Chapter 263: Lindsay Leads the Attack From Multiple Parties

On August 10th, Lindsay took some people to Hong Kong.

On this day, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell below the 7,000-point mark.

On August 12, the Chinese men’s basketball team went to Athens.

"Feilong, what is our goal this time?" a reporter asked before boarding the bus.

"The top four is our basic goal." After Zhao Dong said that, he got on the bus.

These words lifted the reporters' spirits and made them excited.

"Oh my God, reaching the semi-finals, doesn't that mean we have a chance to win a card this time?" a reporter said excitedly.

"The top four have already set a record, which is the basic goal. Is this just bragging?" a reporter asked doubtfully.

"Did he brag about anything?" another reporter asked.

"Well, this really doesn't exist." The original reporter said awkwardly.

This World Championship without NBA players was extremely bleak in the previous life, with low attendance and little attention.

But in this life, with the addition of Zhao Dong, the topic and influence are relatively much higher.

When the Chinese men's basketball team arrived, the chairman of the organizing committee personally went to the airport to greet them, and a deputy secretary-general of FIBA ​​also went there.

Then the organizing committee arranged the best training hall for the Chinese team, and also arranged pick-up and drop-off vehicles, with top-notch treatment.

"For the first time in history, our national basketball team has never had such good treatment outside." Liu Yumin, who led the team, said with a smile.

"Who allowed us to have a flying dragon in our team? This is the biggest world sports superstar in this World Championships." Jiang Xinquan joked.

On the 17th, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index fell below 6,500 points.

There are market rumors that the Hang Seng Index will fall below 4,000 points.

Four thousand points, if it really falls below that mark, it means that two-thirds of Hong Kong's wealth will evaporate, and almost every family will go bankrupt.

Also on this day, the World Championships started.

The Chinese team is in Group B, the same group as the American team.

The current Chinese men's basketball team is already pretty good, and with the addition of Zhao Dong and NBA-trained Hu Weidong, it is even stronger. It defeated all its opponents in the group stage, including the unbeatable American team, and successfully finished first in the group. Identity reached the quarterfinals.

Zhao Dong himself is a world-class sports superstar alongside Jordan in basketball. There is no one else participating in the NBA now. He is the only super star in this World Championship. Almost all the media and fans pay attention to him. Every time the Chinese team Every game is crowded with media and full of fans.

Huang Zhiwen, who was born in sales, immediately seized this opportunity and opened a flagship store in Athens. Taking advantage of Zhao Dong's attention, he began to expand his European business.

In the knockout round, the Chinese team's quarter-final opponent is Australia.

If you win this game, you can advance to the quarterfinals and make history.

On the 26th, Zhao Dong lived up to expectations. He played a 30+ triple-double. Under his leadership, the Chinese team defeated Australia and reached the semi-finals, creating the best result in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

On the 28th, at 8pm, in the semi-finals, the Chinese team will face the United States team.

On this day, Hong Kong's financial market ushered in a decisive battle.

This day is Monday, the settlement day of the Hang Seng Index futures, and also the last opportunity for Quantum Fund represented by Soros to short Hong Kong.

If the Hang Seng Index cannot soar before settlement, Soros's short-selling plan will succeed, and the short orders placed before will make huge profits.

But once the Hang Seng Index soars, the short side will also suffer a disastrous defeat.

The winning line is 7,500 points on the Hang Seng Index. If the Hang Seng Index is pushed below 7,500 points, Soros and other short sellers will reap huge profits.

The current Hang Seng Index is not far from the 4,000-point mark. To push it to 7,500 points under the pressure of the short side, countless funds are needed.

This morning, Kowloon, Hong Kong was caught in a thunderstorm, wind and rain, and people's hearts were agitated, so Hong Kong people turned their attention to Central.

145 billion U.S. dollars, a total of 1.090 billion Hong Kong dollars. This is the money brought to Hong Kong by the central bank, and it is all the foreign exchange reserves.

At the same time, all Chinese-funded institutions in Hong Kong are also required to participate in this battle to defend Hong Kong.

Lindsay and a group of her men are in a building in Central, not far from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

This time, as originally agreed with Zhao Dong, she brought over two billion US dollars, totaling 17.5 billion Hong Kong dollars.

At ten o'clock, the market opens.

International speculators led by Soros focused on the two major Hang Seng Index constituent stocks, namely HSBC Holdings and Hong Kong Telecom. Suddenly, as soon as the market opened, the speculators' selling was fierce and the offensive was overwhelming.

In just five minutes after the market opened, the transaction volume reached HK$4 billion.

Facing the raging offensive of speculators, the Hong Kong government accepted all the orders and took whatever you threw at me. This was the only strategy. There was no chance of retreating.

On the 33 Hang Seng Index constituent stocks, the Hong Kong government has set up a "heavy force" defense. The soldiers will block it, the water will cover it, and no one will be left. They will buy them all.

At 10:35 a.m., the transaction volume climbed to 40 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the average transaction volume per minute reached nearly 1.2 billion.

"It's time for the decisive battle. We must break through the four thousand point mark. Then their psychological barrier will be broken by us, and then we will be able to take whatever we want."

