After a weekend of rest, anxious investors faced a test.
At this time, international hedge funds are still closely focused on the Hong Kong dollar, so they are bound to continue to attack in the new week. Moreover, they are also spreading some negative news in the media, which can be said to be well-planned.
What is very surprising is that some negative public opinions are directed at Lam Cho Fai's five listed companies; unfortunately, the heads of international hedge funds have no idea of Lam Cho Fai's influence among Hong Kong citizens, so they can only use the term "legendary figure"
' to describe it, so the adverse news against Lin Zuhui's five listed companies is actually not very effective.
Then, it is foreseeable that in the new week, the five listed companies of Lam, which account for 18% of Xiangjiang's market value, will be firmly nailed to the Hang Seng Index like a nail board.
On Monday, the Hong Kong stock market fell 450 points to close at 11,600 points due to short selling by international hedge funds.
That evening, Soros and several hedge fund heads gathered again in a Central office building.
In the conference room, a dozen foreigners were discussing how to destroy Xiangjiang's finance. They were undoubtedly as arrogant as 'colonists'.
Of course, some hedge fund leaders lamented: "The Asian Tigers are indeed much more powerful than the Asian Tigers. Singapore is the toughest nut to crack in Southeast Asia. I didn't expect that Hong Kong is not easy to mess with either."
This is correct. Singapore’s financial sector has not collapsed due to its deep government interference. It can only be said that it cannot be alone. After all, several other countries in Southeast Asia have surrendered.
Soros immediately said: "Wrong, big mistake, Xiangjiang's 'linked exchange rate' is full of loopholes, we will definitely defeat Xiangjiang Finance. Tomorrow is the decisive battle, we will suppress the Hang Seng Index to below 10,000 points, and penetrate the investors of Xiangjiang
psychological defense line. We don’t have much time. By the end of tomorrow, we have to move to South Korea to prepare to defeat South Korea’s finance. That is a very important part. Our Wall Street has always been very restricted in South Korea. This time it will definitely
To succeed, let South Korea completely open its financial door."
Someone asked: "What about the Hong Kong dollar?"
Soros said: "It depends on tomorrow! Of course, even if we cannot defeat the Hong Kong dollar tomorrow, we will still have many opportunities in the future. After all, we have shattered the confidence of the Hong Kong people, and we will not let us slaughter them in the future!"
"Haha" everyone laughed.
Yes, once the market panics and people lose their confidence, then hedge funds like them are like no one's land and can destroy whatever they want.
The meeting was very short, and everyone dispersed. They would not take a break, because there were various small and medium-sized organizations under them that would also communicate, so that they could concentrate their efforts on wreaking havoc.
........
The next day.
The Hong Kong stock market has indeed faced its biggest test. International hedge funds launched a fierce attack. This attack was even more fierce than last Thursday.
So the Hang Seng Index is facing a real test. Many people are considering one thing: whether it will fall to the psychological defense line of 10,000 points; but at present, this seems unlikely. After all, it closed at 11,600 points yesterday, a full 1,600 points.
The point index is really too exaggerated.
Huazhi Center, Lin Family Office.
Li Hao looked at the display screen on the wall nervously and excitedly. He actually hoped that the price would fall below 10,500 points, because then he could buy. At this time, several employees were also looking at the display screen nervously.
Today, the family office has made appointments with Octopus Bank, Barings Bank, and Octopus Securities to make markets, and is just waiting for the signal from the family office.
2:15 p.m.
“Manager, it’s already 10490 points!”
Li Hao was already listless. Because international hedge funds were weak, the Hang Seng Index never fell below 10,500.
Now that he heard this nice voice, he immediately said: "Notify me and buy it immediately!"
"Yes." Several staff members became excited again, finally waiting to show off their skills.
.......
At this time, the international hedge funds finally saw a glimmer of light. It was too hard today. They almost exhausted their efforts, and now they have only dropped more than 1,100 points. This has already set a record.
However, the market is about to close, is there still hope below 10,000 points?
Everyone looked at the stocks of five of the listed companies and couldn't help but look weird. Others were down more than 10%, but the stocks of these five companies fell by about 2%.
Soros is also paying attention to stocks. Although the goal of international hedge funds is the Hong Kong dollar, the Hong Kong index and Hong Kong stocks are also two of them.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but focus on Hong Kong stocks because they wanted to defeat the stock god.
"Down, down, down," Soros looked at the Hang Seng Index on his computer and muttered to himself.
If he can defeat Lin Zuhui, he feels that he can go to South Korea happily. And his criterion for defeating Lin Zuhui is to penetrate 10,000 points of psychological defense today.
