Rebirth of Hong Kong's tycoons, shorting Eagle Sauce

One billion US dollars is not a small amount, far exceeding the foreign exchange reserves of some small countries.

He had a hunch that this would be a massive action.

There was a hint of excitement and excitement in his voice.

"Okay, I'll make a call first."

Robert didn't ask any more questions, and he was more and more curious about the target of the action.

On the other side, Wang Lei ate the loving breakfast made by Qiu Shuzhen and dialed a familiar number with a satellite phone.

"Lee, I heard you're back in Hong Kong?"

"Why didn't you say hello to me? You promised to treat me to a drink last time."

"I've waited so long, but you didn't even call me."

A female voice full of resentment came from the phone, and she greeted Wang Lei familiarly.

Wang Lei didn't want to joke with her, and directly stated his purpose.

"Jocelyn, I'm in urgent need of money."

Jocelyn is the eldest daughter of Blackstone Capital. Her family controls hedge funds worth tens of billions of dollars and is a well-known private equity king.

When she heard that it was a serious matter, the young lady immediately became serious:

"Okay, no problem, how much do you need, I'll have someone prepare the transfer process."

The two have cooperated more than once or twice, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they know each other inside and out.

The young lady admires Wang Lei's trading ability. It is common for Wang Lei to borrow money and use leverage, and he has never failed.

She is a witness to Cayman Capital's growth from 0 to 1 billion, and once doubted Wang Lei's true identity.

"Um... 10 billion is okay?"

"US dollars?"

"US dollars!"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone, as if they were still digesting the shock brought by Wang Lei.

"Cayman Capital's 1 billion capital can be used as margin." Wang Lei had to emphasize this.

1 billion given to Blackstone as margin, 10 billion lent out, equivalent to 10 times high leverage.

10 times leverage is a common thing for large institutions.

In the past, given Wang Lei's past record, Qiao Silin would not have any hesitation.

The bad thing is that the amount is so huge that even Jocelyn, as the vice president of Blackstone, cannot make a decision immediately.

After a while, Jocelyn came back to her senses:

"Think it over clearly. As long as you lose 10%, your Cayman capital will become a negative asset."

"Of course, that's my five years of hard work."

"Okay, you need to cooperate with me to sign a bet agreement."

Listening to the harsh requirements in the bet agreement, Wang Lei looked normal.

Knowing history, he knew that he couldn't lose.

Even if Jocelyn's request was too much, he would take it without hesitation.

"... If Party B fails to repay the principal and interest at the agreed time, Mr. Wang Lei will automatically become Blackstone's investment manager, and the labor contract will be indefinite..."

Tsk tsk, Wang Lei couldn't help rolling his eyes.

This woman is so cruel that she actually wants him to work for Blackstone for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, he is destined not to let Jocelyn's "conspiracy" succeed.

"Well... that's all for now.

I'm giving you a transfusion under great pressure. If the board of directors investigates, I might resign."

Qiao Silin rarely showed her little womanly appearance, which caused Wang Lei to laugh secretly.

"Okay, okay, can't I treat you to dinner next time I go to New York?"

"That's what you said. I'll have someone handle the transfer procedures for you."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Lei found that Qiu Shuzhen was staring at him with wide eyes, her eyes full of shock.

She was shocked by Wang Lei's generosity.

In her mind, having assets of several million is considered a rich man.

What did she hear just now?

The man in front of her actually had assets of up to 1 billion!

What was even more terrifying to her was that the other party actually borrowed 10 billion funds.

She suddenly found that she had lost the concept of money.

The female lead of "Eight Stars Announcement" only received 150,000 Hong Kong dollars in salary!

The huge gap suddenly made her feel that her efforts were meaningless. Even if she became a big star and her acting salary increased to several million dollars, she would never be able to achieve a goal in her lifetime. She looked at Wang Lei with even more passion. She must win the heart of this man! Wang Lei picked up the phone again and called back. "Robert, I have made a deal with Blackstone and I need you to hand it over." "Okay, boss, I have received a notice from Blackstone." Robert was excited when he said this, because it was 10 billion dollars. "I estimate that the US stock market will crash in mid-October. You know what to do." Robert was accustomed to the boss's predictions. The boss had never made a mistake. With such inside information, it would be unreasonable for him to drag his feet again. "Okay, boss, I have received a notice from Blackstone."I will use the funds to short the US stock market, boss, don't worry."

"No, you don't understand what I mean."

Robert scratched his hair and asked humbly, "Boss, what other plans do you have?"

"The US stock market is of course the focus of our short selling."

"But the sudden collapse of the US stock market will soon cause panic in the global financial market."

"It will soon form a global stock market crash."

"At that time, investors around the world will sell US dollars in the foreign exchange market, which will inevitably cause a sharp depreciation of the US dollar."

"Gangcheng will choose to close the market after the first round of decline, and the selling orders squeezed for several days will gush in..."

A few simple sentences made Robert realize that this was an unprecedented stock market crash, and the follow-up effects would bring unlimited business opportunities.

"Gangcheng's single-day decline will set a world record, which is our best opportunity to short the four major family industries! ”

The four big families almost monopolized the core industries of the entire Hong Kong city.

It is extremely difficult for outsiders to get a piece of the pie.

Their Wang Group can only eat some leftovers in the back.

And this big stock market crash gave Wang Lei an opportunity.

As early as the 1970s, the core industries of the four big families began to be listed in a concentrated manner.

Especially in the real estate industry, they launched the black-hearted "pre-sale and installment payment"!

Let the real estate rocket of Hong Kong City be equipped with an engine.

During the period of high housing prices, they sold the hoarded properties, cashed in the profits and pushed up the stock price.

Use high stock prices to raise a large amount of funds to reserve cash.

When the housing market is low (usually also During the stock market downturn), they frantically bought land properties while acquiring non-real estate listed companies with a large amount of land.

These companies were extremely cheap during the stock market downturn.

After several cycles, the strength of the four major families increased exponentially.

Take Yellow River Industrial as an example. When it was listed in 1972, it had a market value of only HK$126 million.

By 1981, Yellow River Industrial had a market value of HK$7.8 billion!

Now, five years later, the market value of Yellow River Industrial has already exceeded the HK$10 billion mark!

The high stock price gave the Cayman Foundation a lot of room for short selling.

The port city is small, so small that the world will know if there is any disturbance in the financial market.
