In the terrace restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, two foreigners are sitting there enjoying a delicious meal. Looking outside from here, you can see the charming night view of Tsim Sha Tsui.
But these two foreigners are not ordinary people, because there are more than a dozen burly men standing around their table, watching the surrounding situation vigilantly, and no one is allowed to approach the two foreigners.
One of the men in his sixties was a Jew, not impressive in appearance, but in good spirits, smiling and giving a very peaceful feeling.
Sitting opposite him was a man in his early forties, with deep eye sockets and a high nose bridge, but with a strong aggressiveness.
Anyone with knowledge of international finance would have been surprised to see these two men.
These two foreigners are George Soros, the top leader of Quantum Fund, which is famous all over the world, and Christopher Adkins, the second leader of Quantum Fund, who acts as George Soros' deputy.
Since the early 1990s, George Soros' Quantum Fund and Julian Robert's Tiger Fund have become the most powerful and famous hedge funds on Wall Street in the United States, and they are also the objects of worship of people in the global financial circle.
"Akins, how is it? The taste of Chinese food is not bad." Soros put a piece of fat roast goose into his mouth with the shiny silver fork, and at the same time smiled at Christopher Akins opposite.
Christopher Adkins nodded slightly: "There are really not many, no wonder everyone says that living in a British house, eating Chinese food, and marrying a Japanese wife are the three greatest enjoyments in life.
This really makes sense. "Speaking, he put the fresh and tender belly of the steamed grouper in front of him into his mouth to chew carefully.
Soros laughed and said: "China is a country with a history of thousands of years. The so-called four ancient civilizations, in fact, the other three countries are incomparable with China.
The real ancient civilization has always been only China, and her culture is something that we cannot fully understand. It really deserves the words "broad and profound". "
"Mr. George, you set your sights on Hong Kong this time, and you must be curious about Chinese culture." Adkins laughed.
"It is true that I have always been interested in Chinese culture. But when it comes to business matters, hehe, I have never liked to mix personal feelings into it."
Soros took a sip of the old Moutai in front of him, then closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair with a look of enjoyment: "In terms of business, business, and business, the only thing that can influence my decision is The two factors of profit and loss."
Glancing at Akins, Soros asked, "Is everything ready?"
Akins also took a sip of Moutai, nodded and said: "It's almost, conservatively estimated, the total amount of hot money from various countries following us this time
At least it broke through the $100 billion mark.
Except for the few banks that promised to act as our financial backing, most of the other main constituent forces are those fund organizations that want a piece of the pie.
And in my estimation, there must be many Chinese people in those fund organizations, and these guys know how to make money when the country is in trouble. "
Soros laughed when he heard the words: "China has never lacked traitors. In terms of unity, they are not as good as us Jews."
Although Akins on the opposite side did not show any clues, he secretly sneered at Soros' words in his heart: When it comes to traitors, you Jews are not much better than the Chinese. His own compatriots were killed.
But Soros is his boss, so of course Akins will not say these words.
I only heard Adkins say: "Mr. George, are you and Mr. Julian really so confident in this operation?
You know, the foreign exchange reserves of China and Hong Kong are the second and third largest in the world. Our previous offensive was just a test, and they have not stepped on their bottom line, so they didn't make any big moves.
However, if we attack aggressively, both China and Hong Kong will fight back.
Today's China, its economic strength is not comparable to that of England back then, can we still win so easily? "
Seeing Soros take out a cigar, the bodyguard next to him immediately lit it for him.
Soros took two puffs of the cigar enjoying himself, exhaling a puff of smoke from his nose.
Said: "Although China has a history of civilization a few years ago, when it comes to the history of capital finance, they are much shorter than ours.
Their financial market order is still far behind. If we don't take advantage of the present to kill them, do we really have to wait for their financial order to be improved before doing it?
