In the lounge of the 747 luxury private jet, Chen Hongtao was leaning on the leather sofa looking a little lazy.
Looking at Mr. Wei opposite, who had all white hair and eyes filled with anticipation, Chen Hongtao couldn't help but smile: "We'll arrive in Hong Kong soon."
"Boss, are you wondering why I still have to go through so much trouble at such an old age?" Although Mr. Wei's face was full of wrinkles, he spoke with great energy.
Chen Hongtao looked at Mr. Wei and smiled lightly, as if waiting for him to continue.
"I still like the capital market. Strong opponents can bring me passion. That's what I have been fighting for all my life!" Mr. Wei said excitedly.
Hearing Mr. Wei¡¯s statement, Chen Hongtao¡¯s face showed an unabashed sigh.
¡°I am afraid that only traders like Mr. Wei can say that they have been fighting in the capital market all their lives.
With so many years of capital transactions, Mr. Wei has experienced battles large and small that many young investors cannot imagine. He has fought bloody battles all the way through the ups and downs, and he is a well-deserved warrior.
In Mingzhu Holdings, although Mr. Wei is not the investment minister, everyone respects him very much.
"Mr. Wei, you have opened your own investment company in recent years, so the situation should be pretty good, right?" Chen Hongtao lit a cigar and said to the old man with a smile.
Mr. Wei was a little excited: "The record is not bad. Generally speaking, we are outperforming. This feeling of guiding the country is really great."
"Mr. Wei, you have a high fighting spirit. Your previous investment in TECO should have made a lot of gains in the process of blocking the British pound, right?" Chen Hongtao asked with a smile like a casual chat.
"I followed him in the car, but the key is that those driving are domineering!" Mr. Wei smiled brightly.
¡°It¡¯s been a while since I¡¯ve seen Evan and Megan. I don¡¯t know how they¡¯re doing lately.¡± Chen Hongtao had an ungrateful smile on his face.
Mr. Wei seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but laugh: "Only that woman Megan can control him. It's really scary to see her eating bananas!"
"Haha~~~ I heard that Evan also set up an investment company with a rather stinky name. What is it called Tomahawk? That guy really doesn't know what low-key is!" Chen Hongtao laughed unscrupulously.
"It's just a bluff. Not long ago, I chased that boy Evan for speculating on international gold. Boss, you didn't even see him flattering me and begging for peace." Mr. Wei looked very happy.
"It's so shameless, and he dares to shout like this. His signature combination of moves and punches makes people want to laugh when they see it" Chen Hongtao was lying on the sofa with a strange look on his face.
"Boss, do you really want to prevent this Southeast Asian financial crisis?" Mr. Wei asked Chen Hongtao curiously.
Chen Hongtao shook his head: "It's not the Southeast Asian financial crisis. This financial tsunami has now swept across Asia and formed an attack chain. Even if the Hong Kong financial market can hold on for a while, this financial crisis will not stop, and in our case It is estimated that the storm may continue to blow for some time. It will not stop for a year and a half!"
Mr. Wei was a lot more cautious: "If you follow what the boss says, some people may still think about this financial crisis too simply and optimistically!"
"Now it seems that this storm is only the first stage. In July, Thailand announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate, which triggered the financial crisis throughout Southeast Asia. Under the influence of the sharp fluctuations of the Thai baht, The Philippine peso, Indonesian rupiah, and Malaysian ringgit, which are related to other currencies, have all become targets of attack by international speculators. The collapse of the monetary systems of various countries will only make the situation more serious and worsen." Chen Hongtao said with emotion and a smile.
Mr. Wei nodded: "The rapid economic development will inevitably be accompanied by loopholes. During this period, under the crazy impact of international speculators, Malaysia has given up its efforts to defend the ringgit, and the Singapore dollar, which has always been strong, has also been affected. At the moment The wave of this financial tsunami has already hit Hong Kong. This is really a storm about to come, and even before the war begins. Investors in Hong Kong are showing panic, and the authorities are also extremely anxious."
