"If you don't let Soros pull the Hong Kong stock index to the appropriate position in his mind and he doesn't enter the market to short, it will be in vain."

Fang Chen glanced at Zhu Changhong and said calmly.

After all, he calculated that he had been dealing with Soros for at least five years. How could he not know that Soros seemed to be bold and reckless, but in fact he was a man who did not let go of the rabbit before he saw it?

If Soros's own psychological expectations are not met, Soros would rather continue to wait for opportunities to come, just like a crocodile hiding under the water to hunt.

To put it bluntly, if he doesn't even have this patience, how can Soros be called the most ruthless and cunning financial tycoon in the world?

The four words "financial tycoon" are simply a true portrayal of Soros himself.

And if Soros doesn't take action, what's the point of being in Hong Kong?

You can’t keep waiting for Soros, right?

In addition, does he intend to keep Hong Kong's economy from getting better for the rest of his life? Will the stock market remain below 10,000 points for the rest of his life?

Not to mention that he didn't intend to do it, but that he himself didn't have the ability to do it.

No one in the world has it.

Furthermore, if you can only commit a thief for a thousand days, how can you prevent a thief for a thousand days?

As long as Soros doesn't take action, if he doesn't beat Soros painfully, or if he doesn't dig out a piece of flesh from Soros's body, he will have no peace.

Therefore, he might as well wait slowly for Soros to pull up the Hong Kong stock market to a point where he can establish a short position, and then complete his victory in one battle and win the battle completely.

Of course, there is no downside to doing this.

That is, he can't take any chances in this battle. He can only win Soros head-on with his strength.

Once his strength is weaker than Soros, he will surely usher in a complete rout. There will be no room for change. Either you die or I die!

There is no way, in the face of the world's top financial giants like Soros, all the conspiracies, calculations, and tricks will only end up harming others and yourself, and become the laughing stock of the other party.

On the contrary, the best way is to fight stupidly and defeat everything with force.

In addition, Fang Chen was betting that Soros would not have guessed that China would spare no effort to support Hong Kong and would be willing to use all its foreign exchange reserves to defend Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient.

With a slight sigh, Fang Chen left the trading room directly. He had done everything he could, and now he was just waiting for Soros to make his move.

Sure enough, in less than ten days, with Soros buying a large amount of Xiangjiang stocks and a large number of retail investors and small and medium-sized financial institutions following suit, the Xiangjiang stock index broke through 9,800 points.

However, just when everyone thought that 10,000 points was definitely not a dream for the Hong Kong stock market, and could even be reached the next day.

Twenty minutes before the market opened, Soros suddenly and strangely stood silently in front of his computer.

"During the call auction, just open 2 points higher and let the Hong Kong Index reach 10,000 points. Then you can sell the stock, establish a short contract on the Hang Seng Index futures, and start short selling!"

As soon as Soros finished speaking, Picheus immediately agreed with great excitement and called Citigroup, Morgan and other comrades.

He has been waiting for nearly two months, and the day of official action has finally arrived. How can he not be excited?

Accustomed to the crazy killing life of the previous year, in the past two months, he has really faded away.

Seeing that the call auction jumped directly to the 10,000-point mark, almost all Xiangjiang stockholders became excited involuntarily, and even planned to invest all their family money in the stock market.

Now that the market is so good, it would be foolish not to invest more money in it, and they can only make up for the losses they suffered when they stood guard at 16,000 points and cut meat below 8,000 points now only with heavy positions!

What's more, they have begun to seek loans from relatives and friends, and even from banks and underground banks.

After all, even for underground banks, the annual interest rate is only 30%. Now he can earn 3% in a day, a mere 30%, and he can earn it back in a month. It's amazing.

But it can only be said that these stock investors thought too well. Just fifteen minutes after the market opened, the Hong Kong stock index, which had just exceeded 10,000 points, turned around in an instant and returned to 9,960 points.

"It doesn't matter. It just broke through. There must be some short-term speculators who want to make profits."

"In addition, some of the locked-up players will take this opportunity to unwind and exit."

"But remember, in a bull market, as the saying goes, it's hard to buy a bull back. Every drop is actually an opportunity for us to buy. If it's a small drop, buy a small one. If it's a big drop, buy a big one!"

"You're right. I can't wait for the index to fall below 9,000 points so that I can get on the bus. When it rose before, I was always afraid of risks. Now that it has fallen, it is an opportunity to buy."

It was just as Soros imagined, but in one day today, he sold all the stocks in his hands.

From now on, you can concentrate on short selling.

Of course, the reason why he was able to clear it out so quickly was related to the fact that he didn't buy many Xiangjiang stocks in the first place.

Since he started entering the Hong Kong stock market, he has only invested a total of US$10 billion, accounting for about 15% of the total funds in his hands now.

Citigroup and Morgan, on the other hand, only hold US$20 billion in stocks.

It can be said that today alone, they have cleared out all the US$30 billion of Xiangjiang bonds they bought two months ago from the stock market.

And because they pulled up early and the main buying range of the stocks they bought was between 8,000 and 9,000 points, their profit on the stocks alone was about 13%.

From 9,000 points to 10,000 points, basically retail investors and small and medium-sized financial institutions are buying.

In other words, if we include the fact that they repurchased the previously sold Xiangjiang bonds, with an interest rate of 11% upon maturity, they have now made a profit of almost 24%, worth US$7.2 billion.

