The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 422 Self-recommendation

  "Yes, they use this method to attack Hong Kong, and then achieve the goal of destroying Hong Kong's economy."

Zhong Shi on the opposite side of the sofa picked up his coffee cup, took a sip under the unexpected gazes of Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao, and then laughed at himself, "I didn't expect that I could have a cup of coffee in the Hong Kong government. Fortunately, this is not a clean government. Office, otherwise I will be in big trouble."

"Mr. Zhong, are you sure that's how they operate?" After pondering for a moment, Shen Liantao touched his smooth chin and said to Zhong Shi earnestly, "To know that this matter is of great importance, we must first determine , and then be able to formulate relevant response policies. If what you say is not true, it is very likely to cause major losses to Hong Kong and even the country."

   Speaking of this, he already had a serious face and a serious tone, with an extremely serious posture. And the reason why he made this gesture was entirely because after listening to their narration, Zhong Shi affirmed it without thinking about it.

   "I'm pretty sure!"

Zhong Shi curled his lips, disapproving of Shen Liantao's actions, but in order to dispel the doubts in the hearts of the two senior officials opposite him, he explained one more sentence, "The main battlefield has always been Hong Kong stocks and the Hang Seng Futures Index. The performance of the Hong Kong dollar market It’s just a cover, or a catalyst. They just want to attract your attention to the Hong Kong dollar, raise the lending rate by short selling the Hong Kong dollar, and then short the stock market. From the beginning to the end, they have no intention of completely destroying the Hong Kong dollar. In fact, In fact, it is impossible for them to short the Hong Kong dollar, after all, we have the world's second largest foreign exchange reserves."

  After Zhong Shi finished speaking, Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao fell silent again. After a while, Ren Yigang asked himself: "Since this is the case, what I would like to ask Mr. Zhong is, what do you think they will do in the future? Do they repeat the old trick or change another strategy? If possible, How do we need to respond?"

   “How do we need to respond?”

Zhong Shi chuckled, touched the tip of his nose subconsciously, and said: "If my guess is correct, they have already gathered a considerable amount of Hong Kong stocks in their hands. If they sell the Hong Kong stock futures index again, then no matter what we No matter how they do it, they will all be able to achieve the purpose of hedging in the end.”

   "So before that, we must first understand their position allocation, and choose the side that invests more money to attack. Otherwise, it will not be a blow to them, but a lot of Hong Kong dollar cash will be given to them in vain."

"what do you mean…"

  Hearing this, Ren Yigang hesitated, stared at Zhong Shi for a long time, and finally said to himself, "This seems a bit inconsistent with the policy..."

  Obviously, he understood Zhong Shi's words, but just because he understood, he immediately thought of certain policy aspects, so he became hesitant.

"If the Hong Kong stock market is really destroyed by them," Zhong Shi didn't care so much. He was originally an outsider and said what he thought, so he wouldn't have so many worries. "At that time, Hong Kong will become like Thailand, Indonesia, etc. Like the country, the wealth accumulated by several generations may disappear overnight. At that time, the Hong Kong government will not be able to account to the citizens of Hong Kong, nor to the country. The prosperity of the Pearl of the Orient may be overnight. Turned into ashes, no matter what policy concerns are at that time, it will be impossible to recover such a heavy loss."

"And announce the details of the positions on the seats of each exchange. As long as the number of hands reaches a certain upper limit, it must be reported to the exchange and made public. This can not only remind investors of risk trends, but also let the citizens of Hong Kong know who it is. They are shorting Hong Kong. In addition, when necessary, they can also increase the amount of margin to force the short side to liquidate their positions.”

   "So it's these..."

  Ren Yi let out a long sigh of relief after listening to it, patted his chest in a rare way, and sighed in a low voice with lingering fear: "I thought you were going to say something else!"

"Other things?" Zhong Shi glanced sideways at the "financial emperor", and a half-smile suddenly appeared on his face, "If I say that Hong Kong stocks also need the Hong Kong government's hand, I don't know if it's just in your mind." Thinking of 'something else'?"

   "What? Government intervention?"

   Shen Liantao, who was listening in a daze, finally understood, and exclaimed repeatedly: "What are you thinking about? Are you crazy? How is this possible?"

  In the rankings of global economic freedom over the years, Hong Kong has always been ranked first, becoming a veritable free port. The so-called "tax havens", such as the British Virgin Islands, Bermuda and other offshore financial markets, actually include Hong Kong strictly speaking. It’s just that because Hong Kong’s own economy is very developed and it is one of the most important financial centers in the world, generally speaking, when people talk about offshore financial centers, Hong Kong is usually ignored.

   But this is just an illusion. In fact, in the ranking of global economic freedom, Hong Kong has always been considered one of the economies with the highest degree of freedom. It is precisely because of low taxes and non-intervention by the government that Hong Kong has become a prosperous financial center, shipping center, and tourist shopping center today.

  Now, a basically non-staff economic adviser is discussing with the chief executive of the HKMA, planning to intervene in the Hong Kong stock market and give up the status of the free market. In Shen Liantao’s view, this is simply a joke. Not to mention that these matters can only be discussed by the chief executive and the financial secretary, but even if the chief executive and the financial secretary pass similar decisions, the impact will definitely be world-class.

   "Of course we're not crazy!"

