Chapter 213 Pre-Cze
Jiang Miao took a look at Quantum Fund's actions and estimated that it would launch its general attack on the first trading day after the Spring Festival.
So he immediately sent an email to the New Century Fund headquarters through a disguised identity.
At this time, in the New Century Investment Fund office in Central, Hong Kong, CEO Zhong Liwen was also looking at the trading data of Hong Kong stocks.
Suddenly, a prompt message popped up in his exclusive mailbox. When he saw the sender name of the email, he immediately sat upright and clicked on the email.
At the same time, he took out a copy of Dream of Red Mansions, compared it with the numbers on the email, and wrote the interpreted content in a small notebook.
As he wrote, Zhong Liwen's hands began to tremble slightly.
‘This boss’s intelligence power is so strong! ’
Even though he had seen the mysterious boss's intelligence ability before, Zhong Liwen was still shocked, and at the same time, he became less and less afraid to have the idea of resistance.
After all, he has been in the financial circle for more than 20 years and knows many unknown things.
Based on the mysterious boss's intelligence methods, Zhong Liwen guessed that this mysterious boss must be a large organization. It would be easy for such a large organization to kill him.
Zhong Liwen interpreted the content and then deleted the email. At the same time, he browsed the contents of the small notebook again.
There is a lot of content on it. There are 47 pieces of information in total, all of which are related to the Quantum Fund. Finally, there are instructions from the mysterious boss.
"Haha... I see, are you going to close the door and beat the dog?" After reading this information, Zhong Liwen knew what his boss was thinking.
In addition to secretly preparing to short-sell and blow up the bank, Quantum Fund also accumulated funds from the stocks of 17 other small and medium-sized financial institutions. After blowing up the bank, Quantum Fund prepared to use false news and short-selling to trigger a large-scale explosion in Hong Kong. Financial run.
At this time, Hong Kong's financial reserves have dropped from HK$1.1 trillion in 2022 to HK$449.3 billion, which has been reduced by hundreds of billions almost every year in the past few years.
There is another reason why Quantum Fund chose to start after the Spring Festival, and that is that before the Spring Festival, Xiangjiang will issue a lot of benefits, which will further reduce its financial reserves.
Perhaps many people are not aware of the welfare situation in Xiangjiang.
Just take the Old Age Allowance and Old Age Living Allowance as examples.
The Old Age Allowance is commonly known as "Fruit Money". Elderly people aged 70 or above can receive HK$1,135 per month without going through asset and income tests.
Elderly Living Allowance: Elderly people aged 65 or above can receive a monthly living allowance of HK$3,915 if they meet the income and asset requirements. Applicants aged 70 and above can also receive an additional Old Age Allowance of HK$1,385/month.
At this time, Xiangjiang's population is aging seriously, with people over 65 accounting for 21%. Its total population is 7.5 million, which means there are 1.575 million elderly people.
Although not all elderly people can receive this subsidy, according to official data disclosed by Hong Kong, the expenditure on this subsidy in 26 years has reached 41.9 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Coupled with other miscellaneous expenditures, and coinciding with a significant reduction in Xiangjiang's land finance, there was a situation of being unable to make ends meet.
Since the Spring Festival is the peak period for the payment of various subsidies, Quantum Fund saw this good opportunity and prepared to launch a general attack on Xiangjiang's financial system starting from the first trading day after the Spring Festival.
Zhong Liwen was not concerned about the Quantum Fund's offensive. He carefully studied the 47 pieces of information, including 26 pieces of information about the 17 small and medium-sized financial institutions.
He knew very well that at this time, Quantum Fund and many of its international speculative capital partners had secretly acquired a large number of shares in these financial institutions, ranging from 15% to about 27%.
Once these stocks are sold intensively, it will inevitably trigger a stampede. In addition, the reason why these financial institutions are targeted is that there is a lot of black material that is being manipulated by Western capital. When the time comes, as long as this black material is revealed, it will further amplify the financial situation. Crowding effect.
Zhong Liwen's strategy was very simple. Just after the Quantum Fund launched the general attack, and the day before the other party was about to detonate those financial institutions, he quickly reported to the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission that these financial institutions had major illegal operations, and the Quantum Fund tried to control these financial institutions to explode. Xiangjiang Financial System, thus triggering an emergency suspension.