Especially not long after Hong Kong's return to China, China will definitely not let Hong Kong's economy collapse. In Chinese language, this situation is a "throwing mouse". "
He looked at the cloud of smoke that he exhaled, and seemed to be talking to himself: "Besides, this action is not entirely a private action of the people.
Behind us is the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. Compared with the Federal Reserve Bank, the foreign exchange reserves of China and Hong Kong are nothing. "
Akins nodded, agreeing with Soros' point of view.
Looking at the ferocious lion puffing clouds and fog in front of him, and looking at the night view of Tsim Sha Tsui outside, Akins thought to himself: This lion is about to come out to hunt again. Hong Kong is about to usher in a bloody storm. .
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Ling seems to be there too.
Work for a financial investment company here in Hong Kong. "Akins said suddenly.
And the person he said was not
Not the well-known sons of Soros, but the illegitimate children known to only a few people.
Like many other successful men, Soros is also a romantic man, and he is really talented, so he has more than one woman by his side no matter before or after marriage.
However, in addition to those legal children, Soros has only one illegitimate child, who was born to a female singer when he was forty years old.
At that time, Soros also wanted to take his son back home, but the female singer asked Soros to divorce his first wife and stay with her. Since Soros refused, she left without saying goodbye. Even if Soros found her later, she would Still refused to go back with Soros.
In desperation, Soros could only visit their mother and child every once in a while and satisfy all their material needs.
Compared with his legitimate sons, Soros likes his illegitimate son, because that illegitimate son is a genius in financial operations like him, and has almost received all of Soros' true biography.
But he didn't know whether it was influenced by his mother or his own opinion. He still didn't like Soros, and he didn't even recognize Soros as his father.
After graduating from university, he did not accept Soros' invitation to work at the Quantum Fund, but found his own way to venture outside. Apart from knowing his general whereabouts, Soros hadn't seen him for a year.
And the existence of this illegitimate child, apart from Soros' best friends and confidantes like Adkins, even his wife and children don't know about it, which shows its secret.
Seeing Akins mentioning it, Soros shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen him for a whole year. I only know that he has come to Hong Kong since the year before last to work in a financial investment company."
"There don't seem to be any large-scale investment firms in Hong Kong, they are just regional branches of some investment companies."
Akins said: "Mr. Ling is so talented, he shouldn't give in to a local company in Hong Kong, right? If it's another multinational investment firm, with his talent, he shouldn't stay in the regional branch."
"Oh, I don't know." Talking about his illegitimate son, Soros had a headache. Not only did his illegitimate son not only have financial talents not inferior to his own.
Even that personality is exactly the same. Didn't I also reject my father's request to inherit the family business back then and come out to make a living? They are all equally stubborn.
He said: "But from his point of view, even if the investment company is not well-known now, it definitely has extraordinary development potential. Otherwise, how can he stay there for a long time."
Adkins tentatively said: "Now we are about to launch an attack on Hong Kong's stock market and foreign exchange market. As a financial investment company, the company where Young Master Ling works will definitely be deeply affected. Do you want us to
Remind him? lest he..."
But Soros waved his hand: "No need, he chose the path himself, since he chose this path, he should be responsible for his choice.
I said that personal feelings should not be mixed in business, otherwise things will easily go wrong. What's more.
Take this as his experience. Only if he can fly against the wind in the rainstorm and sail against the current in the waves can he survive in this financial market, even my son Soros is no exception. "
Although Soros spoke in a high-sounding manner, Akins knew in his heart that Soros was probably deliberately frustrating his son.
When he was hit hard and desperate, he would naturally return to Soros' side. No matter how powerful Soros is, he is still a father after all, and he will inevitably be vulgar in the end.
"Huh? What's going on? Why don't you let us go there?"
At this moment, Soros and Akins heard a young male voice: "If you don't want to be disturbed, then simply book this entire restaurant, otherwise, you seem to have no right to stop us from spending here Bar."
Soros followed the prestige, and saw a handsome and upright oriental boy arguing with his bodyguard.
