My Age of Investment

"It's okay, ten times the leverage will naturally lead to ten times the happiness!"

Xia Jingxing threw the document on the table casually and said to Jiang Ping with a smile on his face: "I was telling Liu Hai just now that this sudden interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve is not only not a danger signal, but an opportunity for us to make adjustments." Position, short at a higher position.

Don't worry about some losses, because we are firm and long-term bearish, and success will come sooner or later, just like last year's CDS contract. "

Seeing Xia Jingxing's relaxed look, Jiang Ping felt much more relaxed.

Like Liu Hai, this is the first time he has independently managed tens of billions of dollars in funds, and while he is excited, he is inevitably a little nervous.

The amount I lost in one day today was equivalent to an entire fund I managed in the past. It was very difficult to pretend that nothing was wrong. To be honest, it was difficult to do so.

Xia Jingxing is different. He is the boss and has seen through the future, so he can be calmer most of the time. Therefore, he can understand some of the emotional fluctuations of Liu Hai and Jiang Ping.

Liu Hai repeated what he had just discussed with Xia Jingxing to Jiang Ping.

"Are we also doing short-term contracts?" Jiang Ping looked at Xia Jingxing with wide eyes.

"Yes, the U.S. stock market is volatile, and the index will definitely be volatile. There is no one-way downward market. After the potential of this wave of interest rate cuts is digested by the market, U.S. stocks will still move downward."

Jiang Ping frowned and continued: "Then the economic stimulus policy was introduced, the market rebounded, and then started to decline again."

Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded, "Yes, that's it, it goes over and over again, until a bigger bomb is detonated, and it completely plummets like a waterfall."

Jiang Ping thought about it carefully in his mind, and replied after a while: "Don't tell me, this is the tone of the U.S. stock market."

"Well, so don't pay too much attention to the book loss number. There is no problem in the general direction. No matter how bad it is, it won't get any worse."

Xia Jingxing comforted and encouraged Jiang Ping for a while, and then communicated with him and Liu Hai about short-term operations.

…………

On the last day of January, Xia Jingxing left the United States on a private plane and headed to the United Kingdom.

As soon as he walked out of London Heathrow Airport, he was greeted by Li Yaozu and a team of people.

"Mr. Xia~"

Li Yaozu excitedly stepped forward to shake hands with Xia Jingxing, his joy beyond words.

Looking at Li Yaozu with two big dark circles under his eyes, Xia Jingxing smiled and said, "Yaozu, you have worked hard these past few months, and it seems you haven't even had a good rest."

Li Yaozu shook his head, "No, no, I'm so excited that I can't sleep."

Xia Jingxing laughed loudly, this Aberdeen is really a wonderful person.

A few months ago, after the transfer of the Penguin equity agreement was completed, he sent Li Yaozu to London and ordered him to set up the London office and European headquarters of Vision Capital.

Compared with the other party's previous position as head of the Hong Kong office, this is definitely a promotion.

However, it is both an opportunity and a challenge. It is equivalent to asking the other party to leave the familiar Hong Kong market and go to the unfamiliar London and Europe to open up markets.

Judging from the look of Li Yaozu's body being hollowed out, the other party must have been working very hard during this period and cherished this promotion opportunity.

This makes Xia Jingxing quite satisfied. Those who can fight hard are good brothers!

Following Li Yaozu's introduction, Xia Jingxing shook hands with the other seven or eight senior managers from the London office who came to greet him, including people from Hong Kong who had been transferred there, as well as British people who were familiar with the local market.

Xia Jingxing knew about such a team arrangement because Li Yaozu had asked him for advice.

He didn't comment too much and only replied to Li Yaozu with a six-character email: Feel free to do whatever you want!

After a brief exchange of greetings, Li Yaozu asked Xia Jingxing to get in the car, and then a convoy of more than a dozen cars drove toward the City of London.

Envision Capital's London office is in Canary Wharf. Although it is also called the City, it is generally called the New City, corresponding to the Old City of London, four miles to the west.

When Li Yaozu was choosing an office address, he sent photos of the old and new financial cities to Xia Jingxing, and it was up to his boss to decide where to locate.

Xia Jingxing likes the modern and technological New Financial City, but dislikes the Old Financial City. Not to mention the narrow streets, the old buildings look as dreary as the British Empire, and are very similar to the row of architectural styles on the Bund.

In the eyes of others, it may be a culturally protected building that bears witness to the vicissitudes of history, but in Xia Jingxing's eyes, it is the filth, despicability and decadence of the colonial world.

"Mr. Xia, here we are, this is our London office."

After the motorcade arrived at Canary Wharf, Li Yaozu ran out of the car first and opened the door for Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing got out of the car and took a look at the surrounding environment.

