At 16:15 on June 30, 1997, Patten took the British flag that the guards would never raise here, and lowered the Governor's flag in front of the Governor's Office, rolled it into a bag, and clamped it under his arm.

The flag of the Governor was lowered, which means that the Governor had successfully retired. Traditionally, when the Governor left office, he would take the road in front of the Governor's office for three weeks, indicating that he would return to the old place in the future, but Patten's driving only took two circles and left.

According to the scheduled plan, after attending the Hong Kong sovereignty handover ceremony in the evening, Patten will accompany British Crown Prince Charles with his family and leave Hong Kong on the royal yacht Hmy Britannia.

The handover ceremony of the Hong Kong regime between the Chinese and British governments was held at midnight on June 30. At 23:42, the handover ceremony officially began.

After the Chinese and British guard of honor entered the court, the trumpeters of both sides blew the trumpets and the leaders entered the court.

After the guard of honor was held, Prince Charles spoke. He said that this important and special ceremony marked the return of Hong Kong to the People's Republic of China after more than 150 years of British rule. He paid tribute to those who turned the concept of one country, two systems into the Sino-British Joint Declaration, and paid tribute to those who worked hard to negotiate the details of the implementation of the Joint Declaration.

Charles said that Hong Kong represents vitality and stability to the world, which can become an obvious feature of a successful society. He said that Hong Kong will be returned to China from now on. Under the framework of one country, two systems, Hong Kong will continue to have its obvious features and continue to become an important international partner of many countries in the world. The Joint Statement makes a solemn commitment to the whole world to ensure that Hong Kong continues its lifestyle. For the UK, she will continue to unswervingly support the Joint Statement.

Then, the flag-raising ceremony of Chinese and British flag-bearers entered the venue, symbolizing the handover of the Hong Kong regimes between the two governments. All the Chinese and foreign guests who attended the ceremony stood up. The eyes of the audience were focused on the flagpoles erected on the east and west sides of the rostrum in front of the rostrum.

The British flag and Hong Kong flag slowly landed amid the national anthem music. With the falling of the rice flag, the British colonial rule of one and a half centuries in Hong Kong came to an end.

This zero point is only a few seconds away, and the whole audience is solemn.

At midnight on July 1st, accompanied by the national anthem, the Chinese national flag and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region flag slowly rose together.

The audience was boiling. Many people's eyes were filled with tears. Thunderous applause continued to last. The camera and the camera's lens kept flashing. Record this solemn historical moment.

The Chief Minister No. 1 then said that after Hong Kong's return, the central government will be responsible for managing diplomatic affairs and defense in Hong Kong. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region enjoys administrative management, legislative power, independent judicial power and final audit power in accordance with the Basic Law. Hong Kong residents enjoy various rights and freedoms in accordance with the law. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region will gradually develop a democratic system suitable for Hong Kong's actual situation.

Hong Kong will continue to maintain its free port status, continue to play the role of international finance, trade and shipping centers, and continue to develop economic and cultural relations with all countries, regions and relevant international organizations. The legitimate economic interests of all countries and regions in Hong Kong will be protected by law.

He expressed his belief that with the strong backing of the people of the whole country, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government and Hong Kong compatriots will be able to manage and build Hong Kong well, maintain Hong Kong's long-term prosperity and stability, and create a bright future for Hong Kong.

At 0:12 am, the Hong Kong regime handover ceremony ended.

The handover ceremony was attended by representatives from more than 40 countries and regions, heads of thirty international and regional organizations, representatives of consular institutions of more than ten countries in Hong Kong and representatives of civil organizations from some countries, and representatives of the Hong Kong offices of regional and international organizations.

People from all walks of life in Hong Kong, compatriots from Macau, Taiwan, and Chinese from more than 30 countries and regions also attended the handover ceremony.

More than 8,000 reporters from more than 700 news media from countries around the world reported this historic scene.

Fan Wubing also noticed that there was a small episode, which showed the British's reluctance and helplessness of leaving Hong Kong.

Twenty minutes before the handover ceremony began, the bands of both sides took turns to play four music to create an atmosphere for the venue. The first song played by China was "Lihua". Shortly after the soothing music sounded, the tension in the venue began to melt and the guests began to whisper. Music is a language without borders and played a wonderful role at this time.

At 23:59, the British band began to play "God Bless Queen" and lower the British flag. Under normal circumstances, the national anthem took more than fifty seconds, but when they played it, they felt something was wrong. Their rhythm was much faster than usual.

As a result, the British finished playing in just over thirty seconds.

A cold incident suddenly occurred at that time. China only made preparations for the British side to delay time and resolutely play on time. Unexpectedly, they would speed up their performance.

