Things have evolved to this point, and Lu Feng basically understands the purpose behind these chaos, and then he goes back and looks at the decline of Hong Kong stocks mentioned in the financial newspaper.
This period has just fallen for six days, and it has started to pick up again in recent days.
The international media broke the news about the cooperation between Sharp and Hurricane Semiconductor, and some people began to exaggerate the threat of Lu Feng. This year's international situation was like a schizophrenia in China, and collapse theory was popular. However, the threat of Hurricane Semiconductor was also discussed by countless people.
sought after.
They believe that the reason why Hurricane Semiconductor will threaten the high-end industries in developed Europe and the United States is actually because the mainland will rise rapidly, the market size will be huge, and the unprecedentedly large consumer market will cultivate Hurricane Semiconductor into a behemoth.
Lu Feng looked at international newspapers and felt that these people were mentally ill. Sometimes two arguments even appeared in the same newspaper at the same time, which looked ridiculous.
On July 26, Lu Feng received via fax a high-level meeting on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate. This decision was the judgment of high-level experts on the situation of the Hong Kong dollar and the probability of problems in the future.
After research and judgment, the content believes that the Hong Kong dollar is important, and the Hong Kong stock market is equally important. For the stability of the economy, do not intervene rashly, and do a good job in risk management and control.
Regarding the international accusations against Hurricane Semiconductor, the foreign affairs department also responded. Wei Yandan, as the person in charge, accepted an interview with Ta Kung Pao.
Liucheng was originally on a business trip for a week, but because of this matter, he stayed in Fuso directly to facilitate communication at any time. So far, there is not much pressure.
More than 800 people recruited by Hurricane Semiconductor have been distributed to major projects after training. More than 70 people have been sent to Ruixin Laboratory to study, because most of them have to be sent back to domestic R&D centers and leave.
Quite a few.
Lu Feng is not very busy, he just goes to the company every now and then to visit.
The big guys on Wall Street no longer have this leisurely energy. Meetings are going on intensively one after another. For Hong Kong stocks, the test of the Hong Kong dollar has been completed. After a series of meetings, they believe that they can defeat the Hong Kong dollar and Hong Kong stocks. The time is set for
It's August 1st.
The first wave was initiated by Goldman Sachs, with Robertson as the main force and Soros with a small amount of funds. He was at best a soy sauce in this time. However, he has rich experience in monetary finance. As a consultant this time, it can basically be said that
It is he who is leading this event.
On July 31st, it was confirmed that it would be officially launched on August 1st. Soros returned to his residence and called Lu Feng.
In Xiangjiang, at around seven o'clock in the morning, Lu Feng was woken up by his mobile phone. In the past, mobile phones would not be placed by the bedside. There were many important calls during this period. Lu Feng did not dare to neglect and hurriedly picked up the phone and said: "I
It's Lu Feng, who is it?"
"Hello! It's me! Your old friend!" A fluent English came from the other end of the phone.
Lu Feng frowned when he heard this voice, leaned on the bed and said, "Do you know what time it is here? It's so early in the morning, do you want to be scolded?"
"Don't be so angry. I know you are preparing to deal with the financial crisis. You should be a participant, right? How are you prepared?" Soros laughed and said: "If you are not prepared, then I will just
I wish you good luck."
"The Hong Kong dollar is not the Thai baht, and China is not Thailand. I still advise you, don't lose money and not even be able to find your home." Lu Feng said solemnly.
"I would also like to advise you, don't get involved this time. Everything will officially start tomorrow. If you want to defend your national finance, you can, but you must be prepared to go bankrupt!" Soros had mixed feelings.
Chen Dao: "You should also experience the feeling of losing more than a billion dollars overnight."
Lu Feng couldn't help laughing when he heard his gritted words, and said, "Why didn't you say anything when you were sweeping across Southeast Asia? You only lost more than a billion? Is it money for you?"
"It's not about money!"
"I understand the issue of face, but I also tell you that you have no face with me! I will participate, and I tell you that I was assigned to Hong Kong dollars in both directions of Hong Kong stocks and Hong Kong dollars. It is useless to say this here.
See you at the market!" Lu Feng said and hung up the phone.
The bedroom was extremely quiet. The sunlight outside the window was shining brightly, shining through the gaps in the curtains in the room. Lu Feng picked up the phone on the bedside table and said, "Send me a pack of cigarettes to the bedroom."
Two minutes later, the nanny brought in cigarettes, a lighter, an ashtray, and a cup of coffee for improvement.
Lu Feng lit a cigarette and smoked silently, knowing in his heart that this time the wolf was really coming!
At 8:30 in the morning, Lu Feng had breakfast and first informed the higher-ups in Xiangjiang about the matter, and then informed the special office.
Everyone seemed to have been mentally prepared for this incident and did not show much surprise. That morning, Lu Feng went to the temporarily established special office in Hong Kong for a meeting.
The meeting lasted for more than two hours. Currently, Xiangjiang's own foreign exchange reserves are more than 90 billion US dollars. It is not easy to destroy these 90 billion US dollars in a short time. According to their thinking, these 90 billion US dollars can support the first wave.
Impact, the second wave of impact needs the support of the mainland.
