In the restaurant of the Stock Exchange, seeing Chen Hongtao eating indiscriminately, Winnie, who was sitting across from the dining table, frowned and asked, "Haven't Helen and the others come over?"
"They no longer care about the company's affairs. They just travel around when they have time in these years." Chen Hongtao said vaguely without raising his head.
"When the Soviet Union collapsed, a large part of its assets evaporated. How much money did you take away?" Winnie stared at Chen Hongtao and asked.
Chen Hongtao smiled faintly: "I have countless assets now. If you ask this rashly, it's really difficult for me to answer you!"
"The Hang Seng Index has fallen so much in the morning, will you take action in the afternoon?" Winnie asked elegantly and took a sip of red wine.
Chen Hongtao looked at Winnie with a smile and said, "It depends on your mood. We are on two different paths. You are passionate about wealth and status, while I like a stable life."
"Are you still thinking about that incident?" Winnie asked excitedly.
Chen Hongtao cut a piece of steak and shook it with a smile: "I have lived on Campelos Island for nine years, and I have taken everything very lightly. There was nothing wrong with you and me being more clear about money back then. People don't care. You don't owe me anything to punish yourself, and I didn't count on you."
"Now that you've taken a dim view of everything, what are you doing here? You, Pearl Holdings, have made who knows how much money in Japan and the Soviet Union. Now that you've made enough money, you've come out to block other people's financial paths and meddle in other people's business?" Winnie seemed to say. His dissatisfaction with Chen Hongtao was vented through his coming to Hong Kong.
Chen Hongtao smiled bitterly and said: "If possible, I would rather not participate in this kind of thing. The Hang Seng Index is about to collapse under your pressure this morning. Didn't I make any reaction?"
"I'm afraid only the devil knows what you are thinking about when you will leave Hong Kong?" Winnie looked like she didn't trust Chen Hongtao.
"The day after tomorrow, I plan to go to the United States to have a look. After all, Pearl Holdings is now a shareholder of the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Oil Reserve. It doesn't matter if I don't go and take a look." Chen Hongtao did not hide it too much.
"I heard that Nicole has been in contact with the executives of your Pearl Century Bank again and wants to increase her stake in Century Bank again. Wouldn't it be a pity to withdraw from this business that you have worked so hard to build?" Winnie said with some deep thought. Chen Hongtao said.
"Eating alone is not a long-term solution after all, whether it's me or Pearl Holdings. After all, we are still in the socio-economic system. Do we want to make enemies of everyone and dominate the world?" Chen Hongtao teased Winnie with a smile. road.
Winnie finally laughed and spat: "Since you don't value Century Bank's equity, you might as well sell it to me. In terms of relationship, you and I are closer than Nicole."
After finishing the sumptuous dishes on the table, Chen Hongtao wiped his mouth with a wet towel: "Whether it's your Rockefeller family or you personally. As long as I can afford the price, I will consider selling part of Century Bank shares. Yes. I have left the detailed matters to Xu Chunjiao and Lin En, you can go talk to them."
"Are you still so young and thinking about withdrawing from the capital market so early and spending your whole life on Campelos Island?" Winnie couldn't help but ask when she saw Chen Hongtao getting up.
Chen Hongtao just smiled flatly: "Everyone has different ideas and pursuits, and it is difficult to get along with each other. Over the years, Jinlan and I have reached an agreement. Don't worry too much about things in the past. Things in this world are divided. The fate of separation, reunification, and separation. You and I are basically people walking on different trajectories, and we will not end up together in the end."
Seeing Chen Hongtao leaving calmly, Winnie couldn't help but froze on the spot and didn't say a word for a long time.
When the Hang Seng Index opened in the afternoon, the trading floor of the Stock Exchange did not ring the bell, but the sharply lower opening after the lunch break still made many traders and market representatives take a breath of cold air.
"The Hang Seng Index opened at 15,600 points. It opened almost 80 points in one stroke. It seems that the market has been very panicked." Seeing the Hang Seng Index falling in one stroke in the afternoon, Mr. Wei said with a cautious expression.
