As time went by, major media outlets in Hong Kong reported extensively on Mrs. Thatcher’s arrival in the capital. Even the meals Mrs. Thatcher had in the capital were written up in many newspapers.
On September 24, just before noon, some media accompanying Xiangjiang came back with a piece of news that made many people unable to sit still.
Today is Friday again. As soon as the stock market opened in the afternoon, the stocks of major companies plummeted. Even Li Guangyu's Jiayi Group and Kowloon Bus Company did not escape this fate.
Li Guangyu came to Tianyu Investment Securities Company when he was working in the afternoon and learned in detail how much money had been used in the past twenty days.
The stock market is like a large casino, especially in terms of futures. During this period, Li Guangyu was short-selling, and many securities companies were doing long-selling, especially some financial institutions in Japan and Southeast Asia.
In the dispute over the Falklands, Britain and Argentina forced Argentina to surrender in just a dozen days. Their prestige was unparalleled, as if this once empire on which the sun never sets has regained its former glory in this short period of time.
It's a pity that their judgment was wrong. The mainland will never give up the sovereignty of Xiangjiang. No matter who it is faced with, no matter what means are used, Xiangjiang must be taken back. Even if the British come with the residual power of their victory over Argentina, they will not.
use.
This time Mrs. Thatcher stumbled in Beijing, which not only broke the confidence of Britain, but also hurt the hearts of European, American, Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian securities companies.
This time it is not just the Li Group that is shorting the Hong Kong stock market, China Investment Corporation, Ho Investment Company, Bank of East Asia and Hong Kong Asian Commercial Bank also have a lot of capital inflows.
This time, the Xiangjiang British Capital Group did not come out to take over the orders themselves. Only the two major banks took over some short orders in accordance with the wishes of the customers.
This time, heavy orders mainly appeared in Formosa First Commercial Bank, Singapore's DBS Bank, Citibank in the United States, Japan's Sanwa Bank and Fuji Bank. Some independent securities companies also received a lot of short orders.
After listening to Sun Jianping's report, Li Guangyu couldn't help but lament how much impact England's victory over Argentina had on improving their prestige.
Originally, Li Guangyu estimated that he would not be able to take a large share this time. After all, without the Xiangjiang British Capital Group to take over, it would be difficult to make as much money as last year.
It's just that this time many foreign forces and investors believe in the strength of Britain. They believe that the mainland government will succumb to the strong power of Britain, just like Argentina in South America.
As long as the British can continue to rule Hong Kong, then Hong Kong can continue to maintain its current state, and the stock market will not show a downward trend.
They feel that this time the Xiangjiang Li Group and these Chinese-funded families support the mainland in taking back Xiangjiang, otherwise they would not do so at this time, and these Chinese-owned families obviously have illusions about the strength of the mainland.
These investment companies analyzed the current strength of the mainland and Britain, and based on the calculation of Britain's ability to solve the problem of Argentina's Falklands in just half a month, Britain's chances of winning this time are very high. They believe that the mainland will definitely do it for the development of its own economy.
Make concessions.
Therefore, even if Li Guangyu became famous in the stock market last year, they do not believe that Li Guangyu will be so lucky this time. Instead, this time is their opportunity to weaken the strength of the Xiangjiang Huazi family.
The Huazi families in Xiangjiang have grown too fast in recent years, and with the market of more than one billion people behind them, these families in Xiangjiang will definitely have an advantage over them. If these families suffer a big loss this time, they will be able to delay the development.
Sustain their years of development, weaken their advantage in the mainland, and provide help for their own forces to enter.
It's a pity that these powerful people are regretting it very much at the moment. The mainland is not Argentina. Even if the people in the country are not rich now, Xiangjiang will never give up. Regardless of the strength of any country, Xiangjiang must return to the mainland.
Leaders will not let the country's territory wander outside.
This time Tianyu Investment Company still used 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in cash and five times leverage last night, with a total of 50 billion Hong Kong dollars in short orders. The remaining 4 billion Hong Kong dollars were used to cover positions. Li Guangyu was quite conservative in this regard.
, unless the stock suddenly doubled, his position would be liquidated, and he would have enough cash to cover his position.
What Li Guangyu didn't expect was that the company that took over his largest short order this time was actually Singapore's DBS Bank (Singapore Development Bank). This is Singapore's state-owned bank. This bank alone has taken away 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The short orders exceeded 1/5 of all Li Guangyu’s short orders.
Li Guangyu didn't know whether it was his bank's own investment, or whether some families in Singapore were doing long positions in the Hong Kong stock market through DBS Bank.
Ranked second is Citibank, a bank that has existed in Hong Kong for nearly a century. It has always been the largest financial institution in the United States. Many banking services in the United States and Hong Kong are conducted through Citibank.
operate.
As the royal bank of the Rockefeller family and the flagship of the First Citibank consortium, this time they also accepted a short order of HK$1,000 million. This amount of money is really nothing to this consortium.
As one of the eastern consortiums, the Citigroup has been very active in these years, and Li Guangyu's ally, the California Consortium, is the leader in competing with the eastern consortium. I don't know if Citibank did this randomly or deliberately started it.
Targeting the Li Group.
Ranked third is Standard Chartered Bank, a bank headquartered in London. This time, not only some British forces, but also some Western European forces have entered the Hong Kong stock market through them.
England's victory over Argentina gave them great confidence. They believed that the Hong Kong issue would be very easy for England and would not have much impact on Hong Kong. This time they also took over the 9.5 billion Hong Kong dollar short order from the Lee Consortium.
.
Later, Sanhe Bank also took over the short order of HK$7 billion from the Lee Consortium. As for Baodao First Commercial Bank, it took over the short order of HK$2 billion from the Lee Consortium. Among the remaining 9.5 billion short orders, HSBC
They took 5 billion short orders, and their main source of funds were some local families in Southeast Asia. As for the short orders of other funds, they were taken by some securities investment companies in Hong Kong.
At the same time, at Xiangjiang China Investment Company, several shareholders also raised HK$2 billion to enter the company based on their shares. The leverage was consistent with that used by the Li Group, and they had already established an internal securities department.
On the Ho Investment Company side, Li Guangyu, Luo Decheng and several He companies also raised 1 billion Hong Kong dollars to enter the market based on shares. In addition, Stanley Ho invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars alone and asked He Investment Company to operate the stock market together. He also chose five times.
lever.
Li Guangyu knew from the order he placed this time that there must be forces who wanted to wipe out all of them in one fell swoop. This time, the short orders of the two major investment companies were also wiped out.
As long as Li Guangyu makes a mistake in judgment this time, not only will the Li Consortium suffer heavy losses this time, but so will his allies. And more importantly, if something goes wrong this time, it is unlikely that the forces will pounce on him and teach the Li Consortium and his allies a lesson.
, such as Carrefour, and Wal-Mart.
These two major markets have struggled to move forward in Asia and cannot enter the Asian market at all. Once they entered, they were squeezed out by the Hengyu City Group through various means.
