"Uncle Hong, are you still inspecting?"

At seven o'clock in the evening, when the news broadcast ended, Wu Tian dialed Mr. Hong's phone and asked with a smile.

If there was anything more important in '98 than the battle to defend Hong Kong Island's finances, there was no doubt that it was the issue of flood control.

As early as early April, the water conservancy and meteorological departments predicted that the Yangtze River and the two rainy belts in the northern region indicated that a basin-wide flood might occur on the Yangtze River in '98. The national flood prevention work has been mentioned in an important position.

Naturally, when Wu Tian reported the war situation on Hong Kong Island to Mr. Hong, he brought up a mouthful of words about the grim problem of flood control this year, and Mr. Hong put the flood control work in an important position.

In mid-June, under the influence of heavy rain, the Poyang Lake water system burst into floods, and the water level successively exceeded the highest water level in history; The Zishui, Yuanjiang and Xiangjiang rivers in the Dongting Lake system also flooded. The floodwaters of the two lakes flowed into the Yangtze River, causing the water level below Jianli in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to rise rapidly, and the warning level has been exceeded since June 24.

Mr. Hong naturally attaches more and more importance to flood work, and rarely has to go to the front line to inspect the flood control work.

"Well, the shape is more severe...... Mr. Hong said, "but the embankment is fine, it should be able to withstand ......."

"Uncle Hong, how do I feel that you don't have much confidence in this?" Wu Tian said.

"What do you kid have to say?" Mr. Hong said angrily.

"I heard that some local leaders have repaired the river embankment in order to make political achievements. But it's really not very good...... "Wu Tian said. "Uncle Hung. When you inspect it, you can look at the surface of the embankment is bright and solid, and you mainly have to see if the inside is genuine. ”

"Huh?" Mr. Hong paused, but did not continue to discuss this topic with Wu Tian, and said, "You kid called, what is the matter?" I'm still waiting to drive back. ”

"Uncle Hong, what else can I do when I call. Or is it a matter of foreign exchange reserves, have you decided? How much are you going to approve me? Wu Tian said.

"There's movement over there?" Mr. Hong frowned.

"No, but it's fast," Wu Tian said, "The little devil has been beaten to the end, and Solo's gang is sweeping the tail, if nothing happens, they will be killed on Hong Kong Island within a month, and there is not much time left for us to prepare......"

Mr. Hong paused and said, "Let me think about it again." I'll give you an answer when I return to the capital. ”

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************************

hung up the phone, but Wu Tian couldn't help but sigh at the current situation that Mr. Hong was facing.

years. Mr. Hong has been committed to the adjustment and control of the domestic economy, and it is easy to make some achievements, Mr. Hong has just been in position, and he needs to make persistent efforts to continue to move forward, but at this moment, he encountered the East Asian financial turmoil, Hong Kong Island is in danger, but the storm is not over, and when he is facing the last fierce battle, he has encountered floods again, and the problems that have broken out one after another are even more head-catching.

Under the internal and external troubles, it is difficult to feel sorry for this old man who is almost ancient, such a heavy pressure makes Wu Tian unbearable......

"Xiaotian, I just received the news that Solo has begun to gather funds...... Yang Xiaoya said softly.

Wu Tian took his thoughts back, took a deep breath, and said, "Let's start preparing too......

"...... over there in the capital," Yang Xiaoya asked.

"For the time being, let's not take into account the decision over there, just calculate our own strength, and how much we can do is as good as we can." Wu Tian said.

Although according to the calculation, if you want to achieve an absolute victory in this decisive battle, you must be inseparable from the support of the capital, but even if the capital does not support it, Wu Tian is sure that Solo will return in vain, but there is no way to let him spit out all the food he has already eaten.

"Okay, I'll get people started."

Yang Xiaoya said and was about to leave the study, but Wu Tianyi grabbed her wrist and pulled her to her side with a gentle pull.

Looking at Wu Tian's deep gaze, Yang Xiaoya felt an astringent tenderness in her heart, and stroked Wu Tian's hair......

