Chapter 1431: Whose Hand Is the Deer Dead?
This is a game of life and death, and Soros has said the true meaning of financial warfare in one sentence.
In this game, whether it is Li Siwen or Soros and Lin Bizhi, or those financial tycoons behind them, no matter who fails, they will encounter unbearable pain.
Therefore, that night, Lin Bizhi found his father-in-law to explain the situation, according to him, things have developed to this point, once Li Siwen succeeds, Xiangjiang will no longer have a place for the Chen family.
And as the deputy secretary of the financial secretary of Hong Kong, how could Chen Bohua not know this? At the beginning, he helped Lin Bizhi to sit in the position of director of the HKMA, but also to consolidate real power for himself.
"Dad, the mainland wants to use the news of the joint listing to pull the Hang Seng Index up. As long as we hold a press conference to explain the listing rules to the mainland and warn the other party that it is not easy to go public smoothly and let the market cool down quickly, the mainland's move will inevitably be self-defeating. ”
"That is to show that we are fighting against the mainland." Chen Bohua frowned: "Now that the British side is gone, this may not be a good choice." ”
"Our financial system is an independent system, which is a commitment of the Mainland and the capital of our development in Hong Kong. The fact that the mainland sent a Li Siwen over is enough to show that they dare not stretch their hands too long.
And taking the post of director of the bureau shows our attitude to the mainland? ”
Chen Bohua lit a cigarette and was silent for a while before saying: "There are many departments involved in this matter, and I am afraid that only I will not be able to come forward, I need to ask the director for instructions." ”
"Dad, we're running out of time......"
On Thursday, May 7, 1998, the weather was fine and there were still two days to go before the Century Gamble.
Because of the impact of the joint listing of mainland enterprises, the stock market just opened at 9:15 in the morning, and the Hang Seng Index rose all the way, from 15,000 to more than 15,700 in just half an hour, and this trend became more and more intense with the collective outbreak of the media.
But even in the face of this situation, Soros, who was sitting in front of the TV, still had the composure that Taishan collapsed in front of him, because according to his experience, even if Li Siwen won back a city in public opinion, it was impossible to save the Hang Seng Index, which was an iron law.
However, this composure was soon shattered by his personal secretary.
"Boss, look at the news channel." The secretary hurriedly took out the remote control and turned the station, and soon saw Li Siwen's shadow on the TV, and a middle-aged man with a white cloth on his head was standing next to him, and the two were being interviewed on the radio.
"What is this?" Soros stared suspiciously at the TV.
"According to reports, this is Prince Netani from the UAE royal family, and it is said that he is very optimistic about the future of the Hang Seng Index, and decided to spend a billion US dollars to buy eight blue chips such as Yangtze River, Telecom, and Futura."
Hearing the secretary's words, Soros's face changed significantly, and he suddenly remembered that when he and Li Siwen faced off in Thai baht before, the other party threatened that he had rich friends in the Middle East, and he just regarded it as the other party's smoke bomb, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"How many hole cards does this kid have?" Soros, who was talking to himself, was a little sweaty, looked at his assistant and asked, "Isn't there any news from Lin Bizhi yet?" ”
"Not yet." As soon as the assistant's voice fell, the mobile phone rang, and after connecting, he hurriedly handed it to Soros: "It's the phone from the headquarters." ”
Soros answered the phone for a full five minutes, and when he put down the phone, he was already standing in place, his expression extremely ugly.
"Boss, what's going on?"
Soros clenched the phone and said: "The US media reported that I was arrested in Xiangjiang, and now the people at the headquarters are panicking. ”
"It seems that Li Siwen did that drama last night just to earn enough eyeballs in the media."
"Looks like I'm underestimating him." Soros said, and immediately picked up the clothes on the sofa: "Clean up, let's go back to the headquarters." ”
Soros knows that under the siege of all kinds of good news from the Hang Seng Index, if he is still stranded in Xiangjiang, the headquarters will inevitably be in chaos, and the backyard will catch fire before he wins the gamble, so he must go back.
However, what he didn't expect was that as soon as he walked to the gate of the villa with the secretary and bodyguards, he was blocked by Li Siwen who was walking towards him.
"Meet so soon, Mr. Soros." Li Siwen held a cigarette in his mouth and continued with interest: "Where is this going?" ”
"Do I need to report back to you?" Soros said with a gloomy expression.
"Let me guess." Li Siwen pretended to think: "It must be those old guys on the cruise ship who can't hold on, right?" After all, the arrest of the chairman of the Quantum Fund is not small news. ”
Soros, who was poked in the arms, changed his eyes and scolded angrily: "Get out." ”
"I'm sorry, I'm not good at this move, but you can go back to the villa obediently, because you can't leave here until the victory is decided." After Li Siwen finished speaking, he spat out a puff of cigarette at Soros.
"What do you mean?" Soros asked rhetorically.
"Although Xiangjiang# Fang did not formally arrest you, you are suspected of conniving at other people's crimes, and you need to cooperate with the investigation of # Fang within the specified time." Li Siwen pointed to a few cars not far away: "Look at those cars, except for #Cha is a reporter, if you step out of the villa, they will rush up as soon as possible." ”
"Li Siwen, you are really despicable."
"I've never said I'm a decent man."
The two had a wonderful conversation, and the tension was tense, and at this time, Lin Bizhi walked into sight, Li Siwen saw this scene, and said with a smile: "It seems that Director Lin doesn't want you to leave here either." ”
When Lin Bizhi heard this, he could also guess a rough idea, and replied with a cold face: "Li Siwen, you don't have to be here in this yin and yang, you don't have much time left." ”
"That's exactly what I want to say to you, and before I'm still in the mood to talk to you, you'd better reassess the situation and stand on the same front with me.
Otherwise you won't even get a chance to speak. ”
Li Siwen spoke threateningly.
"Joke, do you really think you can win?" After Lin Bizhi finished speaking, he ignored Li Siwen, gave Soros a look, and the two returned to the villa together.
"Lin Bizhi's attitude shows that he has news that is not good for us." Xu Weiwei reminded in a low voice.
Li Siwen didn't speak, and walked towards his car, at the same time, the mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, Huo Lao's voice came.
"The senior management of the Financial Secretary has convened the heads of various departments in an attempt to cool down the joint listing of mainland enterprises through a press conference, and they have played the sign that the financial system of Hong Kong has been challenged, and the situation is more complicated, and it is estimated that the press conference will be held tomorrow morning at the latest."
"Got it."
"We must find a way as soon as possible, once the press conference is successfully held, the Hang Seng Index will be in vain if it wants to return to 20,000 points."
