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

Chapter 870 "868" Finale: Victory Belongs to Hong Kong Island! International Speculative Capital Flees in Panic!

After receiving a call from Soros, Rodney Jones quickly went to find Luo Minsheng.

30 minutes later,
The two met at a clubhouse in Central.

In the box.

Luo Minsheng arrived a little earlier, sitting on the sofa with a lit cigar between his fingers. The steam from the Biluochun tea in the celadon teacup in front of him had long since dissipated. He had obviously been waiting for a long time, but he showed no signs of impatience.

"Mr. Luo, I'm sorry I'm late!"

Rodney Jones strode in, looking disheveled and unkempt.

"Mr. Jones, no rush, what is it?"

Rodney Jones, racing against time, didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "Mr. Jones, our Soros Fund has suffered a defeat this time. The boss has instructed me to close out our short positions as soon as possible. However, if we buy up shares in the stock market, it might stimulate a rapid rise in stock prices."

“I was wondering if Mr. Luo could help us raise these shares through the Landlords Association. Our boss, Mr. Soros, said he would remember your kindness this time.”

"From now on, whatever resources you need on Wall Street, we will do our best to satisfy them!"

Luo Minsheng simply looked at him quietly, then slowly uttered two words:
"cannot!"

Rodney paused for two seconds before reacting: "Huh?"

Then he quickly said,
"Mr. Luo, please reconsider! This won't hurt you! We're willing to pay a premium, 5% or 10% higher than the current market price, as long as the shares are allocated as soon as possible!"

Luo Minsheng smirked: "Excuse me, but I'll tell you a secret... Actually, I work for the Five Star Group."

Rodney Jones: "Huh?"

Luo Minsheng leaned forward slightly, his voice tinged with mockery: "Actually... the first meeting you had with me after arriving in Hong Kong was all arranged by Mr. Guan."

Startled, Rodney instinctively took a step back, his lower back bumping against the chair behind him with a soft thud.

"You...you're joking?"

He stared at Luo Minsheng, his eyes filled with disbelief—the man in front of him was clearly the leader of the Hong Kong Island “Landlord Association”, a “Western faction”, and had previously helped them make connections. How could he be a member of the Five Star Group?

"A joke? No, I'm not joking!"

"Actually, everything you see is fake. I told you about the 'big bubble in Hong Kong stocks' and then found you a few local bosses who were willing to short sell... All of this was arranged by Mr. Guan."

"You...you..." Rodney's voice began to tremble, "When did you..."

“When? About a year ago…” Luo Minsheng stubbed out his cigar, the ash falling into the crystal ashtray: “Mr. Guan had long anticipated that international speculative capital would target Hong Kong Island, and he began to lay the groundwork from that time on. And you, Mr. Jones, walked into this trap from the very first day you set foot in Hong Kong Island.”

"No...it's impossible...a year ago...you actually did this a year ago..."

Rodney muttered to himself, as if all his strength had been drained away in an instant.

Luo Minsheng looked at Rodney Jones with a mocking expression: "Mr. Jones, now you should understand that from the very beginning, you had no chance of winning."

finished,

Luo Minsheng left the private room, and the door clicked shut.

Rodney was left alone in the private room, his mind replaying his experiences over the past year.

The neon lights outside the window were still dazzling, but he felt as if everything was pitch black and his whole body was ice cold.

A game of chess that had been planned for a year.

This Five Star Group is really well hidden!

He picked up the phone and dialed his boss via international satellite phone.

"Boss, this way... it seems like we've been in a trap all along..."

He reported the situation to the past.

In New York,

Soros stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window on the top floor, where there were already more than a dozen cigarette butts on the ground.

I was actually set up?
……

……

Hong Kong Island.

16: 00.

The stock market is officially closed.

The afternoon sun shone on the surface of Victoria Harbour, reflecting the surging crowds in front of the Stock Exchange building.

The red numbers on the electronic screen finally settled – the Hang Seng Index stood at 13818 points, a single-day increase of 26.9%.

Including yesterday's gains, the cumulative increase has exceeded 36%.

Inside the Stock Exchange lobby,
Countless people cheered!
"Hong Kong Island will prevail!"

"Hong Kong Island will prevail!"

A surge of passion was welling up inside me.

Among the crowd, Granny Chen looked at the money in her securities account, her eyes crinkling with smiles. She had made more than 5000 Hong Kong dollars in one go.

