Mixed in 1980

Chapter 379 Second Battle
"Boss, things seem a bit bad. A mysterious force has suddenly appeared in the foreign exchange market, and all the Hong Kong dollars we sold have been bought up."

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Soros narrowed his eyes slightly: "The Hong Kong Monetary Authority reacted quite quickly, getting involved so soon."

As he spoke, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Has interest rates been raised?"

The subordinate shook his head slightly: "No, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has not released any information. In addition, all the stocks we sold were bought up."

"No interest rate hike yet?"

Soros frowned and pondered for a moment: "If the Hong Kong Monetary Authority were to release information to the public and sell off another HK$200 billion, it would be impossible for them to withstand it."

The current exchange rate is 1 US dollar to 7.8 Hong Kong dollars.

Fluctuations of 0.05 are normal. International speculators are basically setting their selling prices below 7.7 in order to create market panic.

400 billion, plus 200 billion!
The news of the HK$600 billion sell-off that day inevitably caused panic, but a mysterious force in the market always managed to absorb it all, which reassured people.

TVB News reported at noon that day!

Zeng Ali and Zhao Yuanyuan appeared on the television screen. People in Hong Kong were no strangers to them. They all knew that they were Chen Fan's wives and were frequently reported on.

Besides that, they are also strong women.

Both Zeng Ali's Lululemon and Zhao Yuanyuan's Luoshen are globally popular brands, and if they were willing to go public, their market value could easily exceed 10 billion US dollars.

"Ms. Zeng and Ms. Zhao, as far as we know, it was you two who bought large amounts of Hong Kong dollars in the foreign exchange market to stabilize the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate?" the reporter asked.

As for the form of address, it was rather strange.

In Hong Kong, married women are usually addressed by their husband's surname. If the husband's surname is Chan, she is called Mrs. Chan. However, since these two women share the same husband and are both addressed as Mrs. Chan, it can be difficult to distinguish between them.

Furthermore, you can't differentiate them by size, or you'll easily get a beating.

Then you can only address her as "Miss". In Hong Kong, whether you are 18, 68, or even older, you can be addressed as "Miss" as a very polite form of address.

Zeng Ali smiled and replied, "Yes, we learned from Chen Fan a month ago that Soros was going to attack Hong Kong."

“If Soros succeeds, Hong Kong’s economy will inevitably collapse, and it will regress by 20 years, just like Siam and Malaysia.”

"As a member of Hong Kong, this is something we cannot allow, and we will do everything in our power to fight against international speculators led by Soros."

“Ms. Zeng, you are right. Westerners have no right to take over Hong Kong.”

The reporter nodded slightly and pointed the microphone at Zhao Yuanyuan: "Ms. Zhao, what is your opinion?"

Zhao Yuanyuan narrowed her eyes slightly: "We sisters are of one mind. Hong Kong belongs to the people of Hong Kong, to the Chinese people, and is absolutely not to the Westerners."

The reporter then asked, "International speculators are dumping Hong Kong dollars on a large scale. Ms. Zhao, how much do you plan to buy? Do you have an approximate amount?"

Zhao Yuanyuan nodded and said, "I will do my best!"

"In order to deal with international speculators, I have prepared all my personal savings, as well as all of Luo Shen's liquid funds, and have mortgaged Luo Shen."

"A total of 108 billion US dollars."

Zeng Ali picked up the conversation: "It's the same for me. I mortgaged Lululemon and the Yangcheng factory, and mobilized all my working capital and personal savings."

"A total of 115 billion US dollars!"

"With our ancestors above us, as sons and daughters of China, even if we lose all our wealth and everything we have, we will fight against international speculators to the very end!"

When the news ended, countless viewers were stunned!

First, I was astonished by my children's wealth: 108 billion and 115 billion US dollars, which together amounted to 223 billion US dollars, equivalent to 1740 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Together they could be the richest people in Hong Kong.

Well, not counting Chen Fan!

People were even more astonished by their courage; in this time of crisis, they actually mortgaged their assets and used all their assets to fight against international speculators.

That's George Soros, the Wall Street tycoon who strikes fear into the hearts of people all over the world!
Aren't they afraid of losing everything?

What they said was really good, such as Zhao Yuanyuan's statement: Hong Kong belongs to the people of Hong Kong, to the people of China, and is definitely not Hong Kong for Westerners.

And Zeng Ali's line: "Our ancestors are above!"

I don't know why, but hearing those six words made my nose tingle and a feeling of warmth naturally rise in my body.

After the news aired, the foreign exchange and stock markets stabilized considerably. $223 billion is not a small sum, and it was enough to reassure many people.

