Hong Kong's new giants

Chapter 618 [Hold 10000 Points]

On Saturday evening, Barings Bank and Peregrine jointly released the news: Barings Bank injected 3 million US dollars and acquired 51% of Peregrine's equity.

As soon as the news came out, Hong Kong and Kowloon were shocked.

Many people know that it is only a matter of time before Peregrine goes bankrupt. They did not expect that Barings Bank would intervene at the last minute; you must know that Zurich Group hesitated for two months and gave up at the last minute; The courage to announce the capital injection of Peregrine is simply invincible.

Of course, some people also thought that Liang Botao was known as Lin Zuhui's "consultant". Maybe it was because of the relationship between the two that Barings Bank intervened in this matter at the last minute.

And Barings Bank itself is also news. The bankruptcy news three years ago is still a negative teaching material for major financial institutions in the world.But in the three years since Octopus Financial Group took over, Barings Bank once again became the limelight of the world's financial institutions, gaining nearly 10 billion US dollars in the Nikkei Futures Index.

Wherever you fall, you will climb up. This is the impression of Barings Bank.

The impact of this news is not limited to this, and many people have regained some confidence in the stock market on Monday; after all, Lin Zuhui is behind the Barings Bank. I have a certain degree of confidence in the defense of the Hang Seng Index at 10000 points.

Sunday.

Soros' assistant walked into his office to inform Xiangjiang of the news.

"What does Lin Zuhui mean? As far as we know, he cashed out a large amount of stock trading funds at the peak last year. Logically speaking, he should be happy for the Hong Kong stock market to crash, so that he can buy bottoms! Looking at it now, he is always at the key Always guard the Hang Seng Index." Soros whispered.

The assistant thought for a while and said: "Based on the current situation, maybe he just wants to protect his one-acre three-point land. For example, last time it was for his five listed companies; but this time, he took the opportunity to annex a hundred Plus, he has a very good personal relationship with the boss of Peregrine. Therefore, he did not directly participate in it. After all, as a shrewd businessman, he is also waiting for the Xiangjiang stock market to plummet to a certain level, and then buy the bottom."

From the perspective 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.

Soros nodded and said with satisfaction: "Your analysis is very reasonable. From this point of view, Lin Zuhui is not an opponent, he just wants to fish in troubled waters. Tomorrow will follow the plan, and this time we must break through 10000 points. Now, the four little dragons Only Xiangjiang is left, 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 Xiangjiang.

The assistant said: "Okay, I'll go get in touch, everyone will work together tomorrow!"

Peregrine Corporation.

Lin Zuhui brought the president of Barings Bank, Andre, and the four directors stationed in Peregrine to the conference room of Peregrine, and held a meeting of the Peregrine board of directors.

The first thing, Lin Zuhui unceremoniously dismissed the four directors headed by Du Huilian.

Du Huilian looked at his old partner Liang Botao in a complicated way, because when the two sides negotiated the terms, they didn't 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 his relationship with 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 pursue the legal responsibilities of the four of you. At that time, there will be no place for you to stand in the Xiangjiang business community. Therefore, we are only releasing Your board of directors has already exhausted your benevolence."

In fact, after the follow-up examination revealed specific evidence of Du Huilian's dereliction of duty by the four directors, a public bombardment was indispensable.At that time, the four of them will also become a joke in the Hong Kong business community.

Du Huilian is responsible for more than half of Peregrine's current situation, because Liang Botao is responsible for the listing of mainland companies in Hong Kong and Hong Kong's local business, while Du Huilian is the "king" of Southeast Asia. some losses), Du Huilian is the culprit.

Liang Potao cannot be said to have no responsibility, he is the chairman of the board of directors of Peregrine after all.Therefore, Liang Botao is also a 'sinner', and Lin Zuhui dared to use this kind of aggressive talent because all his subordinates were acting in line with Lin Zuhui's general policy, and there was no chance to advance aggressively.

Du Huilian originally wanted to quibble, but he found that under Lin Zuhui's majesty, he could not summon up the courage at all.Losers, where does the courage come from?
After the four people left the meeting room, Lin Zuhui announced: "Bahrain Bank will appoint four directors, and Peregrine will continue to be led by Mr. Liang Botao."

The other directors applauded sincerely, because the settlement of Barings Bank represented the improvement of Peregrine's situation.You know, Lin Zuhui is an expert in "turning waste into treasure". From China Commercial Bank to Barings Bank, it's not that after bankruptcy, it was revived under Lin Zuhui's hands.

If Peregrine is saved, it means that the directors who hold the shares are saved. Once they go bankrupt, they will get nothing at all.

Then, Lin Zuhui arranged: "The first thing: the entire Asian economy will deteriorate this year. What should Peregrine do, you should think about it yourself.

"Second thing: After tomorrow's decisive battle, the Hang Seng Index will usher in a wave of "Xiaoyangchun" technical rebound. Peregrine is going to sell the shares of Guangsheng Bank to my LEIT Group, so that we can truly alleviate the crisis. Fortune's crisis."

