The next day, Jinshi Securities Co., Ltd. was crowded and bustling.
Citizens flocked to consult and invest in Huizhong Fund. Some were expectant, some were curious, but all showed great interest in this emerging investment method.
After all, the guaranteed annual compound return rate of 8% promised by Huizhong Fund is undoubtedly very attractive to most investors.
At the same time, in the Gold and Silver Trading Market on Ma Sha Street in Sheung Wan, Hong Kong Island, this trading hall that has gone through a century of vicissitudes, also welcomed the figures of Mo Zhexuan, Zhang Ning and Wang Yalin.
Their purpose for this trip was clear - to sell a ton of gold redeemed from Goldman Sachs through the Gold and Silver Exchange in order to maximize their profits.
In the trading hall on the second floor, Mo Zhexuan, Zhang Ning and Wang Yalin stood by the railing, overlooking the busy and orderly scene at the bottom of the patio.
About two hundred gold traders, dressed in bright yellow vest uniforms, are like a school of fish swimming in a golden ocean, busy yet elegant.
With sharp eyes and steady steps, they keenly searched the crowd for suitable trading partners according to the instructions of their boss behind them.
Every time their eyes meet, it seems like the beginning of a silent contest, and every change in gestures may foreshadow the outbreak of a fierce transaction.
Around the trading floor, dense telephone lines are intertwined like a spider web, transmitting trading information from all over the world.
Closed-circuit televisions silently monitor every corner, ensuring fairness and transparency in transactions and adding a touch of modern technology to this ancient yet vibrant market.
The air was filled with tension and excitement, as if one could feel the heat brought by the circulation of gold and silver at any time.
Here, every tiny change may trigger a huge trading storm that makes people hold their breath.
Mo Zhexuan's gaze was focused on a trader. He saw him skillfully raise his right hand, his fingers like a nimble pianist playing invisible strings, and the outward bending movement sent out a silent invitation.
This tiny action immediately caused a stir among the crowd.
The responsive buyers and sellers approached quickly like cheetahs, leaning forward slightly with their arms outstretched, ready to capture this fleeting business opportunity.
Then, a silent dance was performed brilliantly in the trading floor.
Buyers and sellers surround the central figure, making various gestures quickly and accurately, bending, stretching, and pointing their fingers. Each movement represents a specific trading signal.
Their movements were lightning fast and accurate, as if they were a perfect combination of strength and beauty.
At the climax of the transaction, the central figure decisively and quickly patted several buyers and sellers on the shoulders.
These actions are as fast as lightning, conveying the information and amount of the transaction.
As he slapped, the crowd quickly dispersed, and a transaction was completed in this brief moment.
This traditional and unique way of trading - public bidding with hand gestures - was a unique sight in Hong Kong before the 1980s.
In that era, buyers and sellers concluded deals through a series of precise and rhythmic gestures. The bending and stretching, pointing and tapping of fingers all contained rich trading information.
However, with the advancement of technology and the popularization of computers, this ancient and charming trading method has gradually withdrawn from the stage of history and has been replaced by more convenient and efficient electronic trading systems.
"Zhang Ning, let's get started!" Mo Zhexuan said in a deep voice after observing the trading floor for a while.
"I understand!" Zhang Ning nodded in agreement, picked up the mobile phone in his hand with a focused expression, and started dialing.
As the call was connected, buyers and sellers from Jinshi Securities and Yangfan Securities took action. They entered the market quickly and orderly, preparing to start a new round of trading.
According to the transaction rules, once the buyer and seller reach a transaction, professional staff will be responsible for collecting relevant transaction data.
After the market closes, these trading data will be taken to the designated area of the trading venue for detailed calculation.
After the calculation is completed, the actual transaction does not need to be carried out immediately. Instead, the two parties to the transaction are given a three-day buffer period.
During these three days, traders can choose to resell their gold to others or take advantage of market fluctuations to buy gold at a lower price, thereby optimizing their investment portfolio.
Mo Zhexuan's clever plan was that he carefully arranged a transaction that seemed ordinary but was actually very clever.
On the one hand, he actively purchased gold in the market through the buyers and sellers of Jinshi Securities, thereby artificially increasing the demand for gold in the market and creating an atmosphere of supply exceeding demand.
On the other hand, he cleverly used the buyers and sellers of Yangfan Securities to sell gold. On the surface, it seemed that he was increasing the supply of gold in the market, but in fact he was further manipulating the market through this method, causing the price of gold to fluctuate under his control.
Through this strategy, Mo Zhexuan was not only able to maximize his own interests, but also to cleverly conceal his tracks and avoid attracting excessive market attention and regulatory attention.
Mo Zhexuan whispered, "Zhang Ning, the next task is up to you. You must sell this ton of gold before May. Is that okay?"
Zhang Ning nodded, a confident smile on his face: "Don't worry, Mr. Mo, I will strictly follow the plan and ensure the successful completion of the mission!"
“..........”
In the days that followed, Mo Zhexuan lived a life of going to work, going home to accompany his children, and became a responsible full-time dad.
At the same time, the one ton of gold was sold smoothly through the gold and silver trading market without anyone noticing. The whole process was carried out quietly and did not attract any attention from the outside world.
In the end, this transaction brought in a huge profit of HK$312 million, of which HK$300 million was deposited into the account of Jinshi Securities for the important plan of acquiring Jardine Matheson Holdings, and the remaining HK$12 million became Mo Zhexuan's pocket money.
