Chapter 188

Humid Monday, April 9, 1973.

The Hang Seng Index has fallen below 1,000 points. This is a signal that it has fallen below people’s psychological threshold. The subsequent stock price is bound to be like a flood, out of control. .

When I told A-Lin this, he looked dejected and desperate.

He said that he envied my timidity. Because of my timidity, I only dared to take out a small part to test the waters, and because of my timidity, I quit the stock market before it fully became hot.

Ah Lin was right, I was just timid. During that time, I couldn't sleep well every night and felt tortured. I always dreamed about the stock market crashing and all my hard work was in vain.

It is too difficult to make money. It is the money that I have worked hard to save for 5 years and plan to use to buy a shop. I cannot afford to gamble.

I didn't make much money, but I didn't lose any money either. I actually envy those people who can make a lot of money and then get away with it. I discovered that I really don't have the ability to make this kind of money.

The stock has been falling for almost a month. Although fake stocks are an opportunity to trigger the stock market sell-off, I think this is an inevitable result and a crash will come sooner or later.

I kept urging Ah Lin to sell it, but he always believed that as long as he didn't sell it, there would be no loss and there would be a day when the price would rise again. But the bank couldn't wait, and the creditors couldn't wait.

He said he knew he was wrong, but there was no way out.

A way out... People must learn to leave a way out for themselves.

Ah, I met Song Ye today. I didn’t realize it before, but he turns out to be quite handsome (embarrassing face).

In fact, I should have gone over to say hello, but after thinking about it, I might as well forget it. Now that I am so shabby, am I going to make others laugh?

I never thought that one day I would feel inferior in front of him. Life is really amazing...

"

In ten months, nearly 100 companies have gone public. Although we have explicitly banned public servants from stock trading, they still She secretly used the phone to call the stock broker during working hours. "

What did the Hong Kong Governor say?"

No matter how stupid she is, she knows that this will have a bad impact on Hong Kong's economy. No, other things are fine. The shipyard is the hardest hit area. People have always been prejudiced against manual work. Now that there is an opportunity to make money, they really run away.

These are all technical talents that Lin Wei worked hard to cultivate, and they can't keep them even if their wages are increased.

Ye Jingen said: "We are going to take measures to close the four major exchanges every Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, and let banks set limits on stock loans."

Lin Wei was silent. Do you want to use this to stop the madness of stock investors?

It is said that the government has not done anything, and others have tried to find ways to do it, but if it does, it is like boiling water to stop it from boiling, and it does not have much effect.

"We hope you can help..."

"It's easy to say," Lin Wei took out a piece of information before Ye Jingen finished speaking and handed it to Ye Jingen, "I took the time to write this these days. You have to ask the China Banking Regulatory Commission to do something. It cannot be used as a decoration. The four exchanges are in chaos. At least the listing rules must be unified and the chaos must be rectified... And as I said before, foreign exchange controls must be implemented to control large-scale capital flows. The Hong Kong stock market cannot be economically viable. It’s because of the troubles of international hot-money institutions.” Lin Wei said a lot like pouring beans.

Ye Jing'en took the information and looked at Lin Wei, looking like she was hesitant to speak.

"What's wrong?" Lin Wei asked.

"Mr. He Landi asked me to ask you, can you come forward and say something?"

Ah?

Lin Wei was stunned.

What do you want her to say?

Ye Jing'en said: "The Governor of Hong Kong has repeatedly stated in front of the media that the stock market is overheated. The government will introduce policies to prevent citizens from investing blindly, but it will not have much effect, so Lin... why don't you try it?"

Lin Wei is very popular among Xiangjiang citizens. The stocks purchased by Prestige, Kowloon Aviation and Haoxin have always been highly sought after by investors, and they are all chasing higher prices than similar stocks.

What does it mean?

Think of her as Buffett?

Lin Wei was completely stunned. Buffett bought whatever he bought and it rose, but she just bought it and left it alone.

Regardless of whether it's overt or covert, it's all the same. She just picks stocks and only picks a few that she is familiar with. Not to mention buying randomly, it's almost the same.