Next to the Thames River, there are many skyscrapers, all one or two hundred meters high. As far as he knows, more than 100,000 financial practitioners work here.

It was the rush hour for work, and white-collar workers in suits and ties were rushing into the surrounding buildings in groups. Apart from their different faces and hair colors, they had a sense of déjà vu in Lujiazui.

Although Britain is getting older and London's financial status in the world continues to decline, the dividends gained from colonizing the world for hundreds of years can still be reaped for a long time.

At this time, London was not only the largest source of cross-border loans for international banks, but also the largest foreign exchange market and over-the-counter derivatives trading market in the world. London gold also enjoyed a pivotal position in the international gold market...

It can only be said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse, and the stolen money left by the robber ancestors can still cause trouble for a while.

Today, he came to the Great Empire to collect some interest on behalf of the ancestors who suffered from colonialism. If the anti-smoking hero knew about this, he would also be gratified.

Anyway, shorting British financial stocks, Xia Jingxing didn't have any psychological burden at all, and was even more excited than shorting the United States.

Seeing his boss looking at the surrounding buildings in a daze, Li Yaozu thought he wanted to enjoy the scenery, so he pointed to the surrounding buildings and introduced: "This one is the European headquarters building of Citibank, that one is the European headquarters building of Lehman Brothers, and that one is HSBC Tower…”

Xia Jingxing smiled and nodded. They were all very good buildings. Maybe one or two of them were destined to be related to him.

"The tallest building is where our London office is located. According to your instructions, Mr. Xia, we have rented the 49th floor."

Xia Jingxing looked in the direction of Li Yaozu's finger. In the center of the building complex, there was a square building. It stood out like a flock of chickens in a row of more than 100 meters of buildings around it. There was also a pyramid on the top of the building. It looked like Quite unique.

"It's called First Canada Square, also known as Canary Wharf Tower. It was built in 1991. It is 235.1 meters high and has 50 floors. It is the tallest building in London and even the entire UK."

Xia Jingxing nodded slightly and then asked: "Developed by a Canadian company?"

Li Yaozu said with a smile: "Yes, otherwise why would we call it First Canada Plaza? You know, it's the Five Eyes Alliance. You better wear a pair of pants."

Xia Jingxing chuckled, it was true, Japan and South Korea would not dare to build a First Japan Plaza or a First South Korea Plaza in their former suzerain country, otherwise they would be beaten to death.

"Mr. Xia, look at the Thames River over there."

Xia Jingxing turned around and glanced at Li Yaozu, "What's wrong?"

Li Yaozu lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Many people say that this is the dragon vein of the Great Empire, and it is the most prosperous place in London. That's why so many financial companies and banks gather here to make money!"

Seeing that Xia Jingxing still didn't believe it, Li Yaozu drew a semicircle towards the building in front of him, "The Thames River flows through it, forming an arc-shaped surround on both sides of Canary Wharf. This semicircular waterway is also called Gold with water pattern.

Where gold is associated with water, there will be endless wealth and long-lasting wealth. In terms of Feng Shui, this kind of water situation can gather Qi. Once Qi is gathered, Feng Shui will naturally be good. "

Xia Jingxing was stunned and asked, "Who said this?"

Li Yaozu pointed to the HSBC Bank Tower next to him, "I heard that HSBC's chief executive brought a Feng Shui master from Hong Kong to have a look at it. Don't you think HSBC's business is quite prosperous?

Not only the world's major financial and banking giants favor this place, but also many wealthy mainland businessmen in Hong Kong like to come here to buy property. It's a treasure! An absolute investment treasure! "

Xia Jingxing couldn't hold it in any longer and laughed out loud: "We are new here, so we will definitely not be able to compete with others in Feng Shui! Did you bring Mr. Guan over?"

Li Yaozu nodded heavily and said with joy: "I must have brought it, and it is Mr. Guan who is carrying a knife. The blade of the Qinglong Yanyue Knife is facing the HSBC Tower!

Mr. Xia, don’t worry, ours is hidden indoors and will not reveal its target like the Bank of China Tower. It will definitely break HSBC’s Feng Shui bureau! "

"Well done! Every day when you go to work from now on, remember to burn two sticks of incense for Mr. Guan first! Whether he can open up a new situation in the UK depends on whether his knife is sharp enough!"

After patting Li Yaozu on the shoulder, Xia Jingxing walked towards the building with a smile on his face.

Li Yaozu was stunned and felt that what the boss said made sense!

With one cut, it's 100 million pounds! I’ll pay my respects to you more often in the future!

The more Li Yaozu thought about it, the more reliable he felt, so he chased after Xia Jingxing.
