Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 892 Buyer Bank
"Yes, 208, put it out, yes, that's right, eighteen dollars."

"Buy me 078, nine yuan and thirty cents? OK, buy all of them for me, immediately!"

"Yeah, Smith, I'm going to sell all the dollars in my hand and exchange them for pounds. Don't tell me you can't do this, or I'll find someone else next time, so hurry up."

In the spacious office, stockbrokers unbuttoned their shirt collars to relieve their busyness. They either took the phone to issue financial instructions one by one to complete a transaction, or wrote pictures in their notebooks. Painting, muttering words in his mouth about the prices of various stocks on the stock market.

There are two large blackboards on the other side of the office, which are filled with the stock numbers and price changes of each stock.

This office is the office of the "Zeus Fund", located on the 29th floor of a commercial building in downtown New York.Compared with those large-scale companies, the office of "Zeus Fund" is very cramped, just as big as the company selling kitchen and toilet utensils downstairs.

However, people outside, as well as all the companies in this building, do not know that the "Zeus Fund" is manipulating nearly one billion dollars in funds!
This week, under the command of Qin Haoran, the "Zeus Fund" used the [-] million US dollars in its hands to make a huge splash in the US and international financial markets, earning another [-] million US dollars in just a few days.

"Sir, 078 has really gone up. From the nine yuan and three cents we bought, it has risen to 11 yuan and eight cents!" A man with his sleeves rolled up and brown hair pushed open the door of the manager's office, excitedly. On the opposite side of Chong Chong, the oriental man who was flipping through the financial newspaper shouted.

This handsome young oriental man is obviously Qin Haoran. He put down the newspaper in his hand, looked up at the white man, frowned slightly, and said, "Douglas, how many times have I told you that you have to knock on the door before you come in?" , don’t you call yourself a gentleman? Why are you so rude?”

Douglas blushed and said, "I'm sorry, sir, I will remember it next time."

After apologizing, Douglas excitedly came across from Qin Haoran, opened the chair and sat down, then smiled at Qin Haoran: "Sir, your previous prediction was too accurate, 208 really fell, while 078 went up Quickly."

Qin Haoran rubbed his chin and said, "We can't hold on to 078 for that long, at most three days, and we will release it after three days."

Douglas nodded without hesitation. When he first came to work under Qin Haoran, Douglas still had many disagreements with Qin Haoran. For example, he himself predicted that a stock would fall, but Qin Haoran ordered "Zeus Fund" bought in bulk.Douglas originally wanted to see Qin Haoran's foolishness, so that Qin Haoran, the boss, would know that in the financial market, it is best to listen to the opinions of professionals like them.

However, the result was far beyond Douglas' expectations. The stock that Qin Haoran bought in a large amount later skyrocketed, with an increase of as much as 150%.Later, the stocks that Qin Haoran chose all went according to his prediction, which made the "Zeus Fund" earn a lot of profits, and also made Douglas and others get a lot of money.

Gradually, these arrogant experts, represented by Douglas, questioned Qin Haoran at the beginning, then admired Qin Haoran, and then worshiped Qin Haoran later.

Now, Douglas' admiration for Qin Haoran has slowly risen to the level of a belief.

People outside think that "Zeus Fund" is a company owned by local residents of the United States, but Douglas and the others know that the real brain of "Zeus Fund" is Qin Haoran. However, they will never reveal this secret, lest Qin Haoran's foreigner identity What unnecessary trouble for him.

On the one hand, it is true that Qin Haoran and Douglas have signed a confidentiality contract, and those who break the contract need to pay astronomical liquidated damages. On the other hand, it is precisely because these experts worship and even believe in Qin Haoran that they are willing To protect Qin Haoran's interests.

"How about the dollar, is it still depreciating?" Qin Haoran asked Douglas.

Douglas smiled and nodded: "Yeah, it's depreciating again. The poor government is still desperately maintaining the pegged exchange rate between the dollar and gold, but it's just increasing our chances of making money."

Qin Haoran didn't speak, but looked down to a piece of news in the newspaper - Elson Bank was facing bankruptcy due to the dollar crisis.

Elson Bank is a small-scale private bank in the United States, and its performance is quite satisfactory. Compared with other large banks in the United States that are called financial giants, Elson Bank is indeed not a strong opponent.

