Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon Chapter 553

On September 22, the panic continued, after major banks stopped exchanging foreign currencies and cashing out U.S. dollars, and even closed their doors.

The panic of Hong Kong residents is even more serious. In addition to continuing to buy things that preserve value such as gold jewelry, these Hong Kong residents even have a small-scale rush to buy goods.

Following the rumors that the Hong Kong dollar is going to be replaced, the Hong Kong street once again spread that Hong Kong is about to face the risk of war.

This terrified the residents of Hong Kong, and everyone who had the means left Hong Kong as soon as possible. At this time, Cathay Pacific Airways was very explosive in every flight.

No matter where the flight's destination is, as long as it leaves Hong Kong.

For this reason, Cathay Pacific, a subsidiary of Swire Pacific, has made a lot of money. Not only has the price of air tickets been greatly increased, but even like the gold shop, it does not charge Hong Kong dollars. To buy air tickets, you must use US dollars.

Even so, the flight is still popular, as long as there is a chance, if you have the ability, you will leave, whether it is a boss or a middle class, such as Zhang Yuliang, who had business dealings with Li Zhiwen before, as well as the bosses and management of major foreign firms.

It is not uncommon for these foreign firms and management to leave Hong Kong. After all, they have excuses, either to study abroad, or to return to China.

But people like Zhang Yuliang are hard to say. Many people have been scolded as capitalists, but Zhang Yuliang doesn't care. Compared with these scoldings, he cares more about his own safety.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon on September 22, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar officially broke the 7:1 mark and reached 7.2:1.

The Hong Kong Governor's Office on the Peak did not make a sound of its own.

On September 23, the panic was even more serious. Those business leaders and the middle class were able to leave by plane and ship, but after all, these people were only a small part of the residents of Xiangjiang, and most of them could not do without.

So they can only hoard goods to deal with the next crisis.

Baijia Supermarket and Wellcome Supermarket under Li Zhiwen ushered in the largest traffic in history.

The guests were rubbing shoulders, rushing to buy everything in the show.

Purified water, rice, bread, vegetables, etc. were all sold out.

In addition to the two supermarkets in Xiangjiang, the same is true for other supermarkets.

Many supermarkets took the opportunity to raise prices significantly, and some supermarkets did not accept Hong Kong dollars like gold stores, but only US bills.

But this is not so many people who buy it. In this case, I might as well go shopping in other supermarkets. After all, it is not a valuable thing like gold.

There is no way, all supermarkets have a unified caliber. Although the Hong Kong dollar is charged, the overall price of goods has risen by one-third compared to before.

For this reason, Li Zhiwen specifically wanted to go to the Baijia supermarket near Repulse Bay to check the situation, but he was shocked by the crowd at the door, so he did not go in.

And Li Zhiwen's mother Zou Fang also wanted to participate in this action. After all, Li Zhiwen and Li Junxia were jointly vetoed to leave Xiangjiang before.

Li Junxia vetoed because he is now the deputy chief of police, and if his family leaves Xiangjiang, what will others think.

And Li Zhiwen's veto is simply knowing that this incident will end soon, and there is no need to leave.

But since Zou Fang is inseparable, I can stock up on some food. You can't allow it.

As for hoarding goods, although Li Junxia felt that it was unnecessary, after all, he was afraid that he would not have food because of his identity, and what did he do with his son?

And Li Zhiwen persuaded for a while, but in the end he couldn't persuade, so he had to call the general manager of Baijia Supermarket and asked him to bring some food, and specifically told him not to allow too much, so as not to cause panic among the employees, which made Zou Fang Discarded the idea of ​​​​starting.

Afterwards, Li Zhiwen made another phone call and instructed the management to open a green channel for employees, and to give priority to these employees under certain circumstances. The price was calculated according to September 20th.

This is what Li Zhiwen only wanted to understand afterward. Your boss has taken the lead in stockpiling the goods, although it is not his own will.

But it's a bit ugly to not let your employees stock up.

In this case, it is better to make a cut, buy at a reasonable price, set a limit, and buy something if you want to.

For this, the employees are very grateful to the big boss.

This is also a few years earlier than Li Zhiwen's time of travel. If it is put on hold in 2022, if he is fortunate to see the food grabbing in Shanghai, he will understand how good he is doing.