In the past year or so, Wu Tian has been under considerable pressure, especially in the recent period, seeing that a major war is imminent, the energy of the capital has shifted from this financial war to the issue of flood control in the interior, and the intensity of support for Hong Kong Island and Wu Tian has inevitably declined, and Wu Tian is under much greater pressure.

Even though he had encountered many huge problems, Wu Tian had never worked as hard as this time.

Because no matter how big the problem is, the responsibility that needs to be borne is nothing more than related to himself, but once he is defeated this time, it will not only affect Wu Tian himself, but also affect the prosperity of the entire Hong Kong Island, and even the rise and fall of the entire country......

"Am I being too arrogant? If he hadn't lent Solo 30 billion at the beginning, the current situation would not be so difficult to resist......" Wu Tian put his head on Yang Xiaoya's lower abdomen and said with a sigh.

"I don't think you did anything wrong, if you want to blame it, you can only blame the unreliable ...... of this ally in Beijing," Yang Xiaoya said comfortingly.

Wu Tian couldn't help but smile bitterly. The ally of the capital is indeed a little unreliable. Wu Tian only relied on his memory. During the financial crisis on Hong Kong Island in the last century, the capital gave strong support, but it did not want the appearance of its own shield in this life, but let the capital have a reliance in this regard, but was unwilling to do its best to support it......

It's just ridiculous that I didn't calculate this beforehand?

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************************

In July, rainfall began to shift to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and although the flood peaks exceeded historical levels on several occasions, they were overall. The danger is not very serious......

At the same time, although the Hong Kong Island stock market is also continuing to decline, the magnitude is still within a controllable range......

Wu Tian also finally received Mr. Hong's reply, and the capital finally decided to provide support for the defense of Hong Kong Island.

Of course, Wu Tian didn't expect the capital to promise to do his best to take out all the foreign exchange reserves to save the market, and in the end, although the share given by the capital was not very ideal, but for Wu Tian, it was enough, even if he couldn't completely kill Solo. It's enough for him to bleed somewhat......

The situation is getting tense and the final Armageddon is coming......

"There are few days. Now that the flood situation in the mainland is strict, the attention of the newspapers and periodicals is all focused on the flood situation, which has a great impact on the publicity of this operation......" Song Zhuyi said with a sad brow.

In the past two months, there have been more and more reports on the flood situation in the mainland, especially the recent flood situation has become more and more severe, and even the focus of attention of the people on Hong Kong Island has been attracted to it.

In this regard, Song Zhuyi can't help but be worried, you know, in this operation, his task is to boost market confidence, through various channels, to publicize the good news, to find a way to maintain the mentality of the people on Hong Kong Island, to avoid being infected by the herd effect caused by the defeat of Southeast Asian countries.

Since Song Zhuyi accepted the task last year, he has been very successful, and although the Hong Kong Island stock market has not been affected, it has always been cost-effective and strong, and there have been no major problems.

But in the past two months, affected by the flood situation in the mainland, the media began to shift their attention in a swarm, even Song Zhuyi, it is difficult to create too much "good news", after all, the media's "public morality" makes it impossible for them to devote more pages to Song Zhuyi.

"If there is no flood situation in the mainland, Solo is afraid that he may not be able to attack Hong Kong Island again." Wu Tian said with a smile.

Through the previous shocks, Solo naturally had already realized that with the capital's strong support for Hong Kong Island, coupled with Zhongtian's unclear attitude, his chances of winning were actually not high. However, the focus of the Beijing's attention has naturally shifted to the flood situation that has a larger scope of influence and is stricter, and the support for Hong Kong Island is obviously not so high, which is equivalent to giving Solo an opportunity to take advantage of.

How could the treacherous Solo let go of this great opportunity?

"Tian Shao, if this continues, the situation is not good for us, we should still find a way to reverse the attention...... Song Zhuyi said.

