364 [The one who benefits is always the vulture]
The bosses of the Taurus Club are very busy, so naturally they cannot stay in Hong Kong City. Only half of the native Zhang Xuanlong watched Song Weiyang's operations from mid-month to the end of the month.
Peninsula Hotel.
The tea restaurant in this hotel should be the most popular tea restaurant in Hong Kong. Many bigwigs visit regularly every day, and some celebrities often appear, so that paparazzi lurk here to take photos of scandals at any time.
At 8 o'clock in the morning, Guo Xiaochun set out from home and drove to the Peninsula Hotel for morning tea.
This playful and uncontrollable uncle has become more ambitious in the past six months. There is no other reason, it is because he has been contempt and hit too much, so he has to calm down and learn something.
As the legal representative of Taurus Capital, although Guo Xiaochun only has a slight share in the name of CEO, he still gained the attention of countless Hong Kong City media. Shortly after he arrived in Hong Kong City, he was praised and exposed in various ways. There were even beautiful female celebrities who took the initiative to pay for it and received invitations from the cocktail party every few days.
First of all, Guo Xiaochun doesn't understand Cantonese, so he makes a lot of jokes about language.
Secondly, some financial personnel took the initiative to chat with Guo Xiaochun, but after asking questions, they didn't know that soon all Hong Kong knew that the president of Taurus Capital was a waste.
In the end, the female star who posted it was dumped Guo Xiaochun in less than half a month. As for the reason, Guo Xiaochun didn’t have much money and lived in rented houses, so it was even more impossible to afford to spend money and be generous.
My friends in my hometown envy Guo Xiaochun for his glory in Hong Kong City.
But Guo Xiaochun wanted to go back to his hometown to be casual. He couldn't speak in Hong Kong City, had no friends, and did nothing all day and didn't know what to do. He used to like bowling, but he got tired of playing in Hong City. In the past, he regarded KFC as a big meal, but found that it was not the case in Hong City.
Bored, Guo Xiaochun was taken to gamble by someone with ulterior motives and lost all in Aocheng (actually, he lost more than 6,000 Hong Kong dollars).
After losing all the cash on his body, the casino maid encouraged him to borrow money. Although Guo Xiaochun was anxious, he woke up instantly. He had encountered this trick in his hometown, and it was nothing more than some tricks to cheat money.
Can this deceive me?
Saint Seiya will never be knocked down by the same move!
Guo Xiaochun had no travel expenses at the Aocheng Casino, and he didn't dare to tell his relatives and friends that it was so shameful! He called He Guoming, the trader of Taurus Capital, and borrowed money to travel across the sea and return to Hong Kong City. That month, he was so poor that he could only eat cheap bread.
After spending half a year in Hong Kong City in a daze, Guo Xiaochun felt that he could no longer be abandoned like this.
So he began to practice Cantonese hard, then signed up for a night school, and also learned to manage the company and learn about financial knowledge. Until now, although Guo Xiaochun is still a half-baked person, at least he would not ask questions during the chat.
Of course, our romantic uncles will never lack women. He had a girlfriend at night school. He was pretty good-looking and was a more ambitious girl who was not motivated and would not work hard to go to night school.
My girlfriend, who lived with her cohabitation, knew that Guo Xiaochun was going to have morning tea with her boss, so she went out with her bag: "jamie, you don't have to take me to work today, I just need to take the bus by myself."
Well, jamie is my uncle’s English name, and I asked the night school teacher to help me give me a broken name.
"Don't take the bus, take a taxi faster." Guo Xiaochun said.
"Okay, goodbye tonight." My girlfriend waved goodbye.
Guo Xiaochun drove a second-hand car and went straight to the Peninsula Hotel from the rental house. The parking guy was too lazy to greet the broken car.
However, several reporters at the site recognized Guo Xiaochun and surrounded him as soon as they got off the car: "Guo Sheng, the Hang Seng Index rose sharply yesterday. Will Taurus Capital continue to go long today?"
"On long, of course, you have to go long. Soros will definitely lose!" Guo Xiaochun answered without hesitation, because Song Weiyang had already given instructions.
Another reporter asked: "I heard that not only Taurus Capital has long orders, but Boss Song mortgaged all his shares and borrowed 300 million US dollars to be long. Is this news true?"
Guo Xiaochun said: "It's not as much as $300 million."
"Then how much has Boss Song borrowed?" the reporter asked.
Guo Xiaochun said: "I don't know much."
A tabloid reporter suddenly asked: "Are Boss Song and Yang Gongru dating?"
Guo Xiaochun said: "It's said it's a scandal, and they have never met before."
"Guo Sheng, who is the beautiful lady who has been following Boss Song these days?" another reporter asked.
Guo Xiaochun said: "Your news is too unfamiliar. That is Ms. Chen Tao, a shareholder of Xifeng Company. Ms. Chen is also a shareholder of Taurus Capital... Okay, I want to go in for morning tea, please let me go."
