Chapter 1244 Six Deadly Sins



On the first day back, the market fell, and many people in the exchange were uneasy. However, some experienced traders nearby reassured them, "Don't worry, it's just a technical adjustment!"

In the afternoon, the Hang Seng futures market continued to face downward pressure, with the one-year Hong Kong dollar futures falling by more than 3%, triggering unease in the stock market. By the close, the Hang Seng Index had fallen by 1.3%, and 500 companies were down.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Feng finally woke up. After a quick wash and some afternoon tea, he sat on the balcony looking at today's news. The sun was shining brightly outside.

Seeing the stock market decline, he couldn't help but frown and mutter, "It should be a normal adjustment, otherwise it's too fast."

According to the history of the previous life, Soros shorted all the Asian countries, including Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and India, making a mess of the entire Asian financial system and making billions of dollars before finally setting his sights on Hong Kong in 1998.

What Lu Feng didn't know was that in his previous life, Soros had first tested the Hang Seng Index in July 1997, and only launched a major offensive in 1998 after testing the pressure with multiple partial sell orders.

A week later, Sharp received a notice requiring them to provide a written explanation of any violations of the Wassenaar Arrangement within five working days.

When Sharp's people learned of this, they were stunned. They had thoroughly examined the Wassenaar Arrangement but couldn't find the word "China" in it. However, although the agreement did not explicitly mention China, all the signatory countries knew perfectly well which countries they could not deal with.

Domestically, a university professor began attacking Lu Feng in the media, accusing Lu Feng's Hurricane Capital of poaching talent from universities, luring these high-quality talents to Hong Kong, and then sending them abroad.

Along with these arguments, a group of highly educated people began to launch a concerted attack, uncovering six major crimes committed by Lu Feng in just one week: 1. Sending talent abroad; 2. Cooperating with Japan to export national interests; 3. Embezzling state-owned assets; 4. Exploiting domestic employees while promising high salaries to overseas employees.

Most of the middle managers from the Jiafeng Group era have now been laid off, and all the old and new grudges are now pinned on Lu Feng. For a time, Lu Feng became synonymous with traitor and lackey.

Some domestic media outlets also fanned the flames, with Reader and Yilin even featuring Lu Feng on their covers, the content of which was utterly offensive.

In less than two weeks, this incident went viral from the mainland to Hong Kong. The trashy media here seized on the news and excitedly mocked the self-proclaimed patriotic businessman as a traitor and a lackey.

When Lu Feng saw these media reports, he felt something was wrong. This trend seemed to be coming out of nowhere. Then, Lu Feng saw in the Japanese media that Sharp was accused of transferring key technologies to China and was being vilified by a large number of people as a traitorous Japanese company.

At this moment, Lu Feng finally realized what was going on. Regardless of the outside world, he immediately had Liu Cheng, who was in Japan, communicate with him, and then he personally called the president of Sharp.

In comparison, Lu Feng seemed unfazed by such tactics and remained quite calm. He stated that they were currently submitting relevant materials and were not under too much pressure, as the authorities were merely making normal inquiries and were not exerting any pressure.

According to the other party, this should have been done by someone outside the palace; otherwise, the pressure would have been much greater.

Outsiders?

When Lu Feng first heard this term, he had a feeling of returning to the Qing Dynasty. But as people explained it, he understood that some things were not suitable for the government to handle, so some 'civilian agencies' were set up outside the White House. These agencies were under dual leadership, and their management fees were covered by various offices within the palace.

Financial support is mainly from Wall Street. You can think of it as power being one leg and finance being the other, except that the finance leg is a muddy one!

After Lu Feng communicated with Sharp, the first person he thought of was Watanabe Shi. He then explained Watanabe Shi's situation to him. The person on the other end of the phone chuckled bitterly, saying that there were many people like him, but they were businessmen.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng was somewhat displeased with the mainland media. He called Zhu Lidong, who was in mainland China, to ask if he could file a complaint.

Zhu Lidong said that this kind of lawsuit is very troublesome and not guaranteed to be won. They are the media, and the public will not believe you. Moreover, the crimes they listed were all committed by Lu Feng, but they were just misinterpreted.

You can't exactly say you didn't say those things, can you?

"Damn it, I'm going to start a media company, hundreds of media outlets, and publish my business acumen, strategic planning, and contributions to the country every day, so that those people will call me 'Dad' every day!" Lu Feng said, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
