Chapter 204 Crazy Xiangjiang stock market (7K chapter, please subscribe~)

  When the time entered January 1973, Xiangjiang's stock market had already entered a crazy stage.

  In the first quarter alone, there were as many as 85 companies listed on the Hong Kong Four Conferences.

  In the past January, the monthly turnover was 9.449 billion Hong Kong dollars, setting a record again!

   "Only stocks, not banknotes!"

  Cao Yunshang looked at the Chengbao in his hand, frowned, and said to Chu Huan next to him: "Now even the newspapers say that, it seems that Xiangjiang's stock market is really going to go wrong!"

  At this time, some discerning people in Xiangjiang have already seen that Xiangjiang's stock market is overheated, which is not a good phenomenon.

  Chu Huan said with a smile: "Didn't you hear that the Hong Kong government has sent a guard to guard the entrance of the Far Eastern Society in the name of the "Fire Regulations?"

  The Far East Club is located in Chinatown at this time, which is an old-style building, and the fire-fighting equipment does not meet the regulations. This can be regarded as a reason.

In addition, there are rumors that the Hong Kong government also believes that the current Hong Kong stock market is overheated and the market is over-speculative, and has even begun to prepare for the formulation of securities regulations. Enactment and enforcement of legislation.

"It's not just this, I also heard that the Hong Kong government has sent people to discuss with the four congresses, hoping that they can only open half-day markets every January, March, and Friday!" Cao Yunshang also told Chu Huan the information she had obtained .

   "It's useless!" Sitting on the sofa, Chu Huan shook his head and said, "The market is already crazy now, and no one will listen to the Hong Kong government!"

   The crazy market cannot be stopped by the Hong Kong government.

Just two days ago, the Hong Kong government also announced new regulations: the prospectus of all companies applying for listing must be registered with the Companies Registry, and the prospectus must list all necessary information, including company history, management personnel, past performance, financial situation etc.

  But these behaviors are of no avail to the crazy stock market!

   There are many reasons why the Xiangjiang stock market is so crazy. Some people analyze it in later generations, and it can be summarized as the following aspects.

   The first is the transformation of international relations.

During this period, talks between the Rabbit Country and the Beautiful Country, the normalization of diplomatic relations between China and Japan, the establishment of diplomatic relations between China (West) and Germany, the improvement of Sino-British relations, and the Vietnam peace talks also made some progress. Ease, Xiangjiang's political situation has become more stable.

  Secondly, the Hong Kong government learned a lesson from the incident in 1967. During this period, it announced a 10-year housing construction plan and a subway construction plan, and Hong Kong's economy entered a period of steady development.

  In addition, the serious financial and currency crisis in the West, the depreciation of the US dollar and the floating of the British pound, while the situation in Southeast Asia continued to be turbulent, caused a large amount of hot money from Europe and the United States and hot money from Southeast Asia to flow into Xiangjiang, and a considerable part of it entered the stock market.

In addition, more and more international financial institutions have come to Xiangjiang to acquire local banks and industrial and commercial enterprises, set up financial, financial institutions and investment companies, and actively participate in the stock market, while some foreign-funded banks and local banks have relaxed the conditions for stock mortgage loans , and even use their own funds to directly invest in stocks.

  Finally, more and more citizens of Xiangjiang, including employees from various industries and even housewives, are involved in stock trading and speculation.

If you go to the stock exchange now, you will see people from all walks of life, even monks and nuns, and stockbrokers have become very popular at this time, even if you go to a tea restaurant, if the waiter knows the identity of the other party They will also be extra hospitable to entertain them, just to get some inside information!

  So, in this world, there is no one who is not greedy, and everyone wants to get something for nothing.

  Now the stock market in Xiangjiang provides the best stage for these greedy people.

   Do you think they don't know that the Xiangjiang stock market is overheated now?

  They all know it too, but no one cares, because everyone thinks they can get out in time before the snow mountain collapses!

  Gu Chengxi, the "Cheng Bao" reporter who has always wanted to do an exclusive interview with Chu Huan.

  At this time, she was standing in the hall of the Far East Society, but she was also the only person in the entire hall who didn't pay attention to the numbers on the blackboard.

  At this moment, Gu Chengxi is no longer as capable as before, and is trying to persuade a middle-aged woman who looks somewhat similar to her. The other party's maintenance is very successful, and she is just a mature woman in her thirties.

   "Mommy, sell it quickly, the stock market in Xiangjiang is too hot now, this is not normal!"

   It turned out that this mature woman was Gu Chengxi's mother, and at this time one of the thousands of shareholders of Xiangjiang.

