LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 771 Billionaires
"Stock market crash" is undoubtedly an extremely scary word for Hong Kong's old stock investors.
Prior to this, there had been three stock market crashes in Hong Kong, namely in 1967, 1973 and 1981. These three stock market crashes had a huge impact on Hong Kong. Countless companies went bankrupt and countless investors lost their money, and even jumped from high places. Down.
However, Hong Kong investors still underestimated the power of this "stock market crash". With the rapid collapse of the US stock market, the entire Hong Kong stock market was in mourning.
Especially when the Hong Kong government announced that the market would be closed for four days on October 20, the already frightened investors became even more panicked. So after the Hong Kong stock market reopened on October 26, the entire market fell into a crazy decline - panic intensified - An endless cycle of further decline.
In just fifteen minutes after the market opened, the Hang Seng Index fell by 650 points. On the same day, the Hang Seng Index fell by 1,120 points, a drop of more than 33%, setting a record for the largest decline in the history of Hong Kong stocks.
This is just the beginning. Every day after the market opens, it will undoubtedly be painful for every Hong Kong stockholder. They can only watch their assets shrink and shrink again. The entire market is filled with a pessimistic mood.
Of course, there are also some bold "adventurers" trying to make money in this crazy falling stock market. The stock market also showed a rebound trend for a time, but it was soon beaten by the ruthless wave of selling and couldn't take care of itself.
The most famous among them is the previously famous stock market sniper Liu Luanxiong. It is said that he suffered a direct loss of up to one billion Hong Kong dollars in this stock market crash.
Not only the stock market, but also derivatives with financial attributes such as property market, gold, foreign exchange, etc. have also experienced large-scale stampedes due to the impact of the stock market crash.
It is worth mentioning that in Hong Kong, most people who believe in money games like stocks often also play real estate, gold and foreign exchange. When the market conditions are good, they naturally make a lot of money, but when encountering This kind of stock market crash, which has only happened once in decades, can only be described in one word: miserable.
As of December 7, 1987, the Hang Seng Index had fallen from 3949 points on October 1 to 1876 points. And judging from the impact of previous U.S. stock market crashes on financial markets around the world, this stock market crash is far from over. when.
Stock broker Wang Wei looked at Qin Hao with a pale face: "Qin Sheng, do you want to throw away the contract?"
"Throw it away."
Qin Hao's words cheered up Wang Wei.
“Is Hong Kong stock market going to pick up?”
On December 15th, all Qin Hao's buy and sell contracts were sold out, and 115 million Hong Kong dollars quietly lay in his stock account.
This is all his income from the stock market crash.
In just two months, from 23 million to 115 million, this is the charm of the financial market. Getting rich overnight may be a myth in other places, but in the financial market, it is just a normal example, inspiring one after another to fantasize. The restless soul of getting rich, one after another.
Of course, most people will not notice that there are piles of bones under the altar. Only a small group of people can climb up the altar and become a myth.
In the past two months, Liu Sen's life has not been easy. The Liu family's industries span finance, real estate, and catering. Naturally, they cannot escape the impact of the stock market crash. Liu Sen is also very worried about this, and he is fighting fires everywhere.
The only thing that makes Liu Sen feel gratified is that the operation of "Hema" has not been affected by the stock market crash, and the number of members has even increased.
Liu Sen was also puzzled by this.
"It's actually very simple. The worse the economy is, the less resistant people are to high-quality and cheap things."
"Although Hema needs to pay a membership fee of RMB 100 first, the money saved if you shop more frequently is definitely worth it. Smart Hong Kong people know how to calculate this account."
"Also, don't forget one of the characteristics of Hong Kong people - they like to pretend. The less money they have in their pockets, the more they have to use something to satisfy their vanity. It is precisely Hema's entry threshold that has become their fig leaf. "
Although he grew up in Hong Kong and has a strong sense of belonging to Hong Kong, Liu Sen had to admit that Qin Hao's analysis was profound.
"By the way, I'm going back to Shanghai next month. How are you doing at work there?"
Liu Sen smiled bitterly and said: "There was no such stock market crash. It was really not easy to convince those old guys. This time they finally understood that the Hong Kong market is too small and is greatly affected by the European and American markets, so they agreed to your plan." .”
This was really an unexpected surprise. Qin Hao stretched out his hand to Liu Sen: "Then I wish us a happy cooperation again?"
“A pleasure to work with.”
On New Year's Day in 1988, Qin Hao and Liu Sen boarded a flight back to Shanghai. This was also Liu Sen's first visit to the mainland.