Kwong Sang Hong owns many cosmetics brands, such as 'Shuangzhu', 'Liushen' and 'Yashuang' which were popular in Shanghai at that time, although the mainland also has a brand right; however, the brand rights of mainland companies cannot be released Mainland, because the world only recognizes the brand rights of Heung Kong Company.

Just like Wang Laoji in the previous life, his descendants registered trademarks all over the world, and Cantonese medicine could not be exported at all.After all, one is forcible confiscation and the other is family inheritance.

Next, everyone expressed their opinions, of course, they all expressed their views on Lin Zuhui's framework.

Liang Botao said: "In this way, there will be more than 5 million cash flow, and we can keep some beneficial bonds to avoid excessive losses. At the same time, the business channels in Southeast Asia must be temporarily preserved."

Andre nodded and echoed: "As long as it is an investment banking business channel, it is the cornerstone of future development and cannot be cut off."

Once you have enough capital, you can keep some of your assets and business.Barings sends four directors to review these.

Of course, Peregrine will still be privatized, but the time is not yet available; after the privatization, Barings Bank will arrange for Liang Botao to be the vice president of Barings Bank, and be responsible for the Asian business of the two companies.

Barings Bank spent 15 million U.S. dollars for the stake in Peregrine this time, but in the account of Bahrain Bank, it was more than [-] billion U.S. dollars, which did not affect the company.On the contrary, after absorbing Peregrine, Barings Bank has become a world-class investment bank.

In the future, Barings Bank will become an important weapon in the hands of Lin Zuhui.

The next day, another battle broke out in the Xiangjiang stock market - international speculators VS mysterious opponents.

International speculators sold a large number of shorts, intending to break through 10000 points. This is something that many investors understand.

The hall of a securities company.

"It's too bad, it's already fallen below 10200 points, and 10000 points can't be kept!"

"Not necessarily, it's already afternoon. Today, the stock market has performed very well due to the news of 'Bahrain Bank taking over Peregrine'!"

"No, it's easy to panic selling in the late trading, and it's not easy to keep 10000 points!"

Investors anxiously looked at the electronic display screen, and cursed the old mother of international speculators.

Suddenly someone said: "Look, there seems to be a lot of buy orders at 10200 points, which have been pegged here for a long time!"

All of a sudden, everyone discovered this abnormality one after another. At this time, international speculators must be selling a lot of shorts. After all, their goal is to urgently reach 10000 points.But this is not the case at this time. As soon as the Hang Seng Index breaks through 10200 points, it will quickly pull back above 10200 points.

"There is a lot of money buying the bottom!"

"Yes, is there a technical rebound!"

"Under this kind of market, we must seize the technical rebound and then make a profit!"

For a while, many veteran stock speculators began to buy the bottom one after another.

At this time, international speculators also discovered that a large amount of funds were released at 10200 points, and the appearance of about 20 billion funds in an hour really surprised everyone.

Everyone tried to attack several times, but found it was futile. This force didn't seem to be 'sloppy' at all.Later, a large amount of funds were added, and the Hang Seng Index actually started to rebound.

In the end, it was already 10500 points at the close, much higher than the expectations of international speculators.

"Who is it?" All international speculators are asking.

Quantum Fund.

Soros' assistant immediately informed him of the situation.

"It seems that the guy is buying the bottom, I'm sure." Soros smiled.

The assistant asked: "The boss doesn't seem to have any regrets?"

Soros said: "Why am I regretful? You must know that we have sniped the Hang Seng Index by 1700 points this time, from 12250 points to 10500 points. Didn't we make a profit?"

The assistant was stunned, and immediately smiled and said: "Yes, we made a profit again, of course we won. Once again, the Hang Seng Index will definitely break through 10000 points!"

Soros said confidently: "Next time, see you at 4000 points. We will make the Hang Seng Index only 25% of its peak value. But for the next decisive battle, we will prepare for a while. These two times were a bit rushed, so it was just a trial."

The assistant said in admiration: "Yes, Xiangjiang has become our cash machine, and Xiangjiang investors are already afraid of us. Being timid without fighting is their biggest loophole."

For Lin Zuhui's behavior, Soros felt that he had guessed his mind, that is to take advantage of the low price, the essence is for his own benefit, not to save the market.

Both sides are thinking, Soros is speculating on Lin Zuhui, why isn't Lin Zuhui scheming international speculators.

Both times he was careful not to appear to have a lot of money.

His real purpose is to cooperate with the decisive battle between the HKMA and international speculators, and force the Hang Seng Index to go up.At that time, nearly 600 billion funds will be a huge force.

Of course, after the attack in January, Xiangjiang's economy was hit again.After all, the HKMA raised bank interest rates and peer-to-peer interest rates, causing real estate and the economy to fall again.
