Rebirth capital madman - Chapter 1196

Many judgments, when you are in the middle of the game, don’t talk about looking at the flowers in the fog, at least not 100% sure.

For example, the stock market at this stage, even though it has been in a downward channel since the end of last year and the beginning of this year, and it has been more than half a year, no one can realize that this is the beginning of the “lost decade”.

Another example is that some financial and economic experts, including Gao Xian, believe that a new round of capitalist economic recession is getting closer through their own observations, and not most people will believe it.

This is also the case with Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait.

There is one thing to say, the risk of the Gulf War is still seen by analysts. For example, the international crude oil price rose to just over 20 dollars per barrel at the end of July.

You must know that in the 1980s, the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, which thought it controlled the power of oil pricing, was defeated by the international financial forces on the axis of Wall Street in New York – the City of London, and the international crude oil price was suppressed at ten percent. The level of a few dollars, even the Soviet Union has become a big sufferer of low oil prices.

It can be seen that the increase in international crude oil prices more or less reflects the capital’s vigilance against the tense situation in the Gulf region.

However, this reaction is still based on the risk control psychology of capital, and when the war of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait really came, it was quite unexpected. After all, when a person with all power sits in the supreme position, all judgments are made in one thought, and the normal balance has no effect.

Gao Xian was already prepared for this moment, and immediately called Ye Licheng, a confidant of Gao Yi’s family, to a meeting, and at the same time made a phone connection. He had specially arranged for Ma Yongda to go to London to keep an eye on him.

Regarding the change in the situation of Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait, Gao Yi has sufficient reasons and capital to participate, because the previous plan to help the Kuwait Investment Authority to deploy the acquisition of British Petroleum Company was eventually banned by the British government, but it was properly handled. The huge amount of BP shares of more than 30% cannot be achieved overnight, but sold in batches, which has continued to this day.

Mayongda couldn’t hide his excitement and said: “Now the stock price of BP has risen to more than 21 US dollars, and the Kuwait Investment Authority directly holds it, as well as the BP held by Gao Yi, Lehman Brothers, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs and others. There are more than 15% of the company’s stock left, and the Kuwaiti people would like to thank us for our financial advice.”

“Of course.” Gao Xian smiled slightly. After the global stock market crash on Black Monday in 1987, the stock price of BP was only hovering at thirteen or four dollars. This increase can meet the return demand of Gao Yi’s investment. At the same time, it will make up for the economic loss that the Kuwait Investment Authority originally acquired British Petroleum at any cost, but ended in failure.

The financial market is like this. Governments and exchanges that collect stamp duty and transaction fees will always make a steady profit without losing money, while investment banks can also make a steady profit without losing their minds as long as they are not dazzled by the eagerness for quick success.

“Neil Bush is in London. You and he have actively contacted those important members of the Kuwaiti royal family who have fled to the United Kingdom and the United States. If they want to return to their own palace, they must pawn their family property for military expenses. This is another case involving A huge financing business of tens of billions of dollars.”

Mayongda was a little hesitant, “Kuwait survived for about two days, and then fell. Can the exiled Kuwaiti royal family fight back?”

“Of course.” Gao Xian said leisurely: “It is hopeless to rely on the Kuwaiti royal family’s own force alone, and even Saudi Arabia, which is facing the same danger, will not work, but the United States will not sit idly by, and the Gulf has its important interests. ”

Ma Yongda was immediately convinced. After all, he was only partnering with Neil Bush. Sir Gao was able to directly communicate with US President Bush Sr. It can be said that the situation was under control.

“Well, I’m just like before. I need to be honest in doing business and negotiate deals with a long-term perspective.” Mayonda thought about it: “The royal family of Kuwait really has a lot of high-quality assets on the European side. Spain, where the Summer Olympics will be held next year, invested in a twin tower.”

“By the way, once Kuwait City is destroyed, the Asian Olympic Council headquartered there may be temporarily moved to London by the Kuwaitis. When you get in touch with important members of the Kuwaiti royal family, see if you can persuade them to temporarily transfer to Xiangjiang There must be good food and drink here.” Gao Xian pointed to the core of the problem and said: “We don’t intend to replace the Kuwaitis on the site of the Olympic Council of Asia, just to bid for Xiangjiang to host the 1998 Asian Games , add some chips.”

“In addition, Xiangjiang also has certain unique advantages in terms of global financing capabilities, international media influence, and living comfort. It may not be much worse than London, where Kuwaiti people are active.”

“This is a serious matter, I remember it.” Mayongda assured.

“By the way, there is one more point, which should be regarded as a basic principle.” Gao Xian said with emphasis: “The Kuwaiti royal family’s financing of this business must definitely involve the participation of other international financial institutions. As long as we are here, we can’t bring Huifeng Bank with us.” Play, this is a choice between two, there is no room for negotiation.”

Ma Yongda naturally knew why Gao Xian made this request, but he still asked, “If I need to explain a plausible reason, how should I answer?”

Gao Xian said leisurely: “Huifeng Bank is still a traditional commercial bank, and still a rookie in the field of investment banking. Otherwise, we, Gao Yi, would not catch up from behind and step on its head.”

Ma Yongda no longer had any doubts, and after the conference call, he was busy; the work content of Ye Licheng and others included cooperating with Ma Yongda and excluding Huifeng Bank in Xiangjiang.

The world is very big, but the circle is limited. Huifeng Bank quickly realized that it had no chance to get a share of some newly emerging businesses.

Huifeng Bank was a little anxious at the time. Once the counter-offensive war in the Gulf region started, the military expenditure would be at least tens of billions, and it was still in US dollars. A few mouthfuls of financing meat would be enough for a while, but it just couldn’t squeeze in. , compared to other peers who eat a lot of oil, it is a kind of strength that ebbs and flows.

For example, Huifeng Bank contacted the party in the UK that was willing to pay for the military—the royal family of Kuwait in exile, but they only recognized Gao Yi between Gao Yi and Huifeng. , Germany, etc. They are not in exile, so they must use their own investment banks first.

At this time, the ghost executives of Huifeng Bank didn’t understand who was squeezing them out, so they were so stupid.

The annoying thing is still behind, Gao Yi doesn’t deny it, he made a move and squeezed you out, how about it?
