Instead, he had a sudden inspiration and came up with another idea.
If foreign companies come to China to acquire businesses, then they should go to the United States to acquire their company stock!
Companies like Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, and Walmart may seem to have high stock prices now, but compared to their later market capitalization of hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars, they are just a drop in the ocean.
Buy, buy, buy!
You can go ahead and make acquisitions all over the Chinese market, while I'll go to your US stock market to buy stocks, become your major shareholder, and earn tens or even hundreds of times the profit in the future.
...
And so, time, like a rushing river, finally flowed to that year that haunted the dreams of all Chinese people and made all the financial tycoons sharpen their knives—1997.
This year, two major events occurred for the Chinese people.
The first event was July 1st, the day the Bauhinia flower bloomed and Hong Kong returned to China.
Those who have been away from home have finally returned, and the whole country is overjoyed, welcoming our Hong Kong compatriots back into the embrace of the motherland.
The second event was the Asian financial crisis that swept across Asia and exposed the "Four Asian Tigers" to their true colors.
In June, the air on Hong Kong Island is filled with humidity and restlessness.
Although the handover is imminent and red flags are hung everywhere, the atmosphere in the skyscrapers of Central is extremely tense for those working in the financial industry.
George Soros, a major international speculator, and his Quantum Fund are like a pack of bloodthirsty wolves, having already completely torn apart the financial systems of Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia this year.
Now, they are crouching at the entrance of Victoria Harbour, their eerie green eyes fixed on the Hong Kong dollar, preparing to launch their final and most frenzied attack!
The top floor of Landmark Tower.
This place is now the headquarters of several of Lam Fau Wong's groups, and it is also the cornerstone of the entire Hong Kong Island business community.
The enormous conference room was filled with Hong Kong's top tycoons. Li Ka-shing, Cheng Sha-dan, the Kwok brothers, Fok Chun-ting... these bigwigs, who could usually shake Hong Kong with a stomp of their feet, were all now pale-faced and anxious.
"Mr. Kobayashi, Soros has started selling Hong Kong dollars!"
Li Jiacheng put down the phone, his face grim, and said, "I just received news that they've established massive short positions in the foreign exchange market, and at the same time, they're aggressively shorting the Hang Seng Index in the stock market! This is a double whammy! They want to turn Hong Kong into an ATM!"
"Yes! Interest rates have already soared to 300%! The stock market has crashed! People are panicking! If we don't start a bailout soon, decades of Hong Kong's wealth will be wiped out!"
A crisis is brewing...
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on the man sitting in the head seat.
Lin Huowang.
Or, in Hong Kong Island, he was called Kobayashi Tenmo.
At this time, he was nearly forty years old.
Thinking back to when he first came to Hong Kong Island to make his way in the world, it was twenty years ago. With his book "Dragon Jump", Lam Fook-wong quickly gained a foothold in Hong Kong Island.
Today, he has become the mastermind behind these bigwigs in Hong Kong, and the true financial emperor of Hong Kong.
"Everyone, what's the panic?"
Lin Huowang put down his teacup and said calmly, "Soros? He's just an old speculator. Does he think that just because he defeated a few small Southeast Asian countries, he can come and take over our Chinese territory?"
"Doesn't he even know who's backing Hong Kong Island?"
Lin Huowang reassured everyone without mincing words, saying:
"I have already received a call from Beijing."
"There's only one sentence from above—defend at all costs!"
"The country's foreign exchange reserves, plus the hundreds of billions of US dollars that my various funds have earned from Japan and the United States over the years, are now all in place!"
"Soros wants to short sell?"
Lin Huowang suddenly turned around and bluntly declared:
"Then I'll let him do it! I'll take as many as there are!"
"I'll buy as many Hong Kong dollars as he dumps! I'll pump up the Hang Seng Index as much as he shorts!"
"In this battle, I will make him spit out all the profits he's made in Southeast Asia, with interest, right here in Hong Kong!"
"I want him to know—Chinese money is hot potato!!"
"good!!"
The bigwigs present were immediately ignited with fighting spirit by Lin Huowang's domineering words.
With the government backing them up and this unfathomable "God of Wealth" leading the way, what are they afraid of?
"I'll go too! I'll bring out all the cash I have!"
"I'll go too! I'll fight these foreign devils to the death!"
...
In the following two months, Hong Kong Island immediately became the epicenter of the global financial crisis.
This was an extremely fierce battle between bulls and bears.
As the Soros Group frantically sold off its holdings, the Hong Kong government and Lam Fok-wong's funds rushed to buy them up.
The Hang Seng Index is like a roller coaster, going up and down, with billions of dollars evaporating or changing hands every second.
That's how it is in the financial battlefield; no matter how much money you have, it's just numbers flashing on a screen.
Moreover, when the amount of capital reaches a certain level, even withdrawing from the battlefield becomes a luxury.
August 28th.
The moment of decisive battle has arrived.
Soros used all his strength to gather his last funds and launched a final attack on the entire financial system of Hong Kong Island.
In the trading hall, the shouts of bidders were deafening, and everyone was staring at the large red screen.
Lin Huowang sat in the command center, holding the phone that connected directly to the Financial Supervisory Commission, and said in a calm tone:
