章節 1458: Chapter 1458: The Hong Kong business community must be purged
'I believe that after listening to Professor Zhang's explanation, everyone knows the importance of today's battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar.'
'Then everyone's main concern is, without a doubt, the specific situation of the battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar.'
'In this regard, I think Director Zhang will know better.'
'Now, please let Director Zhang explain to us.'
Xiao Mingyuan changed the subject from Liu Jinhui to Zhang Tianfeng and handed the microphone to Zhang Tianfeng with a smile.
The latter smiled and took the microphone: 'Next, I will introduce you to the details of the battle from time to time.'
'Although I am currently at the TV station, you can see the T-Mobile phone in front of me. I will use this phone to consult with colleagues at the Monetary Authority for real-time information.'
After saying this, Zhang Tianfeng pressed a series of numbers, and it was connected in just a few seconds.
'...As of 10:38 a.m., statistics show that the dollar-Hong Kong dollar trading volume today has reached 19.58 billion U.S. dollars, and the trading volume has reached an all-time high.'
After Zhang Tianfeng finished the call, he reported the situation, and the figure shocked the audience in front of the TV.
And the audience could clearly see that the host Xiao Mingyuan and the guest Professor Liu Jinhui in the studio also looked surprised.
Xiao Mingyuan also knew that the audience at home would inevitably be worried after hearing this figure, so he took the initiative to ask:
'Director Zhang, the enemy's offensive is so fierce, I wonder if the Monetary Authority can withstand it?'
Zhang Tianfeng calmly and composedly laughed: 'Of course there is no problem. Just now, Jiuding Bank once again exchanged 20 billion US dollars with the Monetary Authority, and other banks also supported a batch of US dollars. Therefore, even if the shorts have traded 19.58 billion US dollars, the Monetary Authority still has more than 20 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves at present!'
'Moreover, all major local banks in Xiangjiang are still doing their best to raise US dollars, so we are fully confident in defending against the enemy's attack!'
'Papatapa...'
'Director Zhang's words are very encouraging, and I believe that all of you watching at home can completely let go of your worries.'
Xiao Mingyuan and Liu Jinhui couldn't help but applaud and cheer, and Xiao Mingyuan didn't forget to remind the audience.
...
After that, the three of them kept chatting about the topic of the defence of Hong Kong, and every ten minutes, Zhang Tianfeng would give an update on the situation, trying to keep the broadcast hot.
Until 1:23 p.m.!
A huge audience was still waiting in front of the TV. The ratings in the background showed that the ratings had reached 54.8%, and the viewing share was 96.9%!
It was clear that the influence of this live broadcast had completely spread.
Just then!
Zhang Tianfeng's Tianmo phone suddenly rang. He answered it immediately, and the camera panned to his face, which instantly turned serious.
Without hanging up, he took the phone in one hand and turned on the microphone, saying, 'Dear audience, the battle has reached its most intense moment, and the enemy is launching its final attack.'
'In the foreign exchange market, a spot sell order for 15 billion Hong Kong dollars was placed... In just three seconds, we came up with 2.46 billion US dollars and took this huge contract!'
'The enemy has once again placed a spot sell order of 12 billion Hong Kong dollars...'
'...'
As Zhang Tianfeng narrated with a grave tone, the audience in front of the TV unconsciously held their breath and concentrated, with images of the battle flashing through their minds.
Of course, since many of the audience had never traded foreign exchange before, they could only imagine the scene of foreign exchange trading, but this did not affect their attention or anxiety in the slightest.
One minute later.
Zhang Tianfeng, who had been constantly narrating the battle situation, suddenly fell silent.
And this silence continued for 5 seconds, 10 seconds, 30 seconds, 1 minute...
Just as many audience members couldn't help but panic.
Zhang Tianfeng suddenly broke into a smile.
The audience's hearts instantly dropped by half, and they heard Zhang Tianfeng's maniacal laughter: 'One minute!'
'There have been no sell orders for over a minute, and the market is now full of our buy orders. We have won! The Hong Kong dollar exchange rate remains strong! Hahaha...'
For a moment, cheers could be heard all over Hong Kong, and some excited people even rushed out of the door with firecrackers, turning almost the entire city into a sea of joy.
