Luxury cars gathered at Exchange Square in Central. As the Pearl Holdings motorcade drove into the square, another group of luxury cars also drove in from another entrance of the square, seemingly coincidentally.
¡°Here it comes~~~¡± Seeing the two motorcades driving into the square together, there was some faint commotion among the Hong Kong political and business leaders waiting in front of the Stock Exchange.
The doors of luxury cars opened one after another. Under the guidance of the female receptionist, Chen Hongtao stepped out of the car. He had already seen a group of international speculators composed of foreigners in the distance, and they also stepped out of the car one after another.
Finding that Byron was in the camp of international speculators, he made a goat horn gesture towards him. Chen Hongtao just smiled and walked towards the gate of the Stock Exchange.
"I'm going to be cremated!" A young trader from the Stock Exchange said in shock as he watched Pearl Holdings and people from the international speculator camp walking together. He quickly stepped back.
"They are all Freemasons." An old trader seemed to have noticed something, and nervously explained to the young man next to him in a low voice.
Arriving in front of the Stock Exchange, Byron had a lewd smile on his face. He approached Chen Hongtao and whispered, "Chen, I'm really sorry. My original intention was not to ruin your exit from the market."
Seeing the evil smile in Byron's eyes, Chen Hongtao looked lazy: "It's really unfriendly!"
"It's rare for you to come out of Campelos Island. We gave you enough face today and sent out all the troops. I don't know if you can handle it. Winnie seems to want to tear you apart!" Byron took a look. Winnie glared at Chen Hongtao fiercely and joked with a smile.
"Mingzhu Holdings is also very impressive, not falling behind at all" Just as Chen Hongtao smiled bitterly. There was a faint commotion.
"How rude!"
"Scum"
Looking back, I saw Evan behind me, doing a combination of punches and occasionally raising his middle finger to the international speculators. Even the unruly Chen Hongtao couldn't help but darken his face.
"Damn, this shameful guy came out of nowhere, pretending not to know him." While Chen Hongtao was wailing in his heart, he quickly turned around and walked towards the trading floor, signaling Eve to light a big cigar for him.
In the foolish eyes of a young trader. The old trader beside him reminded him in a low voice: "Don't look at that person's behavior. Including him, those five people are all generals of the self-operated department of Pearl Holdings. Since the disbandment of the self-operated department of Pearl Holdings, those All five of them went out and set up their own businesses. They are all great guys in the international capital market. They are institutional devourers, similar to the existence of warmongers in the capital market."
"Mr. Chen, the long-awaited red vest" The woman Lin Lan took the red vest No. 0001 from the exchange staff and handed it to Chen Hongtao with a smile.
"It's been a long time since I've been out of the market. I haven't made much preparation, Eve. Let Mr. Wei wear the red vest." Chen Hongtao did not accept the red vest, but smiled politely and declined in the awkward eyes of the chief executive's secretary.
Seeing that the large electronic trading screen had been turned on and the time displayed in Arabic numerals was only nine in the morning, which was still early for the official opening of the Hong Kong stock market, Chen Hongtao smiled and asked Kath: "Don't you have to go to Old Bloomer's place?"
"I only follow the boss." Kath said with a sweet smile without any hesitation.
Not only many traders from the Stock Exchange, but also Hong Kong political and business leaders met the foreigners on the international speculators side for the first time.
In the perception of many people, the leader of the Asian financial crisis is George, who is at the helm of the Quantum Fund. Soros. But I didn't expect that many unfamiliar faces would suddenly appear on the Stock Exchange today.
¡°Compared with Byron and other international speculators who used to hide in the shadows, Soros, standing among the crowd, seems inconspicuous.
Feeling Chen Hongtao¡¯s gaze, Wen Niyu slapped her index finger downwards, as if she was going to challenge the entire Hong Kong financial order and Chen Hongtao.
Although the market was not open, Lin Lan and other Hong Kong political and business figures felt the strange atmosphere in the trading floor. Still seemed a little nervous.
