middle East.

The United States and Iran confront each other, and the two countries stationed their troops on the border, as if a war was about to begin and the situation was extremely serious.

The whole world is paying attention to this matter, and TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, etc., and they have also reported it, which has caused panic and panic.

But Xia Tian knew that this battle would not be able to fight for a while.

Because America is not stupid, you will not do anything that has no benefits, and you will not even be able to do anything with fewer benefits.

This time it sent troops to the Middle East and used tens of thousands of troops. If it could not gain enough benefits, wouldn’t it be a loss?

So it must negotiate with Sat, Kovit and other countries for compensation and only if it has a profit, it will be willing to fight. Otherwise, then wait slowly.

Furthermore, the United States has always refused to die alone, and it has to attract some allies in the war. One is to strengthen its momentum, the other is to take the blame.

Now, only the United States has sent troops unilaterally, and it is also called unjust disagreement, so it must wait for its allies and the resolutions of the United Nations.

At that time, the rewards will be negotiated and allies will arrive. The righteousness will be with me. The division will be famous. Only when the United States attacks Iraq can the maximum profits be achieved.

So he was calm and still filmed in the United States, while doing some small moves in Hong Kong.

...

Hongkong.

For several consecutive days, several newspapers including Ming Pao, Tiantian Daily, Star News and other newspapers reported that HSBC wealthy people invested in oil in the Middle East, but are now confiscated by Iraqi troops, causing them to suffer heavy losses.

The people were already paying attention to the war in the Middle East and were well aware of the situation there. Now, when they saw these reports, they immediately believed it.

Because the reports list detailed evidence, such as the previous HSBC press release, the current report on the battle situation of major media around the world, and the revelations of sources, etc., it is easy to draw the conclusion that HSBC wealthy investment failures can be achieved.

Before August, before Iraq invaded Covet, HSBC wealthy people all made a big splash with investment in Middle East oil as a good thing.

On the one hand, they have to build momentum for themselves and use the benefits of investing in Middle East Petroleum to attract investors in order to raise funds. You should know that as the chairman of a listed company, the most important thing is to tell stories. As long as you draw a big pie, some fools are willing to donate generously.

On the one hand, they had a bad idea, which was to use this to make a big deal. He started investing in oil wells in the Middle East. Later, after being found out by the HSBC, they followed the trend of investing, and even snatched several oil wells with Xia Tian.

So every time they take down the well, they will send a press release to the media to report it to celebrate their victory.

But now, the press releases they had published before have become nooses on their necks. Because after comparing the news before and after the war, it is easy to find that the oil wells they bought before have almost all been swallowed by Ira. People know that once these oil wells are swallowed and spit out, it is extremely difficult.

Therefore, even fools can see the fact that "HSBC rich people failed to invest in Middle East oil" now. Therefore, after the report was released, the listed company stocks held by HSBC rich people were sold, and the stock prices also fell again and again. Because people are afraid that if they sell too late, these stocks will be worthless.

Just like Henderson Land Development and New World Development, the stock prices of these two listed companies are still hovering at low levels after selling out a few days ago.

In addition to the stock price plummeted, HSBC also saw a large number of withdrawals from customers. Several media have hinted that the funds used by HSBC's wealthy investments are all from HSBC.

Now that nearly 60 billion Hong Kong dollars have disappeared, and a loan repayment crisis occurs, HSBC will naturally have large amounts of bad debts. 60 billion Hong Kong dollars, accounting for nearly 20% of its total deposits. The bad debt rate is so high that banks may go bankrupt at any time. You should know that the average bank bad debt rate is at most 5%.

...

The stock price plummeted and the loss of deposits made the HSBC team sad.

"This matter must have been done by Xia Tian! Otherwise, who would have known that we have so many things?" Li Zhaoji said angrily. He hated Xia Tian to the core now, and felt that he did all the bad things.

"Yes, it's him!", "No one in Hong Kong dares to go against us except him!", "Ming Pao and Tiantian Daily are all media under his jurisdiction? It's sure that he ordered them to leave!" Everyone cursed indignation.

"No need to blame anyone now. The key is what we do in the future. Now the stock price has fallen to the bottom, and I can't even raise funds." Kessek waved his hand and said depressedly.

He lost a lot of money last time in the Fusang real estate market, and he was taken advantage of the opportunity to invest in the stock market, which caused heavy losses. So he wanted to issue new shares to raise funds to fill the gap. However, the plan to issue new shares was launched and this happened.

Now that people are selling their stocks one after another, no one buys his new stocks, which makes him not raise a penny and has to pay a large amount of money from the brokerage firm. It's really a waste of money.

After hearing his question, everyone who was cursing just now suddenly lost their voices.

To be honest, the best way now is to withdraw troops immediately and return the oil well to them intact. Only in this way can they be saved.

Otherwise, how could they fill the deficit of HK$60 billion? Even if Li Jiacheng's assets are nearly HK$70 billion, they cannot afford such a huge loss.

"In my opinion, it is better to divert the focus from the disaster and divert the focus." Li Jiacheng suddenly suggested.

"The disaster is in the east?" When everyone heard this, they looked at him.

"Not bad! Think about it, Xia Tian also invested in oil wells in the Middle East, and the investment is much larger than ours, and it is estimated to be 10 billion US dollars." Li Jiacheng explained, "In this war, his oil wells were also not spared. Most of them were confiscated by Iraq, and the losses were at least about 500 billion Hong Kong dollars. However, because he has been working in a low-key manner, few people in Hong Kong know about it. If we reveal this news, he will undoubtedly become the target of public criticism, and we will naturally get out."

"Ah, it makes sense!" Zheng Yutong nodded immediately and agreed.

"Hey, it's useless." Bao Yugang waved his hand, "Xia's net worth is nearly 20 billion US dollars, and the loss of 60 billion US dollars is what does it mean to him?"

After hearing what he said, everyone nodded again. Indeed, six or seven hundred billion is indeed astronomical to them and cannot afford it. But for summer, it seems that it is not that much.

Li Jiacheng smiled and said something, which immediately lit up everyone present.
