Seeing that he had left, Chen Dong also felt it was pointless, so he handed the sign in his hand back to Annie, saying, "You can handle it yourself. I'm going out for a bit."
After leaving the auction hall, Chen Dong went to the corridor and actually saw Cyber.
“Mr. Cyber,” Dong said, feigning surprise, “I never expected to run into you at a charity gala.”
He didn't say that without reason. Although Cyber followed Soros, he wasn't as high-profile as Soros. In fact, he was very low-key in the financial field.
"Mr. Chen," Cyber greeted him politely, "Long time no see."
Chen Dong smiled and walked closer to him. "It seems that international hedge funds have left the Korean won market, otherwise you wouldn't be so leisurely attending Li Ka-shing's charity dinner."
“You don’t need to test me,” Cyber said bluntly. “I’m a partner at Asian Investment Bank Capital. What international hedge funds do has nothing to do with me.”
"Really no relation? Then what is your relationship with Soros?" Chen Dong asked sarcastically.
Soros and international hedge funds are inextricably linked, and this Cyber claims to be Soros's teacher, so people in the financial industry will naturally associate Cyber with international hedge funds.
"As far as I know, Mr. Cyber is a former partner of Yellow River Capital. When Soros led international hedge funds to dump Hong Kong stocks, Yellow River Capital was the front man for the international hedge funds."
Chen Dong's face was cold, and he exuded an aura that kept strangers at bay. "So, who did the international hedge funds hire to act as fronts when they attacked Hong Kong's four major sectors of agriculture, forestry, fisheries, and animal husbandry this time?"
This is certainly not the issue; rather, it's Chen Dong's satire of Cyber, reflecting his position as a former partner of Yellow River Capital.
Regardless, Yellow River Capital is also an investment company in Hong Kong.
Cyber dragged Yellow River Capital into this mess, and now Yellow River Capital has lost the trust of the Hong Kong government. From this perspective, Cyber has indeed been somewhat unfair to Yellow River Capital.
"Yellow River Capital has about ten partners. Their decision to short the Hong Kong dollar was their own. What does it have to do with me?" Cyber said this to distance himself from the matter.
"What a ruthless capitalist," Chen Dong commented.
"Thank you for the compliment." Saibo raised his eyes and saw that someone was chasing after Chen Dong, so he left with a sullen face.
"Brother Dong."
Chen Dong turned around and was somewhat surprised to see that it was HSBC's CEO, Li Xiaoman. He hadn't expected that Li Ka-shing had even invited someone from HSBC.
"How have you been lately?" Chen Dong asked in his usual routine.
Li Xiaoman pursed her lips and said, "It's alright. After the Southeast Asian financial crisis, the currency depreciated a lot, and HSBC transferred its assets to other places, which prevented our company's assets from shrinking too much."
Hearing this, Chen Dong felt secretly pleased. HSBC's reputation in China wasn't great to begin with, and the reason he had a relationship with Li Xiaoman was because of Li Xiaoman herself, not because of HSBC.
"I heard that you spent over 10 billion US dollars to purchase relief supplies a while ago?" Li Xiaoman asked with concern.
Chen Dong nodded, casually pulled a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and took a serious drag.
“If there’s anything I can do to help, just come to me.” Li Xiaoman knew that with Longteng’s current strength, even if they needed working capital, there was no need to ask HSBC for help. However, she still looked at Chen Dong with some anticipation. “HSBC’s business in Southeast Asia is going very smoothly. We have influence there.”
"Thank you very much then." Chen Dong didn't want to completely cut off all avenues of communication.
After all, June is approaching in China, and floods are imminent. He not only needs relief supplies, but also a large sum of cash for insurance.
"What do you, Longteng, need to purchase these supplies for?" Li Xiaoman asked curiously.
Chen Dong shook his head. "We made a lot of money in the Korean won market before, so much money we didn't know what to do with it. At that time, we heard from somewhere that international hedge funds were preparing to attack the Hong Kong stock market again."
"In order to prevent my assets from shrinking, I had no choice but to use foreign exchange to invest in real industries."
He deliberately didn't want to reveal his purpose to Li Xiaoman, not because he didn't trust her, but because he didn't trust HSBC.
