The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 300 I am Mission Impossible, I am 007

  Although both Ma Jiarui and Ren Ruowei expressed enough optimism about the Hang Seng Index the next day, unfortunately, the performance of the Hang Seng Index today does not depend on the reaction of other markets to "Black Monday". To be precise, "Black Monday" only induced investors to panic about Hong Kong stocks, and the more serious ones are yet to come.

On October 21st, before the Hong Kong stock market opened, many fund managers received reminders from brokerage firms. The content was roughly an assessment of the analysis of the strategy report some time ago. The next step is that due to the current uncertain currency situation in Southeast Asia, the international hot money shorting currencies shows no signs of retreating. It is recommended that fund managers wait and see, not to easily increase their positions, and even reduce their positions appropriately.

  Sure enough, at the beginning of the trading hours of the day, most currencies in the Asia-Pacific region continued to slump. The South Korean won and the New Taiwan dollar fell again after hitting new lows the day before, while the currencies of the Four Tigers countries such as Thailand and the Philippines also showed weakness. Under such circumstances, the good news from the United States has naturally come to naught, and the Hang Seng Index continued to fall.

The Hang Seng Index opened at 13,052 points, slightly higher than the previous trading day. This is the market's positive response to the "Black Monday", but it is a pity that this opening point is the highest point of the day. Turn your head down and start falling all the way. There is a huge difference in power between the long and short sides. The bulls can only choose to support at a low level. It once fell to 12353 points in the intraday session. However, the bulls began to make efforts to increase their positions and buy stocks, which made the index rise for a while. Finally, the two sides launched a fierce confrontation at 12400 points , As a result, the bulls barely stood at the integer mark of 12400, and the whole day index finally closed at 12403 points. The Hang Seng Index fell more than 567 points on this day, a drop of 4.38%.

  …

   "What... what's going on?" When the index fell by more than 12,500 points, Ren Ruowei's eyes turned red.

  In his psychological expectation, 12,000 to 13,000 points is a reasonable range, that is, when Hong Kong stocks fall to this position, it can come to an end. But obviously, there is no limit to the decline of Hong Kong stocks, and the decline of this day almost fell below 12,000 points. Although in terms of index futures, quite a few short positions covered their positions and left the market with profits, giving support to the long side, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this kind of selling is not something that can be determined by the index futures, it is obvious that the spot market has appeared panic.

  The current market has exceeded his cognition, so he grabbed Ma Jiarui's collar in a gaffe, and asked with a grim face: "Chris, what's going on, can you explain it to me?"

"I?"

  Ma Jiarui also had red eyes, and his hair was messed up and fluffy like a bird's nest. Both of them didn't sleep all night. Although Ren Ruowei held him tightly by the neck at this time, Ma Jiarui was not annoyed at all, and laughed at himself with a slightly wry smile: "Dude, who do I ask if you ask me? Now the Hang Seng market can no longer be explained by economic theory." If you have to explain it, it can only be said that the currency situation in the entire region is not good, which just caused panic in the market.”

   Seeing that Ma Jiarui couldn't speak clearly, Ren Ruowei let go of his hand and said helplessly, "Hey, I'm planning to cover some high positions in the Hang Seng Index today. It seems like it's gone now?"

"what?"

  As soon as Ma Jiarui heard that the position was covered, Ma Jiarui's expression became a little strange. After a long while, he said: "You actually placed long orders? You actually placed long orders? My God, are you impatient?"

   "Yes, he is indeed impatient, if he still borrows money." While the two were talking, Zhong Shi walked in with a refreshed look on his face.

He returned to his home in Repulse Bay around five o'clock in the middle of the night, took a quick eight-hour sleep, then took a swim around two o'clock in the afternoon, and then had "breakfast", arriving here just in time for the market to close .

As soon as he entered the door, he saw the two capable generals under him arguing about something red-faced, but before he came to the front, he found that the two of them had changed their faces again, and they were talking about "long positions" or something .

   This is an opportunity for Zhong Shi to instruct his subordinates to earn benefits, but when Zhong Shi heard that Ren Ruowei had boldly placed a long position, he knew his little thoughts. Obviously, this Mr. Ren is too greedy. Even under the premise that he may make profits through short positions in the early stage, he changed his strategy today to catch a rebound, but ended up trapping himself in it.

"Let me tell you two, you are not young anymore, you should take good care of your body. Now, go to rest as soon as possible. Well, but before you leave, don't forget to notify your broker and close your long positions as soon as possible. Thinking of the time when the gate of the Tianyu Fund was splashed with red paint." Zhong Shi looked at the dejected two people, smiled slightly, and teased teasingly.

  Splashing red paint is a way of debt collection, because Hong Kong has a well-developed financial market, and loans whose interest rates do not exceed a certain range of the benchmark interest rate are also protected by law, that is, certain usury is legal. Some people or institutions that cannot borrow through banks will use these banks to raise funds, and naturally a corresponding debt collection industry has emerged. The better means for these debt collectors is to splash red paint on the door, beat people, etc. What is illegal is to intimidate, kidnap or even physically harm the debtor.

