The black Mercedes-Benz drove out of the gate of Clear Water Bay Golf Course. Outside the car window was Tseung Kwan O, which was undergoing extensive construction work. There were many buildings and cranes everywhere. Lin Chaoyang sat in the back seat with a calm expression. Although his eyes were looking out the window, there was something in his mind.

Thinking back to the conditions reached with Luo Bin.

The films of Lam Pictures are still unable to be screened in Bay Island, but the Liberty Federation will no longer interfere with the normal operations of Lam Pictures. Externally, in order to ease the wave of public opinion, the Liberty Federation shook hands with Xu Guanwen and made peace with the public.

An explanation.

However, the fact that actors who collaborate with Lin are banned will not change, but it is not indefinite. The ban will be automatically lifted in two years. This can be regarded as maintaining the face of the Liberty Federation in the film industry, and it also provides an explanation to the above.

.

It seems that Lin's negotiation this time will not be beneficial.

But in fact, solving the interference of the Liberty Association is already a very important achievement.

The most important thing is that Lin Chaoyang and Luo Bin have reached a tacit understanding that Liberty will turn a blind eye to Lin's future delivery of his own films to the WD market through gloves.

This matter should be said to be the biggest benefit of Lin Chaoyang's negotiation.

Lin Chaoyang sighed helplessly in his heart. If he hadn't found a few "good big brothers" this time, and if Liberty General made a mistake, things wouldn't have gone so smoothly. After this incident, Lin finally

Temporarily freed from the constraints of the Liberty Association, we can go into battle lightly.

It’s not easy to work outside without the support of parents! Sooner or later, he will have to settle the debt with the Liberty Association.

The day after Lin Chaoyang and Luo Bin met, Xu Guanwen was interviewed by reporters and said that he had met with relevant personnel of the Liberty Federation and reached an understanding. Two days ago, reporters photographed him entering and exiting ZX Luo Bin of the Liberty Federation.

Luxury houses and the media have long expected this situation.

Since there is private communication, there will definitely be reconciliation.

After all, Xu Guanwen was just an actor, and it was impossible for him to fight a behemoth like the Liberty Association to the end. As soon as the news came out, the people who were originally filled with indignation felt sorry for him.

Is this all?

They originally regarded Xu Guanwen as a hero who was not afraid of power, but only two days later they reconciled with the Liberty Federation?

Some angry people were immediately ready to vent their anger on Xu Guanwen, scolding him as a villain who was trying to gain fame and reputation. At this time, several media outlets such as Ta Kung Pao and Ming Pao came forward to speak out.

.

It is commendable that Xu Guanwen speaks on behalf of Hong Kong Film, but his personal power is limited after all.

The root cause of this incident lies in the fact that the Hong Kong film industry is fragmented and fragmented, without any sense of the overall situation, and is left to anyone's discretion.

One newspaper said it was nothing, and several newspapers said the same thing. Soon the public's focus was diverted from Xu Guanwen to Golden Harvest, New Art City and other leading Hong Kong film companies that had close ties with WD.

Faced with the rapid turn of public opinion and the fact that Jiahe was shot, Xinyi City felt that he had been wronged.

But the people don't care about this. They just need an outlet to vent. Now that they have an outlet, venting is over.

A public opinion storm caused by the blockade lasted for nearly half a month, which is extremely rare in a fast-paced city like Xiangjiang.

However, no matter how popular the news is, it will always be outdated, not because it itself is outdated, but because there is more popular news in the media. On October 16, the US Dow Jones Index fell sharply by 108 points.

On Monday, the 19th, the Hong Kong stock market opened. Affected by the rapid decline of the Dow Jones Index, the Hang Seng Index plummeted 402.81 points, from the closing price of 3783.20 points last weekend to 3362.39 points.

The decline is so severe that it is very rare.

At first, not many people cared about this situation. The current world situation is stable, there are no major economic disasters in various countries, and Hong Kong's economy is also thriving.

