"Thank you, Mr. Richard, for reminding me." Zhang Junping said sincerely.
As an artist in his previous life, Zhang Junping didn't know much about stock funds or anything else.
But there is one thing he still knows, and that is the incident about the devaluation of the Hong Kong dollar.
Because the return of Hong Kong was confirmed, many middle class people in Hong Kong and even some wealthy people were worried about the future of Hong Kong, so they began to sell Hong Kong dollars and exchange them for US dollars.
As a result, the Hong Kong dollar continued to fall, causing panic.
Officially, the lowest exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar was 9.6 yuan to 1 U.S. dollar. In fact, the lowest exchange rate was more than 12 yuan to 1 U.S. dollar.
Finally, under the attention of the chief architect, the Hong Kong Governor's Government, Bank of China, Standard Chartered Bank, and HSBC established a fixed exchange rate of 7.8 Hong Kong dollars for 1 U.S. dollar.
This solved the Hong Kong dollar depreciation storm.
When the Hong Kong dollar depreciates, some people suffer huge losses, while others make huge profits.
If it weren't for Richard's reminder, Zhang Junping would never have thought of it.
He simply wanted to exchange it into Hong Kong dollars to facilitate the next series of operations in Hong Kong.
Now that I remembered it, it was necessary to do something.
Once it is done, it is possible to double the five million pounds.
"Then don't exchange it for now, just hold the pound."
"OK!
Zhang Sheng, as our most distinguished customer of Standard Chartered Bank, you can enjoy the high-quality services provided by our bank..." Richard chattered a lot.
It is nothing more than wanting Zhang Junping to buy their financial products or entrust them with investment and financial management.
The money scene depicted is naturally beautiful.
"Mr. Richard, speaking of which, I really need our help from Standard Chartered Bank to handle something."
"It is our honor to serve you!" The British man bowed politely to Zhang Junping, with a more friendly smile on his face.
Who says the British are rigid and arrogant? It’s because they don’t have enough money.
As long as the money is available, the proud British are willing to kneel down and sing conquest.
"These four people, please ask Mr. Richard to help them apply for Xiangjiang household registration." Zhang Junping took out the household registration information that he had prepared and handed it to Richard. "Mr. Richard can just tell you how much it will cost."
The eldest sister and brother-in-law did not come to Xiangjiang. Zhang Junping only took their household registration information and ID cards that had been taken in advance to take photos.
That's the good thing about capitalism. Having money can solve most problems.
The remaining problems that cannot be solved are because there is not enough money.
"It's just household registration for four people. There is no fee. Give me two days and I will get the resident ID cards and passports for these four people." Richard said with a hint of arrogance.
In the 1980s, Hong Kong household registration was really simple and could be done with a little money.
Even in the 1970s, the Hong Kong Governor's Office issued an interesting regulation.
Anyone who escapes from Hong Kong will automatically obtain a Hong Kong household registration the moment they enter the city, as long as they are not caught by the police before entering the city.
However, if you are caught by the police before entering the city, then sorry, you will have to be deported.
In the past, many domestic, Burmese, and Vietnamese people obtained Xiangjiang status in this way.
"Then let me thank Mr. Richard first.
I need a lawyer now, and I hope to sign an entrusted investment and financial management agreement with your bank under the witness of the lawyer."
Zhang Junping is not like the Chinese people he has interacted with before, and unlike those nouveau riche, he speaks and acts too calmly.
This made Richard dare not look down upon Zhang Junping just because he was from mainland China.
"No problem, I will contact the most famous law firm in Xiangjiang." Richard nodded happily.
Soon, a middle-aged barrister who was only slightly handsomer than him rushed to the VIP room of Standard Chartered Bank.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I am Lin Yanxiang, a barrister at Li Xielin Law Firm. I don't know how I can help Mr. Zhang."
"I want to sign a contract for entrusted investment and financial management with Standard Chartered Bank.
The investment direction is provided by me, but Standard Chartered Bank is not allowed to disclose information related to my investment.
Moreover, Standard Chartered Bank is not allowed to use my information to make investment profits." Zhang Junping said to the lawyer simply and neatly.
After listening to Zhang Junping's request, Lin Yanxiang did not show any strange expression because of Zhang Junping's request. He just smiled gently and said to Zhang Junping: "Mr. Zhang's request is very simple. He does not need to sign an agreement with Standard Chartered Bank. He only needs to sign an agreement with you."
Just ask the financial specialist to sign a confidentiality agreement.”
Although Zhang Junping knew that in October, the Hong Kong government would take the initiative and implement a fixed exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar.
But how to use this news to gain benefits is not his expertise.
However, he did not dare to tell Richard or other financial advisors easily.
This was information that could lead to tremendous wealth, and he did not dare to use this to test people's hearts.
That's why there is the matter of barristers.
In fact, even having a lawyer is not safe.
Marx once wrote in "Das Kapital": As soon as there is an appropriate profit, capital becomes bold. If there is 10% profit, it is guaranteed to be used everywhere; if there is 20% profit, it becomes active; there are
With 50% profit, it will take desperate risks; with 100% profit, it will dare to trample all human laws; with 300% profit, it will dare to commit any crime and even risk hanging.
In October, the Chinese government and the Hong Kong government will jointly set a fixed exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar.
This piece of news brings more than 300% profit. If it can be used well, it will be ten times or a hundred times the profit.
The barrister's service is very considerate, but the fee is also considerable.
One hour's charge can exceed the monthly income of many low-income citizens in Hong Kong.
"Mr. Zhang, I swear on the reputation of my Richard family that I will never tell anyone about Mr. Zhang's information." Richard placed his discerning right hand on his chest and promised very solemnly.
"Of course, Mr. Zhang wants to sign a confidentiality agreement. I have no problem at all."
Only a fool would have opinions. From the fact that Zhang Junping so solemnly hired a lawyer and signed a confidentiality agreement, we knew that Zhang Junping had a big investment plan.
Zhang Junping's big plan means that he will increase his income a lot.
Witnessed by barrister Lin Yanxiang, Zhang Junping and Richard signed a very strict confidentiality agreement.
Once violated, even Li Ka-shing will be fined and bankrupt.
After sending Lin Yanxiang away, Zhang Junping sat in the VIP room and told Richard his plan.
"Mr. Richard, if I can be sure that the Hong Kong dollar will continue to depreciate in the next few months.
So, how should I make a profit?" After signing the confidentiality agreement, Zhang Junping stopped worrying and asked directly.
"Mr. Zhang, this is actually very simple.
Just enter the foreign exchange financial market and use leverage to short the Hong Kong dollar." Richard said directly without thinking.
