Regal Hong Kong has shrunk into a rich derivatives in mind, “butcher’s knife”

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

As the world’s highest concentration of millionaires one of the regions, Hong Kong people how rich? Take a look at Citibank, the disclosure of the data by the end of March this year, it: Hong Kong Island millionaire many as 164,000 people, or an average of every seven individuals have one person is a millionaire, while the Center in Wan Chai district on Hong Kong Island is rich population the highest percentage of district (18.2%), almost every five persons is a millionaire; even in Kowloon and the New Territories, but also 15 and 17 people each have a millionaire.
There is also a set of data that last year more than 20% of the millionaires aged between 21 and 29 years only – then United States expert interpretation is that it reflects the young people know how long they have to invest.
Hong Kong’s richest territory as the stock market crash this year has been changed. Has produced many young rich wealth of the stock market has become a “butcher.” Not only young people, even experienced investment professionals failed to escape. Pharmaceutical companies do think of (08250.HK) President Lv to the media recently revealed that he also encountered investment “Waterloo”, lost tens of millions of dollar.
Lv the identity of listed companies in addition to the President, who is also chairman of the Hong Kong Association for the protection of investors, in the Prior to that, he also served as an analyst in Hong Kong CSL, since the 90s last century, it is already the major newspapers in Hong Kong Oprah one of the altar in the stocks. So the investment experts, but also difficult to arrive Accumulator (accumulated stock options) of the trap, was overwhelmed by the derivatives, the loss of tens of millions, is cause for regret.
Lv a recent interview with “First Financial Daily” mentioned the investment in an exclusive interview, but also regret saying that it was one of its most failures. He had survived the 1997 financial crisis and the SARS crisis and seize the opportunities the market downturn a few times to create the myth of return on investment records, no one dreamed that this year will be planted on this Accumulator.
A rich wealth has generally shrunk in size
Regal Hong Kong stock market crash how much they lost, which is a private privacy, the outside world not know. However, last year’s “Asian stocks God”, Hong Kong known as “Tetra” and Lee Shau Kee has disclosed that its subsidiary Shau Kee Financial assets were shrinking quarter a year earlier to 150 billion Hong Kong dollars. With the September outbreak of the financial tsunami, the Hang Seng Index and then evaporated Yusan Cheng, “tetra” losses can be imagined. With the wealth has shrunk dramatically, Lee Shau-kee has recently changed his last year’s high-profile does not want to comment on the media market trends.
From the disclosure of the interests of HKEx point of view, has been advocating “long-term investment” Lee Shau Kee in the October stock market crash of 19.4 Hong Kong dollars per share after the sudden sale of 3182 shares of China Life Insurance (601628, stock bar), cash in about 6.2 billion Hong Kong dollars . “Tetra” hold China Life Insurance (601628, stock bar) in the last five years, is the number one love, one share, last year China Life Insurance (601628, stock bar) once rushed into the nearly 54 Hong Kong dollars, he has not sold, and now shares fall nearly 60%, but he reluctantly must sell, had shot part of the life stock, can be imagined, the stock market crash for “tetra” great influence. This time he carrying more than 500 million while profit HK
But the count the opportunity cost is estimated that hard for him to laugh. No wonder the “Tetra” Recently in the media, Xiao Xue themselves as “counterfeit shares of the gods.”
IPO in the past several large-scale activities, including Li Ka-shing, Lee Shau Kee, Cheng Yu-tung, etc., a large number of heavyweight billionaire are in a large upfront investment in large-scale buying IPO shares before the IPO to become the “cornerstone investors “(cornerstone investors), would stimulate discussion and even in Hong Kong that the wealthy their investment is not fair. In response to these views, HKEx CEO Paul Chow and even issued a special advisory to discuss the case. But with the stock market crash this year, frequently the basis for most of last year investors have suffered heavy losses, while the subsequent IPO has little to offer investors to patronize
The “basic investor” discussions let the matter rest, as they have been rich with bloody facts tell the community, the so-called “foundation investors” did not seize any good.
By Lee Shau Kee, for example, the past two years, he bought more than 30 new shares, but the listing of new shares over the past two years, almost all have been cut, some even up to 90% decline, the market is estimated that during this period that he has not thrown if the stock holding So far, earnings have been the end of the book is about more than 570 billion Hong Kong dollars, fell to less than the current 7.0 billion Hong Kong dollars. The statistics, last year alone, he subscribed more than 10 new shares will have all fallen through the offer price, alone lost more than 20 billion. Among these, including being “tetra” described as a “loss was 好惨” in Country Garden.
In addition to Lee Shau Kee, Kerry Chairman Robert Kuok Hock Nien has also been exposed because of new shares and lose badly. Last year, he began to subscribe for 12 shares that most of the corrosion-free profits. Apart from the cross-build and Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (601398, stock bar) earned about 6.6 billion Hong Kong dollars, the rest of new shares has been a loss of Guoyi. Let him perhaps the most heartache is to allow exclusion of more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, he pumped in the SOHO China, Country Garden, Olympic Park and Fuxing and other real estate stocks and has 12 co-evaporation of about 1.03 billion shares Hong Kong dollars, can be imagined, Kuok-year investment in new shares very tragic outcome.
Lee Shau-kee, and only if the real estate tycoons Robert Kuok Hock Nien origin, planted in the Stock Market may be forgiven, then had to “share the altar Sniper” shocking Lights of Chinese Estates Chairman Joseph Lau (large Liu) is also a huge investment losses, is to make market, scaring the daylights out.
Big Liu generous in August last year, swept into the Ping An Insurance, the peak last September 28, to 107.68 Hong Kong dollars per share, equity holdings, so that ownership by as much as 7.03%, market value of up to 200 billion HK dollars. Liu originally intended to hold large long-term, but less than a month, with Ping An’s share price plunge, he has not contain himself, began to frequent liquidators, in less than two months, he’s holding had been reduced to 4.89 %, while the share price has plunged to 84 at the time the Hong Kong dollar. Alone, large Liu for two months lost more than billion. In July of this year,
Chinese Estates disclosure of securities for sale a huge book loss of 2.5 billion Hong Kong dollars; to more than 8.1 billion Hong Kong dollars at the end of the book value of listed securities by selling some securities and adjusted book losses

