Rebirth of the Financial Crisis Sweeping the World

Chapter 389 389 No matter the cost! Hot discussion!

Then Wang Guanxi answered the phone and asked: Ratan Tata, what's the matter?

Ratan Tata said on the phone: I heard that you are planning to short Citibank?

Yes, what's wrong? Wang Guanxi asked, You want to stop me? Just come!

No, no, no, I won't stop you, Ratan Tata said.

Wang Guanxi asked; Then why did you call me?

Ratan Tata said on the phone: Of course it's a good thing.

Wang Guanxi asked: What good thing? Are you in Hong Kong now?

Does Tata Tata still want to borrow Citibank shares?

Probably not.

Tonight Wang Guanxi wants to short Citibank, facing the stock god of the Persian Gulf, Saudi Prince Alwad.

There are also two companies, Public Bank of Malaysia and Bank of Central Asia in Indonesia, that want to fish in troubled waters.

Wang Guanxi had to think of a good strategy to short Citibank, and now he didn’t want to waste time with Ratan Tata.

If you have something to say, I'm busy.

At this time, Ratan Tata said on the phone: I am in the Middle East, discussing oil business with the Saudi prince. Let me tell you some bad news first.

That's exactly what he said.

This Ratan Tata had already gone to the Middle East to discuss oil business. Before leaving, he snatched away a major customer of a semiconductor company in the high-tech industry chain that was given to Wang Guanxi.

Wang Guanxi said calmly: You called me to tell me about this? What is this?

Ratan Tata smiles: “There’s another good news”

Say! Wang Guanxi sat gently on the sofa chair and motioned to Luo Baowen beside him to pour tea.

The good things Ratan Tata said were definitely not good things.

At this time, Ratan Tata said: Prince of Saudi Arabia, His Highness Alwad, I heard that your Black Shirt Group plans to short-sell Citibank, and specially lent you 20 million shares to short-sell. Do you dare?

Originally, his friend Prince Alwad planned to increase his holdings in Citibank, but at his suggestion, he came to block Wang Guanxi.

He also lent 20 million shares of Citibank shares to Wang Guanxi for short selling.

Ratan Tata acted as the middleman.

Wang Guanxi asked: 20 million shares are worth US$1.4 billion. I don't have that much money anymore.

I still have US$700 million in funds left, which is only enough to borrow 10 million shares. Of course, if you borrow 20 million shares, I will be happy to accept it.

At present, Wang Guanxi has borrowed 40 million shares, worth US$2.8 billion.

It turns out that of the US$3.465 billion, US$2.8 billion in security deposits have been spent, leaving US$665 million.

Ratan Tata said: This won't work. To borrow 20 million shares worth 1.4 billion, you have to come up with 1.4 billion US dollars!

But don't you hold 15% of the shares of Tengxun Group?

All of them are mortgaged. By the way, all the equity of the high-tech companies you invest in mainland China are also mortgaged!

dare?

Wang Guanxi suddenly fell into deep thought after listening to Ratan Tata's words.

Damn it, Ratan Tata simply wants to take away his own high-tech industrial chain and the equity of Teng Xun Group.

It is quite dangerous to short Citibank this time. It would be really fun if the position is liquidated.

The hard-worked high-tech industrial chain and future global supply chain plans will all come to nothing.

If Tengxun Group's share price was taken away, the loss would be even worse.

Wang Guanxi sneered and asked: Are you interested in the semiconductor company I invested in?

Ratan Tata said bluntly: I later found out that several of the semiconductor companies you invested in had the patented technologies we needed, so naturally I took a fancy to them.

As for the shares in Tengxun Group, Prince Alwad is very interested.

Wang Guanxi said: My semiconductor company will be exempted and I will pledge the equity of Tengxun Group to you.

Ratan Tata said firmly: No, all the equity of the semiconductor company must be mortgaged.

Wang Guanxi, aren't you a coward?

I thought you were fearless.

If you can't afford it, forget it. Treat these 20 million shares as if I didn't tell you anything.

Wang Guanxi immediately said: Are you so confident?

Ratan Tata: How can you survive internationally if you are not confident?

In a word, do you have the guts to play?

Wang Guanxi: Okay, just play and let me see what you are capable of.

Ratan Tata said happily: Okay, we will immediately arrange a special team of lawyers to go to your Black Shirt Center!

By the way, I said that I, Ratan Tata, will take care of you sooner or later, and I am on my way to take care of you now.

Hey, just wait.

Then just wait

After ending the call, Wang Guanxi stood up from the boss's chair and looked at Victoria Harbor in the distance.

This time shorting Citibank made him feel pressured and threatened.

Persian Gulf Buffett, Saudi Prince, Alwad!

