Taipingshan, Li's villa.
In the study.
"Abu" has stern features, a crew cut, a black jacket and windbreaker, and is carrying a long black handbag. His face was full of icy coldness and murderous intent.
I saw him standing in front of Boss Li and speaking.
Boss Li stood behind the yellow rosewood desk, stood up slowly, and stared at him: "Okay."
During this period, the Hong Kong government has strongly intervened in the stock market, foreign exchange market, futures market, and the financial market has been changing, and the situation is not optimistic for the British side. At the same time, some people in the police department and icac were mobilized privately, as if they were investigating something privately.
A group of ghosts such as Bi Kecheng and Boss Li were secretly unsure of the situation of the Hong Kong police force. On the other hand, they were also worried.
Being unsure of the situation means losing control, and losing control means danger, and retreat and defense work must also be put on the agenda.
Of course, Bi Kecheng and others are more concerned about their own safety, but Boss Li also needs to consider the financial risks of the family/group.
After all, Bi Kecheng and others work for a "salary", but Boss Li spends all his wealth gambling. But now not only the risk of "small loss" has emerged, but the risk of "big loss" has begun to loom. However, fortunately, the Li Group has a big business. Even if it loses all its working capital, it can still use its industry and land as mortgage loans to maintain the continued operation of the group.
As long as the Li Group can continue to operate, it is certain that it will make money, and Boss Li's ability to make money cannot be denied. Therefore, he only perceived the "crisis", but did not think of "bankruptcy". No one would have thought that "Lee's Industries", one of the top five companies in Hong Kong, might be in bankruptcy crisis!
However...a brutal attack was waiting for him.
"Abu" whose full name is "Bu Tonglin" is a "mercenary" bodyguard hired by the British with huge sums of money to go to the Middle East battlefield with high salary.
He is both extremely skilled and proficient in marksmanship. He is the top "lone ranger" on the battlefield in the Middle East.
It can be said that they are "overqualified" for carrying out protection tasks, and they are the top group of "war killers".
The British side was not suitable to send people from the "Military Intelligence Service" to protect Boss Li. That would expose Boss Li's identity as a traitor to the British, so they personally spent resources to hire strong men.
You know, how rich are top war killers like Bu Tonglin? You may not be able to ask for it. There must be deep intelligence forces, otherwise we won't even be able to make contact.
It may be that they want to "buy horse bones with thousands of gold" to protect the only "big water pipe" left by the British side in Hong Kong Island. The British side not only hired people, but also spent money, which can be regarded as a good deal.
After all, Boss Li has considerable influence in the business community on Hong Kong Island, and he is also the biggest player in the upper class leaning towards the "British side". (after return)
Therefore, retaining him is still very important. The British side has also spent a lot of money and vowed to keep "Boss Li".
"Crack." Abu let go and ordered the black backpack to fall to the ground, making a heavy muffled sound and a faint sound of metal collision. It was obviously filled with many firearms.
"I will be responsible for protecting your safety during this period. If you don't trust me, you can bring other bodyguards." At this moment, Abu said in an authentic Beijing accent: "However, I can't solve things that I believe. Neither can anyone else.”
Abu spoke in a calm tone, as if he was telling a fact.
"Okay, you are responsible for protecting me 24 hours a day. In addition, I will bring two groups of bodyguards on duty. It's up to you." Boss Li dilated his pupils, raised his arms and walked around the desk and said seriously.
He is still very concerned about his own safety and responsible, and understands that professionalism should be left to professionals. Of course, he was a little surprised that the ghost guy invited a Chinese face, and he was even more surprised that the Chinese man spoke pure and authentic Mandarin with Beijing accent.
However, he completely believed in the people invited by Gui Lao, and believed that the people invited by Gui Lao must be the strongest. Gui Lao's shit smells the best.
As everyone knows, the most terrifying people in the world war are the Chinese! Mainland Chinese! ! !
"I'm going to HSBC Bank in ten minutes." At this time, Boss Li raised his wrist and looked at his watch. Abu immediately understood and said: "Understood."
Now, Boss Li is going to HSBC for help. Because he suspects that after the stock market rises, the Hong Kong government bank will not lend him a loan, and it is convenient to seek a loan from HSBC. The most important thing is that HSBC will not investigate the whereabouts of his group's funds... Some things are better to cooperate with "our own people" , not suitable for “outsiders”, inappropriate.
"The stock market may be going up..." That night, Boss Li walked out of the gate of HSBC Bank, looked at the stars in the sky, and sighed with sadness.
In Repulse Bay, in the manor mansion, Zhuang Shikai was half leaning on an old man's chair, blowing the gentle evening breeze, holding a Cuban cigar in his mouth, and said leisurely with a slight smile on his lips: "Starting tomorrow, I will send ten consecutive successes to the international speculators! Celebrate them. celebrate!"
"Yes! Big boss!" Sima Xiang, Huang Shitong, Chen Zhan and other members of the landlord association, oh no, they are now consultants of the "Crisis Affairs Department".
Everyone in suits stood by and answered in unison.
The next day, in the morning.
August 28, 1997.
10 o'clock, the market is open!
Just five minutes after the opening of the Hong Kong stock market, the turnover of the stock market exceeded HK$3.9 billion. Half an hour later, the transaction volume exceeded 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. By the time the market closed in the morning, the transaction volume had reached a huge 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, which was the peak of the battle between Chinese and Western capital.