When the market was closed at noon, Soros contacted some European funds. This was his reserve ammunition.

When the opening bell rang in the afternoon, the two sides immediately started a hand-to-hand battle. At this time, there was no way out.

The short side composed of international speculators used up their last ammunition and launched an attack on the Hang Seng Index's heavyweight component, HSBC Holdings.

At this moment, the whole world's focus was focused.

The Hong Kong government has spent 30 billion Hong Kong dollars. On average, every minute is a duel between tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars and US dollars.

Every tick of the Hang Seng Index means a fight of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

At 15:10, the Hang Seng Index was still hovering below 7,500 points, and time was running out.

Lindsay stared at the computer screen in front of him with indifferent eyes, frantically analyzing the situation of both the long and short sides in his mind.

Zhao Dong told her that China would definitely do its best to protect Hong Kong. From the analysis of today's multi-party capital trends, she saw this situation.

"My husband's game has begun, and I'm going to start too."

She looked at the time. It was three o'clock here and eight o'clock in Greece.

"Get ready to take over."

"All futures selling, all follow."

At 15:15, she gave the order.

"What?"

Yiqian's men were shocked.

Judging from the current situation, it is obvious that the strength of the long side is insufficient and the short side has the upper hand. If you take over at this time, you will really become the taker. Can it be done?

"Execute immediately."

Lindsay's almond-shaped eyes narrowed and her voice became colder.

"Yes, President."

Yiqian's men quickly took action.

Ten minutes later, Lindsay's funds had been consumed by 20%, but the futures selling was still fierce.

The subordinates looked at Lindsay from time to time, and there was cold sweat on everyone's forehead.

"Slow down and give them a signal." Lindsay raised her hand and said.

"call!"

The men breathed a sigh of relief.

But they don’t understand, who should they give the signal to? Did Storm Fund join forces with someone?

"President Zhang, the speed of the funds received has slowed down. It is likely that there is insufficient funds. In just these ten minutes, it is estimated that three billion Hong Kong dollars have been invested."

Someone reported in an office in a building not far away.

"So many? Have you found out who it is?" President Zhang asked.

"If we can't find it, maybe some Chinese-funded institution entered the market first? We have no other friends, they can only be our own. President Zhang, this capital has opened the way for us. Now we can just take advantage of the trend and start ?"

"..."

Governor Zhang wiped his sweat. The funds in his hand were the country's last bit of foreign exchange. If he threw it in, it would be gone.

There were many people in the office, all staring at his face, and his pressure was as high as the sky.

"Stop taking offers."

At this time, Lindsay ordered.

"President Zhang, the acquisition of that share of funds has been interrupted. If we don't renew it, their funds will be wasted."

"boom!"

President Zhang slammed his fist on the table and shouted sternly: "Let's start scanning the goods. All futures are coming. In addition, notify all Chinese-funded institutions that it is time to fight hard."

After Lindsay ordered to stop taking orders, her eyes were fixed on the screen. Twenty seconds later, a large amount of funds poured in, and the selling orders hanging on it quickly decreased. Her eyes moved and she waved: "Continue to scan the goods. Don’t leave even a coin behind. For the decisive battle, you have to be fierce, ferocious, move forward unyieldingly, use momentum, and force those short sellers into long positions.”

"President Zhang, that stock of funds has started again. It's so fierce that it takes all big orders and wipes out all the short orders. The short side is a little timid now. Do we want to follow?"

"Follow me!"

President Zhang shouted loudly.

In this financial decisive battle, at the most critical moment, Lindsay came out and made indiscriminate purchases of futures sold by international hot money.

Under her guidance, all Chinese funds rushed out with overwhelming momentum, overwhelming the short side in one fell swoop and pushing futures prices higher.

In order to close their positions, many short funds were forced to move to the long side, and they began to turn around and crush the short side, until the short side was bleeding like a river.

In the futures market, the short side was defeated by this.

The changes in the futures market were immediately reflected in the stock market. A huge amount of buying orders poured in, and the Hang Seng Index rose steadily. At 15:40, it broke through the 7,500-point mark in one fell swoop.

"boom!"

The moment it broke through this barrier, the whole of Hong Kong was boiling.

"It's over!"

At this moment, Soros and the other bosses turned pale.

Ten minutes later, the Hang Seng Index rose to the 8,000-point mark. When the market closed at 16:00, it stabilized at around 8,321 points, and the futures index settlement point was 8,378 points.

Soros was completely defeated in the foreign exchange market, futures market, and stock market, and suffered heavy losses.

In the last life, the Hang Seng Index only rose to 7820 points on this day. In this life, due to Lindsay's participation, the losses of Soros and other short sellers were more than ten times greater than in the previous life. All short sellers lost more than 12 billion in Hong Kong. Dollar.

"Check it for me. I want to know who owns that fund." When leaving Hong Kong, Soros, who was physically and mentally exhausted, ordered.

In Greece, Zhao Dong once again had a 30+ triple-double, leading the men's basketball team to defeat Bu San Bu Si again, making history again and reaching the finals.

"Husband, congratulations, we won."

"Thank you, wife. I also won here."

