Chapter 6 Deciding to invest in Hong Kong

Time passed, and in a blink of an eye, it came to the middle of May of '67.

It was a day off, London, sunny, and rare good weather. In the morning, Andrew went to the park court to practice football for an hour, and then went home sweating profusely to take a shower.

After tidying up, I went to the living room. Pick up a stack of today's newspapers and browse through news stories from around the world.

A London Morning Post news story about the Hong Kong workers' riots caught Andrew's attention, starting with a labor dispute and then escalating to a widespread upheaval and serious clashes between the police and the people.

Seeing this report, Andrew knew from his memories in his previous life that this was the beginning of the 67 Labor Wave riots in Hong Kong, and the riots would continue until the end of the year.

The labor riots in Hong Kong also caused losses to the Hong Kong economy, with the first wave of immigration and a sharp decline in property prices in the Hong Kong stock market.

After the labor riots are resolved, the British government in Hong Kong will improve its policy strategy, Hong Kong's economy will recover quickly, and the stock market and property prices will rebound strongly.

This is a good investment opportunity, so be prepared early.

The idea of investing in the Hong Kong stock market and property market, Andrew dared to invest boldly because of the memory of his past life and knowing the follow-up. But this reason cannot be explained.

Convincing his father, Allen, to allow the family to invest in Hong Kong requires sufficient justification and support. Previously, Andrew also tried to understand his father Allen's attitude towards overseas investment, and as the heir of the Smith family, his father Allen said that the family industry is based on stability and continuity, and overseas investment should fully consider risk assessment, and family funds will not be easily involved.

Investing in the Hong Kong stock market and property market, in the current situation in Hong Kong, investment is very risky, since the family will not easily get involved in it, so it can only be Andrew's personal investment behavior.

As a qualified overseas investor, it is a prerequisite to understand the basic knowledge of financial investment theory. Although the specific investment operation is done by a professional broker. However, as an investor who decides on the investment direction strategy, it is a joke if you don't understand the basic financial investment theory and don't know anything.

Therefore, if Andrew wants to master the investment project team in the future, he still needs to learn basic financial investment theory knowledge and understand the operation process.

The best time to invest in Hong Kong is still two years away, and Andrew decided to spend more time learning about financial investment theory from now on.

And the best time to invest in Hong Kong is almost the time of Andrew's coming-of-age ceremony. At that time, you will be able to arrange your own personal funds independently.

Andrew's personal funds, in addition to last year's football lottery revenue, are the royalty income of "Football Junior".

Since its release, "Soccer Boys" has been reprinted three times, with a second printing of 30,000 copies in December last year and a third printing of 60,000 copies in March this year. A total of 120,000 copies were printed and contributed £26,000 to Andrew's remuneration.

With the passage of time, the sales of the book "Football Boy" gradually increased, and the audience gradually expanded. Among the books for teenagers, they have been affirmed for their liking, and word-of-mouth popularity has grown rapidly among teenagers.

In the book "Football Boys", the topic of dazzling ball skills and movements has gradually become popular among teenagers, and some teenagers who kick football have begun to put it into practice, practicing and imitating the dazzling ball skills in the book.

After learning about this information from the market feedback, the publisher is already making plans for further promotion. The comic book is the first choice for publishers to further promote their plans.

The incident of the book "Football Boy" did not affect Andrew's peaceful study life, but in his spare time, Andrew learned more about financial investment theory.

Summer is coming, the school's summer vacation is approaching, and the student party is happily planning to live a happy life during the summer vacation.

During this summer, Andrew plans to focus on learning financial investment theories, and also go to the London Stock Exchange to learn about securities trading in this era.

After the student party survived the last lesson of the semester, the students' summer vacation began.

In order to better learn and understand financial investment knowledge during this summer vacation, Andrew also temporarily hired a trainee stockbroker Mr. Bill through his father Allen's connections to teach Andrew two days a week and answer some specific financial investment matters.

After graduating from the University of London Business School last year, Mr. Beale embarked on a career as a stockbroker and is still in the internship period. Although Mr. Bill is a novice stockbroker, he has more than enough knowledge of financial investment to teach rookie Andrew.

