Chapter 830 What is coming will eventually come

"The peach tree is young and tender, and the fruit is ripe. The ...

After the master of ceremonies finished, Yao Luoying, who was dressed in a Chinese wedding gown, and Li Dongling, who was also dressed in a Chinese suit, completed the Chinese wedding ceremony.

It really follows the Chinese process completely, and there is a long set of tedious procedures behind it. It will take a whole day to finish it.

But the people who came to the banquet hall today, especially those high-ranking officials who came from Yanjing, had at least postponed their schedules and important tasks for several days to be able to come here, and it was impossible for them to wait here for the whole day.

Therefore, the wedding of Li Dongling and Yao Luoying was slightly simplified, but even so, for any woman, with the status of the guests present today, this wedding is definitely the ceiling level!
It wasn't just the emcee on the stage who was sweating on his back. The photographer in charge of filming and recording the wedding was also carefully recording the wedding scenes, fearing that people who shouldn't be recorded would be captured in the film.

Otherwise, once certain images were circulated, it would be a real accident. Even if Li Dongling did not cause trouble for the photographer, some security and confidentiality departments would have a "heart-to-heart talk" with the photographer.

After the wedding ceremony, the wedding banquet began. Li Dongling and Yao Luoying also toasted a glass of wine to the person who had just presented the "Happiness for a Hundred Years" calligraphy.

After drinking the glass of wine and chatting with Li Dongling and Yao Luoying for a few words, the other party left. His visit had already expressed his and Yanjing's attitude towards Dongling Hi-Tech.

As soon as this person left, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became noisy. Li Dongling drank more. Even though Li Dongshan, Zhang Ao and others blocked the drinking for Li Dongling, after a round of drinking, Li Dongling still became drunk.

The next day, when Li Dongling woke up in the villa area of ​​Pingyang Oriental Jiayuan, he still felt a hangover headache.

"woke up?"

Seeing Li Dongling wake up, Yao Luoying, with her hair tied up and dressed much more maturely than before and wearing a "young woman's makeup", came up to Li Dongling.

"Hurry up and get up. You have to go see the elders later. I made some porridge. Sober up first!"

According to custom, today Li Dongling and Yao Luoying are going to meet the elderly couple Li Zhenlin and Wang Xiu Lan, and also to meet Yao Zhengru and Han Liuping.

Li Dongling and Yao Luoying got married, and Yao Zhengru's appointment to Quancheng had also been officially confirmed. Li Dongling and Yao Luoying also had to rush to the Yao family.

Yao Luoying, who had just turned around, screamed and was picked up by Li Dongling around the waist. For a moment, the whole bedroom was exposed.

After some trouble, Li Dongling came to the restaurant downstairs, drank the white porridge cooked by Yao Luoying, and casually flipped through today's newspaper.

Domestic media were much more cautious about yesterday's wedding and did not dare to report it casually, but if it was in Hong Kong, many of Hong Kong's gossip media and tabloid magazines were reporting on yesterday's "wedding of the century".

There were even Hong Kong media outlets that reported yesterday's wedding with eye-catching headlines such as "The Richest Family in Western China" and "The Birth of a New Aristocratic Family on the Mainland".

There are also powerful media in Hong Kong, Singapore and other places that have revealed the identities of some guests at the scene yesterday. Although they are not very accurate, the identities of the guests still let Hong Kong and Southeast Asia know the "gold content" of this wedding, and also made the name of the Hanxi Li family truly begin to resound throughout Southeast Asia!

Whether you are willing to admit it or not, the influence of the mainland in Southeast Asia is there. The influential families in the mainland are also top wealthy families in Southeast Asia!

As for the domestic media, there were many reports on Li Dongling's interview yesterday, including his views on the spread of the crisis in Southeast Asia and the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.

When he was almost done with breakfast, a piece of news on the central media's financial channel caught Li Dongling's attention.

"Today, the Hang Seng Index and the Hong Kong dollar suffered a massive sell-off by international hedge funds and are currently under great pressure!"

Li Dongling watched the news on TV and knew that Soros had finally started a short-selling offensive against Hong Kong City, trying to pull out the last nail in Southeast Asia.

In fact, the domestic media's reporting on Hong Kong news is somewhat lagging behind, or in other words, the reporting is relatively "mild".

