Chapter 391
"Headlines, headlines! Jade Emperor Securities, a subsidiary of the Jade Emperor Group, has tailored a stock market index for the stock exchange on Hong Kong Island to guide the direction of the stock market."
The newsstand owner handed the newspaper to the customer in front of him, and then picked up another newspaper, the Jade Emperor Daily, and read it carefully.
He is still used to reading vertical newspapers, and now the Jade Emperor Daily uses horizontal versions, which makes him look a little awkward, but the speed of reading newspapers is indeed faster than before.
"I said boss, how is this newspaper different from other newspapers, why is it horizontal?"
After taking the Jade Emperor's customer glanced at the newspaper, he asked like the newsstand owner.
"Not to mention how the Jade Emperor Group is very technological, horizontal printing is a lot more troublesome than vertical printing, but horizontal newspapers are indeed quite novel, although they are still a little unaccustomed to it, but horizontal newspapers are faster to read than vertical newspapers."
The newsstand owner touched his chin and said how he felt.

Central, HORT convenience store.
"Waiter, I want kelp, eggs, ......."
A customer walked into the convenience store and the clerk said loudly.
"Okay, please wait. By the way, the Jade Emperor Daily has been published for the first time today, and if you need it, you can pick it up at the tabloid shelf under the cash register for two cents a copy."
The waiter had a standard smile on his face, and while handing the things to the customer, he was selling him the Jade Emperor Daily, which was a task arranged by his superiors.
The customer took the food handed by the waiter, went to the cashier to line up to pay the bill, took a newspaper and read it.
At first glance, he saw the headlines on the front page, and the content of the headlines made him happy, the stock market on Hong Kong Island finally has its own index, and it is much more convenient to speculate on stocks in the future.
And it's a lot more convenient to buy newspapers in the future, so I bought it when I bought breakfast, but at present, the convenience store newspaper only has one copy of the Jade Emperor Daily, which is not very good.
If you want to read Ming Pao, Wen Wei Po, *** and so on, you still have to go to the newsstand to buy them, and it would be nice if the HORT convenience store could also sell these newspapers.
"Waiter, come and give me 20 copies of the Jade Emperor Daily first, if we want to order a newspaper, how can we contact us?"
[The problem of slow update of new chapters is in the can.]
The result was that Assistant Hu Xian saw the just-issued "Jade Emperor Daily" on his desk early in the morning.
The moment he saw the "Jade Emperor Daily", his heart tightened, and then he had only one thought: This is a big incident, and the Jade Emperor Daily has finally been published.
"Boss, today the Jade Emperor Daily is on the market, and it is sold simultaneously at newsstands all over Hong Kong Island, as well as convenience stores and restaurants under the Jade Emperor Group.
Not only do they have strong channels, but they also have strong access to news, not only local news on Hong Kong Island, but also Asian news and international news. The two parts published in the plate are also Gu Long and Zhang Sheng.
The financial sector has directly launched the Jade Emperor Index, which is a standard index tailored for the Hong Kong Island stock market."
The assistant walked into Hu Xian's office and told a series of messages like a machine gun in front of Hu Xian.
Hearing the news brought by the assistant, Hu Xian frowned directly: "We can't compare with the Jade Emperor Daily backed by the Jade Emperor Group, their information channels are all over the world's major countries, and the branches of the Jade Emperor Group in other countries are their information channels.
And the financial sector of the Jade Emperor Index is quite interesting, the Jade Emperor Group's finance department and legal department are quite strong, and Jade Emperor Securities also has a lot of economists to join, it is not strange to be able to launch an index, but I don't know whether this index is reasonable or not, and what is the difference between the index and the index used internally by Hang Seng."
"Boss, the Jade Emperor Index is reasonable or not has little to do with us, now that the Jade Emperor Daily is officially launched, our newspaper will be the biggest hit compared to other newspapers, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the Jade Emperor Daily will enter the Southeast Asian market, which will further squeeze our newspaper market.