Not far away, the renovation worker laughed heartily; he had earned over 7000 Hong Kong dollars.

Every single stock investor made money and was beaming with joy.

The entire Hong Kong Island was filled with cheers, just like during Chinese New Year.

……

Central Plaza

Top floor, Guan Zu's office.

Fang Zhanbo: "Brother Zu, those international speculative funds led by Soros are constantly acquiring stocks."

"And in the foreign exchange market, there were no more sell orders for Hong Kong dollars. It was very quiet for three hours."

"Clearly, these speculative investors have admitted defeat!"

Guan Zu stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the bustling traffic below.

"Their positions were around 10000 points, and now they're over 13000, a 30% increase..."

"To acquire enough shares for delivery, their cost price will definitely exceed 40%."

"Heh~~~"

Guan Zu sneered.

Due to the surge in market buying, their purchasing behavior will further drive up the stock price, creating a vicious cycle of "loss-buying frenzy-more losses".

However, they had no way to delay.

For every hour the closing of positions is delayed, the index could rise by 500 points, resulting in an additional loss of HK$5 billion.

The more people try to close out their positions in batches, the more they will stimulate bullish sentiment in the market, creating a continuously reinforcing upward cycle.

It's worth noting that in futures rules, even if a margin call occurs, losses exceeding the margin must still be recovered. Therefore, the losses from a margin call may be greater than those from a normal liquidation.

Soros and his gang have lost far more than HK$400 billion this time; it could be HK$500 billion! Or even HK$600 billion!
Fang Zhanbo: "Brother Zu, the Financial Secretary would like to invite you to attend the Financial Secretary's press conference."

Guan Zu shook his head: "No, they can handle it themselves."

Fang Zhanbo: "Okay!"

……

……

18 points,
The Financial Secretary held a press conference at the Government House.

This time,
In addition to more than 70 news media outlets from Hong Kong Island, more than 60 media outlets from around the world attended, covering most major media outlets from Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia, the United States, and Europe.

These media outlets were all people who flew to Hong Kong yesterday to witness the devastation of the financial crisis when Soros and international speculative capital launched their attack on the Hong Kong financial market.

As a result, upon disembarking from the plane, I did not see the devastation on Hong Kong Island.

Instead, we saw international speculative capital getting badly beaten up by Hong Kong.

International media: "…………"

Their expressions were like this, as shown in the picture below:
isn't it?
These international speculative funds have ruined Southeast Asia and siphoned off a lot of money, and now they're all coming to Hong Kong Island to dump properties there.

It came with overwhelming force and momentum!

How come Hong Kong Island overwhelmed them after just two days of all-out attack?

Is Hong Kong Island just too crazy?

Or is this world just too crazy?
18:10,

Ta tap tap~~~~
All eyes were focused on the entrance to the podium.

The noisy press conference suddenly fell silent.

Financial Secretary Sir Tsang, dressed in a dark suit, walked out with an undisguised smile on his face.

We won! Hahaha~~~~
Let me put my hands on my hips and laugh for a bit first!

He walked to the podium, his face serious and solemn... and smirked!
"Dear friends from the media, fellow citizens of Hong Kong Island..."

"I stand here today to announce some exciting news—our battle to defend Hong Kong's financial markets has seen the dawn of victory!"

"First of all, I want to tell all Hong Kong citizens that after two days of hard work, international speculative capital has officially given up its dumping campaign on Hong Kong Island's foreign exchange market. In the past three hours, there has not been a single large-scale sell order for Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market... This most likely means that they have abandoned their conspiracy to disrupt our exchange rate system!"

"Secondly, as international speculative capital has stopped shorting, a large amount of US dollars is flowing back to Hong Kong Island and being exchanged for Hong Kong dollars."

"As of 17 p.m. today, our foreign exchange reserves have rebounded by $100 billion. These returning funds have not only stabilized our financial system, but also demonstrated the collapse of international speculative capital!"

"Third, according to our monitoring, international speculative capital, represented by the Soros Fund, is actively accumulating shares in the market, striving to close out their positions and leave the market as soon as possible."

"Splash splash splash splash~~~"

"it is good!"

"Great!"

Upon hearing this, all the Hong Kong Island reporters applauded and cheered.

This basically confirms that Hong Kong Island has won!

Consider the failures in Southeast Asia and South Korea, but now this is the first time that international speculative capital has been turned around and defeated!

