Chapter 796: Worried

"Oh?" The old man's eyebrows raised slightly, obviously feeling that Lin Yu's reply was a bit interesting, and asked in a deep voice: "You mean that the scale and degree will worsen?" ”

Lin Yu nodded heavily and said: "Southeast Asian countries have developed too rapidly in recent years, paying too much attention to the development of financial market functions and ignoring infrastructure. Their currencies in the financial market are naked under the guns of others, unprotected, and there are too many hidden dangers, which leads to arbitrage funds and state funds, which is rightfully appropriate. It's like a three-year-old child walking in the middle of the city with a pile of priceless jewelry, and anyone wants to snatch it! ”

"So you shot too?" The old man smiled and asked.

"Such a good opportunity, I will regret it if I don't make a move. In addition, I don't want this money to be made by speculators in those countries, so it is better to give it to me. Lin Yu said with a smile.

"You're right, but ......" The old man's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, and his face was a little solemn, "But if it is as you said, it has just begun, and the storm will become bigger and bigger, and sooner or later it will affect us." ”

Lin Yu smiled and said: "At present, my country has not yet joined the WTO, and the economy is not really in line with the world economy, which is not conducive to external development, but the ability to protect itself is very strong. Therefore, this financial turmoil will not have a great impact on us. At most, the export industry will be affected somewhat, and the export volume will decrease. However, the good news is that Southeast Asian countries are not the main markets for us to earn foreign exchange through exports, so the impact is limited......"

"What about Hong Kong Island?" The old man asked with some concern.

Lin Yu smiled, he knew that this was the point that the old man wanted to talk to himself.

With the return of Hong Kong Island imminent, if the country had just exercised sovereignty and been hit by a financial turmoil, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for the already fragile people.

"Grandpa, don't worry, no matter how big this storm is. No matter how strong the intensity is and how long it lasts, the impact on Hong Kong Island will not be too great. ”

"You mean that international funds and travel funds will not make a move on Hong Kong Island?" The old man stared at Lin Yu and asked. There seemed to be some disbelief in the words. Since these funds dare to target Thailand and Southeast Asian countries, there is no reason to let Hong Kong Island alone, right? What's more, even if those international speculators do not move, it is difficult for the old man to believe that Western countries will not take advantage of the fire to loot and promote behind the scenes, so as to hit China's image in the world.

"Of course not." Lin Yu replied: "These arbitrage funds. are all mercenary, and Hong Kong Island is also a piece of fat in their eyes, so of course they won't fail to take a bite. ”

"The mainland of the motherland is the strong backing of Hong Kong Island, so aren't they afraid of the determination of our Chinese government to save the city?" There was a faint glint in the old man's eyes, and he said loudly: "After all, the possibility of market trends being affected by technology is far less than being affected by basic strength. Hong Kong Island itself has a huge amount of foreign exchange reserves, which, together with our country's foreign exchange reserves, are huge. International funds and floating funds may not necessarily be dominant. ”

Hong Kong Island has just returned to the motherland to maintain the stability of the financial market. Not only out of economic necessity, but also out of political necessity. It is inevitable that international funds will take action on Hong Kong Island, and the central government will take a tough response.

However, the old man's demeanor was not relaxed.

Due to historical and practical reasons, people in the domestic financial circles have a far less thorough understanding of the international financial situation than experts from Western countries. This is difficult to make up for in the short term. This is despite the fact that the central government has joined forces with the Hong Kong Island SAR government. The strength is strong, but no one can make an accurate estimate of how huge the international travel capital is until the last step. …,

Don't look at the old man is not an economist, but for many things, he has a sensitivity and far-sighted vision that others cannot match. Soon, we can see the clues from some subtleties and associate them with the development and construction of the country. People have to be impressed that extraordinary people must have extraordinary features.

However, despite the strength of the central government and the Hong Kong Island SAR government, no one can make an accurate estimate of the extent of the huge international travel investment until the last step.

"How much is the country's foreign exchange reserves? At best, it's just over 100 billion dollars, right? Lin Yu smiled and said, "Grandpa doesn't know how much money there is in the world, right?" ”

The old man raised his eyebrows, although he didn't speak, but motioned for Lin Yu to continue.

"7 trillion!" Lin Yu said with a smile: "There are currently about 7 trillion US dollars of liquid international capital in the world. Once international speculators find out which country or region is profitable, they will immediately impact the currency of that country or region through speculation in order to make huge profits in the short term. These arbitrage funds have a very accurate grasp of the trend of the market, and when the war is in flames, the funds that follow the trend will be like a tide, and if some countries with ill intentions take advantage of this to add fuel to the fire, no one can estimate the development of the situation......