Compared with the luxurious lineup of international speculator groups, Hong Kong¡¯s local financial institutions appear to be much weaker.
"What should we do? We simply can't see enough!" Li Wenfu, chairman of Tianyuan Securities, gave Guan Yingpei next to him an anxious look.
"Don't worry too much. Don't we also have a strong person here who is unmoved by the news!" Li Ying seemed to have discovered the worries of her father Li Wenfu, and looked at Chen Hongtao to express comfort.
¡°As the heads of local financial institutions in Hong Kong observe the international speculator group, there seems to be no final consensus among the foreigners¡¯ camp.
"Byron, why did Chen come to Hong Kong? This was not expected." Marshall said.?He feels worried but looks calm on the outside.
¡°After all, he is still a Chinese, and this sense of belonging to the country cannot be abandoned.¡± Byron sighed with a smile.
"After finally waiting for the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar to fall, he appears. This is really not a good thing. In Hong Kong, a market with limited capital carrying capacity, it is impossible for us to defeat him. This will affect our overall situation. Plan." Nicole glared at Chen Hongtao in the distance with some annoyance.
Byron's face has become serious: "To be on the safe side, we should observe the situation first, but I think no matter how strong he is, he will not violate the inherent laws of Asia's financial operations. Now that the fire has been lit, he will force his way out." If you pounce, it will only set you on fire!"
"Don't be fooled by him. We are operating according to the plan. I know him too well. The Hong Kong stock market is at a high level now and he will not resist." Winnie stared at Chen Hongtao who was smiling in the distance. road.
"We have little chance of operating in a competition. Whether it is futures or the currency market, Pearl Holdings has a geographical advantage. Our best way is to rely on it." Julian, the head of Tiger Fund. Robertson seems extremely sensible.
"Do you mean to wait for him to leave Hong Kong?" Old Bloomer from the Field Fund Company's eyes lit up.
At this moment, Nicole couldn't help but smile: "Chen will indeed not stay in Hong Kong for long. Next, he will have a trip to the United States, to the headquarters of the Federal Reserve and the U.S. Oil Reserve. Maybe he will also propose to convene a shareholders' meeting."
Feeling the gazes of a group of international speculators, Evan approached Chen Hongtao and said with a wicked smile: "Boss, it seems those guys are panicking. Do we need to go up and give them a few axes to chop them down later?"
"You guys are paying less and less attention to your image now. You should do less embarrassing things in the future." Chen Hongtao lowered his voice and said.
Evan smiled coquettishly, and the stinky look on his face became much calmer. In the process of adjusting his breathing rhythm, his whole aura changed, and he seemed to have entered the pre-war state.
In the tense atmosphere of the trading floor. The time has arrived at 9:30.
Seeing that Chen Hongtao was just sitting in the exit area of ??Mingzhu Holdings, drinking coffee without any movement, Byron frowned.
¡°There was no call auction, which gave us the upper hand. What should we do?¡± Nicole asked Marshall.
Just when Marshall was hesitant, Byron's eyes moved slightly when he saw William, the president of UBS, walking in from the door of the trading hall.
However. In the eyes of everyone, William did not reach the camp of international speculators. Instead, he went to the out-of-market area of ??Pearl Holdings and gave Chen Hongtao a hug.
"Uncle, you are not young anymore, and you are still hanging around with guys like Byron, so you are not afraid that your heart can't bear it! How are you, when will you consider retiring?" Chen Hongtao gave William a bear hug and smiled at him. teased.
"Didn't you withdraw from the capital market? The last time I went to Campelos Island to see you, I didn't hear you mention that you were going to come out!" William, who was in his fifties, counterattacked Chen Hongtao with a smile. The relationship between the two seems to be very good.
¡°There is no way, I am also entrusted by others, I hope I don¡¯t play too hard!¡± Chen Hongtao said with a smile.
William separated from Chen Hongtao in disgust: "Wolf in sheep's clothing, if you don't shoot when you get close, I'm afraid you will pounce on me with your mouth open. I don't want a dangerous guy like you to appear, either. You are not welcome."
