Today is July 29th, and tomorrow is the last trading day for Hong Kong Hang Seng Index futures. After today, trading of Hang Seng Index futures contracts will no longer be allowed this month.
Through the analysis of that financial war by experts in his previous life, Zhou Hao knew that the main operations of hedge funds such as Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund in the Hong Kong market were to short-sell some stocks first, then short-sell interest rate futures, Hang Seng Index futures and options, and then short-sell
Short-selling Hong Kong dollar futures will end up short-selling Hong Kong stocks in large quantities.
Knowing this, and secretly finding out that there were indeed these large short-selling orders in the Hong Kong market, Zhou Hao determined the plans of Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund, and at the same time quietly carried out the opposite operation. In other words, Soros and
Julian and the others are short sellers, while Zhou Hao is long sellers, and the contract amounts are basically the same. This is equivalent to a bet between Zhou Hao and Soros, and Zhou Hao's bet is bigger than any other bet in the world.
Because he invested almost ten billion dollars in this bet.
This does not include his investment in Russia. The two battlefields in Hong Kong and Russia are closely related. If he makes a mistake, everything will be lost. In that case, Zhou Hao will have a total of more than 20 billion US dollars in assets.
will turn into nothing.
The contracts bought by hedge funds such as Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund all put settlement in August. Zhou Hao also set August 28th as the day for his duel with Soros and Julian.
day.
Zhou Hao also figured out why Soros and the others would advance the war to start today.
The atmosphere in the international financial market is so depressing now. Although the European and American investment banks with Soros as the "leading force" continue to create various rumors about Hong Kong's financial market in order to disturb the minds of Hong Kong. But this has also become a
This is a signal that the Hong Kong government will definitely be aware of this dark cloud atmosphere in the financial market. Moreover, their previous attacks have caused considerable losses to Hong Kong, so it is impossible for Hong Kong not to take precautions.
Soros and the others knew that the recent tactic of advocating the devaluation of the renminbi would have the opposite effect of "alarming the enemy", so they deliberately caused the war to break out in advance and caught the Hong Kong government off guard.
Zhou Hao deduced that in addition to the Hang Seng Index futures contracts that will be settled in August, they must also have a large number of Hang Seng Index futures contracts that will be settled in July.
If the Hong Kong stock market goes down, they will be able to make huge fortunes from the delivery of futures contracts.
And Zhou Hao also asked Willy Weas and others to buy the Hang Seng Index futures contract for delivery in July. Obviously, he wanted to have a warm-up match with Soros and others outside of the big gambling game, because in the current Hong Kong market, holdings settled in July
The largest short sellers of Hang Seng Index futures contracts are definitely the predators led by Soros and Julian.
Because at this time, the bubble in Hong Kong's stock and asset markets had reached its final and astonishing level of madness, and the stock prices of most red-chip stocks with larger market capitalizations were maintaining rapid growth. Even without previous experience, as a person who specializes in finance,
, Zhou Hao also knew that this situation was extremely abnormal.
Under this kind of bubble, investors had exaggerated expectations for the financial market. They poured into financial markets that they were unfamiliar with and could not master, and invested astronomical amounts of money in them. This is why Hong Kong has suffered from international financial markets.
The reason why predators take notice when they smell something fishy.
Zhou Hao knew that Soros and the others had sold tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars in the past two days. Although he still had sufficient funds, it was impossible to complete a transaction of this size in one day under normal procedures.
Yes, but in today's overheated investment atmosphere, the vast majority of stockholders and investors are optimistic about Hong Kong's financial market, and all they hold are long futures contracts.
Therefore, Zhou Hao can buy back the futures contract from these people. Of course, this kind of transaction will not go through the Financial Management Bureau, but will sign a transfer contract with those private investors. However, it is not to buy now, but to wait.
The Hong Kong stock market plummeted due to Soros and his actions, which made investors who bought long contracts feel that they had suffered heavy losses and were almost desperate, so they bought them at a low price.
Song Jiahao and Willie Weas immediately went to carry out Zhou Hao's instructions. They were also very nervous about the enemy suddenly starting a war against Hong Kong in advance, but after feeling the strong confidence shown by Zhou Hao, their fighting spirit also became high.
.
In the general manager's office, Zhou Hao stared intently at the flashing data on the screen, while He Xueyun stood behind him, gently massaging his shoulders.
It is said that men who work hard are the most attractive. Now seeing Zhou Hao's focused look, He Xueyun is also intoxicated. The fierce financial war outside, which involves hundreds of billions, seems not as attractive as Zhou Hao.