However, the potential of Elson Bank is actually not small. According to a related commentary article in "Wall Street", the main customers of Elson Bank are citizens of the low- and middle-income class. How much profit does Elson Bank bring, but because of Elson Bank's excellent service, these customers are very loyal to Elson Bank.

But now, because Elson Bank has made a wrong investment in US dollars, it has suffered huge losses in terms of funds, and has even threatened customers' deposits.

Seeing that Qin Haoran was paying attention to this news, Douglas smiled and said, "Sir, are you also reading this news? Elson Bank is about to go bankrupt, and their board of directors is even interested in filing for bankruptcy."

Qin Haoran frowned, and said, "How is the stock price of this Elson Bank?"

Douglas shrugged: "From the original twenty dollars to the current eleven dollars, I think it will fall again."

Qin Haoran rubbed his chin. In his "previous life", he had heard of this Elson Bank. As a bank that was not very strong, Elson Bank was one of the banks that went bankrupt due to the US dollar crisis in the 70s and [-]s. Banks can be regarded as victims of the dollar crisis.

However, Qin Haoran doesn't have a deep impression of this Elson Bank, he just remembers that it closed down in the 70s, but now it's a little earlier, and he doesn't know if it's the butterfly effect caused by himself.

After closing his eyes and pondering for a while, Qin Haoran asked Douglas: "Douglas, how much capital do you think I need at least if I want to obtain a controlling stake in Elson Bank?"

Douglas was surprised when he heard the words, and asked suspiciously: "Sir, are you going to buy this Elson Bank?"

"I just wanted to ask."

Douglas thought for a while, and then said: "Elson Bank's market value can reach up to 18 billion U.S. dollars, but according to the current decline, we only need [-] million U.S. dollars to recover its circulating stocks in the market." .”

"Elson Bank's tradable shares in the market account for about 40.00% of the total share value." Qin Haoran said, "If that's the case, I have to find their shareholders and persuade them to transfer their shares to me."

Douglas smiled: "Sir, those guys are afraid that they are not running fast enough. If someone wants to buy their shares, they will definitely be overjoyed. According to the current situation, their shares can't be sold at a good price. I It is estimated that with another 20.00 million US dollars, we can acquire 60.00% of the shares from those shareholders, so that we can hold [-]% of the shares of Elson Bank.”

After a pause, Douglas looked at Qin Haoran: "Sir, you don't really want to buy Elson Bank, do you? Deposits. If we acquire it, we have to make up for these losses, rebuild the trust of customers, and a series of other tasks to make it possible to operate."

"Of course, if you just want to do short-term business, sir, it's not impossible." Douglas said, "But this Elson Bank is half dead, and there is not much profit in short-term business."

Qin Haoran shook his head, and said again: "How much money can we call now?"

"The available funds are [-] million U.S. dollars." Douglas said: "Sir, you are not really going to buy Elson Bank, are you?"

Qin Haoran was noncommittal, and directly said to Douglas: "You find a way to cash out the other funds, anyway, I want to obtain the controlling stake in Elson Bank, if possible, you can help me buy back all the equity in the hands of their shareholders. "

"Sir, this..." Douglas didn't understand why Qin Haoran spent huge sums of money to acquire a semi-bankrupt bank that was worthless for short-term hype.

Qin Haoran waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me anything else, just do as I tell you."

In view of the admiration for Qin Haoran's insights, Douglas hesitated for a moment, then nodded.However, out of professional intuition, Douglas felt that Qin Haoran's acquisition of Elson Bank was not for short-term hype, but to implement some kind of investment plan.

But if Qin Haoran didn't say anything, he couldn't ask any more questions, as long as he followed Qin Haoran's instructions, he would be fine.

After Douglas went out, Qin Haoran crossed his fingers and supported his chin, and the gaze in his eyes suddenly became sharp.

It is true that Qin Haoran wanted to acquire this Elson Bank just to implement his plan on subprime loans.

In the United States, the financial regulatory system is much more complete than other places, but there are also many opportunities for speculation. For Qin Haoran, who dared to use financial transactions to launder money in the 21st century, the financial regulatory system of the 60s was nothing to him. Dispensable rules and regulations.

The customer base of Elson Bank is mainly low- and middle-income groups, which is exactly the target of Qin Haoran's subprime loans.
