The flowers in the factory of rebirth are too fierce

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the market closed.

The Hang Seng Index on the computer screen has stopped, but no one in the operation room moved. They all sat quietly in their seats.

After a thrilling day, the highly nervous traders are now too tired to talk.

Compared with the joyful celebration scene outside, it was really quiet and scary here.

Unless you experience it yourself, you will never know how stressful it is.

Some traders lay on their computer desks and sobbed softly.

Zheng Gang walked in from outside, his eye circles were also red, and his voice was choked with sobs.

"Thank you all, thank you for your hard work for so many days. We originally wanted to have a celebration party, but Director Zeng said that everyone must be eager to go home after being closed for so many days, so we decided to wait for a few days. We have a celebration banquet, everyone can go back now." Zheng Gang faced everyone and bowed at a ninety-degree angle.

There was no applause. The traders stood up one by one and walked out of the room numbly. They lined up to get their mobile phones back, then returned to their respective rooms, packed their luggage, took the bus arranged by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and left the hotel.

Starting from the beginning of August, the best traders in Hong Kong Island have been gathered here. In order to keep it secret, everyone's communication tools must be turned over, even Li Xiaoning and Lin Zhiyuan are no exception.

This is why Louisa cannot contact Lin Zhiyuan.

Half an hour later, the hotel was empty. All the local traders on Hong Kong Island had gone home, leaving only a few financial experts from the mainland.

"Professor Li, Mr. Lin, let's go to the restaurant to have some drinks to celebrate." Zheng Gang took the initiative.

Li Xiaoning, who looked tired, shook his head, "Director Zheng, forget it, you haven't been home for a long time. Go back and spend time with your family! I'll drink later. I'm tired too. I just want to go back now." Have a good sleep."

Professor Li is also in his sixties. Since August, he has been holding meetings all day long to study countermeasures, and he is already exhausted physically and mentally.

When Zheng Gang saw Li Xiaoning in this state, he was no longer polite. He and Lin Zhiyuan personally sent Li Xiaoning back to the room, then said goodbye and went home.

Lin Zhiyuan settled Li Xiaoning, left the hotel alone, and took a taxi.

"Boss, where are you going?" The driver looked very happy. He also learned from the radio that Hong Kong Island defeated the financial giants today.

"Where is the livelier place on Hong Kong Island? I want to go shopping." For some reason, Lin Zhiyuan now particularly thinks of places with many people.

"Temple Street, of course."

Hearing the word Temple Street, Lin Zhiyuan's mind immediately flashed through countless Hong Kong police and gangster movies, as well as scenes of Zhou Xingxing eating chop suey noodles in Temple Street.

"Okay, let's go to Temple Street."

******

Temple Street is located in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon and is the most famous night market on Hong Kong Island.

Lin Zhiyuan paid to get out of the car and looked into the distance.

Damn it, isn’t this a bigger gossip market?

There are stalls on both sides of the road, with various hawking sounds happening one after another. The products on sale are all kinds of goods, including women's stockings, men's belts, various second-hand mobile phones, and various fake watches... No need to ask, they are all cheap goods.

Lin Zhiyuan walked around but didn't buy anything. When he wandered to the area selling snacks, he finally stopped. The aromas of various foods mixed together and hit your nose.

This is the fireworks in the world!

Lin Zhiyuan, who had been under high pressure for nearly a month, finally relaxed when he saw these street stall snacks.

"Boss, give me two skewers of fish balls."

"Boss, bring me some offal."

Lin Zhiyuan took a bite from the East, a bite from the West, and finally ordered a bowl of the legendary chop suey noodles.

When his stomach was filled with hot food, Lin Zhiyuan felt that he was back in the world.

When the last mouthful of noodle soup was in his stomach, his cell phone rang.

Lin Zhiyuan glanced at the screen and smiled knowingly. The number came from Citigroup on the other side of the ocean.

"Hey, Mr. Slosso!"

"Lin, you finally turned on your phone. I've been looking for you for almost a month."

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Slosso. Due to some special reasons, my mobile phone has not been with me during this period."

"Lin, you have worked really hard to defeat me."

"It's really not true. I'm just a spectator. You also know my professional level. I can say a few words about irresponsibility, but when it comes to specific operations, I am really incompetent."

"Lin, congratulations, you won. I will keep my promise and never harass you again."

"Mr. Slosso, there is no winner in this financial war." Lin Zhiyuan emphasized on "no".

Slosso was silent.

In today's financial defense battle on Hong Kong Island, Slosso personally lost US$800 million, and his Atomic Fund suffered a loss of US$5 billion. Tiger Fund, which acted with him, even directly announced the closure of the fund two years later in March. International hot money suffered huge losses.

港岛虽然赢得了金融战的胜利，但也付出了惨痛的代价。1997年10月到1998年8月，不到一年时间，港岛恒生指数从17000点暴跌至6600点。

The exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar in Hong Kong Island fell sharply. At the same time, the property market in Hong Kong Island suffered a heavy blow, returning to the level of 10 years ago. The total market value of HK$2.2 trillion has disappeared.

In this economic downturn, many property speculators have turned into negative equity overnight. Unable to accept bankruptcy, they have chosen to commit suicide by jumping off buildings.

According to official statistics, there were 17 people on Hong Kong Island who were in negative equity at that time, and each person owed an average of HK$267 million. As a result, many companies closed down or laid off employees, causing the unemployment rate on Hong Kong Island to reach its highest peak in the past 20 years.

In order to rescue the stock market, the Hong Kong Island government spent more than 1000 billion Hong Kong dollars to acquire a large number of stocks sold by speculators. After the crisis, the Hong Kong Island government became the major shareholder of many companies. It took nearly ten years to acquire all the stocks in its hands. Stocks sold out.

"Lin, do you know? I have had that thought more than once..."

Does Lin Zhiyuan know what Slosso is talking about?

"Then I want to thank Mr. Slosso for showing mercy to me." Lin Zhiyuan laughed.

"Actually, in the final analysis, I underestimated the enemy." Slosso sighed, "Also, my bad luck, the damn furry bear, cost me 30 billion."

"No, Mr. Slosso, the result will be the same with or without me. At the same time, even if you did not lose money in Mao Xiong, it will not have any impact on the final result. Your biggest mistake is that you picked the wrong target. You did not estimate the protection of the Chinese government." Hong Kong Island’s determination, you regard a big country as your enemy, which in itself is an extremely wrong act.”

Slosso was silent for a while, "Lin, maybe what you said makes sense, but I will not give up. You can tell the officials of the Hong Kong Island government not to make mistakes. Once I catch you, I will do it again." Coming back."

Slosso hung up the phone, and Lin Zhiyuan suddenly felt like he had an appetite again, so he ordered another claypot rice and a cup of stockings milk tea...
