My Age of Investment

Chapter 1559: double the happiness

  After a lingering night, Ivanka, with a full harvest, set off on her way home alone.

  It is very convenient for her to return to the United States, because Xia Jingxing gave her a private jet two years ago, and then she leased it to Vision Home Company. Airplanes are used as a means of transportation for executives. All personnel expenses, maintenance, downtime expenses, and even leasing expenses are naturally borne by the company. Not to mention the white whoring of the airplane, there are still tens of millions of dollars in rent for her to use as pocket money every year. .

  Because I didn't sleep well all night, Ivanka was mentally exhausted, and Ivanka, who had a sore waist and weak legs, started to catch up on sleep as soon as she got on the plane.

  On the other side, Xia Jingxing, who felt his body had been hollowed out, was still sound asleep, not even knowing that Ivanka was gone.

  At noon, Xia Jingxing, who was still recuperating on the bed, was woken up by the phone ringing again and again.

   Sleepily, he stretched out an arm from under the quilt, touched the mobile phone on the bedside table, and connected the call.

   "What? A natural disaster occurred in the small days?"

  Hearing Liu Xiaoduo's anxious voice on the other end of the phone, Xia Jingxing woke up instantly, and hung up the phone after a few simple explanations.

  It took half a minute to get dressed, and a few more minutes to wash up. Xia Jingxing hurriedly went downstairs, and then quickly boarded a car arranged by Zhang Chenguang and Liu Xiaoduo.

   Xia Jingxing was not idle on the road, he made five or six phone calls in a row and made some emergency arrangements.

   Soon, the car arrived at the Raffles Place financial district where there are many buildings.

The office of Vision Capital in Singapore is located here. It is also an old neighbor with investment banks and commercial banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered, and Citigroup, which have branches in several buildings around them. It is more convenient to do business transactions. .

  When Xia Jingxing got off the car and took the elevator to the 49th floor of Raffles Place Tower 1, the tallest building in Singapore, all the employees in the office on the entire floor had already finished their lunch break and entered an extremely busy working state.

  Everyone was so busy, either watching the market or making phone calls, they didn't even notice that the big boss came to the company.

  Xia Jingxing glanced casually, then left satisfied, and entered a meeting room.

   "It was a miserable day this time. The Japan Meteorological Agency initially determined that it was a magnitude 7.9 earthquake! At first glance, it was devastated and ruins were everywhere."

   "It's not just an earthquake, the Meteorological Agency has issued an urgent tsunami warning. I don't know how many people will be affected this time."

  "You have all overlooked one point. The Fukushima industrial area where the nuclear power plant is located is also a disaster-stricken area. Now the whole world is staring at Japan, and is very worried that the "Chernobyl of Asia" will erupt."

   "Fuck, nuclear radiation won't affect Singapore, right?"

   "Should... maybe... no, it's hard to say. I heard that the people in mainland China have started to stockpile salt."

   "What are you doing with salt? Can it protect against radiation?"

  “I heard that seawater pollution will lead to reductions in salt production and suspension of production.”

   "The sea is so wide, can't it be?"

  …

  A group of senior executives in Singapore were discussing the earthquake and its aftermath without even noticing that Xia Jing walked into the room.

  When they turned their heads and saw that Xia Jingxing was already standing at the door, they were all stunned and their expressions became a little embarrassed. …

  However, Xia Jingxing didn't criticize them for not doing their jobs properly. Instead, he walked quickly to the screen, looked carefully at the "map of ruins after the earthquake", and then said: "The discussions were so vigorous, but none of them got to the point."

   Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing quickly turned around and looked at the group of executives sharply, "Immediately, immediately check the market conditions of the Tokyo Stock Exchange."

   After receiving the order, a group of people immediately started to act on their backs.

   Soon, a large amount of financial data was gathered in front of Xia Jingxing.

  Nikkei 225 Index fell 1.72% to 10254.43 points;

  Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.79%;

  London's FTSE 100 index fell 0.28%;

  Paris 40 index fell 0.89%;

  Frankfurt DAX index fell 1.16%;

  …

  Placing down the report in his hand, Xia Jingxing frowned slightly, it's not normal for the index to drop so much.

  Especially the Japanese stock market did not collapse...

He soon found out the reason. The Tokyo Stock Exchange closed at 3:00 p.m. local time, that is, it closed 14 minutes after the earthquake. Due to information transmission and the impact and loss of the earthquake to be assessed, most investors still Failed to respond in time...

   Not long after, Liu Xiaoduo walked into the office and informed Xia Jingxing to hold a meeting.

  As soon as the conference system was connected, Ye Shuhui was the first to report on the capital movement of the Hong Kong office.

   "All the US$5 billion special funds were used to short Japanese individual stocks and indexes. Some time ago, there were a lot of floating losses. Fortunately, I didn't choose to stop the loss. Finally, I waited..."

  Ye Shuhui's gaze in the video screen was a bit complicated, because she didn't know what to say at the moment.

