Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

At the same time that the Bright Fund bought HSBC Holdings with great fanfare in the UK, it was also secretly buying the shares of Barclays Bank.

Having been in the quagmire for so long, Barclays' market value has already exceeded £4 billion.

The Bright Fund went dark and then bright. It acquired a total of 14.5 percent of the equity from the stock market and spent a total of 497 million pounds.

George Berkeley wanted to acquire more shares, but when he acquired more than 11% of the shares, he was discovered by the Rothier family.

Afterwards, the Rothschild family immediately invested funds to rush to raise funds, so that the Bright Fund did not increase its shareholding ratio to more than 15%, regrettably missing the third board seat.

However, the initial 10% stake and two board seats in the plan have been completed.

After the Bright Fund entered Barclays Bank, the Rothschild family was furious, but had no choice but to let it go temporarily, waiting for an opportunity to clear the Bright Fund out in the future.

After Xia Yu, who was far away in Xiangjiang, learned the specific situation, he couldn't help laughing in the office.

The Standard Chartered Bank side, the plan is also very smooth.

Although Standard Chartered Bank of South Africa is the largest commercial bank in South Africa, it is also the largest commercial bank in Africa.

However, due to the economic backwardness of Africa, in fact, the total assets of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa are only 5.4 billion US dollars, and the original market value before the crisis is only more than 320 million US dollars.

Shares in South Africa's Standard Chartered Bank were halved after falling into the spiral of Latin America's sovereign debt crisis.

Standard Chartered Bank already holds 39% of the shares of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa, so it is not difficult to acquire the equity of other shareholders.

When the market value of Standard Chartered Bank in South Africa fell below US$150 million, Standard Chartered Bank acquired it at a premium for efficiency.

In the end, Standard Chartered Bank of South Africa was privatized at a cost of US$98.6 million and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Standard Chartered Bank.

In this way, Xia Yu's hand also reached into South Africa, the most developed country in Africa.

Asia, North America, Europe and Africa all have representative banks.

Although there are no representative banks in Oceania and South America, whether it is HSBC, Royal Bank of Scotland or Standard Chartered Bank, they all have branches in these two continents, and they have a lot of influence together.

...

Let's talk about the Hong Kong side.

After half a month of bombing propaganda, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange is about to reform, and the news of the launch of the four major commodity futures has not only spread throughout Southeast Asia and island countries, but also in Europe and the United States.

There are hundreds of financial institutions in Heungkong, and at least half of them are branches of international financial institutions. None of them are willing to miss the Heungkong Futures Exchange.

In the past two weeks, these financial institutions have done one thing in addition to meticulously studying the rules of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange and the information of the four major futures.

That is currency exchange!

Convert USD, GBP, JPY and other currencies into HKD.

Because the only trading currency on the Hong Kong Futures Exchange is Hong Kong dollars.

According to the statistics of the Monetary Authority, in less than half a month, the foreign exchange of Hong Kong has increased by more than 3.2 billion US dollars!

This means that in less than half a month, more than 3.2 billion US dollars of foreign capital flowed into Hong Kong.

Some of these funds are temporarily left in the account, ready to enter the futures market.

And some, after analyzing the long-term upward trend of the Hong Kong stock market, they directly invested in the stock market, which directly stimulated the daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market to exceed 2 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In the blink of an eye, it was November 15th.

It's also Monday.

Not far from the Heungkong United Stock Exchange, the Heungkong Futures Exchange held a grand ceremony.

The specifications of the ceremony were not inferior to the establishment of the Heungkong United Stock Exchange, and Xia Yu appeared again as the platform of the Heungkong Futures Exchange.

Subsequently, in the limelight, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange opened and launched natural rubber futures-hk101 futures contracts, Hang Seng Index futures, Nikkei 225 stock index futures and London FTSE 100 stock index futures.

Among them, the natural rubber hk101 contract is supported by the Kepong Group and other Southeast Asian rubber giants. The futures exchange stipulates that one lot is 10 tons, the minimum change unit is 5 Hong Kong dollars per ton, and the minimum transaction margin is 10%.

On November 15, the spot price of natural rubber after exchange was HK$1,092 per ton.