The victors cheered, while the losers were destined to feel dejected.
In the Hong Kong branch of the Rothschild & Sons company,
Charles and Shawn Rothschild were silent.
In the Hong Kong branch of S.G. Warburg & Co., Terence Warburg slumped on a stool, his eyes staring blankly at the ceiling, the phone he had dropped from his hands on the floor.
London, England, at the Lochliss family castle.
Evelyn Lochliss, who had not slept a wink and had been holding out until just after 6am London time, had bloodshot eyes. In his impotent fury, he smashed his beloved vase, scattering sharp shards all over the floor, and the sound of the sharp crash woke many members of the family.
In Xiangjiang, members of the Chaoshan Gang frantically called each other, intending to meet urgently to discuss strategies to deal with the crisis.
...
'Chairman, under your wise command, we have once again achieved a brilliant victory!'
In the Jiuding Securities Company, Yuan Tianfan smiled and congratulated Xia Yu.
Xia Yu patted Yuan Tianfan on the shoulder and said, 'Tianfan, the battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar has been won, and now it's time to reap the fruits of victory.'
'The short contracts on Hong Kong stocks will expire one after the other, and there is not much time left for us to operate. Give me full power to speculate and push up the Hong Kong stock market, and strip the enemy bare!'
'Yes, I promise to strip the enemy bare!' Yuan Tianfan puffed out his chest and gave a serious promise.
'All employees, follow the chairman's instructions and give me complete freedom to speculate and push up Hong Kong stocks!'
Then Yuan Tianfan turned his head and shouted orders at all the traders in the operations room.
'Yes!' There was an immediate resounding response from the operations room, and everyone threw themselves into their work as if they had been pumped up with adrenaline.
After leaving Jiuding Securities Company satisfied, Xia Yu gave an order to Huo Jianning, who was accompanying him: 'Jianning, immediately compile and summarise all the data from the Hong Kong dollar defence, and try to give it to me today.'
'Okay,' Huo Jianning replied, and immediately got in touch with him via mobile phone after getting into the car.
...
Until the foreign exchange market closed at 4:00 p.m., no Hong Kong dollar sell orders appeared again. The Hong Kong dollar and US dollar markets were calm, as if the shocking battles in the morning and at noon had not happened.
At 4:42 p.m., Fok Kin-ning handed Xia Yu the statistics.
Since last Thursday, there had only been three weekdays, and with the weekend included, there had only been five days.
In those three weekdays, the Hong Kong foreign exchange market had traded 62.37 billion U.S. dollars, with an average daily trading volume of 20.79 billion U.S. dollars.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority's U.S. dollar foreign exchange reserves had been 11.78 billion U.S. dollars before Thursday.
After the battle ended today, the dollar foreign exchange reserves were left with 11.21 billion US dollars. Although this was less than the beginning, it was still over 10 billion US dollars, which was enough to ensure the financial security of Xiangjiang.
Not to mention, Xia Yu's secret stash still had a huge amount of money. If any more enemies appeared, they would not escape defeat...
During the entire battle, Jiuding Bank alone had contributed 40 billion US dollars, giving it an extra 244 billion Hong Kong dollars in capital, which was all in Xia Yu's secret account.
In addition, other banks and financial institutions had also contributed 21.8 billion US dollars to support the defence of the Hong Kong dollar.
'Chairman, after the details of this battle are announced, I believe Jiuding Bank's reputation will be heard around the world. To come up with 40 billion US dollars in five days is something no other bank in the world could have done!'
Fok Kin-ning suddenly smiled and said after seeing Xia Yu finish reading it.
Xia Yu smiled and nodded, and told Fok Kin-ning, 'You take care of the publicity, and feel free to use the media resources of the entire consortium.'
'Understood,' Fok Kin-ning immediately agreed and made a note of it.
'By the way, Chairman, do you want to expose the Chaoshan Gang?' After making a note, Fok Kin-ning asked a question.
Xia Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment of thought, he shook his head slightly: 'It's not time yet. Exposing them would be too easy on them. This is a rare opportunity, and the Hong Kong business community must be cleaned up.'
'These parasites are not qualified to take up so many resources in Hong Kong...'