"Hehe, that's not necessary, don't forget that we still have a killer feature, hehe......" Wu Tian looked at Yang Xiaoya with a smile and said.

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************************

In fact, in the end, the financial war is still fought in psychological warfare and public opinion warfare.

The attacking side takes a ferocious stance first. And then affect the psychology of the population. Let them think that the market is bound to collapse. Triggering a sell-off crisis can officially lead to a market crash - after all, the funds in the hands of any one attacker are only a fraction of the entire market, and the vast majority of funds are still in the hands of many retail investors.

The defending side naturally has to guide the public's confidence in the market as much as possible, so as to unite to resist the offensive of the attacker.

For example, the previous attacks by Solo were ultimately unsuccessful, and the Hong Kong Island government showed its determination. is the root of success.

However, as the war drags on and the market weakens, even if the Hong Kong Island government remains determined, it will be difficult to convince the public......

On August 5, before the opening of the Hong Kong Island market, the stock market of the United States fell sharply, and the Dow Jones index fell nearly 300 points. International currency speculators sold nearly HK$40 billion in the currency market in half a day!

According to Wu Tian's memory, this number is obviously much higher than in the previous life.

Solo "loaned" 30 billion from Zhongtian. The benefits of their sweep are many, and they have won a lot in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea. Let them have more ammunition to hit the Hong Kong Island market.

The scale of $40 billion is not small, but the Hong Kong Island Monetary Authority has reversed its passive approach in the past and used Hong Kong's fiscal reserves to absorb the entire amount, stabilizing the foreign exchange market at the level of HK$7.75 per US$1, and the interbank market call interest has only increased slightly.

The next day, the speculators led by Solo sold off more than 50 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority made a new move, not only collecting all the Hong Kong dollars they had received, but also depositing the Hong Kong dollars they had absorbed into the Hong Kong banking system, thus playing a role in stabilizing the interest rate on interbank loans.

Solo was furious about this, he knew very well how much money the Hong Kong Island government could use, even according to his sources, the capital's support for Hong Kong Island was not capable of swallowing this huge order of nearly 100 billion at once!

If there are no Zhongtian's hands and feet in this, I don't believe it if I kill Solo!

However, before Solo called Yang Xiaoya to question the betrayal of his allies, Zhongtian publicly announced that he would fully support Hong Kong Island to save the city!

Yang Xiaoya, who has always kept a low profile, personally participated in the TV interview program, discussed the current financial situation with the Hong Kong Island Monetary Authority, financial secretary officials and financial experts, and confidently announced that Hong Kong Island will inevitably succeed in repelling international speculators and protecting Hong Kong Island's financial resources from losses......

For a time, the people of Hong Kong Island rejoiced and their confidence was doubled......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************************

Zhongtian's impact on Hong Kong Island Finance is absolutely significant.

Since last year, in fact, Zhongtian's image in the hearts of the people on Hong Kong Island is not glorious, from the beginning he joined forces with Solo to sweep the Southeast Asian market, and later when Solo attacked, Zhongtian has also been "standing by". Especially the $30 billion loan. It also made Zhongtian's image fall to the bottom. There are not a few people who criticize or even scold the people on Hong Kong Island.

Although Zhongtian did not participate in the second round of Solo's sweep of Southeast Asia, Zhongtian was not idle, and invested a lot of money in the acquisition of bankrupt companies in Japan and South Korea, and Zhongtian's image was naturally impossible to reverse.

In particular, in recent months, the influence of public opinion has begun to weaken, the stock market on Hong Kong Island has repeatedly declined, and many people have complained about Zhongtian -- if Zhongtian can use the funds invested in overseas markets to save the market. Is it still the current situation?

When the depression of anger was about to erupt, Zhongtian finally began to "return to the right path", and Mr. Yang finally decided to take back the funds and energy to Hong Kong Island and defend Hong Kong Island!

Mr. Yang discussed on the TV screen for more than an hour, and the effect was amazing, and the next day, the Hang Seng Index, which had fallen to 6,800 points, rose by more than 400 points to 7,200 points!

