Rebirth of the Wild Age

The garden house is transparent from the north to the south; it has a clear pattern and you can move in with your bags.

This sea view villa is located near Repulse Bay. Compared with the mansions of those super tycoons, the location is not particularly good and the area is not particularly large. But even so, it was a sea view house in Repulse Bay, Song Weiyang spent a full 25 million Hong Kong dollars to get it from the bank.

A year ago, at least 40 million or more!

Why is it said that a financial turmoil turned countless Hong Kong people into negative assets? Just because of the property market and the stock market!

In the stock market and real estate market in Hong Kong City, the asset mortgage rate is very high.

Take blue chips as an example, HSBC shares can be mortgaged 80%. That is to say, for 100 Hong Kong dollars of HSBC stock, shareholders only need to pay 20 yuan, and the rest can be provided by banks or securities companies.

In the same way, the mortgage rate of Hong Kong City Real Estate also exceeds 80%. For a house worth 1 million Hong Kong dollars, you can happily buy it with just over 100,000 down payment.

The stock market was plummeted by Soros and others, causing banks to keep demanding money from customers. Not to mention the principle and calculation process, the situation is roughly like this, the stock price of 100 yuan fell to 50 yuan, and the stockholders who only paid 20 yuan for stock speculation before had to make up 60 yuan from the bank. What if I can't repay the bank loan? Then sell the house.

In one year, the housing prices in Hong Kong City have been cut in half. There are too many people selling houses!

The drop in Central was the worst. Houses priced at 30,000-50,000/sq. ft. last summer fell directly to 10,000-20,000/sq.

The housing market and the stock market collapsed, which also caused a series of evil consequences, that is, countless companies closed down or laid off employees, and the unemployment rate in Hong Kong City is close to 5%. These unemployed people can't afford to repay their loans, and they can only watch their houses being repossessed and auctioned by the bank, or borrow money everywhere to carry them to death.

Most of the people with negative equity are innocent.

They worked honestly and worked hard for more than ten years to save money to buy a house. They haven't lived in it for a few days, and the house price has dropped to half of what it was when they bought the house. Or if you have some spare cash, take advantage of the hot stock market to enter the market for a few speculations, and suddenly it collapses, and you owe a whole lot of debt to the bank.

The actual situation of Hong Kong City, which successfully resisted Soros' sniping, was even worse than that of Singapore, which was defeated by Soros!

Singapore's gdp in 1998 shrunk by only 1.4%, while Hong Kong's gdp shrank directly by 5.5%. It was not until ten years later that the GDP of Hong Kong City returned to the level of 1997.

...

Guo Xiaochun was wearing a pair of beach shorts, sitting by the swimming pool of the villa, smoking a cigar and laughing happily: Such a big house, really let me live in it?

I'll lend it to you, Song Weiyang said. I don't stay in Hong Kong City often. It's not good if the house is empty for too long. You can move in and look after it for me.

Then I will be disrespectful! Guo Xiaochun likes to watch martial arts, and often pops out idioms.

Chen Tao was wearing a bikini with a pink shawl slanted around her waist. She carried a plate of sliced ​​watermelon to the pool, put it down with a smile, and said, It's hot, eat some watermelon to quench your thirst.

The murder weapon was so scary, Guo Xiaochun swallowed his saliva after just one glance, quickly looked away, picked up a piece of watermelon and said, Thank you.

Why are you dressed like this? Song Weiyang asked in surprise. It wasn't that he was too conservative, but that Chen Tao himself was relatively conservative and couldn't wear such an avant-garde style.

Chen Tao sat on the recliner and smiled, Mary helped me match it.

Mary is Guo Xiaochun's cohabiting girlfriend, Li Lifen, who lives in the countryside in the New Territories, and went to work in the city after finishing high school. I don't have any skills, so I can only work as a clerk in a small company. I am currently studying accounting at night school. My dream in this life is to buy a house in Kowloon.

Li Lifen came out with a plate of lemonade, and handed it to Song Weiyang with a smile: Boss, please use it slowly!

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Don't call me boss, you are my future little aunt.

