Chapter 785: The First Round of Attack
Early in the morning, Lu Jingyi took Luo Li to the London International Financial Futures and Options Trading Center, which is located in the city of London, which is the financial capital and trade center of the whole London, and is also one of the largest financial centers in the world, and is called "Port of Newlen" along with New York and Hong Kong.
Lu Jingyi's last short Indonesian rupiah was manipulated here, and she made a profit of more than 100 million US dollars in one fell swoop.
Lu Jingyi has set up a financial team here, and Luo Li came here to short the Korean won. Lu Jingyi's team of five people came to the office area rented by the trading center, and Lu Jingyi introduced the members of this small team to Luo Li.
Luo Jichang, 42 years old, from Hong Kong, is also engaged in financial work in Hong Kong and has rich experience in finance.
Mark, 39 years old, an Englishman, has been in the London International Financial Exchange Center, and was poached by Lu Jingyi with a high salary this time.
Antonio, 28 years old, French.
Catherine, a 32-year-old female, is also French.
Dominic, 45 years old, Irish.
Lu Jingyi introduced Luo Li one by one, and several people were very surprised by Luo Li's youth, they didn't expect the big boss to be such a young young man.
The team started to short the won early, and after the sharp depreciation of the won, the team bought a large amount to repay the shorting funds, which is the most frequently used method by international speculators.
After a brief familiarization, Luo Jichang took the lead in asking: "Mr. Luo, the recent trading is the tone set by Miss Lu, and several of us have always had our own opinions, but Miss Lu said, I have to wait until you come, and ask you together, just because we haven't seen you in person, we have some questions, can Mr. Luo help us solve our doubts?"
Luo Li smiled: "Mr. Luo, please ask!"
Luo Jichang said: "Mr. Luo, I have been engaged in the financial industry, including several of us have worked in this field for some years, Mr. Dominic has been working in this industry for 20 years, compared with the financial crisis in the Asian region and the way international speculators have operated in recent years, it is foreseeable that international speculators have invaded Hong Kong's financial market in a big way."
Hong Kong is the world's three major financial centers on the same level as London, if you make a move in Hong Kong, international speculators can obtain unimaginable wealth to outsiders, and it is impossible for international financial speculators led by Soros to give up Hong Kong's huge 'cash machine', but Mr. Luo laid out early this time, but did not target Hong Kong, I don't know why?
Several of us have conducted a systematic and serious analysis of the financial crisis in the Asian region, and we all agree that the target of international speculators should be Hong Kong as soon as possible, and shorting the Hong Kong dollar in order to obtain the greatest profits, and this is exactly the case.
At present, the world's hot money has poured into Asia, and the quantum fund has also begun the first round of impact on the Hong Kong dollar, we are now short the Hong Kong dollar, and we may be able to get the last piece of the cake, but Mr. Luo has no such plan from the beginning, I don't know what you think?"
Luo Li looked at Luo Jichang and said, "Are you from Hong Kong?"
Luo Jichang nodded and said, "Yes!"
Luo Li said: "I am Chinese, how can I follow international speculators to short the Hong Kong dollar?"
Luo Jichang said: "Capital knows no borders, as long as it is profitable, capital will pour in, to maximize benefits, this is its essential attribute, since Mr. Luo wants to engage in finance, he should understand this." ”
Several people in the studio nodded their heads in agreement.
Luo Li said: "Mr. Luo, for the operation of capital, perhaps, you are right. However, although capital has no borders, capitalists do.
I will not do anything detrimental to my country's interests in order to maximize the benefits of capital.
As far as I am concerned, I will never do anything that harms the interests of the motherland, let alone harm the motherland for the sake of interests, because I am Chinese!"
Luo Li's words were sonorous and powerful, Luo Jichang took the lead in applauding, and several other people also applauded, giving Luo Li a strong thumbs up, and Luo Li's words won their respect.
Luo Jichang said movingly: "Mr. Luo, in you, I see what national integrity is, I am deeply moved, compared with you, I feel deeply guilty!"
Luo Li smiled: "Mr. Luo doesn't have to blame himself, maybe, you have lived in Hong Kong since you were a child, and from the bottom of your heart, you may not have such a strong sense of belonging to this country as mine, but whether it is a Hong Kong person or a mainlander, the heart is the same heart."
The return of Hong Kong Island, many Hong Kong people may transfer assets and are in the wait-and-see stage, but I believe that after Hong Kong's return, it will only develop better, because it has a strong motherland behind it, and this Asian financial crisis, international speculators are eyeing Hong Kong, but I think it is impossible for international speculators headed by Soros to take advantage of Hong Kong.
Therefore, our target is not Hong Kong, I am optimistic about the Korean won, and you must be fighting this battle!"
Luo Li's speculation is completely correct, after the first round of attacks on Hong Kong by international speculators, the Hang Seng Index fell 1211.47 points, the entire market was panicked, and the sky over Southeast Asia was shrouded in a dark cloud. Some people who had little confidence in Hong Kong's return to the motherland earlier are now glad to have withdrawn their capital from Hong Kong Island.
On the 28th, the Hang Seng Index fell 1,621.80 points, falling below the 9,000-point mark, and the market fell into panic.
In the face of the fierce attack of international financial speculators, the SAR reiterated that it would not change the current exchange rate system, and on the 30th, the Hang Seng Index rose to the 10,000-point mark, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Luo Li has been paying attention to the Hang Seng Index in the London trading center, and Luo Jichang and others have great admiration for Luo Li's inference. In this round of international speculators' attacks on Hong Kong Island, they did not take any advantage, and many of the teams known to Luo Jichang and others participated in this operation, and these institutions and organizations did not take any advantage in this round of competition.
Luo Li stayed in London until mid-November, when a financial turmoil finally broke out in country H while everyone was waiting.
Luo Jichang and the others were so excited, they laid out more than a month in advance, just to wait for this time, but they didn't expect this storm to come so quickly, everything was expected.
On November 17, the South Korean won fell to a record 1,008:1 against the US dollar.
Luo Jichang and others suggested to Luo Li that they should immediately buy won to close their positions, and if they close their positions at this time, their short funds will make a profit of 40%, and no capital can resist such huge profits.
However, Luo Li rejected the suggestion of Luo Jichang and others, and the whole team anxiously found Luo Li and persuaded Luo Li to close the position immediately!
