The Mid-Levels in Hong Kong originally referred to Victoria Peak and the nearby commercial areas on Hong Kong Island. Later, as the concept of Mid-Levels mansions became more and more popular, all the mansions built in the mountains on Hong Kong Island were called Mid-Levels Mansions. .

Chen Qing and his team arrived in Hong Kong at ten o'clock in the morning.

After landing, he rushed directly to a mansion located on Shi Xun Road on the top of Taiping Mountain.

In addition to Chen Qing herself and the sisters Jiangshan Wu and Jiang Yuanchi who were brought out by her for the first time, several of Chen Qing's right-hand assistants, Ran Yue, Catherine Elgar, and Lily Favel, have also been from the past few years. Shanghai or Hangzhou and other places arrived ahead of time, and there was also the Swiss girl Charlotte Brenita who has been active in the Chinese investment circle.

They are all women, and they all live here together.

It is not the first time for Chen Qing to come to Hong Kong, nor is it the first time to live in this mansion with an area of ​​about 3,000 square meters on Shi Xun Road.

However, after landing this time, I thought of one thing again.

My boss seems to have never been to Hong Kong.

Before that, Chen Qing even asked by chance if her boss didn't like this city. Someone had a slightly weird expression, expressing that she liked it very much, very much.

Chen Qing didn't delve into it either.

Perhaps, it’s probably because it’s too crowded here. A top-notch mansion only covers an area of ​​3,000 square meters. Excluding the lawn, swimming pool and observation deck, the main villa occupies an even smaller area, only 1,200 square meters. identity.

The boss likes big ones.

The bigger the better.

Chen Qing also proposed to buy land to build a more spacious mansion here. Although the land in Hong Kong is tight, as Simon Westeros, it is not easy to buy it.

It's a pity that my boss didn't agree, and he looked like he lacked interest.

No reason was explained.

Chen Qing didn't ask any more questions.

This time, I didn't have time to pay attention to those trivial matters. When I arrived at the mansion, I joined the people waiting here, and briefly discussed some arrangements here. Chen Qing took Ran Yue and Charlotte Brown Lenita and several others left again and rushed to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.

There's a meeting over there at 11 o'clock.

At the end of the meeting, at noon, we had a meal with Jared Buckley, the president of the China Investment Department of Apollo Management Company, and a vice president of AOL who will appear together in the afternoon to participate in the press conference.

After some discussions at the dinner with my own people, at one o'clock in the afternoon, I met again with some representatives from China and Drucken Miller, the chief investment officer of Quantum Fund who will appear this time.

Time flies so fast.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, and everyone started to rush to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center where the press conference was about to be held. This time, we specially rented a hall for speeches there, which can accommodate thousands of people without any problem.

Hello everyone, our official account will find gold and coin red envelopes every day, as long as you pay attention, you can receive them. The last benefit at the end of the year, please seize the opportunity. Public number [book friend base camp]

At the same time, hundreds of journalists stationed in Hong Kong from TV, newspapers, Internet and other media in Hong Kong and around the world who were temporarily notified also gathered to the Convention and Exhibition Center from all over Hong Kong Island.

Everyone is keenly aware that something big is about to happen.

However, because they only received an urgent notice from the Hong Kong government, they didn't even know what to announce. Most people still didn't think about Hong Kong's financial market.

Inside a lecture hall at the convention center.

Five minutes before two o'clock, the reporter Takashi Komura of Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun" arrived with his assistant and photographer Naki Ando on foot, and saw that the hall that could accommodate thousands of people had already done More than one-third, hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed over.

It's a pity that there are no seats in the first few rows.

Signaling Ando Naki to go to the front of the podium to take pictures, Komura Takamasa searched left and right again, saw the figure of Okada Sawa, a reporter from Japanese NHK TV station, he came to sit directly behind the other party, and patted The middle-aged senior in front: "Hello, Mr. Okada."

Okada Ze was originally chatting with a reporter from the American CNN, when he heard the words, he turned his head and saw that it was Takamasa Komura, who greeted him with a smile: "Hello, Takamasa. Oh, where is the beautiful Ms. Ando next to you?" ?”

Takashi Komura echoed with a smile, and motioned to the front: "Naixi has gone to the front, Mr. Okada, do you know what is going on?"

Okada Ze shook his head: "There is no clue at all."