The international short sellers led by Soros are much more aggressive than the news on TV!

Soros had been preparing for a long time and started planning a year in advance. He bought a large number of Hang Seng Index stocks, stock index futures, and Hong Kong dollars. He also created hype through the media and vigorously advocated for boosting the stock and property markets in Hong Kong.

Even before, when Soros shorted Siam, the Hong Kong stock market was still rising. These were obviously abnormal.

And now Soros has finally taken action, selling off a large number of Hang Seng Index stocks, stock index futures, real estate and Hong Kong dollars!
In one day, the short sellers led by Soros sold 40 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong dollars alone, cashed in these Hong Kong dollars and converted them into US dollars, and the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate began to plummet.

Coupled with Soros's selling of Hang Seng Index stocks, stock index futures, and real estate, the entire Hong Kong stock market fell 13.7% today. The Hang Seng Index plummeted by more than points in one day, and the entire Hong Kong stock market was almost smashed!

Although Hong Kong City had expected this and had seen the methods Soros used to attack Siam and Korea, when it came to Hong Kong City, no one expected that Soros's attack would be so fierce!

The Hong Kong dollar, stock market, and property market in the entire city of Hong Kong began to plummet. In addition, the American and old European media, which were run by Soros' public relations, also simultaneously spoke ill of the city of Hong Kong, claiming that it was impossible for the city of Hong Kong to withstand the short selling of international hedge funds. For a time, the entire city of Hong Kong was filled with panic.

Today, countless wealthy people in Hong Kong have begun to cash out their stocks, run away with US dollars, and sell off their properties. Countless small investors have also begun to cash out in a panic, and the entire Hong Kong city has begun to show a herd effect.

What's more, just like Siam, Korea and other places, in order to make up for today's losses, some Hong Kong city investment institutions have joined the ranks of shorting Hong Kong city.

These investment institutions are certainly aware that with the collapse of Hong Kong’s stock market, property market, and Hong Kong dollar, they may also face a bankruptcy crisis, but for the sake of immediate interests, they are still willing to sell their souls to the devil!
Li Dongling knew that the turmoil in Hong Kong was probably just the beginning. It was impossible to protect the stock market, property market and Hong Kong dollar at the same time. The US dollars that would be spent would be an astronomical figure. He could only protect one of them.

Ultimately, the only thing that will be saved is probably the Hong Kong dollar. As long as the exchange rate does not collapse, the falling property and stock markets will eventually rise again.

Otherwise, like Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, Indonesia and other places, once the exchange rate is not maintained, the property market and the stock market may not be able to be maintained, and in the end, all three may not be maintained.

This is also the reason why Li Dongling said yesterday when facing the media that Dongling Hi-Tech will support the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.

Even though Hong Kong is short of US dollar foreign exchange, it has the mainland behind it. If Soros wants to conquer the Hong Kong dollar, it is impossible to do so without 300 to 500 billion US dollars.

But even if America doesn't care about its reputation and its vest, and lends dollars to Soros through Wall Street, it is impossible to really take the risk of letting Soros take more than 300 billion US dollars to Hong Kong City to take risks. What if he loses money? !

I guess no one in the entire America can afford such a loss, and in the end they will probably try it out and then turn to it.

To put it bluntly, international hedge funds are scattered soldiers and generals, just like ancient bandits. When they encounter an easy target, they are like gods descending to earth, wanting to break into the city and plunder. However, when they encounter a tough target and fail after a long siege, they will be defeated and flee.

As long as the exchange rate in Hong Kong City does not collapse, Soros and his people will not be able to reap much. Those international hedge funds will naturally retreat after being beaten to a bloody pulp in Hong Kong City!
……

In Hong Kong City, inside the building where the Zhixing Foundation hedge fund led by Lv Wenhua was located, some disputes broke out at this time.

During this period, Zhang Wenqing, general manager of Yaan Security, who had been personally leading people to keep an eye on the situation, heard the quarrel coming from the conference room, but his eyes couldn't help but look towards the group of traders outside.

During this period, Zhang Wenqing was also amazed. Just on this floor, these twenty or thirty traders earned much more money than he had ever heard in his life.