  Gu Chengxi is a single-parent family. His father passed away a few years ago. When Gu Chengxi's father was alive, the conditions of the Gu family were still very good.

  It is somewhat similar to Zhao Yazhi's family.

  But with the death of Gu Chengxi's father, the Gu family lost their most important source of income, but Gu Chengxi had no choice but to give up the opportunity to continue his studies and choose to join "Cheng Bao" as a reporter.

   In addition, Gu Chengxi doesn't have a younger sister yet. After graduating from middle school, she no longer goes to school. Every day she thinks about how to become a star, but in fact she is a bum.

  As for Gu Chengxi's mother, since she married Gu Chengxi's father, she has never worked, and she is completely a family mistress.

  Now all the expenses of the Gu family fall on Gu Chengxi alone.

   Such days are naturally tight, but after 73 years, Gu Chengxi found that his sister started buying famous brands again.

  The mother's quality of life has also improved a lot.

   After repeated questioning, Gu Chengxi found out that her mother had listened to someone's persuasion and started trading in stocks.

   Originally, Gu Chengxi always thought that her mother was just making trouble, and now that the Xiangjiang stock market is booming, Gu Chengxi didn't say anything.

  But just last night, when Gu Chengxi came home from overtime work, he heard the conversation between the younger sister and her mother. It turned out that they mortgaged the only real estate left by Gu Chengxi's father and used the loan to speculate in stocks.

  After hearing the news, Gu Chengxi turned pale with fright, and rushed into the house, asking her mother to withdraw the money from the stock market and return it to the bank.

  Mother Gu promised with all her mouth, but the real situation is that the left ear goes in and the right ear goes out!

  Woke up early in the morning and came to Far East Club to look at the stocks I bought.

   Gu Chengxi was worried, and followed her secretly, and then saw that Mama Gu didn't sell her stocks at all as she said.

  This is how it happened, the picture of Gu Chengxi persuading Gu's mother to sell stocks just now.

   As a reporter for the economic section of "Cheng Pao", Gu Chengxi still has some sensitivity to Xiangjiang's stock market, especially since she didn't buy stocks and was outside Lushan Mountain, she felt that Xiangjiang's stock market was a bit overheated.

   This is a very abnormal phenomenon.

   But Gu's mother didn't listen at all at this time. She didn't just perfunctory her eldest daughter yesterday. She felt that she had already made a lot of money, so she could sell it now.

   But when she walked into the trading floor, the situation became different. Watching the numbers on the blackboard keep jumping up, she mentally calculated how much her wealth had increased.

   Driven by this kind of psychology, Gu's mother just hates herself for only this little money now, and she should find a way to borrow some more money.

   "What are you talking about? How can you sell it now? You haven't seen that the stock price has been rising. You see, it has risen by another 50 cents in just a short while."

  Mother Gu pointed to the stock she bought and preached proudly.

Immediately, he seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said to Gu Chengxi: "By the way, if you have any money in your pocket, give it to me. With the current trend, how can you raise two yuan today? When you go home tonight, mom will give it to you." There is also a little girl who cooks shark fin rice!"

  Gu Chengxi was speechless for a while, he came here to persuade her to sell the stock, so why did she care about borrowing money by herself again.

"Mum, listen to me. Now the Hong Kong government has repeatedly repeated that the stock market should cool down. It is obvious that there will be problems in the Hong Kong stock market. Listen to me. I am a reporter for the economic sector of "Sing Pao". After interviewing so many economists, they all feel that Xiangjiang’s stock market is a little overheated, and it will definitely cool down in the future!”

   As a result, Gu Chengxi found that she had finished speaking earnestly, but did not get a response from her mother, but felt that she was looking at her eyes, as if she was looking at an idiot.

   No, not one look, but countless looks.

  Gu Chengxi just noticed that he spoke too loudly just now, and many leeks in the trading hall heard them, and then they looked at themselves as if they were idiots.

   "Cut, you still say that you are a reporter of "Cheng Bao". If their reporters are all of this level, I will never believe the news of "Cheng Bao" in the future."

   "Who says no, what kind of broken experts, what they say is not accurate!"

   "Okay, don't be angry with such ignorant people, let's look at our own stocks!"

  Hearing the discussions around her, and looking at her mother's eyes of approval, Gu Chengxi knew that no matter how much she persuaded her today, it would be impossible for her mother to sell the stock.

  Looking at the time again, thinking about what the editor-in-chief told me yesterday, I still have something to interview this morning, so I can only decide to leave first.

