The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 448 "Official" base war (7)

"yes!"

Zhong Shi naturally felt the same way, and couldn't help echoing, "We don't know how many chips the speculators still have. But judging from the market situation in the last fifteen minutes just now, it is obvious that they have kept their hands. There is still a lot left at this time, and we must be thinking about doing a lot in the market tomorrow, so we still have to make full preparations."

"According to my judgment, the speculators will sell at least twice as much chips as today, and they absolutely refuse to let themselves get caught up in it. If they really lose, they will At least tens of billions of real money will be spent in the futures index market, which will be a fatal blow to them. Moreover, they may have to pay a similar amount for the Hong Kong dollar position. Therefore, twice The scale of the funding is probably underestimated.”

"Hey, no matter how powerful they are, can they be more powerful than today?" Ren Ruowei on the side saw the two people worried, and felt a little disapproving in his heart. He clapped his hands and yelled, "Even if they are two times stronger than today times, three times, can we still eat it? I said Zhong Sheng, old horse, don’t be so sad. Instead of staring here now, it’s better to go to the market to borrow part of the funds and come back. It’s easy to do Get ready!"

   A word awakened the dreamer, Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui looked at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes. Yes, they were only thinking about how to deal with the attacks of the speculators, but they didn't think that they could also use leverage to defend.

  In the final analysis, this is also the result of Zhong Shi’s gradual change in his investment style. After experiencing the debt crisis in 1994 and the London copper boom, Zhong Shi’s investment style tends to be conservative, and he no longer uses leverage too much. Even this time for the speculation on Hong Kong stocks, Zhong Shi did not think of using a brokerage firm to raise funds, so the two fell into a misunderstanding of thinking for a while.

   But having said that, with hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars in funds, I am afraid that no brokerage house can raise a comparable amount of funds. Foreign banks may still be able to provide part of the funds, but now, the eight major foreign investment banks, including Stanley and Goodman, are singing empty words, and it is obviously impossible to provide them with funds.

   No matter how tight the time is and how difficult it is to raise funds, both Zhong Shi and Ma Jiarui will give it a try.

The two quickly ran into their respective offices and began to make phone calls frantically. First they were banks, then brokerage firms, and other wealthy businessman-level friends. At this moment, both of them had only one thought in their minds, that is, every possible financing channel Don't let it go.

  Originally, Zhongshi had an additional fund of nearly 5 billion US dollars, but this part of the fund is still invested in the U.S. treasury bond market. In fact, he is also selfish. If the Tianyu Fund really loses everything this time, he can still use this part of the funds to make a comeback.

  But Zhong Shi is also betting that the Hong Kong government and the central government will not let international speculators wreak havoc in Hong Kong. In fact, this is indeed the case. The two deputy governors from the Huaxia People's Bank of China and Huaxia Bank are already waiting in the Monetary Authority building, and they are followed by a fund of up to 10 billion US dollars, which is ready to rescue the market at any time.

   It is only due to the agreement reached by the Financial Secretary, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and Tianyu Fund that these funds have not been acted on. But they are also happy to be at ease, after all, not entering the field means no risk.

  At least so far, they are still very satisfied with Tianyu Fund's bailout work, otherwise Cen Yinquan's call would have reached Zhong Shi's office long ago.

   "Boss, there are a few guests outside who want to meet you. They say they are from Indonesia, and they have been waiting for an afternoon!"

While Zhong Shi was flipping through the phone book in a hurry, an employee in charge of reception, Tingting, walked to his office, knocked on the door twice, and said politely, "Look, are you Let's welcome them now?"

Like other funds, Tianyu Fund has also set up two reception ladies at the front desk. Their usual task is to receive those visiting guests. Since Tianyu Fund has gradually paid off the funds of external investors in recent years, the change It has become a closed fund that is only open to internal employees, so there are only a handful of clients who visit Tianyu Fund, and these two ladies are naturally happy to be idle, not to mention that their salaries are also very high.

Although they don't know exactly what the employees who are busy in front of the computer in the trading hall all day are doing, but from the atmosphere of being on the verge of an enemy and everyone's dignified expressions recently, they realize that it seems to be a very serious situation recently. At a critical time, when the Indonesian guests visited, I repeatedly apologized and led them to the reception room instead of disturbing Zhongshi rashly.

"Go! Go! Go!" Zhong Shi waved his hand impatiently, gesturing for her to leave quickly, "Didn't you see I'm busy? What? Indonesian guests? Let them wait, um...wait for another half an hour! "

  As soon as he heard that it was a guest from Indonesia, Zhong Shi couldn't help being taken aback, tilted his head and thought for a while, and finally decided to meet up.

After the front desk lady bent down and went out, Zhong Shi continued to make calls, but the result made him quite frustrated. Due to the urgent time, only a few banks with good relations with them were willing to lend them funds unconditionally, and the total amount was no more than Just a billion Hong Kong dollars. And this money is simply dispensable for the current Tianyu Fund.

  The economic sector is even worse. As market makers, they have hoarded a large number of stocks in the "dark pool", occupying a lot of liquidity. Zhong Shi asked several brokerage firms in a row, and the most among them could only borrow hundreds of millions of funds, while the least could only lend several million Hong Kong dollars.