"The thief calls out to catch the thief. Now you are going to become a scourge in the entire Asia region. Wherever you go, you just rob, that's enough!" Chen Hongtao rolled his eyes, as if he was slandering all the international speculators.
Until William brought traders from UBS. Smiling and walking towards the foreigners heading out of the city area, Byron's eyes showed an inquiring look.
"Don't play too hard, I'm not sure. You should all know that guy Chen. He has many advantages. It's really difficult to compete with him in the Hong Kong futures and currency markets!" William said although Saying this, the smile is very elegant.
"Don't be frightened by his bluff. Since he doesn't match call auctions, let's go up and take the initiative to sell goods. We will first suppress the Hang Seng Index, open a short futures position, and at the same time impact the linked exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar." Winnie took a step forward and said firmly.
Feeling everyone's hesitation, William smiled slightly and glanced at Chen Hongtao inadvertently: "It's not impossible, but this is just a battle of wills. How much can you do? It's too useless to play small and it's meaningless. Once you play big, We will inevitably be counterattacked, so we might as well reserve the right to take action and wait for opportunistic actions. We still have time, soThis is to give up this opportunity for the Taiwanese authorities to abandon the New Taiwan Dollar. Driven by the general trend in the future, opportunities will also fall to our side again. "
"Are we going to stand by and watch that hateful bastard disrupt the situation?" Although Winnie calmed down at this time, she was still a little unwilling.
"Of course not. We sell futures, long the linked exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar, and try to sell as many stocks as high as possible. Even if we cannot crash the Hong Kong financial market in one fell swoop, we must take the initiative and test their bottom line. William laughed softly.
Byron showed an approving smile: "That guy Chen is obviously pretending to be serious and wants to bring the Hong Kong financial market into a soft landing state. Although they are not participating in the bidding and promotion now, if we remain unmoved, we will not be able to do anything after the market opens." , they will take the initiative to sell goods."
"Yes, I think he also has the intention to take the initiative to bring down the stock market and cash out at a high level. This will not only increase liquidity, but also have more room for operation, and play a role in real-time intervention to stabilize the market." William smiled and told Switzerland Anna, vice president of United Bank, signaled.
"What are you still doing? Hurry and actively participate in the call auction. There is not much time left." Nicole ordered the listing representative of New King Investment Company under her command.
In an instant, the personnel of the entire short side¡¯s main organization. Soon it entered the pre-opening operation state.
¡°It¡¯s started, boss, those guys seem to have suddenly become much more active!¡± Evan said to Chen Hongtao with a solemn expression after discovering that the entrusted selling orders for call auctions had increased significantly.
Chen Hongtao, who was sitting in his seat, took a deep breath: "They are such a difficult group of guys. It seems that we are going to be passive!"
"Do you want us to use funds to survive?" Mr. Wei asked tentatively.
Feeling the gaze from Lin Lan, who was wearing a red vest, Chen Hongtao shook his head slightly: "No need for a tray, the general trend is not on our side. As long as the market does not collapse, just ignore it."
"Bell~~~" Everyone's anxiety did not last long, and the Hang Seng Index opened with the bell.
Looking at the big 16480-point green Arabic numerals on the big electronic trading screen. Evan whispered: "The Hang Seng Index opened 20 points lower and opened at 16,480 points. The market selling pressure has intensified. If there is no effective resistance, it will inevitably suffer a heavy setback within ten minutes. The first target of the decline will be seen. 16,300 points.¡±
"Is it a 200-point drop in ten minutes? Compared with the large base of more than 16,000 points, it is not unacceptable. Stay on the sidelines and quote the situation of the futures index and the foreign exchange market." Chen Hongtao thought softly.
"The futures index is 16,430 points. The Hang Seng Index is at a discount to the real offer, with a fluctuation of about 50 points." Agatha spoke very quickly.
"The exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar broke the consolidation of the linked exchange rate of 1:7.8 and began to rise sharply towards 7.8768. A large amount of funds appeared in the currency market to buy the exchange rate of the US dollar against the Hong Kong dollar, causing the Hong Kong dollar to depreciate." Kath stabilized Chen Hongtao reported.
