Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 453 A piece of news!
Silent all night!
The next morning, Li Yi woke up in a comfortable and soft bed!
After a simple shower, he got dressed and came to the living room.

Lan Xinyi and others have already gotten up and are anxiously waiting for Li Yi in the living room.

Since they have been completely out of contact with the outside world since yesterday afternoon, they have no idea whether the Hang Seng Index has risen or fallen, so everyone looks very anxious.

Seeing Li Yi coming down from upstairs, everyone stood up immediately, and everyone's eyes focused on him.

"Morning, everyone!"

Hearing Li Yi's words, everyone including Lan Xinyi felt speechless.

It's already 08:30, so early.

Especially for those who work in financial services, time is money.

On normal trading days, they rush to the exchange early in the morning and continuously collect various information, which is the basis for their investment decisions.

Therefore, although the stock exchange opens at 09:30, most people actually have to rush to the company at seven o'clock.

All in all, it’s a great roll!
"Li Sheng, should we leave for the company now?" Lan Xinyi asked.

"Don't be anxious. Those who work in finance must first keep calm!"

Then, Li Yi said to Tie Ying on the side: "Let me buy some newspapers and come back!"

Tie Ying knew that Li Yi was a friend invited by the boss from the mainland, so he said directly: "There are "Oriental Daily", "Sing Tao Daily" and "South China Daily", etc., which one do you want?"

"No matter what newspaper it is, get a copy!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that Li Yi actually asked his subordinates to buy newspapers, Lan Xinyi and others felt thunderous.

In finance, you need to be able to keep your composure, but you are not like this.

By the time those people bought the newspaper and he finished reading it, the exchange would have already opened.

As traders and operators, they have not even collected any information. What should they do next?

But Li Yi remained calm and calm. Not only was he not in a hurry, he even had someone prepare breakfast for everyone.

Then he ate breakfast slowly while waiting for Tie Ying's people to come back.

Li Yi had just finished breakfast here when Ma Zai, whom Tie Ying sent out to buy newspapers, came back with a thick stack of newspapers in his hand.

"Li Sheng, the newspaper you want!"

"Thank you!"

After saying that, Li Yi took the newspaper and read it amid the anxious expressions of Lan Xinyi and others!

It's just that when Li Yi got the vertically arranged newspaper, he was somewhat uncomfortable.

More importantly, the first thing he saw after opening the newspaper was not what he wanted, but a gossip report. The content of the report was the rather explosive Windsor Mansion Fox Fairy Murder Case.

Scroll down further and it's all celebrity gossip. Only then did Li Yi notice that what he was reading was actually a local gossip tabloid.

Shaking his head and throwing this useless gossip paper aside, Li Yi read other newspapers again.

Good guy, most of the more than ten newspapers are tabloids.

Fortunately, that Ma Zai was not stupid, and he also bought many of Hong Kong's major mainstream newspapers.

Picking up the famous "Oriental Daily" on Hong Kong Island, Li Yi quickly found the news he wanted: "The Banking Association announced that the interest rate on savings deposits will be increased from 7% to 21% on July 11." Then Li Yi added I also saw the same news in Sing Tao Daily and South China Daily.

After reading it, he felt confident!

Everything was just as he remembered, and nothing had changed because of his appearance.

"Li Sheng, the stock exchange has opened. Should we go there?" Lan Xinyi asked again.

Li Yi smiled and said, "What were you doing in the past?"

"Uh"

Lan Xinyi and others were confused again. Boss, yesterday you invested 4200 million in the stock market. No, it should be [-] million!
And what I’m buying is the Hang Seng Futures Index. Shouldn’t I go and take a look?

Just when Lan Xinyi and others were speechless, Li Yi handed her the newspaper in his hand and said at the same time: "Let's take a look!"

With a trace of doubt, Lan Xinyi took the newspaper from Li Yi's hand.

When she saw the news, she was stunned for a moment.

Has the bank raised interest rates?
As a professional trader, Lan Xinyi is very aware of the impact of bank interest rate hikes on the stock market.

Once the bank raises interest rates, the interest on deposits will be higher, and naturally fewer people will be willing to invest in the stock market.

More importantly, major companies are currently borrowing money to do business, especially for real estate speculation. When banks raise interest rates, it will have a huge impact on the property market.

Under such circumstances, it is inevitable that the stock market will fall, but we just don’t know how much it will fall.

At this time, Lan Xinyi's eyes changed when she looked at Li Yi.

No wonder this man dared to short the Hang Seng Index with a heavy position of 5 times leverage. It turned out that he didn't understand, but had a unique vision.

"Li Sheng, the bank's interest rate hike is likely to cause the Hang Seng Index to fall. Should we keep an eye on it? If the price is right, we can place an order to sell it directly?"

Li Yi said lightly: "No, let the bullets fly for a while!"

After saying that, he stopped talking to Lan Xinyi and others and went back upstairs without looking back, leaving Lan Xinyi and others looking at each other on the first floor.

No one knows how to evaluate Li Yi. This is too much!
What you are playing is a futures index. This thing does not require long-term holding like stocks. This thing rises and falls in minutes.

It may be at a high point now, but it will be at a low point in 10 minutes, and then it will be back to the high point in an hour.

Making money depends on short-term fluctuations, not long-term holdings!

But Li Yi didn't care at all what they thought, and didn't even have the patience to listen to their suggestions. He just left like this. Everyone was completely speechless.

But is Li Yi really a top student?
Of course not. Li Yi knows better than anyone the causes and consequences of the stock market crash in Hong Kong Island. The current stock market in Hong Kong Island is exactly the same as what it was ten years later. The boom in high market value is all based on the real estate bubble. of.

Due to the promising prospects, land prices on Hong Kong Island have been rising steadily, triggering numerous consortiums to compete for listed companies holding land.

At the same time, there is also a frenzy of property speculation in the market. According to subsequent calculations, the current housing price has a housing affordability ratio of as high as 180%. In other words, it requires nearly double the income to pay for the housing.

This interest rate hike does not seem to be very large, with only an increase of 1%, but it is the straw that breaks the camel's back.

It directly caused the already overwhelmed property market bubble to burst, so on the morning of July 7, the Hang Seng Index also began to fall.

The most important thing is that this kind of decline is not the usual ups and downs, but a violent vent all the way to the end!
Therefore, before the first big rebound of the Hang Seng Index, Li Yi did not need to pay attention to changes in the stock market at all times!
