Rebirth in 1985

Chapter 688: Battle of Hong Kong

The situation in the Hong Kong stock market gradually became chaotic, with a large amount of funds pouring in. All of this did not escape the eyes of Li Yunqing and his team. They had already made arrangements in advance and were just waiting for Soros and his team to take action.

In fact, when Lu Shaohua decided to stop Soros and his men, Li Yunqing and his men had already woven a huge net, waiting for Soros and his men to arrive, and then slowly shrink the net to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Of course, in the early stages of the layout, neither Lu Shaohua nor Li Yunqing were sure whether Soros and his men would come. They only knew some of their movements and did not dare to be too sure. But now they are finally sure, because Soros and his men have definitely arrived and dived into the woven big net.

Since this was the case, Lu Shaohua did not bother to be polite with them. He asked Li Yunqing and others to close the net and wait for Soros and others who were trapped inside the net to take action before launching a large-scale blocking attack.

By August, Soros and his colleagues finally took action and launched a fierce attack on the Hang Seng Index and the Hong Kong dollar. However, when they began their attack, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government also took action, mobilizing foreign exchange reserves to fight back and stabilize the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar.

Not to mention the stock market, Li Yunqing and his team had already made arrangements. They had a large amount of funds, held a large number of Hong Kong stocks, and controlled Phoenix Bank. They were in a completely dominant position and their counterattack was very fierce.

But Soros is Soros after all. Lu Shaohua admires his unyielding character very much. When they were in a stalemate, they did not retreat in time, but chose to maintain the status quo and continued to attack Hong Kong, trying to make a last-ditch effort.

"Super ATM..."

This phrase was circulated among Soros and his group. They regarded Hong Kong as a "super ATM". However, dreams are beautiful and reality is always cruel. When Soros and his group wanted to make a last-ditch effort and tried to break through Hong Kong's defenses, they fell deeper and deeper into the trap and finally became unable to extricate themselves.

In the meantime, Li Yunqing and his colleagues made good use of a tactic from Sun Tzu's Art of War - the tactic of luring the troops. When the Hang Seng Index was attacked, it showed a downward trend, but the extent of the decline felt strange. It fell little by little, not very quickly.

The Hang Seng Index fell, but the decline was not large. This was a problem in itself, because Soros and his team's offensive was strong. Logically, the Hang Seng Index should have fallen sharply, but the result was just the opposite.

This is the cleverness of Li Yunqing and his team. When Soros and his team's attack arrived, Liu Mingzhang made a statement on behalf of the Phoenix Group that the Phoenix Group would intervene in the stock market to save the Hong Kong stock market.

When this statement was released, the whole of Hong Kong was in an uproar, but did Phoenix Group really intervene in the stock market? The answer is yes, but Phoenix Group's intervention was not to protect the Hong Kong stock market, but to lay a bigger plan to cover Soros and others.

The last time Hong Kong was attacked, Phoenix Group finally turned the tide. This is something that everyone in Hong Kong knows. This time, Phoenix Group has issued a statement again. What does this mean? It is something that everyone in Hong Kong knows. It means that Hong Kong will be fine.

Therefore, a large number of investors supported the Hang Seng Index, which blocked part of the offensive of Soros and others and created a false impression.

That's right, it's all an illusion. The fact is, Phoenix Group's funds did not intervene to defend Hong Kong, but deliberately let Hong Kong investors resist the attack of Soros and others. Li Yunqing and others intervened to lay the groundwork, waiting for the right time to give Soros and others the final blow.

This led to the current situation, with the Hang Seng Index falling slowly. To Soros and his team, this meant that Phoenix Group did not have enough funds to stop their attack, which was why Soros insisted.

The last time, Phoenix Group mobilized so much money to save Hong Kong, which was incredible. Now, Phoenix Group has jumped out again, but the situation this time is different from the last time. Last time it directly changed the situation, but now it can only prevent the decline from happening too much.

No one knows how powerful the Phoenix Group is. Outsiders only know that the Phoenix Group is a group company with a market value of US$200 billion. However, last time it took out more than US$40 billion to save Hong Kong, which was beyond the expectations of outsiders.

But now, it did not directly rewrite the situation like last time. There are many twists and turns in it, which Soros could not guess, and finally attributed to the lack of funds of Phoenix Group. The reason is also very simple. So much money has been spent last time, and Phoenix Group will definitely not be able to withdraw too much funds.

A strategy of luring troops and setting off so many smoke bombs, finally, Li Yunqing and his team succeeded. They succeeded in confusing Soros' eyes, luring them into the woven big net, and making them fall into the quagmire completely.

