Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

   Chapter 316 Great Harvest

  May 10th

   ten o'clock in the morning

  When the election results were announced, Mitterrand was excited in front of the Elysee Palace and couldn't help singing the "Internationale".

   At the same time, with the live broadcast of the French TV media, a thunderous explosion exploded directly above the head of the French stock market.

   In just ten minutes, the stocks of all major French stock exchanges and listed companies fell across the board, such as the flooding of the flood, which could not be stopped.

  Although everyone has been prepared, the decline in the stock market still caught everyone off guard.

   Seeing that the entire stock market was falling across the board, Yang Chen and several traders who came from Xiangjiang couldn't help but show excitement on their faces.

   As for several French traders, they don’t know if they should laugh or not.

   Fortunately, the wave of decline in France is only temporary, and the reason why it has fallen so fast now is nothing more than the distrust of investors in Mitterrand.

  Although this will bring huge losses to major French listed companies, it will not cause a devastating blow, at most it will hurt the bones.

   This time, there is no so-called cutting leek in the French stock market. It is all a confrontation between predators and predators, and then there are the big crocodiles working together to cut the meat of major French listed companies.

  Other small investors left the market as early as the beginning. No one was stupid. The big crocodiles fought. When they moved in with a small shrimp, they would definitely be swallowed and not even the **** was left.

   In just one and a half hours, the CAC40 plummeted by 7%, and the speed was astounding. The stock price of the entire Paris Stock Exchange was like Waterloo, and it has been falling madly.

   Seeing the stock price of CAC40 plummeting, Yang Chen was extremely happy. There were still a few hours left, enough for the other party to drop by 20%.

   In the previous life, when Mitterrand was elected president, the CAC40 index immediately fell by more than 20%. As the wind vane of the French stock market, the CAC40 fell, driving the entire French stock market to fall.

   For this kind of stock market turmoil caused by confidence issues, it is impossible for all parties in France to remain indifferent.

   Therefore, Yang Chen chose to vote and ran away immediately.

  Otherwise, once you get stuck, you won't be able to run if you want to, you can just eat the meat, you don't need to take the bones together.

   During lunch, Yang Chen couldn't help eating two more bowls of rice because he was happy.

   Laura, who had been by his side all the time, seemed a little absent-minded and didn't even eat a few bites of food.

   She didn't know if it was a woman's sixth sense, or what, she felt that Yang Chen would soon leave Paris.

   In the past few days, her relationship with Yang Chen has not progressed much. Since returning from Chinatown one day, Yang Chen has never left the hotel except arriving at the bank on time every day.

   has been learning French in the room. Taking advantage of the opportunity to learn French, Laura has seen what a language genius is.

   Yang Chen's amazing language talent made Laura an authentic Parisian Frenchman. If she didn't look at the other party's skin color, it would be hard to tell that the other party was only able to speak a few simple words a few days ago.

   One o'clock at noon

   The Paris Stock Exchange opened on time, and the stock market fell all the way. The Paris Stock Exchange did not make any moves to suspend the market, but allowed the stock price to continue to fall.

   At this time, any action is futile. Instead of causing a bigger drop after the market is suspended, it is better to release this wave of torrents.

   At 2:30 in the afternoon, the CAC40 index had fallen by more than 20%, and the downward trend was not as obvious as before.

   began to gradually weaken.

   Without any hesitation, in the last half hour, Yang Chen chose to close his position.

   In the face of Yang Chen's instructions, everyone was somewhat surprised, and they didn't understand why Yang Chen didn't wait for two more days. According to the current downward trend, in the next few days, only pay attention, there is still a certain profit margin.

   In this regard, Yang Chen did not explain much.

   As a later generation, Yang Chen knows very well how powerful the old man who was elected president is.

   The stock market plummets, and it will definitely attract the attention of the other party. If the old man fails to be elected president, the stock market will fall or not, it has nothing to do with him.

   However, the stock market's fall now is caused by investors' lack of confidence in him, so he has to stand up.

   Now that he quits, he can leave calmly. Once an old man makes a move, it is hard to say what will happen in the end.

   Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters.

  Yang Chen decided to close the position. If anyone else had anything to say, they could only swallow it back.

   In the last ten minutes, all the transactions were over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Finally, a few Xiangjiang traders calculated the final gains, and everyone else left the trading room consciously.

   Next, it's time to sit in rows and divide the fruit. With such a big harvest, Yang Chen naturally can't lose them.

  …

  Standard Chartered Bank

  The Office of Bill, Paris Branch Manager

   Looking at the report in his hand, Bill swallowed, unable to believe his eyes.

   This time, Yang Chen's harvest in the Paris stock market, excluding various taxes, has already reached one billion US dollars.

   In the middle, the other party only spent a few days.

   In this regard, Bill admired in addition to admiration.

  Everyone knows that this time the French presidential election is a rare opportunity.

   But there are not many people who dare to end up.

   and the end, it is even rarer to bet on such a big person.

  300 million US dollars, leveraging 20 times the leverage, once Mitterrand fails to enter the Elysee Palace, the consequences can be imagined.

   This is completely a five-to-five bet, the winner will eat meat, and the loser will go bankrupt.

   Now the winner is sitting casually drinking tea in front of him. Bill wiped his forehead, sweating at some point.

   said with a dry smile: "Mr. Yang, what can I do for you?"

   He is only the head of a branch in a region. There are many people like him in Standard Chartered Bank, but he does not dare to offend a big customer like Yang Chen.

  In the capital society, whoever has money is the uncle. As a customer of Standard Chartered, Yang Chen, in the words of some companies, is God.

  Yang Chen smiled faintly: "I want to trouble Mr. Bill and help me transfer some money to HSBC."

  "Uh" Hearing this, Bill was stunned for a moment, then without any hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Yang, I'll handle it for you."

   Yang Chen was talking about transferring a sum of money to HSBC, not transferring all the funds harvested this time to HSBC.

   In this regard, Bill naturally has no reason to refuse, nor can he refuse.

  Although Standard Chartered and HSBC are in a competitive relationship, this does not mean that the two banks are not cooperating.

   It was handled by President Bill himself. The transfer procedure didn't make Yang Chen wait long, but it would take a day for the funds to arrive.