With such a plan, Andrew's summer vacation unfolded calmly, combining tension and leisure, and lived a fulfilling life.

Due to the opening of the students' summer vacation, the sales of the book "Football Boys" ushered in a new climax. The publishing house received orders from many bookstores to expedite the demand, so the publishing house decided to print it for the fourth time, with a quantity of 100,000 copies.

The plan for further promotion has been implemented. The book comic book project was launched, for which the publisher and Andrew negotiated the English comic royalty, and finally signed a contract, and 3% of the English comic royalty went to Andrew.

The dazzling ball skills in the book "Football Teenagers" have attracted more and more football teenagers to learn and imitate.

Indeed, the dazzling ball skills in the book come from Andrew's memories of his previous life, and these classic ball skills are the essence of football for generations of football masters in later generations.

Once a football teenager learns to imitate a successful ball move, he will show it in front of his friends, and the dazzling and chic ball skills will usher in bursts of surprise and cheers from his friends. Those astonished and envious gazes make the hearts of teenagers who imitate successful people proud and satisfied.

The power of example is endless, and it is found right in front of you. The infinite longing of the football teenagers has brought infinite motivation and has invested in it. This situation continues to happen in various parts of the UK, causing heated discussions among the surrounding people. At the same time, it also boosted the reputation and sales of the book "Football Juniors".

In such a hot situation in various places, on August 6th, the sales data of "Football Boys" in July was newly released, oh my God! 31,200 copies, there is indeed no statistical error, it is 31,200 copies, that's right.

The popularity of the book "Football Boy" has also attracted the attention of news reporters, and gradually some newspapers have begun to report on topics related to the book "Football Boy".

The publishing house also paid attention to the news report in the newspaper and contacted Alan and Andrew to communicate about the news report.

Andrew didn't want to be bothered, so he declined the request to appear for an interview. But it also gave the publishing house an idea, dazzling and chic ball skills are now a hot spot, and visual ball skills and eyeball effects can arouse everyone's interest and enthusiasm even more.

Therefore, the publishing house can cooperate with the TV station and invite several football stars and football teenagers to do a parody show together. In the preview of the show, make some celebrity learning and practice tidbits to attract the audience's interest. This kind of promotion should be good.

Andrew's novel idea was highly recognized by the news and public relations department of the publishing house, and he said that he would immediately contact the TV station to cooperate in planning this parody show. But he didn't pull Andrew down, and asked Andrew to be on the scene to provide guidance on ball skills when he was training to imitate ball skills.

Andrew readily agreed to this request. Because Andrew doesn't understand everything else, it will be helpless to make those classic ball moves more than that. Get involved yourself, provide the right idea of the action, and the imitation effect should be the best.

After dealing with the publishing house, Andrew returned to his previous summer vacation study. This August, Andrew and Mr. Bill will go to the London Stock Exchange to learn some about the securities trading of this era.

The cooperation between the publishing house and the TV station to plan the parody show went well. A week later, Andrew received a call from the publisher that the imitation training would start the day after tomorrow, and after three days of familiarization training, the shooting would be arranged. The filming of the ball action parody show is scheduled to be broadcast on television in late August.

On the third day, Andrew came to the football training ground arranged by the publishing house as scheduled, and after meeting with the reception staff. The director in charge of this football training introduced Andrew to the three invited football stars, the main members of the World Cup winners: Bobby Moore, Bobby Charlton and Jack Charlton.

It seems that the publishing house takes this parody show very seriously! It has even invited three of the most well-known football stars in the UK to participate in this parody show.

As a fan, Andrew is very happy and honored to get to know these three football seniors up close. Besides, these three have a lot of connections and influence in British football in the future, and they may be turned to in the future.

So, when communicating with the three football stars, Andrew was very humble and enthusiastic.

And the three football stars are also interested in getting to know Andrew, a teenager writer who writes football novels.

Several people who are interested in each other are very enthusiastic and the atmosphere is very harmonious. The person in charge of reception at the publishing house would love to see such a scene. This is a sign that things will go smoothly in the next training session. Then he will be in a lot less trouble.
