Chapter 84: The game field of capital is so ruthless
1995 was not a good year for Japan.
First of all, Japan, which has the strongest economy in Asia, was the first to be breached. With the support of BUFF from natural and man-made disasters, the world's confidence in its market cannot be said to be high, but it can also be said to be avoided.
Let’s not talk about the long-term effects caused by major earthquakes. The radioactive contamination all over the ground will not be resolved within hundreds of years.
The day after the earthquake broke out, international hot money groups were like sharks that smelled blood and rushed around to bite.
Japan resisted for a few times and then quickly lay down, allowing the Quantum Fund led by Soros to cut into pieces of his flesh.
I thought it would be fine if I just tolerated it for a while, but the Japanese government underestimated the greed of international hot money and refused to let go after taking this bite, forcing Japan to continue to bleed.
Secondly, due to the deterioration of the economy, a series of crises broke out in Japan.
In order to save themselves, the Japanese consortium had to withdraw funds from various countries and repatriate them. This move triggered a series of consequences.
The first was South Korea, which had the largest investment in Japan. A large number of capital outflows caused South Korea's economy to suffer even worse, and then it quickly collapsed under the attack of international hot money.
Hunting syndicates composed of international hot money are wreaking havoc everywhere in East and Southeast Asia, leaving victims everywhere in their path.
In addition to the countries and regions that have been harvested, the surrounding places feel frightened and restless, fearing that the next target of international hot money will be aimed at them.
In July in Hong Kong Island, in the middle of summer, those wealthy businessmen did not feel the heat at all, and there was an icy chill in their hearts.
Under the threat of international hot money groups, these wealthy tycoons on Hong Kong Island could no longer sit still and began to frequently move around.
Those who felt they were powerful and well-connected went north to Beijing early to seek support from the mainland, while others went south to contact the wealthy people in Southeast Asia to discuss countermeasures.
Amidst the gloom and gloom, there was an atmosphere of joy in the luxurious box of the Palace Hotel.
Standing on the stage, Luo Min was businesslike and confident, holding a glass of champagne to greet the customers present.
"Our Paladin Foundation's income this month has reached 30% of the principal. We will create better results next. Thank you for your support."
The faces of the guests attending the banquet were filled with cheerful smiles, and they frequently toasted to each other and clinked glasses with those around them to celebrate.
As soon as Luo Minsheng stepped off the stage, he was surrounded by several acquaintances.
"Ronald, thanks to you this time, otherwise I wouldn't have missed the opportunity to make a fortune."
"Brother Sheng, you are so awesome. In just a few months, you have made the foundation a success. Don't forget me if you have any good projects in the future."
"Manager Luo, I have a few very energetic friends who are very interested in our foundation. I wonder when you will have time to have a meal together."
"Ronaldino, are you free on the weekend? I'm hosting a few old brothers..."
Luo Minsheng responded to various invitations with a smile, with a regretful expression on his face, "I also want to get together with everyone, but this is a critical moment and there is no time to delay. I must first ensure the return of your funds."
"By the end of this year, we are confident that we can double our sales, and this result will not live up to everyone's trust in us."
The people around him showed satisfied smiles and expressed their understanding that the foundation's business was more important.
A boss next to him asked hesitantly: "Ronald, you said that the Quantum Foundation will not come to Hong Kong Island this time."
"I can't say for sure. If there is any news, I will tell everyone as soon as possible." Luo Minsheng patted the other party's shoulder, "Don't worry, Boss Liu, even if the Quantum Fund really comes to Hong Kong Island,
It will not affect the income of our foundation. Our main investment market is still in the United States, and the income there is also considerable. I will recommend several long-term projects to you later."
Boss Liu nodded, "That's good. The funds are much safer in the United States. You can go out for a while."
Others also quickly spoke out and asked Luo Minsheng to help them transfer funds to the United States.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Minsheng raised another large amount of funds, and these people took the initiative to give him money, for fear that he would not want it.
Until late at night, Luo Minsheng ended his social activities and walked tiredly into the top floor of the Palace Hotel under the escort of his bodyguards.
Pushing open the office door, Luo Minsheng saw his boss standing in front of the computer and watching.
He slowly walked to the sofa next to him and sat down, "Boss, isn't it good for us to deceive customers like this?"
Qin Yi didn't even raise his head. He was typing on the keyboard while saying: "We are a private equity fund. We don't need to explain it to our clients in detail. As long as you make a steady stream of money for our clients, they won't care about themselves."
Did the money go to the United States or stay on Hong Kong Island?"
Luo Minsheng hesitated, "Will the Quantum Fund really attack Hong Kong Island this time?"
"These vampires are all insatiable, it's their nature, and they are now winning battles and are in the limelight. How can they let go of this fat piece of Hong Kong Island." Qin Yi raised his head and glanced at Luo Minsheng, "Why, are you worried?
"
"Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Siam, they can't stand it. How can Hong Kong Island stand it?" Luo Minsheng sighed, "Will Hong Kong Island's financial industry also collapse?"
"Don't worry, Hong Kong Island is different from them." Qin Yi lowered his head and continued to look at the computer screen, comforting him casually.
"What's the difference?"
"Because there is a biological father in Hong Kong Island." Qin Yi said lightly, "Do you think the mainland will not take action?"
"Mainland?" Luo Minsheng was a little surprised, "Can the mainland handle all this international hot money?"
"You'll know after you try it." Qin Yi still had a nonchalant expression, as if he wasn't worried about international hot money attacking Hong Kong Island at all.
