Chapter 176 caught a "pile" of gold

In early September, "Hurricane Rescue" was released in North America and caused quite a stir. And this sensation, on the one hand, came from the movie itself, and on the other hand, it came from Zhang Yi's residual heat that did not cause a sensation at the beginning.

The style of the film is undoubtedly more in line with Western tastes, especially its action and narrative mode. However, the first week of release failed to continue the miracle of Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil" in North America and topped the box office. However, it entered the top five of the North American box office by a narrow margin.

This is quite a remarkable achievement for a Hong Kong film. What is unexpected is that in the second week, it suddenly made a strong effort, and won the third place in the weekly box office list by a narrow margin.

Before that, "Hurricane Rescue" was painted in Hong Kong, and lived up to the miracle of winning 50 million box office, becoming the first film in Hong Kong to break the box office record of 50 million, and also became the highest-grossing film in Hong Kong.

This achievement has made countless people envious, jealous and hateful. To this end, Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao of Debao Company immediately held a grand celebration banquet. However, Zhang Yi did not attend the banquet. At this time, he is paying attention to the foreign exchange market day and night.

By August, Reagan's carefully planned across-the-board deceleration policy was introduced. Then, the plan to increase U.S. spending was approved by the U.S. Congress. Orders flew from the Pentagon to the US military-industrial complex. The U.S. economy, stimulated by the rapid growth of defense orders and its tax cuts, suddenly infected the financial markets.

In New York, Tokyo, and the major foreign exchange markets of European countries, the exchange rate of the US dollar against other currencies in the world has risen in an all-round way, and the stock market has also risen like a bull holding back its strength. The U.S. economy is doing well. Countless foreign investors have mobilized capital and flocked to the U.S. market.

At this time, Zhang Yi knew that the bubble was getting bigger and bigger, and the time for bursting was getting closer and closer.

September 6, 1985. It's a Sunday. The box office results of "Hurricane Rescue" in North America have not yet been announced, and the celebration of Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao is still in preparation. The US Treasury Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, the Treasurers of Britain, France, Germany, and Japan, and the Central Bank Governors held a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

Conference room, the participants of the distant consultation decided: jointly unload the intervention in the international financial market and adjust the excessively high dollar. This agreement is known as the "Hiroshima Hotel Agreement"!

By this time, it was already the morning of Monday, September 7 across Asia. At this time, Zhang Yi was already buying a large amount of yen.

In the following week, Zhang Yi was never able to calm down, that is, he couldn't even calm down when he practiced boxing every morning, rain or shine. Always in the excitement.

When the United Kingdom and the United States and other five countries regulated their finances, the dollar immediately depreciated, and Japan and the mark rose. It immediately attracted the attention of many people. And then a report caused a great storm in Hong Kong.

After the United States introduced a tax cut policy in August, and increased national defense and military spending, Zhang Yi published a comment on the economy in Ming Pao, but not many people cared, and they thought it was a person with the same name and surname.

And this report shook Zhang Yi's report out without saying anything, and reported that Zhang Yi raised 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars a few months ago and gambled all his net worth to speculate in foreign exchange. Now. The fluctuation of the foreign exchange market is as Zhang Yi expected, so how much money did he get with the help of this foreign exchange fluctuation?

The foreign exchange market involves the stock market and the futures market. If used properly, several times. More than a dozen times, even dozens of times. If it is dozens of times, then Zhang Yi is undoubtedly worth tens of billions now.

is worth tens of billions, and he is still a nineteen-year-old boy. A self-made teenager who has only been around for two or three years. Wit. Caizi. If that's the case, then it's still a piece of wealth, it's simply the God of Wealth.

Zhang Yi is originally Hong Kong. Even legends of Southeast Asia. Now, the net worth has skyrocketed instantly, and its legend is even more talked-about.

Zhang Yi earns millions, tens of millions of dollars from a movie, which is already like robbing a bank in the eyes of others. Now, compared with this foreign exchange speculation, it is simply weak.

As soon as this report came out, it was instantly reprinted by countless media, and then spread to Southeast Asia. People are speculating about how much Zhang Yi made in this foreign exchange? Now, what is his net worth? But no matter how much he makes, it is estimated that his worth is also at the level of a tycoon in Hong Kong.

