Chapter 636: Financial Chaos Begins
The time came to the end of June, and under the impetus of various national planning projects, the reform of state-owned enterprises began to accelerate, the domestic economy developed rapidly, and international cooperation began to unfold, and everything seemed to be so prosperous.
As early as May this year, Yang Dongxu rarely appeared in China, and has been going back and forth between Hong Kong and the United States, and has been fixed in Hong Kong in late May, and it seems that he has no intention of leaving until June.
At the same time, he is accompanied by Zhou Ya, who has been managing her career in the United States, and the Hong Kong real estate market is still hot, even crazier than at the beginning of the year. And under such a hot surface, there is an undercurrent surging.
In particular, there are only two days left in the countdown to Hong Kong's return, and all capital is a little ready to move. Because so far, although the Republic has continuously released various positive signals to the outside world, it has not given a definite answer to the question of Hong Kong's housing prices that has been asked many times.
So Yang Dongxu, who was low-key in Hong Kong at the beginning, began to go in and out of some high-end consumption places from time to time during this time, either drinking tea with Uncle Six, barbecuing with a big star, or going to the lively Jockey Club to play two.
The whole feeling is very relaxed, and it looks like a winning game. This has made many panicked speculators feel a lot more at ease.
On July 1, 1997, the Republic of China officially resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong, and from midnight on June 30 to the early morning of July 1, the handover ceremony of Hong Kong power between China and Britain was held in the City Hall on the fifth floor of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center.
In addition to the leaders and some officials of the two countries, representatives from all walks of life also attended the handover ceremony, and Yang Dongxu also stood in one of the inconspicuous positions and applauded enthusiastically, watching the five-star red flag rise with an excited look on his face.
It was a sleepless night, and the expectations of the Chinese people for nearly a hundred years were finally realized, and many people burst into tears. There are also people who are sad and Rarity is uneasy.
When the morning sun rises, the silence of Hong Kong begins to become noisy, and after the stock market opens, the cheerful people are still celebrating, and the ugly faces are still gloomy. Nervous, the police patrol is much more serious than before.
The eyes of the world have been glued to Hong Kong from midnight to daylight. The calm day passed quickly, the chaos that some psychologically shady people had hoped for did not appear, and society was as safe as ever.
Even if different people have different thoughts, after a day of excitement or disappointment. The sun rose as usual on July 2.
At this time, in a high-end office building in Hong Kong, all computer screens are turned on, and nearly 100 carefully selected traders are sitting in front of the computers, and the computer screens all display the screens on which the stock market is about to open. However, the screen is not showing the trading order of the Hong Kong stock market, but the Thai market.
At about 9 o'clock in the morning, a piece of news made everyone's breath become grounded, and Thai officials officially announced the abandonment of the fixed exchange rate system and the implementation of a floating exchange rate system. For a while, the international capital, which had been sharpening its knives, was like a shark chasing the smell of blood, and fiercely pounced on the Thai baht market.
On that day, the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar fell by 17%, and the foreign exchange and other financial markets were in chaos. Under the influence of the fluctuation of the Thai baht, the Philippine peso, the Indonesian rupiah, and the Malaysian gilin began to be affected, and became the targets of international capital after devouring the flesh and blood of the Thai baht.
In August, Malaysia abandoned efforts to protect the ringgit. The Singapore dollar, which has always been strong, has also taken a hit. Indonesia is starting to be affected, and it is currently the last country to be affected, but it is indeed the hardest hit.
"BOSS, something seems wrong. A manager who kept an eye on the exchange rates of various countries hurried into an office.
"What's wrong. Soros smoked a cigar and gently exhaled his cigarette. Glancing at the computer screen in front of him, he asked lightly.
The data on the computer screen fluctuated again and again, and the line that kept sliding and twisting seemed to him like a beautiful note, as if he were playing a symphony of triumph for him.
He felt that at this time, he was like the king of the world, and the financial markets of those weak and small countries were trembling and panicking all day long under his own overlook.
"The earnings are not right. The manager hurriedly spoke.
Slaughter, in the face of the onslaught of international capital, these countries with immature financial markets, are like a quiet farmed sardine farm violently broken by a great white shark, in which the great white shark can take what it wants and want.
As the actual operator of the great white shark harvesting sardines, although the manager could see countless sardines being released from the violently dismantled trap, when he continued to devour these sardines, he found that the number of sardines in his stomach did not match what he saw at all, and it seemed that it was much less.
