Chapter 734: Great Miracle Day (First Update)
Tuesday, November 25.
"Well done, you chose Banana Daily to do this, and you were right. On the 22nd floor of the HSBC Tower in Central, in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, Druckenmiller looked down at the snake-like crowd on the street, and patted Robert on the shoulder in a good mood, Robert only felt that his bones were a few lighter.
Robert said with a flattering smile: "In addition to the local media, the BBC's Hong Kong regional director also promised to report on it, and CNN and ABC will intervene in the future." ”
"Ahem. A young man from Xiangjiang next to Robert coughed a few times, "Mr. Druckenmiller, Banana Daily is one of the two newspapers with the largest circulation in Hong Kong, this is only the first day, we will follow up on the follow-up news in the future, and you can rest assured of the effect." ”
Druckenmiller's approach, which he had used once before in Mexico, used local and Western media to exaggerate the crisis and create panic through false runs in order to make higher profits.
Druckenmiller laughed: "Of course, our commitment will not change, and the Quantum Foundation will do its best to help E Media go public in the United States." ”
Druckenmiller turned on the TV and watched with interest as the BBC reporter reported on the Hong Kong banking run.
The run began on Sunday, the day before yesterday, but on a smaller scale, and today is the third day, and there are significantly more people, and the media in Hong Kong are like sharks smelling fishy, all of them have converged on this area of less than one square kilometer.
Affected by this, the stock market fell 400 points in one day, fell back to 6,200 points, and now, it is still continuing to fall, and it is about to fall below the 6,000-point mark.
This is just the beginning, Druckenmiller sneered, the simplest means, often the most effective means, no financial institution can withstand the risk of a run.
CREATING A RUN, LIKE A DDOS ATTACK ON THE INTERNET, IS SIMPLE AND CRUDE, BUT THERE ARE FEW EFFECTIVE DEFENSES.
"This gentleman. The Chinese female reporter of the BBC excitedly pulled a very conspicuous and unknown Xiangjiang person in the queue, "May I ask, why are you here to line up today?"
Xiangjiang scratched his unkempt hair, "Like everyone, didn't you interview a few people just now?"
The female reporter was unyielding: "Do you also think that the economy of Xiangjiang is about to collapse, so you take US dollars to protect yourself?"
The people of Xiangjiang smiled and said: "I don't understand what you said, someone asked me to line up, give 300 Hong Kong dollars a day, and I will come." Well, you see, there are my two cousins and three cousins over there, as long as you come to the queue, you can earn 300, and I will bring the whole family. ”
The female reporter's face changed, and she immediately wanted to turn away, but it was a live broadcast, and the cameraman didn't seem to see her predicament, and the camera was still focused on her and the Xiangjiang man who seemed to have intellectual problems.
The female reporter had no choice but to stiffen and forced: "This gentleman is really funny, but if the Hong Kong dollar really collapses, it is indeed equivalent to making money by exchanging dollars earlier."
The man was stunned and said, "What are you talking about? We have already received today's wages, three hundred per person, look." As he spoke, he took out three hundred Hong Kong dollars from his pocket and waved at the camera proudly.
The female reporter was about to collapse, secretly crying out unlucky, how could she meet such a two-hundred-and-five? Just as she wanted to interview other people, the man who was interviewed grabbed her: "You just said that it was a live broadcast? That means I'm on TV now?"
The female reporter nodded reluctantly, and the man smiled at the camera: "Amei, Adong, I'm on TV, do you see me? I'll bring you goose legs back at noon, remember to wait for me~"
This elated look, where there is a little worried expression.
The female reporter couldn't bear it, pulled the cameraman and walked out, the BBC director did not understand Chinese, only then did she find that the scene was wrong, and quickly cut off the picture.
Druckenmiller did not understand Chinese and hurriedly asked Robert what was going on, but saw that Robert and the young man from the Banana Daily looked like they were constipated.
Under Druckenmiller's repeated questioning, Robert stammered and translated the plot on TV to Druckenmiller.
"Stupid!" Druckenmiller was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table, "I asked you to encourage the Hong Kong people to run on the bill, but you used money to hire people to line up! You still hire this kind of idiot! Are you all Xiangjiang people such idiots! You yourself are the media, and you actually make such a big joke!"
The young man in Xiangjiang blushed, "I'll let them investigate what the hell is going on now!" he took out his mobile phone and made a call.
Druckenmiller calmed down and told Robert to tune in to other news channels, and he had to assess the impact of the BBC incident.
"No, what I said is true. After changing to the Jade Terrace, the picture here is still the Xiangjiang man just now, and the man said with an innocent face: "I live in the New Territories, and the grandfather in the village called us together the night before yesterday, and said that if we come to line up, we will get the money." Oh, by the way, the guy who sent us the money was wearing the same clothes as him. With that, the man pointed to the reporter of the Xiangjiang Daily.
The reporter of Banana Daily changed his face and was about to slip away, but he was surrounded by other media around him.
"It's a frame-up! It's slander!" the Banana Daily reporter argued weakly, he really didn't know what was going on.
The surrounding crowd has already begun to boil with emotion, "You are still not from Xiangjiang!? Do this kind of immoral thing! Be careful to have a child!"
"Hong Kong traitor! traitor!"
"Banana Daily Goes Out of Business!"
"Don't say so much, hit him!"
The scene was a mess.
Druckenmiller's face turned pale, and his fists clenched white.
"Mr. Druckenmiller, I have checked, we did hire people yesterday and the day before yesterday, but today we have gathered a lot of runners, so we did not continue to hire people. After the phone call, the young man hurriedly walked in from outside the corridor and said to Druckenmiller.
Druckenmiller subconsciously thought that the young man in Xiangjiang was lying, just now the idiot on TV pointed out that the reporter of the Banana Daily sent them money, and now the young master of the Banana Daily actually denied it, and couldn't help but be furious: "Qubble!"
"Stanley. Druckenmiller's assistant Julie knocked on the door, "Sorry to interrupt you, you look at the big picture, something is wrong." ”
Druckenmiller's heart sank and he turned on the computer screen.
!
The market, which has just fallen to 6,200 points, is rising at an incredible speed.
6120、6230、6300、6350、6410。。。
In just 40 minutes, the market has regained its position at 6600 points, and it is still climbing!
Whether it is the trading floor or the trading rooms of various exchanges, it is boiling.
If Druckenmiller could understand Chinese, he would know what the Chinese were shouting about the securities company just across the wall from the Quantum Fund's Xiangjiang office.
Miracle Day!
