Chapter 345 Hurricane Plan (1)
Yang Mo nodded and explained: "European and American consumers are more concerned about brands, and listing on the New York Stock Exchange is the most convenient and quickest way to increase brand awareness..."
How could he easily give up such a good opportunity? He vowed: "Mr. Yang, give me half a year, and I will deal with most of the debts as soon as possible..."
Yang Mo thought for a while and then said: "Half a year is still a bit long. It is best to reduce the debt level before the end of the year. Land prices and housing prices in Bangkok have indeed been a bit high in recent years."
Yang Mo finally gave him a hint. Whether he can understand it or not depends on the young man's understanding.
…………
Early March 1996.
Li Heping and Guo Kexin arrived in Bangkok respectively, and the "Hurricane Plan" officially kicked off...
"Peace, tell me first, how are the preparations going?"
"The affiliated companies of Qianhai Asset Management have already gone to Jakarta, Manila, Hanoi, and Seoul in September. Funds have also entered through various channels. However, because of its large size, it should have attracted the attention of financial regulatory agencies in various places!" Li Heping's report on [-].
Yang Mo chuckled and said: "There is no need to hide, the funds will come in openly in the name of investment!"
Li Heping said with a wry smile: "We are different from manufacturing giants like Zhiyuan Group. Usually, the subsequent flow of hot money that suddenly comes in will be subject to supervision. As usual, this money will flow into the real estate market and stock market. I think It’s better to break it all into small parts. Small-cap funds enter the stock market and foreign exchange market in batches, and the regulatory authorities don’t care much!”
"Then what are you going to do?" Yang Mo asked with interest.
"We initially plan to open a U.S. dollar account in a foreign bank, then use the U.S. dollar assets in the account as collateral, lend local currency to the foreign bank and sell it in the foreign exchange market, and then change to another financial institution to repeat the operation..." Li Heping worked in Silicon Valley and Wall Street. After working hard for many years, I have mastered the routine of shorting other countries' currencies by hedge funds. I only need to use a small part of the funds to enter the game through repeated mortgages, and then lead the mood of international hot money with great fanfare to make a wedding dress for my advance layout!
Yang Mo patted Li Heping on the shoulder and said: "Okay, this kind of plan is easier for you to control. Just tell them to do it with confidence and boldness. The position can be deeper and there is no need to reserve too much funds!"
"Ah? Isn't this okay? Who will carry the sedan chair for us in the future? The interest rates of local currencies in Southeast Asia are now far higher than the Federal Reserve's benchmark interest rates. If the confidence of the foreign exchange market cannot be defeated in a short time, we will be very disappointed just by the interest rate difference of lending local currencies. It’s unbearable!” Li Heping asked in confusion.
"You just have to worry about it! I have other arrangements for the funds to carry the sedan chair! Even if the progress is not smooth, at the critical moment, Merlo Bank around the world will give you a large amount of credit!" Yang Mo waved his hand and said.
"Is Zongheng Investment investing heavily from now on?" Guo Kexin asked in surprise.
Yang Mo pondered for a while and then said: "You can control the position of Zongheng Investment by yourself, but I can only give you one year. After one year, be ready to withdraw your funds from Southeast Asia and return to Xiangjiang at any time!"
"Didn't you say that this hurricane plan does not include Hong Kong, Japan and the mainland?" Guo Kexin asked in surprise with a look of confusion on her face.
"Yes! Mr. Yang, Hong Kong is at a critical juncture before Hong Kong's return. We short the Hong Kong dollar, which is tantamount to going against the mainland government. Please think twice..." Li Heping also advised with sincerity.
Yang Mo waved his hand and said: "I have my own sense of discretion, just do as I say! Peace, you are sitting in Bangkok, Qianhai Asset Management's affiliated companies are heavily shorting the local currencies of Southeast Asian countries, and Merlo Bank will provide you with sufficient financial support... …”
"Do you have anything else?" Yang Mo asked, looking at Guo Kexin who was about to speak but refused to leave.
Li Heping wisely left first. After Guo Kexin hesitated for a moment, he patiently persuaded: "Yang Mo, I know that the decision you make will usually not be changed, but I still want to persuade you again. Whether it is Zhiyuan Group or Zongheng Investment, It is a company that grew up step by step in Hong Kong. To short the Hong Kong dollar during this special period is to openly oppose the mainland and the SAR government. Have you considered the consequences of doing so?"
"You don't want to?" Yang Mo asked with a frown.
Guo Kexin nodded: "Of course I don't want to, but if you insist on doing this, I can only execute it. Also, Zhiyuan Group had better cut off Zongheng Investment in time, otherwise Zhiyuan Group's reputation will plummet..."
"Oh? How do you want to cut it?" Yang Mo asked with interest.
"You misunderstood me. Zongheng Investment will always be yours. Before shorting the Xiangjiang stock market and foreign exchange market, you'd better transfer the equity of Zongheng Investment to the name of Qianhai Asset Management. From now on, no matter what Zongheng Investment does, it will be yours." It has nothing to do with Zhiyuan Group, and your properties in the Mainland will not be implicated. Don’t even think about secretly shorting the Hong Kong stock market and foreign exchange market with associated accounts. Most of the core management of Zongheng Investment are natives of Hong Kong. This kind of thing will inevitably leak out. News!" Guo Kexin said solemnly.
"What are you thinking? Asking you to withdraw your capital and return to Xiangjiang is shorting the stock and foreign exchange markets? Even if you really want to do this, do you think I will let you do it? Wouldn't it be more appropriate for Qianhai to have so many affiliated companies?" Yang Mo said dumbfounded.
"Then what do you mean? Are you ready to go long? Once the Southeast Asian financial crisis takes shape, it will be difficult for Xiangjiang to survive alone..." Guo Kexin asked in confusion.
Yang Mo chuckled and said: "I want you to go back because I am going to take this opportunity to push you to the position of a leader in the business community of Xiangjiang. Xiangjiang's return is imminent, and we need a leader who can lead the development of Xiangjiang..."
Guo Kexin had a look of disbelief on her face and exclaimed: "How is this possible? There are so many outstanding business leaders in Xiangjiang, how can I be so virtuous and capable? And lead the development of Xiangjiang? Yang Mo, you praise me too much... "
"Prestige, qualifications, and financial resources are all secondary. What is important is that you can identify with the mainland government from the bottom of your heart, so that you can catch the rapid development of the mainland. This is the most important thing!" Yang Mo explained.
"No, no... With my qualifications, it's hard to convince the public, isn't it? Just one of the Zeng family or the Huo family has more appeal than me. Unless you come to be the president of the association, it's almost enough for me to run errands for you. ..." Guo Kexin waved her hands repeatedly and said.
"If there is such a person who can turn the tide and repel these financial giants when Hong Kong is surrounded by international hot money and is in a desperate situation, facing life and death, do you think she is qualified to sit on the chair of the Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce? Location?" Yang Mo looked at Guo Kexin and asked with a half-smile.