"It's still falling, after a midday fermentation. The spread of this panic will inevitably have a concentrated impact on the market in the afternoon." Megan Kuaiyu reminded Chen Hongtao.
"This is a head pattern after all. Most investors are afraid that today's lowest point will be tomorrow's highest point. Although the short-term decline of the index has exceeded 900 points, many people are panicking about the continuous decline." Aga Sha said with a sigh.
"The big negative line of this guillotine is really very cautious. If no one comes into the market to protect the market, it is not impossible to have continuous sharp declines. Whether it is in terms of inertia or head shape, a sharp decline will bring great consequences to the market." Psychological pressure." Kath was also very cautious about this high position.
Unlike Chen Hongtao sitting safely in the exit area, many Hong Kong localsThe market exit representatives of the institutions were all crazy and selling goods in the electronic trading at this time, and their psychological defenses were completely defeated by a group of international speculators.
During the half-hour when the Hang Seng Index opened in the afternoon, the trading floor was in chaos. Even Guo Bingxiang and several consortium bosses were personally directing their traders to sell their stock market positions.
"I really didn't expect the Hong Kong stock market to be so fragile. It encountered almost no resistance and the decline has exceeded 1,000 points. Is Chen Hongtao really capable of protecting Hong Kong stocks? It seems to me that it is just an illusion!" The Warburg family A blond young man in his twenties looked at Chen Hongtao in the distance and said with disdain.
"Didn't you notice the looks on other people's faces? When that person dominated the world's capital market, you hadn't even left school yet. Even if he sat there motionless, he couldn't tolerate any slighting. Some people here even failed more than once. In his hands, if your Aunt Nicole and I hadn't been strong-willed and resisted, we would have been unable to recover forever!" Ives sighed with a complicated expression.
The blond young man looked at Chen Hongtao with arrogance: "Uncle Ives, I heard that Pearl Holdings' self-operated business has not been in operation for many years. Now even Century Bank's equity has begun to be dispersed. With this If there are many international speculators, you will never lose if you fight for funds.¡±
When I saw my nephew¡¯s expression, I felt like he was the same as before. Ives shook his head and sighed: "Do you think that the kingship established by Pearl Holdings in the capital market is because of the superior amount of funds? That Chen Hongtao is simply a shady fingertip capitalist. He can calculate in the game of the market. Deep in your bones, this is also the reason why once Pearl Holdings launches an offensive, it is difficult to stop it. The kind of operation like a roaring mountain and a tsunami is enough to make people feel suffocated."
"It's almost there. The market has entered an oversold state in the short term. If it goes down further, it may be very difficult." Byron confirmed in a low voice to William.
Seeing that the Hang Seng Index had dropped to 15,480 points, before William could issue a trading order, the market had already changed.
"It seems that there are funds entering the market to open long positions in futures, and many large-capitalization blue-chip stocks have also been bought. The stock market has been shaken" Anna, the vice president of UBS, said to William with a complicated expression.
William almost walked to the computer to check the market price, and immediately took a look at the exit area where Mingzhu Holdings was located.
It was found that many traders were immersed in operations in the out-of-market seat area of ??Mingzhu Holdings. The five generals of Mingzhu Holdings all took action and began to issue trading orders continuously. Byron looked much more serious: "Here he comes!"
"There has been no action all morning, but now he is actively fighting for chips, and he just happened to choose the position where we want to close our futures positions and cover our stocks. He clearly wants to squeeze us out." William's solemn look made him Many people are keenly aware that the market may be changing.
¡°Boom~~~¡± A towering long position on the futures index suddenly appeared on the computer, almost taking over the entrusted position of the short side on the futures index in one fell swoop.
"Large-cap blue-chip stocks, led by HSBC. All have large buying orders, completely ignoring the heavy panic selling pressure in the market, and their operating methods are extremely powerful!" George Soros, the head of the Quantum Fund, reminded everyone in Kuaiyu road.