After the game, Zhao Dong called Lindsay to learn about the situation in Hong Kong.

In just half an hour of this battle in Hong Kong, Lindsay's Storm Fund made more than a billion dollars in futures alone.

The money was invested in the Hong Kong stock market and she purchased a large number of Chinese shares.

On the 29th, Yugoslavia defeated Russia and reached the final.

On the 30th, Russia defeated the United States and won the third place in this world championship, while the American team only finished fourth.

On this day, Lindsay arrived in Greece.

"Husband, I bought a lot of Chinese company stocks, and our information will be found in China." After meeting, Lin Daodao said.

"If we find it, we'll find it. What are we afraid of?" Zhao Dong said with a smile.

"Then tell me, I have done a favor to the country. Is it worth getting Chinese nationality?" Lindsay smiled.

"It's worth it, it's definitely worth it. When they find you later, you will mention the conditions for naturalization. But I don't think you need to rush to naturalize. We are now working and living in the United States, and you are working in finance on Wall Street. It will be very uncomfortable to naturalize in China. Convenient." Zhao Dong analyzed.

Lindsay was startled and nodded quickly: "My husband is right. I now hold multiple nationalities of Spain, Switzerland, and the United States. It is indeed very convenient, and Wall Street has not rejected me."

On September 1st, the finals begin.

The former leader of the Yugoslav men's basketball team is the famous Lakers center Divac, but this time he is limited to NBA rules and cannot participate.

Toni Kukoc is also unable to participate this time.

The current leader of the Yugoslav men's basketball team is Dejan Bodiloga. This gentleman was selected by the NBA Kings with the 11th pick in the first round in 1995, but he refused to go to the NBA.

He therefore famously said: "Why go to the United States if I can enjoy success in Europe?"

Bodiloga is 205 centimeters tall. Like Zhao Dong, he weighs 105 kilograms. He is a point guard, but like Magic Johnson, he can play any position. He mainly plays the one, two and three positions and is called the White Magician.

Peja, the 14th pick in the first round of the NBA in 1996, was his substitute at this time, but due to NBA rules, he did not participate in this World Championship.

At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, he and Divac led the Yugoslavia men's basketball team to five wins in five group matches, only losing to Dream Team 3 led by Dameng and Barkley in the final, finishing second.

Bodiloga won 11 MVPs and 19 championships in Europe during his lifetime. He was a typical champion harvester and would later be known as the strongest international player outside the NBA.

Tonight, Zhao Dong is responsible for facing Bodiloga.

As a reborn player, he is very aware of Yugoslavia's basketball prowess.

This was also the last of Yugoslavia, which later became several countries.

In the future, these countries will produce many famous NBA stars, including Doncic, Dragic, Jokic, Nurkic, Bognovic and so on.

The Yugoslavs are naturally tall. Although they don't have the flying talent of local NBA stars, they have a natural excellent touch and super passing ability, as well as a super high golf IQ, and they also pay attention to teamwork.

To paraphrase Ma Jian's future evaluation of Yugoslavia's basketball level, maintaining three points and competing for one is the basic level.

Before the final, both teams accepted interviews with the media.

"Bodiloga, there is a high chance that you will face Feilong in the final. What is your evaluation of Feilong? Are you confident in defeating him?" the reporter asked.

"I hope to see the strength of the NBA Finals MVP. As for whether I can beat him, I think there is no shortage of opportunities. I am confident that I can beat any player on this planet who plays against me."

Bodiloga's words were full of confidence and pride, a completely equal attitude.

"Feilong, what do you think of Bodiloga? Are you confident you can defeat him?" a reporter asked.

"He has the potential to become an NBA superstar, but I don't think he is my opponent. I can beat him on both offense and defense." Zhao Dong laughed.

"Is your goal to lead the Chinese team to win the championship?"

"We have already reached the finals, so we are definitely not here to compete for runner-up." Zhao Dong said.

In the final, the Chinese team sent out the starting inside combination of Da Zhi and Battelle, and Sun Jun, Zheng Wu, and Zhao Dong were on the outside, with Zhao Dong controlling the ball.

"The height inside is not weaker than that of Yugoslavia, but the overall height is not as good as the opponent. Teacher Song, what do you think our chances are tonight?"

Sun Zhenping said in the CCTV live broadcast.

"Our overall strength is still not as good as that of Yugoslavia, and we must have a clear understanding of this. But Zhao Dong, a young man, is too strong. If he can limit Bodiloga and display strong firepower on the offensive end, we still have a chance. "Song Shixiong smiled.

Sun Zhenping said with a smile: "Bodiroga is known as the White Magician, and Zhao Dong is now known as the combined version of Magician and Barkley in the NBA. He can also play five positions. I am optimistic that he will defeat this strong opponent." .”

At the beginning of the game, Da Zhi made a jump ball with the opponent's center Tomasevich and won, and then the Chinese team attacked.

This game is also broadcast live in the United States, and is broadcast live nationwide by ESPN.

As far away as Chicago, Phil Jackson was watching the game.

His observation targets are Zhao Dong and Da Zhi, one is his opponent and the other is his own player.