At first, he thought that it was just an isolated phenomenon, or that the great white shark was too violent, so the data was not so accurate for a while. But after repeated inspections and audits, he determined that it was not his own delusion. The schools of sardines that have been released from the fishery by themselves are indeed disappearing inexplicably, and the number of them disappearing far exceeds the number they swallow into their stomachs.
"Earnings?" Soros frowned, turning out the statistical statement in the manager's hand.
Rows of seemingly statistics were constantly swept by him, and several pages of dense statistical reports were quickly read by him. When he looked at the last column of numbers, he frowned as he sat on his throne.
"When did this happen?"
"I'm not sure about the specifics, but I'm asking my staff to compare the previous data with the financial parameters of the East Asian countries that we had at the beginning. The manager said with a nervous expression.
This can't be blamed for his timidity, anyone who is enjoying a gluttonous feast in a school of sardines suddenly finds that there may be an even greater monster hidden behind him, and when silently sharing most of the fruits of this gluttonous feast, even the great white shark in front of him may be interesting to swallow in one bite, as long as anyone is nervous.
"Tell me right away when you have a conclusion. Soros glanced again at the still-fluctuating zigzag lines on the computer.
At this time, he looked at how these lines did not have the beauty just now, but felt that these waves that were constantly fluctuating violently seemed to laugh at his smiling faces, making his complexion gradually become gloomy.
The data was quickly counted, and Soros, who saw the data report, directly slammed the cigar in his hand to the ground, and the computer screen in front of him was lifted by him and violently fell to the ground.
Seventy percent, seventy percent of the income that should have been pocketed by himself is gone. And just when you turn your head to see what kind of enemy is following behind you, the other party disappears silently without leaving the slightest trace, like a shadow of death, you may be aware of his existence, but you can't be sure where he is, let alone see the other party.
"BOOS, our plan ....." After Soros had vented and panted back into his boss's chair, the manager looked up and asked cautiously.
"Ahead, all the plans are in advance, take advantage of the chaos to find this guy out for me. Soros smashed a cigar he had just pulled out.
In the office of an office building in Hong Kong, Yang Dongxu, who looked tired, drank the first cup of coffee. Originally, he thought that as long as he determined the general direction and had professional traders and managers there, he could easily stand aside and laugh at the situation.
But if you really participate, how can you have a stable mentality. Even now, as the biggest winner in the hidden, after seeing the series of fluctuating numbers, he still couldn't help but roar excitedly and sometimes uneasily.
Anyone who does finance needs a big heart, especially decision-makers definitely need a heart as strong as steel, because that series of numerical fluctuations are challenging your heart rate all the time, making you want to stuff a quick-acting heart pill into your mouth.
"Has it been discovered?" Glancing at the latest statistics and the monitoring data of the huge international capital flows, Yang Dongxu picked a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth: "The response is a little slow." ”
At the beginning of September, the international capital, which had been preparing to sharpen its knives against South Korea, suddenly turned around and blitzed Hong Kong. This is more than a full month earlier than Soros's blitzkrieg attack on Hong Kong in history.
The blitzkrieg on Hong Kong at the beginning was that Soros wanted to directly crush the Hong Kong financial market with a huge amount of capital after eating and drinking enough in other East Asian countries.
And this time, although the early arrangement of troops confused many people, it plunged headlong into the pocket that Yang Dongxu had prepared.
On September 6, the Hang Seng Index fell by 1,211.47 points, and three days later, it fell by 1,621.80 points, and fell directly below the 9,000 mark in three days.
At this time, the Hong Kong government had to stand up and reiterate that it would not change the current exchange rate system, and wanted to stabilize the stock market and not continue to fall, but under the impact of huge international summons, the financial market, which had stabilized a little, still seemed to be a little shaky.
At this moment, a mysterious fund suddenly appeared, no matter how many short orders appeared in the market, all of them were eaten.
Under the timely protection of this huge amount of money, the Hang Seng Index began to rise steadily, which made Soros, who was sitting in his office staring at the computer, crush the cigar in his hand again.
At this time, the Korean financial market was invaded by a mysterious capital and began to cause turmoil, and then the Japanese financial market began to be in turmoil.
In the face of Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index, which seemed to be a thick turtle shell on a ship in an instant, Soros decisively cut off his tail to survive, and directly smashed into the South Korean and Japanese financial markets with his bloody body, trying to make up for all the previous losses.
This made the financial markets of the two countries, which could have eased up a little, suddenly become bloody. At first, the fence of the financial street of the two countries was torn by an unknown fund.
In the end, he began to be ravaged by the great white shark of Soros, and the huge blue whale hidden in the deep water behind the great white shark began to quietly devour most of the results obtained after the former tore open the gap.
