My Age of Investment

   Chapter 1140 A good assist

  Three days later, in a retro-furnished Tsui Wah Tea Restaurant near Central and Lan Kwai Fong, the fully-filled diners ate delicious breakfast, read the morning newspaper, and occasionally turned their heads to chat with their friends at the same table.

   Nine of the ten sentences of these people's conversations are inseparable from the recent major financial event on Hong Kong Island - short Xia Jingxing VS long Li Huangtai.

"Brother Tai is in big trouble this time. Brother Hao only **** one of his sons and demanded a mere 1 billion ransom. Xia Sheng tied his "three sons" when he was born. This appetite is bigger than Brother Hao. If you don't get hundreds of billions of ransoms, I'm afraid it won't stop."

"I don't see it that way. The short sellers have been shipping 10 or 20 billion Hong Kong dollars of sell orders every day. Li Huangtai still hasn't caught it. Brother Tai has money. If you can't steal chickens, you will lose rice! Brother Hao was so lawless back then, he hasn't been cleaned up yet!"

   "Cut! Why are you worrying about so much! Be careful with your long white hair! There are super rich people on both sides, we just need to drink tea and watch the play as migrant workers."

   "Bad boy, this is a big money-making thing, and it's rare to come across it once in decades! Don't pay attention, you deserve to be on the street and sleep in a room all your life!"

   "Make a lot of money? My friend rushed in to buy a long stock, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars. In a few hours, he only lost 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. If he didn't run early, he wouldn't be able to keep a penny."

"Let's add leverage? Like me, I'm also a person who can't hold votes. If it plummets, he will immediately raise the margin to survive. When Brother Tai announces the 50 billion holding increase plan, the loss will definitely not be so big, maybe You can also not lose money.”

   "Who could have predicted what happened next? In short, he doesn't dare to enter the field now, and he has no idea what direction things will develop next."

  …

  Xia Jingxing listened with interest to Ye Shuhui, who was sitting next to him, while eating the fried buns, helping him translate the conversation of the diners at the next table.

   He could not understand Cantonese, so Ye Shuhui, a native of Hong Kong Island, could only translate it into Mandarin for him.

After listening to   , he thought it was quite interesting, and even compared him to Brother Hao.

  Although Brother Hao is dedicated to making money, the speed of making money is still a little slower than his.

Three days ago, Envision Capital made a high-profile shot, and the huge sell orders that flowed to the market directly smashed the stock price, and a large number of retail investors were frightened. It is easy to dare not enter again.

   In the past few days, they and Li Huangtai have been using various means, throwing billions and tens of billions into the stock market, and fighting endlessly around the three stocks.

   Overall, Li Huangtai has the upper hand.

   Because the stock prices of the three stocks did not fall too much, it means that the bulls have defended the line, and the bears have not made much profit.

  If they were to close their positions now, a large number of buy orders would also send the stock price flying.

   In the end, the investment was a loss, which means that the shorting failed.

   Generally speaking, hedge funds prefer to short those companies with financial problems, such as financial fraud, near bankruptcy, or valuation bubbles.

   The companies under Li Huangtai are all industrial, operating real estate, ports, retail, telecommunications and other businesses. At present, most of these businesses are operating well, and there is not much short-selling value.

   They stubbornly gnawed up and went short, not only difficult to achieve the effect of small and broad, but also turned the sneak attack into a frontal encounter and a war of attrition.

  Because of this, Li Huangtai, an old fox, dared to go out and fight, thinking that he was in a position to win and be invincible.

   If the time and scene were changed, Li Huangtai might not have made such a decisive move.

   At this moment, Liu Xiaoduo suddenly saw a waiter in his 70s or 80s with hunched back and white hair, while taking a few glances at the diners at the table next to him, he took a pen and recorded something in a notebook.

   She was very curious about this, so she asked Ye Shuhui in a low voice.

"Before 2000 on Hong Kong Island, general corporate employees except civil servants did not have pensions. The MPF system was introduced after 2000. Corporate employees paid 5% of their monthly wages, and enterprises provided 5% of their wages. The same proportion of the funds will be handed over to the MPF management department to earn interest, and you can receive this money after retirement.”

"It's only been a few years since this system was implemented, and the elderly who retired early can only go out to work. In their words, they are "stop and stop" and have to work. So you can often see people in their 70s and 80s on Hong Kong Island. Older people are still doing some work as waiters, bus and taxi drivers."

   "No fuss, the city can be without anything, but never without money."

  Liu Xiaoduo nodded lightly, and then asked in a low voice, "What is that Abo writing? Didn't you see the guests ordering food?"

   Ye Shuhui said with a smile: "Write a recipe for stock trading! Because there is no pension, many elderly people put their hope of retirement on the stock market.

