Chapter 1457: Behind you is a bottomless abyss!

Global TV is now the most well-known TV station in Hong Kong and even in Southeast Asia.

There is no one else!

Relying on exciting programs such as movies and TV dramas, as well as professional columns on people's livelihood, the economy, politics, etc., Global TV can be said to be unrivalled in terms of ratings.

Whether it is Hong Kong's only rival TVB or the national television stations of other Southeast Asian countries, they can only watch from behind.

With Xia Yu's capital empire's influence and control in Southeast Asia, Global TV will no longer encounter political suppression, and no political system dares to do so.

So if you want to defeat Global TV, you can only rely on hard power!

And head-to-head competition, heh...Global TV is not at all inferior!

Monday morning work hours are when the ratings are relatively low.

The ratings of the GTV Finance Channel are lower than those of the entertainment channels, and it is difficult to guarantee ratings when temporarily replacing the programme with a live interview.

In order to achieve the effect that Xia Yu wants, Huang Xizhao is also desperate, mobilising the resources of the entire TV station to build up momentum for this live interview.

The entertainment channel, news channel, livelihood channel...all channels temporarily switch advertisements, and announcements are repeatedly broadcast.

Although the content of the announcement is simple, it is extremely eye-catching and can completely arouse the curiosity of the audience.

'At 10:30 a.m., let's meet on the Global TV Finance Channel's 'Financial Perspective'. Well-known economics professor Liu Jinhui and Deputy Director of the Financial Management Bureau Zhang Tianfeng will be on the live broadcast stage, taking you through the thrilling battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar!'

Time was tight and the task was important!

When he received the notice, Liu Jinhui was still teaching a class at Jiuding University, but the special task was so important that he had to leave class early, take the school's special car to the Global TV headquarters, and use the time on the way to familiarise himself with the task.

As for Global TV, it was even busier than usual, but with Huang Xizhao personally directing the preparations, they were carried out in an orderly manner.

Time passed by minute by minute.

As it approached 10:30,

'President, the ratings are already 11.4%, and the audience share has reached 92.7%!'

Huang Xizhao, who was backstage keeping a close eye on the situation in the studio, heard the report from his subordinate and a smile appeared on his serious face.

Viewership is calculated by dividing the number of televisions turned on by the total number of televisions. At this time of day in the morning, a viewership rating of 11.4% is extremely high, and under normal circumstances, two or three points is considered very good.

Half an hour ago, the viewership rating of the finance channel was less than two points, and it has increased nearly five times in half an hour!

Looking at the real-time viewership share of over nine floors, at least the publicity and mobilisation have been done extremely well. No matter what happens later, with this data as a foundation, he can also hand in his work to Xia Yu.

At 10:30 p.m., the Global TV Finance Channel advertisement ended and the programme 'Financial Perspective' officially began.

Viewers all over the world watched the studio scene on their televisions.

'Good morning, everyone, welcome to 'Financial Perspective,' I'm your old friend Xiao Mingyuan!'

The middle-aged host in formal attire smiled and bowed slightly to say hello.

He then introduced the guests sitting on either side.

'For this live broadcast, we are honoured to have invited two heavyweight guests: Professor Liu Jinhui, a professor at the School of Economics at Jiuding University, a well-known contributor to Economic Weekly, and deputy director of the Jiuding Think Tank Business Research Institute,'

'and Mr Zhang Tianfeng, deputy director of the Xiangjiang Financial Authority.'

'Hello to all of you watching at home, I'm Liu Jinhui!'

'Hello to all of you watching, I'm Zhang Tianfeng!'

...

Charles Rothschild and his son Sean sat together, intently watching the television screen.

In terms of attacking the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, the Charles Rothschild family had already exhausted all their funds last Friday due to financial problems. Therefore, Charles Rothschild's main task now was to act as the family's eyes in Hong Kong, constantly gathering useful information and reporting back to the family in a timely manner.

And Charles Rothschild would not miss such a big move by Global TV.

'...Although Hong Kong is an international trading city with frequent foreign currency transactions, for ordinary people or investors, foreign exchange trading is a very unfamiliar field.'

'However, these days, due to the turbulent foreign exchange market in Hong Kong and the competition among major media to report on it, I believe many of our viewers have also gained some understanding of the Hong Kong foreign exchange market.'

