Although they agreed to Cen Yinquan's request in unison, Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao did not keep their promise, but met with Zhong Shi early in advance.

Originally, in their assumptions, the two were just going to convince Jong Seok to support their own side of the argument. However, to their surprise, in addition to agreeing with them, Zhong Shi actually put forward a very shocking proposal. And what is even more unexpected is that Ren Yigang was actually moved by this mention.

Although he is a "financial emperor", with hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves, he can cause turmoil in the entire market with any word he says, and his status in Hong Kong is like that of Greenspan of the Federal Reserve, but the pressure on Ren Yigang's shoulders is not something ordinary people can imagine. Not to mention anything else, let's just say that he is in the prime of life, only in his fifties, but he is already full of silver hair and wrinkles.

Now there is a very tempting mention in front of him, which can relieve the financial pressure on his shoulders, second, he can get rid of the infamy of government intervention, and third, he can also unite other different voices in the HKMA, killing birds with one stone, so that Ren Yigang, who has been through the storm for a long time, can't help but be moved.

As for the benefits that Zhong Shi could get, he naturally knew it. However, there is nothing he can do about it, because even if the HKMA does not agree, the other party can act on its own. And now that the other party is willing to take the initiative, maybe he really wants to help the Hong Kong government.

However, some of the details still need to be discussed by him and Financial Secretary Shun Yin-kuen to draw up a complete battle plan together. It can only be reported to the chief executive for approval, so after urgent consultation with Shen Liantao and other cadres, he dialed the phone number of Cen Yinquan's home.

……

After finishing the meeting with Ren Yigang and others, Cen Yinquan thought about it and walked into the chief executive's office on the top floor, where he needed to explain the current economic situation to the chief executive.

It is also funny to say that although he has only been in office for a little more than a year, Hong Kong under the rule of the chief executive has already faced several economic catastrophes. During this period, although the chief executive made repeated appearances to try to boost investor confidence, almost every time the chief executive "pointed fingers" at the stock market, it was not long after that. The Hang Seng Index will go in the opposite direction of what he is talking about. After a few times. The chief executive has a "reputation" as "the worst stock commentator" among the people.

"Okay, thank you, Chief, I will certainly live up to your hopes and work hard to maintain the stability and prosperity of Hong Kong. Don't let this good situation be ruined! ”

When Cen Yinquan walked into the chief executive's office. I saw the Chief Executive standing up straight. Holding the microphone into the red telephone nodding and talking about something, his demeanor and posture are lively like a trained elementary school student. When he saw Cen Yinquan walk in, the chief executive just nodded slightly towards him. I continued to listen to the sound in the microphone.

Cen Yinquan suddenly realized that the chief executive might be answering a call from an important person in Yanjing, this discovery made him suddenly unnatural, looked left and right, and there was really no place to hide, so he had to go to the end of the room and pretend to concentrate on admiring the bauhinia flag on the wall.

The Hong Kong Government Office Building on Queen's Road was left behind by the British government of Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong government continued to work here 97 years later. Not far from each other, there are many government buildings such as the Security Bureau Building and the Department of Justice Building. Therefore, it is also known as Government Hill, which is the core area of Central, Hong Kong, and can be called the heart of Hong Kong.

Originally, the Chief Executive's Office was located on Alice Road in Central, Hong Kong Island, and it was also the Governor's Office during the British Government of Hong Kong. It's just that this day coincided with the open day of the Government House, so the Chief Executive temporarily moved to the Government Headquarters.

Because this is not the place where the chief executive works every day, the decoration equipment is a little rudimentary, and the spacious office has only a desk and a row of bookshelves, and there are basically no other office items. On the chief executive's desk, there are two small flags of the Chinese government and the Hong Kong government, and on one side of the flag, there are several telephones of different colors, and some other common office supplies. On the left hand side of the chief executive, there is a thick stack of papers, which will be sent directly to the relevant departments of the Administration Department after processing, in the same building, which saves the staff a lot of leg work.

The chief executive, as always, wore a dark suit and a bright red tie, and the whole person looked young and energetic. Although he is no longer young, and the bags under his eyes are amazingly big, it is still necessary to maintain a certain image once he appears in public.

The chief executive has a public event today, so there is not much time left for Cen Yinquan.

After putting down the phone, the chief executive slowly sat back in his position, glanced at Cen Yinquan lightly, raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then lowered his eyes, took a copy of the article and looked at it, and said while reading: "There is not much time, you quickly pick up the important part and say, I will attend a public event later." ”

"That's right, the first to be born!" Cen Yinquan hurriedly sat down on the seat opposite the desk, quickly sorted out his thoughts, and said, "The HKMA has a different judgment on the current economic situation, and they generally have two views, each of which has a different response strategy. So the problem now is that if international speculators come again, it will be difficult for them to come to a unified approach. ”

"International speculators?"

The pen that was scribbling on the paper stopped, and the chief executive took off his reading glasses and glanced deeply at Cen Yinquan on the other side, "Did they appear again?" What a bunch of guys who don't stop. Since there are two different views, you can briefly explain both views and coping strategies, and analyze the pros and cons of them. ”

Three minutes later, after Cen Yinquan explained both views and coping strategies in the most concise words, the chief executive fell into a deep silence. At this time, Cen Yinquan didn't even dare to take a breath, for fear that he would make a noise and disturb the chief executive's consideration, and the room suddenly became quiet.

