Chapter 100 The Rise of the Dynasty
Ten thousand hands require 500 million US dollars in deposit, so Yifei has only 900 million US dollars left to use it freely. It seems that it is not enough to acquire the equity in Ho Ying-tung, but don't forget that this futures contract can be used as collateral to lend to banks.
If Yi Fei hadn't wanted to take risks, he would even want to sell 20,000 lots short. After all, the current decline in the London index is destined. If Yi Fei did not intervene and make a fortune from the British government, it would be too stupid...
The ringtone of the opening market rang, and to Yi Fei heard it, it rang like a soul-stimulating bell for the UK. After the opening market, Yi Fei moved the fastest and immediately shorted 10,000 contracts. The market was slightly stunned for a moment, and tens of thousands of short-selling orders soon poured out. The London index, which was originally rising, finally stopped speed.
Just as the index was shaking up and down, a shocking news came from the stock market. Some people in the stock market were selling stocks in the top 100 constituent companies at extremely low prices. In the blink of an eye, the sold stocks filled the market.
The index was like a fat man who had reached the peak. Under this heavy blow, he finally couldn't resist it and rolled down. People were stunned for a moment and immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to make money. Short selling and short selling, and only people around the world seemed to know only this sentence.
With a loud bang, the London financial market was overturned to the ground by an invisible hand, and everyone was reluctant to pounce on it and stomp it a few times. At this moment, two companies in the component stocks also reported financial scandals that made everyone lose their confidence.
This day is destined to be a disaster day for London futures and stock exchanges. Some people can't wait for the afternoon to close the market, and they lost bankruptcy only at the morning. Many investment companies with hundreds of millions of assets continued to chase the rise blindly, but the wealth they had been working hard to completely evaporate in one morning and were also carrying hundreds of millions of debts.
At the end of the afternoon, even short sellers made their eyes straight and their faces pale. In just one day, the London index fell by more than a thousand points. In London, Europe, and the world, there was only a wailing sound, and the loss was so great that it was everywhere.
This day became the biggest disaster for European finance from 1992 to today, with a drop of more than 1,200 points a day, which means that short buyers not only lost their own money, but also had a debt of 15 times.
Shortly after the closing of the afternoon, at least six greedy investment companies around the world declared bankruptcy. The bosses came to the rooftop of the high-rise buildings as if they were waiting to be massacred. They walked to the edge and worked hard to completely free their debts. One hour after the closing, at least thirty people around the world jumped off buildings and committed suicide, most of them being securities or futures brokers.
The clouds of sadness shrouded over London, no, it has spread to the whole of Europe. As long as the whole Europe participated in this investment, the short sellers laughed, and the short sellers cried. She smiled and made several times the money in a blink of an eye, and she cried and she lost all her assets in a blink of an eye, and she also brought debts that would never be lost. Everything went crazy...
On the 28th, the British government took action to protect the market, and countless dollars were poured in. However, it still could not resist the crazy momentum. Under the silent push of the world, the London index fell below 5,000 points on this day, and the world was shocked. Governments from all over the country were alert to avoid being affected.
But all this is definitely not the most deadly thing. The most deadly thing comes from the securities market. Almost all stocks in the securities market have shrunk by nearly half, and stocks are like waste paper. Billions suddenly find that they wake up overnight and half of their wealth has been stolen by some thief.
The consequence of the shrinking assets is that they are insolvent, and they can only declare liquidation and bankruptcy. For a time, just like a chain effect, within three days, at least more than six large groups with assets exceeding 10 billion yuan declared bankruptcy.
The world is shrouded in this powerful shadow, and Hong Kong finance is inevitably affected. The Hang Seng Index finally couldn't stand the decline on the third day, but under the strong and powerful arms of the world, it only fell by more than 80 points, which is just a little bit.
Of course, Xincheng and Baige benefited. The billions of dollars that the two companies were trapped in were finally understood. After careful calculation, they each only lost about 700 million US dollars in Hong Kong. Compared with this whole operation, there was still a profit.
On the fourth day, London could no longer hold on and announced the market suspension for three days. In the three days, Britain was once again ruthless and mobilized the US dollar and the euro. Finally, it stopped on the eighth day. Countries and places around the world kept praising the British government's decisiveness, but they didn't know that Britain was wailing and scolding none of the so-called allies.
At least half of the funds that the British government has protected the market have been traversed by speculators from various countries. Not only can the world make at least 10 billion in futures, but it has also reached countless acquisitions during the period and completed acquisitions and mergers and acquisitions of many large groups.
This time, the British stock market crash that shocked the world, confirmed that nothing is uncontrollable. Although later, everyone realized that this time it was absolutely unrelated to the world. The British government even considered driving the World Fund and its behind-the-scenes companies out of the UK, but when they thought about how huge the economic entity it was, they had to give up. Of course, they realized what kind of revenge it was.
It was a long time later that the whole world finally realized that this UK financial disaster was planned together by the most famous and most valuable golden triangle lineup in the world. This golden triangle lineup includes the former chairman of the world and the two former chairman of the company behind the scenes. People can only lament the most offensive and conspiring lineup in the world.
Of course, it was only many years later that people realized that Yi Fei rose up in this battle. For Yi Fei, he also did not realize that in this nearly month-long entanglement battle, he had a move with his life for the first time.
On this black day on the 27th, Tiger Group from Atlantic City, USA finally reached an agreement with Sindhi Group. Tiger reached a acquisition of Sindhi for HK$25 billion and officially took over Sindhi.
The next day, Yi Fei happily acquired the Australian Entertainment equity held by Ho Ying-tung for 900 million US dollars below the market price, and acquired the Australian Entertainment equity held by Lin Ying-nan for 280 million US dollars, thus officially taking over the Australian Entertainment.