.
Noticing He Xueyun's soft gaze, Zhou Hao turned back to look at her, then grabbed her catkins, put them on his face and rubbed them, sighing: "After deploying for so long, the war is finally about to begin."
He Xueyun said: "If the settlement is in August, the Hong Kong government will use all its power to rescue the market, but this month...Soros and the others launched a massive attack today, presumably to catch Hong Kong off guard. The settlement day is the day after tomorrow.
In these short two days, can Hong Kong make up its mind and use all its strength to defend? After all, they still have to retain their strength to deal with the next series of battles. Are you so confident that Hong Kong's stock market will rise back?"
After a pause, she continued: "Besides, if the stock market really goes back up, those who transferred the futures contracts to you at very low prices will suffer heavy losses. Didn't you say before that you would defend Hong Kong's economy?
?”
Zhou Hao shook his head, the look in his eyes was a bit complicated, but more firm, he said: "What I want to defend is Hong Kong's macro economy, not these people's private economy.
Although fundamentally speaking, Hong Kong's economy is composed of individual economies. However, if the individual economies of these small groups of people are damaged, as long as Hong Kong's overall macro economy does not damage its foundation, they will eventually recover.
Yes, and if Hong Kong’s macro-economy collapses, it will be really destroyed from the root and it will be extremely difficult to recover.”
"Soros, Julian and those guys with ulterior motives behind them, what they covet is the wealth of the entire Hong Kong." Zhou Hao sighed: "The Hong Kong government can and is the only thing that can come up with to compete with Soros and the others is the nearly 100 billion US dollars.
The Exchange Fund and the Land Fund. You should know that these are the assets accumulated by all Hong Kong people through years of hard work. They are the last barrier to the Hong Kong economy.
This is the real Hong Kong economy that I want to defend. As long as the city can be preserved, Hong Kong will be able to retain the strength to make a comeback. Otherwise, Hong Kong's economy will completely collapse and there will be no possibility of recovery.
Many times, for the sake of the overall situation, we have to give up the interests of a small number of people, and the procrastination of women's benevolence will only cause the overall collapse of the overall situation!"
Looking at Zhou Hao's deep eyes, He Xueyun understood that Zhou Hao was actually not as cold-blooded as he said. If outsiders knew in the future that Zhou Hao had indirectly caused many people to lose their money, the pressure Zhou Hao would face would be unimaginable.
, and the most difficult thing is Zhou Hao's own sense of guilt. By then, there will definitely be many people who commit suicide because of investment failure, and Zhou Hao will indirectly become a murderer.
Although Zhou Hao has made trouble in the Korean stock market before, Zhou Hao has never had a good impression of South Korea, but now that those are his compatriots, their nature is completely different.
However, as Zhou Hao said, sometimes individual interests must be sacrificed for the interests of the whole. And He Xueyun also saw Zhou Hao's intention. The bubble phenomenon in Hong Kong's economy has become almost crazy.
People need a basin of cold water to restore their sanity, so that economic development can be restored to health, and Zhou Hao is going to play this "evil guy".
He Xueyun leaned down and hugged Zhou Hao from behind, and said softly: "I have said before, no matter what kind of person you are, no matter what you have done, I will always be by your side to support you, whether your name will last forever,
It doesn’t matter if I am infamy for eternity, I just want to be with you.”
Feeling the support He Xueyun gave him, Zhou Hao was very moved. He Xueyun was even more talented than Zhou Hao in financial economics, and he had a deep understanding of Zhou Hao's personality, so Zhou Hao and she really had a kind of understanding.
Feel.
It is enough to have a confidant in life, and if this is a confidante, it is really worth looking up to the sky and sighing, "I have no regrets in this life."
After silently contemplating it for a while, Zhou Hao smiled and said: "Didn't you tell me why I am confident that the Hong Kong stock market will rise back? Hahaha, in fact, I don't have absolute confidence, but I can create this situation myself."
Looking at He Xueyun who was slightly stunned, Zhou Hao smiled: "Let's go find Uncle Quan. They must be very worried now."
Finally, Zhou Hao and He Xueyun found Tsang Ying-quan, the then Financial Secretary of Hong Kong, in the conference room of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.
Not only Tsang Ying-quan, but also the Director of the Monetary Authority, Mr Yam Chi-hong, the Director of the Financial Services Bureau, Mr Hui Sai-yan, and the presidents of several major banks in Hong Kong were all gathered in this conference room.
These few people control Hong Kong's macro-economy and are the actual masters of Hong Kong's macro-economy.
