The Wealth Empire Crossing the Hong Kong

Chapter 697 The Falkland Incident

Another year of Christmas, compared to previous years, because the joint statement has been issued, this year there is no tense situation.

Although Li Jianhui personally doesn't feel much about Christmas, he can only follow the general environment.

On this day, students are on holiday and businesses are closed, which also makes the already crowded Xiangjiang even more crowded. No matter whether it is Central, Mong Kok, or even the commercial circles in several new urban areas, there are crowds of people.

Because there are many children, and it is rare not to go to the company, Li Jianhui didn't go anywhere, and spent this Christmas warmly at home with his daughters and children.

However, on this day, an event that shocked the world happened. I don't know who gave Argen the confidence to choose to send troops to raid the Falkland Islands on such a festival.

When Li Jianhui got up the next day and received the news, he was quite shocked. He really couldn't imagine how the Argen country had the courage to act when he knew that England attached great importance to the Falkland Islands.

Shock is shocking, but Li Jianhui doesn't think Argento will be able to regain control of the Falkland Islands because of his influence.

At present, although Donghuahui has some markets in Argentina, the influence is not great, and Li Jianhui doesn't care too much about this matter, anyway, it has nothing to do with him.

It's a pity that he was wrong, and he was wrong too much. On the afternoon of the same day, Li Chen Yulian, who was the Minister of Defense of the Governor of Donghua Territory, received calls from the Queen and Thatcher one after another.

There is only one meaning, and that is to hope that the air force and navy of the Donghua Territory will accept the deployment of the British military, especially with twelve of the most advanced Mirage 2000 fighter jets.

Since the infrastructure of Donghua Territory is still under construction, sea, land and air training are all in England. It is said that it is a discussion with Chen Yulian. It is more of a notice, and it has advanced equipment. In addition to the existence of the treaty, this time England is under attack. Li Jianhui It doesn't matter whether you want to agree or not.

In order to avoid getting into a war for no reason, Chen Yulian signed a treaty with England specifically stipulating that only when England did not take the lead in launching a war and was attacked, the troops in the territory of the Donghua Society would accept the deployment of the British military.

Before, Li Jianhui believed that under his influence, it was basically impossible for Argen to take action. Without this, in the next few decades, England would basically send troops to fight against other countries. No one would attack England. The British military would not command Donghua at all. Possibility of territorial troops.

Who knew that Argentine Kingdom was so reckless this time, and Donghua Territory was also involved, leaving Li Jianhui quite speechless.

And after this time, the Donghua Club is afraid that it will lose the Argentine market, and even the development of the entire Latin American market may be hindered.

However, there are more troubles than this. A domestic report in the United States, coupled with the operations of Wall Street wolves in various stock markets, has pushed the global stock market into the abyss.

No matter how stupid Li Jianhui was at this time, he also knew that the United States must be behind Argengo's confidence in this attack, and the opponent pointed directly at England, or the British pound.

In the past two years, the internationalization of the British pound has been very fast. Not only the internal trade settlement of the Commonwealth uses the British pound, but also the internal trade of the European Community, ASEAN, mutual trade, and trade with the countries and regions of the Commonwealth. The pound is also used as the main foreign exchange.

This has led to a sharp rise in the international status of the pound. At the beginning of this year, the European Community adopted the pound for settlement, and the pound surpassed the U.S. dollar and regained the number one position in the world.

Li Jianhui originally thought that the United States would endure it for a year or two, at least until the last leader of the Soviet Union came to power and carried out economic reforms before taking action against England. After all, at present, the number one enemy of the United States is still the Soviet Union.

It's a pity that Li Jianhui overestimated the patience of the American elite, and the other party was obviously unwilling to let Ying Lun climb over their heads again.

And if you don't make a move, it's enough, and if you make a move, it will be a fatal blow. For a country caught in a war, the currency obviously cannot be strengthened. In addition, there are a lot of short selling in the stock market, and the economy will naturally be affected.

On the other hand, Japan, as the second largest economy, announced that its foreign trade will be settled in yen or US dollars. The US dollar will be Japan's main foreign exchange, and the pound will be excluded. This is also a big blow to the pound.

At the same time, the North also announced that due to the impact of the international environment, foreign exchange will reduce the pound and increase the dollar.

The problem of external attack is not that big. The biggest problem is still in the European Community. Perhaps it is the rapid economic recovery and the rapid development of high-tech industries in England in the past few years, which have made some countries in Western Europe feel threatened, or some forces are provoking inside Divide.

The central banks of many countries in the European Community expressed that they would consider issuing the unified currency of the European Community, and at the same time boost the internationalization of this currency, and also invited England to join.

This is another blow to the pound. As for abandoning the pound and issuing a unified currency with the countries of the European Community, England has never considered it at all.

The sharp drop in the pound has also caused considerable losses to countries and regions whose foreign exchange is dominated by the pound, and the stock market has also suffered heavy losses, including Xiangjiang and ASEAN.

For several days, Li Jianhui was not in a good mood. The British army had already moved towards the Falklands. However, the focus of various forces was not on the London Stock Exchange, but on the London Stock Exchange.

This is the real center of the battlefield. This time it depends on whether England can hold the exchange rate of the pound, and it depends on England's diplomatic means.

Compared with the British pound, the Falklands are just a small problem. If the British pound cannot hold this time, then the British pound will never have the opportunity to suppress the dollar and regain the glory of the early [-]th century.

Brian and Xoss in Xiangjiang also took active actions. Li Jianhui received calls from the Queen and Thatcher one after another, inviting him and Chen Yulian to visit London.

Although the situation is somewhat unfavorable for the Xinjian Department and Donghua Club, England and the United States are facing each other. This is what Li Jianhui is very willing to see, and his support for the development of England over the years is not in vain.

As long as England does not follow behind the United States wholeheartedly, after the fall of the Soviet Union, Western Europe will not be subject to the United States, and the industrial development of Donghuahui will be easier.

Even if the pound cannot be held this time, the Donghua Society will still be able to lose. After this time, the relationship between England and the United States may drop sharply. Although there will be no military confrontation, trade friction will often occur.

Various forces in Hong Kong have held emergency meetings one after another in the past few days. In the past two days, many companies, such as Xinhonghui and Xinyahui, which are backed by American capital, have been suppressed by the Blaine government.

The Far East Club even pointed the spearhead at the New Asia Club, a force backed by the First Citigroup consortium, which was under tremendous pressure at this time.

A lot of public opinion blamed Citibank and New Asia Club, which owns Citibank’s capital, as the culprit behind Hong Kong’s Hong Kong dollar and stock market crash.

Although the members of the New Asia Club feel extremely wronged, it is a pity that the public opinion has fermented now, and there are still many forces behind it. In addition, the person in charge of Citibank Xiangjiang has remained silent, so they can only say nothing now.

Under such a situation, at 12:31 pm on December [-], the Xiangjiang Financial Secretary held a Xiangjiang Financial Conference.