"The stock index refused to fall, and the continuous rush of large orders from many parties not only closed the room for decline, but also cleared away the market's selling pressure. I believe that the real market price of the Hang Seng Index and the futures index will start to rebound soon." Ives also said at this time Not caring about anything else, he spoke anxiously.
"Don't panic, our positions on the futures index do not need to be loosened. This is just a rebound. Stop selling stocks." William said to stabilize his morale.
Just when all the international speculators were nervous, Evan in the distance stood up with a fierce attitude, stretched his neck and shouted: "Rush, sweep up the stock market and futures, and kill the main short-side institutions. "
Megan and Wei Lao were almost following closely behind, directing their respective investment companies to enter the market. Suddenly, the large long positions in the stock market and futures prices counterattacked upward fiercely, like swallowing mountains and rivers.
"The rise is faster than the decline in the stock index that we suppressed in the morning. Do they want to take advantage of the long position and let the Hang Seng Index lift the lid? The time-sharing trend of the Hang Seng Index's real market and futures index is completely due to the increase in price and volume. Posture." Old Bloomer was also a little undecided at this time. When the market closed at noon, he didn't get any hint from Kath.
"It rebounded 150 points in three minutes. This speed has caused a real blow to short-side investors. We sold a lot of goods in the morning and finally managed to get the stock index to this level. Do we have to watch it? Will they regain their lost ground?" Julian couldn't sit still and stood up.
¡°Don¡¯t worry, if my guess is right, the funds entering the market are not owned by Mingzhu Holdings, but will be transferred toThose guys in the article were just released to stir things up. They mainly wanted to attack us at the weak points where our operations have changed, so as to seize the initiative in the securities market. "William had calmed down by this time.
"What do you mean by fighting for the initiative?" Anna couldn't help but ask when she saw the sudden change in the market.
William didn't need to answer. Byron, who was thinking deeply, explained in a deep voice: "When the stock positions in our hands were significantly reduced, we adopted the intervention method of short-term oversold and rebound, and captured the panic market at a relatively low level in one fell swoop. Subsequently, the t+0 trading model was used to generate profits while clearing up some of the market's short-selling sentiment, and gradually controlled the decline of the stock index."
"Since they have taken over the goods, we will use rumors to attack them and let everyone know that the Hong Kong financial market will not last long. If we are not allowed to cover our positions smoothly, there is no need for us to politely wait for them to close their positions. Once there is a short-term speculation over there, If you want to lose money, we will sell goods to suppress the index." Winnie said bitterly.
"Continuing consumption will do us no good. If everyone remains in a stalemate at this position, Pearl Holdings will definitely be able to withstand the heavy pressure and make the Hang Seng Index reach a new high. By then, the risk on the futures index alone is something we cannot underestimate." William Very sensible.
"Yes, we don't need to fight with Mingzhu Holdings. They want the initiative, so just give it to them. If you bear a little patience, even if the stock market falls smoothly, we will still make money. Those generals of Mingzhu Holdings are completely warmongers. Provoking them would be bad for us." Byron also did not agree with Winnie's idea.
Under the strong operation of Tomahawk Investment Company. The time-sharing of the Hang Seng Index has completely stood up. In the eyes of many people, it does not look like a rebound, but rather means a strong washout and a new high.
"It's rising really fast. In half an hour, the Hang Seng Index has risen by 600 points. A group of international speculators have worked hard all morning and are almost wiped out!" Guo Bingxiang looked at the actively operating Mingzhu Holdings. Exit the city area road.
"Well, in the afternoon, those people seemed to be a lot more active. They didn't bear the pain to clear out their stock positions before they lost money. I didn't expect this wave of rising offensive. It came so fast!" Guan Yingpei, chairman of Yingfu Investment Company, laughed. said.
¡°I don¡¯t know if it will hit a new high. Speaking of which, those international speculators did not stop this fierce rise.¡± Li Wenfu looked very excited.
Just when many people were overwhelmed by the strong rise, operations in the market exit area of ??Pearl Holdings never stopped.