After the market opened in the afternoon, the selling continued unabated and the trading volume continued to rise. However, the Hong Kong government entered the market with 20 billion U.S. dollars. It not only accepted all the short positions of international speculators, but also quickly boosted the stock price. Only 30 minutes after the market opened, Hong Kong stocks The index skyrocketed.
Today, both the Hong Kong government, state capital and Western international speculators know that "2.28" is a life-or-death battle.
They threw down all the chips in their hands!
Especially speculators in Western countries have limited chips in their hands and have already spent almost all of them. As for the national capital of the Hong Kong government, with sufficient foreign exchange reserves, it can be regarded as being able to move with ease.
At the closing auction at 4 p.m., the Hong Kong Index rose to 7,000 points, an increase of more than 11%.
The decisive battle!
The Hong Kong government angrily picked off the enemy chiefs! ! !
It shattered the wishful thinking of Western speculators with powerful funds, and then used funds to turn the tide to inform Western speculators that, first, the Hong Kong government has sufficient foreign exchange reserves and is not afraid of going to war with Western speculators; second, the Hong Kong government dares to intervene in the market and use all its strength to protect the market. Financial security on Hong Kong Island!
After the rumors and public opinion spread by these two Western speculators were shattered by Hong Kong government funds, the Western speculators no longer had any trump cards to play and fell into a completely passive situation.
"Click, click." That night, Sima Xiang, wearing a white suit and holding his cane, led a group of landlords' association members out of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority building.
"Mr. Sima Xiang, if the Hong Kong stock market rose to 7,000 points today, will it affect the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves?" A reporter held up a microphone and asked: "Foreign exchange reserves also have other very important meanings. They are just used for financial purposes." Will the war affect urban development?"
Sima Xiang turned his head to look at the young reporter and said with astonishment in his eyes: "Our Hong Kong government is very rich! The current foreign exchange reserves used have exceeded 10 billion US dollars, but it is less than 15% of the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves."
Sima Xiang narrowed his eyes again and said slowly: "In addition, the motherland government has more than 100 billion U.S. dollars in foreign exchange reserves, 80% of which has nothing to do with military expenditures. It is always ready for the people of the country in the war of wealth!"
"Who has more money than the international speculators who want to compete with us? Wall Street is not enough!" Sima Xiang suddenly raised his right hand, clenched his fist, and dropped his cuffs.
I saw him clenching his fists and saying: "Let the White House come!"
…
"Secretary, will the government's proactive intervention in Hong Kong Island's stock market affect Hong Kong Island's status as an international financial hub?"
"As we all know, the Hong Kong Island market is a free and open market. Will such a move lead to the outflow of foreign capital?"
"Is the status of a financial port lost?"
At this time, members of the Landowners Association had just left the Hong Kong Monetary Authority building, and the Financial Secretary was blocked by a group of reporters in front of the Government Building.
The Financial Secretary responded to reporters’ questions: “As we all know, Hong Kong Island has become an international financial port not because of its port, but because the mainland market is behind us, and international funds must flow into the mainland market through Hong Kong Island. Therefore, Hong Kong Island has become an international financial port. Only then will it become an international financial port.”
"As long as the mainland market remains there, Hong Kong Island will always be an international financial port, and I believe that the potential of the mainland market will become the world's largest market in the future."
"Are you so confident in the mainland?"
Suddenly, the reporter asked doubtfully.
The Financial Secretary stared at him and said: "An open market is not an open bank. We only welcome investors, not bandits!"
Having said that, the Financial Secretary no longer paid attention to the young reporter in front of him. Instead, surrounded by several staff members, he turned around and walked to a car to enter.
I saw that the director's face was no longer solemn or worried, but relaxed and freehand.
You know, the Hong Kong index rising to 7,000 points is just the beginning. The Hong Kong government has already been able to push up the stock index, but waiting to counterattack now is giving international speculators an opportunity to establish short positions.
Next, the stock index will continue to soar! Every 100 points increase is a harvest for international speculators! Short futures contracts have a fixed trading time. Soros, Wall Street, Boss Li and other businessmen who have invested money to buy short have only ten days to deliver the contract!
Now? You can’t sell it even if you want to! They must bear the losses caused by the rise in Hong Kong stocks! The Hong Kong government must seize the opportunity to pursue the victory and beat up the drowned dog!
On the second day, the Hong Kong stock market rose to 7,400 points, on the third day to 7,600 points, on the fourth day it rose slightly by 20 points, and on the third day it rose straight up... On the tenth day, the Hong Kong stock market reached a high of 10,000 points again!
The people of Hong Kong are excited, but Western capital and international speculators are everywhere and have suffered heavy losses.
…
"Sir Zhuang, after an investigation, the Political Department has initially drawn up a list of bureaucrats." On the eighth day of the rise in the Hong Kong stock market, Zhuo Jingquan raised his hand and tapped the glass door of the director's office. When a voice came from inside... he opened the door. He handed a list to the cp and said with a serious expression: "These people are all bureaucrats who have interests in Bi Kecheng."
"Two ministers, three deputy ministers, and more than a dozen people at all levels, all eating and smashing pots, causing harm to the country!" Zhuo Jingquan's brows were filled with disgust and anger, and he said resolutely: "Should we arrest him immediately? ?”