"The number of short positions on futures indexes is still increasing. In conjunction with the sell-off of stocks, we continue to exert pressure on the market and extract profit-making funds." Mr. Wei, wearing a red vest No. 0001, said with a solemn expression.
Including Evan and others, many people did not expect that a group of international speculators would appear at the opening of the market. He launched such a fierce offensive.
Sensing the crisis, Lin Lan, secretary to the chief executive, could no longer sit still and anxiously came to Chen Hongtao and said: "Mr. Chen, the main short-term institutions have opened fire, and the situation in the entire financial market is starting to go wrong!"
"Have you never seen the market fall? Be patient." Chen Hongtao said with a faint smile on his face.
Seeing that the market bears were getting closer and closer, but Pearl Holdings did not take countermeasures, the trading floor gradually became restless. The phones were ringing one after another, and many trading representatives seemed a little anxious.
"The market is continuing to fall and has reached 16,330 points. If it continues like this, I'm afraid it won't be able to stop even at 16,300 points. Should we ship?" Sun Hung Kai Properties Chairman Guo Pingxiang asked Li Jiacheng on the side.
"He is forcing us. Neither Mingzhu Holdings nor Wei Dongyuan's investment companies have any positions in Hong Kong stocks. No matter how the Hong Kong stock market falls, they have no substantial interest relationship with the people of Mingzhu Holdings. It seems that they I won't act as a scapegoat when taking over the market at a high position. It is probably because we invited Chen Hongtao to protect the Hong Kong stock market last time and then stayed on his own, which has aroused his grudge." Li Jiacheng glanced at Chen Hongtao and said.
"There is no way to go on like this. If the stock market is at a high level and various institutions do not ship, watching the stock index fall step by step, it will cause great losses." Li Zhaotong was worried.
"Ship the goods. Faced with the heavy pressure from international speculators, the stock market cannot hold up at this high level. It is better to withdraw funds for future plans." Guo Bingxiang was very determined.A decision was made.
After the local financial consortium in Hong Kong gradually began to take action and joined the short side camp, the stock market soon began to plummet continuously.
Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Lin Lan, secretary to the Chief Executive, was anxious, but could not say a word, as if he had been slapped in the mouth by a group of Hong Kong financial groups.
"Boss, the Hang Seng Index has broken 16,300 points. Many Hong Kong institutional consortiums are withdrawing funds. Those guys no longer care about the life and death of others." Megan's face looked a little ugly at this time.
Chen Hongtao just smiled and said nothing. He sat on the market exit seat and quietly observed the changes in the market, without issuing any trading orders.
¡°The number of newly opened short positions on futures indexes is increasing, and some forward options have also seen great changes.¡± Evan put down the phone and reported to Chen Hongtao.
"Without an opponent, the short side's offensive will naturally converge. The stock market's 16,000-point integer mark should be able to be defended today." Chen Hongtao said calmly with a smile.
"What the boss means is that this wave of impact is not real?" Mr. Wei seemed to understand a little bit and confirmed in a low voice to Chen Hongtao.
"The number of newly opened short positions on futures indexes has increased, but the actual transactions have become less and less. Moreover, the attacks of international speculators in the currency market may seem fierce, but in the end they have not shown the momentum to collapse the Hong Kong financial market. How is the situation outside now?" Chen Hongtao smiled and asked Evan later.
"Although people are panicking because of the Asian financial crisis, the response of most small and medium-sized investors is still lagging behind a lot, and there are no terrible rumors." Evan also calmed down at this time.
"Compared with the financial crisis situation where there are more wolves than meat, if we can cannibalize and pursue those international speculators, the profits will be much greater. I think you guys will be very happy, right?" Chen Hongtao smiled at Wei Lao and others.
"These international speculators are indeed very fat. I have long wanted to rush up and grab a few pieces of meat, but some of them are really strong and difficult to deal with." Evan was eager to try his vagina.
