Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

The father and son talked to each other and enriched the whole plan.

Wang Xiaosheng and Wang Xiaotian, who were standing aside, were dumbfounded.

For the first time, they realized that they and the third brother were not opponents of the same level at all.

He was more calculating than their father.

Fortunately for them, it seemed that this younger brother was not very enthusiastic about the family business.

"Good son, I'll do as you say."

"I will transfer the money to your overseas account as usual."

Although Wang Lei was very rich, he would think that he had too much money. Thinking of Wang Xiaosheng's mention of Peninsula Technology's listing plan, he kindly reminded:

"Dad, the overseas financial market has not been calm recently. If Peninsula Technology wants to go public, it must hurry up and it is best to complete the fundraising before mid-October."

1987 was an unusual year for the world. The most influential global stock market crash in human history broke out!

On October 18, the US stock market fell 22%, and the implicated Hong Kong stock market fell 33% on the same day!

The United States lost $500 billion in market value in this stock market crash, equivalent to 1/8 of its GDP!

The young Hong Kong stocks also suffered heavy losses, and the Hang Seng Index fell by as much as 56% compared to the eve of the stock market crash.

In other words, most listed companies lost more than half of their market value.

If Peninsula Technology does not complete the listing and raise funds before mid-October.

Then the plan to go public and make money will be shelved for a long time due to the stock market crash.

After the stock market crash, people felt that it was not safe to keep money in the stock market, and the market value of Peninsula Technology would definitely not be high.

"Did you hear any rumors overseas?"

Wang Lei just nodded, and his silence made him more convincing.

Wang Zhengyi thought for a while and said:

"You haven't done anything serious since you returned to Hong Kong. If you return to the group, the position of vice president has been vacant."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaotian and Wang Xiaosheng became uneasy.

Above the vice president is the group president. The two of them fought for this position, but they didn't expect that Wang Lei, who had never taken it seriously, would get the chance.

They looked at Wang Lei nervously with complicated eyes.

Wang Lei really had no interest in the proposal to return to the group.

He spent five years to become a capital, a big overseas investor, and the boss of the boss.

Now he is asked to be a senior worker on the front line, and he is definitely unwilling.

"Why?" Wang Zhengyi smiled, "Even the position of vice president can't satisfy you?"

"Of course not, Dad, you know that my career focus is currently overseas, and I have no idea about the affairs of the group... Or you should choose someone else."

Listening to his youngest son finding a bunch of reasons to reject him, Wang Zhengyi would be a lie to say that he was not angry.

Although the Wang Group is not as good as the four major families, its market value is at least as high as 2 billion US dollars. This bastard boy refused without even thinking about it.

His dignity was greatly challenged.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly fell into a weird atmosphere.

Wang Zhengyi stared at Wang Lei's eyes.

"Okay, I never force people to do things, you will regret it sooner or later."

Both brothers wiped cold sweat for their ungrateful brother.

Fortunately, Wang Zhengyi was not really angry, otherwise Wang Lei would have been beaten up.

He couldn't help but wonder why his third brother would give up without hesitation when the opportunity was clearly in front of him.

Wang Lei knew it well.

His cheap father has always been overbearing and likes to be arbitrary.

At least he can still work as the president for more than 20 years, even 30 years is possible.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but cast a pitying look at the two good brothers.

You work hard, and I will come to rescue you when I become a global financial tycoon.

His eyes made the two brothers wonder, what do you mean, third brother?

…

In the financial market, when someone goes high, someone goes short.

In the 1980s, short sellers were not well-known, and funds such as Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund had just emerged.

The most famous of them is the Cayman Fund headquartered in the Cayman Islands.

In the recent Hiroshima Agreement (the Eagle Sauce took the initiative to devalue the US dollar), the Cayman Fund became famous for shorting the Eagle Sauce.

Many people suspect that Robert Gilman, the president of the Cayman Fund, is the white glove of a big shot.

He got this key inside information from the big shot in advance.

This allowed him to lay out in advance and complete the shorting.

Robert almost believed such rumors after hearing them so many times.

Only he knew that his boss behind the scenes was Wang Lei from Hong Kong.

An ordinary rich boy who was not ordinary.

The two met in humble circumstances, and he was because of screwing upHe made a big deal, which led to the bankruptcy of the company, and he became one of the many unemployed.

Long-term unemployment once made him want to change his career.

At that time, he didn't even have money to buy a Valentine's Day gift for his girlfriend.

Until a handsome Dragon student came to him.

They set up the first Cayman private equity company in the Cayman Islands.

The company initially controlled only 8 million US dollars.

It is said that this 8 million US dollars was all earned by Wang Lei from years of stock speculation.

Soon, the short-selling business of the Cayman Fund became regular.

In 1982, Mexico encountered a debt crisis, and shorted the peso with high leverage, and the capital plate expanded to 20 million US dollars.

In 1983, the US stock market bull market was encountered, and the capital plate expanded to 50 million US dollars.

In 1984, shorting AT&T, which was about to be forcibly split, expanded the funds controlled to 70 million US dollars.

In 1985, he predicted the Hiroshima Agreement in advance, shorted the US dollar and pushed up the Japanese yen, and made a profit of 200 million US dollars. The capital pool instantly expanded to nearly 300 million US dollars.

In 1986, Cayman Capital, which became famous on Wall Street, began to raise funds and expanded the scale of funds under its control to 800 million US dollars.

At this time, Cayman Capital had risen to a scale of nearly 1 billion US dollars, making it the largest short seller active on Wall Street.

And all this was brought by the boss!

If it weren't for the boss's support, Robert would still be a scum on the verge of bankruptcy.

Becoming the boss's white glove is the luckiest thing in his life.

Thinking of this, he picked up the satellite phone and dialed Wang Lei's number.

"Boss, 1 billion US dollars has been raised. Who is our next target?"