   "I'll tell you when I get back tonight!"

  Then, Gu Chengxi left in a hurry.

  Mother Gu said embarrassingly to the teachers and nurses around: "Sorry, sorry, my daughter is stupid in reading!"

   "Excuse me editor, I have some things this morning"

  Gu Chengxi, who returned to the newspaper office, was late after all, and hurriedly apologized to her editor-in-chief. Fortunately, the current editor-in-chief is not the editor-in-chief who targeted her back then, otherwise, this month's bonus would definitely be gone.

"Okay, let's not talk about this matter now. Chu Tianxiao of Jiahu Textile has been doing a lot recently. You have reported the Chu family's affairs before. Now, let's leave the matter of Chu Tianxiao to you. Let's see if you can do it." We can't dig out Chu Tianxiao's recent actions, so let's go and see what Chu Huan will do!"

  Everyone in Xiangjiang knows that Chu Tianxiao and Chu Huan are not compatible with each other!

Gu Chengxi thought for a while and asked: "Editor-in-Chief, how long has it been since Chu Huan became a shareholder of Jiahu Textile? ?”

  The editor-in-chief chuckled and said, "Then it's up to you to investigate and interview.

  Anyway, there are two tasks for you. The first one is to investigate Chu Tianxiao’s latest plan, and the second one is to see if Chu Huan still doesn’t respond this time! "

  Although this kind of behavior is still a bit paparazzi, Gu Chengxi is still very interested in the affairs of the Chu family, especially Chu Huan. Thinking that he has not successfully interviewed Chu Huan until now, he still cares very much.

   "Don't worry, editor-in-chief, I will definitely not disappoint you this time!"

  Seeing Gu Chengxi's full confidence, the editor-in-chief chuckled and said, "Okay, young people are motivated, work hard!"

   "Thank you editor-in-chief!"

  Walking out of the editor-in-chief's office and returning to his desk, Gu Chengxi began to read the news about Chu Tianxiao during this period.

  The first thing that attracts the most attention is naturally the joint acquisition of Shaw Building by Huhua Real Estate and Hang Lung Real Estate.

  However, some time ago, all the major newspapers had published this matter, and now there is not much heat.

Later, Gu Chengxi thought that after this news came out, many people were spreading the news that whether it was Hang Lung Real Estate or Huhua Real Estate, the more important reason why they were willing to buy Shaw Towers at a high price was to raise the land price in that area. .

   "Since they want to raise land prices, they must have new land in their hands?"

   "But does Huhua Real Estate still have so much cash in their hands?"

Regarding the cash flow of Huhua Real Estate, although Gu Chengxi does not have a specific amount, but according to the projects disclosed by Huhua Real Estate since its establishment, it can be seen that Huhua Real Estate has been developing projects until now, but Among the projects under development, the fastest one will be handed over in May of this year!

  So up to now, the funds of Huhua Real Estate have come from the stock market and the support of the parent company Jiahu Textile!

  But no matter how you look at it now, the cash spent by Huhua Real Estate is not like what Jiahu Textile can afford!

   After thinking for a while, Gu Chengxi decided to focus on this aspect of his report.

   "Hmph, next is you!"

   Putting aside the matter of Chu Tianxiao, Gu Chengxi took out a photo of Chu Huan, showing a smug expression.

   "What on earth are you thinking?"

   Gu Chengxi looked at Chu Huan in the photo and fell into deep thought. She can be said to be the first reporter to pay attention to the affairs of the Chu family. Naturally, she has a better understanding of the inside story of the Chu family.

  So Gu Chengxi would never believe anything, rumors that Chu Huan and Chu Tianxiao might reconcile.

In Gu Chengxi's view, the reason why Chu Huan has not fought back is because he has not found a better opportunity. At this time, Chu Huan should be like a patient hunter, hiding in an inconspicuous place, waiting His prey showed his flaws.

   As long as there is a flaw, Chu Huan will definitely attack with all his strength, so as to kill him with one blow!

  Compared to Chu Tianxiao, Gu Chengxi wants to report on Chu Huan!

  So after analyzing it, Gu Chengxi has already made a decision.

  She wants to investigate Chu Huan first!

  Thinking of this, Gu Chengxi got up straight away, picked up the camera she put on the table, and said to the colleague at the table next to her: "If the boss asks me, just say that I went to fantasy comics to interview Chu Huan!"

  Now some interested people know that Chu Huan has shifted his focus from black and white images to fantasy comics.

  So if you want to meet Chu Huan, who is erratic, it is easiest to go to Fantasy Comic Club.