"Miss Zhao, you're quite something!" Chen Fan pinched his wife's cheek. "Hong Kong is Hong Kong for Hong Kong people, Hong Kong for Chinese people, not Hong Kong for Westerners. Not bad, very sophisticated."

Zhao Yuanyuan boasted, "As the founder of Luoshen and the CEO of Xingmang Investment, these are all trivial matters, not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

"I told you you were fat, and you're still panting."

Chen Fan smiled and kissed her on the lips: "But Ali's line is better, 'Our ancestors are above,' which can directly ignite the inheritance in our bloodline."

Miss Zhao snorted, "It's all because of what you taught me."

Chen Fan was slightly taken aback: "How did it become that I taught you?"

"You once said that the three most terrifying phrases spoken by Chinese people are, firstly, 'Our ancestors are above us,' and secondly, 'Father, Mother, your child is unfilial.'"

Zhao Yuanyuan wrinkled her nose: "What was the last sentence again? I remember now, comrades, the time has come for the Party and the people to test us."

As he spoke, he looked at Zeng Ali and said, "You have no creativity of your own, you just copy others without any originality. I despise you!"

As expected, Zeng Ali made her move.

After giving Miss Zhao a good scolding, he finally got down to business: "223 billion US dollars, it seems like a lot, but it's not that much either. How many days do you think we can last?"

"Shit, it was them!"

Soros was so angry that he smashed an ashtray, but he was unexpectedly stopped by two women. No wonder the Financial Supervisory Commission did not react at all and showed no sign of raising interest rates.

“The Hong Kong Monetary Authority will not intervene unless they are defeated. In addition to selling off its Hong Kong dollars, it will also repeatedly borrow Hong Kong dollars to force banks to raise short-term interbank lending rates.”

Soros touched his nose and frowned: "And those damned Englishmen, if they don't make a move soon, the cooperation is over."

As he spoke, he made a phone call to the British.

These people have a lot of Hong Kong dollars on hand, not only from the funds from selling HSBC and Standard Chartered, but also from reserve funds in other industries, especially Cathay Pacific.

Chen Fan stood up and stretched: "We'll hold out for as many days as we can. Soros still needs to use public opinion to create momentum; he won't sell off all at once."

“If he throws out all his chips at once, he will only lose his voice. Only by using public opinion to get more people to sell can he put pressure on the Hong Kong Monetary Authority.”

"Let's go to the company!"

“Apart from Liu going to the Philippines, all other shareholders of Hang Seng will be present. We can withstand this wave of attacks from Soros.”

The bodyguards have already arranged the vehicle!
Just last month, Guo Bingxiang was kidnapped, so Chen Fan didn't dare to be careless when he went out. The security was even better than before, with five cars accompanying him when he went out.

The car in front is far ahead, clearing the way.

The second and third cars were filled with bodyguards. The couple rode in the fourth car, which was followed by another car, all of which were fully staffed with bodyguards.

With such a force, even special forces might not be able to do anything, let alone kidnappers.

The convoy entered Repulse Bay.

As the car in front of me passed through an intersection safely, the second car was about to cross when suddenly there was a loud bang, a huge burst of flames erupted, and the car was overturned.

"The vehicle in front is turning around. Maintain a safe distance to provide immediate assistance. Be aware of the situation!"

"Vehicle number three, stop and prepare for battle."

"Vehicle number four, stop. Vehicle number five, move close to vehicle number four and provide cover. Prepare for battle."

Wu Lanying quickly gave the order, and then heard a creak. A small truck suddenly rushed out of the intersection and crashed into car number three.

Car number three swerved sharply and was hit, veering off course!

The two bodyguards in the back seat of vehicle number five got out of the car, drew their pistols, and pulled the triggers on the truck driver, accurately shooting him in the head, causing the truck to lose control and crash into the roadside green belt.

At the same time, another car sped towards them from a distance, heading straight for the first car, which had already turned around.

Fortunately, the driver of the car was skilled enough to dodge the attack. The bodyguard in the passenger seat had already drawn his pistol, rolled down the window, leaned out, and started shooting at the vehicle.

"Ali, Yuanyuan, don't be afraid!"

Chen Fan sat in the passenger seat and turned to comfort his wife. Zeng Ali looked flustered but rationally hugged her sister: "Yuanyuan, don't worry, everything will be alright."

"Don't worry, leave the fighting to them."

The driver remained calm, sharply turned the steering wheel to turn around, and took his employer away from the battlefield. But just then, a van sped towards them from behind.
