Chapter 637 Financial Chaos Begins

Time has unknowingly come to the end of June. Driven by various national planning projects, the reform of state-owned enterprises has begun to accelerate, the domestic economy has developed rapidly, and international cooperation has begun to unfold. Everything seems so prosperous.

As early as May this year, Yang Dongxu rarely appeared in China. He has been traveling between Hong Kong and the United States. In late May, he has been fixed in Hong Kong without moving. Until now, in June, he seems to have no intention of leaving.

At the same time, he is accompanied by Zhou Ya, who has been managing his career in the United States. The Hong Kong housing market continues to be hot, even crazier than at the beginning of the year. But under such a hot surface, there are undercurrents.

Especially with only two days left in the countdown to Hong Kong's return, all capital is a little eager to move. Because so far, although the Republic has been sending various positive signals to the outside world, it has not given a definite answer to the Hong Kong housing price issue that has been asked many times.

So Yang Dongxu, who was low-key in Hong Kong at the beginning, began to go in and out of some high-end consumption places from time to time during this period. He either drank tea with Uncle Six, or had a barbecue with a big star, or went to the lively Jockey Club to play a few games.

The whole feeling was very relaxed, as if they were sure of victory. This made many panicked speculators feel much more at ease.

On July 1, 1997, the Republic officially resumed the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong. From midnight on June 30 to the early morning of July 1, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Center was brightly lit, and the world-renowned handover ceremony between China and Britain was held in the fifth-floor Grand Hall here.

This was a sleepless night. The expectations of the Chinese people for nearly a hundred years were finally realized. Many people burst into tears. Some people were as uneasy as if they had lost their parents.

When the morning sun rose, the quiet Hong Kong began to become noisy. After people went to work and the stock market opened, those who were celebrating happily were still celebrating, and those with ugly faces were still gloomy. The tense police patrolled more seriously than before.

The eyes of the world have been staring at Hong Kong from midnight to daytime without leaving. The peaceful day passed quickly, and the chaos expected by some dark-minded people did not appear. The society was as safe as ever.

Even if different people have different thoughts, they have spent a day of excitement or disappointment. The sun rose as usual on July 2.

At this time, in a high-end office building in Hong Kong, all computer screens were turned on, and nearly a hundred carefully selected traders were sitting in front of the computers. The computer screens all showed the screens of the stock market about to open. However, the screens did not show the trading orders of the Hong Kong stock market, but those of Thailand.

A pin drop could be heard in the entire office building. At around nine o'clock in the morning, a piece of news made everyone's breathing become basic. The Thai government officially announced that it would abandon the fixed exchange rate system and implement a floating exchange rate system. For a time, international capital, which had been sharpening its knives, rushed fiercely to the Thai baht market like a shark chasing blood.

On that day, the exchange rate of the Thai baht against the US dollar directly dropped by 17%, and the foreign exchange and other financial markets were in chaos. Under the influence of the fluctuations of the Thai baht, the Philippine peso, the Indonesian rupiah, and the Malaysian ringgit began to be affected, becoming the targets of international capital after devouring the blood and flesh of the Thai baht.

In August, Malaysia gave up its efforts to protect the ringgit. The Singapore dollar, which has always been strong, was also hit. Indonesia began to be affected. It was the last country to be affected, but it was indeed the country that was hit the hardest.

"Boss, something seems to be wrong." A manager who was always paying attention to the exchange rates of various countries rushed into an office in a hurry.

"What's the problem?" Soros, who was smoking a cigar and exhaling a puff of smoke. He looked at the computer screen in front of him and asked lightly.

The data on the computer screen kept fluctuating again and again, and the lines that kept declining and twisting one after another seemed to him like a beautiful note at this time, as if they were playing a symphony of victory for him.

He felt that he was like the king of the world at this time. The financial markets of those weak countries were trembling and anxious under his overlooking.

"The income is not right." The manager said hurriedly.

Massacre, facing the impact of international capital, these countries with immature financial markets are like a quiet sardine farm that is violently broken by a great white shark. In this fish farm, the great white shark can take whatever it wants and be unscrupulous.

But as the actual operator of the great white shark harvesting sardines, the manager saw countless sardines being released from the violently dismantled nets, but when he kept swallowing these sardines, he found that the number of sardines entering his stomach was completely inconsistent with what he saw, and it seemed that there were fewer sardines at once.

