Chapter 840: Funds from various countries are cashing out

Mr. Rong of CITIC followed Zhang Heping, Chairman He and others to the tea restaurant downstairs of the Peace Hotel in Hong Kong Island. As soon as he sat down, he asked directly, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think of Japan's investment of 500 trillion yen to rescue the market?"

To put it bluntly, they came here in such a hurry just to ask about this matter.

Although Zhang Heping said on the phone that he was still bearish on Japanese stocks, the fact that Stepmother Investment Company withdrew 10 trillion yen discounted Zhang Heping's words.

According to common sense, if Zhang Heping believes that Japanese stocks will continue to fall sharply, he should continue to use his financial advantage to short Japanese stocks!

Zhang Heping ordered a cup of black tea from the waiter next to him, then looked at Mr. Rong and said, "500 trillion yen to rescue the market, it's impossible just to think about it!"

"If the Japanese are really so stupid as to issue an extra 500 trillion yen, Japan will lose its monetary sovereignty, and the yen will withdraw from international settlement currency and become worthless paper."

"So, in order to avoid this possibility, foreign investors should rush to sell Japanese yen and Japanese assets, but Euro-US funds bought Japanese stocks against the market trend yesterday afternoon, which is unreasonable!"

"On the other hand, if the 500 trillion yen is false, or in other words, the total amount is true, but the way and frequency of investment in the Japanese stock market is different from what we thought."

"Then, we must be careful about what the Japanese and European Magnesium Capital are planning."

"I see!" Chairman Guo echoed, "The Japanese called in Euro-Magnesium Capital. Their primary purpose must be to deal with us, the short-side funds."

"However, they did not expect us to stay on the sidelines yesterday and turn bullish in the afternoon, pulling up Japanese stocks with them."

Zhang Heping looked at the smiling Chairman Guo, who probably bought a lot of Japanese stocks yesterday afternoon, so he reminded him, "If the 500 trillion yen is different from what we thought, what will be the first reaction of many people?"

The people present were silent for a moment, and President He and Baochuan Wang answered at the same time:

"Cheated!"

“I’ve been cheated!”

Zhang Heping nodded and continued, "If we continue to short Japanese stocks, the Japanese will unite against the enemy and simply ignore the problems in the Ministry of Finance's 500 trillion yen rescue plan, and then point the finger at us."

"So, I asked my stepmother to withdraw some money from the investment first, to give the outside world the impression that I was not going to continue shorting Japanese stocks, and then wait and see how the Japanese islanders would end up."

Chairman He placed the green tea brought by the waiter in front of him and continued, "If we don't confront the funds of Japan, Europe and Magnesium head-on, they will lose their target of attack."

"According to the downgrade assessments of Japanese companies by major institutions, European and American funds may go long on Japanese stocks for a short period of time, but it will definitely not last long because even they are not optimistic about the current operating capabilities of Japanese companies."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have followed us in shorting Japanese stocks before!"

"Uncle!" The third nephew Tang Qiang called out, and then he ran to Zhang Heping in a hurry, panting and saying, "The Japanese stock market has started to fall again. Do you think it will rebound this afternoon like it did yesterday afternoon?"

Zhang Heping frowned and turned on the screen of his mobile phone. He looked at the Japanese stock trading situation in the Heping Financial Software, and then said to Chairman He, Chairman Guo and others:

"European and magnesium funds are fighting on their own. If the Japanese do not continue to promise benefits, many European and magnesium institutions will consider reducing their positions and wait and see."

Rijima, Dongdu Stock Exchange.

The short and thin minister of the Ministry of Cultural Exchange stood in front of the French window of the VIP room on the third floor, looking at the people downstairs who didn't know how to use computers or mobile phones to trade stocks, and asked casually:

"Dalang, do you think the Japanese stock market will rebound this afternoon?"

Aso Taro, who has been transferred to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as Vice Minister, also stood by the window, looking down at the retail investors downstairs. "It's hard to say, unless the Ministry of Finance can really come up with money to save the market."

"Before the Japanese stock market stabilizes, or before those people in the Ministry of Finance resign, the cabinet meeting will not agree to let them use money to rescue the market!" The short and thin old man sneered, "I won't let them make meritorious contributions while guilty!"

"If that's the case, those foreign investors should have pushed up their stocks and sold them this afternoon," Vice Minister Aso said seriously. "After all, they are not stupid. Why would they be so stupid as to come and support the Japanese stock market?"

The short, thin old man from the Cultural Exchange Department nodded and said, "If you can figure this out, I won't test you anymore."

"Remember, after becoming the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you must find a way to become the head of a department, even if it is only a small department."

"Hey!" Vice Minister Aso hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude for the other party's teachings.

Just as the short and thin old man turned around and prepared to leave.