As long as the stocks of these financial institutions are suspended from trading, the stocks purchased by Quantum Fund and international speculative capital will be frozen for trading, and then they will face the embarrassing situation of being unable to detonate.
With so much information, if the Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission still cannot defeat Quantum Fund, then Zhong Liwen can only send the other party one sentence: Go home and plant sweet potatoes!
As for that key mid-sized bank, New Century Fund can quickly eat up these low-priced stocks.
According to Zhong Liwen's estimation, if everything goes well, their various offshore accounts can at least follow Quantum Fund and acquire 20∽30% of the stocks. In addition, they already hold 13.9%, and the shareholding scale will soon reach a controlling stake. Require.
At that time, Zhong Liwen will use other black materials in his hands to force the remaining major shareholders of the bank to sell their stocks to himself, thereby increasing the total shareholding ratio to 90%, thereby triggering the forced delisting ratio.
Although stock trading to become a major shareholder does not conform to the concept of financial speculation, Zhong Liwen cannot disobey his boss's instructions.
After clarifying his thoughts, he quickly summoned the company's management to arrange various tasks.
Soon, in the Hong Kong financial market where undercurrents were surging, silent tentacles had penetrated into Quantum Fund through various channels.
Moreover, Zhong Liwen was not limited to the Xiangjiang financial market. He also used other intelligence to make a comprehensive layout for the stocks and futures invested by Quantum Fund and its partners.
After the Hong Kong stocks speculated by Quantum Fund are frozen, New Century Fund will directly launch a full-scale offensive and use its intelligence advantages to severely damage Quantum Fund's investments in other financial markets, leaving them unable to obtain funding supplies from other financial markets. Instead, they will have to repay part of it. funds.
The New Century Fund can earn hundreds of millions of dollars from it.
The reason why it is hundreds of millions of dollars is mainly to be inconspicuous. After all, if you make too much money at one time, the goal will become very large, and it will be easy for local financial regulatory agencies to find problems.
The purpose of the New Century Fund is very simple, which is to use its intelligence advantages to guide other Western financial institutions to attack Quantum Fund and its partners, letting them eat dog.
After all, Western capital forces are not monolithic. When they see problems with the Quantum Fund, they will most likely not provide help when it is time, but will choose to add insult to injury.
In recent years, Quantum Fund has offended many financial institutions in the global financial market. These financial institutions will definitely not help Quantum Fund.
All arrangements are being made quietly.
Just wait quietly for the prey to walk into the trap.
…
As the Spring Festival approaches.
The New Year atmosphere in Shanmei is getting stronger and stronger.
The streets and alleys are full of stalls selling Spring Festival couplets, blessing stickers, red envelopes and New Year flowers.
And young people who went back to their hometowns to celebrate the New Year during the holidays are also coming back from other places one after another.
Taking into account the needs of professional management, the Hai Lufeng specialty store on Erma Road has handed over the eel rice business of this specialty store to Jianghai Restaurant diagonally opposite since June last year.
At this time, the store manager of the specialty store was receiving a batch of aquatic products that had just been transported from Shiomachi Breeding Farm.
Including eels, Egyptian pond lice, blue crabs (locally called cream crabs), vannamei shrimp, rosenbergii shrimp, and Shiomachi oysters, these are all aquatic products that can be continuously supplied.
The store manager took the clerk to check the quantity and weight, and then took out the reservation list sent by the headquarters. These reservation customers all lived in the city. He first sent a notification text message to the customers who placed orders on the APP, asking them to come to the store to pick up the goods as soon as possible. .
And those customers who booked through other channels need to call and notify them one by one.
After a while.
A Land Rover was parked on the roadside not far away.
Two middle-aged men walked directly into the store.
"Who is the store manager Luo?" One of the middle-aged men with a heavy back asked with a smile.
The store manager quickly stopped talking on the phone and said with a smile: "Hello, I am the store manager. Are you here to pick up the goods? Do you have a pick-up code?"
"Here..." The middle-aged man took out the QR code saved on his mobile phone.
The store manager scanned it and printed out the list: "10 jins of oysters, 5 jins of crab crabs, 5 jins of shrimps, no problem? Mr. Chen."