"Boss, there's a lot of buying in Hong Kong stocks, and they're rising instead of falling!" the assistant hurried in and said in shock.
Soros looked at the Hang Seng Index on the computer, heard the voice of his assistant, and couldn't help but said: "There are still a lot of buying orders at this time, who are they? Is it those retail investors?"
The assistant said: "Could it be that one?"
Soros thought for a while and said uncertainly: "Probably not. From his perspective, what is the purpose of buying Hong Kong stocks at this time? Let alone defending the Hong Kong stock market, you must know that the more it falls, the more he will make by bargain hunting.
.”
In his mind, he thinks that all businessmen should be like him, only focusing on profits.
As everyone knows, Lin Zuhui regards Xiangjiang as his base camp and does not allow immeasurable consequences to occur.
.......
In the lobby of a securities company, many investors were also nervously looking at the display screen.
"There is a large amount of buying, and it is impossible to penetrate 10,000 points!" the savvy investor exclaimed.
"Yes, it seems that 10,500 points is a watershed. As long as it falls below 10,500 points, it will soon overtake it!" A keen investor discovered this problem.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "So what are you waiting for? The best opportunity to buy the bottom is here!" An investor said excitedly, and then walked towards the staff.
For a time, as the market closed, a large number of retail investors' buying orders appeared.
In the end, it closed at 10,860 points that day. Although it fell by 750 points, the situation at the end of the day gave many people hope for a technical rebound tomorrow.
An interesting phenomenon that day was that the Hong Kong stock market fell by 1,000 points at one time due to attacks by international speculators, which caused the global stock market to fall. In turn, the decline in the global stock market affected the Hong Kong stock market to fall, which resulted in the Hong Kong stock market falling by a maximum of 1,150 points.
This is one reason why the 10,500-point defense line was penetrated.
.......
New Era Group.
In the office, Lin Zuhui received Li Hao, who came from Huazhi Center.
"Boss, I bought 2.05 billion Hong Kong dollars today."
Lin Zuhui said: "Well, it seems that international hedge funds are going to 'retire without success'. I just don't know if they will continue to attack this year."
Li Hao asked tentatively: "Then do we want to buy part of the funds?"
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "No buying, our defensive line this year is 10,500 points; and, as long as international speculators do not attack, we will not buy even if it falls below 10,500. After all, the situation in South Korea and Japan is still unclear.
, buying hastily is not a good choice.”
Li Hao nodded and said, "Okay, I will pay attention to the situation and report to you at any time!"
After Li Hao left, Lin Zuhui also fell into thinking.
In the previous life, it should have penetrated the 10,000-point defense line (9150 points) at this time, but there are many 'unexpected' factors in this life. First of all, the size of the Xiangjiang stock market has also become larger. For example, the highest point this year should have been 16,600 points, but in this life it is
It reached 17,200 points, an increase of five to six hundred points.
Assuming that Lin Zuhui does not interfere at all, that is, his companies do not issue announcements, then the Hang Seng Index may also penetrate 10,000 points today.
After Lin Zuhui's five listed groups issued announcements, even if the family office does not interfere today, they will not penetrate 10,000 points. International speculators think too highly of themselves.
In short, today's closing price is 10,860 points, which is theoretically more than 1,500 points higher than history.
Next, Lin Zuhui predicts that there will be another rebound. In short, this year, it will not appear below 10,500 points. It is not impossible to close at 12,000 points by the end of the year.
There will be another wave of international speculators' offensive in January next year. At that time, Lin Zuhui will only ask his family office to hold 10,000 points; that is, if it buys blue chip stocks below 10,000 points, there is no problem in theory, and it is already a big deal if it can buy 20 billion.
Amazing.
Therefore, international speculators are just creating buying opportunities for Lin Zuhui's funds. Lin Zuhui should thank others.
.......
The next day, international speculators were indeed silent, and the Hong Kong stock market experienced a technical rebound.
Of course, the panic is still there.
Soros boarded the plane with a hint of reluctance and left Hong Kong, preparing to go to South Korea to continue making trouble.
"Stock God, we will compete again! I want to see how individual strength can resist the general trend."
In fact, at this time, the Hang Seng Index has plummeted by more than 4,000 points compared with the beginning of the month. Of course, it is not all the fault of international speculators. The early panic and profit taking have also dropped by 1,200 points; now they have run out of bullets, and now
The situation has also reversed - a technical rebound.
"Boss, the loopholes in South Korea are even greater. The major consortiums have huge debts, and South Korea's foreign exchange is only 50 billion US dollars!" the assistant comforted Soros.
Soros immediately came back to his senses and now said: "Of course I know! And I also know that once South Korea falls, Hong Kong and Japan will also panic. Therefore, this year, Hong Kong can still come to test and prepare for next year.