"Do you know who just called?" It took a full five minutes for the Chief Executive to speak again, first glancing out the window at the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour. didn't wait for Cen Yinquan to answer, so he said to himself, "It's the Prime Minister of Zhuge Pavilion." He just revealed on the phone that according to some information, US funds have once again focused their attention on Hong Kong, and Premier Zhuge has asked us to make full preparations and be bound to maintain Hong Kong's prosperity and stability. ”

"Maybe you don't know it, Premier Zhuge Guan is very concerned about us in Hong Kong, and he has repeatedly instructed me to cherish today's hard-won good situation. And even revealed. If there is a difficulty on the part of Hong Kong. The state has prepared a sum of money that can be transferred to Hong Kong at any time to deal a head-on blow to international speculators. ”

"Actually, these are inconsequential details. What made me feel the most pressure, Prime Minister Zhuge hinted. Hong Kong can give up something appropriately. Nor can the intentions of international speculators be realized. ”

"He means ......"

Cen Yinquan was stunned for a moment. He's not stupid. Naturally, I quickly understood the meaning of the chief executive's words, which was a hint from the central government, or a request for a little better. The Hong Kong government can abandon its policy of non-intervention in the market at an appropriate time, and it can no longer allow international speculators to wantonly undermine Hong Kong's economy.

"That's what I mean!"

The Chief Executive nodded, his face expressionless, "Although there will be a considerable number of adverse reactions and a lot of criticism as a result, compared to these, we, as the chief executive of seven million citizens, still have to put the well-being of the citizens first." Sometimes, if something has to be done, then let's do it! Remember, this is not the time for us to care about reputation, because what they want is not only money, but also the stability of Hong Kong's financial system and the hearts and minds of the seven million. ”

The depressed Cen Yinquan had forgotten how he returned home, and when he was lying in bed, he suddenly realized that he was about to face off against Soros and others, not only in the Hong Kong dollar market, but also in the Hong Kong stocks, Hang Seng futures index and other markets.

It was a battle, not only about the shattering of his belief in a liberal economic government and non-intervention, but also because the consequences of the battle were unpredictable, because he was about to use the money of the entire Hong Kong people, and if he lost, the whole of Hong Kong would lose money.

On the one hand, there is a huge pressure, and on the other hand, there is no way to avoid it. Shum Yinquan is very clear that Hong Kong has a good economy, no foreign debt, a balanced fiscal budget, no deficit, and international trade is also comparable to imports and exports. Such an economy is fundamentally different from other countries or regions in crisis, and theoretically should not be the target of attack, but in fact, Hong Kong has been repeatedly attacked by international speculators, so even if he wanted to stay out of the matter, Shum Yinquan could not do it.

Thinking like this, Cen Yinquan, who was already in a trance, fell asleep in a daze. I don't know how long it took, with a terrible scream, Cen Yinquan suddenly sat up from the bed, gasping for breath, and woke up from the nightmare.

"Darling, why are you crying?"

Mrs. Cen, who was woken up, turned on the bedside lamp and was stunned to find that the panicked Cen Yinquan was in tears, which immediately made her panic and quickly got up to find a towel.

"Crying?"

Cen Yinquan, who was unconscious, came to his senses and quickly wiped his face, only to find that his face was wet, and he didn't know if it was cold sweat or tears, at this time he didn't care about recognizing what these things were, but kept thinking in his heart, "How long have I not cried?" ”

At this moment, the belltone at the bedside suddenly rang, and after Cen Yinquan glanced at it in a daze, he subconsciously picked up the phone, "Hey, hello, I'm Cen Yinquan." ”

“……”

"What? You repeat? ”

“……”

"Is this true? Are you sure? ”

“……”

"Great! I'm going to go over now, and I have to keep this young man. Remember, no matter what conditions he proposes, say yes first. We'll talk about it when I'm here, that's all! ”

After finishing speaking, Cen Yinquan didn't listen to the other party's explanation, and suddenly hung up the phone, and then walked under the bed, taking off his pajamas as he went, ready to change into clothes for going out.

"Darling, it's so late, where are you going?" Mrs. Cen, who had just taken out a towel from the bathroom, saw Cen Yinquan looking happy as soon as she went out, putting on her shirt and walking out of the bedroom.

Cen Yinquan didn't care about answering at this time, hurriedly put on his shirt and coat, and slapped his tie indiscriminately, and then kissed his wife's face with a "click", and couldn't help but say: "My dear, maybe we have a turnaround, it's really an endless road." ”

"I don't want to ask about business!" Mrs. Cen took the towel and gently wiped Cen Yinquan's face, and then cleaned up the suit on his whole body, and then said softly, "Pay attention to safety, I'll wait for you to come back." ”

"Don't wait, maybe I won't be back tonight!" Cen Yinquan said with a smile, "You know what? We really have rich people in Hong Kong, and they are unbelievably rich. If possible, I think Hong Kong has really survived this difficulty. Thank you, God, for sending me the Gospel at such a critical time. ”

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly drew a cross on his chest, and Cen Yinquan hurried out of the house in the confusion on his wife's face. (To be continued......)
