Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.

...

Chapter 582 I laughed so hard I almost choked, really!

The charity gala was held in Victoria Harbour, outdoors.

At 7:30 p.m., Xing Baohua and Xie Yingying arrived at the scene.

The two walked into the venue side by side, and Xing Baohua handed the invitation to the receptionist at the door.

Xie Yingying did not put her arm around the man's arm like the other female companions; although they were side by side, there was a certain distance between them.

After being led to my seat, I saw many familiar faces, all big shots in the business world.

The event hasn't officially started yet, so people can exchange ideas.

This is the only time these bigwigs can have a chance to exchange ideas, and they might just finalize a deal worth hundreds of millions in just a few words.

The Governor of Hong Kong arrived a few minutes before the auction began. He gave some empty words on stage and then left. At this moment, someone came up to Xing Baohua and whispered a few words to him before he left with Xie Yingying.

Since I had played golf with the Governor of Hong Kong before, we had met before, so I wasn't too reserved.

A luxury yacht was moored at the dock. It was very large and beautiful. Xing Baohua estimated that just one of these yachts was worth as much as an airplane.

Once aboard the yacht, the boat set sail.

This is a truly high-end gathering. If Xing Baohua isn't mistaken, this is full of some of Hong Kong's top tycoons.

Upon entering the yacht hall, I saw a dozen or so people holding wine glasses, chatting and laughing around the old Governor of Hong Kong.

I recognized quite a few people among them. There were also some unfamiliar foreigners who were chatting together.

After Xing Baohua entered, all eyes were on him and Xie Yingying.

Although Xie Yingying was beautiful, many people still looked at the big, burly man next to her.

The Governor smiled and beckoned to Xing Baohua, inviting him over. He then introduced several figures from Hong Kong's political circles.

Those who gather here are all people who are leaning towards the line of the Governor of Hong Kong.

He seemed much more relaxed while talking, and then introduced a few more foreigners.

Wow! I didn't know until I introduced them that they were all from ancient families of the Great Eagle, and some even held titles.

These people could decide the life or death of the Governor of Hong Kong with just a few words, so in this whole affair, the Governor only played the role of connecting the dots.

One of them is a representative of these ancient families, named Rodman, who is said to have some kinship with the royal family.

Xing Baohua moved funds between several banks, and the amount was so large that it was hard to ignore.

Moreover, the news has been released that this guy is planning to do some speculative business.

Most people enjoy this kind of risky speculation, but they wouldn't be interested in large-scale trade. However, speculation is different, and given Xing Baohua's past successes in Hong Kong and Wall Street, many people wanted to cooperate with him.

Therefore, an opportunity to get to know each other and cooperate was needed, which led to this meeting.

The information released by Xing Baohua has led many to speculate that he may be interested in the US pound, especially since his company's analysts and economic experts are helping him research the exchange rates of the US pound against the US dollar and the US dollar against the German mark.

But the group of eagle nobles who came today had nothing but eagle pounds and US dollars.

They wanted Xing Baohua to switch from electronic trading to spot trading. It was essentially the same game, except they would become the dealers with physical contracts.

Even if you want to use leverage, the dealer will match your leverage no matter how many times you multiply. Since the money is all in the bank anyway, the only hassle is specifying the buy and sell points in the contract.

Transferring electronic contracts to written form is troublesome, but it's also the most reliable and exciting way to gamble.

This money doesn't need to circulate in the foreign exchange market, but it still exists on paper.

As Rodman enthusiastically explained the cooperation plan, Xing Baohua listened to him. It boiled down to two points: one, a bet with them; two, jointly establishing a foreign exchange fund where Rodman would manage the operations, and receiving 20% ​​of the profits as a commission. If there were losses, Rodman would have to bear 50% of the losses.

To be honest, Xing Baohua didn't want to take either of these two offers.

If Xing Baohua doesn't accept the offer, they guarantee that Xing Baohua won't make any money this time, and they're even patting their chests in assurance.

Xing Baohua believes this. After all, some factors can be influenced by human intervention.

They can get the Bank of England to issue a single order, deciding how much interest rates will rise or fall. They can even get their country's leader to spout nonsense.

The foreign exchange market is generally not something that can be manipulated, but these people certainly can. They know the points Xing Baohua is using, whether he is shorting or going long.

Then they used their power to cause trouble.

Everyone knows that nine out of ten gamblers lose, and everyone knows that the dealers will cheat, but why do so many people still go there without fear of death?

So no matter what Xing Baohua did, it seemed like they could easily take advantage of him. Moreover, they had left themselves a way out: forming a foreign exchange fund with these old nobles.

Everyone is happy when they make money, and even if they lose money, these old nobles don't suffer much loss. It looks like they'll lose 50%, but in reality, they won't lose that much.

They're just manipulating you like that, and there's really nothing you can do unless you get angry and withdraw all your funds and quit.

But the interbank fees and real-time currency exchange rates will be enough to keep Xing Baohua busy. A small amount of money doesn't matter, but this is 10 billion US dollars.

Do you dare to take the risk? You'll lose seven or eight points in the process.

Rodman inherited the blood of his ancestors, the bloodthirstiness of bandits. The reason he brought so many nobles over was to clearly tell Xing Baohua, "I'm going to take a piece of your flesh."

Rodman patted Xing Baohua on the arm and said with a smile, "Partnering with us means creating wealth together."

"Indeed, Baron Rodman. Could you give me three days to consider this?"

“Sure, I can give you a week, no problem. I must say, you have excellent taste. Your date tonight is very beautiful,” Rodman said.
