Chapter 0406 Opening of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange

There is a phenomenon in the British political ecology called the shadow cabinet, which is the largest opposition party. It selects influential party members from the House of Commons and sets up "shadow ministers" or "shadow ministers" corresponding to the ministries of the cabinet authorities. In peacetime and the cabinet

To sing the opposite, once they win the election and come to power in the future, this team will basically become the cabinet intact.

Mrs. Thatcher entered politics in 1950. It has been more than 20 years now. However, it was not until 1967 that she entered the shadow cabinet and served successively as shadow energy secretary, shadow transport secretary, and shadow education.

Minister.

When the Conservative Party won the British general election in 1970, Mrs Thatcher entered the official cabinet as Minister of Education and Science.

In February 1974, the Conservative Party lost the British general election, and Mrs. Thatcher became a member of the shadow cabinet and became the Secretary of State for the Environment.

In the past year, Mrs Thatcher unexpectedly successfully challenged Heath and was elected leader of the Conservative Party. After more than a year of running-in, she basically secured her position.

But judging from these experiences, Mrs. Thatcher's economic policy ideas may not be as "formed" as Gao Xian hoped.

Gao Xian didn't care what economic theory Mrs. Thatcher believed in. As long as he privatized British state-owned enterprises such as British Telecom and British Petroleum, he could bring his advantage of information asymmetry into play.

Therefore, in this meeting with Mrs. Thatcher, Gao Xian made great efforts to test the situation without revealing any trace, for fear that the other party would show signs of going astray.

Before the end of the banquet, Gao Xian and Mrs. Thatcher agreed on a business trip plan. Taking advantage of the celebration of the bicentennial of the founding of the United States, a large number of British dignitaries, including the British royal family, attended the Fourth of July event. Thatcher

My wife had a contact with the American economics community.

After testing out Mrs. Thatcher, there happened to be a flight to Tehran, so Gao Xian took the first step and went to Iran.

The name of the trip was for Gao Xian to inspect the operations of the Tehran branch of Advantage Bank. The essence was that Gao Xian wanted to see the local situation with his own eyes, especially to meet King Pahlavi.

Living in the secularized Tehran of this era, Gao Xian couldn't help but sigh again. Extravagance is really prevalent. A proof of this is that the racecourse run by He Hongshen is famous in the Middle East. The venue is very popular and prosperous.

.

At a glance, it looked like a peaceful and prosperous age, but Gao Xian, who had no information advantage, could vaguely feel the crisis in the prosperous age.

Although he found some ways, Gao Xian still did not see King Pahlavi, saying that he was going to a resort to recuperate.

Gao Xian refused to give up and contacted Bush in the United States. The information he received was that it was now difficult for even the U.S. ambassador to Iran to meet King Pahlavi. According to information obtained by the CIA, King Pahlavi was indeed there.

Heal your body.

After summarizing the intelligence from all parties, Gao Xian muttered to himself, how could there not be undercurrents surging in Tehran during the prosperous times? King Pahlavi has concentrated power in one body, but he is hiding from people, and the country is running completely according to inertia.

Social conflicts will only accumulate and become more and more serious.

Seeing that there was still some time, Gao Xian simply carefully inspected the operations of the Tehran branch of the bank.

Generally speaking, this branch operates tepidly. The largest customer is He Hongshen's racecourse. In addition, dignitaries in Tehran and even more wealthy people in the Middle East are interested in the Xiangjiang Gold Market, which ranks among the three largest gold markets in the world.

I am also very interested in it, and it has also spawned a lot of financial management businesses.

Let's leave it like this for now. Xiangjiang is still waiting for him to preside over the opening of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange. Gao Xian returned to Xiangjiang after instructing his subordinates to establish good relations with the local forces in Tehran.

The Xiangjiang Futures Exchange is located in Xinhua People's Bank, and the layout has been completed at this time.

The location of the New China People's Bank in the Central Financial District is not bad, and in the initial stage after the opening of the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange, the pressure on office space will not be too great. It is not Gao Xian's selfish intention to settle in the New China People's Bank.

In addition, in order to show its strong support for the newly established Xiangjiang Futures Exchange, the People's Bank of China has granted the largest discount on rent for three years.

In fact, the Hong Kong Futures Exchange itself will not be accessible to everyone like the four major stock exchanges in Hong Kong, because the threshold for participation and the degree of mastery of the rules of the game are limited.

As the main founder of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange, Gao Xian presided over the last preparatory meeting before its opening.

Hong Kong Financial Secretary Harry Xia Dingji, representatives of various banks, chairman of the four stock exchanges, etc. were all present and unanimously approved the organizational structure, rules and regulations, director list and other matters.

Of course, Gao Xian was elected as the first chairman of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange, which is what everyone expected.

Then the Hong Kong Futures Exchange held a press conference, and the board of directors headed by Gao Xian answered media questions.

It is worth mentioning that Gao Xian told reporters present that the first batch of 50 brokerage licenses of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange have all been bought by local brokers in Hong Kong, as well as from Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom and other places.

The Hong Kong Futures Exchange has been a futures trading platform for the international market since its birth.

Another reporter asked: "Will the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange add new trading products in addition to gold, sugar, and cotton in the future?"

"There is no doubt that new trading varieties will be added, and we don't have to wait too long." Gao Xian gave a positive reply, "In addition, the new trading varieties will include financial derivatives. For example, the Xiangjiang Futures Exchange is working with regular

The Financial Secretary of the Government and the Banking Association are exploring the launch of the Hong Kong dollar foreign exchange index."

Needless to say, the opening day of the Hong Kong Futures Exchange was a lively one. Hong Kong Governor MacLehose attended the event and delivered a speech.

More realistically, there are gold in London, sugar in Southeast Asia, cotton in the United States...etc., they were traded by investors, and they got off to a pretty good start.

In fact, Gao Xian is more concerned about the financial derivatives that will be launched later.

As for the deeper thoughts, it is not enough for outsiders to understand.

Thanks to the recovery of the Hong Kong stock market, the presence of the Far East Exchange has been restored, and Li Fuzhao, chairman of the Far East Exchange, was in a good mood. At the celebration reception later, he held Gao Xian's hand with high spirits and said: "I didn't expect you to trade from the Far East.

The exchange has accomplished such a great feat within just a few years of its existence! If my Far East Exchange and your Futures Exchange are combined, the world will be ours!"

ps: I bow and thank my book friend Time Ruxi for the reward!!!
