In front of the Bank of China Building, Yao Yuanzheng talked to many reporters.

"I want to make one point here: the vast majority of Jiuye Investment Group's financial investment business for the international financial market will always be in Hong Kong Island, and the status of the Hong Kong Island headquarters will remain unchanged."

"The legendary fourth headquarters in New York is completely fictitious. Our group currently has no such plan. All investors should not believe those rumors."

"The third question is that our group welcomes the Housing and Economic Recovery Act signed by the President of the United States last night. This will help alleviate the increasingly serious subprime mortgage crisis."

"But it is not enough to just introduce this bill. We hope to see more practical measures to boost market confidence, not just empty words."

Everyone at the scene was stunned for a moment, and even felt a little ridiculous!

As we all know, Jiuye Investment is one of the biggest short sellers in the international financial market. It has been shorting the international financial market and making a fortune!

In this case, you would welcome this bill aimed at alleviating the subprime mortgage crisis? Why do I not believe it?

It’s a pity that the media reporters at the scene did not have the opportunity to ask questions.

Otherwise, there will definitely be a lot of counter-questions thrown out immediately!

Looking at Yao Yuan again, he was always smiling as he performed.

"The fourth question is whether the visit of the delegation led by Mr. Paulson to Hong Kong has anything to do with the two troubled housing agencies. I don't know about this either, after all, the talks haven't started yet!"

"What I can say here is that the problems of the two housing agencies must be properly resolved. Once the two housing agencies go bankrupt, it will inevitably trigger a huge financial crisis that will affect the whole world!"

"Let's talk about the rumors about us acquiring Lehman Brothers Bank. This is also groundless. At least for now, our group has no such plan!"

"Lehman Brothers is a well-established top financial institution on Wall Street with strong strength. Jiuye Investment is just a new force in the financial market. I'm afraid it doesn't have the ability to acquire Lehman Brothers..."

Next, he talked about some more things, all related to this negotiation.

Then he pushed Zhou Chaoyang to the front and asked Zhou Chaoyang to deal with these media reporters.

At the same time, in a lounge of the Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.

The fellow leader and Secretary Qiu were watching the morning news on ATV News Channel.

Looking at Yao Yuan speaking eloquently on TV, they were all full of admiration.

"I have to say that Xiao Yao has become more and more calm and outstanding when facing media interviews!"

"What is even more commendable is that he always keeps a clear mind and a consistent stance, and is not at all overwhelmed by the great achievements he has made!"

The fellow leader said with great admiration.

After the words fell, Secretary Qiu smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, this kid has always had a very clear understanding of himself and is neither arrogant nor impatient!"

"Compared to when he first came to Hong Kong Island last year, he has made great progress and is now more and more like an international financial tycoon."

"Did you notice that this guy said so much in one breath, but he didn't reveal even a single word about the key content of today's negotiation? This is really a skill!"

Following his words, laughter broke out in the lounge.

Not only Uncle Qiu and his group, but also Paulson and others who were staying at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel were watching the ATV morning news report!

Through the simultaneous interpretation of the translator, they all understood what Yao Yuan said on TV.

After watching for a while, all the foreigners frowned.

The next moment, New York Fed President Geithner said helplessly:

"I have to say, this little bastard is simply a monster. When he speaks, it's almost flawless and impeccable!"

"Faced with such an opponent, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to gain any advantage in today's negotiations!"

Hearing this, the CEO of Renault Brothers Bank nodded bitterly.

"That's true. This little bastard is a monster that appeared out of nowhere. He's so damn hard to deal with!"

"Ever since the subprime mortgage crisis broke out, this little bastard has been like a cheat, constantly making money from the international financial market. He has been successful in everything he does, and has turned the entire international financial market upside down!"

"I've never heard of anyone taking advantage of this little bastard, including the bankrupt Bear Stearns!"

"To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about today's negotiation. This little bastard probably knows our company very well and knows that we are on the verge of despair!"

"Under these circumstances, will he really acquire Lehman Brothers? I don't dare to expect it!"

Paulson turned around and looked at his old friend. He wanted to curse at him or even rush up and punch this idiot twice to vent his hatred!

If it weren't for you greedy fools and idiots who brought Lehman Brothers, a top investment bank, to the brink of bankruptcy, would I, as the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States, have to lower myself to come to Hong Kong Island to negotiate with this little bastard!

Although he was filled with hatred, Paulson could only suppress his anger!

Things have developed to this point. Even if all the executives of Lehman Brothers Bank were dragged out and shot, the problem cannot be solved!

What's more, the forces behind these idiots are complicated and cannot be underestimated. They can't be used as targets!

After taking two deep breaths and calming down, Paulson said in a cold voice:

"Gentlemen, please don't forget that we are the makers of the international financial order and the biggest dealers in the international financial market!"

"If this little bastard wants to play in the international financial market, he must abide by the rules we set. Otherwise, he will be punished!"

"Today we must find a way to make this little bastard surrender. He has made so much money, it's time for him to give some of it back. We can't let him take all the benefits!"

The other foreigners looked at each other quickly and nodded in unison.

However, several people, including Geithner, showed some disapproval in their eyes.

Obviously, they don't think Paulson has a sure win!

Ten minutes later, in the group's small conference room.

Many executives and economic and financial experts involved in today's negotiations have arrived at the conference room and are waiting for Yao Yuan to come to the meeting.

In addition to the people from Jiuye Investment Group, Director Li from the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and Chairman Dai from the Social Security Fund have also arrived here and sat in their respective seats.

As they were talking, the office door opened and Yao Yuan walked in with Li Shan.

Seeing him come in, everyone stood up.

Yao Yuan took a quick look at the situation at the scene, then stepped forward, shook hands with Director Li and the others, and said a few polite words.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting. There were quite a few media reporters gathered downstairs in the building. I dealt with them for a while and clarified some rumors, so I was delayed for a while."

"When we came here just now, we also saw those media reporters in front of the building. Now you are the focus of everyone's attention. Aren't those media reporters staring at you?"

Director Li said with a smile.

After greeting them, Yao Yuan walked to his seat and sat down.

After sitting down, he immediately got down to business.

"Time is limited, let's discuss the negotiation directly without beating around the bush!"

"First of all, let's talk about security. Mr. Peng, please coordinate with the senior management of the Monetary Authority of Singapore and the police to understand the security plan."

"Although we are at home today, we still need to be vigilant. These foreigners are not trustworthy and they may play some shady tricks!"

"Remind the heads of the HKMA and police security that after the US delegation enters the HKMA building, try not to let them come into contact with any unrelated personnel."

“Especially the MAS staff, even the cleaning staff in the building are not allowed to come in contact with them!”

After hearing what he said, almost everyone at the scene was confused.

This is Hong Kong Island. Is it necessary to guard against the US delegation like we would guard against thieves?

Only a few people, including Zhou Chaoyang and Director Li, quickly reacted and understood why Yao Yuan emphasized this point!

The reason lies in the 400 tons of gold stored in the underground vault of the Monetary Authority of Singapore!
