"Mr. Yang, I didn't expect to meet you here, hahaha! Come on, let me introduce you. This is my brother, Lu Hantao, and this is my niece, Lu Yongyu."
At a cocktail party organized by Li Yang, Yang Tian did not expect to meet his uncle here.
Seeing Uncle Tong's high-spirited look, Yang Tian couldn't help but dampen his mood.
Especially the younger brother mentioned by his uncle, Yang Tian estimated that a large part of the land mortgaged to him should be from his younger brother.
"Uncle Tao, Yong Yu! My name is Yang Tian!"
Yang Tian smiled and said hello to the other party, but he didn't pay too much attention to the two of them. Instead, he looked at Uncle Tong and said with a smile:
"Uncle Tong, I heard that you made a lot of money this time."
Hong Kong stocks have continued to fall recently.
Correspondingly, Uncle Tong and the landlord took this big short position. Although they entered the market late and did not receive the dividends of the first wave of decline, they still made a small profit.
And if this momentum continues, if nothing unexpected happens, they will continue to make money until Hong Kong Island becomes the next Indonesia.
"What the hell! I have to thank you, Mr. Yang. If it weren't for your support, I just want to make money, but I wouldn't have the capital!"
Uncle Tong did not deny that he had made money at all, and his expression was full of pride when he spoke.
"Uncle Tong, are you kidding? There are many people borrowing money during this period, but how many of them can make as much money as you, Uncle Tong?
In the final analysis, this is for your own benefit, uncle Tong, and I am just trying to earn some handling fees. "
Yang Tian said it modestly, and even praised his uncle.
However, Uncle Tong didn't notice that the way Yang Tian looked at him was actually not much different from looking at a clown.
After all, others don't know what Li Yang is going to do at the banquet tonight, but Yang Tian knows it very well.
During this period of time, the economy of Hong Kong Island has been under continuous attack by international speculators led by Big Crocodile.
Whether it is the stock market or the futures market, they have fallen so hard that it makes people feel suffocated.
And as reflected in reality, the economy of the entire Hong Kong Island has become bleak.
Many speculators who wanted to buy the bottom did so on the mountainside.
If you are timid, you may just lose all your savings.
The bolder ones, who add leverage, will go bankrupt.
The most obvious one is the coffin shop in Dongguan Tsai. During this period, orders for various coffins and urns suddenly experienced a spurt of growth.
On the roofs of major high-rise buildings, almost every day people get massages and jump off, choosing to withdraw from their lives.
In addition to the private sector, the entire Hong Kong financial system is also filled with a kind of doomsday despair.
They know more than ordinary people, so they also understand better the consequences of this crisis and Hong Kong Island.
It is under this circumstance that Li Yang organized tonight's banquet, in fact, to boost the confidence of people in the financial community on Hong Kong Island.
The reason why Yang Tian was also invited was because he had a good relationship with Li Yang.
Secondly, he invested a large amount of money into the financial market without hesitation and started hedging against the big short sellers. This behavior was known to the people above.
As a member of the rescuers, Li Yang clearly told him that good news would be announced at tonight's banquet.
Although Li Yang didn't say it explicitly, Yang Tian generally guessed what the news was.
Sure enough, when almost all the guests arrived, Li Yang, as the organizer, immediately stepped onto the stage and attracted everyone's attention with a few words.
“First of all, thank you all for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend tonight’s banquet.
Well, let me make a long story short. Today’s banquet is mainly to tell everyone good news. "
Li Yang paused for a moment, and then Yang Tian noticed that Li Yang's face was much rosier than before.
Although his face has not recovered from his old age some time ago, his spirit has obviously improved a lot.
At this moment, seeing everyone casting curious glances at him, Li Yang said in a calm tone:
"Everyone knows that there has been a voice during this period that the currency in the north will definitely depreciate.
I believe everyone is paying close attention to this matter, and to be honest, I am also very worried.