"Welcome Mr. Liu to Shanghai."
As a Hong Kong businessman, China Merchants Group paid high attention to Liu Sen. Director Wu and Director Zhao personally came to the airport to greet him that day.
Liu Sen exchanged a few greetings in half-baked Mandarin, and then the group arrived at the Peace Hotel.
Abao knew that Liu Sen was coming and was waiting at the Peace Hotel early in the morning. When the elevator door opened and the two brothers met, they both showed knowing smiles. Although they grew up in completely different environments and had never lived together, But this is the power of blood connection.
However, in front of outsiders, Abao still kept a distance from Liu Sen. He just looked at each other and smiled, then his eyes fell on Qin Hao.
"Ahao, you're back."
"Well, how's it going?"
"It's not bad. That old mage really has two brushes. I learned a lot from him." Abao said in a low voice.
Qin Hao secretly laughed, those were more than just two brushes, his uncle was comparable to a "Golden Finger".
After a brief exchange of greetings, Abao went about his own business and just made an appointment to have dinner together in the evening.
Later, after Qin Hao and Liu Sen put away their luggage, they had a meal at the Peace Hotel with Director Wu and Director Zhao. The conversation at the dinner table was naturally inseparable from investment.
When Director Wu learned that Qin Hao had prepared an initial investment of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, the smile on his face became even wider.
At the same time, Qin Hao also received good news. The land originally planned to be used to build a commercial complex has been approved. It is located at the junction of Nanjing Road and Huanghe Road, and construction can start at any time.
After a great meal, both the host and the guest had a good time. Director Wu and Director Zhao finally gave up after drinking too much. Of course, Liu Sen also drank too much. In the end, it was Qin Hao who sent him back to his room.
"I've heard before that you can't get anything done in the Mainland without drinking, but I finally saw it today." Liu Sen opened the buttons of his shirt and complained while breathing heavily.
Qin Hao smiled and joked: "Today this is just a small private scene. When the day of the foundation laying, you will understand what enthusiasm is."
"Then you have to tell me early and I will buy a ticket to go back in advance, otherwise I will have to stay in Shanghai."
While we were chatting, the doorbell rang. When we opened it, we saw that it was Ah Bao with hangover soup in his hand.
Liu Sen was not polite. He took the hangover soup and drank it in one gulp. His condition seemed to be better.
Qin Hao didn't bother the brothers anymore to reminisce about old times, found an excuse and went back to his room to rest.
Qin Hao quickly fell asleep after working on boats and carts and drinking wine, and didn't wake up until Abao knocked on the door.
"You're recovering well. It seems that your drinking capacity still has room for improvement." Qin Hao teased with a smile when he saw that Liu Sen had returned to his noble state.
Liu Sen rolled his eyes when he heard this: "I'd better guard Hema in Hong Kong, and I'll leave the mainland market to you."
After the fun, Qin Hao and Abao took Liu Sen to browse the scenery of the Huangpu River. Along the way, everything Liu Sen saw was novel, and he also made a lot of jokes. For example, he saw some people burning briquettes. I couldn't figure out what this was doing. When I learned that it was burning a fire for cooking, I was still wondering why it wasn't using natural gas.
"There is currently no natural gas pipeline in the mainland."
After listening to Abao's explanation, Liu Sen couldn't help but his eyes lit up. In his opinion, this was undoubtedly a huge business opportunity.
But Qin Hao soon poured cold water on him: "This is not Hong Kong. For projects like this that involve people's livelihood, private enterprises are generally not allowed to intervene in the early stage, let alone the current income level of mainland residents. , I simply can’t afford the high fees for natural pipes to enter my house, and now I don’t even have to wear my underwear to do this.”
Liu Sen couldn't help but sigh after hearing this: "It seems that I still know too little about the mainland."
After shopping around, Qin Hao and Abao took Liu Sen to Huanghe Road for dinner, where Tao Tao had already reserved a table.
Jin Meilin's proprietress was waiting at the door early in the morning. She was so enthusiastic when she saw Qin Hao and his entourage that after she left the box, Liu Sen asked Qin Hao in Cantonese: "Who is this fat woman?"
Qin Hao was drinking water and almost choked, but after talking about it, Lu Meilin seemed to have gained a lot of weight.
"Brother, this is my best brother Tao Tao."
Liu Sen held Tao Tao's hand: "I often hear Ahao and Abao mention you. Since you are their brother, you are my Liu Sen's brother. If you need anything, just ask."
