The Son of Finance of the Great Age

  Chapter 436 "Hong Kong government" bailout

   "Boss, what about the good news you said?"

  Shortly after the closing bell rang, most people were still immersed in the joy of the skyrocketing Hong Kong stock market, a trader who had regained his composure asked Zhong Shi loudly.

  Following the sound of this question, the trading hall, which was still full of people, immediately fell silent. Everyone's eyes turned to Zhong Shi, waiting for his answer with complex expressions.

Although driven by their efforts on this day, Hong Kong stocks rarely rebounded against the market, but after calming down a little, they immediately realized that this method of simply relying on funds to promote the index rise is not reliable, or , It cannot really and permanently change the market situation.

  If there is no major good news from our own side, the upward momentum caused by the stock market today will be like a passing cloud, and will soon dissipate without a trace.

  So after reacting, everyone turned their attention to Zhong Shi, naturally hoping that he could fulfill his previous promise. With a smile on his face, Zhong Shi swayed his slender fingers towards everyone, signaling them not to worry, then took out his mobile phone from his pocket, fiddled with it, and pointed to the opposite wall.

  Looking at his fingers, everyone realized that Andrew, who looked like a dog in a suit and leather shoes on the TV on the wall, was still talking about today's market information at the guest table. It's just that on the screen, he has a solemn expression and a dignified tone, and he is completely different from his usual witty remarks and hype comments.

  Although I think Andrew's performance today is very strange, what does his performance have to do with today's good news? Just when everyone was puzzled, Andrew suddenly lowered his head and looked at his waist. When he raised his head again, a smile had already appeared on Andrew's face.

"Mr. Andrew, what do you think of today's market conditions?" The beautiful female anchor immediately noticed this detail, and after waving her hand to interrupt another guest's chatter, she turned to ask Andrew with a look of embarrassment on her face, " As far as I know, there is not too strong good news in the Hang Seng market today. Moreover, the markets in the United States and Europe fell to varying degrees last night because of the remarks made by the financial tycoon Soros. It can be said that these are all Extremely unfavorable news. However, the Hong Kong stock market has risen sharply today, which makes people feel unbelievable. Based on your professional judgment, what do you think is the reason?"

"This question..." Andrew pretended to be thinking, and after pondering for a moment, he suddenly raised his head and smiled, "As for the reason, please don't guess! Now let me solve the mystery. My informant told me that the reason why the stock market rose today was because the Hong Kong government took decisive action and used funds to save the currently sluggish Hang Seng Index.”

"what?"

  The female anchor, who has been calm and dignified in front of the camera, couldn't sit still immediately, and asked repeatedly: "Mr. Andrew, is what you said true? Is it true that the Hong Kong government is bailing out the market? Why?"

  At this moment, her expression can be described as pale.

  As a professional host and reporter of a financial channel, basic financial knowledge reserve is necessary, but Jian Shuxian's professional level is far more than that. Before joining the TV station, she was a professional analyst in an investment bank, but because she couldn't bear the high-intensity work for many years and wanted to give full play to her beauty, she gave up her job with an annual salary of up to millions and turned to Joined the ranks of TV anchorwomen.

   It is precisely because of her experience working in the front line of finance that Jian Shuxian's reaction was so great after hearing Andrew's remarks on bailing out the market. In her impression, Hong Kong has always been famous for its "free trade", but now the Hong Kong government intends to give up this title and directly intervene in the market. This kind of strong contrast has already made her ignore that this is a live broadcast, and she almost lost her composure and questioned Andrew in front of the camera.

   It was another male guest who had the same reaction as her. The camera clearly captured the extremely shocked expression on Andrew's face after he said the Hong Kong government's bailout remarks. But he didn't say anything, but a pair of eyes began to roll around, and the expression on his face was also changing, he didn't know what he was thinking.

   At the same time, among the crowd watching the show, exclamations erupted with mixed reactions. After the initial amazement, people who reacted quickly pulled out their phones one after another. Some of them looked around to confirm the news, while others directly called their brokers and asked to cover their positions tomorrow regardless of the cost.

   "Isn't he talking nonsense?"

In Tianyu Fund, however, the voice of anger was louder than the voice of exclamation. After experiencing the initial shock, someone quickly reacted and yelled at Andrew on TV, even though they knew very well that Andrew did not listen Not to their angry questioning.

  The funds supporting the entire market today all come from Tianyu Fund. As far as they know, Tianyu Fund does not have any shares from the government at all. So they couldn't accept Andrew's statement at all.

   Only a very small number of people made this kind of voice, and the vast majority of people showed extremely puzzled expressions on their faces, discussing in a low voice. However, only a few people looked at Zhong Shi thoughtfully. They remembered the sudden visit by Ren Yigang, the president of the HKMA some time ago.

   "Everyone, please be quiet!"

Zhong Shi waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then he took a meaningful look at Andrew on TV before continuing, "What I said about Andrew is actually what I meant. What I didn't tell you before is that I Reached a secret agreement with the Hong Kong government. The main content of this agreement is that I will use the funds of Tianyu Fund to support the market, of course in the name of the Hong Kong government. The Hong Kong government will use other measures and means to crack down on international speculators, acquiescing Our big buy."

