"In order to stimulate the U.S. economy and further alleviate domestic inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker announced at a press conference that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will raise the federal funds rate from the current 19 percent to 21 percent, and the lending rate from the current 21.5 percent to 24 ......percent on August 1."

In the conference room of the Galaxy Fund, Xia Yu, Liu Zhen and others gathered together, and after Liu Zhen read the news from the United States, everyone's faces were filled with excitement.

"Great, the Federal Reserve has really raised interest rates, and Latin America and other countries are in trouble!"

"This interest rate hike came too suddenly, and it was in an abnormal interest rate hike policy, which only gave the capital market ten days to react, hahaha......"

"This can also see the degree of embarrassment of the economic situation in the United States, if it can still afford to live, the Fed will not do this, I am afraid that it will use a threatening interest rate hike policy......

"Now the Fed shoots directly without saying a word, which is decisive enough and powerful enough......"

......

For a while, there was some chaos in the conference room, and everyone expressed their own opinions, and laughter broke out one after another.

Xia Yu just smiled and looked at everyone to vent.

For nearly a month, he has been here every day, and naturally knows the situation of everyone.

Although Liu Zhen and the others did not confide in him, Xia Yu could still see the pressure in everyone's hearts.

Now that the Fed's policy of raising interest rates as described by him has finally appeared, the general trend of international capital flows to the United States has reappeared, and the situation of Latin American and other countries seems to be worse.

The Fed is looking at the world, and the most hurt is definitely Latin America and other countries.

Now, they are waiting for the moment of the avalanche!

"Smack!"

"Alright, everyone calm down!"

After seeing everyone talking for a while, Xia Yu clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention to himself and quieting everyone down.

In an instant, the entire conference room became quiet again.

Looking at the pair of burning eyes that looked at him, Xia Yu glanced around with a serious face, and commanded in a deep voice: "Today is July 21st, and there are still ten days before the Federal Reserve really raises interest rates. ”

"After the policy is implemented, maybe one day there will be problems in the Latin American countries, it may be on August 1, it may be August 5, it may be after August 15, all of this is uncertain. ”

"So the real safe time left for us is only ten days between today and August 1st!"

"I have all grasped your progress, and there are still some people whose deployment has not been fully completed, and some people who have completed their deployment, but there is still room for optimization. ”

"So for the next ten days, you and your respective teams will continue to complete the deployment according to the plan, and it must be fully completed by August 1st!"

"And before August 1st, all of you will arrive in your respective areas of responsibility, personally take command, and I will sit at the headquarters for comprehensive scheduling. ”

"Is there a problem?"

At the last sound, Xia Yu suddenly raised his voice, his eyes were as sharp as a knife, and his whole body exuded a solemn aura.

"Nope!"

Everyone held their heads high and shouted in unison.

"Okay, adjourn!"

After that, Xia Yu didn't drag the mud and water at all, got up and took the lead to leave the conference room, and after the others left, they immediately walked quickly to their respective departments.

They have to be fully deployed in the next few days, and of course this is remote command.

The reason why they are still staying here is nothing more than to connect with Xia Yu in time, and their remote command can also promote the work.

When the Latin American sovereign debt crisis really breaks out later, the fighter planes will change rapidly, and they must personally be present to command and dispatch the fighters, so as not to delay the fighters.

......

With Paul Volcker's announcement of the Fed's interest rate hike, the news almost dominated the front pages of financial news in the next few days, with analysis emerging from the purpose and impact of the Fed's interest rate hikes.

And the effects are beginning to appear.

Although the Fed's interest rate hike policy will officially take effect on August 1, the dollar has accelerated again, and many capital has begun to rush into the United States to seek value preservation.

And the price of gold futures also stopped the downward trend and began to rise.

In fact, many of Xia Yu's companies have completed the deployment of funds ahead of schedule.

For example, Jiuding Bank, in order to preserve the value of assets, has exchanged most of its funds for US dollars or gold futures contracts in advance, and has also taken out a large amount of money to long US dollars and gold futures.