"More importantly, tomorrow, funds from more than a dozen central state-owned enterprises from Southeast University will officially join the Hong Kong stock market and fight alongside us!"

Inspector Zeng's voice was now filled with more passion.
"These state-owned enterprises brought not only funds, but also the mainland's firm support for Hong Kong! From beginning to end, Hong Kong has not been fighting alone!"

Many reporters were in an uproar.

The national team has been substituted?

Don't be fooled by the fact that Dongda University is still poor now; it's a huge entity with a lot of capital, just like other central state-owned enterprises.

And those international media outlets were furious.

Hong Kong stocks were already high enough, and now, the National Team from Southeast University has come to get involved.

International speculative capital is really going to die.

quickly,

That concludes the speech.

We arrived at the interview segment.
Local reporters excitedly asked, "Sir Tsang, does this mean the financial defense battle has been completely won?"

Inspector Tsang smiled and replied, "The dawn of victory has arrived. We will continue to hold our ground until the last bit of risk is eliminated."

now,

He was filled with boundless pride.

This wave of profits has not only made the Five Star Group and local residents incredibly wealthy, but the government itself has also made a fortune.

Moreover, after this battle, the Financial Secretary's reputation soared, and his position was firmly secured, making it impossible for anyone to shake his status.

Inspector Ren: Me too!

I'll probably be laughing in my sleep tonight.

Thanks to the international speculative investor for the super rocket!
Awesome, bro!
Soros, sending you a heart!
……

Approaching 19 PM,
Every household in Hong Kong turned on their television sets, waiting for today's news.

How's the stock market?

What's happening in the foreign exchange market?

I heard the Financial Secretary held a press conference. What news did they release?
quickly,

It's 19 o'clock.

ATV and TVB's evening news are broadcast on time.

People across Hong Kong put down what they were doing and started watching television.

Good evening, everyone...

"This morning, Mr. Kwan Cho convened a meeting... to launch the financial defense of Hong Kong Island, calling on all citizens of Hong Kong..."

"At Mr. Kwan's call, all citizens of Hong Kong mobilized... As soon as the stock market opened, the Hang Seng Index opened 2% higher..."

"Finally at 16:00, the Hang Seng Index reached 13818 points, a single-day increase of 26.9%, setting a new historical high..."

"At 18 PM, the Financial Secretary held a press conference announcing that international speculative capital had abandoned its attack on the foreign exchange market and instead invested over HK$1000 billion in the Hong Kong stock market, aggressively accumulating shares in preparation for liquidating its positions and fleeing Hong Kong Island..."

"This foreshadows the imminent victory in the battle to defend Hong Kong Island!"

"This is a victory for Hong Kong Island, a victory for the people of Hong Kong Island, and a testament to the spirit of Hong Kong Island!"

With the news broadcast on television, a huge weight was lifted from the hearts of all Hong Kong citizens.

International speculative capital has fled!
We won!
"Hahaha~~~~"

Cheers and laughter echoed throughout the streets and alleys of Hong Kong, in every household.

Finally, ATV and TVB also reported on the 'expert' advice:
"Dear citizens and residents, although international speculative capital is currently flowing out, it hasn't all left yet!"

"According to the latest statistics from the Ministry of Finance, international speculative funds still have about HK$600 billion in short positions that have not been closed. Their cost basis is around 10000 points. Now that the index is at 13800 points, for every 100 points it rises, their losses will increase by HK$30 billion!"

"So what we need to do next is not stop, but press our advantage!"

"That's right! I suggest that all Hong Kong citizens continue to rationally buy quality constituent stocks. The more we buy, the higher the cost will be for international speculative funds to liquidate their positions and grab stocks. We'll make them return all the ill-gotten gains they made in Southeast Asia, including principal and interest!"

"No...it should be that we let them lose their underwear!"

"Moreover, there's no need to worry about risks. The funds from state-owned enterprises in Dongda will enter the market tomorrow, and the Hong Kong government has ample foreign exchange reserves, ensuring full market liquidity. We want international speculative capital to remember that Hong Kong is not a place they can come and go as they please!"

"Trying to leave? Leave your underwear behind!"

With the expert's 'mischievous' guidance...

The entire city of Hong Kong burst out laughing.

"it is good!"

"Keep buying tomorrow!"

Charge them!

"Let them lose so badly they have nothing left to wear!"