At the same time as the decisive battle on Hong Kong Island began, the flood situation in the mainland became more and more severe.

On the same day that Zhongtian announced his entry into the war. The Jiujiang embankment has burst......

Mr. Hong visited Jiujiang again and faced the disaster. Mr. Hong burst into tears and issued an angry rebuke of "tofu scum project, bastard project......

"Oh my God, it's only my fault that I didn't listen to you at the beginning, and I investigated the situation of the embankment in depth......"

Mr. Hong sighed into the phone, full of self-blame.

"Uncle Hong, I can't blame you for this, I just heard rumors and speculation at the beginning, and I didn't insist ......too much," Wu Tian said, "Besides, under the circumstances at that time, you can only choose to trust them......"

When Mr. Hong inspected for the first time, he was faced with the flood situation in front, and the first priority was flood prevention rather than investigating corruption, besides, even if Wu Tian reminded that there was a problem with the embankment, who could believe that the problem of the embankment would be so severe?

The Jiujiang Dam was originally built in the 50s, it is a mud embankment, and only two years ago on the basis of the original earthen embankment, a concrete flood control wall was built, purely because of the bright appearance, and even the bright appearance is problematic - the concrete is not made of steel bars, but replaced by bamboo, and even in some sections even the bamboo tendons are saved!

If you think with your toes, you can guess how much corruption is behind this project, which was originally used to protect the safety of people's lives and property. Defeat happens......

And this incident is enough to illustrate the corruption in the country in recent years. What has come the question of defeat, and how much responsibility do some people have to bear for this......

"Uncle Hong, the person who really has to take responsibility is definitely not you, you are also deceived by those guys who claim to be 'impregnable'......" Wu Tian said, "However, now is not the time to hold them accountable, we must first withstand the flood peak, and then talk about the investigation after the disaster is over......

Mr. Hong sighed, changed the topic, and said, "Xiaotian, how is the situation on Hong Kong Island now?" ”

"The killer feature is used, of course, the effect is ......," Wu Tian said with a smile, "Today, the Hang Seng Index has risen to seven thousand two." ”

"Hehe, I finally heard good news...... Mr. Hong laughed with exhaustion, you must know that the flood problem during this time is too depressing......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************************

Solo was quite dissatisfied with Zhongtian's attitude towards entering the battlefield, but in view of Zhongtian's strong strength, Solo also had to restrain a little, and the situation was temporarily stalemate for a few days.

At the same time, Zhongtian's actions on the side of Japan and South Korea have not stopped at all.

Zhongtian Bank has successively acquired a number of Japanese and Korean banks, and Zhongtian Investment has also announced one after another. Commenced an evaluation plan for the acquisition of a number of start-up companies in Bangzi Country......

The news is out. There was another riot on Hong Kong Island.

I thought that Zhongtian was ready to defend Hong Kong Island with all his might. But I don't want to know that in fact, Zhongtian is still planning to invest funds in the acquisition and expansion, you must know that the objects of the acquisition plans announced by Zhongtian are all giant enterprises, and if they really want to implement it, the funds required are astronomical, and where can Zhongtian still have the ability to defend Hong Kong Island?

"Although Solo is very arrogant, he is also very suspicious, I am afraid that this is not enough to favor ......him," Yang Xiaoya frowned and said.

"Huh. Those who engage in finance have a bit of a gambler's temperament, and even if he doubts it, he has to gamble. Wu Tian said with a smile, "The key problem is that his arrogance makes him unwilling to fail, if he retreats at this moment, then he is not Solo." ”

Since last year, he has been sweeping Southeast Asia, and wherever Solo goes, he will inevitably collapse and be invincible. That is, he hit a wall one after another on Hong Kong Island, with his madness and arrogance. How can you be willing to evacuate? Although Zhongtian is fearful, Zhongtian's movements at this moment show that most of Zhongtian's funds are actually being invested in projects to pick up cheap in Japan and South Korea, and the amount of support that can support Hong Kong Island will not be too much.

