The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 508 Conspiracy is brewing
At the First Citigroup Headquarters in New York, an upper-level meeting of the United States was held here. In addition to representatives of the top ten American consortiums, representatives of mid-sized American consortiums such as Ford, the Southern Consortium, and the Central South Consortium were present.

"Everyone, I specially convened this meeting today to discuss our future development policy.

Although we are still the overlord at the moment, everyone must see the changes over the years. In terms of politics and military affairs, our main energy is still restrained by the Soviet Union. Because of its threat, we have to spend a lot of money on the military.

In terms of economy, we are now facing more and more opponents and challenges. Japan's economy is getting stronger and stronger than ours, and West Germany's influence in Western Europe is also growing.

Heung Kong Capital is also on the rise, not only dominating the Southeast Asian market, but also causing us great trouble in North America.

England has recently clamored to reappear the glory of the never-setting sun, and is currently implementing the British Pound System plan, intending to compete with our US dollar for world currency hegemony.

It can be said that we are now facing many enemies. Due to too much energy on military research and development, the technical quality of our civilian products can no longer be compared with similar products such as those from Japan and Germany.

In terms of information technology, especially mobile communications, computer hardware and software, semiconductors, etc., we are also unable to lead, and we are even left behind by Japanese and even Hong Kong companies in some aspects.

If you are interested, you can look at our import and export data in the past few years. You can see that in terms of industrial products, our export data is shrinking day by day, while imports are constantly rising. The trade deficit is constantly expanding, and the fiscal deficit is also increasing.

At the same time, Japanese companies are cooperating with Xiangjiang and even Western European companies to target our companies in various markets and drive our companies out of the local market.

If we don't make a strong counterattack now, I am afraid that within a few years, our business will be trapped in the local market, our dominance will be replaced by other countries, and our own strength and influence will also decline significantly.

......"

The actions of the British side this time made the helm of Citibank anxious. The special meeting held this time is to unite all parties to continue to maintain the hegemony of the United States. Their industries cannot be targeted at will.

Especially England, preparing to rebuild the sterling system, has almost touched the scales of those who are behind the scenes in the United States.

After two world wars, England was finally pulled down. How could they be willing to watch England rise again.

It has always been one of their goals to build the U.S. dollar as the world's currency hegemony, and now it has basically achieved this goal. They absolutely cannot tolerate England jumping out to disrupt the situation at this time.

The representative of the California consortium said: "We really need to take effective actions, otherwise we will not only lose the foreign market, but also the local market will be seized by companies from East Asia and Western Europe.

It's just that there are not many methods we can take now. If the Soviet Union is in one day, it is impossible for us to completely fall out with these countries and regions.

As for market competition, as Citigroup has just said, the quality of many of our products is no longer comparable to that of Japan, West Germany or even Xiangjiang, and the price is even worse.

Except that we can maintain our products through tariffs or policy protection on the local side, we simply cannot compete with them in other markets. "

These people are very aware of the problems their own companies are currently facing. If there is a fair competition, they will lose completely.

It's just that they are obviously unwilling to decline from the position of world hegemony. In order to fight against these opponents, these people also brainstormed, and they really negotiated a few good ways.

One is to promote the appreciation of the yen, the mark, and the Hong Kong dollar, and hit the export economy of several places.

The second is to use the stock market to create economic crises in various places and win time for American companies to transform and upgrade.

The other is to accelerate the industry’s going global and strengthen cooperation with capitals from various places, especially with South Korean capital, Formosa Capital, Southeast Asian capital, Canadian capital, and Western European capital.

At the same time, the restrictions on grain exports to the Soviet Union were also lifted. The United States needed a relatively powerful Eastern European country to put pressure on Western Europe so as to contain the energy of Western Europe.

The other is to continue to promote the oil-dollar world currency system and make the dollar the world's hegemon.

Regarding the British side, one is to increase support for Argentina and encourage Argentina to provoke troubles in the Falkland Islands, and the other is to increase cooperation with the mainland, so that England loses the territory with unlimited potential in the Far East.

"Everyone, it is now a time of crisis, and we must put aside the grievances of the past, so that we can suppress these capitals.

If everyone still only sweeps the snow in front of the door, then the final result will be that all of us will decline together with the country, and the world will no longer have our right to dictate. "

Although they have not been able to deal with the Citigroup consortium, the representatives of the California consortium also voiced their support. They are very clear about what they rely on now. If the US hegemony is not there, they will also suffer heavy losses.

In terms of specific implementation, the participants also hope to promote the appreciation of the currencies of several places first, so that the local stock markets can rise sharply, and then they can reap wealth in the stock market and severely damage the local economy.

It’s just that the other countries are easy to say, only the special region of Hong Kong has different monetary policies from other countries. Whether the Hong Kong dollar appreciates or not depends on the currency of foreign exchange reserves.

At present, the largest foreign exchange reserve in Hong Kong is the U.S. dollar. The U.S. dollar depreciates, and several other major currencies appreciate. Affected by this, the Hong Kong dollar will depreciate to a certain extent.

In this regard, the representative of the DuPont consortium said: "The relationship between your Citigroup and the Xinjian Department has always been good. You can disclose some information to Li Jianhui. I believe that the other party will definitely unite with Xiangjiang's financial circles in order not to lose their own assets and Hong Kong's assets. , asking the Hong Kong Monetary Authority to exchange the currency of the foreign exchange reserve.

Affected by the depreciation of the U.S. dollar, the other party will inevitably increase the exchange rate with our U.S. dollar. We try our best to increase the exchange rate from the current 5.1 Hong Kong dollars to 1 U.S. dollar to 3 Hong Kong dollars to 1 U.S. dollar. If possible, we can even push it to 2.5 Hong Kong dollars to 1 U.S. dollar. In order to achieve the basic line of our dollar depreciation. "

This time these people can be said to be quite ruthless. They plan to depreciate the US dollar by 50% in a few years, and in disguise let several major currencies appreciate by 50%. It is hard to say whether the result is good or bad.

It is not clear how to choose other countries. The market here in Xiangjiang is small, and the capital is mainly going out. Coupled with the environment here, it is inevitable that the Hong Kong dollar will not follow the US dollar to depreciate.

If you really know the news in advance, you will inevitably make frequent moves. No one wants the value of their assets to depreciate, especially companies and financial institutions that hold a large amount of foreign exchange cash.
