The market experienced a brief downturn, which appears sluggish but does not signify a bear market; it is merely caused by certain factors. With some companies making slight adjustments or taking timely remedial measures, the downward trend can be temporarily halted.

Huahong Telecom, as the leader in the market decline, experienced a particularly rapid drop.

Base for operators of hillside villa projects.

Don't be fooled by the fact that these traders seem to have nothing to do; they're constantly looking at data charts, familiarizing themselves with price points, and practicing switching accounts quickly.

They wouldn't know the price or time of the order to be placed, and Xing Baohua wouldn't tell them in advance at which point to place the order.

This is to prevent them from tipping them off.

The biggest rule for traders is that they cannot place orders themselves or have their relatives place orders.

This practice of hitchhiking is highly taboo within the industry.

Xing Baohua was reading the news and newspapers in his villa. If others could plant moles in his company, so could he.

Isn't it just about bribing them with money?

Xing Baohua also bribed mid- to high-level managers in banks, stock exchanges, and several Hong Kong distributors.

Xing Baohua offered them money and positions. He told them that if they were found unemployed, as long as they didn't die, he could arrange positions for them at any company in the world with one of his businesses.

The escape routes have all been paved, so how could those bribed moles not follow them down the dark path? The key is that this kid is paying a lot of money; even if he doesn't give it to the company, he can live on that money for decades.

Luo Fengjuan, the secretary, was in charge of coordination at the company. Xie Yingying traveled back and forth between the company and the villa. Jin Xin accompanied Xie Yingying to the villa this time.

Upon meeting Xing Baohua, he said, "China Merchants Group's acquisition of Huahong Aviation Logistics is complete. What's next?"

"Wait!"

“If we back down, the price will plummet,” Jin Xin said. China Merchants Group had finally managed to stabilize the situation with buying, but Xing Baohua’s casual remark instantly reduced the net worth of this new shareholder.

It's normal for stock prices to drop and shrink; once they recover, the market value will be back to normal.

What's there to be afraid of if the investment shrinks? It's not like buying and selling stocks to make a profit. What matters is the medium- to long-term return on investment, which involves receiving dividends.

Xing Baohua first asked Xie Yingying and Jin Xin to help him organize some internal messages sent by other companies.

In particular, the internal fund flows of several banks were analyzed, with a focus on identifying funds that entered exchange accounts and distributor accounts.

There are also some accounts revealed by distributors.

After reviewing these accounts and their fund movements, I was truly shocked. This was after filtering out the suspicious accounts, and the amount reached a staggering 3.3 billion US dollars, across more than 600 accounts.

Where did all those household registrations come from?

Will there be a shortage of accounts at securities exchanges and distributors, plus banks?

Xing Baohua initially had a financial advantage, but now?

1.5:1, it's almost more than double.

The disadvantages are becoming increasingly apparent, as exchanges, distributors, and banks are all helping those international speculative funds.

Xing Baohua is severely understaffed with only a few people at the villa.

Neither Haina nor Huahong can be used, because it's unknown which one is someone else's mole. I thought that with an overseas trader and Xiaotian, we'd be invincible.

Just getting Xiao Tian to type in all that account information would wear out his fingers.

So Xing Baohua called Geng Rui and asked her to find a way to recruit some people from their side, starting with ten.

He also told Geng Rui that time was of the essence and it would be best to arrive in Hong Kong tonight.

Xing Baohua then said to Jin Xin, "Have a word with your superiors, the same old thing, lend me some people, accountants who know computers, data analysts, and intelligence analysts. Try to get them to port tonight."

Jin Xin nodded and went out to make a phone call.

Xing Baohua then said to Xie Yingying, "Call your uncle and ask him to lend me a few people, just like I said before, as many as he can come."

China Merchants Group has companies in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, so it can quickly send people over. However, Poly Group's procedures are more complicated, and there are relatively few people with complete entry and exit documents who can come over.

Once the number of people who could come was determined, Xing Baohua arranged for a private plane to pick them up.

This is the fastest way.

Actually, it would be good to transfer Geng Rui's team here, but we can't leave there.

If Xing Baohua could think of using cyberattacks on some servers, wouldn't people take a look at Haina's servers?

Unfortunately, the main account on Haina's side was the bait.

The stock market is in chaos, perhaps due to some pressure. The Governor of Hong Kong made a few lukewarm remarks on television, saying that Hong Kong's economic fundamentals are stable, etc.

It's reassuring to hear such words, but they're also true; the market is indeed stable. The stock market decline is just a minor, localized problem; it will return to its original trajectory in a couple of days.

After the Governor finished speaking, the President of the Securities Association also spoke, and economists and others said a few words, all conveying the same message: stay calm.

Retail investors are criticizing it, ordinary people are criticizing it, and small business owners from all walks of life are criticizing it.

Anyway, those who spoke out didn't lose money. Some social factors were triggered by the outcry.

Housing prices have risen, but salaries haven't.

Vegetables have become more expensive in the market, and with my salary, I can't even afford to eat grass.

The fried noodles that cost seven yuan were sold for ten yuan, and the profit was enough to cover basic needs like food and shelter. So where did all the money go?

Those people above are talking about how high the average income is in Hong Kong and how affluent people live. But look at the average minimum income and your own salary, how can you not complain?

The difference is several times greater; where did all that money go?

Scolding won't help; those who are talking won't hear you, and they certainly won't give you an explanation of what an average value is.

If we must explain it, it's because there are too many wealthy people in Hong Kong, and their income has inflated the average.

Low income means you're not working hard enough.
