Chapter 0236 The foreign exchange market is newly opened, and the demons gather in the market!
On the evening of May 24, 1978, I received a phone call from Director Ma Fengfeng at my home at the Magic Star Villa, who asked me to attend a financial coordination meeting between China and Hong Kong at a hotel in Hong Kong City at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
After answering the phone, I discussed the matter with Yanfang.
"Ah Cai! This Financial Coordination Council must be between the Hong Kong side and the Chinese side to discuss how to exchange currencies between the two places! We ordinary people can't control this matter! When you go there, just prick up your ears and they brag and fire their guns! Ten thousand such meetings will not come to fruition! ”
Yanfang fiddled with and admired with her hands, the small parted hairstyle I had just grown after I got married, before, I had always had a very short little flat hair!
"Yanfang! You're right! However, I feel that this time is not the same as before! Because the mainland did not have the need to use foreign exchange in the past, the mainland side has coped with this kind of meeting! However, now it is different, the mainland is in a hurry to do business with the developed countries in the world! As a result, they are using forex more and more! I have a feeling that they are going to do something unusual this time! ”
I told Yanfang not to touch my hair and listen to me carefully.
Yanfang smiled and said, "Alas! They should also take care of the foreign exchange problem! Now, no one uses the RMB overseas, and even if you use it, you can't buy anything! Now, ten yuan is not as valuable as one Hong Kong dollar! But who can control this kind of thing? Ahh I warn you, don't just promise anyone to get involved in their affairs! When encountering a fight with immortals, we mortals had better stay away! ”
I said, "Okay! Alas, I'm just a little CIA! They are financiers! Can I still be part of their business?! Tomorrow morning, you and Kexin and Xiaoda go to work in Haolong Building! You help me review the project property marketing plan of Li Xiaohu of Jinpan Company! Xinghailong, New Century and other projects of property investment and sales, we seize the time! Otherwise, the big real estate developers in Port City will rob all our customers! ”
......
At 8 o'clock in the morning on May 25, Xiaoda, Yanfang and Kexin drove to Haolong Building to prepare and discuss the opening marketing plan and cost budget of Xinghailong, New Century and other projects.
After they left, I took my belongings and drove to a hotel in Hong Kong City to attend the financial coordination meeting between China and Hong Kong.
When I arrived at the venue at 9 a.m., it was already full.
China's economic officials include Mr. Ma Fengfeng, Mr. Gu Yunong, the secretary general of the Chinese Commercial Bank Association in Hong Kong, and Mr. Zhang Huimin, president of the Bank of China.
The Hong Kong side is headed by Mr. Sima Siu-lun, the Financial Secretary Adviser and Secretary-General of the City Bank Association of Hong Kong, Mr. Tsang Chun-ching, Superintendent of Police Anhua Luk, Major General Dickens of the Hong Kong Coastal Defence Force (David Tsang's cousin) and other law enforcement officers.
As a registered member of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association, I was invited to this conference by both the Chinese and Hong Kong sides.
In addition to being invited, they also invited the chairmen of more than a dozen well-known international banks and financial companies in Hong Kong to attend, most of whom were strangers to me, and most of them were foreigners, and these chairmen of foreigners believed that I was just the secretary or son of the chairman of a certain Chinese commercial bank.
Of course, I still know Dr. Jackson (General Jefferson's son) at the US Consulate, Dr. George, director of the Port City office of the American Economic and Business Exchange Association, and Dr. Sorosky, director of the Port City office of the American Monetary and Financial Exchange Association.
Once everyone is seated, the meeting begins.
The moderator of the Chinese meeting was Ma Toyota, and the moderator of the Hong Kong-British meeting was Ma Zhaolin.
At the beginning of the meeting, Director Ma spoke first, and he spoke in Chinese, with simultaneous English translation by a Chinese interpreter, as was the case with some Chinese personnel.
The representatives of the British side of Hong Kong and the representatives of the United States all spoke in English, and the interpreters of the British authorities in Hong Kong provided simultaneous interpretation in Chinese.
The main content of Director Ma's speech is: In order to promote business and trade exchanges between China and Hong Kong, through full communication and exchanges with various departments of the Hong Kong government, China and Hong Kong are ready to carry out a pilot project of free convertibility between RMB and US dollar and other major foreign currencies, and gradually establish a market pricing mechanism for RMB to ensure the interests of industrial and commercial people in the two places.
The content of Chief Ma Zhaolin's speech was: The free convertibility of foreign exchange and the renminbi and the establishment of a market-oriented trading platform are conducive to the establishment of a pricing mechanism in the renminbi market; therefore, the Hong Kong government will open electronic trading orders for foreign exchange such as the renminbi and the US dollar on the financial trading platform that has just been launched by the Hong Kong City Interbank Association, and they hope that the registered members of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association and friends from the international banking and financial circles will actively participate in the trading of the renminbi and foreign exchange on the Hong Kong City financial trading platform.