It was also the first time that Zhang Wenqing saw how those securities, investment banks, banks and other institutions in Hong Kong made money. Compared with the society he was in before, they made money much faster by collecting protection fees!

It is said that the Hong Kong and city societies are shady, but Zhang Wenqing has seen how the Zhixing Foundation hedge fund led by Lv Wenhua shorted Siam and Bangzi to make money, and he has finally seen what shady means. The protection fees collected by the society are nothing compared to what the hedge fund earns. Although Zhang Wenqing is not sure how much money the team led by Lv Wenhua made this time, he has vaguely heard that Lv Wenhua seemed to have mentioned a figure of 2.8 billion US dollars.

In fact, in Southeast Asia, the richest places are Siam, Korea and other places, where people have the most savings. Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and other places have relatively less oil and water.

The hedge fund led by Lu Wenhua made profits from short selling mainly from the income in Siam, Korea and other places!

But no matter whether the number Zhang Wenqing heard was accurate or not, it was already an astronomical figure.

Even Lu Wenhua, when distributing bonuses to the traders on this floor, also gave bonuses to Zhang Wenqing and the security personnel. Zhang Wenqing received a bonus of one million Hong Kong dollars, not to mention those traders.

"Given the current situation in Hong Kong, how can the exchange rate, Hang Seng Index, and property market be maintained?!"

"There was a media report in Hong Kong today that the largest securities firm in Hong Kong, Peregrine, may go bankrupt and liquidate because of huge losses!"

"The Hong Kong stock market fell more than 2,000 points today. I estimate that the Hang Seng Index will most likely be cut in half next!"

The office on the floor where the Zhixing Foundation's hedge fund was located was filled with smoke. Lv Wenhua, several executives from the Zhixing Foundation's investment department, and Pete Knight, the hedge fund manager who was hired at a high price, were all smoking heavily.

As an international metropolis, Hong Kong is also one of the three largest financial centers in the world. There are not only Chinese investment managers in Hong Kong, but also many foreigners who make a living in Hong Kong's lawyers, universities, aviation, finance and other industries.

Pete is a Chinese-speaking person who has lived in Hong Kong for many years and is also a veteran in the hedge fund industry. This time, Lv Wenhua spent a lot of money to invite him to serve as the general manager of the hedge fund of the Zhixing Foundation. His income is calculated based on commission, so as to ensure that he will work wholeheartedly for the Zhixing Foundation.

The more Zhixing Hedge Fund earns, the higher the commission Pete will get. It is conservatively estimated that Pete will get a bonus of more than 10 million US dollars this time, which means he has basically achieved financial freedom.

Of course, Pete earned a lot, but Lu Wenhua definitely got more than him. Li Dongling never treated his heroes unfairly, and what he gave was much more than what the heroes expected!
But Pete was very puzzled as to why Lu Wenhua was planning to go long on Hong Kong City.

During this period of time, he could see that although Lu Wenhua was cautious in doing things, he was not a soft-hearted person. However, when it came to Gangcheng, he went against the trend, which made him very puzzled.

"This is the decision of Mr. Li Dongling, the founder of Zhixing Foundation. Gangcheng belongs to the mainland, and Zhixing Foundation cannot short Gangcheng!" Lu Wenhua said to Pete.

At this time, if you continue to follow Soros and other hedge funds to short Hong Kong City, you may make money, but the Zhixing Foundation is destroying its own way of life for the sake of the immediate petty profits.

Even Soros knows that to be a lackey, one must rely on Wall Street and seek support from America. If the Zhixing Foundation cuts off ties with the mainland and flees to America or old Europe, it will probably be gnawed until nothing is left. Even Lu Wenhua's own fate will not be much better.

Just like in his previous life, the founder of Binance was nominally the richest Chinese in the world. But when facing America, without the support of any country that could compete with America, he was different and became a dish of America.

After being caught by America, he almost became an ATM for some powerful departments and powerful people in America. He was fined in various ways, and American vulture lawyers tried to empty his pockets. In the end, even if he pleaded guilty and accepted the punishment, he still couldn't escape!

Peter couldn't help but feel depressed when he heard what Lu Wenhua said. He wanted to ask, "As the founder of Zhixing Foundation, do you know what is empty? Do you know the strength of Soros and Wall Street?"

