Chapter 1174 The media are at a loss
At nine o'clock in the evening, when Wen Zhiwei returned home, he was exhausted and prepared to go to bed early and then wait until tomorrow to continue to deal with the financial battle, but he was called by the phone.
The phone number was called by the duty supervisor of the HKMA. He told Wen Zhiwei that more than a dozen media tycoons including Hong Kong Island Media and Xingya Media came to the HKMA and wanted to meet Wen Zhiwei.
Wen Zhiwei was very surprised what these people were doing. Then the duty supervisor told Wen Zhiwei that he had just finished the press conference at Quaker Building, and told Wen Zhiwei that Piero of the Morgan Foundation had publicly declared war on Hong Kong City, so these media tycoons came to ask what to do about this news.
Wen Zhiwei was about to jump at that time, and the news was like a bolt from the blue, because although they had been fighting with these international investors for a while, they knew that the other party's stronghold was in the Quaker Building, based on some political considerations, they were not moved before they had no good legitimate reasons, so everyone was in a tacit understanding. Didn't they expect that the other party suddenly pierced the window paper now?
What are they doing?
Before he could think about it, Wen Zhiwei said that he would let the supervisor stabilize the other side, and he rushed to the Financial Management Bureau immediately.
In fact, this kind of media did not publish the news without authorization, but came to ask for instructions first. Wen Zhiwei had always dreamed of, but now it really happened, but it made him feel sad because he found that he couldn't make any idea at all!
Wen Zhiwei could only call Zhou Ming and his boss while changing clothes and preparing to go out.
Maybe Wen Zhiwei didn't even notice it. He actually called Zhou Ming first and then reported to the Finance Director Zheng Baowei.
Zhou Ming was accompanying Lin Muqing in the hospital at this time. At this time, Lin Muqing was approaching her due date, but when she heard Zhou Ming's call, Zhou Ming didn't have to speak. She took the initiative to ask Zhou Ming to go to the Financial Management Bureau, and she would ask Amin to come and accompany her.
Zhou Ming called Amin and left the hospital and went to the Financial Management Bureau after Amin came. When Zhou Ming arrived at the Financial Management Bureau, Wen Zhiwei was already here. He and more than a dozen media tycoons were sitting in the office hall. When they saw Zhou Ming coming, they quickly stood up to greet him. Zhou Ming waved his hand and said that he would not be polite and came directly to sit down and ask what the situation is now. Wen Zhiwei gave a detailed report to Zhou Ming about what he learned.
"This is basically the case. These guys suddenly held a press conference to release such news." Wen Zhiwei said, "But the impact of this news is too great. The media doesn't know what to do. I hope we can give an idea."
After Wen Zhiwei, these media tycoons also nodded to say that they had already arranged the arrangements. Not only the media under their command, but also some other small media have said hello. If they don’t nod, the news will not be announced casually.
Zhou Ming looked at these media tycoons and there was no doubt that his previous layout had achieved results, because in the past, these media people received such explosive news, and they would definitely not be able to expose it first. As for the impact they would have, it was not what they should consider. These media people would even hope to cause a sensational impact so that they could gain more popularity. How could they suppress the news first like now?
Just experienced it
After the previous media stock market crisis, they had already deeply understood the horror of the financial crisis, especially the terrible impact of the financial crisis on themselves, so they had firmly stood on the same front with the HKMA.
With their butt sitting on the side of the HKMA, they will naturally think about the HKMA and worry that once the news is announced, it will cause panic to the entire Hong Kong City, and then continue to affect the Hong Kong City stock market and their own wealth.
After understanding their thoughts, Zhou Ming said: "First of all, you should report the news as you want, because this news will definitely not be hidden. There is no difference between whether you suppress it or not."
After all, the Quaker Building openly held a press conference, and the media invited was definitely more than the ones in Hong Kong City. It is definitely impossible to suppress the news here in Guanggang City. Besides, these media tycoons can control their own hands and other media that have shares. But there are many small media in Hong Kong City? Even if they say hello, in the face of such shocking news, who can guarantee that no one will take risks?
After listening to Zhou Ming's words, the expressions on the faces of these media tycoons breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time they were a little confused.
In fact, these media tycoons are very conflicted at the moment. On the one hand, they hope to report such shocking news, but on the other hand, they do not want this news to have such an impact in the past.
Zhou Ming couldn't see what they thought, so he told them earnestly: "Actually, you should have understood that the financial crisis will always come, and we always have to face it. After all, Piero and others came to Hong Kong City from afar, not for traveling."
