HKTV: How is the Great Owl made?

In fact, the reason why Soros was so eager to go to Hong Kong Island to meet Lin Yao was.

In addition to discussing the financial war with Lin Yao during this period, he is also very interested in the young man Lin Yao.

Especially after Lin Yao's personal information, his curiosity became even more intense.

For such a young man to have such a vast career, even Hollywood movies would not dare to portray him like this.

In the afternoon of the next day, the route application was submitted.

Soros boarded his private jet accompanied by eight bodyguards and assistant Robert.

After a 17-hour flight, we arrived at Hong Kong Island International Airport.

Because the journey was very tiring and Soros was a little old, he took a rest.

I got up in the evening to prepare for all the work, and arrived at the VIP lounge of Cointreau International Hotel at 7 o'clock.

The VIP room is on the 18th floor of Juntre International Hotel.

Today the entire VIP room has been booked by Lin Yao, and no one else will interfere with their conversation.

When Soros arrived at the door of the hotel, Jimi stepped forward and said: "Hello, Mr. Soros, I am Li Jiayuan, general manager of Tianyao Group!"

"Hello, Mr. Li." Soros shook hands with Jimi, and then Jimi shook hands with Robert.

Then he took them to the VIP room on the 18th floor.

After entering the VIP room, Soros was shocked when he saw Lin Yao sitting inside!

Unexpectedly, the famous chairman of Tianyao Group was actually so young, which was beyond his imagination.

Lin Yao has a temperament that only top tycoons like them can have.

The whole person has a strong aura!

"Hello, Mr. Lin, I am Soros."

Soros stretched out his hand from a distance and said to Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao also stood up, walked over to Soros, shook hands and said:

"Hello, Mr. Soros, please sit down."

This handshake and greeting seemed ordinary, but in fact, from the moment their two big hands shook together, it was destined that the world's financial markets would set off unprecedented huge waves.

"Mr. Lin, I admire your talent and strategy very much."

"When I was your age, I didn't have any ideals at all. I was confused all day long. Compared with you, I was really far behind." Soros was the first to praise.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "Mr. Soros, you're flattered."

"Maybe the me you imagine is different from the real me."

"No, Mr. Lin, you are more powerful than I thought!"

"Last time, you didn't hesitate to waste 20 million US dollars because of my assistant's negligence. How courageous is this? I'm ashamed of myself!"

Soros said with a smile.

Lin Yao took a puff of his cigar and said, "That 20 million US dollars was not wasted because of your refusal to meet last time."

"Actually, that matter is not worth mentioning."

"Then what is your purpose? Mr. Lin." Soros asked curiously.

"The purpose is very simple. I want you to come and talk to me about whether there is any room for cooperation. I hope we can have a happy cooperation!"

"Haha, Mr. Lin, your idea is very strange, but I have seen your sincerity, and I still admire you!"

Soros laughed and said.

"That 20 million US dollars is firstly for you to witness my strength, and secondly, it is for you to see my sincerity." Lin Yao said with a smile.

"Mr. Lin, I wonder how you want to cooperate with me?"

"Based on my rough understanding of you, it seems that your main funds are placed in the stock market in Japan. Maybe I only know the surface."

"Mr. Soros, the Japanese stock market is indeed one of my priorities!"

Lin Yao said directly.

There is no need to hide this matter, because Japan's stock market is now a place where speculators from all over the world flock to, and it is no secret that Lin Yao's funds are placed there.

"Mr. Lin, your vision and courage really impress me."

"Actually, I tried it five years ago, but the Japanese company's name is just like my company's name, Too Quantum State."

"So, I failed completely that time."

"But I can tell from Mr. Lin's performance in the Japanese stock market that your vision is very accurate. I'm really not as good as you."

When Soros said this, he was honest and did not lose face at all because he was resigned to being inferior.

This is also his super quality as a top international speculator.

Be able to see your own shortcomings and recognize your opponent's strengths.

"Mr. Soros, come, drink tea and try our mainland Qimen black tea."

Lin Yao pointed to the Qimen black tea on the table and said to Soros.

