Rebirth: My 80s

Chapter 820 The war begins
After Henry Robinson got the check of HK$180 million, he looked at Lin Xinjia and Ding Lun who were sitting on the main seat of the European-style sofa. The expression on his face that was not fleshy immediately changed, like a face change in Sichuan opera. .

"You are so stingy and treacherous. The actual value of Baotong Company can reach 300 million Hong Kong dollars!"

Lin Xinjia can now understand English, but cannot speak it. Ding Lun threw the contract in his hand on the European-style coffee table with exaggerated carvings: "We allow you to regret it."

However, Henry put the check in his wallet and had no intention of taking it out. He said angrily: "Don't act like a master in front of me. You two are just minions, minions! Even your damn boss Li has to thank me." Give Baotong alms to him.

"When he loses all his pants, at least he still has a factory."

Ding Lun sneered: "You alone are qualified to comment on our boss's investment behavior?"

Henry snorted coldly: "I'm too lazy to argue with you two guys who don't know anything. I'm just stating a fact: you, Boss Li, are finished. Your salary should not be low, haha, he will most likely be next I can’t afford it anymore, so I would like to advise you guys to find a new home as soon as possible.”

"Mr. Henry, you have white, seemingly clean skin, but underneath it is extremely dirty!" Ding Lun said.

Henry was satisfied with his annoyance and smiled broadly: "Go back and tell you Boss Li that I had a share of credit for his bankruptcy."

"@#%￥!" As gentle as Ding Lun, he couldn't help but greet all the women in his family.

Henry was received with a high profile and became a star figure for a while.

The financial media in Hong Kong City are full of information in this regard.

He is already the richest man in Hong Kong City, maybe one of them, can he afford to gamble all his wealth?

Both parties have the idea of ​​​​stirring market confidence, but their goals are completely opposite.

Li Jiankun, who was the most active and craziest in this incident, was suddenly pushed to the forefront.

"He's measured."

From a giant crocodile of tens of billions to a mere mortal.

"Let us welcome the heroes."

"Tell him to move all his garbage within three days, otherwise he will have to go to the scrap station to find it." Lin Xinjia stood up and said expressionlessly.

To a normal person, he would be just like Huang Yinzhu suspected - possessed by an evil spirit.

"Oh Henry, my friend, come sit here."

Today, the situation is naturally different.

Many people who are not on the same page as Li Jiankun have their hearts raised in their throats because of his actions. If he loses this game, it will be the largest single loss in the business history of Hong Kong City, and it will also be the biggest ups and downs in life——

Although he said this, in fact, Lin Xinjia felt equally uneasy.

One careless move and you lose everything!
Now, they are far from the only ones discussing this topic. The big gathering of Chinese capital that night was not hidden, even the various gatherings of British capital were carried out openly.

He himself still has some experience, and he has collected 200 million Hong Kong dollars, which is not too much, not too little. The key point is that his spirit of selling iron to join the war was highly praised by the British bosses, who intended to set him as an example.

"No wonder the boss said that Henry sold Baotong Company at this time and did not want to do anything good. He also wanted to participate in the British group's plan to short-sell Hong Kong stocks." Lin Xinjia spat out a breath of white mist.

“Boss, he——” Ding Lun hesitated and said, “Is this game too big and too dangerous?”

Putting aside who will win in the end, British capital or Chinese capital, one of the participants actually mortgaged almost all of his property and personally raised 40 billion to participate in the war, which is really shocking.

Henry Robinson sold the Baotong Company. After receiving the check, he immediately rushed to a British-funded club. This time he seriously participated in the war with capital. Although he had intended to join before, he had little money after all. The British bosses almost No one took him seriously.

After the two walked out of Baotong Building, they did not immediately get into the black business car parked at the door. Lin Xinjia took out a pack of Huazi, handed one to Ding Lun, and lit one himself.

After settling the business, Henry was in a happy mood and came to the club bar to have a drink. As soon as he walked in, everyone's eyes fell on him and applause rang in his ears.

This made Henry very useful. He subconsciously straightened his chest and his eyes were filled with light, as if he could see the past glory of the Robinson family.

He was invited to sit next to the largest seating area.

The people sitting around him were far wealthier than him.

"Henry, I heard that your Baotong company was sold to Li Jiankun?"

"There is no way. Firstly, at this stage, everyone is waiting for news and there are very few buyers. Secondly, my stupid brother led him into the house two years ago. He has already taken away the IC design center. Everyone who knows the inside story knows that He is thinking about Baotong, and he must admit that with his current energy, not many people are willing to go against him."

Henry paused, raised the corner of his mouth, and continued: "However, this is all temporary. When the dust settles, we will see what else he can do. I suspect that he will not be able to bear the blow and become mentally disturbed."

"Haha!" All the British guys laughed in unison.

"Even if you don't jump off the building, it's 40 billion!"

"This person is most likely crazy about money and would dare to get involved in anything."

"Haven't you seen the reason yet? He has a criminal record. This man hates us British people very much, just like Henry hates Chinese people. He has the most enthusiasm for things that can attack us."