Mr. Gu Yunong, Mr. Zeng Chunzheng, President Zhang Huimin, Mr. Sorosky and the chairman of the American Business Consortium also spoke at the meeting, and they supported the open trading of the renminbi on behalf of all parties.
After they finished speaking, Chief Ma Zhaolin smiled and said, "Okay! I'm going to announce! The Hong Kong City RMB Trading and Clearing Center will be established on May 27, 1978, and will be launched on the Hong Kong City financial trading platform to accept transactions and settlements from all parties! ”
The venue burst into applause!
Chief Ma Zhaolin said: "Starting tomorrow! More than 100 members of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association, as well as internationally renowned banks and financial institutions, have begun to install trading equipment and network with the computer financial trading platform of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association! The counter of the Savings Bank in Hong Kong City began to accept RMB deposits, transactions and settlements! The Chinese side is responsible for the recovery and release of RMB in the market at the head office of the RMB Settlement Bank in Hong Kong City, and controls the normal flow of RMB! For the convenience and accuracy of transactions, the foreign currency for trading and settlement is always in US dollars! ”
Secretary-General Zeng Chunzheng said: "At 1 o'clock this afternoon, the registered members of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association and non-member units will be held here to review the qualifications for online transactions and issue the qualifications for networking. ”
After the meeting, Dr. Soroski invited me to speak with him in a small living room.
Soroski smiled and said, "Dr. Jack! You're here to spy on intelligence, right?! Jefferson, that old thing, didn't you get ready for this deal?! ”
I said, "Dr. Sorosky! General Jefferson never let me do such a thing! This is your financier's business, we in the CIA have never been involved! I'm here just to hear what you guys have to say?! Of course, I also want to see how you financiers are fighting financial wars?! I hope you will open your eyes and gain insight! ”
Soroski smiled and said, "Jack! Then you can enjoy it! An unprecedented financial tsunami is about to occur in the port city! Those little fish and shrimp who are against us will be swept into a dark hell by this tsunami! ”
I said, "Mr. Doctor! Is it? This kind of thing is terrible! ”
Sorosky smiled and said, "Of course! We can mobilize trillions of dollars for this transaction! Through this transaction, we want to make the renminbi a puppet of the dollar, and at the same time, we want to completely exterminate the Chinese bankers and financiers in Hong Kong City, let them go bankrupt and in debt, and let them go to hell in despair! ”
I smiled and said, "Dr. Sorosky! You are so great, I am sure you will be able to do it! ”
Soroski smiled and said, "Jack! You are a lovely child! You're so lucky to have met me, take care of your money, I've heard you're about to spend a lot of dollars on milk powder for your soon-to-be-born child! Oh! Oh, my God! Why are we talking about these annoying things?! ”
Everyone laughed!
After the conversation, I said, "Dr. Sorosky! I don't talk to small talk anymore! I'm going back to the CIA service station to report to my leaders! Maybe they're looking for a safe haven to escape the limelight too! ”
Sorosky shook my hand and said, "Okay! Dear CIA handsome guy! You bosses, you will definitely be rewarded for obtaining your information! Because, too, they were saved."
I said, "Thank you, Mr. Doctor!" Bye! ”
It was already noon at the end of my secret conversation with Sorosky, and after I had lunch with the participants in the hotel cafeteria, Secretary-General Zeng Chunzheng convened a meeting of the members of the Hong Kong City Interbank Association, at the meeting, Secretary General Zeng read out the list of units and personnel who have obtained the qualifications for online trading, Walder Financial Investment Management Company has obtained the qualification for online trading, and I received the Hong Kong City Interbank Association to give me free personal computer hosts, monitors, network connectors and other hardware equipment, as well as the "Electronic Trader Qualification Certificate", " Code of Practice for Electronic Traders" and other certificates of use and manuals, etc.
Teacher Zeng Chunzheng said to me, "Ah Cai! It's terrible to trade like this! You just have to turn on your computer and monitor and look at it! You must not get involved in their trading! ”
I said, "Understood! Thank you Mr. Zeng for the reminder! ”
Teacher Zeng smiled and said, "Alas! Ahh You're a good student of mine! In the next few days, you will have time to go to HKU to get your university diploma and doctoral diploma! ”
I said, "Okay! Thank you for your attention! ”
After saying goodbye to a few acquaintances, I used the hotel cart to remove the things I had received, and after loading the car in the hotel parking lot, I drove back to the Magic Star Villa.
When I arrived at home, I moved the hardware equipment such as computer hosts, monitors, and network connectors, as well as the certificates and manuals such as the "Electronic Trader Qualification Certificate" and the "Electronic Trader Code of Practice", to my home office for storage.
After moving things, I called Brother Long, and then, I drove to Brother Long's office.
At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I arrived at Brother Long's office, Brother Long was waiting for me, and I sat on the sofa with him drinking tea and talking.