Zhong Shi smiled faintly, and took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, regardless of the big "NoSmoking" sign on the opposite wall. He said: "If the Hong Kong government is not willing to give up the label of a free port and does not agree with government capital entering the market to intervene, then I can help. But before that, I must reach some agreement with the Hong Kong government. What do you think? ?”

"what?"

   This time, not only Shen Liantao, but also Ren Yigang was also shocked. After looking at each other, the two cried out in unison.

   "Mr. Zhong, do you understand what you just said?" Shen Liantao shook his head and said with a wry smile. If before that, he was still convinced of Zhong Shi's professional knowledge and precise judgment, then the impression Zhong Shi left on Shen Liantao was greatly reduced when he said these words now.

  Are you kidding, want to use private capital to intervene in the market? Not to mention the current total market value of Hong Kong stocks, even the richest man in Hong Kong dare not say such a thing, because there is too much cash involved, and no one can get it out in a short time.

   Except, of course, the HKMA.

   "This person is still too young! He can't hold back his words!" Shen Liantao shook his head and smiled wryly, secretly drawing such a conclusion to Zhong Shi in his heart.

Although Ren Yigang on the side didn't say anything, the expression on his face had already betrayed his heart. Apart from shock, he was deeply disappointed. Obviously, he also thought that Mr. Zhong Shizhong was not as reliable as before. .

   "100 billion Hong Kong dollars, I can withdraw them at any time!" Regarding the changes in the expressions of the two, Zhong Shi, who was on the sidelines, could see everything at a glance.

"100 billion Hong Kong dollars, at any time..." The wry smile on Shen Liantao's mouth stopped immediately. He looked up at Zhong Shi in disbelief. Seeing that the other party's expression was solemn and did not seem to be fake, he quickly lowered his head and quickly judged Zhong Shi in his heart. The truth of these words. But after thinking about it for a long time, I still can't decide whether this remark is the truth or a joke.

  Ren Yigang's reaction was not bad. After all, he has close to 100 billion US dollars of capital on hand, which is nearly ten times higher than what Zhong Shi said. However, despite the calm expression on his face, if you observe carefully, you will find that there is a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. It is obvious that his heart is not as calm as the expression.

"Of course, I may still need some help from the Hong Kong government, such as releasing the wind. The source of this money is from Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves." At this time, Zhong Shi has gradually revealed his true intentions, and naturally he did not I kept it under wraps, and said it outright, "Of course, the Hong Kong government doesn't really need to spend this money. All I need is for them to show a **** attitude when facing the media. I will take the blame. In addition, in exchange, I will tell the Hong Kong government everything I know, and do my best to help you resist attacks from international speculators."

"In addition, I have an excellent plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. If it can be successfully implemented, it will definitely hit the international speculators who offend Hong Kong in one fell swoop. Of course, I may not be able to tell you these words, but if you can really help me introduce At a higher level, maybe I will consider telling you these things."

"Use private capital to support the Hong Kong stock market?" Even Ren Yigang was not calm now, and shook his head with a wry smile, "Am I getting old, or is the world developing too fast? It's so fast that I can't bear it." Is this reality?"

"Actually, it's good to do so!" Zhong Shi ignored his self-mockery, and continued in a persuasive manner, "Don't you have doubts about the strategies of international speculators? If I come to rescue the market, the Hong Kong government's funds can be invested openly. In the Hong Kong dollar market, nothing will go wrong. In addition, the name of Hong Kong Free Port can also be preserved. This is obviously a good thing that has the best of both worlds. President Ren, what do you think?"

"I can't answer you!" Ren Yigang said firmly, "I really can't answer you. This is a big matter. I have to discuss it with the Financial Secretary, or even the chief executive, or representatives from the mainland. So I There is simply no way to answer you now. Of course, I am personally very interested in your proposal. If possible, I invite you to the next meeting, and I hope you can convince them at the meeting. Also, I would like to know, you How much money has been prepared to resist international speculators?"

  Ren Yigang is very clear that since the other party said so, it means that he has already made a preliminary plan for the overall situation, and now he is just selling favors to the Hong Kong government. Because even if the Hong Kong government does not agree, the other party can still carry out activities of buying and selling Hong Kong stocks, but at that time it will be difficult to tell whether it is an enemy or a friend.

   "About US$15 billion!" Zhong Shi rolled his eyes a few times, and finally decided to tell the truth. Amidst the exclamations of Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao, he added, "I hope these funds are enough!"

  Ren Yigang is very fortunate that he didn't say anything to death just now. He picked up the teacup in hand and drank it to hide his uneasiness. Although I don't completely believe what Zhong Shi said, but if it is true, and there are three or five international speculators, then the Hong Kong government's foreign exchange reserves may disappear in half immediately, and he absolutely cannot bear the loss . After taking a few sips of tea indifferently, he suddenly asked: "Mr. Zhong, as far as you know, how many international speculators like you are there?"

"First of all, I'm not an international speculator, but a businessman who loves the country and Hong Kong!" Zhong Shi replied seriously, "Secondly, I can't answer you, how many people like me are there in this world. But make more preparations, always That's right, right!"

   Speaking of which, he looked at Ren Yigang with a narrow smile on his face, "If we can really reach an agreement with the Hong Kong government, then I may have to add another condition, which is related to the HKMA!"

   With a bang, the teacup in Ren Yigang's hand fell to the ground, and the hot tea splashed all over him, but Ren Yigang didn't realize it, and he was completely mesmerized.
