Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 84 Becoming the richest man in Hong Kong!

I don't know whether it was instructed by HSBC's senior management, or someone inside the bank was jealous, or whether it was for the information fee.

The news that Fang Hexuan made a huge profit of 230 Hong Kong dollars in this global gold bull market was sold to the media.

On January 1980, 1, the South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s most authoritative English newspaper, published a news story on its front page:

Exclusive news! Wanda boss Fang Hexuan made HK$230 billion from gold speculation, becoming the richest man in Hong Kong!

The article below the title details Fang Hexuan's legendary journey from imprisonment to his current status.

Even the details of his purchase of gold futures, including the two incredible operations in the middle, were not missed.

The article concludes that if nothing unexpected happens, Fang Hexuan will be ranked as the richest man in Hong Kong on the Forbes list this year.

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Hong Kong people's obsession and desire for wealth may be the craziest in Asia.

On that day, the South China Morning Post was sold out!

You know, this newspaper has never ranked among the top ten in sales in Hong Kong.

The reason is that it is too high-end.

Basically, it was watched by British Hong Kong government officials and upper-class people in society.

For ordinary middle and lower class citizens, reading "Tiantian Daily" and "Oriental Daily" is considered to be concerned about current affairs.

But today, with exclusive news, everyone wants to know how the "wealth myth" happened.
This mid- to high-end newspaper has a circulation of over 20 copies.

As soon as Fang Hexuan learned the news, he left Wanda and slipped away.

If you don't run away now, are you going to be besieged and harassed by reporters?
On January 1, almost all newspapers in Hong Kong published the news that Fang Hexuan earned 23 billion Hong Kong dollars.

In order to be different, some newspapers even interviewed some famous Feng Shui masters in Hong Kong.
Ask them to explain “Why Fang Hexuan earned a fortune that an ordinary person could never earn in his entire lifetime when he was less than 20 years old”.

Some newspapers also interviewed Fang Hexuan's former neighbors in Chongqing Building.

Ask them what was different about Mr. Fang when he was a child.

The two TV stations on Mount Wutai were not to be outdone and sent reporters to the house where Fang Hexuan's family once lived for a full-scale live broadcast.

Some of Fang Hexuan's classmates and teachers were also surrounded and intercepted by reporters.

"Classmate, do you know if Fang Hexuan has any secret learning methods?"

"Teacher, do you think Fang Hexuan is so smart because of education or because his brain is different from that of ordinary people?"

Some publishing houses even hired ghostwriters to temporarily piece together the template of success studies.

He published various miscellaneous books such as "The Success Guide of Mr. Fang", "How the Richest Man Was Made?", "Learn from Fang Hexuan, Your Children Can Become Billionaires!", and "The Biography of Fang Hexuan".

Not to mention, there are actually parents or people who dream of getting rich who buy them.

What is even more ridiculous is that several people pretended to be Fang Hexuan's biological father in front of reporters.
Twenty years ago, he had a brief romance with Lu Qiaoling!
This puts the reporter in a dilemma!
If reported, Fang Hexuan would definitely sue him.

If we don't report it, such hot news with great topicality will be wasted.

All the places where Fang Hexuan might appear were blocked by reporters.

The senior executives and employees of Wanda Real Estate, DreamWorks Movies, and Pokémon were also confused.

Why did I suddenly feel that the world above me had changed?
Oh, it turns out the sky is bluer!
The small boss became a domineering president and the richest man in Hong Kong.
After get off work, I can brag about it to my relatives and friends and feel very proud!
The three companies also suddenly received a large number of job applications.

There were even people gathering at the company gate asking if they needed any more employees!
At this time, employees basically don't want to resign. Even if they had thought about it before, they suddenly feel that -

It’s so nice to be an employee of Mr. Fang, the richest man in the country!
There are also some worries. Some public groups in Hong Kong have come to beg for alms from the new richest man.

Formal institutions such as the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals still have some dignity.
But other organizations like Christian churches, human rights organizations, environmental organizations, animal protection organizations, etc. wrote to Fang Hexuan eagerly.
Please ask him to donate to this group!

It can be said that in less than two years, Fang Hexuan became the richest water pipe in Hong Kong.

This is really a nuclear bomb-level news.

It really shocked the three perspectives of Hong Kong people!

The effect was dozens of times more sensational than his previous acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa shares.

This super shocking news was felt even in the mainland.

On the day when the Jiuhua Society Hong Kong Branch published the news in the South China Morning Post,

We sent someone to carefully verify the source and authenticity of the information.

The results they obtained were unbelievable even to themselves.

They quickly reported the situation back to the mainland.

There was no movement in mainland newspapers and television stations.
However, the South China Morning Post report was reprinted verbatim in the government's internal publication.

In particular, Yuesheng and Ningbo Office reacted most excitedly.

In March last year, Bao'an County, adjacent to Hong Kong, was approved by the central government to establish SZ City.

Internal sources say that it will be upgraded to the "Shenzhen Special Economic Zone" this year, which is a sub-provincial city level.

Last year, news came back from Hong Kong that a Hong Kong man named Fang wanted to invest in building a factory to manufacture cars in Shenzhen.

At that time, they didn't take it seriously. After all, it was obvious that this would cost a lot of money.

Moreover, last year, there was no sign of Hong Kong businessmen moving their factories north on a large scale.

But now, they really believe it.

The people from Ningbo Office grinned:
"I just received Mr. Fang last year.
In just one year, Mr. Fang transformed himself into the richest man in the country.
It really feels like the world has changed so much!
Mr. Fang is also a patriotic entrepreneur who loves his hometown.
The leaders of our office saw this last year.”

It can be said that Fang Hexuan's wealth of tens of billions has directly raised his barrel war value by several levels!
This astonishing news of wealth acquisition did not stop at Hong Kong and the mainland.
It also spread wildly to Asia and around the world.

In Asia, Singapore's Lianhe Zaobao and Straits Times, Thailand's Bangkok Post, Malaysia's Star, Indonesia's Jakarta Post, the Philippines' Manila Times, Taiwan's United Daily News and China Times, Japan's NHK, Asahi Shimbun and Yomiuri Shimbun have all reported on Fang Hexuan and his god-like speed in making his fortune.

Fang Hexuan has become completely famous in Asia.

European and American countries, on the other hand, emphasized in their reports that he made a huge profit of $46 billion during the gold bull market.

This time, gold prices rose sharply and then fell, causing many people who wanted to speculate to lose everything.

Those who took over the blame were naturally angry.

This kind of news is actually telling them——

Look, this Asian guy made your money!

And the middle and lower classes who are still in the economic crisis have even more reason to hate the rich.
