Chapter 305 The Battle Begins

Since the 60s

Whether it's politics, business, or the military, as long as the things they operate involve ordinary people, they must take good care of the newspaper group.

As time goes by, there are fewer and fewer newspaper groups or newspaper offices controlled by a certain family or individual, and there are more and more capitalists waving green banknotes in their hands.

Gradually, from regional public opinion to national public opinion, and finally to international public opinion, those guys with a lot of money in their pockets began to regard manipulating public opinion as a business.

From April 1997

When the whole of Southeast Asia was wailing, Hong Kong's A-shares continued to rise as if they had been given hormones. The Hang Seng Index had repeatedly broken through history and reached its highest value of 16000 points.

The carnival of stockholders keeps money pouring in from the whole of Hong Kong.

But Soros stayed alone in the big room of the New York Stock Exchange. At this time, there are many people like him who are ready to swallow the fat of Hong Kong.

Some people he knew, some people Soros had never heard of.

But without exception, these people are all global speculators like him. The plan this time is not unreasonable. He first bribed a stock analyst and reviewer from Sakura Bank in Japan.

Then they frantically hoarded the Hong Kong dollars they bought at low interest rates not long ago.

The last thing is very simple, that is to use public opinion and data to collapse the entire Hong Kong economy, and as far as he knows, Hong Kong does not currently have enough foreign exchange to support him.

Moreover, Sakura Bank of Japan is a bank controlled by Tao Xi!
He believes that Rekas Stillman can give him enough time to hold Tao Xi down, and use Tao Xi's vacant period to confuse the Hong Kong government and the mainland!

"How are you preparing!"

Standing up, Soros could no longer see the decadence and fear of the past, because this is New York, and this is the territory of the Stillman family!
All the subordinates replied after hearing Soros' answer.

"no problem!"

"It's all done!"

"Mr. Soros, just look at it, we've got it all done!"

Soros nodded in satisfaction when he heard the angry replies from his subordinates. Even the international speculators and fund managers who were preparing to cooperate with Soros were infected by the atmosphere here.

"it is good!"

"The day of 97's return is very close, ready to ship at a high price!"

"Arrange Sakura Bank of Japan to start releasing negative information about the Hong Kong dollar, so that all the media that have received our money will slam Hong Kong's finance!"

After Soros's angry words came out, everyone in the entire big family room became active.

Soros, with his arms folded on his chest, stared at the real-time information on the big screen of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange seriously. He did not earn money from stocks this time.

The essence of finance is currency.

He gave up the profit of the stock, the profit of the stock is those international speculators who have not said a word from the beginning to the end, and what he wants is the profit of currency!
Rekas Stillman behind him is no longer asking for money!

What he wanted was face, honor, and the steady development of Stillman in the next 20 years. Soros calmly listened to the busy voices around him.

The historical Sakura Bank was established in April 2001

However, because of the sudden appearance of the Panama Commercial Bank, the Sumitomo Zaibatsu and the Mitsui Zaibatsu felt the invasion of the Japanese local economy from the international giants.

This is how Sakura Bank was born. In the Japanese financial industry, if there is no nod from Tao Xi, then the establishment of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group will definitely declare bankruptcy!

Therefore, Panama Commercial Bank acquired a 3% stake in Sakura Bank in a symbolic sense.

Shiozawa Shihui waved casually at the secretary behind him and got on a TBS Japan News car.

TBS is one of the five major private broadcasting stations in Japan that has not been acquired by Sunshine Media Group. His life is not good.

Since Japan's media industry has experienced the economic bubble, its development space has become better and better, but the creativity of Sun Media Group is not bad!
Coupled with the support of MGM, the largest assembly line manufacturing factory in Hollywood, USA, TBS's life became more and more difficult.

But the whole of Japan is not full of the Sunshine Group that can cover the sky with one hand. Some people like him, and some hate him.

at the end of last month

TBS Economic Channel received an advertising fee of 300 million US dollars, and all they need to do is to do an exclusive interview with Fumie Shiozawa, a senior stock analyst who works at Sakura Bank, today!
Fumie Shiozawa is not easy

Graduated from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, she once worked as a senior fund manager of Ono Securities, and her economic return rate was among the top ten in the US rankings before the economic bubble came.

