Chapter 672 [Hong Kong Dollar Crisis]
The Hong Kong dollar crisis is becoming more and more serious, and the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar cannot fully summarize this crisis. The most serious thing is that there is even a refusal to accept Hong Kong dollars in some places;
Fortunately, the Hong Kong government dispatched police forces to punish merchants who refused to accept Hong Kong dollars;
But the more this happens, the more panicked the market will be. Some places even traded goods for goods, which immediately shocked everyone.
July 24th, Xingqing Liu.
The "Hong Kong dollar crisis" broke out completely, and rumors spread everywhere on the market, and rumors would replace the Hong Kong dollar with mainland currencies, and the Hong Kong dollar was surging;
At the same time, the Hong Kong dollar crisis triggered a wave of buying rush, and citizens went to supermarkets to buy rice, oil and other daily necessities;
Even if Wu Guangyao had already ordered his retailers to prepare well, they were robbed by crazy citizens;
In the BBQ Supermarket, some customers even flirt with each other, compete for oil, push carts, and rice... It's so lively.
Seeing that things were about to develop and lose control, the Hong Kong government finally realized that if powerful measures were not implemented, the Hong Kong island's economy might really collapse!
Although there are probably British people behind this Hong Kong dollar crisis, they also want to use this to threaten the mainland as a condition for negotiations;
But once the loss of control is out of control, it will have the greatest impact on the UK. Internationally, it will condemn the UK and seriously affect its reputation;
After all, Hong Kong Island was still under the rule of the United Kingdom.
It is not only condemnation by international public opinion, but also has an impact on the UK's economy. After all, there are many British-funded enterprises in Hong Kong;
It can be said that the economy of the UK will be affected!
Seeing that the situation was out of control, the Hong Kong Governor Youde quickly summoned a group of bank leaders, and even the British Deputy Foreign Minister arrived in Hong Kong to discuss the matter.
"Mr. Wu, please come inside!" Hong Kong government staff invited respectfully.
Wu Guangyao was also a participant in this meeting. His identity is not considered the head of the bank, but he can only be said to be at the same level as the British Deputy Foreign Minister.
When we arrived at the conference room, we all got into the topic after a simple greeting.
Youde first said: "Mr. Wu, do you have a lot of foreign exchange in your hands?"
Wu Guangyao nodded, not hiding this matter.
Yud continued: "Can we lend it to the Hong Kong government first? We can borrow US dollars and repay US dollars!"
Wu Guangyao smiled and said, "We have to discuss the plan first, and then discuss the matter of borrowing foreign exchange!"
Charlie, the British Deputy Foreign Minister, said: "Yes, we should discuss the specific plan first and then discuss other things."
At this time, Wu Guangyao's identity had undergone tremendous changes. The British even believed that if Wu Guangyao stood on the mainland with all his might, Britain would be very passive - because of public opinion and public opinion.
Logically speaking, when discussing the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, you should avoid merchants like Wu Guangyao, because merchants can make profits from it;
But at this time, the Wu family controlled large banks such as Standard Chartered, Hang Seng, and Everbright. If these banks knew the exchange rate, Wu Guangyao would know it too.
Therefore, the Hong Kong government decided to bring Wu Guangyao in to discuss, and was willing to believe that Wu Guangyao would not make the difference.
During this period, Wu Guangyao interrupted: "The sooner the exchange rate is stabilized, the more the influence of this storm can be minimized. Once the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar breaks by 9, it will be a major disaster."
Wu Guangyao's words still played a big role, and everyone agreed.
Finally, the meeting set the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar at 7.2:1, which surprised Wu Guangyao;
I thought about it and felt relieved that the situation in Hong Kong in this life is better than in the previous life, and the economy is also more developed than in the previous life;
The reason why this situation broke out this time is nothing more than panic being contagious.
But this panic is also easy to solve. As long as the government intervenes early, it will soon be dispersed.
