Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Before the middle-aged man could speak, Li Chaoren quickly asked, "Manager Cheng, did you find out who is shorting the company's stock today?"

Manager Cheng said embarrassingly: "Chairman, I haven't found out who it is yet, but the funds for shorting us today all come from Hang Seng Bank."

"What? Hang Seng Bank?" Superman Li was shocked when he heard the words, and couldn't help but said, "Are you sure it's Hang Seng Bank? Did you make a mistake?"

Manager Cheng said: "Chairman, it is definitely Hang Seng Bank, but it is not Hang Seng Bank that is shorting our company, but someone else, but the other party is using Hang Seng Bank's channel to short our company."

Hearing this, Li Chaoren couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "It's fine if it's not Hang Seng Bank, it's fine if it's not Hang Seng Bank."

No wonder Li Chaoren behaved like this. The main thing is that everyone knows who the boss behind Hang Seng Bank is. If that person wants to attack him, then the problem will be serious. Thinking of the tragic situation before Jardine, Li Chaoren still has lingering fears.

Li Chaoren: "Since it's not Hang Seng Bank, why can't we find out who is shorting our company's stock?"

"Chairman, I got the news because the people who shorted our company signed a non-disclosure agreement with Hang Seng Bank."

"Chairman, you should know that since Hang Seng was acquired by Yang Sheng, we have always attached great importance to the confidentiality of customers, so it is difficult for us to get news from Hang Seng Bank."

Li Chaoren couldn't help but feel a headache when he heard this.

Regarding the customer confidentiality system implemented by Hang Seng Bank, Yang Chen has fully absorbed the experience of Swiss banks, and will not disclose any customer information to anyone or any force.

Although the major banks have so-called confidentiality agreements, this kind of thing is completely useless to a bigwig like Li Chaoren.

Whether it's HSBC, Standard Chartered, or other banks in Hong Kong, as long as Li Chaoren is willing, he can find out who is behind the scenes with just one phone call.

But Hang Seng Bank can't do it. With Yang Chen as the backer, no one will lose face, unless Boss Yang personally speaks.

However, if you want Yang Chen to speak, you don't even need to think about it. The Hang Seng Bank's secrecy system was formulated by Boss Yang, so how could the other party slap himself in the face?

Li Chaoren suppressed the urge to call Yang Chen, and said, "Okay, that's it, you go down and continue to investigate, and send someone to Hang Seng Bank to keep an eye on it, to see if you can gain anything."

Manager Cheng hesitated and said: "Then, Chairman, our previous plan is still..."

Li Chaoren didn't wait for him to finish, he quickly raised his hand to interrupt, and said in a deep voice: "Tell your people to stop, don't move."

Now there are rumors everywhere in Xiangjiang that he shorted the Hang Seng Index and the stocks of major listed companies. Even if these rumors are true, it’s nothing. Tea only.

However, he secretly wanted to buy his own stock. When the company's stock plummeted inexplicably, once he sent someone to buy it, he would be suspected of manipulating the stock market.

It’s okay if you don’t get caught for this kind of thing. If you are caught, you may drink tea if you are lucky, and you will be fined for a warning.

At this time, another person walked in hastily.

"Chairman, Mr. Aiker has brought over a dozen shareholders, and they want to hold a general meeting of shareholders immediately."

When Li Chaoren heard the news, his brain ached again, "I see, you go and invite them in."

Hutchison's stock price fell by more than [-]% inexplicably. He, the chairman, can't sit still, let alone the others.

In particular, Hutchison experienced a sharp drop in stock price earlier. In the [-] stock market crash, Hutchison's stock price fell to one Hong Kong dollar.

at night

Oriental Daily

Office of the Chairman

Ma Tingqiang, known as the second-generation white-faced horse, sat on the chairman's office chair, smoking a cigarette in his mouth, silent and did not speak. Opposite him was a man in his 50s and [-]s, the deputy editor-in-chief of Oriental Daily.

Two years ago, with the permission of his father who had fled to Wanwan, Ma Tingqiang officially took over the Oriental Daily. Since the newspaper was in good condition, the Oriental Daily did not make much changes after he took over.

