The lunch break gave all Hong Kong people who were shrouded in despair a chance to take a breather.
At this time, people suddenly discovered that this storm did not happen for no reason.
Far across the ocean, in the United States, a similar situation is happening.
The entire Internet economic bubble was punctured globally.
It originated in the United States, followed by Europe and Asia, and swept the world. The stock markets of every country and region were affected.
All those who entered the stock market at high prices paid a heavy price for their reckless choices.
On the first trading day when the bubble burst, nearly $1 trillion in global stock market value evaporated.
When the reports came one after another and brought the latest news to the eyes of the Hong Kong people, everyone felt their scalp numb.
The trauma caused by the financial tsunami three years ago to Hong Kong City has not yet completely passed. Now the Internet economic bubble has burst, and countless people have lost their heads in an instant.
Against this background of unprecedented chaos, all kinds of monsters and monsters popped up.
On the economic channel, some so-called stock commentators are crazily advocating that all this is just a temporary adjustment and is not as scary as people think. Everyone should stick to the defense line and not create and spread panic...
But at this time, who can still listen to such words?
Seeing that the stock price is falling every second, and the stocks that have fallen to the limit are lining up one after another, everyone is worried that the money they invested has been wasted, and everyone is gloomy and bleak, thinking about how to get out.
.
No matter what the outside world thinks or thinks, after dinner, Li Jin returned to the combat living room with Huo Zhenzhou and Lin Ming.
"Uncle Huo, if the Hong Kong city's economy really faces irreparable losses, will the Hong Kong city's rich people come to the rescue?" Li Jin asked.
Huo Zhenzhou said without hesitation: "Yes, at least most of the rich in Hong Kong will. Just like the economic crisis three years ago, most of the rich in Hong Kong still joined forces to resist the invasion of Western capital."
"After all, the economy of the port city is everyone's home, and no eggs will be left behind when the nest is overturned. If the economy of the port city is destroyed, we so-called wealthy families will become rootless duckweeds. Which is more important, most people still care about it.
It’s relatively clear.”
Huo Zhenzhou's words made Li Jin thoughtful.
"Let's look at the situation." Li Jin sighed.
Although Huo Zhenzhou vowed, Li Jin always felt that things were not that simple this time.
If that mysterious force whose identity and background is still unknown is really targeting the Hong Kong city's economy, how could it not take into account the power of these wealthy people in Hong Kong city?
The biggest problem now is that the enemy is in darkness, and Li Jin has too little information.
However, Li Jin is not without advantages. His biggest advantage is the same as that of his opponent. His identity is also hidden. At least the opponent does not know his information now.
In the afternoon, the market opened on time.
As expected by Li Jin, after a short break at noon, the long funds gathered together, and their main battlefield began to focus on a few representative stocks.
Therefore, in the first few minutes of the opening, the two sides were still fighting back and forth.
This gave countless investors hope and rekindled confidence in the market.
But experts like Li Jin know that this is just a flashback before death.
Sure enough, in the tenth minute after the opening of the market, the short funds were almost endless, and the bulls finally couldn't support it anymore, and the defense line fell once again.
This time, it really took off.
The Hang Seng Index fell 500 points instantly.
Like a steady river, it instantly flows into a cliff waterfall and forms an avalanche. No one can stop the raging of short sellers.
"Collapse!"
Li Jin suddenly spoke. He stared at the spectacular green market, where almost all stocks were falling.
At this moment, Huo Zhenzhou's phone number was already buzzing with calls.
All of them were called by the top wealthy people in Hong Kong, including senior officials from the Hong Kong government.
The purpose is nothing more than one.
Facing the current extremely severe economic situation in Hong Kong City, the rich are in disarray and need to communicate and negotiate together.
As the wealthy people who control the economic lifeline of the port city, only they have the ability to stand up and turn the tide at this time.
Even Lin Ming received many similar calls.
Huo Zhenzhou and Lin Ming were both in pain and happiness.
On the one hand, the more serious the stock market falls, the more they make, but on the other hand, if it really continues to fall like this, their behavior at this time is like killing the goose that takes the egg.
Once the outside world knows about it, the Huo family's reputation will be almost destroyed.
"Ah Jin, not only are the rich people panicking, but even the Hong Kong government can hardly sit still. They now need to discuss countermeasures to save the market. What do you think?"
Huo Zhenzhou unknowingly regarded Li Jin as an equal to himself, instead of simply looking at him as a junior.
Otherwise, Huo Zhenzhou would not ask Li Jin for his opinion on such an important matter.
"Rescue." Li Jin's answer was very affirmative.
Even Lin Ming looked over.
"The Hong Kong city's economy is the fundamental market. It can fall, but it cannot be destroyed."
Li Jin took a look at the stock market, which was still falling. At this moment, there were a total of 1,300 listed stocks in the Hong Kong stock market, and the number of stocks that had fallen by the limit had exceeded 900.
If this pace continues, before the market closes in the afternoon, the daily limit of 1,000 shares will have become a foregone conclusion.
This is an unprecedented situation since the Hong Kong stock market opened.
In Li Jin's eyes, Hong Kong City is one of the biggest hotbeds for the explosive growth of his wealth in the future. How could he allow others to destroy this hotbed?
This is tantamount to destroying his job.
Therefore, both emotionally and rationally, Li Jin could not let this happen.
Huo Zhenzhou nodded and said, "Then I will go with Lin Ming to talk to them tomorrow."
“More than a thousand stocks have dropped to the limit!”
Zhang Zixing's voice suddenly came over.
Li Jin and the others looked up, and the famous scene that was still talked about by countless people in later generations finally appeared.
On the lower limit version, the number of stocks: 1001!
This is like a signal. The Hang Seng Index completely lost all defense and fell by more than a thousand points in a row!
At this moment, when you open the Hong Kong stock market, almost all the stocks you can see are gathered on the lower limit board, and they are all bleak green.
"Report the income." Li Jin said.
"The Hang Seng Index closed at 8,700 points, the total account balance was 45 billion, and the book profit was a full 30 billion!"
15 billion principal, 30 billion profit.
Although everyone was prepared in their hearts, they still couldn't help but feel frightened when they heard Zhang Zixing report this number.
Huo Zhenzhou's face was full of shock. Even he, a business tycoon, could not suppress the trembling in his heart at this moment.
"Is this... the capital market? Making 30 billion profits in one day!?"
