My Age of Investment

After a night of lovemaking, Ivanka embarked on her way home alone with her full harvest.

It was convenient for her to return to the United States because Xia Jingxing gave her a private jet two years ago, which she then rented to Vision Home Company. As a means of transportation for senior executives, the company naturally bears all personnel costs, maintenance, downtime costs and even leasing costs. Not to mention using the plane for free, there are still tens of millions of dollars in rent for her to use as pocket money every year. .

Ivanka, who had not slept well all night, was mentally exhausted, and had a sore waist and weak legs, started to catch up on her sleep as soon as she got on the plane.

On the other side, Xia Jingxing, who felt his body was hollowed out, was still sleeping soundly, not even knowing that Ivanka was gone.

At noon, Xia Jingxing, who was still lying in bed recuperating, was woken up by the rapid ringing of the phone one after another.

Sleepily, he stretched out an arm from the bed, touched the cell phone on the bedside table, and answered the call.

"What? There was a natural disaster in my childhood?"

Hearing Liu Xiaoduo's anxious voice on the other end of the phone, Xia Jingxing suddenly woke up and hung up the phone after a few brief explanations.

After spending half a minute getting dressed and a few minutes simply washing up, Xia Jingxing hurriedly went downstairs and quickly got into a car that Zhang Chenguang and Liu Xiaoduo had arranged.

Xia Jingxing was not idle on the way. He made five or six phone calls in a row and made some emergency arrangements.

Soon, the car arrived at the Raffles Place financial district with many buildings.

The Singapore office of Envision Capital is located here. It is also an old neighbor of investment banks and commercial banks such as Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Standard Chartered, and Citigroup, which have branches in several surrounding buildings. It is also convenient for daily blending business. .

When Xia Jingxing got off the bus and took the elevator to the 49th floor of Tower 1, Raffles Place, the tallest building in Singapore, all the employees in the office on the entire floor had finished their lunch break and entered an extremely busy working state.

Everyone was so busy, either checking the market or making phone calls, that even the big boss didn't notice that the boss came to the company.

After Xia Jingxing glanced casually for a few times, he left with satisfaction and entered a conference room.

"My little life has been tragic this time. The Japan Meteorological Agency has initially determined that it was a 7.9-magnitude earthquake! At a glance, it is devastated and ruins are everywhere."

"It's not just the earthquake. The Meteorological Agency has issued an emergency tsunami warning. I don't know how many people will be affected this time."

"You have all overlooked one point. The Fukushima industrial zone where the nuclear power plant is located is also a disaster-stricken area. Now the whole world is staring at Japan, worried that "Asia's Chernobyl" will break out."

"Damn it, nuclear radiation won't affect Singapore, right?"

"Maybe... maybe... not. It's hard to say. I heard that people in mainland China have started to collect salt."

"What's the purpose of collecting salt? Can it protect against radiation?"

"I heard that seawater pollution will cause salt production to be reduced or stopped."

"The sea is so wide, isn't it?"

…

A group of Singaporean executives were busy discussing the earthquake and its subsequent effects, and they didn't even notice Xia Jingxing entering the house.

When they turned around and saw Xia Jingxing already standing at the door, they were all stunned and their expressions became a little embarrassed.

However, Xia Jingxing did not criticize them for not doing their job properly. Instead, he quickly walked to the screen and carefully looked at the "post-earthquake ruins map" for a few times before saying, "The discussion was so lively, but none of them got to the point."

Having said this, Xia Jingxing quickly turned around and looked at the group of executives with sharp eyes, "Check the market conditions of the Tokyo Stock Exchange immediately."

After receiving the order, a group of people immediately started to take action.

Soon, a large amount of financial data was gathered in front of Xia Jingxing.

The Nikkei 225 index fell 1.72% to 10254.43 points;

The Shanghai Composite Index fell 0.79%;

London's FTSE 100 index fell 0.28%;

Paris CAC40 index fell 0.89%;

Frankfurt's DAX index fell 1.16%;

…

Putting down the report in his hand, Xia Jingxing frowned slightly. It was abnormal for the index to drop so much.

Especially the Japanese stock market, it didn’t collapse...

He soon found the reason. The Tokyo Stock Exchange closed at 3 p.m. local time, which was just fourteen minutes after the earthquake. Due to the information transmission and the impact and losses of the earthquake that have yet to be assessed, most investors still Failure to respond in time…

After a while, Liu Xiaoduo walked into the office and informed Xia Jingxing to hold a video conference.

As soon as the video conferencing system was connected, Ye Shuhui was the first to report on the financial trends of the Hong Kong office.

"All the US$5 billion of special funds were used to short Japanese stocks and indices. I suffered a lot of losses some time ago. Fortunately, I didn't choose to stop the losses. The wait is finally here..."

Ye Shuhui's eyes on the video screen were a little complicated, because she didn't know what to say at the moment.

