Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Just in the past three days from August 5th to August 7th, the largest Hong Kong dollar short sale broke out in Hong Kong since the establishment of the Hong Kong dollar linked exchange rate system. 16 billion Hong Kong dollars, while the defending Hong Kong Monetary Authority ate up one by one, and a new round of life-and-death battle broke out.

It is no secret that the richest man entered the Xiangjiang stock market by injecting large sums of money into Tracker Investment.

This move has been called suicide by international speculators. After all, since the 1990s, many countries have become lambs at the mercy of speculators. Even though Tang Huan is honored as the richest man in the world, his net worth An economy whose gdp ranks among the top 30 in the world will not help the stormy Xiangjiang.

Once the group effect of taking advantage of the fire occurs, it will be like this: ants kill elephants.

International speculators are very interested in adding the name of the world's richest man to their harvest list.

The dark forces with even more ulterior motives saw the impenetrable Tang Kingdom. In addition to the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company, there was another key attack gap that could be exploited.

Now that Tang Huan made a public prediction that it is time for this financial turmoil to end, the first reaction of many people is to speak out loudly! Do you think you are really the enemy of ten thousand people?

Analysis of observers who have followed the Tang family for a long time: Mr. Richest Man, who was deeply involved in the vortex of the monopoly case of the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company, did not take the initiative to jump into the quagmire of Xiangjiang without any regrets. It's so simple, but there are also complicated political relationship considerations.

However, although Tang Huan has hardly made any fatal mistakes since his rise, this time I am afraid it will really become his Waterloo.

It seems that the United States of America v. Zheru Software Company monopoly case aroused Tang Huan's anger, which made him less rational in handling many things than before.

Examples including stubborn support for Xiangjiang and anger against US Vice President Al Gore are the most telling evidence.

Warren Buffett called Tang Huan specifically, and persuaded him earnestly: Tang, based on my many years of experience and experience, the most important thing when investing is to decisively stop losses.

No matter how many billions have been invested in Xiangjiang, as long as you are willing to stop immediately, you will lose your vitality at most; but if you are really tied to Xiangjiang, a small boat that may capsize at any time, it will be really troublesome!

The richest man smiled heartily: You don't really think that I've lost my mind like the media described me?

Actually, my judgment has various bases including supercomputer financial models, and it is not based on emotions.

Warren, I would like to remind you in turn that it is time to pay attention to the risks of certain investment partners.

Warren Buffett said helplessly: Don, if you still insist on doing this, then I have to consider giving up the Bank of America stock in my hand.

Tang Huan pondered: Well, how about you give me a month, and then we can discuss it in detail?

This is impossible, a month is too long. Warren Buffett flatly refused: Don, it's not like you don't know that August 28 is the delivery time of Xiangjiang futures. At that time, short selling Fang is almost certain to win a big victory, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Bank of America, which you have loaned a large amount of money, has fallen into the abyss. But according to the time limit you gave, it was dragged directly to September, and I lost any stop loss. Chance.

The richest man said leisurely: Actually, I borrowed a lot of money from Bank of America to protect it.

Warren Buffett laughed suddenly, Don, I can't keep up with your train of thought more and more.

Okay. Tang Huan sighed, How about making a decision a week before August 28th?

Warren Buffett thought for a moment,

Then he readily agreed: Tang, I am willing to believe you, so be it.

...

Putting down the phone, Mr. Richest Man shook his head, and casually asked Tang Wenmao, who was sitting next to him, Do you have that feeling that an invisible net is covering our heads and it is starting to fall.

Tang Wenmao replied with a firm gaze: You are the leader who holds the dragon-slaying sword in your hand. Lead us, gods block and kill gods, and Buddhas block and kill Buddhas!

Tang Huan laughed long and loudly, and then warned: During the time I am going to Xiangjiang, you must take good care of your home and keep the information channels open.

Yes. Tang Wenmao agreed sternly, I will lead my little nephews to watch a good show.

Ever since, the richest man, who was just a few days after his 43rd birthday, boarded Silicon Valley One, crossed the North Pole, and flew directly to Xiangjiang.

