Reborn as a Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 536 Warehouse Opening Completed (Two in One)

"Yum Fund's long position in gold futures has already been closed. Could it be that Hutchison Whampoa's US$2 million investment is really long? And it is still possible to use leverage to do long?"

Yum Fund's long gold futures orders were financed from HSBC Bank, so when the long orders here were sold, HSBC Bank naturally knew, and Shen Porridge, who specially arranged for people to watch, also got the report immediately.

At first, Shen Congee didn't think much about it, but now that Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has risen sharply in a short period of time, and a large amount of funds have entered the market to go long, Shen Congee has reason to suspect that these funds are related to Lin Baicheng.

Although Xiangjiang's stock market stipulates that the largest individual shareholder's shareholding ratio of a listed company cannot reach 50%, and can only be lower than 50%, but if you really want to exceed it, you can do it through some means. Shen Congee believes that Lin Baicheng can do it This, and it will not be exposed.

If the funds for being long Hutchison Whampoa are really related to Lin Baicheng, then HSBC’s previous behavior of selling stocks was wrong. stock.

At present, these are just speculations. Whether this is the case or not needs to be inquired about.

That night, Shen Porridge arranged for people to inquire with the executives of Hutchison Whampoa.Many executives of Hutchison Whampoa are British. As long as they are willing to spend money, some news can be obtained.

It's a pity that the next morning, Shen Porridge learned that Wei Li failed in public relations, and the other management didn't get any relevant news, so it can be said that they got nothing.

On this day, the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa went up in the shock. The stock price increase of the day was not very high, but it was 2.77%, and the closing price was 63.45 Hong Kong dollars. The company's total market value exceeded 250 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Today, Hutchison Whampoa's stock price has not risen very much, but the turnover rate is very high. The higher the stock price is, the more people will sell the stock.

On this day, Lin Baicheng, Bao Yugang and others completed a large number of positions with the cooperation funds. In addition to the amount bought yesterday, the positions were established in two days of about 7 million Hong Kong dollars.

On the same day, in the middle of the night, New York called, saying that today the international gold price surged and fell back, with the highest price rising to 423.85 US dollars per ounce, but it closed at 412.6 US dollars per ounce, showing a long upper shadow. , the trend is very ugly.

Vivien Kelly and others judged that there will be a long-short game in the international gold price on Thursday, New York time. Once the short position is strong, the gold price will fall below the price of 400 US dollars per ounce.If the bulls are strong, they will fluctuate and rise, but they will not rush too high, and if there is no good news after the rush, the price of gold will inevitably adjust and fall, and the recent increase is too high.

Lin Baicheng asked Vivien Kelly to follow the planned operation. As long as the gold price is above 400 US dollars per ounce, he can close as many orders as he can, and stop the operation when the gold price is lower than 400 US dollars per ounce.

On Thursday, Hutchison Whampoa's share price continued to soar.

However, when Hutchison Whampoa's stock price started to rise today, some empty orders appeared in the futures market. The higher the stock price goes, the more empty orders will appear.

The futures market deals with opponents. Some are bearish on the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa, and naturally there are those who are bullish on the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa. Therefore, the corresponding short orders will naturally be taken by institutions. Share prices were not affected.

Only when the short side borrows stocks from the bank and sells them can the stock price be suppressed, because that is a real sale of stocks.

Today is already Thursday, and Lin Baicheng will ask Hutchison Whampoa to announce the investment profit tomorrow, so it is best to complete the opening of the remaining million Hong Kong dollars today, so the traders in charge of buying today are even more aggressive. up.

只要和记黄埔的股价低于70港币，那么剩下的5亿港币资金就可以不计代价的买入。而昨天和记黄埔的收盘价是63.45港币，距离70港币价位还有10%多一点的涨幅。

With only 5 million Hong Kong dollars in funds, it is not so easy to increase the stock price by 250% in a market with a market value of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars.What's more, there has been a considerable increase in the past, and there is a lot of pressure at 70 Hong Kong dollars. There will be a lot of selling pressure, and it is even more impossible to raise the stock price by 10%.

At noon, Police Commissioner Henry contacted Lin Baicheng and asked Lin Baicheng to drink afternoon tea. Lin Baicheng agreed, but the place to drink tea was not at the Peninsula Hotel, but in the chairman's office of Hutchison Whampoa.

"Lin Sheng!" "Henry!"

When Henry walked into the office, Lin Baicheng told the secretary not to come in and disturb him for a while.

Henry is British, and Lin Baicheng didn't make things difficult for him. They drank black tea.

