Chapter 1347 Feat
Hearing Soros's affirmative reply, several Wall Street tycoons nodded and said: "As long as we have the support of the beautiful country, this victory will be 90% won."
"It has become a consensus in the West to destroy China. We just need to relax our hands and feet," Soros said.
"How do you think it should be arranged?" one of the bosses asked.
"Our analysis team previously estimated that it would cost 80 billion U.S. dollars to bring down Xiangjiang Financial. But to be on the safe side, I need to increase this number to 100 billion or 120 billion. Only in this way can we be completely sure. .
Moreover, the exchange rate market is just a feint. Our real purpose is to short the Hong Kong stock market. I am sure that as long as we sell a small amount of Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market, Hong Kong will inevitably increase the exchange rate and tighten the local Hong Kong dollar market, and the stock market will inevitably be greatly affected. Impact, this will give us opportunities." Soros said with a smile.
"Pretending to attack the exchange rate market, but actually shorting the Hang Seng Index, this tried and tested method is more than enough to deal with Hong Kong." One of the big guys answered with a smile.
"Yes, the current director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority is named Ren Zhihe. He is a financial expert who has studied in the West. He has been the director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority since 1993 and is the main person in charge of the financial layout of Hong Kong."
As soon as Soros said this, someone interrupted: "Can he become one of ours?"
"He is supportive of Xiangjiang's return and is one of China's supporters. It is not easy to instigate rebellion, and if he resorts to such tactics, it is likely that Xiangjiang will be able to seize the opportunity, so that everything we have accumulated before will be wiped out. ." After Soros finished speaking, he added: "So, we can only use his weaknesses to encircle and suppress him."
"What's his weakness?" someone asked.
"Although he has been in the financial field for many years, he has little practical experience and is a very stubborn person. Once such a person falls into a trap, it will be too late when he wakes up." Soros pursed his lips and smiled: "Tomorrow I have arranged an interview, and reporters from the Wall Street Journal will fly here by helicopter. They will conduct an interview with me at that time, and I will give a sneak peek during the interview to see if Ren Zhihe can accept the move."
"Okay, now that you have made a decision, we can just play with you, but..." Goldman Sachs President Marcus, who has been silent, said: "But don't forget one person, he is also in Xiangjiang . ”
"You mean Li Siwen?" These three words immediately appeared in Soros's mind.
"In the battle in Thailand, we theoretically forced him to retreat, but later clues proved that our previous guesses were completely correct. This was just a way for him to use us to make money, so look at his failure from another perspective. It is a success." Marcus said slowly: "And the news from Xiangjiang is that the Red Sea Fund has always been closed. The industry is guessing what their next project will be, which must be a hidden danger for us."
A few months ago, Marcus's words only aroused Soros's disdain, but today Marcus reminded him again, but Soros had to take it seriously.
He has received the news that the Red Sea Fund has liquidated all principal and interest, which shows that Li Siwen has made a lot of money in the Thai financial market. This shows that all the ridicule that Li Siwen fought with him was just because he was afraid that he would leave the market early. How humiliating is it to strategize and ultimately become the opponent's pawn?
Most importantly, he still clearly remembered what Li Siwen said, 'Our real battlefield is not Thailand.'
What does this sentence mean? Could it be that the real battlefield is Xiangjiang? The other party had already expected that he would take action against Xiangjiang. Thinking of this, Soros felt a chill go down his spine. After a while, he said to the crowd: "Don't worry, everyone. If that guy named Li Siwen dares to interfere this time, we will settle the old and new accounts with him, and we will definitely let him die without a burial place."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Marcus and said, "Marcus, can you get some clues from Buffett? Let him talk to us about what kind of person Li Siwen is?"
Soros's inquiry is not casual. For investors, understanding the opponent's character is a crucial step. While analyzing the market, they will also analyze their own actions. Just like in Thailand, they early One of the goals was to be promoted to the Minister of Finance of Thailand, but Li Siwen got there first.
However, when Soros cast a trusting look, Marcus shook his head slightly and said: "I also want to know, but Buffett will definitely not say it. After all, Li Siwen is his partner, and he also admires him very much. This is why I told you to pay attention to Li Siwen before."
Hearing Marcus's words, Soros could only nod helplessly and said: "It seems that we can only contact our friends in China to ask about the situation."
——
On August 3, 1997, the Wall Street Journal published an exclusive interview with Soros.
Because it took Soros only half a year to collapse Thailand's financial market, and a financial crisis ensued, many people believed that the initiator of the Asian financial crisis was Soros, and even reporters called him the son of Satan.
However, Soros is very modest. He pointed out in the report that he was just a trigger, and that the cause of the Asian financial crisis had nothing to do with him. Even if he did not touch the Asian financial market, the Asian financial crisis would still break out, but It will be later, he just burst the bubble.
Soros then analyzed the economic problems and economic structure of Asia, from Japan to South Korea to Thailand, all pointing to the real estate and financial markets.
Soros then brought the topic to Xiangjiang. He directly named Xiangjiang in the report as another area with extremely serious market bubbles, and even claimed that Xiangjiang is a place where unlimited money can be made.
When a reporter asked him if he wanted to short the Xiangjiang financial market, he smiled and said that he would probably try it. He also claimed that if he could defeat the Xiangjiang market, which has the third largest U.S. dollar holdings in the world, it would be A historic feat.
Then the reporter raised the issue of China behind it, and Soros said very slyly: China is an ancient civilization. I believe they will respect Hong Kong and the hard-won financial market. If China dares to interfere in the financial field of Hong Kong, it will inevitably Let the whole world oppose it and believe that China will make the right choice.