When Guo Xiaochun came to the tea restaurant, Song Weiyang, Zhang Xuanlong and Chen Tao were having breakfast.
Zhang Xuanlong is also a family member who works all over the world. Although he has a home in Hong Kong City, he doesn't go back often because her wife is from Wanwan and she has to fly to North America every now and then. He has several villas in the mainland, but he basically can't live there and has always grown grass in the empty space.
For example, in the villa in Shencheng, Zhang Xuanlong gave Qiu Bojun a reward, which was the villa in history that Qiu Bojun sold the building of the Jinshan Company. There was also a villa in Beijing. He still didn't live in room No. 1716 of Yanshan Hotel in the hotel for a long time. He has not taken up business for several consecutive years because it was Zhang Xuanlong's fixed guest room.
These days, Zhang Xuanlong has been staying with Song Weiyang in the Peninsula Hotel. He smiled and said, "I have raised 2 million Hong Kong dollars in private and plan to do more with you today."
"You have to think about it," Song Weiyang reminded, "Now many financial media predict that the Hong Kong government's money has been spent. As long as international speculators continue to smash the market today, the Hong Kong government will have no funds to save the market."
Zhang Xuanlong shook his head and said, "Ren Yizhi is a very conservative financial bureaucrat. I have thought about it repeatedly. The operation in this half month is not like it can be done by any move. Unless he has sufficient funds as a backing, he dares to save the market without calculating costs."
"It may also be that the dog is desperate and fights to the death, because you will have no money until next month." Song Weiyang said.
Zhang Xuanlong laughed and said, "If you don't participate, I definitely think that any move is a desperate attempt. As a person, you have never done a loss-making business. If you are not sure, you will definitely not take action. Although you don't know where you learned the inside information, it is definitely a huge positive news." Suddenly, Zhang Xuanlong lowered his voice and leaned forward and asked, "Tell me, has the Chinese government mobilized foreign exchange reserves into the market?"
Song Weiyang said: "I don't know."
"Don't know?" Zhang Xuanlong said in surprise.
Song Weiyang said: "I only know that once the Hong Kong government does not have enough funds, it will definitely be able to use mainland foreign exchange. The reason why the Hong Kong government dares to rescue the market in mid-August is that in addition to having the country as a backing, the Russian ruble plummeted! Many hedge funds are eager to cash out and leave the scene, bringing money to Russia to clean up the mess. Thanks to Russian friends, they have made Soros lose a lot of helpers, which makes the Hong Kong government's rescue in August so easy."
Zhang Xuanlong nodded and said, "I understand that the plummeting ruble is equivalent to a fire in the backyard of hedge funds. Many international speculators no longer care about the side of SIPG. Why are the financial media in SIPG not focusing on reporting this news?"
"There are reports," said Song Weiyang, "I have read through all the financial newspapers in Hong Kong City this month, and there will be reports on August 12. It may be that Hong Kong people are too pessimistic and think that even if many hedge funds leave, Soros will still win in the end."
Guo Xiaochun and Chen Tao both sat next to him and listened silently. They didn't know much about financial knowledge and could only watch the show.
After drinking morning tea, everyone went straight to the futures exchange.
There are all kinds of soldiers on the exchange, and even ordinary retail investors know that they will definitely fight a big battle today.
Song Weiyang's appearance undoubtedly brought a relatively lively message to the solemn exchange. Because his show-off half a month ago has been widely reported by Hong Kong City media, the name of "God of Gambling" is well-known.
"Song Sheng, I heard that you used the equity of Taurus Capital as collateral and borrowed $200 million to enter the market with a private loan?"
"Not that much, only 1100 million. However, no matter how much I borrow, I will look to the market. I believe that the Hang Seng stock index can continue to rise!"
"What if you lose?"
"It won't be a loss. It doesn't matter if you lose. At worst, you can pay a portion of Taurus Capital equity to Citibank. I said Soros would run away with his tail between his legs. Do you believe it?"
“…”
So, Hong Kong City Finance reporters like Song Weiyang very much. This mainland boss is so interesting. He can do what others dare not do, and he can say what others dare not say, and he can write news in just a few words.
Even the news of private lending of US dollars entering the market was deliberately released by Song Weiyang. Due to the haste, Song Weiyang did not borrow 100 million US dollars at all, but only borrowed more than 50 million US dollars. Moreover, the interest rate on the borrowing of Hong Kong City was adjusted too high (the overnight interest rate was 300%), so Song Weiyang could only transfer foreign exchanges abroad, and the purchase was less than 50 million.
Song Weiyang walked to the center of the trading hall, smiled and waved his hand and shouted: "Today I borrowed 100 million US dollars to go long. If you want to make money, you dare to vote with me! The Russian ruble plummeted, and many speculators cashed out in Hong Kong City and left the scene. Soros did not have as many accomplices as before. The yen continued to appreciate, and speculators' exchange cost increased significantly, and Soros's funds were also difficult. Do you all ignore these good news? Do you think I am so stupid? If I am not sure, I will spend so much money? Friends who used to short, as long as you have funds in your hands, quickly close the position and turn over the idle too much, at least they can get back their capital! It's a man, I'll do something with me this year!"
