Du Xingzhi chuckled twice and continued, "Advisor Xu is indeed very knowledgeable and insightful. We only have a superficial understanding of the world market, but Advisor Xu knows so much about the famous figures and anecdotes in the world currency market with ease."
“Hehe,” Xu Jing adjusted his glasses, “They’re just rumors circulating in the streets, half true and half false.”
"Director Yang," Du Xingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, "it turns out that Chen Dong is not only not on the side of the international speculators, but also their old adversary."
“I think this time, it’s necessary for us to join forces with him.”

"That's why we both felt that, regardless of whether this person is a member of the international speculators or not, we should try to win him over to our side." Du Xingzhi said somewhat awkwardly, "Actually, Chen Dong gave us some conditions yesterday."
"What are the conditions?"
"The condition is... he wants to meet with the Chief Executive in person. He said that if the Hong Kong government is unwilling to give up the title of free port, he can act as the Hong Kong government's hand in intervening in the market."