Can be overturned when the rich feast of beauty contest

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Guangzhou, the most expensive ever deeply attached to each event last night in Guangzhou, a five-star Grand Hotel. 6 pm, Regal deeply attached to each will be selected for the “Beauty Pageant” were replaced with beautiful evening gowns, lined up outside the banquet hall. Music sounded, beauty strode “cat-step” one by one into their life, this might change the “temple of rich beauty pageant.” The 30 net worth of tens of millions, even billions of dollars of the rich were in the banquet hall, one by one review of their “future wife.” (January 11, “Information Times”)
The world’s luxury report [luxury.icxo.com] I do not know whether there had been on a vegetable market in meat experience. Share of pork meat into a Gejia existence of discrete hang up, where the fillet where pork, which hindquarters, explicit, unabashedly on display at the customer before the left to pick. This beauty contest in Guangzhou feast, and the meat trade Tanqian What is the difference!
Modern women are not specially pay attention to human dignity, the pursuit of an independent spirit? However, in the colorful banknotes in front, even the 10000 selected one of the beauties are scrambling to learn the pork meat stalls throughout the city, with brutal frankness on display for the rich selection. The so-called dignity, independence, actually so pale! Is no wonder that more than 1,000 years ago, Lu praised the laments over and over again, thinking that the money this thing, “no German and respect, and no influence, while hot, Pai Kinmen, and into the purple door of an inner. Danger make an, die can live, your make cheap, raw can kill. ”
Naturally, Deal or No Deal’s richest people are the community’s success, so that all walks of life admired. However, these beauties into the rich beauty of the temple were, who were to be investigated how the rich become rich it?
We do not rule out the ranks of wealthy, there are a good moral people. Opened in recent years, China Rich List, of which there is no lack of moral example. However, every year China Rich List baked, can be sent to prison a few figure fortune, so that Hurun List has a nickname, called “killing List.” The media revealed that there are so part of the rich, they would rather die than willing to the list, so do everything possible to RBI, it was said in general can be spent 300,000 yuan on the list to avoid.
This is the information revealed in the middle of a very thought-provoking. If the rich group is a moral wilderness, a bastion of evil naturally slander. But, no doubt, compared to other groups in society, their crime rate is much higher. Logically speaking, such a moral, legal sword special care groups, people come into contact, when, what shall we carefully treading on thin ice, however, thousands of beauties, but still flock to in order to marry into wealthy for life’s ultimate pursuit, only to show that Many modern women advertised by the human dignity, the spirit of independence, is just a fragile glass ball, touched or broken.
When the rich feast of beauty has been overturned, and modern women can one truly stood up.

