Hong Kong Movies: You Hongxingzi, what the hell is the charity king?

Chapter 237 Chapter 236

Chapter 237 "236" plus ~
The supermarket, which should have been bustling with people, has now become much quieter. There are not so many people here, and it is just sparsely populated.

"impossible!"

Charlie Zhou's face changed, and he quickly found the cashier and pulled him aside to ask.

“Are there fewer customers today?”

"Mr. Zhou, it's really strange today. There are a lot fewer customers. Usually, all 10 cash registers are working, and there are always four or five people queuing to pay. But today, only five people are working, and there are not many people queuing to pay."

"Do you know why?"

"I don't know, Mr. Zhou, I've been at my post the whole time."

"Okay, continue working!"

Charlie Zhou was shocked: Could it be that the promotion really stopped those customers from coming?

incredible!

It feels so surreal!

Charlie Zhou asked a few more cashiers about the situation.

One of the cashiers hesitated and said, "Mr. Zhou, this evening when I went to the restaurant next door to eat, I heard someone promoting a boycott of our supermarket, and there were also flyers... I don't know if it's because of this."

Charlie Zhou frowned: "You saw it too? In the restaurant next door?"

The cashier nodded: "Yes."

Charlie Zhou was furious. The other party was advertising openly in the restaurant next door. It was too arrogant.

Walked out of the supermarket.

then……

Just on the side of the road in front of the supermarket, I saw two old men handing out flyers to passers-by on the street.

"My neighbor, are you from Wan Chai?"

"Yes."

"That's one of our own... Our grandfather has been bullied by the Li family. We are going to boycott Baijia Supermarket... We hope to get support from many neighbors..."

"Please refer to the brochure for details..."

Charlie Zhou saw two young people preparing to go shopping in Baijia Supermarket. After reading the flyers, they also became united against the enemy.
"Brother Zu is my idol. He is being targeted by the Li family. We should really boycott him!"

"That's right. Let's go, we won't go to Baijia Supermarket to buy things, let's go somewhere else to buy them!"

Then the two young men took the flyers and left the entrance of Baijia Supermarket.

Puff~~~
Charlie Zhou almost vomited blood.

What's the difference between this and confronting the Minotaur?
Furious, Charlie Zhou ran directly to the two elderly men handing out flyers and asked, "What are you doing?!"

"How dare you slander our supermarket in front of our supermarket!"

"Believe it or not, I'll call the police!"

A threat,
As it turned out, the two old men were not at all nervous about the threat.

"Let me tell you, I'm 70 years old, my old bones are not strong enough..."

"If I fall, I will sue you and make you pay for it!"

"Yeah, I have a bad heart. Don't threaten me. If you scare me and I have a heart attack, you're done for!"

Charlie Zhou originally wanted to take action, but after hearing what the two old guys said, he was so scared that he dared not move.

Angry and anxious!
Damn, you still say your bones are not hard enough? You exercise regularly, right? You also have muscles!

Still have a heart disease? I see your voice is louder than mine, full of energy!

"Good good!"

"You guys want to play this way, right?"

"Then I'll call the police!"

The two old men with leaflets looked disdainful: "Report it, I'm afraid of you!"

Charlie Zhou picked up the phone and called the police.

Another street next door,

He Wenzhan was patrolling with a group of PTU men.

Then while they were patrolling the streets, they also received flyers distributed by citizens.

Kat looked at the flyer and was surprised: "Wow, boycotting 100% supermarket? Wouldn't that mean 100% supermarket will suffer a huge loss?"

He Wenzhan: "At most, they can boycott for one or two days. It would be too difficult to boycott all the time. I don't think it will work."

Young police officer Xiaohua regards Guan Zu as his idol: "Brother Zu, go through fire and water, since you are promoting a boycott, then I will definitely boycott."

The others started laughing.

"Yes, support Brother Zu!"

"support!"

"I won't go to 100 supermarkets to buy things these days."

Just then, a voice came from the pager.

“Zizzizi~~~”

"Call, call, there's a civil dispute at the Hennessy Road 100 Supermarket. Please ask the guys nearby to rush over and deal with it as soon as possible."

He Wenzhan heard this and quickly replied, "Okay, Team He Wenzhan, we'll be there right away!"

quickly,

He Wenzhan took two people and ran to the Baijia Supermarket which was not far away.

arrival.

Charlie Zhou suddenly felt like he had found a life-saving straw and shouted, "Sir, you came at the right time. These two uncles ran to the door of our 100-storey supermarket to hand out flyers, saying that they wanted to boycott our 100-storey supermarket... They are disrupting our business, I hope you can arrest them."

The two old men looked calm:
"Hey, don't wrongly accuse a good person."

"Sir, look at him, he is slandering me, slandering me!"

Charlie Zhou almost vomited blood.

Shameless!
Shameless!

He Wenzhan has such a good relationship with Guan Zu, so of course he is biased towards Guan Zu, so he said,

"Mr. Zhou, the place where these two uncles are standing is the street beside the road, which is a public place. They are handing out flyers here, which is completely reasonable and legal..."