They have branches in various countries, and they have easier access to the market than they do on Hong Kong Island, and HORT convenience stores and restaurants are already all over the city, and they will soon surpass ours."
"Alas! yes, I've got to think of a countermeasure!"

……
Headquarters of Hang Seng Bank.
Li Guowei looked at the Jade Emperor Daily sent by the staff, and looked at the eye-catching headline of the Jade Emperor Index on the front page, and he was a little difficult to accept.
After all, Hang Seng Bank has been using the Hang Seng Index for two years, and it was originally intended to be announced to the public, but it has been delayed until now due to internal disagreements.
I didn't expect to be the first to launch the Jade Emperor Index by the three branches of Jade Emperor Group's Jade Emperor Bank, Jade Emperor Securities and Jade Emperor Daily, and now it is too late to launch it.
….
After all, the Jade Emperor Group has launched the Jade Emperor Index, and if Hang Seng Bank launches the Hang Seng Index again, it will be fighting with the Jade Emperor Group, after all, Hong Kong Island is so big that it can't accommodate two indexes.
And......
Li Guowei looked at the principle and calculation method of the Jade Emperor Index in the newspaper, and he also sighed secretly, it can't be said to be similar to the Hang Seng Index, and it is almost the same.
According to the stock market, yesterday's Hang Seng Index calculated 129 points, while the Jade Emperor Index calculated 130 points.
Later, Li Guowei looked at the 30 listed company stocks selected by Jade Emperor Bank, which were the same as the 28 constituent stocks selected by Hang Seng Bank, and the companies selected were basically the same.
Li Guowei shook his head helplessly, he got up with the Jade Emperor Daily and came to the office of the general manager He Shanheng.
And He Shanheng also looked at the Jade Emperor Daily, studying the Jade Emperor Index, and also calculated the Jade Emperor Index launched by the Jade Emperor Group on scratch paper.
He understands that Hang Seng Bank really missed the opportunity this time, and what a good advertising effect is so wasted, if it weren't for internal disagreements, the Hang Seng Index would have been launched last year.
"Ugh...... I know about the Jade Emperor Index, I calculated it, and the Jade Emperor Index is more accurate than our Hang Seng Index.
Moreover, the four indexes are more in line with the current situation on Hong Kong Island. It is also more reasonable for them to classify the transportation industry as industrial and commercial, after all, Hong Kong Island is still relatively backward, and there are no powerful transportation companies such as Chouguo, Dongying, and the United Kingdom."
He Shanheng heard a few people, and when he looked up, he saw Li Guowei and what he was holding
The Jade Emperor Daily, understanding why he came, sighed deeply and said.
"And the Jade Emperor Bank has risen too fast and too strong, and our Hang Seng Bank can't compare with it now."
Li Guowei smiled bitterly.
"Don't talk about our Hang Seng Bank, if Jade Emperor Bank continues to expand the number of their branches in the Hong Kong Island area, even HSBC and HSBC together can't compete with Jade Emperor Bank, we are no longer in the same order of magnitude."
He Shanheng said with a sad face.
"Let's not compete with HSBC and the Jade Emperor? HSBC is the largest note-issuing bank on Hong Kong Island, and the UK and Hong Kong governments will not allow other banks to shake HSBC's position."
Li Guowei said in surprise when he heard this.
"Jade Emperor Bank has opened 18 branches on Hong Kong Island, why do you think Jade Emperor Bank has opened 18 branches now? Or is it mainly for high-end customers?
If they really opened 80 banks, most of the banks would have failed, but only 18 of them were opened in consideration of the attitude of the British Hong Kong government.
If that's the case, it will not be very difficult for us in Hang Seng Bank to absorb deposits, and in a few years, Jade Emperor Bank's international business will far surpass that of HSBC."
"Also, the Jade Emperor Bank may have more foreign exchange reserves than HSBC and the Hong Kong government combined, and HSBC has been transferring foreign exchange to the UK, and the HKMA is almost nothing."
