Chapter 107 Money is not important, confidence is important
While Gu Kun was thinking hard about how to pursue the enemy, his enemies were obviously more sleepless than him.
Including real enemies worthy of being remembered by Gu Kun, such as Soros.
It also includes those little shrimps who were not worthy of Gu Kun knowing about their existence, such as Kong Shangzhong - before Liang Jinsong mentioned it, Gu Kun didn't even realize that Kong Shangzhong was so short-sighted and became a local short seller in this round of Hong Kong dollar and Hong Kong stock crisis.
Send a representative.
May 1st is a common holiday all over the world. In 1998, May Day happened to be another Friday, so all walks of life in Hong Kong could take three consecutive days off until the 3rd.
People in the capital circle dare to completely relax their attention to the market. Even if the exchange is closed, everyone is frantically searching for inside information and spreading inside information, hoping that when the market reopens in three days, the market will move in the direction they expect.
direction.
Especially those who spread insider information. Many people have planned their positions in advance, and then spread targeted false news that is beneficial to their positions, so that the traders can become cannon fodder for their vanguard.
Kong Shangzhong is no exception.
Early that morning, Kong Shangzhong got up from his wife, smoked one cigar after another, and was thinking about how to combine current events with some fresh and hot fake news to prove that the bulls had insufficient financial stamina.
The woman on his bed is nothing more than an ordinary local supermodel in Xiangjiang. Because Kong Shangzhong is a local luxury tycoon in Xiangjiang, his jewelry, luggage and clothing brands will always need many female models for endorsements and advertisements, so starting from the supermodel
It has become part of his life customs to find women by hooking up with each other.
During the Thai baht crisis last year, Kong Shangzhong, due to luck and his professional judgment, happened to bet against the Thai baht together with Gu Kun and Soros, and became a star figure among local investors in Hong Kong, earning the most (Gu Kun is not a Hong Kong native)
.And if he hadn't finally believed in Gu Kun's "value investment" smoke bomb, which made him timid and give up, he could have earned more.
Therefore, from then on, he lamented that he was not greedy enough. From then on, he felt that Gu Kun was hypocritical and deceitful, and it was more reliable to follow Soros.
However, before the Hong Kong dollar crisis, Soros also knew that Gu Kun might be against him, and wanted to find some lackeys in Hong Kong to increase the total funds of the short side. After identifying it for a while, he noticed that Kong Shangzhong could do it for him.
What he used.
Of course, with Soros's status and pretentiousness, he would definitely not personally extend an olive branch to such a small fish and shrimp with a capital of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The twists and turns are difficult to describe, but in short, it depends on Soros's Ma Zai.
, some non-famous bankers on Wall Street recruited Kong Shangzhong to the Somali side through matchmaking.
For Kong Shangzhong, being able to be informed in advance by Soros's people and provide insider information to advance and retreat together and make money together is simply pie in the sky. So before the end of this year, he had already started to follow the trend and build short positions, accumulating
The principal invested is as high as more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars——
When the Thai baht was in crisis, he invested only 2 to 3 billion Hong Kong dollars, but that was not all of his property at the time, and some were added later.
Because the Thai baht crisis broke out relatively accidentally, Kong Shangzhong did not make all preparations in advance and was not so determined to invest all his family property.
The principal amount at that time eventually became more than 5 billion Hong Kong dollars after huge profits. Later, the Philippine peso followed the trend and increased slightly by a few percent.
And this time, the principal of more than 8 billion Hong Kong dollars is All-in, and even higher leverage is required. This is the real flow of the whole family.
Kong Shangzhong knew that the opportunity to make money in such a big crisis would never come again in his life, so he invested all his wealth in it, hoping that this time he would become a wealthy family as famous as the four major families in Hong Kong.
Give it a try and turn your bicycle into a motorcycle.

"Liang Jinsong and others' pace of pulling up the market has completely slowed down last week. Half a month ago, they were able to pull up more than 200 points a day. Last week, it was reduced to a draw of dozens of points a day of fine-tuning, with shocks in between.
According to the scale of funds shown by Liang Jinsong before, it should not be that he has run out of money, but that madman Gu Kun really wants to kill Soros and wants to save the final funds for promotion until mid-June before taking over...
What a madman. But how can I take advantage of this situation and lie that they don’t have enough money? Even if it’s not true, as long as Xiao San believes it, the truth won’t matter.”
Kong Shangzhong thought about it carefully and felt that he had vaguely grasped a trend that could be manipulated in the near future. He was going to start doing this during the three days of the May Day holiday and slander as much as he could.
However, while he was making some random calculations, changes came faster than he imagined.
The phone on his desk rang, waking up the woman next to him.
The woman was about to act coquettishly, but Kong Shangzhong had a serious look on his face and immediately turned down his face and drove the woman away.
It turns out that his phone is an encrypted phone, and anyone who calls this number is very confidential, so he doesn't use his cell phone to contact him for some matters.
After he picked up the call, he remembered a familiar voice on the other end of the phone. It was a confidant of Soros who had been responsible for contacting Kong Shangzhong.
