Inside the top-floor executive office of Jardine House.
Newbikini stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the mesmerizing Victoria Harbour below.
He couldn't help but recall how young and spirited he was when he first arrived in Hong Kong, and how 99% of the wealth on this land belonged to British companies.
As the largest British-owned enterprise in Hong Kong, Jardine Matheson naturally enjoys all the glory and praise.
But what about now?
The harbor remains prosperous, but this prosperity no longer seems to belong to Jardine Matheson, and even less to him.
Following the recent recovery in the stock market, Hongkong Land's share price has fully recovered from its previous trough.
Kobayashi Tenno's own intervention in buying at the bottom greatly boosted the confidence of shareholders, as well as those retail investors who had no understanding of market analysis or trends.
Newbigen has been standing here like this, motionless, for almost an hour.
He sighed repeatedly and didn't look at that damn Hongkong Land stock chart again.
95 Hong Kong dollars.
Newbijian couldn't understand why Hongkong Land Group, without any other positive news and solely relying on Kobayashi Tenno's own confidence to increase his holdings, could rebound to a price of almost 100 yuan.
All the negative information he released before was completely true!
Moreover, Kobayashi Tenno himself admitted that he had almost emptied the funds of the Landmark Group.
The situation for mainland electrical appliance manufacturers has not improved either; the stockpiled electrical products have completely filled various warehouses.
This is insane!
Hong Kong stock market investors are all crazy!
How dare you still hold shares in a company like Hongkong Land? And why have you pushed the price up to HK$95?
What about me, Newbikin, selling all my shares at a low price?
At this point, Newman regretted his impulsive decision to sell off his 3% stake in Hongkong Land at a low price. But why was he so afraid that the price would continue to fall?
If we had held onto them until now, we could have sold at least hundreds of millions more, making our financial statements look better and allowing us to give a better account to our shareholders.
But what about now?
How much did he lose?
Two hundred million? Or three hundred million?
If Hongkong Land's stock price rises further, the paper losses will be even greater.
He no longer dared to calculate it in detail.
The more he thought about it, the more conflicted and upset he became, but there's no going back.
Seeing Hongkong Land's stock price surge again in a short period of time, he lost the courage to get back in.
Yes!
Now, just seeing Kobayashi Tenno and the words "Zhidi Group" makes his head throb with pain.
He knew that this time, he had been completely ousted from control of the Hongkong Land Group.
He originally thought that Kobayashi Tenmoku was arrogant and courting death by draining the money from Jardine Matheson and running off to the mainland to set up an electronics factory.
He had thought it was a golden opportunity for Newbie to take everything back.
He originally thought that Kobayashi Tenno's "self-destruction" statement was crazy.
But now, he looked at the stock price of HK$95 and the frenzied trading volume in the market.
Suddenly, it seemed like he understood.
That devil, Kobayashi Tenno...
He is not self-destructing.
He's... washing the dishes!
He's using the illusion of "being on the verge of bankruptcy," a trap of "broken cash flow," to lure all "smart people" like himself, Newbikini...
To all shareholders who still have doubts about Hongkong Land...
Get rid of all the weak-willed retail investors...
They were all washed out!
Then, when the stock price was low, he bought back more Hongkong Land shares at a lower cost as leverage!
Everything was just right.
Kobayashi Tenno won both face and substance.
Meanwhile, Niu Bijian suffered a crushing defeat and is now embroiled in trouble. If he cannot quickly find a new profit center or plan, he will soon face serious questions from the board of directors and shareholders' meeting.
Newbijian was extremely anxious, his brows furrowed, and finally, as if he had made up his mind, he called out, "James."
"Preschool..."
James, his trusted confidant who had been waiting behind him, quickly responded.
But he was also feeling uneasy, because he had never seen such an abnormal situation in the typhoon.
There was no yelling, and no angry throwing of things.
There was only one kind of... eerie calm.
However, he knew very well that Newbeg's current state was the calm before the storm, and that he must have already been brewing an even more insane revenge plan.
"He won. He won the comics, the movies, the television, the real estate... This Kobayashi Tenno has made a fool of all of us."
When James heard this, he didn't dare to say a single word in rebuttal.
However, thinking of Kobayashi Tenno, who had already been mythologized in Hong Kong, he thought helplessly, "More than monkeys! We're even worse than monkeys. In front of Kobayashi Tenno, we're just a bunch of fools who willingly offer bananas to his door."
"No……"
Newbeg's angry voice suddenly turned cold, then filled with an undeniable murderous intent as he said, "No! He is not omnipotent! He has one flaw... a flaw in which he has invested astronomical sums of money, poured all his ambition and greed... This is also... his only, and most fatal, weakness!"