  Hearing what Zhong Shi said, Ren Ruowei's old face blushed, and he said in an embarrassing way: "Zhong Sheng, all of them are from their own funds, and they didn't add leverage."

  Zhong Shi smiled, said nothing more, and strode towards his office.

   Although Ma and Ren wanted to ask Zhong Shi what was the reason for today's decline, but Zhong Shi didn't even see the trading board, so naturally it was impossible to say that he was ugly. Thinking of this, the two sighed in unison, then shook their heads and walked outside together.

  When they got downstairs, the two of them felt weak and weak. They didn't even have the strength to move their fingers. Naturally, they didn't have the desire to drive. Ren Ruowei waved his hand, called a taxi, and was about to invite Ma Jiarui to ride with him. He still had something to say to Ma Jiarui. But at this moment, when Ma Jiarui's phone rang suddenly, Ma Jiarui waved his hand, signaling Ren Ruowei to go first.

   "Zhong Sheng, is that you?" Seeing that Ren Ruowei's car had gone far away, Ma Jiarui picked up the phone and said cautiously.

  Zhong Shi gave a "hmm" and asked, "Are you alone now? Is it convenient for Fang to talk?"

   Ma Jiarui's face suddenly became serious, he walked two steps quickly, found a quiet corner, and then replied, "It's easier to talk now, Zhong Sheng, is there anything I need to do?"

  At this time, he already regarded himself as Zhong Shi's confidant, and he naturally thought that what Zhong Shi arranged for him to do at this time must be a private matter, or something that should not be seen. You must know that this kind of thing is very common in the financial industry. For example, if you get news before a certain company reorganizes, let your subordinates sneak into it in advance, and earn a lot of insider trading when the news is released.

  Naturally, at the level of Zhongshi, there is no need to operate it personally. As long as there is a message or a hint in the eyes, there will naturally be a lot of people under him to complete it. There is no other reason, because the cost of crime is too low. secret deal? It's just a fine, Zhongshi has more money!

"..." Zhong Shi on the other end of the phone was speechless for a while. After a long time, he said "hi" and said, "Old Ma, where are you going? Of course I won't let you do things that violate discipline. Now let you What you are doing is a good thing, a huge good thing, which benefits the country and the people. How about it, do you want to do it?"

  How could it be possible for Zhong Shi to do those insider transactions that lowered his status? To put it bluntly, the ever-fluctuating market is like gold everywhere for him. If there is no huge revenge, he can put money into American hedge funds, let professionals help him operate, and the rest is to lie down. Count the money.

  After Ma Jiarui heard Zhong Shi's words, he felt a lot more relaxed at first, and then his heart beat violently again: Good thing? Benefit the country and the people? That is beneficial to Hong Kong, but what is it that makes Zhong Shi say such a thing? For a moment he fell into deep thought, and even forgot to reply Zhong Shi's words.

"Hello... hello..." If it wasn't for the fact that the phone was still on the phone, Zhong Shi would have suspected that Ma Jiarui had hung up the phone. He called several times before pulling Ma Jiarui back from his contemplative state. After saying "do", Zhong Shi lowered his voice and said, "If I guess correctly, the attack of international hot money on the Hong Kong dollar will start in these two days. What you need to do now is to remind the Monetary Authority and the Financial Secretary , let them prepare early."

"What? Attacking the Hong Kong dollar?" After hearing these words, Ma Jiarui's head went blank, and he didn't even listen to what Zhong Shi said, "This... How is this possible? Hong Kong's economy is not There is a problem, how could..."

  Although he had been mentally prepared for a long time, Ma Jiarui was still at a loss when this moment came. He was stunned for half a minute in the bustling crowd before he managed to recover. At this time, he was already sweating profusely, and even his back was completely wet.

   "Zhong Sheng, what do we need to do?" Ma Jiarui, who came to his senses, suddenly remembered what Zhong Shi seemed to have said, and hurriedly asked.

"us?"

Zhong Shi laughed, and said with a smile: "We are not doing anything. We are just reminding the Hong Kong government to make preparations. This matter should not trouble you. If the Hong Kong government can solve this crisis Among them, you have successfully defended the Hong Kong dollar, you are the number one hero!"

   "The number one hero?" The word undoubtedly stimulated Ma Jiarui, making his terrified heart calm down at first, and then become extremely hot again. At this time, he suddenly remembered a movie, which was just released last year, starring Tom Cruise. The actor Ethan Hunt wanders in the underground world, facing the hail of bullets without fear, and defeats one after another. The conspiracy successfully maintained the peace of the world.

   Uh, I'm Ethan Hunt! No, it's Ethan Hunt from Hong Kong! James Bond in Hong Kong!

  Ma Jiarui thought with pride.