Chen Hongtao said with a joking smile: "After these international speculators have tasted the sweetness in Thailand and Malaysia, they will naturally switch to Hong Kong. Now that Hong Kong has just returned to China not long ago, as long as this financial market, which occupies an important position in the world, is damaged, it will cause damage to China. If it is involved, then many international speculators can complete the sweep in Asia, and there will be no strong opponents that can compete with the ferocity of the storm."
"The mainland's foreign exchange reserves are quite good, and they have actively stated that the RMB will not depreciate and are pegged to the Hong Kong dollar. In addition, the economic foundations of South Korea and Japan are still relatively strong. I think those international speculators want to destroy this front. Isn't it that easy?" Mr. Wei's eyes were full of inquiry.
¡°An attack chain like this?, it is not the same as the domino law. When it cannot be pushed overnight, it is very important to choose where to push it to create a correlation effect. It is important to segment the large economic strategic pattern and find the weakest point. What really fierce guys pay attention to is that if you want to attack the economy of a region, you don't have to do it within this specific range. You can achieve better results by choosing weak points to attack. "Chen Hongtao said with a smile.
Mr. Wei thought for a while: "Since the Japanese financial market was hit one after another in the late 1980s, the Japanese authorities have become much more cautious. The financial regulations that have been introduced successively in recent years have indeed caused obstacles to the strong operation of international speculators and have reached the level of wind protection. The effect, but where is the point the boss mentioned?"
"Even if Hong Kong has the support of a strong RMB, it will still be under heavy pressure when the currency situation of surrounding countries is not optimistic, because the Hong Kong dollar is not only linked to the US dollar and the RMB, but is just as important as the relationship between the Taiwan dollar and the Hong Kong dollar. If the Taiwan dollar falls and depreciates significantly, , will soon increase the pressure and affect the sensitive nerves of Hong Kong's financial market." Chen Hongtao's statement made Mr. Wei shake slightly.
Thinking of Chen Hongtao¡¯s connection with the American capitalist political order, Mr. Wei even wondered whether this terrible boss had received some information and knew something in advance.
"I have to admit that Japan's financial market has held up well in recent years. However, in my opinion, if a serious attack is launched, Japan's financial market will not be monolithic and can be completely penetrated. The most important point is actually In South Korea, there is no wind-proof capability for the Japanese regional economy. In addition, some people have underestimated the financial crisis and are easily attacked by international speculators. Once the Korean won is in crisis, it will affect Japan, which has a large investment in South Korea. The financial industry has caused a series of banks and securities companies to go bankrupt one after another. If the time comes and we attack Japan, the most powerful capital defense lines in Asia will soon be torn apart by the storm-like attack." Chen Hongtao looked calm. Yun Dan, but Mr. Wei was extremely disappointed.
"If other points such as Thailand and Malaysia are involved, wouldn't the effects and momentum of this financial crisis become more and more intense?" Mr. Wei swallowed his saliva and said dryly.
"That is inevitable, Mr. Wei. Those who have expectations for me all think that as long as I come to Hong Kong, this storm will be calmed down. Little do they know that this bloody battle will last for a long time! How can it be resolved in one or two days? All problems arise. The Asian economic system is now full of loopholes. With the mobility of many international speculators, they can mobilize huge combat power in one day to hit any target in the entire Asian economic circle, even the financial institutions of some countries. The market is not open to the outside world, and with the economic collapse of some surrounding countries, it will also cause difficulties in foreign trade import and export, and will be implicated in a sharp economic decline, companies will go bankrupt, and investments will disappear. I am afraid that when this big storm comes, many people will die. I can't afford to die!" Chen Hongtao said slowly with a slight smile.
"Boss, what role will the International Monetary Organization play in the Asian financial crisis this time?" Wei Laoyi thought of the disintegration of the Soviet Union. It seems a little sensitive and vigilant.
"What do you think? Whether it is the International Monetary Organization or some important banking institutions such as the Federal Reserve, they are not run by us. In general, we must find a balance of interests for all parties." Chen Hongtao smiled slightly. road.