On February 6, 1986, Hong Kong's Hong Kong Economic Journal ranked among the top ten consortia in Hong Kong, and the market value of four listed companies in Cheung Kong was more than HK$34 billion, ranking first.

If Zhang Yi really made dozens of times in foreign exchange this time, dozens of times that of 1.5 billion, how much would it be? Perhaps, probably, he is probably already the richest man in Hong Kong.

No one can have an accurate number, not even Zhang Yi knows. All he knew was that he had made a lot of money this time. It is said that the "first pot of gold" is fished, and Zhang Yi used foreign exchange this time, and the gold he fished can no longer be described as a "bucket", he fished a bunch, a lot!

After reading the economic commentary written by Zhang Yi, many people who disdained it or did not pay attention to it immediately regretted it. But there is no regret medicine in this world.

Money, sometimes too, is also a bargaining chip for identity. There is no doubt that Zhang Yi's net worth has skyrocketed this time, and his status has also risen, even if he is not qualified to be on an equal footing with the older generation of Hong Kong tycoons, but at least it has attracted their attention.

Especially the Huo family.

The relationship between Zhang Yi and the Huo family has always been delicate. Miss Huo learned kung fu under Zhang Yi, and Huo Zhenyu, the son of the Huo family, and Zhang Yi partnered in a lot of business. But this is all a cooperation between juniors, and the elders of the Huo family are just out of a laissez-faire state. At the beginning, he gave Zhang Yi face, and it was mostly for the sake of Zhao Chenxi's face as a Hongmen boss. And now, the attitude towards Zhang Yi has to change.

When "Rescue from the Hurricane" was drawn at the box office of 60 million in North America, Zhang Yi's focus shifted from the foreign exchange market to the film market.

Practicing martial arts and making movies, that's what Zhang Yi is interested in. As for making money, Zhang Yi likes to make money with money, but he doesn't like to use people to make money.

Now that he has money, Zhang Yi naturally has no shortage of people who make money for him. Everything must be done in person, it is estimated that it is the same as Zhuge Liang, and he deserves to be tired.

Someone makes money, in order to live. And there are people who live to make money. Zhang Yi is obviously not alive to make money, and he will not only make money.

Money, naturally, is not too much. But it's not like doing anything for more money. Making money is not an end in itself, just a means to an end.

The post-production of "Changing Face" has been completed, but there is no rush to release it. Several successive box office hits have consumed too much of the consumption potential of the Hong Kong film market. Therefore, its release is scheduled for late November.

And there are three other works related to Zhang Yi. "Rush Hour", co-produced with Golden Harvest, has entered post-production at this time, and "Thunderbolt Baby", which cooperated with Yuan Heping, has now ended filming and entered post-production.

And "My Sassy Girlfriend" starring Zhou Huimin is still before "Changing Face", and has already been completed, after all, there are no big scenes in this movie, and the shooting is naturally much faster. And its schedule is also ranked before "Changing Face", at the end of October.

"Thirty million! So much? Hong Jinbao looked at the check handed over by Zhang Yi, a little shocked, then looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Ah Yi, how much did you earn in the foreign exchange market this time?" ”

"Hehe, Brother Sanmao. Your funds are too small and too short for me to give you a percentage of what I earn. Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"You know what I didn't mean." Hong Jinbao said angrily. Then he was stunned. I gave Zhang Yi 5 million, and now I got 30 million in a short time. That is, it has multiplied sixfold and netted fivefold. And listening to Zhang Yi's tone just now, it seems that he has earned more than this multiple.

That's six times. Six times as many as 1.5 billion, that's 9 billion! Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi with some dumbfounded, his mouth was big, and he didn't know what to say.

Envy, jealousy, hatred? Envy, there is! Jealousy, too, absolutely! Hate, that's naturally gone. In a short period of time, he earned more than 20 million yuan, and he didn't do anything. It's too late to thank for such a good thing, how can you hate!

"Ah Yi, you tell me honestly, how much did you earn this time? Are you now the richest man in Hong Kong as rumored to be? Hong Jinbao came back to his senses and hurriedly asked, looking at Zhang Yi with great anticipation, waiting for his answer.

"Hehe, Brother Sanmao, when did you gossip like this." Zhang Yi smiled, but did not answer. (To be continued......)
