Chapter 1437: Three more weeks at most!

The reason why so many people were able to unite and act together.

In the end, it was because the pie Jacob Rothschild had painted was attractive enough.

They are already scrambling to eat the pie, but they have not stuffed their mouths yet, nor have they swallowed it into their stomachs, and there is still a risk of vomiting it all up.

Jacob Rothschild can understand the choice of the crowd.

And to be honest, up to this point, it has taken more than two months to borrow HK$51.34 billion worth of shares, and now only 44.3% have been sold, less than half.

Jacob Rothschild is also reluctant to launch the offensive so hastily.

After all, if all the remaining borrowed shares are successfully sold, the offensive can be finally completed, which means an additional profit of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which is no small amount!

Therefore.

Even though he was under extreme pressure,

Jacob Rothschild still complied with everyone's choice.

'Okay, I understand what everyone means.'

'We will slow down the plan.'

'However, we must understand that the longer we wait, the more time our prey will have to prepare, and the greater the risk we will bear, and the lower the possibility of success will be.'

'So I hope everyone can come to a unified opinion and set a specific time. At that point in time, regardless of whether we have successfully cashed out the shares or not, the plan will be activated.'

'What do you think?'

Jacob Rothschild finished, his gaze sweeping over the faces of the group.

The group looked at each other, and after Terence Warburg took the lead, they nodded in agreement.

'I agree!'

'I have no objections!'

'Jacob is right, I second the motion!'

'...'

Jacob Rothschild's face broke into a smile, and after taking a sip of coffee, he said again, 'Okay, then we now need to determine a specific time.'

'How long do you think we should wait?'

'A month! After all, we still have more than 140 billion Hong Kong dollars' worth of shares that we haven't yet sold. The Hong Kong stock market is currently very popular, but the average daily trading volume is only about 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, which is only about 300 billion Hong Kong dollars after a month of trading.

'Our volume should account for about half of this trading volume, but we haven't yet reached this clearing ratio, so a month is still relatively tight for us.'

'But a period longer than a month is too long. If we all work hard, we can find a way to offload the goods outside the market. A month should be enough,' said Xize Holbert.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately retorted, 'A month is too long. Now that we have made it so obvious that we are manipulating the media to hype up Hong Kong stocks, it will be difficult for us to maintain this heat for a month.'

'Let's not forget that our prey is known as the king of media, and he is no worse than any of us here at manipulating public opinion,'

'And with his sharpness, it is impossible for him not to notice the difference. But this week, his media has not taken a clear stance, which is the biggest anomaly!'

'A month's time will give him plenty of time to prepare, and we may be taking a big risk.'

'Based on the above analysis, I think half a month is most appropriate.'

'I think we should try to find ways to sell shares outside the market as much as possible. This way, the shares can be sold more quickly, relatively secretly, and it is not easy to cause fluctuations in the stock price in the market.'

Another person objected: 'Half a month is too short. I think three weeks is best...'

'In fact, it should be less difficult for us to ship out the goods later. At present, the total market value of Hong Kong stocks exceeds 2 trillion Hong Kong dollars, and the specific circulating market value cannot be calculated for the time being. If we calculate according to a ratio of 33%, the circulating market value is only more than 600 billion Hong Kong dollars.'

'Excluding those that have completed transactions before, and there are still some circulating shares that insist on going long rather than selling, in fact, we are holding the most circulating shares in our hands.'

'As long as the major shareholders of Hong Kong stocks do not take the opportunity to cash out and increase the proportion of the market value of the shares, then we should not have too much difficulty selling.'

...

Everyone expressed their own opinions and argued their case.

Institutions that have already sold a relatively large number of shares and institutions with a relatively small short position do not feel much pressure to sell, and are relatively confident that they can complete the sale within a short period of time. Therefore, they hope to implement the plan as soon as possible to reduce risks.

Institutions with relatively large short positions, such as Thibault Capital Management and Longo Asset Management, are having a more difficult time selling their shares, so they want more time to sell their shares and get their money back.