When Chen Hongtao and Mr. Wei were joking on the private plane, many big shots were already waiting for Chen Hongtao's arrival at Kai Tak International Airport in Kowloon City, Hong Kong.
Unlike some dark-colored, solemn and anxious political and business leaders, Evan and Meghan were laughing and laughing in front of the terminal.
"Little Cath, what do you think the boss is here for? I heard that your father, Old Bloomer, seems to have evil intentions to attack the Hong Kong financial market. This time the boss is invited out, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you!" Evan looked wretched. , smiled at the mature and beautiful woman in her thirties.
¡°It¡¯s been nine years, but I didn¡¯t expect that when the waves were crashing on the rocks and the Hong Kong financial market was facing a tsunami, they could actually invite the boss here!¡± Kath¡¯s eyes moved, and her words were full of emotion.
"How about it, do you dare to come here and fight? Sir, my ax has been thirsty for a long time, and I will follow the boss's footsteps to the death." Evan joked to Kath with a arrogant look on his face. .
"You are so rude, call me Miss Cath from now on. Also, I am not very familiar with a salty uncle like you." Cath said to Evan with some annoyance.
"You actually spoke rudely to me, who has such a high status. Do you believe that I will cut down your Field Fund?" Evan grinned and forgot what he was doing, and was punched on the waist by Megan with a big fist.
Far away, everyone had already seen a light blue airliner.With a whirring sound, it landed on the runway of Kai Tak International Airport.
"Even if the boss comes, he can't save the Hong Kong financial market. I don't believe how long he will stay here. I have contacted the boss through satellite video before. This time he goes out to walk around. Communicate and communicate with the heads of some major related families and institutions." Kath glared at Evan with disdain.
Evan had a bad smile on his face: "Speaking of which, the boss came just in time this time. Taiwan suddenly abandoned the exchange rate of the New Taiwan Dollar, and the boss arrived in Hong Kong. I really want to see Byron, who is preparing to launch a battle at the Stock Exchange. Everyone¡¯s expressions!¡±
"The self-operated market of Mingzhu Holdings has not been operating for so many years. I think the boss will not enter the market to protect the market at this time. As long as the situation is not too extreme, even if the boss comes, it is impossible to violate the inherent laws of financial operation and treat many international speculators. It poses too much of a threat." Kath gave the hateful Evan a hateful look.
"I'm reminding you because we have a good relationship, so that old Bloomer won't get too proud and get killed." When Evan got in the car, he didn't forget to show a hateful face to Kath.
Before Chen Hongtao¡¯s private plane even lowered the ramp, many luxury cars drove onto the runway. Waiting for Chen Hongtao to get off the plane early.
The sky was a bit gloomy early in the morning, as if the Hong Kong financial market was under tremendous pressure at this time.
When Qiao Ruoyu showed up first to help Chen Hongtao off the plane, a woman had already led everyone forward and stood in two rows not far from the gangway to wait.
Everyone is familiar with the woman wearing a black business suit. She is the secretary to the new Chief Executive of Hong Kong.
Chen Hongtao smiled calmly and stepped off the plane to shake hands with the pick-up staff, appearing very cordial.
¡°Compared with many outsiders¡¯ previous impressions of Chen Hongtao¡¯s youth, he now looks more like a man in his thirties with a stubble.
Facing Chen Hongtao¡¯s smile. Li Jiacheng and other business tycoons all had embarrassment hidden in their expressions.
During the conversation, no one mentioned the Hong Kong financial market. It was not until Chen Hongtao got into the white Rolls-Royce that the chief executive's secretary followed him.
"Secretary Lin, didn't I say hello and not let you come over?" Chen Hongtao smiled at the woman in her thirties with a somewhat domineering figure next to her.
"There is news from the country that everything is subject to Mr. Chen's arrangements. However, the current financial market situation is really not optimistic, and Chief Executive Cui Minhua is also very anxious. If it has caused any trouble to Mr. Chen, I am here to apologize to you." The woman A person's smile brings people a kind of affinity.
"Listen to my arrangements? Those old men are really good at calling people, and they usually stop squinting when something good happens!" Chen Hongtao's laughter made the woman's expression twitch slightly.