Xiangjiang's local GDP has grown rapidly at an annual growth rate of over 15% in the past two years. The stock market has been rising for more than a year, and there has not been any fever or bubble like the 1973 stock market crash.

However, the Hang Seng Index unexpectedly fell for three days in a row. On October 21, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange suddenly announced a four-day suspension of trading. The original intention of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was to use the suspension to relieve investors' worries.

Panic mentality, stop the violent leakage of Hang Seng Index

But what the Stock Exchange didn't expect was that the four-day suspension of trading not only failed to calm people's minds, but actually aggravated market panic. When the Stock Exchange resumed trading on October 26, sell orders that had been accumulated for several days swarmed into the market, forming a

Herding effect.

Investors and investment institutions trampled on each other, and the Hang Seng Index plummeted 1,120.70 points in one day, a daily drop of 33.33%, setting the largest tragedy in the history of the Hang Seng Index. The stock market in Xiangjiang was highly linked to the industry, and the Hang Seng Index caused an unprecedented tragedy.

The society was suddenly filled with grief

For a week in a row, the front page headlines of almost all media outlets were devoted to the Hong Kong stock market. "What a tragedy! What a tragedy! What a tragedy! My 500,000!"

On the Jiahe studio, after filming, Maggie Cheung had just finished making a phone call while hugging her eldest brother. She looked miserable and almost cried. "What's all the fuss about?"

Wan Ziliang, with his slicked back hair, had just finished his scene with Andy Lau. Seeing Maggie Cheung's expression of despair, he asked nonchalantly: The stock price of the stock I bought has fallen again, and now I don't even have 200,000 of my 500,000.

Maggie Cheung said with a bitter look on her face.

Wan Ziliang smoked a cigarette and said, "What do I think it's about? It's only 500,000. I'll pay more than 800,000 for 2 million. It doesn't matter. It's just a drama for you." "Brother Wan Zi, don't be kidding. This is all I have."

Some have reached 500,000."

"Hey, pretty girl, are you serious? You film a movie for hundreds of thousands, and you told me you only have 500,000?" "No way, the expenses are too high, I can't save any money."

"You still have so little money left to trade in stocks?" "How can you make money without trading in stocks?"

Wan Ziliang was impressed by Maggie Cheung's powerful logic and couldn't argue for a moment. "Then have you sold your stocks?"

"No, the stockbroker was trying to persuade me just now."

"What are you waiting for if you don't want to sell? Let's cut the meat and run. This stock market crash, how many stocks have fallen into penny stocks!"

"Xian" in penny stocks is the transliteration of the English "cent", which refers to stocks whose price has been lower than 1 yuan, so it can only be priced in cents. "But someone told me that Cathay Pacific can make money if it holds it." Maggie Cheung hesitated.

Let's talk.

"Silly girl, could that person have expected that there would be a stock market crash? Just be careful and you won't even lose 200,000 yuan in a few days!" Wan Ziliang's advice made Maggie Cheung hesitate. After thinking about it, she still didn't make a decision. "Maggie, come and follow me.

Acting opposite Andy Lau."

Not far away, the tall, thin director in sunglasses was calling Maggie Cheung.

"Here we come!" Maggie Cheung responded, having no time to think about stocks anymore.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the crew finally finished work, and Maggie Cheung drove to Jiahui Garden in the middle of the mountain. "It's so late, why did you come here?"

Tao Yumo asked a little surprised when he saw Maggie Cheung.

Maggie Cheung whispered a few words to her, and Tao Yumo led her to Lin Chaoyang with a strange expression. "Brother-in-law, have you bought any stocks recently?"

If you don’t buy it, why should you buy it when the Hang Seng Index has dropped like this?”

"The Hang Seng Index has plummeted, and Maggie's stock has fallen sharply in the past few days."

Lin Chaoyang handed the toy ball in his hand to Dongdong, turned to look at Maggie Cheung, "What? You want to sell stocks?"

