Chapter 822: Tiebreaker 1

Slide 822
On August 27, 1998, before the settlement of August futures, both the Hong Kong government and Soros Group made a decisive battle. On this day, the global financial market was generally in a downturn. The Dow Jones Index in the United States continued to fall, and Europe And the Latin American stock market also fell by 3% to 8%. The situation facing Hong Kong is very serious.
Especially because the share price of Far China Resources has fallen sharply for the fourth consecutive day, dragging down the Hong Kong Hang Seng Index a lot. Under the leadership of Zhou Hao, Zeng Yingquan and others, the Hong Kong government injected more than 100 dollars into the stock market in one morning. 100 million Hong Kong dollars, but it can only lift the Hang Seng Index by a few dozen points, with little effect.
"In our news, at 10:13 this morning, the Quantum Fund declared that the Hong Kong Government will lose." The major television stations in Hong Kong reported this news: "The Quantum Fund represents George Soros's views and positions, and like This kind of incident that Soros publicly entered a war with a government in the name of a certain company or some people and threatened to defeat the government is really unheard of. It is unprecedented. This kind of arrogant move is condemned and questioned."
Following the Quantum Fund’s declaration of war, speculator groups headed by Soros also immediately launched a large-scale sell-off of Hong Kong dollars and attacked several large blue chip stocks and state-owned enterprise stocks such as "Far China Resources", further suppressing the Hong Kong stock market.
Faced with such a severe situation, everyone in the Hong Kong government is nervous and anxious, especially Chief Executive Tung and Zeng Yingquan, because if Hong Kong is defeated, they are the ones who need to bear the greatest responsibility except Zhou Hao.
"Xiaohao, the offensive of those from Soros is very strong. It is very difficult for us to resist!" Zeng Yingquan gave the latest data to Zhou Hao, and said with a heavy face: "What should I do? If the stock market does not improve again , Our win will be much smaller."
Zhou Hao calmly said, "Don't worry, we will win the final victory."
"But the situation has become like this, how can I not worry about it!" Zeng Yingquan finally lost his temper to Zhou Hao's uniform answer. After all, this is about the luck of Hong Kong as a whole, and Zeng Ying is not nervous.
Seeing that Zeng Yingquan was really anxious, Zhou Hao showed a smile: "Quan Uncle, the more urgent things are, the less urgent they are."
"But, but..." Zeng Yingquan really didn't know what to say at this time. If he really lost, then he would not be able to atone for his crime by jumping off the building.
Zhou Hao raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's not the last moment, wait a minute, tomorrow it will be a hundred."
Seeing the appearance of Zhou Hao, the old god, Zeng Ying could not help but guess that Zhou Hao, or the central party, might have been recruited to deal with Soros, and since Zhou Hao is so calm, It's useless to worry about yourself.
But to really relax, Zeng Yingquan and the others couldn't do it. They could only spend the last day before the decisive battle with anxiety. On August 27, the Hong Kong government injected more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars into the stock market, and the Hang Seng Index finally rose by 78 points, but it was still much lower than the target of Zeng Yingquan and others. If this continues tomorrow In the situation, Hong Kong is about to lose.
And on this evening, the whole of Hong Kong seemed to be shrouded in a haze, the whole city fell silent, and there was no more bustling and noisy of the past, as if preparing for the decisive battle between the Hong Kong government and the Soros Group tomorrow.
There was no word for a night, and soon it was the 28th, which was the final settlement period for futures.
Although the Hong Kong government has successively entered the market with huge sums of money since the opening of the market, and spent more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars in less than half a day, under the fierce and fierce blow of the Soros Group, the market has still not improved.
"This time it's over. Hong Kong is going to lose. You see the government can't support it at all. It's been suppressed by Soros.
"I lost hundreds of thousands in the stock market before. If the government is defeated this time, our company will collapse, and we will have to lose jobs."
"Oh, it's terrible. If this happens, our Hong Kong economy will probably go backwards for more than ten years."
The people of Hong Kong are watching this final battle nervously, because Hong Kong’s success or failure is closely related to them. Although Hong Kong’s defeat will not cause them to suffer immediate economic losses, the Exchange Fund and Land Fund are Hong Kong’s family assets. Once the losses are heavy, Many government-led infrastructure projects will be forced to stop, and the social welfare and protection of Hong Kong citizens will be greatly weakened. In particular, Hong Kong's economic and investment environment will decline. This kind of macro regression is the most terrible.