"Mengsk, I get angry when you mention this. Among the British-owned companies he once shorted, I own some of my properties. The chain reaction caused by his short selling cost me at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars."

"Oh Franz, my friend, there is no need to be angry anymore. Isn't it possible to take revenge this time?"

"But let me tell you, this man does have courage."

"Courage? I think he hates Yingzi so much that he is crazy about it."

"I really like his unruly look now." "After all, he is young and has never been beaten by society."

"I propose, friends, raise a glass and let us harvest his 40 billion wealth together."

"Hahahaha!"

The wine glasses clinked together, and the laughter shook the sky.

Li Jiankun found that while walking in the Huaqiang Swire Building these days, although the employees were still respectful to him, many of them had complicated emotions in their eyes.

There is that kind of incomprehensible, concerned, distressed, complaining, caring for the mentally retarded...

The more people think they know something about stocks and finance, the less optimistic they are.

Yesterday, Liu Jingyan called him from Las Vegas to persuade him, saying that if he insisted on doing this, he should at least keep the Las Vegas industry and not take risks. Don’t be afraid of running out of firewood.”

Now, a group of big guys from Haojiang have arrived in a group.

The European-style sofa in his office was filled to the brim.

"Brother, you are so reckless." He Shen sighed, thinking that he only now understands this brother's character.

The last time he beat up Chen Qingsong in Haojiang, he also said that he was not reckless. After hearing his explanation later, He Shen almost believed it...

Believe me, that's just Xiao Mang, the big Mang is still behind.

Let’s just say, who in their right mind would mortgage all their property to speculate in futures?
Oh yes, he also said he quit gambling.

He Shen, known as the King of Gambling, has lived for a long time. He has seen people gambling on their lives, but he has never seen such a lawless gambler.

How many lives can 40 billion buy on the road?

Unlike He Shen, the other Hao Jiang bosses spoke much more straightforwardly.

"Mr. Li, we can't control what you want to do, but now you have mortgaged the investment in the Golden Palace Hotel. We still need to talk about some things clearly and implement them in the documents."

"You have to understand that a big reason why we are willing to invest in the Golden Palace Hotel is because of you."

"Yes, you are known as the God of Gamblers in Las Vegas, and you are powerful in both black and white, so when your investment was initially valued, there was a substantial premium."

"My words may not sound nice, but I still have to say that in this case, if you lose, the bank will take away your investment in the Golden Palace Hotel, whether they keep it themselves or sell it to someone else, we have worked with you before The signed agreement cannot be counted.”

Li Jiankun laughed. He hadn't started longing on Hong Kong stocks yet, and his wealth hadn't shrunk by a penny, but he had already experienced the feeling of a tree falling and the animals scattered.

It's painfully realistic.
-
On December 19, 1984, a protracted negotiation came to an end in the mainland capital.

The draft of the Sino-British Joint Declaration was signed.

The news spread from the mainland capital and spread rapidly around the world. Those who received the news earlier than the major media in Hong Kong City were the upper-level political and business circles.

Now, there is less than a quarter of an hour left before the Hong Kong stock market closes in the afternoon.

If investors who are still staying in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange pay close attention, they will find that countless capital tycoons, including almost the most powerful securities companies in Hong Kong, have gathered in the area that is inaccessible to retail investors.

Like Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Far East Securities, Huaqiang Swire...

And these capital tycoons are clearly divided into two groups, gathered in two different areas, and the two groups of forces are each centered around a large customer operation room.

In this era when common stock trading activities were still written by hand on a blackboard, advanced computer equipment was placed in rows in the two operating rooms. Behind each professional computer was a professional trader, who is very rare nowadays.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah—"

The sound of fingers tapping on the keyboard is endless.

These traders are only doing one thing at the moment - building positions.

Crazy position building.

The funds available to them were beyond their imagination, and money became a number that seemed to have no meaning.

What impact these stock positions built with astronomical figures will have on the stock market, and what their outcome will be, will be revealed when the stock market opens tomorrow.

In a large client room, as the initiator and largest participant of Chinese-owned "long Hong Kong stocks", Li Jiankun was surrounded by Dong Haoyun, Zheng Yutong and others.

Effie stepped forward, obviously having something to say, and Li Jiankun turned sideways and handed it to her ear.

"The British-controlled media is taking action."

Li Jiankun nodded, and after explaining something to her in a low voice, he looked at Dong Haoyun, Li Jiacheng and Shao Yifu and made a gesture of invitation.

Effie stayed to supervise the execution of the warehouse building plan for him, while Li Jiankun, Dong Haoyun, Li Jiacheng, and Shao Yifu left first.

The battlefield of this invisible war is by no means limited to the stock market.

Whether it is a British-funded group or a Chinese-funded group, it seems that they have invested tens of billions of massive funds. In fact, these funds are nothing compared to the trillions of market capitalization of the Hong Kong stock market.

Whether it is short selling by British capital or long selling by Chinese capital, if it can have a significant impact on the market, it must be indirect - the first thing that affects the confidence of investors is the confidence of investors.

A huge investor base is the foundation of the stock market and one of the key factors that can shake the market.