"That's the number."
"Xiao Fang, you pack for the guests."
"Okay."
Arriving at the aquatic product area, the middle-aged man looked at the few aquatic products in the aquarium. He asked, "Don't you have hairy crabs? Why don't you see them?" "The hairy crabs are not in season yet, so I guess we have to wait a few more years." Months." Xiao Fang said while fishing for oysters.
Another middle-aged man who followed the big-backed middle-aged man came over and picked up an oyster: "Old Chen, are these oysters really delicious?"
"You old boy ate foreign products in Pengcheng, but now you look down on domestic products?" Lao Chen joked.
"I'm kidding, I own a Japanese food shop. Domestic oysters are really not as good as those from Gaul and Australia when it comes to eating them raw. I have also tried oysters from several domestic production areas, but they are basically not good."
< br>
"Waiter, are there any lemons?"
"Does the guest want to try it? Yes, wait a moment."
After a while, the waiter Xiao Fang came over with a small dining cart, which had tools for opening oysters, as well as lemon, wasabi root and soy sauce.
He skillfully pried open a few oysters and cut lemons: "Guest, please!"
"Do you also provide wasabi root?" The Japanese food store owner was very surprised.
"After all, if you only have such good oysters with ordinary mustard sauce, it will be a waste of money." Xiao Fang replied with a smile while quickly grinding the wasabi root on the small millstone.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
Lao Chen patted his friend: "My Mr. Lin, give it a try!"
"Okay." Boss Lin picked up an oyster and took a sip of the water in the oyster shell. The taste was like sea water, but not as strong and direct as sea water.
Then he sucked the oysters into his mouth without dipping anything and savored them carefully.
Lao Chen ignored his friend. After seeing Xiao Fang grinding some wasabi puree, he squeezed a little lemon juice on the oysters, dipped in some wasabi puree, and then put the oyster meat into his mouth.
"Very good! It tastes a bit like Namibian oysters in South Africa."
The main breeding area for Namibian oysters is in the Walvis Bay area of Namibia, where the Benguela cold current comes ashore. Due to the low water temperature and rich nutrients, the oysters in this area are very sweet, with a unique taste and no fishy smell. They have the sweetness of fruit trees in the mouth and the meat is plump. However, most of them are only available seasonally.
Boss Lin had eaten this kind of oyster before when he went to work in Africa.
As for Gallic Peron oysters and Australian rock oysters, not everyone likes them, because the taste of these two oysters has a strong metallic taste, which many people are not used to.
The oysters that are currently more popular among domestic oyster lovers are Gallic Ginado oysters and New Zealand Bluff oysters.
"Not bad, Mr. Lin." Old Chen picked up another oyster.
"You're so quick, kid." Boss Lin quickly picked up the remaining oyster, squeezed in a little lemon juice, dipped it in a little wasabi puree, and put it in his mouth. It had a completely different flavor.
After a while, Boss Lin quickly asked: "Waiter, can your oysters be delivered to Pengcheng?"
Xiaofang smiled and replied: "This customer can deliver to Pengcheng. You can make a reservation on our company's APP and then designate to pick up the goods at the specialty store in Pengcheng."
"I know." Boss Lin had purchased live eels and white truffles from the Hailufeng specialty store before, and knew that Hailufeng Company had stores in Pengcheng, one of which was less than two kilometers away from his Japanese food store.
As for the price of 100 yuan per kilogram, this price is actually not expensive, especially for this kind of top-quality oysters that can be eaten raw. Imported oysters generally cost more than 200 yuan per kilogram. Even if you go to wholesalers to buy in bulk, the price is at least It also costs 150 yuan per kilogram.
What's more, he only runs a Japanese food store, not a seafood store. He can't get much goods at one time. If the quantity of goods he takes can't increase, the wholesaler won't give too many discounts.
After the two tasted the oyster.
Boss Lin looked at the crabs that Lao Chen had packaged: "Old Chen, are you going to pickle these crabs?"
"Yeah?"
“I’ll share a few with you when the time comes.”
"It's a beautiful idea. I want to give some to my father-in-law, and my aunt's family also wants some. How can I get some for you?" Lao Chen refused directly.