"Boss, the market trend has reversed. After a full decline before, we have pulled up the real price of the Hang Seng Index and the futures index, which has attracted a lot of follow-up orders. Should we take the opportunity to sell some goods? "Evan looked like he wanted to hit the hammer quickly.
"Sell the stock. Flatten the swap index and let the stock market enter a wide range of fluctuations in time. This can be very beneficial to digest the continued short sentiment." Chen Hongtao whispered to Evan.
"Do you want to sell all the stocks?" Evan confirmed to Chen Hongtao.
"It's all out. Under the pressure of fundamentals such as the Asian financial turmoil, it makes no sense to hold on to the stock market. I just don't want the stock market to collapse so quickly. You won't come out now. Those consortiums and financial institutions will not be polite. It's better to trap them in it, and you may not be able to rely on them to save yourself in the future and pull up the stock index again." Chen Hongtao had a smirk on his face.
"Sweep the goods. Keep going up and sweep hard." While roaring with a grin on his face, Evan simply made a secret code gesture to Meghan and the others.
?? It may seem to outsiders that the traders in the trading seat area of ????Pearl Holdings are operating at full strength, but in fact, the liquidation of futures and stocks has occurred during the session.
"The highest point of the rebound has basically been determined, around 15,200 points, and Pearl Holdings also has signs of shipments, but it is very secretive and not very obvious." Anna said to William with a smile.
"It's just a rebound. Generally speaking, the profit margin is not very large, but after they were eliminated, the state of the entire stock market may have undergone fundamental changes." Byron took a deep breath and said.
Nicole nodded: "The crash-like decline rate has been corrected, and the previous panic atmosphere has been dissipated a lot. Unilateral decline and resistance are completely different."
"No matter what, the general trend is still on our side. Even if Pearl Holdings interferes, it will be difficult to stop the overall state of the Hong Kong stock market." Winnie said softly.
To everyone's surprise, William was unsure and shook his head: "You are wrong. The sharp collapse and decline of the stock market in the morning has already touched the bottom line of Pearl Holdings. Their decisive attack in the afternoon is more of a reminder to us. If you don't restrain yourself, you will probably be controlled by Mingzhu.??'s main force ate us up in the Hong Kong financial market. "
Byron smiled slightly bitterly: "It is possible. Originally, Pearl Holdings was in a favorable position for many parties. Coupled with the bottomless amount of funds, if there was a death battle, Pearl Holdings would have a much greater chance of winning."
"Then why didn't he do this? The relationship with you is on the one hand, but that shouldn't be the main reason, right? My relationship with Chen was okay at the beginning, but I was tricked by him once in Japan!" Until now, Nicole is still a little dissatisfied with the fiasco of the Japanese financial market.
"He has really changed a lot over the years. When Pearl Holdings was at its peak, it was not as easy as it seemed on the surface to withdraw from the capital market! The interests of all parties have also gone through a lot of arrangements before we can achieve the peace we have today, Campello You have all been to Zida Island, it is indeed a good place, sometimes I wonder if I want to live there forever." Byron's words made Winnie look complicated.
Seeing the market slowly falling, Marshall smiled and said: "Speaking of it, in the turbulence of the world capital market in these years, I have made a lot of money. It is also a good choice to quit like Chen. This time I have started I will integrate the assets acquired at low prices in Thailand, and when I can buy them at a good price, I also want to buy an island, build a palace, and live a comfortable life."
As the market closes in the afternoon, except for a group of Hong Kong conglomerate bosses, the atmosphere on the trading floor seems much more relaxed. Short-side international speculators no longer suppress the stock market, but choose to let it fall freely.
"I really want to have a good fight with him, but it's a pity that the opportunity this time is not very good. If I miss this time, it will be difficult to wait in the future!" William sighed and smiled.
"Nicole, why do you think Chen arranged a trip to the United States? In the past, he didn't seem to pay much attention to the operations of the U.S. oil reserves and the Federal Reserve." Anna asked with some curiosity.
