After listening to Zhou Hao's words, although most people present still looked down upon Zhou Hao because of his age, they could not deny that what Zhou Hao said was very reasonable. Due to previous wrong decisions, the four major banks' money was tight and they were facing sudden changes.
The ability to respond to emergencies has also been greatly reduced, which has indirectly caused the fragility of Hong Kong's banking system.
Zeng Yingquan nodded and said: "What Xiaohao said is true. If we buy back the Hong Kong dollars and deposit them in your bank to act as banknotes, we will not suffer any loss. On the contrary, if we ignore the other party's malicious move to sell Hong Kong dollars, we in Hong Kong will
There may be a cascading collapse of financial markets."
"But Director Zeng, that's tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars." Xu Shiren frowned: "Although it's not yet certain whether Soros and the others really want to go to war with us, it's always right to prepare enough power.
Yes, but if we want to eat the sold Hong Kong dollars, our government will have a lot less funds."
Zhou Hao leaned on his chair and smiled lightly: "Buying back Hong Kong dollars and putting them into the banking system is just saving the funds in another way. What's so scary? Besides, Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves are now the world's largest.
Third, if there is any emergency, wouldn’t there be barriers like the Exchange Fund and the Land Fund to protect it?”
Ren Zhikang immediately slammed the table and glared at Zhou Hao: "Exchange Fund and Land Fund? Do you know what that means to Hong Kong? That is the foundation of our Hong Kong! Without this foundation, Hong Kong's economy will
It will collapse immediately, how dare you try to attack our foundation?"
Zhou Hao spread his hands and said: "Director Ren, please calm down. I never said I wanted to attack them. I just said that with the backing of the Exchange Fund and the Land Fund, Hong Kong will not be defeated so easily."
Ren Zhikang's expression softened a little, but he still waved his hand and said: "I don't care what you want to do. In short, if you dare to covet our Hong Kong Exchange Fund and Land Fund, I, Ren Zhikang, will not let you go."
Zeng Yingquan glanced at Ren Zhikang lightly: "Zhikang, don't be angry, I know Xiaohao is not that kind of person."
Meeting Zeng Yingquan's eyes, Ren Zhikang was shocked. Although Zeng Yingquan, the Financial Secretary, is usually tepid and gentle to everyone, his methods are no worse than those of any official.
That kind of tepidness is the real killing without blood. It often makes people completely defeated without knowing it, just like the "frog boiled in warm water". By the time it is discovered, there is no way to escape.
Zeng Yingquan usually calls Ren Zhikang Director Ren in public. Now he calls him by his first name. Although it sounds a lot closer, Ren Zhikang knows that Zeng Yingquan is a little dissatisfied with him, so he quickly restrains himself.
Let’s talk about it again. After all, the Monetary Authority is directly under the management of Zeng Yingquan. Although Ren Zhikang is a god worshiped by everyone in Hong Kong’s financial industry, he is like a monkey. No matter how hard he tries, he can never escape the grasp of Tathagata Zeng Yingquan.
of.
When Xu Shiren next to him saw that Ren Zhikang had ceased his activities, he immediately fell silent and swallowed what he said.
I also saw Zeng Yingquan asking people from the four major banks: "I wonder what your opinions are?"
The Hong Kong dollars eaten will be put into their banking system as money, which is beneficial and harmless to the banks. Of course, the people from the four major banks will not object, and they followed suit and said: "We all listen to your decision, Director Zeng."
Zeng Yingquan nodded and looked at Zhou Hao: "Xiao Hao, how much do you think we should eat?"
Zhou Hao turned to look at He Xueyun, and He Xueyun, who had been paying attention to the news fed back by the pager, said: "More than 13 billion Hong Kong dollars have been sold now, and it is estimated that the total number of Hong Kong dollars sold today will exceed 20 billion.
"
After hearing what Xueyun said, everyone present was shocked, especially the people from the four major banks. They quickly took out their phones to inquire about the news from outside, and the reply they received was exactly what Xueyun said. In less than half an hour,
, another three to four billion Hong Kong dollars were thrown out, which shows the ferocity of the other party.
At this time, Zhou Hao also said to Zeng Yingquan: "We will eat as much as the other party throws."
Zeng Yingquan squinted his eyes and thought for a moment, then told the assistant next to him: "Go tell the people below to buy as many Hong Kong dollars as they can sell in the market. Now more than 10 billion Hong Kong dollars have been sold.
"The exchange rate of our Hong Kong dollar will definitely be affected, so we will use US dollars to buy back the Hong Kong dollar, and we must keep the interest rate and exchange rate stable."
The assistant nodded and immediately went out to implement Zeng Yingquan's ideas.
At this time, Ren Zhikang said again: "Director Zeng, then should we raise the interest rate and adopt a two-pronged approach?"
But Zeng Yingquan shook his head: "No need, Xiao Hao was right just now. Blindly raising interest rates is just a temporary solution, not the root cause. This move will have a huge impact on the stock and property markets. Of course, the other party's speculation costs will increase."
