Chen Dong noticed that the document was titled "Testimony," which must have been testimony obtained by the Hong Kong Police Department from a few of its underlings.
"How do the Hong Kong police plan to handle these matters?" Chen Dong asked Lin Zhiyuan with a gloomy face, "We have witnesses, we have the murderer, why haven't we arrested the mastermind behind it?"
Lin Zhiyuan sighed. In reality, that was all the information he had gotten from Xiang Huaqiang.
“Hong Kong police may have other concerns, after all, this case involves foreigners, so the entire chain of evidence, from witness testimonies and evidence to surveillance footage, must be complete.”
"Furthermore," Lin Zhiyuan said, looking around at everyone in the conference room, who all seemed indignant and eager to throw the mastermind behind the release of the infected chickens into the coop, "it's not just us. The Hong Kong authorities are also wondering if the mysterious outbreak of bird flu at Leofoo Hill is related to the international hedge funds' short-selling of the Hong Kong stock index."
"After all, these two things are too close together, which inevitably makes people suspicious."
When avian influenza breaks out, all sectors of society are drawn to the attention of the public. This is a convenient time for international hedge funds to quietly enter the stock market and accumulate shares in heavyweight sectors such as agriculture, forestry, fishery and animal husbandry.
"After the outbreak of bird flu in Hong Kong, local foreign trade shrank by 10% instantly. At that time, no matter what changes occurred in the stock market, people would think that bird flu was the culprit."
Chen Dong curled his lips into a smile, but couldn't laugh out loud. "They really will stop at nothing for money."
"Regardless of whether bird flu is related to international hedge funds, that's ultimately the police department's responsibility, not ours," Annie reminded everyone. "Our main focus right now should be on the Hong Kong stock index."
"Now, industries such as agriculture, forestry, fishery, animal husbandry, power utilities, textiles and clothing have seen an increase in sell orders and turnover rates. There is enough evidence to prove that this time, international hedge funds are not targeting the Hong Kong dollar, but the Hong Kong stock index."
After listening to Annie's analysis, everyone felt an immense, nameless pressure, as if they were descending from the sky.
If they were shorting the Hong Kong dollar, DragonPass and the Hong Kong authorities would simply need to follow the previous plan and absorb all the Hong Kong dollar sell orders in the Hong Kong market.
However, if they were to short the entire Hong Kong stock index, then the Hong Kong market-protecting forces—including Dragonlink, mainland Chinese companies, Hong Kong Chinese-owned institutions, commercial banks, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, and the Financial Secretary—couldn't possibly buy up the entire Hong Kong stock market.
Ma Guoliang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. "If they succeed in shorting the Hong Kong stock index, Hong Kong might have a chance to revive in the future, with the mainland as a safety net."
"After all, since the mainland opened up, the foreign exchange reserves we have have been able to buy up several Hong Kong stock markets."
At this point, he turned to look at Chen Dong, "Actually, my research team and I have a concern: we are afraid that our chances of winning against international hedge funds in this round are not high."
"If they succeed in shorting the stock index, the Hong Kong index will plummet without any bottom, just like the Thai baht before. If the two bigwigs in Hong Kong, the Chief Executive of the Monetary Authority, Mr. Du, and the Financial Secretary, Mr. Yang, both announce that they will abandon the currency market, then our long-term investment in Hong Kong will be nothing more than being taken advantage of."
His concerns are not unfounded. In fact, any experienced professional trader will leave himself a way out.
If Chen Dong hadn't had the experience of later generations, he might have really been constrained by Ma Guoliang's professional theories.
However, what gave Chen Dong a sense of security was not only his experiences in the future, but also his confidence in the Chinese mainland.
“Your concerns only show that you are taking this matter too lightly.” Chen Dong looked around at the senior executives attending the meeting.
Upon hearing this, the higher-ups all turned their attention to Chen Dong.
"Is there a deeper perspective on this matter?" Several senior executives raised this question.
Chen Dong smiled and said, "Which market would Soros attack repeatedly like this?"
"It has been less than a year since the last attack on the Hong Kong dollar by the Soros Group. Even if he wants to fleece the people, he has to wait until they have grown up before he can do so."
These words instantly sparked people's thinking.
"Then..." Ah Fang asked softly from a small corner, "When we were at the Xiangjiang braised food shop..."
He suddenly realized that he shouldn't have said such a thing in front of all the CEOs of Longteng.
Afang fell silent. Her experience at the braised food shop was with Chen Dong after he lost his memory. Now Chen Dong's memory had returned, and he was no longer a worker at the braised food shop, but the big boss of Longteng.
In front of everyone, Afang dared not mention their time at the braised food shop again.
“Just say what you want to say.” Chen Dong noticed that Afang was hesitant, so he encouraged her, “It’s okay, everyone at Longteng has the freedom to express themselves.”
Afang glanced at Annie cautiously before slowly saying, "When we were working together at the braised food shop, didn't Southeast Asia have a gold rush back then?"
“Before the gold rush, international speculative capital led by Soros had attacked places like Thailand, the Philippines, and Singapore,” Afang said, her voice rising after receiving an encouraging look from Chen Dong. “Why did you just say that they wouldn’t attack the same market in a short period of time?”
After joining Longteng, this young girl not only learned how to read the market, but also how to analyze the overall global market situation.