"Okay, thank you Mr. Lin!"

Soros solemnly picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup.

After looking at the clear black tea and taking a sip, he said: "Good tea, really good tea. I have never tasted it before. I drink more Sri Lankan black tea and South American black tea."

"Mr. Soros, how long do you think the current prosperity of the Japanese stock market will last? What is your opinion?"

Lin Yao did not continue to discuss Qimen black tea with him, but changed the subject and asked.

This question really caught Soros off guard.

He thought that Lin Yao wanted to talk to him about the tea ceremony and then talk about business, but Lin Yao's thinking was faster than he expected.

Soros is also someone who has experienced strong winds and waves. He responded quickly and said immediately:

"Mr. Lin, I failed once against Japan. Now I am still in a state of observation. When will I end? I haven't made a conclusion yet."

"From my experience, this time Japan's bull market is likely to be irrational exuberance. So it is too risky to invest money in the Japanese stock market."

"I believe in taking risks, but I won't take risks like this."

Lin Yao shook his head and said with a smile:

"Mr. Soros, since the Japanese stock market has disinterested you, are you interested in shorting the pound with me?"

"Take a look at this information..."

In fact, this is Lin Yao's real purpose!

After finishing speaking, he pushed a prepared document from the table to Soros.

Soros glanced at Lin Yao, then lowered his head to read the information.

His face was calm.

It's just that his eyes blinked very fast, which meant that his mood was not consistent with his expression.

After 20 minutes, Soros put down the information in his hand.

After taking a sip of Keemun black tea, he said to Lin Yao:

"Mr. Lin, I am interested in your plan."

"It's just that if our opponent is the Bank of England, the funds we need will be astronomical."

"If we fail, our losses will be at least several billion dollars. Are you prepared?"

Lin Yao nodded and said: "As long as we prepare sufficient funds, we will be prepared. I have prepared 10 billion US dollars this time."

"10 billion U.S. dollars? That much??"

Soros said with some surprise.

"Yes, I will offer 10 billion U.S. dollars, and you will also have to offer 10 billion U.S. dollars. Only when this number is reached, shorting the pound will have some effect, and the probability of us losing money will be greatly reduced." Lin Yao said calmly. According to his plan, the best chance to do this is October this year.

Because the Gulf War has just ended, crude oil prices will definitely rise significantly according to market rules.

The rise in crude oil prices will completely collapse the Japanese stock market, and the exchange rates of the world's major currencies will also be chaotic.

Taking action at this time will maximize the probability of success.

And by October, Lin Yao will be able to free up a lot of funds.

Because the current market is too big, and I want to allocate 10 billion US dollars, although there is no problem in scraping it together, I still give priority to stable fishing.

"Mr. Lin, if you can really offer 10 billion US dollars, then I can consider cooperating with you."

Soros thought for a while and then said.

Based on his many years of experience, he feels that Lin Yao's analysis is absolutely correct.

And of course I will pay the same amount.

However, for the sake of safety, he added the word "consider", which can be regarded as Soros's experience in the world of martial arts accumulated over decades.

"No, Mr. Soros, I need your affirmative answer. You will pay as much as I pay!"

"Profits and risks are shared equally. What I want is certainty and sincerity!!"

Lin Yao didn't want to talk nonsense with him and said directly.

After hearing Lin Yao's words, Soros fell into thinking, but time did not grow up.

After about seven or eight seconds, he raised his head, picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup in his hand, looked at Lin Yao and said slowly word by word:

"Mr. Lin, happy to cooperate!"

"Okay, happy cooperation!!"

bite!

Lin Yao also picked up the blue and white porcelain tea cup in front of him and touched it with Soros:

"Mr. Soros. I have a saying for you to remember: the bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish!"

Afterwards, Lin Yao began to ask the waiter to serve food and drinks.

All served were Cantonese-style fresh seafood and various world-famous wines. Soros roughly estimated that this meal would cost at least 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

The decision Soros made this time was the shortest time to consider for a cooperation involving more than 100 million US dollars in his life.

It didn't take half an hour before or after.