Lin Wei thought about it for a week, which was more than a month and almost two months behind her original sell-off plan at the end of the year.

"Then let's do it in advance." She said to Wu Ming.

Wu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

Both of them are the kind of people with little "promise". If Lin Wei hadn't insisted, Wu Ming would have given up long ago.

Next, Lin Wei issued a statement in the media, even appeared on TV and accepted an interview.

"The current stock market has gone beyond the scope of normal investment. Without the support of the real economy, the stock market has long been higher than the basic level. If you just look at the financial report of a company, you will know that everyone does not have such high profits, and the market value is seriously overvalued, and even some There are problems with the operating conditions of the companies, but the stocks are still rising. This can no longer be called investment. It is speculation, and speculation will definitely trigger bubbles, lead to excessive volatility, and increase stock market risks. "

"The current stock market is like this. In a relay game, the loser must be the last few strokes. Don't be greedy. It doesn't matter if you make less. If you lose everything and lose everything, it will be fatal to ordinary families. "

"So you mean to suggest that everyone meet. Just give it up and leave in time, right?" The host said at the right time.

Lin Wei hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.

She is actually very hesitant, not knowing how much influence she has. What if everyone trusts her too much, causing the stock market to crash early, and everyone ends up pointing the finger at her?

"When does Ms. Lin think the stock will really fall?"

There is really no way to answer this question.

If she said that the stock market would crash in March next year, and it finally came true, everyone would probably think that she was the mastermind behind it.

Besides, who knows if there will be any accidents?

"It's hard to say when the building will collapse. From now on, it's possible every moment. It's time to run for your life. Don't be attached to the treasures that haven't been stuffed into your pockets."

This is really not a good life. Son.

Maybe she would be scolded for being alarmist, and if just saying this wouldn't work, Lin Wei would have to take action and sell off all the stocks held by Kowloon Aviation and Haoxin, including the mutually held shares.

Someone calculated in the newspaper the total number of stocks Lin Wei sold from mid-October to late November.

Kowloon Aviation Industry:

It has 15% of its own treasury shares. The current stock price is 30+, all 45 million shares were sold, and 1.35 billion was cashed out.

Holding 8% of shares in Haoxin, the current stock price of Haoxin is 45+, and all 8 million shares were sold, cashing out 350 million.

Other shareholding companies include stocks of Hang Seng, Matheson, Wheelock and other large companies, and cashed out about 1.2 billion.

The accounts of Kowloon Aviation Industry suddenly increased by 2.9 billion.

As for Haoxin Real Estate:

it holds 8% of shares in Kowloon Aviation Industry and cashed out 700 million.

Other shareholding companies cashed out 900 million.

Haoxin Real Estate's books increased by 1.6 billion.

At first, they held shares in each other, mainly after the stock split. Lin Wei was afraid that the stock price would fluctuate too much. She didn't like the stock price to fluctuate by a few dollars and increase the threshold, so she let Jiulong and Haoxin hold shares in each other to adjust and stabilize the stock price.

The market value of Kowloon Aviation is now 9 billion, and that of Haoxin is 4.5 billion. The market value is more than three times that of 1971.

The stock prices of these two companies can be said to be the result of Lin Wei's own control. They have always risen at a satisfactory rate.

Micro Industrial has also sold off its stocks. It itself holds a lot of shares of Haoxin and Kowloon Aviation, but since they are not listed, everyone does not know how much Micro Industrial has acquired at once, but it can be seen that there is continued selling.

Lin Wei's shipyard also sold its shares.

Lin Wei's leadership was somewhat effective, and some people did follow her and sell their stocks.

In addition, the government has indeed introduced some policies. In the past month or so, the stock market has indeed shown some signs of cooling down.

It really worked, Lin Wei was a little surprised.

This was the best result they had ever expected.

"That's what my grandpa likes about her," Fu Wenfan said with a smile, leaning on his club and looking at the green lawn in the distance, "For them, fame is more important than profit, and they always want to gain a reputation for selfless dedication. , Of course, getting both fame and fortune is the best. "

In his opinion, they are the most greedy, they want both, they are very greedy.

