Chapter 305: The Great War Begins(1/2)
Chapter 305 The war begins
Since the 1960s
Whether it is politics, business, or the military, as long as the matters they operate involve ordinary people, they must serve the newspaper group well.
As time goes on, there are fewer and fewer newspaper groups or newspapers controlled by a certain family or individual, and there are more and more capitalists waving green money in their hands.
Gradually, from regional public opinion to national public opinion, and finally to international public opinion, those guys with a lot of money in their pockets began to regard manipulating public opinion as a business.
From May 1997
While the whole of Southeast Asia was wailing, Hong Kong's A-shares continued to rise as if they were on steroids. The Hang Seng Index had broken through history many times and reached its highest value of 16,000 points.
The carnival of stock investors caused money from all over Hong Kong to pour in.
But Soros stayed alone in the big room of the New York Stock Exchange. At this time, there were many people like him who were getting ready to swallow the fat of Hong Kong.
Some people he knew, some people Soros had never heard of.
But without exception, these people were all global speculators like him. This time the plan was not without details. He first bribed a stock commentator and reviewer from Japan's Sakura Bank.
Then they crazily hoarded the Hong Kong dollars they had recently bought at low interest rates in their hands.
The last thing is very simple, that is, using public opinion and data to collapse the entire Hong Kong economy, and as far as he knows, Hong Kong currently does not have enough foreign exchange to support him.
Moreover, Sakura Bank of Japan is a bank controlled by Taoxi!
He believed that Rekas Stillman could give him enough time to hold off Tao Xi, and use Tao Xi's window period to confuse the Hong Kong government and the mainland!
"How are the preparations going?"
Standing up, Soros can no longer see the decadence and fear of the past, because this is New York, and this is the territory of the Stillman family!
A group of subordinates heard Soros's answer and replied one after another.
"no problem!"
"It's all done!"
"Mr. Soros, just keep an eye on it, we've got it all done!"
Soros nodded with satisfaction when he heard the angry answers from his subordinates. Even the international speculators and fund managers who were preparing to cooperate with Soros' actions were also infected by the atmosphere here.
"good!"
"The day of 97's return is very close, prepare to ship at a high price!"
"I will also arrange for Sakura Bank of Japan to start releasing information that is bearish on the Hong Kong dollar, so that all the media that have received our money will severely criticize Hong Kong's finance!"
After Soros said these powerful words, everyone in the big room became active.
Soros, with his hands folded on his chest, stared seriously at the real-time information on the big screen of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. What he made this time was not money from stocks.
The essence of finance remains the same, and the essence of finance is currency.
He gave away the profits from the stocks. The profits from the stocks were those international speculators who never said a word from the beginning to the end. What he wanted was the profits from the currency!
Behind him, Rekas Stillman no longer wants money!
What he wants is face and honor, and Stillman's stable development in the next twenty years. Soros listened calmly to the busy sounds around him.
The historical Sakura Bank was established in April 2001.
However, due to the sudden appearance of the Panama Commercial Bank, the Sumitomo Zaibatsu and the Mitsui Zaibatsu felt the invasion of the Japanese economy from international giants.
Sakura Bank was born in this way. In the Japanese financial industry, without Tao Xi's nod, the establishment of Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group would definitely have declared bankruptcy!
Therefore, the Commercial Bank of Panama symbolically acquired 3% of Sakura Bank’s shares.
Shiozawa Shie casually waved to the secretary behind her and got on a TBS Japan News car.
As one of the top five private broadcasting stations in Japan that has not been acquired by Sunshine Media Group, TBS is not living a good life.
Since Japan's media industry experienced the economic bubble, its development space has become better and better, but Sunshine Media Group's creativity is not bad either!
Coupled with the fact that MGM, the largest assembly line manufacturing factory in Hollywood in the United States, is backing him, TBS's life is becoming increasingly difficult.
However, it is not the case that Sunshine Group can cover the sky with just one hand in Japan. Some people like him and some hate him.
Just at the end of last month
TBS Economic Channel received an advertising fee of 3 million US dollars, and all they need to do is to conduct an exclusive interview with senior stock analyst Shiozawa Shie from Sakura Bank today!
Shiozawa Shie is not simple
A graduate of MIT, she once served as a senior fund manager at Ono Securities. Her economic return rate ranked among the top ten in the United States before the economic bubble.
Later, he was hired as a senior financial consultant by the Mitsui Group. After so many years, Shioe Shiozawa directly served as the vice president and financial consultant of Sakura Bank!
This can be said to be the highest position among Japanese women.