   "But even if we don't make deals with them, we can still buy a lot, can't we?" Before Zhong Shi's voice fell, someone immediately questioned. Soon other people realized it too, and nodded their heads in agreement.

  Zhong Shi nodded in agreement, but the next moment he asked back: "Have you ever thought that if we don't cooperate with them, we might spread such news?"

   As he spoke, he pointed to the TV hanging on the wall, where Andrew was still talking.

"I believe everyone should know that as long as the Hong Kong government acquiesces and does not deny it publicly, then how powerful this news will be!" Seeing that the person who questioned him shut his mouth wisely, Zhong Shi said while the iron was hot, "As long as we Continue to buy in the market, the power of this news will always be there, at least until the end of August, the entire market will be excited by this news. Of course, in September, it will be another situation!"

"You're right!" After a long time, another person finally stood up and asked, "It's just Zhong Sheng, if we can absorb more low-priced stocks before that, combined with today's news, how can we Don't you earn more?"

  Although he didn't say it clearly, he already hinted between the lines that Zhong Shi's previous operations were still somewhat conservative.

   It’s just that he may have forgotten that before that, including Zhongshi’s right-hand man Ma Jiarui and Ren Ruowei, they all had an extremely pessimistic mood towards the market, and thought it was not a wise choice to confront international speculators. The only purchase of billions of Hong Kong dollars was completed under Zhong Shi's "stubborn" request.

"I didn't know the bottom of the Hong Kong stock market's decline, and I didn't know the follow-up measures of international speculators until last night!" Zhong Shi said lightly, without any intention of reversing old scores, but he quickly revealed something that made everyone feel ashamed "Furthermore, in order to keep everyone's earnings for the past few years, I have to be careful, right?"

   "Then what follow-up action is there?" After a long silence, someone finally stood up and asked again.

Seeing these employees whose mental outlook had obviously changed, Zhong Shi nodded with a smile, waved his hand, and said proudly: "After today, stimulated by this news, the Hang Seng Index will definitely rebound quite a bit. We There is no need to support the market as much as today, but the monitoring and support of the market cannot be relaxed for a moment. The daily purchase quota of 1 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus the liquidity limit of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, is the minimum for our operation .After all, although there is news to be released, we can't miss this opportunity to make money, right!"

"right!"

   What he answered was a burst of excited roars. With this news, it is enough to make up for the pressure on the Hang Seng market caused by the strong attack of international speculators, and the traders naturally regained their confidence in the market outlook.

  …

   "Director Cen, may I ask if the recent rumors that the Hong Kong government rescued the Hang Seng market is true?"

Not long after Andrew broke the news, a large number of reporters gathered in front of the office building of the Hong Kong Government in Central, and when Cen Yinquan appeared, these reporters rushed forward regardless of the obstruction. Surround him tightly.

"Hong Kong's economic prospects are good, the international balance of payments is balanced, and there is no foreign debt problem!" Cen Yinquan tried to squeeze out, while answering the reporter's question with a smile, "Therefore, it is unreasonable for international speculators to speculate on Hong Kong dollars, but they Just doing so just shows that they have ulterior motives."

"But Director Cen, you haven't answered the question just now. Are the rumors about the Hong Kong government's rescue of the city true?" The reporters ignored Cen Yinquan's "big shift in the universe" and asked stubbornly .

Under the protection of bodyguards, Cen Yinquan had barely squeezed in front of the car, but after hearing this question again, he turned around, faced the long guns and short cannons, and said solemnly: "The Hong Kong government and myself are responsible for the rumors about the market. None of them have the task of clarifying or confirming these rumors. But what I have to tell all Hong Kong citizens is that no matter what decision the Hong Kong government makes, its ultimate goal is for the overall interests of Hong Kong and the interests of the six million citizens. We I have the confidence and determination to defeat the international speculators. And I promise here that I will never waste every penny of taxpayers’ public money.”

   Having said that, Cen Yinquan has already said all he wanted to express. After saying "sorry" to the reporters, he got into the car and walked away under the "watching" of spotlights and cameras.

"Hey, what exactly does he mean?" A reporter who just entered the industry tugged on the sleeves of the people around him while others were not paying attention, and muttered softly, "Brother Li, why do I think he doesn't care about everything?" Didn’t you say it? Did the Hong Kong government use funds to prop up the market?”

"You still don't understand?" the older reporter named "Brother Li" replied with disdain as he quickly jotted it down in his sketchbook. Divide public money', that's what he's going to tell us. If no funds were used to support the market, why would he add such a sentence? Isn't that obvious? You, you are still too young and naive!"

   Thanks to the book friends for letting me think about voting for the monthly ticket! Thanks Ge Shangting for the evaluation vote! Thank you all book friends very much. Your support has given me great motivation. Although I have been very busy recently, I will do my best to persevere~
