577 Economic recovery (3/4)
8:30 a.m.
TVB, Morning News.
"The latest news, Standard Chartered Bank paid $20 billion in bonds this morning."
"Yesterday evening, the HKMA returned to Hong Kong Island from Bali after his annual leave."
"The Director of the HKMA has stated in public that Hong Kong Island's financial stability is like Mount Tai and it has sufficient foreign exchange reserves to support the economic development of Hong Kong Island!"
After the end of a war without gunpowder, the citizens had just gotten up and left home to go to work in the company according to their daily habits.
As a vibrant city, office workers live at a fast pace. They are accustomed to saving time by leaving breakfast on the way to work.
But today, when office workers are walking on the road, they invariably stop and look at the TV in the store.
This is a slightly short-lived news, but it is extremely important in the eyes of office workers.
Because in the early days, through a lot of negative publicity on Wall Street, everyone knew that the economies of South Korea and Thailand had been hit hard and their currencies had collapsed.
Hong Kong stocks have also been in a state of "steady decline" recently......
The broader market has fallen by 30 percent since before the war.
Moreover, in the recent past, many international economic magazines have been promoting the lack of foreign exchange reserves on Hong Kong Island. It is likely that there will be an economic crisis due to the fact that there are too many bonds due to maturity and cannot be paid.
In particular, those working in the trading industry can clearly feel that the economy of Hong Kong Island is in the midst of severe fluctuations. The heat of the stock market is also continuing to decrease, but because shareholders are reluctant to sell, they are barely hanging.
If the market falls below 30 percent, I am afraid that even if the shareholders are distressed, they will inevitably sell at that time. This led to a stock market crash, a massive stock market crash that was even more violent than in '71.
Citizens' unoptimism about the economy has directly led to a sharp rise in the concept of savings among Hong Kong Island residents and a sharp decline in housing transactions. Many citizens began to pick and tremble, and they were reluctant to spend.
Once reluctant to spend, the economy will fall into the abyss of a vicious circle......
This is an invisible economic war, in addition to the dealer's hand, the off-board moves, but also imperceptibly affect the lives of all citizens, affecting the development of a region!
This is also the reason why the landlord is desperate to win!
After the short news was broadcast, the citizens breathed a long sigh of relief as if a big stone had fallen in their hearts.
"Two tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange can be paid, will there be any difference?"
At the same time, they received a signal - the Hong Kong Island government has money, and the Hong Kong people still have money!
What's more, even the maturing treasury bonds have been paid, and there is no other place to spend money?
If the government wants to go bankrupt, I'm afraid it won't have a chance to go bankrupt.
As a result, office workers who know a little bit about the economy immediately began to consume boldly and confidently.
For example, a female front desk employee who works at Tianze Securities was worried a few days ago that she would be fired because of the company's collapse and whether she would not be able to pay the next month's rent.
But at this time, the worry was swept away, and he took out ten yuan at the door of the breakfast shop very arrogantly: "Boss, pack two shrimp dumplings!" ”
"OK, no problem!" The boss happily took the banknote with a long-lost smile on his face.
God knows what it feels like to put the shrimp dumplings he prepared a few days ago that no one buys them, and they stink in the refrigerator.
Hong Kong people don't even eat shrimp dumplings, so what do they eat? Eat the soil!
It is in this daily life that the economy is rejuvenated.
After the shrimp dumplings were packed, the female staff at the front desk walked on the streets of Central with the milk tea in their hands, just like everyone else: eat and eat.
It wasn't until she wiped her mouth clean after eating that she clapped her palms and walked into the company with a smile to sign in to work. Not long after she went to work, Li Shaoze walked into Tianze Securities with Huang Shitong and others.
The female clerk hurriedly nodded and greeted: "Big boss, Mr. Huang, Miss Huang ......"
"Good morning."
Li Shaoze nodded casually and said, "Good morning!" ”
When they came to Tianze Securities, they just wanted to see with their own eyes the take-off line where the market soared after the market opened!
But there's more to it than that.
For example, arrange a celebration dinner at the Peninsula Hotel, for Yang Jianhua, Mr. He, and Li Chaoren...... There are also those bosses who took out the company's equity to save the market to express their gratitude.
Soon, everyone gathered around the long table in the office, drinking coffee or holding a teacup, and their faces looked very relaxed.
At nine o'clock in the morning, everyone raised their heads and turned to the projection screen in front of them.
As soon as the Hong Kong stock market opened, the trading index began to beat continuously, and various companies showed a substantial upward trend. With the exception of a few slumped foreign companies, local companies are almost all green.
"Hey, hey."
Seeing this, Sir Li had already guessed whether Soloth would be able to sleep tonight. But after thinking about it a little, he didn't bother to guess, because what was going on on Wall Street would be known tomorrow morning when he watched the news.