With different interests, their positions naturally differ, even though they are now allies in the same trench!

Jacob Rothschild and Evelyn Rothschild's heads are spinning.

But there's nothing they can do, so they can only appease everyone and remain patient to chair the meeting well.

In the end, after nearly an hour of heated discussion, it was finally unanimously voted to give everyone another three weeks to clear their positions.

After the three weeks had passed, regardless of whether or not the scheduled clearance plan had been completed, no further waiting was to be done, and the smash-and-grab offensive was immediately launched!

...

Next Monday, Hong Kong stocks will restart.

With the public opinion heat over the weekend, the Hong Kong stock market opened sharply higher by more than 15 points.

The conspirators who had made full preparations over the weekend increased their efforts to sell stocks.

As long as they could ensure that the market did not crash, they sold as much as they could.

On Xia Yu's side, major institutions were also increasing their efforts to sell.

On Monday morning, Xia Yu personally arrived at Jiuding Securities.

Yuan Tianfan, who had taken over from Wang Qi as head of Jiuding Securities, was sitting in the operations room.

'Hello, Chairman!'

saw Xia Yu arrive and immediately greeted him respectfully.

Xia Yu smiled, nodded, patted Yuan Tianfan on the shoulder, and asked kindly,

'Tianfan, is the shipping going smoothly?'

Yuan Tianfan immediately replied, 'It's going quite smoothly. Not only are we gradually selling the stocks we bought before according to plan, we're also helping our sister companies sell their stocks, and the process is quite orderly.'

'That's good!'

Xia Yu nodded with satisfaction and said.

Some listed companies within the consortium, such as Galaxy Movies, Jiuding Real Estate Development Co., Ltd., Heung Kong Electric Light Company, Jiuding Shangri-La Hotel Group, and so on, can reduce their holdings of some of the cross-held shares of their sister companies to recycle funds, and then buy the shares back at a later time.

Of course, for the safety of his own company, Xia Yu's family office has set indicators and drawn lines for each company within the consortium. They are not allowed to cross the red line!

The so-called red line is to ensure that the consortium as a whole holds more than 66.7% of the equity of the core company, to ensure that there is no risk of infiltration by enemies.

'Continue with the operation, don't mind me!'

Xia Yu walked up behind one of the traders and noticed that the trader was feeling a little uncomfortable, so he said softly.

Jiuding Securities Company was not under his personal control after all. As the head of the consortium, Xia Yu rarely went to the front line to follow operations in person. Now that Jiuding Securities Company was getting bigger and bigger, with many employees, there were very few people who could get in touch with him. Therefore, Xia Yu could understand the traders' unease.

After looking behind several traders in succession and listening to the dispatching and commanding of the person in charge of the operation room, Xia Yu couldn't help but nod slightly. This action made Yuan Tianshan beside him secretly relieved.

Xia Yu observed that these traders were indeed elites, placing orders quickly, accurately and ruthlessly, and they were indeed very good at preempting the market.

Of course, there were problems.

Xia Yu discovered one problem, which was that when placing orders, the traders would still take the overall market into consideration, thinking about shipping at the highest possible price.

However, this would place high demands on the timing of shipping and the volume of each order.

Taking the shipping price into consideration would affect the efficiency of shipping.

Xia Yu didn't care much about the difference of a few cents or one Hong Kong dollar per share, even if each cent had to be multiplied by a huge stock volume.

What he cared about was shipping efficiency!

After reading it, Xia Yu called Yuan Tianfan to his office. While sitting down to drink tea, he instructed Yuan Tianfan, 'Tianfan, during the lunch break, you must gather the people and hold a meeting to unify their thinking.'

'Don't worry about the market. It doesn't matter if you break the market's upward trend, or if the market fluctuates or falls. I only have one request: increase shipments. You must complete the shipping plan in the shortest possible time!'

'We are shipping, and so is our enemy. I don't want our enemy to sell too many shares at high prices.'

'Do you understand?'
