Zhang Zhonghua took Ren Guibin and Lou Xiao'e to walk towards the Yanxia people on Queen's Road, and the distance was not far anyway, so he didn't drive.

As the first Yanxia stock exchange, it can be said that it is of great significance. As the richest man in Yanxia, if Zhang Zhonghua didn't return on Hong Kong Island, since he had returned to Hong Kong Island, he would have to help out.

Lou Xiao'e suddenly said to Zhang Zhonghua: "Ah Hua, you see that the charter boat king is there." ”

Zhang Zhonghua looked in the direction pointed by Lou Xiao'e, and sure enough, the charter boat king with his wife and bodyguards had just left Wheelock Building, there was no way, Central was such a big place, and the goals were the same, it was too normal to be able to meet.

"Hello Bao Sheng, hello Mrs. Bao."

Zhang Zhonghua also walked quickly to the charter king, and greeted the charter king as he walked.

Several bodyguards accompanying him were closely following Zhang Zhonghua to prevent accidents at any time.

"Zhang Sheng, are you back? You've been abroad for a long time, when did you come back? ”

"I also came back yesterday, and I helped the Ministry of Defense of Chouguo and several universities solve some computer problems, and then I went to Haolaiwu to play for a few days, so I stayed for so long."

Zhang Zhonghua said with a smile.

"Amazing, Zhang Sheng is now cooperating with the Ministry of Defense of the Ugly Country."

The charter king praised Zhang Zhonghua with a little surprise.

"Not counting cooperation with the Ministry of Defense, it's just that a computer network they have built is not very compatible with the system and database software, and it needs to be modified, so it's not a big deal. However, the ugly country has made a very interesting network, and it is estimated that we will be able to use it in more than ten years. ”

Zhang Zhonghua said a bunch of things that the charter king didn't understand, what networks and what were compatible, which made the charter king confused, but the charter king didn't show it.

Zhang Zhonghua chatted with the charter boat king for five or six minutes before arriving at the Chinese Tour, while Li Zhaofu was already downstairs waiting to greet the two, and under the leadership of Li Zhaofu, the group entered the cocktail party upstairs.

At this time, many elders also arrived in advance, and many Hong Kong Island tycoons were followed by young versions of future tycoons, Zhang Zhonghua didn't know much about them, but he felt a little familiar.

"Zhang Sheng, this is Huo Sheng of Lixin Real Estate, and this is He Sheng of Macau Entertainment."

The charter king led Zhang Zhonghua to Fok Yingdong and Ho Hongshen and introduced him to a patriotic businessman and a Macau gambling king.

Now the relationship between the two is in the honeymoon phase, but the honeymoon phase has come to an end and will end soon.

Zhang Zhonghua still knows a little about the grievances between the two when he watched the gossip of the elders on Hong Kong Island.

In 1955, Fok Yingdong pioneered the use of "selling off-the-plan" to sell houses, and Fong's Real Estate became famous on Hong Kong Island, which also made Fok Yingdong make a lot of money.

However, just as he was gaining fame, he was slandered by his peers and British capital, and news began to spread about transporting supplies to the mainland during the Korean War.

This caused his real estate sales business to plummet, and Fok Yingdong had to turn to industry again and start shipping business.

Fok Yingdong set up Yourong Shipping Company, purchased nearly 100 ships of all sizes, and quickly monopolized the export rights of Huaxia Haisha.

In 1961, the old gambling king Fu Laorong of Macau died, and the Macau government took back the right to operate the casino of the Fu Laorong family and reissued the license by way of bidding.

Ye Han dragged He Hong into the bureau, but he suffered from no financial support, so he wanted to cooperate with Huo Yingdong to win the cake. Fok Yingdong didn't want to get involved in the casino business, but after thinking about it, if the casino profits can be used for the construction of Macau, it will be profitable and a good thing.

The two hit it off, quickly finalized the details, opened a casino, and then used the casino profits to build a dock, build a hotel, and clean up the river.

After 1970, the two tycoons began to have conflicts, and then the equity battle of the casino also worsened, and Ho Hongshen and the other three shareholders Ye Han, Ye Deli and Fok Yingdong all had conflicts.

And since Zheng Yutong joined, Huo Yingdong began to sit on pins and needles, being marginalized like Ye Han, and then the contradiction between the two began to escalate.

"Huo Sheng is good, He Sheng is good."

Zhang Zhonghua greeted the two tycoons very politely, Ho Hongshen is a branch of the Ho Tung family on Hong Kong Island, not to mention Fok Yingdong, who monopolizes the sand and gravel business on Hong Kong Island.

