Video Game Empire - Chapter 640
Li Xuan first met Liu Ruanxiong during the acquisition of Landmark. At that time, Liu Ruanxiong judged that someone was secretly accumulating a large amount of Land Land’s stocks based on a few clues in the market fluctuations, so he followed up decisively and made a fortune!
At that time, Liu Ruanxiong was just a fledgling rookie in the Hong Kong capital market, but now he has grown into a “stock sniper” that countless major shareholders of the listed stock market hate.
Liu Ruanxiong, a half-way monk, has been able to stir up troubles in the Hong Kong stock market in recent years. On the one hand, it is because of his own talent, and he plays the European and American leveraged buyout very smoothly. On the other hand, it is also because there is Li Xuan behind him. support.
Although Liu Ruanxiong is also a billionaire, his personal assets are far from Li Jiacheng, Bao Yugang and others, let alone Li Xuan.
The reason why he can easily spend billions to launch acquisitions of other listed companies is that on the one hand, he relies on several listed companies already in his hands to raise funds by issuing new shares; on the other hand, it is from banks and other financial institutions Institutions borrow money.
And Li Xuan’s two banks, Jiahua Bank and Standard Chartered Hong Kong, have close financial transactions with Liu Ruanxiong! Liu Ruanxiong’s several major actions in the past two years are inseparable from the massive financial support of Li Xuan’s bank.
Of course, it is not without reason that Li Xuan is willing to provide capital for Liu Ruanxiong! Hong Kong has been in a state of turmoil politically throughout the 1980s. As a result, Hong Kong’s economy has experienced several ups and downs in the past decade.
But even in such a roller coaster-like storm, the overall trend of Hong Kong’s economy has maintained strong growth! The real evil brought about by the strange political-political climate in Hong Kong is that a large amount of capital has turned from the pursuit of long-term stable income to short-term speculation when the future trend cannot be determined.
The most typical example of this is speculation on the Hong Kong property market and stock market. As a result, the entire Hong Kong society began to fall into impetuousness. Everyone wanted to hurry up and make a fortune to immigrate overseas. There is no longer the Lion Rock spirit of hard work in the 1960s and 1970s!
The speculation and speculation of capital may blow a lot of bubbles in the short term. However, once these bubbles burst, it is bound to seriously hinder the long-term healthy growth of Hong Kong’s economy! It should be the incumbent responsibility of the ruling authorities to curb speculation, but the British who are about to slap their **** and leave will obviously not take Hong Kong’s future in their hearts!
However, the Oriental Group will have to base itself in Hong Kong, so Li Xuan has to undertake this job! Naturally, he cannot use administrative means to intervene himself, so he can only use the rules of capital to teach speculators an unforgettable lesson.
And the Hong Kong stock market has been ups and downs several times in the past few years, which is also giving Li Xuan an excellent opportunity to make a move! According to a survey published by the Hong Kong Economic Journal not long ago, in the past five years, among Hong Kong investors who chose to trade stocks in person, more than 60% of the retail investors suffered losses, and only less than 15% of the investors really rely on their own Eyes make money!
After the survey was announced, calls for de-retailing the Hong Kong stock market suddenly rose. A single-handed investor, whether in terms of capital, technology, or information sources, cannot compete with the dealers, how can they be invincible?
And Li Xuan seems to have become the biggest bookmaker in the Hong Kong stock market! This is not only reflected in the companies listed in Hong Kong such as Jiahua Bank, Standard Chartered Hong Kong, Hong Kong Telephone, and Asia Entertainment Media, making Orient Group the group with the largest market capitalization in Hong Kong.
What’s more, Li Xuan controls Hong Kong’s largest-selling financial newspaper – “Hong Kong Economic Journal”; Hong Kong’s largest bank alliance – a consortium formed by the core of Standard Chartered Hong Kong and Jiahua, together with many other banks; the largest bank in Hong Kong. Securities company – Asia Sun Hung Kai Securities; Hong Kong’s largest private investment fund – lh fund.