Later, he was hired by Mitsui Group as a senior financial advisor. After so many years, Shiozawa Fumie directly served as the vice president and financial advisor of Sakura Bank!
This can be said to be the highest position among Japanese women.

Fumie Shiozawa with a capable face carried a handbag and walked straight towards the TBS news interview room. The host, Komaki Kurihara, had been waiting here for a long time.

"let's start!"

Shiozawa Fumie's voice was very pleasant, and Kurihara Komaki saw that the other party didn't intend to exchange pleasantries, so she wasn't angry either. After all, this is the patron who TBS executives care about very much.

Moreover, the interview topics of the two parties have already been checked, and the script is based on the meaning of the other party. It is very relaxed, and she is not under a lot of pressure.

Shiozawa Shihui waved at the vanity mirror that the secretary offered to hand over and the makeup artist beside him: "No, I'm in a hurry, tonight's plane!"

Kurihara Komaki checked the TV footage and sequence with the director, and sat quietly opposite Shiozawa Fumie.

【Dear Ms. Shiozawa Shihui, what do you think about the current financial situation in Asia? 】

Shiozawa Shihui hesitated for a moment, then pursed his lips and said slowly

[The current financial situation in Asia is not optimistic. Since Japan experienced the bubble crisis and the signing of the Plaza Accord, the manufacturing industry in Asia has been hit instantly. I can be sure that Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia What happens now is what happens to Hong Kong in the future! 】

As a host, Kurihara Komaki certainly doesn't understand the meaning of Shiozawa Fumie's words
But those financial practitioners who sit in front of the TV and watch the TBS economic channel understand the meaning of this sentence!
"Sing bad about Hong Kong!!!"

【We are now talking about the economic situation in Japan. Why did you mention Hong Kong? 】

Shiozawa Fumie fumbled for the zipper of the handbag and sighed heavily
Fumie Shiozawa took out a photo from his handbag, and Komaki Kurihara, who took the photo, recognized at a glance that the person in this photo was the new emperor of Tokyo!

陶西
And the person standing next to Tao Xi is Shiozawa Shihui
[In fact, when it comes to Hong Kong's economy, we have to talk about Mr. Tao Xi. Everyone knows that it was Mr. Tao Xi's great help in the past four years that made us stand up again from the sluggish economy]

【Mr. Tao Xi has been very helpful to my career for a certain period of time. With his help, I not only understand the trend of economic globalization, but also know that the real economy is the trend that wakes up the domestic economy】

[Actually, what I want to mention the most is the concept of economic globalization. The reason why I mentioned Japan’s economy and Hong Kong is because of this concept]

[Japan is the largest exporter and technological power in Asia, and Hong Kong is Asia's largest financial center and trading port. 70% of Japan's goods go through Hong Kong. There is no reason why Hong Kong can stand alone! 】

[I assert!Within a year, the Asian financial crisis will break out! 】

After Shiozawa Fumie said these words, all the financial practitioners and stock speculators sitting in front of the TV woke up instantly, and this kind of argument appeared on more than one TV station in Japan, TBS!
Many small TV stations are advocating Tao Xi's "economic globalization" argument. From the perspective of language, none of these "stock analysts" or "economic experts" who have met Tao Xi once said that Tao Xi is not good. .

And they all respect him in their words!
But those who are interested can see the problem here. This is flattery, and this group of people is still trying to provoke conflicts between Tao Xi, Hong Kong and ordinary people!
Shiozawa Shihui, who was interviewed, left the building with his satchel and his secretary separated.

And her secretary was wearing the same clothes as her and got into the news car she was riding in. It wasn't until the news car left the TBS building for about 10 minutes that Shiozawa Shihui drove a pink car from the TBS parking lot. The car headed in the direction of Tokyo International Airport.

As a relatively powerful person in the upper echelon of Japan's financial circle, she knows that Tao Xi is not only Japan's new financial emperor, he is also the underground emperor!
Although Japan and China are only one sea away, Tao Xi's business style in the two countries is simply two personalities!