Therefore, the Hong Kong government's behavior before the 1980s has been criticized;
In the past, when there was a bank squeezing incident in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong government always let the people play their roles, and in the end there was a big problem, she intervened.
Of course, the Hong Kong government also has supporters, and these supporters said, "Hong Kong is the pioneer of the world's free economy." What it emphasizes is economic freedom and the government will interfere less.
But economic freedom is also limited, otherwise why did the Hong Kong government implement some reforms in the 1980s?
During the meeting, Youde did not continue to discuss the matter of borrowing foreign exchange from Wu Guangyao, because after the meeting, Youde and Charlie invited Wu Guangyao to the office to have a private talk.
"Mr. Wu, how many dollars can you take out?"
"How much US dollars does the Hong Kong government need?"
Wu Guangyao's words were not generous, but were testing!
Yud said: "Is there $2 billion?"
$2 billion is just a sprinkling of water for Wu Guangyao. Knowing that something is going to happen in Hong Kong, Wu Guangyao reserved 5 billion US dollars of foreign exchange in Hong Kong.
This money was originally planned to be operated in the Hong Kong dollar crisis. If the Hong Kong government does not invite itself at this meeting, it will be a good idea.
But now, it is obviously not suitable to go to the market to exchange for foreign exchange.
Wu Guangyao nodded and said, "No problem!"
No requirements were made, but Wu Guangyao knew that the Hong Kong government would definitely take care of his own company afterwards, otherwise Wu Guangyao would have to settle the score later;
Wu Guangyao's plan is to get the biggest discount on land prices.
Charlie smiled and said, "Mr. Wu is so happy!"
Wu Guangyao responded: "Hong Kong is my home, so I naturally have no choice but to do so; in fact, I also want to say something to you. No matter how the Sino-British negotiations develop, the stability of Hong Kong Island should be the common responsibility of both parties. The economy of Hong Kong Island can also affect the British mainland, and there are many British people investing in Hong Kong. A good environment is obviously in everyone's interests.
Assuming that the UK really withdraws from Hong Kong, the UK can also think about it. If the UK does a good job, will Hong Kong businessmen come to the UK to invest more in the future?"
Although the British did not explicitly tell the little moves this time, they also warned the British.
Charlie said: "What Mr. Wu said makes sense. Under the governance of the UK, there will be no chaos in Hong Kong. Please rest assured by Mr. Wu."
Well, it's not a mess now!
...........
In a villa on South Bay Road, Repulse Bay, Wu Guangyao was lying on a chair with sunglasses;
Looking at it, it is a swimming pool that looks like a borderless, connected to the sea;
This is not the point, the point is that there are two mermaids in the pool.
Lin Qingxia exposed her head from the water and fiddled her hair backwards, making a beauty come out of the bath;
"You're going to get out soon?"
Wu Guangyao was unmoved and continued to lie on the chair, looking quite enjoyable.
Seeing this, Zhao Yazhi plunged into the water and swam towards Wu Guangyao.
In an instant, another beauty came out of the bath and walked upwards slowly along the steps one by one.
The shoulders, bobos, willow waist, and long legs slowly appear.
"Swim together, otherwise it would be meaningless!"
Looking at the expectant expressions of the two women, Wu Guangyao stood up, his temperament was emitting, and he stretched out his hand to point to the sea in the distance;
"Only the sea is my battlefield!"
He has a bold statement and ambition, and he has a sense of applause and awe...
"Then let's go out to play!" Zhao Yazhi said uncooperatively.
Wu Guangyao's face froze, then rushed to the swimming pool quickly and plunged into the water.
Lin Qingxia laughed in the swimming pool, a little unscrupulous, so her chest was trembling.
Zhao Yazhi asked silly: "Is my answer funny?"
Lin Qingxia continued to smile and said, but she just didn't answer, but she was anxious to get pregnant with Zhao Yazhi.
The relationship between the two women can only be said to be acceptable, but they were forced to be combined together by Wu Guangyao to satisfy men's interests;
In terms of relationships, it seems to be a competitive relationship.