Who could have expected that such a big thing would happen in such a small life?

Xia Jingxing had ordered her to spend 60% of the Hong Kong office's funds to short Japan a few months ago.

Her performance is at the bottom of the company, and her Hong Kong team has the least amount of funds under management. Naturally, she has no say. She can do whatever her boss tells her to do.

As a result, it suffered a big fall not long after entering the market. Some time ago, the highest floating loss once exceeded 2 billion US dollars, and it almost couldn't withstand it.

Affected by the global economic recovery in recent times, the fundamentals of the Japanese economy have also been improving. Under this situation, the shorted Nikkei 225 Index and some individual stocks have rebounded and risen strongly.

Therefore, Ye Shuhui really doesn't understand what her boss is doing. She even shorts some stocks, even the index. Isn't this very optimistic about Japan's economy?

Since Xia Jingxing didn't explain too much to her, she had repeatedly persuaded Xia Jingxing to stop the loss some time ago.

Xia Jingxing naturally didn't listen. After all, he knew that big things would happen in his small life.

But because he couldn't remember the specific time of the earthquake, he only arranged for Ye Shuhui's team to short Japan.

After a brief report on her work, Ye Shuhui said no more. She sat in her office in Central, Hong Kong and quietly looked at Xia Jingxing on the screen, as if she wanted to find out some "inside story" from his face.

She didn't quite believe that her boss could predict an earthquake in Japan, and speculated that there might be secret information that she didn't know.

It was impossible for Xia Jingxing to explain this matter, and there was no need to explain it. After looking at Ye Shuhui indifferently, he asked Jiang Ping to report on the work.

"Due to the sudden incident, part of our team's funds were invested in the European market, and part was in other currency trading markets. There was no time to transfer them, so we only had time to buy 500 million U.S. dollars worth of Japanese yen. Converted to a specific number of Japanese yen, it was about 41.5 billion. .”

"According to common sense, if such a catastrophic event occurs in Japan and the economy suffers heavy losses, the yen will depreciate."

"But Japan is a special country. Earthquakes, tsunamis and other natural disasters occur frequently. Everyone is used to it. As long as the island does not sink, it will not take long to rebuild after the disaster, and the economy and market confidence will gradually recover."

"Our team referred to a real-life case. After the Great Hanshin Earthquake in 1995, the Japanese government, insurance companies and residents redeemed overseas assets in large quantities to meet the financial needs for post-disaster reconstruction."

"International investors at that time were also aware of Japan's hidden overseas strength, so they generally expected that the return of large amounts of overseas funds would cause the yen to appreciate, so they were aggressively long the yen."

…

Xia Jingxing nodded lightly. Jiang Ping did not make a mistake. He was indeed living a good life in his small life. Even if such a big disaster happened, as long as he got some money back from overseas, the yen would not plummet. Even in international capital, Under the control, currency appreciation will also occur.

Then, Li Yaozu and Zhao Peng also reported on the capital trends of their respective teams.

The two teams were not slow in their actions, investing US$750 million and US$700 million in the Japanese stock market and foreign exchange market respectively.

Counting Ye Shuhui and Jiang Ping, the four trading teams of Envision Capital have already given Xiaori a gift package worth US$7 billion.

Seeing that the four people had handled the earthquake properly, Xia Jingxing did not give too many instructions, but simply explained a few points.

"It is estimated that the Bank of Japan will soon launch a new round of quantitative easing monetary policy. After all, if the exchange rate rises too high, it will affect the normal export of Japanese goods."

"The stock market may be volatile for a little longer, but it won't last too long."

"In addition, a large amount of international speculative capital will go to Japan to join in the fun, so the operating time left for us is very limited. Everyone should seize the opportunity, make a profit and withdraw, and don't be a backer for others."

Having said this, Xia Jingxing thought for a while and added a few more words: "Last time Envision Capital hunted the global capital market, it only missed Japan.

This time we must not miss it no matter what, we must fill in the missing piece of territory. "

This reason... was a bit strong, and the four people had different reactions after hearing it.

For example, Jiang Ping and Zhao Peng were very excited after hearing this, because they both came from the mainland and naturally didn’t have a good impression of Xiaoli. If they could give Xiaoli a hard time, they would gain more than just money and material benefits. Pleasure, and a kind of spiritual pleasure, which can be called double happiness!

Li Yaozu and Ye Shuhui grew up in Hong Kong Island. Their education there... can only be described as hard to describe, and they didn't have that kind of strong hostility engraved in their bones towards their childhood.

Ye Shuhui always feels that her boss didn't tell the truth and asked her to lurk in Japan months in advance. Is it just to get revenge on Japan and add another shining big short medal to Vision Capital?

The more she thought about it, the more complex and unfathomable the matter became, so she simply stopped thinking about it. If she had the time, she might as well analyze the market dynamics and find out more about Japan's economic losses so that she could adjust her trading strategy in a timely manner.
