Ning Yuan's pupils suddenly contracted, and the 1998 financial crisis that almost destroyed the Asian economy in her previous life flashed through her mind!
The international short sellers, led by the Soros Quantum Fund, are like a swarm of greedy locusts.
Wherever they went, chaos ensued, with unemployment, stock market crashes, asset devaluation, and bankruptcies being the least of the consequences.
Many Asian countries have been driven to near bankruptcy!
The Hong Kong dollar is a key target for them!
She remembered clearly whose strength was ultimately relied upon to stabilize the situation in that thrilling financial defense battle!
But it's only 1982!
Sixteen years were still to come before that financial catastrophe!
The mainland has only recently opened up, and its economy is still developing. How could those greedy international capitalist wolves be so impatient as to start using such despicable means to test and attack us?!
It's simply because the Hong Kong government, as one of the financial centers in the Far East, is very attractive.
How could a jackal bear to return the pearl it had stolen to its master!
A cold flame ignited in Ning Yuan's clear eyes: "These trash, they can't change their nature!"
In the 1950s, Korea, armed with millet and rifles, still managed to take on 17 countries, defeating them so thoroughly that they dared not engage in hot wars for decades.
Now that foreigners are afraid of being attacked, they dare not easily wage hot war, so they launch financial and tariff attacks at the drop of a hat.
If a hot war is a physical attack, then a financial war is a magical attack.
She turned to the deputy factory manager beside her and instructed him in a deep voice: "Old Zhang, keep a close eye on the factory, especially on security and confidentiality. There can be no mistakes. Pay special attention to those foreign engineers! The mainland government is different from the Hong Kong government. Don't let these foreign guests cause trouble."
The deputy factory director's surname is Zhang. He is the former factory director of the Hong Kong government electronics factory that was acquired by Ning Yuan. He is over fifty years old and has a wealth of experience.
He immediately straightened his back: "Don't worry, Miss Seven! I will take good care of the factory! You can go and handle the important matters!"
Just kidding, his retirement pension depends on this factory!
Ning Yuan nodded, said no more, and left the cleanroom with Pei Shan. They changed their clothes, got in the car, and headed straight for the municipal government compound.
...
Early that morning.
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the skyscrapers of Central looked like cold steel jungles under the gloomy sky.
Ning Bingyu stood on his private floor in the Ning Group Building.
This place has been converted into a temporary command center for financial warfare.
Behind him, led by his assistant Ye, a large group of men and women in suits and ties, with sharp and capable-looking faces, stood solemnly.
Chu Hongyu was among them, holding a folder, her expression focused.
This temporary task force was composed of senior executives and elite members urgently drawn from various departments of the group.
For the foreseeable future, this will be their battlefield and their home.
All meals and accommodations are provided by the company. Any business trips or trips abroad are arranged immediately by a dedicated person to ensure that the trip is not hindered in the slightest.
A tense and chilly atmosphere filled the air.
Ning Bingyu draped his suit jacket over his wrist, his almond-shaped eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses coldly sweeping over the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist—
"Are you ready? Is the war about to begin?"
Assistant Ye straightened his back and said in a steady voice, "Young Master, everything is ready."
Ning Bingyu nodded calmly: "Let's begin. Don't keep our enemies waiting too long."
At a single command, the entire command center sprang into action like a finely wound-up machine.
The sounds of keyboard typing, printers running, and telephones ringing incessantly mingled together.
Conversations in English, French, Spanish, Cantonese, Mandarin, and even other languages rang out rapidly at various workstations.
Everyone was caught up in a frantic rush of activity.
Chu Hongyu stepped forward and reported professionally: "Young Master, the private plane to Singapore is ready and will take off in an hour. Singapore has confirmed that the personnel are in place."
She paused, then added, "I expect to be back from Singapore around 2 p.m.
Immediately afterwards, he led Chu Hongyu, Assistant Ye, and another core member named Tony directly down to the underground parking lot via the private elevator.
The waiting vehicle silently glided out, avoiding any possible media attention, and headed straight for the airport.
Private jets are already poised to take off.
The group boarded the plane, the cabin door closed, and the plane swiftly pierced through the clouds, flying towards Singapore.
Several hours later, the plane landed at Singapore Changi Airport.
Without going through customs or going through complicated procedures, the group was directly guided to the airport's top VIP lounge.
Inside the VIP lounge, two distinguished middle-aged men were already waiting.
One is Wang Wencheng, the head of Danxi Group, and the other is Guo Rui, the president of Fenglong Group.
Upon seeing Ning Bingyu, the three exchanged glances and simultaneously revealed knowing smiles.
Without any further pleasantries, the three teams immediately produced the documents they had prepared beforehand.
The three parties quickly exchanged, reviewed, and signed the documents. The legal team meticulously conducted the final confirmation.
Ning Bingyu shook hands solemnly with Wang Wencheng and Guo Rui.
Ning Bingyu's voice was calm yet firm: "Thank you both. We are now officially launching the 'Ruby Agreement'!"
Chu Hongyu stood aside, watching as this secret cross-shareholding agreement involving massive capital flows was activated in just a few minutes.
Her heart was pounding in her chest.
This is the power and collaboration among top-tier conglomerates.
A long-forgotten agreement can become the strongest support in times of crisis.
Ning Bingyu turned to Wang Wencheng and Guo Rui, and spoke with a slight apology—
"Uncle Wang, Mr. Guo, this matter was urgent, and I had no choice but to use the agreement to come and bother you in a hurry. I didn't even have time to treat you to a meal. Next time you come to Hong Kong, I will definitely treat you well."
Wang Wencheng laughed heartily and waved his hand, saying, "Nephew, you're too kind! We've known Elder Ning and your uncle for many years. We know the Ning family's reputation, and we understand the principle of mutual dependence."
Guo Rui nodded in agreement, his eyes sharp: "That's right, these international short sellers want to come to Asia to fleece us, but they'll have to ask us first! How can we let them take advantage of us so easily!"
With all documents signed, the agreement was officially launched.
The entire process, including the lawyer's final review, took no more than three hours.
Ning Bingyu didn't even have time to drink water before he immediately led his team back to his private plane and set off for Hong Kong.
As the plane climbed again, Chu Hongyu had already instructed the crew to prepare a delicious lunch.
She arranged the dishes one by one with elegant and fluid movements, demonstrating the professional qualities of a perfect secretary.
Ning Bingyu picked up his knife and fork with refined movements, but suddenly asked, "'The Ruby Agreement,' how much do you know about it? What is its significance?"
Chu Hongyu: "..."
From boss to lover, whenever he says he's off work, he transforms from a difficult, jerk, and mean-spirited boss into a gentle, considerate, or domineering and sexy gentleman lover.
But from lover to mentor, all he does is give you a test, big or small, anytime, anywhere.
She couldn't answer the question, and that bastard tutor even docked her pay!
They call it—deducting academic credits!