There are so many diners coming and going every day in this restaurant, and it is close to Central. Maybe one day I will hear some amazing "insider" news. After making a lot of money, maybe I can really retire and stop working. ! "

   Liu Xiaoduo suddenly realized that life in this capitalist society is really dire!

  …………

  …………

   Chairman's Office on the 70th floor of Yellow River Industrial Building.

Li Yiju was reporting his work to his father Li Huangtai, and he said with a blank face: "If you count today, the total short position led by Xia Jing has invested more than 90 billion Hong Kong dollars, which makes our increase in holdings seem a little bit. Weak, taking Yellow River Industry as an example, the stock price has been suppressed below 95 Hong Kong dollars and cannot rise at all.

In addition, many of the media who were originally on our side or neutral have swayed a little, and they have begun to favor the short side, saying that the short side has prepared 150 billion and 200 billion funds, and there will be larger international shorts in the future. Arrived, making the market panic. "

Hearing this, Li Huangtai was not only not angry, but said with a smile on his face: "If I guessed correctly, it should be those three companies! They are behind the scenes and let us suffer a little, they must be happy to see it. .

   After all, the whole Hong Kong Island is so big, and our strength is damaged a little, which means that they can also get an extra bite. "

  Li Yikai nodded lightly, agreeing with his father's view.

   The other three real estate families may not do this.

   But now there are hundreds of billions of short sellers standing in the front and tossing the Li family hard. If those people don't push behind, I'm sorry for so many years of open and secret fighting.

   "Then let the media sing us down?"

  Li Huangtai smiled and spread his hands to his son, "Why stop it?

   Today's net asset per share of Yellow River Industrial is HK$98. The bears have given us a share price below HK$95. Where can we find such a good opportunity to increase our holdings?

  Which time do we increase our holdings when the stock price goes up?

   Now someone is helping us to hold down the stock price, why should we reject this kindness? "

   Hearing this, Li Yiju also laughed.

   Originally, they just wanted to teach the bears a lesson and complete a low-cost equity increase by the way.

   But as the bears have come into the market with larger amounts of money, they have a bolder plan!

   Without the help of these short sellers, I don’t know how much water it would take to complete this plan.

   "Dad, then we... and then invest another 50 billion Hong Kong dollars?" Li Yiju asked tentatively.

  Li Huangtai nodded lightly, "Xia Jingxing is more powerful than we thought. Since he is so "enthusiastic", we should not let him down."

   A bright smile appeared on Li Yiju's face, "Alright, I'll arrange it here!"

After   , he got up and wanted to leave, but was suddenly stopped by Li Huangtai.

   "After Huanghe Industrial and Lai Kee Huangpu completed the equity increase, the next step is asset restructuring and spin-off, the real estate business is classified as one company, and the non-real estate business is classified as one company.

   These two companies will be handed over to you in the future!

   Translation Kai, you are the eldest brother, let him go! "

  Li Yiju's eyes flashed with joy, what does the old man's words represent? It means that after the separation, most of the business empire will be inherited by oneself.

   And Li Yikai can only inherit a few scraps, at most the old man will compensate him with some cash.

   However, their cash is not much, and they have used it to increase their equity in the three core listed companies.

   This time the bears gave them a good assist, especially to him.

   The constant pressure on the stock price by the bears has enabled the Li family to increase their holdings of listed companies at a price close to net assets.

   After completing the increase in equity holdings, they will restructure their assets, clarify their business, and spin off their shares. The stock price and market value of each company will be much higher than they are now.

   Among them, the floating profit of the investment in the increase of equity holdings will be an astronomical figure.

  For example, the stock price of Yellow River Industrial was in the early 140 Hong Kong dollars at the beginning of the year, and now it has completed the increase of more than 90 Hong Kong dollars.

   If in the future, after the reorganization, spin-off and listing of Yellow River Industrial, the main business becomes clearer, and the company's stock price surpasses its peak at the beginning of the year and reaches HK$180 and HK$190, then it will increase its holdings by 100 billion now and make 100 billion in the future.

   If there is no large-scale attack of the bears this time, the old man is afraid that it will be difficult for the old man to go to great lengths to carry out this grand plan, and will only make plans slowly.

   Because once the corporate restructuring plan is announced, it is foreseeable that the stock prices of several core listed companies will soar to the sky, and it will be almost impossible to increase equity holdings at a low cost by then.

   Now they are accumulating in the name of hitting the bears, which can be said to be a cover that could not have been better.

   Therefore, they now wish that the media would be more badass.

   This game of chess played by the old man is very big. The Hong Kong investors, the media and the bears led by Xia Jing are just pawns in the hands of the old man.

   And let them be proud again!