Dongfang Daily was founded in 70 by the famous Erma in Xiangjiang in the [-]s and [-]s. At the beginning, everyone called it a white-faced newspaper.

Although the reputation is not very good, since the early 70s, Oriental Daily has gone from an unknown newspaper to the largest newspaper in Xiangjiang in just a few years.

Since then, it has maintained the number one sales position.

From the beginning of its establishment, Dongfang Daily has focused on ordinary citizens as its main readers, and has specially collected and written a large number of Hong Kong social news to attract low-level readers.

After entering 80 years, with the economic development of Xiangjiang, the trend of internationalization has become more and more rapid. Oriental Daily has immediately dispatched journalists to major cities around the world, such as the United States, Britain, France, and Australia.

24 hours a day, all-weather to send readers the fastest, most substantial and most accurate information, so that readers can know the world's affairs without leaving home.

After more than ten years of development, the influence of Oriental Daily can be said to be second to none in the Hong Kong newspaper industry, and it has become one of the newspapers that many Hong Kong people must read every day.

To a certain extent, the influence of Oriental Daily is greater than that of some paid TV stations. After all, many people watch TV and seldom watch news. Most of them watch TV dramas and entertainment programs. As for news, newspapers are more comprehensive. .

Ma Tingqiang, who is just in his early thirties this year, is more low-key and restrained than other second-generation children of the Ma family.

Although the Ma family has become low-key since the two horses ran away, as the core figure of the second generation of the Ma family, Ma Tingqiang has a smiling face no matter who he is, at least in front of others.

To say that the most high-profile time of this big brother is to marry Lai Zi, a famous female star in Xiangjiang.

Speaking of this, I have to mention that Er Ma had a long-term vision and clever means at the time, and he could think of using the establishment of a newspaper to launder his identity and black gold, leaving a way out for the Ma family.

In which era, this can be said to be a rare smart person.

From the 50s to the 70s, Xiangjiang suffered serious corruption and bribery, the number of underworld forces was huge, and the whole society was in chaos. At that time, there were three major underworld tycoons in Xiangjiang. , and Wu Xihao, nicknamed "Lame Hao".

At that time, the Ma family brothers occupied two of them. In addition, the Ma family was also one of the four major black power families at that time, which showed its strength.

If it hadn't been for the establishment of the ICAC in [-], batch after batch of high-ranking police officers and underworld bosses would have fallen one after another. Among them, the famous Lai Hao, one of the four major Chinese detectives, had brought out the Ma brothers who were associated with him in the Lai Hao case. Well, the Ma brothers are probably still selling flour and newspapers on the side of cheerfulness.

In [-], when the Ma family case happened, Er Ma ran to Wanwan to settle down, and used the money laundered through Oriental Daily to set up the family business. It can be said that the small life was prosperous.

The second horse settled in Wanwan and could not come back. Naturally, the industry in Xiangjiang can only be inherited by Ma Tingqiang and other second-generation Ma family members.

Since mastering Dongfang Daily, Ma Tingqiang's life has been nourished and nourished. Although his legs are bad, he can walk with wind.

However, Ma Tingqiang, who was eating at home tonight, lost his good mood after receiving a call from his editor-in-chief.

All along, although he is low-key and restrained, he is kind to others, but it does not mean that he is cowardly.

No one knows what the people in the old Ma family did in the early days, and no one knows, how can such a family raise cowardly people.

If Ma Tingqiang was that kind of person, he would not be the chairman of the Dongfang Daily today. The Ma family has countless industries, but the Dongfang Daily is the Ma family's talisman.

When the second horse escaped, the reason why the Ma family was not cleaned up was because of the amulet of Dongfang Daily.

Therefore, the Ma family has always attached great importance to Dongfang Daily far more than other industries. Regardless of whether Dongfang Daily makes money or not, maintaining the number one sales position in Xiangjiang is the most important task of the newspaper.

If a newspaper wants to ensure long-term sales, it must catch news that readers are interested in. Therefore, Dongfang Daily will not miss any news that can arouse readers and public opinion.

However, Ma Tingqiang hesitated this time.

Because this time he was going to face Li Chaoren, who was hailed as a superman by everyone, although the other party's title of superman seemed to be overshadowed after Yang Chen's strong rise.
