307 and then 14.6 billion! Everything has been overwhelmed!(1/2)
I took my phone and found it was an unfamiliar phone number.
"Who?"
"The stranger actually has my phone number?"
"Selling?"
"Sales?"
His private phone was very secretive.
Connect.
"Mr. Wang, I heard that you Blackshirt Insurance plans to short HSBC Bank in Hong Kong?" There was a familiar voice on the phone.
"You are? Who?" Wang Guanxi suddenly couldn't remember.
"Sorry, Mr. Wang, I lost my phone and changed my new number." The man on the phone said: "I am Schreiber."
Wang Guanxi smiled and said, "I thought it was a real estate sales before, haha."
This is the Asian head of Aig, Brian Schreiber, who has always met.
When Blackshirt Insurance Company shorted Lehman Brothers' shares, she asked American International to borrow it. At that time, Brian Schreiber also came to the company in person.
After chatting for a few words, Brian Schreiber said: "Mr. Wang, our American International Group currently owns HSBC shares worth HK$8 billion. I wonder if you are still interested in borrowing?"
After being rescued by the US government by US$85 billion, the US International Group needs to save itself, while also preparing to repay the huge US government's debts and is currently selling various assets around the world.
Wang Guanxi couldn't help but ask curiously: "Don't you plan to clear HSBC's shares?"
Brian Schreiber smiled and said: "HSBC's dividend is very high, we have always held it for a long time, so we don't plan to clear HSBC's shares."
"When I heard that your Blackshirt Insurance Company was planning to borrow HSBC shares, I didn't want to clear HSBC shares. Do you want to borrow this stock worth HK$8 billion to short?"
Because the people from Blackshirt Group were borrowing HSBC's stocks everywhere to short HSBC, it just came to his ears, and they also happened to own HSBC's stocks.
These stocks were bought in 2000 at a purchase price of HK$80 per share, and they bought 64 million shares, which are currently worth HK$8 billion.
Over the years, their aig group has also received a lot of dividends.
Although Aig Group is short of money now and needs to save itself, they will not sell off the best and most core assets.
The stocks of HSBC are high-quality assets, so they will certainly not sell them. Especially when Blackshirt Insurance Company wants to short HSBC, he really wants to lend the stocks to Blackshirt Insurance Company so that he can get a lot of interest every month.
Wang Guanxi thought for a while and said, "Brian Schreiber, we plan to short for several months. If this interest is, what is the monthly interest of 1.2%?"
Currently, he has shorted Citibank and Wells Fargo. Now he has to short HSBC and Bank of America. The interest rate adds up to a scary one.
In particular, Blackshirt Hedge Fund is shorting the Hong League, Huang League, and Zheng League, and its companies have not yet closed their positions.
The interest rate is really high.
Moreover, Blackshirt Investment Bank also has a debt of US$200 million, owing loans from India's Varoda Bank, India's overseas banks, and India's United Bank.
The Indians were staring at each other.
There is also a loan from Yongheng Bank. During the battle with the Hong League, Huang Consortium and Zheng Consortium, he borrowed HK$6 billion. When he shorted Wells Fargo, he borrowed HK$26.4 billion, which is counted as HK$32.4 billion.
There are also shares of Dafu Financial Group, Dafu Securities, Aeon Credit Company, New World Development Group, Xinhe Real Estate Group, and Dafu Hotel Group, which have to pay interest every day.
Wang Guanxi can't count the interest, these huge interest expenses.
Brian Schreiber pondered that the monthly interest rate of 1.2%, which is also HK$96 million per month, which is not bad.
So he said, "Mr. Wang, this is absolutely fine."
"How about we have dinner together tonight and then sign the agreement?"
"Okay, no problem." Wang Guanxi nodded and agreed.
evening.
Wang Guanxi brought Huang Shaokai, Zhang Dexi, Wu Zhankun and several lawyers to the Hong Kong Peninsula Hotel and Jidishi Restaurant.
Jidishi specializes in French cuisine. Decades have passed. Although competition among restaurants is becoming increasingly fierce, Jidishi is still regarded as a food landmark and its style remains the same as that of that time.
The restaurant has a nightly accompaniment of the resident band, where you can listen to the old-fashioned music played by the band, enjoy authentic French food or dance with light singing. This Jidishi restaurant is one of the few restaurants that can truly make people feel like they are in the past.
“I haven’t eaten French food for a long time”
"One day, Huangyue Hotel, Huada Hotel specializes in a French restaurant!"
"Let's go, go in"
Soon everyone met the head of Aig Group Asia Asia Pacific.
