him. "Sister, there are many places in the future. We can cooperate with him, such as investment, entertainment, especially communication. If Logic cooperates with our Xiangjiang Telecom and Hutchison Pacific..."

"I know, boss, I'm going!"

Staring at the TV, Li Zekai saw the high-spirited Lu Fei in the picture, with a gloomy expression and gritted teeth.

Lu Fei, you're a street kid, I'm going to beat you up!
At this moment, outside the house, there was a thunderstorm and strong wind. (End of chapter)
