"Xiao Hao? Why are you here? Will something happen again?" Zeng Yingquan and Yam Zhikang were discussing countermeasures for the precarious situation outside, and they, the real senior leaders of Hong Kong's economic circles, were having a meeting. Of course, outside
It was heavily guarded, and Zhou Hao needed his permission before he came to visit before the security personnel would let him in.
But Zeng Yingquan's first reaction when he saw Zhou Hao was that Zhou Hao had caused some trouble again.
When Zhou Hao heard that this was the first thing Zeng Yingquan said to him, he had a helpless smile on his face. Who knew that almost every time he came to Zeng Yingquan, it would not be a good thing. He shrugged and looked at the spacious room.
Looking around the conference room, I also saw the heads and heads who dominate Hong Kong's macroeconomics.
The Financial Secretary, the Monetary Authority and the Financial Services Bureau are the departments in charge of the financial economy in Hong Kong, while HSBC, Hang Seng, Standard Chartered and Bank of China are the four most powerful banks in Hong Kong, controlling most of Hong Kong's liquid funds and credit funds.
The combination of these departments forms the main structure of Hong Kong's financial economy. As for other enterprises or listed companies, they all branch out and develop based on this structure.
Zeng Yingquan and Zhou Hao were old acquaintances, but Ren Zhikang, Xu Shiren and the presidents and directors of the four major banks did not recognize this young boy. They were also puzzled that Zeng Yingquan let others come in and interrupt their meeting at this critical moment.
, so they all cast doubtful glances at Zhou Hao.
"Uh, everyone, this is Zhou Hao, one of my nephews." Zeng Yingquan introduced Zhou Hao to everyone with a wry smile: "Maybe some of you have heard of his name, haha, he is that Zhou Hao."
In addition to the Director of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Yam Chi-kang, the Director of the Financial Services Bureau, Hui Sze-yan, and the presidents and directors of the four major banks all looked at Zhou Hao in surprise. After all, in the top circles of Hong Kong, the name Zhou Hao is really not a family name.
The reason is unknown, and the reason lies in the He Xu family. Especially at He Hongsen’s birthday banquet, the scene of Zhou Hao and He Xueyun attending together was seen by many invited guests, and now He Xueyun also happened to be at Zhou Hao’s birthday banquet.
around.
Although they didn't know Zhou Hao's background, they all knew to some extent that Zhou Hao was the person who caused the previous turmoil between the He family and the Xu family. The protagonist of He Xueyun's extramarital affair that was so hyped by the media was probably the world in front of them, Zeng Yingquan.
Nephew.
"Hello, everyone." When he met the curious or arrogant eyes of these people at the top of the economic field, Zhou Hao just said hello to them with a calm smile.
"Xiao Hao, you know what happened in the Hong Kong market today, right?" Zeng Yingquan said with a solemn face: "We are discussing countermeasures because of this matter, because the stock market has dropped more than a hundred points, and the situation is very serious."
Zeng Yingquan's subtext was that he now had no time or energy to deal with the trouble caused by Zhou Hao.
Zhou Hao really didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but it was also his fault that he did cause a lot of trouble. He just heard him say: "Uncle Quan, I came here just for today's incident."
"Oh?" Zeng Yingquan was also surprised, because even he only knew that Zhou Hao had a close relationship with the domestic "Polaris" and "Tianhe" and was able to make important decisions on Asia Television, but he had no idea that Zhou Hao's subordinates also had
There is a deeply hidden "Galaxy".
Zhou Hao was not polite and sat in the last seat opposite Zeng Yingquan, saying: "The international speculative group headed by Soros's Quantum Fund and Julian's Tiger Fund have probably sold tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars from this morning to now.
Bar."
"Huh?" This time, not only Zeng Yingquan, but also Ren Zhikang, Xu Shiren and the people from the four major banks couldn't help but look at Zhou Hao in surprise. Because of these data, there is news from the outside that even the top ten financial groups in Hong Kong, big
Some of the information obtained still stops at the figure of five billion.
The international speculative group sold nearly 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, but they still responded to the data they had just obtained and deliberately blocked the news in order to suppress panic in the market. It would not be released until at least half an hour later.
Zhou Hao's intelligence was actually able to keep pace with theirs, and just because he knew that there were Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund in the other camp, the power he had in the financial market should not be underestimated.
Zeng Yingquan was a little stunned: "Xiaohao, how did you know this news?"
"The news channels are similar to yours." Zhou Hao said: "And now is not the time to care about this. What I want to know is what do you plan to do? After all, the other party's selling actions have not shown signs of slowing down or stopping. In my estimation,
, today alone, the Hong Kong dollars they sold will reach 20 billion."
