Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Ultimate Desire and the Attack Begins
The scene in Yanjing was still vivid, and now he learned that Song Ling and several others were in charge of the funds allocated by the central government to support the Hong Kong economy, which made Zhong Shi highly vigilant.
At this time, the Hong Kong securities market had clear regulations on "market misconduct", including insider trading, stock market manipulation, false trading, price manipulation of securities or futures contracts, disclosure of illegal securities or futures contract trading information, and disclosure of false and misleading information.
However, prior to 2003, insider trading was only subject to administrative penalties, which were adjudicated by the Hong Kong Insider Dealing Tribunal, and persons designated as insider traders could get out of the situation by paying a fee to the relevant SAR government, which was not more than three times the profit or loss avoided from insider trading.
I have to say that this penalty is much worse than that of other countries, especially the U.S. market. The punishment for insider trading in the U.S. market is basically to ask a lawyer to make a "guilty inference", that is, assuming that you are guilty, if you can't prove your innocence, then you will eventually be convicted of illegal trading.
Although Zhong Shi is not worried about the accusations of insider trading, he is afraid that he will lose his license to enter Hong Kong because of the retaliation of some people, and if so, it will definitely be more than worth the loss compared to the blueprint he has sketched in mind.
Therefore, Zhong Shi did not allow anyone to have problems at this juncture, especially since he had already made a lot of money from these people. It's just that people's greed is unlimited, so Zhongshi always has to beat it all the time.
Now, he's got the point. Let them fight in the securities market as individuals, and whether they can make gains in this wave of market depends on their creation.
Naturally, these words would not have been said to Andrew.
"Are you sure you won't let me go to TV again?" After thinking for a while, Andrew asked a little unwillingly.
It was after this return that Zhong Shi ordered that Andrew should no longer be allowed to participate in the so-called TV financial commentary program, at least for the time being, he was not allowed to continue to appear on TV. Although Andrew has not said anything about the Hong Kong market so far, the growing public opinion and complaint calls have put increasing pressure on the producers, who are already trying to trick Andrew into talking about the Hang Seng Index.
Bell Stone, who noticed this sign, immediately stopped Andrew's public relations activities. Although Andrew was very reluctant, he also had to obey the overall situation.
"Yes!" Zhong Shi nodded. "We're like a quiet period before the stock goes public. It's best not to make any noise that might induce investors, otherwise you risk giving someone a handle. ”
Andrew shook his head in confusion, and after a while, he said slowly: "Zhong Sheng, why do I think you have become bolder." Where did the indomitable time of the arrogant short Nikkei and London copper go back then. Now we have a net worth far more than we can spend. But you're getting more timid and more conservative, and that's very disappointing to me. ”
"Very disappointed?" Zhong Shi sneered, a disdainful expression on his face. "Andrew, we've known each other for 10 years. In 10 years, have you seen me make the wrong decision? No, probably not. Although we now have a large amount of assets, you should not forget that if you make a negligent bet on the wrong one, it can be wiped out in an instant. This is because there are more and more assets, and the level of contact is getting higher and higher, so I know that there are many ulterior insiders in this world, and it is appalling to say it. So I can only be careful, I don't want to be the target of a certain power or regime kidnapping, and in the end my goal is to become an independent existence that all parties must win over and cannot be ignored, not a character who cowers like now, and even you old buddy looks down on. ”
"Wooing all sides? A presence that cannot be ignored? Andrew's face showed an incredible look, his eyes were wide open, his mouth was wide open, and after a long time, he let out a long sigh and said, "If that's the case, it's a good choice." But how is this possible? ”
"How could it be?"
Zhong Shi frowned, and immediately retorted, "As long as this time passes, my wish will soon come true." Wait and see, when that time comes, let the whole world know about me...... No, I know your name. ”
"My name?" Andrew was dumbfounded again, "Shouldn't it be your name?" I don't want to be a well-known person in the world, and I'm very satisfied with my life now. No, no, it's not the life I want. ”
"Ha Lu Ha." Zhong Shi smiled, not taking Andrew's thought to heart at all, "I see that you didn't enjoy that feeling of being sought after some time ago?" Famous in the financial market, commenting on the economic situation in Southeast Asia is at his fingertips, not only with clear logic, but also with extremely accurate predictions, as if he has become a dazzling star. Don't you want this kind of life? ”
Speaking of this, Andrew's originally somewhat serious face suddenly relaxed, only to see that his eyes were fascinated, his expression was soothing, and he didn't say a word for a long time, obviously immersed in it and couldn't extricate himself.