At 4:00 p.m. on September 23, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the U.S. dollar exceeded 8:1, reaching a terrifying 8.7:1, and the upward trend remains unabated.

On this day, the Hong Kong Governor's Office at the Peak of Peace still did not make a sound.

On September 24, the panic seemed to intensify, but everyone was getting used to it.

There are not as many customers in Parknshop and Wellcome supermarkets. The reason is that the public has no interest in the empty shelves.

Of course, this is also the reason why various suppliers have suspended all supply relations with supermarkets due to the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar, and will resume it when the situation becomes clear.

It's just that there are too few people on the streets, and there are not many Miao Miao people. After all, it seems better to stay at home at this time, and even most factories are closed.

After all, just like yesterday, you capitalist won't let me grab the vegetables. In case of war, my whole family starved to death, you patted the butt, left on the plane, left us here, cut our meat, and eaten Our blood, why should we dry it for you.

As a result, many employees gave up, and when the factory owners saw the situation, they had no choice but to close the factory.

Look at the main gate of the small factory to see if there is a way to go to Lisboa next door to avoid disaster.

Some of the big businessmen and others have already appeared on the streets of Manhattan, New York with their families, and some have appeared under the Eiffel Tower in Paris with Xiaomi, and took pictures with their arms around Xiaomi's waist.

In fact, Li Zhiwen also received cross-ocean calls from Liu Xiaoli from Los Angeles, Isabelle Adjani from Paris, and Monica Bellucci from Milan, all of whom invited Li Zhiwen to hide in those places.

Monica Bellucci and Isabel Adjani have been interested in Hong Kong news since they had a relationship with Li Zhiwen.

After seeing the report on the Xiangjiang incident in the newspaper, worried about Li Zhiwen's safety, he called.

And Liu Xiaoli doesn't need those. After all, he has been in Li Zhiwen's company in Xiangjiang for a period of time. He has his own informant and knows more about Xiangjiang than the other two women, so her attitude is more resolute.

However, they were all rejected by Li Zhiwen. In Li Zhiwen's words, this is just a small scene, don't worry.

So after Li Zhiwen comforted the girls, he threw himself into the massive amount of information.

Of course, Liu Xiaoli did not have the meaning of the company's top management.

After all, the big boss didn't leave Xiangjiang, and the senior management of himself left first, because he didn't want to work.

So in fact, on September 22, some high-level executives continued to influence Li Zhiwen's Xiaomi through Zhong Chuhong, Gong Li, etc., hoping to let Li Zhiwen leave.

However, Li Zhiwen directly or indirectly rejected these Xiaomi suggestions.

Valley Chop

Originally, these high-level executives had given up, but a phone call from Los Angeles just happened to come.

Everyone knows that Liu Xiaoli, a canary, is different from other Xiaomi. This is the seed of Li Zhiwen, so he rekindled his confidence and persuaded Liu Xiaoli to persuade Li Zhiwen to leave.

Of course Liu Xiaoli was in a hurry, so she called Li Zhiwen involuntarily, and even took out an emotional card like Li Yifei, but she was also rejected.

Therefore, the top management of the company completely gave up at this time, and did not continue.

In fact, Li Zhiwen knew about the small moves of the top executives of these companies, but he could only pretend that he didn't see it, otherwise, it was hard to say what he thought about it.

After all, no one is Li Zhiwen, and he knows that things can be resolved quickly and satisfactorily.

And in fact, Li Zhiwen can't leave no matter what, the nature of leaving has changed, which will greatly reduce people's impression of Li Zhiwen.

After all, if he leaves, he is running away, even if he doesn't trust him, how can Li Zhiwen get along in the future, and how can he be the leading brother of Chinese businessmen.

So not to say that there is nothing wrong, even if something happens, Li Zhiwen can't leave.

Don't you see that Huo and Bao have not left, even Li Jiacheng and Li Zhaoji have no intention of leaving.

At 10:00 a.m. on September 24, the exchange rate between the Hong Kong dollar and the US dollar completely broke through 9:1 and came to 9.1:1.

The Hong Kong Governor's Mansion at the Peak of Peace was as usual, and there was still no movement.

In fact, from an outsider's point of view, the Hong Kong Governor's Office really did not move.

But in the eyes of the people in the Hong Kong Governor's Office, the Hong Kong Governor's Office is very busy, and meetings are held over and over again.