But when the words were on the tip of his tongue, he swallowed them back when he saw the expressions of Lu Wenhua and the other executives of the investment department of the Zhixing Foundation when they mentioned Li Dongling.

"I personally do not recommend going long on Hong Kong City. This is likely to be another rout. Once the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate falls, the Zhixing Foundation may suffer huge losses. The risk is too great!"

Pete shook his head and said.

"Find the right opportunity to start building long positions in the Hang Seng Index and Hong Kong Index futures!" Lu Wenhua still said to Pete.

Lu Wenhua admitted that Pete was experienced, but when it came to strategic vision, he felt that ten Petes tied together could not compare to Li!

Lv Wenhua always carried out Li Dongling's instructions without any compromise. When Li Dongling handed over 1 billion US dollars to Lv Wenhua for full management, as an investment manager, he had the awareness of repaying the emperor's kindness and helping Yulong die for him!

If ten billion dollars can't buy loyalty, then you are underestimating the purchasing power of the dollar!
When Pete heard what Lu Wenhua said, he pulled his hair and nodded although he felt a little helpless.

……

In the Pingyang Municipal Government Staff Quarters, Li Dongling and Yao Luoying came to the Yao family which has become a bit "deserted". It is not that the people of Pingyang are changing with the wind, but that Pingyang is now in a special stage of succession from the old to the new.

Yao Zhengru was transferred out of Hanxi again. Except for Chen Linfeng, Gao Tianqing and other people who knew about the Yao faction, their relationship with Yao Zhengru could not be cut off, and there was no need to avoid anything.

As for the rest, even if there were some people in Pingyang who wanted to befriend the Yao family, they did not dare to get too close to the Yao family openly at this time. After all, they did not have the confidence of Chen Linfeng and his people. Chen Linfeng and his people represented the local faction in Pingyang and were also allies of Dongling Hi-Tech.

The upcoming new leader of Pingyang, unless he is desperate and wants to make a big news, will become the enemy of the entire Pingyang and even the Hanxi local faction.

Then he would force Dongling Hi-Tech to move away and ruin his career completely. Otherwise, he would have to win over local people like Chen Linfeng. If he didn't even have this trick, it would really be an accident, and not an ordinary one!

However, not everyone in Pingyang Municipal Government has the confidence of Chen Linfeng and his colleagues. Most people are still afraid of causing misunderstandings from the new leader of Pingyang.

If the new leader of Pingyang misunderstands and starts to make things difficult for them, the ordinary clerks in Pingyang Municipal Government will not be able to withstand it.

"Here you go, sit down!"

When Li Dongling and Yao Luoying entered the Yao family, Han Liuping was packing their luggage. Yao Zhengru, on the other hand, had some rare time to read a book, and he looked more elegant.

Seeing Li Dongling coming, Han Liuping's face lit up with joy, and she immediately started to get ready to cook for Li Dongling and the other person.

"Dongling, you should accompany the old man and have a few drinks today. If you want to have this drink again in the future, you don't know when you will be able to do so!" Han Liuping said to Li Dongling.

In terms of his career, Yao Zhengru is in his prime, but after serving as the head of Pingyang Municipal Government for several years, Yao Zhengru has also gained a lot of gray hair, and Han Liuping has also changed the title of Old Yao into Old Man.

Yao Luoying helped Han Liuping to work in the kitchen, while Li Dongling and Yao Zhengru came to the study.

After entering, Li Dongling saw that the books in Yao Zhengru's study had all been packed up, making the room look a bit empty.

Seeing Li Dongling's eyes on the books, Yao Zhengru tapped on the books on the table with his fingers, "These books are like pearls in the dark when they are placed here. I haven't had time to read them in the past few years!"

"It is enough to have your name in the Pingyang City Annals!" Li Dongling said to Yao Zhengru.

Hearing this, Yao Zhengru couldn't help but shook his head, but he was obviously somewhat relieved.

Everything Yao Zhengru has done in Pingyang in recent years has been recorded in the Pingyang City Chronicles and has become a part of the city of Pingyang. For a person in a career, this is the highest achievement!

The rest will need time to settle in the hearts of Pingyang people. As time goes by, everything Yao Zhengru has done in Pingyang will be compared more and more by Pingyang people, and only then will we know which leader has done the best!
