My Age of Investment

Xia Jingxing took the mobile phone from Liu Xiaoduo and swiped the screen to answer the call.

I heard a deep male voice on the other end of the phone speak quickly in English: "Mr. Xia, my hunting has begun!"

Hearing Bill Huang's words, Xia Jingxing's face flashed with excitement, but he just replied lightly: "I understand."

Huang Shengguo on the other end of the phone was a little disappointed, why did he react like this? Not to mention shouting, you should at least hum a few times!

This is taking pictures of cucumbers! They are declaring war on top Asian conglomerates like their hometown Samsung!

Is this the result? It's unbelievable to be calm.

But he soon felt relieved. Mr. Xia was used to big winds and waves, and he really didn't necessarily take a small Lihuangtai seriously.

Huang Shengguo suppressed the throbbing in his heart, calmed down a lot, and began to report his actions to Xia Jingxing in a calm tone.

"Tiger Asia has prepared US$2 billion to explore the road ahead this time. Within three days, we will drive down the stock prices of Lai Kee Whampoa, Huanghe Industrial, and Lai Kee Telecommunications International by at least 20%."

"At the same time, we will spread bad news about the three target listed companies on a large scale in the market and create market panic."

"But the Li family will definitely not sit still and wait for death. At this time, we need Mr. Xia to take action!"

After saying that, Huang Shengguo waited quietly for Xia Jingxing's reply.

Xia Jingxing could not use the Li family as a source of support, but they, Tiger Asia Fund, could not.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the operation was foolproof, he roped in Vision Capital to do this big deal.

Of course, Vision Capital is not something he can easily command.

In order to get Xia Jingxing to join the team, Bill Huang also showed enough sincerity and said that he would come first. The initial US$2 billion in short-selling funds was his investment certificate for Xia Jingxing.

"The Lai family's cash reserves are as high as hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars. The butt of such a tiger is easily untouchable."

Bill Huang repeatedly said yes on the phone. He had investigated this clearly, otherwise he would not have invited Vision Capital to act as a backup rather than suffer some losses.

Who doesn't want to eat fat meat, but if you choke to death, it becomes a joke.

"You should proceed as planned. First, lead the snake out of the hole. I am fully prepared."

Xia Jingxing said coldly: "As long as the Li family dares to show up this time, I will definitely teach them a lesson they will never forget."

Hearing this, Bill Huang finally put his heart into his belly.

His biggest worry was that Xia Jingxing would betray his teammates. If no reinforcements arrived in three days, he would be among the people on the rooftop.

However, he also kept a secret. The US$2 billion only accounts for a quarter of the total asset management scale of Tiger Asia Fund of US$8 billion.

In order to make things happen in Hong Kong Island, he has liquidated all the fund's investment portfolios and converted them all into cash, so he has plenty of bullets.

In addition, he had found out all the grievances between Xia Jingxing and the Li family, and they would not be reconciled easily.

The most important thing is that he has discovered clues that Vision Capital is shorting the three major listed companies.

It was precisely because of all the above reasons that he made up his mind to invite Xia Jingxing on board the ship to work together on a great cause.

Otherwise, he is not a fool and would never dare to play such a big role.

After a few words of instruction, Xia Jingxing hung up Huang Shengguo's call.

Then he closed his eyes and began to relax on the soft and comfortable back seat of the car.

He didn't have any special trust in Huang Shengguo. It was the interests that brought the two sides closer and closer.

Moreover, Huang Shengguo volunteered to be the pioneer and took most of the risks. Can he refuse this kind of deal?

However, Vision Capital did have little liquidity. In order to ensure the safety of this operation, he transferred the US$10 billion in the Vision Capital reserve account.

The reserve account is a ballast that he will not touch easily.

A few months ago, the U.S. financial market went back and forth. He first withdrew $1 billion from the reserve account, which was once as high as $14 billion, to finance Renaissance Industries, and then withdrew $1 billion to inject capital into Greenlight Capital...

In addition, the teams of Liu Hai and Jiang Ping continued to add margin calls from time to time in order not to reduce their positions, and the reserve account once dropped to only three to four billion US dollars.

By this month, the reserve account was resurrected with full blood, not only successfully returning to its peak state of US$14 billion, but even exceeding it, reaching US$15 billion.

This is because the teams of Liu Hai and Jiang Ping have made profits and exited several investments in recent months.

For example, Bear Stearns in March, Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in July...

These profit-making funds did not choose to continue to add positions, but were injected into the reserve account.

If you want to live a long life, it is impossible to have a full warehouse. The word "Gou" needs to be kept in mind at all times.

However, it is now September. If nothing else happens, a big event will break out this month, and the importance of the reserve account will also decrease.

