Lu Feng comforted her, assuring her that he would let her know as soon as there was any news, and that Hong Kong would be fine and would only get better.
But these words, when they reached Su Yourong's ears, gave her the illusion that a securities company was announcing good news for the stock. The future was not good, but the current situation was just to keep her in check and prevent her from running away!
After two hours of conversation, Su Yourong calmed down a bit. She proposed a safety net agreement to Lu Feng: if Hong Kong's financial sector could not recover in ten months, Lu Feng would buy Su Yourong's 40% stake in United Capital at a valuation of HK$5 billion.
"Where do you sign an agreement like this?" Lu Feng frowned.
"Then how do you calculate this loss? I could have run away, but I can't now. Didn't you say Hong Kong was definitely going to be good? Since Hong Kong is getting better and better, why are you unwilling to take over United Capital? It's a money-making machine!" Su Yourong stared at Lu Feng and said aggressively, "That means you know what the situation is, but you were lying to me just now."
"I'm not lying to you!" Lu Feng said helplessly.
"Then let's sign!" Su Yourong took out the agreement and placed it directly on the table.
Lu Feng quickly glanced at the contents of the agreement. She had come prepared. If the market value of United Capital was less than HK$5 billion in ten months, Lu Feng would have to step in as the guarantor. If it was more than HK$5 billion but less than HK$8 billion, the acquisition would be based on market value. If it was more than HK$8 billion, the agreement would be void.
This is not a safety net agreement, it's a massive, unjust agreement!
Lu Feng knew what she was thinking. If United Capital's market value was less than 5 billion in ten months, it meant that Hong Kong's financial system had completely collapsed. If it was between 5 billion and 8 billion, it meant that Hong Kong might gradually lose its global financial status. If it was higher than that, there would be no problem.
If Lu Feng doesn't sign this agreement today, given her personality, she will definitely mortgage all the shares to the bank, get cash, and then wait and see. Even if it's only 20% or even 10% of the original price, she will still mortgage them.
This is a woman who is extremely sensitive to risk.
Lu Feng wasn't worried about her running away with the cash, but rather that after the turmoil subsided two months later, this woman might not redeem the shares and instead use the money to leverage up the stock price, which would put Lu Feng in trouble.
“Okay! I’ll sign!” Lu Feng took the agreement and signed his name at the signature line.
"Put your handprint!" Su Yourong took out a box of inkpads and placed it beside her.
"You're damn well prepared!" Lu Feng pressed his fingerprint on the document, sighed, and said, "Nothing in this world is 100% certain. The reason I signed this agreement is because, despite all these years, I still love you!"
Su Yourong put away the agreement, her expression softening with emotion. Her eyes lost some of their sharpness. She stood up, walked to Lu Feng's side, leaned down, and kissed him twice on the lips, saying, "I love you too!"
"There's a lot going on, and it's in public. I'll head back now. I'll be going back to the mainland in a few days; the kids are starting school, and there's a parent-teacher meeting I need to attend!" Lu Feng stood up and said, "Don't overthink it. There's not that much risk involved!"
Su Yourong nodded obediently, looking much more relaxed, and said, "A client just jumped off a building, I have to go and deal with it."
"Go ahead, your clients might suffer significant losses recently!"
After leaving the coffee shop, Lu Feng returned home and first called Duo Duo, promising to buy her a cell phone when he got back, although Jiang Xiaoyan didn't quite agree to it.
After hanging up the phone, Lu Feng received another call from the special office, asking him to come to a meeting to analyze the current situation. By the time he arrived, it was already 9 p.m.
It wasn't until after 10 o'clock that everyone gathered and briefly explained the situation. Currently, half of the 90 billion in Hong Kong's reserves has been used up, and what to do when the market opens tomorrow is a problem. Moreover, Wall Street seems to be selling off more and more aggressively, and everyone believes that 40 billion is definitely not enough to stop the market.
"Now there are two options: Hong Kong dollars and Hong Kong stocks. Judging from the recent remarks made by Goldman Sachs President Kossell, they are quite well prepared. Soros has also been frequently speaking out in the Wall Street Journal, attracting global international speculative capital."
"If the worst-case scenario occurs, you can only choose one: the Hong Kong dollar or Hong Kong stocks!"
Lu Feng sat to the side without saying a word, just twirling the carbon pen in his hand. The group was having a heated discussion about whether to talk about Hong Kong dollars or Hong Kong stocks. Hong Kong stocks represent companies and retail investors. If all the companies went bankrupt or were taken over by foreign capital, the situation would be very bad.
However, once the Hong Kong dollar loses its free convertibility and liquidity, Hong Kong will also withdraw from the world financial stage.
"Lu Feng, tell me!"
Lu Feng put down his pen, looked up and said, "Without Hong Kong dollars, there are no Hong Kong stocks. It's just a matter of whether it's a long-term or short-term pain, so we have to have it all!"