"Henry, it's rare for you to invite me for afternoon tea, but what's the matter?"

After drinking tea, Lin Baicheng asked with a smile. As the saying goes, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall if you have nothing to do. Henry, who rarely contacted him, suddenly invited him to have afternoon tea. Of course, he thought that the other party had something to do with him.

"Lin Sheng, you are a busy person, and I don't want to disturb your work."

Henry explained, and then said: "It's like this, Lin Sheng, you use the funds we invested in Yum Fund to go long gold futures, and yesterday the price of gold surged and fell back. Everyone is worried that it will fall later, so let me come to Lin Sheng Sheng, you can ask, have our long orders been closed? If not, what is your plan, Lin Sheng?"

In fact, Henry now knows that Yum Fund's long orders have been closed, and knows how much Yum Fund has profited, and he is ecstatic. The reason why he knows it is because Shen Congee told him these things, and Shen Congee told him these things. Do me a favor, and he said yes.

Henry must not show the attitude that he already knows everything, he can only choose to ask Lin Baicheng, and then find a chance to do what Shen Porridge asked him to do.

"I have already closed my long position. When the price of gold broke through 400 US dollars per ounce, although it was not sold at the highest level, compared with our buying price, it has risen a lot, so I chose to close the position. "

Lin Baicheng didn't hide it when he heard the words. Anyway, when the Hutchison Whampoa investment profit is announced tomorrow, investors from Yum Fund will definitely ask about it. Now it's just saying in advance.

"Already sold?"

Henry immediately said: "It's normal not to sell at the highest point, and it's pretty good to be able to sell at a relatively high point. Lin Sheng, can I ask how much the money invested by us people has increased?" In fact, he already knew this Yes, just pretending not to know.

"The fund has already repaid the bank interest and is currently paying taxes. However, the current balance of the fund has been calculated, which is a total of 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars. On average, the principal of all investors has increased by about 8 times."

"Of course, Yum Fund's investment is divided into two parts. The first investment will have a higher rate of return than the second investment. The first investment should have a rate of return of more than ten times. And the return on the second investment is only about five times.”

Lin Baicheng never thought of asking for money from Rye Lihao, Henry, and others. He would also use their relationship to gain a foothold in Xiangjiang and do some things. The money he earned for them should be considered as protection fees.

This is the same as Lin Baicheng doing business in the United States to make friends with the Elephant (Republican) Party. He donates political donations to the Elephant Party's congressmen, senators and other important officials, and throws money to make friends with them. Isn't it another disguised protection fee.

"Even if it's only five times, that's still very high!"

Henry's eyes glowed, releasing the suppressed ecstasy.He invested a total of 300 million Hong Kong dollars, but he invested in two parts. The first investment was 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the second investment was 200 million Hong Kong dollars. Adding up his assets will become more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.

Today, the Hong Kong dollar is not pegged to the pound, but floats freely. The pound has been falling against the dollar over the years, from 1975 pound to 1 dollars in 2.4 to 1 pound to 1.3 dollars today, almost cut in half.

Today's 1 pound is equivalent to nearly 5.5 Hong Kong dollars, and more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to about 400 million pounds. This money is enough for Henry to live a rich life and become a rich man when he retires and returns to the UK.

At this moment, how lucky Henry was that he had given a large sum of money to Lin Baicheng to take care of.When he first invested, he never thought that Lin Baicheng could earn seven or eight times the profit for him, and with a return rate of 50% to 100%, he was very satisfied. He never thought that Lin Baicheng would be so powerful.

"Lin Sheng, you are really amazing! You are the god of investment, God's messenger in the world!"

Facing Henry's praise, Lin Baicheng was not humble either. He smiled and said, "I dare not say anything else. I still have some experience in investment. Since Henry, you entrusted me to take care of the money, then I will not Let you down."

Henry immediately said: "We have always firmly believed that Lin Sheng, your investment will make money!"

"Thank you."

Smiling, Lin Baicheng took the initiative and said: "I'm going to find a time to call the investors together, but I know everyone is very busy, especially our Hong Kong governor, so Henry, you can find someone to discuss and arrange it. , when the time comes, I will tell you about the arrangements for the funds of the fund, which is related to everyone's interests."

"I'm sure everyone will find time."

Henry nodded, but he knew that the Governor of Hong Kong invested 500 million US dollars, 2100 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the most invested among all investors.Even if the Governor of Hong Kong invests for the second time and only has a five-fold rate of return, that is $2500 million, a profit of $2000 million, and more than £1500 million. In Britain, he is definitely a rich and upper class.

