2677【Human Genome Project】
The Moxico financial crisis in 1992, the sniping pound exchange rate in 1994, the shorting of the Russian stock market in 1995, and the Southeast Asian financial crisis in 1996...
These major financial events that shocked the international financial industry were initiated by Soros' Quantum Fund. The success of these events also created Soros' reputation in the fund industry. Almost all hot money around the world is his only leader, and his every move has attracted much attention.
Therefore, when Soros began to evacuate from Hong Kong, other hot money was soon discovered.
"Soros is going to evacuate from Hong Kong. Could it be that the previous rumors are true?!"
"It seems that the news of the mainland's strengthening of finance is true, otherwise Soros would not have evacuated early!"
"Soros is likely to have received news from the secret channel that we don't know, so he started evacuating early!"
"Soros has retreated, so should we withdraw?!"
For a time, affected by Soros' evacuation, all hot money companies became in a dilemma.
In fact, since the outbreak of the Hong Kong economic crisis, various hot money has gathered in Hong Kong and shorted the stock market, real estate market, and foreign exchange market, hoping to make a big profit. However, although the Hong Kong stock market, real estate market, and foreign exchange market plummeted and fell to the bottom all the way, there are no limits.
In the past six months, Hong Kong's stock market, real estate market and foreign exchange market have fallen without any decline, and there is almost no room for hot money to short. They have no income in the past six months, but they have to pay large amounts of interest from banks. It can be said that they are completely struggling to hold on.
The belief that supports them to hold on is that after receiving Hong Kong, the mainland uses foreign exchange reserves to repurchase Hong Kong dollars and lowers the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar to allow it to float freely. In this way, they have another chance to make trouble.
But now it is reported that after the mainland takes over Hong Kong, financial supervision will be strengthened. This news is like a bolt from the blue for hot money. Because once the mainland strengthens financial supervision, it will be difficult for hot money to make trouble again. If there is another temporary foreign exchange control, the money they earn cannot be brought out of Hong Kong, which is even more deadly.
However, the origin of this news is unknown and it is hard to tell whether it is true or false. Although the hot money in various companies was very worried, they were not scared away immediately.
After all, the risk of doing financial sniping is quite great. Without a certain psychological quality and a strong spirit of adventure, you will not be able to do this industry.
But now, Soros, who is in the top position in the fund industry, fled when he heard the news, which undoubtedly confirmed the accuracy of this news. Therefore, hot money from various companies naturally dare not neglect and are thinking about countermeasures.

After recovering his investment, Xia Tian invested another $100 million into five biotechnology research and development teams.
One team is studying the origin of cancer, one team is studying stem cells, one team is studying genetic testing, one team is studying vaccines, and another team is studying curing enzymes.
In addition, Summer also donated 200 million US dollars to China to support China's human genome project.
The Human Genome Project is a large-scale, multinational and interdisciplinary scientific exploration project. Its purpose is to complete the three billion nucleotide sequences in the human chromosome, thereby drawing a map of the human genes, and identifying the genes and sequences it carries, so as to achieve the ultimate goal of deciphering human genetic information.
It can be said that the Human Genome Project is an important step for humans to explore their own mysteries. Once the mystery of the human genome is revealed, not only will many incurable diseases be solved, but humans can even create an almost perfect "new human" by modifying their genes. The benefits are in the present and the future!
However, because there are three billion nucleotide series in the human chromosome, it will not only take a long time to complete the sequencing, but also have huge investment. More importantly, this matter is related to the well-being of humans all over the world, so the Human Genome Project was a major plan that many countries participated in from the beginning.
The Human Genome Project was initiated by the United States in 1985, and then countries such as Fuso, Britain, France, Germany, Denmark, Russia, Australia, South Korea and other countries joined in 1990.
It was not until 1994 that it officially participated in the "Human Genome Project", but because it started late, had relatively backward technology and lacked talents, it developed relatively slowly compared with other countries.
In the summer, donating 200 million US dollars to the mainland for research on the "Human Genome Project" is also the hope that the mainland can catch up and make greater contributions in the field of "gene sequencing".
Because although the "Human Genome Map" is a free and shared public information, just like the Linux system is also free and open source, there are still various versions of Linux systems, 99% of the human genes are the same, and the difference is only about one percent.
This one percent gene determines whether a person is tall or short, fat or thin, black or white, whether it is the Chinese nation or Anglo-Saxony...
This one percent of the gene is also a secret treasure of various countries. Whoever discovers it first will possess it first. The uses of special genes are very wide. For example, genetic weapons developed for special genes can eliminate a nation without bloodshed. Using genetic weapons to engage in genocide is not empty talk.
Gene therapy developed for a specific gene can also quickly and effectively treat diseases. Patients with a certain type of disease can all recover. If they want to get treatment, they naturally have to pay a considerable fee.
A small blue pill can make Pfizer Pharmaceuticals earn tens of billions of dollars. If it is a drug targeting cancer, Parkinson's disease, ALS, Alzheimer's disease and other diseases, it is worth more than 10 billion.
Zhong is the most populous country in the world, with extremely rich genetic resources and must be developed as soon as possible. Otherwise, once it is first developed by foreign countries and registered as a patent, then Zhong's gene security will face severe challenges.
However, because of the weak mid-base, low capital, lack of talent, and late start, progress in this area is relatively slow.
Now investing 200 million US dollars in summer to support the mainland's "Human Genome Project" research is definitely a very big help for the mainland.

Just when I was busy investing in biotech in the summer, Hong Kong, affected by Soros' withdrawal, some hot money also decided to withdraw to avoid risks.
The pressure on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has been slightly alleviated.
At this time, the British and Hong Kong government, who had been pretending to be dead before, immediately jumped out and snatched the credit for the withdrawal of hot money. It was said that it was because of the unremitting efforts of the British and British governments of the Hong Kong government that the British and British governments had caused the withdrawal of hot money to leave Hong Kong and won this "financial defense battle".
The shamelessness of the Hong Kong and British government caused an uproar.
