2173 [Sniper Start]
After setting the goal of cooperation, Xia Tian did not discuss the details of cooperation with Long Mayer.
These trivial matters were left to Jerry Brookheimer to discuss. That person is also a person who refuses to suffer losses, and he talks with Ron Mayer some.
In summer, there are things to do.
As December approaches, several more things happen one after another.
First, "The Silence of the Lambs" is about to be completed. Xia Tian doesn't want to fail for Shan Jiuren, so he has been busy in the studio in recent days.
The second is Lee Zhaoji, Hong Kong and Zheng Yutong were forced to file for personal bankruptcy due to HSBC's continuous debt pressure. Both of them were once worth tens of billions and had full of wealth and wealth for most of their lives, but because of the word "greed", they had nothing when they were old, which is really amazing.
After this news came out, the Hong Kong people were surprised. It was unpredictable that the once powerful "Shad Dantong" (nickname Zheng Yutong) and "Four Uncle" (Li Zhaoji's respectful title) would have today.
"The wind blows the eggshells, and the wealth leaves the people happy!", "The tens of billions of property have disappeared, which is really pitiful and lamentable!", "Don't be greedy, be careful that the word greed will become poor. If Li Zheng was not too greedy, he would not be able to fall into this place now!", "It was because he offended Xia Tian again. Oh, that kid is a demon star, whoever provokes him will be unlucky."
The people sighed, and there were many voices of ridicule, emotion and sympathy. But no matter how the audience views, Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong have become tomorrow's yellow flowers, and their chapters have been revealed.
The 200 billion stock rights plan launched by Sanze Tianxia Group was successfully completed three months after its release. A total of 160 billion Hong Kong dollars were raised, and the remaining 40 billion Hong Kong dollars of stocks were all filled by Xia Tian.
After completing the new stock rights plan, Xia Tian is still the largest shareholder of Tianxia Group, with more than half of the stocks of several listed companies. Especially Tianxia Energy, Tianxia Clothing, and Tianxia Technology, the holdings are more than 60%.
However, because of its excellent performance, everyone rushed to buy new shares after the release, and the supply was in short supply, leaving only 51% of the stock in Xiatian. It was enough for him to control the company.
...
Mid-December.
The movie "Silence of the Lambs" was officially completed, and at the same time, Soros's Quantum Fund has also begun to prepare to launch an attack on Hong Kong.
Unlike the last time he sniped Moxico, Soros did not want to suppress and praise Hong Kong's economic development this time, but directly began to belittle Hong Kong's economy and strongly suppress the people's confidence.
He made a big fuss about several scandals that have happened in the Hong Kong economic circle in the past year, such as HSBC's real estate speculation, HSBC's investment in Middle East oil, Li Zhaoji and Zheng Yutong's personal bankruptcy, etc., directly pointing out that the pillar of the Hong Kong economy, the HSBC's system is already terminally ill and dying, and the economic prospects of Hong Kong will be dark.
Wall Street's investment banks are best at using public opinion to incite the hearts of the people. In the past life, the reason why the subprime mortgage crisis was so big was that they were brainlessly propaganda.
Many poor men who could not afford to buy a house were daydreaming to buy a house with loans. As a result, not only did the house not remain, but they also had heavy debts. Not only did their lives not get better, but they became worse than before.
However, before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, the investment banks on Wall Street made a big profit, emptied the lifelong efforts of countless people, and were even more vicious than the legendary vampire.
This time they belittled Hong Kong's economic development and were full of fire. Not only were world-class heavy media participating in the publicity, but famous economists also helped to stand up, which caused panic and people's hearts to be uneasy.
The Hong Kong people have been quiet for less than two months, and they are just shocked. Now they have encountered these news again, and they have all become frightened birds. The confidence in Hong Kong's future can be said to have plummeted.
Quantum Fund then tried its best in the foreign exchange market and sold 20 billion Hong Kong dollars. Such a large amount of sales hit the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate at once.