This is no simple master.

If the short selling fails this time and is blown up, he will suffer heavy losses and his layout will be disrupted.

There can't be any carelessness in this battle.

A strategy must be thought of.

At this time, Luo Baowen and Luo came over and asked: BOSS, did you really mortgage Tengxun Group and the entire high-tech industry chain you invested in to them?

Tengxun Group is China's Internet giant, and its market value will become higher and higher in the future.

As for the high-tech industry chain, Wang Guanxi has spent a lot of time laying out the plan to create a global supply chain in the future and lead the advancement of national semiconductor technology.

It's all mortgaged now, and it would be terrible if the short bet against Citibank failed.

BOSS, aren't you worried that this short sale will fail?

People cannot always be victorious in every battle. If you fail once, you may suffer unimaginable losses.

She feels that the risk of shorting Citibank this time is very, very high.

At this time, Wang Guanxi said confidently: There is nothing to worry about. There are risks in everything you do. I like to make high-risk investments.

Luo Baowen was stunned. Looking at the confident Wang Guanxi, she suddenly became nervous.

Soon Ratan Tata and the acting legal attachés of Saudi Prince Alwad came to the Black Shirt Center and signed the agreement.

Wang Guanxi mortgaged all the equity of Tengxun Group and the semiconductor company he invested in to Alwad and Ratan Tata.

In this way, he obtained another 20 million shares of Citibank stock.

There are a total of 60 million shares, worth US$4.2 billion, and the monthly interest is US$63 million, which works out to an interest of HK$488 million.

Oh my God, such high interest rates.

Luo Baowen couldn't even imagine it.

“BOSS, isn’t the interest rate too high?”

In fact, she didn't know that Wang Guanxi was shorting not only Citibank, but also Wells Fargo, Bank of America Corporation, and HSBC Hong Kong. The combined interest would be terrifying.

Wang Guanxi said calmly: This time I shorted Citibank, the monthly interest is less than 500 million Hong Kong dollars, it's nothing.

If you make a billion dollars or two billion dollars, the interest will be negligible.

No matter the cost, just for greater victory!

Luo Baowen looked at Wang Guanxi who was so calm and composed, and couldn't help but admire her in her heart, and her eyes became filled with admiration.

Looking at Luo Baowen's adoring eyes, Wang Guanxi raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, Secretary Luo, let's just relax tonight.

Relax? Luo Baowen looked confused.

Well, relax, Wang Guanxi said with a smile, We are in the bathroom.

I have a gynecological disease, you'd better find someone else. Luo Baowen couldn't help but think of Jennifer Huntington, Jennifer Lawrence and her daughter.

In particular, Wang Guanxi said that Jennifer Lawrence had a better figure than her, which made her very depressed.

Wang Guanxi chuckled and blew hot air into Luo Baowen's ear.

Luo Baowen felt a little cold.

It was like a tingling electric current flowing through her body.

Luo Baowen, is this effective in treating gynecological diseases?

No said Luo Baowen and left in a hurry.

Ah haha! Then Wang Guanxi came to the trading room and discussed with everyone the next strategy of shorting Citibank.

This time it’s not just ‘Buffett’ Alwad who faces the Persian Gulf!

There are also Public Bank of Malaysia and Bank Central Asia of Indonesia, these two guys want to fish in troubled waters.

Huang Shaokai said with a solemn expression: BOSS, this Alwad in the Persian Gulf still has some abilities.

Zhang Dexi also said: He is known as the stock god of the Persian Gulf. Coupled with the financial resources of the Saudi royal family, we must be very careful this time.

Wang Guanxi nodded: We need to think of a specific strategy this time, and we can't rush short, otherwise the funds will be easily trapped.

Wu Zhankun: BOSS, is it possible that the Saudi prince will mobilize US$4 billion to increase his holdings?

Wang Guanxi: I don't know. Saudi Arabia has very strong financial resources. Maybe it can mobilize US$4.5 billion in funds.

Wang Juehao: Alwad shouldn't know that we also borrowed 18 million shares from American International Group and Mosaic Group, right?

Bai Weiqiang: Maybe Alwad doesn't care how much we sell, he just increases his holdings.

Wang Guanxi thought for a while and said: This time there are also Zheng Yufei from Public Bank of Malaysia and Huang Fengling from Bank of Central Asia in Indonesia, waiting to fish in troubled waters. We cannot take it lightly.

Then everyone began to discuss specific selling strategies and specific short selling positions.

··

At this moment, the Middle East, Saudi Arabia.

Ratan Tata said excitedly: Alwad, it's done. This time you just need to defeat the Black Shirt Group and break their capital chain. The shares of Tengxun Group will be yours.

