1998.

The last day of August.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

Before the decisive battle began, news came from the Huaxia Continent.

The senior management spoke openly at the press conference:

"If, under certain circumstances, the SAR needs the help of the central government, as long as the Hong Kong government makes a request to the central government, the central government will do whatever it takes to maintain the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong and protect its linked exchange rate system!"

At present, the Chinese authorities can only encourage and support the Chinese government and become the most solid backing of the Hong Kong government.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The two deputy governors of the central bank of Huaxia have been seated in the HKMA and are ready to respond at any time, and have called on Chinese-funded institutions throughout Xiangjiang to fully support the disk protection action.

Looking at the world, the financial atmosphere has been extremely bad, with the Dow Jones stock index in the United States falling by more than 300 points, and the stock markets in Europe and Latin America falling by 3 to 8 percentage points.

The Hong Kong stock market is about to face the most severe test under the watchful eye!

In the Financial Authority, everyone has long discussed, and their countermeasure is: We will buy as much as Soros sells!

Buy one and sell one, and the volatility of the Hang Seng Index cancels out.

If the Hang Seng Index does not fall, Soros will not want to make a profit.

It mainly adopts the strategy of big advance and small retreat, steady and steady and step by step.

Stabilizing the Hang Seng Index has become their only goal.

The reason for adopting this seemingly untechnical scheme is also a helpless move.

Because this is not only a battle of the century, but also a "gamble of the century".

The then Financial Secretary, Tsang Kam Kuen, knew very well that they were holding the hard-earned money of the people of Hong Kong.

It's fine if Bo wins.

In case you lose.

Not to mention the resignation, a few of them are light to apologize for their crimes with death.

Since the financial turmoil, the currencies of all countries in Southeast Asia have been crushed by Soros, and if the linked exchange rate is not maintained at this time, it will only cause Hong Kong people to lose confidence in the Hong Kong dollar overnight.

Under the chain reaction, it will inevitably lead to another sharp decline in the stock market and property market, soaring interest rates, and further deterioration of the economic environment.

Therefore, after communicating with the Hong Kong government, Zeng Jinquan made a difficult decision:

Rather than letting the wealth of the people of Xiangjiang fall into the hands of international speculators, it is better for the Hong Kong government to enter the market, use foreign exchange reserves, and let it go!

The Huaxia authorities are also supportive!

There was no turning back from the bow.

At this moment, they have no choice but to fight!

It is worth noting that the settlement price of HSI futures is calculated based on the average of the Hang Seng Index quotes for every five minutes of the day.

Therefore, if you want to raise the settlement price, you must at least ensure that the Hang Seng Index is stable.

To achieve this, the Hong Kong government must do everything in its power to defend itself.

After several previous encounters, the final showdown between the two sides also came as scheduled.

At the entrance of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, there was a surge of people.

Journalists and media from all over the world gathered here to broadcast the battle of the century live online.

The nearby restaurant and teahouse have long been full, and there are people standing and squatting.

In this case, who is still in the mood to go to work?

The company is on a collective holiday.

After all, if this battle is lost, the boss's wealth will also shrink significantly, and no one can escape.

Around nine o'clock.

Millions of people in Hong Kong locked the channel and waited for the bell to come when the market opened.

That's when it happened.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Brother Jie?!"

A shout instantly attracted the attention of everyone at the scene, even the reporters who were broadcasting live to the camera.

turned out to be a financial tycoon, speculative genius, and philanthropist who disappeared for a long time - Chen Jie!

He wore a "red vest" and appeared at the door of the Stock Exchange!

They were joined by 20 traders who were also wearing red vests.

Countless media reporters pounced in an instant, and the order of the scene collapsed.

The cameraman with good physical strength rushed directly with a long gun and a short cannon, and the local Xiangjiang reporter was very experienced and quickly followed.

There is almost no need to pause the live broadcast, and you can synchronize the pace of the photographer and narrate while not afraid of breaking the signal cable, which can be said to be very professional.

Only some foreign media, who have never seen such crazy scenes, are still stunned.

By the time they reacted, the entrance of the Stock Exchange had already been surrounded by water, and they couldn't squeeze in at all.

At that time, I am afraid that I will only be able to spend a few "Franklins" and let my peers "help".

Faced with the menacing arrival of a group of reporters, more than a dozen security personnel immediately rushed out, formed a human wall, and struggled to separate the crowd from a certain distance.

Chen Jie was also frightened by this crazy scene, he didn't expect so many reporters to come, several times more than he did last time.

Because there were so many people in the vicinity, the car couldn't drive at all, so they also stopped at a distance and walked over.

Unexpectedly, he was wearing sunglasses, and as soon as he appeared, he was still discovered.

These reporters are too powerful.

If those reporters could hear what he was saying, they would definitely smile and say, "Brother, how many people in Hong Kong can't recognize your hairstyle, face shape, and walking pace?" ”

There are many young people in Xiangjiang, because they worship him, they are imitating his style of speaking, especially when he shrugs his shoulders, he has a faint elite style.

Many people believe that this is the temperament of a real "business elite".

It's not like you, who is a street boy who wears a suit and is regarded as selling insurance at a glance.

Although he is wearing a red vest today, he is still very handsome, and the code 099 on his clothes represents his status as a trader.

A reporter asked, "Mr. Chen, what do you want to do when you appear on the Stock Exchange this time?" ”

Chen Jie: "Looking at my clothes, it's obvious that I'm here to buy stocks. ”

He faced countless cameras, flashing lights, and answered very calmly and naturally.

Another reporter asked: "Who do you think Soros or the Hong Kong government will win the final victory?" ”

Chen Jie: "That must be the Hong Kong government, even if it is an enemy of financial institutions all over the world, we will spare no effort to support it!" ”

His sonorous and powerful answer made those shareholders who watched the live broadcast on TV feel particularly uplifted!

The reporter asked excitedly: "Mr. Chen, how much money did you bring to save the market this time?" ”

Chen Jie: "This is kept secret for the time being, so let's just wait and see." ”

"Mr. Chen, someone photographed you with ....."

"Okay, okay, time is running out, I'm going to enter..... I'll answer next time...."

Chen Jie hurriedly waved his hand, interrupted the reporter's questioning, passed the verification of the security personnel, and entered the trading floor of the Stock Exchange.

They had already secured their seats in the front row of the trading floor display, which was specially arranged for them by the Stock Exchange.

They sit on the right.

Later, it was also known as the "multi-seat".

Because almost all the traders on the left are "short selling", there are many financial institutions in the middle of the ring, all involved.

"Lao Feng, why is there no one on our side?"

Chen Jiedong looked around and saw that the seats on their side were all empty seats, and they were the only institutions.

"Probably... We're the only ones who are long. ”

Feng Yiwen was also taken aback, but he didn't expect that except for the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, there would be no institution in the entire Xiangjiang to do more.

The direction of the market is completely one-sided.

"Hehe, Brother Chen, are you here too?"
