Chapter 132: Battle to Defend Hong Kong (2)
Lu Yiming's words immediately gave the entire team a boost.
Just as Lu Yiming said, Hong Kong is a small place, but the financial industry is extremely competitive and full of internal competition.
No matter how talented and capable they are, it is useless because the orders they were responsible for before were never worth more than 10 million.
Lu Yiming took out 2 billion yuan of funds. The Future Fund has been making a lot of money among the people of Hong Kong recently. Even Zhao Dali has become a millionaire. As the boss of the Future Fund, Lu Yiming naturally "earned" more.
In just one week, seven hundred million yuan was "plundered", which is simply shocking.
It can be seen that it is really fun to take advantage of Li Chaoren.
The only woman on the team asked, “Boss, how much autonomy can we have over these funds?”
Lu Yiming admired the hot beauty in front of him very much, of course not only because she was ambitious, but also because she was a highly educated and intelligent student. When she worked at Standard Chartered Bank, she was Zheng Zhiguang's ace trader and helped many investors make money from the stock market.
"May I have your name?"
"Jessica."
“I said my Chinese name.”
"Let me have fun."
Lu Yiming applauded and said, "What a great name! From today on, all employees in my company can only have Chinese names. I can't control other places, but here, you have to listen to me."
“…”
Ren Junle is a person with a lot of pride in her bones. She was born in Hong Kong and went abroad to study after she grew up. All she saw, heard and learned was capitalism. She actually had a vague concept of the so-called "motherland". Her impression of Xia Country - in the description of her teachers, it was a poor, backward, ignorant, cannibalistic society.
Jessica is a name that has followed her for many years. In many occasions - even at home, her name is Jessica, and she never allows anyone to mention her Chinese name.
But now, in front of Lu Yiming, all her pride seemed to be shattered in an instant.
Her persistence is worthless in front of Lu Yiming.
Just a few words made her understand who really had the final say here.
And she is just a worker whose name is decided by others.
Seeing Ren Junle gritting his teeth and looking unhappy, Lu Yiming felt very happy. He learned a lot about Ren Junle from Zheng Zhiguang, and for a time traveler like him who was a bit patriotic, he really couldn't stand it, so this happened.
"In routine operations, I trust your professionalism, but in critical transactions, my orders are absolute and all you can do is obey."
Ren Junle said unconvincedly: "What if your decision is wrong? Do we have to obey it too?"
She had met many such self-righteous investors before. They knew nothing but liked to give orders blindly. They were typical inexperienced and playful people who would blame others when they lost.
In addition, Lu Yiming had just made her unhappy, so she directly questioned him, hoping to turn the situation around.
Lu Yiming smiled calmly and said confidently: "Your assumption is not valid, because my decision is always right."
Ren Junle was speechless and secretly complained in his heart: What an arrogant person!
If she had been in the same temper as before, she would have just walked away with a displeased look after meeting such a boss.
But today, even though she was extremely dissatisfied in her heart, she still chose to stay.
After all, with her age and qualifications, she wouldn't even dare to dream of changing a boss and being able to lead a team to operate 2 billion yuan of funds.
Only the young boss in front of me is stupid and has a lot of money.
To put it simply: He gave too much...
Others also felt that Lu Yiming was too arrogant.
But who cares?
Anyway, it’s not their loss, and they can get the guaranteed salary immediately before starting work.
For the sake of money, Ren Junle finally chose to compromise and asked Lu Yiming with a humble look: "Boss, what exactly are we going to do?"
Lu Yiming stood up, his eyes swept across the faces of the people in front of him one by one, and said in a firm tone: "Fight Soros and defend the Hong Kong stock market to the death."
Fight against Soros and defend the Hong Kong stock market to the death?
After hearing Lu Yiming's bold words, everyone was stunned.
How many dishes did it take to make you drink like this?
If you had eaten one more peanut, you wouldn't have said such stupid things.
Ren Junle said jokingly, "Boss, as a professional, I have to remind you that we only have 2 billion in funds, not 20 billion. Even if we really have 20 billion, we can't beat Soros."
The financial war is indeed a contest of high IQs, but in essence it is a battle of who has more money!
Today, international hot money groups led by Quantum Fund have already formed a strategic encirclement of Hong Kong, and the financial reserves in their hands make it impossible for people to muster any fighting spirit to resist.
How easy is it to fight back?
But Lu Yiming is the boss and the money is his, so when he decides to do something, no one can stop him.
For several days, Lu Yiming stayed in the hotel and never left.
In the past, when shorting the ruble, most of the money involved was other people’s money, so winning or losing didn’t matter.
It’s different now. After all, he has bet 500 million yuan as capital. He is playing with his own money, so of course his attitude is completely different.
When it comes to trading, Lu Yiming is naturally no match for Jessica and other top students who majored in finance, so Jessica and others pay attention to the ups and downs of stocks and are responsible for monitoring the market.
Lu Yiming, on the other hand, was looking at the overall economic situation while collecting all the memories related to it in his mind.
Wei Liqun came in with a large cardboard box and put it on the table. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said breathlessly, "Mr. Lu, these are all the newspapers with financial information in Hong Kong in recent months."
Lu Yiming did not study finance, and was not familiar with the history of finance. He was only analyzing based on the vague memories in his mind. Apart from knowing the final result, the process was actually quite vague. So he had to supplement a lot of knowledge and information about finance and the stock market, and then combine the memory in his mind to make a decision.
Fortunately, Hong Kong is still at the forefront of international information. At least the news collected is richer in content than that in the mainland.
Looking at the boxes of newspapers and financial magazines on the ground, Lu Yiming nodded to Wei Liqun and said, "Old Wei, thank you for your hard work."
Wei Liqun quickly replied with a smile: "It should be."
Lu Yiming read the newspaper in his hand, combined with some of his memories, and suddenly the context of the entire era gradually became clear in his mind.
Since the beginning of summer, the economies of mainstream countries throughout Asia have shrunk sharply and the political situation has become even more turbulent. Only the domestic situation is temporarily safe and sound, blocking the financial sickle from the United States.
But the island countries "separated by a strip of water" are in a bad situation. The yen has been falling again and again, putting great pressure on both the Hong Kong dollar and the renminbi. The South China Sea crisis continues, Russia's financial turmoil, and even in Hong Kong, all signs are indicating that the unemployment rate and mid-term performance of listed companies to be announced will definitely be disappointing.
Analysts at Western investment banks lack confidence in whether the country can continue to maintain high economic growth just ten years after implementing the reform and opening-up policy. Their forecasts for the domestic economic growth rate have been lowered from 7%, 6%, 5% to 2%, or even zero.
Rational economic analysis has become unpopular, and rumors representing the interests of speculators are now prevalent in the market. Among these, the most popular rumor is the news that the domestic black market exchange rate has soared and a large depreciation of the RMB is imminent.
