Chapter Seventy-Three: Pandey's Ambition
"Mr. Xu, what a coincidence, you are also here. As soon as Xu Ziming got out of the car, he met Pandey, who he hadn't seen for a long time.
Since Pan Disheng and Xu Ziming opened a high-end watch business in Hong Kong, Disheng Watch Company has indeed become popular, and Xu Ziming has also made a fortune thanks to Pan Disheng's luck, but the thirty percent share dividend is much less than Pan Disheng's earnings.
Recently, Pan Disheng intends to contact the Japanese luxury brand industry, intending to open up the Japanese market, Xu Ziming knows, Pan Disheng did not succeed, why, because there is an issue in the Hong Kong newspaper reported the content.
At this time, Pan Disheng still had a beautiful woman by his side, Xu Ziming had never seen it, after all, when he usually talked about business, Pan Disheng has always been alone.
Pan Disheng saw the surprise in Xu Ziming's eyes, and guessed something, "Mr. Xu, this is my insider, Yang Minyu." ”
"It turned out to be Mrs. Pan" Xu Ziming politely stretched out his hand to greet him, he really hadn't seen this lady before.
Yang Minyu was not restrained at all, and said with a smile: "I heard my husband mention Mr. Xu, but I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be really young and promising." "The matter of Hong Kong films is more concerned about her, a woman who is career-oriented.
Hui Ziming's "Best Partner" set a box office record of 20 million in Hong Kong, and everyone in the Hong Kong film industry knows it.
Liu Lanxi also cautiously started to get out of the car, Xu Ziming heard the sound of the car door, and only then did he notice that there was a beautiful woman in the car.
Mr. and Mrs. Pan Disheng were also attracted by the sound of the sudden visit, and the two of them saw a very beautiful woman getting out of the car.
Yang Minyu, who is also a woman, was a little ashamed when she saw Liu Lanxi's face, and she estimated that this was Xu Ziming's girlfriend.
"Mr. Xu, this is your ......" When he saw Liu Lanxi walking into Xu Ziming's side, Yang Minyi just wanted to open his mouth to boast about Xu Ziming's girlfriend's beauty, but was interrupted by Pan Disheng's coughing voice.
"Hmph...... Mr. Xu, this friend of yours is very beautiful. Pan Disheng interrupted Yang Minyan's words by pretending to cough, afraid that she would not understand the situation.
Pan Disheng still knows Xu Ziming well, and he has worked with him in the promotion of watch advertisements before, Miao Qianren and Guan Zhilin are his girlfriends, but in front of him, as a man, his vision is not bad, and he is sure that it is definitely not.
Liu Lanxi looked shy, didn't understand the situation very well, and after Xu Ziming's explanation, he knew who the other two were, and the embarrassment in his heart was suddenly gone.
"Miss Liu is so familiar, is it the heroine in "Chasing the Girl"?" Yang Minyu watched the morning release of "Chasing the Girl" with Pan Disheng today, the protagonist is Xu Ziming, which Pan Disheng told her.
"Yes, Miss Yang. Maybe I'm worse than in the movie. Miss Yang looks very temperamental, and Mr. Pan is really a natural pair. "Liu Lanxi is more modest, today she came out in disguise, just to avoid being seen, and she also thinks that this is more mediocre.
Yang Minyu was very happy that others could boast about themselves like this.
"How come, Miss Liu's sudden appearance just now, I was also taken aback in my heart, to be honest, as a woman, it is the first time I have seen such a beautiful person without makeup, and I am still a little jealous in my heart. ”
Pan Disheng saw that the two beauties were chatting happily, and also found a place to talk with Xu Ziming in detail, Pan Disheng lit a cigarette and said: "I haven't been in Hong Kong in the past few months, and I don't know that Hong Kong has undergone so many changes." ”
It's not that Pan Disheng is too sentimental, in the past few months when he went to Japan to develop the watch business, Xu Ziming has become a screenwriter of 20 million directors, and at the same time, the news of Li's TV station changing hands is a bit boiling, which makes him, who is also interested in the entertainment industry, have to be said to be surprised.
That is, this year, Qiu Degen sold all his holdings of about 10% of the shares of TVB to cash out, and instead bought 50% of the shares of Li TV from the Australian consortium.
"Now that real estate stocks are booming and Hong Kong's housing prices are about to hit a new high, what I hear most every day is not the sound of Hong Kong movies, but the topic of the stock market that they talk about all day long. Mr. Hui should also have the idea of liking the stock market," said Pan Disheng, who has a better understanding of the current situation in Hong Kong, and wants to ask.
Xu Ziming was puzzled: "How did Mr. Pan become interested in real estate, and it is good that the watch industry is not developing." ”
Pan Disheng shook his head and smiled bitterly: "People have goals, I want to become bigger and stronger in the luxury brand industry, but the Hong Kong real estate stocks in front of me are thriving, no matter who you are, your Xu family is a real estate business, and in recent years, it has also made a lot of money." Recently, Lai Sun Group, whose market value has been growing, has also squeezed into the forefront of Hong Kong's wealthy families by relying on real estate. ”
Xu Ziming said: "Mr. Pan wants to cooperate with me, to be honest, I am really not optimistic about the stock market this year." Xu Ziming touched it, and hurriedly shook his head.