"There is no disturbance of public order."

Charlie Zhou Yi heard this and became furious: "Why doesn't it count? They stopped the customers who came to the supermarket to buy things!"

An old man: "Hey, you are wronging me again. We didn't stop them. We just chatted with them. As for whether they go shopping or not, that's their own choice. What? Do I have no right to chat with them? Do you have more power than the Governor of Hong Kong?"

Although he is old, he has a sharp tongue.

He Wenzhan spread his hands: "I think what this old man said is right." Charlie Zhou was so angry that his fingers were shaking. He pointed at He Wenzhan and the old man: "You..."

Understood!
Collusion with each other!

too dark!
Charlie Chau: "Very good, police number 16545, right? I will file a complaint against you."

He Wenzhan shrugged: "Whatever you want."

Who in the police force doesn’t support Guan Zu?
Complaints are very useful!
"Okay, Mr. Zhou, if everything is ok, we will continue patrolling other places."

After saying that, he put one hand on his waist and left the street with his two men.

Charlie Zhou was extremely angry and said to the two uncles, "Do you think you can do whatever you want just because the police are biased?"

Uncle A said proudly: "Excuse me, but if the police force is biased, they can do whatever they want! However, I don't think you can understand this realm."

Uncle B chewed gum and said, "Yes, he definitely won't understand."

Charlie Chow is furious!

But he couldn't win the argument with these two old bastards, so he could only turn around and walk into Baijia Supermarket in shame.

Although Charlie Zhou was angry, he also realized that something was seriously wrong.

Quickly call Boss Li's secretary.

……

Boss Li’s villa.

At this time, Boss Li was watching TVB News.

"The HKMA recently stated that as an international financial center, Hong Kong Island has a sound financial system and regulatory mechanism. Recently, many internationally renowned financial institutions have expressed optimism about the development prospects of Hong Kong Island's financial market and plan to increase investment in Hong Kong Island..."

Based on the information collected in recent times, Boss Li has basically determined that a new round of bull market is coming.

Since October 1987, 10, the United States has raised bank interest rates by a full percentage point. This move triggered a global stock market crash, and the Hong Kong stock market was not spared. The Hang Seng Index plummeted 26 points in a single day and 1000 points in two months.

随后又发生了海湾战争（1990年8月2日至 1991年2月28日），导致港股受到了美股的影响，再度暴跌。

Now, Boss Li has combined information from various sources and realized that a bull market for Hong Kong stocks is coming.

Li family,

What benefits can you get from this bull market?

at this time,

"Ling ring ring~~~~"

The secretary called.

"Boss, excuse me for disturbing you at night. There is an important matter here that I may need to report to you."

"what's up?"

"There was an accident at the 100-storey supermarket in Causeway Bay..."

The secretary told him everything.

Boss Li’s first reaction was: This kind of thing is pure nonsense!

resist?

Isn't this funny?

He knows human nature well enough that no one would boycott the convenience of a supermarket for the sake of others.

Moreover, he has been running the supermarket since 1973, and it has been nearly 20 years now, and he has never seen anyone boycotting the supermarket. Moreover, the world's largest chain, such as Wal-Mart, has never heard of a similar case.

Boss Li seemed very relaxed: "Let Charlie Zhou come to my office tomorrow to make a detailed report."

Secretary: "Okay, boss."

"Oh, Boss, there is one more thing. The finance department told me 10 minutes ago that HSBC has invested about 4 million yuan in the market to short Hutchison Whampoa's shares."

Boss Li immediately became alert: "Short selling? Do you know who did it?"

HSBC didn’t say.

Boss Li nodded: "Okay."

HSBC didn’t say that it was because they were not qualified.

If Boss Li asks himself, he will definitely be able to find out.

After hanging up the phone with his secretary, Boss Li called the president of HSBC. He has always had a very good relationship with HSBC. Most of the time, the Li family's funds were withdrawn from Hong Kong Island and invested around the world, with the help of HSBC.

Not long after, he got the accurate information—the person who did the short selling was Guan Zu!
Short selling refers to the act of an investor (Kwan Tzu) choosing to sell stocks borrowed from an investor's account when he believes that a certain stock (Hutchison Whampoa) is about to fall, and then buying the stock at a lower price when the stock falls to repay the debt, thereby earning the difference.

"It's him?"

Boss Li frowned immediately.

"Why would he think my stock would go down?"

After two confrontations, he didn't gain any advantage, which shows that Guan Zu is not an ordinary person.

And now, Guan Zu actually sold 4 million Hutchison shares.

Obviously there is a lot of confidence.

"has a problem!"

At this moment, Boss Li finally became serious.

I called my secretary and said, "Immediately arrange for Charlie Zhou to come over and report on the situation at the supermarket."

Secretary: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away!"

……

After half an hour,
A car stopped at Boss Li’s villa in Deep Water Bay.
