Rebirth: Let's Talk About 1984

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.

Chapter 238 Becoming a Shareholder Through Stock Trading

I recently spent another 100 million on stocks.

This money was spent too easily.

Instruct the financial sector to buy slowly or not at all. If the price falls further, then continue buying.

After finishing his song practice, Andy Lau went downstairs to visit Xing Baohua. Recently, there have been many rumors circulating that Xing Baohua is running out of money.

Who would have thought that Xing Baohua would actually trick him into buying stocks?

After racking his brains for a long time without coming up with a solution, he finally gritted his teeth and took out some of the money he had earned over the years to play the stock market with Xing Baohua.

Not more than 500,000 H coins.

This amount of money is probably only about one-tenth of Andy Lau's.

Even if we lose, it won't hurt us.

It's all about saving face anyway.

Xing Baohua told him to find someone in the finance department to help him trade those stocks. The account would remain with the company, and the trader would buy the stocks on his behalf, without charging Xing Baohua any commission.

Andy Lau had just deposited 500,000 into his account when the trader saw the money and made a phone call. He bought in at any price, not only buying a stock but also going all in.

Andy Lau felt a chill run down his spine.

It's only because I have a good temper that these traders wouldn't be able to leave the building.

Is this how you do things? It's like being a complete idiot.

It's not entirely the trader's fault; they were under strict orders from Xing Baohua. Whether it was funds from their own company account or external funds joining the speculation, everything had to be fully invested. Those with less money bought one or two stocks, those with more money bought in multiple lots, but the bottom line was: full investment.

Andy Lau's blood pressure spiked so high that he felt a little dizzy, so he grabbed the table next to him to steady himself.

I'll never listen to Xing Baohua's nonsense again.

As April approached, Xing Baohua finally raised his stake in six out of more than a dozen stocks.

Everyone in Hong Kong knows a company called Haina Holdings.

It is also known that Xing Baohua became a shareholder through stock trading.

Some experts have analyzed that Xing Baohua is engaging in a hostile takeover, disregarding costs and the potential for loss, with the sole aim of gaining control of these companies.

First, let's talk about the companies that raised their bids. Lee Kum Kee is a company that sells oyster sauce and soy sauce.

China Gas

Maxim's Food

Chow Tai Fook...

Xing Baohua intends to acquire controlling stakes in these companies to strengthen his Hainan Holdings. Currently, it is only known that Hainan Entertainment is one of the companies under his name!

To expand a holding company and achieve true nominal control, one must control more companies.

Acquisition is the only quickest way.

It seems that what the economic experts said makes a lot of sense, but how could Xing Baohua have so much money to acquire more than a dozen companies at the same time?

To gain controlling interest, that would require an enormous amount of financial resources! I can't believe it!

Some even called for the protection of Hong Kong-listed companies, arguing against allowing mainland companies to take control.

Everyone is scrambling for shares, so he can't get any.

Well, it's obvious those market manipulators are eager to jump out after their attempt to create a trap failed. They need someone to buy their shares so they can cash out.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, they spread rumors to Hong Kong stock market investors, especially retail investors who are easily fooled.

As long as there are signs of buying, coupled with large orders from major investors, a single surge can propel the stock price upward.

It's easy for it to rise by a few points, or even a dozen points.

This is a typical method of exploiting people.

Xing Baohua's dozen or so stocks rose for three consecutive days. They had reached his break-even point. As long as he sold the stocks that hadn't yet been acquired, he would break even.

Of course, as long as it's less than 10%, you can sell your shares after six months.

If the price was high at that time, it meant he made a profit. If it was lower than the purchase price, he could sell at a loss if he wanted. If he didn't want to sell at a loss, he could only wait for the price to rise.

The finance department still has $50 million in resources left for him, and he has already invested about $280 million.

Xing Baohua told them not to touch it, and to wait for him to collect the money and come back to continue buying.

I'm getting ready to go to Nandu to attend the Canton Fair.

Last year's transaction volume was over four billion US dollars; I wonder how many orders they can entice this year.

Accompanied by his secretary and seven or eight bodyguards, he set off for Nandu.

The bodyguards were all experienced security personnel; in Hong Kong, their equipment would be very advanced.

It's a pity I can't bring these things back to China: the latest motorcycle walkie-talkies and air headsets. Everyone was dressed in matching black suits.

My secretary speaks English, so it's more convenient to have her with me.

The little girl was a bit startled. (Not that kind of clever girl!)

She was the only one from the entire company going inland with the boss. What if she was asked to do something embarrassing? Should she take the initiative or refuse?

I was filled with anxiety the whole way.

Xing Baohua wasn't particularly interested in this man. He was wearing business attire, but surprisingly, he was also wearing black cotton stockings. He really didn't know how to dress.

The boss's hobby is black silk.

The kind that leaves a hole when you run your hand over it.

It's astonishing that a manufacturer producing such terrible quality socks is still so popular.

This is outrageous!

Upon arriving in Nandu, I didn't go to the temporary base. Instead, I booked a business suite at the most luxurious hotel near the Canton Fair.

After contacting the chief secretary, he rushed over to report some information.

Since Xing Baohua didn't come with the provincial delegation, we still need to explain some of the delegation's regulations to him.

The location seems to have changed a bit this year, with Shandong Province now placed in zone B.

Once you enter the hall, the area on the right can accommodate more than a hundred manufacturers.

The chief secretary pointed to the location of b-002 and said to Xing Baohua, "Factory director, I've seen this one. It's excellent. Not only is the space large, but many people can walk a few steps from the entrance to our display area."

"You can get it?" Xing Baohua asked in surprise. In his understanding, good positions were reserved for those who had made a name for themselves in large, established factories.

His kind of private enterprise should stay in a remote corner.

"The team leader said that we had the most orders last year, and if we keep up the good work this year, we might be able to break last year's record if we get a good spot. The original plan was to give us spot number 1, which is near the main entrance," the secretary said.