At first, he thought it was just an individual phenomenon, or the great white shark was too violent, so the data was not so accurate for a while. But after repeated inspections and audits, he was sure that this was not his illusion. The sardines released by him from the fishing grounds were indeed disappearing inexplicably, and the number of disappearances was far greater than the number swallowed by him.

"Benefits?" Soros frowned and looked at the statistical report in the manager's hand.

Rows of seemingly statistical figures were constantly scanned by him, and several pages of densely packed statistical reports were quickly read by him. After reading the last column of numbers, he frowned while sitting on the throne.

"When did this happen?"

"I'm not sure about the details. I'm asking my staff to compare the previous data with the financial parameters of East Asian countries we have at the beginning." The manager said nervously.

This can't be blamed on his cowardice. Anyone who is enjoying a feast among a group of sardines suddenly finds that there may be a bigger monster hidden behind him, silently sharing most of the results of this feast, and even the great white shark in front of him may want to swallow it in one bite, as long as he is nervous.

"Tell me immediately when you have a conclusion." Soros glanced at the zigzag lines on the computer again.

At this time, he looked at these lines and felt that they didn't have the beauty just now. Instead, he felt that these waves that were constantly fluctuating were like smiling faces laughing at him, making his face gradually become gloomy.

The data was quickly counted. Soros, who saw the data report, smashed the cigar in his hand to the ground, and the computer screen in front of him was lifted up and violently thrown to the ground.

Seventy percent, the seventy percent of the income that should have been pocketed by him disappeared. And just when he turned his head to see what kind of enemy was following him, the other party disappeared silently without leaving any trace, just like the god of death who follows you like a shadow. You may be aware of his existence, but you can't be sure where he is, let alone see him.

"Boss, our plan" After Soros vented and sat back in his boss chair panting, the manager looked up and asked carefully.

"In advance, all plans are in advance, and take advantage of the chaos to catch this guy for me." Soros crushed a cigar he had just taken out.

In an office in an office building in Hong Kong, Yang Dongxu drank an unknown number of cups of coffee with a tired face. Originally, he thought that as long as he determined the general direction, with professional traders and managers, he could easily stand aside and watch the situation.

But if you really participate, how can you be so calm. Even though he is now the biggest hidden winner, after seeing the series of fluctuating numbers, he still can't help but roar excitedly and feel uneasy from time to time.

Anyone who works in finance needs a big heart, especially decision-makers who absolutely need a heart as strong as steel, because the series of digital fluctuations are challenging your heart rate every moment, making you want to put a quick-acting heart-saving pill into your mouth frequently.

"Have you been discovered?" Looking at the latest statistics and the monitoring data of the international huge capital flow, Yang Dongxu raised his mouth and showed a mocking smile: "The reaction is a bit slow."

In early September, the international capital that had originally assembled troops and prepared to sharpen its knives against South Korea suddenly turned back and attacked Hong Kong. This was more than a month earlier than Soros's blitzkrieg against Hong Kong in history.

Although the early deployment of troops confused many people this time, it plunged into the pocket that Yang Dongxu had prepared.

On September 6, the Hang Seng Index fell 1211.47 points, and fell 1621.80 points three days later, falling directly below the 9,000 mark in three days.

At this time, a mysterious fund suddenly appeared, no matter how many short-selling orders for the Hong Kong financial market appeared in the market, they were all eaten up.

Under the timely protection of this huge amount of capital, the Hang Seng Index began to rise steadily, which made Soros, who was sitting in his office staring at the computer, crush the cigar in his hand again.

At this time, the Korean financial market was invaded by a mysterious fund and began to be turbulent, and then the Japanese financial market also began to be turbulent.

Facing the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong, which seemed to be a thick turtle shell on the ship in an instant, Soros decisively cut off his tail to survive, and rushed into the Korean and Japanese financial markets with his bloody body, trying to make up for all the previous losses.

This made the financial markets of the two countries, which could have been slightly eased, suddenly become bloody. At the beginning, the fences of the financial streets of the two countries were torn by an unknown fund.

Finally, they began to be destroyed by Soros, the great white shark, and the huge blue whale hidden in the deep water behind the great white shark, followed the great white shark again and began to quietly devour most of the results obtained after the former tore open the gap.