In Japan, he was very tyrannical. Whenever someone dared to disobey him, he waved a financial ruler with one hand and ordered the group of underground practitioners who relied on Panamanian finance with the other. of.

Fumie Shiozawa needs to run!

Go to Europe, the place where Tao Xi has the least influence.

The pink car was driving fast on the expressway in Tokyo, Shiozawa Fumie picked up the phone in the shoulder bag.

[The plan has been completed, I am evacuating, I need your help! 】

Just as Shiozawa Shihui was driving while lowering her hair, a truck from Hokkaido, full of seafood, drove straight towards the pink car she was riding in.

Before Shiozawa Shihui could react
"Boom" sound

An accidental car accident just happened. The driver who got off the truck didn't seem very panicked. He even lit a cigarette and started smoking.

Although Shiozawa Shihui, a senior manager who had a relationship with Tao Xi, died unexpectedly in a car accident.

But the war of public opinion has already begun. The past relationship between Japan and Hong Kong has led to a large number of middle-level businessmen starting to withdraw their capital from the stock market. In addition, some top rich people in Hong Kong have begun to invest a lot of money in order to protect their stock prices.

But how could Soros, who had been preparing for a long time, let these people get what they wanted.

"throw!"

"Throw me!"

"The faster you run, the more those people lose, and the more you earn!"

Soros stood a little madly in the big room of the New York Stock Exchange and kept urging the group of international speculators to put pressure on Hong Kong, but at this time Hong Kong was silent.

Except for the falling stocks and stock prices on the big screen, I can't see anything else!
Even the Hong Kong newspapers, which used to be the favorite news, have been silenced. Except for those irritable stockholders, no one knows what to do!
At the same time, a large number of empty orders were continuously thrown out under the operation of Soros.

The devastated stock market and the international exchange rate market are full of red everywhere, and the red light makes everyone feel cold.

There are also some sensible people who are trying to find Tao Xi, but when they arrive at Tao Xi's door, the news they get is "Tao Xi is not in Hong Kong"!
There were even some supernatural beings who came to Tao Xi's villa area in Hawaii, but they still didn't see Tao Xi except Sophie Marceau.

The helpless Hong Kong authorities took a flight to the capital in early June.

At this time, Tao Xi was standing in front of Zhou Huimin's daughter Tao Xixi with a smile on her face, helping the 3-year-old daughter to arrange her ponytail.

"Beibei, Dad is going to Hong Kong in two days, do you want to go back?"

Tao Xixi stared at her big eyes, shyly curled up in Tao Xi's arms and sucked her thumb vigorously, but Zhou Huimin bent down and kissed her daughter with a smile, saying: "Dad is asking you something." Oh, you have to answer carefully~"

"Yes~"

Grandma's voice came from Tao Xixi's mouth, and Tao Xi happily rubbed his little girl's face, but Tao Xixi pushed Tao Xi away with her little hand unwillingly.

"Dad, I hate it!"

"Hahaha, Beibei, tell Dad, can you sing the song the teacher taught you?"

Tao Xixi flickered her big eyes and hesitated for a while before replying: "Yes, the teacher also gave Beibei toffee~"

"That's right! Beibei is amazing!"

"When the time comes, Dad will take you to sing on stage, okay?"

When Tao Xixi, who was still a little shy, heard this, her big eyes lit up.

"go with!"

"Okay~ Mom needs to stay at home and cook for Beibei, okay?"

Tao Xixi turned her head to look at Zhou Huimin and nodded without the slightest hesitation. Seeing this, Tao Xi couldn't help but teased Zhou Huimin: "Tsk, it seems that our girl has inherited a lot from you, and she likes to go on stage!"

Zhou Huimin didn't say anything, but Monica, who was standing by, waved her hand at Tao Xi tirelessly: "Hurry up, there are already several groups of people looking for you today, if you continue to hide, say Maybe my phone is going to explode!"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Okay, okay, I'm planning to prepare a special performance for my little daughter!"