Slightly different from the visit not long ago, Xiangjiang International Airport was officially opened in July, that is, on the 6th of last month; at the same time, the historic Kai Tak Airport was closed to complete its historical mission .

Therefore, the landing of Silicon Valley One this time will no longer have the thrilling experience of a plane flying through the city center and tall buildings close at hand.

Tang Huan's visit to Xiangjiang this time is to personally sit in Yingfu Investment and face the attack launched by international speculators again.

Therefore, in addition to the No. 1 Son of Tang Jin Chang who came to greet his father, the Three Musketeers in charge of finance in the Xiangjiang Special Administrative Region Government, the Financial Secretary Zeng Yinquan, the President of the Financial Management Bureau Ren Zhigang, and the Director of the Treasury Bureau Xu Shiren, also Join hands to attend the scene; as for Xiangjiang's media, they are even more moved by the wind.

Facing the many reporters eagerly waiting to be fed, the richest man stopped in a gracious manner, turned his gaze, pointed to a female reporter with the logo of his own Phoenix Media on the microphone, and said, Wu Xiaoli, tell me! .”

Wu Xiaoli lifted her spirits, and asked in a competent manner: Mr. Tang, what is the main agenda of your trip to Xiangjiang?

It's very simple! Tang Huan replied firmly and concisely: Through the investment of Yingfu, stabilize the Xiangjiang stock market.

Wu Xiaoli quickly asked the second question: Although the overnight lending rate of Xiangjiang Bank continues to increase, it still cannot completely stop the short selling of international speculators. I wonder how Mr. Tang will solve the funding problem when he comes to Xiangjiang this time?

The richest man continued to answer without any nonsense: I didn't come empty-handed. This time I brought at least five billion US dollars from outside Xiangjiang.

Amidst the exclamations around, Wu Xiaoli, who was still calm, seized the time to ask the third question, Since late October last year, international speculators have been attacking Xiangjiang, and now it is the third round. Yes. Mr. Tang, how long do you think this state will last?

Tang Huan waved his hand, The battle will be completely over within this month, and the victory belongs to Xiangjiang.

After hearing this answer, even Wu Xiaoli was stunned.

After answering the three questions in one go, the richest man, who rose to the sky in a domineering manner, didn't stop and went straight into the car.

Jin Chang, who sat in the back with his father, opened his mouth to report: According to your instructions, I have gone to the mainland to express my condolences on behalf of you regarding the floods this summer.

Due to the El Niño phenomenon, major water systems from north to south in China have experienced record-setting or rare floods in this century one after another this year, causing serious loss of life and property, and many provincial capitals are facing a huge risk of flooding.

The fight against floods and disaster relief exposed many problems, but it also demonstrated the national cohesion of one heart and one mind.

Jin Chang mentioned the spectacular scenes of people fighting against nature that he saw with his own eyes. He was still deeply shocked, and even sang a new song Who Am I that he learned from there.

It has to be said that Jin Chang inherited a very good musical talent from his mother, but as the eldest son, he can only waste such talent.

Tang Huan said leisurely: This is the greatness of unity.

Jin Chang understood and said: You have come to Xiangjiang personally this time to sit in town, and you will win the hearts of the people.

...

This Xiangjiang trip can be described as a race against time.

So, the richest man went directly to the office, and even lunch was just a bowl of wanton noodles.

But this still cannot be tasted leisurely, but while eating, learn about the real-time situation from Zhuang Menghua and Meng Jing who have been watching Xiangjiang.

The lunch of the two Goddesses of Wealth was also very simple, sharing a fruit salad.

Zhuang Menghua smiled and said: Your arrival is indeed good news for the Hong Kong stock market. When the market opened in the morning, the Hang Seng Index was 6654 points; at the close of the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index rose by almost 100 points; I believe that as your airport answer to reporters’ questions spreads, the stock market will digest it as a positive signal in the afternoon, and the Hang Seng Index will rise more actively.”

With the reaction speed of Phoenix Media, the broadcast should start now. Meng Jing looked at the time, found the remote control, and turned on the TV.

Sure enough, Media Asia TV and Phoenix Satellite TV were simultaneously broadcasting Wu Xiaoli's brief interview with Tang Huan at the airport. The strong confidence conveyed by Mr. Richest's three eloquent answers is simply overwhelming.

