Chapter 498
……

"Dear customers, please rest assured that Sun Hung Kai Bank has never over-lending, and has strong capital. For example, the half-year US$5000 million saved by Mr. Tang directly entered the Hong Kong dollar account, which gave Sun Hung Kai Bank an additional HK$4 million. The funds are sufficient to meet any withdrawal needs. In other words, Sun Hung Kai Bank will never be the second Hang Lung Bank.”

Aunt De watched Feng Jingxi's high-spirited appearance on TV, counted with her fingers, and then exclaimed: "It's a lot of money! I don't know what Mr. Tang thinks, the Hong Kong dollar has depreciated so much, and he even exchanged the U.S. dollar for Hong Kong dollar."

"The structure of the big shots is beyond the comprehension of ordinary people like us." Uncle De, who was in a relaxed mood, guessed with a smile, "Maybe the mainland and the UK have approached Mr. Tang and asked him to help stabilize the financial situation in Xiangjiang."

……

"Due to the time difference, it is very difficult for us to connect with Mr. Tang Huan on the spot. But after communicating in advance, Mr. Tang still agreed to spare time to cooperate with our work."

"Okay, the director signaled to me that the call has been connected."

"Mr. Tang? Hello, I am Julia, the host of Media Asia TV's financial column."

"Hi Julia, good work."

"Without your hard work, it would be already late at night in the United States."

"Yes. But it doesn't matter, I happen to have to deal with some work at hand."

"I didn't expect the world's richest man to work so hard." The host joked and then got down to the topic, "Mr. Tang, your support of Sun Hung Kai Bank does that mean you are going to enter the banking industry?"

"No, at least I don't have this idea in the near future. I learned a little about the outbreak of the banking crisis in Hong Kong and the sharp depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, and I thought that I could not let the situation get worse. Moreover, Mr. Feng and I were friends for many years, so I I just came to help. To be honest, Sun Hung Kai Bank's operating conditions are still very good, and it is worthy of me making a strategic investment." Tang Huan explained.

"Does Mr. Tang have any good suggestions for solving the current economic turmoil in Xiangjiang?"

"This issue is too complicated. I'm not a professional, so I don't want to make rash comments, so as not to mislead others. But I think that if the Hong Kong dollar crisis develops further, it will cause huge damage to Hong Kong's economy. Therefore, I will Express your attitude in your own name."

"Mr. Tang, can you explain in detail?"

"In my opinion, the recent sharp depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar is related to investors' pessimism about Hong Kong's economic situation, which led to a large amount of Hong Kong dollars being sold."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan emphasized his tone, "I have always maintained confidence in Xiangjiang, especially the Lion Mountain spirit of Xiangjiang people who face difficulties in adversity, work hard, and create miracles. I am even more impressed. To express my respect for With confidence in the Hong Kong dollar, I will deposit two more U.S. dollar payments into the Hong Kong dollar account of the partner of Hong Kong Bank in the near future.”

……

After finishing the interview, Tang Huan sighed, picked up the teacup and took a sip of strong tea.

In fact, it is not only Hang Lung Bank and Sun Hung Kai Bank that are in crisis. Overseas Trust Bank, Ka Wah Bank, Wing On Bank, Connian Bank, Union Bank and other Chinese-funded banks have similar problems, but they have not yet occurred That's all.

The intelligence of the Chinese is obvious to all, and this ability is especially evident in opportunism.

During the real estate boom, Chinese banks often adopt radical expansion strategies, opening their vaults to real estate developers and property speculators, and even in the absence of collateral, cash is quietly borrowed.

Moreover, the bank itself, as well as various shareholders, will also rack their brains to spend money to invest in real estate.

The resulting shortage of capital reserves and a severe decline in payment capacity is not surprising.

What kind of cause, what effect, the immediate crisis is the liquidation and revenge of Xiangjiang's loose financial policy, which is purely self-inflicted, and may also be mixed with off-site factors of political games for Xiangjiang's future negotiations.

