According to reports, this story begins at an entirely unscientific moment: Zhou Ziye, a designer who rose from creating counterfeit mobile phones, suddenly time-traveled back to the year 1984.
...They even reached agreements with stock brokerage firms to leverage their investments without fear.
With the orders from last year's Canton Fair, Xing Baohua felt that as long as he held on until early May, he could secure orders worth billions of US dollars.
Take half of it and bury it in the stock market. When it surges, keep chasing it, and by August next year, you must clear out all your holdings.
Xing Baohua didn't want to chase the high point, fearing she wouldn't be able to get out.
Citibank gave Xing Baohua a credit line of 300 million yuan to use at will.
Damn it, what can you do with so little?
Three billion is more like it.
Their assessment was based on Xing Baohua's performance at the Hong Kong company. If it weren't for the support and business generated by the two subsidiaries, Hainan Holdings and Hainan Entertainment, Xing Baohua's name would only be worth 100 million.
They allocated 300 million yuan to invest in the stock market.
The next day, Andy Lau arrived as promised. He was as polite as ever to Xing Baohua.
This guy played a Backstreet Boys song for Andy Lau called "Show Me the Meaning".
It's a classic song, and even now, when Xing Baohua hears it, it brings back a flood of memories.
Andy Lau's English isn't good; he needs tutoring.
The vibrato is still quite severe and needs to be straightened out to reduce it.
Okay! If he straightened out his vibrato, he wouldn't be the same Andy Lau. He became famous precisely because of his unique vibrato.
Is it still Andy Lau if he's lost his original charm?
The problem is that this song has added vibrato and nasal sounds, which makes it not very pleasant to listen to. If my brother were to sing it, it would be alright.
Andy Lau still needs some time to develop his skills. But that's alright, there's still time, and plenty of music experts can train him.
Xing Baohua is busy at the company during the day, and at night she and Teacher Li work at the villa to get an English version of Andy Lau's album.
Xing Baohua was fine when he was young, but he was a bit of a burden to Old Man Li.
For the sake of the money, Teacher Li gritted her teeth and endured it.
Xing Baohua couldn't understand why Old Man Li was so greedy, still working so hard at his age. He had plenty of houses and a wife; did he really want to make money to have affairs on the side?
Even someone as wealthy as Xing Baohua wouldn't dare to have affairs. While she might consider it, reality is harsh; the back pain would be unbearable.
Andy Lau and Zou Wenjuan have entered their training period and will be very busy for the next month or so.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xing Baohua went with relevant personnel to apply for a business visa.
Processing it from Hong Kong is quite fast.
The visa interview process was quick, the only annoying thing was that the interviewer would routinely ask you if you planned to settle in the United States.
Of course not.
He said no, but what he really wanted to say was, "I'd rather die than settle down there."
Yu Shenghai helped Xing Baohua set up a finance department in a week. He even poached five traders with high salaries.
Each trader has two telephones on their desk. These connect directly to the trading floor.
The money and the people are in place.
In short, if a stock looks good, buy it.
Today's goal is to spend ten million US dollars.
The entire company has never seen anyone trade stocks like this before. Most people in Hong Kong have some financial knowledge, and many company employees even dabble in stocks and futures.
Xing Baohua allowed the financial sector to buy things at will; did he have money to burn?
The following day, the stock market fluctuated, and by the afternoon, the entire market had fallen by 17%, but all the stocks that Xing Baohua had bought were in the green.
In Hong Kong, the colors are the opposite of what we see here: green indicates an increase, and red indicates a decrease.
Many company employees shook their heads at the sight.
That's not how you play.
Who knew, they continued today and bought another ten million US dollars worth of shares.
I buy any order that's listed, and they're snapped up instantly.
Xing Baohua announced that company employees who wanted to work with the company's finance department could join.
If the investment is less than one million, he can take responsibility for any losses.
Several days after I said that, half of them didn't follow up.
The first person in the entire company to follow suit was Xing Baohua's temporary secretary, to everyone's surprise.
Not much, 10,000 H coins.
Subsequently, Yu Shenghai and some other senior executives followed suit. Employees followed one after another, but the pay wasn't much. Some continued to wait and see.
On the third day, it fell again.
They smiled knowingly, while those who had only invested a small amount were crestfallen.
The Financial Services Department has allocated $20 million this time.
The company has experienced investors who understand this; it's a strategy of buying on dips, using a tiered approach. The lower the price, the greater the potential return. They're just waiting for a rebound to recover all the losses.
But to play this game, you must know one thing: where the support level is and whether you have enough funds to continue doubling down.
If we can't figure out the bottom line, all our investments will be trapped.
The Hong Kong stock market does not have daily price limits (up or down).
