[North American sales champion, two-week champion]
[The first person in Hong Kong film history: Jackie Chan]
[Global box office grossed US$212 million]
Under the great hype of Worldwide Group, the news that "Eagle Project" starring Jackie Chan was a huge success in the North American market instantly swept the whole of Hong Kong.
The news was announced at noon, and the Hang Seng Index opened in the afternoon. The share price of Universal Group bucked the trend and rose, recovering its share price losses one after another, and breaking out of the trend that was independent of the entire market.
The market value has stabilized at 50 billion, sweeping away the haze of the morning's sharp decline and becoming the most eye-catching stock in the entire Hang Seng Index.
As the king of the Hang Seng Index, the rise in the share price of Universal Group bucked the trend and halted the downward trend of the entire market.
It can be said that because of a piece of news from Worldwide Group, HSBC’s short-selling plan, which cost 800 million US dollars to implement, was all in vain.
As the executor of this plan, Wells suddenly felt that times seemed to have changed.
HSBC, the uncrowned king, seems to have lost its unequivocal dominance in Hong Kong.
The last time he felt this way was when Bao Yugang acquired shares of Standard Chartered Bank seven years ago.
The feeling at that time should not be as strong as now, because Bao Yugang was not as decisive as Zheng Yaoyang, and he was suddenly found to be seriously ill, which also made Bao Yugang lose his ambition to continue to expand his territory.
Wells could only bite the bullet and find the CEO Stephen with the relevant information he had collected.
Stephen had just finished his lunch break and was still unaware that the market direction had changed. He asked with a smile: "Wells, how much has the stock price of Worldwide dropped? Have they started repurchasing shares?"
In his plan, as long as the Huanyu Group participates in the war, it will suit his purpose and they can start the battle in advance.
It can also consume the reserve cash flow owned by Fuxing Bank as much as possible before Xiaobawang goes public.
If they do not participate in the war, then they will short the Huanyu Group as much as possible, causing investors to lose confidence in Zheng Yaoyang, thus affecting the listing of Xiaobawang.
In other words, regardless of whether the Huanyu Group participates in the battle, they can achieve their ultimate goal.
Wells sighed and handed over the information he had just collected and compiled: "Stephen, take a look."
Stephen's optimism and confidence made him feel a sense of crisis, maybe HSBC would capsize in the gutter.
Zheng Yaoyang is not as powerful as he was two years ago. Now he is the richest man in Asia and the richest Chinese. Xiangjiang Telecom monopolizes the entire communications industry in Hong Kong. He also owns the Woodpecker Fund and the public opinion killer Universal Group.
Maybe they should swallow their arrogance, treat him as a worthy opponent, and go all out.
When Stephen saw the content of the information, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he pondered for a moment: "The short-selling plan of Huanyu has been temporarily cancelled. How is the situation at Tsingtao Beer?"
Although he is arrogant, he also knows that this good news is enough to offset the bad news in the market.
Also, they already held Huanyu shares, but they just sold them and went short by the way, so the losses were not much.
On the contrary, I bought the shares a long time ago and now sold them, making a profit of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
The only loss may be that they lose the bargaining chip to short Huanyu. If they want to short in the future, they can only choose to borrow securities from Standard Chartered Bank.
Wells said: "Mr. Huang's information has been submitted, and I heard it is still under review."
Regarding Tsingtao Beer's agency, he actually didn't have much hope, as he heard from the brewery's third-in-command.
Some time ago, as soon as they left, Wade took someone over to discuss listing matters in Hong Kong.
They had been searching for more than a month before they found this company. It was impossible for Wade to get the news so quickly.
Someone must have leaked the secret. Considering Zheng Yaoyang's closeness with the mainland, the official leakage is most likely.
The referees all came off the field to help, so what did HSBC get, and what qualifications did they have to compete with Fuxing Bank?
Stephen's face gradually darkened, and it seemed that this plan could only fail.
Because Fuxing Bank is almost hand-picked by the mainland, it is the only channel for mainland companies to list in Hong Kong.
Stephen thought for a long time and then ordered: "Then change the strategy and spend 50 billion to short the Hang Seng Index. I would like to see if Zheng Yaoyang will turn a blind eye."
Wells opened his eyes wide and couldn't help but ask: "Stephen, have you considered the consequences if the plan fails? Have you reported this to the headquarters?"
