Chapter 107 The No. 1 Village in the World

   After calling Hong Kong to report his safety, Zhong Shi threw himself heavily on the big bed in the hotel, recalling what happened that day.

   This year, under the appeal of political strongmen, Huaxia accelerated the pace of opening up to the outside world, and foreign capital came to China mainland again as investors.

Correspondingly, the construction of Huaxia's capital market is also in full swing. In December 1990, the Lihai Stock Exchange opened for business. In the second year, Huaxia's second exchange opened in Shenhai. Commodity exchanges are also under planning, and a stock market will take shape in the next few years.

Compared with the mature and developed capital markets in foreign countries, China's capital market is now in its infancy, and various regulations are basically useless. In addition, investors are not familiar with the stock trading rules, making market makers call the wind and rain in the stock market. Each shows his talents.

Zhong Shi knew a very simple example of pulling up a stock. It was two or three years ago when an unknown old man bought 20,000 shares at a price exceeding 50% of the market price. By throwing away these stocks at a price lower than 30% of the market price, they earned more than double the profit from the book alone.

It was only later that people realized that the old man who was sitting in the bank must have absorbed enough chips at the market price at that time, and then used a price of about one million to drive the stock up, attracting many retail investors to enter the market to pick up the goods. During the process, he quietly put out the chips in his hands, and then polished the chips on the bright side at a time when it was about the same time, and finally locked in a large number of retail investors who took over.

   With such a simple trick, many stockholders were locked up, which shows how crazy and irrational the stockholders were at that time. Later, people who studied the Huaxia capital market called this transaction "the number one bank in the world".

  In today's capital market, due to the small number of shares issued and the low market value in circulation, it is easy for accounts with large funds to manipulate the fluctuations in stock prices, and the concept of value investing cannot be instilled at all. For such a market, Zhongshi holds a respectful attitude.

Sure enough, Zhang Wei had some energy. After hearing about Zhong Shi's purpose of finding someone, he managed to find the heads of several major newspapers in Nandu with a few phone calls. These people in charge heard that they were Hong Kong compatriots looking for lost relatives. Afterwards, expressions of embarrassment appeared on their faces. Newspapers in this era have not yet been marketized, and their reliance on advertising is not as strong as later, and they are quite conscious of mouthpieces.

However, after Zhong Shi auctioned the price of 100,000 yuan, the faces of these people changed immediately, and they all agreed to publish the notice of missing persons, and they still published it in the form of a full page on the sub-page. The contact number is the hotel where Zhong Shi lives.

  Zhong Shi planned to use a two-pronged approach. On the one hand, he would publish a missing person notice in the newspaper, and on the other hand, he would go to the family surnamed Wu to inquire. It's a pity that there are no private detectives in this era, so it would save him a lot of trouble.

However, according to Zhong Fangzhuo's memory, Zhong Shi finally found the family surnamed Wu after a lot of effort, but what was waiting for him was an old house that had long been dilapidated. Neighbors told Zhong Shi, this family has moved away from here a long time ago, no one knows exactly where they are, but it is said that they are still in this province.

   In desperation, Zhong Shi had no choice but to return to Nandu, hoping that the missing person notices published in newspapers across the province would give him some clues. After waiting for more than half a month, a call finally came this day.

   "Hi, hello, is this Mr. Zhong?" A timid girl's voice rang on the other end of the phone.

  Zhong Shi felt very strange. It stands to reason that his aunt is now at this age, and her child should be in her twenties. Why is there a childish voice on the microphone?

  Strange as it may be, Zhong Shi replied politely: "I am Mr. Zhong, who are you?"

   "You don't need to ask who I am, but are you looking for Ms. Zhong Jianli?" The childish voice on the phone was very cute, but the words were unnatural, as if reading from a manuscript.

"Yes! Yes! It's me. May I ask if you know her whereabouts?" Zhong Shi regained his energy when he heard this, and he faintly noticed that there was a deep breathing on the other end of the phone. That person might be the person he was looking for. people.

  There was a rustling sound from the other end of the phone, and a moment later the little girl said in a childlike voice, "Who are you? Where is Zhong Fangzhuo?"

   "My grandfather is very guilty of what happened back then. His old man is now in Hong Kong, and he is inconvenient to walk around, so he asked me, the grandson, to look for my aunt. Who are you?" Zhong Shi said quickly.

"Don't ask who I am. Tell him something for me. Since he was able to ruthlessly give away his own daughter back then, don't try to get it back now. Just pretend he doesn't have this daughter!" After another half a day, the voice of the child on the other end of the phone rang again, and faint sobs could still be heard.

