However, after Li Ka-shing announced significant positive developments regarding Orange, these individuals changed some of their previous practices.
Immediately afterwards, all of Lee's Group's stock prices bottomed out and rose against the trend.
Those who had previously invested money inquired whether Li Ka-shing needed further funding.
Those who did not provide assistance to Li Ka-shing, nor buy his stocks, or even engage in short selling, suffered heavy losses.
It can be said that at this point, whether they made money, didn't make money, or even lost money, they all regretted their previous actions.
Those who made money felt they hadn't invested enough initially.
Those who lose money are the ones who try to change course.
Many people believed that they should get closer to the Li family and provide them with assistance in order to make money from them.
But there's no going back.
Of course, they are not the worst off.
The worst off are the ordinary, or rather, small and medium-sized, shareholders.
Many people cut their losses and leave the market when stocks fall, losing everything.
Of course, many people continue to hold onto their Li Group shares because they are too easygoing, reluctant to part with them, or because they trust Li Ka-shing.
When they saw the Lee Group's stock price rise from around 5 to around 6, then 7, and then surpass the price before the big drop, and even continue to rise after breaking 10, they were overjoyed.
Of course, such people are in the minority.
There's nothing people can do about this situation; most people are helpless.
Because Li Ka-shing set up a scheme, or rather, carried out a major strategic deception, and fooled almost everyone.
Only Chen Dong, a survivor, avoided a major setback because he remembered Li Ka-shing's big move in 1993.
Although Chen Dong has many businesses and is very powerful, if this investment fails, it will be a major blow to his development, especially to his development in the financial field.
Because this means his undefeated streak has been broken.
Fortunately, Chen Dong reacted in time.
Not only did he escape unharmed, but he also ensured that Li Xiaoman, Zhu Yuehua, and others benefited as well.
Such is life; it can only be described as a series of unfortunate coincidences.
This major stock price fluctuation can be considered a minor stock market crash for many people.
Even though its impact is far smaller than that of historical stock market depressions that lasted for a long time, it is still a major blow to many people.
Many people went bankrupt.
On that day, the streets of Hong Kong were filled with zombies, drunkards, and some even climbed onto rooftops and jumped to their deaths.
Many institutions that shorted Li Ka-shing's stocks also suffered heavy losses.
For these people, temporary success or failure is commonplace.
Because that's what they usually do.
It's better for those who aren't greedy, because they've hedged their positions.
However, some people who take a desperate gamble will face many problems.
Those who only trade stocks are particularly affected.
For example, many small and medium-sized shareholders were affected.
It must be said that stock trading requires a strong heart and the ability to read market trends.
For example, if one can clearly understand the Li Group's underlying strength, one will not be easily influenced by external information and sell stocks.
Therefore, stock trading and futures trading are largely a matter of psychological game and strategic vision.
If you believe that a certain industry will experience significant growth and make investments based on that belief, you may be able to reap substantial profits.
Otherwise, you will be misled by various market information, chasing highs and selling lows, often resulting in losing everything.
As a person of later generations, Chen Dong has a profound understanding of Li Ka-shing's actions.
People today, whether from Hong Kong or the mainland, still hold Li Ka-shing in high esteem, regarding him as a model of a successful businessman and a good citizen, without recognizing his true nature as an unscrupulous capitalist.
Chen Dong kept thinking about what opportunity he could have to expose his true colors and let everyone see what kind of person he was.
However, this opportunity is not easy to find.
This stock market crash provided Chen Dong with such a good opportunity.
To be honest, Chen Dong originally wanted to take this opportunity to target the Li Group's stock, weaken Li Ka-shing's business, and reduce his power, but he did not expect Li Ka-shing to have such a trick up his sleeve.
After receiving the news, Chen Dong could take some action to slightly hinder Li Ka-shing's strategy, but the effect was not significant.
So he didn't do that.
Because if a message that is supposed to be strictly confidential is leaked, not many people will necessarily believe it.
Moreover, Li Ka-shing's power is already firmly established, so even if he reveals Li Ka-shing's business layout in the UK, it won't cause him any real damage.
It would be better to go with the flow, make a profit without incurring losses, and then launch an attack from other angles.
So Chen Dong revealed this information to Li Xiaoman and Zhu Yuehua, with the intention of helping them expand their network while he himself used this opportunity to further enhance his standing in their eyes.
This will also facilitate further control and utilization of Hong Kong's financial industry in the future, allowing him to spread his reputation more widely and attract more people to cooperate with him.
For Chen Dong, the stock incident was just a minor event, a small setback in his dealings with Li Ka-shing.
After thinking for a moment, Chen Dong waved his hand, signaling Wolong to bring over the mobile phone.
Wolong skillfully took the bag from one of his underlings, took out his mobile phone, and handed it to Chen Dong.
Chen Dong picked up the phone and dialed Li Dongming, a newspaper editor he knew.
After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Chen Dong said:
"This stock market crash was deliberately orchestrated by Li Ka-shing."
What Chen Dong said was absolutely earth-shattering.
"What? Are you serious?" Li Dongming exclaimed in shock.
"Haven't you considered that there might be some inside story behind this major fluctuation in the Hong Kong stock market? It's too dramatic!"
"Through some channels, I learned that this was something Li Ka-shing did opportunistically. It can be said that this was largely what he wanted. This kidnapping case was like a godsend."
Next, Chen Dong gave a general overview of his speculations about Li Ka-shing's role in this stock market battle.
Li Dongming slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "That's right, you're absolutely right. Li Jiacheng's actions really seem too abnormal and too coincidental!"
Chen Dong said, "Therefore, I want the people of Hong Kong to know the true face of Li Ka-shing."
However, Li Dongming still hesitated: "Going after Li Ka-shing now? Not to mention that he has always had a good reputation, he is currently riding high. Is it really necessary to do this?"
