Chapter 749 Who Is It?

In a luxurious office in Hong Kong's Central Plaza, George Soros is standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour.

He also had a thumb-thick cigar in his mouth, and the smoke was filled between the opening and closing of his lips. In the misty smoke, his eyes with bags under his eyes shone brightly from time to time.

Soros is the only person in this private office with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters. In the eyes of the general public who know his name but not him, he is a mysterious and powerful financial tycoon. In the eyes of friends and opponents, he is a stubborn And a paranoid dictator.

But in fact, he felt that he was like a child, sometimes enjoying the high honor, and liked the feeling of being watched and worshiped by thousands of people.

Sometimes I don't want the people around me to do everything possible to please and flatter me, and even lose my temper because of a certain compliment from someone.

"People are complicated and difficult to understand. Sometimes even I don't know what I want." Soros muttered to himself, and the beautiful Victorian scenery in front of him seemed to become confusing and unpredictable.

Christopher Adkins knocked on the door at this time and walked in. With his back facing Soros, he held a cigar and exhaled a wisp of white smoke. He said slowly, "How is it? How's the situation outside?"

The expression on Akins's face was still so gloomy, but he couldn't see any joy or anger, and said in a blunt tone: "The Hong Kong government has almost all the Hong Kong dollars we sold.

Not only our Quantum Fund, but also Julian Robertson's Tiger Fund and other speculative funds sell the same Hong Kong dollars.

In the past two days, almost 48 billion Hong Kong dollars were sold by all funds, and the Hong Kong government took in 44 billion, stabilizing the Hong Kong dollar and its exchange rate. "

"In this way, we, Julian and the others will lose more than three billion Hong Kong dollars this time? Well, our Quantum Fund will account for five or six billion of them." Soros did not turn around, still looking out of the window. sea ​​view.

"Yes, today is the settlement day of our futures contracts. According to statistics, our Quantum Fund will lose more than 560 million Hong Kong dollars, and Tiger Fund will lose more than 520 million Hong Kong dollars. Other fund industries have more or less Less to lose."

Akins said with a sinking face: "This time, I wanted to catch the Hong Kong government by surprise and have a warm-up match for our general attack next month, but I didn't expect the Hong Kong government to react so quickly."

Within two days, Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund lost a total of more than one billion Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong dollar and its exchange rate futures.

But the bosses of the two most famous hedge funds on Wall Street didn't care, because their purpose of raiding Hong Kong this time was not for money, but for ulterior motives.

As Soros's most capable assistant, Adkins, who participated in the whole plan, knew very well that the two crocodiles who acted as the leading generals were trying to damage the morale of Hong Kong.

The so-called brave man wins when he meets on a narrow road, and his morale is strong when he is one, declines when he is second, and exhausts when he is third. The purpose of Soros and Julian is to hit Hong Kong's morale and frustrate its edge, and the next big battle will be against them. This side is more favorable.

But there is one thing that Adkins is puzzled: "According to our speculation, the Hong Kong government should not be so quick to make up its mind to fight back against us in such a short period of time, and they bought those Hong Kong dollars with US dollars in foreign exchange reserves." .

We must know that the US dollars in foreign exchange reserves are the most powerful weapon to defend their financial economy. If there are fewer US dollars in reserves, their strength will be weaker.

Under the premise that the situation is unclear, especially when the small shareholders in Hong Kong are still waiting and watching, I believe that even the central government of China will not make up its mind in such a short period of time.

What prompted the Hong Kong government to react immediately and take all the Hong Kong dollars we threw out? "

"Akins, do you know the despair of those Hong Kong citizens who bought long contracts when we started selling Hong Kong dollars in the market the day before yesterday?" Soros did not answer Akins directly, but proposed another question.

Akins nodded: "I know, some investors who bought a lot even committed suicide."

Thinking of this, Adkins has to sigh. Two days ago, those small investors who were long Hong Kong dollar futures were desperate because a large number of Hong Kong dollars were sold off in the market.

Because as long as the Hong Kong dollar depreciates, the futures contracts in their hands will become a sharp knife to kill them, especially those who have invested most of their net worth.

Through the leverage effect of futures contracts, the debts they have to bear are difficult to pay off in a lifetime.

