"Hahaha!" Boss Jia naturally received this news immediately.
In fact, Boss Jia received this news through a text message a minute after Soros opened his mouth.
"Boss, this is a declaration of war. How can you still laugh?" Seeing Boss Jia laughing happily, the secretary beside him laughed bitterly.
After following Boss Jia for a long time, he knew that Boss Jia wasn't a very serious boss. He liked to talk to the people around him and welcomed others to ridicule him.
"No, this isn't a publicity book. This is Soros' guilty conscience!" Boss Jia laughed even more happily. "Think about it. If Soros really had a hundred percent chance of winning, then he wouldn't even need to hold a press conference. He could just do it directly!"
"But he held such a press conference with the purpose of disturbing the people's hearts. He wanted to make the shareholders and organizations of Hong Kong fall into chaos and destroy themselves. Then he could save a lot of ammunition!"
"But wouldn't our situation be even more dangerous this way?" The secretary exclaimed. "If Soros and Hong Kong's leeks don't know the truth, then they might not be able to handle it!"
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If Soros can harvest leeks, then I, Jia Yapeng, can also harvest leeks. The more leeks there are, the more fun it will be to harvest them. It all depends on who gets the leeks in the end!" Boss Jia laughed coldly.
"Make the arrangements. I'm going to the United States!" Boss Jia suddenly said.
"You're going to the United States!" The secretary was shocked. The final battle was about to begin. Why would Boss Jia go to the United States? It would take more than ten hours to go back and forth.
"Okay, I'll make the arrangements. Is it okay to take off tomorrow morning?"
"No, I'm flying tonight. I'm flying to the United States in two hours!" Boss Jia said quickly, leaving the secretary with a confused expression.
If Boss Jia said that Soros was guilty, then Boss Jia himself was also guilty. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed to the United States in such a hurry.
On Sunday, February 8, 1998, the G stock market was closed as usual, but no one could sleep.
On Monday, February 9, 1998, the G share market opened. There were still 19 days before the final settlement deadline of February 28.
On this day, it was also a day that would be repeatedly praised by all the future shareholders of Hong Kong. This was because this day would determine the history of Hong Kong for the next ten years.
When the stock market opened, a 1.8 billion USD transaction list was posted. Almost all the G shares are listed in this list, and all the accounts used by the Quantum Fund are listed. Some of the accounts used by Soros are Quantum Fund's accounts, and some of them are under Quantum Fund's name. Soros is blatantly telling everyone that he, Soros, had screwed up the market.
Hong Kong's shareholders were panicking. When they saw Soros had failed the market, they knew what Soros said was true. All the shareholders sold their shares and tried to get out of trouble.
The stock market plunged to 6,666 points in the blink of an eye. Many people swore that they saw the stock index drop to 6,640 points in an instant. The bottom line of 6,666 points had been broken.
But the later generations did not agree with this statement. Based on the trading records of the G shares, the lowest it dropped was 6,674 points, and it did not drop to 6,640 points.
No one knew the truth, because many people who saw the 6640 points said that this point only appeared for a second at most. It disappeared in a flash, and the stock index returned to 6674 points.
This was because the huge amount of US $1.8 billion that had been thrown out previously, as well as more than US $1 billion worth of shares that had been thrown out by the shareholders, had all been swallowed up.
The organization that had attacked Soros had taken down most of the orders in less than a second. It was so fast that the stock index had flashed by in a flash. After the incident, no concrete evidence had been left behind. It had only become one of the legends of the stock market.
However, this was only the beginning. In the next hour, the shareholders saw what an endless attack was like, and they also saw what a rich and powerful defense was like.
The reason why it was endless was because in an hour, there were about 5 billion USD worth of empty orders that were thrown out non-stop. Their goal was to destroy the entire G shares.
These empty orders did not appear out of nowhere. They were thrown out at a speed of about 100 million USD per minute.
Compared to throwing out all of them, the speed of throwing out empty orders made people feel even more despair. That was because they could see empty orders worth more than 100 million being thrown out at any moment. They did not know where the end of this battle was.
As for why the defense was rich, it was naturally because they took in all of the 5 billion USD without stopping for a moment.
However, this was only the first hour. In the second hour, Soros became even crazier. He began to throw out orders at a speed of 200 million USD per minute. In an hour, 10 billion USD worth of shares were thrown out.
What shocked countless people was that the defense still took in all of the orders without hesitation.
If the 5 billion USD that was thrown out at the beginning were included, 20 billion USD worth of shares were traded in two hours. Such a terrifying number of transactions was enough to be recorded in the history of G shares.
"50 billion USD, they have already spent 50 billion USD!" In Soros' office, an assistant said loudly.
"Damn it, do they really not want all of their foreign reserves?" another assistant said.
"What are you afraid of? They only have 6 billion USD, but we have 30 billion USD with the international hot money. We will win for sure!" another assistant said.
"Continue, inform the hot money. In the next hour, continue to throw out 10 billion USD!" Soros said calmly. However, he forgot to light the Cuban cigar in his mouth.
"Yes!" the assistants said loudly. Then, they began to contact the hot money frantically.
Soros' own capital was actually only about 10 billion USD. The ones who were throwing in the most money were the international hot money. Soros was the one who ordered them to throw in the money.
Some people might be confused. How could Soros order the international hot money around?
The reason was simple. Soros and the international hot money were now tied together. They could only earn money together if Soros broke through the defense of G shares. Otherwise, they would all die together.
They were grasshoppers on the same rope. No matter how unwilling they were, they could only obey Soros' orders.
"10 billion USD again!" The shareholders of G shares were a little numb. They just looked at the crazy numbers. Many shareholders looked at the numbers on the trading panel and held their shares tightly in their hands. They did not know what to do.
Although it was a working day, almost all the shareholders had skipped work. They knew that this was the day that would decide their fate. Therefore, they all gathered in the trading hall and prepared to deal with their shares as soon as possible.
More people were holding their phones to communicate with their representatives. After all, the trading hall could not accommodate so many people.
"Should I sell my shares?" many shareholders could not help but ask.
They were very hesitant. In the beginning, they were sure that Soros would win. Therefore, many of them sold their shares at the beginning. They thought that the shares would fall below the bottom line in a few minutes. They had no confidence at all.
Or rather, they were extremely confident.
But now, their confidence was shaken. Three hours, 30 billion USD worth of transactions were all blocked by the protectors. The bottom line of 6666 was still there. Could they really hold on?
