So, where did such a large amount of short-selling funds come from?
This is clearly not a huge sum of money that an individual or a small group could easily raise.
Besides the well-known short-selling institutions active in the international market, it's hard not to suspect that there might be some domestic forces operating behind the scenes.
Otherwise, why would such a massive influx of funds flow into the Hang Seng Stock Exchange every day, attempting to create a colossal wave in this financial ocean?
Miss Shen already had some guesses in her heart, and a familiar figure couldn't help but appear in her mind—her best friend Wen Xi.
Wenxi is quite well-known in the industry, running a sizable money exchange and controlling a large amount of highly liquid funds.
These funds are like giant pythons lurking in the shadows, ready to strike at any moment and bring unexpected shocks to the market.
Miss Shen pondered to herself, if the funds of these money shops were borrowed by some people with ulterior motives and used to short the stock market, wouldn't that constitute an important source of funds for short selling?
Such speculation is not unfounded. After all, in the financial market, the lure of profit is enough to make many people take risks, even at the cost of crossing the legal line.
Therefore, Ms. Shen believes it is necessary to involve the authorities in this matter and conduct a thorough investigation.
After all, the stability of the financial market is crucial to the lifeline of the national economy and cannot tolerate any carelessness or negligence.
The investigation is actually not complicated. By following the flow of funds and investigating each case one by one, we can uncover the masterminds behind the scenes.
The Shen family, once a powerful and influential family in the business world, has suffered an unprecedented blow in this stock market turmoil.
The stock market's massive fluctuations acted like an invisible hand, tightly gripping the Shen family's throat, causing this once-glorious family to become listless and seemingly on the verge of falling into an abyss of no return.
Faced with such a grim situation, the entire Shen family was filled with anxiety and their worries were palpable.
If this continues, the Shen family may really face bankruptcy, and the wealth and reputation accumulated over generations will be destroyed in an instant.
At this critical moment, the authorities also realized the seriousness of the problem and quickly intervened in the investigation of funds, trying to find the mastermind behind the stock market turmoil.
However, the results of the investigation were not satisfactory.
Most of the related funds come from overseas, and the complex web of funds is difficult to trace and understand.
This brought the investigation to a standstill, leaving the Shen family and other victims feeling deeply helpless and desperate.
Nevertheless, the authorities have not given up their efforts.
They discovered that among the many short-selling institutions, one had quietly changed its stance, switching from shorting to going long and siding with the authorities.
This is undoubtedly a positive sign, indicating that not all institutions are at odds with the authorities.
However, the authorities are powerless against overseas institutions that continue to short sell, because their operations often cross national borders, making them difficult to effectively regulate and crack down on.
When the disheartening result was told to the Shen family, a resolute glint flashed in Miss Shen's eyes. She knew all too well that if they continued to sit and wait for their doom, the Shen family would have no chance of recovery.
So, she resolutely left home and decided to meet her best friend, Wenxi, in person.
In Miss Shen's heart, Wen Xi has always been a trustworthy friend.
However, during this stock market turmoil, Wenxi's money shop became the object of her suspicion.
Miss Shen wanted to personally verify with Wen Xi to see if it was really Wen Xi who stabbed the Shen family in the back.
If that's the case, then she must demand a reasonable explanation.
Victoria Harbour, this dazzling pearl set in the heart of Hong Kong, attracts the attention of the world with its unparalleled beauty and prosperity.
As night falls and the city lights come on, the sea sparkles, reflecting the dazzling lights of the skyscrapers on both banks, creating a breathtakingly beautiful, flowing painting.
Beside this dreamlike landscape stands a towering skyscraper, its glass curtain wall shimmering brilliantly in the night, like a lighthouse in the urban jungle, guiding those returning home.
Hidden on one floor of this building is an internationally renowned upscale Western restaurant called "Sky Lounge".
The restaurant's interior is luxurious yet elegant, with soft lighting filtering through exquisite crystal chandeliers, creating a dreamy and warm atmosphere that complements the dazzling night view outside the windows.
Several abstract art paintings hung on the wall, adding an artistic touch to the space.
A pristine white tablecloth lay on the dining table, where silverware and porcelain gleamed in harmony, every detail revealing an ultimate pursuit of quality living.
At this moment, by the window in this Western restaurant, a woman dressed in a simple dress sat quietly; this was Wen Xi. Her attire appeared casual, yet it revealed an indescribable intellectual beauty.
A simple white dress, its hem swaying gently, exudes both feminine grace and a sense of competence and independence.
Her hair was casually tied up, with a few stray strands falling gently beside her cheeks, adding to her gentle and graceful aura.
Her eyes were clear and deep, as if they could see into people's hearts. A faint smile played on her lips, making her appear both approachable and distant.
Wenxi's gaze kept drifting out the window, where the night view of Victoria Harbour was like a flowing painting, breathtakingly beautiful.
However, she felt a little uneasy, because she knew that her good friend, Miss Shen, would be coming to see her in person today.
Miss Shen's every appearance is like the brightest star in the night sky, impossible to ignore.
This time, Miss Shen's visit was clearly not just a simple reunion, but had a more important purpose.
Finally, the tranquility of the restaurant was broken by the crisp sound of high heels, and Miss Shen slowly entered.
She wore a pristine white coat, its cut perfectly accentuating her graceful figure, while the dress she wore underneath further highlighted her elegance and nobility.
Her steps were light and confident, each one seemingly telling the world that she was the center of attention.
Miss Shen wore a charming smile, but there was a hidden meaning in that smile, as if she had already seen through everything.
"Long time no see. I thought you were stationed in the mainland now." Miss Shen walked up to Wen Xi, her voice gentle and magnetic, but with a hint of sharpness in her words.
