North Finn Kingdom, Snow Lake Castle.
As usual, the three aging Glorious Society leaders sat on the rooftop terrace, drinking coffee and enjoying fresh fruit and snacks.
The three chatted and laughed while admiring the distant snow-capped mountains and lake views.
At that moment, a man in his fifties, who looked like a butler, hurried over and handed Philip a satellite phone:
"Master, it's a call from Switzerland, it's from Sorosi," the butler said.
"Hmm? Sorosi? That guy hasn't called in a while, could something important have happened?"
Philip took the phone and said softly.
Although the voice was soft, it was still heard by the two Radiant Society leaders next to him.
"It's Sorosi! Philip, answer the phone and hear what he has to say!"
"Yes, isn't that matter in Asia going well?"
Rothschild and Lucius each said something.
Philip nodded and brought the phone closer to his ear:
"Huh?"
"Greetings, Your Excellency Philip, I am Sorosi."
"Oh? It's Xiao Suo. What's up?"
"Lord Philip, we're in trouble!"
On the other end of the phone, Sorosi sounded a little anxious, which was unusual for his usual calm and collected demeanor.
Philip was puzzled and asked, "If something can cause you trouble, it must be something important. Tell me about it."
"It's like this, Mr. Philip, our harvesting plan in Hong Kong Island has encountered a massive financial blockade!"
"How huge is this amount of money?"
Sorosi found it hard to believe; any opponent in the world that could make the head of the Quantum Fund nervous must be extraordinary.
"My Lord Philip, their investment in the stock market within 20 minutes of opening exceeded HK$220 billion, approaching US$30 billion!"
"so much?"
"Yes, and they also used HK$100 billion to simultaneously buy long Hang Seng Index futures..."
"This is indeed quite troublesome. Who is this opponent? Did the Hong Kong government use its foreign exchange reserves?"
"It has nothing to do with the Hong Kong government. The one blocking us is a local Hong Kong fund that was only established a year ago: Dragon Scale Fund."
"Dragon Scale Fund? Have you investigated its background?"
“I’ve checked. This fund is very mysterious and has a complicated background. It involves at least 20 companies. The person in charge of the Dragon Scale Fund is called Zhan Yinglong.”
"Zhan Yinglong? Never heard of him."
"Sir Philip, this man named Zhan Yinglong is known as the stock market god of Hong Kong. He has some skills, but of course, he is not worthy of your attention. However, it is said that he is not the real boss behind the Dragon Scale Fund."
"Oh? Then who is the real boss?"
"It's Lin Dong!"
"What? You mean... Lin Dong from the Dragon Gang?!"
"That's right, it's him!"
Philip switched the phone to his other ear: "This is no small matter. Little Solo, wait a minute and call back in 10 minutes."
After saying that, he hung up the call.
......
“Philip, you’re all talking too loudly, who can’t hear you?” Lucius said. “Little So is in trouble? Was it Lin Dong who did it?”
Philip shook his head: "He didn't do it, but he's definitely involved. He founded the Dragon Scale Foundation."
"What do you plan to do?" Lucifer asked. "Should we let Solo continue? Or are we prepared to concede?"
“Lose? What are you talking about, Lucisoth? It’s not over yet, the outcome is still uncertain!” Philip retorted.
"Judging from Xiao Su's report just now, the strength of this Dragon Scale Fund should not be underestimated."
"It is a bit troublesome, that's why I'm discussing it with you two now."
“Philip, you want to use the Glorious Society’s reserve funds?” Rothschild asked. “Have you thought about the consequences?”
"Mr. Rothschild, the battle in Hong Kong is crucial to the perfect conclusion of the Black Storm Plan."
Philip hesitated for a moment, then said:
"The Quantum Fund has already invested more than $30 billion in this project. If we fail, all our previous victories in other parts of Asia will be for naught!"
"Moreover, the long-planned second phase of the Asian black storm may also be affected."
"The most likely scenario is that we will have to bring the entire plan forward because of this..."
Rothschild sighed softly, "You're right, but... this time our enemy is Lin Dong, so we have to be careful."
“Mr. Rothschild is right. Besides the reserve funds, what other cards do we have to play?” Lucison reminded him.
"Yes, they exist, but they're not big enough..."
Philip pondered:
"Recently, we have invested most of our open liquidity in other parts of Asia, using $120 billion just to profit from island nations!"
"This happened so suddenly. We only anticipated that the Hong Kong government might use its foreign exchange reserves, but we never imagined that such a powerful force would emerge!"
Lucisoz shuddered, as if he had suddenly thought of something terrible:
"If at this point, Hong Kong announces the use of its foreign exchange reserves to rescue the market..."
Philip's expression changed drastically: "That's terrible, the consequences are unimaginable!"
"Don't overthink it, Philip, just do it your way," Rothschild concluded. "No matter what, we can't afford to lose this battle in Hong Kong!"
"I understand, Mr. Rothschild!"
