Their currency speculation activities, after all, must take into account the market economy and the political implications.

"Therefore, the mainland government has been keeping a close eye on Hong Kong's financial market during this period."

“Our every move may be under their surveillance.”

It seems that the Hong Kong and Southeast Asian markets are completely different, and they can no longer use the same approach they are familiar with, such as rapid attacks to seize the market.

Lucy said coquettishly, "What we do in Southeast Asia is none of China's business, but if we put our hands in China's pockets, they will definitely fight back."

"China's vast market means that even if a financial crisis breaks out in Hong Kong, their support can effectively mitigate the impact of the crisis."

The core of the conflict now is that if they want to strike at Hong Kong, they must take over the Hong Kong money market before Chinese capital can come to the rescue.

Soros frowned and said, "Let the Hong Kong market fluctuate for a while, let the smoke of war from Southeast Asia drift over Hong Kong for a bit."

"We'll enter when they've all let their guard down."

Hong Kong today is in a state of fear, with the media stirring up trouble domestically and overseas investment companies eyeing it covetously from abroad.

The four major families are all selling off their properties, and the stock market is in a slump.

Li Ka-shing used his influence to host a small discussion at his home, inviting members of the other three major families to participate.

He specially invited financial experts, as well as many researchers and scholars from all over the world, to analyze and discuss the consequences of the Southeast Asian crisis spreading to Hong Kong.

"A credit crisis is inevitable after the financial storm."

"The crux of the current dilemma is that the Southeast Asian financial crisis has further triggered a credit crisis. Should we abandon the banks or fully support them?" Li Ka-shing said.

The attendees at the meeting had their own agendas; some wanted to protect their own interests and sacrifice the market to maintain Hong Kong's stability.

Some people are willing to sacrifice their own pockets to preserve a stable Hong Kong market.

In reality, both ideas are nothing more than protecting their own interests in Hong Kong. They have been entrenched in Hong Kong for many years, and their relationship with Hong Kong is one of mutual benefit and loss.

However, there is a third idea: to be ready to run away at any time.

Cash, foreign exchange, real estate, bonds—as long as they transfer their assets to a safer place, they have no worries.

However, these four things are the most essential resources to influence Hong Kong's financial policies. The four major families control enormous wealth, and their every move affects the stability of Hong Kong's market.

Li Ka-shing invited them to the meeting mainly to reassure them and prevent them from making any rash moves.

At the meeting, Li Ka-shing fully exchanged views with the other three major families. On the surface, the three families agreed to stay in Hong Kong and would not leave for the time being.

However, Li Jiacheng was still worried. After the meeting ended, he returned to the villa and immediately sent more people to contact Chen Dong.

Chen Dong is the owner of a mainland company. Li Ka-shing contacted him in the hope that Chen Dong would act as a go-between between him and high-ranking officials in the mainland.

He wanted to know what the mainland really thought about Hong Kong.

After all, although Hong Kong has a huge amount of foreign exchange reserves, it is difficult for Hong Kong to cope with this crisis on its own, given the aggressive approach of George Soros, the international speculative capital behind him, and international funds.

For the past six months, Longteng has never stopped searching for Chen Dong.

Li Ka-shing sent people to inquire about the news several times, which caused quite a stir in the Longteng Group, which had already entered a normalized operation phase.

Yulia snapped out of her reverie and realized that Chen Dong had been missing for quite some time.

“Anne, prepare the materials for the next meeting,” Yulia instructed.

Anne hesitated for a moment before stepping forward and saying, "I'm afraid you won't have time to oversee Longteng Group anymore."

Yulia looked up from a pile of documents and asked, "What happened?"

“I just received a call from Russia. Soros, representing international speculative capital, has launched an attack on Russia’s financial system,” Anne replied.

"So sudden?!" Yulia exclaimed in disbelief.

Previously, the news media were all saying that Soros's next target was Hong Kong, but this man turned around and pointed his gun at Russia!

"Our military industry has been severely impacted. People from Russia, please go back and stabilize the rear."

Lin Zhiyuan took a long breath. "Why are they pulling this stunt again?"

"Another Freemason?"

Ever since Chen Dong disappeared, Long Teng has been tricked by the Freemasons several times, and now Lin Zhiyuan is getting impatient whenever the Freemasons are mentioned.

The Russian domestic financial market was already showing signs of a downturn.

Soros led a group of international speculative capital to attack the already sluggish financial markets.

Politically, the surrounding neighbors are experiencing ongoing internal strife, and this military uprising is large-scale and has continued for more than a month without stopping.

Economically, it faces external attacks, and politically, it is plagued by internal strife from its neighbors.

Yulia held a conference call from the Dragon office, which connects to the Russian branch office.

She needs to discuss in detail with his management team in Russia how to deal with the Freemasons' continued financial attacks.

“What exactly happened?” Julia asked.

The person on the phone replied, "Some private equity funds entered our financial market without warning, and they used leverage to drive up the price of government bonds."

"Domestic fuel prices rose by two levels within a few days. As soon as the other party entered the market, they placed a large order of 30,000 lots. They went long, and we went short."

"Now that fuel prices are rising in our country and the cost of living is soaring, people's money is becoming less valuable."

On the other end of the phone was a conference room, where many people began to discuss the matter animatedly.

"The opening price of oil has already been pushed to the market peak, and judging from this trend, it seems that they will continue to push the price up."

Yulia paused for two minutes and asked, "How much inventory do we have? Is there any way to sell it all before the market closes?"

The conference room on the other end of the phone went silent instantly.

"I understand," Yulia sighed.

Then she began to raise questions: "Why did Russia just stand by and watch the situation escalate to an uncontrollable point when it could have solved the problem simply by adjusting its economic policies?"

Someone in the meeting room explained, "There's another military conflict breaking out among our neighbors."

"The political situation in the surrounding areas is currently unstable, and this aspect has been taken into consideration when the government adjusts economic policies."

Yulia has established a considerable military industrial base in Russia, and it cannot be left unattended.

Now, both the company's top management and the Russian intelligence team are demanding that Yulia return to Russia.