"No, brothers of decades, are you treating me like this?"
Lao Chen didn't believe the other party's lies: "Haha, if you want to eat, you can buy it yourself, don't try to make up my mind all day long."
"Can't I buy it?" Boss Lin also wanted to buy crabs just now, but the waiter said that these crabs have been reserved by customers, and now they can only make reservations, and the reservation period has been scheduled to March.
Boss Lin, who really liked eating raw pickled crab, looked at his good friend Lao Chen.
Faced with the stalking of his good friend, Lao Chen could only say helplessly: "I really can't do anything with you, just two. When you pick it up yourself later, you have to pay me back four."
"Okay."
Boss Lin turned around and picked up his mobile phone, ready to place an order on the APP. Suddenly he stopped and looked at Lao Chen eagerly.
Lao Chen felt uncomfortable looking at him and asked speechlessly: "If you fart, hurry up and don't wait too long."
"Haha, Lao Chen, you also know that my own raw pickling techniques have never been good. Why not, I will give you money to buy crabs, and then ask my sister-in-law to help me pickle more than ten kilograms."
"You are really good at calling people."
"Old Chen, you have a share of my crab crabs. When the time comes, I will fix the problem myself. Don't regret it." Boss Lin reminded with a strange smile.
Lao Chen immediately realized that he had been tricked by this old boy, but when he thought about the other party's pickling techniques, he was really worried. He had been poisoned by this old boy's raw pickled crabs several times before, so he could only reluctantly agree. Come down:
"Okay, can't I help?"
At this time, other customers who came to pick up goods also arrived one after another.
In the aquatic products area of the Erma Road specialty store, a line formed soon.
The crabs, oysters, shrimps, and white shrimps were all cleared out in less than two hours, along with Egyptian pond lice, eels, and other products.
Even though Egyptian pond lice were not popular in the past, high-quality Egyptian pond lice, especially the small Egyptian pond lice recently launched by Hailufeng Company, are small-sized Egyptian pond lice weighing 0.25∽0.3 kg each. The taste is similar to the local Lingnan food. The native tang lice are almost the same, and many people buy them and eat them as tang lice. After all, the taste and size are similar.
The price of this small-sized Egyptian pond louse is about 20 yuan per kilogram. Compared with the price and output of the Egyptian pond louse, it will soon be replaced by the Egyptian pond louse.
noon.
While eating, store manager Luo Weimin looked at the background data, and the corners of his mouth raised involuntarily.
Today, their branch sold a total of 200 kilograms of oysters, plus white shrimps, crabs, and shrimps. The sales of the entire aquatic product category reached more than 90,000.
This means that their branch received a performance bonus of more than 900 yuan today for aquatic products alone. Although it was shared among four store employees, each person received almost 200 yuan.
Of course, this kind of surge in sales of aquatic products basically only lasts for a few days before the Chinese New Year. It can last for about a week after the Chinese New Year, and there is almost a month of peak season.
At other times, only during the Mid-Autumn Festival or wedding banquets, it is possible to achieve a turnover of more than 100,000 in a single day.
However, this is just Luo Weimin's own estimate. He did not calculate that Hailufeng Company will also launch various salmon, salmon roe, Arctic sweet shrimp, king crab, big rattle snail, square spotted Dongfeng snail, Splendid lobster, and Pipi shrimp in the future. , hairy crabs and other products.
With more product categories, the overall turnover will naturally increase, even in the off-season.
In order to cultivate the market.
The physical business department squeezed out nearly one-tenth of its production capacity and sent its products to the Pearl River Delta region.
Due to the very small supply, the specialty stores in the Pearl River Delta region have not received the goods, and customers who have made reservations can only go to warehouse supermarkets in the suburbs to pick up the goods.
But the reputation of Shiomachi oysters has also spread.
At least oyster lovers in the Pearl River Delta region generally believe that the quality of Shiomachi oysters is very good after eating it once. Many high-end restaurants also smelled the taste and quickly made many reservations with Hailufeng Company.
After all, Jiang Miao’s customized feeding plan for Shiomachi oysters is to make them more suitable for the tastes of domestic consumers, instead of making them taste like Bellon oysters, which are full of metal. This heavy taste is difficult for many people to accept. .