Because natural rubber futures transactions have costs such as delivery fees, inbound and outbound inspection fees, storage fees, transfer fees, transaction fees, capital borrowing costs, value-added tax, etc., the futures contract price is much lower than the spot price.

The price of the first buy order listed by Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. was 9,645 Hong Kong dollars per ton, and the first contract was 100 lots, with a value of nearly 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

If the price of natural rubber futures is higher than this price, then Jiuding Securities Co., Ltd. will naturally make a profit. If it is lower than this price, then it will naturally be a loss.

For Hang Seng Index futures, the total price of a contract is the latest contract point of Hang Seng Index futures multiplied by fifty times the Hong Kong dollar, and the minimum change is 0.1 point.

The trading rules of Hang Seng Index futures. The Hang Seng Index futures contract is a total of four months for this month, the next month and the next two months. The trading time is the same as that of the rubber stock market. The entrusted margin rate of Hang Seng Index futures is 9%. , the transaction margin rate is 6%, and the handling fee is 5/10,000.

The trading rules of Nikkei 225 stock index futures and FTSE 100 stock index futures are the same as those of Hang Seng Index futures contracts.

It’s just because the Nikkei 225 stock index has more than 8,200 points, which is the highest among the three indices. This also means that the cost of each Nikkei 225 stock index futures contract is also the highest, worth more than 400,000 Hong Kong dollars.

After the launch of the four major futures commodities, the long-awaited funds poured in quickly.

Compared with the natural rubber hk101 contract, the trading of the other three major financial stock index futures is more active.

Of course, among the three major futures, the trading volume of Hang Seng Index futures is the least, because the number of long orders far exceeds the number of short orders, which makes it difficult to increase the trading volume, which also reflects from the side that capital is generally bullish on the Hong Kong stock market.

The most traded was the Nikkei 225 stock index futures, which appeared for the first time.

One hour after the market opened, the trading volume of Nikkei 225 stock index futures reached 130 lots, and the turnover exceeded 50 million Hong Kong dollars.

The trading volume of FTSE 100 stock index futures contracts reached more than 37 million Hong Kong dollars.

The Hang Seng Index futures trading volume was more than 16 million Hong Kong dollars.

In one hour, the total contract turnover of Hong Kong Futures Exchange exceeded 100 million Hong Kong dollars!

The one-hour trading volume reached 1/25 of the annual trading volume of the Hong Kong Futures Market last year!

Create the history of Hong Kong futures market!

Moreover, due to the changes in the Nikkei 225 stock index of the island country's stock market that day, the price of the Nikkei 225 stock index futures on the Hong Kong Futures Exchange changed very rapidly, which further stimulated the trading volume.

As soon as the Nikkei 225 stock index rose, financial institutions on the Hong Kong Futures Exchange immediately placed buy orders at higher prices.

Although the futures contract stipulates a time, it is only a time limit, and any institution can close a position at any trading time.

Therefore, some institutions that hold more orders see a profit, and immediately sell the contract in a short-term operation, pocketing the profit.

When the market closed in the afternoon, the staff of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange immediately counted various data, and then reported it to Wang Qi, and Wang Qi reported it to Xia Yu again.

On that day, the total turnover of the natural rubber hk101 contract reached more than 149 million Hong Kong dollars.

The total turnover of Hang Seng Index futures was over HK$132 million.

The total turnover of FTSE 100 stock index futures was over HK$314 million.

The total turnover of Nikkei 225 stock index futures was over HK$646 million.

Plus the trading volume of several futures commodities that still existed.

The total turnover of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange on that day was over HK$1.263 billion!

The trading volume of one day is equivalent to about half of the total annual trading volume of the Hong Kong Futures Market last year!

The transaction fee charged by the Hong Kong Futures Exchange is more than 623,000 Hong Kong dollars.

That night, the transcripts, which appeared very simple and ordinary in Europe and the United States, but were very eye-catching in Hong Kong, were released and interpreted by "Global Satellite TV", which caused a sensation in Hong Kong.

Before 9:30 p.m., the congratulatory calls Xia Yu received did not stop...

PS: Ask for a recommended monthly ticket at the beginning of the month! Thanks!
