Chapter 780: Inflated Influence

Early the next morning, Jiang Che left a note with sincere wording on the table, and before Miss Lin, who had been sulking for most of the night, woke up, she had already rushed back to Hong Kong City again.

He still has a lot to deal with in the future.

For example, Hong Kong stocks stop at the current point in time and index position, Excalibur must be making a lot of money, but it is not so easy to say that it is not so easy to make a smooth profit.

Unless he sells and smashes the market...... That's still hard, too.

On August 29 and August 30, the market is closed on weekends. This did not make the parties feel relaxed, but only made the decisive battle that took place on the 28th more exaggerated to a greater degree and depth.

In two days, excluding the relatively backward and closed regions, at least 50 percent of the front pages and magazine covers of economic and financial newspapers and magazines in Asia, Europe and the United States were all in the same series of photos.

The same series is said because after the officials left the market, the trading hall was opened, and hundreds of media flocked to enter. The position, angle, time, and focus of the scene they captured are all different, so there are many differences in the details of the imaging.

The most "suitable" and classic one in this series of photos was favored by the Hong Kong government and mainland official media at the same time, and was used for mainstream publicity and reporting for the first time, and then the original was collected in the exhibition hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

The photograph was taken by a mainland journalist who titled the most successful work of his professional life: "God Smokes Cigars."

The name clearly has the meaning of "shouting" at the Western world.

And the source is the press conference when Excalibur announced the end of the Hong Kong stock showdown Soros, when a media reporter preached that Soros was sent by God to punish Asia's envoy, Jiang Che said that he had not sent ......

[It's god] - this is the headline of a financial newspaper on Wall Street, and the meaning is similar to that of the mainland reporter.

This is not an exaggeration, in 1998, if anyone just won a financial war that swept tens of billions of dollars, and defeated a large number of major Western investors, including Soros, he was the new God in the world of finance and capital.

There are copyright issues with media photos, so except for Hong Kong media and the mainland, most countries and regions have used their own or partners' on-site photos in their reports.

In this "It's god", the location of the reporter's photo is obviously a little remote, and he may not be able to squeeze in front for a while, so he has no choice but to take a photo with a special artistic conception.

First of all, the elements of composition that don't change are almost the same:

[Huge trading floor; vacated central area;

red carpet;

black body with chairs with gold accents;

cigar smoke in the air;

the five;

And the number frozen on the display screen above their heads, 11022. 】

In addition, the photo blurs all the dense red vests in front of the lens, as if the chaotic and dynamic images, creating an atmosphere of "bustling and frightened without direction...... He expressed his emotions before the victory in the decisive battle in the picture.

Then the layering of the blur continues to progress, and in the end, the focus of the camera is only on Jiang Che alone, and the reporter is lucky to capture a moment that may just be the protagonist's inadvertence.

In the footage.

Jiang Che's white shirt was unbuttoned, the tie was slightly loose, and the sleeves of the shirt were also rolled up directly and messily to the elbows in a very ungentlemanly manner.

He sat in his chair, leaning forward slightly, the brown cigar had just been removed from his mouth, and the smoke gradually dispersed in front of him.

He looked up, his eyes glancing at the camera as if they were deliberately cooperating, his eyes bright and deep, but his face expressionless.

"I was probably a little tired, so I took a break. ”

Regarding this personal image picture that is said to have dumped countless white girls and black girls in the Western world, Jiang Che's own explanation is like this.

The photo was later quoted by Time magazine as the cover of one of the issues. However, the title was changed, and it was probably called "Hunting-Being Hunted" in Chinese.

In another front-page photo also from a Wall Street newspaper, the focus of attention was changed to Zheng Xinfeng.

If it weren't for this photo, in fact, even Jiang Che, Qu Mo and others didn't notice at the scene at that time that Secretary Zheng was on a high chair in the center of the lobby of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, facing a large number of foreign reporters, with his feet crossed roughly, a cigar in one hand, and a middle finger in the other...... the entire European and American tour capital group.

The owner of this newspaper probably has a grudge against Soros, or he is a slut himself. The title he gave to the front-page photo was mocking, schadenfreude, and very obscene, called: "Haha, we're fucked."

Relatively domestically, the fact that this photo appeared in the United States, where individual heroism is more prevalent, should probably be considered a good thing, and it does not seem to cause much anger, or even so unacceptable.

Especially in the eyes of some ordinary people who don't have a good impression of the capital group, the flamboyant oriental young man on the picture is simply a western cowboy in the new era. It's well worth a toast for him at the bar.

There are many more photos in the series, but in short, the angles and details are different, and the feeling is very different.

For example, some of the photos of Lao Biao and Sandun being focused will make this unprecedented scene of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange look more like a rough and iron-blooded gangster movie.

And Qu Mo's photo, as the protagonist, is accepted and praised to a greater extent. After all, women who can dominate the financial world have always been a minority, not to mention her academic qualifications and professional background, which also makes Westerners have a sense of identity.

This charming Oriental woman has even appeared on the covers of many women's magazines that have little to do with the economic and financial fields.

Even extreme feminist magazines have ...... Ahem, if they knew the truth of how the little couple used to get along, such as the golden snake wrapping silk hands or something, they don't know what kind of mood they would have.

In a certain photo, Qu Mo turned sideways, smiled gently and dotingly, and looked at her husband......

In one photograph, four men are unanimous, with their feet crossed, leaning back in their chairs, staring at the smoke of cigars.

There is a newspaper reporter's photo that is really a bit lackluster, but it just captures a scene where Jiang Che turned his head and smiled and talked to Zhao Sandun.

But the typesetting person handled it very skillfully, and he put a photo of Soros in the direction of Jiang Che's line of sight.

And take down the title: [1997-1998, Soros swept Asia...... Shut don!] (Shut don here means: successive victories or slaughters are ended.) )

This composition and title inexplicably feel very vivid - Soros is crisscrossing Asia, cutting down several countries with one hand, looting on a large scale, and his pockets full of gold coins are arrogant...... Suddenly, he was slashed head-on and became a trophy.

There is a sentence in the report: [Soros once said that in any profession, I only need to spend 48 hours to become an expert; now a young man from the East tells him that you are not an expert in your own specialty].

In short, it is like a carnival, and the Western media is ridiculing the capitalists as much as they are mocking their own dignitaries.

Of course, there are serious newspapers and magazines, and there are not a few of them.

Among them, a very serious media used a very high-end computer technology to synthesize the photo, in which the ground in front of Jiang Che and the five people was covered with US dollars, and even in the air, there were falling dollars......

In the report, the writer seriously analyzes and deduces the total amount of money for the war, the losses or gains of all parties, and the possible impact of it.

In the end, two completely unsettled questions were raised:

1. How much wealth did Excalibur Capital win in this battle, and how big is its current scale?

Second, how much money can the young man named Jiang Che in the East leverage in the entire international financial and capital markets now, if necessary?

There was no answer, and the writer admitted that he couldn't do it, and only said one sentence at the end of the article:

[Even if there is no answer, and there is no data to back it up, I still want to say that in fact, the answer to the second question is far more terrible than the answer to the first question. 】

He was right, just as he was right when he asked and didn't answer. Because no one can answer these two questions, at present, even Jiang Che himself can't give an accurate answer.

The battle situation of the defense of the port city in this life is very different from the previous life, he has deviated Soros, deviated the capital, deviated the scale and composition of the capital, and deviated the Hang Seng Index figures......

Mistakes, coincidences, the right time, the right place and the right people...... He threw himself, for the time being, on the throne of an unfamiliar territory.