The expressions on these media tycoons are still entangled. It is one thing to understand, but whether they can accept it is another thing.
Finally, the chairman of Hong Kong Island Media also asked: "Mr. Zhou Ming, then this financial crisis... no, it is a Hong Kong city financial defense battle. We will definitely win, right?"
Zhou Ming smiled confidently: "Of course, I can assure you this!"
Regardless of whether these media tycoons really believe it, at least after getting Zhou Ming's guarantee, they feel a lot more relaxed, at least they won't be as confused as before.
Zhou Ming then said: "But retribution can be retribution, but you should also be careful, because just like you are worried, the other party is likely to take this opportunity to deliberately spread market panic."
These media tycoons said that they knew it was clear that they would not let those guys succeed so easily.
After a little discussion, Zhou Ming let them go. After all, public opinion still needs them to guide them, so foreign media and some other small media should not be allowed to take the lead.
The big media now have the feeling of being united with the enemy and knowing the importance of the matter, but it is hard to say about the foreign media and small media. If they are allowed to perform freely, they can directly exert a financial crisis into the "financial doomsday of the port city".
Later facts also proved that Zhou Ming's concerns were right, because not long after these media tycoons left, a radio channel operated by foreign media exaggerated the financial crisis, indicating that the economic end of Hong Kong City has arrived, saying that Hong Kong City will be defeated like Malaysia and the Philippines, and the stock market will be crazy. The leak is more than 60%, which is written in the script, and no one can save Hong Kong City.
After sending these media tycoons away, Wen Zhiwei showed concern
"It seems that as Mr. Zhou Ming, you expected, they did not intend to compete with us for funds, but adopted a more sophisticated approach."
Wen Zhiwei then muttered to himself: "If you say this at this time, these guys are so awesome!"
There is no doubt that Wen Zhiwei saw the other party’s plan. The current economic situation in Hong Kong City has been impacted, and coupled with the policy suppression of the HKMA, the overall market’s expectations for the future have been pessimistic. And these international financial giants made bold statements about the financial crisis at this time, which was like kicking the already shaky house in Hong Kong City.
The house may not collapse, but it will completely ignite the pessimism of the entire market.
"It is foreseeable that the stock market will start a new round starting tomorrow. It will plummet." Wen Zhiwei said helplessly.
But Wen Zhiwei then saw Zhou Ming thinking something, and he immediately became energetic and hurriedly asked Zhou Ming if he had thought of something?
Zhou Ming shook his head and told him that there was no good idea. After all, they openly released the news to arouse market panic. At that time, the entire Hong Kong city is selling. Unless they really spend foreign exchange at any cost, it will be difficult to have any effect. But if they really spend foreign exchange at any cost...
Speaking of it, it seems that the rescue of the market against the trend seems to be very brave, but in fact, you may not see any splashes when you spend tens of billions of dollars. This is like knowing that the epidemic outside is serious, you still shout to go out for a free party and refuse to wear a mask. Can this be brave?
And not only do you go against the trend, but more importantly, the other party may have a backup plan. Simply put, no matter how much money you spend in, you are giving money to the other party.
Although the central government has decided to use foreign exchange reserves to save the market, it has not cared about simple gains and losses, but Zhou Ming himself is not allowed to do such a stupid thing!
"Now fund companies and securities companies can be properly released. Faced with the current situation, the HKMA can only issue some policies to deal with it." Zhou Ming said.
For the first time, Wen Zhiwei developed self-doubt: "But is it really useful to release the policy of the HKMA now?"
Zhou Ming told him: "It is better to work hard than to sit and wait for death."
Zhou Ming didn't say anything else, but Zhou Ming felt that the other party would not just send news.
...
At Quaker Building, Piero, who had finished the press conference, returned to the office hall upstairs. Christo and Holden were already waiting for him with wine glasses, and even Bear was holding a small glass of wine in his hand.
"Welcome to our sir!" Holden said happily, and handed the glass to Piero, and everyone raised their glasses together.
Cristo also praised Piero's performance today as perfect: "I guess these guys in the Harbour City must have hated Piero you to death, but they have no choice, haha!"
As Christo said, everyone laughed and drank another drink.
But the drinking and celebration ended here. Boya then stood up and told everyone: "Since the horn has sounded, our offensive will be more fierce than the next tonight."
Christo and Holden both responded with a smile: "Don't worry, we're all ready, we'll get them a surprise gift tomorrow morning!"