Tonight, Brian Schreiber was wearing a rigorous formal attire, a blue tie, and two middle-aged men.
They are the chief financial officer of AIA and vice president John Barry Harrison, referred to as Harrison.
Garth Jones, director of property, is also vice president of Garth Jones.
Both of them were accompanying Brian Schreiber tonight.
AIA and AIA are both wholly-owned subsidiaries of American International Group and one of the largest insurance companies in Asia.
Aig Group holds shares of HSBC through two subsidiaries, AIA and Meiya Insurance.
Harrison and Garth Jones also signed an agreement tonight, so I will meet the people from the Blackshirt Group.
Although this Blackshirt Insurance Company, a subsidiary of Blackshirt Group, is a small and medium-sized insurance company in the insurance industry, it has a very big reputation and is very popular.
This Black Shirt Insurance specializes in shorting the listed company and also shorted the AIA Insurance and Meiya Insurance's parent company Aig Group, which won a lot of benefits.
This made Brian Schreiber, Harrison and Garth Jones highly respected and admired.
It’s not what they hate when Blackshirt Insurance Company shorted Aig Group, but the owner of Blackshirt Insurance Company is extremely courageous and has a very accurate judgment. Before Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, they shorted Aig Group.
"Mr. Wang, good evening, please sit down!" Brian Schreber stood up and moved his stool as Wang Guanxi.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am John Barry Harrison, you can call me Harrison." Harrison was honored.
At this moment, he was even more shocked. The legendary owner of the Black Shirt Group was actually a boy about 17 years old, which was simply incredible.
"Hello, Mr. Wang, I am Garth Jones, Vice President of Meiya Insurance, and I'm very happy to see you." Garth Jones's face couldn't help but be shocked.
"Hello, I am the boss of the Black Shirt Group!" Wang Guanxi and others greeted him and took their seats.
"We're having dinner now, and we're talking while eating"
"Just as I want."
The dinner was very rich, pan-fried foie gras with apples, light lobster curry, white truffle pasta, beef, fresh oysters, stewed olive dish, horseradish crispy noodles, and French champagne Krug.
The white truffle pasta and light lobster curry are both loved by Wang Guanxi. Then he said to Zhang Dexi, the chairman of Blackshirt Hotel Group: "Old Zhang, remember to go back and take the Huangyue Hotel under Blackshirt Hotel Group. Huada Hotel specializes in these French dishes."
"Yes, boss" Zhang Dexi nodded quickly.
At this time, Brian Schreiber smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, it turns out that Huada Hotel Group and Panhai Hotel Group are all industries under your Blackshirt Group. Last time I was dining in the restaurant of Huangyue Hotel, where can I eat very good Cantonese cuisine?"
"Haha, if you like it, go often"
Then we talked about the financial crisis that broke out in the United States.
Talk about Lehman Brothers, Washington Mutual Bank, aig Group, American Bank, Wells Fargo, Citibank...
American International Group suffered heavy losses after the financial crisis. Now Aig Group's stock price has fallen to US$20, which is simply a terrible sight.
If the US government had not borrowed $85 billion, Aig Group would have gone bankrupt after Lehman Brothers went bankrupt.
Currently, American International Group is selling assets everywhere, and will even sell AIA in the future.
There is also a majority of the equity of a bank under the United States International Group. This bank is called Huntington Bank, which is a small and medium-sized bank in the United States. Wang Guanxi is very interested in this.
Then he asked, "Brian Schreiber, are you interested in selling most of the shares in Huntington Bank?"
American International Group owns an absolute controlling stake in Huntington Bank. Wang Guanxi wants to buy it to facilitate the future layout of the American consortium.
Brian Schreiber smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, I'm sorry, we don't intend to sell the equity of Huntington Bank."
"Oh well"
Then we talked about HSBC Bank in Hong Kong.
Brian Schreiber, Harrison and Garth Jones are very bad for Blackshirt Insurance Company to short HSBC Hong Kong.
Of course, black shirt insurance companies should be better off shorting for more than half a year before closing their positions. In that case, their aig group will get more interest.
"Mr. Wang, let's sign the agreement"
Brian Schreiber is now afraid that Wang Guanxi will return.
Wang Guanxi also happily signed an agreement with Brian Schreiber.
Blackshirt Insurance Company borrowed 64 million HSBC shares this time, worth HK$8 billion, and the monthly interest was HK$96 million.
“Happy cooperation!”
"Happy cooperation with Mr. Wang"
The two shook hands.
Suddenly a sound came.