It's early. Li Lifen turned to look at Guo Xiaochun.

Guo Xiaochun immediately said: We will get married next year!

The engine man suddenly came from outside the gate of the villa, and the newly hired Filipino maid quickly brought him over, and then went to do his own work in a very sensible manner.

Song Weiyang immediately stood up from the reclining chair, stretched out his hand and smiled from a distance: Mr. Liang, I have admired your name for a long time!

To each other, I have also admired Song Sheng's name for a long time. Liang Botao laughed.

Song Weiyang asked: I don't know what kind of big business Mr. Liang is going to visit in person?

Liang Botao said: Whether you're in business or not, you should come to visit. You can make friends first.

Song Weiyang smiled and said, I would like to hire Mr. Liang to come over and be the general manager of Jinniu Capital. Unfortunately, you are Li Chaoren's chief military adviser, and my small temple can't afford a big Bodhisattva.

Song Sheng was joking, Liang Botao said, Boss Li and I are just friends and partners, not chief military advisors.

Liang Botao, known as the father of red-chip stocks by people in the Jianghu, basically operated all the mainland state-owned enterprises that were listed in Hong Kong in the 1990s. Peregrine, founded by him and Du Huilian, is the largest investment bank in Asia (excluding Japan and Benzene), with more than half of the richest people in Hong Kong standing behind.

Peregrine went bankrupt earlier this year...

The investment bank has too much business in Southeast Asia and was directly hit by the Asian financial turmoil.

Under the heavy losses, the British Du Huilian tried his best to go his own way and wanted to make a comeback in Indonesia. He felt that Indonesia was so bad that it couldn't get worse, and it couldn't continue to fall, so he sold 2 billion Hong Kong dollars in assets and invested them all in Indonesia, an emerging market that can be bought and speculated.

As a result, the value of the Indonesian rupiah plummeted by more than 50% again, and the more than US$200 million corporate bonds issued by Peregrine became waste paper.

These two waves of operations resulted in a loss of US$40.6 billion for Peregrine, and the largest investment bank in Asia outside of Japan and Benzene was finished in this way.

International speculators headed by Soros also added fuel to the fire. They learned that Peregrine was buying bottoms in the Indonesian market, and immediately shorted the Indonesian rupiah again. On the day they bankrupted Peregrine, the Hang Seng Index plummeted instantly, and the Hong Kong stock market crashed directly!

Including Li Chaoren, they all paid a huge price for this. These Hong Kong city tycoons are all shareholders of Peregrine.

After Peregrine went bankrupt, Liang Botao immediately went to France, where BNP Paribas acquired many businesses of Peregrine, and established bnp Peregrine separately, with Liang Botao as the vice president.

Of course Song Weiyang knew about Liang Botao, whether in his previous life or in this life, he was a well-known figure in the Chinese business circle.

For example, in the most difficult time of JD.com in 2008, Dong Ge found more than 40 investors to discuss financing, but all failed. In the end, Brother Dong asked for connections everywhere, had a meal with Liang Botao, and quickly got investment to solve the urgent need.

Liang Botao asked: Song Sheng, why are you so sure that Soros will lose to Hong Kong City?

Because the Hong Kong government has the backing of the Chinese government. Song Weiyang said.

Liang Botao said: The battle in August and September, it seems that the Hong Kong government did not use the funds from the mainland. In the past few days I have been reviewing and summing up some ideas, but even if I do it again, I dare not spend money at the end of August go in.

Song Weiyang said with a smile: It may be that the ignorant are fearless. I don't know financial expertise, but I think this is like two armies at war. Soros' side is a coalition formed by countless international speculators. It is huge and invincible. Does it look like Fu Jian’s million-strong army during the Southern and Northern Dynasties? It looks powerful, but it is actually a mess. The Chinese government and the Hong Kong government are like the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Although there are only 80,000 soldiers, they stand firm.”

Liang Botao laughed: The first time I met someone talking about finance, I used history as an example.