The look on Zeng Yingquan's face was somewhat responsible. They all now knew that the opponent's attack was obviously no longer a test, but a real war. However, after all, this was a matter related to the entire Hong Kong economy, and it was not something that could be done rashly based on guesswork.
If investors, Quantum Fund and Tiger Fund really want to go to war against Hong Kong, then the funds they have raised will definitely be huge.
Even Tsang Ying-quan is not sure whether Hong Kong can or is ready to cope with this battle based on its economic strength.
Yam Chi-kang said: "George Soros and Julian Robertson should just want to make a fortune by fishing in the troubled waters of our Hong Kong market as they did before. As long as we increase their speculation costs, they will naturally retreat.
Yes. We plan to use interest rates and raise interest rates to fight against them. I believe they will retreat soon."
But Zhou Hao shook his head: "This trick no longer works, because this time they are not just messing around and leaving, but really want to bring down Hong Kong's economy. So, no matter how you raise interest rates, they will
They won't back down, and they even want you to put more effort into raising interest rates."
Zhou Hao thought to himself, no wonder people outside asked the director of the Financial Management Bureau to do "any trick". Facing Soros and his group's offensive, he really only used the trick of raising interest rates.
Although Ren Zhikang is not the kind of person who listens to others, he has been the top leader of the Financial Management Bureau for a long time. Those tycoons and wealthy people have not treated him with respect and courtesy, and they have never tried to let such a young boy
Oppose your own opinions in public.
At that moment, the look on his face darkened, and he said calmly: "We have no way to be sure whether Soros and the others really want to go to war with Hong Kong, so how can you be sure? What if they are not? The losses caused by this will be caused by
Who will bear it?"
"Even if the other party really just makes a profit and leaves as you said, the side effects of interest rates and raising interest rates are too great. I think you all know how much this kind of measures will impact the stock and foreign exchange markets." Zhou Hao said.
: "Besides, if they come to Hong Kong to rob them if they like, don't you know how Hong Kong's status in the international market will be affected?"
Xu Shiren, who was next to Ren Zhikang, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Kid, I think you are also majoring in economics. Although the theory of economics is very important, different measures must be used in different situations. Director Ren came from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority
He has been in charge of management since its establishment. Until now, his experience is very rich, and his suggestions are also more suitable solutions for the current situation.
If you don’t understand the situation, the decision you make is very irrational and irresponsible.”
Zhou Hao squinted his eyes and looked at Xu Shiren, the director of the Financial Affairs Bureau. Although Xu Shiren had a kind smile and the image of a kind elder, his words were hidden in words. In fact, he was secretly scolding Zhou Hao for making random comments without understanding the situation.
Irrational and irresponsible.
He Xueyun frowned. These senior officials obviously looked down on the young Zhou Hao. Just when she was about to speak to defend Zhou Hao, she saw Zhou Hao raised his hand and swallowed the words that were on his lips. However, she was very interested in Ren Zhikang and Ren Zhikang.
Xu Shiren's impression was much worse.
"Xiao Hao, based on what you saw, what do you think we should do?" Zeng Yingquan ignored the cynicism of Ren Zhikang and Zhou Hao and looked at Zhou Hao seriously, because he knew that Zhou Hao's abilities and talents were by no means superficial.
It seems so simple.
Zhou Hao smiled slightly: "It's actually very simple. We will take as much as they sell."
Having said this, he looked at the people from the four major banks and said slowly: "I believe you know how many Hong Kong dollars the four major banks have lent to each other before. Although that is also a normal financial behavior, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar
And once interest rates fluctuate, how much loss will you suffer?"
Hearing Zhou Hao's words, the presidents or directors of those banks changed their expressions, because if Soros and others want to short-sell the Hong Kong dollar, they must lend them a large amount of Hong Kong dollars in advance, and the most important "supply of these ammunitions" is to them.
"Business" refers to the four major banks in Hong Kong. Earlier, the four major banks did not observe
Sensing the motives of Soros and others, they didn’t know they were afraid until the war broke out. So today, as soon as Zeng Yingquan came to see them, they rushed over for a meeting. The purpose was to try their best to cooperate with the actions of the Hong Kong government, while preserving Hong Kong’s economy.
Minimize losses to your own bank.
Zhou Hao added: "After we buy those Hong Kong dollars, we will put them back into your banking system to loosen your money and ease the continued surge in interbank interest rates. In this way, we can more effectively maintain the stability of the Hong Kong dollar and interest rates.