Individuals who couldn’t accept it ended up committing suicide. Unexpectedly, on today’s contract settlement day, the Hong Kong dollar not only did not depreciate, but also rose slightly, making those who were long the Hong Kong dollar make a small profit, and those who committed suicide because of this , but died too unjustly.

Akins didn't understand why Soros mentioned this matter, because following Soros for many years, Akins knew that he was definitely not the kind of person who used to sympathize with the weak.

I only heard Soros say: "At that time, those who held long contracts went around looking for someone to buy their contracts.

However, we have sold so many Hong Kong dollars. In the eyes of everyone, the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar is almost a foregone conclusion. How can anyone shoot themselves in the foot and go long Hong Kong dollars?

At that time, I also hated these small investors who were extremely vulnerable to the environment, and they were simply wasting their efforts.

But things are so strange that some people are really willing to buy those long futures contracts. Although the purchase price is only a fraction of the original contract price, the sum of these is not a small amount. "

akins

Hearing the clue, he asked, "Is it the same agency that bought those contracts?"

"No, it's a contract assignment between private individuals."

Soros said lightly: "However, I think those retail investors should follow the orders of a certain institution or someone to buy these contracts.

At that time, I vaguely felt that our 'warm-up match' this time might not go as smoothly as planned, sure enough. "

"Impossible, if the Hong Kong government bought those contracts secretly, it means that they had an insight into our purpose when we first started selling Hong Kong dollars.

But this is impossible. If they had known our plan long ago, they would not have bought contracts from those small investors. Wouldn’t this be tantamount to taking the interests of the people onto themselves?

If people find out, the credibility of their government will be destroyed. "

Soros smiled: "I also guess that this will not be the work of the Hong Kong government."

Akins frowned, and said: "That's someone else, could it be from our side?

But this is even more inappropriate. If it is someone from our side, how would they know that the Hong Kong government will respond immediately to stabilize the Hong Kong dollar? "

Squeezing out the cigar in the ashtray, Soros sat on a chair and said, "He is a person who can understand our purpose and know how the Hong Kong government will react.

And judging from the futures contracts he bought from small investors at a low price, this person is also a cruel and ruthless person, and he is not burdened by superfluous kindness at all. "

Akins was stunned. Soros said it easily, but he was able to understand the motive here and accurately infer the reaction of the Hong Kong government. I am afraid that even Soros and Julian could not do it. Otherwise, Quantum Fund and Tiger The fund will not lose money.

What kind of person would it be to have such an almost monstrous talent?

"There is also an expert who we don't know."

Soros leaned back on the chair, the smile on his face could not tell whether it was worry or expectation: "This person, in this warm-up match with the Hong Kong government, the profit should be about three billion Hong Kong dollars, which is almost the same as our loss. The numbers were flat.

However, this person's insight into the financial market is really amazing. "

"Then which side do you think he'll be on?"

Akins asked nervously, "Is he from Hong Kong, or is he a speculator who just wants to fish in troubled waters?"

Soros slightly looked up at the exquisitely decorated ceiling above, as if he was talking to himself: "It would be better if he is just a speculator who benefits from it and will not participate in the battle, or it would be better if he simply joins us." .

I'm afraid that he is from China. This kind of person who does things by unscrupulous means and has a clear purpose is the most terrifying.

Moreover, once a person with this talent joins the war, they will help us to even out the battle situation this time.

Add many variables. "

Akins was so surprised that it was not because of the talent of the mysterious man, but because of Soros' reaction at this time.

Having been by Soros' side for so many years, Akins has never seen Soros like this, with excitement in fear and anxiety in anticipation. Complicated emotions that only appear in opponents before.

Even in the face of Julian, who is said to be on par with Soros, Soros is not what he is now.

In Adkins' impression, the only time Soros experienced such emotions was when he met Warren Buffett, the man known by the world as the "stock god".

It's just that Warren Buffett's businesses rarely overlap with those of Soros or Julian, otherwise, what a wonderful financial battle it would be.

"Akins, please help me make an appointment with Julian, I think he should also want to meet with me now." Soros said, pulling back Akins' somewhat chaotic thoughts.

Akins nodded, and left the office to contact Julian Robertson.

Soros turned around and looked at the magnificent seascape outside again, and murmured, "Who the hell is that? I really want to meet him."