These wealthy families on Hong Kong Island are deep-rooted, and Zhang Zhonghua, who is not shallow-rooted, can afford to offend, although Zhang Zhonghua is the richest man in Yanxia, but these land-sitting households feel that there is a way to make her very uncomfortable on Hong Kong Island.

"Zhang Sheng, you are also young and promising, you have won glory for our Yanxia people, not bad, very good."

A few elders for the young

After greeting a few people, the charter boat king then introduced Zhang Zhonghua to the people of the He Dong family, Li Peicai family, and Luo Wenjin family, and Zhang Zhonghua also officially met some members of the four major families.

Subsequently, under the leadership of the charter king, he also got to know the Chinese-funded tycoons of Hong Kong Island, Kwok Tak-sheng, Fung King-hei, and Lee Zhao-ki of Sun Hung Kai, Kim Tai Fook and Zheng Yutong of New World, Li Chaoren of Cheung Kong Industrial, Chen Zengxi of Hang Lung Properties, Hu Yinxiang of Hopewell Holdings, Shao Liushu of Shaw Brothers and TVB, and Qiu Degen of Far Eastern Group.

Today's cocktail party can be said to have basically all the heads and faces on Hong Kong Island, and it can be regarded as a grand event for Chinese investors on Hong Kong Island.

"Zhang Sheng, do you have any ideas?"

The charter boat king said to Zhang Zhonghua with a smile.

"The Chinese-funded tycoons who are here today should all be listed soon; The situation of Chinese and British capital will gradually reverse; There is still a stock market crash in ten years. ”

】

Zhang Zhonghua said in a low voice.

His words made the charter king stunned, and then he was directly amused, but if there are more Chinese-funded listed companies in the future, it will still be able to speculate on stocks and become a stock market crash.

A few years ago, it was because of the stock market crash caused by real estate, and now all the tycoons have entered the real estate industry, manufacturing and other industries have been frustrated, and the stock market of the ugly country is now about to halve.

"Haha, it's still low-key today, don't say anything about smashing the scene."

The charter king smiled and patted Zhang Zhonghua's shoulder, and then whispered to him.

"Bao Sheng, don't worry, I understand, I don't dare to tell others this."

Zhang Zhonghua also whispered to the charter boat king.

"Bao Shenghao, Ah Hua, when did you come?"

"Hello Dong Sheng, not long after I came, I happened to meet Bao Sheng on the road, and Sister Xiao'e was over there."

Lou Zhenhua and Dong Chuanwang walked together to Zhang Zhonghua and the charter king, although the Lou group is not as good as the four major families on Hong Kong Island, but it is also strong, and naturally it is also invited.

The tycoons looked at the two with envy, the two tycoons were uncles and nephews, everyone was shaving on Hong Kong Island, and the industries of the Jade Emperor Group and the Lou Group under the names of the two uncles and nephews were about to spread all over the world, and there was really no harm if there was no comparison.

It didn't take long for all the invited tycoons to arrive, and Li Zhaofu walked onto the temporary stage to give an opening speech, and everyone quieted down.

"Previously, the number of listed companies on Hong Kong Island had remained at about 65, but the number of factories on Hong Kong Island has risen from 3,000 in 1947 to nearly 13,000.

As for the import and export value, it has climbed from $1.2 billion in 1947 to nearly $10 billion, but the number of listed companies on Hong Kong Island obviously does not reflect the growth of Hong Kong Island's overall economic strength.

At the end of last month, the Hong Kong Island stock market had a sensational day, with a half-day trading volume of $26 million and an astronomical full-day turnover of $41.6 million, which was the latest record since the Hong Kong Island stock exchange was established.

There are a number of reasons why the stock market is so frenetic: the situation on Hong Kong Island is stable, and people from all walks of life recognize that stocks are a safe investment;

There is too much money in Southeast Asia, and external funds are still pouring in to join the stock market activities;

Hong Kong Island has abundant local travel funds, and banks have experienced excessive flooding deposits;

The outlook for Hong Kong Island's economic development is optimistic;

There is too little supply of Hong Kong Island stocks.

The Far Eastern Stock Exchange, in addition to breaking with the tradition that securities trading and corporate fundraising had to be conducted through the 'Island Club', has also proposed many innovative measures, such as trading in Cantonese and allowing many market players to go out of the market.

The Far Eastern Club has opened a new era for the development of Hong Kong Island's financial and securities industry. I announce that the first Yanxia People's Stock Exchange, the Far Eastern Association, was officially established and opened. ”

Zhang Zhonghua also applauded warmly with everyone in the audience, regardless of everyone's opposition or approval, the Far Eastern Association has also been established, but unfortunately Zhang Zhonghua was regarded as a target again.