A capable-looking Shioe Shiozawa carried a handbag and walked straight to the TBS news interview room, where host Kurihara Komaki had been waiting for a long time.
"Let's get started!"
Shiozawa Shie's voice was very pleasant. When Kurihara Komaki saw that the other party had no intention of greeting her, she was not angry. After all, this was a financial sponsor that TBS executives were very concerned about.
Moreover, the interview topics of both parties have been checked long ago, and the script is based on the other party's wishes. It is very relaxed and she is not stressed at all.
Shiozawa Shie waved to the dressing mirror handed over by her secretary and the makeup artist beside her: "No, I'm in a hurry, I have a flight tonight!"
Kurihara Komaki checked the TV shots and sequences with the director, then sat quietly opposite Shiozawa Shie.
[Dear Miss Shioe Shiozawa, what is your opinion on the current financial situation in Asia? 】
Shiozawa Shie hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and spoke slowly.
[The current financial situation in Asia is not optimistic. Since Japan experienced the bubble crisis and the signing of the Plaza Accord, the manufacturing industry in Asia has been hit instantly. I am sure that countries such as Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, and Indonesia
What we are experiencing now is what Hong Kong will experience in the future!]
As a host, Kurihara Komaki certainly doesn’t understand the meaning of Shiozawa Shie’s words.
But those financial practitioners sitting in front of the TV watching the TBS Economic Channel understand the meaning of this sentence!
"Speaking down on Hong Kong!!!"
[What we are talking about now is Japan’s economic situation. I don’t know why you mentioned Hong Kong? 】
Shiozawa Shie fumbled with the zipper of her handbag and sighed heavily.
A photo was taken out by Shioe Shiozawa from her handbag. Kurihara Komaki, who took the photo, recognized at a glance that the person in the photo was the new emperor of Tokyo!
Tao Xi
The person standing next to Tao Xi is Shiozawa Shie
[Actually, when it comes to Hong Kong’s economy, we have to talk about Mr. Tao Xi. Everyone knows that it was Mr. Tao Xi’s great help that allowed us to stand up again from the sluggish economy in the past four years]
[Mr. Tao Xi was very helpful to my career for a certain period of time. With his help, I not only understood the trend of economic globalization, but also understood that the real economy is the trend that awakens the rise of the domestic economy]
[In fact, what I want to mention most is the concept of economic globalization. The reason why I mention Hong Kong when talking about Japan’s economy is because of this concept]
[Japan is Asia’s largest exporter and technological powerhouse, while Hong Kong is Asia’s largest financial center and trading port. 70% of Japan’s goods pass through Hong Kong. There is no reason why Hong Kong can be alone! 】
[I assert! Within one year, the Asian financial crisis will definitely break out!]
After Shiozawa Shie's words came out, all the financial practitioners and stock traders sitting in front of the TV were instantly awakened, and this argument appeared on more than one TV station in Japan: TBS!
Many small TV stations are advocating Tao Xi's "economic globalization" argument. From a linguistic point of view, none of these "stock commentators" or "economic experts" who have met Tao Xi once said anything bad about Tao Xi.
.
And they all respected him very much in their words!
But those who are thoughtful can see the problem here. This is flattery, and these people are still trying to provoke conflicts between Tao Xi and ordinary people in Hong Kong!
Shiozawa Shie, who accepted the interview, left the building with her satchel and secretary separated from each other.
Moreover, her secretary wore the same clothes as her and got into the news car she came in. It was not until nearly 10 minutes after the news car left the TBS building that Shiozawa Shie drove a pink car from the TBS parking lot.
The car drove towards Tokyo International Airport.
As a relatively powerful person in the upper echelon of Japan's financial circle, she knew very well that Tao Xi was not only Japan's new financial emperor, he was also an underground emperor!
Although Japan and China are only separated by a sea, Tao Xi's business styles in the two countries are simply two different personalities!
He is very tyrannical in Japan. Whenever anyone dares to disobey him, he wields a financial ruler with one hand and orders the group of underground practitioners who rely on Panamanian finance with the other. And the most frightening thing is that the Japanese underworld is legal.
of.
Shioe Shiozawa needs to run!
Go to Europe, the place where Taosi has the least influence.
The pink car was driving quickly on the expressway in Tokyo. Shiozawa Shie picked up the phone in her bag.
[The plan has been completed, I am evacuating, I need your help!]
Just as Shiozawa Shie was lowering her message and driving, a truck driving from Hokkaido, loaded with seafood, drove straight towards the pink car she was riding in.
Before Shiozawa Shie could react,
"Boom" sound
