Chapter 303: The Jumper
This weekend, the Wong Tai Sin Temple in Kowloon is in full bloom, and there are countless people who go to pray to the gods and petition, although these people come in twos and threes, but when they walk around the Wong Tai Sin Temple, they can always quickly integrate into a small group of people gathering.
Without him, because no matter what kind of industry these people are engaged in, whether it is a boss or a wage earner, they all have a common identity, that is, shareholders.
And the topic they discussed was, of course, the stock market.
Although many people in the industry questioned the Hong Kong government's behavior of suspending the stock market for four days, believing that this would greatly damage the healthy operation of the stock market and make investors lose confidence in the stock market, for these small shareholders, they are happy to see it, and they have only one wish - the stocks in their hands will not fall.
Six days have passed since Black Monday, and many shareholders have been angry that even a stock market crash should be extinguished.
Their stocks, finally saved!
However, in the evening of the same day, a very unfavorable news came, the chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Li Zhaofu, announced his resignation as chairman, and his status changed from chairman to vice chairman.
It is true that Li Zhaofu has been questioned and criticized by industry insiders for several days, but he has always been unmoved, insisting that the move of closing the market is correct, not for his own selfish interests and to prevent the stock from falling to the limit, but to facilitate settlement.
But he has been resisting for so many days, why did he suddenly announce his resignation the night before the stock market was about to open?
This is undoubtedly an extremely unsettling signal to the market.
Those Hong Kong investors who have just breathed a sigh of relief have tensed their nerves again, and this is destined to be another sleepless night.
On October 26, the weather in Hong Kong was bright and still sunny.
However, the mood of most citizens is not bright, worried, nervous, uneasy, and fearful...... These negative emotions are full of people's hearts.
The stock market opened a full hour later than usual, which is already a sign that the situation is not optimistic.
But many people are still comforting themselves, thinking that after four days of market closure, the stock market will always need some adjustment, a normal technical adjustment, yes, it must be so!
Who wouldn't want that?
But the reality is very cruel, at half past ten in the morning, as soon as the stock market opened, the Hang Seng Index was like taking a laxative, all the way to the ......
For a whole day, there was no sign of raising their heads, and the stock exchange was full of ghosts and wolves, and the heads that were dense one moment were like cutting wheat the next moment and fell to the ground one after another.
Some people couldn't bear the pressure and fainted directly, while others lost their souls and sat on the ground crying.
A few people had a heart attack on the spot, and by the time the ambulance arrived, they were already unresponsive......
In just one day, another Monday, the Hang Seng Index fell a total of 1,120.70 points to close at 2,241.69 points, a drop of 33%!
It set a record for the world's largest single-day decline, and the spot futures index market fell for the fourth time!
Putting aside the total amount of capital in the market, compared with the decline of Hong Kong stocks this time, the Black Monday of the 19th of the US stock market is not worth mentioning at all, and their decline on that day is only 22%.
On this day, Hong Kong stocks directly evaporated one-third of their market value, and thousands of shareholders went bankrupt in an instant!
At night, sirens can be heard everywhere in the city of Hong Kong, and there are countless jumpers......
On this day, Li Yadong didn't go anywhere, just stayed at home, and the little scalper went to class, so he accompanied Yichen and Yiyu, the two little girls, to play with the newly bought leather balls.
He has just picked up a billion dollars from the U.S. stock market, and his mood is undoubtedly happy, but he knows that there will be too many tragedies on this day, so he only locks his happiness at home, savoring it alone, and does not touch those souls that will be broken at the slightest touch.
The stock market is up and down, and seemingly endless wealth beckons to you, but how many can really reach the other side?
……
The next day, Li Yadong had been resting at home for several days and decided to go out for a walk.
Because if he doesn't go out, someone will definitely come to the door later, and that is Pan Disheng, who is also at a loss.
At present, it is not yet time to take a stake in Dickson, the Hang Seng Index is still falling, and the tail of the stock market crash is still at work, and he doesn't want to be a pick-up man.
I went to the company first, Dongfanghong Pictures is operating normally, and small companies also have the benefits of small companies, self-financing, reasonable adjustment, and no need to worry about market fluctuations.
The only need for listing is financing, and if there is no shortage of capital turnover, it is actually more conducive to the company's control if it is not listed.
For example, Lao Gan Ma, Huawei and other companies.
Once these two companies go public, especially Huawei, tsk......
