In the following time, no matter how Zhong Shi warned in a roundabout way, Song Ling no longer took the news of the so-called "Peregrine may go bankrupt and liquidated" as a thing, but frequently persuaded Zhong Shi to drink, and the result was naturally that Zhong Shi, who was not good at drinking, got drunk, and Song Ling finally found someone to send him home.

Song Ling asked Zhong Shi for help, because the other party was familiar with the operation of hedge funds, and now he basically offended everything he could because of the overstepping lawsuit, and he urgently needed a little achievement to prove himself. And Zhong Shi also turned to Song Ling, hoping to get a semi-official identity through Song Ling, which would help him prevent the human tragedy that might happen in Indonesia.

Although the secretary of Zhuge Pavilion had handed a business card to Zhong Shi last time, it was easy to get a semi-official identity from him, but for this kind of thing, it was difficult for Zhong Shi to explain it when he turned to the other party for help. After all, these people are sharp-eyed, and if they make up an excuse casually, I'm afraid it will be difficult to get by.

He was speechless all night, and when Zhong Shi reappeared in the office of Tianyu Fund the next day, he had almost forgotten about yesterday's events, and he only vaguely remembered that he had reminded Song Ling to beware of the hedge fund's attack again, and he didn't remember what the other party's reaction was.

Shaking his still somewhat painful head, Zhong Shi lit a cigarette, turned on the computer casually, and looked at the performance of the Hang Seng Index today.

Not surprisingly, the market continued to move down after the opening of the market today, which is the usual method of hedge funds, first creating a bullish atmosphere in the market, and then slowly suppressing the stock index, during which the bearish news was constantly spreading. In this case, investors and institutions dare to enter the market boldly. These people who unknowingly fall into other people's traps are still fantasizing, buying more when the price is low, and making more money when the price rebounds, but they don't know that their psychology has long been in the calculations of others.

Today's index opened at 10,212 points, slightly lower than yesterday's close. The index continued to fall shortly after the market opened, and many sectors, including financials and real estate, continued to decline, and the market was once again shrouded in pessimism. At one point during the session, it fell to 10,056 points, approaching the psychological mark of 10,000 points, but in the afternoon trading hours, a rumor suddenly appeared in the market about the good news. The source says that Soros will deliver an important speech in South Korea. The content is to support the Korean market as well as the Asian market. Although it is difficult to distinguish the authenticity of the news, under the stimulus of this news, Hong Kong stocks rebounded slightly in the afternoon, rising slightly by about 80 points. It finally closed at 10,135 points. It fell by 168 points for the day. The decline was 1.63%.

Soon after the market closed, the market rumors were confirmed, and Soros really made a speech in South Korea to support the South Korean economy. And between the lines, there is also news that they are optimistic about other Asian markets, which makes analysts rejoice, and they have predicted that Hong Kong stocks will rise significantly in tomorrow's market.

Watching the news on TV, Zhong Shi was a little bored, turned his head to Ma Jiarui and said, "Hey, does Soros really have such a big influence?" Just touted South Korea, but may not really invest, investors are so buying? ”

Hearing the sour taste in Zhong Shi's words, Ma Jiarui smiled and stared at Zhong Shi with a strange expression for a long time, and then said leisurely: "Zhong Sheng, today's steak is good, you can taste it." ”

Giving him such a look, and now answering the question, Zhong Shi had to pick up the knife and fork fiercely, cut a large piece on the steak, and then stuffed it into his mouth, chewing hard while staring at Ma Jiarui viciously, the look in his eyes seemed to say: Hurry up and answer my question.

After looking at it with a smile for a long time, Ma Jiarui said in a good time: "Zhong Sheng, I don't know if investors will buy Soros's account. But if you're going to speak, some Hong Kong funds will definitely buy your account. ”

Last time, Zhong Shi made a group of Hong Kong consortiums make a lot of profits on the won through Andrew, and he didn't hide these things from Ma Jiarui. It's just that these people rarely know the way, behind Andrew is Zhong Shi, and Ma Jiarui naturally knows the way clearly. He is not wrong, if Zhong Shi wants to raise his arms and shout, at least in Hong Kong, his influence should be no less than Soros's.

After swallowing the steak with difficulty, Zhong Shi drank half a glass of red wine, which made him feel a lot more comfortable, and after hearing Ma Jiarui's words, he shook his head helplessly, "It's still the ancestor who said it well, and make a fortune in a muffled voice, this 'stuffy' word is exquisite." Since ancient times, merchants have been the most ...... in Shinong industrial and commercial businesses.

As he was talking, Zhong Shi suddenly felt quiet around him, and when he looked up, he saw that the people around him were looking up at the TV, listening to the news quietly. Zhong Shi was surprised in his heart, and he also turned his head to look at the screen, and saw a cage of poultry appear in the camera.