By mid-August, Hong Kong had been under siege for a long time and Soros had discovered that something was wrong. He was thinking about evacuating, but before they could take any action, Phoenix Group once again issued a statement.

“Phoenix Group will challenge international speculators and prepare to fight back.”

It was a simple statement, but it sounded the battle cry.

Now Soros and his men panicked. They realized they had fallen into a trap, but by this time it was too late to retreat.

The huge network has shrunk, and it has truly blocked and besieged Soros and his funds, causing their funds entering the Hong Kong stock market to continue to shrink.

Both Lu Shaohua and Li Yunqing knew very well that no matter how well the giant net was woven, it was impossible to wipe out Soros and his gang. There would definitely be some fish that slipped through the net. After all, each of the international speculators headed by Soros was not a simple person, and they had plenty of ways to evacuate Hong Kong.

But even so, 30% to 40% of the funds they invested were wiped out, and only a little more than half of the funds were withdrawn. It was a real failure.

Hundreds of billions of dollars of funds flowed into the Hong Kong financial market, but the final result was this. Not only did they not make any money, but they also left nearly 20 billion dollars in funds in Hong Kong. It has to be said that it is a shame.

Obviously, Li Yunqing and his team, who represented the Phoenix Group, achieved the final victory and taught a severe lesson to the gang headed by Soros. This was truly gratifying, and Liu Mingzhang was even more delighted.

This is not the first time that Liu Mingzhang has fought against Soros. Although Li Yunqing is the commander-in-chief this time, Liu Mingzhang is also involved in it and has a high status as one of the three giants.

Therefore, when the battle was decided, Liu Mingzhang was also full of joy. After all, he also occupied a position, and he contributed to the victory, which was equivalent to his victory over Soros and others.

As a winner twice, Liu Mingzhang did have something to be proud of. How could he not be ecstatic?

Soros became famous as early as the Japanese stock market crash in 1989. He is well-known internationally and notorious in Asia. He is the object of hatred in many Asian countries. It is a shame that he has fallen to this point.

As the commander-in-chief, Li Yunqing defeated Soros. He also had moments of pride. It added a profound chapter to the glorious history of his life and gave him more capital to show off. Even if his character was very calm, he couldn't help showing his joy.

As for Li Zongen, he is much more low-key. Even if he is happy, he will only keep it in his heart, because Li Zongen knows very well that these glorious deeds cannot be publicized. After all, he was destined to hide in the dark from the beginning, so it is impossible to expose them.

However, no matter how proud Li Yunqing and the other three were of themselves, how happy they were, and how excited they were, they could not forget one thing, that is, the one who truly defeated Soros was not themselves, but Lu Shaohua himself.

Without Lu Shaohua's foresight, how could they have woven a big net to wait for the arrival of Soros and his team, how could they have grasped the key at every turn, formed a powerful offensive and defeated Soros and his team?

Yes, without Lu Shaohua, Li Yunqing and others would not have been able to achieve today's victory. But then again, they are the executors and should be happy, after all, they were the ones who defeated Soros personally.

Thinking of this, Li Yunqing and the others forgot everything and vented their joy to their heart's content...

However, after the joy, there are still many things they need to do, such as counting the final numbers. This is what Li Yunqing and others need to do most right now, and it cannot be avoided.

Li Yunqing and his team did not disappoint Lu Shaohua. On the afternoon of August 8, the three of them came to Lu Shaohua's residence and handed a summary document to Lu Shaohua.

Lu Shaohua knew that the file in his hand was none other than the final data of this time, so he turned directly to the last page and started reading.

At the bottom of the last page, a number was displayed. "One hundred and thirty-two billion US dollars..."

This is a rounded figure, Lu Shaohua knows it well. This figure is also the net income of this Hong Kong campaign, the money earned.

Lu Shaohua was unable to calculate how much money Soros and his men brought with them in this attack on Hong Kong. He only knew that it was several hundred billion US dollars. However, he also knew that they had lost nearly two billion US dollars.

Of the nearly 20 billion US dollars, more than 10 billion US dollars went into Lu Shaohua's pocket, and the rest was divided among Huo Yingdong and others. Lu Shaohua took the lion's share.

Lu Shaohua took a few deep breaths to calm down, and then he calmed down and said, "It's over in Hong Kong, but it's not over in other places. We need to keep working hard and win step by step."

In a word, in one sentence, the revolution is not over yet, comrades still need to work hard, and there are greater challenges waiting for them. As for what challenges they are, Lu Shaohua was not in a hurry to say it.
