Hong Kong Variety Show: The Development Notes of a Boss

Lu Yongqiang said, "Uncle San, you're well-informed. Have you heard that anyone is shorting the Yihui Group recently?"

Hearing Lu Yongqiang's question, Master Le was stunned for a moment, then he said, "I have heard people talk about it. Boy, you are asking about this matter. Do you have any ideas?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded and said, "Uncle San, you have a sharp eye. I do have an idea about this matter. I heard that short selling can make a lot of money. Others eat meat, and I want to drink some soup."

Master Le San said, "I think you'd better give up. The waters here are very deep, and you can't just get involved casually."

Seeing that Third Master Le didn't look like he was joking, Lu Yongqiang frowned and said, "Third Uncle, can you tell me in detail?"

As he spoke, Lu Yongqiang handed a cigarette to Mr. Le Sanye like a hind leg, and then took out a lighter to light it for Mr. Le Sanye.

Mr. Le Sanye took a long drag on his cigarette and then said, "This is no secret in the financial circle, so it's okay to tell you about it.

Would the landlord have heard of this? It was just a gathering of stockbrokers. They might be stockbrokers, but don't look down on them. They all have big bosses backing them, and when they unite, they're incredibly powerful.

Yihui Group appears to be a Hong Kong-funded enterprise, but in reality it is backed by foreign forces, who have been using Yihui Group to exploit ordinary shareholders through insider trading over the years."

Lu Yongqiang's eyes widened when he heard this. "Uncle San, it's so shady? Then the supervision won't do anything about it?"

Third Master Le sneered, "Care? They have many tricks up their sleeves." Shorting Yihui Group this time may seem simple, but it's actually a game between local funds and foreign forces. Local funds want to seize control of Yihui Group.

This time, the landlords will lead several stock brokers to short the Yihui Group. They represent several big bosses in Hong Kong.

At the beginning of last year, the Landlord Association shorted Yihui Group once, but in the end Yihui Group won a great victory. The big bosses behind the Landlord Association lost a lot of money.

Later, someone reported Yihui Group for insider trading, leading to investigations by the Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Commercial Crime Bureau. After the news broke, Yihui Group's stock price plummeted, allowing the big bosses to escape. Even so, they still lost a significant amount of money.

As he spoke, Third Master Le picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea, then continued, "In the middle of last year, Zhao Guomin, chairman of Yihui Group, was implicated in a homicide case and became a suspect. After this incident made the news, Yihui Group's stock price fell again, and several big bosses once again joined forces to short Yihui Group.

The two sides have been arguing for several months. Although the stock price of Yihui Group has continued to fall, the decline is not too large and is far from the expectations of those big bosses.

Let me tell you this, it’s really not certain who will win or lose in the end.

Boy, there are hundreds of billions or even trillions of dollars involved here. I advise you not to get involved. You've finally built up some wealth, don't let it go to waste like this."

After Mr. Le Sanye finished speaking, Lu Yongqiang was completely stunned. He didn't expect that this matter involved such a big issue. It seemed that his idea of wanting to share the spoils was too naive.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yongqiang was still a little unwilling, and he said: "Uncle San, the only eyewitness in the murder case involving Zhao Guomin is Yang Qianer, and this Yang Qianer is the girlfriend of Song Shichang, the chairman of Dafeng Group.

At the request of a friend in the north, I have been sending people to protect Yang Qianer in the past few days.

I spoke with Song Shichang on the phone yesterday, and he was the one who told me about the short-selling of Yihui Group. Besides that, I have another piece of news.

Yiyang Real Estate, a subsidiary of Yihui Group, has a project in Kwai Tsing that I heard has cost several billion. There should be some activity at the construction site soon.

Uncle San, do you think the commotion at the construction site will affect Yihui Group's stock price? If we short Yihui Group at this time, can we make a small profit?"

Originally, there were some things that Lu Yongqiang did not intend to tell Mr. Le Sanye, such as his relationship with the north. Lu Yongqiang did not want the Le family to know.

Lu Yongqiang learned a lot about the Le family from Le Huizhen. The Le family was a fence-sitter, trying to build relationships with the north while having unclear relations with the foreigners.

But in the current situation, Lu Yongqiang needs Mr. Le San to analyze the situation. If he keeps hiding it, if he makes a mistake, he will be the one who suffers.

Third Master Le pondered for a moment, then said, "I know about Yiyang Real Estate's project in Kwai Tsing. They spent nearly 10 billion to purchase the land. If anything goes wrong there, Yihui Group will probably be in big trouble. Shorting Yihui Group at this time could indeed yield a small profit.

"Boy, is the news you got reliable? Is there really going to be some commotion on the construction site recently? If the news is reliable, then this is indeed an opportunity to make money."

Hearing Mr. Le Sanye's question, Lu Yongqiang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yiyang Group had some problems with the demolition compensation. Many people only received 70% or 80% of the compensation.

Someone has already come forward to incite these people. They should go to the construction site, the gate of Yiyang Real Estate, and the gate of Yihui Group in the next two days to hang banners. There will also be a lot of reporters, and it is guaranteed to cause a stir in the city..."

