Chapter 63 Skirmish (1)

   In the blink of an eye, three months have passed, and the time has come to October of 1989. As the turmoil in the Mainland subsides, Hong Kong's property market is gradually warming up.

Although there was an uproar in Hong Kong, everyone was happy in the end. At least on the bright side, not too many people were hurt, and no one was sentenced to death because of it. Leaving the country through various means.

However, due to such a mess, the country's economic policy inevitably tends to be conservative, and the market that has just been opened up has a tendency to further tighten. joint investigation. Fortunately, Liao Chengde stopped in time and made some changes in the main business direction of the factory, gradually shifting to the direction of toys. Furthermore, he is a well-known Hong Kong businessman in the central government. Even if the local government deliberately made things difficult, he did not dare to go too far.

  After the property market picked up, Liao Chengde gradually released the real estate in his hand through his agent after obtaining the consent of Zhong Shi. In order to ensure the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong, certain consortiums from the mainland are also quietly acquiring assets in Hong Kong, including some real estate. They found Liao Chengde quietly, and the price was nearly 20% higher than the market price.

  Liao Chengde naturally would not refuse such good things that could bring fame and fortune, so in a friendly and harmonious atmosphere, some real estate properties under Liao Chengde's name changed hands quietly.

After the dust settled, Liao Chengde calculated carefully, only to find that in just a few months, the income he got had doubled, not counting the real estate that had not been sold, but the ones that had already been sold were enough. He earned more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is only his part. The big-headed Zhongshi earned a full 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

  Because the transaction between the two parties was carried out in a state of secrecy, the outside media did not know at all, otherwise it would definitely cause an uproar.

  ……………

   Two flowers bloom, each representing a branch. Speaking of RB, after the United States, the United Kingdom, and RB’s local forces reached an agreement, the funds were continuously transferred to a dedicated account, and all parties rushed to the base camp of this battle—the port city of Kobe in the central part of RB. .

  The reason why Tokyo was not chosen is because Tokyo is located under the nose of the supervision, and the slightest disturbance may be wiped out. It is the easiest to accuse these foreigners of crimes. As long as one suspects them of espionage and then deports them all, all their previous preparations can be wiped out, and their funds can even be withheld.

   Kobe is different, here is the headquarters of the Yamaguchi group, the largest gang in RB. The influence of the Yamaguchi group here is surprisingly large, even far overshadowing the police. In fact, in the 1970s and 1980s of RB, there were several campaigns to encircle and suppress gangsters, and the spearhead was directed at the Yamaguchi group. His face lost his face.

But then the Yamaguchi-gumi broke out in a civil war because of the competition for the position of the leader, and split into two gangs. The two sides began a years-long assassination operation. Finally, under the coordination of the other two gangs, the split leader of the "One Peace Society" Guang announced the dissolution of the First Peace Conference and retired, and the civil war between the two sides came to an end.

Just in April of 1989, Watanabe Yoshitaka, the fifth generation member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, came to power. Ambitious, he vowed to regain his former glory. He adopted the policy of Wakatou (deputy leader) to avoid confrontation with the police. At the same time, it infiltrated into all parts of the country through different forms. Under his leadership, the forces of the Yamaguchi group actively infiltrated into the Kanto region (Tokyo, Yokohama, etc.), and conflicted with the local Sumiyoshi Association and Inagawa Association from time to time.

   Gangsters control gambling, pornography, drugs and other industries, and grab a lot of money, and these unknown money cannot be consumed through legal means. In fact, black money is a big problem that plagues the underground world all over the world. When the American police dealt with the notorious mafia, they could not find any evidence of their crimes, so they arrested them on charges of tax evasion. Even a well-known mafia godfather lamented: He can kill and set fire, but he forgot Pay taxes to the federal government on time. The godfather was sentenced to hundreds of years in prison for tax evasion and eventually died in prison.

  RB’s gang also understands the importance of this charge. They are actively looking for ways to launder money all over the world, especially ways to launder large amounts of money. Under such circumstances, certain American financial companies active in the RB market hit it off with the Yamaguchi-gumi, and the two parties reached a money laundering agreement in private.

Financial institutions all over the world are doing money laundering. The only difference is whether they are caught by the regulatory authorities. In later generations, HSBC and Standard Chartered were accused by European regulators of money laundering. In the end, the two parties paid billions of dollars Reconciliation.

