The continued deterioration of East Asian economy is a major negative news for Hong Kong's economy.

Because the reason why Hong Kong can develop is logistics. The cargo throughput of Hong Kong ports ranks among the top in the world. Because of the prosperity of trade, it has driven the development of finance, real estate, entertainment, tourism, etc.

However, today, the export and import volume of East Asian countries plummeted due to the economic crisis, causing Hong Kong ports to lose a large number of orders, thus affecting Hong Kong's trade income. Even Hong Kong's position as the center of East Asian cargo operation is seriously threatened.

This also makes the outside world unanimously bearish on the future of Hong Kong, believing that it is likely to become a dead port before it returns.

Therefore, foreign capital has accelerated its withdrawal from Hong Kong, and wealthy people have transferred funds to the outside world, while people above the middle class have seized time to go through immigration procedures.

As a result, Hong Kong's economy worsened even more. The stock market, futures market and real estate market plummeted across the board. Compared with before the crisis, Hengsheng's stock index fell less than one-third of the decline, and the real estate market price was directly cut in half, which made investors cry.

In the past, the Hong Kong stock market and the real estate market soared for many years.

The stock market has more than doubled every year from 1,000 points in 1990 to 10,000 points in 1996; the Hong Kong real estate market is so hot that houses are snatched, and there are long people at every opening. In order to compete for the position, there are fights every time. After winning the lottery, you can earn one or two million by just one throw.

Therefore, over the years, many people in Hong Kong have been involved in the army of real estate speculation and stock speculation. Because they made too much money, people at that time lived extremely luxuriously.

Generally speaking, stock traders enter the market at 9 o'clock and can make a stable profit by the closing at noon. At most, they can make millions, at least tens or twenty thousand, and they are all happy.

So at noon, I went to eat shark fin and enjoy a hearty meal. After eating abalone shark fin, I went to Central next to the exchange to buy a few brand-name bags to reward myself. I opened in the afternoon and then went back to the exchange to trade stocks. In the evening, Pu Bar, midnight snacks, karaoke, nightclubs... those years were really indulgent and extremely casual.

And the happier they lived before, the more painful they lived now.

This month alone, just fifteen days have passed, and there have been 135 people killed in Hong Kong.

Moreover, the self-killing styles have been renovated. In addition to those who jumped off buildings, jumped into the sea, and hung them, charcoal-burning self-killing has also become popular recently.

Most of the people who kill themselves are because of their investment failure, their company goes bankrupt, their jobs, and their houses are not going well, so they can't think of it for a moment and go to a dead end.

These things were originally news. Later, because there were too many people who killed themselves, similar news gradually changed from newspaper headlines to social pages. Moreover, the social pages gradually changed from half-page to matchbox-sized news. There is no way, and there is no way to deal with the matters of living people, so who has the heart to care about dead people?

...

The hottest news in Hong Kong is that Hong Kong people raise funds and accused Huifeng Bank of China, requiring it to recycle the Hong Kong dollar printed and issued by it at the exchange rate set by the Hong Kong British Government and return the same amount of US dollars to the Hong Kong people.

At the beginning, the people thought this lawsuit was just a joke.

Because it is impossible to win the lawsuit. After all, it represents the British and even Fatting will not accept such cases.

However, with the trial of the lawsuit, the case entered the formal trial stage, and the continuous reports from newspapers and media have made the case more and more attention.

The people have also changed their previous jokes and are very eager to win the lawsuit. After all, if the lawsuit is won, they will be blessed. They can exchange them for US dollars at the exchange rate stipulated by the Hong Kong government. In this way, their money will be kept.

Therefore, whenever Fating opened a trial, a large group of people spontaneously ran to the door of Fating to cheer for the plaintiff. Some people organized a fundraising campaign to raise lawyer fees for the plaintiff.

It is very expensive to sue in Hong Kong. A top lawyer charges at least six figures per hour. Of course, young and unqualified lawyers may have a relatively cheap price for lawsuits.

But how can young and unqualified lawyers compete with the lawyers hired by the consortium? Such lawsuits may even be lost even if they are originally a sure win.

Therefore, in order to win the lawsuit, we have to spend a high price to hire a top lawyer. In this way, economic pressure will make many people discourage the lawsuit.

And this is actually the trick of those capitalists. Through their high lawyer fees, they have raised the threshold for ordinary people to sue, making them unable to afford to sue.

In this way, invisibly, they monopolize the country's judicial resources, and even control the country's law enforcement agencies. This makes it more convenient for them to oppress ordinary people and act as a mighty person.

...

Compared to the people who hope that the lawsuit can be won, the Huifeng Group and the Hong Kong British Mansion hope that the lawsuit can be lost.

Because once the lawsuit is won, the exchange rate must collapse. Over the years, the Hong Kong dollar issued by it has exceeded one trillion. If it is converted into US dollars at the exchange rate set by the Hong Kong government, then don’t say that the exchange rate does not have that much foreign exchange, even if there is, after the exchange rate is completed, the exchange rate will collapse.

But it is not easy to lose the lawsuit.

Because the impact of this lawsuit is too great now, all walks of life in Hong Kong, and even countries around the world, are paying attention to this lawsuit. I wonder how many legal experts, economists, government heads, consortiums, etc. are analyzing the winners and losses of this lawsuit.

If the verdict is a little unfair, it will cause an uproar in the world.

At that time, Hong Kong's Fazhi, the British nationality, the credibility of the Huifeng, and the career of the Faguan... will all be destroyed.

Therefore, no matter how much Hong Kong British Government and Huifeng Group want to lose the lawsuit, they cannot carry out undercover operations in this case. Otherwise, it would have become a big joke in the international community.

Therefore, the only way they can take is to delay time as much as possible to wait for change.

On the one hand, delaying time will greatly increase the cost of litigation. For example, Gong Ruxin's property dispute case has been fought for several years, and the litigation attorney fees are as high as tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. However, the Hong Kong people who initiated the lawsuit this time are not very rich. Even if there is fundraising, it is difficult to handle hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars.

On the one hand, Hong Kong will return to the mainland in less than a year. The large-scale lawsuit in Hong Kong may not be completed for four or five years or even ten years. Just like Mei Yanfang's mother, she has fought lawsuits for more than ten years in order to compete for her inheritance, but it has not stopped yet.
