May 15th.

Outside Beijing, they protested to the British Chargé d'Affaires, spoke out for the New Territories incident, and mobilized the masses to demonstrate at the gate of the British Chargé d'Affaires. That night, more than 100 people rushed into the address of the British chargé d'affaires and pasted a big-character poster in the chargé d'affaires consular office, which read: "Support compatriots, oppose Britain and resist violence."

The hometown power officially debuted, giving a shot of strength to the citizens of the New Territories, who were badly damaged.

As a result, the riots in the New Territories developed into an international incident, and many parties suspected that there was a great power game behind the scenes. Through this incident, my hometown once again declared its determination to recover Hong Kong Island and support the courage of our compatriots. Newspapers and periodicals such as People's Daily, Ta Kung Pao, and Wen Wei Po published the news, and students from patriotic schools took to the streets to distribute newspapers to the public, and loudspeakers were installed on the roofs of the Central Headquarters of the National Bank to encourage publicity.

On 17 July, more than 300 members of the Central faction gathered and began to march to the Governor's Palace in Taiping Shan, posting big-character posters outside the Governor's Palace, demanding that the Governor respect the sovereignty of the people of the New Territories.

On the same night, an explosives throwing incident occurred at the Governor's Palace, resulting in the death of two public officials, and Hong Kong Island announced for the first time that a curfew between Kowloon and Hong Kong Island was jointly imposed on Hong Kong Island.

However, the Governor did not raise the emergency level, and remained on "alert" and used force sparingly.

Oriental Bank.

Sima Xiang, wearing a gray suit and glasses, stood in front of an electronic screen, and turned around and said: "Wharf's stock price plummeted, British capital fled, and it began to buy gradually. ”

"Buy Wharf."

Huang Shitong yelled fiercely.

More than 50 stockbrokers sat at their workstations, as if the robot had received instructions, picked up the phone, dialed out, and shouted: "Help me buy Wharf." ”

"All of them."

"Are there any Wharf stocks?"

"Ding, ding, ding."

"Someone just put up for sale 2,000 shares?"

in the office.

The phone was noisy, like a sales company, but in fact, the earliest appearance of the stock market was to buy vegetables in the vegetable market, noisy and shouting. When the "Hang Seng Index" is released, each securities company has a recognized "public price".

According to the rise and fall of the Hang Seng Index, Hong Kong stocks will fall and rise in a certain proportion, but individual companies have excellent business and strong market capitalization, and occasionally show a contrarian rise. Thousands of people gathered in the securities company, some people listed for sale, some people paid for it, and the scene was extremely lively.

At present, Hong Kong stocks have a certain standard, and the system of telephone trading can be adopted, but there are still people who receive news from the securities company and go to the counter to carry out the trading procedures. Don't look at the more than 50 people sitting in the Oriental Bank, and there are more than 60 people in the securities company who are helping.

"Buy 5,000 shares."

"Buy 30,000 shares."

"There is just an Italian seller listed 20,000 shares!"

A salesman shouted.

"Take it all!"

Sima Xiang waved his hand.

Chen Zhan's expression was nervous, and he stepped forward to persuade: "Brother Xiang, you are too eager to collect it and be careful to hit the bottom, do you want to slow down?" ”

"The big boss took out 500 million cash in one bite, and it was just an appetizer to receive a Wharf, and it was grinding and chirping to eat appetizers, how could he have an appetite to eat big dishes?" Sima Xiang is not tall, but he is extremely courageous in the financial market, and said decisively: "Buy!" ”

Chen Zhan was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and for the first time he traded hundreds of millions of cash, he was inevitably a little weak in his heart, for fear that he would lose money and slaughter the big boss, but in the face of Brother Xiang's decision, he still turned around and said to the stunned salesman: "Buy!" ”

"Buy!" The salesman yelled into the phone: "As long as it is the stock of Wharf, don't let go of a single share!" ”

Huang Shitong lowered his head and lit a cigarette in the fiery atmosphere, his trembling fingers could not hide his excitement, and he stepped forward and said: "There are not many loose shares in Wharf, and the dock warehousing business is an iron rice bowl."

Sima Xiang nodded: "How much you collect, even if someone maliciously smashes the plate, the big boss will not blame." Anyway, the ups and downs are controlled by the big bosses, and we are just responsible for buying and selling. ”

The more top-level financial warfare, the more politically influenced, and the more clever the trader, the less data analysis is needed. High-end business wars are often unpretentious, and British capital is harvested, and Chinese capital will not be soft.

Since the outbreak of the June 7 incident in the first month, the market economy on Hong Kong Island has been declining, and the financial industry has been sluggish.

The Hang Seng Index fell for seven consecutive trading days, and the Chinese bosses had long been gearing up and eager to try, and the British tried to hold out for a few days in the hope that the Hong Kong government could quickly resolve the incident, but the Hong Kong government solved it militarily but not politically.

With the official voice of the north, the exodus of foreign capital finally broke out, first of all, the first to flee were the shareholders of Italy, Canada, Europe and the United States. They hold a lot of British-owned foreign stocks, but they don't live on Hong Kong Island, and their information about Hong Kong Island comes only from international news.

Fearing that the dispute on Hong Kong Island would escalate and ignite the flames of war, the company's assets would be burned and a large amount of meat would be cut. You must know that war is unpredictable, and once it starts, hundreds of millions of assets will be wiped out.

