My Age of Investment

The motorcade arrived at the downstairs of the China International Finance Center Phase II Building.

The door of the Maybach, which was guarded by several cars in the middle, opened, and Xia Jingxing and Ye Shuhui got out of the car.

Compared to before, Xia Jingxing's face is considered mature in Hong Kong.

Many white-collar workers coming in and out of the building stopped and stepped aside to watch Xia Jingxing, Ye Shuhui and other large groups of people enter the building.

Many people were still whispering to their companions.

"This Xia Sheng is so majestic! I see that he is always surrounded by more than a dozen capable bodyguards when he travels. I don't know, I thought it was the leader of some country coming."

"A rich man! Of course he cherishes his life! But having said that, he caused Li Huangtai to lose more than 300 billion Hong Kong dollars this time. How dare he return to Hong Kong Island? Aren't he afraid of being ambushed by gunmen?"

"Have you watched too many Hong Kong movies? Why do you invite gunmen to ambush you? Li Huangtai himself said that he is a businessman!"

"He is a businessman? How did Brother Hao end up?"

"It's not because of Guangdong Province...oh, I understand!"

"Do you think the Li family will tolerate this?"

"Then how do I know? Otherwise I'll call you a taxi and you go to No. 79 Deep Water Bay Road and ask Lai Wong Tai in person."

"Pick! You must have been bitten by the guard dog before you even entered the door!"

"Hahaha~"

…

With continuous media reports, the whole Hong Kong island is now very interested in the grudges between Xia Jingxing and the Li family.

After dinner, people like to discuss and speculate on how the Li family will avenge this attack.

Since Li Huangtai's debut, more than fifty years ago, the old man has never suffered such a big loss.

With a loss of more than 300 billion, you can tell just by listening to the numbers what grudges and grudges have been made.

Xia Jingxing took the elevator to his office on the 49th floor of the building.

As soon as he walked into the office area, he felt like everyone was watching him.

Countless employees in the office area looked at him with admiration and wonder in their eyes.

The arrogant Lai family, Lai Ban City, and the sky in the eyes of the people of Hong Kong Island were simply wiped out by this smiling young man in front of them.

It took less than a month before and after, which is amazing.

Along the way, Xia Jingxing actually felt the changes in the eyes of the people around him.

Unlike shorting the United States and Europe, he is shorting the Li family's listed companies, basically openly.

Aiming at the face of such a wealthy family and stepping on it hard, it feels really good.

In the past, everyone recognized him as a rich man and an upstart, but they did not think that he could be on an equal footing with the top Chinese plutocrats.

Now, they know it - the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, smashing cucumbers on the chopping board.

Ye Shuhui led the way and led Xia Jingxing and his party into the conference room. Then she used hundreds of pages of PPT to show all the work results of the Hong Kong Island office.

A total of US$10 billion and HK$41.1 billion (triple leverage) were invested in principal, and a total of short-selling profits of HK$62 billion, equivalent to approximately US$8 billion, were made.

In terms of return on investment, the performance of the Hong Kong Island office is slightly lower than that of the New York office.

However, considering that the second batch of US$10 billion invested in short-selling Li's listed companies was only withdrawn from the reserve account a month ago, it is considered very good in terms of capital utilization efficiency, and the funds are not left idle. .

“Counting from September 15, the day when Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy, to today, October 7, within three weeks, the overall market value of Hong Kong stocks fell from 13.7 trillion Hong Kong dollars to 10.8 trillion Hong Kong dollars. Approximately 3 trillion Hong Kong dollars in market value were swallowed up by financial waves.

The Hang Seng Index fell from 19352 points to 15943 points, a drop of more than 17.6%. "

Ye Shuhui made a concluding speech on the stage: "Every time comes, heaven and earth all work together, and there is nothing better than this.

Now the whole Hong Kong Island calls you Xia Sheng, the new generation stock god!

The former old stock god, Fourth Uncle Li Zhaoji has been abandoned by everyone.

He increased his holdings of Hengji Real Estate in April at an average price of HK$57.2. Now Hengji's share price has dropped to HK$29.1, nearly halving. "

Xia Jingxing smiled. Li Zhaoji was known as the God of Asian Stock Markets because of his huge gains in the stock market in the past. However, the old man did not escape the fate of being trapped this time. He and Li Huangtai became a pair of incompetent brothers.

But he didn't dig a hole for the old man. He was more enlightened than Li Huangtai and jumped into the hole on his own initiative.

"What kind of stock god? Ding Xie?"

Xia Jingxing waved his hand, "Hong Kong Island stock investors are so complimentary. We just have better luck."

Ye Shuhui smiled and said nothing. She didn't think it was really "good luck".

Xia Sheng said last month that she would go to the United States to mobilize reinforcements. At that time, she thought she would call several large hedge funds. However, news soon came back that Lehman Brothers was bankrupt. Then the financial turmoil quickly broke out, and three companies owned by the Li family Not only the stocks of listed companies, but also the entire Hong Kong stock market were trembling under the storm.

Isn't this a rescue mission?

She vaguely speculated that the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers was related to Xia Jingxing. It was possible that the New York office was behind it. It was what the media and the US securities regulator SEC called "malicious short-selling hedge funds."

However, if Xia Jingxing didn't intend to talk about such secret matters, she wouldn't take the initiative to ask about them, and she would just let them rot in her stomach.

Don't blame her for overthinking it, the timing of Lehman's collapse was too coincidental.

If it is not God's will, then it can only be man-made.

She believed that it was man-made, and it was Xia Jingxing who laid out this grand plan one after another.

…………

…………

After learning that Xia Jingxing had returned to Hong Kong, the threshold of Envision Capital's Hong Kong office was crossed that day.

The first person to visit was Huang Shengguo.

He was sitting on the sofa, holding a cup of steaming coffee, with an unstoppable smile on his face.

"Darren, we did a great job in this battle! Even my teacher, Mr. Julian Robertson, the founder of Tiger Management, called me to praise me."

Huang Shengguo chuckled, "I told him that you are the real contributor to the success of short selling.

If it weren't for the strong support of Vision Capital, we might have been defeated by the Li family's counterattack, and fell on the eve of the collapse of Lehman Brothers. "

Xia Jingxing smiled slightly, Huang Shengguo's words were not an exaggeration.

Without the assistance of Vision Capital, Tiger Asia Fund might really choose to stop losses and close its positions.

Then Lehman Brothers went bankrupt within two days. Huang Shengguo was probably so angry that he jumped into the sea on the spot.

In short, Huang Shengguo proposed and took the lead in completing this short-selling operation, and his persistence was generously rewarded.

However, because Tiger Asia Fund invested too little principal, only US$2 billion, when Huang Shengguo wanted to increase his position later, news of the collapse of Lehman Brothers had already come, and panic selling broke out in Hong Kong stocks, and Tiger Asia also missed out. Opportunity to add positions.

Tiger Asia only made one-fifth of Envision Capital's profit from shorting the Li family, probably making over a billion US dollars.

Even so, Huang Shengguo was already feeling very happy and satisfied.

After all, investment and reward are directly proportional, so why should they be less courageous?

“Dylan, who are we shorting next?”

Xia Jingxing glanced at Huang Shengguo, who looked eager to give it a try, as if the profit of more than one billion US dollars had not yet satisfied his appetite.

"Continue to short the Li family?" Xia Jingxing said with a smile.

Huang Shengguo smiled when he heard this, "Forget it, staring at a sheep all the time will easily make the sheep bald."