After all, if the currency in the north also starts to depreciate, I believe everyone knows what it means if I don't say it. "
"Everyone knows this, Lao Li, you'd better tell me your good news quickly!
There is really no good news surrounding my ears during this period. I hope you won’t disappoint me tonight! "
Seeing that some people were already impatient, Li Yang waved his hand to signal the other party to be calm, and then continued:
"That's what I want to say today. I have received clear news that the northern currency will not depreciate. Do you think this news is good news?"
As soon as Li Yang said these words, the entire banquet hall fell silent.
Everyone is an industry insider and knows what this news means.
After a brief silence, they began to discuss with each other.
The person who spoke before had green eyes and stared at Li Yang and asked:
"Lao Li, are you telling the truth? Don't amuse us on purpose."
"Of course it's true. This news will be announced to the public in the north tomorrow morning at the latest. That's why I asked everyone to come over tonight in advance to celebrate together."
With Li Yang's words, the atmosphere in the banquet hall suddenly became heated.
Most of those present today are people in the financial industry.
However, they are different from their uncles and landlords. They all have their own companies and shares.
Therefore, few people will go short on the stock market. After all, it is too late to save their own company, so there is no reason for them to step on themselves.
So after hearing the news, everyone's enthusiasm immediately rose, and they began to wonder about the future development of the situation and whether it would move in the direction they hoped for.
Of course, unlike the excitement of others in the hall, Uncle Tong's face was somewhat ugly after hearing the news.
In this wave of landlords, they have basically given up their properties and mortgaged them all to Yang Tian, while they are focused on shorting the market.
This news can be said to be a blow to Uncle Tong.
Although it will not change the situation immediately, the role of this news in boosting the market in a short period of time cannot be ignored.
"Li Yang and others are still too naive. As the saying goes, water far away cannot quench thirst nearby. On the surface, this approach from the north can indeed increase the confidence of Hong Kong Island investors.
But looking at it from another perspective, if everyone is really confident, why bother to release this news? It's just a cover-up, trying to hide the truth. "
After the initial silence, Uncle Tong whispered with a sneer on his face.
But to Yang Tian's ears, it felt like Uncle Tong was looking for reasons to cheer him up.
So she deliberately followed her uncle's words and asked: "Uncle Tong, do you think this news is a smoke bomb?"
"It's not a smoke bomb, it's just a desperate struggle. The big crocodile is not that easy to deal with, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fight all the way to Hong Kong Island.
Therefore, the final result of this so-called good news is still unknown. It is too early to raise a toast to celebrate now. "
Uncle Tong's idea cannot be said to be completely wrong. After all, if Yang Tian hadn't cheated, he wouldn't have been able to see the current situation in Hong Kong clearly.
It can only be said that Uncle Tong represents the current thinking of most short sellers, and they have not yet understood the profound meaning behind this news.
Sure enough, the next morning, the North held a press conference and once again emphasized that it would resolutely maintain the exchange rate of the North's currency.
This is a shot in the arm for the Hong Kong Island government and investors, giving everyone confidence in the future.
Looking back at the big crocodile, even though they were unwilling to admit it, the impact of the news still dealt a serious blow to them.
However, they did not retreat because of this. Instead, they intensified their efforts and continued to attack the financial market of Hong Kong Island.
Fortunately, Hong Kong Island now has the confidence to face the attack of the big crocodile and has begun to carry out an organized counterattack.
For a time, Hong Kong Island's financial market entered a difficult stalemate stage.
But at this time, it seems that God is also on the side of Hong Kong Island.
Just when the two sides were in a stalemate, on August 17, global stock markets plummeted.
This was originally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for big short sellers like Big Crocodile.
Unfortunately, this day is the Victory Day of Hong Kong Island, and the stock market is closed for one day. This allows the Hong Kong Island stock market to perfectly avoid this natural disaster.
When the market opened on the 18th, after the sharp drop the day before, global stock markets began to rebound on this day.
At this time, the natural disaster was transferred to those international speculators and short sellers.