!”
The assistant smiled and said: "Yes! The Hong Kong dollar's 'linked exchange rate' is full of loopholes. Panic has spread in Hong Kong. Next, the whole of Asia will be our 'cash machine'."
They were not wrong either!
The financial crisis sweeping across Hong Kong has not only caused the stock market to plummet, but also the property market. The real estate market has plummeted, real estate speculation has almost disappeared, and deposits are very common (real estate deposits are no longer required).
The more obvious signal is that the internal subscription of the Luyin Villa project of Cheung Kong Holdings ended miserably. Before the sale, it could only announce a 4-day postponement of the public sale. In the end, it even had to reduce the price by 20% for promotion. Unfortunately, the sales volume still stagnated.
This means that the property market has dropped by about 30%, and the average residential price on Hong Kong Island has dropped from HK$10,000 to HK$7,000 per square foot.
Even so, there is not much trading volume, after all, many people are already panicking.
In the last three days at the end of October, the Hong Kong stock market indeed experienced a technical rebound, and international speculators also temporarily withdrew, so the market closed at 12,100 points on the last day, and the weekend also ushered in.
To sum up, the international speculators were aggressive this time, but in the end they actually made limited money (certainly not as much as they made in history)!
Because when the international speculators moved to Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index had already fallen to about 13,800 points, and when they left, the Hang Seng Index rebounded to 12,100 points, which means that the 1,700 points came and went.
Of course, what was left was a mess and panic, and the impact was still huge.
As for whether Lin Zuhui was a hero in this sniper attack, it actually doesn't matter.
First of all, the announcements issued by his five listed companies are corporate actions, and the purpose is only to maintain the company's own stock price.
Secondly, his family office was not deeply involved, but it bought 2.05 billion in funds, and the purchases were scattered, and almost no one knew about it.
Therefore, Lin Zuhui did not perform too prominently in this incident.
Only some people may know that Lin Zuhui is determined to maintain the stability of the Hong Kong stock market; however, the vast majority of investors are also grateful to Lin Zuhui's five companies for participating in the defense battle surrounding the Hang Seng Index, and naturally give Lin Zuhui a share of the credit.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After this incident, the Lin Zuhui family has become the largest family in Hong Kong, and the market value of its listed companies has also taken the lead in rebounding, and has begun to account for 20% of the total market value of Hong Kong.
, and never fell below this ratio.
........
On Saturday, Lin Zuhui came to ATV Group, which seems to have become a habit. He spends half a day every week to make his presence felt at ATV.
Moreover, he quite likes to wander around the ATV building and see the handsome men and beauties. It is also a good mood. However, due to the sharing among the three video buildings in ATV City, the ATV building gradually has fewer celebrities. Of course, it is only relatively speaking.
.
Lin Zuhui opened an office door without any purpose, and was immediately greeted by the eyes of the staff inside. Of course, he knew this was the screenwriters' office, so he knocked on the door and opened it. He couldn't just push the door in without looking.
, it would be embarrassing if it was in the women's locker room.
The "boss" staff greeted him with surprise.
It is indeed a surprise, not a shock. After all, Lin Zuhui is not the kind of boss who is serious in front of his employees. The employees have not even seen him a few times.
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "What kind of screenwriter's room is this?"
Most of them are female screenwriters, so it seems to be a Hong Kong drama.
A female screenwriter smiled and said: "It's a Hong Kong drama editor!"
There are many more, they are awesome!
Lin Zuhui came to the desk, picked up a "good" magazine on the desk, and said with a smile: "I found the campus style by looking for materials!"
The female screenwriter blushed slightly at first, and then said: "Well, now Hong Kong dramas have reached a bottleneck, and we also want to make breakthroughs. Maybe school dramas are also very suitable."
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "This is a good idea!"
In fact, Lin Zuhui already had one movie, which was a copycat of his previous Korean film "The Heirs", but he thought it would be better to wait a few more years.
Regarding Hong Kong dramas, Lam plans to start his second round of involvement in 2005, plagiarizing Internet hits such as "My Love from the Star" and "The Heirs" in his previous life.
Because he felt that if he attacked now, he might not be able to achieve better results.
Lin Zuhui casually flipped through "good" magazine a few times. This campus-style magazine founded by him did not expect that it is still selling well today.
Suddenly, he remembered something and smiled.
"Work hard and have more wild ideas!"
"Okay, boss!"
Everyone is encouraged!
Seeing that Lin Zuhui was so talkative, a screenwriter asked a question closely related to recent times: "Boss, the Asian economy is so miserable now, will ATV lay off employees?"
