"You've come up with so many excuses, but you just don't want to lend it. You want to say that this money is to support the Hong Kong dollar, and I agree. But compared to 1.5 billion US dollars, 500 million Hong Kong dollars is not even a tenth. I originally thought that with our friendship, this wouldn't be a big deal."
Su Yourong looked somewhat disappointed and sighed deeply, saying, "If you don't want to lend me money, then don't. But there's another matter you must promise me. United Capital is currently in crisis, and I need to increase my control. As you know, Hurricane Capital is now the controlling shareholder of United Capital. You need to lend me six percent of Hurricane Capital's shares!"
Lu Feng turned to look at her, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "What's the connection between these two things?"
"Don't worry about all that, are you going to lend it to me or not?"
“I can’t lend it. I just raised funds, and it would be irresponsible to the shareholders to lend out equity so casually.” Lu Feng got out of bed and started getting dressed. He said, “I’ll be very busy lately and won’t have much time to communicate with you. You always bring up our friendship from the past few years. People tend to talk about what they have more than what they have.”
"Haven't I been good enough to you all these years?" Su Yourong was furious. She grabbed the clothes from the bed and threw them at you, yelling, "How many things have I done for you? You betrayed me back then, did I get revenge on you?"
"Didn't you stab me with a knife? You did things for me, didn't I pay you? How many times did I send money to your sisters and brothers? You did things for me, didn't I help you? Back then, Sun Hung Kai secretly invested in United Capital. Mr. Feng, was it easy for you to take you down?" Lu Feng shouted at her, "Someone like you, you can say you owe me a favor for the rest of your life!"
"Lu Feng! You bastard!!"
Su Yourong, her eyes red from crying, glared at Lu Feng and said fiercely, "If I can't get better, neither can you. You're an internationally wanted person."
"It's alright, Su is a wanted criminal!" Lu Feng sneered.
Su Yourong racked her brains trying to figure out what his weaknesses were, but she couldn't find any weaknesses in Lu Feng's family, career, or any other aspect of his life.
Su Yourong's slightly ferocious expression softened a bit. She wiped away her tears, got out of bed, and hugged Lu Feng gently, saying, "I really have no other way out. I beg you, okay? I'll kneel down for you, is that enough?"
“Not enough. How much are you worth kneeling down?” Lu Feng lit a cigarette and said, “Let’s not do these fancy things. You want to borrow 500 million? Fine, bring collateral.”
Su Yourong's heart turned completely cold. She couldn't believe that the man who had once been tender with her could be so cold.
Without saying a word, she started getting dressed, coldly saying, "All these years I've slept with dogs, whoever I'm with can't lend me 500 million?"
"Then you really are a son of a bitch. I'm just curious, who would lend you 500 million without collateral at this time?" Lu Feng said, smoking a cigarette. "I've done everything I could, and I have a clear conscience!"
After Su Yourong finished dressing, she kicked Lu Feng twice before leaving, cursing under her breath.
Lu Feng followed them out and called out to the nanny, "Show them out!!"
Night had fallen, and Lu Feng sat on the balcony drinking tea. This should be the last bit of peace he had experienced in the past month. Lu Feng knew very well what Su Yourong was thinking, and this was a choice he couldn't be soft-hearted about.
She can kneel down and beg him today, but tomorrow he might not even have the chance to kneel down and beg her.
In New York, at 10 a.m., the interview in Ta Kung Pao had already been published. Soros and his group had all read the newspaper. They didn't care about Lu Feng's clamor; what they cared about was that the mainland had intervened.
So far, half of the $100 billion has been used up. The remaining $50 billion can last for a while, and at most another $30 billion will be added. The mainland will definitely not continue.
They even think that 50 billion is enough. The mainland can't afford to fight until it runs out of ammunition and supplies for Hong Kong. It only has hundreds of billions of foreign exchange reserves. If it runs out, will mainland companies stop importing?
With the opening of the foreign exchange market, it was the turn of European banks to take the stage today. As one of the main players, John was unstoppable in the Hong Kong dollar foreign exchange market, with massive sell orders coming out and almost no resistance below. The two sides could only engage in a tug-of-war, with the sell orders dropping and the buy orders recovering a few points.
As trading closed, Hong Kong dollar futures plunged six points, marking the largest drop in history.
Europe and Wall Street held a conference call to make some preparations for Lu Feng to start trading tomorrow. They studied Lu Feng's methods in the Thai baht incident. He is a person who takes the initiative in the foreign exchange market and combines news with market operations.
According to them, Lu Feng's methods are more Western-style: releasing information, driving up prices, and attracting international speculative funds and retail investors to go long. He is someone who can incite emotions.
Nothing eventful happened in Hong Kong overnight. The next morning, the Hong Kong stock market opened lower, with United Capital falling below nine dollars. Several large-cap stocks, such as Cheung Kong Holdings and Sun Hung Kai Properties, saw trading volumes exceeding 500 million dollars in an instant, but they still could not reverse the downward trend.
The host of the stock market channel on the radio even burst into tears. This was definitely a stock market crash, an unprecedented stock market crash!
At 11 a.m., Hong Kong stock trading was suddenly suspended, with the official explanation being a machine malfunction. Trading resumed in the afternoon, and on television programs, the host urged everyone to buy stocks to save Hong Kong.
Lu Feng sat at home watching the rhetoric on TV and couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't a time for nationalistic sentiments; no one, not even a fool, would recommend buying stocks at this time.
When would a fool buy stocks? When the price is rising, of course.
"President Lu!!"
"President Lu!!"
Someone was shouting loudly in Lu Feng's courtyard. Several nannies tried to stop them, but the three of them still tried their best to break in. Lu Feng stood up and looked out, and saw President Wang and the other two pushing and shoving the nannies as they rushed in.