A few days later, Tiger split up Sindh and retained the equity of Australian Entertainment, and all the others were sold, which was extremely merciless. On the same day, Rasves Platinum Group announced that it had acquired 28% of the equity in Zheng Yutong and other Australian Entertainment shareholders.
On May 9, 2007, Macau Entertainment and Tourism Company welcomed three major shareholders who had just taken over. At the dock, Yi Fei and Qi Yuan got off the boat together with their assistants and Mo Jia. They came to the Lisboa Hotel together, and after a short rest, they came to the conference room.
After stepping into the conference room with Qi Yuan, Yi Fei felt countless eyes look over. He smiled and glanced at the week. He saw more than 20 people sitting around the oval long table, and these were shareholders of Australian Entertainment, some of which even had only a few minus stake.
On the left closest to the first seat, there was a handsome young man sitting, who was a little older than Yi Fei, and always looked shy when he smiled. He was a very popular man. The man was Newton. He smiled slightly at Yi Fei and Qi Yuan, and recalled the information of these two people intently.
In fact, there is no need for any memory, so how could Newton not know about Yi Fei? A few days ago, he was still entangled with Yi Fei in Hong Kong, and of course he couldn't forget it. Last time it was in Macau that Yi Fei broke their business.
Newton stood up and smiled and stretched out his hand to Yi Fei and Qi Yuan: "Mr. Yi, Mr. Qi, my name is Newton, welcome you!"
Yi Fei was slightly stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand and smiled, "No, as the master here, you need to welcome him."
Yi Fei and Qi Yuan sat in the upper position on the right. Qi Yuan glanced at Newton and said unhappily in Yi Fei's ear: "I don't like that guy named Newton at all. He is as cunning as you!"
In less than a moment, the third major shareholder came, and the person who came was Zhang Haowen. The guy came in and glanced at him, quickly staying on Newton's face. How could he not recognize Newton, a guy who is also a finalist in the Top 100s.
"Today is the election of the chairman of the board of directors, I hope everyone..." He Qiongyi, who was the first to be the first, had a crisp voice loud in this conference room: "However, before that, I want to announce that I have transferred three percent of the privately held equity to Mr. Zhang Haowen..."
"I'm very sorry, I have signed a contract with Newton and sold 1.8% of the equity I hold in my hand to Platinum Group!" Another person stood up and said with a serious expression.
"I have also given away 2.3% of the equity I hold to Mr. Yi Fei, so I don't need to attend today's shareholders' meeting!" Then a man stood up and smiled and nodded to Yi Fei, then walked out of the conference room.
More and more people stood up and said they had sold their shares to someone, and more and more people walked out of the conference room. When less than ten people were left in this huge conference room, the equity of Australian Entertainment had basically been reclaimed to Yi Fei, Qi Yuan, Newton and Zhang Haowen.
At this time, Yi Fei and Qi Yuan held 24% of the shares, while Platinum Group represented by Newton held 30% and Zhang Haowen's Tiger Group held 28%. The remaining 18% were in the hands of the other four directors, forming a situation where the three strongholds were separated.
The conference room suddenly stared at me. No one expected this situation. The three of them originally planned to acquire more equity in one fell swoop in order to control the Australian entertainment industry. But the current situation seemed to have all done the same thing, and the three parties were in a stalemate.
The shareholders were reshuffled and were silent for a moment. Finally, a director stood up and spoke to break the continuous silence: "Now there are only eight shareholders left in Macau Entertainment. You three have the most equity. Now it is proposed to select the candidates for chairman..."
Newton's shy smile always seemed very sincere, even making Yi Fei feel the same. He stood up and took out a hardcover envelope in his arms, opened the envelope and smiled: "This is the power of attorney from the Board of Directors of Platinum Group. I will fully handle the affairs of Macau entertainment on behalf of Platinum Group. Please read it..."
After browsing, Yi Fei quickly narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that such a gambling expert would know how to operate. Newton smiled softly: "Now, Platinum Group has 30% of its equity, which is the most. Therefore, it is most appropriate to have Mr. Anthony as the chairman of the board!"
"I object!" Zhang Haowen continued to sit coldly, looking a little arrogant: "The position of the chairman of the board should not be determined by the equity, but by the shareholders. Now I propose to serve as the chairman of the board..."
"I choose Mr. Anthony!" "I choose Mr. Zhang Haowen!" Everyone shouted and turned their eyes to Yi Fei and Qi Yuan. Now Newton and Zhang Haowen are evenly matched, and only Yi Fei and Qi Yuan can make the final result.
Yi Fei did not hesitate much and made a slow decision. He could not take the position of chairman. This is certain, so it is better to support one first. He obviously prefers the kind Newton: "I think Platinum Group may be more appropriate. Of course, this is just a plan of equity."
He Qiongyi looked at this scene and couldn't help feeling sad. She didn't expect that the foundation that her father built was gone like this. As soon as the big tree fell, the money immediately dispersed. Unexpectedly, her father had been working on her whole life and was actually making wedding dresses for others.
Thinking of this, He Qiongyi could no longer hold it back, and tears slightly moistened her eyes. She turned around and said, since she was no longer a shareholder, she had no right to be here. She thought, it was time for her to leave...
Looking at He Qiongyi's departure back, Yi Fei couldn't help but sigh, "Life has been like this for a hundred years, but it is the same. He Gambler was so glorious and powerful in his lifetime. Unexpectedly, he really didn't expect. So what if he worked hard for a hundred years? Now, there are eight shareholders on the board of directors, but none of them have a surname He, and they have no inevitable or accidental relationship with the He family...