So Xia Jingxing decided not to be stubborn and spent 10 billion US dollars to have fun with the Li family.

The remaining US$5 billion can almost cope with all accidents that occur this month and beyond, because after this month it is almost impossible to have a volatile market, but a unilateral market that will fall all the way.

Having said that, whether his 10 billion US dollars can be put to great use depends on whether the Li family is willing to get on the card table.

Huang Shengguo's significance to Vision Capital is similar to that of Green Light Capital. They are both pushed out to gain fire.

After all, this is Hong Kong Island, and we still need to pay attention to unity.

It is not appropriate for him to stand out in the limelight. Wouldn't it be nice to let Koreans use mainlanders' money to short Canadian companies in the Hong Kong stock market?

The car drove all the way to the downstairs of the China International Financial Center Phase 2 Building, and then slowly stopped.

Xia Jingxing recovered his thoughts, got out of the car, and took the elevator to the office on the 49th floor.

It was already noon, around 12 o'clock.

The Hong Kong stock market is closed from 12 o'clock to 1 p.m., but the employees in the lobby did not take a break. Dozens of people were sitting at their workstations, staring at the six large screens in front of them, as if they were on a drug. It pulses with financial information and data from global markets.

Seeing Xia Jingxing coming, Ye Shuhui, who was chatting with an employee in the lobby, immediately ran over with a happy face.

She didn't say anything and followed Xia Jingxing quietly. It wasn't until she entered the chairman's office that she said, "Xia Sheng, after the market opened today, there were a lot of selling orders for the three target companies! The trading volume was unusually active! "

Xia Jingxing sat on the boss's chair and nodded slightly, then went to operate the Bloomberg terminal on the table and said: "Tiger Asia has already started the operation. It will cost 2 billion US dollars, about 15.6 billion Hong Kong dollars. It will be launched within three days." The goal is to drive down the share prices of the three companies by at least 20%."

Ye Shuhui was not too shocked when she heard these words.

Because she is the highest-level employee of Vision Capital's Hong Kong office, "Director D," Xia Jingxing has already told her all the plans.

Ye Shuhui smiled and said: "This morning alone, Lai Kee Telecom International fell by more than 10%, and Lai Kee Whampoa and Huanghe Industrial also fell by 5% each.

Lai Kee Telecommunications International should have caught up with the press conference of Fuxing Mobile and SmarTone, and the decline was so large, but Lai Kee Whampoa and Huanghe Industrial were actually hit with sales orders. "

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly, said nothing, and began to focus on checking the stock price changes of three stocks on the Bloomberg terminal.

After a while, he said: "The stock prices of Lai Kee Whampoa and Huanghe Industrial have fallen a lot this year, but their combined market value still stands at HK$600 billion.

These are two Hong Kong stock giants, deeply trusted by retail investors, and have been given two nicknames, namely "No. 13 Boy" and "No. 1 Boy".

Do you believe it or not, if they don’t continue to smash the market, the stock prices of these two boys will rebound soon? "

Ye Shuhui smiled and nodded, "Of course I believe it. Li Huangtai is almost portrayed as the God of Wealth in Hong Kong Island. Although the people at the bottom hate him, they also envy him and trust him."

"The Li family holds about 51% and 40% of the shares in the two companies respectively. The circulation is not high, and the difficulty of short selling is not low."

Ye Shuhui knew what the boss was worried about and said with a smile: "If he chooses to be a coward, then we will smash the market with all our strength. Tens of billions will be poured in. If you don't believe it, you won't be able to get a floor price."

“What if Le Hoang Tai increases his holdings?”

Ye Shuhui pondered for a moment before replying: "It depends on how determined he is willing to be. If he continues to increase his holdings by tens or hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars as before, it will not be able to boost much market confidence."

"What if someone comes up with a holdings increase plan of 10 billion or 100 billion Hong Kong dollars?"

A flash of worry flashed between Ye Shuhui's eyebrows. She swallowed her words several times and said quietly: "Generally speaking, Li Huangtai wouldn't do that. It's not cost-effective. He is too shrewd."

Xia Jingxing was not very satisfied with this answer. There was no point in pinning his hopes of success on his opponent. That was too passive.

Li Huangtai can definitely spend hundreds of billions of dollars!

If a short seller offends this old man, he is very likely to be killed.

Even Xia Jingxing is also very afraid of this. Lihuangtai's foundation is too strong and generally speaking, it is difficult to shake.

If he didn't have a trump card in his hand, he wouldn't have come to destroy the stars on behalf of the moon because of some personal grudge.

"Go down, be ready to take action at any time!"
