In the terrace restaurant of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong, two foreigners were sitting there enjoying a delicious meal. Looking out from here, they could see the charming night view of the entire Tsim Sha Tsui.
However, these two foreigners did not look like ordinary people at first glance, because there were more than ten burly men standing around their table, alertly paying attention to the surrounding situation and not allowing anyone to approach the two foreigners.
One of the men, a man in his sixties, was a Jew. He didn't look amazing, but he was in good spirits. He smiled and gave people a very peaceful feeling. Sitting opposite him was a man in his early forties.
, with deep eye sockets and a high and hooked nose bridge, but he has a strong aggressiveness.
If anyone who knows international finance is present, they will definitely be surprised to see these two men.
These two foreigners are surprisingly the world-famous first-in-command of the Quantum Fund, George Soros, and the second-in-command of the Quantum Fund, Christopher Adkins, who serves as George Soros’s deputy.
Since the early 1990s, George Soros's Quantum Fund and Julian Robert's Tiger Fund have been the most powerful and prestigious hedge funds on Wall Street in the United States, and they are also the objects of worship from people in the global financial community.
"Akins, how are you? Does the Chinese food taste good?" Soros put a piece of plump roast goose into his mouth with his shining silver fork, and at the same time smiled at Christopher Adkins opposite.
Christopher Adkins nodded slightly: "It's really not much. No wonder everyone says that living in a British house, eating Chinese food, and marrying a Japanese wife are the three highest enjoyments in life. This really makes sense." As he said, he added
Put the tender belly meat of the steamed grouper in front of you into your mouth and chew it carefully.
I heard Soros laugh and say: "China is a country with thousands of years of history. The so-called four ancient civilizations, in fact, the other three countries are simply incomparable to China. The only real ancient civilization is China. Her culture
It is something we cannot fully understand, and it truly deserves the word 'broad and profound'."
"Mr. George, you have set your sights on Hong Kong this time. You must be curious about Chinese culture." Akins said with a smile.
"It is true that I have always been interested in Chinese culture. But when it comes to business matters, haha, I never like to mix my personal feelings into it." Soros picked up the cup of Lao Moutai in front of him.
After taking a sip, he closed his eyes and leaned back on the chair with an expression of enjoyment: "In business, in terms of business, the only two factors that can affect my decisions are profit and loss."
Glancing at Adkins, Soros asked: "Are everything ready?"
Akins also took a sip of Moutai, nodded and said: "That's almost it. Conservative estimates suggest that the total amount of hot money from various countries following us this time has at least exceeded the 100 billion U.S. dollar mark. Except for those companies that agreed to serve as our funds
Apart from the banks that support it, most of the other main forces are fund organizations that want a piece of the pie. And in my estimation, there must be many Chinese people in those fund organizations, and these guys know how to make a fortune out of the country."
Soros laughed when he heard this: "China has never lacked traitors. In terms of unity, they are not as good as us Jews."
Although there was no clue on the face of Akins across from him, he secretly sneered at Soros's words: Speaking of traitors, you Jews are no better than the Chinese. God knows how many Jews in the Nazi-occupied areas were murdered.
His own compatriots were killed.
But Soros is his boss, so of course Adkins will not say these words.
Just listen to Akins say: "Mr. George, are you and Mr. Julian really so confident in this action? You know, the foreign exchange reserves of China and Hong Kong are the second and third largest in the world. Our previous offensive
It was just a test, and it hadn't crossed their bottom line yet, so they didn't make any big moves.
However, if we make a large-scale invasion, China and Hong Kong will probably fight back. Today's China's economic power is not comparable to that of England back then. Can we still win so easily?"
Soros took out a cigar, and the bodyguard next to him immediately lit it for him. Soros took two puffs of the cigar with enjoyment, exhaled a wisp of smoke from his nose, and said: "Although China has a civilized history several years ago,
But when it comes to the history of capital finance, they are much shorter than us. Their financial market order is still far behind. If we don’t kill them now, do we really have to wait until their financial order is improved?
Take action?
