Chapter 425 Bargaining

  The person who pushed the door and entered was none other than Ren Yigang, the president of the HKMA. He stood at the door of the meeting room with a slash, and glanced at the crowd in the meeting room with a livid face.

  Through the cracks of people, one can faintly see several figures swaying behind Ren Yigang. Even sharp-eyed people noticed that there were even bodyguards in black and sunglasses following him.

   This sudden scene was like a bolt from the blue, deeply engraved in everyone's minds.

   Who is Ren Yigang? Even those researchers and traders who do not work in the Hong Kong market are familiar with his name and appearance, let alone those who are immersed in the Hong Kong market. Seeing the well-known President Ren appearing in his company's meeting room at first glance, almost everyone was stunned. Those who are more thoughtful will immediately think that maybe there is a flaw in a certain fund, and the people from the Financial Management Bureau have come to investigate.

   Just in a panic, these people didn't realize at all that if they were investigating insider trading, it wouldn't be the HKMA who came here, but people from the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission or the Commercial Crime Investigation Bureau.

"I heard you're going to buy Hong Kong?" Ren Yigang just glanced at the others, then walked up to Zhong Shi in the middle with a sinking face, and asked in a deep voice, "You really are so brave that you even even bought a ticket from my office. Don't even answer the phone!"

  Ren Yigang's sudden appearance had already shocked many employees of Tianyu Fund, but after hearing his first words, these people's "fragile" hearts were hit hard again.

  There were too many stimuli today, and most of them became numb under repeated shocks.

Zhong Shi did not answer, but looked around, then waved his hands, stood up and walked outside, saying as he walked: "This is not a place to talk, let's find another quiet room President Ren, do you know that it is very rude of you to barge in without notice? Tsk tsk..."

Everyone watched Ren Yigang walk out with Zhong Shi, and then pricked up their ears, trying to hear what the two of them were going to say, but Zhong Shi's footsteps were fast, and he deliberately lowered his voice, so the voice was very fast. Just barely smell it.

Among them, a more courageous researcher also took the opportunity to stand up, wanting to follow behind the two to satisfy his voyeuristic psychology, but before he could walk out of the door, two giant tower-like figures came from the door, one from the left and the other from the right. Leaping in, a slap the size of a cattail fan swung forward, signaling to everyone not to leave.

  Looking at the expressionless bodyguards and their bulging waists, the researchers didn't dare to be careless. They could only suppress the curiosity in their hearts, obediently sat back in their seats, and waited quietly.

   Fortunately, they didn't have to wait for long. Five minutes later, Zhong Shi and Ren Yigang reappeared from the Tianyu Fund's office, and then they walked away surrounded by a group of people. After they and their entourage completely disappeared, a heated discussion erupted within Tianyu Fund.

  …

   "Is that you?"

Cen Yinquan looked at Zhong Shi in front of him with great interest, and after looking at it carefully for a long time, he said, "I really didn't expect a hero to be a teenager. Kid, are you planning to cooperate with the Hong Kong government to resist international speculators together?" ?”

"Yes!"

It was already late at night, and the unstoppable tiredness hit Zhong Shi's mind like waves, so even though he was suppressing the sleepiness, Zhong Shi still yawned unsightly, and tears flowed out , "Director Cen, you are too inhumane. You arrested people in the middle of the night and almost scared me to death. Let me first declare that I have never done anything illegal, nor have I participated in international speculators. Speculation on Hong Kong."

"I believe it!" Regarding Zhong Shi's gaffe, Cen Yinquan didn't think it was disobedient, and smiled casually, and then said in a friendly tone, "Little friend, there is something we can discuss, I don't know if we can ? I would like to lend you US$10 billion in the name of the Financial Secretary of Hong Kong for three months, what do you think?"

   After a pause, he was afraid that Zhong Shi would not agree, and he quickly added: "Of course, we will pay you interest according to the market rate, or even 10% to 50% higher, it depends on the situation."

   After receiving a cup of coffee, Zhong Shi raised his head, and after taking a sip, he regained a lot of energy. He wiped his mouth and showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "Director Cen, you don't really think that I'm easy to deceive because I'm young, do you? The three-month short-term loan, the mere tens of millions of dollars in interest, just want to get rid of it. I'm leaving? It's too ridiculous!"

  Cen Yinquan's scheme was seen through, and his expression was a little stunned. He raised his head and looked at Ren Yigang who was opposite him, and saw that the other person was shaking his head slightly towards him, so he felt a little clear in his heart. When I looked at Zhong Shi again, seeing the other person's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, the old man couldn't help but blushed, coughed lightly and said: "Okay, since you disagree with the first plan, Mr. Zhong, then let's talk about the first plan." Two options..."

"Director Cen, please stop first!" Zhong Shi waved his hand to stop him from continuing, "Director Cen, you should be clear that even without your consent, I can buy and sell Hong Kong stocks, right? So you What President He Ren needs to figure out is that the current situation is that you are asking for me, not that I will send it to your door and let you manipulate it at will!"