Mike moved the rod twice and suddenly stopped: "So what you mean is, this is not the fog bomb she set off?"

"Compared with questioning her actions this time, I am more inclined to think that she did not give up on Hengsheng." Fu Wenfan replied .

Mike looked hesitant: "What do you mean, isn't HSBC more attractive than Hang Seng? What reason does she have to abandon HSBC and choose Hang Seng?"

Fu Wenfan always smiled: "As I said just now, she and my grandpa She is also a person who pays great attention to her reputation. She has a heavy personal burden and will not do such things that would be criticized behind her back. "

"I understand what you mean," Mike suddenly raised the club and swung it hard. Go out, "She really cherishes her reputation, so she thought of using mortgage. Doesn't her current behavior already speak for itself? If the stock continues to rise, it will be difficult for Hang Seng's stock to fall below the mortgage price. This woman is very Smart."

Fu Wenfan was stunned. He wanted to say that Mike was too confident and took it for granted. Not everyone valued the title of HSBC Director.

Maybe this is not Mike's fault. After all, a big bank like HSBC can offer a large consortium to the richest man. Who in the right mind would say no?

But that was Lin Wei, a person who even the Queen dared to mock. Would she really be in awe of anyone?

...

"This Miss Lin is good at everything, but she is a little naive."

Chen Hengxi paused and slowed down the hand that was squeezing his father's shoulders: "But there are indeed many people who followed her and sold the stock."

"Sold. You can buy more." Chu Aidong closed his eyes and meditated on the recliner while his son massaged his shoulders and the nurse knelt on the ground to massage his legs. "When the stock rises again, some people will still be unable to sit still."

Chen Hengxi understood. , asked: "Did father mean that we don't need to sell the stocks?"

"Have the stocks of Kowloon Aviation and Haoxin dropped?" Chu Aidong asked with his eyes closed.

"No," Chen Hengxi shook his head, "Everyone trusts Lin Wei, so many people have taken over the market."

"In more than a month, she has sold so many stocks, and her stock price has not dropped. What is a fallback?"

" So what does my father mean, the stock will still rise?"

...

"So we want to sell?" Chu Yinghao asked.

His mother had always asked him to pay attention to Lin Wei's actions, so he bought a lot of stocks. Now that Lin Wei had sold them all, he was a little hesitant.

Lin Wei's actions this time were too guiding and looked like a scam.

Xu Wenshan closed her eyes. The technician was massaging her head. She waited until the other person's hand left her chin and then said, "If your brain is not bright enough, don't think too deeply. Just do whatever others do." "

But . ..."

"I asked you to pay attention to the ICAC. Is there any news?" Xu Wenshan interrupted him.

"It's still like that. Only Lu Rong, Diao Quan and Tan Gang were arrested, and the others were left untouched. I think the Hong Kong Governor's Office just wanted to use them to establish their power and had no intention of engaging in police work," Chu said Yinghao sat down and said, "This is an opportunity. We can take this opportunity to carve up the territory. The gangs are now in chaos. With our relationship with Xie Feng, it is a good time to take over secretly."

Several Chinese detectives were suddenly arrested. It caused shock in the port city for a while.

Without everyone knowing what was happening, the Independent Commission Against Corruption quickly searched the properties of the three Chinese detectives, and found nearly 100 million Hong Kong dollars in a residence in Lu Rong alone.

The name of the Independent Commission Against Corruption spread throughout Hong Kong overnight.

This anti-corruption agency, which is not under the control of government agencies and directly takes orders from the Hong Kong Governor's Office, has become an authoritative and mysterious department.

But just when people thought they were going to start a big fight, after the ICAC arrested people, it only confiscated the property and took no other action. It did not interrogate other people, nor did it say how to deal with these Chinese detectives.

Xu Wenshan opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling: "How long do you think the ICAC has been preparing to catch them?"

If it were not fully prepared, how could it grasp the evidence so accurately and quickly, and even find out where the property was hidden?

