Chapter 376: Social Edition
Lu Jiangfan tapped his index finger on the newspaper and said, "In the current stock market, fools can make money, but it is just a matter of earning more and earning less, 69 years when the Hang Seng Index hit a new high of 160.05 on December 29, and then the stock market continued to rise, hitting a new high of 406.32 on September 20, 1971, an increase of 1.5 times in less than two years." β
He added, "I believe it will rise, because a large number of British-funded brokerage firms are paying attention to the Hong Kong stock market." Foreign funds trading Hong Kong securities show that they are optimistic about the current stock market. β
Gu Yaluo frowned lightly, hot money flowed in, and a large number of foreign investors took advantage of the inflated momentum accumulated in the Hong Kong stock market for a long time, first injected capital to raise the stock price, and then withdrew......
Lu Jiangfan raised his index finger and smiled mysteriously, "Do you know what your book profit is now that your funds have oversubscribed for new shares since last year?" β
"I'll come, I'll come!" Lu Haoshan said excitedly, "In the past two years, 25 and 16 companies have been listed in Hong Kong, and most of the high-quality listed companies such as Baohua Construction, Miramar Hotel Enterprise, Nanlian Industrial, Global Electronics, etc., are 'oversubscribed' dozens or hundreds of times, and most of the stock prices after 'listing' have exceeded the 'reserve price' by several times or several times, and you have made huge profits." β
Lu Haoshan then said, "In the past two years, the stock market has only begun to involve ordinary citizens, and everyone has a wait-and-see attitude towards unfamiliar things, so the listing is subscribed at the face price of one yuan." After listing, the stock price soared by more than ten or twenty or thirty times. It's really like what Dad said, now a fool can make money when he enters the stock market. He said excitedly, "In terms of trading volume, the total trading volume for the whole year of 1969 was 2.546 billion yuan. In 1970, it jumped to 5.989 billion yuan, and in 1971 it soared to 14.793 billion yuan. β
"Wow......" the crowd chimed in.
Lu Haoshan is good at inciting people's emotions, and it's a pity not to do 'pyramid schemes'. As Gu Yaluo said. In the stock market, he finally regained the confidence that he had been beaten up when he was auditioned.
"I've also heard that the people in this tea restaurant who originally watched the Book of Horses have now changed to the financial version of the Stock Classic." Jiang Huifen then looked at Lu Zhongfu and said, "Old man, let's also give the money to Jiang Fan and let him speculate in stocks!" β
Lu Zhongfu thought for a while and said, "In order to support my son's career, I will only give you half of the dividends, and the rest of the money." I went on to buy the faΓ§ade. Eggs cannot be placed in one basket. β
"Hmmm! I agree. Jiang Huifen nodded in agreement.
"But grandpa's house prices have also risen a lot in the past two years." Lu Haoshan said, "It's not as cost-effective to buy stocks as now." β
Lu Zhongfu thought about it and shook his head. "I still stick to my investment method, after all, the house is real, and if the stock falls in my hand, it will be waste paper." He added, "Say it again." The lot I bought is still on the original basis. It's relatively remote, and it can't go up much. β
"Dad, you won't be able to live there in the future, the newly appointed governor of Hong Kong seems to have a conscience, and Hong Kong Island is increasing the construction of the Eastern District." Lu Jiangfan agreed.
Lu Zhongfu still believes in the recognition of his second son, after all, the level of his contact is higher and more macroscopic than his.
It's not like he spends all day in the tea restaurant, and he is exposed to all kinds of things in the market and trivial things of life. Microscopic little things.
"What about us?" Lu Jiangchuan looked at Cheng Wanyi, and the two muttered a few words in a low voice. He looked up and said, "The dividends given by my sister, except for the ones I spent on buying a car, we will hand over the rest to the second brother to deal with it all." β
When Lu Jiangzhou and his wife discussed, Lu Jiangzhou and his wife did not discuss in a low voice, Lu Jiangzhou said, "Then we also support his second uncle, and this year's dividends will be handed over to his second uncle." β
Lu Jiangdan also took out the same amount of money as his eldest brother and handed it to Lu Jiangfan to operate.
The remaining juniors also gave half of the dividends from last year's barbecue stall to the second uncle and second uncle, and half to Lu Haoshan.
When Lu Haoshan heard this, he was a little moved and at a loss, "You guys? You ......"
"Third brother, don't leave you, the money will be used for you with confidence, we won't ask." Lu Haosi said softly, "Even if we lose, we don't care, it's a big deal for us to buy more kebabs, just buy a lesson, I always think that stocks are not so fun, ninety percent of the losers are retail investors." β
Gu Yaluo looked at Lu Haosi unexpectedly, it was rare, there was such a rational person.
Lu Zhongfu looked at Lu Haoshan, and swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.
"You can rest assured, for your trust. I will take you seriously with professional ethics because this is my first client. Lu Haoshan patted his chest and reassured.
Lu Jiangfan and Lu Zhongfu glanced at each other, their eyes were full of relief.
"Okay, it's almost time, it's all gone!" Lu Zhongfu got up and said.
"Dad! Mother! Good night. β
"Grandpa, grandma, good night."
"Grandpa, grandma, good night."
&*&
It's another sunny morning, with the smell of spring.
At the breakfast table, Lu Zhongfu opened the newspaper and looked at it with wide eyes.
