"The devaluation of Southeast Asian currencies means a decline in the competitiveness of mainland China's foreign trade, and our market is very likely to be taken over by Southeast Asian companies."
Compared to Wang Cai and Ma Guoliang, who focused on Hong Kong's financial and stock markets, Chen Dong was more focused on Hong Kong's overall development strategy.
"The mainland and Hong Kong face the same predicament. If Hong Kong wants to rise up amidst a region of economic downturn, it must seek external support."
Chen Dong looked around the office, but no one understood what he was saying.
He smiled and said, "Europe and Asia have been dragged into Soros's mess one after another, and now the Americas are still being supported by the United States. So, who is the external force we can seek?"
There are only a few major economic regions in the world. Besides the ones Chen Dong mentioned, aren't there only Australia and Africa left?
Anne thought for a moment, then tentatively asked, "You're not thinking of... going after Africa, are you?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned their attention to Chen Dong.
"Africa?!"
"No way?!"
They wouldn't normally show such surprise in front of their boss, but this strategy in Africa really shocked them.
Chen Dong smiled helplessly, "There's no need to think that far ahead. The Middle East is enough."

After his reminder, Lin Zhiyuan realized, "You mean the oil mines in Saudi Arabia?"

It was rare for Lin Zhiyuan to say something so insightful and visionary. Annie, Wangcai, and Ma Guoliang all looked at him with approval.
"Don't worry, as long as the Soros Group is willing to leave a way out for the Hong Kong stock market, I don't necessarily have to go down with them."
Seeing that they were still nervous, Chen Dong comforted them, "But we are far from that point yet, so please rest assured. If that day really comes, I will definitely find a way to cash out our assets in the Middle East."
Everyone hadn't initially thought the matter was too serious, but after hearing Chen Dong's statement, Wangcai and Ma Guoliang's expressions turned rather grim.
“If it really comes to that, the Hong Kong stock market will be beyond saving. Why would we take such a huge risk and risk Longteng’s assets to fight Soros?” Ma Guoliang asked.
