tiebreaker 1
On August 27, 1998, on the eve of the August futures settlement, the Hong Kong government and the Soros Group both took the stance of a decisive battle. On this day, the global financial market was generally in a downturn. And the Latin American stock market also fell by 3% to 8%. The situation facing Hong Kong is very serious.
Especially because the stock price of "Yuanzhong Resources" fell sharply for the fourth consecutive day, which pulled down the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index a lot. Under the leadership of Zhou Hao, Zeng Yingquan and others, the Hong Kong government injected more than one hundred billion Hong Kong dollars, but it can only boost the Hang Seng Index by a few dozen points, with little effect.
"Our news, at 10:13 this morning, the Quantum Fund announced that the Hong Kong government will be defeated." The major TV stations in Hong Kong reported this news one after another: "The Quantum Fund represents the views and positions of George Soros. It is unheard of and unprecedented for Soros to openly challenge a government in the name of a certain company or some people, and threaten to defeat the government. Condemn and question this arrogant move."
With Quantum Fund’s declaration of war, the group of speculators headed by Soros also immediately launched a large-scale sell-off of Hong Kong dollars and attacked several large-scale blue-chip stocks and state-owned enterprise stocks such as "Yuanzhong Resources", further suppressing the Hong Kong stock market.
Faced with such a severe situation, everyone in the Hong Kong government was nervous and anxious, especially Chief Executive Dong and Zeng Yingquan, because if Hong Kong was defeated, they would be the ones who would bear the greatest responsibility besides Zhou Hao.
"Xiao Hao, those bastards of Soros are attacking very strongly, and it is very difficult for us to resist!" Zeng Yingquan gave Zhou Hao the latest data, and said with a heavy face, "What should we do? If the stock market does not improve again , our chances of winning will be much smaller."
Zhou Hao was as calm as water, and said indifferently: "Don't worry, we will win the final victory."
"But the situation is now like this, how can I not worry!" Zeng Yingquan finally lost his composure to Zhou Hao's stereotyped answer. After all, this matter is related to the luck of the whole Hong Kong, so Zeng Yingquan couldn't help but not be nervous.
Seeing that Zeng Yingquan was really in a hurry, Zhou Hao showed a smile: "Uncle Quan, the more urgent something is, the less urgent it is."
"But, but..." Zeng Yingquan really didn't know what to say at this moment, if he really lost, then he couldn't atone for his sin by jumping off the building.
Zhou Hao raised his hand and said with a smile, "It's not the last moment, just wait a little longer, and everything will be settled tomorrow."
Seeing the appearance of Zhou Hao, the old god, Zeng Ying felt sorry for the plenary meeting, and couldn't help guessing in his heart that Zhou Hao, or that the central government might still recruit to deal with Soros and the others, and since Zhou Hao was so calm, It's no use worrying yourself blindly.
But to be honest, take it easy
Even Zeng Yingquan and the others couldn't do it, they could only spend the last day before the decisive battle with anxiety. And on August 27th, the Hong Kong government injected more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars into the stock market. The Hang Seng Index finally rose by 78 points, but it was still much lower than the target of Zeng Yingquan and others. In this situation, Hong Kong is about to lose.
And that night, the whole of Hong Kong seemed to be shrouded in a haze, and the whole city fell silent, without the bustle and bustle of the past, as if preparing for the decisive battle between the Hong Kong government and the Soros Group tomorrow.
There was nothing to say all night, and the 28th will soon be the day, which is the final futures settlement deadline.
Although the Hong Kong government has brought huge sums of money into the market since the opening of the market, spending more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in less than half a day, but under the fierce attack of the Soros Group, the market still has no improvement.
"This time it's over. Hong Kong is about to lose. You see, the government can't support it at all. It's being suppressed by Soros and the others."
"I lost hundreds of thousands in the stock market before. If the government is defeated again this time, our company will go bankrupt and we will lose our jobs."
"Oh, it's so miserable. In this way, our Hong Kong economy may go backwards for more than ten years."
The citizens of Hong Kong are watching this final battle nervously, because Hong Kong's success or failure is closely related to them. Although Hong Kong's defeat will not cause them immediate economic losses, the Exchange Fund and Land Fund are Hong Kong's assets. Once the loss is heavy, A number of infrastructure projects led by the government will be forced to suspend, and the social welfare and security of Hong Kong citizens will be greatly weakened. In particular, Hong Kong's economic environment and investment environment will decline. This kind of macro regression is the most terrifying.
