Chapter 227 Why?
April 4th is Saturday, and the next day is Qingming Festival. Most Hong Kong people have to go to cemeteries or hometowns in the mainland to pay homage and visit graves. Usually, Hong Kong Island is in a solemn and sad atmosphere. But this year the atmosphere in Hong Kong is very different, and the newspapers and TV are noisy. Sweeping this atmosphere, almost all newspapers and magazines on the island are clearly divided into two camps and started to quarrel!
The cause of the incident was on April 2, the Bank of China branch in Hong Kong, the China Development Bank's Hong Kong Office, the National Development Investment Company, and the Hong Kong Investment Corporation and other Chinese financial institutions in Hong Kong jointly announced that they would provide Zhongxing International with a US$8 billion credit guarantee to support a series of business activities carried out by Zhongxing International in Hong Kong. The news came out that Hong Kong caused a sensation. Even if everyone knew that Zhongxing International had made its fortune in the mainland and had ambiguous relationship with the mainland government, they would not realize that the mainland would be so clear about supporting a "private" enterprise.
Therefore, many free newspapers supported by democrats and overseas forces speculated about the identity of Zhongxing International and took it for granted their own rumors, loading all the titles of "** lackeys" and "red second generation" on Yang Xing's head. In particular, the Banana Daily, which has always liked to reveal gossip, likes to publish news about making things out of nothing and being erotic and violent. This time, the gossip about Yang Xing exclusively published a sensational style. It pointed out that Zhongxing International has come from a wrong origin and has "bringed backdoor to the backbone".
The method of "market" is to go public and make money. After getting the money, it is not invested in corporate production, but secretly switched to the foreign exchange market and colluded with international speculators to attack currencies from various countries while taking advantage of the Asian financial crisis. These violent fluctuations in the Hong Kong foreign exchange market and stock market have caused heavy investment losses to Hong Kong citizens. His contribution is behind it! He cheated money from Hong Kong, allowing the top leaders in the mainland to make a big profit and severely hit the Hong Kong economy. Such achievements made ** very satisfied, so he specially sent a big red envelope to reward Yang Xing.
The Banana Daily this time was unexpected, unlike the usual speculation that he could only catch the wind and shadow. Instead, it produced a detailed record of evidence, including internal exchanges between several large Hong Kong multinational financial institutions, which clearly indicated that Yang Xing, Robertson, Soros and others escaped the surveillance and invested in foreign exchange markets in various countries. This really woke up the people and the public opinion in their dreams! The general public hated Zhongxing International's behavior of taking advantage of the financial crisis to make money, and criticized Zhongxing International one-sidedly.
Zhongxing International, which owns Hong Kong Yahuang Channel, several financial newspapers and Star Network, will naturally not sit still and wait for death. With strong public opinion, they immediately launched a counterattack, launching a fierce counterattack from newspapers, television, radio, and especially new online media. In particular, Star Network fully utilizes the real-time, interactive and multimedia characteristics of online media. Although some people pointed out that the true or false information released in Star Network's forum blogs and QQs is difficult to distinguish, Star Network, which stands on the side of Zhongxing International, still exerts its strong combat power and gathers a large number of secret messages to counterattack the other party.
For example, international speculators have prepared hundreds of billions of dollars of hot money to gather in Hong Kong to crack down on the Hong Kong economy. Zhongxing International is raising funds to acquire Shanyi Securities. The domestic credit guarantee of US$8 billion is still far from that. How can it have so much spare money to speculate in foreign exchange? In fact, it is all Soros and the group of foreigners who are making trouble. The record is not among the big banks such as HSBC and Standard Chartered in Hong Kong? Why can they speculate in foreign exchange? Zhongxing International cannot do it! It is just because Zhongxing International comes from the mainland and suspects that there is a problem. Isn’t this political discrimination? The nine Hong Kong listed companies under Zhongxing International are clear in the column of equity owners. Please find any evidence related to the Chinese government!
Some conspiracy theorists think this is a big conspiracy. Foreign forces are willing to perish and I do not want Hong Kong to return smoothly. Hong Kong traitors collude with foreign countries to loot the wealth of Hong Kong people and take the opportunity to blame Zhongxing International. Otherwise, the confidential investment information will make you easily get it? In order to confirm these theories, more information providers have also found many financial chaos before and after the financial storm in Southeast Asian countries, and provided a large number of internal transaction records of hedge funds that are difficult to distinguish between true and false in the tone of insiders. After guidance from those who are interested, everyone's anger quickly shifted from Zhongxing International to the entire financial speculator group.
As the war of verbal escalates rapidly, both sides have discovered more and more inside information about what many financial people in Hong Kong and abroad do during this financial crisis. Although both sides attacked the other party forged information and deliberately disrupted the audio-visual, many financial giants began to be frightened and afraid of causing trouble.
Banana Daily, as their mouthpiece, immediately shifted its target and accused Zhongxing International of taking advantage of troubled waters. Now everyone has any problems that are put on Soros and the others. Although hedge funds have become disreputable in East Asian countries, is there any evidence to prove that Hong Kong is the next? The Star Network, owned by Zhongxing International, is particularly hateful. It not only plagiarizes newspapers and TV news, but also makes irresponsible remarks casually. Once someone proposes supervision, those netizens will attack them with the slogan that the Internet is the last pure land of freedom of speech. Is it possible that the news on holiday is freedom of speech?