This is equivalent to leaving more than twenty seconds of blank time for the Chinese military band.

This is the

After more than twenty seconds, Shen Ying held his eyes tightly beside Fan Wubing and looked at the watch carefully, obviously he was a little worried about it.

However, the Chinese military band commander was not a vegetarian, and he ignored the gap left by the British. At 23:59:58 and a half seconds, he decisively raised his baton.

At 0:00:00:00, the baton started on time. The "March of Volunteers" resounded throughout Victoria Harbor, and the bright five-star red flag and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region flag were rising slowly.

After that, Shen Ying frowned and asked Fan Wubing, "What are the British doing? Is it interesting to do this?"

"I will certainly not be willing to leave the stage of history, which is also a sign of my own tendency." Fan Wubing replied, "But fortunately, our reaction is also very correct and we are not disturbed by them at all."

Although the British raised the rhythm and leaked out more than twenty seconds of gaps, they were the only ones who did this. They couldn't even grasp the rhythm well. No wonder they left. If China did not wait until the time to remember the national anthem in advance, there would be a problem. Foreigners would definitely yell in today's newspaper that the Chinese were impatient to wait for the recovery of Hong Kong and actually exercised sovereignty more than twenty seconds in advance. This is a public trampling on the Joint Statement and an infringement of the sovereignty of the United Kingdom.

Although it may not be a big deal, the lawsuit will definitely be entangled. At least at any time when the Hong Kong return ceremony is mentioned, they will put this matter on the table and ridicule it.

What made Fan Wu even more vigilant was that the information given to him by Qin Rushan and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority stated that the current hot money entering the Hong Kong market is increasing, which can be said to be adding fuel to the fire for the mushroom stock market, which is currently slow to bullish.

After attending the Hong Kong return ceremony, Shen Ying returned home alone, and Fan Wubing was invited to stay in Hong Kong for a while.

In his sixties, Soros not only borrowed money from Fan Wubing, he also raised huge funds and launched a fierce attack on the Thai Iron again. The major exchanges were in chaos, and the Thai baht fell sharply, and traders frantically sold the Thai baht. The Thai government used 30 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves and 15 billion US dollars in international loans to try to turn the tide. But this mere $45 billion US dollars in funds is like a drop in the bucket compared to the huge amount of international hot money, and it is useless.

On July 2, the second day after Hong Kong's return, the Thai government was unable to compete with Soros, so it had to announce that it had changed the currency-linked exchange rate system that had lasted for thirteen years and implemented a floating exchange rate system. After hearing this news, the Thai baht fell sharply.

Soros won the first battle, but he did not take it as a sacred person. He decided to sweep across Southeast Asia and make another effort. Hurricane Soros quickly swept into Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, Malaysia and other countries. The Indonesian rupiah, the Philippine peso, the Myanmar and Malaysian ringgit depreciated sharply, resulting in factory bankruptcy, bankruptcy, and rising prices. This Hurricane Soros, which swept Southeast Asia, wiped out a huge wealth of tens of billions of dollars in one fell swoop, turning the economic growth of these countries into ashes for decades.

The Asian financial crisis also quickly affected foreign exchange and securities markets in Latin America, Eastern Europe and other Asia. The foreign exchange and securities markets in countries and regions such as Brazil, Poland, Greece, Singapore, and Taiwan have also experienced turmoil. Currencies and securities values ​​have fallen one after another. The governments of these countries have had to use the treasury to support their own currency and securities markets. Many countries have reached the point of being afraid of "Soul". Soros' attack on the financial market has caused the debt and trade deficits in many developing countries to surge, which is extremely destructive. Countries have begun to strengthen financial supervision and always guard against Soros, which has also made Soros' actions no longer so easy.

After sweeping Southeast Asia, Soros finally switched to Hong Kong.

In mid-July, the Hong Kong dollar suffered a large number of speculative selling, and the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate was hit, falling all the way, falling to near the psychological threshold of the one dollar against the 7.75 Hong Kong dollar. The Hong Kong financial market was in chaos, and the doors of major banks were crowded with runs. The Hong Kong dollar pair was in crisis for the first time in many years.

Due to the urgent situation, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority not only sent a message to the central government for help, but also asked Fan Wubing for help, asking him to use the foreign exchange resources in his hands to help maintain the stability of the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate.

Because they are very clear that Fan Wubing has a lot of dollars in his hands, and his investment in Hong Kong stocks alone is as high as 10 billion yuan, not to mention the tens of billions of dollars that have just been withdrawn, plus some other funds, it is estimated that hundreds of billions of dollars can be used at any time.

At the request of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, there were also senior central officials who said that this matter was naturally inescapable, and Fan Wubing could not leave Hong Kong in a short period of time.