Especially soon after Hong Kong's return, China will definitely not let Hong Kong's economy collapse. In Chinese language, this situation is like 'throwing the rat in the face'."
He looked at the curl of smoke he had exhaled and said as if to himself: "Besides, this action is not entirely a private action. Behind us is the Federal Reserve Bank of the United States. Compared with
The Federal Reserve Bank, China’s and Hong Kong’s foreign exchange reserves don’t matter.”
Akins nodded, deeply agreeing with Soros's point of view.
Looking at the ferocious lion puffing in front of him, and looking at the night view of Tsim Sha Tsui outside, Akins thought to himself: This lion is going to hunt again, and Hong Kong is about to usher in a bloody storm.
.
"By the way, I heard that Mr. Ling also works for a financial investment company here in Hong Kong." Akins suddenly said. And the people he was talking about were not Soros's well-known sons, but only a handful of them.
An illegitimate child that only people know about.
Like many other successful men, Soros is also a romantic man. In addition, he is indeed talented, so he has more than one woman by his side both before and after marriage. However, except for those children with legal status,
In addition, Soros only has one illegitimate child, whom he had with a female singer when he was forty years old.
At that time, Soros also wanted to take his son back home, but the female singer asked Soros to divorce his first wife and stay with her. Since Soros refused, she left without saying goodbye. Even if Soros later found her, she also
He still refused to go back with Soros. In desperation, Soros could only visit the mother and son every once in a while and meet all their material needs.
Compared with his upright sons, Soros likes his illegitimate son, because like him, the illegitimate son is a genius in financial operations and has obtained almost all of Soros's true heritage.
But whether it was due to the influence of his mother or his own opinions, he always disliked Soros and did not even admit that Soros was his father. After graduating from college, he did not accept Soros's invitation to work at the Quantum Fund.
He found a unique way to go out on his own. Apart from knowing his general whereabouts, Soros has not been able to see him for a year.
As for the existence of this illegitimate son, except for Soros' close friends and confidants like Akins, not even his wife, children, and children knew about it, which shows how secretive it is.
Seeing Akins mention it, Soros shook his head and sighed: "I haven't seen him for a whole year. I only know that he has been here in Hong Kong since the year before last and works in a financial investment company."
"There don't seem to be any large-scale investment banks in Hong Kong. They are just regional branches of some investment companies." Akins said: "Young master Ling is so talented that he will not give in to local companies in Hong Kong, right? If it is
For other multinational investment firms, given his talent, he shouldn't stay in the regional branch."
"Oh, I don't know either." Soros got a headache when talking about his illegitimate son. Not only was his illegitimate son not inferior to him in financial talent, he also had exactly the same personality. He thought he had also rejected his father back then.
How about inheriting the family business and starting out on your own? They are all equally stubborn.
He said: "But from his perspective, even if that investment company is not well-known now, it definitely has extraordinary development potential. Otherwise, how could he stay there for a long time."
Akins tried: "Now we are about to launch an attack on Hong Kong's stock and foreign exchange markets. As a financial investment company, Mr. Ling's company will definitely be deeply affected. Do you want us to remind him? In case he..."
But Soros waved his hand: "No need, he chose the road himself. Since he chose this road, he should be responsible for his choice. I said that personal feelings should not be involved in business, otherwise it will be very difficult.
It's easy to do bad things. Besides, consider this an experience for him. Only by being able to fly into the wind in the heavy rain and row against the current in the waves can he survive in this financial market. Even my son, Soros, can't.
exception."
Although Soros spoke grandly, Akins knew in his heart that Soros probably deliberately frustrated his son. When he was beaten and desperation, he would naturally return to Soros. No matter what Soros did
It’s awesome, but he is still a father after all, and in the end he is inevitably vulgar.
"Huh? What's going on? Why don't you let us pass?"
At this moment, Soros and Akins heard a young male voice: "If you don't want to be disturbed, then just book the entire restaurant. Otherwise, you don't seem to have the right to stop us from spending money here."
Bar."
Soros looked around and saw a handsome and tall oriental boy arguing with his bodyguard sternly.