And from time to time laughter and laughter came from the conference room to a silent expression and a sad face.

The thing is very simple, the Hong Kong dollar crisis is also fueled by them, at least the laissez-faire relationship cannot be escaped.

In fact, Xiangjiang received an instruction from the British capital, and the negotiations in the capital were not smooth, and every day there was frenzied friction on the verge of failure of the negotiation.

And Yingjing wanted Xiangjiang to do something, and told those guys in Beijing that Xiangjiang could not govern well if he left the ghost, and wanted the capital to soften.

Therefore, after observing such signs, Xiangjiang has a group of people who are fanning the flames.

The emotions that had been building up for a long time finally started to explode on September 20.

First, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar skyrocketed. Even though the Hong Kong government knew that this was bad for Hong Kong, they were confident that they could control it, so that day in the conference room of the Hong Kong Governor's Office, it was not a meeting, but a wine tasting.

The Governor of Hong Kong, Youde, took out several bottles of Bordeaux red wine that had been preserved for many years to celebrate.

On September 21, the exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar against the US dollar continued to rise, and even banks began to refuse to exchange US dollars and withdraw US banknotes. The Hong Kong Governor's Office had a trace of sorrow.

In fact, it is very simple for the Hong Kong Governor's Office to control the banks in Hong Kong through the China Banking Regulatory Commission, or let them open the channel, or let them do what.

However, the Hong Kong Governor's Office is not willing to make trouble with HSBC and Standard Chartered Bank at this time, after all, they are the chairman and vice-chairman of the China Banking Regulatory Commission.

Among the events that closed the exchange channel were HSBC and Standard Chartered.

So after thinking about it, the Hong Kong Governor's Office did not intervene in the end. After all, the trend of things was the same as that of the British and Beijing side.

On September 22, the Hong Kong Governor's Office fell into silence, not knowing what to do.

After all, too many business leaders left Hong Kong on this day, and even some ZF employees left Hong Kong for various reasons such as annual leave.

There have also been incidents of small-scale panic buying of food.

Instability is accompanied by various setbacks. Various community members on the street use this kind of banner to steal and rob, and adultery, theft and other things often happen on the streets of Xiangjiang.

Looking at the photos sent back by his subordinates, Youde was a little dazed. Is this still the prosperous Xiangjiang when he came?

Dirty and ugly, Youde can't wait to use the dirtiest words to describe it.

But Youde still didn't stop it. After all, he is very entangled now. Shouldn't he follow the instructions of Yingjing?

In the midst of such entanglements and contradictions, the sunset on September 22nd fell on Taiping Mountain, and with the setting of the sun, Youde breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

Before falling asleep, Yoder prayed to God, expecting that tomorrow would be good news and an orderly Xiangjiang.

But this will disappoint Youde, after all, this kind of thing has to go through his so-called governor no matter what.

In the early morning of September 23, Youde woke up early and turned around, dressed neatly and walked out of the room.

Seeing Alexander Pierce, the director of the Finance Institute, who was waiting outside the door, Yoder smiled wryly and understood everything.

From Alexander Pierce's position, things were even worse.

After all, on the morning of September 21st, Alexander Pierce woke up even later than Yoder, after all, they had a banquet the day before.

On the morning of September 22, Alexander Pierce was just waiting outside the Hong Kong Governor's Office, and it seemed that things were under control.

By the morning of September 23, Alexander Pierce was already pacing the conference room, and it was obvious from his expression that things were not easy.

And this morning, September 24th, UU reading www.uukanshu.com Alexander Pierce appeared at the door of his bedroom, and it was obvious that things were out of control.

Originally, Youde thought that although doing so would be a big blow to the entire Xiangjiang economy, so what, as long as you have experienced labor pains, a better tomorrow will beckon like them.

Therefore, Youde did not oppose the proposal of the British and Beijing, and even contributed to the flames.

"Let's go, Alexander, maybe we need to do something!" Yoder said with a wry smile.

"Yes, Your Excellency Youde, we really need to do something, otherwise we may lose this Oriental Pearl early!" Alexander Pierce said bluntly.

Youde smiled and didn't say anything else, but walked towards the conference room.

There were not as many people in the conference room as before. In addition to Alexander Pierce, there were only a few of Yoder's staff and a few economic advisers invited because of this problem.

"Everyone, tell me how bad things are," Youde said.
