"The problem is, are they going to let you crush them? When I came back from Hong Kong, the news I received was that if an unpredictable financial crisis occurs, they will stop transactions, or even reject all transactions outright, rendering them invalid!"
"Tell me, what will you do when that time really comes? What good will come of pushing a great power into a corner?"
Soros understood one principle very well: robbery is acceptable, but if you try to take away someone's life-saving food, they might really fight you to the death.
We must never push them to the brink. Normally, after shorting a currency, it depreciates, and because of the US's international standing, smaller countries have to swallow their pride and accept it. But the situation is different now compared to other countries. We're going to take up arms and fight them!
Are you here to make money, or to fight?
If things really get to that point, it will be beyond Wall Street's control. If the situation gets out of control, it could lead to war, and the US leadership is unwilling to go to war.
This is why they target you in finance and technology while maintaining military communication. They are jumping back and forth on the edge of your tolerance to maximize their own interests. If you really turn against them, you will back down!
This meeting also made Soros realize that the mainland was serious, and after returning, he kept advising him to back down. First, he couldn't win, and second, if things really got out of hand, the mess would be hard to clean up.
"You invested less, so you can retreat so easily. What about us?" Robertson was very dissatisfied with his old friend and said in a deep voice, "I invested 30 billion US dollars in this financial war, a full ten times leverage. Tiger Fund's total size is only 6 billion US dollars. Now you want me to leave?"
Goldman Sachs was also not satisfied with Soros's remarks. They felt that they had invested too much and could not withdraw. This was a battle that had to be fought.
We're all in the same boat; if we die, we die together!
A deathly silence fell over the room. Robertson, smoking a cigarette, suddenly said, "I now suspect you've been paid!"
"What?" Soros asked in disbelief.
All eyes were on Soros, filled with suspicion. Two days earlier, Robertson had received a call from Lu Feng, who told him to surrender as soon as possible, as this was a financial war he was destined to lose.
Lu Feng didn't say it explicitly over the phone, but only told him that he had an old friend who worked on Wall Street and was very familiar with their financial situation, and that the mainland was very well prepared.
Don't spend half your life in finance only to be sold off and become the one left holding the bag. At the same time, Lu Feng told him that this friend was ostensibly shorting the Hong Kong dollar, but was actually using other international accounts to go long on the Hong Kong dollar, because he knew very well how to short sell.
Is someone infiltrating a short-selling operation to take long positions?
This is absolutely shocking, but think about it carefully, what exactly is a hedge fund?
There are only two possible outcomes for the Hong Kong dollar: it will either fall or rise. To ensure you don't lose money, you need to short and long. As soon as the short side weakens, it will immediately turn into a long side.
"Whose money did I take? China's? Lu Feng's?" Soros found it absurd and laughed, "A country so poor they're practically selling their pants?"
Everyone knows in their hearts that Soros would never do such a thing, because if he did, he would never be able to work in finance in the Western world again, which would be equivalent to directly buying out the rest of his life.
But the current downturn in the Hong Kong dollar and Hong Kong stocks has made them eager to find someone to take responsibility, rather than questioning whether they themselves have a problem.
"There's a Chinese saying: 'One effort is enough, but the second is weaker and the third is exhausted.' To break the current situation, we need a decisive battle." Robertson stood up and said, "As long as the Hong Kong dollar returns to ten dollars, all the problems will cease to be problems. We've already done so much work; today is the day!"
The phone rang in the conference room. The secretary went to answer it and returned, saying, "There's a slow upward movement in the Hong Kong dollar market, but the force isn't strong. Should we increase our sell orders?"
"Throw it!" Robertson stood up and said, "I'll go there myself. I also hope everyone is of one mind. Let's fix the Hong Kong dollar at ten dollars first, and the tide will immediately turn in our favor!"