"Boss, I heard that you have made a lot of money in the stock market recently, do you have any plans to expand the scale of the company?" Chen Jiaying invited him to the office, made him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile.
Li Yadong smiled and asked rhetorically, "Do you think work is too leisurely?"
"yes. Chen Jiaying smiled bitterly.
At present, the development of Dongfanghong Pictures is too simple, saying that it is making movies, but in fact, there is only a group of people who are rushing to shoot a series of movies day and night.
The work in other aspects is almost equal to zero, and it is basically enough to have Liu Weiqiang on the set, but she, the CEO, deals with some trivial things all day long, and seems to have nothing to do.
She naturally knows about the upstairs office, and she also knows that the boss is bent on the stock market some time ago, and the money must have been earned, because the five people upstairs have been on vacation, and it is said that they have traveled to Hawaii, but she doesn't know how much she earned.
"Don't worry. Li Yadong smiled, his subordinates are aggressive, and he, as the boss, naturally has no reason to discourage enthusiasm, "After a while, we should have our own office building, and when the time comes, I will provide you with space and funds, and you will do it according to your own ideas." ”
Chen Jiaying was overjoyed when he heard this, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Okay!"
After leaving the company, Li Yadong drove to Causeway Bay again, saying that he didn't come to the set for some days, he was too busy some time ago, there was no way, and now he is idle and doesn't come to the crew to condole, it's really a little unreasonable.
Since it was a condolence, naturally I couldn't be empty-handed, and I was going to find a supermarket to buy something, but I suddenly remembered the neighbor's Dedu Department Store.
After all, it was a neighbor, and if there was a business, it was natural to take care of it, and after thinking about it, it was not far away, so I drove over.
When approaching the door of Dedu Department Store, he saw a circle of people in front of the door, Li Yadong thought: The little glasses next door are okay, the current Hong Kong economy is gloomy, his department store is running well, and the flow of people is full.
parked the car on the side of the road, and when he got out of the car, Li Yadong realized that he would be wrong.
These people gathered at the door were not customers of the department store, but passers-by came to see the excitement, because ...... Someone is going to jump off a building!
"Alas...... Again, from yesterday to today, I have seen five or six alone. An aunt next to her sighed.
"Aunt Wang, you are rare and strange, you go to Central to have a look, the stock market fell yesterday, and I don't know how many people went bankrupt, and they still owe a lot of debts, and they can't afford to pay it back, what can they do if they don't jump off the building?"
"If you want me to say, these people deserve it, they are already very rich, but they are not satisfied, and they want to go to the stock market to search again, the money on the stock market is so easy to make, they have no memory at all, and the whole of Hong Kong does not know how many people died in the big stock market crash in 74 years!"
Everyone was talking, Li Yadong kicked his eyes and glanced at the top of the third floor, how did he feel that this person's figure was a little familiar?
He has myopia, ten meters away, it can be said that there is no distinction between humans and animals, what does the jumper look like, such a distance, I really can't see clearly.
At this moment, there was a young man next to him, holding a telescope, looking up with great interest, and humming Sister Mei's energetic songs in his mouth.
"Pretty boy, borrow your telescope and use it. ”
The young man put away his binoculars and glanced at Li Yadong, and asked in a dragging voice, "Why?"
“……”
Are young people so hard to talk now?
Li Yadong was slightly speechless, reached out to his pocket, took out a handful of banknotes, and found that there was no change, so he directly threw a five-hundred-yuan scalper over, "I bought the telescope." ”
"I'll go ......" Xiao Young hurriedly stretched out his hand to take it, his eyes were frighteningly bright, you must know that his telescope was only eighty yuan, and he bought it in a department store, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he stuffed the telescope in his hand into his arms, "The deal, it's yours." ”
After Li Yadong took the telescope, when he was about to look upward, he found that the little young pestle was motionless beside him, still looking at him with a smile.
Angry and said, "Anything else?"
"I just want to ask this boss, do you want such a telescope? ”
“……”
Li Yadong no longer paid attention to him, raised the binoculars to take a look, and when he saw the face of the jumper, he couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Huang Deping!
Let's just talk about how it looks so familiar.
"Excuse me, borrow. ”
Squeezed through the crowd in a hurry, Li Yadong planned to go upstairs to dissuade him, what was there so much that he wanted to jump off the building?
Could it be that he also failed in the stock market?
After all, they are neighbors, and they had dinner together a few days ago, and they took 10,000 steps back and said that they played with his two daughters all day yesterday, and they couldn't watch him fall to their deaths in front of them, right?