"Hahaha~~~"

……

……

A new day,
Friday, the last day of the week for the stock market.

In the past 12 hours, there has been no further selling of the Hong Kong dollar in the London and New York foreign exchange markets, indicating that international speculative capital has truly given up.

At 9 a.m., the Hong Kong stock market reopened.

Hong Kong citizens took leave en masse and once again flocked to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange... as well as various securities companies...

In addition, the national team has arrived.

China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation, Huaneng Group, China Post Group, PetroChina, Norinco... have poured large sums of money into the Hong Kong stock market.

International speculative capital is trembling with fear.

Damn it, people from Dongda University have no sportsmanship!
9:00-9:30，竞价预盘14200点！高开 3.62%！

Then, orders from the national team flooded in, and the index soared to 14500 points, a 5.07% increase! The cheers in the trading hall were deafening, and there was madness everywhere!

It broke 15000 points at 9:45 AM.
Rush to 15500 points at 10:30

The index closed at 16000 points at 12:00, up 15.94%!

Emotions were reignited. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange and securities firms were filled with cries of "Let international speculative capital lose everything!"

In the afternoon,

At 1:30 PM, the Hang Seng Index broke through 16500 points!
At 14:15 PM, the index reached 16840 points, a gain of over 20%!

The securities company under the Five Star Group even put on a celebratory display with cannons, which exploded with a bang and ribbons flew everywhere!
The market closed at 16 PM, at 16920 points! A single-day increase of 22.61%.
International speculative capital feels like it's going crazy.

Their acquisition costs have skyrocketed.

want to cry!

fuck!

……

……

Estrada's office at the presidential palace in Manila was in a mess.

He stared at the newly acquired document in his hand.
Hong Kong stocks surged over 22% in a single day, causing international speculative capital to suffer losses exceeding 500 billion!

Shaking!
It's causing liver tremors!
He quickly grabbed the phone on the table and dialed Soros's international number.

"Soros!" Estrada roared as soon as the call connected, "How much of our billion-dollar investment in the Philippines is left? Didn't you say it was a sure win? Didn't you say we'd make a fortune in two months?!"

How bad is the Philippines' economy right now?

With only $50 billion left in foreign exchange reserves, most of which was used for import trade transactions, $10 billion was painstakingly extracted and given to the Soros Fund in the hope that Soros could help make some money.

As a result, the Hong Kong stock market not only didn't crash, but it actually surged.

Is there any royal law?
Are there any laws?
Why can't it collapse like the Philippines?

Why? !

On the other end of the phone was New York at one in the morning.

Soros's voice sounded tired, yet somewhat dismissive: "Mr. President, the market situation is unexpected; this is something we didn't anticipate."

"Didn't expect this?" Estrada slammed his fist on the table, his face contorted with rage. "I don't care what the situation is! You must guarantee the safety of my funds in the Philippines!"

Soros's voice remained calm: "I understand your anxiety, but the situation is special right now, and the Soros Fund itself is also suffering heavy losses. I will try my best to find a solution, but it will take time."

“Time? I don’t have that much time!” Estrada’s voice rose.
"The Philippines' foreign exchange reserves are almost depleted, and the people are protesting! I demand that you close out our $10 billion short position within three days! Even if we lose money, we must get the rest of the money back!"

Soros: "Mr. President, I'm sorry, I can't guarantee that. Right now, the Hong Kong stock market is all buy orders, and we have too many short positions. There's simply no way we can quickly acquire enough shares to close our positions."

"Can't guarantee that?" Estrada was furious.

"When you sent your assistant to approach me for cooperation, that's not what you said! You said Hong Kong Island was bound to collapse! Now you're telling me you can't guarantee that?!"

Soros, do you have a heart?!
Soros's tone turned cold: "I'm not denying the debt, I'm just stating the facts objectively. Everyone is losing money right now, not just you. Please calm down and wait patiently."

"Calm down? The Philippines is about to collapse, how can we calm down?!"

Estrada was furious: "I must have been blind to believe your nonsense!"

Soros grew impatient: "Mr. President, there's no point in saying this now. I have other things to attend to, so I'm hanging up."

"You dare hang up on me? Soros! You come back here!"

Estrada was still shouting when all he heard on the other end of the line was a busy signal.

"Bastard! Liar!"

Bang~~~
Estrada slammed the phone to the ground, and the satellite phone shattered into several pieces instantly.

