Rebirth of the Tech Madman - Chapter 1017
…
The current situation is too complicated-if you do nothing, you may be scolded for being ruthless; if you do it well, you may be scolded and get a false name; if you do too well, it offends certain interest groups, and you may be scolded for nosy .
Therefore, the richest man does not want to be influenced by public opinion or even kidnapped, so he tries his best to keep a low profile, even if his own media such as Media Asia TV, Xiangcheng Radio, Ming Pao Group, Phoenix Satellite TV and other media do not accept interviews.
After meeting Zhuang Menghua, Meng Jing, etc., Tang Huan first confirmed one thing, “Peregrine and others are highly respected elites in the financial circle, especially Liang Botao, who helped Li Bancheng to raise funds for rights issues. They are related to each other. It can be said to be close-isn’t it possible to bring them to help at this moment of crisis?”
“You are not the only big boss here at Xiangjiang who is busy protecting his foundation-Qin He Yi Department.” Zhuang Menghua asked rhetorically, “You know Li Bancheng’s Changshi, Rong Zhijian’s CITIC, what is the current stock price? Huh?”
Tang Huan shrugged, “I am not interested in them, so how can I have time to pay attention?”
Little cousin Meng Jing took the words, “Tell you-the share price of Cheung Kong Holdings has fallen from 98 Hong Kong dollars to 28 Hong Kong dollars; CITIC Pacific’s share price has fallen from 53 Hong Kong dollars to 9 Hong Kong dollars.”
“What you mean is that these local Chinese businessmen in Xiangjiang are too busy to take care of themselves.” Tang Huan frowned, “What about internationally?”
“I found it too.” Zhuang Menghua nodded, “Last month Peregrine announced the introduction of Zurich Center Group as a strategic shareholder, and it will invest 200 million US dollars to subscribe – but the destructive power of the Asian financial turmoil is too serious. Fortune Group lost 1 billion Hong Kong dollars in stocks alone, so the other party retreated.”
“Speaking of which, there is little possibility that there is something tricky in it.” Tang Huan muttered, “Then you think, how do you think Peregrine should be taken?”
“Of course it is waiting for it to be liquidated.” Zhuang Menghua smiled slightly, “If you can’t wait, you can also coordinate with Peregrine’s shareholders and the SAR government to speed up the processing. The whole team should also be able to receive most of them.”
“It seems that New Year’s Day in 1998 will be spent in Xiangjiang.” Tang Huan sighed, “You have worked hard too-but let’s hurry up and act.”
…
Next, the richest man must meet with Chief Executive Dong Jianhua. And the other party asked with a wry smile in the first sentence: “I don’t know when this financial turmoil will be tossed before it will end?”
Tang Huan replied, “It’s hard to say—the international speculators are almost invincible. Naturally, they are very unwilling to Xiangjiang’s meal of raw rice in their eyes. In order to decide the victory or defeat, how can they continue to fight until the second half of the year? .”
Hearing this, Dong Jianhua’s expression became even more bitter. He was the first chief executive to be too unhappy. Originally, Xiangjiang had “a lot of things” in the small Yinfeng, but he also caught up with the unprecedented Asian financial turmoil.
The richest man joked: “Just look a little away. It’s a stab to stretch your head, and a stab to shrink your head-it’s just a fight!”
Dong Jianhua nodded in agreement, and in turn joked: “The dignified richest man, who came to Xiangjiang at a key point in this turbulent period, should he be dedicated to sending charcoal in the snow?”
Tang Huan said frankly: “I always have to be worthy of the Great Bauhinia Medal and do something within my power.”
After a moment of surprise, Dong Jianhua asked with joy, “Then, do you need any cooperation when you come to see me this time? Just mention it!”
“There is indeed something to trouble you.” The richest man nodded slightly, “Isn’t Peregrine already incurable? It just so happens that I need such a platform with abundant manpower, skilled operation, diligence and outside the system to operate. Blue-chip stocks in the Hang Seng Index are in such a downturn in order to stabilize the Hong Kong stock market as much as possible. I hope the SAR government can help one or two.”
With a clear mind, Dong Jianhua nodded immediately and said: “The SAR government will immediately appoint an independent committee to supervise the liquidation of Peregrine.”
…
With official assistance, the liquidation process of Peregrine has progressed much faster.