Everything is the same, Song Weiyang said, The situation in Russia and Japan has made international speculators feel at a loss internally, and many institutions have withdrawn halfway. The Chinese government has also made a strong statement, and the Hong Kong government is determined not to admit defeat. This makes international speculators feel that they have won The day is nowhere in sight. Many speculators have already made money, so why fight another uncertain battle? They can't keep fighting in Hong Kong City, they have other things to do. If people lose their minds, it will be difficult to lead the team. The army of millions collapsed in an instant.

Liang Botao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, actually someone dared to bet heavily on a big gamble based on these fallacies, which completely refreshed his three views.

Song Weiyang said: Tell me, what does Mr. Liang want from me today?

Liang Botao said: Two things. One is that Li Chaoren wants to use his shares in bnp Peregrine to exchange Song Sheng's shares in Golden Bull Capital. The second is that I want to discuss business with Song Sheng. If Shenzhou Technology is willing to list in Hong Kong City , I can help with the operation, and all listing links can be handed over to bnp Peregrine.”

Song Weiyang smiled: Shenzhou Technology will of course go public, but I decided to go public in the United States.

That's a pity. Liang Botao said.

bnp Peregrine has just been established. Mainland China, Hong Kong City and Southeast Asia are its main business areas, but they are all in a state of economic downturn. Liang Botao is eager to turn around by operating technology stocks. Historically, the Growth Enterprise Market of Hong Kong City was operated under such circumstances by Liang Botao.

Song Weiyang said: As for the exchange of shares, it can be considered.

Then let me meet Li Chaoren for you? Liang Botao asked.

No problem, Song Weiyang said suddenly, Also, I have something to ask Mr. Liang for help.

Liang Botao said, Please tell me.

Song Weiyang said: Most of the most powerful securities and investment elites in Hong Kong City work for Peregrine. When Peregrine went bankrupt, Golden Bull Capital also recruited a few, but they were all mediocre talents who couldn't take the lead. Golden Bull Capital now The person in charge of Citibank is just a small role in the past. There is a shortage of talents here, can Mr. Liang help introduce one or two?

Liang Botao smiled: I have an old subordinate who is very suitable for you. Her name is Xu Xin. She is from Shancheng. She graduated from the Department of Foreign Languages ​​at Nant Joined Baring Investment Company, and she is also an investment partner. This woman is very hardworking, has a great investment vision, and has strong execution ability. I originally wanted to focus on training her. You can try to recruit her, provided you give a small amount of shares .”

Xu Xin, I know. Song Weiyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned back after talking for a long time.

In a few months, Xu Xin will contact Ding Sanshi, planning to invest in NetEase.

This woman is actually very young. For example, Ding Sanshi told her: I don't like managing people, I just want to be a happy technical director. Help me find a CEO. Ding Sanshi didn't agree with each other, causing a lot of nonsense.

Later, Xu Xin summed up his experience: placing a CEO on the head of the founder may be feasible in the United States, but it is not safe in China. The founders and CEOs in China are not on the right track, and it is easy for the company to be ruined. The founders in China must be able to make their own decisions.

Of course, this is not Xu Xin's shortcoming. Other investors would also make this kind of mistake. After all, no one can guess what happened in China.

At the same time, Xu Xin is also JD.com's first investor. In the future, Dong Ge will be able to contact Liang Botao, and it is likely that Xu Xin will connect with him.

When Brother Dong first came into contact with Xu Xin, they talked for four hours. Xu Xin asked how much it would cost. Brother Dong said it would cost $2 million. Xu Xin said that $2 million would not be enough. I will give you $10 million.

The chief financial officer of Jingdong was also found by Xu Xin, because Jingdong didn't even have an accountant at that time. Brother Dong is a thief. He thinks that the salary of the chief financial officer is too high, and if he kills him, Xu Xin will bear half of it. Two months later, Dong Ge said with a smile: People with 20,000 yuan are indeed more useful than those with 5,000 yuan. You can find me some more.

Xu Xin is not a time traveler. With his vision, he can become the first investor of Netease and JD.com.

Definitely want to recruit in!

Song Weiyang smiled and said, Then trouble Mr. Liang, ask me to meet Xu Xin.
