Because their cars were all parked in front of the braised food shop, Chen Dong could only walk through the front entrance of the shop after leaving the backyard.
A large group of people came out from inside, and Uncle Er was stunned by the sight.
"Who are you?" Uncle stopped them and asked.
Uncle Long hurriedly ran to the front of the group and blocked his second uncle, saying, "Don't cause trouble."
"Hey! Isn't this Xiao Lu?" Uncle Er looked at the young man in the group who was holding a girl's hand.
At this moment, Chen Dong recognized his second uncle and bowed his head to instruct Lin Zhiyuan, "You go out with them first, I'll be there in a bit."
Uncle still didn't know what had happened. He warmly went over and took Xiao Lu's hand, saying:
"You disappeared for two months, and now you're back all dressed up. Did you make some money?"
His frivolous attitude surprised both Vivian Chow and Annie.
"Yeah, you made a fortune!" Chen Dong said jokingly. "Second Uncle, I told you to sell those gold stocks before, but you didn't buy any more, did you?"
"Of course not, I'll listen to you."
After saying that, the second uncle complained with some annoyance, "But I did lose a lot of money on that gold. Later, the Hong Kong stock market surged, which was bad news, so I didn't buy any."
"Luckily, I didn't have the money to buy Hong Kong dollar futures, otherwise I would have been swindled by that guy Soros again."
"Xiao Lu," his second uncle noticed a lot of cars outside and turned to ask him, "You just got back and you're already getting ready to leave?"
Chen Dong couldn't maintain a serious demeanor in front of his second uncle. He joked, "Isn't this making a lot of money? I'm too busy."
My second uncle works at a bank and has seen many wealthy people, but this is the first time he has ever seen someone with the airs of a rich man like Chen Dong.
However, he kept his mouth shut and knew what he should and shouldn't ask.
"Oh, right, I'm in a hurry to get back and take care of some things, so I won't keep you company. We'll be going now." Chen Dong reminded his second uncle, "I had someone leave gifts for you, Uncle Long, and Aunt Cui. Remember to accept them."
"Okay, I got it."
After exchanging a few words, Chen Dong left immediately.
More than a dozen cars came and went in a grand procession, it was truly impressive.
The bald man didn't care about Chen Dong's identity at all, but said with some regret, "It seems this young man is rich. We won't be able to meet him again."
These words were quickly met with ridicule from his friends.
The bald man took his tea, snacks, and drinks and sat down at another table, ignoring them.
Chen Dong's sudden departure was due to Soros's new moves in Southeast Asia.
"Soros bought 18 trillion Indonesian rupiah in Southeast Asia, worth $5 billion," Lin Zhiyuan said.
"Because the Indonesian rupiah was purchased in small batches, and their methods were quite secretive, it took us until now to find out where the funds went."
Because they needed to discuss serious matters, Chen Dong specifically arranged for Zhou Huimin to be in another car.
Only Lin Zhiyuan and Wangcai were in the car.
Chen Dong said with a solemn expression, "Is Indonesia Soros's next target?"
"I don't know. Soros's international hedge fund quickly liquidated its positions after launching a major offensive in the Hong Kong stock market."
Lin Zhiyuan continued, "This time, in addition to the money they lost on chips, they also lost money fighting against the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's dumping of shares. Soros can be said to have reaped a considerable number of profits from the bulls in the Hong Kong market."
"Later, Soros made an emergency retreat, and many international speculators who followed him were unable to close their positions in time. Now they've lost everything and are pointing fingers at Soros and cursing him!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Dong couldn't help but scoff: "The stock market is risky. If they're willing to follow Soros in shorting the Hong Kong dollar, they should realize that they're just pawns on someone else's chessboard."
How is the Hong Kong stock market doing?
Lin Zhiyuan thought for a moment and used four words to describe it: "Calm and peaceful."
"Currently, the Dow Jones Industrial Average in New York is performing exceptionally well, while other stock markets are more or less influenced by the Hong Kong stock market."
"Among them, the United Kingdom was most affected because the British pound and the Hong Kong dollar were once closely linked, and the original Hong Kong government had also had fiscal policy agreements with the United Kingdom's top officials."
"Hong Kong is too closely tied to the United States. Although Hong Kong has returned to China, many of its businesses still maintain close ties with the United States, so it is inevitable that they will be affected."
The exchange rate of the British pound against the US dollar has fallen sharply, and the value of the US dollar has risen, resulting in a significant depreciation of the pound.
"Furthermore," Lin Zhiyuan said, his expression growing increasingly grave, "there's news from Europe... I don't know where it came from, but it's said that the Swiss government, under financial pressure, has had to release a large amount of gold to alleviate the domestic deflation."
"Financial pressure?" Chen Dong asked doubtfully. "Switzerland's currency is directly tied to gold, making it one of the few countries in the world that still practices the gold standard."
"Gold prices are stable, currencies are tied to gold, and prices are rarely affected by other financial markets."
He looked at Lin Zhiyuan and asked, "Why would Switzerland be under financial pressure?"
Lin Zhiyuan shook his head. "I don't know where this news came from."
"However, the tactic of hyping up Switzerland's upcoming gold release is all too familiar."
Upon hearing Lin Zhiyuan's reminder, Chen Dong quickly recalled the gold rush that had swept through Southeast Asia.
At the time, Sino-Ocean Bank, which was also a member of Soros' hedge fund, issued a statement beforehand saying that it would release one ton of gold in Southeast Asia.
