The red phone on the desk of the man in Rendanhu suddenly rang, he picked up the phone and put it to his ear, and a familiar voice came from the receiver, but the tone was not so polite at the moment: "Mr. Ito, I think you need to explain what happened just now!"

Ito coughed dryly and said into the microphone, "Mr. Black, I'm very sorry for what happened before. It just so happened that I was away for a short while, but I didn't expect my opponent to launch a decisive attack at that moment. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to get away from the responsibility, I mean the opponent's luck is too good. ”

"It's not this nonsense that I want to hear!" Blake yelled into the phone a little angrily: "What I want now is your solution to the current situation, not your apology! In order to knock down the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index, our BlackRock fund has sold a large number of shares, and was originally going to redeem them after the stock price falls, but now it is impossible, and we cannot accept such a loss in any case! Mr. Ito, you need to bear all the responsibility for what you have done!"

"Mr. Black," Ito's voice gradually increased, "I think the main cause of the loss is not me, but the unexpected large amount of money intervention, and I feel that I am afraid that the Hong Kong authorities have taken action." ”

Hearing the reason Ito said, Blake was silent, he had the same feeling before, but unfortunately the market flipped too fast, especially the stocks manipulated by the BlackRock fund, it was like a rocket, and it soared into the sky in an instant, leaving them no chance to react at all. Blake also speculated that it might be support from Chinese mainland, but after all, his BlackRock fund had suffered huge losses, and although he could understand Ito's statement, he was unwilling to accept it and could not accept it.

After thinking for a while, Blake decided to stare at Ito first and then said, "Mr. Ito, after all, it was your mistake that caught us off guard, so you must be responsible for the loss of our BlackRock Fund!"

"Mr. Black, maybe your BlackRock Fund has suffered a lot of losses, but our cornerstone fund has also suffered a huge loss this time. You have to understand that such an outcome is not what we want, so it is not reasonable for you to hold us liable for the losses of the BlackRock Fund. Saying this, Ito's tone gradually softened a lot: "Mr. Black, I don't think it's time to argue about who is responsible, but to discuss how to make up for the previous losses." ”

"Make it up?" Hmph!" Blake snorted coldly in his heart, how can it be made up if it has already closed, in two days there will definitely be more funds that can be deployed in Chinese mainland, and it will only be more difficult to fight in the stock market, now BlackRock Fund has only lost a third of its funds, and there is a chance to turn over, there is no need to risk in this dangerous place.

"Rest assured, Mr. Black, I think we still have a chance. Don't you notice that we have all overlooked one thing, there is no accident in the foreign exchange market today, I believe that Mr. Robertson's Tiger Fund has made a lot of money, compared with us, the Tiger Fund takes much less risk, but can get more returns than us, don't you think it is a little disproportionate......? "I think both of us have suffered huge losses now, and since the stock market is no longer functional, why don't we all go and support Mr. Robertson?"

Ito's proposal made Blake's heart flutter, yes, the world is big, and people don't destroy the world for themselves, what can be more important than recovering their own losses, so he also smiled: "Hehe, Mr. Ito has a point, it's time for us to 'help' our allies." ”

Next, Ito and Blake discussed on the phone for another ten minutes before hanging up, and then called Robertson one after another, explaining that he planned to help in the foreign exchange market. Robertson happened to be a little tight on funds, and he didn't transfer all the Tiger Funds to Hong Kong this time, after all, Southeast Asia is easier to start, so the majority of the head still stays in Southeast Asian countries to quietly build positions. After three days of operation, coupled with the fierce battle in the afternoon, Robertson had little money left, originally he planned to find a few British-funded banks for short-term financing, but now since the allies are willing to help, it can be used to buffer, so Robertson happily agreed.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Hong Kong foreign exchange market, which had been quiet for a while, fluctuated again, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority intervened again. At first, the situation was nothing special, Zhang Lexing's junior cloud quickly found the traces of funds A, B, and C from the financial data, but it didn't take long for him to find that there was an abnormality, fund A was still honestly short Hong Kong dollars, but funds B and C suddenly joined the long army, and as a result, the exchange rate tug-of-war that was once barely evenly matched was broken, and the exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars began to slowly rise. By the end of the evening, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar had risen all the way to the level of three days earlier, as if it had not been attacked. Although Zhang Lexing was a little confused, he knew that this round of attacks on Hong Kong should have been dodged.

……

Robertson was a little angry, he didn't expect that he was kind enough to let his two allies come to the foreign exchange market to make some money, but he ended up betrayed, although he had no direct evidence, but with his years of experience, he could see at a glance who was the culprit in the end. Fortunately, his attack on Hong Kong this time was only a trial, and there was no Tiger Fund to invest in it entirely, although he suffered certain losses due to the betrayal of the two allies, but as long as the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate was beaten down after three months, these losses were no longer losses at present. However, Robertson has already decided that he will not look for such an unreliable ally next time, and it is better to do it by himself than this, at least there will be no internal ghosts to make trouble.

On the evening of August 22, the HKMA issued an urgent notice to tighten monetary policy and raise interbank lending rates, which was tantamount to a significant increase in the cost of speculation for those speculators who borrowed to sell Hong Kong dollars to buy US dollars, and for a time a large number of hedge funds left Hong Kong in search of new prey.