Lu Feng said at the meeting that the power of short selling should not be underestimated. No one knows how many Hong Kong dollars they have reserved to sell. Once the other party fails to catch one dollar of the funds they throw out, it will be an avalanche.
This is not only a financial war, but also a confidence war. Once all locals in Xiangjiang give up, the pressure on finance will be too great.
After dinner at noon, Lu Feng got an account with 20 billion US dollars in the afternoon and told him to follow the instructions. This is 20 billion, not 200 yuan!
Lu Feng said that he must obey the command, and after leaving, he made a special trip to find Mr. Dong. The other party said that they had been carrying out financial intervention during this period, and they would pay special attention to it on August 1, so there was no need for Lu Feng to end it for the time being.
In the past month, many rumors have spread in Hong Kong. Even some wealthy circles are spreading rumors about the collapse of the Hong Kong dollar. Su Yourong was confused for a while. Her friend Jin Wanlian had some concerns about guarding the stock price of United Capital.
lack of confidence.
As of today, United Capital's share price has dropped to 29.4 yuan, and its market value has already fallen below 15 billion Hong Kong dollars.
At 4:30 in the afternoon, Su Yourong decided to inquire about the situation from Lu Feng's mouth, and called Lu Feng to invite him to dinner so that the two of them could get together.
At six o'clock in the evening, in a high-end Western restaurant, Lu Feng looked at the red wine worth tens of thousands of yuan a bottle and the steak worth two thousand yuan in front of him and said, "Isn't it a bit luxurious?"
"Is spending thirty to fifty thousand dollars on a meal considered a luxury?" Su Yourong lowered his head and cut a steak and said, "I've been a little restless lately. There are always some messy news in my ears, and the stock market is not stable. There were several times.
All companies preparing to go public have put their plans on hold."
"Don't listen to the wind, it's the rain. Once you pass this wind, things will get better. It's normal when you just come back." Lu Feng said casually.
"I heard from a friend on Wall Street that Soros is eyeing the Hong Kong dollar again. Which of the currencies he has been eyeing in the past few years is better? Which country in Asia is not frightened by the news?" Su Yourong sighed.
Said: "People are really panicked now."
"Where's the Thai baht?" Lu Feng raised his head and said with a smile, "I'm here."
"You raised the Thai baht, but now if you look at the Thai baht, has it fallen?" Su Yourong seemed to have thought of something terrible, staring at Lu Feng and said: "You wouldn't suggest that Xiangjiang learn from Thailand, would you?
?Lock the port, lock the stock market!”
"How is that possible? Besides, who will listen to what I say? Don't be so nervous, everything is normal!" Lu Feng put down his knife and fork and looked at her and said, "Besides, even if the stock market and currency collapse tomorrow, will you be able to run away?"
"You will definitely not be able to sell the asset if you sell it at the original price, but you can mortgage it to the bank at a low price and just take the money and leave!" Su Yourong said seriously.
Lu Feng laughed out loud when he saw the serious consideration on her face, and said: "A month ago you burst into tears watching the flag-raising, but now there's a slight disturbance, and it's you who is rubbing oil on the soles of your feet!"
"Patriotism is true love for country. If you don't want to go bankrupt, you really don't want to!" Su Yourong laughed and asked, "Can you tell me everything, is there any problem?"
"Let me tell you the truth. There is no big problem. They are indeed preparing to sell short. I have been in meetings all day and communicating with the boss. Do you think that in a small country, they can do whatever they want?" Lu Feng
He said proudly: "We are a great country!"
Seeing that he didn't look like a lie, Su Yourong relaxed and said, "This business has to be done at a higher level. We need to know any news as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter how big the business is, it will feel precarious.
"
After drinking and eating, Su Yourong was in a good mood. The two of them went back to Su Yourong's place to say goodbye. Lu Feng wanted to go back at twelve o'clock in the evening, but Su Yourong persuaded him to stay. In the end, Lu Feng went home.
Su Yourong was very confused about Lu Feng not staying at home, and she didn't understand until the next day.
The next day, the first day of August, the stock market plunged sharply as soon as the market opened. More than 500 stocks fell. They plummeted by four points in half an hour. Then funds came in to save the market. The two sides competed for an hour, and the trading volume exceeded 1.8 billion.
The Hong Kong dollar, the Hong Kong dollar began to fall, the short side was fierce, a large number of Hong Kong dollars were sold, and the long side couldn't lift its head at all.
Some stockholders in the exchange cried and cried, unable to believe that all this was true.
Su Yourong woke up at 10:30 in the morning, drank a cup of morning tea leisurely, and then received a call from Jin Wanlian.
"What did you say?" Su Yourong's voice was particularly harsh.
“Fall below twenty-five?”
"Funds have already entered the market. I also invested 50 million to cover the bottom. Now it is back to 26, but the situation is not good. The Hong Kong dollar foreign exchange futures plummeted by 3%. Wall Street went short on a large scale. This time it is again
It's Soros, the TV stations are broadcasting this incident live," said the other end of the phone.
Su Yourong felt like his whole body was numb. He was sitting there spinning around all day long. The only thing left in his mind was Lu Feng's face last night and what he told himself that they didn't dare to go short!
