Chapter 257: Tan Zhenhua is crazy

In Xiangjiang at the beginning of May, I can already feel the heat of summer. Yu Pengxia paced back and forth in his small office, the air conditioner was turned on to maximum, and the mini fan was spinning "whooping", but he still couldn't calm him down. .
He has been very anxious these few days, and it can even be said that he has no thoughts about eating and drinking.
After talking to Guo Zhaode with Tan Zhenhua, he handed over one million dollars of the bottom of the box that the whole family had put together in the hands of Tan Zhenhua. Together with Tan Zhenhua’s five million dollars, he went to HSBC to start foreign exchange speculation. Among them, Tan Zhenhua’s Huaqing Company, himself, and his father and brother have opened 4 accounts. The two parties have negotiated that in the future, regardless of profit or loss, they will be shared in proportion to the amount of investment.
Don’t think it’s him who introduced Tan Zhenhua to his father and brother, and it was him who introduced Guo Zhaode to Tan Zhenhua. He patted his chest in front of everyone to protect Tan Zhenhua. He was the one who said that he would bankrupt the family and settle Tan Zhenhua. When money came to give his life a fight, his heart was more nervous than anyone else.
After opening an account on April 22 and applying for a 5 times financing leverage, according to Tan Zhenhua's program and Guo Zhaode's prediction, these four accounts began to gradually establish short-term short-term contracts in pound under Guo Zhaode's operation.
The so-called foreign exchange short position means that no foreign exchange is actually held in the account, but based on the current market settlement price, foreign exchange is borrowed from the bank or the market in the form of collateral and sold to form a short position.
Under this kind of operation, if the exchange rate of the foreign exchange drops compared to the time when the foreign exchange was borrowed during the delivery period stipulated in the contract, the account can buy the foreign exchange at a lower price for delivery, thereby achieving profitability. Of course, if it rises, The ending is just the opposite.
And 5 times the financing leverage means that the account can be used as collateral for the funds in the user's head, and foreign exchange that is 5 times the actual amount of funds in the account can be borrowed from the bank or the market for trading operations.
Of course, banks will not trade beyond their risk tolerance. For accounts with 5 times leverage, if their book losses reach 20%, they will be forced to sell their foreign exchange for cash. It is called liquidation, but for this account, it is called liquidation.
At this moment, his several accounts jointly invested by Yu Pengxia and Tan Zhenhua show that although they have not yet faced the risk of liquidation, they have already suffered huge losses!
As for the reason, it is also very simple, because the British task force has been victorious on the battlefield, and Argentina can hardly fight back!
The British SAS team that landed on the South Island on April 22 easily grasped all the important military information on the island, and successfully guided the 42nd Marine Assault Battalion to land on the island on the 25th. The 156 Afghan troops only carried out a limited number of operations. The resistance was surrendered under the leadership of the commander Colonel Astici.
At 6 o'clock that evening, the British Army occupied the port of Grittviken, the capital of the South Island, and obtained an important forward base, which could calmly transport personnel and various equipment to the island while deploying the troops.
On the same day, three British Army "Lynx" helicopters spotted the Alfang submarine "Santa Fe" while patrolling near the South Island, and then attacked and sank it with missiles and depth charges.
After a long journey, the main force of the British Task Force arrived in the waters of the Falklands on April 29. It took only one day, that is, on April 30, the deployment of the 200-nautical-mile sea and air blockade around Tsushima Island was completed. Has a strong organizational ability.
The war is about to start!
Just today, May 3, 1982, the latest results of the war came.
Last night, on the evening of May 2, two Royal Navy Lynx helicopters fired four "Sea Skua" anti-ship missiles at the Argentina gunboat "Afeles Sobel". The gunboat was severely damaged and eight officers and soldiers were killed, including the captain, Captain Roca.
If these are just appetizers, then the next battle will be a feast that reflects the powerful combat effectiveness of the British Navy.
At 3:57 pm on May 2, the "Churchill-class" nuclear attack submarine "Conqueror" of the Royal British Navy, after a long period of tracking, finally entered a favorable attack position and directed his prey, Ah The cruiser General Belgrano of the Gentina Navy fired three vintage Type 8 torpedoes from the Second World War with 800-pound warheads.
Two of the three torpedoes hit the target. One of them hit 3/4 of the hull and penetrated near the machinery room and exploded. The shock wave of the explosion conducted upwards, blasting through the two floors of the dining room and recreation room. A large amount of sea water quickly poured into the ship from the gap created by the torpedo, and the ship sank quickly.
The sinking of the "General Belgrano" caused the loss of 323 Afghan soldiers and severely damaged the morale of the Afghan army. According to post-war statistics, this time the number of casualties accounted for the total number of Afghan soldiers killed in the entire Falklands battle. Nearly half of it.
These losses also allowed the Argentina Navy to realize the huge gap between its own combat power and Britain. Since then, all warships, including aircraft carriers, have been huddled in the sea near the naval port and never dared to confront Britain anymore. .
Every bit of what happened on the battlefield thousands of miles away has been interpreted and amplified by the capital market. With the continual victory of Britain, the pound is also rising in praise, and the exchange rate against the US dollar is close to the highest at the beginning of the year of 1:1.96. Point, reached 1:1.91!
And Yu Pengxia's average cost of opening a position is 1:1.76, which means that their losses have exceeded 8%!
US$6 million, plus 5 times leverage, is equivalent to US$30 million. 8% of the loss, that is 2.4 million US dollars, and of this, there is a loss of 400,000 US dollars that needs to be borne by oneself.
what is this concept? It was equivalent to the many years of hard work and frugal savings of my whole family. In just a few days, nearly half of them had gone ashes and no longer belonged to him, and there was not even a splash of water.
Yu Pengxia felt that her heart was bleeding!
Now it seems that Tan Zhenhua really has some insights on the general trend, but when it is implemented in a moment, it is inevitable that he will be arbitrarily naive, and so is himself, how can he be so obsessed with the heart and obey the child's words?
After all, he is not even 18 years old!
He can't sit still. Tonight, he has to talk to Tan Zhenhua and Guo Zhaode. If it doesn't work, stop the loss early. Although the loss of 400,000 US dollars is distressing, it is better than being forced to liquidate the position after the liquidation. it is good.
Yu Pengxia found that her trust in Tan Zhenhua was shaken for the first time.
At this moment, the phone rang on the desk, and he answered it, it was Guo Zhaode.
Guo Zhaode's voice was slightly agitated: "Peng Xia, come to me quickly. I think Tan Zhenhua is crazy. He just found me and said that he would add another five million dollars immediately and continue to short the British pound!"
"what?!"
