My Age of Investment

The next day.

Hong Kong Island, which had been raining heavily all day yesterday, has returned to its cloudless appearance. Under the bright sunshine, countless yachts are rippling on the blue waves.

Xia Jingxing was shirtless and wearing sunglasses, lying lazily on the deck of the yacht and basking in the sun.

After a while, Liu Xiaoduo, wearing a white shirt and gray one-step skirt, climbed up the stairs with high heels and arrived at the uppermost deck area of ​​the yacht.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Huang Shengguo is here."

Hearing this, Xia Jingxing stood up, took off his sunglasses, and looked back.

"Xiao Yueyue", who was wearing a well-tailored black suit, first nodded politely to Liu Xiaoduo who was leading the way, and then walked towards Xia Jingxing with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Xia, long time no see. How are you doing?"

"That's it, the market is not good, so I can only take some time to bask in the sun and try to take away some bad luck."

"Haha, Mr. Xia, you really know how to joke. If your words spread, traders in the global financial community will shed tears."

Xia Jingxing smiled and did not answer.

After he asked Bill Huang to sit down, he asked him what he wanted to drink.

"Just give me a glass of juice. I haven't had a drink in a long time."

Xia Jingxing gave Bill Huang a meaningful look. This guy was a devout Christian. In his previous life, he often donated hundreds of millions of dollars to Christian churches, but he lived a very poor and self-disciplined life.

In the financial industry, the lower-level employees are more luxurious and exaggerated, and they like to use money to relieve work stress.

And all of the financial tycoons seem to know how to restrain their desires and cultivate their hearts and minds.

This is because the bosses are also under a lot of pressure, and often one inadvertent decision can destroy the entire company.

Xia Jingxing did not practice deliberately on weekdays. People with low awareness like him could only practice Joy Zen and find the joy of life in the world of mortals.

The waiter brought a glass of orange juice, and Bill Huang took out the glass from the tray and drank most of it in one go.

Xia Jingxing poured himself a glass of whiskey in a leisurely manner and tasted it carefully.

Without letting Xia Jingxing wait too long, Bill Huang took the initiative and said, "Mr. Xia, let me update you on the results of Tiger Asia Fund in the first half of the year."

Xia Jingxing smiled, nodded and said, "Okay, Abel said you made great achievements in the first half of the year."

Bill Huang smiled and then talked about the operating performance of Tiger Asia Fund in the first half of the year.

"We are also shorting heavily this year, and our asset management scale has increased from US$5 billion at the beginning of the year to US$8 billion today."

While speaking, Bill Huang also made a point of observing the subtle expressions on Xia Jingxing's face. The latter had an expression that was unwavering, and did not seem to be too surprised or curious about this result.

This further confirmed Bill Huang's suspicion!

Vision Capital must be shorting, and the short-selling methods are very hidden. Most of them are investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley acting as tools for buying and selling stocks!

The most important thing is that Vision Capital’s profit from short selling must be more than Tiger Asia’s profit of US$3 billion, and it is many times more!

Thinking of this, Bill Huang suppressed his curiosity and said in a calm tone: "Although the global stock market had its ups and downs in the first half of the year, it was still falling overall.

This kind of non-unilateral downward market adds a lot of obstacles to short selling and makes a lot less profit.

For example, during the rebound in July, Tiger Asia gave up a lot of profits. "

Bill Huang adjusted the black-framed glasses on his nose, and a pair of small eyes under the lenses kept staring at Xia Jingxing.

Xia Jingxing chuckled. He had already heard that this Korean guy was trying to attract others!

But shorting global stock markets is a core secret of Vision Capital and cannot be easily disclosed to others.

So, Xia Jingxing pretended to be dumbfounded and said: "Yes, the New York office informed me of this rebound. Originally we wanted to rush into the stock market to short-sell, but we were frightened back halfway."

Bill Huang felt that Xia Jingxing was a bit insincere. He did not believe that Vision Capital, which had made great achievements in the subprime derivatives market last year, would miss this year's market.