Coming to Fantasy Comics, looking at the logo of Fantasy Comics behind the front desk, Gu Chengxi felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Even though Chu Huan refused her interview several times, Gu Chengxi still had to admit that Chu Huan is really the best among the young generation of Xiangjiang By.

   It has been a month and a half since the first issue of "Fantasy Comics" was released, and "Fantasy Comics" has also sold seven issues.

  According to news from some newspapers, the sales volume of a single issue of "Fantasy Comics" has exceeded 100,000 copies. This news is enough to shock many people who eat melons.

   This includes Gu Chengxi.

  She understood that if there were no accidents, Chu Huan would have succeeded in starting a business again.

  One success may be luck, and two successes may be good enough luck, but consecutive successes can no longer be attributed to luck alone, it is absolute strength!

However, the success of "Fantasy Comics" did not attract much attention in Xiangjiang. If it weren't for the fact that the founder is Chu Huan, a very topical character, the sales of "Fantasy Comics" in a single issue may have exceeded 100,000 copies. Nothing will be reported by the media.

   It is true that the comics industry is still somewhat unpopular in Xiangjiang. Even Huang Yulang, who was the most successful before, is only a businessman with a net worth of 10 to 20 million.

  For the billionaires in Xiangjiang, there is really nothing to report.

   "Today, whatever I say, the interview must be successful!"

   Gu Chengxi cheered himself up, then walked to the front desk and spoke with a smile.

   "Hello, I'm Gu Chengxi, a reporter from Cheng Pao. I made an appointment with Mr. Chu before, and I'm here to do an exclusive interview with Mr. Chu today!"

  In fact, Gu Chengxi did not contact Chu Huan, because she knew that Chu Huan would definitely not agree. The reason why she said this was just to sneak in and meet Chu Huan, and make a surprise attack!

  Fantasy comics front desk showed a puzzled look: "Sorry, our president didn't come today?"

"not coming?"

   Gu Chengxi froze for a moment, did he go to black and white video?

   "I'm sorry, I must have misremembered, Mr. Chu should have black and white video!"

   After finishing speaking, Gu Chengxi turned around and left.

   Gu Chengxi, who only came to the black and white video, still couldn't see Chu Huan, and Chu Huan was not in the black and white video either.

   "Where did the person go?"

   Gu Chengxi shook his head slightly, now it seems that there is only one place to find Chu Huan!

   Then Gu Chengxi took a taxi to Chu Huan's rented apartment!

   This was the last place she knew.

  About Chu Huan's residence, it was at the earliest time when Gu Chengxi first met Chu Huan, he investigated it.

   Originally, Gu Chengxi thought that according to Chu Huan's current net worth, even if he didn't buy a villa in Mid-Levels, he should buy a villa in a place like Repulse Bay or Deep Water Bay, but he didn't expect that Chu Huan would still live in such a place all the time.

   "It's not unreasonable for him to be successful!"

  Just arrived at Chu Huan's apartment, before Gu Chengxi got out of the car, he saw Chu Huan walking out of the corridor unsteadily, got in the car, and left directly.

  Gu Chengxi didn't have time to think about it, so he immediately asked the taxi to follow.

  Then Gu Chengxi saw Chu Huan's car coming all the way to the pier, and then Chu Huan got on the ferry to Haojiang!

   "What is he doing in Haojiang?"

   Gu Chengxi was a little puzzled, but she also knew that there must be no interview with Chu Huan today.

  Looking at the time, it was already afternoon, Gu Chengxi just remembered that he had forgotten the time in such a hurry.

  My stomach started to beat.

   After thinking about it for a while, Gu Chengxi took a taxi back to "Cheng Pao", but he didn't return to the company immediately, but came to a tea restaurant downstairs of the company, ready to settle his lunch.

   "Boss, a piece of steamed grouper, a piece of braised big wing, a bowl of rice!"

   Gu Chengxi, who had just walked into the tea restaurant, heard someone bragging about ordering this luxurious set meal in the tea restaurant.

  Journalists' professional habits made Gu Chengxi follow the voice, and he actually knew that person.

  Li Shichang.

   I'm in the same building as myself, but it's not an employee of "Sing Pao", but an employee of a trading company downstairs.

  Although the two are not in the same company, they are in the same building, upstairs and downstairs. They usually meet a lot, and occasionally chat for a few words.

   Gu Chengxi knew a little about Li Shichang's situation. He was usually a very frugal person, and he heard that his parents were just ordinary farmers in the New Territories.