Alas, once a person goes to a high place, his opponent will appear in the newspapers...... It's so convenient!
Huang Shitong felt unsatisfied at this time, and opened his mouth to Luo Minsheng and instructed: "Ah Sheng, in half an hour, there will be an interview with the economic column, you can record it." ”
"Let's take a good look at the economic situation during this period of time and show it to the shareholder bosses, so that they can know how we won this financial war."
As the victors of the war, they will never mind recording history.
Luo Minsheng immediately nodded and said, "No problem." ”
"Well, remember to dress handsome, the show will be broadcast at noon." Huang Shitong patted him on the shoulder, looking very attached to this junior.
Luo Minsheng knew that this show was a beautiful deal, even if it was just used as a microphone for the landlord's association to the citizens of Hong Kong Island, it could make a lot of prestige.
So he said with excitement: "Thank you Uncle Tong, I will pay attention to the image." ”
"Okay, then let's go back and rest first, and we'll go to see the director of the commercial department in the afternoon."
"Hmph, those ghosts violated trade contracts before and did a lot of breaches of contract in the import and export business of Hong Kong Island."
"They still thought that the Hong Kong dollar would fall sharply, hahaha, and now the Hong Kong dollar will rise in the international market."
"See if we don't counter them and let them lose their crotch!" Huang Shitong snorted twice, feeling that his eyes were tired after seeing too much of the green line, so he left the conference room with Sima Xiang and others.
As for ordering a banquet in the evening and sending invitations, you can handle it by handing over to Uncle Tong's head horse "Ah Jin", so do you use any big guys?
……
Wall Street.
With dark circles under his eyes, Soloth lay in front of the computer and watched the Hong Kong stock market soar, and his heart gradually sank.
How fast Hong Kong stocks are rising now, how fast U.S. stocks will fall after the market opens tomorrow morning.
Although it will not lead to the collapse of the US stock market, at least the stocks that are related to the oligarchy and Wall Street will decline rapidly.
These stocks account for almost half of today's U.S. listed companies!
Once it falls, it will take at least a few years for the US financial community to catch its breath.
It is not known how many securities banks will go bankrupt, several exchanges will close, and thousands of stocks will be delisted......
Soloth grabbed his head with both hands and looked back at Wall Street at night, only to see that the night scene was still prosperous, but there was no arrogance in his eyes.
"I used to think it was the peak overlooking the world, but now I know it's a shattered cliff."
"The higher you stand, the more you can't afford to fail!"
Soros felt in his heart, and after sorting out his emotions, he waved his hand to disband the team of lawyers and public relations on standby.
Then he began to organize the documents himself, intending to use these materials to save his life at the meeting at 8 o'clock tomorrow morning.
However, the theme of the conference has been changed from "Aggression to Asian Finance" to "Saving Wall Street".
This old bone looks at the situation very accurately, saying that it is to save Wall Street, not to say that it is to save himself.
Because of the hundreds of billions of dollars he mobilized, less than 10 billion belonged to the quantum fund. Of the remaining more than 90 billion, one-third of which are interest-free loans provided by the government, and two-thirds are the collective funds of the oligarchy.
Now not only is there no money from Hong Kong Island, but the profits of Thailand and South Korea are also lost in South Korea......
The Quantum Fund has long gone bankrupt! Where is he still qualified to make trouble again? The only way out is to make the predators of the oligarchy feel that he is still a little useful.
As the hours ticked into the morning, Wall Street came to life again.
It's just that the financial elites who come and go, the moment they open the newspaper, their faces change in unison.
"Bang bang."
The coffee they were holding in their other hand fell to the ground, and in the middle of this morning, Wall Street was about to knock over thousands of times the instant coffee.
A boss of an oligarchy personally stepped into the conference room of the Quantum Fund today, sat on a chair, blew his beard and stared at Soloth to speak.
They had already learned about the news.
The reason why I was there was to see what else Solose had to say.
Unexpectedly, after the eight o'clock meeting began, the theme on the projection screen was actually "Saving Wall Street".
Seeing the theme of this meeting, the faces of the twenty oligarchic bosses became more and more gloomy, and they exchanged expressions with each other......
Sollus's all-night-working plan is, to be honest, feasible, and in his words, it is to be able to maintain Wall Street's losses at the bottom line of the 100 billion mark.
There will never be more than 320 securities houses shut down, and there will never be more than 1,000 stocks delisted, so as to ensure that Wall Street's prosperity will be restored within three years.
But before Soloth could finish speaking, an oligarchic boss had lost his patience completely, got up from his chair, and loudly interrupted his speech.
"Soloth, the priest doesn't like such long last words."
"Have you finished your last words?
