Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 484 Can’t refuse
As international hedge funds, led by the Quantum Fund, engage in fierce battles with Hong Kong in the stock, foreign exchange, and futures markets;
The two sides fought fiercely, and after entering November, the first round ended, resulting in the Hang Seng Index falling all the way down, Hong Kong's economy falling into a major recession, and the stock market and property market experiencing a sharp decline!
Aaron, who returned to Hong Kong from South Korea, remained an observer and did not participate in the game.

In Hong Kong, at Aaron's hillside villa, a guest arrived: Jacob Rothschild.

He is the current patriarch of the British branch of the Rothschild family.

"Aaron, it seems you haven't participated in Hong Kong's stock and foreign exchange markets this time!"

Aaron smiled. "I'm not a professional financial speculator; my main profession is entertainment."

"Besides, Hong Kong has just returned to China, and there's a huge entity behind it, so there's no need for that."

Jacob Rothschild thought for a moment, "You mean, you're not optimistic about the impact on the Hong Kong dollar?"

“I’m not optimistic,” Aaron said, taking a sip of his tea. “Besides, my focus right now is mainly on South Korea.”

"In Hong Kong, you've divided up every industry. The financial and real estate markets are the pillar industries of Hong Kong. Can I get in?"

HSBC, Jardine Matheson, and Swire, these powerful conglomerates, have been rooted in Hong Kong for many years, along with the Chinese-owned conglomerates they have supported.
Why would Aaron, from an American-owned conglomerate, be allowed in?

The Rothschild family also had complicated relationships with HSBC, Jardine Matheson, and Swire. This group of Jews was greedy and insatiable, and Aaron didn't want to get involved.
Most of these hedge fund lunatics are Jewish!

Jacob Rothschild glanced at Aaron Anderson. "No wonder, the interests in South Korea are indeed quite attractive."

In the previous Southeast Asian market, some American financial groups, represented by Tianhai Fund, acted very decisively.

After arriving in Hong Kong, Tianhai Fund suddenly went quiet, which affected a number of American financial groups!
Britain ruled Hong Kong for a century and a half, and its influence was multifaceted.

Even if the Hong Kong dollar falls, the pie of Hong Kong will still be divided up by these British guys.

Aaron shrugged. "You know, the competition between Europe and us Americans is quite fierce right now."

"By the way, it seems that Britain didn't participate in the euro negotiations. The pound wants to maintain its independence, so the euro is a threat, right?"

“Aaron, you’ve gained enough this time!” Jacob Rothschild simply shook his head.

Aaron shrugged. "This attack on the Hong Kong dollar, while not achieving the desired result, still netted you at least a billion Hong Kong dollars."

"Judging from what you're saying, you'll probably come back next year!"

After all, Hong Kong's economy is in a mess right now, and it will definitely be worse next year, which is a good opportunity.

Jacob Rothschild smiled, then stood up. "Perhaps next time you won't be able to resist."

"Alright, I've disturbed you today, I'll head back now!"

Aaron also stood up and saw Jacob Rothschild out.

Watching the other car drive away, Aaron shook his head dismissively, "Sure enough, the troublemaker tradition continues!"

Before Hong Kong's return to China, these guys drove the local real estate market to an alarmingly high level, making everyone in Hong Kong speculate on property.

Now, with the housing market collapsing, too many people have had their savings wiped out, and more and more people are going bankrupt.

In the evening, at the Furama Hotel in Hong Kong, Aaron and Henry Keswick, Chairman of Jardine Matheson, attended a business cocktail party together!
"Aaron, it seems the US is welcoming of China's accession to the WTO?"

Henry Keswick inquired about Jardine Matheson's extensive holdings in Asia, particularly in Hong Kong; now that Hong Kong had returned to China, Henry Keswick was naturally concerned.

"It's a good thing to join. American goods need new dumping grounds, and raw materials and labor in China are cheap enough!"

Clinton was supportive, and negotiations between the two sides have been ongoing.

"By the way, I heard that Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa recently acquired a combined 3% stake in Jardine Matheson Holdings and Hongkong Land International."

"Moreover, the Jardine Matheson Group also sold some non-core assets and made a profit."

As Aaron spoke, he looked at the hotel. In the middle of the year, Peter Lam spent HK$69 billion to acquire this large hotel in Central.

Now, with the property market collapsing and Lai Sun Development's high debt, it sounds terrifying.

"Oh, Aaron, are you also interested in Jardine Matheson?"

Henry Keswick's eyes lit up. Cheung Kong and Hutchison Whampoa had each acquired 3% of Jardine Matheson and Hongkong Land's shares this year.
Fearing that Chinese capital would replace British capital, he specifically negotiated with groups such as Li Ka-shing's Cheung Kong Holdings, Cheng Yu-tung's New World Development, and Lee Shau-kee's Henderson Land Development, persuading these Chinese companies not to purchase any shares in the Jardine Matheson Group for the next seven years.

Aaron shook his head. "My businesses are mainly in Europe and America. The Hong Kong market is monopolized by a few of you companies. Why would I have any designs on it?"

The economy is inseparable from politics, and Aaron has no policy backing in Hong Kong.

Henry Keswick smiled. Aaron Anderson's current status is quite impressive; his influence in the United States is extraordinary!
After talking with Henry Keswick, Aaron suddenly saw a female celebrity, very beautiful, who was Lai Chi, who played Little Stutterer in the "Young and Dangerous" series;
She has a round and full face, a standard oval face, delicate and three-dimensional features, soft and smooth lines, and eyes like springs, a straight and upturned nose, cherry-like lips, and a beautiful figure!
"Beautiful lady, may I have this dance?"

Aaron very gentlemanly stepped forward and invited him!
“Ah, okay,” Li Zhi said, only pausing for a moment before extending her hand.

Soon, the two were on the dance floor, moving to the music. "I'm Aaron Anderson, may I know your name?"

“Mr. Anderson, I am Li Zhi, an actress,” Li Zhi said, glancing at the other person.

"Furthermore, I've seen reports about Mr. Anderson in the newspapers; he's the owner of the Hollywood Dawn Group!"

Aaron smiled. "Am I that famous in Hong Kong?"

Li Zhi nodded. "Mr. Anderson has always been very famous, and I've also worked on films produced by Media Asia Films."

"I've heard that Media Asia Films has connections with Mr. Anderson!"

Aaron replied casually, "There is indeed some connection; my investment company holds shares in Media Asia Films."

"Moreover, the films invested in by Media Asia Films in the past two years have performed quite well in Hong Kong."

“Yes, Mr. Anderson…”

"Shh, just call me Aaron," Aaron interrupted, putting his arm around the woman's waist. "I'd like to invite you to lunch tomorrow, is that alright?"

Li Zhi pondered for a moment and then nodded.

Now 26 years old, Li Zhi really can't bring herself to refuse the renowned Aaron Anderson...