If this was left half a month ago, it would have been ridiculed.
But now, many people think carefully, because the rise of the Hang Seng Index is too gratifying.
Zhang Xuanlong smiled and said, "I am the general manager of Gangcheng Sitong. Today I am going to spend 2 million Hong Kong dollars to go in and have a small bet with Boss Song. Friends who are interested can do it with us."
Song Weiyang and Zhang Xuanlong stood in the trading hall, and Chen Tao and Guo Xiaochun also accompanied the station throughout the journey.
At 10 a.m., the exchange opened.
Song Weiyang deliberately roared and yelled: "The 100 million US dollars I borrowed are all long. You can eat as much short orders as you want, and don't give me a penny left!"
He Guoming resisted the urge to roll his eyes and thought to himself: You have a bullshit of $100 million, and 50 million US dollars can't be enough.
The moment the market opened, international speculators frantically smashed short orders, and the Hang Seng Index fell slightly immediately. The Hong Kong government ate as much as it did and did not go long, pulling the Hang Seng Index upwards.
"Rise, let me rise!" Song Weiyang shouted arrogantly, attracting waves of slanting eyes.
The Hang Seng Index was like a soldier. With Song Weiyang's order, it rushed to 10, 20, and 30 in minutes...
Just 5 minutes into the opening of the market, the turnover exceeded HK$3.9 billion, and it exceeded 10 billion in half an hour, reaching 40 billion at the close of the morning and more than 79 billion at the close of the afternoon.
The Hong Kong government has not used the mainland's foreign exchange reserves for the time being. They first mobilized foreign exchange funds. After using up the foreign exchange funds, they adjusted the land funds and the Chinese government did not pay any penny, but just put them there to spare.
Everyone was stunned because over the past year, the Hang Seng Index has only fallen so quickly and has not yet risen so quickly.
"Dong!"
The closing bell rang, and the exchange was already in a state of fanaticism. Countless people hugged and laughed and cried, and some even took off their clothes and threw them around.
Song Weiyang was wearing a suit, looking up at the electronic screen with his hips on his back. His back was taken by a reporter from the Finance Daily, becoming the front page headline picture of the newspaper the next day.
The stock god deserves his reputation and leaves an eternal legend in the Harbor City.
The August War ended here.
From mid-August to now, the Hang Seng Index has risen by more than 1,200 points. Once international speculators close their positions, they will lose huge losses. If they choose to transfer positions, the cost of transferring positions per contract is as high as more than 30,000 Hong Kong dollars.
Although Soros hedged the foreign exchange market, stock market and futures market, he still suffered huge losses and would continue to lose money in September.
Yes, Soros still did not give up. He did not think that August was a decisive battle. He wanted to continue fighting a protracted battle in September.
By early September, international speculators continued to short, while the Hong Kong Government's Financial Management Bureau suddenly issued new regulations, and investment was greatly restricted. At the same time, the yen continued to appreciate, the Southeast Asian market stabilized, and the cost of speculators' exchange of foreign exchange increased significantly. In addition, the backyard of the ruble depreciated depreciation and the Chinese government also spoke out hard that this financial war could no longer be fought.
Maybe Soros wanted to persevere, but other speculators were not so determined and evacuated many of them one after another.
In this situation, even if he lasted until the end, Soros could only fight alone, so he chose to abandon his son and admit defeat.
In fact, Soros did not fail, but just failed to meet the established expectations. Even though he suffered a big loss in August and September, including the money he made over the past year, some people estimate that Soros made a total of $1 billion in Hong Kong City. Of course, some people say that Soros lost a small loss of hundreds of millions of dollars. Only he himself knows what exactly.
The Hong Kong government did not fail, and successfully maintained a fixed exchange rate. Foreign exchange reserves increased instead of decreasing, which was simply perfect.
The Chinese government did not fail. Although it mobilized foreign exchange reserves as a backing, it did not have time to use a penny. Without any damage, the Chinese government showed off its muscles and also gained a good reputation for saving the Hong Kong City.
Only the people in Hong Kong City have completely failed, and countless people have become negative assets, and life will not be easy in the next few years.
The capitalists and overseas capital in Hong Kong were like vultures. After the Soros evacuated, they began to clean up the battlefield. The fallen corpses became nutrients for their continued growth, including Song Weiyang, and also part of the vultures.
Taurus Capital cannot always play securities, nor can it always rely on Song Weiyang's foresight to engage in venture capital.
Now that he has made so much money, he will certainly not be idle in the bank. There are stocks and real estate projects everywhere in Hong Kong City, and some companies on the verge of bankruptcy. So, Taurus Capital began to operate normally, and Song Weiyang did not need to intervene. Its own professionals were engaged in the evaluation and acquisition.