  Who would have expected such a big thing to happen in a small day?

  Xia Jingxing ordered her to spend 60% of the funds in the Hong Kong office to short Japan a few months ago.

  Her performance is at the bottom of the company, and her Hong Kong team manages the least funds. Naturally, she has no right to speak, and she can do whatever the boss tells her to do.

   As a result, shortly after entering the market, I fell into a big somersault. Some time ago, the highest floating loss once exceeded 2 billion US dollars, and I almost couldn't stand it anymore.

  Affected by the global economic recovery recently, the fundamentals of the Japanese economy have also been improving. Under such circumstances, the shorted Nikkei 225 Index and some individual stocks are rebounding and rising strongly.

  That's why Ye Shuhui doesn't understand the boss's approach. It's fine to short some individual stocks, even the index. How pessimistic is this for the Japanese economy?

  Because Xia Jingxing didn't explain too much to her, she repeatedly persuaded Xia Jingxing some time ago to just stop the loss and let it go.

  Xia Jingxing naturally didn't listen, after all he knew that small days would lead to big things.

  But because he couldn't remember the exact time when the earthquake occurred, he only arranged for Ye Shuhui and a team to short Japan.

  After a brief report on work, Ye Shuhui didn't speak any more. She sat in her office in Hong Kong Central and quietly watched Xia Jingxing on the screen, as if she wanted to find out some "insider information" from his face.

  She doesn't really believe that the boss can predict the foresight, predicting an earthquake in Japan, guessing that there may be hidden news that she doesn't know.

  Xia Jingxing couldn't explain this matter, and there was no need to explain it. After taking a light look at Ye Shuhui, he asked Jiang Ping to report to work. …

"Because of the sudden incident, part of our team's funds were invested in the European market, and part of it was in other currency trading markets. It was too late to withdraw, so we only had time to buy 500 million U.S. dollars worth of Japanese yen, converted into Japanese yen, about 41.5 billion .”

  "According to common sense, such a catastrophic event has occurred in Japan, and the economy has been hit hard, and the yen will depreciate."

  “However, Japan is a special country. Earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters occur frequently. Everyone is used to it. As long as the islands do not sink, it will not be long before the reconstruction after the disaster, and the economy and market confidence will gradually recover.”

  “Our team referred to a real-life case. After the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, the Japanese government, insurance companies and residents redeemed a large number of overseas assets to meet the post-disaster reconstruction funding needs.”

  "International investors at that time also knew about Japan's hidden overseas strength, so it was generally expected that the return of a large amount of overseas funds would make the yen appreciate, so they were aggressively long the yen."

  …

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. Jiang Ping did not make a wrong judgment. The little days were indeed going well. Even if such a big disaster happened, the yen would not plummet if only some money was brought back from overseas. Under the manipulation of the currency, there will also be currency appreciation.

   Then, Li Yaozu and Zhao Peng also reported their respective team's financial trends.

  The two teams are not slow to move, investing 750 million and 700 million US dollars in Japan's stock market and foreign exchange market respectively.

  Combining Ye Shuhui and Jiang Ping, the four trading teams of Vision Capital have already presented Xiaotian with a gift package worth 7 billion US dollars.

   Seeing that the four people had handled the earthquake well, Xia Jingxing didn't give too many instructions, but simply explained a few points.

   "It is estimated that the Bank of Japan will soon start a new round of quantitative easing monetary policy. After all, if the exchange rate rises too high, it will affect the normal export of Japanese goods."

   "Stock market volatility may be a little longer, but it won't last too long."

   "In addition, a large amount of international speculative capital will go to Japan to join in the fun, so the time left for us to operate is very limited. Everyone seizes the opportunity, withdraws after a wave, and don't let others take the back."

  Speaking of this, Xia Jingxing thought for a while and said a few more words: "The last time Envision Capital hunted the global capital market, it only missed Japan.

   This time, we must not miss it anyway, and must fill in the missing piece of the map. "

  This reason...is a bit strong, and the four people have different reactions after hearing it.

For example, Jiang Ping and Zhao Peng were very excited when they heard this, because they are both from the mainland, and naturally they don’t have a good impression of Xiaotian. If they can give Xiaotian a try, they will gain more than money and material things. Pleasure, and a kind of spiritual pleasure, can be called double happiness!

  While Li Yaozu and Ye Shuhui grew up on Hong Kong Island, their education... can only be said to be indescribable, and they don't have that kind of strong, deep-rooted hostility towards their childhood.

  Ye Shuhui always felt that the boss was not telling the truth, and asked her to lurk in Japan a few months in advance. Could it be that it was just to get revenge on Japan and add another shiny big empty medal to Envision Capital?

  The more she thought about it, the more complicated and unfathomable it became, so she simply stopped thinking about it. If she had time, she might as well analyze the market dynamics and inquire about Japan's economic losses, so as to adjust the trading strategy in time.