  This time, the allies of the United States briefed the Yamaguchi-gumi about the situation, and these loyal gangsters naturally agreed without asking what the specifics were. After all, who dares to make trouble on the Yamaguchi-gumi territory!

  If they knew that these blond foreigners were conspiring to destroy RB's economy, they probably would never agree so easily.

  After gathering the top traders from Europe, America and Japan, Jim, as the convener of this operation, took the responsibility to become the leader. A group of dozens of them summed up the opinions of all parties, and after half a month of discussion, they finally formulated a set of operating strategies that they thought were perfect.

Beginning in October, a large amount of funds flowed into Singapore's futures exchange. Most of these tens of millions of dollars were invested in RB's stock index futures. In the billion-dollar trading market every day, it can only be regarded as a small wave, and it will soon disappear into the turbulent waves.

At the same time, a lot of funds flowing out of Kobe, a temporary team, also flowed to RB's local market. These funds were broken up into pieces, and they bought stocks of some large RB companies through dozens of accounts. One of the strategies is to hedge the risk from the Singapore stock index through the RB market.

Naturally, this kind of risk cannot be fully hedged. The RB market is so large that every time the stock index rises or falls by one index, it is billions of dollars of funds. reflected.

   "How is it?" On this day, Jim asked Maxim who was nervously operating on the screen. As Jim's most capable assistant, Maxim naturally joined the team.

   "Not so good, the Nikkei is still growing slowly, and the bull market has not yet come to an end!" Maxim wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head slightly.

   "It doesn't matter, continue to absorb short orders. The amount of funds in this operation is not as good as before, and we don't have to worry too much about the loss of tens of millions of dollars." Jim comforted.

The funds collected this time are about five billion U.S. dollars. The funds from the United States and the United Kingdom are both two billion U.S. dollars, and RB’s local funds are one billion U.S. dollars. It’s not that they don’t have money, but they mobilized more in a short time. Funding is bound to draw the attention of RB regulators. Money from Europe and the United States does not need to enter the country, and RB’s funds need to go through certain procedures to flow abroad. No one knows whether there will be regulatory agencies involved in this.

  For such a huge amount of funds, the loss of tens of millions of dollars is really nothing, but the funds wandering in the RB market have made a lot of money, at least it can be justified on the books.

   "Continue to increase the position, pay attention to the last bearish aspect." Jim ordered, and then turned to check other people's transactions.

These busy traders don't know that the funds they have gathered now are just an introduction. The funds are used to test the reaction of the market. Attract the attention of the market, and then gather more funds to attack multiple parties, thus causing an avalanche in the RB market.

  Traders as cannon fodder do not have this kind of awareness, and Jim is well aware of this, so he doesn't care about this loss.

By the end of October, these people had used 500 million U.S. dollars to establish a sizeable position in Singapore. The continuous establishment of short positions in this account finally attracted the attention of interested people in the market. The background and data are all blank.

Even so, market participants clearly smelled a conspiracy. In the capital market, there is no lack of speculation. Various rumors flooded in. Some people said that the money came from RB, while others asserted that the money came from the United States. The famous Stanley company, what's more, swore that the money came from mainland China.

  Behind this account, there are gradually some followers. Although the amount of funds in this account cannot be compared with that of this account, the advantage is that there are a lot of them, and a considerable force has gradually formed.

Originally, in Singapore’s Nikkei market, the bullish funds have always occupied an overwhelming advantage, while the short-selling funds are mostly short-term. In the face of the raging RB bull market, no one dares to hold for a long time .

If there are not enough short parties, there will be no enough opponents to open. After a period of time, many parties have also started short-term holdings, fighting against the short side on every trading day and every band. The situation of long-term holdings is in the Singapore exchanges have become rare.

  However, since this account appeared, people with a little sensitivity began to inquire about the past transaction records of this account, and found that this account rarely closed positions, and not only that, but also continuously opened short positions.

   This is obviously the performance of the anti-aging RB stock market.

  This discovery excited the market. The bulls were happy that they finally had an opponent, the shorts and big funds stopped to watch, and the clients with small funds hoped that the pool of water would be muddied as much as possible, so that they could make money in the cracks.