In addition to those shareholders, Tang Huan also deliberately communicated frankly with Peregrine employees including Liang Botao.
When the time came to mid-January of 1998, the context was basically clear-the liquidated Peregrine Investment was replaced by the new Tracker Investment. And its role is mainly to buy the blue chips of Xiangjiang rightfully.
As for the risks of doing so, of course there are, but referring to the success of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, which did the same in the original time and space, there is no need to worry too much.
The government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region is responsible for doing this. The richest man is a man with unparalleled benevolence and responsibility. He can not only wash away some speculative gains, but more importantly, he can also reap the rewards. The prestige in many respects, including the 6 million people of Xiangjiang, is worth it!
Of course, the richest man will not be so stupid to let himself completely replace the Hong Kong Monetary Authority-the other party is the absolute main force who is responsible for keeping the land and must not be lazy.
To this end, Tang Huan specially held meetings with his deputy Zeng Yinquan, the Financial Secretary of the Hong Kong Special Economic Zone, Ren Zhigang, President of the Monetary Authority, Xu Shiren, Director of the Treasury Bureau, and Chen Delin, Vice President of the Monetary Administration.
The focus of everyone’s discussion is mainly whether the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, which is doing its best to defend the linked exchange rate system of 7.8 Hong Kong dollars to 1 U.S. dollar, should open a second battlefield to enter the market.
The real world is a complex system that affects the whole body. Up to now, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has maintained the linked exchange rate system and its performance is commendable; but on the other hand, the high interest rate policy implemented has also seriously affected the situation. It hit Xiangjiang’s economy and attracted criticism.
The so-called “responsibility” is not so simple-a perfect solution is impossible to find, there are always places that cannot be taken care of, and in a public opinion environment like Xiangjiang where everyone can jump out and dictate, “pick up the bowl and eat meat,” The phenomenon of “putting down chopsticks and scolding mother” will only become more intense.
It can be said that in this extremely complicated situation, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, while defending the linked exchange rate system, dared not to allocate resources to enter the market, which not only tested the “knowledge” of the responsible persons present, but also their “guts”. .
To say a word of condemnation-in the end, even if the linked exchange rate system was not maintained, there were so many surrenders, including Siam and South Korea, as “examples”, and everyone present who “done their duty” can be calm. Face it; but if you enter the market with “one extra effort”, you won’t necessarily win much praise if you succeed. If you fail, it will be a complete stain.
Tang Huan said with a clear attitude: “This year’s offensive and defensive battle will only be more tragic. From the perspective of Xiangjiang’s open system, the offensive side will only find more breakthroughs from within Xiangjiang. To put it bluntly, use Xiangjiang’s money to fight. Hong Kong; the defensive side will become more and more passive-this is my original intention to inhale Hong Kong’s blue chips through the formation of Tracker Investment through the liquidation of Peregrine Investment.”
“My motives are not as noble as everyone here was when they were sworn in on July 1. I just don’t want the headquarters of Qinhe First Department to collapse like other attacked economies. Otherwise, the loss will be too great. .”
“Now that I have invested 1 billion U.S. dollars in Tracker Investment, it is a matter of fate. If the Hong Kong Monetary Authority decides to enter the market, I will increase at least 10 U.S. dollars in cooperation!”
Just when Zeng Yinquan and others frowned, thinking hard about the pros and cons, and steadily did not talk to him immediately, the assistant clutched his mobile phone and whispered a few words to Tang Huan.
The richest man nodded, looked around and said: “George Soros wants to use my mouth to declare war on you.”
Astonishment, surprise, nervousness… and so on, flashed across everyone’s face.
Tang Huan casually placed the black Fangyuan business phone on the notebook in front of him. After gently tapping a key, he said: “George, congratulations on defeating all your Asian opponents as you wish.”
The mobile phone microphone clearly conveyed George Soros’ spirited spirit at this time, “To be precise, it is still one Xiangjiang.”
The richest man laughed blankly, “As large as the Hong Kong stock index and futures index plummeting, as small as my Qinhe First Series, the stock price has fallen by at least two-thirds-what else do you want?”
“Is that why you entered the war?” George Soros’s tone was filled with excitement, “Tang, to have the opportunity to fight with you is something to look forward to.”
“You obviously want to add the world’s richest man to the list of countless finance ministers and central bank governors who are defeated!” Tang Huan laughed loudly, “However, you may be disappointed-I won’t stay here forever. In Xiangjiang, there is little chance that we will fight directly face to face.”