US$7.2 billion is not a lot of money. This amount of money is an astronomical sum for any country or enterprise.

Suppose, if this money is given to one person, that person can immediately become one of the top 30 richest people in the world.

After all, the Mexican oil tycoon, the tenth richest man in the world, has a net worth of only US$12 billion.

Even if US$7.2 billion is the annual revenue of a company, it can instantly become one of the top 1,000 companies in the world.

But for financial giants like Soros and others, US$7.2 billion is really not much, and it is barely enough to fill their teeth.

You must know that the funds used by financial giants like them are as much as 180 billion U.S. dollars, and this mere 7.2 billion U.S. dollars is less than 4% of their profits.

They have amassed nearly 200 billion U.S. dollars in huge amounts of funds, and they are satisfied with just making this little money. Even if they say it, they laugh at themselves.

"Mr. Fang, why don't we take action?"

At the end of the afternoon, with half an hour left before the market closed, Zhu Changhong saw that Fang Chen still had no intention of entering the market, and couldn't help but ask again.

He had asked this question three times today, and the answer he got was still to wait.

Hearing this, Fang Chen glanced at Zhu Changhong helplessly: "My dear Mr. Zhu, I think your mentality has not changed from a financial predator. You must know that we are now a regular army."

"I know we are a regular army, but what is the difference between us and financial giants?"

Zhu Changhong asked with a puzzled face.

Looking at Zhu Changhong's confused expression, Fang Chen couldn't help but sigh in his heart. He regretted a little and felt that he had raised Zhu Changhong to waste.

If Zhu Changhong had been the chief investment officer of China's State Administration of Foreign Exchange in his previous life, he would never have asked such an idiotic question.

The reason why this problem occurs is mainly because of him.

He has been a prophet too much in his life, and his direction has been too clear. So for people like Zhu Changhong, all they need to worry about is how to complete the tasks he assigned and achieve his goals.

As a result, Zhu Changhong is naturally very experienced at the technical and tactical levels, even more experienced than in his previous life, but at the strategic and Tao levels, he lacks a lot compared to his previous life.

And this situation does not only happen to Zhu Changhong. Duan Yongping, Berezovsky, Ma Yun, Jin Zhijiang, Shen Wei, etc. are probably all worse than in their previous lives.

After all, they didn't have him to guide them in their previous lives. They had to make their own decisions, so they would naturally suffer more setbacks and suffering than they do now. Frustration and suffering are the fastest ways to help a person grow.

Duan Yongping and the others have less setbacks and suffering than in their previous lives, and they don't need to make as many decisions. So it's not surprising that they are not as good as in their previous lives at the level of strategy and Tao.

But as soon as his thoughts changed, Fang Chen suddenly chuckled. In his previous life, when Zhu Changhong was the chief investment officer, he was already 40 years old, but now Zhu Changhong is not yet 30 years old.

You can’t say that Zhu Changhong hasn’t grown up in those ten years, right?

So it is natural that Zhu Changhong is not as good as he was then.

Furthermore, although Duan Yongping and the others did not encounter the setbacks and sufferings of their previous lives, they also gained many things that they did not have in their previous lives.

For example, in his previous life, Duan Yongping had never mastered an enterprise as large and complex as Qingtian, with a wide range of businesses and spanning multiple continents.

Although Jin Zhijiang, Shen Wei, and Chen Yiming have become vice presidents of BBK, they are only vice presidents. How can they gain as much as they do now by fully controlling a company with an annual revenue of tens of billions.

Not to mention Ma Yun. At this time in her previous life, Ma Yun had just sold the Chinese Yellow Pages at a low price and was building websites for some Chinese agencies. She would not even launch Alibaba until next year.

In contrast, Berezovsky is indeed true and has grown less than in his previous life.

"There is a natural difference between financial giants and regular soldiers. The difference is huge!"

"When we are financial giants, our primary goal is to go short, and we also have to drive down the price as soon as possible to gain a certain profit margin for ourselves to prevent the other party from counterattacking and causing losses."

Hearing this, Zhu Changhong couldn't help but nodded, they had indeed done this before.

After all, all I used for short selling before was my own money. Even if I borrowed money from a bank, I still had to pay it back. It was no different from my own money.

So at this time, they are forced to quickly bring the price to a safe position.

For example, they started shorting the Thai baht when it was 25 yuan.

This also means that once the power of many parties is strong and the Thai baht rises to more than 25 yuan, they will start to lose money.

But if they push the Thai baht below 30 yuan in one go, even if the average cost increases due to continued opening of positions, at least they are safe.

Even if the forces of many parties are good and the Thai baht is raised to 27 yuan, or even 26 yuan, they will not lose money.

The difference between losing money and not losing money is huge.

Even the stock investor Warren Buffett often says, "The first principle of investing is never lose money; the second principle is never forget the first principle."

"But as a regular army now, even if we want to go long, it should be the same as going short, right? We still need to quickly pull the stock index to a higher position to ensure that we do not lose money." Zhu Changhong asked.

"No, there is still a difference. I admit that the regular army is afraid of losses, even more than the financial giants. After all, this money is the money of the whole of Hong Kong and even the whole of China. Once it is lost, it will be a disaster for the entire country, so