As they spoke, they introduced Eddie Fogler, a CNN reporter beside him, and greeted each other a few words, but Fogler was also at a loss.

Since everyone didn't know about it, and the topic didn't continue, Komura Takamasa asked again: "Mr. Okada, I heard that you are also investing in derivatives and have made a lot of money, right?"

When Okada Ze heard Komura mention this, his already wrinkled face cracked more creases again, and he said with a smile: "Not much, not much, just to subsidize the family. Drink together, by the way, call Miss Ando, ​​you are a man, you should take the initiative."

Takashi Komura just looked at Okada Ze's expression, and he knew that the other party's related investment could not be just to the extent of subsidizing the family.

It is indeed impossible.

Unlike stocks, there is a capital threshold in the field of derivatives, and international derivatives investment is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Takashi Komura was inevitably a little envious. He is 31 years old this year and has been working hard. He finally got this expatriate post in Hong Kong, and his future is pretty good.

Unfortunately, however, the best years of the Japanese economy are behind us, so there is no saving in these years.

Besides, this Mr. Okada is in his early fifties this year. Although he is still working as a reporter, because he made some investments during the best years of the Japanese economy in the 1970s and 1980s, his net worth can be described as rich, plus luck He has always been good, even after the Japanese economic downturn since the 1990s, he is still a well-known rich man in the circle.

Everyone was chatting, and when two o'clock came, a host came onto the stage, and the hall quickly fell silent.

"Everyone, everyone," the host said in Cantonese, fortunately, this is not a problem for everyone sitting here: "I'm sorry for inviting everyone here suddenly, but I believe that the following news will definitely not disappoint you. "

The backstage of the lecture hall.

Chen Qing doesn't plan to show up in public, she also likes to be behind the scenes just like her boss.

Seeing representatives from China on both sides of Beijing and Hong Kong, Jared Buckley, Charlotte Brenita, Drucken Miller from Quantum Fund and others filed out, Chen Qing smiled and said to the people around her. Ran Yue said: "Sister Ran, call and ask what the Hang Seng Index is now. It's a memorable moment."

Ran Yue didn't take out her phone, but said directly with a smile, "I already asked, just now, 9372 o'clock."

"9372 points, A Su and I have already lost money on our positions, so I feel so distressed."

Ran Yue smiled without saying a word.

Maybe the Hang Seng Index will fall a little during this short period of time, but, no surprise, at two o'clock in the afternoon on October 28, 1997, it will become the lowest point of the Hang Seng Index for a long time to come.

Chen Qing and Ran Yue were talking, and the press conference in the lecture hall had already entered the topic.

The first to be announced are three cooperation projects that have been secretly negotiated for a long time, Hangzhou Xiaoshan Airport, Suzhou-Hangzhou Expressway, and China Telecom with a total scale of 3 billion US dollars.

In the end, an additional investor from Hong Kong was added to the three projects, the purpose of which was obvious.

However, in fact, there is no need to even announce these three projects. Hundreds of media reporters at the press conference are not short of news-sensitive reporters. They just saw representatives of the Westeros system and Quantum Fund standing with the Chinese team. Just about what was expected.

Especially the appearance of Drucken Miller, chief investment officer of Quantum Fund.

It's obvious, the camps that should be in opposition... suddenly want to reconcile!

The next three projects, obviously, prove it again.

The media reporters in the speech hall couldn't wait to take out their mobile phones to connect to the outside world before the host's introduction to the three joint venture projects was over.

Good.

Super positive.

However, immediately afterwards, the reporters discovered that this super good news was just an appetizer.

After the announcement of the joint venture project, Drucken Miller of Quantum Fund delivered a short speech, saying that Quantum Fund has always been very optimistic about Hong Kong's economy. Before and in the future, it will not try to short Hong Kong's currency and stock market. Not only that, Quantum Fund will also set up a US$1 billion investment fund to invest in high-quality companies in Hong Kong and mainland China.

Hundreds of reporters at the scene were dumbfounded.

This is, complete betrayal.

As we all know, the Quantum Fund is the leader in attacking Asia, and it can be called a commander-level existence. In the past few months, a large number of international hot money has actually followed the Quantum Fund to operate, pointing to where to fight.

As for Hong Kong...