Luo Minsheng looked at his boss who was hesitant to speak. He actually didn't have much confidence in this backstab plan.
The foundation was able to make so much money this time, not only because of the boss’s advance planning, but more importantly because they followed the pace of international hot money.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! After the international hot money breaks through the door, they just rush in and steal the money.
Now the offensive and defensive momentum has been reversed, with international hot money knocking on the door of Hong Kong Island, and what Luo Minsheng has to do is defend and backstab.
Facing the influx of international hot money, Luo Minsheng felt particularly uneasy.
Qin Yi smiled and said nothing, but picked up the phone and called the other side of the ocean directly.
"Jian Dazhuang, have you received the information I sent?"
"I got it, I'll sort it out and send it out in a moment." Jian Aowei hesitated, "Boss, the Quantum Foundation doesn't care about our information. They are only willing to share a small amount of profit with us. I think
It’s a bit outweighing the gain, since we have inside information, why not do it ourselves?”
Qin Yi replied: "The meat is too big, our teeth are not good, and the capital is too small to eat. This can help the giant crocodile end up eating as a meal."
"But this time they didn't even want to leave soup for us." Jian Aowei said angrily, "They said that our information was worth only one million US dollars at most, but they gave us a five-hundred-dollar one for the sake of their colleagues.
Swiss cashier's check for ten thousand."
Qin Yi paused and asked in a calm tone: "What did Soros himself say?"
"He said..." Jian Aowei hesitated, "He said business is business, and the game field of capital is so ruthless."
Qin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
He hung up the phone and dialed another number after thinking about it.
“Has the Clinton Family Foundation made a statement?”
"Still waiting and watching, they are skeptical about our plan." The other party paused and said hesitantly, "Boss, we can loot Hong Kong Island as planned, there is no need to take risks."
"This is not a risky matter." Qin Yi interrupted seriously, "The Quantum Foundation's attack will not succeed. The reason why I do this is not because I am from Hong Kong. This has nothing to do with patriotism.
It’s not about relationships, but about interests, and I don’t want to lose my money in vain.”
"Tell the Clinton Family Foundation and forget about it if they don't participate. Don't blame me for not reminding them. If they lose money then they will ask me to clean up their mess."
"Okay boss, I'll try my best to persuade them."
"Tell them that they don't have much time left."
Qin Yi hung up the phone and looked up at Luo Minsheng expressionlessly, "Protecting Hong Kong Island is just business. I'm not afraid of losing money. What are you afraid of?"
Luo Minsheng looked at Qin Yi blankly and nodded slowly.
…
In late July 1995, international hot money targeted Hong Kong Island, the international financial center, and the linked exchange rate system of Hong Kong Island. The Taiwan authorities suddenly abandoned the exchange rate of the New Taiwan dollar, which depreciated by 3.46% in one day, increasing their pressure on the Hong Kong dollar and Hong Kong Island.
Stock market pressure.
International hot money groups have continuously attacked the Hong Kong dollar through hedge funds in order to push up interest rates and interest rates.
While attacking the Hong Kong dollar, they are secretly targeting the Hong Kong stock market and futures market.
When the Hang Seng Index climbed to a high of 8,000 points, international hot money speculators aggressively shorted the Hang Seng Index and established a large number of short positions in the Hang Seng Index.
It severely suppressed the Hang Seng Index, causing the Hang Seng Index to plummet from 10,000 points to 8,000 points, and pointed directly at 6,000 points.
At this moment, the international speculators led by Soros are full of confidence and feel that Hong Kong Island has become a prey in their pockets. If confidence in the stock market collapses, they can rob it wantonly.
Mountain rain is about to come, and dark clouds are pressing over the city.
At a time when people were panicking, some international speculators suddenly took action and started to bullish the Hang Seng Index.
This sudden change caused the Hang Seng Index to stop falling and rebound. For a moment, everyone was shocked and speechless.
Soros quickly reacted and continued to increase his offensive intensity. At the same time, he ridiculed this overestimating move in the media, claiming that the collapse of the Hong Kong stock market would only happen in an instant.
However, before Soros's words had finished, a large number of Hong Kong and mainland funds entered the market, and the Hang Seng Index began to rise.
After half a month of seesawing, the Hang Seng Index went from 6660 points to 8860 points.
International hot money groups began to suffer huge losses and had to cut their losses and leave the market.
Subsequently, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority promulgated new regulations on foreign exchange, securities trading and settlement, which greatly restricted speculation by speculators.
International speculators saw that the situation was over and left one after another. At this point, the battle to defend Hong Kong Island came to an end.
Soros was so angry at the defeat that he vomited blood. He specifically contacted the boss of the Paladin Fund through an intermediary and asked him why he stabbed him in the back.
The other party replied lightly, "Business is business, and the game field of capital is so ruthless."
…
Late at night, Qin Yi stood in Victoria Bay, silently looking at the bright lights across the sea, not knowing what he was thinking.
Chen Xiaoming and Karitani Inuko stood beside him, excitedly watching the brilliant fireworks rising in the sky, and kept screaming.
The countdown bell begins to ring.
A few streets away, Lu Guohua, who was on duty on the street, was wearing a brand-new and crisp military uniform. He raised his hand and looked at the time on it.
When midnight arrived, he raised his head, looked at his subordinates standing in a row, and waved his hand.
Everyone quickly took off the cap badges on their heads and put on new ones.
Lu Guohua solemnly saluted his subordinates and said loudly: "Continue on duty!"
Lu Guohua casually threw the cap badge he had replaced on the ground, and stepped hard on the police badge with the crown with his shiny leather shoes.