Zeng Yingquan and the others in the Monetary Authority were also dejected and haggard. Looking at the constantly jumping numbers on the display board, Zeng Yingquan even had the urge to jump out of the window here. And Chief Executive Dong over there also sat slumped on a chair without saying a word, his desolate and haggard look made people heartbroken.
Most of the high-ranking Hong Kong government officials present were like this, only Zhou Hao and Qin Donghai who knew the inside story could keep calm as always, and Zhou Hao did not go to comfort Zeng Yingquan and others this time, because he went to comfort them at this time, They might explode immediately. After all, they have heard too many words of comfort. The only thing that can cheer them up now is the actual situation of bringing the dead back to life.
On the other side, seeing the Hong Kong stock market retreating steadily, Soros, Julian and others cheered endlessly. Some people even celebrated in advance by opening champagne. After all, they also went through a wave of intense and severe battles during these days.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, Soros also came to Willie Worth with a wine glass.
, smiled at him: "Willie, it's almost over, we will be able to go back to the United States soon, and you haven't been back to see your mother for a long time
Damn it, come back with me this time to see her, and let our family reunite. "
Thinking of his mother who was still in the United States, Willie Worth had warmth in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Yeah, after this time, it's time to go back and see my mother."
Hearing that Willie Wentz was willing to go back to the United States with him, Soros was even happier, and said to Adkins beside him: "Let the people below step up the offensive, I will use a big victory to celebrate the reunion of my family! "
But at this moment, a trader stumbled in, looked around for something, and when he saw Soros, he immediately ran over and pushed the others away, causing a commotion. scold.
Seeing this flustered trader, Soros' face darkened, feeling a bad premonition in his heart, while Willie Wentz next to him, on the contrary, showed a sincerely relieved expression after seeing this trader.
"George...Mr. George...Russia...Hoohoo...Russia..." Panting, he said to Soros intermittently: "The Russian government has just announced that it will expand the floating range of the ruble to dollar exchange rate to 6.0- 9.5:1, at the same time postpone the repayment of foreign debts and suspend the trading of government bonds and securities, the ruble depreciated by more than 80%, and the Russian stock and foreign exchange markets plummeted!"
"What?" The faces of all the people present who heard this changed greatly.
It was Soros and Julian who were the first to react. Julian quickly walked over and grabbed the trader forcefully and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why did the Russian government suddenly make such a decision? Why did the financial oligarchs in Russia Didn't hear the news? You bastard is a spy sent by Zhou Hao!"
"No... no, Mr. Robertson, I, I'm not a spy." The trader quickly denied it.
Soros asked someone to turn on the TV immediately, and sent someone to contact the US head office to confirm the news.
What is playing on the TV is the news report of Asia TV: "The news from this station, the Russian government spokesperson announced a decision earlier, announcing that the exchange rate fluctuation range of the ruble to the US dollar will be expanded to 6.0-9.5:1, and the repayment of foreign debts will be postponed. , while trading in treasury bonds was suspended.
When the news from the Russian government came out, the ruble immediately depreciated by more than 80%, and the Russian stock market plummeted by 15% within an hour!
At the same time, the Russian authorities today arrested Galvenz Montorovsky and Formikir Ogaev, who are members of Far East Bank of Russia and Siberia Bank, on charges of tax evasion and illegal stock market manipulation. The group chairman of the United Petroleum Corporation is one of the few rich men in Russia..."
Watching the news reports on TV, Soros, Julian and other core personnel were stunned, not only because the Russian government announced to change the floating range of the ruble exchange rate, but also because Montorovsky and Oga husband
was arrested because these two Russian tycoons were the financial oligarchs who colluded with Soros and the others.
Almost at the same time, Adkins also hurried over and said to Solo: "Mr. George, the United States has confirmed the news from the Russian government. The Russian government bonds and ruble futures we bought before are now It's all turned into waste paper, and our Quantum Fund has lost more than five billion U.S. dollars!"
Adkins' words caused an uproar in the crowd. Even the Quantum Fund lost more than five billion US dollars, and the other hedge funds were even more miserable.
Julian's face was also very ugly, because the assistant just told him that the loss of Tiger Fund in Russia was close to 6 billion US dollars, which was not much different from the loss of Quantum Fund!