Lin Zuhui was stunned and asked: "Why do you suddenly ask like this?"
The screenwriter said: "Many companies have closed down. One of my brothers lost his job because of the company's closure. It's so miserable!"
In fact, many companies have gone bankrupt recently. For example, Yaohan Department Store went bankrupt in September. Many small real estate companies are on the verge of bankruptcy, but they have definitely laid off employees.
Lin Zuhui said seriously: "None of my companies will lay off employees, so you can just work with peace of mind!"
"Yes, boss!"
This problem is a problem. Lin Zuhui plans to communicate with several presidents. His companies must avoid layoffs as much as possible. Even a company with a great impact like ATV Group cannot lay off employees.
Back in the office, he first communicated with program director Zhao Zhenqiang.
"I remember a Japanese comic about a girl who was forced by her parents to be sent to an aristocratic school that specialized in training the children of four major families. Four sons from these four families were the top four in this school, also called F4.
Then this girl faced f4 and showed no fear of power. Even if she was bullied, she still refused to bow to them. As the leader of f4, the boss, a domineering playboy, started a love relationship with this girl...
.That’s about it.”
Zhao Zhenqiang is not a fool. After hearing this, he immediately said: "The boss wants to buy the copyright of this comic and make it into a Hong Kong idol series!"
Lin Zuhui nodded and said, "That's right. You need someone to find this comic first. It might be translated as "Meteor Garden". Anyway, I'm not sure. After all, I've been reading it for a long time!"
Why is it strange that he reads Japanese comics? After all, Wanhui Media has "Japanese comics" style comics.
Zhao Zhenqiang nodded and said: "Okay, I will go to Wanhui Comics Club to inquire later. If it is not possible, I will send someone to Japan to look up the information." The boss remembered a lot, so it was not difficult to find it.
Moreover, Zhao Zhenqiang discovered that this style of Hong Kong idol drama seemed to be a very good subject matter. So, he left Lin Zuhui's office excitedly.
After Zhao Zhenqiang left, Lin Zuhui called Zhou Liangshuyi to the office.
"The impact of the Asian financial turmoil is huge, and it also has a huge impact on the ATV Group. The group needs to control costs and expenditures a little, but it cannot lay off employees."
Zhou Liang Shuyi immediately said: "Well, I understand! Thank you boss, otherwise ATV Group does not know how many people will be laid off. After all, the market will be very bad."
Lin Zuhui waved his hand and said: "The reason for not laying off employees is because I have confidence in the future of ATV Group and because ATV Group has sufficient cash flow. By the way, what countermeasures do you have?"
Zhou Liangshuyi said: "There are some. This financial crisis has less impact on the mainland, so the group can pay attention to cooperation with the mainland and the mainland market."
Lin Zuhui nodded, this plan is somewhat useful. There is really no other way. If there are economic problems in Southeast Asia and South Korea, then the copyright export sales will be less; not only that, advertisers will also become stingy.
"Well, your management should calm down the restless people in the group, and everyone should work steadily, and everything will be over."
"Okay, I know!"
There is nothing else to say. The management of ATV Group has great power, and Lin Zuhui is very decentralized.
His casual chat today may have earned ATV hundreds of millions.
In the previous life, "Meteor Garden" was extremely popular in Japan, South Korea, Mainland China (banned), Taiwan and other places. In South Korea, 200,000 fans even formed an unofficial fan club, prompting Korean TV stations to rebroadcast "Meteor Garden".
From this point of view, we really need to think carefully and not miss some TV series.
For example, take "Wind and Cloud", of course, this is the copyright of your own comic book company, no one can take it away.
How about f4 Daoming Si looking for Nicholas Tse, Lin Zuhui thought in his mind.
In any case, it is best for F4 to cultivate people from ATV, and there will be income from records, concerts and other peripheral income in the future, so "Meteor Garden" is a sure money-making tool.
Income Lin Zuhui is very rich now, but he can't use the money to subsidize the ATV Group. Besides, he only spends one or two hours to supervise and plan this series, so he doesn't think it's a big deal.
Even if he is worth a trillion dollars, if he makes hundreds of millions in one or two hours, he is still prosperous.
Today, ATV occupies 70% of the local market share in Hong Kong, with wireless and cable TV accounting for 30%. It can be said to be a true industry monopoly. Of course, ATV's overseas revenue accounts for a very large proportion, and copyright revenue also accounts for a large proportion.
In fact, the reason why TVB still accounts for 25% of the share is because it imitated ATV in making Hong Kong dramas and produced similar programs, which completely lost the style of its previous life. Moreover, Lin Zuhui seems to remember that TVB also went downhill at this time in his previous life.
