Chapter 585: Another Stock Market Shock

Just when Ye Jingcheng took time to stay in the crew of "Truant Dragon" and give correct shooting guidance for Wang Jing and Zhou Xingchi, a big news broke out in the outside world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Jardine Matheson Group, one of the four major foreign companies, suddenly broke the news that a leader suggested that the registered location of Jardine Matheson Holdings should be changed from Hong Kong Island to Bermuda.

At this time, it was a period of 'Sino-British handover' negotiations on the future of Hong Kong Island, and this move by the Jardine Matheson Group was undoubtedly a lack of confidence in the issue of the return of '97'.

The incident was announced on Wednesday, and the SFC immediately announced that the market would be closed for the afternoon. On the premise that the situation of many things is not clear enough, this move will undoubtedly intensify the reaction of the masses.

In particular, the masses who hold the shares of Jardine Matheson Group are faced with the possibility of a sharp drop in the stock price of Jardine Matheson, but they have no way to sell the stocks in their hands, and they are anxious like ants on a hot pot for a while.

In just one and a half years, the residents of Hong Kong Island have experienced three major traumas in the property market, the ninety-seven market, and the stock market, and if they are given such a heavy blow, many people will be forced to jump off the building if they don't want to.

That night, Hong Kong stocks in London fell sharply, many of which were even once down the limit, and the share prices of Jardine Matheson Group and Hongkong Land fell by about 10%.

The next day, the Hang Seng Index closed at 1057.09 points, down 61.76, or 5.8%, below the lowest level in five years.

Originally, because of Li Jiacheng's joint stock market action, many shareholders fell into dire straits, and most of them were on the verge of collapse due to the impact of Jardine Matheson Group.

Coupled with some unconfirmed rumors, some experts and industry insiders believe that the Hong Kong dollar will become more 'watery' in the future, and may even fall to 1 US dollar to 20 yuan.

You can imagine how chaotic it was when a large number of stockholders rushed into various securities companies after the market opened, and demanded that the staff sell their stocks with a tough attitude.

Ye Jingcheng naturally knows about this, he just invested in the filming of "Truant Dragon", which does not mean that he is cut off from the outside world. In addition, the convenience of mobile phones, he already knew the ins and outs of the whole thing before the news was circulated through the media.

However, for him, this matter is not about himself, and he has no need to intervene or meddle, only a little more speculation in his heart.

He suspected that the incident had something to do with Li Ka-shing's stock market action, or that it was a planned plan, and Jardine Matheson was involved in the whole thing from the beginning.

……

As a result of this incident, a new wave of unemployment broke out on Hong Kong Island.

In the past, a company had a maximum of a few or a dozen job seekers competing for a position.

But now, it is an ordinary office position, and dozens of people rush to grab it. Some companies with better benefits and advantages are facing the gathering of hundreds of job seekers.

Many unemployed people do nothing every day, and work around some intermediary companies so that they can go for an interview as soon as there is a job posting.

But the opportunity can always be grasped by a small number of people, and those who do not grasp the opportunity can only grind it day after day, Wang Xiaochuan and Kang Jianren are also among them.

The two met in the process of talking with Ye Jingcheng, and now they have become good friends with each other in reality. Before they lost their jobs, they were urban white-collar workers and street performers.

Wang Xiaochuan is no longer an urban white-collar worker because of the company's bankruptcy. As for Kang Jianren, he didn't perform his eagle catching skills on the street anymore, because no matter how well he performed, no one would watch him.

Or that there are people who watch it, but these people just look at it and don't give money, which has a great impact on his living expenses, so he can only plan to find a job in a down-to-earth manner.

"Ogawa, you're back." Because of the need to save food and clothing, the environment where the two live has changed from the original neighbors to the current bunk beds.

"yes, I didn't apply today." Wang Xiaochuan buckled the tie down and breathed a sigh of relief.

Kang Jianren also shook his head and sighed: "At least you still have a chance to go to the interview, I can't even get the opportunity to interview." The job seekers are more brutal than the other, and there are more applicants than the people who go to the market to sell vegetables, but there are only one or two vacant positions. ”

"It's hard to find a job lately." Wang Xiaochuan absolutely empathizes.

You must know that as a former urban white-collar worker, he has a greater advantage than ordinary people. Rao can't find a job like this, and the difficulty of finding a job can be imagined.

When Wang Xiaochuan glanced at Kang Jianren's eagle grip, he couldn't help but have an idea in his heart, and pointed out: "Ah Ren, have you ever thought about applying for the artist exam in the past?" ”

"Applying for an artist?" Kang Jianren touched Wang Xiaochuan's forehead, and then said in a tone that you don't have a fever: "Now if you want to run tricks, no one wants it, and you also said that you are applying for an artist." ”

"Can't apply for the artist? Normally, it won't work. Wang Xiaochuan rubbed his chin, lingering at the thought.

Next, he rolled his eyes, and first straightened his sitting posture, intending to give the other party an ideological education. "No, you have to think so." ”

What he meant was roughly, aren't you Kang Jianren good at eagle skills? If you can't apply for the artist, you can become a dragon and tiger martial artist. This job pays well, and at the moment it is not very competitive.

The most important point is that you can cover him by the way when the time comes.

After a round of persuasion, Kang Jianren was moved. If you think about it carefully, this is indeed a way out, it is better than him blindly looking for a job, and he has absolute confidence that the conditions for becoming a Dragon and Tiger Martial Master can be achieved.

The two toasted with water instead of wine, Wang Xiaochuan patted Kang Jianren on the shoulder, and said with a good attitude of the two brothers: "That's right, I'll invite you to watch a movie tonight." ”

"That's a good feeling, I heard that there have been several blockbusters released recently, and I have always wanted to watch them and I don't have time." Kang Jianren should admit it.

"I heard that in addition to Green Lantern Entertainment's "Lame Hao", Golden Harvest's "Brave Double Cannon" and Golden Princess's "Difficult Brothers", the audience's response is good, which one should we watch?" Wang Xiaochuan asked.

Kang Jianren thought about it for a while and confirmed: "Just watch "Lame Hao", tomorrow we will go to Green Lantern Entertainment to apply for a job first, and there will be a topic at that time, right?" ”

"You're right." Wang Xiaochuan raised his thumb.

Originally, he also planned to save money, or simply go to the Shaw Brothers theater to watch. Looking back and thinking about it, why didn't I take this into account, if I went to the interview when the time came, and I didn't even watch the other party's movie, then I still have the face to continue to make up topics?