He could understand Stephen's intention to short the entire Hang Seng Index and forcefully drag La Fuxing Bank into the battlefield.
As long as Zheng Yaoyang does not take the initiative, the Hang Seng Index will usher in a man-made stock market crash.
Under the influence of the stock market crash, no matter how good the performance of Xiaobawang's individual stocks is, it will inevitably be affected by the market environment.
Wells does not doubt that HSBC has the ability to do this. The latest total value of the Hang Seng Index is 1.2 trillion Hong Kong dollars. They hold stocks worth nearly 200 billion Hong Kong dollars, so they are qualified to do it.
But once they do this, even if they win Fuxing Bank, they will kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.
Most of the bank's net worth is in the financial market. The sharp drop in the Hang Seng Index means that their interests have been harmed, and they will have to pay more if they want to enter the Hang Seng Index in the future.
The most critical point is if Zheng Yaoyang chooses to accept the move and take over the stocks they sold.
They will lose important chips in their hands, and at the same time, Fuxing Bank will gain a foothold in the Hang Seng Index.
After all, Fuxing Bank undertook IPOs and actively promoted mainland companies to list in Hong Kong. Their original intention was to enter the Hang Seng Index with cheap chips.
Whatever Stephen is doing now, it seems to be the work of an insider, and his behavior is very irrational.
Stephen's face was gloomy and he shouted coldly: "Wells, this is not something you should be concerned about. I will personally explain the situation to the headquarters."
It's not like he hasn't considered Wells' concerns, but that's just the worst case scenario.
The majesty of the British Empire cannot be offended. If Zheng Yaoyang cannot be suppressed forcefully this time, Li Yaoyang, Guo Yaoyang, and a lot of people will appear in the future.
It is necessary to kill one person as a warning to others!
Wells hesitated to speak, but saw Stephen's determined look: "Okay, I will execute it immediately."
If they don't interfere with Fuxing Bank's plan, let Xiaobawang go public with peace of mind.
The worst-case scenario in the future is that Hong Kong will present a bipolar situation, just like the current world structure, the Soviet Union and the United States, and the banking industry will still respect them.
Even if Xiangjiang returns six years later, they will at most share the entire Xiangjiang market with Bank of China, or even occupy a dominant position.
After all, they are local snakes, and the Bank of China is also worried that rash reforms will hurt the feelings of the people in both places.
But Stephen chose to do this. If he fails accidentally, it will shake the foundation of HSBC and may lose its dominance.
In order to defeat Fuxing, Stephen is putting HSBC's future on the gambling table. In his opinion, he has lost his mind.
Wells didn't try to persuade him, and he didn't even think of making a report to Daiying's headquarters. If the leader didn't make mistakes, how could his subordinates get ahead?
Tuesday, April 22nd.
Driven by Huanyu yesterday, the Hang Seng Index bottomed out and rebounded as a whole, without causing too serious a decline.
The strong rise in the share price of Huanyu Group has also made many people look forward to Xiaobawang's lottery draw on the 29th.
I Roadshow freezes the funds 20 times, which also means that each subscription fund has a 1/20 chance of winning.
The investors who subscribed are very optimistic. Judging from the current strength of Huanyu and Zheng Yaoyang's reputation, as long as he can win the lottery, the profit will be more than 30 points.
So much so that the market has begun to purchase subscription contracts at a premium of 10%. Regardless of whether you win the lottery or not, the subscription contract will be purchased for 1,100 a piece.
In this peaceful and quiet atmosphere, at nine o'clock in the morning, the Hang Seng Index opened again.
It seems that Black Monday has been safely passed, and Hang Seng Index investors are ushering in Black Tuesday again in the blink of an eye.
Yesterday, Global stocks fell, causing the market price to fall, so today it is exactly the opposite.
The Hang Seng Index plunged -4.5% at the opening, and in just a few minutes, market outflows amounted to HK$30 billion.
It hit the 4530 points reached in one year and fell below 4300 points. There seemed to be no support below.
The K-line chart of the market is like diving. It has been falling straight from the opening of the market without any obstacles, breaking through the defense lines that should have existed one after another.
Except for Huanyu, which started sideways, almost all stocks suddenly jumped short, with an average decline of -5%.
Black Tuesday suddenly arrived, leaving no one with time to react.