"Yes." Tao Tao was so moved that in order to express his enthusiasm, he offered Liu Sen three glasses of wine. At that time, Liu Sen's expression changed. Qin Hao hid aside and snickered. It was rare to see Liu Sen eating twice in one day. hold back.
There was no doubt that Liu Sen drank too much during this meal and almost didn't get up the next day.
When Qin Hao called him up, he was still rubbing his head. However, after learning that he was going to inspect the land, Liu Sen still washed his face with cold water and steeled himself to change his clothes. He was still elegant and elegant. With the image of a young master, I have to admit that the Liu family's education for him was very successful.
At the entrance of the Peace Hotel, the car prepared by Zhao Chu had been waiting for a long time. The group arrived at the junction of Nanjing Road and Huanghe Road.
Zhao Chu pointed to a low house in front of him and the low land behind: "Mr. Qin and Mr. Liu's land covers an area of 24,000 square meters. Are you sure you want to develop it all?"
Liu Sen subconsciously looked at Qin Hao. Qin Hao took the drawing and said to Zhao Chu with a smile: "Even if it is twice as big, we can still develop it. It depends on whether Zhao Chu is willing to approve it for us."
Director Zhao smiled bitterly: "Don't be ridiculous, Mr. Qin. There is no such a large area of land in Puxi now. We coordinated with several departments to get it."
At this time, the core area of Shanghai is still in Puxi, and Pudong is still a suburb. There is a saying in Shanghai: I would rather have a bed in Puxi than a room in Pudong. Although they are both Shanghai, they are completely different.
"Mr. Qin, look, when can we start construction?" Director Zhao mentioned the issue he was most concerned about again. Now that the contract has been signed, if Qin Hao suddenly withdraws his capital and quits, it is estimated that he, the director, will only be able to work until retirement. .
"As long as the three connections and one level are completed, construction can start at any time. In addition, the initial HKD 50 million has been remitted to the company's account in the mainland and is expected to arrive next week."
After hearing this, Director Zhao finally let go of his worries and immediately said that as long as the capital verification is completed, the construction team will be able to enter the site immediately.
The so-called three connections and one leveling actually refer to electricity, water, access and ground leveling. Don’t underestimate these basic projects. They can not only save money, but also save enterprises a lot of trouble. This is also a preferential treatment for foreign investment. Generally, private enterprises can No such treatment.
A week later, 50 million Hong Kong dollars arrived, which was 35 million yuan according to the exchange rate. After director Zhao personally verified the capital and reviewed it, the engineering team immediately entered the scene.
Later, Liu Sen saw the efficiency of the infrastructure madman for the first time. In just 25 days, 24,000 square meters were completed with three connections and one level.
This also gave Liu Sen a shot in the arm, making him more confident that the mainland market would definitely develop.
Such a large-scale construction, and being located on the roadside in Nanjing, naturally attracted the attention of many Shanghai people.
"What is going to be built with such a big movement? Is there going to be another five-star hotel in Shanghai?"
"No, I heard that a new department store is going to be opened."
"Nonsense, how can there be such a big department store? Hulian Commercial Building is not even one-tenth of that."
"Anyway, no matter what it is, this boss must have a strong background. How much will it cost to build such a large area?"
Liu Sen stood on the balcony of a three-story building opposite, looking at the dusty construction site not far away. His excitement was beyond words: "Ah Hao, working with you is the most correct decision I have ever made in my life."
Qin Hao just smiled lightly, without any hint of humility.
A month later, Liu Sen boarded a flight back to Hong Kong. This trip to Shanghai was undoubtedly fruitful for him. He not only spent more than a month getting along with his biological parents, but also saw a business with unlimited possibilities in the future. The complex comes from nothing.
After sending Liu Sen away, Qin Hao spent almost every day at the construction site. It wasn't that he didn't want to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but the main reason was that the construction team was still very unprofessional at this period. He didn't want to build a shoddy project and make no money in the end. Arrive and become a wanted criminal.
Under Qin Hao's strict supervision, the construction team complained endlessly. Once problems were discovered, they immediately reworked. Qin Hao's methods of fooling laymen had nowhere to hide. The experience in the construction industry accumulated in the "Golden Years" world was put to use at this moment. use.
Of course, Qin Hao is not just finding faults. The construction team spends not a penny less than the construction team. Food is also strictly controlled. As the boss of Party A, he eats in the canteen with the workers every day, who dares to deduct food expenses?
Busy time always flies by. Eight months have passed in the blink of an eye, and a three-story building with a peculiar shape and a height of 18 meters has been built.
