Chapter 421 The awakened Hong Kong government

   "Is this the guy?"

The person who spoke was a middle-aged man in his forties, his brows were tightly furrowed, and the expression on his face seemed to be contemplative, but also seemed to be recalling. After a long while of silence, he finally couldn't hold back the questions in his heart. First of all, He said, "Are you sure it's this person? Why do I think his behavior is very frivolous?"

In the Hong Kong government office building in Queen's Road Central, there is a meeting room of about 50 to 60 square meters. More than 20 high-ranking government officials in suits and leather shoes are sitting in their seats, looking at the other side of the meeting room in unison. . There, a large photo of Andrew was shaking, which was apparently taken at the charity gala.

  Andrew in the picture is surrounded by many fund managers. As the picture changes, his expression is panicked at first, and then complacent. He seems to enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by stars. Later, he got directly into a Rolls Royce and drove off with several fund managers.

"Director Cen, don't underestimate this person." The person from the Financial Management Bureau finally spoke, and after Shen Liantao took a look at Ren Yigang, he said lightly, "This British man named Andrew, in the late 1980s, When he came to Hong Kong, he was just a small broker at first. But he resigned soon and became the investment director of a company called Tianyu Fund.”

"Because Tianyu Fund is not registered in Hong Kong, it is difficult for us to find out the details of the fund. However, they have registered another asset management company. It is said that the fund under management is about 50 million US dollars. This fund operates in the Hong Kong market. , the main active sites are concentrated in stocks and Hong Kong index futures, a typical hedge fund operation mode.”

"According to the feedback from the exchange, this fund called Tianyu Zhonghua keenly captured the opportunity when international speculators attacked Hong Kong in the past few times, and successfully shorted the Hong Kong stock futures index. The most amazing thing is , The position of this fund can always be sold at the point of the highest profit, and then buy the heavy holdings of the Hang Seng Index before the market rebounds, so we suspect that this fund has a high degree of connection with international speculators.”

"so what?"

The man Shen Liantao called Director Cen frowned slightly, and nodded slowly, but at the next moment, he seemed to think of something again, and then raised his brows again, and asked sharply: "Are you planning to invite him to come?" Help, let him explain how international speculators attack the Hong Kong capital market, right?"

  In his opinion, this kind of behavior is a bit like seeking skin from a tiger. After all, the other party may be one of the international speculators, and the behavior of the HKMA is very likely to expose its ignorance and fuel the other party's arrogance to a certain extent.

  Although international speculators have not shown up in the Hong Kong dollar and Hong Kong's capital market since February, the Financial Secretary and the Monetary Authority are still on the alert. Especially some time ago, it coincided with the first anniversary of Hong Kong's return to the motherland. The two government departments and the stock exchange gave almost overnight warnings. Everyone must stick to their posts. Fortunately, international speculators did not act in the end.

  Although international speculators stand still, the Hong Kong government still dare not relax for a moment. Therefore, the Hong Kong stock market began to fall continuously in July. This phenomenon immediately attracted the attention of the Financial Secretary and the Monetary Authority. After observing for a period of time, Financial Secretary Cen Yinquan, at the behest of the Chief Executive, convened this high-level financial meeting involving senior officials from the Financial Secretary, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

   What annoyed Cen Yinquan a little was that when the experts from HKMA were discussing internally, they actually split into two camps. One of the camps believes that the ultimate goal of international speculators is to destroy the Hong Kong dollar, so the Hong Kong dollar spot and futures markets are the top priority. The other school believes that international speculators are attacking the Hong Kong dollar to achieve the purpose of raising the lending rate, and then sell the Hong Kong stock futures index to make profits. This is completely opposite to the other school's point of view.

  Due to different priorities, the funds to be allocated are different, and Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves plus US dollar assets for transfer of land are limited. Therefore, Cen Yinquan did not dare to be careless, so he could only hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures and fully listen to the opinions of all parties.

But now, the faction headed by Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao of the HKMA actually wants to get to the bottom of the "international speculators". This is very likely to expose the professional deficiencies of the HKMA. everything.

"It's like this, Director Cen." Upon hearing the other party's suddenly aggravated tone, Ren Yigang only thought for a moment before suddenly realizing, and quickly explained, "According to market rumors and our own verification, it is confirmed that this man named Andrew Ren is not a member of the international speculators, not even the outsiders. Because he once spread the news that the Korean won was attacked in the financial circle of Hong Kong, and many people who followed his advice benefited a lot. Although I don’t know him The purpose of doing this, but what is certain is that this person should be different from what we imagined."

"If it's really different from what you imagined, then you can get in touch with it." Hearing this, Cen Yinquan's tone softened, but the next moment he continued, "This kind of strategic thing should not let the blue-eyed blonde The foreigners know too much, and God knows what their background is. You have to keep in mind the confidentiality, Hong Kong is troubled now, and it is always right to be more careful."

  Due to Hong Kong's special geographical location, Hong Kong has become one of the centers of various intelligence personnel struggles after World War II. And this phenomenon did not disappear after Hong Kong's return to China, but intensified, especially on the first anniversary of Hong Kong's return, such underground activities became more frequent.