This result is not unexpected by Zhong Shi. The bank has already fallen into a tight liquidity situation due to margin positions and borrowing by speculators. As soon as Zhong Shi opened his mouth, he said that he would borrow tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The mortgage is realized, but now there is only a short day, and even the formalities are too late to go through. As for brokerage firms, most of them can't have total assets exceeding tens of billions, and naturally it's even more impossible.

  As for wealthy businessmen, most of their wealth is in stocks. Most of them have plummeted due to the decline in stock prices, not to mention liquidity. Zhong Shi asked several people in a row, and the most he could only lend was hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and it was impossible for more.

   "I can only lend seven or eight billion yuan here, what about you?"

Half a day later, Ma Jiarui walked over from the next door, with a dejected look on his face, and reported his loan situation, and then asked Zhong Shi with a hopeful face, "Zhong Sheng, you know a lot of big men, can you help me?" Borrow more funds."

  Just the next moment, when he saw Zhong Shi with a wry smile on his face, the hope that had just risen in his heart was instantly shattered.

  At this time, Ren Ruowei also walked in, without saying a word, he just sat down on the sofa chair, and spread his hands, indicating that he was powerless.

   "Zhong Sheng, it's been a long time since I saw my old friend. Why are you so arrogant now that you want me to visit in person?"

Just when the three of them were speechless, the door of the office was pushed open, and a familiar voice sounded. When Zhong Shi looked up, Lin Shien's iconic red face appeared in front of Zhong Shi .

"Mr. Lin, is that you?" Zhong Shi quickly stood up, walked two steps to the door, stretched out his right hand and held each other tightly, "You are a guest from Indonesia? I really didn't expect it, it was really negligent! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

  The Indonesian Lin family is the third richest family among Chinese families. Its main business is concentrated in hotels, and its business is spread all over Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and other places. It is an out-and-out old rich family.

   Ma Jiarui and Ren Ruowei also stood up quickly. Although they didn't know each other's background, seeing Zhong Shi treating each other so solemnly, they knew that the other party's background must be something serious. The two greeted Lin Shien politely, and then quickly left the room.

   I haven't seen him for half a year, Lin Shien's face hasn't changed much, but the deliberately grown beard gave him a sense of vicissitudes. After exchanging pleasantries with Zhong Shi for a while, he said straight to the point: "Mr. Zhong, I took the liberty to come here this time because I want you to help us again!"

   "What?" Zhong Shi was horrified when he heard the words, and he cried out, "Could it be that something xenophobic happened in Indonesia again? Why haven't I received any news?"

In April and May, Zhong Shi went to Indonesia, and together with the then ambitious Vice President, Datuk Yusuf, pulled down Indonesian President Suharto, who was trying to create xenophobic turmoil, and avoided a horrific conspiracy . Although Zhong Shi, a foreigner, was not mentioned in all the news released afterwards, for the Lin family who knew many inside stories, they naturally knew the role Zhong Shi played in this bloodless coup. Clearly.

"No! No! No!" Lin Shien quickly denied, "Although there are xenophobic things, it is impossible to be as horrible as before. I came this time with the sustenance of the Indonesian Chinese, and hope that Mr. Zhong can Help us manage a sum of money."

   Immediately afterwards, he began to talk about the changes in the domestic situation in Indonesia after Zhong Shi left.

   It turned out that although Yusuf became the president of Indonesia as he wished, his political opponents did not give up their attacks on him, and Indonesia's poor economic situation also created enough ammunition for them. Months of criticism have left Yusuf's new government in disarray, and they are simply helpless in the face of a desperate situation. After several economic stimulus policies failed one after another, Yusuf, who had only been president for a few months, had to reach an agreement with his opponents to step down from the presidency in the next few months, and then in the next few months. Real elections across the country.

  The capital that cannot see Indonesia's economic recovery in the short term begins to look for new investment areas. It was at this time that Zhong Shi came into the sight of Indonesian Chinese businessmen. Firstly, what he did made these people admire him very much. Second, after a rough investigation, they determined that Zhong Shi was a talent in asset management. Lin Shien's trip to Hong Kong this time.

"It's not impossible!" Zhong Shi pondered for a while, and then showed embarrassment, "I believe you have heard that the current Hong Kong market is full of turmoil, and it is not certain who will win. To tell you the truth, I am now deeply Participating in it, betting that the Hong Kong government will win. If you win, the future benefits will be immeasurable, and if you lose, I am afraid that you will recover in the next few years. By the way, how much did you prepare for this time? funds?"

   "3 billion U.S. dollars, all of which have been converted into Hong Kong dollars!"

   Lin Shien naturally heard about the current situation of the Hong Kong stock market, and he immediately hesitated. After all, not all the money belongs to him. However, after seeing Zhong Shi's half-smile expression, he realized something again, gritted his teeth suddenly, slapped his chest and said, "Just for the sake of your helping us, we also recognize it. The money will be invested in you guys." Fund!"

In fact, Lin Shien also had selfish intentions. Before coming here, his team had already investigated the situation of the Tianyu Fund. The excellent performance of the fund prompted him to invest these funds in the Tianyu Fund.

   "Okay, I will definitely not let you down!" After hearing these words, a smile suddenly appeared on Zhong Shi's face, and a big rock hanging in his heart fell to the ground immediately.

  The next moment, the hands of the two were tightly held together again.