He was so angry that he paced around the office, grabbed the documents on the table and threw them on the floor, cursing incessantly.

"Why? Why should Hong Kong Island be able to stay stable? And Soros, you executioner, why did I trust you in the first place!"

He became more and more regretful as he spoke, and finally slumped into a chair, clutching his hair with both hands.

The Philippines has already suffered enough, and now it has lost so much money. He really doesn't know how to explain this to the people.

No, get the finance department to do the accounting right away!

He quickly summoned the finance minister to change the accounts and shift the blame!
……

the other side,
The Soros Fund Management building in New York.

Soros hung up the phone, his face terribly grim.

He dialed Rodney Jones's number, his tone icy: "Rodney, close out your short positions in Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines, Indonesia, and Thailand last."

"We'll deal with our own short positions first, as well as the positions of those European and American investors. Their funds are the most important thing to be safe."

He didn't care about the Philippine president's anger at all.

He also didn't care about the anger of those Southeast Asian countries.

They're just a bunch of clowns I've played with.

You still want to ride roughshod over me?
Rodney Jones, exuding righteousness, said: "Boss, our Soros Fund is a legitimate company. Their funds arrive later, so naturally they should be processed last."

Soros paused for a moment, then burst into laughter.

That's right,

Those who arrive late will naturally be processed last.

Soros: "By the way, how many positions have you taken now?"

Rodney Jones: "We have $80 billion, and we've only received $60 billion so far. The average position loss is 42%..."

Soros: "…………"

The smile disappeared.

Liver hurts!

"Ring ring ring~~~~"

Just then, another phone call came in.

He is Thailand's Finance Minister.

“Mr. Soros, we request that you prioritize closing out our short positions held by Thai funds…”

Soros, with an air of righteousness, said: "Rest assured, Mr. Finance Minister, I will definitely prioritize Thailand above all else."

"........."

The Thai finance minister was rendered speechless.

You shouldn't have said it, because now that you've said it, I don't even believe you anymore.

Subsequently,

The prime ministers and presidents of countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia called.

Soros maintained a consistent stance: "It will definitely be a priority!"

Indonesian President and Malaysian Prime Minister: "…………"

I'm a nima!

Soros, I want you dead, dead, dead, dead, dead, dead!
……

……

HSBC's side.

Big Boss Brandon watched as HSBC Holdings' stock price surged to double its initial value. Following instructions from the European fund, he was rapidly selling off some of his HSBC shares.

Sell ​​now at a high price, then buy back later at a low price.

Make a fortune.

Anyway, Guan Zu only asked local companies to buy back their shares and not sell them; he didn't ask foreign companies to do the same.

HSBC is a foreign-owned company.

Guan Zu, it was your oversight, don't blame me!

Hehehe~~~~
……

……

The next 2 is Saturday and Sunday.

The Hong Kong stock market is closed.

Hong Kong Island residents enjoyed a pleasant weekend, as most of them saw their assets increase by more than 30% in just two days.

When speculative capital falters, Hong Kong Island profits handsomely.

Cool! !

……

New week, Monday.

Officially opened for business.

At 10 a.m., it surged to 17600 points, breaking last year's historical record of 17530 points.

With the positive impact of companies moving north and the influx of speculative capital into Hong Kong, the market can continue to rise, although the pace has slowed considerably.

Many citizens are experienced stock traders and realize that although Hong Kong stocks have not yet peaked, they will soon.

……

Central Plaza.

Guan Zu looked at the insane index and was considering the safety issues.

"Zhanbo, Ahu, what do you guys think? Should we let the market cool down a bit?"

Fang Zhanbo: "I agree with Brother Zu's opinion. A fast bull is not a bull; a long-term bull is a bull. We should be more cautious."

Gao Hu nodded in agreement: "I support it. If it suddenly surges to 20000 points, it's easy for it to crash. It's safer to let it rise slowly."

During his time in Hong Kong, Gao Hu experienced this financial battle involving hundreds of billions of dollars, which unleashed his talent and rapidly improved his skills.

Now he is more composed and can stand on his own.

Kwan Cho waved his hand: "Then tell ATV and TVB to find some economic experts to quell the hype. We need to be tactful and not mess up the market."

Fang Zhanbo nodded: "Yes... By the way, Brother Zu, HSBC is selling off its HSBC Holdings shares."