Zeng Yingquan in the HKMA was also dejected and haggard. Looking at the beating numbers on the display board, Zeng Yingquan even had the urge to jump out of the window here. And Chief Executive Dong over there also sat down on a chair without saying a word, his lonely and haggard look was heartbreaking.
Most of the high-ranking officials of the Hong Kong government present were like this. Only Zhou Hao and Qin Donghai, who knew the inside story, could remain calm as always, and Zhou Hao did not comfort Zeng Yingquan and the others in the past, because at this time they used to comfort them. They will probably break out immediately. After all, too many words of comfort have been heard. The only thing that can reinvigorate them now is the actual situation of bringing them back to life.
On the other hand, seeing the Hong Kong stock market retreating, Soros, Julian and others cheered, and some even opened champagne to celebrate in advance. After all, they have also gone through a wave of intense battles during this period. .
Amidst the laughter of the film, Soros also came to Williworth with a wine glass and smiled at him: "Willie, it's almost over. We will be back to the United States soon. You haven't Go back to see your mother, so let me go back to see her with me this time, and let our family reunite."
Thinking of his mother who was still in the United States, Williworth felt warmth in his eyes, and he smiled: "Yes, after this time, I should go back to see my mother."
Hearing Williworth was willing to go back to the United States with him, Soros was even more happy. He said to Akins beside him: "Let the people below step up the offensive. I will celebrate my family reunion with a big victory! "
But at this moment, a trader stumbled in and looked around to find something. When his eyes saw Soros, he immediately ran over here and pushed the other people away, causing a scene. Scolded.
Seeing this panicked trader, Soros's face sank, with a bad feeling in his heart, while Williworth next to him, after seeing the trader, gave a sigh of relief.
"George...Mr. George...Russian...Russian side..." He panted and said intermittently to Soros: "The Russian government just announced that the exchange rate fluctuation range of the ruble to the US dollar has been expanded to 6.0- 9.5:1. At the same time, the repayment of foreign debts was postponed and the trading of national debt securities was suspended. The ruble depreciated by more than 80%, and the Russian stock and foreign exchange markets plummeted!"
"What?" Everyone present who heard this changed their expressions.
Soros and Julian were the first to react. Julian walked over and grabbed the trader and asked, "What are you talking nonsense, why did the Russian government suddenly make such a decision? Why are the financial oligarchs in Russia? Haven't heard anything about it? Are you a raised a spy sent by Zhou Hao!"
"No...No Mr. Robertson, I, I am not a spy." The trader quickly denied.
Soros asked someone to turn on the TV for the first time and sent someone to contact the US headquarters to confirm the news.
What was broadcast on TV was exactly the news report of Asia Television: "In this news, the Russian government spokesman announced a decision earlier, announcing that the floating range of the ruble against the US dollar would be expanded to 6.0-9.5:1 and that the repayment of foreign debts would be postponed. , And at the same time suspend trading of treasury securities.
The Russian government announced the news that the ruble immediately depreciated by more than 80%, and the Russian stock market plummeted by 15% within an hour!
At the same time, the Russian authorities today arrested Galvinz Montolowski and Formikir Ogaf on charges of tax evasion and illegal manipulation of the stock market. They are the Far East Bank of Russia and Siberia. The chairman of the Group Petroleum Corporation is one of the few richest people in Russia..."
Watching the news reports on TV, Soros and Julian and other key personnel were stunned, not only because the Russian government announced the fluctuation of the ruble exchange rate, but also because of Montorowski and Oga. The husband was arrested because the two Russian rich are financial oligarchs who colluded with Soros.
Almost at the same time, Akins also hurriedly walked over and said to Soro: "Fucked by Mr. George, the US has confirmed the news of the Russian government. The Russian government bonds we bought before and the ruble futures are now It's all turned into waste paper, and our quantum fund has lost more than 5 billion U.S. dollars!"
Atkins's words caused an uproar in the crowd, and even the losses of the Quantum Fund exceeded 5 billion U.S. dollars, and the other hedge funds were even more unbearable.
Julian's face is also very ugly, because the assistant just told him that the Tiger Fund's loss in Russia is close to six billion U.S. dollars, and the loss of the Quantum Fund is not much more than that!
