November 9th, light rain!
Early in the morning, when people on Hong Kong Island were preparing to go to work despite the drizzle, everyone who paid attention to the stock market and gold heard a shocking news - the price of gold has fallen!
Before going to bed last night, everyone was still discussing this matter. After all, newspapers and TV media were reporting on it yesterday.
It also involves the four major families in Hong Kong, star companies, the Hong Kong Governor's Office and other major forces. Even those citizens who don't care about the investment market are inevitably affected.
Since the Hong Kong Governor stepped forward and the British-funded group invested a large amount of money, which successfully stabilized the market, most people are more inclined to support the British-funded group and believe that the price of gold will not fall in the short term.
Of course, this is partly because the Governor of Hong Kong represents the official government to a certain extent, and is naturally more authoritative about information sent from the official level.
On the other hand, it is everyone's trust in the price of gold. It is gold after all. Under normal circumstances, the price of gold will not rise or fall sharply unless there is a large-scale turmoil in the world.
But at present, the world situation is relatively stable, so the price of gold is definitely unlikely to plummet.
However, they never expected that the international gold price would fall when they woke up, which caught many people off guard.
At this time, the ugliness of human nature is revealed!
Those investors who have successfully cashed out are naturally happy, and those who have been trapped are gloating about their misfortune.
But those who did not listen to the advice and stayed on the sidelines beat their chests and regretted endlessly.
Instead of reflecting on their mistakes, they directly blamed the British-owned groups and the Hong Kong Governor for their mistakes, claiming that they had misled them.
For a time, people could be heard everywhere on buses, in small restaurants and even in public toilets cursing the Hong Kong Governor and people from the British-owned group.
After cursing, the people who reacted cut their flesh and left the scene one after another. This time they did not dare to wait and see anymore.
Everyone is not stupid. The price of gold in Thieving Eagle has dropped. How could a tiny place like Hong Kong Island be spared?
Whenever something like this happens, Hong Kong Island will only fall worse. If you don’t leave the market at this time, you have to be mentally prepared to be stuck for a long time!
As a result, the gold market on Hong Kong Island instantly reversed its situation. People were everywhere selling physical gold and financial products, and the listed prices were lower than the previous ones.
The public's reaction directly affected the plan of Smith and others. When they were about to admit defeat and sell the gold in their hands at a low price, they found that everyone was reducing or even clearing their gold holdings at a low price. At this time, the market But no one took over at all.
Smith and others were completely confused, they knew they had been trapped!
The only hope now is that gold prices don't fall too much.
In that case, their losses would not be too heavy.
Furthermore, the price of gold needs to rebound faster, otherwise, some people may not be able to hold on any longer.
You must know that the funds they used to buy gold and maintain the gold market came from internal members of the British-funded group. In this operation, each of them invested an average of more than 200 million Hong Kong dollars.
Many people's money comes from banks. Once they lose money, it will really break their bones!
The facts were indeed as Smith expected. After learning that the Federal Reserve was raising interest rates and the price of gold fell, many people from the vassal forces of the British group couldn't sit still and called him one after another to inquire about the situation.
Faced with questioning from members of the group, Smith originally did not want to tell the truth, but the development of the situation caught him somewhat unexpectedly.
Originally, the price of gold in Hong Kong Island could still maintain US$608 per ounce yesterday, but this morning it dropped to US$577, with the price plummeting by US$31 per ounce.
Such a huge drop can no longer be described as a fall, it can only be described as a plunge.
Faced with this situation, Smith had no choice but to tell them the truth.
After learning that in less than two days, they had lost a total of 1 billion US dollars on Thief Eagle, and that Hong Kong Island had also suffered heavy losses, those who hoped to follow these ghosts of the British-funded group drank People who are talking about soup are not calm anymore.
This is really a case of stealing the chicken but losing the rice, losing the wife and losing the army at the same time!
For a time, the British-owned group was filled with mourning...
However, everyone still has a bit of luck in their hearts, that is, gold is a safe-haven asset after all. Even if the price drops, it will not plummet like junk stocks in the stock market and become worthless.
But what they don't know is that this drop in international gold prices is just the beginning.
In the next long period of time, the price of gold will go through a series of dives and will not rebound in a short period of time!
If you are stuck this time, you are really stuck. It will take at least 10 years, or even longer, for the price to return to its current high level.
More importantly, after the failure of the attack on Li Yi, the hidden problems within the British-owned group gradually surfaced, which also made the future of the largest and most powerful business alliance in Asia full of uncertainty.
Although it won't fall apart immediately, it will no longer respond to a hundred calls and have unlimited glory like before!
Originally, the British capital group was a loose alliance with weak relationships. In this business alliance, British capital had an absolute advantage and controlled the right to speak.
Dozens or hundreds of families in Hong Kong Island can only be reduced to vassals. Usually, when something happens, these people come forward, and if there are big business operations, they will also contribute money.
Of course, they can also obtain certain benefits from this business alliance, but these are the leftovers left by the British bosses.
All in all, if there is something to do, the vassal will do it, the vassal will take the blame, and the boss will eat it!
In the long-term process, most of the Chinese capital is actually very aggrieved, but they have to bow their heads under the eaves.
But after what happened to the Li family, the atmosphere within the British-owned group became a little strange.
Many unsteady elements became even more shaken. Some of the vassals who were originally determined to be their dogs couldn't help but feel chills running down their backs after seeing the situation of the Li family. They had to be more careful when doing things.
For example, Lin Zhengrong, who was pushed to the front by the British-owned group to attack the Li family gold shop, although he had been working hard for the people of the British-owned group, he did not dare to put all his chips on the gambling table.
However, since the strength of the British-owned group at this time has not been lost and the right to speak in Hong Kong Island is still there, everyone does not dare to show it too obviously even if they are disloyal.
However, this golden war with Li Yi directly led to heavy losses for the British-owned group, and many problems that were originally covered up gradually became a bit difficult to cover.
Just when the price of gold in Hong Kong was plummeting, the cliques within the British-owned group called Li Futiao one after another. On the surface, they wanted to contact Li Futiao, but in fact everyone knew that these people were looking for a future for themselves. road.
But some people are more reserved, while others are more direct.
In order to gain the trust of Li Futiao, a Chinese-funded boss, many people directly secretly told Li Futiao some inside information about the British-funded group.
When Li Futiao learned that the British-owned group had lost nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars at one time, he was very shocked. He saw with his own eyes how these ghosts entered the trap carefully set by Li Yi step by step.
It can be said that Li Yi single-handedly tricked the British-owned group to death!
Shocked, Li Futiao immediately reported the situation to New York...