  The subtlety of this matter is that Zhongshi does not need the consent of the Monetary Authority or the Financial Secretary at all, and he can completely bypass the two to buy and sell Hong Kong stocks. The reason for notifying these two people, from the present point of view, seems to be entirely out of Zhong Shi's "public heart".

"Since this is the case, let's open the skylight and speak out!" Seeing that Zhong Shi was not fooled and showed his hole card first, Cen Yinquan also smiled, "It's easy to talk to smart people. Since If Zhong Sheng can buy and sell Hong Kong stocks without going through us, then there is no need for us to continue talking. But since I am sitting here at this moment, and you are here, Mr. Zhong, it means that we still have room for discussion yes, isn't it?"

"If I'm not wrong, Mr. Chung definitely wants to use this opportunity, or you can say to use the name of our Hong Kong government to make a fuss. I'm guessing right? Since everyone gets what they need, why bother to say so What about 'manipulating'?"

"In fact, even if we don't need your funds, we may still defeat the international speculators, but we just lost the so-called non-intervention in the market. Besides, it is still unknown whether the international speculators will attack Hong Kong again. Now that I think about it, we are sitting here discussing something that might not happen, and if we say it, it will be ridiculous!"

"What's more, you are also very afraid of a situation in the market, that is, you will be caught if you want to buy the bottom. No one can tell the market situation. Even if you think you have grasped the psychological bottom line of international speculators, maybe the next trading day The Hang Seng Index will show a lower number. It is every investor’s dream to enter at the lowest point, but without our cooperation, I’m afraid your dream will only be a fantasy!”

"sharp!"

Zhong Shi gave Cen Yinquan a thumbs up, "Director Cen is indeed powerful, and he reversed the situation in two or three sentences. But I can tell you clearly that international speculators will not only attack Hong Kong, but they have already started it now. There is no doubt about it. In addition, I also want to make Hong Kong more likely to win, so I will contact you, so please believe my purpose, everyone is for Hong Kong to have a better tomorrow."

"Of course, I don't deny that my funds are insignificant at all. Even without my funds entering the market, the Hong Kong government and everyone present may defeat the international speculators. But this is only if, in case the Hong Kong government loses to the international speculators. , then the funds you use may become their spoils of war, and then I don’t know how you will explain to the millions of citizens in Hong Kong?”

  His words directly hit Cen Yinquan's key point. Yes, although Cen Yinquan can use the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves and land funds, if he loses the war, he will be to blame even if he dies.

   Now, if there are Zhongshi funds to attract firepower in front, then the problem is different: as long as the signs are not right, the Hong Kong government can withdraw in time to preserve the funds of all Hong Kong citizens as much as possible.

  Of course, there are advantages and disadvantages. If the international speculators are defeated, then the proceeds may enter Zhongshi's pocket.

"I have prepared a total of about 110 billion Hong Kong dollars for this fight with international speculators. These funds will soon flow into every corner of the market. Although it is nothing compared to the value of the entire Hong Kong stock market, I roughly estimated For a moment, this money can buy 3%-4% of the total number of Hong Kong stocks. Of course, the allocation of some Hong Kong stocks may exceed this figure, and some penny stocks may not even buy a single lot.”

   "I'm not greedy either. I'll hold these stocks for five years at most, and then gradually sell them back to the market. What do you think of this proposal? Help you defeat international speculators, and you must charge some interest!"

   Having said that, Zhong Shi showed all his cards. He really wanted to take this opportunity to buy the bottom of the Hong Kong stock market on a large scale. Of course, it also resists the sell-off from international speculators from the front, and indirectly helps the Hong Kong government a big favor.

   "Five years?"

Cen Yinquan jumped up like a cat whose tail had been trampled on. His agility was not like that of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. "What are you kidding? One year, at most two years, this is our bottom line. If you let you hold it for a long time, sooner or later it will be a big deal. At that time, you have to polish all the Hong Kong stocks on hand, and you can’t cause violent fluctuations in the market!”

   "Three years, at least three years!" After pondering for a moment, Zhong Shi said decisively, "Others, I can guarantee that I will quit after three years."

  For a stock market, although there are many predators in it, it is undoubtedly disastrous and intolerable for a fund like Zhongshi who can control 3%-4% of the market value. Although there are no clear legal provisions stipulating restrictions, almost all investors know that if a similar situation occurs in a market, every move of these funds will have a huge impact on the entire market. It jeopardizes the fair principle of the exchange, and may even destroy the reputation of the entire market in severe cases.

   Both parties are well aware of this, so they focused on the holding time. In the end, Cen Yinquan thought about it and exchanged opinions with Ren Yigang, and finally agreed.

  Of course, in the past three years, with the development of the economy and the increase of listed companies, if there is no new capital injection, the proportion of holdings of these funds will gradually shrink, but it is still not to be underestimated. In order for the exchange not to be controlled by others, and for the prosperity of Hong Kong's capital market, Cen Yinquan will try his best to drive Zhong Shi away.

  This is not a dead dog cooking, but a reality.

After discussing some details, Zhong Shi suddenly changed his tone and said seriously: "Since we are now in the same trench, I will tell you a strategy. Whether this strategy is successful or not depends on the It will be directly related to our success or failure in defending Hong Kong's capital market!"