Zhang Sheng, the chairman of the Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange, opposes the establishment of a new exchange, believing that the current Hong Kong Island Stock Exchange is running very well and smoothly, and there is no need for the market to set up another exchange. Zhang Sheng, what do you think about this? ”

A newspaper reporter asked Zhang Zhonghua.

"I still agree with what Li Sheng said just now, for decades, the number of listed companies on Hong Kong Island has been maintained at about 65, and it is difficult for many companies to go public, which I think is unreasonable."

Although Zhang Zhonghua showed a pleasant face to this reporter, he thought in his heart that he would slap this reporter to death, isn't this going to set me on fire and roast me, and Hong Kong Island will not object to it.

Moreover, the brokerage license of securities is not cheap, and those securities brokerage companies on Hong Kong Island not only have to buy brokerage licenses and pay deposits, but also continue to recruit a lot of talents to operate.

"Mr. Zhang, what are your expectations for the securities trading market on Hong Kong Island?"

Seeing that someone was smashing the field, the reporter of the Jade Emperor Daily hurriedly took over the topic of the boss, but these British-funded newspaper reporters could not continue to ask questions, otherwise everyone would not be able to get off the stage.

"In recent years, the economy of Hong Kong Island has come out of the haze, and the discovery is very fast, and the economic prosperity will inevitably bring vigorous vitality to the stock market, and I deeply hope that the stock market will develop healthily."

After Zhang Zhonghua said these few words, he left the reporters, he just came to join in the fun, but he couldn't steal the limelight of Li Zhaofu, and he would be hated if he was noisy.

I agree that what is the use of setting up a stock exchange, the interests are moving, taking people's money is like killing parents, and it is useless not to agree.

When each new stock is listed for trading, the stock price will often rise by three or four percent compared with its original issue price, which also attracts all the melon-eating people to join the rush to buy, and the stock price has risen sharply and the transaction number has also hit records.

Hong Kong Island's economy is growing rapidly, which has led to inflation, and if you put your savings in the bank, the bank's meager deposit interest will obviously not be able to offset the loss caused by inflation.

Many smart investors have entered the stock market, and with newspaper reports, the hot stock market has also attracted all the people who eat melons.

Hong Kong Island has always given a good impression to overseas people in the hot summer, and it also has an important geographical location that connects inside and outside and connects east and west.

The people of Southeast Asian countries such as Singapore, Indonesia, Luzon, Annam and other places are also very optimistic about the economy of Hong Kong Island.

Therefore, a large number of overseas funds from Southeast Asia have also flocked to Hong Kong Island to seek a better way out, which is also an important reason for the rapid development of Hong Kong Island's stock market.

In the early 70s, the situation in Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and other countries was also not stable, and political or economic crises occurred one after another, and a large amount of money fled to Hong Kong Island to either enter the stock market or enter the real estate industry.

All kinds of reasons have contributed to the explosion of the Hong Kong Island stock market, and citizens do not go to work to speculate in stocks full-time, even the Hong Kong government is powerless, and the pit in the stock market seems to be too big.

"Zhang Sheng, in the future, the Far Eastern Association will also need the Jade Emperor Bank to take care of it, and your Jade Emperor Index is very important."

Li Zhaofu said with a smile.

"Where, the release of the Jade Emperor Index still needs the joint efforts of everyone, and the launch of the Jade Emperor Index is also to facilitate everyone and provide convenience for everyone."

Zhang Zhonghua said politely.

"Jade Emperor Bank has established a banking network on Hong Kong Island, so that Hong Kong Island citizens can easily deposit and withdraw money, and I am very impressed by the computer system.

I just don't know if it will be difficult for the Far Eastern Group to establish a stock trading system, and how much investment will be required? ”

Li Zhaofu remembered that Zhang Zhonghua developed the five-stroke input method very admired, directly solved a lot of unattainable problems, banks and exchanges can also use advanced computer technology, and then said their demands to Zhang Zhonghua.

"It's not too difficult, to be honest, the stock trading system is not too complicated, but if the Far Eastern Group is going to put it into use, it still needs a lot of changes.

To establish a server room, the exchange also needs to configure a lot of computers and wiring and a series of things.

In terms of software, it is estimated that it will cost at least $300,000, the hardware is more than $200,000 for a medium-sized computer, and a personal computer is more than $10,000, and it will cost about $700,000 overall. ”

Li Zhaofu could only give up temporarily when he heard Zhang Zhonghua's words, and he could accept this investment, but it seems that it will take a long time to train computer talents, and as for recruiting people in the UK, he can consider it.

However, the biggest difficulty is that the brokerage companies on Hong Kong Island are not necessarily willing to spend money on expensive computers, which are of little use for the time being.