And this rebound lasted for three full days.
These three days can be said to be a nightmare for the big short sellers.
Hong Kong Island took advantage of various favorable opportunities to regain lost ground in the stock market and futures market.
In just three days, by August 20, the Hang Seng Index had exceeded 7,700 points, exceeding the average cost of opening a position by international speculators at 7,500 points.
By this time, the situation can be said to have been brought back to the original starting line.
Who wins and who loses suddenly becomes confusing again.
However, the rising momentum of the Hang Seng Index has at least given some people who previously thought the sky was falling to see hope again.
In fact, things have developed to this point, and the big crocodile has given up on shorting Hong Kong Island. It is actually the best choice for everyone to shake hands and make peace.
But when the landlord came to Yang Tian again, he knew that the matter was far from over.
After all, in a sense, the behavior of the Landowners Association actually represents the ideas of those big short sellers.
This time the landlord will find Yang Tian with only one purpose, to borrow money.
But things have reached this point, how could Yang Tian still lend them money.
Besides, the landlord would have things that Yang Tian could appreciate, which he had already obtained when he borrowed money last time. At this time, Yang Tian really didn't like the things that the landlord would take out.
But he didn't like it because he didn't want to do this business himself, but he could let others do it.
No matter how much you borrow now, the landlord will have no money to pay back later.
As long as the loan ratio is low enough, the borrower will still make some money in the end.
So he used the excuse that he didn't have enough cash and simply introduced Uncle Tong and his landlords' association to other capital associations.
Anyway, this kind of lending itself falls within the business scope of the society.
Of course, as a client introduced by Yang Tian, people from other associations were also wary at first.
However, when they learned that Yang Tian had actually lent a large sum of money to the Landowners Association, although they still felt that something was not right, they still agreed to contact the Landowners Association.
Yang Tian didn't care about this, since there were only a few days left before the final decisive battle anyway.
Now the situation has become established. No matter how much money the landlord borrows during this period, the outcome is already doomed.
Since Uncle Xiang only wants to defeat the landlord association in the financial market, Yang Tian naturally wants to find out and fill in the gaps for him.
He has personally experienced the truth that if a snake is not killed, there will be endless troubles.
If it is not convenient for Yang Tian to eradicate the problem, he might as well hand over the landlord association to other associations.
If they don't pay by then, those societies will naturally follow the rules of the world and treat them well.
Landowners will borrow money crazily everywhere in order to make a last ditch effort, and other international speculators are no exception.
As soon as the announcement from the north came out, they were caught off guard.
But this also made them completely crazy after having a smooth journey.
On the third day after the Hang Seng Index rebounded to 7,700 points, it was the minute when the market closed on August 21.
The big short sellers inside and outside Hong Kong suddenly exerted their strength. In just one minute, the Hang Seng Index was dropped by 200 points and returned to 7,500 points.
This move can be said to be extremely destructive. Through the last minute smash, most of the confidence that everyone had just raised was destroyed in one fell swoop.
At the same time, he also showed off his muscles to everyone, which immediately cast a shadow over the financial circle of Hong Kong Island, which had just recovered a little strength.
This wave of big short operations can be described as heartbreaking.
At least the coffin shop in Dongguanzi suddenly received a large number of orders just after the market closed that day.
Even Uncle Xiang was a little shaken by this incident.
Looking at Uncle Xiang, who had obviously become more haggard and older during this period, Yang Tian was still full of confidence, and even commented with some disdain:
"It seems that these foreigners have learned our art of war and know how to attack the enemy with strategy and attack the heart first.
It's a pity that they are not good at learning, and they are only half a bucket of water.
With such a fierce counterattack, there was no good day to choose, but it happened to be Friday.
Do you think no one really works during weekend rescue? A two-day window is enough for Hong Kong Island to make reflections and adjustments.
So Uncle Xiang, it doesn’t really matter today. Monday is when the real bayonet will see red, let’s just wait and see! "
