Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 839 "837" Guan Zu: America Doesn't Believe in Tears! Taiwan's shady tactics have created a huge bomb!

So many people~~
"It's so lively."

Wu Mei was shocked by the scene in Chinatown before her.

At the same time, I felt a strange feeling—I longed for America, but America 'longed for Tokyo University'.

What the hell? !

This is a bit hard to accept.

Just then, a gasp suddenly came from not far away.

"help!"

A woman's voice cried out, her voice trembling with sobs.

"My bag was stolen!"

Wu Mei and Wei Junren looked in the direction of the sound and saw a black man snatch a white woman's bag, turn around and squeeze into the crowd, and finally disappear into an alley.

As expected, a black dog can't change its nature of eating shit!
The woman chased after him for a few steps, then burst into tears.

People around quickly moved aside, causing some chaos for a moment.

Just as the black man was about to rush into the alley, a group of security guards in cool black uniforms quickly gave chase.

suddenly,

A figure in a white shirt, amidst the gasps of a crowd of onlookers, leaped several times from the second floor, scaling the walls and leaping down.
Then they chased him into the alley.

Not long after,
With a "bang," the black man flew out of the alley and landed in the streets of Chinatown.

The security guards immediately stepped forward and pinned the black man down.

The figure in the white shirt walked out of the alley.

A gasp of surprise immediately rang out from the surrounding area.
"It's Mr. Li!"

"Councilor Lee!"

"Who?"

"You don't know him? He's a councilman in San Francisco."

"Very famous! Who in San Francisco doesn't know him?"

"Demolition of Nice Kung Fu!"

"amazing!"

Many Chinese people were amazed when they saw Li Jie leaping down from the wall.

Wu Mei and Wei Junren stood at the back of the crowd, somewhat stunned.

The Black man was taken away, and the bag was returned to the white female tourist.

"Please rest assured, dear tourists."

"In Chinatown, we have a comprehensive security system to ensure that everyone can enjoy their visit with peace of mind and relaxation..."

Li Jie bowed to the tourists, then returned upstairs with a flourish.

“Hua La La~~~~”

The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.

After several years of transformation by the Umbrella Corporation, the image of Chinese people in San Francisco has been greatly improved in the eyes of other ethnic groups, including whites, Latinos, and Arabs.

Powerful and orderly!
They are no longer the kind of people who can be bullied, belittled, slick, and bad people they used to be.

4 hours later,

Wu Mei and Wei Junren returned to the hotel.
Tonight, they experienced the vibrancy of Chinatown and met someone who left an even deeper impression on them.

"He is Chinese and owns the Umbrella Corporation. Can we apply for jobs through the Umbrella Corporation?"

At this time,
Downstairs, Ji Shaoqun, dressed in a black shirt and wearing elegant glasses, was leading two people to the hotel front desk. The receptionist was a woman weighing about 180 pounds.

She was looking down at the calculator, typing away at the accounts, when she looked up and saw Ji Shaoqun walking in with two men in black T-shirts. She immediately put on a smile:
"Mr. Ji, what brings you here?"

"Sister Carrie, we're looking for two people."

"Who?"

"These two..."

Ji Shaoqun took out two photos, one of Wu Mei and the other of Wei Junren.

This area is within the Umbrella Corporation's sphere of influence, and the hotel's guest information needs to be uploaded to the Umbrella Corporation.

So, after Guan Zu passed the information to Ji Shaoqun, Ji Shaoqun checked and found that it happened to be nearby.

It's such a coincidence.

This is quite normal, as the entire city of San Francisco is filled with an atmosphere of freedom, and the area around Chinatown is the safest, making it the first choice for many Chinese people visiting San Francisco.

Carrie looked and said, "Oh, it's them, room 306."

Ji Shaoqun: "Thanks."

Ji Shaoqun picked up the photo, nodded to the two people behind him, and turned to walk towards the stairwell.

The leather shoes made a dull thud as they stepped on the stairs.

Upon arriving at the door of room 306,
Ji Shaoqun stopped and listened to the sounds inside before bending his finger to knock on the door.

Knock knock knock~~~
"Who is it?" Wei Junren's voice was wary.

"The Umbrella Corporation is here to offer warmth."

Ji Shaoqun said with a smile.

"Umbrella Corporation?" Wei Junren and Wu Mei exchanged a glance. Umbrella Corporation was an order organization. After thinking for a moment, Wei Junren went behind the door and opened it.

Then the door chain got stuck, leaving only a small gap.

Through the crack in the door, he saw Ji Shaoqun's smiling face.

Do you have a work ID?

"Of course."

Ji Shaoqun smiled and took out his work ID to show Wei Junren.

Wei Junren confirmed that there shouldn't be any problems, and there shouldn't be any counterfeit goods, right? This is Umbrella Corporation's territory.

"Don't worry, we're good people."