On the rebuilt Hong Kong Island, the economic market will never be dominated by British capital, and coupled with the north's always strong policy, no foreign boss dares to gamble. There is a saying that "surrender and lose half", between losing half and losing all, they know how to choose.

A few people dare to bet that Hong Kong Island will not go to war and follow up on the bottom, that is because the amount of funds is small, and with the mentality of fighting a hand, it still cannot affect the market. Big assets never gamble, they tend to be safe.

And foreign capital began to flee, which caused panic and fell, and British capital couldn't help it, and began to cut meat one by one.

The property market has already plummeted by a third.

Sima Xiang set several goals: "The first is to acquire the shares of Wharf retail investors to win the dock warehousing business for the big boss, the second is to buy the Star Ferry Company to help the big boss monopolize the Hong Kong Island ferry market, the third is to acquire Swire & Co. Cathay Pacific Airways, and the fourth is to acquire the supermarket business of Jardine Matheson." ”

Among them, the sweeping of Wharf's individual shares can lay the foundation for the future acquisition of Wharf. Needless to say, the acquisition of Cathay Pacific Airways is Sima Xiang's personal optimism about the aviation business. In addition, Swire & Co. only won the Coca-Cola franchise last year, and has just invested in the construction of a Gigafactory in Asia, and its cash flow is insufficient, which is a good opportunity to hit hard. Jardine Matheson's Wellcome Supermarket is currently the largest snack market on Hong Kong Island, with a cash revenue of more than $50 million a year.

If these four businesses can be won with a scale of 300 million, the remaining 200 million can also acquire some "favorable" stocks to prepare for the right to print money in the future. If you have enough money to spend, you can also buy some real estate projects when the property market bottoms out.

This plan is completely nodged by the big boss, and as for who other Chinese-funded companies want to attack, it is the business of other companies. After all, the bosses of the Chamber of Commerce promised to pay for the British capital, which does not mean that they will hand over all the money to the Oriental Bank for trading.

The Oriental Bank is just a chess player who blows the horn, and each boss has its own direction, but the Chinese bosses are very united, and once a Chinese buys a British-funded company, the rest of the Chinese will not enter the market to raise the price.

There is meat everywhere, enough for the Chinese-funded bosses to eat all-you-can-eat!

HSBC, Standard Chartered, Lee, Swire, Wheelock and other foreign companies wanted to make an appointment with the Governor, asking the Governor to calm down the situation as soon as possible and reduce the losses of British capital. They fully foresaw the plan for the Chinese to take advantage of the opportunity to fight back and acquire, but the flight of capital was not under personal control. Even if the four major foreign banks are united, they can barely control the decline of their own companies at most.

The governor, who has always been concerned about the economy, is no longer able to manage the capital market in the midst of a state of anxiety.

Twenty days.

The Governor agreed to set up a "New Territories District", which is on the same level as Hong Kong Island and Kowloon, and selected members of the New Territories to decide on New Territories affairs, and awarded the Medal of Justice of the Peace to Luk Hon Ming, Szeto Ying and others, which is equivalent to agreeing to the New Territories to enter the semi-autonomous mode.

He did not agree with the "Ding Quan" clause proposed by Lu Hanming, and insisted on not wanting to give up his land rights and interests in the New Territories. After all, as long as the Hong Kong government nominally governs the New Territories, it has always been indifferent to the internal autonomy of the New Territories, but the Hong Kong government needs the coastline around Tsuen Wan to revitalize the economy.

The negotiations between the two sides broke up unhappily, but in fact, Yang Guang had no intention of negotiating peace with the Hong Kong government. Because for him, the interests of the Hong Kong government and the New Territories are not important, what is important is to make the momentum bigger, seize political autonomy, and ask the boss for credit.

The Governor saw that the villagers in the New Territories were strong on the outside and on the inside, and judged that the villagers in the New Territories would not be able to support it for long, and decided to put pressure on the New Territories again. After all, the economic foundation of smallholder farmers in the New Territories is weak, and the farmland will be overgrown with weeds if it is not cultivated for a week. The longer the incident drags on, the more beneficial it will be to the Hong Kong government. The people of the New Territories have relief food to eat this month, but they will not have it next year.

Twenty-one.

Due to the shortage of manpower in the anti-explosive emergency response unit, many police officers have been working overtime for more than a week, and many can only sleep two or three hours a day. As a result, the Hong Kong government had to order the Hong Kong Island District Crime Unit to be responsible for dispersing citizens.

Bai Liji probably felt that the matter was coming to an end, and he would pay a lot of price for using a Chinese police officer, at most, to award medals and be promoted to the next level. Unexpectedly, as soon as the order was issued to the Police Department, the Commissioner of Police personally rushed to the Governor's Palace, handed over a stack of documents, and said bitterly: "Sir, Assistant Commissioner of Hong Kong Island Ho Ting-yin, Superintendent Yan Xiong of the Operations Department, Chief Inspector Chan Tsz-chiu of the Serious Crime Unit, Lei Luo of the Kowloon District Crime Unit. A total of 56 Chinese police officers at or above the inspector level submitted leave applications, saying that they were sick and could not perform their duties. ”

The incident of the senior and middle commanders of the Force taking leave en masse is unprecedented, and it can be called a political storm.

Bai Liji's heart suddenly sudden, and he swept a stack of leave slips to the ground, which he couldn't accept at all, and shouted: "Let them go to work immediately, and lead the troops to Central to disperse the assembly citizens, otherwise don't come again!" ”