   In the past, when I was having lunch, I had to think for a long time to buy a piece of bread, but now I am so generous?

   Li Shichang may have felt Gu Chengxi's gaze, raised his head, and then showed a bright smile. He was a little shy before, but now he waved and shouted.

   "A Xi!"

   Seeing the other party greet him proactively, Gu Chengxi walked over with a smile on his face, and teased, "Changzai, are you rich?"

  Li Shichang smiled reservedly: "It's nothing, just to celebrate!"

   Gu Chengxi asked, "What are you celebrating?"

   "Congratulations on my resignation!" Li Shichang said happily.

   Gu Chengxi was taken aback when he heard this. Li Shichang had told him before that he valued his current job very much. Why did he suddenly resign now?

   "Did you find a better job?"

   "No, I just don't want to serve that Miejue Shitai. I don't know anything every day, but I'm still willing to talk about it. I was upset with her before, and now it's impossible to serve her anymore!"

  Hearing what Li Shichang said, Gu Chengxi became even more curious.

   Obviously, today's Li Shichang is very eager to talk!

   Gu Chengxi didn’t need to ask, he just explained the reason. It turned out that Li Shichang was making money in the stock market.

   "The money I earn in a day in the stock market is more than my labor in a month, so why should I still suffer here!"

   At the end, Li Shichang preached proudly.

  Hearing what Li Shichang said, Gu Chengxi seemed to have seen those people who were with his mother on the trading floor today.

   "Chang Tsai, the Hong Kong government has issued several statements saying that the stock market is a bit overheated. This is an abnormal behavior. Some economists also analyze it in this way. Are you being too impulsive now?"

  Now that the two sides know each other and can be called friends, Gu Chengxi still wants to persuade Li Shichang not to let him be fooled by the illusion in front of him!

  Li Shichang is like Gu's mother this morning. After hearing what Gu Chengxi said, he didn't care, and was even a little proud.

"Ah Xi, you don't know that. The rise and fall of the stock price is market behavior. What do the people in the Hong Kong government know, and those so-called experts, I didn't notice them when I read the news before. predictions have come true.”

Having said that, Li Shichang continued to talk to Gu Chengxi proudly: "Ah Xi, look, who doesn't buy stocks now? I know you work for "Sing Pao", but you should be more courageous. Now everyone Investing money in the stock market, with so much money in the stock market, how could there be problems!

  Listen to me, hurry up and get in. Although you may earn less money in the market now, but like me now, it’s definitely no problem to fish for shark’s fin! "

  Gu Chengxi understood that this was another obsessed person, no matter what he said, the other party would not listen.

   Shaking his head, he said helplessly: "Then eat first!"

   After speaking, get up and leave!

   "Don't, I invite you!" Li Shichang didn't notice Gu Chengxi's expression.

   Gu Chengxi smiled and shook his head, "No need!"

Going back to my seat, I yelled to the waiter, but found that the waiter didn't come over at the first time. When I yelled the second time, the other party came over slowly, and then I still didn't forget to turn around and shout to the colleague behind me : "Don't forget to buy ten more lots for me when the market opens in the afternoon!"

   "I can't forget, but you have to invite a nightclub tonight!"

   "No problem, it's just a matter of raising the price a few times!"

Throughout the afternoon, Gu Chengxi was in a trance. Even when analyzing Chu Tianxiao's affairs, mistakes were often made. What appeared most in Gu Chengxi's mind was his mother's appearance at the exchange this morning, and the appearance of his mother at the stock exchange at noon. What happened in the tea restaurant.

   Are these people crazy, or are they unable to keep up with the times?

   For a while, Gu Chengxi even doubted whether his analysis was correct. Shouldn’t the one thing that everyone said was correct be the correct thing?

   When it was time to get off work, Gu Chengxi rarely did not work overtime, picked up his small bag, and hurried back to his home.

  As soon as I returned home, I smelled a tangy fragrance.

   Then I saw the bags of various clothes that were about to fill the living room, and the delicacies made of top ingredients such as grouper, abalone, and lobster in the restaurant.

   "Mommy, do you think my dress is beautiful?"

   Gu Xiaomei was wearing a pink pleated skirt at this time, and Gu Chengxi noticed that the price tag 699 hadn't been torn off yet!

   It has almost caught up with my one-month labor!

  Go to see the clothes in that place again?

   "Sister, you're back, come and see if the clothes I bought look good. By the way, I bought two for you and Mommy, so hurry up and change!"

   Gu Xiaomei happily went to find her Gu Chengxi, the clothes that Gu's mother bought!

   Not today~Thank you everyone~