However, Zhongxing International responded calmly and instead proposed why this financial crisis occurred and why the financial crisis had an impact on the lives of the general public. In Hong Kong, a place known as freedom of speech, the media tycoon in "007: The Empire of Tomorrow" expressed the essence of Western news in one sentence, "What everyone cares most about is not when, where, what result, but why?" Driven by a curious psychology, the focus of debate between the two media gradually shifted from the Chinese background of Zhongxing International to Zhongxing International
The people who can make a lot of money by speculating in foreign exchange, but the general public has to shrink their wallets, their houses become negative assets, and their work is fired. Everyone is interested in the causes of all this financial crisis, and they all want to ask "Why?" International speculators panic discovered that the media wars strangely slipped in the direction they disliked the most. They have always liked to lurk under the sea to make waves, but now they find that the sea water recedes, and their huge bodies gradually appear in front of the public eye, attracting countless rotten eggs and rotten apples.
Because of the "dung-picking" war between major newspapers, the secrets and dirty things of hedge funds and multinational financial institutions in Hong Kong during the financial crisis have led to the Hong Kong people suddenly realizing that the crisis around them is so serious. Hong Kong's situation is simply dangerous and has proposed to take preventive measures! Legislative Yuan members, who have always been regarded as spokespersons for people's livelihood, can only follow the public opinion and pass the draft to establish Hong Kong's first sovereign wealth fund. This is used as a "breakwater" to deal with the financial tsunami.
Yang Xing's hedge fund with a billion-dollar capital named "Ringxing" took the opportunity to attract many wealthy people to join due to media publicity. Although it was called a "hawk", the Hong Kong economic community was unanimously optimistic about its cooperation with the newly established SWFs of the Hong Kong government. After all, with the government's actions, many people will feel at ease, and many small funds have followed suit. For a time, Hong Kong SWFs did not even have a name or charter, which attracted a alliance of tens of billions of dollars, which is a great wonder since the rise of the financial crisis.
The Hong Kong government knew this well and soon reciprocate. A news that was flooded by the lively media war was quietly released. Many people regretted it afterwards. Zhongxing International officially submitted a plan to transform the old town of Kwun Tong District to the Hong Kong government to build a "Sky Star City". Anyone who read this plan carefully will be surprised. It turned out that the 52 hectares of land for Kwun Tong reconstruction proposed by the Hong Kong Land Company was expanded to 1 square kilometer, and the investment amount was increased to US$10 billion, which doubled the original plan, and the construction cycle was even shortened to 10 years! In the words of the Hong Kong Planning Bureau, it was simply impossible.
"I provided those news!" Yang Xing from the Storm Center was not in Hong Kong at this time, so that the media that supported or abused him could not find a vent. He was sitting on a 15-meter medium-sized private yacht, watching the Hong Kong news on satellite TV while explaining to the Kuang sisters beside him. As the media war escalated in the past few days, Yang Xing and many entertainment actresses had too close gossip news, and even Yang Xing's reputation as the "gun king" has been circulated. It seems that Yang Xing, who is unbearable to pressure, took the initiative to leave Hong Kong, was a normal reaction.
He publicized to go out to sea to relax, so he borrowed a yacht from Jiang Daofang and took Sister Ouyang and Sister Kuang who had just finished the shooting mission of "Meteor Garden", as well as the three newly acquired beauties, Ding Mali, Effier and Salimei, to go out to sea to "play". On the boat, these beauties were not old and had never known much about Yang Xing's business. Looking at the Hong Kong media's clear stance on the people around him, they all felt that he had become very mysterious and didn't know which one was the real one.
When they carefully asked Yang Xing the truth, Yang Xing gave them an answer that surprised them, which really scared them. Yang Xing happily hugged the Kuang sisters: "Because I need to provide me with a credit guarantee of 8 billion US dollars to the country. My opponent guessed with his butt that my relationship with the country was different and wanted to block their mouths. He could only take the initiative to create chaos, so that all the truth was drowned in the ocean of lies, so that everyone could no longer tell the truth." He said while touching the two sisters' little butts, which caused them to feel coquettish.
He observed carefully. In addition to Yu Aojun, Liao Qing, Tan Li and others who knew the inside story, the beautiful Effier, who was as beautiful as a Barbie, also felt enlightened and showed a clear expression. He couldn't help but feel a stern. It seemed that not all beauties were vases. Yang Xing felt that there were no outsiders now, so he simply revealed more: "A clever lies should have seven-point lies mixed with three-point truth. In turn, he wanted to cover up the truth and add three-point lies to the truth. When people find that there is a lie in your words, their first reaction is to completely deny your words."
"I first use my opponent's media to promote my special relationship with the central government and the Hong Kong government. I add some fake information to it. Once it is exposed, I can say that these news is fake, which greatly reduces their credibility. We will take the opportunity to throw out the inside story of international speculators' attack on Hong Kong's economy. Whether it is true or false, this water has been disturbed. The public cannot believe any of the words of any company, and will tend to believe the most dangerous one. Fear is our biggest weapon. Compared with the concerns about international speculators, the concerns about my $8 billion credit guarantee and the sovereign fund established by the Hong Kong government are dwarfed by pediatrics. My goal of shifting my goal has been achieved."