Pan Desheng snuffed out the cigarette, threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray, and asked strangely: "Everyone else is crazy about investing in real estate, and many shareholders of New Arts City also have intentions in this regard, and even the famous charter boat king in Hong Kong has bought some land in Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, and is ready to build new real estate." Mr. Xu was indifferent, which really made me unable to see through. I also know Mr. Xu's ability to Wharf, and Mr. Xu should have a reason for doing so. ”
Hong Kong's prosperity is based on four pillars: manufacturing (industry), construction (real estate), finance (banking and stock market), and tourism.
In addition to the real estate property, which has the greatest impact on the local area, the other three Optimus Prime are all connected to the world, and they have earned Hong Kong an international reputation as a "center" and "center": an international trade center, an international financial center, and an international tourism center. Although the center of trade is not only based on manufacturing, but also on re-exports, and tourism may not yet be at the level of a center, but finance is on a par with New York and London, and it is indeed one of the three major centers in the world.
Pan Disheng guessed well, Xu Ziming in his previous life on real estate, the stock market has been involved, although the level is only half a bucket of water, but Xu Ziming clearly understands the general trend of Hong Kong's real estate stocks in the eighties and nineties, take eighty-two years as an example, Hong Kong's real estate stock prices will generally decline, although the British London index and the United States Dow Jones index have not changed significantly, but the Hang Seng index is indeed falling more sharply.
The most impressive is the stock market crash of 87 years, the Hong Kong stock market crash in October 1987, compared with the previous stock market crash, the Hong Kong stock market crash came unexpectedly, on Monday, October 19, at 10 o'clock the stock exchange just opened, a strong selling wave appeared, all the blue chips have opened several prices lower, many shares are listed only sellers, no buyers.
Fifteen minutes after the open, the Hang Seng Index had fallen 120 points, then the market stabilized, and at 12 o'clock, the index fell another about 140 points to 3524.64. At 2:30 p.m., the stock market opened, and the selling orders appeared like a sea of selling, and in just one hour in the afternoon, the Hang Seng Index fell another 185 points, and many stocks and even blue chips were only sellers, and buyers were empty.
In order to stabilize the market, before the market opened the next day, the Stock Exchange finally made a decision to announce a four-day market closure.
On October 26, 1987, the opening time of the day was 1 hour later than usual, and the official opening time was 11 o'clock, and the Hong Kong market reopened, but there were still only sellers and no buyers. Fifteen minutes later, the Hang Seng Index had fallen 650 points, and the Hang Seng Index was still down 845.04 at the end of the morning. In the afternoon, the market was full of wind and pessimistic investment sentiment, and the market fell by 1120.70 to close at 2241.69, a total decline of 33%, setting a record for the world's largest one-day decline.
"Mr. Pan, although the real estate industry seems to be very hot now, and it is a business that everyone can get involved in and make a lot of money, but there are many bankrupts in the sudden change of the stock market every year. "Xu Ziming definitely can't say that he has the ability to predict the future.
Pan Disheng knew that Xu Ziming would not get involved, and he also felt that it was not appropriate to talk about this topic, and there was one more thing, about luxury brands, he invited Xu Ziming to cooperate with luxury goods, so Xu Ziming was also a shareholder of Disheng Company.
"Mr. Xu, Lai Sun Garment of Lai Sun Group is interested in cooperating with Disheng Company, and Mr. Xu is also a shareholder of the company. The so-called consultation in Pandey's mouth is just modest, he is in an absolute controlling position, even if Xu Ziming has the idea to refuse, he can't help him, at most it hurts the harmony.
Xu Ziming's heart was a little surprised, Pan Disheng's appetite was a little bigger than when he first met, and his impression of Pan Disheng was only the memory of his previous life, this clock king, who had cooperated with Hong Jinbao in the later period, opened a company called Debao Pictures. First real estate, and now it is a cooperation with Lai Sun Group, but Lai Sun Group, Xu Ziming has been very familiar with it recently.
Pandey only briefly introduced the topic, and specific matters will still be discussed in a formal meeting.
......
"Miss Liu, you and Miss Yang had a very speculative conversation. After Pan Disheng and his wife left, Xu Ziming asked curiously, originally came to the Peninsula Hotel, Liu Lanxi had something to say to himself, but because of the conversation with Pan Disheng, the original purpose of the two was lost.
Liu Lanxi didn't have any loss, on the contrary, she looked happy: "We chatted very happily, I feel that Miss Yang is a very elegant person, and I have benefited a lot from talking with her." ”
Xu Ziming said with a smile: "Why don't you remember the conversation that you said." Liu Lanxi's quirky movements made Xu Ziming interesting.
Only then did Liu Lanxi realize it, exhaled in his mouth, and said tremblingly: "There will be more opportunities in the future, so don't be in a hurry." ”
Xu Ziming doesn't care, this beauty behaves really weirdly, and sometimes she is really fooled by her.
Xu Ziming covered his head, thinking of Liu Lanxi's ordination soon after, Liu Lanxi said that she did not receive any emotional setbacks, she saw through Hongchen, Liu Lanxi bid farewell to 31 years of Hongchen life, and officially became a monk.
On the day of shaving, her parents stood aside reluctantly, crying, making Liu Lanxi, who was devoted to the Buddha, very uneasy! Liu Lanxi knelt firmly on the ground, her eyes looking straight ahead, and she told herself: "Don't cry! Don't cry!" Tears kept rolling in her eyes, and they never fell.