Henry is sure that the Governor of Hong Kong must feel the same as him after learning about it.Although the Governor of Hong Kong has handled a lot of money, including hundreds of millions and billions of Hong Kong dollars, the money does not belong to him, it belongs to the Hong Kong government, it belongs to London, and it is not of the same nature as the profit of 2000 million US dollars.

Lin Baicheng said: "That's good, I'll trouble you, Henry, to connect you with this matter."

"Lin Sheng, you are welcome, this is what I should do."

After waving his hand, Henry then asked curiously: "Lin Sheng, Hutchison Whampoa's $2 million fund should also be long gold futures, right? Presumably this time it will also make a lot of money, right?"

"Why do you care about this?"

Lin Baicheng looked at Henry with some puzzlement. What happened to Hutchison Whampoa should have nothing to do with Henry.

Henry explained: "Hutchison Whampoa is Lin Sheng's company. I was a little curious, so I asked casually."

"You will know this tomorrow, and Hutchison Whampoa will announce it to the public."

Lin Baicheng smiled secretly, but he didn't think too much about it, he was just keeping it a secret.

"Tomorrow? Then I'll wait and see."

Hearing this, Henry didn't ask any more questions. He was just helping Shen Porridge to find out. If he could find out the best, it had nothing to do with him. He didn't want to affect his relationship with Lin Baicheng because of it. He still wanted to continue to hug him Lin Baicheng's thighs allowed his wealth to continue to grow.

Lin Baicheng and Henry chatted for a while, then Henry left and Lin Baicheng sent Henry out of the office.

After Henry left, he returned to the police station, called Shen Congee, and told Shen Congee what he had heard.

Shen Congee was a little disappointed after hearing this. He wanted to know in advance whether Hutchison Whampoa's investment had made money, and if so, how much he had earned, instead of waiting for Hutchison Whampoa to announce it to the public tomorrow and let everyone know at the same time.

However, Shen Porridge tried all the methods he could think of, so he had to give up.He was not going to ask Lin Baicheng himself, because he knew that Lin Baicheng would probably not tell him the answer, so he would not be ashamed.

The Hutchison Whampoa stock experienced huge fluctuations, and Shen Congee, who had no way of getting inside information, had to let the investment department decide whether to participate.

At about three o'clock, Shen Congee, who was concerned about the stock price trend of Hutchison Whampoa, learned from his subordinates that there was an institution borrowing Hutchison Whampoa shares from HSBC, obviously to be short. When the institution borrowed shares, Hutchison Whampoa's share price was HK$66.35 .

This institution borrowed 5000 million Hong Kong dollars of stocks with a principal of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, using ten times leverage, apparently betting that the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa would not break through the previous high price of 70 Hong Kong dollars.

Securities lending is a bank's business, and HSBC will definitely lend stocks. As long as the interest is suitable, it will not refuse door-to-door business.

As of the close, HSBC had lent a total of 8.5 million Hong Kong dollars in Hutchison Whampoa shares, but Hutchison Whampoa's stock price closed at 66.97 Hong Kong dollars, and did not fall due to a large number of stock sales.

Some people are short Hutchison Whampoa, while others are naturally long. Each institution has its own reasons for being bullish and bearish.

Until the last moment, no one dared to say that their judgment was correct.

Because a lot of funds chose to sell stocks to short Hutchison Whampoa, the remaining 5 million Hong Kong dollars of the funds cooperated by Lin Baicheng, Bao Yugang and others completed the opening of positions today, and the 12 billion Hong Kong dollars raised on Monday were in these three days. Buy all Hutchison Whampoa stocks.

However, although the warehouse building has been completed, the cost is not small. The cost price of the following 12 billion Hong Kong dollars is around 63 Hong Kong dollars.Unlike the 12 billion Hong Kong dollars in the previous bottom-hunting funds, the cost price is only a little over 50 Hong Kong dollars, which is less than 50.5 Hong Kong dollars, which is quite a difference.

Fortunately, although the cost price is not low, once the huge benefits of Hutchison Whampoa are announced, the stock price will inevitably rise sharply. When the stock price of Hutchison Whampoa breaks through the price of 70 Hong Kong dollars, the subsequent 12 billion Hong Kong dollars can also make a fortune. Not to mention 12 million Hong Kong dollars.

And Lin Baicheng, who learned that all the funds had completed the warehouse, decided to announce the good news tomorrow. Just by tomorrow, all the funds belonging to Hutchison Whampoa will be transferred to the accounts of Hutchison Whampoa in several banks.