This time, he didn't expect that Wang Guanxi would actually mortgage the Tengxun Group and invest in the semiconductor company's equity. This was simply great. He liked Wang Guanxi above all else. This gambler would die sooner or later.

Alwad smiled and said: I hope so, I am very interested in the shares of China's technology giants.

Ratan Tata said with a smile: I am very interested in the high-tech industrial chain. Wang Guanxi's plan to build an Asian supply chain and compete with our Indian technology companies is simply a wishful thinking. It is best to defeat this guy this time. of

Alwad said confidently: Don't worry, I have prepared a lot of funds to increase my holdings in Citibank, which will make him suffer.

Ratan Tata thought for a while and said, Are you really that optimistic about Citibank's future stocks?

Alwad nodded: Citibank will not go bankrupt, let alone split up. It is one of the largest banks in the world and will definitely get out of trouble in the future. Others are not optimistic about Citibank, but I am optimistic about it.

Then Alwad's investment company Kingdom Holdings issued a statement saying that Alwad believed that Citigroup's stock price was seriously undervalued and therefore decided to increase its stake.

You must know that Alwad was once hailed as the Warren Buffett of the Persian Gulf by the American Time magazine. Over the years, he has become one of the top richest people in the world with his investment vision.

In fact, as early as 1991, Prince Alwaleed began investing in the predecessor of Citigroup. After years of stock splits, acquisitions, and split adjustments, Prince Alwaleed invested in Citigroup at the equivalent of $24 per share.

Even today, Citibank's stock price has fallen to shit, Citibank's stock price is still close to three times Alvarid's original cost.

In 2005, Alwaleed told the British newspaper The Independent that he would never sell the asset.

That's Citigroup, News Corp. and Four Seasons Hotels.

Like Buffett, Prince Alwaleed also made his fortune by investing in undervalued brand companies.

His investment portfolio includes Apple, News Corp. and Time Warner, and he is now the world's richest man.

He usually spends a lot of money, and his palace in Riyadh has a total of 317 rooms and costs US$100 million.

He was also the first private customer to purchase the A380, the world's largest aircraft.

Alwaleed is the nephew of the late King of Saudi Arabia. Among the more than 2,000 princes in Saudi Arabia, he stands out because he knows how to make money.

In more than ten years, he turned an inheritance of less than $1 million into a fortune of billions of dollars, mostly through real estate investments.

Alvard officially announced that he will increase his holdings in Citibank, which undoubtedly adds momentum to the bulls on Citibank stock!

It's like being on steroids!

Holy shit, shit! The news that Buffett increased his holdings in Citibank in the Persian Gulf is true.

It is rumored that he will spend US$3 billion to increase his holdings in Citibank

Isn't it more than $3 billion?

It must be over $4 billion!

Keep buying Citibank stock tonight

“I’m going to make money this time.”

Come and buy Citibank at the bottom!

···

And the black shirt center.

Wang Guanxi and others have already thought of a good short-selling strategy.

Wang Guanxi ordered: Let the news about shorting Citibank go out and let them know that our Black Shirt Group wants to short Citibank!

It's BOSS Everyone hurriedly went to do it.

Then Blackshirt Group issued a bearish report on Citibank, while also refuting the views of Buffett's companies in the Persian Gulf.

Although it was just to refute the views of his companies, it was undoubtedly a slap in Alwad’s face.

The market was shocked.

Damn it, what kind of trouble is this?

“Didn’t this black-shirted investment bank say it was bullish on Citibank before?”

Yeah, why are you now bearish on Citibank?

What on earth is this playing for? I can't understand.

··

A report from Blackshirt Investment Bank also came out, pointing out various problems with Citibank. The stock price will continue to plummet in the future, and the financial crisis will intensify.

Again sparked heated discussion.

Damn it, that makes sense. Let's just wait and see and don't buy it.

I'm so numb. This report from Black Shirt Investment Bank is like a wave of cold water. It made me sober up a lot.

I feel very right!

Yes, tonight the Black Shirt Group will liquidate the Citibank shares it purchased earlier!

“It’s going to plummet now.”

“I don’t know if Prince Alwad will increase his holdings tonight.”

I'm confused!

··

Soros Quantum Fund, Soros also looked confused, What is this black-shirted investment bank thinking? Is it going to short Citibank?

Feld Group, Feld's face was gloomy: This black shirt group used to buy the bottom, but now it is short on Citibank?

“Is it short or long?”

Soros and Feld were blocked by the Black Shirt Group for shorting Citibank and lost a lot of money.

Feeling bad about this.

··

At 9:30 p.m., the U.S. stock market officially opened.

Wang Guanxi shouted: Action!

Yes, BOSS
