"It seems that Bill Winter's words have worked, and Youde can only find me now." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, everything is also in his expectation, the current situation of the Hong Kong government is very dangerous, that is, there is the British government behind it, when Hong Kong and Britain can't bear it, a large amount of foreign exchange and promises and guarantees, plus some agreements with the mainland quickly, can be regarded as stabilizing the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, otherwise it will definitely be a leak, and once it falls, it is very difficult to rise again in the future.

The sharp fluctuation of the exchange rate itself, whether it rises or falls, is a great blow to the external demand region, once the exchange rate falls, Hong Kong's prices can immediately rise to the sky, and all kinds of economies will collapse even more.

The current Hong Kong government does not know what the future holds, that is, the British government, which was originally ready to help in history, does not know how much it will pay to keep the Hong Kong dollar, in this case, Youde can only look for him, after all, on the bright side, his own industry is mainly exported, and it is a high-profit industry, and there must be a lot of dollar cash in his hands.

However, perhaps for some reason, Youde has not contacted him, so Bill Winter took advantage of the meeting of the Governor's Mansion to clarify the matter, so that the Governor of Hong Kong can have a good step, because this is mentioned by someone else.

"This group of British ghosts is still a little too face-saving, and the current Britain is not 80 years ago." Huo Jianning said.

"No matter how not, we also have to give face, mutual benefit, they want the Hong Kong dollar to stabilize the exchange rate, we just want to take this opportunity to get more Hong Kong dollars, and we also need the Hong Kong dollar to be stable." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

The collapse of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate is inevitable, because there are too many funds lost during this time, not falling, the Hong Kong government can not bear it at all, at the same time, after the exchange rate falls, it can also prevent many hesitant people from giving up immigration, although Chen Zhiwen does not care about this, but the Hong Kong government still cares, and again, the Hong Kong dollar falls, but also to save the manufacturing industry, the current Hong Kong, at least still value the manufacturing industry, in the original history, in 1985, Hong Kong Governor Youde also took a bunch of textile industry experts and entrepreneurs, to the United States, Australiaand Europe to seek new markets for textiles in Hong Kong.

The general trend cannot be changed, so we can only follow the trend and exchange foreign exchange when the Hong Kong government is not short of foreign exchange, and when it is lacking, we can appear as a savior, and we can also put forward some of our own requirements.

"It's noon tomorrow, and I'll arrange the car in advance." Huo Jianning said.

"Okay, let's get formal." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, Chen Zhiwen and Huo Jianning came to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion.

"Chen Sheng, Huo Sheng, please inside." Led by a Chinese-American official, Chen Huo and the others arrived at the office of the Hong Kong Governor's Office.

Before entering the door, I saw a tall figure walking out, it was the Governor of Youde, and I saw him smile and said, "Chen Sheng, welcome to the Governor's Mansion." ”

"Mr. Governor is gracious, it is my honor to be able to come to the Governor's Office." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"Please come in." Youde took the two into the office, and after a few people sat down, Youde said: "During this time, I still have to thank Chen Sheng's PARKnSHOP supermarket, Hong Kong is in this situation, only your supermarket has been cooperating with the Hong Kong government's monetary policy, and the materials have always been sufficient." ”

"This is what I should do, as the largest supermarket chain in Hong Kong, PARKnSHOP naturally needs to take responsibility in today's situation." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

In the case of the Hong Kong dollar crisis, many supermarkets are reluctant to accept Hong Kong dollars, and at the same time, a large number of people deliberately consume Hong Kong dollars when they can't exchange for dollars.

Only Chen Zhiwen's PARKnSHOP supermarket adheres to the price, at least in the price of necessities such as grain and vegetables, which is very strictly controlled to ensure the most basic living needs of residents, while other non-essential goods are also appropriately increased under the condition of control. This is naturally due to the strong procurement channel capabilities of Galaxy Trading behind PARKnSHOP, as well as sufficient US dollar foreign exchange.

However, in this case, there will also be scalpers to drill loopholes, but it is not impossible, such as increasing the shopping queue time, although it makes residents spend more time, but it can make scalpers pay more time costs, in general, it is still desirable.

Of course, it is not that capitalists do not make money, in this case, as long as they are ruthless, they can make money in the short term, but the time will not be very long, and the stability of prices is to cultivate everyone's shopping habits in the long term, once they get used to coming here, they will not change, although ParknSHOP has monopolized the medium-sized supermarket market in Hong Kong before, but there are many types of supermarkets, and there are always many competitors.

At the same time, it can also gain a good reputation, and whether it is Hong Kong, Britain, Britain or the mainland, at least they have a good impression of enterprises that stabilize prices.

"That's good, Hong Kong is really lucky to have a responsible entrepreneur like Chen Sheng." Youde said with a smile.