Jiang Huifen looked at him and asked, "What's the matter, what earth-shattering news is there in the newspaper that makes your eyes open so wide." β
"China and the United States signed the 'Joint Communique' in Shanghai, and in the 'Joint Communique', the United States' position on one China officially stated for the first time that it 'will no longer challenge', just as our Jiangchuan said, which means that Sino-US relations are moving towards 'relative relaxation'. This incident even gave birth to a phrase that has entered our political lexicon, 'Nixon's visit to China'...... Before leaving China, Nixon said at a farewell banquet: 'This is the week that changed the world. It was a bit of Nixon's vanity, but he was right. So writes The Washington Post. β
Nixon's seven-day visit to China was called an "icebreaker trip," and since then relations between China and the United States have begun to normalize.
"It seems that the stock market is going to boil again today." Jiang Huifen said with emotion.
"Tut-tut......" Lu Zhongfu quipped, "when did the old woman also care about the stock market." β
"With so much money invested, can I not care? If I lose this, I won't die of distress! Jiang Huifen clutched her chest and said, "That money came out of Jiang Dan and those female workers day and night." How many clothes you have to sell to make enough money. β
Lu Zhongfu looked at her in surprise and said, "Since you are so distressed." Then you also agreed to give the money to Jiang Fan to operate. β
"That's my son, isn't it?" Jiang Huifen explained why she did it in one sentence.
Then he smiled and said, "Actually, in the final analysis, we still have the confidence and don't care?" Just like Haosi said, it is better to earn, and losing will not affect our life. β
"Pretty open-minded, isn't it?" Lu Zhongfu teased, putting down the newspaper in his hand as he spoke.
Hehe......
"Grandpa, grandma." Gu Zhanshuo's three brothers and sisters came back from morning exercise and made it on the breakfast table.
"What's the news today?" Gu Zhanshuo and the two brothers picked up the newspaper and opened it to read it.
And Lu Haosi and Lu Lu went into the kitchen to help serve the dishes and chopsticks. Set the table.
"Dad, did you sleep well last night?" Lu Jiangzhou walked over after washing up in the bathroom.
"Good!" Lu Zhongfu said.
"Good morning, uncle." Gu Zhanyan's three brothers and sisters greeted in unison.
"Good!" Lu Jiangzhou sat down and arrived.
"Dad. I wonder why I didn't read the newspaper today. Lu Jiangzhou watched the three children flip through the newspaper with them, usually with the children.
"Your dad just looked at the title and put it down." Jiang Huifen said with a smile.
"The front-page headlines of Nixon's visit to China these days are just political shows. The article is much the same. Nothing to look at. Lu Zhongfu said.
"That's up to the locals. Social edition, let's see what government decrees Hong Kong and Britain have. Lu Jiangzhou said, this is directly related to himself.
"Every day, there are some yelling at each other, fighting in groups, and exposing privacy." Lu Zhongfu waved his hand.
"The social version is full of human tragedies, like a family tragedy, even six or seven-year-old children are not spared, it is really inhumane! Fortunately, the murderer was caught. It's your own tenant. The landlord's family was killed, and the body was hidden under the earthen stove. It's miserable! Fortunately, the murderer was caught. Jiang Huifen sighed, and suddenly patted Lu Zhongfu's arm and said, "Old man, you said our tenants." β
Lu Zhongfu couldn't help but laugh and said, "What are you trying to write nonsense?" We've been getting along with our tenants here for more than ten years, don't you know what kind of people you don't know? He continued, "By the way, the family on the fourth floor next to the river boat will not renew the lease after it expires, and I heard that my father is sick, so I moved to live with the family and take care of it." β
"If you want to raise your son but don't wait for your relatives, you should move back." Jiang Huifen nodded.
"Don't rent, don't rent! Seeing that the babies of the Jiangchuan family were about to be born, his house was too small to fit the crib. Just as they left, the partition of the house was beaten, and it was a little bigger," Jiang Huifen said briskly, "While the weather is still not hot, let the river boat and them live in the rooftop house for a month or two, and tidy up the house." β
I don't have money in my hand and I don't live by the rent, everyone used to be crowded together, and I was in a panic of living aggrieved, but now I have a house and I am more relaxed.
The rent of the shop that the old man bought is much higher than the rent of the upstairs units now.
"If you look at the current affairs section, every politician says the same thing. When the Governor of Hong Kong took office, he said that he would carry out reforms. Lu Zhongfu smacked his mouth and said, "I've never heard them say that they won't carry out reforms, how many years have they been reforming, and there seems to be nothing else except price increases." I'm afraid to hear those words now. Don't know what these people are doing? Since you are a political figure, you should have the demeanor of a political figure. Then he waved his hand and said, "If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, how can the British government in Hong Kong work for the welfare of the Chinese!" β
MacLehose served as the 25th Governor of Hong Kong from 1971 to 1982, a term that lasted for 10 and a half years, and was re-elected four times, making him the longest-serving Governor in Hong Kong's history.
Although MacLehose, a diplomat, lacked experience in colonial administration, he was widely regarded as one of the most prominent and beloved governors of Hong Kong in history, and his days as governor were described as 'MacLehose's era'. During his tenure, MacLehose promoted drastic reforms, which brought about profound changes in the social outlook of Hong Kong. (To be continued......)