"Of course we know this!" Ren Yigang nodded expressionlessly, snapped his fingers at the staff who put on the slides, and then said, "Actually, we should pay more attention to this person, maybe he is the ghost The master behind Andrew!"

  The staff immediately came forward, fiddled with the projector, and soon the picture was frozen on a picture. In the picture, Andrew was listening with his head down, and the person who spoke was Zhong Shi.

"Zhong Shi, 22 years old, came to Hong Kong in the 1990s and currently lives in an independent house in Repulse Bay. He graduated from the University of Chicago in the United States. His cousin Zhong Yi is the chairman of the board of directors of the listed company Huade Real Estate. According to publicly disclosed information, Huade Real Estate is in It changed hands in 1994, and the acquirer was an overseas company called Tianyu International Holdings. At present, the market value of Huade Real Estate is about 30 billion, and its business scope is mainly in major cities in the mainland."

"The focus is not on the CEO of the listed company, but on this young man named Zhong Shi. Please see, Andrew in the picture is obviously obedient to Zhong Shi's words, which caught our attention. After a full investigation, we have reason to believe that Mr. Zhong Shi is the big boss behind Tianyu Fund, and Andrew is just a **** who was pushed to the front. Therefore, I think that instead of inviting Andrew, it is better Invite this Mr. Zhong Shizhong, and he immigrated from the mainland, his loyalty should be guaranteed."

   There was an uproar in the conference room, for no other reason than Zhong Shi’s face, which was so young that it was almost impossible to believe that he was a fund manager who could control hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in wealth.

   "..."

Staring at Zhong Shi's young face for a long while, Cen Yinquan still slowly shook his head and said, "Even if there are really geniuses in this world, don't you think he is still a little too young? Besides these people, don't you look for him?" Are there no other advisors?"

"I don't think so!" To the surprise of most people present, Ren Yigang denied Cen Yinquan's opinion, "Director Cen, don't underestimate Mr. Zhong Shi. If I tell you, Mr. Zhong If you have been received by the Prime Minister of Zhugeguan and deeply trusted, you should change your opinion."

After a short pause, after everyone digested the shocking news, Ren Yigang continued: "In addition, I believe everyone knows that the mainland government also has a secret fund flowing into the Hong Kong capital market for the purpose of protecting the market. Meet their managers, most of them are full of praise for this Mr. Zhong and strongly recommend that we cooperate with this Mr. Zhong.”

"Also, this Mr. Zhong did not know where he came from, and he became an external economic consultant for our Hong Kong government. Although I don't know the ins and outs of this matter, I can be sure that this Mr. Zhong The energy behind it is far beyond our imagination. Strictly speaking, this Mr. Zhong belongs to us, and I believe that if we greet him, he should not refuse."

   "Princelings?"

  Cen Yinquan turned his head slightly, and after whispering to the people beside him, he asked in a deep voice: "Could it be from a wealthy family in the Mainland? Why haven't I heard of this?"

"The fact is quite the opposite." Ren Yigang denied again, "The Zhong family was originally an ordinary family in the mainland. He made a fortune and then moved to Hong Kong. According to our information, the Tianyu Fund he works for is extremely rich, and even ordinary employees drive Ferrari sports cars. However, according to the news from the exchange, except for one of the funds, the others have never been It does not appear on the trading list of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. However, under the personal name of Mr. Zhong, there are many trading records of buying and selling Hong Kong stock futures index.”

   "This is the transaction list, please take a look." Ren Yigang waved his hand, and a staff member held a thick stack of paper and distributed it to everyone.

  For personal trading lists, this is confidential, and only exchanges and brokerage companies have this information. However, because these lists have already been closed, and secondly, they were requested by the Financial Management Bureau, which governs the exchange, so Ren Yigang obtained these materials almost effortlessly.

"HSBC, Stanley, Goodman, Citigroup..." Cen Yinquan casually read in a low voice while flipping through the paper in his hand, but when his eyes saw the column of the amount, his voice stopped abruptly. And his pupils shrank suddenly.

   "70 million... No, 770 million Hong Kong dollars, my God!" Cen Yinquan sighed, this figure was beyond his expectation, it was as much as 100 million U.S. dollars.

"These are just a part. In fact, in the last few times, this Mr. Zhong also made similar profits by shorting Hong Kong stocks." Shen Liantao interjected in a timely manner, "According to our judgment, this Mr. Zhong should not be an international investor. Speculators, but what he did through his own professional judgment. Therefore, it is necessary for us to invite this Mr. Zhong to discuss the true intentions of international speculators.”

"Since there is a guarantee from the mainland and the affirmation of you guys, then you can give it a try first." Cen Yinquan finally nodded in agreement, "However, I want to participate in person to see if this Mr. Zhong is the one you all wanted. As I said, I can really see the intentions of international speculators. After all, this matter was personally assigned by the Chief Executive, and it is related to the wealth of the people of Hong Kong. I still have to investigate it myself.”

   "Of course!" After looking at each other, Ren Yigang and Shen Liantao said in unison.

   Thank you again for your strong support! Although many things have happened, the author will still work hard to code and try to write well. I don't think about whether the future is flat or muddy, since I have chosen to start, I will stick to it.