Although there was some news that Quantum Fund did not establish a position against Hong Kong before, Soros also did not clarify. With the plummet of the Hang Seng Index, more and more people only think that it must be fake news.

Now, Drucken Miller's rhetoric not only proves that the previous gossip is true, but also thoroughly declares that the Quantum Fund has suddenly stood on the opposite side of a large number of international hot money that it once led.

What is the situation? !

Could it be that wolves don't eat meat and eat grass instead? !

Immediately, things are not over yet.

Jared Buckley, President of the China Investment Department of Apollo Management, a subsidiary of Cersei Capital under the Westeros system, which is obviously more heavyweight, also said that, by name, Simon Westeros has always been very optimistic about the Chinese economy. Therefore, this time, the Westeros system will set up an investment fund with a total scale of US$5 billion in the Hong Kong branch of Apollo Management Company, which will be dedicated to investing in Hong Kong and mainland China.

In addition, given that the Hang Seng Index is already at a considerable low level, this investment fund will continue to buy a number of high-quality stocks in the Hong Kong stock market for the purpose of long-term holding.

Fry pan again.

Simon Westeros is going to directly support the Hong Kong stock market!

5 billion U.S. dollars, equivalent to more than 40 billion Hong Kong dollars. At this stage, the average daily trading volume of the Hong Kong stock market is only around 10 billion Hong Kong dollars. If Simon Westeros is entrusted, with the influence of the Westeros system and this huge amount of funds, there must be a large number of capital following the trend. It is conceivable that the Hong Kong stock market will be pulled to 16,000 points again. possible.

It's just... this... some bad rules, right?

When everyone has not reacted from the shock, at the end of the conference, an official of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority issued the last statement of the conference. In view of the recent malicious attacks on Hong Kong by international financial capital, in order to protect Hong Kong To stabilize the financial market, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority will take appropriate measures next

Measures to resist short-selling capital maliciously attacking Hong Kong.

There was another uproar.

The hedging leader turned against the water, the super big capital supported it, and the authorities intervened in the market.

Three-pronged approach, what a big hand!

Most of the reporters at the scene were reporters from the financial field, and they had a wealth of knowledge in related fields. Faced with this series of news, it was easy to make a judgment: None of the various short-term capitals that have plunged into Hong Kong in the past period of time can't escape!

The words of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority official had just finished, and before the host announced that he would enter the questioning session, a middle-aged man suddenly stood up in a seat at the back of the stage, shouted in Japanese with an extremely excited expression, and then seemed to reflect Come here and change Cantonese again: "Conspiracy, you are a conspiracy, betrayal, Soros, how can you betray us. There is also Hong Kong, and Simon Westeros, you are all traitors, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, You have no right to intervene in the market, this is against the free market theory, you are breaking the law, I will sue you..."

The middle-aged man became more and more excited, and suddenly took off one of his shoes, and was about to throw it on the stage. The security guards who responded quickly rushed over, and someone snatched the shoe from the middle-aged man. The other two The strong security directly grabbed the opponent from the back row, picked up the middle-aged man from his position like pulling a carrot, and quickly carried him out of the field.

The sudden change made many reporters on the scene startled for a moment, and then suddenly they turned their cameras to the stage, and the flashlights chased after the middle-aged Japanese man who was dragged out of the venue.

Somewhere in the audience, Takashi Komura of "Yomiuri Shimbun" was watching the senior struggling to be dragged out. Even though he suppressed the expression on his face as much as possible, it was inevitable to gloat. Since Okada Ze likes to play financial transactions so much, and just happened to be stationed in Hong Kong in the past few years, it is obvious that the other party must have invested in Hong Kong.

Although Okada Ze himself can only be regarded as a small shrimp in the huge international derivatives market in any case, for him, he may have already weighed all his net worth.

The Hong Kong side teamed up with two major international capitals to come here suddenly. Takashi Komura, who is also an economic reporter, knows very well that even if the chips invested by the senior are not cleared, there is absolutely little left.

After a short episode, the venue became quiet. Takashi Komura only heard the Hong Kong Monetary Authority official on the stage answer questions from reporters, saying, "China is a sovereign country and has the right to take whatever we think is right to maintain the regional economy." and the stability of the financial order'.

With such explosive news, in order not to miss any important news, Takashi Komura quickly collected his thoughts, looked up to the stage, and prepared to raise his hand to ask questions.