The woman did not dare to underestimate the political influence of the Chen family in the country.
Even though Mr. Chen is not here at this time, Chen Hongtao still has intricate relationships with some political families and powerful factions in the country.
"While you are in Hong Kong, you don't have to entertain me, and don't let anyone follow me." Chen Hongtao yawned and said with a smile.
"Mr. Chen, do you know? Taiwan has abandoned the exchange rate of the New Taiwan Dollar. This news has just come out. I am afraid it will have a great impact on the Hong Kong financial market. The market is about to open. What should we do?" The woman was a little confused. asked anxiously.
Chen Hongtao lit a cigar: "It's cold at high places. The Hong Kong stock market is currently above 16,000 points. This high level is like a bridgehead. Sooner or later, someone will knock it down. If you don't want the situation to get worse, you have to let go of the stock market first." Come down and find a way to achieve a soft landing for the financial market and the economy. When the outbreak of economic growth itself has huge hidden dangers, it is simply impossible to face those international speculators head-on."
"Because of the impact of the financial crisis, many investors are now panicked. If we don't respond at this time, and if those international speculators launch an attack, won't the market collapse? Should we adopt some strategies to boost investor confidence? ?" The woman was a little nervous.
"Policy support must be in line with the times. Hong Kong's stock market and real estate are now at a high level. Even sending a signal will have no effect. On the contrary, if shareholders of listed companies can consider increasing their holdings in an echelon structure, it will be able to Gather the popularity of some markets." Chen Hongtao looked amused.
"Let shareholders of listed companies increase their stock holdings? I'm afraid this will be difficult. This financial tsunami not only affects the capital market, but is also under pressure from the deterioration of foreign trade import and export in many aspects. The operations of listed companies are also becoming more and more difficult. The existing funds Very limited!" The woman looked embarrassed.
Chen Hongtao smiled: "ListingThe company has no money, and the wealth is in their own pockets. The powerful shareholders of various listed companies are all fat and oily. If the listed companies they control do not want to help themselves, then how can they rely on them? What about outsiders lending a helping hand? I don¡¯t want to sacrifice myself for others, so don¡¯t leave me in a high position standing guard! "
Hearing Chen Hongtao¡¯s unabashed statement, the woman opened her mouth and was too embarrassed to speak.
Although she had heard many rumors about Chen Hongtao before, it was only after this contact that the woman felt how unruly the man beside her was.
"If it were anyone else, she would never dare to speak like this to the chief executive's secretary, but the woman had to admit that Chen Hongtao was already polite to her.
When the woman heard this for the first time, she also secretly sighed that Chen Hongtao had such strength.
As far as the woman knows, Campelos Island has been Chen Hongtao¡¯s private island for so many years and has not become an independent kingdom. However, Chen Hongtao, who has lived in seclusion on the island for a long time without breaking away from society and the world economic order, has been able to The relationship between the various forces is terrible.
In the eyes of women, a terrifying capital giant like Chen Hongtao is not a king, but one of the uncrowned kings of the world political capital order.
The title Xiaoyao King is definitely well-deserved for Chen Hongtao.
"We have received news that some international speculators will enter the Stock Exchange today. I believe they will not miss this opportunity for the New Taiwan Dollar to abandon its defense, and will definitely launch a fierce attack on the stock and foreign exchange markets!" the woman asked Chen Hongtao anxiously.
Chen Hongtao didn't wear a watch either. He looked at the sky outside and said with a smile: "It should be almost the opening time of the stock market. Let's go directly to the Stock Exchange to see who is causing the financial crisis this time."
The woman¡¯s face showed joy and she quickly motioned to the driver to go to the Stock Exchange.
No matter whether Chen Hongtao protects the market or not, having such a financial king standing on the side of Hong Kong's economic system is a major pillar for the confidence of many parties. This potential deterrent cannot be measured by funds.
The luxury convoy drove slowly on the Guankuo road, with police motorcycles clearing the way in front, which was more eye-catching than the leader's visit. The white Rolls-Royce seemed to bring out a touch of flowing luster as it drove.