Brother Long smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You came to me in a hurry, what is the matter with you? ”
I said, "Brother Long, recently, have any foreigners asked you to buy RMB?" ”
Brother Long said, "How do you know about this? A few days ago, a few foreigners did come to me to buy RMB, but their offer was too low, so I didn't sell it to them! Did you CIA get something, what's going on? ”
I said, "Alas! The banking and financial system of Hong Kong City will soon be open to the listing and trading of RMB! Foreigners want to speculate on the RMB! What price do they offer? ”
Brother Long said: "No wonder! They opened the exchange of dollars for yuan, from 1:120 to 1:200! And, they say, as much as you want! Are these people crazy?! ”
I said, "They're not crazy!" They are going to fight a financial war with the mainland! Brother Long! Do you remember the names of these foreigners? ”
"There was a white man named Sorosky, I remember, he was the chairman of the American Business Consortium! ”
I said, "Brother Long! Can you help me estimate how many RMB there are in the local market in Hong Kong City right now?! ”
Brother Long said: "Now, I have more than 50 billion in my hands, and the local market should be about 100 billion!" The RMB that can enter the port city in time from the outside market should not be less than 500 billion yuan! ”
I said, "Brother Long! What is your purchase price in the market? ”
Brother Long said: "Alas, this is a trade secret! But let me tell you! We generally trade smoothly between 1:60~1:80! However, the transaction price in a remote area like northern Myanmar is not easy to say! You say, what should I do? ”
I said, "Alas! Financial warfare is the same as doing stocks, sell high and buy low! However, you need to deposit your RMB in a reliable bank that is qualified to trade! Find a few reliable traders to help you do the work! ”
Brother Long smiled and said, "Ah Cai! You're so smart! I'm going to have someone do it right away! ”
I said, "Brother Long! Start trading at 8 a.m. on May 27th! Hurry up and get things done! I wish you all great fortune! However, don't tell anyone about this matter, otherwise, the foreign financiers will hack us to death! ”
Brother Long smiled and said, "You are the CIA!" We won't be afraid of foreigners! Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut! ”
Everyone laughed!
After leaving Brother Long's place, I drove to Superintendent Luk's office.
At 3 p.m., I arrived at Superintendent Lu's office, and Superintendent Lu and I sat on the sofa and talked.
I told Superintendent Lu that I needed to apply for four new sets of identity cards and passports.
Superintendent Lu smiled and said, "Understood! You're going to get four new money bags! Tell me your four new names! Let them use your photo and fingerprint and other characteristic information! ”
I wrote my four new names to Superintendent Lu, Sze Kin Wing, Kwok Tsz Wah, Leung Sau Man, and An Ka Fai.
Superintendent Lu called his subordinates and explained the matter to them, and they went to do business.
Soon, I got four sets of ID cards and passports with my photo, height, weight, fingerprints and other characteristic information, such as Shi Jianrong, Guo Zihua, Liang Xiuwen, An Jiahui, etc.
Superintendent Lu said with a smile: "The household registration file has been built!" These documents are ready to use! ”
After I handed over $40,000 to Superintendent Lu, I went to four different UBS business halls and opened bank accounts of Shi Jianrong, Guo Zihua, Liang Xiuwen, and An Jiahui, which I was going to use to hide money!
After taking care of things, we returned to the Magic Star Villa.
At around 5 p.m., when I returned home, I installed and debugged the Walder computer trading system in my home office.
After installing the computer system, I make a statistics on the available and trading cash.
Zhou Zilong's UBS account cash: $130,9935.65 million.
The bank assets that can be traded and cashed out are:
The assets in Qin's UBS account are:
(1) 120,000,000 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit, at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum, with a maturity from August 15, 1977 to August 15, 1979.
(2) 120,000,000 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum with a maturity from July 3, 1977 to July 3, 1979.
(3) 100,000,000 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum from January 1, 1978 to January 1, 1980.
The assets in Zhou's UBS account are:
(1) 325,000,000 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit, at an interest rate of 11.5% per annum, with a maturity from June 23, 1976 to June 23, 1979.
(2) 105,263,200 ounces of gold spot certificates of deposit, with an interest rate of 11.5% per annum, with a maturity from March 20, 1977 to March 20, 1979.
A total of 770,263,200 ounces of gold spot, according to the current calculation of 180 US dollars per ounce, the value of this batch of gold is 138.7 billion US dollars, but I really don't want to use these assets, this capital is impossible to fight with Sorosky and their trillions of dollars!
......
At 8 p.m., I contacted General Jefferson at my home office on my laptop and satellite communication system.
I reported to Jefferson about the imminent listing of the renminbi in Hong Kong City, and sent him the recording of the meeting and the recording of my conversation with Sorosky.
Soon after, Jefferson's reply to me was: Leave these idiots alone, let them mess around!