Just when Quantum Fund took action, the Hong Kong government had already received news that it learned that there were international hot money to attack Hong Kong and immediately took measures to respond.
Their measure is to increase the lending rate between banks. Within one day, the lending rate in Hong Kong rose to 80%. This move is to increase the difficulty of financing for snipers.
Because they want to snipe the Hong Kong dollar, they have to borrow money from banks. Now that the lending interest rate is so high, it is naturally difficult for them to raise funds, so they naturally stop sniping.
Before, there were no hot money that had no idea of Hong Kong, but they were forced back by this move. Because the Hong Kong government forced several hot money to withdraw through this move, "replacing the interest rate of loans" has become their "unusual magic weapon" to deal with hot money sniping.
But unfortunately, the Hong Kong government miscalculated this time.
For one thing, Soros also investigated that the Hong Kong government had this trick, so he started hoarding Hong Kong dollars early, and now he has nearly 800 billion Hong Kong dollars in funds, which is enough for a temporary purpose.
Second, he also found that once the Hong Kong government raises the bank lending interest rate, Hong Kong's stock market, real estate market, and futures index will all fall. Because these major markets rely on massive amounts of funds to support and increase the bank lending interest rate, although it prevents the financing of international hot money, it also hinders normal financing activities, so these three major markets will be affected.
So Soros sold Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market and secretly shorted the Hong Kong stock market in the futures market. In this way, he could make double money.
...
Sure enough, as the Hong Kong government announced the increase in lending interest rates, Hong Kong's stock market fell in response.
Since the stock market plummeted in 1987, the Hong Kong stock market has just recovered in the past two years and has rebounded to more than 3,000 points. Now, after being hit by the Hong Kong government, it has immediately dropped by more than 200 points. The futures market is also greatly affected, and the futures index has also fallen quite heavily.
And this is just the beginning. Once Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves are exhausted, the Hong Kong government announces the cancellation of the fixed exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar, and announces the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, Hong Kong's economy will completely collapse, and the stock market and futures market will fall to the bottom.
While Soros is heading for foreign exchange, he can short stock index futures and make two portions of money at the same time. This wishful thinking is really good.
However, there is a poem that says it well, don’t tell me that you will go early, and there will be people who will go early. Summer has already started to make arrangements before Soros, and his investment is even greater, so naturally he makes much more profits than him.
As for this move that will damage Hong Kong's economy, Xia Tian has no psychological burden on it.
First, Hong Kong is still under the British Empire, and he robs the money from Britain now; second, even if he does not move Hong Kong now, after returning in the future, Hong Kong will inevitably be sniped by others. Instead of taking advantage of others, it is better for Xia Tian to get started first; third, he thinks that taking back a "dashed" Hong Kong is more beneficial to the mainland than taking back a "golden and jade inside" Hong Kong.
In the past life, when the mainland took back Hong Kong, both real estate and stocks in Hong Kong were in an extremely bubble state, which could be said to be a fire of cooking oil and flowers. But that was an abnormal phenomenon, and it was deliberately hyped by the British Hong Kong government.
As a result, the mainland just took over Hong Kong, and its bubble economy collapsed immediately, and countless Hong Kong people became "negative assets" as a result, and many people jumped off buildings.
Because the mainland had already taken it back at that time, public opinion blamed the mainland for the matter, and even the Hong Kong people thought so, which made the mainland take the blame.
On the contrary, if the mainland takes over a "dashed" Hong Kong, then with the support of the mainland, the Hong Kong economy will easily recover its glory. After all, it is still very easy to develop a city with the power of a country. At that time, Hong Kong people will naturally think about the benefits of the mainland.
Why do the people in Macau support the mainland so much? It is because before the return, the Macau was in chaos. Big bosses like the "Bengta Koo" often broke out in conflicts over interests, shooting, setting fires, and throwing bombs, which made the Macau people live in miserable life.
