162 [Four Families]
...
In the school teacher's office.
The fan overhead was creaking and turning, and the hot wind was rolling, blowing the few teachers who were working in the room, sweating, but the heat could not stop their work.
When a drop of sweat dripped on the manuscript paper and rendered the piece of ink, Huo Yaowen put down the pen in his hand, wiped the sweat stains on his forehead, and looked up at the scenery outside the window, the trees were verdant, and the green leaves reflected the scorching summer heat.
Teacher Zhang, who was sitting opposite, couldn't help but ask when he saw Huo Yaowen like this, "Teacher Huo, do you want to drink a cup of herbal tea?"
"Herbal tea? That's sorry for you, Mr. Zhang. ”
Teacher Zhang smiled: "Come and pour it yourself, it's already cold in the thermos, my wife left it overnight yesterday, and now it's just right to drink." ”
Huo Yaowen was not hypocritical, picked up a teacup of his own, walked to the side of Teacher Zhang, picked up the thermos he brought, poured a large cup, and drank a clean and bitter herbal tea without caring about anything else, diluting a little heat in his heart.
I have to say that good medicine is bitter, and herbal tea is also bitter!
Although the taste is not as good as Wang Laoji, Jia Duobao, and Qi Zhenglai, this is an authentic Guangdong herbal tea, bitter is a little bitter, but it also quenches the heat.
After drinking a large glass, Huo Yaowen felt a lot more comfortable.
Today's Hong Kong is too hot, at the end of September, autumn is about to begin, this autumn tiger power has just been exerted, in the next month or two, I am afraid that the temperature will rise.
Huo Yaowen picked up a fan on Teacher Zhang's desk, fanned himself and said, "This fan is getting hotter and hotter the more it blows, I think it might as well be turned off." ”
Teacher Zhang laughed: "Haha, the fan is getting hotter and hotter the more it blows, but if you don't blow it, you will be hotter, and the sweat just now will drip onto the student's notebook." ”
Teacher Li, who was sitting diagonally opposite to teach history, heard the conversation here and interjected: "If you want me to say, you should apply to the school to install an air conditioner, how can people work on this hot day." ”
Teacher Fang, who has been teaching at the University of Hong Kong for 20 years, pouted: "It's still air-conditioning! It's good to have a fan to blow. ”
Huo Yaowen said with a smile: "Don't think about pretending to be air-conditioned for the time being. ”
After speaking, when Huo Yaowen was about to return to his seat, he suddenly glanced at a newspaper on the desk of Mr. Zhang, picked it up and said, "Mr. Zhang, lend me the newspaper to read." ”
"Take it. Math teacher Zhang said casually.
Huo Yaowen took the newspaper back to his place and sat down, spread out the newspaper, and the first thing that caught his eye was: "Hong Kong's first Chinese exchange, the Far Eastern Securities Exchange, will officially open for business at the end of this month." ”
Far Eastern Stock Exchange?
Is the time of the Far Eastern Conference coming?!
Fok Yaowen squinted slightly and began to think about the Hong Kong stock market.
......
Hong Kong's stock market has a long history of securities trading, which has existed since the early days of the port, with the first stock exchange appearing in 1891 and the second in 1921. In 1947, the two exchanges merged to form the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but they were controlled by British capital.
In this way, all the way into the end of the 60s, Hong Kong's economy gradually took off, and Chinese-funded companies had an increasing demand for listing and fundraising, but their listing applications were repeatedly rejected.
In this context, Li Fu has been planning to set up a Chinese securities exchange since 1965, and he spent four full years to establish the Far East Stock Exchange, which became the first Chinese securities exchange registered in Hong Kong and even in the world.
Speaking of Li Fu, there may not be many people who know, but his family is also a wealthy family in Hong Kong, before the rise of the four major real estate families, Li Fu's grandfather Li Peicai was a famous banker in Hong Kong in the late 19th century, and the Lee family and the Ho Tung family, Lee Hysan family, and Luo Wenjin family were called the "four major families" in Hong Kong.
After graduating from the University of Hong Kong, Li Fu went to the University of Pennsylvania to study finance again, and returned to Hong Kong after graduation to obtain a certified public accountant, and spent several years studying Hong Kong's financial market.
At this time, Hong Kong's securities trading was not as well-known as it was a few years later, and except for a very small number of elites, most of the people did not know what a securities exchange was, so when the "Commercial Daily" published this news in the newspaper, in addition to causing an uproar in the financial circles, it did not cause any waves among ordinary people.
After reading the contents of the newspaper, the vast majority of people only lamented the rise of Chinese businessmen, and even opened the securities exchange of foreign devils.
But what these people didn't expect was that next year, after the Far Eastern Exchange successfully listed dozens of Chinese companies, this kind of digital game, which does not require labor and manpower, can easily earn several times the money, and with such lucrative benefits, it will guide thousands of citizens to pour into the exchange to buy all kinds of stock securities.
It also led to an unprecedented stock market crash in Hong Kong in 73 years a few years later.
Huo Yaowen saw the news at the first glance, and the first thought in his heart was to buy stocks, although he didn't know much about the stock market during this period, but he also knew that buying stocks now is 100% not a loss.
In the next few years, the prosperity of Hong Kong's stock market began with the establishment of the Far East Club, if you buy the shares of listed companies now, almost all of them are sure to make a profit, because stock market securities trading is a relatively new industry for the general public in Hong Kong at this time, spend a few dollars to buy a stock, two or three days can rise to ten yuan, this kind of visible interests, is a personal heart.
Therefore, after the popularization of securities trading and the first person to eat crabs made profits, many people who had saved a lifetime of money would flock to it, and these people did not understand stocks, and could not distinguish between good and bad, but blindly followed the recommendations of stock managers and bought those stocks of listed companies that were worthless or shelled, and so on, a bad stock could be speculated into a good stock.
What made Huo Yaowen have the most profound impact should be a Hong Kong antenna stock a few years later, this leather bag company with no company office, no staff, and only a listing report, not only went public successfully, but its stock price could soar from one to more than 40 yuan, this kind of almost crazy stock speculation behavior has been separated from the foundation of the creation of the stock market.
"Jingle Bell ......"
At this moment, a rapid phone rang.
The nearest teacher got up to answer the phone, and after saying a few words, he shouted, "Teacher Huo is looking for you." ”
When he spoke, he still frowned.
Huo Yaowen put down the newspaper in his hand, got up and walked over quickly, thanked him, took the phone and said, "Hey, I'm Huo Yaowen." ”
I only heard the person who called timidly said: "Yao, cousin Yaowen, I am Wanjun." ”
"Is it Wanjun?what's wrong?" Huo Yaowen asked.
Zhang Wanjun said: "Cousin Yaowen, the new issue of Literary World has published "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", you can take a look. ”
Since Huo Yaowen led her to the literary world to sign a contract more than a week ago, Deng McKee has already begun to arrange for Zhang Wanjun's book to be published in a weekly magazine, and after the release of the new literary world weekly this week, Zhang Wanjun ran to the newsstand to buy the content of this issue as soon as possible.
Seeing that the book she wrote was published in the weekly magazine for the first time, Zhang Wanjun didn't mention how excited she was, and at the same time, she also thought of Huo Yaowen for the first time, and wanted to tell the other party the good news, so she hurriedly made a phone call.
When Huo Yaowen heard this, he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll buy it when I'm free tomorrow." ”
"Hmm. Zhang Wanjun responded, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "By the way, cousin, my aunt asked you to go home for dinner the day after tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow is my aunt's birthday." ”
"I know, I'll go back then. ”
For Grandma's birthday, Huo Yaowen already knew it before.