Every point increase in the offshore dollar exchange rate and the price of gold futures contracts can create considerable floating profits for many of Xia Yu's companies.

Of course, this opportunity, Xia Yu also informed his hardcore allies in advance, let them make their own deployments, and how much money they can make depends on their personal skills, but at least their assets will not shrink because of this emergency.

......

July 26th.

When Liu Zhen and the others completed their work deployment and scattered to their respective areas.

The ownership of Shaw Brothers Film Company and Shaw Brothers Cinemas, which stirred up the film industry in Hong Kong and even Asia, finally has a clear result.

Golden Harvest Film Company Headquarters Building.

Wrinkle Huai, He Guanchang and Liang Feng gathered together again.

The old man with everyone's second-generation face is very ugly, and even the wrinkled face shows a confused look, and the whole person exudes a decadent and confused atmosphere.

It's no wonder that he, a person who dares to fight and is determined, has become like this.

It's really this news that hit him too hard!

For more than a month, in order to compete for Shaw Brothers Film Company and Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Wrinkle Huai has tried his best and run around.

Even in order to be able to win these two companies to improve his strength and narrow the gap with Galaxy Film Company and Universal Cinemas, he put down his figure and face, bowed to Shao Yifu, just to resolve grievances and let Shao Yifu sell the two companies to him.

But no matter what he did, in the end he still lost!

Galaxy Pictures and Universal Cinemas defeated all their competitors and smashed Shaw Bros. Films and Universal Cinemas with money.

Among them, Galaxy Film Company bought Shaw Brothers Film Company for 68 million Hong Kong dollars.

Universal Cinemas swallowed Shaw Brothers for HK$172 million.

The gap between Golden Harvest Film Company and Galaxy Film Company has been greatly widened, so big that Wrinkle has no hope of catching up.

Why?

Because after the annexation of the Shaw Brothers Brothers Film Company, Galaxy Film Company is seven times as talented in the film industry as Golden Harvest Film Company!

And Universal Cinemas is even more so.

Universal Cinemas itself is the largest cinema chain in Asia, with 30 cinemas in Xiangjiang, 188 self-operated cinemas and 102 franchised cinemas in Southeast Asia, and the largest cinema chain in the island country.

The Shaw Brothers Cinemas chain itself is the second largest cinema chain, with 16 cinemas in Hong Kong, 132 self-operated cinemas and 82 franchised cinemas in Southeast Asia, and the total number of cinemas covered by the cinema chain is 230!

After Universal Cinemas acquires Shaw Brothers Cinemas, there will be 46 self-operated cinemas in Hong Kong, more than half of the total number of cinemas in Hong Kong!

In Southeast Asia, there are 320 self-operated cinemas and 184 franchised cinemas, covering a total of 504 cinemas!

Absolute juggernaut and juggernaut!

And what about Golden Harvest Cinemas?

There are only 19 cinemas in Xiangjiang, and only seven really belong to Golden Harvest Film Company, and the remaining 12 are franchised.

In Southeast Asia, there are only 21 self-operated theaters of Golden Harvest Cinemas, and only 103 of the 82 theaters joined, which is equivalent to about one-fifth of the Universal Cinema Line.

This gap-like gap is not something that Golden Harvest Film Company can catch up.

And it is completely conceivable that in the face of the glorious trend of Galaxy Pictures and Universal Cinemas, those small and medium-sized film companies will flock to Universal Cinemas and Galaxy Cinemas like moths to a flame, after all, these two companies hold the talents and theaters that other small and medium-sized film companies need.

"Next, it's time for Galaxy Films......

"Hey......"

Wrinkled Huai let out a long sigh, and the whole person seemed to be ten years old.

He Guanchang and Liang Feng looked at the wrinkled Huai who had no fighting spirit, and the two glanced at each other, and a deep sense of worry appeared in their eyes......

PS: The second more is sent, ask for a new week's recommended ticket monthly pass!