"Sir, here comes the coffee." A blonde secretary walked in with a few cups of coffee, and then placed them in front of several people one by one.

Youde continued: "Chen Sheng, Huo Sheng, a friend of mine, he is the British ambassador to Brazil, by chance, I got a kind of coffee that is not grown by hand in the Brazilian Amazon forest, and the taste is very good, which is completely different from ordinary industrial products. ”

"Oh, then I'll have to taste it." Chen Zhiwen smiled and said, in fact, he doesn't know much about coffee, after all, this thing is part of Western culture, and he also likes it because of business needs, so he still has to show his liking when appropriate.

Sure enough, as he expected, he didn't feel much different from other coffees, but he still said, "Good coffee." ”

Huo Jianning on the side also expressed his position, I don't know if he really likes it or is perfunctory.

"Haha, no one who has tasted my coffee has said anything bad." Yud laughed.

"It's very good, indeed." Chen Zhiwen said again, it's not a lie, the taste is not bad, it's okay to drink, but he can't taste that very good feeling.

"I'll arrange for someone to send some to Chen Sheng's mansion." Youde paused, returned to the topic, and said: "Chen Sheng, your side can stabilize the prices of basic daily necessities in Hong Kong, which is very good, but this method treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it will not work in the long run, if the current Hong Kong dollar crisis is not solved, the entire Hong Kong economy will have big problems, Chen Sheng's main business is also in Hong Kong, I don't want to see big problems in Hong Kong's economy, right?" ”.

"What do you mean, Mr. Governor?" Chen Zhiwen asked rhetorically. He is not in a hurry, this kind of thing has to be told by the other party.

"I hope that Chen Sheng can raise some dollars from overseas and lend them to the Hong Kong government to stabilize the current exchange rate, whether it is interest or borrowing cycle, we can negotiate," Youde said. ”

"Hong Kong's current exchange rate problem, the root cause is not solved, no matter how much money is invested, it is not enough, I mobilize the dollar back, first of all, I need to ensure that this money does not have problems, right?" Chen Zhiwen said: "If we do not stabilize the current confidence of Hong Kong people in the market, the exchange rate will only get lower and lower, and I will also suffer serious losses at that time." ”

"Actually, I understand that Chen Sheng is worried, Buckingham Palace has already sent people to the mainland, and I think the two sides will soon be able to make a guarantee on the current exchange rate issue in Hong Kong." Youde said.

"Well, if this thing is true, I can mobilize funds to come back, but my funds will not be borrowed, because of this interest, to be honest, I can't look at it, so I have two plans." Chen Zhiwen paused and said: "First, I will arrange for Hisense Bank to open the window for exchanging US dollars into Hong Kong dollars from tomorrow, but the transaction price cannot be according to the current exchange rate stipulated by the Hong Kong government, which belongs to solving the problem through market methods, what do you think of Mr. Governor?" ”

"Yes, free market, you are free to decide." Youde also understood Chen Zhiwen's thoughts, now the Hong Kong dollar on the black market is about to break through the transaction of 10 Hong Kong dollars a dollar, and now if Hisense Bank converts it on a large scale, it will be calculated in Hong Kong dollars, it will definitely be blood earnings.

Of course, this premise is that the Hong Kong dollar can stabilize in the future, which can be said to be a big gamble, if the bet is lost, it will also lose seriously, but it is obviously unlikely, even if the Hong Kong dollar will fall, it will not be cut in half, which is too damaging to Hong Kong's economy, and if the mainland and the United Kingdom come forward, the Hong Kong dollar crisis will naturally slowly stabilize.

There is not enough profit, these capitalists do not come forward with big money, but for Youde, this is also deserved, people have a strong principal, plus a strong vision, they should make this money, isn't the capital market like this? Although this time will fundamentally solve the problem of the Hong Kong dollar crisis, but still need a large amount of foreign exchange to ensure that there is no problem, this money, the Hong Kong government is also worried that its reserves will not be enough, because when the new foreign exchange rate is settled, it must be adhered to, and at the same time to continue to maintain free convertibility, and when the time comes, what the run will be like, no one knows, therefore, adequate preparation is a must, whether Chen Zhiwen now consumes some of the people who want to exchange dollars, or when the time comes, it is helpful to bear it with the Hong Kong government.

As for those ordinary people who don't know anything and follow the trend to exchange dollars, they can only deserve to lose money.

"On the second point, I don't think it's necessary to lend money to the Hong Kong government, after all, I'm not a World Bank and don't participate in government lending." Chen Zhiwen said: "It's better to be like this, in the hands of the Hong Kong government, there should be a lot of land that was auctioned off the previous year, how about I buy it all with US dollars?" ”
