Z Fund, known in full as the Z Hedging Foundation.
This foundation had originally been a financial company based on Wall Street in America.
Its main trading targets were stock indices such as the FTSE in the Foreigners' home base, America's Dow Jones, and Hans's DAX.
Because Z Fund offered investors a high rate of return, it had made quite a name for itself on Wall Street.
However, starting at the end of last year, Z Fund had suddenly adjusted its strategic objectives, preparing to put down roots in Hong Kong Island's financial sector.
According to information disclosed by the Hong Kong Government's Finance Department, the government's fifteen-billion-dollar Welfare Fund for public assistance would be invested in Z Fund after it went public.
On top of that, subscriptions from various sectors of Hong Kong society and its citizens were projected to amount to another astronomical sum exceeding ten billion Hong Kong dollars.
If there were problems with Z Fund, the eventual impact absolutely could not be taken lightly.
Even more frightening was the possibility of a collapse after the government's fifteen-billion-dollar Welfare Fund and the projected ten billion in subscriptions from various sectors of society had been invested in Z Fund.
The consequences would inevitably unleash a towering wave capable of affecting all of Hong Kong Island. It could even be said that it would blow a hole right through the sky.
At that moment, every senior officer of the National Security Department in the office took on a solemn, grave expression.
They were all Sir Kwan's trusted lieutenants, and naturally understood their boss's temperament very well.
Their boss would certainly not have suddenly brought up Z Fund without reason.
Just what had Chairman Guan reported that involved Z Fund, which was due to go public in half a month?