"Wait!" Before Lu Yongqiang could finish his words, Master Le San interrupted him with a suspicious look.

"Kid, tell me the truth, did you arrange for someone to incite others to hold up the banner?"

Lu Yongqiang nodded, pretending to be aggrieved.

"Uncle San, that Zhao Guomin is such a jerk! Not only did he offer a 10 million reward for Yang Qianer's life on the dark web, he also applied for a one-month postponement of the court hearing due to poor health.

Until Zhao Guomin's case is concluded, I have to keep protecting Yang Qian'er, and I don't have that much time to waste.

Song Shichang said that as long as there's some commotion at the Kwai Tsing construction site, the problem will be solved quickly. Once it's solved, I won't have to protect Yang Qian'er anymore."

Seeing Lu Yongqiang's ungrateful look, Master Le couldn't help but kick Lu Yongqiang.

With Lu Yongqiang's skills, he naturally wouldn't be kicked by Le Sanye. He just sat on the chair and dodged Le Sanye's kick.

Seeing that he didn't kick Lu Yongqiang, Master Le didn't continue, but scolded him with a smile: "You are a man who will not do anything without profit. It would be strange if you would help without any benefit.

Boy, that kid from the Song family gave you so much good that you worked so hard to help him find a solution."

Lu Yongqiang smiled and said, "It's not that much of a benefit. Song Shichang borrowed some money from me. It wasn't a lot, just 1 billion yuan. The loan period is one month, and the interest rate is one tenth."

"Wow! You really know how to do business. You easily earned 100 million in just one month." As he spoke, Mr. Le San was a little envious.

The Le family is indeed rich, but Mr. Le Sanye may not be very rich.

Just like Miss Le Huizhen, her savings over the years have only amounted to tens of millions.

Mr. Le Sanye helps his family. The company he manages belongs to the Le family. Apart from a teahouse, he has no other businesses. He helps his family and gets a fixed salary.

Of course, Le Sanye owns shares in Leshi International Group, and every year, he gets a good amount of dividends. Adding up all his annual income, Le Sanye has about 100 to 200 million yuan. If he sells his shares, they'll definitely be worth tens of billions.

Although he has a high income, Mr. Le Sanye also has high expenses. His normal monthly expenses are over one million. In addition to normal expenses, he also gambles occasionally. If he is unlucky, it is common for him to lose hundreds of millions.

Besides gambling, Le Sanye also spends a lot of money on women every year. There's no other way. Le Sanye has a unique hobby: he likes big stars in the entertainment industry, even if they're not famous. But famous stars are hard to come by without spending money. A simple gift can cost him hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, and the more expensive ones can easily reach millions.

Lu Yongqiang said, "Uncle San, I don't know any stockbrokers, and I don't have any trustworthy friends in the financial world. How about we join forces to make some money this time?"

Everyone is interested in making money. As soon as Lu Yongqiang finished speaking, Third Master Le immediately said, "Boy, how much money are you going to invest this time? How much leverage do you want?"

Lu Yongqiang thought for a moment and said, "Uncle San, I still have more than 1 billion in funds, but I need to keep some for turnover. I can't invest all of it. If I lose it all, my company will be affected.

I can put up 1 billion yuan. As for how much leverage to add, I don't know. Uncle San, you can handle it."

"One billion! Boy, do you really trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will lose all your one billion?" Master Le San spoke slowly.

Lu Yongqiang smiled cunningly and said, "Uncle San, this 1 billion is the money I planned to use to marry Ah Zhen. If I lose it all, I don't mind. I'm just afraid that Ah Zhen will come to you to settle the score."

"Don't try to fool me, you've been dating Ah Zhen for such a long time, and you haven't even met Ah Zhen's parents yet. And you're marrying Ah Zhen's wife, Ben? I think you're marrying Dong Si's wife, Ben!"

At this point, Third Master Le hesitated for a moment and said, "Boy, our Le family is a well-known family after all. Ah Zhen has chosen you, but you can't bully our Ah Zhen. I don't ask you to marry Ah Zhen now, but you have been together for so long, shouldn't you give Ah Zhen some status? At least come to meet Ah Zhen's family, right?"

This matter is a headache to talk about. When the two of them first started dating, many of Lu Yongqiang's industries were not exposed, and the Le family did not know how much Lu Yongqiang's net worth was.

Although the Le family did not stop Le Huizhen from dating Lu Yongqiang at that time, they did not recognize Lu Yongqiang as the son-in-law of the Le family.

At that time, Lu Yongqiang met Le Huizhen's father at a cocktail party. Lu Yongqiang took the initiative to say hello, but was met with a cold shoulder. The other party ignored Lu Yongqiang and treated him as a stranger.

After this incident, Lu Yongqiang consciously avoided the Le family, of course, except for Mr. Le Sanye.

Lu Yongqiang hasn't been to the Le family to meet Le Huizhen's parents for a long time, not because he holds a grudge against what happened in the past, but because he is afraid that there will be unpleasantness if he goes.

Lu Yongqiang also asked Le Huizhen to test her parents' attitude, but Le Huizhen did not give an accurate answer, so Lu Yongqiang never mentioned it.