Therefore, the water of the Hong Kong dollar crisis this time is not so deep. Even Tang Huan, a senior speculator, is a little afraid and plans to sit on the sidelines.

However, the hope from certain sources made Tang Huan feel embarrassed and refused.

This also corresponds to the bloody line - "The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility." There is no better causal relationship than this.

……

Gao Keyi, who was on a shift break, returned home and saw her mother counting around a large pile of daily necessities, and immediately exclaimed, "Did you bring the supermarket home?"

Aunt De snorted, "What do you, a girl who doesn't know the price of daily necessities, rice, oil and salt, understand! Buy more while the money is still valuable. Didn't you see that the shopping malls were going crazy? If it weren't for your future sister-in-law Jie Help me, I can't even buy these things."

"Oh, you guys are doing this, it makes me panic." Gao Keyi patted his heart, secretly wondering if he should go out and scan the goods too.

Mother and daughter were busy when Uncle De walked into the house happily.

Aunt De asked without looking up: "Did you withdraw the money from Sun Hung Kai Bank this time?"

"No." Uncle De shook the bag of washing powder in his hand, "The staff of Sun Hung Kai Bank advised me that as long as I keep putting the money with them, there will be regular welfare distribution. This big bag of washing powder That’s it.”

This time, Aunt De didn't get angry, but just hummed lightly, "Then let's store it in Sun Hung Kai Bank. The richest man in the world is so optimistic about Hong Kong dollars and has already deposited over [-] million U.S. dollars in Hong Kong dollar accounts. Let's save some time and follow Mr. Tang's calculations." gone."

"You two old people are tossing about!" Gao Keyi shook his head, turned around and went into the room to change clothes.

Not long after, Yang Yutang, the suitor, came to invite Gao Keyi to have dinner and watch a movie together.

When the two were about to go out, Uncle De told his daughter, "Keyi, if you watch "Senior Sister's Heroic Money Empire", remember to come back and tell me the plot. Many people said that after watching this movie, they will understand that now Why did the Hong Kong dollar depreciate?"

……

With this task in mind, Yang Yutang and Gao Keyi entered a theater in the DreamWorks Cinemas chain and directly chose "Senior Sister's Heroic Beauty: Empire of Money".

"Is the plot so magical?" Gao Keyi muttered curiously while eating popcorn.

"That's what the newspapers say." Yang Yutang nodded.

At the beginning of the movie, there is a scene of an underground banknote printing factory, with various advanced facilities, which makes people dizzying.

After appearing on the stage, Chu Yuan, who was addicted to playing the role of the big villain, asked on the phone when the template for the counterfeit dollar bill would be delivered. Heung Kong will build a fourth money empire after HSBC, Standard Chartered and Bank of China.”

Charlie Cao, who played the role of a dog-headed military adviser, smiled meanly: "HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Bank of China are nothing. Big brother, you trampled them under your feet without waving your hands."

"These two scoundrels are really a perfect match." Yang Yutang muttered to himself.

……

Although the producer of "Senior Sister Heroic: Money Empire" has repeatedly stated, "This story is purely fictitious, and any similarities are purely coincidental."

However, the major media are still tirelessly discussing the turmoil in the currency market in the environment created in the movie.

Many people have even called for the Hong Kong government to take proactive measures on the currency market. Otherwise, some of the plots in this movie are likely to become reality.

In this regard, the Hong Kong government couldn't help being a little depressed, and took the initiative to say: "We are not doing nothing. In order to save Hong Kong's financial system and stabilize people's hearts, we are already preparing new countermeasures."

On October 10, the Hong Kong government finally came up with its own research results. Financial Secretary Peng Lizhi promulgated the linked exchange rate system, that is, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar, and the exchange rate is set at 15 Hong Kong dollars to 7.8 U.S. dollar, and it officially started on October 1. operate.

In this process of transformation from chaos to order, the media suddenly discovered that the world's richest man, who called on everyone to have confidence in the Hong Kong dollar and took practical actions to buy Hong Kong dollars with the US dollars in his hands, actually made an extremely fair and honest profit. A small sum of money.

This is really kind and rewarding!