"The sudden outbreak of avian influenza was first detected in several poultry farms in the New Territories and Lantau Island, and the FEHD and the Department of Health have rushed to the scene of the incident to treat the infected poultry and carry out comprehensive disinfection. The FEHD reminds you to consume as little or best not to consume poultry such as chickens and ducks during this period. At the same time, the Department of Health said that in the event of an influenza outbreak, please be admitted to hospital for treatment as soon as possible, and disinfect your home at the same time. This station will continue to pay attention to relevant reports. ”

"Bird flu?" After hearing these words, Zhong Shi only felt a "bang" in his head, and he was a little overwhelmed. Soon, he felt a pang of irritation in his chest, and felt the urge to vomit, so he quickly tightened his mind, and it took him a long time to suppress this urge.

Originally, the employees of Tianyu Fund who stayed behind today came to the exclusive restaurant to eat after operating the Hong Kong stock futures index, and because they completed the task assigned by Zhong Shi, everyone was in a good mood, and they got together in twos and threes to eat and chat. But after hearing the news, everyone was not calm, and they lost the interest of continuing to eat, and one of the guys who ordered chicken salad was even more pale, and he was petrified on the spot.

Avian influenza, although it is said to be a flu, is different from the common cold, and this difference is shown in the fatality rate. Because these influenza viruses are infected from poultry, there are no good treatment drugs and means after the virus variants, so every outbreak of this flu has a death event, and even evolves into a large-scale death event.

Several large-scale epidemics in human history have been caused by highly infectious bacteria or viruses. And the most widespread and deadly is this inconspicuous influenza virus.

"We have received news that a six-year-old child infected with avian influenza who was just admitted to Renai Hospital today was declared dead at about 5 p.m., which is the first patient to pass away in this avian flu outbreak. Because his family did not send him to the hospital for treatment as soon as possible after the onset of his illness, the best time for treatment was delayed, which ultimately caused this misfortune. The Department of Health (DH) has raised the influenza risk level to red and urged local residents to seek medical treatment if they have cold symptoms, otherwise their lives may be in danger. ”

In the following news, we talked about some of the symptoms of the flu again, and at this time, everyone naturally listened attentively to the reports from the TV news, and did not talk about other nonsense, after all, these things are related to everyone's life.

Soon, the restaurant manager walked in, and as soon as he walked in, he said loudly: "Everyone, please rest assured, our ingredients here are all imported, and they can only be put on the table after passing customs quarantine." And your ingredients are all pasteurized, so there will never be any bird flu happens. ”

As this is the royal restaurant of the Tianyu Foundation, it is natural that it strives for excellence in the selection of ingredients and safety. After hearing the explanation of the French chef and manager, everyone was relieved, but they lost their appetite at this time, and after a little greeting, they left in twos and threes.

In this case, Zhong Shi naturally couldn't eat it, pushed the plate forward, and said with interest: "This bird flu outbreak is really timely, and I don't know what will happen to the Dao." Forget it, I'd better go home first. ”

Ma Jiarui, who was opposite him, nodded unconsciously, not knowing what Lu Dao was thinking.

Seeing that he looked depressed, Zhong Shi didn't say much, stood up and walked outside, and when he passed by the French chef, he patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Recently, I have been cooking more vegetarian food, I would rather have fewer customers, and I must definitely ensure the safety of the ingredients here." It seems that we are going to be monks for a while. ”

The chubby manager barely managed to squeeze out a smile, a smile that was uglier than crying.

……

News of the outbreak of avian influenza in Hong Kong quickly spread throughout the world, and some of the patients died as a result, putting pressure on the Hong Kong government. After convening an emergency meeting, the SAR Government decided to dispose of all live chickens on Hong Kong Island as soon as possible, and to prohibit the import of chickens, ducks and other live poultry from the mainland and overseas for a period of time to come.

The financial markets reacted quickly, and analysts have begun to rush overnight, concocting bearish analysis reports on travel companies and food companies, while suggesting to clients to buy stocks in industries such as health care and insurance.

Although the Hong Kong government dealt with it in a timely manner, rushed to work overnight, and culled all the live chickens and poultry in Hong Kong in the first time, there were dozens of cases of infection the next day, and there were deaths one after another, which made Hong Kong stocks plummet 596 points on this day, a drop of 5.89%, from 10,084 points to 9,538 points, and the Hang Seng Index fell below 10,000 points again.

To add insult to injury, on this day, the Hong Kong media revealed that the local brokerage Peregrine is likely to fall into a financial crisis, and even in serious cases, it is in danger of bankruptcy. Although Peregrine "refuted the rumors" in a timely manner, claiming that it had introduced strategic investors and soon submitted it to the shareholders' meeting for approval, this did not bring much confidence to investors.