Glancing at the TV screen, Tang Huan did not get complacent, but calmly judged: The market is the most ruthless. Although I can stimulate the Hang Seng Index to rise, it is not a long-term solution after all. More measures must be taken. As a pivotal variable, to determine the impact.

The understanding Zhuang Menghua looked around the room and saw that there were only three people dining, so he asked softly, Will Russia really choose to default on its debt?

The richest man nodded resolutely, The possibilities are infinitely increasing. In fact, the Russian ruling class has no effective solution to get out of the predicament at all. The only way to go is to cheat. It is nothing more than how to choose the time to speak.

Zhuang Menghua frowned and reminded: If Russia really defaults on its debt, it will inevitably lead to a financial crisis, and the global stock market will plummet accordingly. It may not wait until the United States is worried that it will be affected and has to strengthen financial control, which will greatly weaken the lead. With the fighting power of the speculators attacking Xiangjiang, we will be defeated in a thousand miles.

Tang Huan smiled slightly, You are more professional in specific operations; leave the macro layout to me.

Are you sure that the Xiangjiang Stock Exchange will be closed to avoid the impact of the Russian financial crisis? Zhuang Menghua asked curiously: Don't forget, since the 'Black Monday' in 1987, the then chairman of the exchange After Li Fuzhao announced a four-day market break and caused an uproar, no one dared to risk the world's disgrace like this.

The richest man pushed away the noodle bowl, patted his belly, and lazily replied: Of course I'm playing according to the rules of the game, and you'll know soon.

Little cousin Meng Jing interjected: According to our forecast, in the next time, the two large-cap stocks of HSBC Holdings and Xiangjiang Telecom will become the focus of the game, but John Pang, the newly appointed chairman of the board of directors of HSBC Holdings this year, has been We are wary of Tracker Investment’s purchase of HSBC Holdings’ shares, and continue to act and exert pressure.”

The grievances between Tang Huan and HSBC were basically settled when HSBC gave up Hang Seng Bank, which was originally under absolute control, in 1987 when Black Monday occurred.

After that, HSBC was reorganized and established HSBC Holdings, and moved back to London, the British mainland, so-called avoiding the risk of Xiangjiang's return.

For more than ten years, although HSBC Holdings and the richest man have been in the same boat, they have never given up their vigilance. Naturally, they are deeply disturbed by the continuous buying of their own stocks by the company Tang Huan formed. up.

Originally, HSBC followed the internal regulations formulated by itself more than a hundred years ago, rather than the current Hong Kong Company Law.

There are many ways to do this. For example, in the early 1980s, other Heung Kong companies had to announce when the shareholder’s shareholding ratio reached 15 percent; while HSBC’s regulations set this threshold to 1 percent.

In other words, don't look at Hutchison, Wharf and other British foreign firms falling into the hands of Chinese capital, but outsiders have no idea of ​​controlling HSBC.

However, as HSBC was restructured into HSBC Holdings and moved back to London, England, it would no longer be able to enjoy the special preferential treatment of Hong Kong local rich owners, and must accept the control of the company law.

In this way, HSBC Holdings' control over itself is no different from other ordinary companies.

But since entering 1998, Tang Huan's Tracker Investment has been buying HSBC Holdings' stocks in the name of supporting the market, and it seems that they have exceeded 7%. HSBC Holdings can't sit still.

Yes, the vicissitudes of life, trying to form an alliance at that time, the chairman of HSBC, Pu Weishi, who suppressed Qin and his family, has retired, and John Pang took office. It can be regarded as a new generation replacing the old, but HSBC still remembers being pumped by Tang Huan. Blood, the pain that even the gold tooth of Hang Seng Bank was knocked out.

After hearing the little cousin's complaint, Mr. Richest snorted disdainfully, They are all followers of power. After a few days, they will stop.

...

On August 17, 1998, the Russian financial crisis broke out, and global stock markets plummeted, including those currently bathed in . Among the U.S. stock markets in the com bubble, only Xiangjiang, which was closed, was lucky to escape.