   "The old man had a difficult time back then, and he couldn't say a few words clearly on the phone. Let's talk about it when we meet, okay, aunt." Zhong Shi hurriedly shouted into the phone.

"Auntie, how should I answer?" The child's voice sounded again, "Auntie, why are you crying? Mom said that no one likes crying children. Auntie, don't cry." Then a female voice sounded: "Beibei, isn't Auntie crying?" Crying, there is sand in the eyes, it’s okay.”

  Zhong Shi held the microphone blankly, listening to the conversation on the other end of the phone, feeling very uncomfortable. Before coming here, he had anticipated various outcomes, and the current situation was one of them. He had already thought up his words for this situation, but when things came to an end, he still found it difficult to speak up.

Sighing softly, he lit a cigarette silently, and said to the microphone, "Auntie, I know you are listening, and you must understand the situation at that time. Grandpa felt very guilty about what happened back then, When the family situation got better, he went to look for you, but he couldn't find it no matter how hard he searched. When grandma was leaving, she still couldn't forget your name..."

   "Stop talking!" A high-pitched, shrill female voice suddenly came from the other end of the phone, and then she asked in surprise, "What did you say? Why did Mom leave? She's only in her sixties!"

Zhong Shi lowered his voice, and after thinking for a while, he said helplessly: "The situation at home has not been very good, and it has only improved in the past two years. Grandpa has never told anyone else, so uncle and father still I thought you had passed away long ago. Now that I’ve managed to live a good life for a few days, my grandpa remembered what happened back then, and I felt depressed and depressed. The doctor said..."

   "Say what?" The female voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became hurried.

"Auntie, you still care about grandpa, right?" Zhong Shi seized the opportunity and said hastily, "Grandpa's health is fine, but he fell ill because of longing. The doctor said that if he can't get rid of his knot in time , After a long time, there will be big problems in the body."

   "It's fine! It's fine!" The female voice on the phone said with some fear.

   "Auntie, let's meet!" Zhong Shi said while the iron was hot.

  After a long silence, there was an inaudible sigh from the other end of the phone, and then the female voice sounded again: "Okay, but don't expect me to change anything, just treat it as my meeting this nephew."

Zhong Shi was ecstatic, and hurriedly made an appointment for the meeting place and time, and then called his family in Hong Kong to tell them that his grandfather's concerns had been resolved. Liu Lan who answered the phone was also very happy, but at the end told him to come back early, the blue-eyed The foreigner has been looking for him many times.

   "The blue-eyed foreigner? It's Andrew! What does he want from me?" Zhong Shi thought after hanging up the phone, and was about to call Andrew.

   "Andrew, I heard that you are looking for me, what's the matter?"

   "Zhong Sheng, the people from the private bank came to you and said that the counterparty of the Swiss franc transaction last time wanted to close the position by agreement, and now they are urgently seeking your opinion!" Andrew said on the phone in a hurry.

   CHF? It was only then that Zhong Shi remembered that there was such a thing. It has been more than a month since the contract was signed, and the hedge funds must have started to do it. After the British pound and the lira withdraw from the European exchange rate system, the currencies of some countries with fixed exchange rate systems such as Eastern Europe and Northern Europe will also be attacked.

   "Agreement to close the position, how can there be such a good thing?" Zhong Shi snorted. A currency crisis like this may take a year until the next one, and hedge funds will continue to attack the European exchange rate system. However, with the joint efforts of the remaining countries in the European exchange rate system, there will be no currency similar to the British pound, the lira, etc. Huge drop off.

   "Okay, but the delivery is approaching, so hurry up and come back, there are still some documents that you need to sign!" Andrew reminded.

   "Hey, what's the matter? If I have to do everything myself, what do I need a private bank to do? Let them come to the mainland to find me!" Zhong Shi hung up the phone with a snap after leaving his contact information.

Soon, a call came from the private bank, and Lu Fei said excitedly on the phone: "Mr. Zhong, your contract has now made a profit of 150 million US dollars, and the counterparty wants to stop the loss and leave the market now." , My personal suggestion is that you accept it as soon as you see it, and put the profit in your pocket first."

   "I don't need you to teach me how to trade. Please contact me when the Swiss franc falls below 0.7!" Zhong Shi said angrily.

According to his knowledge, the Swiss franc will soon fall below the price of 0.7, and even fell to 0.65 at the lowest point. There will be a lot of profit.

  After hearing Zhong Shi's scolding, Lu Fei didn't dare to say anything, and hung up the phone after a few words of greeting.