But half a minute later, his body suddenly shook, his eyes regained clarity, and he put on a serious face again, saying, "This doesn't seem to have anything to do with what you said, right?" After saying that, he couldn't believe it, and an old face couldn't help but blush a little.
Zhong Shi, who had been paying close attention to the changes in his expression, didn't understand anything, and didn't break it, but said lightly: "It's still early before that time, Andrew, you still have enough time to think about this question, you don't have to answer me now." ”
Andrew nodded slowly, bowed his head and stopped talking, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.
……
On October 9, international travel funds officially began to attack the Hong Kong stock market, on this day the Hang Seng Index opened at 14,713 points, and closed at 14,153 points after a day of trading, down more than 560 points, or 3.81%. Trading all day, the opening price is the highest price of the day. It fell to a low of 14,260 points during the session, and then rose slightly.
Investors didn't care, because before that, the Hang Seng Index was not without large fluctuations of 300 or 400 points on the day, which were just normal fluctuations relative to the index as a whole.
Then on October 13, the Hang Seng Index opened at 14,272 points, and has been falling intraday, closing at a low of 13,886 points and closing at 14,072 points in the final session. Down 200 points throughout the day. Decreased by 1.40%.
On October 14, the Hang Seng Index opened at 14,147 points, which was a good phenomenon of opening higher, and once rose to 14,259 points during the session. But then the bears continued to sell the stock. Suppress the upward momentum. The two sides fought fiercely at the psychological barrier of 14,000 points for several rounds, and finally the bears took the advantage, suppressing the Hang Seng Index below 14,000 points. This day fell by 236 points. The final session closed at 13,836 points, down 1.68% for the day.
The morale of the bulls, who failed to hold on to 14,000 points, was severely damaged, and as a result, the stock market fell again the next day, this time falling below the 13,500 mark entirely. The opening index was the highest index of the day, and the lowest index even fell to 13,148 points, but the bulls organized several counterattacks, and finally stabilized the index at around 13,384 points at the close.
The four-day losing streak brought the Hang Seng Index down 1,329 points, or 9.03%, from 14,713 to 13,384, the second stock market drop in addition to the sharp drop in early September. For a while, there were different opinions about the decline, some people were inclined to structural adjustments, some people believed that the recent short selling of investment banks had affected the market, and some people attributed this reason to the bad international environment all day long.
"There is only one reason, and that is that international investors are selling stocks at a high level, which is just a tentative step for them, and there will definitely be more violent ...... next."
Before he finished speaking, he was rudely interrupted by another voice: "Xie Lu Xie Zhong's analysis." Your statement is very original and very wonderful. However, we have limited time, so please ask the next gentleman. ”
Before returning from Yanjing, Zhong Shi promised to keep in touch with the Chinese capital party in charge of the Hong Kong market at some time and give professional opinions and analysis at any time, so there was this conference call.
It's just that Zhong Shi only spoke a few words before he was rudely interrupted by Song Ling, who was presiding over the meeting. Naturally, Zhong Shi would not listen to anything from others anymore, and hung up the phone angrily.
"What the hell is going on with this person? Why has it been targeting you? Zhong Yi, who was silent on the side, was also full of unhappiness. He also wondered what was the reason why Song Ling had been unable to look down on both of them.
"Don't bother with him." Zhong Shi rubbed his face, relaxed his tense nerves, and then looked at Zhong Shi, his face was no longer full of anger, "How is the stock price of Huade Real Estate recently, has there been a sharp drop?" The seller is making waves in the market, and it is estimated that it will soon spread to the real estate sector, and you will not be spared. ”
Zhong Yi shook his head and said, "There is no big fluctuation, it has fallen by about two yuan, and the current price is stable around 28 yuan." After all, our circulation is still relatively small, and even if we want to make waves, I am afraid it will not be easy. ”
Zhong Shi nodded, and began to make small talk again, and then the two of them went about their own business.
Song Ling's side, when the perfunctory conference call finally ended, his face was gloomy, and he complained to several other people in charge of the securities market in Hong Kong: "Everyone can speak well on weekdays, but if you want to really ask questions, you use those things that are out of tune to prevaricate." What fucking structural adjustments, what big environmental impacts, and even more unreliable air-side attack theories. You must know that Soros said that the Hong Kong market is fine, what a stinky idiot. ”
"Then we ......" After he finished his anger, a middle-aged man asked with a frown.
"Save the city, of course save the city!" Song Ling had a disdainful sneer on his face, "Gave us so much money, if we don't use it, we will be sorry for the love from above." Isn't it? However, we don't have to use too much, the amount of funds of 100 million Hong Kong dollars is enough, and I believe that we can hold up the market. (To be continued......)