Maggie Cheung said with a frown on her face: "Brother-in-law, you said you can make money by buying Cathay City...

"Wrong, don't talk nonsense! I'm talking about long-term holding."

"But now there is a stock market crash. Cathay City's stock price has fallen by more than half. Even if it can rise back in the future, when will it be?" Maggie Cheung's tone was a little anxious. She thought she could make money this time, but it happened again in the stock market crash.

.

Lin Chaoyang's expression was calm and calm, "In the stock market, isn't it normal to have ups and downs? If you can't bear it, you can cut off your flesh now." Maggie Cheung said anxiously: "Then I have to pay hundreds of thousands more!

"

Lin Chaoyang really wanted to say that the compensation was more than one million anyway, not less than these hundreds of thousands, but when he thought about it, it felt a bit cruel.

Still comforted: "It doesn't matter, you are not the only one who is falling now, and the stock price will slowly come back in the future. If you really feel impatient, you can cut off the meat first, and then use the money to buy the bottom."

Maggie Cheung thought it was a pretty good idea, but then she thought about it, what if she copied the bottom halfway up the mountain? Or what if she copied an even worse stock?

She expressed her doubts, and Lin Chaoyang said with a smile: "So, holding it is the safest way. Behind the national city is the Century City, which has good development potential. After the stock market crash, everyone fell. Wait until this wave passes.

Well, high-quality companies must be the first to make efforts.”

Maggie Cheung thought about it and felt that what Lin Chaoyang said made sense, and it would be safer to continue to hold Cathay City's stocks. After this counseling, she felt a lot more at ease.

Lin Chaoyang teased her, "It's only 500,000, which is not much for you. Why don't you come back after taking on a movie?" Maggie Cheung firmly shook her head, "Brother-in-law, you don't understand. Taking on a movie is a part-time job, and stocks are investments.

"Lin Chaoyang looked at her funny, "I didn't expect you to have the heart to be a financial giant."

"I don't want to be a financial giant, I just want to make enough money to retire as soon as possible."

Her words seemed to trigger some kind of restraint, and Tao Yushu suddenly appeared, "Maggie, you are only in your twenties, which is the age when you are working hard for your career..."

Maggie Cheung finally got rid of Tao Yushu's "Tang Monk Chanting Sutra", but she still had lingering fears. From now on, she would never dare to talk about lying down and retiring in front of Sister Yu. Then she approached Lin Chaoyang again and asked curiously: "Brother-in-law"

, why haven’t you bought stocks recently!”

"Nonsense, the stock market crash!"

"I mean before, before the stock market crash."

Maggie Cheung is very curious now. Lin Chaoyang is obviously a writer, and he has only been in Hong Kong for two years. Why does he have such a thorough understanding of the Hong Kong stock market? Of course, Lin Chaoyang cannot say that he is cheating. "I didn't think about what to buy, so I just went to pick one."

Feng, stock trading is also about experiencing life."

He forgot about Maggie Cheung, "By the way, you seem to be trading in stocks just to write a novel." "You are so lucky!" She couldn't help but muttered again.

She originally only envied Lin Chaoyang for catching the monster stock of Cathay City, but now she is even more jealous that he escaped unscathed from the stock market crash.

She was involved in the film industry and was somewhat superstitious. She felt that Lin Chaoyang might be the kind of person that masters say has good luck. Otherwise, why would he escape because he could make a lot of money by writing novels and trading stocks?

"Brother-in-law, why don't you lead me in stock trading from now on!" Maggie Cheung said with a greedy look on her face. "Whatever you buy will go down. We all have no grievances, so don't hurt me!"

Maggie Cheung's eyes suddenly widened, and her face was full of sorrow and anger, "How can you hurt others with your words? I'm just unlucky!" Lin Chaoyang said: "It's OK to lie to others, but don't lie to yourself. Everyone is trading in stocks, but you are the only one.
