The rebirth of the Hong Kong Island chaebol, starting with a short-selling Eagle Sauce

Chapter 149: Didn’t you say it’s not for sale? Why don’t you speak harshly?



Chapter 149: Didn’t you say it’s not for sale? Why don’t you speak harshly?

Watson's face was ashen. He had many money-burning projects in the beautiful country.

Now that the currency of Eagle Country has collapsed, it means that his net worth has shrunk significantly and he will be unable to continue the business of Beautiful Country.

"What should the boss do now? Stop the business in our beautiful country for a while?"

Watson said firmly: "We can't stop. If we stop, we will really be finished."

He thought very clearly that Eagle Country's fundamentals had been shattered, and it would not take a year or two to recover. It would not be easy to stop overseas business and turn around again.

The most uncomfortable thing for a person is to experience a life of glory and wealth, and then let him live a life of hardship.

What can save him now is to sell his business in Eagle Country and let the overseas business continue, so that he can have hope of turning around.

There were not just one or two people who had the same idea as him.

It is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. They all looked at Wang Lei.

At this moment, they were like taxi drivers standing at the entrance of a high-speed rail station fighting for customers late at night. After blowing the cold wind all night, they finally saw an oncoming customer.

In order to promote their own property, they lowered the price of each other and almost got into an ungentlemanly fight.

Looking at this scene, Wang Lei knew that most of his plan was successful.

Robert's timing was just right. If it had been a little later, it wouldn't have been so successful.

Watson was so angry that he was shaking all over as he watched his former teammate take the initiative to lower the price.

A bunch of idiots, you are so low on price, how can you show any dignity of the nobility of Xizhou?

"Mr. Wang Lei, 30% of Aerospace's shares are yours for only $6 million. In addition, I will also give you 2% of Royal Shell Energy's shares!"

Watson's words made the whole audience froze. Duke, you really have no sense of moral integrity. This damn thing is about to break your bones!

Wang Lei smiled. Watson is still very discerning. He may have realized that after the collapse of the pound, the Eagle Kingdom will usher in a series of avalanches. At this time, it depends on who runs the fastest. If he runs a little slower, there will be a battle. Catastrophe.

In the past, Wang Lei would have made sarcastic remarks.

But these people were all friends of Wendys, and he didn't want to offend these powerful people so badly, so he agreed to Watson's transaction application.

Others are a bit pained and can only follow Watson's price quotation.

In the end, Wang Lei bought the third largest communications company in Eagle Country for only US$19 billion.

The remaining shares are still in the hands of Princess Wendice.

Her family's great business has not been affected at all by the depreciation of the pound.

"Wendis, I can give you double the price. Are you really not considering selling your shares to me?"

"I won't sell it, haha. The business you value will definitely have great potential in the future. Work hard, young man, but don't be lazy."

Wang Lei suddenly had a strange feeling. As a major shareholder, he felt more like a part-time worker.

But then I thought about it, with Princess Windis's shares, some young people would be more restrained. After all, the royal family is the largest plutocrat in the Eagle Kingdom.

A smile couldn't help but appear on his face.

It’s not certain who will work for whom. When Aerospace Telecommunications is going to be listed, how can she, a major shareholder who holds far more than 5% of the shares, do it without her contribution.

Wendis saw that Wang Lei was also smiling. She was very familiar with this kind of smile. Wang Lei also smiled like this when he was plotting against the beautiful Chinese people. She didn't know what Wang Lei was plotting against her, so she touched her beautiful blond hair in annoyance.

It turned out that Watson's hunch was correct, and the pound was completely broken down, falling by nearly 50% in just a few days!

Lamont himself didn't expect they would lose so quickly.

The short sellers played rough and did not reason with them at all, especially Cayman Capital, who was simply an international gangster.

Because of the low interest rates in Eagle Country, Robert directly borrowed a large amount of pounds from Eagle Country Bank, and then simply sold them. At the same time, he shorted the stock market and futures market, taking full care of the empire to prevent it from sunset.

Ying Guo was just a delicate girl who was knocked to the ground by a rough man without any foreplay...she was pushed to the ground and humiliated, and then many young men swarmed her up.

When Beautiful Country and a group of allies arrived, the international hot money had dispersed, leaving only Eagle Country riddled with holes.

The Great Eagle Empire, which was a decent person yesterday, is experiencing a financial tsunami today.

The Eagle Nation, dragged down by its allies, finally had its last fig leaf lifted.

It was a devastating day for the entire Eagle Nation financial community.

The matter is far from over, Lamont still has to clean up the mess in front of him, otherwise the Eagle Country's economy will fall into an endless loop and completely become the back garden of short sellers.

The first thing he thought of was that Eagle Country would raise interest rates. Lamont found the Prime Minister overnight, and the two of them raised the interest rates directly to 15%.

The falling pound finally showed some reaction and began to rise slowly.

By this time Lamont's patience with Schlesinger had run out.

On January 1991, 1, Lamont held a press conference and announced in front of all Western media that Eagle Country would withdraw from the Mark series and implement a floating exchange rate system.

This statement became good news for the pound, which immediately rose by 15%.

But this statement was also regarded by the Wall Street media as the official surrender of Eagle Country.

The bears are winning again!

And Robert became the soul of this battle of the century, with another halo around him, and was hailed as the man who defeated the Eagle Country's central bank.

Robert, who had gained so much, had no time to be interviewed by the media. He was counting money with a group of actuaries.

They took the lead in shorting the British pound of approximately US$500 billion. The mark rose by nearly 20% during the period of shorting the British pound. This time and again, Cayman Capital’s net profit reached US$300 billion. This does not include Cayman’s Make money by shorting futures and the stock market.

However, judging from the data, Cayman did make nearly double the profit.

You must know that in the financial market, it is very easy to turn one dollar into ten dollars, but if you want to turn one hundred million into two hundred million, the difficulty and uncertainty will increase exponentially.

Adhering to the principle of doing things in a high profile and making money in a low profile, Cayman Capital has not disclosed its financial reports. The media can only guess out of thin air that Cayman Capital has earned approximately 150 billion to 200 billion US dollars.

This is why Lao Suo thinks Robert is bragging. Generally, short sellers who come after hearing the news can make a net profit of 20%, which is very good.

Lao Suo, who had made 33% of the net profit, was already feeling proud, but when he thought about Cayman Robert making more, he was a little frustrated.

Little did he realize that what was supposed to be his battle to become a god had instead become Robert's backdrop.

Even worse is the richest man Li.