Ji Shaoqun's smile was deceptive.

Wei Junren then unlocked the door chain, opening the door completely.

Ji Shaoqun, smiling, led two of his men into the room.

Close the door behind you.

Ji Shaoqun's gaze swept over Wu Mei and Wei Junren's faces, then he suddenly grinned, revealing two rows of neat teeth:

"Wu Mei, Wei Junren? My boss asked me to give him my regards."

Wu Mei and Wei Junren immediately realized that something was wrong.

"What do you want to do?"

"What for? To arrest you, of course."

Wei Junren's expression changed: "Arrest us? Why? We just arrived in America and haven't offended you at all."

I'm so confused

very confused.

Ji Shaoqun smiled and said, "Yes, of course we have... Dongguan, Bank of China, some of the money you embezzled belonged to my boss. You took my boss's money and you think you can just run away?"

"You think you can get away with running to America and no one will be able to find you?"

"Do you know that San Francisco is also our territory?!"

Wu Mei and Wei Junren's faces turned pale instantly.

Horse riding!
It's crazy!

Ji Shaoqun pointed to the door, "Either you leave on your own, or we'll knock you out and carry you away."

"How dare you do this so blatantly!" Wei Junren's voice trembled, but he still shouted defiantly, "Is there no law? Is there no justice?"

“Tsk~~~~”

Ji Shaoqun laughed as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, bent down and looked at him: "Talking about law in America? What about your green cards? Don't even mention green cards, you don't even have long-term visas, and you're talking about American law? Are you out of your mind?"

Wu Mei tugged at Wei Junren's sleeve and blinked rapidly.

Wei Junren was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and said to Ji Shaoqun, "We'll go with you."

They mustn't be knocked unconscious and carried away.
I'll leave on my own; I can find a chance to escape later.

After going downstairs,
A cool night breeze blew by.

Ji Shaoqun's car was parked under the streetlight.

Just as I reached the car and opened the door, the red light of a police car suddenly flashed across the street corner.

A police car slowly drove up, clearly on patrol.

Wu Mei was overjoyed.
The righteous American police have arrived!
She suddenly broke free from the hand gripping her arm and ran towards the police:
"Help! They are kidnappers!"

"help~"

Wei Junren also shouted.

Ji Shaoqun didn't move, a smile playing on his lips.

The police quickly stopped.
Two white police officers approached warily, hands on their hips, guns drawn.

When they saw Ji Shaoqun, the lead policeman breathed a sigh of relief and spoke casually:
"Ji, busy again?"

"Yes, it's just a personal matter." Ji Shaoqun smiled and handed over two cigarettes, the lighter clicking open to reveal a flame.
"They're from Dongda University, and there are some issues with their paperwork. Let's take them back and ask them about it."

"I'll treat you to dinner another day."

The policeman grinned.

"Okay, you guys are busy, we'll go take a look around over there."

The police lights moved again and quickly disappeared around the street corner.

What is a county-level Brahman?
This is!
Akimbo!

Wei Junren and Wu Mei watched the whole process in disbelief.

Where is the free and beautiful America we were promised?
My fantasy has collapsed!

The two people knelt on the ground.

"No------!"

Wu Mei collapsed to the ground, muttering blankly, "How could this happen... Isn't America supposed to be the most law-abiding country...?"

Wei Junren stood to the side, utterly dejected. Soon...

The two were dragged into the car.

Ji Shaoqun went up and started hitting them hard, giving them a good beating.

sneer.

“I told you upstairs just now that this is our territory.”

Do you even understand the significance of being a "San Francisco Police Department Friendly Partner"?

The car started and slowly disappeared into the night, the engine sound fading into the distance.

in the car,

Wei Junren and Wu Mei looked up, tears of despair streaming down their faces.

Then Ji Shaoqun punched him:
"Tears? America doesn't believe in tears!"

……

12 hours later,
Dongguan

Lei Youcai received the photos sent by Guan Zu.

The photos show Wu Mei and Wei Junren looking bruised and swollen from being beaten.

Lei Youcai: "…………"

Gasp.

Didn't these two flee to the United States? How come they were caught so quickly?

It seems that Mr. Guan's influence has already infiltrated the United States.

Lei Youcai thought about it and wondered why his daughter wasn't more ambitious.

Damn it!
"Ling ring ring~~~"

At this time, the leaders in Dongguan called him and said that they had reached a conclusion with the bank and would guarantee the safety of the investors' funds.

……

……

A new day,
10 month 16 day.

Monetary Authority.

A small internal meeting of senior management is being held in a conference room.

The members of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) sat around a round conference table.

Hosted by Mr. Ren.

With a serious expression, Mr. Ren scanned the room before saying in a deep voice, "In recent weeks, the Hong Kong dollar has been steadily approaching its safety line. If carry trades continue, the exchange rate will most likely continue to fall."