On August 23, several wealthy people in Hong Kong announced a number of local investment projects, coupled with the news released by Oriental Industrial Group, will jointly build Universal Studios in Hong Kong with Universal Pictures of the United States, which is expected to cover an area of 23.8 hectares, including film and television shooting bases, movie-themed amusement parks, supporting resort hotels and other facilities. The succession of good news greatly boosted the confidence of the Hong Kong people, and the shares of related companies rose again and again in the following days, and the haze of the previous attack on Hong Kong disappeared without a trace in a blink of an eye.

At the beginning of September, as a number of blue-chip and red-chip listed companies repurchased shares, the situation in Hong Kong became more and more stable, and at this time, Zhang Lexing waited for the investigation report of Russell on Gilead Sciences in the United States and Roche Pharmaceutical in Switzerland.

"Gilead Sciences, Inc., founded in 1987 and located in California, USA, is an independent company engaged in biochemical research......

Founded in 1896 and headquartered in Basel, Switzerland, Roche is a research-oriented health business ......"

Zhang Lexing took a hasty look at the introductions of the two companies, and then turned the investigation report to the back, intending to find out if there was any Tuffy he was interested in, but after looking at it again and again for a while, he didn't find any words close to Duffy or Duffy from the report.

"Haven't you started studying Tamiflu yet?" Zhang Lexing did not give up, and carefully read the report from beginning to end, but still did not gain anything, but saw a paragraph at the end of the report, which said that an anti-influenza drug developed by Gilead Sciences in the United States is in the second phase of clinical trials, and due to lack of trial funds, Gilead Sciences has resold the relevant rights and interests of oseltamivir to Roche Pharmaceutical in Switzerland.

Zhang Lexing read this suspicious text carefully several times, but he still couldn't find the connection with Tamiflu between the lines, although oseltamivir is also a drug for the treatment of influenza, but the same Gankang and Contec are also for the treatment of influenza, so they can't all be regarded as Tamiflu.

Since he couldn't find Tamiflu for the time being, Zhang Lexing had to consider whether to think of a way from Roche Pharmaceutical, the ultimate owner of Tamiflu, so he turned back to the previous information about Roche Pharmaceutical, Switzerland, and looked at it carefully. Before he could read a few pages, Zhang Lexing couldn't help but slap the table angrily, because he saw the introduction of the shareholding structure of Roche Pharmaceutical.

The information reads: "...... The shares of Roche Pharmaceutical are divided into two kinds, one is the stock with voting rights (decision-making shares), accounting for 19% of the total number of outstanding shares, and the other is the non-voting shares (ordinary shares), accounting for 81% of the total number of outstanding shares, according to the original design of the Hoffmann family, the actual controller of Roche company, investors with non-voting shares can participate in dividends, but have no voting rights on the company's business decisions, and the control of Roche is concentrated in 19% of the voting shares. Both stocks are circulating in the market, but the price is not the same, and usually the price of a decision-making stock is more than five times that of a common stock......

The Hoffman family and the associated Ollie family together own 50.1% of the 19% decision-making shares, which is equivalent to 9.52% of the total outstanding shares, and the two families have entered into a partnership agreement to act together, which is equivalent to having actual control of Roche Pharmaceuticals......"

"Damn dual shares!" Zhang Lexing couldn't help but scold, this kind of dual equity company is the most troublesome to acquire, taking Swiss Roche Pharmaceutical as an example, without considering the financial factor, even if Zhang Lexing buys 81% of the common shares and 9.48% of the decision-making shares, he still can't get control of Roche Pharmaceutical, and can only become a fool who sends money to others to spend. Zhang Lexing frowned, it seems that it is impossible to fight the idea of Roche Pharmaceutical in Switzerland, at least before the partnership agreement expires, and he can only find another way to get Tamiflu.

Zhang Lexing took out a piece of scratch paper and wrote everything he remembered about Duffy on it with a pen, "The developers seem to be Gilead Sciences in the United States and Roche Pharmaceutical in Switzerland...... The main ingredient in Tamiflu includes shikimic acid, which is extracted from star anise...... And this medicine is used to treat the flu, and it has a special ...... for bird flu," and then thought as he drew casually on scratch paper with a pen.

Suddenly, Zhang Lexing's eyes stayed on the words "star anise" and "shikimic acid", he remembered that star anise seemed to be a specialty of Guangxi, originally only produced as a seasoning, and later because Tamiflu had risen the tide, maybe you can use your brains on this, even if you can't monopolize the preparation of "shikimic acid", at least you have to create some obstacles for the Swiss Roche Pharmaceutical, but you can't let them use avian flu to easily earn our Chinese money.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lexing made a few phone calls and arranged two groups of people, one to Guangxi to learn about the situation of star anise, and the other to learn about shikimic acid and the relationship between it and anti-influenza virus drugs, so as to provide information reference for the next decision-making.

At the same time that Zhang Lexing sent people to investigate around, on the other side of the ocean, in the United States, there was an event that had a far-reaching impact on the entire game industry, and it also brought a huge shock to the development of the domestic game industry.