"7 trillion!" When the old man heard this, the corners of his eyes jumped slightly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were deeper, as deep as a knife carving, and his expression became solemn.

How much is 7 trillion and what can 7 trillion dollars buy? Theoretically, it is possible to buy 37.4% of U.S. stocks (including New York and NASDAQ), and it is possible to buy all Japanese companies listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange. 7 trillion, you can buy almost the world's top 100 listed oil companies (PetroChina, Sinopec, CNOOC do not need to buy), you can buy 20 Apple companies (the world's second largest market capitalization company with the most innovative ability and fashion electronics brands). 7 trillion, which could swallow 100% of all the oil produced this year, and there would be a surplus if you buy any of the above.

$7 trillion can buy all the real estate (residential and commercial) in 20 major cities in the United States, buy all the railroads in the world 20 times, all the listed airlines 40 times, or all the listed shipping companies 40 times. 3.7 billion, you can buy the world's top 100 most famous sports clubs, 100 cultural clubs and 100 libraries 40 times. According to the accounts released by the US Department of Defense, the military equipment it has is worth $414 billion, and how many times can 7 trillion dollars buy all US aircraft carriers, strategic bombers, nuclear submarines, tanks, missiles, radars, military vehicles, and tents, readers may wish to calculate for themselves.

7 trillion dollars is a lot, and most of them will make any country feel fearful, especially when the 7 trillion dollars are used against your country.

Rao is an old man who is used to seeing big scenes, and he was also shocked by the huge astronomical number mentioned in Lin Yu's mouth. If such a large amount of money really comes in, I believe that no country or region will be able to withstand such a huge impact, and the economy will be hit hard. As Lin Yu said, due to strict control and closed monetary and financial policies, such a problem will not arise on the mainland, but what about Hong Kong Island?

Could it be that just watching them collapse the economy of Hong Kong Island and give the Shanghua government a resounding slap in the face?

The old man closed his eyes slightly, frowned, and couldn't help but rub his forehead.

On the issue of Hong Kong Island, he poured too much effort into it, from the 27 th session of the United Nations General Assembly adopting the corresponding resolution by an overwhelming majority of 99 votes to 5 (the United States, Britain, France, Portugal, and South Africa), which confirmed China's sovereignty over Hong Kong Island and Macao in terms of international law, to the Third Plenary Session of the 11 th CPC Central Committee, which put the settlement of Hong Kong Island, Portugal, Austria, and Treasure Island on the agenda. From the old man's meeting with Margaret Thatcher in the Great Hall of the People, the first head-to-head confrontation between China and Britain began, and the two-year Sino-British negotiations began, to the agreement reached by the two sides in September 1984, and Thatcher officially signed it in December. From criticizing Patten's "three violations" plan to keenly pointing out that Britain's treachery must be resolutely resisted, must never make concessions, and must make preparations in all aspects, including military preparations...... From beginning to end, at critical moments and key issues, it was the old man who made the final decision. …,

After a difficult negotiation with twists and turns, Hong Kong Island is finally about to usher in such a historical moment as its return, how can the old man easily watch it suffer any more damage?

"Xiaoyu, I want to ask you, what is your attitude towards this? You won't sit idly by, will you? After thinking for a moment, the old man suddenly opened his eyes and stared straight at Lin Yu and asked, his eyes shimmering.

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Lin Yu's mouth.

Since the old man was worried about Hong Kong Island facing this upcoming financial turmoil, Lin Yu knew that the old man was looking for himself to go to Hong Kong Island this time because the drunkard did not mean to drink.

On the surface, the reason why the old man took him to Hong Kong Island with him was to play the family card through his familiar relationship with most of the visiting celebrities on Hong Kong Island, and to win over and strengthen their support for the return of Hong Kong Island. Of course, Lin Yu does not deny that the old man may indeed have such plans, but in fact, more importantly, the old man wants to know his attitude towards the financial turmoil that is about to sweep across Asia.

In fact, Lin Yu should have figured this out a long time ago, after all, no family and force would change the policy and direction that the family and force had already predetermined just because of their personal relationship. No matter how good the personal relationship is, it is insignificant in front of the family's interests. In order to support Lin Yu, tying up the entire family and forces is too unconventional.
