"The bulls in Hong Kong stocks have already secured a certain share in the market. Even if the Hang Seng Index experiences a slight decline, it won't cause significant changes in the short term," Chen Dong said, rubbing his brow and gritting his teeth as he offered words of comfort.
"But..." Perhaps because of the Hang Seng Index's decline over the previous three months, the Hong Kong authorities are now very sensitive to index fluctuations. Du Xingzhi asked cautiously, "If we don't come up with meaningful measures for the slight decline in the Hang Seng Index, international hedge funds may take advantage of this small-scale drop."
Upon hearing Du Xingzhi's words, Chen Dong slightly raised his head and said, "Your concerns are indeed very reasonable."
"However, Longteng has already invested so much money, and we are not short of funds."
Chen Dong composed himself and deliberately said, "Let's first observe the market's reaction to this decline before devising a corresponding strategy."
Longteng did indeed suffer heavy losses in the process of rescuing the market. Du Xingzhi and Yang Fugui exchanged a glance and asked in tacit understanding, "Should we clarify the fact that Hong Kong did not interfere with the market?"
"Although the Monetary Authority invited private capital to support the market, strictly speaking, we did not manipulate the free economy."
Du Xingzhi continued, "We feel uncomfortable having such a big label pinned on our heads."
What they care about is the Hang Seng Index and Hong Kong's central position in the international financial field. Now that the Hang Seng Index has stabilized under the strong counterattack of the bulls, they naturally want to restore the reputation of the independence of the financial capital market.
"Let's wait quietly for now," Chen Dong advised earnestly. "International hedge funds clearly have backup plans. If someone in the Hong Kong authorities were to make a statement, it could affect the stock market."
"We can maintain our current offensive pace, and I believe things will improve soon."
Through their several collaborations with Chen Dong, the Monetary Authority and the Financial Secretary have gained a thorough understanding of Chen Dong's capabilities, so they genuinely trust him no matter what he says now.
After seeing off the two bigwigs, Yang Fugui and Du Xingzhi, Zhou Huimin and Annie appeared together in the office.
Chen Dong was still agonizing over when the Hong Kong authorities should clarify the situation without intervening in the free market when he suddenly saw the two beautiful women, which immediately distracted him.
"Mr. Chen, when exactly will international hedge funds leave Hong Kong?" Annie's voice was tinged with impatience.
Chen Dong glanced at Zhou Huimin, then at Annie, and quickly understood their purpose for coming.
However, he did not act rashly. Instead, he deliberately pretended to be innocent, saying, "There's still at least another six months."
"More than half a year?!" Annie and Vivian Chow exclaimed at the same time.
They had originally planned to tell Chen Dong everything after Hong Kong was out of crisis and discuss their upcoming marriage.
But after hearing Chen Dong announce the end date of the Hong Kong battlefield, the two of them fell silent.
Last year, Chen Dong said that he would get married at the end of the year, but at that time, a bird flu crisis broke out in Hong Kong. He then arranged for Ah Fang to purchase relief supplies around the world, saying that it was to prepare for the major floods in the mainland.
In June, the entire Yangtze River basin experienced a series of devastating floods, and Chen Dong personally went to the front lines of the rescue efforts to participate in the flood control work.
The floods in the mainland have now receded, and cities and towns in the Yangtze, Nenjiang and Songhua River basins that were severely damaged by the floods have entered the post-disaster reconstruction phase.
They thought Chen Dong would finally have time to get married, but now the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong is having problems again.
Chen Dong is the boss of Longteng. He not only has to bear the rise and fall of the company, but also has to shoulder social responsibility. He wanted to sell his mining assets without consulting Annie and Vivian Chow.
But what they longed for most was to become Chen Dong's bride.
This wish remained unfulfilled for a long time, causing Anne and Vivian Chow considerable distress.
Most importantly, Chen Dong's older sister, Chen Nan, and Chen Dong's family are also anxious to see them get married soon.
Since Chen Dong was away from Shenzhen all day, the pressure fell on Annie and Vivian Chow.
Especially for Vivian Chow, since the turmoil in the Hong Kong stock market, Huaxia Star, as an entertainment company, has been significantly affected by personnel changes, and several projects within the company have been delayed.
Several projects they undertook with their partner company did not go smoothly.
Due to various factors, Vivian Chow had long wanted to settle down and wanted to get married at this time.
As for Annie, she was obedient and would obediently accept whatever decision Chen Dong made.
"Boss, after the crisis in Hong Kong is over..." Annie gritted her teeth and asked cautiously, "Will you have time to hold a wedding?"
Chen Dong glanced at Annie and saw her flushed little face, looking pitiful.
"We'll see when the time comes. Who knows what unexpected things might happen after the Hong Kong crisis is over?"
After he finished speaking, he lowered his head, seemingly deep in thought.
For Annie and Vivian Chow, this was a polite way of saying no.
Thinking back to the last time, when Chen Dong lost contact with them during the massive flood, Annie and Vivian Chow endured a difficult month.
They were afraid that Chen Dong might do something extreme to avoid the wedding, so they didn't dare to push him too hard.
“It’s okay, we’ll wait for you,” Annie said humbly.
However, given Vivian Chow's personality, she could never say such a thing. She glared at Chen Dong and stormed out of the office.