Aso Dalang stood up, followed closely behind him, and asked in a low voice: "What do you think of the withdrawal of the investment company by the stepmother?"

The short and thin old man put his hands behind his back and smiled faintly, "Since Mr. Zhang knew that the Ministry of Finance was going to join forces with OMG Capital to deal with him, it is not surprising that he made a strategic retreat."

"Judging from today's Japanese stock market, Euro-Mei Capital, which has lost its common goal, can no longer maintain the posture of advancing and retreating together as it did yesterday!"

Aso Taro complimented the minister a few times, sent him out, and then went to the computer room on the second floor.

"How is it?" As soon as Aso Taro entered the door, he looked at his wife Aso Yuriko.

"Foreign investors are rushing to sell, while domestic retail investors and companies are constantly buying. If the stock market rebounds in the afternoon, I'm afraid domestic retail investors and companies will follow suit frantically!"

The Hong Kong Stock Exchange closed at 10: am on Hong Kong Island.

Zhang Heping chatted with Chairman He, Chairman Guo and others for a while. When he saw them starting to discuss where to have lunch, he stood up and said goodbye, preparing to go to Stepmother Investment Company to sit for a while and see how the Japanese stock market opened in the afternoon.

Unexpectedly, Tang Qiang was so shameless that he wanted to go with them, which led to Chairman He, Chairman Guo and others also agreeing to go together.

Zhang Heping thought that his fund managers were all learning how to hedge risks recently and there was no big money to operate, so he simply brought Tang Qiang, Chairman He and others over.

At 11:12 in Hong Kong Island, : in Eastern Time, it is the afternoon stock market opening time.

Zhang Heping was using a computer in his office to check the dynamics of Japanese stocks, while Tang Qiang, Chairman He and others were outside observing the operations of the fund managers.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't even be able to get through the main door.

I have finally got here today, so I must learn something or ask something useful.

Unfortunately, whenever they wanted to ask something, the fund managers would point to the slogan on the wall:

Keep it secret! Keep it secret! Keep it secret!

Nothing within the company should be leaked to outsiders!

Only those who can keep a secret are worthy of receiving the bonus and becoming the best!

In the end, Chairman He, Mr. Rong from CITIC and others who could not understand how to operate a computer simply looked at the slogans and company rules on the wall.

Only Tang Qiang was standing between the two rows of workstations. He looked at the monitors of the fund managers on the left row, and then at the computer monitors on the right.

Judging from his frowning expression, he seemed to have figured out something.

Lunch is delivered from the group’s internal canteen.

Because the Japanese stock market opens in the afternoon, which is from 11:14 to : in the afternoon in Hong Kong Island, it is not easy for these fund managers to leave their workstations during the day.

Therefore, the internal cafeteria has an additional job of delivering meals.

When Chairman He and Chairman Guo were called into the general manager's office for dinner, they heard some fragmentary words about stocks from Zhang Heping's public answers to the fund manager's questions.

Just like now, Zhang Heping was eating steamed buns while opening an email from a fund manager.

Then, he turned on the thin microphone on the table and spoke to his fund manager through the speakers in the Stepmother Investment Company:

"A colleague asked me, the Japanese stocks I bought are still falling. If I sell them, can I make more money from stock index futures?"

"Such a simple question reflects a human weakness, the gambler's mentality!"

"I believe that many people have consciously or unconsciously thought about similar questions, wondering if they can make more money by doing this."

“Everyone should understand that stock hedging is a strategy to reduce investment risk by establishing opposite positions.”

“The purpose of establishing this strategy is to achieve stable returns through risk transfer rather than risk elimination.”

"Stability is the key word!"

During the time when Zhang Heping stopped to drink porridge, Chairman He and others found that the fund managers outside were taking notes on paper.

Then, Zhang Heping said: "The stock market is full of all kinds of human nature. If you want to gain profits, just remember one sentence: when others are crazy, I am afraid; when others are afraid, I am crazy."

"Remember this sentence, and you will basically not suffer big setbacks in the stock market!"

“But the probability of losing money is still very high!”

"Then the question is, if you work alone, or partner with a fund company, or go to other financial companies to lead a team, do you want to win more and lose less to earn uncertain returns, or do you want stable returns that grow every year?"

……

Zhang Heping did not directly answer the question in the email, but explained the significance of stock hedging from a side perspective.

After all, after dealing with this wave of Japanese stock market, he will have to conduct experiments and build equipment, and will have little time to pay attention to the fund manager's account operations.

Therefore, he needs these fund managers to achieve stable returns for him and his clients.

"A colleague asked, the Japanese stock market rebound was too weak this afternoon, does it mean that European and American funds are not in a hurry to cash out?"

"Team leader of group 3, after the market closes, lead the team members to re-learn the technical indicators on the Peace Financial Software. With such a high turnover rate, how can you not be anxious?"