'And now, from a professional and holistic perspective, we will let everyone know why we are fighting to defend the Hong Kong dollar, and what the consequences will be if we win or lose!'

'Please let Professor Liu explain first.'

On the TV screen, after Xiao Mingyuan had finished speaking, he handed the microphone to Liu Jinhui.

The latter was not daunted, and after picking up the microphone, he spoke eloquently.

'The battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar is still ongoing, but before explaining the battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar, everyone needs to know the background to the battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar!'

'I don't know if you remember the sudden stock market crash that just ended?'

'I believe that those of you who follow the news should know that the previous stock market crash was man-made. More than 20 financial institutions, including the British Rothschild Investment Company, the British Thorp Capital Management Company, S.G. Warburg, and the Dutch Deep Sea Fund, were jealous of the wealth accumulated in Hong Kong over the years and attempted to loot it through Hong Kong stocks, but they were strongly defeated by our local financial predators.'

'Nowadays, the Hang Seng Index has broken through 5,000 points. Every time the Hang Seng Index rises, these trapped institutions lose more money.'

'Although these institutions are trapped by the bet contracts, they have a huge amount of Hong Kong dollars in their hands because of a series of cashouts before. These Hong Kong dollars are the basis of their attacks on the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.'

'They are trying to undermine the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate system, thereby undermining the confidence of the public and investors in the Hong Kong dollar, and damaging the entire financial system of Hong Kong, in order to achieve the goal of once again collapsing the Hong Kong stock market and ultimately complete the plundering of Hong Kong wealth.'

'Hearing this, everyone should understand that the ongoing battle to defend the Hong Kong dollar is not only to defend the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate system, but also to protect the entire financial system of Hong Kong, and the wealth of all Hong Kong people and those who come to invest in Hong Kong!'

'The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, Jiuding Bank, Hang Seng Bank and other institutions are fighting for the people of Hong Kong!'

'Today is the fiercest day of the battle, and the day of the decisive battle. The future of Hong Kong depends on this battle!'

When he said the last sentence, Liu Jinhui couldn't help standing up, his eyes determined, his face grim, and he swung his fists hard.

Almost all the viewers in front of the TV couldn't help but feel a tightening in their hearts, and many even prayed in secret.

But there were exceptions.

For example, Charles Lochiel and his son.

Sean Lochiel couldn't help but say, 'Father, can the outcome really be determined today?'

Charles Lochiel frowned, but kept his eyes fixed on the TV. He said in a heavy tone, 'Yesterday's plan was set like this. The original plan is the plan, but the actual implementation will depend on the situation.'

'But now, it's impossible not to fight until the end!'

'Once these words are spoken, neither side can retreat until the ammunition runs out. Whoever retreats loses!'

'They have completely seized control of public opinion. Even if the battle is not over today, we have already lost if we don't retreat!'

Sean Rothschild was stunned for a moment, and then instantly understood the reasoning. He stared hard at Liu Jinhui on the TV screen and said with clenched teeth, 'Damn it, they actually used this tactic.'

Charles Rothschild couldn't help but sigh, 'This live commentary is too crucial, and the only person who can do this is Xia Yu behind the scenes.'

'At present, Hong Kong has attracted the attention of the world.'

'If they can maintain the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate, then from now on, Hong Kong will be seen by global capital as a stable and safe financial trading centre, a harbour for capital to rest.'

'Even if we want to attack Hong Kong again in the future, the difficulty will increase exponentially, and other institutions will also carefully consider whether to participate.'

'And if they lose today, they may also wage a public opinion war, temporarily reversing right and wrong, or calling on the entire nation to fight against us, and we may not necessarily be able to win in the end.'

'There's nothing we can do. This is their home turf, and they have the most powerful media...'

Sean Lohier was speechless when he thought about the current situation in Xiangjiang.

This was the truth, and there was no solution for the time being. Who could blame Xia Yu for having such a huge media empire?

"Let's notify the family. The enemy has already spread the impact of the battle across the board. If we lose, all our companies will lose face.'

'If the enemy launches a large-scale malicious propaganda campaign in Europe, then all the companies that participated in the war will experience the biggest investor confidence crisis in history!'

'If we're not careful, some companies may even go bankrupt...'

'It's a bottomless pit...'
