Chapter 1142 The Hurricane Sweeping the World

"In order to stimulate the U.S. economy and further ease domestic inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker announced at a press conference that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will raise the federal funds rate from the current level on August 1. Nineteen percent has been raised to 21 percent, and the loan interest rate has been raised from the current 21.5 percent to 24 percent..."

In the Galaxy Fund conference room, Xia Yu, Liu Xiao and others gathered together. After Liu Xiao read the news from the United States, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

"Great, the Fed has indeed raised interest rates, and Latin America and other countries are doomed!"

"The interest rate hike this time is too sudden, and it is in an abnormal interest rate hike policy, which only gives the capital market ten days of reaction time, hahaha..."

"This can also show the dilemma of the economic situation in the United States. If it can still bear it, the Federal Reserve will not do so. I am afraid it will use a threatening interest rate hike policy..."

"Now the Fed shoots without saying a word, it is decisive enough and powerful enough..."

...

For a while, there was some confusion in the conference room, everyone expressed their own views, and laughter came one after another.

Xia Yu just smiled and watched everyone vent.

For nearly a month, he has been here every day, and naturally he knows the situation of everyone.

Although Liu Xiao and others didn't talk to him, Xia Yu could still see the pressure in everyone's heart.

Now that the Fed's policy of raising interest rates that he described has finally appeared, the general trend of international capital flows to the United States has reappeared, and the situation of Latin America and other countries seems to be worse.

The Fed is looking at the world with a knife, and the most hurt is definitely Latin America and other countries.

Now, they are waiting for the moment of the avalanche!

"Clap!"

"Okay, everyone, calm down!"

After seeing everyone talking for a while, Xia Yu clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to himself, making everyone quiet down.

In an instant, the entire conference room became quiet again.

Looking at the scorching eyes looking at him, Xia Yu glanced around with a serious look, and said in a deep voice, "Today is July 21, and there are still ten days before the Fed will actually raise interest rates."

"After the policy is implemented, there may be problems in Latin America one day, it may be August 1, it may be August 5, or it may be after August 15, all of which are uncertain. ."

"So the real safe time left for us is only ten days between today and August 1!"

"I know your progress, and some people's deployments have not been completed. Although some people have completed their deployments, there is still room for optimization."

"So in the next ten days, you will lead your respective teams to continue to improve the deployment as planned, and be sure to complete it before August 1!"

"And before the day of August 1st, all of you will arrive in your respective areas of responsibility, take command in person, and I will sit in the headquarters for overall scheduling."

"any questions?"

With the last sound, Xia Yu suddenly raised the volume, his eyes were sharp like a knife, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.

"No!"

Everyone held their heads high and shouted in unison.

"Okay, let's go!"

After all, Xia Yu didn't hesitate at all, got up and took the lead to leave the conference room. After the others left, they quickly walked to their respective departments.

They have to fully deploy in the next few days, of course this is remote command.

The reason why they still stay here is to connect with Xia Yu in time, and their remote command can also promote the work.

When the Latin American sovereign debt crisis really broke out, the fighter planes were changing rapidly, and they had to be present in person to command and dispatch, so as not to delay the fighter planes.

...

After Paul Volcker announced that the Fed raised interest rates, the news almost occupied the front-page headlines of financial news in various countries in the next few days.

And the effects are starting to appear.

Although the Fed's interest rate hike policy will officially take effect on August 1, the dollar has accelerated its appreciation again, and many capitals have begun to preemptively enter the United States to seek preservation.

The price of gold futures also stopped the downward trend and began to rise.

In fact, many of Xia Yu's companies have completed capital deployment ahead of schedule.

For example, Jiuding Bank, in order to preserve the value of its assets, has already exchanged most of its funds into US dollars or gold futures contracts in advance, and also took out a large amount of funds to go long in US dollars and gold futures.

Each point increase in the price of the US dollar offshore exchange rate and gold futures contracts can create considerable floating profits for many of Xia Yu's companies.

Of course, Xia Yu also informed his hard-core allies in advance of this opportunity, and asked them to make their own deployments. How much money can be made depends on the individual's ability, but at least the assets will not shrink due to this unexpected situation. .

...

July 26.

When Liu Xiao and others completed their work deployment and scattered to their respective areas.

The incident of the ownership of Shaw Brothers Film Company and Shaw Brothers Cinema, which has stirred up the situation in Hong Kong and even the Asian film industry, finally has a clear result.

The headquarters building of Golden Harvest Film Company.

Wrinkled Huai, He Guanchang and Liang Feng gathered together again.

Everyone's second-generation old man's face was pulled, his face was very ugly, and even his wrinkled face showed confusion, and his whole body exuded a decadent and confused atmosphere.

No wonder he, a daring and determined person, has become like this.

This news really hit him too hard!

In the past month or so, in order to compete for the Shaw Brothers Film Company and the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, Wrinkle Huai has tried his best to run around.

Even in order to win these two companies to improve his strength and narrow the gap with Galaxy Films and Universal Cinema, he put down his stature and face and bowed his head to Shao Yifu, just to resolve the grievances and let Shao Yifu transfer the two companies. sell it to him.

But no matter what he did, in the end he still lost!

Galaxy and Universal beat all their rivals, throwing money at Shaw Brothers and Universal.

Among them, Galaxy Film Company bought Shaw Brothers Film Company for 68 million Hong Kong dollars.

Universal Cinemas swallowed the Shaw Cinemas at a price of 172 million Hong Kong dollars.

The gap between Jiahe Film Company and Galaxy Film Company has been greatly widened, so big that Wrinkle has no hope of catching up.

why?

Because after the annexation of Shaw Brothers and Brothers Film Company, Galaxy Film Company has seven times more talents in the film industry than Golden Harvest Film Company!

And the Universal Cinema is even more so.

Universal Cinema itself is the largest cinema chain in Asia, with 30 cinemas in Hong Kong, 188 self-operated cinemas and 102 franchise cinemas in Southeast Asia, and the largest cinema chain in island countries. .

The Shaw Brothers Cinema Line itself is the second largest cinema chain. There are 16 cinemas in Hong Kong, 132 self-operated cinemas and 82 franchise cinemas in Southeast Asia, with a total of 200 cinemas covered by the cinema chain. Thirty!

After Universal Cinemas annexes Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the number of self-operated cinemas in Hong Kong will reach 46, more than half of the total number of cinemas in Hong Kong!

In Southeast Asia, it has reached a terrifying 320 self-operated cinemas and 184 franchise cinemas, covering a total of 504 cinemas!

Absolute giant and domination!

And what about Jiahe Cinemas?

There are only a pitiful 19 cinemas in Xiangjiang, and only seven of them really belong to the Golden Harvest Film Company, and the remaining 12 are franchises.

In Southeast Asia, there are only 21 self-operated theaters in the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, and with the 82 franchised theaters, there are only 103, which is equivalent to about one-fifth of the Universal Cinema Line.

This gap is like a gulf, and it is not something that Golden Harvest Film Company can catch up with.

Moreover, it is completely conceivable that in the face of the prosperity of Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinema, those small and medium-sized film companies will flock to Universal Cinema and Galaxy Film like moths to the flame. After all, these two companies hold other The talent and theaters that small and mid-sized studios need.

"Next, it's the age of Galaxy Films..."

"Hey……"

Wrinkles sighed, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

He Guanchang and Liang Feng looked at the wrinkled arms without fighting spirit, they looked at each other, and there was a deep sense of worry in their eyes...

PS: The second update will be sent, looking for a monthly recommended ticket for a new week! Thanks!