Zhang Heping's voice rang out again, causing Chairman He, Chairman Guo and others who were sitting on the sofa to look at Zhang Heping behind the desk.

In the large office outside, after hearing Zhang Heping name Group 3, the people in other groups began to jokingly talk about the current Japanese stock trading volume, as well as the capital inflow and outflow data, and wanted to give Group 3 a direct lesson.

Fortunately, Zhang Heping did not specifically mention who raised the question, so the distracted fund manager was not criticized by team members.

It is precisely because of Zhang Heping's way of handling things without naming anyone that so many fund managers like to send emails to his email address.

By doing so, not only can you show your name in front of the big boss, but you can also get more accurate answers.

Of course, Zhang Heping does not reply to every email. For questions that are too simple, meaningless, or mentioned repeatedly, Zhang Heping simply skips them and pretends he didn't see them.

After Chairman He and Chairman Guo finished their lunch, they walked around the large office area outside and returned to the general manager's office to have a cup of tea. Before they knew it, it was 14 p.m. and the Japanese stock market closed.

"Okay, each group has done a good job today. Let's continue with small-scale practice. Don't worry about the rise and fall of Japanese stocks in the near future." After Zhang Heping finished speaking into the microphone, he logged out of the account permissions on the computer.

"Let's go! Everyone!" Zhang Heping stood up and greeted President He and others.

Zhongxin Rong stood up, walked a few steps quickly to Zhang Heping's side, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, the Japanese stock market has fluctuated today. Does it mean that the Japanese stock market has returned to normal?"

"How is that possible?" Zhang Heping said as he walked out. "The management problems of Japanese companies have not been solved, the trust crisis of Nippon Bank has not been resolved, and there are falling house and land prices, and the 500 trillion yen rescue funds randomly released by the Ministry of Finance have not been fulfilled."

"The key is, after the European and American funds that rushed to rescue the market withdrew from Japanese stocks, have you thought about the consequences?"

Zhongxin Rong Lao wants to say that those European and American funds may not necessarily withdraw, and they may also become shareholders of Japanese companies.

However, when he thought of Japan's recent unemployment rate, the amount of overdue loans, and the number of cases of bankruptcy and jumping from buildings, his reason told him that it was impossible for the European Magnesium funds to take on such a mess that would cost money but not benefit.

"Tang Qiang, delete the video on your phone!"

As soon as Zhang Heping finished speaking, the fund managers around Tang Qiang all stood up and stared at Tang Qiang with ill intentions.

The reason why these people reacted so strongly was because Tang Qiang's behavior triggered the confidentiality mechanism within the Stepmother Investment Company.

If Tang Qiang just walks out of Stepmother Investment Company like this, those fund managers whose computer monitors were recorded by Tang Qiang may not get the management bonus of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at the end of the year because of the leak!

When Zhang Heping walked to the gate, he frowned at the four bodyguards standing at the gate and said coldly, "Call your captain over!"

The two bodyguards who came with Zhang Heping saw this and secretly sighed that these four bodyguards were unlucky. With such a huge security lapse, they might have to be demoted to security guards!

The captain of the bodyguards on duty today jumped out from the stairs in less than a minute after hearing the call from the wireless intercom.

"I want to see your investigation report and handling opinions in my email within 10 minutes!" After saying this nonsense, Zhang Heping took President He and others into the elevator.

As soon as the big boss left, the bodyguard captain's face darkened. He looked at the four confused bodyguards at the door and asked coldly, "What's going on?"

Then, the bodyguard captain picked up the intercom and walked towards the Stepmother Investment Company while speaking to the person on duty in the monitoring room:

"Get me the videos before and after the boss came to Stepmom's investment company, and fast forward to see what went wrong."

"Captain, we don't know what's going on. As soon as the boss came out, he asked us to call you over." A young man replied, his mind full of confusion.

"Captain Qin, no need to ask!" The head of Stepmother Investment Company pointed at Tang Qiang, who was being supervised by a group of fund managers to delete videos and photos on his phone, and said:

"The boss brought someone outside into the company this afternoon, and the bodyguard on duty at the door did not search the person."

"Also, when Boss Tang was using his cell phone to make calls and secretly photographing information on his computer screen in the office, neither the bodyguard nor we stopped him."

"Ah...I have to write a report for this as well!"

Snapped! Snapped……

The bodyguard captain slapped his forehead speechlessly, secretly sighing that his men were useless at the critical moment.

However, thinking that he only had 10 minutes to write the report, the bodyguard captain named Qin became annoyed again.

"Are you four idiots?" Captain Qin turned to look at the four bodyguards standing stupidly at the door and shouted angrily, "The boss brought people here, but you didn't take the initiative to search outsiders. Do you want the boss to remind you to search?"