“Then I can only say a pity.” George Soros changed the front of the conversation: “Tang, you must have been in contact with the person in charge of the Xiangjiang Financial Management Institution recently-then please tell it on your behalf and maintain the Xiangjiang Linked Exchange Rate. The cost of the system is too high. The Hong Kong dollar is almost the most valuable Asian currency at present, and our attacks will only become more and more fierce.”
“As you wish, I will tell the truth.” The richest man handed his mobile phone to the assistant and said leisurely: “Do you see it? The other party’s news is very well-informed. I use the enemy’s dark and my bright to describe this kind of information asymmetry. It’s not enough.”
“This makes me suddenly think of the hacker community in the IT field. On the one hand, some hackers have turned into security experts after committing a terrifying case of invading major computer systems; on the other hand, some high-profile students who graduated from prestigious universities will become security experts. Under the instructions of the national intelligence agency, do some hacking activities that invade computer systems.”
“It’s difficult to distinguish black, white and white. In the final analysis, they all belong to a big circle that understands each other.”
“The situation is almost the same now-all the cards are on the open, no one can hide from anyone; how to play the cards can be roughly guessed; it is nothing more than different opinions about the trend of the cards.”
“My idea is very simple-get rid of those dazzling things, bet that Xiangjiang, as a window to the mainland, will not be shaken as an international financial center; bet on Xiangjiang’s US$90 billion foreign exchange reserves and mainland China’s US$140 billion foreign exchange. Reserves have sufficient deterrence; betting that the offensive side will retreat from exhaustion over time.”
Ren Zhigang raised his hand and said in a deep voice, “I think it’s very worthwhile to enter the market.”
Chen Delin raised his hand, followed by Xu Shiren…
Zeng Yinquan sighed, and finally raised his hand, “Then work together and fight for the last time.”
…
When the richest man is busy dealing with these serious matters, he will occasionally be harassed to make him laugh or cry.
For example, Guan Meiren complained: “Brother Huan, I lost a lot of money for the several 1,000-square-foot mansions I bought as an investment.”
“Isn’t it just a big place with a fart of more than 100 square meters? What kind of nagging.” Tang Huan rebuffed: “Don’t be entangled, just put it in your hand honestly, wait for the market to improve, and then make a move. “
It has to be said that Guan Meiren’s experience is very representative, especially many celebrities in the Xiangjiang entertainment circle, who have been miserable by this Asian financial turmoil.
The upper class must be too lazy to care about this kind of “civil suffering”-who makes you want to make a fortune, then you have to accept the gambling; besides, you lose all your money and just work hard again!
…
Because there is still an anti-monopoly case in the United States, it is impossible for the richest man to stay in Xiangjiang any longer~www.mtlnovel.com~ Seeing that he has sorted out his clues, he will hand it over to his subordinates. Implementation, he returns to the main battlefield.
On the way to the airport, Tang Huan remembered something, so he turned on Fangyuan’s laptop and checked a copy of the email.
Seeing that Tang Huan used a spreadsheet to create a bar graph of a set of data, the little cousin Meng Jing who came to see him off asked curiously: “Brother, what graph did you make that you made it red?”
“This is the statistics of the number of incidents in Java over the years.” The richest man pointed to the screen and explained lightly: “This is 1994-5 cases occurred; 1995-16 cases occurred, 1996- 27 incidents happened…”
Meng Jing put away her smile, and fell silent in the car.
…
When Tang Huan returned to Cupertino, it was late, but he was very worried and decided to go to the office to review some documents as soon as possible.
As a result, when the richest man got out of the car and looked into the distance inadvertently, he found that several people were arguing and shoving around the trash can.
The peachy secrets of US President Bill Clinton just happened. Tang Huan, who knew how big the chaos would be, tightened his nerves. The scene before him makes him feel unusual instinctively.
The bodyguard who was instructed immediately surrounded him silently.
Unexpectedly, those guys are quite high in “quality”, and when they see the situation is bad, they will run away.
It took a long time for the bodyguards to subdue them.
“Boss, these people have already confessed that they are private investigators.” While reporting, the bodyguard handed over a few documents that were not completely processed by the shredder. “This is what they were fighting for.”
The richest man rolled his eyes and squeezed out coldly, “Too much deception!”