"Mr. Charles, do you have any instructions?" Kong Shangzhong asked cautiously.
"Gu Kun has several hundred million US dollars in new capital, which will be injected into the Xiangjiang financial market in the near future. He should have prepared a lot of publicity measures. The old man wants you to be responsible for building momentum in Xiangjiang to expose Gu Kun's high profile and let the people know the truth.
, knowing that the money will not do much good."
"Gu Kun has injected another several hundred million in capital?" Kong Shangzhong subconsciously felt frightened.
"What? Haven't you even paid attention to the most basic information? It's such a shame for the old man to recruit you into his gang..." The other party forcefully suppressed the words "wrong decision". After all, the Brittany still couldn't speak.
Pay too much attention to word choice.
All in all, before Kong Shangzhong had his turn to take the initiative to trouble Gu Kun, his own troubles came first.
After hanging up the phone, he had to quickly find out what was going on.
It turns out that Gu Kun's operation of salvaging valuable sunken ships in Indonesian territorial waters and selling the "Isakov" did not immediately disclose all the information to the public. There was a time lag in this.
The more important reason is that Gu Kun knows how to set the rhythm, so every rhythm element must be thrown out just right when the market begins to waver and the question "is the long money enough?" begins to be doubted.
Because Leek traders are forgetful and if they bring it up too far in advance, the other party might forget about it. Or they might think, "Although the bulls have a new wave of money coming in, they were crazy to add positions at that time, so it won't be the case."
I guess I ran out of money in that wave of increasing positions."
And raising it after the other party has already wavered is enough to prove that "these are new money and have not been spent yet."
Kong Shangzhong made a brief investigation and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
"Although a few hundred million is a small amount of money, it is too topical. It is either side projects involving arms gimmicks or shipwrecks for treasure hunts. The key is that the Indonesians' coward methods provide too much room for association."
Kong Shangzhong's intelligence channels are of course much stronger than those of ordinary male citizens. If he collects carefully, he can also find many additional in-depth interpretations.
Taking Gu Kun's previous salvage of a sunken ship in Indonesian territorial waters worth 200 million US dollars as an example, Kong Shangzhong detected a dangerous signal:
A week ago, the Indonesians had actually notified the Lancang side privately and lodged a protest.
Then, three days ago, Ms. Tang Jia, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lanzhou, officially responded and provided some quibbles.
Of course Kong Shangzhong knows that, in fact, it must be more than just sophistry, there must be other transactions or transfers of interests (this is just a wild guess made by Kong Shangzhong's despicable and dark mind)
The key point is that yesterday, Indonesia tactfully stated that the matter was over and did not want to harm the overall situation of unity among ASEAN countries during this sensitive period.
What does this mean? This shows that even Indonesians have temporarily shown that they "put aside their personal grudges for the time being, so as not to cause trouble for Gu Kun to use any means to make money to fight against Soros."
The hatred Soros caused by shorting the Thai baht, ringgit, Philippine peso, and Indonesian rupiah is in danger of bursting out, and all countries are making it easier for Gu Kun to raise money.
Maybe this little money is nothing, but the confidence this gesture brings to the bulls is terrifying.
If this matter is made public in the news, Gu Kun bribes a few stock analysts with bad money to interpret it without conscience, so that Xiao San, who originally couldn't understand the meaning of it, can understand it, and implants "
With so many countries sharing the same hatred in the Hong Kong stock market and secretly supporting Gu Kun’s concept behind their backs, the problem becomes even more difficult.
"How do you pour cold water on this idea?"
Kong Shangzhong had to use all his connections and start planning separately to pour cold water.
First of all, Gu Kun's sale of the "Isakov" seems unlikely to be replicated in the short term. However, in order to show off its muscles as a short-seller, it is still okay to show a punishment gesture as an afterthought.
For example, Soros can be asked to personally bribe some second-rate congressmen from Oceania or other Western countries who have bad money, and propose a review of the export business of the Black Klansmen. Or they can find some Turkish politicians who have bad money and use waterway safety as an excuse.
In the name of suppressing Heklan’s subsequent ship exports.
The effect is not important, the status is the most important. If Liao Cai can't understand it, Kong Shangzhong can also find a stock analyst with bad money to interpret it to the extent that Liao Cai can understand it.
As for Gu Kun's new progress in the field of shipwreck salvage, it is not easy to block. People don't know how much data Gu Kun has accumulated in the past few years while doing the seabed topography exploration business in Southeast Asia, and how much of the seabed can be recovered in the short term.
Realized treasure.
"However, whether Indonesians, Vietnamese, or Filipinos, they can't openly engage in double standards, right? Since they are currently choosing to turn a blind eye and relax their hands, they should
Everyone, please relax, otherwise you will lose face.
Why don't I look for any pro-Western shipwreck thieves who are taking advantage of the financial difficulties in Southeast Asian countries to grab business from Gu Kun? How much you grab is not the key, the key is to dilute Gu Kun's reputation in the public opinion front
The topicality of the field.”
Kong Shangzhong decided to use his own money to sponsor some international thieves to dilute the field's over-interpretation of Gu Kun's gains.