"At present, we must discuss countermeasures immediately, and raising interbank lending rates is an unavoidable option."

Should interbank lending rates be increased?
The team members all frowned.

"Isn't this a bad idea? Raising interbank lending rates will cause market funding costs to skyrocket, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises that rely on working capital, which could very likely cause their cash flow to break down."

"The stock market will also suffer a severe blow, investor confidence will be shaken, and a large amount of capital will flow out of Hong Kong Island..."

"Furthermore, the real estate market is the same. With high interest rates, housing prices are very likely to fall, which could trigger a series of chain reactions..."

"The exchange rate and stock market are very stable now, so there's no need to worry, right?"

They all expressed their opposition.

Inspector Ren was having a bit of a headache.

He couldn't tell them his true purpose.

at this time,

Knock knock knock~~~~
Mr. Ren's assistant knocked on the door, pushed it open, and strode in.

"Officer Ren, it's big!"

"Just now, the Taiwanese Ministry of Finance announced some news—they are going to abandon the exchange rate of the New Taiwan Dollar!"

"what?!"

Bang!
The entire conference room was filled with a palpable change in expression; some people even stood up.

"Why?!"

Unbelievable!

Why is it so unbelievable?

Because Taiwan was not Soros's primary target.

There is an even more important reason —

Taiwan's foreign exchange reserves are very high!
It's only slightly worse than Hong Kong Island!

By 1992, it had risen to US$895 billion, ranking first in the world;

It reached its peak of US$1004 billion in June 1995;

In 1996, it fell to US$88.038 billion, ranking third in the world.

Although Taiwan and Hong Kong Island are not closely connected, Taiwan has a very large amount of foreign exchange reserves.

Therefore, everyone in the conference room couldn't help but feel uncertain: even Taiwan had surrendered, could Hong Kong Island's more than 900 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves really hold up? Could it really hold on?

"Investigate immediately!"

Why would Taiwan abandon its efforts to protect its exchange rate?

With a serious expression, Mr. Ren instructed his assistant.

Assistant: "Yes!"

As for raising interest rates? There's no need anymore.

Taiwan has run into a huge problem; Hong Kong Island might be in chaos now.

……

……

Curved.

Zhou Chaoxian was cursing.

"Pu Niang!"

"Give up defending the exchange rate? You idiot!"

He watched the midday news on TV and couldn't help but start cursing.

He has a lot of international business; if this happens, won't a lot of his assets shrink?

As for why Taiwan abandoned its efforts to protect its exchange rate?

There is much speculation from the outside world.

However, the most common speculation is—

Although Taiwan has a certain economic foundation, its industries are highly dependent on foreign trade, resulting in a decline in its competitiveness in the global industrial chain and insufficient economic growth momentum.

Although international speculators did not list it as a primary target, the market panic triggered by the crisis has spread, increasing the pressure of capital outflow.

And what about the Taiwanese authorities?
Their ideas are completely opposite to those of countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

They believe that continuing to defend the New Taiwan Dollar exchange rate would require consuming a large amount of foreign exchange reserves, and even with such a huge investment, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.

So, I might as well just lie down!
I'm not going to stay!

Moreover, abandoning the exchange rate and devaluing the New Taiwan Dollar can stimulate exports, drive economic growth, and mitigate the impact of the financial crisis.

This clever move instantly made it the most dazzling star in Asia.

……

……

new York,

At Soros Estate.

The clock had just struck 21 p.m. when New York was still ablaze with lights.

Soros, dressed in his pajamas, was getting ready for bed.

Just then, the phone on the bedside table suddenly rang urgently.

Soros frowned, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes when he saw the caller ID.

Rodney Jones's.

connected.

Rodney Jones' excited voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Mr. Soros, I apologize for disturbing your rest. I just received some good news: the Ministry of Finance of Taiwan has announced that it will abandon its defense of the New Taiwan Dollar exchange rate!"

"What?" Soros, who had been languidly sitting up, sat up straight instantly.

"Is the news confirmed?"

"Absolutely true!"

"Hahaha, good!"

Soros couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It's like heaven is on my side!"

No other country softened, except for Taiwan.

Why doesn't he actively attack Taiwan?
Because Taiwan has a lot of foreign exchange reserves!

As it turned out, it was very clever and surrendered!

Is Hong Kong Island in a panic now?

They're definitely going to panic!
After hanging up, Soros immediately dialed another number.

"Check the news from Taiwan to see if they've abandoned their stance on the New Taiwan Dollar exchange rate?"

"If it is confirmed to be true, immediately contact major media outlets and publicize this matter widely, emphasizing that Hong Kong's foreign exchange reserves, like those of Taiwan, will be unable to withstand the impending storm. Make everyone believe that Hong Kong's financial market is about to be thrown into chaos!"

"Yes!!"