Guan Zu smirked: "They throw things around, we absorb them. This is a perfect opportunity for us to take control of the board of directors!"

HSBC Holdings is a very strong company with many branches around the world.

Accumulating shares now might result in losses, but in a few years, it certainly won't be a loss, and you can even acquire shares in HSBC and plant a seed in HSBC.

Guan Zu thought of something else: "By the way, if the market calms down, those international speculative funds might shift their positions to September, and then dump their holdings to buy up shares and close out their positions once the market has calmed down. Zhanbo, please inform the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and ask them to introduce policies as soon as possible to prevent this behavior."

This situation also occurred in a previous life.

Therefore, Guan Zu wants to give a reminder.

……

noon,

ATV and TVB reported on the stock market's continued positive trend and also invited economic experts for exclusive interviews.

Experts say: "The stock market is expected to reach 20000 points..."

Another expert said, "With the deepening cooperation between Hong Kong Island and the mainland, Hong Kong Island's economy will definitely be better in the future."

The third expert said, "I am optimistic that the stock market will reach 20000 points."

The hints kept coming back and forth, 20000 points.

After several reports, Hong Kong Island residents generally concluded that they should reduce their holdings when the index reached 19000+ points.

……

Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday...

The Hong Kong stock market began to show divergence, with many citizens starting to calm down. Some sold and got off the train early, while others continued to buy, pushing the index up to 20000 points.

Then the stock market's growth slowed down.

It took a week to reach 18800 points.

It was already March 14th.

There are 14 days left until the settlement date of the Hang Seng Index futures contract on August 28, which is two weeks.

……

at this time,

There are also disagreements among international speculative investors.

Some speculative funds have stopped caring and are focused on accumulating enough shares to close their positions first.

Another group of speculative funds, seeing that the Hong Kong stock market has calmed down, are considering whether to shift their positions to September, then dump Hong Kong stocks again and accumulate more shares to close out their positions.

then……

On Sunday,
The Financial Secretary received a reminder from Guan Zu and issued a policy ahead of time to prohibit the transfer of funds.

International speculative capital: "…………"

They were completely silenced.

You're awesome!
I won't shift my positions, okay? I'll obediently accumulate shares, okay?

I'm impressed by your stubbornness!
……

In a flash,
Two more weeks have passed.

8 month 28 day.

Hong Kong stock market officially closed at 16 PM.

The Hang Seng Index was at 19941 points at this point, failing to reach 20000 points.

Next,
All eyes in Hong Kong are on the futures market.

The futures market on Hong Kong Island closes at 16:30 PM, which is half an hour later than the stock market closes.

International speculative funds from around the world are making their deals.

Their costs reached 60%.

They lost at least HK$1000 billion on Hong Kong Island, out of a total investment of over HK$600 billion.

Not only did they give back all the money they earned in Southeast Asia and South Korea, but they also gave back their principal.

This is the cruel reality of the futures market.

Win! Make a fortune!

We lost, we lost big time!

At this moment, more than 100 international media outlets from around the world have come to Hong Kong Island to witness this grand occasion.

One by one, representatives of international speculative capital forced smiles as they left the futures company.

They were all so poorly treated that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize them.

I'm almost out of money on my underwear.

At last,
As Rodney Jones walked out of the futures company, countless flashes illuminated his face.

Rodney Jones instinctively covered his eyes, looking quite embarrassed.

He recalled that a little over a year ago, he had arrived on Hong Kong Island with his team, full of confidence and ambition. At the reception, he was the center of attention, and back then, he had convinced all the businessmen in Hong Kong that they were optimistic about the future of Hong Kong Island, which was why they were investing there.

Looking back now, it seems I was the one who was fooled by Hong Kong Island.

This attack on Hong Kong Island will undoubtedly bankrupt the Soros Fund. What will become of the entire group? Will it still have a foothold on Wall Street? It's hard to say.

Rodney Jones adjusted to the bright light and looked out the door.

The traffic outside remained bustling, and a double-decker bus carrying cheering citizens drove by, the melody of "Pearl of the Orient" drifting from the window.

The evening sea breeze carried the cheers of distant citizens and the vibrant, bustling atmosphere.

everything,
everything,
Their distraught and dejected figures as they fled Hong Kong Island seemed completely out of place.

Hong Kong Island...

----------------

P.S.: This is a long chapter. I feel like I only need one more chapter to wrap it up. I'll write it and see.

(End of this chapter)