At the same time, the news has a very big impact on the confidence of the people on Hong Kong Island, and the market will inevitably be greatly shaken......

Wu Tian put such an opportunity in front of Solo, how could he hold back and not do it?

"You, you're really treacherous...... Yang Xiaoya glanced at Wu Tian and sighed with a smile, "It's just that I pity my reputation, I don't know how many people are scolding me tonight......"

"Heroes, it......'s always hard to understand," Wu Tian smiled.

"What kind of hero am I? I feel like I'm too insidious to be brought by you......" Yang Xiaoya said with a smile.

I have to say that in this war, Zhongtian's style is really a bit insidious and cunning, while defending Hong Kong Island, Zhongtian has not reaped any benefits, although in order to defend Hong Kong Island, Zhongtian has supported a lot of funds from the Hong Kong Island government, but at the same time, Zhongtian has not taken the opportunity to acquire industrial enterprises that have been hit by the crisis and gone bankrupt, which is quite huge for the improvement of Zhongtian's hard power......

*************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************** ***************************************************************************************************************************

On 14 August, the Hang Seng Index fell by 400 points and returned to the 6,008 mark again after the market opened half an hour after the market opened.

Solo finally couldn't hold it anymore and began to try to short five billion Hong Kong dollars again.

Ten minutes later, the Hong Kong Island government immediately entered the market and ate all the 5 billion.

In this way, Solo is relieved -- if the Hong Kong Island government does not intervene and allows the attack to work, Solo will see that this is a trap. But as soon as the Hong Kong Island government made a move, it made Solo think that the Hong Kong Island government was still trying its best to hold on, but Zhongtian's inaction was thought by Solo that the funds in Zhongtian's hands were already in difficulty......

However, for the sake of insurance, half an hour later, Solo once again tentatively invested 10 billion.

This time, the Hong Kong Island government delayed for nearly half an hour before making another move, but this time the Hong Kong Island government ate 8 billion yuan, looking like it was already powerless, and after another 10 minutes, Zhongtian followed suit and ate the remaining 2 billion yuan......

Solo was excited, in his opinion, the Hong Kong Island government has exhausted its strength, and Zhongtian is obviously not as they announced a few days ago, will do their best to defend Hong Kong Island, looking at their reluctant posture, it is enough to prove it.

Solo immediately started an all-out attack with confidence, and invested all the funds that could be urgently withdrawn in his hands.

Although fighting a financial war has always been a long-term battle, the victory of one game is also very important for the overall war, especially in the current situation, if the Hong Kong Island government and Zhongtian can be defeated in one fell swoop, it means that the confidence of the Hong Kong Island stock market can be completely defeated, and the battle will be won or lost!

Solo has withdrawn another 20 billion funds to short the Hong Kong dollar, and at the same time increased the futures contract again!

However, what Solo didn't expect was that his action this time finally appeared in a situation that he was most unwilling to see - after he invested 20 billion and just entered the market one after another, the Hong Kong Island government and Zhongtian actually took action again and ate all the 20 billion in one go!

Solo was dumbfounded......

Hit the trick!

For a while, Solo understood that from the rumor that Zhongtian had acquired Japanese and South Korean companies, to this joint performance with the Hong Kong Island government, it was all a good scam, and it was all a scam for the scammers to invest all their money!

Solo was fooled, but he didn't despair.

You must know that even if this time it still failed to completely defeat the Hong Kong Island market, but so far, although the Hong Kong dollar has not collapsed, Cheng Dù, who has fallen in the Hong Kong stock futures index, has made him a lot of money.

Besides, on another battlefield, Solo and the others are also making this money, they only need to transfer the funds there back and launch an attack on Hong Kong Island again, and they are not afraid that they will be able to hold on......

It's a pity that Solo is shrewd in his calculations, but he doesn't know that his other battlefield is actually Zhongtian's territory......