LV Why can not cut prices in China, adhere to?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

Beijing’s winter, Bank of China, Zhu Min, vice president of human resources management in a Chinese New Year, the report was published his famous “LV” theory – the United States, Europe and Japan’s economy will enter a “L-type” recession, Fei Liu Mashimo 3 Qian Chi, Yimapingchuan for many years. The world’s luxury report [luxury.icxo.com] China’s economy will experience “V-type” adjustment, carefully drop gradually after bottoming bounce.
Shanghai’s winter in Shanghai downtown business district Gucci, Coach, Tods bags and other luxury stores have discounts to meet the upcoming 2009, only the LV (Louis Vuitton) monolithic, no price cut, will the noble persist in the end.
Zhu Min said that the financial crisis had led to Europe and the United States on three major economic entities in the past 60 years the first time in synchronized downturn, the contribution to the global economy will be “zero growth”, which makes the pattern of global growth in 2009 will be fundamental changes.
LV said, we come from Europe, we insist on quality, we will not lower social status. Many people may want to ask, LV, how can you not lower prices? In the global information company Interbrand brand “issued by the leading luxury brands in 2008 ranked” in, LV to 21.602 billion U.S. dollars in brand value topped, leading in the second row The GUCCI foot 130 billion dollars. Perhaps this is the LV refused to lower prices of lung power.
In fact, the global financial crisis on the luxury industry to bring a heavy blow to a lot of people to change the original lavish spending habits, many luxury goods began to be reduced to the counter where the long-term furnishings. No, when the public began to abandon them, they began to cater to the general public. Winter, Beijing has experienced the luxury brand market sale will be N, crazy promotions, the lowest discount, and many in the past can not be experienced at this time the brand became a housewife cooking food basket inside, as the fancy pick.
Yes, Chinese women are the most sophisticated, they know how to take a discount price to get the original high price is simply a good thing, they even for their own “accounted for cheap luxury goods,” music on a whole week or even longer. But they rarely think – these brands are Why dare to set such a high price?
Is it really because of its perfect workmanship, texture world so unique and perfect service do? Want to know, the old Beijing tailor-made cheongsam’s century-old also has this capital, but others hand-embroidered satin cheongsam also the most expensive children 10000 8000, general However, the upper and lower custom thousand dollars. You may not like the dress, choose the LV, this is your right. If you insist that the design of LV downright fashionable NB, non-glamorous side objects, I have nothing to say.
I want to say is, in fact, led to LV luxury brands dare to sell so expensive in China, the price is because consumers dares to buy. LV in the world price of fact, very similar, but China’s per capita income is still ranked 100 in the world, the equivalent of the United States, 1 / 25, Japan, 1 / 21 and the world average of 1 / 4. But the poor go poorer, China LV is precisely the mainstream consumer market. Looking around us, the entertainment world sports star, starred on the size of manpower a LV, the so-called upper class aristocratic prefer to LV is armed to the teeth, it well understood – to buy an LV for them to buy a lipstick with no difference, money is not a problem,
Face is the key.
The question is, if the LV to support these people alone, then it that starved to death. LV behind, there are numerous advanced wave upon wave of office pink, white-collar and the Golden Collar. A monthly income of 5000 a small white-collar workers, her dream might save a two-month’s salary to the store to buy a LV bag, and then back to the office Xianbai consciously or unconsciously, so that gas had given his colleagues by not underestimate the importance of她. LV for her is not only a symbol of quality, but also a symbol of identity and dignity.
It is precisely because we live in the workplace, the lack of dignity, and only then the desire to give us the dignity of luxury. However, do not forget, if the world does not LV, you should rely on to build their own dignity?
I have seen a school student in the study notes and wrote their own motto, so I still remember – “My parents give you name, your brand.” I had the feeling that, wow, HAOKU ah!
If this phrase be replaced, the parents give you the names of famous brand. Sounds are not so cool.
Luxury for a woman mean? Means that attention to themselves, in other words it is “you deserve.” However, the emphasis is not equal love. If a man sent to his girlfriend, LV, I dare say, prove that “love” more than the absolute expression of the intention of the impulse of love.