When these companies come together, it can almost cover the sky of the entire Hong Kong capital market! If Li Xuan wants a stock to fall, the reporter will immediately expose some of the bad deeds of the major shareholders or management of the listed company; then the bank will start taking out loans, and the fund will sell the company and stocks and bonds in large quantities!
Even if this is an extremely stable company, after being attacked by such a combination of punches, it is absolutely unavoidable that the stock price will plummet!
It’s just that what Li Xuan has always shown to the public is an image of charity. He would not use such naked and **** means to harvest, after all, those jobs that would get his hands dirty, he could find some agents to help him do it!
And Liu Ruanxiong is one of them. He doesn’t care about those investors who have been miserable by him, and the major shareholders of listed companies who have been cut off by him, and he curses himself in circles behind his back!
Therefore, the cooperation between Liu Ruanxiong and Li Xuan, the former can make a lot of money. The latter is to make the entire Hong Kong capital market follow its own baton to operate!
Is the call for the de-retailing of Hong Kong stocks really the will of the investors themselves? not necessarily! The biggest characteristic of retail investors is that their funds are scattered and they are prone to blind impulses. This is also the main reason why the Hong Kong stock market has a strong speculative atmosphere and skyrockets at every turn!
In contrast, if investors hand over their money to investment managers in professional institutions, although these professionals are also chasing profits, most of the time they can still maintain professional judgment rationally!
For Li Xuan, it is far easier to influence some professionals than to influence a large number of investors! Because Li Xuan’s financial layout has enveloped the entire Hong Kong capital market, these people in the industry will always have to deal with Li Xuan!
Therefore, it is Li Xuan who really wants to de-retail the stock market. He hopes that the investment decision-making power scattered among ordinary shareholders can be concentrated in the hands of a few investment managers! Then, by influencing the choices of these investment managers, we can grasp the general trend of the entire Hong Kong stock market!
Of course, in addition to the huge number of merchants, those huge blue-chip stocks are also the objects that Li Xuan cannot shake! Taking the aforementioned CLP as an example, it is difficult to leverage CLP’s share price with only a small amount of capital. Unless there is a major event such as mergers and acquisitions, it is possible for CLP’s share price to skyrocket. However, in order to truly threaten the controlling position of the major shareholder, the Kadoorie family, the funds that need to be mobilized are not a single amount, at least tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars to start!
So the method Li Xuan chose was to let it be in his own hands! In order to attract the attention of the Kadoorie family~www.mtlnovel.com~ Liu Ruanxiong’s next move to acquire the Grand Hotel Group is bound to make a scene!
With Liu Ruanxiong actually controlling shares (0), far exceeding the Kadoorie family (10), a sudden attack with a final word is actually the best choice! After all, no one knows what unforeseen changes will occur as time drags on!
But in order to create an opportunity for Li Jiacheng to raid another core industry of the Kadoorie family – CLP, Li Xuan is willing to make Liu Ruanxiong pay some extra costs and risks! And if Li Ka-shing is really ready to attack CLP, then he will have to accept the great favor that Li Xuan gave him today!
From a political point of view, the Kadoorie family is definitely an enlightened faction among British capital. They have always chosen to actively integrate into Hong Kong and truly regard Hong Kong as their second hometown. It’s a pity that Li Xuan is a businessman, not a politician! Therefore, he still chose to attack the Kadoorie family mercilessly, and sacrificed the interests of the Kadoorie family to win over and unite Chinese tycoons like Li Jiacheng!
Marx said in “Das Kapital” that capitalists dare to take risks when they have a profit of 50%, and dare to trample all laws when they have a profit of 100%! For Li Jiacheng, if CLP can be included in the bag, he can completely monopolize the electricity market in Hong Kong! This is a chicken that can really lay golden eggs, and it is worth taking the risk!
And when Chinese consortiums like Li Jiacheng are willing to make a consistent voice with Li Xuan, no matter how hard the British struggle, they can’t avoid the fate of being put on hold! After all, 99% of the people in Hong Kong are Chinese. With only those less than 1 British, it is impossible to do anything!
