1967 [Gentleman's Revenge]
Xia Tian smiled.
In fact, he had another idea just now, which was to tell the Zion Presbyterian Church the plan to "snipe Hong Kong".
In 1997, Soros sniped Hong Kong and almost defeated Hong Kong's economy. At that time, the Hong Kong government forced all its foreign exchange reserves and land funds to suppress. If they lost, Hong Kong would lose even its underwear.
Fortunately, Soros knew that Hong Kong had the support of the mainland's foreign exchange reserves, so he retreated and allowed Hong Kong to escape. Otherwise, Hong Kong might have been completely wiped out by Soros and returned to before liberation in the war.
This plan has three benefits. One is to retaliate against the British and Hong Kong governments. Who asked it to join forces with the HSBC to suppress it? It just gave it a profound lesson; the second is to obtain a large amount of profits, with an initial estimate of at least 10 billion US dollars; the third is to defeat Hong Kong's economy now, it is better to defeat it after its return.
If it is defeated before the return, I believe that the British government will not be so kind-hearted and will revive the Hong Kong economy and return a prosperous and strong Hong Kong to the mainland. If the mainland takes over a broken Hong Kong and helps it revitalize the economy, the Hong Kong people will naturally know whether it is better to be a godmother.
Unlike in the previous life, after returning, it happened to catch up with the Asian financial crisis, which led to a sharp recession in Hong Kong's economy. Countless Hong Kong people became negative assets due to the stock market and the real estate market plummeted, and their quality of life plummeted. Therefore, they were very dissatisfied with the mainland and deeply missed the colonial period.
But after thinking about it, Xia Tian decided not to tell them this idea.
First, he is short of funds now, and most of the funds have been invested, including Tokyo's real estate, American stocks, East Germany's marks, Middle East oil, mainland infrastructure, etc.
Once he sniped in Hong Kong, he would not have enough capital to participate in the sniper. At that time, he would have to eat meat and drink soup with him. Can summer be that kind of fool? He would have to wait until he has enough chips in his hands before taking action.
Second, he is planning to completely defeat Hong Kong's economy this time. Hong Kong had the support of the mainland in his previous life, and now it has the support of the UK. He cannot guarantee that the British government will not take any help this time. After all, there are still eight years left before returning. It is said that it is not long or short. Maybe the UK will not be willing to let Hong Kong's economic collapse and is willing to work hard. This possibility cannot be ruled out.
So he was going to wait until Soros sniped the pound before attacking Hong Kong. By then, Britain had just been in trouble, so naturally he would not have the strength to help Hong Kong again. Besides, Hong Kong has not been able to make too much effort to help it.
Third, although Hong Kong has not returned yet, the mainland has regarded it as a treasure. If he moves Hong Kong, he will always explain it to the mainland. If he takes action rashly and is misunderstood by the mainland, it would be a good intention to do something bad and shoot himself in the foot. So he wants to communicate with the mainland first to avoid misjudgment.
...
After completing the Zion Presbyterian Church, go home to rest in the summer.
Because the news that the Fusang economic bubble will trigger next year will have to wait for some time to confirm, the Zion Presbyterian Council has not yet agreed to help him acquire CBS. This made Xia Tian despise these old hooligans' behavior and despise them.
However, given that he has no extra money to acquire CBS now, he will have to spend at least six billion US dollars on the acquisition, so it is better to pause it.
...
After waking up, Sophie Marceau and Li Huatong had already arrived in the United States on a private plane in summer.
Although Xia Tian is suspected of violating the law, he has one code and his private plane, personal assistant, and the police have no right to seize it.
Xia Tian went to the hotel to meet the two of them.
"Hani, I'm so scared. How could you suddenly become a criminal?" Sophie Marceau gave him a hug intimately after seeing him, and then asked in confusion.
"This is going to be a long story. In short, I was wronged." Xia Tian smiled, "Do you believe it?"
"I hope you are really a criminal. In this way, we can escape together and be a pair of male and female thieves." Sophie Marceau said with an excited look, "How romantic it should be!"
"Uh..." Xia Tian blinked and asked him, a billionaire with a net worth of 10 billion US dollars, to become a thief and die. Well, this idea is really a second-rate.
Leaving Sophie Marceau, the middle school girl, Xia Tian turned to look at Li Huatong, "Carmen, how is the situation in Hong Kong now?"
When Li Huatong saw Xia Tian and Sophie Marceau's intimate scene, she couldn't help feeling shy. She didn't know whether she should avoid it or stay. Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard Xia Tian's question, but she didn't react for a while.
"Carmen, Carmen~" Xia Tian stretched out his hand, snapped his fingers in front of her, and woke her up instantly.
Seeing Xia Tian looking at her with a smile, Li Huatong felt embarrassed and her face turned redder.
Xia Tian couldn't help but feel moved when she saw her shy and timid appearance. The so-called famous ladies in ancient times were basically nothing more than that.
"Mr. Xia, what are you asking me?" Li Huatong asked with a embarrassed look at this time.
Xia Tian smiled and asked his question again.
"Mr. Xia, the Hong Kong police are still investigating the suspected money laundering of Tianxia Fund. Yesterday, they took a search warrant to the Bank of East Asia and took away accounts related to Tianxia Fund. In addition, they also summoned several witnesses including the Xiang brothers." Li Huatong quickly reported.
"Well, is there anything else?" Xia Tian nodded and asked again.
The police searched the Bank of East Asia, which was within his expectations. The funds of the World Fund were escrowed by the Bank of East Asia, and there was a dedicated account there. The police would like to investigate whether the World Fund was suspected of money laundering, and they would definitely check the account details.
But he was not worried. First, the account itself was not a problem, and second, although the Bank of East Asia custodians the funds of the World Fund, all the funds were actually just passed through that account. The real custody of the funds was an offshore company he set up in Panama.
In summer, Tokyo Real Estate, US stocks, East Demark, Middle East Petroleum, mainland infrastructure, etc. invested in summer with the help of the Tianxia Fund, are all extraordinary business secrets, and he doesn't want anyone to know.
The Bank of East Asia was stolen from the Li family. It was founded and operated by the Li family for decades, and almost all of them were from the Li family. Although it has undergone a major cleanup, who knows if there is any arrested fish?
If these trade secrets of his are leaked by a traitor, wouldn’t he suffer heavy losses? So he transferred all his funds to the offshore company and then invested with the offshore company. In this way, his trade secrets can basically be guaranteed to be safe.
"Also, the current public opinion in Hong Kong is very unfavorable to you. Many newspapers and media have said that you are fleeing for fear of crime and called on you to return to Hong Kong as soon as possible. They also said that if you are really not guilty, why don't you dare to come back?" Li Huatong said again.
"I want to use provocation to trick me back, I can't help but underestimate me too much." Xia Tian curled his lips and smiled when he heard this.
If someone else is in the United States, even if he really commits a crime, the Hong Kong police will not do anything to him. He can still be his rich man and be happy. But if he wants to return to Hong Kong, it will be different. If he doesn't have any guilt, he will become guilty, and if he is a minor crime, he will probably never be released from prison in his life. So he is not so stupid, and he will be sent back to death after a few words.
"But most of the Hong Kong people still believe in you, thinking that you were probably framed, and don't believe that you are so rich, and you will do that kind of unwise things." Li Huatong said again.
"Well, sure enough, the eyes of the people are still sharp." Xia Tian smiled happily when he heard this, "What about you, do you believe me?"
Li Huatong was stunned and nodded immediately, "I believe in you, Mr. Xia, I also believe that you won't do that kind of thing."