However, our losses are also heavy, and in the end I am afraid it will end in a lose-lose outcome. Moreover, if we blindly take the defensive, others will think that we are easy to bully."
"Okay." Although Ren Zhikang's face was calm, his brows were a little gloomy.
If all these decisions were made by Zeng Yingquan himself, then Ren Zhikang wouldn't have any ideas. It's just that Zhou Hao, an "outsider", intervened in these decisions. Just now Zhou Hao openly denied Ren Zhikang's decision.
This made Ren Zhikang feel a little confused.
Zhou Hao's observer, Ren Zhikang, has an accurate guess about his thoughts, but now he has no time to pay attention to Ren Zhikang's mood. The current situation can be said to be a "national crisis". If he Ren Zhikang
If you act based on your own personal likes and dislikes, it's not just as simple as being a dull official.
The purpose of coming here has been achieved, and Zhou Hao no longer wants to stay here and make those guys hate him. He nodded to Zeng Yingquan and said with a smile: "Director Zeng, we have other things to do, so we won't disturb you anymore."
He did not call Zeng Yingquan "Uncle Quan", firstly because this was outside, and secondly, to protect Zeng Yingquan, because Ren Zhikang and the others saw that Zeng Yingquan's decision just now was made because of him, and if they knew that he
If they had a close relationship with Zeng Yingquan, they would probably secretly criticize Zeng Yingquan for taking advantage of the public service for personal gain. Although both Zhou Hao and Zeng Ying had a clear conscience, they are terrible people and this kind of trouble can be avoided if they can.
Zeng Yingquan gave Zhou Hao a somewhat complicated look. Although the political atmosphere in Hong Kong is much more open than that in China, as long as there are people, the struggle for power and profit is unavoidable. To gain a foothold in it, it is impossible without sufficient means, so Zeng Yingquan is right
He has a very thorough understanding of human nature, so he can naturally see Zhou Hao's intention to protect him.
However, Zhou Hao's sudden strength in the financial market caught Zeng Yingquan a little off guard, as if a child at home had created a world outside but kept it from the elders at home. Zeng Yingquan had already figured it out.
Zhou Hao regards Zhou Hao as a member of his own family. It is no wonder that Zhou Hao is so popular. Not to mention Zeng Yingquan and Zeng Yingpei, even Mr. Zhao often tells others that Zhou Hao is more considerate to him than Zhao Dingzhou's biological son.
It’s endlessly delicious.
Pulling his thoughts back and looking at Zhou Hao and He Xueyun beside him, Zeng Yingquan smiled bitterly in his heart. Unknowingly, he regarded Zhou Hao as his nephew. This kid is really awesome. He smiled and said: "Then you go first
Go and get busy, and let me know immediately if you have any news."
"Yeah." Zhou Hao nodded and left the conference room with He Xueyun.
As soon as Zhou Hao and He Xueyun left the conference room, Xu Shiren said to Zeng Yingquan: "Director Zeng, this Zhou Hao here is deliberately trying to get our government to absorb those Hong Kong dollars. Isn't it because he also got involved and wanted to fish in troubled waters?
"
Ren Zhikang immediately glared at Xu Shiren, and Xu Shiren immediately screamed in his heart after saying this, because he remembered that Zeng Yingquan had just introduced Zhou Hao to them as his nephew, saying that Zhou Hao was fishing in troubled waters, wasn't it?
Did you drag Zeng Yingquan into the water as well?
There was no anger on Zeng Yingquan's face, he just said lightly: "Not to mention that the suggestions Zhou Hao gave us will not do us any great harm, even if he really got involved and wanted to use the power of our government to seek help for him.
After all, interests are in the same boat as our government. It is a situation where everyone is prosperous and everyone suffers. It is better than those wild wolves who secretly get along with Soros or Julian and want to take advantage of the interests of their motherland.
The beast is much better."
Although Zeng Yingquan said these words lightly, everyone present couldn't help but sit up straight because they could all feel the hatred radiating from Zeng Ying's body.
Zeng Yingquan waved his hand: "Let's not talk about these digressions. Everyone, you must pay close attention to the disturbances in the financial market. We will buy as much Hong Kong dollars as Soros and others sell. According to Zhou Hao's speculation, Soros and others must have bought a lot of money.
Short contracts, and now they are suppressing our stock and foreign exchange markets, not only to make a profit, but also to prepare for the next battle and weaken our ability to resist to the maximum extent."
Hearing Zeng Yingquan finally say the sensitive word "battle", Ren Zhikang was horrified: "Director Zeng, you, you mean Soros and the others are really going to start a war against us?"
"It's already obvious." Zeng Yingquan sighed.
Ren Zhikang was also surprised. Because of Zhou Hao's "intrusion" in the middle of this meeting, the tone of the relationship between the Hong Kong government and Soros was finally set. This meeting has undoubtedly become a very symbolic "round table meeting"
