Chapter 37 The Puppy Tests People's Hearts
Far East Exchange, Chairman's Office.
Chen Guanjiang received a warm welcome from Li Fuzhao, who then made a phone call in person saying, "Mr. Chen, would you like a cup of Pu'er tea first? I'll be waiting for you at Taibaifang at 8 p.m. tonight."
"President Li, you can call me Little Chen A-Jiang, or even 'paparazzi'..." Chen Guanjiang continued waving his hand, "How could I dare let Mr. Li spend money? This meal is on me!"
"Don't be so polite!"
Li Fuzhao said with a smile, "I presumptuously call you Ah Jiang, but you can just call me Uncle Zhao. My nephew got the gold thanks to you."
Even though the Li Peicai family has not declined like the Zhou Yongtai family, the family is still on the rise, and the descendants can maintain their ambition. Cultivating a great lawyer is also an extremely demanding thing.
Since they have access to social resources to help them grow, reducing the need for family resources to nurture them, they naturally want to treat everyone to a meal to express their gratitude.
Although many people want to curry favor with the Li Pei Cai family and are willing to entrust their company business to Li Guo Neng, very few have entrusted such a large amount of funds.
After all, with the amount of funds Chen Guanjiang possesses, he could easily hire a senior-level barrister. Choosing Li Guoneng, who is at the junior level, is giving him an opportunity.
Moreover... Li Fuzhao had already noticed Chen Guanjiang.
Holding a puppy while trading stocks, a child who can make millions in minutes—this is a unique case in Hong Kong's securities industry, a truly eye-catching existence.
At first, Li Fuzhao thought Chen Guanjiang had been tricked into spending money.
Since MacLehose took office, those scoundrels and monsters of the 50s and 60s have racked their brains in every possible way to make money clean.
Therefore, Li Fuzhao sent people to investigate, hoping to follow the clues and find out who was behind Chen Guanjiang's instigation.
Ask him how he came up with the idea of sending a teenager to swipe money? And every time he comes, he even brings a dog.
The investigation results, however, left Li Fuzhao dumbfounded.
If it weren't for the relevant proof issued by Walmart, Li Fuzhao would never have believed that a documentary with a budget of HK$2000 could be edited into a film that grossed HK$200 million at the box office.
Of course, Li Fuzhao didn't care about a mere million Hong Kong dollars; the Far East Club had made a fortune in the past three years.
Who would have thought that the dairy stocks this person bought would soar to huge profits, earning tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars in just a few months.
What shocked Li Fuzhao even more was that Chen Guanjiang was not selling the previously acquired Dairy Farm shares, but rather Hongkong Land shares.
The shares being sold were not the 9.24 milk shares mentioned in the newspaper announcement, nor the 18.48 Hongkong Land shares that could be exchanged for twice that amount, but rather 36.96 Hongkong Land shares.
An ant first becomes a bedbug, then seizes the opportunity to quickly accumulate wealth and grows into a rabbit, but is called a mad dog because it repeatedly snatches food from the wolf's mouth.
Li Fuzhao disagreed with this statement, arguing that only rabid dogs are killed by wolves for stealing meat, while vicious dogs are those that steal meat multiple times and grow stronger.
Even if he didn't come knocking this time, Li Fuzhao was still eager to get to know Chen Guanjiang and tried to build a closer relationship by asking, "Ah Jiang, you have so much cash, are you going to speculate on stocks again?"
"Yes! Uncle Zhao, do you have any recommendations?" Chen Guanjiang asked with interest.
The Hang Seng Index has just broken through the 700-point mark, setting a new record high. It is in a precarious situation and could collapse at any time.
In fact, the Hang Seng Index will soar to over 1700 points in the next few months. With such a huge increase, you can make money by buying almost anything with your eyes closed.
Since the Hang Seng Index does not have futures, it is impossible to buy the entire market's gains, and no single stock can support such a large amount of capital.
Even Cheung Kong Holdings, which Li Ka-shing just listed, issued only 1050 million shares, raising HK$3150 million at HK$3 per share.
No leverage is needed; the existing funds are enough to absorb all the shares. But the problem is, who the hell will be the sucker after that? Sharks crowding into a turtle pond will only overflow and dry up and die along with them.
Chen Guanjiang has already formulated a strategy to invest in Chinese-owned real estate stocks, except for the four major British trading companies. He does not need any particular stock to be particularly good or bad, as long as the overall trend is upward.
As for why the four major British trading houses were excluded?
That's because Swire Group and Wheelock are "blue lanterns" that never change. Buying them and holding them long-term to earn dividends is fine, but don't expect to get something for nothing.
Hongkong Land's forced acquisition of Dairy Farm caused the share price of the Jardine Matheson Group to rise across the board, reaching its peak, while Hutchison Whampoa continued to expand through acquisitions, and its share price remained at a high point.
Although he already had an investment plan, Chen Guanjiang still wanted to hear the advice of the Far East Association president in order to discern whether Li Fuzhao and his family had good intentions or bad intentions towards him.
Li Fuzhao slowly began to suggest, "A Hong Kong antenna company is preparing for its IPO soon. Ah Jiang, you can subscribe to some shares. Remember to catch the early train, and jump ship when you've made your money!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Guanjiang smiled slightly.
This Hong Kong antenna stock is notorious. It's absurd that a newly established company with no business and not even started operating could go public and raise funds.
The company claimed that after raising funds through its IPO, it would develop an antenna that could receive television signals. However, citizens later discovered that simply erecting an iron wire was enough to receive the signal, demonstrating that the technology involved was completely unrelated.
Thus, the Hong Kong antenna became known as the "Hong Kong Crazy Line," which even became an international joke, used to describe those who were obsessed with the stock market after foreign capital withdrew.
"Oh? Why?" Chen Guanjiang was already certain that Li Fuzhao hadn't set a trap, otherwise he wouldn't have let him subscribe and then dump the shares as soon as possible.
Although Xiangjiang Antenna will eventually collapse and be delisted, those who withdraw in advance can reap considerable profits.
Do you know who the founders are?
Li Fuzhao handed over the documents with a mysterious smile and said, "It includes Professor Yue Xiuzhang from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, orthopedic expert Fang Xinrang, and Chen Pufen, the chairman of the Kowloon Society. Understand?"
“…………”
Chen Guanjiang took the prospectus and suddenly realized what was going on.
As a professor in the Department of Electronic and Computer Science, Le Xiuzhang represents the cutting edge of today's technology and has a technological aura that allows him to gain the trust of the poor.
Fang Xinrang, a renowned contemporary orthopedic surgeon, holds sixteen medical titles and eleven social titles, making him a figure sought after by the wealthy.
Chen Pu-fen established the Kowloon Stock Exchange at the beginning of the year, and it was incredibly easy for him to list a company. You could say that he made these dumplings just for this little bit of vinegar.
A platform that manipulates a company's IPO;
One person with connections is making a big show of it.
A famous investor tricked retail investors into buying his shares.
After receiving the money, the gentry returned all their money, while the common people's money was divided 30/70, with 70% still belonging to the gentry!
Subscribing to antenna stocks is tantamount to helping them build momentum. You can get a hefty return and also gain the friendship of the three fraudsters. Why not?
Li Fuzhao's actions can be seen as a reciprocal exchange: Chen Guanjiang provided Li Guoneng with resources to practice on, and the Li Peicai family reciprocated with information about the antenna stock. This is the resource exchange within the upper class...