It’s also an unprecedented first time!

The reason for this is that he has already investigated Lin Yao's overall strength.

I know that Lin Yao's current cash flow is at least more than 10 billion US dollars, and Lin Yao's fixed assets are more than 50 billion US dollars.

Of course, on the surface, Lin Yao's net worth is only about US$2 billion.

This is the number given by the world's richest people.

Because they couldn't find out how terrifying Lin Yao's true wealth was!

Only financial giants like Soros can roughly guess how terrifying Lin Yao's invisible wealth is!

It is indescribable to be able to defeat a country with wealth.

The second reason is that there are very few opportunities to operate the pound this time.

As an old empire, the pound has been very strong.

With strong gold reserves and the heritage of old colonial empires all over the world, the British pound is a world currency just like the US dollar.

Before this, even top financial giants like Soros could not even think of shorting the pound.

But Lin Yao not only dared to think, but also dared to do it, and he also dared to take huge risks!

One man challenges the central bank of an established empire...

Soros knew that if he successfully cooperated with Lin Yao, he would rewrite the world's financial history.

It may also leave a mark of its own in the history of the world.

Needless to say, this is an exciting decision.

As Lin Yao said, the greater the risk, the more expensive the fish.

Although Soros didn't know whether this sentence was a mainland proverb, he understood its meaning.

After Soros made a straightforward decision to cooperate with him, Lin Yao also breathed a sigh of relief.

Originally, he was not very sure that he could persuade Soros to cooperate with him to short the pound.

Because Soros is a real old fox, cunning and sly, and he will act after careful planning.

But the final result was a little beyond his expectations.

Soros actually agreed to cooperate with Soros, and Lin Yao had more confidence in shorting the pound.

The reason for shorting the pound is to make money.

The bigger purpose is of course to target Peng Modai.

Because after the shorting of the pound is successful, it will be the time for Peng Modai to step down!

After Peng Modai steps down, it is self-evident how much the decolonization of Hong Kong Island and his voice in Hong Kong Island will reach.

Next, Soros and Lin Yao had a frank and in-depth conversation about the international financial situation.

While eating and talking, the dinner ended at 11 o'clock without knowing it.

Soros was still reluctant to leave, but he also felt a little tired, so he said goodbye.

That night he took his private plane to leave Hong Kong and return to New York.

They were both waiting for the plan to short the pound in October.

The day after Soros left Hong Kong, Lin Yao met Situ Ning.

Situ Ning has been developing his own power in the United States for more than half a year.

Today he has a certain amount of power and came to see Lin Yao to implement the plan that Lin Yao had made for him earlier.

"Miss Situ, the time has come. I have seen your strength, so we will proceed with the next plan!"

Lin Yao did not have too many greetings with Situ Ning, because Situ Ning and Lin Yao did not like to waste.

She and he were originally pure and elegant.

"Mr. Lin, I promised to help you do two things, and I will do what I say!!" Situ Ning said slowly.

"Okay, I want you to return to Hongmen and you will control the entire Hongmen!"

"My business and power are going to the United States. First, I have to lay out the security business."

"Of course, the security business is not the only one, there are other ideas, but the first step is to deal with the underground rivers and lakes in the United States!"

Lin Yao looked at Situ Ning and said slowly.

After hearing Lin Yao's words, Situ Ning fell into deep thought.

She understood what Lin Yao meant.

Lin Yao's meaning was actually very simple, that is, to let Situ Ning replace his brother Situ Chu's position and control the entire Hongmen.

Through him to control Hongmen, the entire huge Hongmen is in Lin Yao's hands.

Lin Yao watched Situ Ning fall into thought, and did not urge her, but watched quietly.

After half a minute of silence, Situ Ning had made up her mind. She looked at Lin Yao and said:

"Mr. Lin, I promise you!!"

In Situ Ning's heart, Lin Yao wanted him to replace her brother to control Hongmen, and she was a little hesitant.

After all, he was born in Hongmen, and although he did not have much affection for this brother, they were compatriots anyway.

However, his promise to Lin Yao was greater than any other factors. (End of this chapter)