The speed was so fast that they didn't hear any news, and several Chinese detectives didn't even have time to transfer their property and family members.

As early as when the person in charge of the Transportation Bureau escaped, several detectives had already realized that something was wrong and smelled a hint of crisis. However, they relaxed after seeing no action from the Hong Kong government for a long time.

How similar is the situation now?

The Independent Commission Against Corruption is most likely planning its next move.

Chu Yinghao frowned: "Does that mean that stocks can't be bought and land can't be taken over?"

"It's always right to be careful..." Xu Wenshan closed her eyes.

...

In two months, the stock market was only calm for about two months. After New Year's Day in 1973, a wave of new stocks were listed on the market, and the exchange became popular again.

In more than a month, the market skyrocketed, from 1,000 points to 1,300 points.

Then the newspapers began to be filled with cynicism about Lin Wei.

"I would say this is thankless and unnecessary," Lin Wei was a little unhappy, writing a little heavier, "When hot money disappears, money tightens, and the Great Depression comes, ordinary people will still be sacrificed."

Lin Wei feels that if the Hang Seng Index can stabilize at around 1,000, even if hot money withdraws, the losses will not be too heavy.

At the beginning of the year, when there were signs of stock market recovery, Lin Wei asked Wu Ming to release her stocks, except Dongfang Industrial, which were hidden in the dark. It turned out that she couldn't hold them down at all, and her small amount of funds was completely insufficient due to the enthusiasm of investors. look.

Wu Ming consoled him: "It's not necessarily as serious as you said. Even if the economy is in recession, we are not afraid. The people here are very tough and cannot be defeated. The economy will recover, just like before."

Lin Wei faced He said expressionlessly: "After the economy recovers, the stock market will pick up again, and then investors will enter the market again. Ordinary people are like leeks, harvesting one crop after another."

Wu Ming stopped persuading her, and it was understandable that Lin Wei was unhappy. Yes, what was said in the newspapers was very unpleasant, especially those who believed Lin Wei's words and sold their stocks. Now, seeing the stock market rising sharply, they are yelling at Lin Wei.

At a banquet a few days ago, someone said it in front of Lin Wei Let her stay at home and stop being a bitch and talking nonsense.

Wu Ming was so angry that he moved his hands, which made some people feel disgusted. It was simply outrageous.

This matter was even mentioned in the newspapers, and now it is spreading a lot outside. Many people feel that Lin Wei has blocked their own financial path, and they are full of resentment towards her. It is difficult for Lin Wei not to be upset.

However, this incident also caused the scandal between Lin Wei and Wu Ming to intensify, and people now firmly believe in the relationship between the two.

No one believed the statement. Even Wu’s mother and Sun Boran asked them several times.

Wu Ming did not continue the topic with her: "What are you going to do with the money?"

Although the secretly sold stocks did not rise 10 times as expected, but with the profits from Micro Industries and the shipyard, they now have more than 4 billion in funds. At your disposal.

Although Kowloon Aviation and Haoxin also have a lot of money, unless Lin Wei divides it with everyone as dividends, it cannot be used casually except for business activities.

do what?

Lin Wei looked at the letter paper in front of her. It was the time of annual letter greeting again. Lin Wei was writing a letter to Harland's head, Borders. This was not an easy task. Every year, the letter had to be written differently. It’s ok, the words must be beautiful, enough respect must be expressed, enough rainbow farts must be given, and of course, the strength of Xinbai Shipbuilding must be properly boasted, and the proportion of the length must be well controlled.

Lin Wei picked up the letter and handed it to Wu Ming: "Please help me polish it again." Wu

Ming took it and was stunned when he looked up.

Haaland?

But before he could ask anything, there was a knock on the door.

The secretary brought them the latest news.

"The police just caught a stock counterfeiting gang."

Lin Wei was stunned, and she looked at Wu Ming.

She knew that the reason why the stock market fell was because of fake stocks, but it was only February and the stocks had not risen to the so-called high of more than 1,700 points.

What does this mean?

Do you want to advance?