"There is no way to do it, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the pound, and the depreciation of the pound leads to the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar. The foreign exchange reserves in the hands of the Jade Emperor Bank will certainly not be transferred to Hong Kong Island, and even if the Jade Emperor Bank is to transfer foreign exchange to Hong Kong Island, the Dongying government will not allow a large loss of foreign exchange, which will lead to the strength of the Jade Emperor Bank on the outside and weakness on the inside, and of course it is also a show of weakness by the Jade Emperor Bank to the Hong Kong government and the British government."
….
"Yes, and it won't be long before our position as the so-called No. 1 Chinese-funded bank will be given up in the future, and now our international remittance business will have to go through HSBC's channels for transfers, and Jade Emperor Bank can basically circulate in most countries, which can't be compared."
"Guowei, from today onwards, we will also start using the Jade Emperor Index, our financial personnel are several orders of magnitude worse than the Jade Emperor Group in terms of ability and quantity, and their index is more accurate."
……
Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange.
"Boss, the Jade Emperor Group launched the Hong Kong Island stock market index, the Jade Emperor Index, and our analysts studied it, and the results were very good and reasonable."
"Hahaha, the Hong Kong Island stock market finally has an index, and it will be much easier to analyze and speculate on stocks in the future.
It is not surprising that those involved know that Hang Seng Bank has the Hang Seng Index, but it is difficult for them to obtain the latest data.
……
The listed companies on Hong Kong Island that have been selected by the Jade Emperor Group as a constituent stock of the Jade Emperor Index are excited. The bosses of these companies are even more happy, and they have become the reference object of the stock market and provide a guide for shareholders, which is not only cool, but also good for the company's market value.
The Jade Emperor Index launched by Jade Emperor Group caused a huge sensation among Hong Kong Island stockholders, which also ended the history of no standard index on Hong Kong Island and marked the beginning of a new era for the Hong Kong Island stock market.
Ah Qiang looked at the Jade Emperor Daily in his hand, his mouth was full of surprise, and he sighed that the news with the Jade Emperor Daily was too powerful and too fast.
"Isn't the president of Gaul Charles de Gaulle? When will the president change?"
Cuong said to the workers beside him.
"Charles de Gaulle? Who's that?"
The worker glanced at Cuong and asked rhetorically.
The worker's rhetorical question almost choked Ah Qiang to death, and he was really special.
"Has the country of Gaul changed its president? Who will succeed de Gaulle?"
A passenger next to Cuong asked.
Seeing that the passengers next to him could understand his words, Cuong immediately became interested and said happily: "Speaking of what Pompidou is called, there is also an introduction from Pompidou, saying that he took de Gaulle last year and then took over
of the president."
"What is this Pompidou for, so powerful!"
Another passenger asked.
"Georges Pompidou, born on July 5, 1911 in Gaul to a family of primary school teachers, was an intellectual excellence from an early age, outstanding among his peers......
Cuong began to read the newspaper introduction to Pompidou.
"Is the news so fast now?"
The passenger asked curiously.
"What***, this is reported by the Jade Emperor Daily, and today is the first issue."
Cuong showed the name of the Jade Emperor Daily in the newspaper.
"The Jade Emperor Group? It's no wonder that Jade Emperor's restaurants have branches in most European countries, and it's normal for the news to be fast."
……
"Ah Ming, look, the Jade Emperor Daily said that there was a shooting in San Francisco yesterday, and someone pulled out a gun on the street and shot it, directly causing 4 dead and 5 injured."
"Damn, Ah Feng won't. You must know that the ugly country is the most developed country in the world, how could such a thing happen?"
Ah Ming asked Ah Feng in surprise.
"It's true that you say that the ugly country is the most developed country, but it is definitely not the safest country in the world."
Ah Feng glanced at his friend and said.
"Why isn't it the safest country, and isn't it normal to shoot people, this kind of thing can happen anywhere, and it's not like the community on Hong Kong Island hasn't shot and killed people."
