Chapter 136 The Battle of Xiangjiang (6)
Starting from the first Wednesday of August, under three attacks from international financial speculators, the Hong Kong stock market fell for days. In the five trading days from August 3 to 7, the Hang Seng Index fell 917 points, and the stock market value lost 2,500 points.
billion Hong Kong dollars.
On the seventh day, the Hang Seng Index fell to the 7,000 point mark, closing at 7,018.41 points, down 235.95 points throughout the day, and a single-day drop of as much as 3.25%!
This is a new low since January 1995, and a year ago yesterday, the Hang Seng Index closed at a historical high of 16,820 points!
Despair began to permeate the entire Hong Kong stock market, and even local stock analysts generally held a pessimistic mood.
As for ordinary Hong Kong stockholders, they are in mourning all over the place. Countless people have lost their pensions and coffin capital, and their lives have hit rock bottom.
At this moment, a fund company called "Future Capital" came into view and openly declared war on international hot money in the newspaper.
Like a ray of light in the dark night, this move greatly boosted the morale of Hong Kong stockholders, and many people applauded it.
During this period, Zheng Zhiguang and Lu Yiming were making a lot of money. Every morning when they woke up, they found that their pockets were fuller than yesterday, which made them very happy.
After washing up, he hummed a tune and went to a tea restaurant outside the community to have morning tea.
At the next table, several strong men wearing big gold chains were talking loudly.
"Well said, we Xiangjiang people should unite. Soros and Screwtape will never come back!"
"Come on, international hot money is very strong."
"What do you mean by this? Isn't our Xiangjiang strong? Is it possible that we are really inferior to others? Look at that Future Capital, how awesome it is."
"Then just shout slogans."
"What do you know? Even Li Chaoren is optimistic about this Future Capital company."
"Let me tell you a little tidbit: the four major families have secretly discussed with the Hong Kong government and are preparing to rescue the market. As long as we unite together this time, we can definitely defeat the foreign enemies, and we can also make a fortune by then."
"real?"
"It's pure gold. How can I lie to you? Anyway, I already bought it."
"Then I'll buy some later."
"Then if it's released this time, I'll buy it!"
However, one person put forward a different view: "I won't say whether this rumor is accurate or not. Even if it is accurate, how do we know which stocks will rise? In my opinion, instead of investing your money in the stock market, it is better to buy it directly."
"Win in the Future' is a financial product that offers an annualized rate of return of 10% and guarantees principal and interest. Isn't it much better than buying blindly by yourself?"
"Is this reliable?"
"It is Future Capital that launches this financial product. Even Li Chaoren is optimistic about it. Do you think it is reliable?"
"What if they brag?"
"Probably not. After all, if it's fake, why doesn't Li Chaoren stand up and clarify? So, this is probably true. Besides, the newspaper also published a photo. Could it be that this photo is also fake?
?”
"It sounds so good, why don't you buy it?"
The man suddenly became proud: "Hey, I bought it a long time ago, okay? I heard that each person can only have a limit of 500,000 at most. I used my wife's ID card to buy 1 million together, and I will sit there next year.
Just wait until you receive the money.”
"Good guy, why didn't you tell me earlier? Are we still not friends?"
"Then what are you waiting for? I'll buy some too. By the way, how do I buy this financial product?"
Zheng Zhiguang, who was next to him, listened to the whole conversation of several people, and suddenly his eyes were strange and his expression was astonished.
He helped get Lu Yiming's invitation letter, so he knew exactly what was going on. Before that, Li Chaoren didn't even know whether Lu Yiming was a human or a ghost, and he was still optimistic about it...
At present, Future Capital is using the reputation of Li Chaoren to advertise without paying advertising fees. It is a typical free prostitute!
"After you've gathered the wool like this, I, Zheng Zhiguang, would like to call you the strongest... Wait, I helped get the invitation letter. If Li Chaoren pursues it in the future, wouldn't I be doomed?"
Thinking of this, Zheng Zhiguang suddenly felt a little numb and quickly called Lu Yiming.
"I, Zheng Zhiguang, am drinking morning tea..."
"Why don't you invite me? I won't tell you anymore, I'm all friends."
"Don't make trouble. Let me ask you something. Did you carefully plan the banquet?"
Lu Yiming retorted: "How can it be called planning? Coincidence, coincidence, do you understand?"
"What a coincidence, how could I not know about you? Is it because you spread the news that Li Chaoren is optimistic about Future Capital?"
"yes."
"Is it you who said that the battle to defend Xiangjiang's financial sector will be won?"
"Um."
Zheng Zhiguang secretly thought that he was awesome, and then asked with a grimace: "You know how you can create hatred by spreading rumors like this?"
Lu Yiming retorted confidently: "Why am I spreading rumors? Li Chaoren did say that night that he was optimistic about our future capital and Hong Kong's stock market. As for me cheering for the financial defense of Hong Kong, who dares to stand up and say that I am not?"
Zheng Zhiguang opened his mouth and didn't know what to say to refute Lu Yiming.
Sure enough, the most humble person is invincible.
With such a thick skin, it would be a pity not to use it to study body armor.
Zheng Zhiguang suddenly remembered that he seemed to be asking about the invitation, so he said: "Well, I..."
As a result, as soon as the conversation started, Lu Yiming on the other side of the phone suddenly said: "Ah, Lao Wei is here to report the results of the battle, I'll hang up first."
"Dududu..."
"Hello?"
Zheng Zhiguang listened to the busy tone on the phone and suddenly felt that the tiger skin and chicken feet, steamed pork ribs and cold jellyfish skin in front of him no longer smelled good.
And in the Future Capital headquarters, the chairman’s office.
Wei Liqun came in with a thick stack of information sheets and was reporting to Lu Yiming: "Our 'Win in the Future' financial product is very popular now. The total amount of the first phase of 330 million has been sold directly.
It’s over, but there is still an endless stream of people calling to inquire about the news.”
After being acquired by Lu Yiming and renamed, Future Capital has been developing rapidly and its reputation is so great that even Jiahua Capital was far behind when it was at its most glorious.
However, under this lavish and luxurious scene, Wei Liqun felt that there was an undercurrent of danger and danger.
The new boss is so capable of causing trouble, trying to steal Li Chaoren's money, and openly challenging international hot money. Is this really a human thing?
The whole of Asia is almost crawling at the feet of Soros and others. Even Xia Guo, one of the five permanent members, has to be on guard. How can capital compete with others in the future?
What made him even more distressed was that Lu Yiming also bought a large number of Hang Seng Index futures and bet against others.
Whether he lives or dies, we will know next month.