In the first half of this year, countless financial institutions on Wall Street rushed into various trading markets to sell short, and then liquidated their positions bloody...

However, these institutions that have been jointly strangled by the market and capital are all small institutions. The truly large institutions are still very stable and will not be wiped out by the shock of the market.

For example, their Tiger Asia Fund also had losses and profits in the first half of the year. They tried to stop losses and close positions countless times, but in the end they survived one by one and made good profits.

He does not believe that Vision Capital, which only entered the top 10 hedge funds this year, will perform worse than Tiger Asia.

He felt that Xia Jingxing still didn't trust him, or that the other party's short selling amount was larger than he thought and it was inconvenient to disclose it.

Bill Huang, who had vaguely guessed some key points, simply stopped testing and simply stated his purpose directly: "The Hong Kong stock market is too calm. I have been investigating it for more than half a year and decided to create some trouble for it. , let the market change."

Xia Jingxing smiled and said: "Although Hong Kong Island is not big, the trading market is not small, with a total market value of more than ten trillion Hong Kong dollars.

With all due respect, Tiger Asia does not yet have the ability to stir up troubles. "

Bill Huang smiled faintly, "It depends on people. Although Tiger Asia Fund does not have the ability to stir up troubles, we can find allies."

Xia Jingxing shook his head and laughed: "If you want to repeat the scene in 1998, I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. At that time, the mainland did not have much foreign exchange, with just over 100 billion US dollars, but it still beat back the international investment led by Quantum Fund. Speculators.

The mainland's foreign exchange reserves are now nearly US$2 trillion, while Hong Kong Island's own foreign exchange reserves are about US$160 billion.

Whoever dares to take a bite may have his teeth chipped. "

Bill Huang smiled and said: "I know about the battle that happened ten years ago. I was already involved in the financial industry at that time, and I also studied that financial incident afterwards.

I'm not going to be bold enough to short currencies and exchange rates, I mean to be aggressive in the stock market. "

Xia Jingxing said calmly: "The stock market is very difficult!"

Bill Huang suppressed his smile and said seriously: "We only target a few stocks and shoot all the bullets at them."

Xia Jingxing took a deep look at Bill Huang, who looked at him with a smile on his face.

"Haha~"

Xia Jingxing suddenly laughed out loud, "If we just short a few stocks, Tiger Asia alone can handle it, right?"

Bill Huang did not answer the question, and suddenly said in a confused manner: "Mr. Xia, I remember that your relationship with Mr. Li from Hong Kong Island does not seem to be very harmonious.

More than a month ago, Lai Kee Telecom International cooperated with Wisdom Fruit to introduce iPhone 3G to the Hong Kong Island market.

The mobile phone brand founded by compatriots across the river, its performance in all aspects is no worse than Wisdom Fruit, but it is ignored by them.

In Chinese terms: This is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf! "

Bill Huang started to make excuses, but Xia Jingxing was no longer stunned and said with a smile: "Business is free, no one can force anyone."

Bill Huang said with a "hehe" smile: "You are right, business is free.

By the way, Mr. Xia, I found that the stock trading of Lai Kee Telecom International has been extremely active recently, with a large number of selling orders.

It seems that the people of Hong Kong Island are not very optimistic about the development of Lai Kee Telecom International. "

Xia Jingxing had a faint smile on his face. At this moment, he was sure that the old stickman opposite him had connected the truth of the whole matter through some clues.

It's not that they don't do things carefully enough, but the fund is so big that even if it's someone else's vest, it will leave some traces.

Envision Capital is no longer what it used to be. Since becoming one of the top ten hedge funds, it has received much more attention than before.

Countless people began to use magnifying glasses to observe every move of Vision Capital.

This is both a sign of influence and a baggage.

"Tell me, what's your plan?"

Bill Huang smiled like an old fox. He knew that the young tycoon sitting opposite would be interested in his plan.
