Movie Variety Show: Starting from a New World
Chapter 858 A call from home
Doctor Wu flew to Peking overnight because he was assigned by a big boss in the Qilin Society to go to Peking to investigate the matter personally.
But after arriving in Peking, many of the people he had known before chose to avoid him. The more righteous ones even showed up, asking Dr. Wu to go back and think carefully about whether he had offended anyone recently.
He was so disloyal that he didn't even show up and just disappeared!
Dr. Wu ran around for a whole day but didn't get the information he wanted, and his family was pressing him hard, so Dr. Wu had to call for help from the real bigwigs in the Qilin Society.
It was not until three days later that Dr. Wu finally learned the whole story from someone he visited.
It all started with a casual chat between the national commander-in-chief of the armed police force and the finance minister a few days ago.
"Minister Zhang, I heard things are pretty lively in Shanghai lately!" Zhao Cheng said with a smile. There was an expanded government meeting coming up soon.
As an alternate member, Zhao Cheng was also asked to attend the meeting. While waiting outside, Zhao Cheng ran into Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Finance who had just arrived.
"Old Zhao, what have you heard?" Minister Zhang asked with a smile.
"The Shanghai stock market is quite hot right now, so I've been paying some attention to it. I heard that there's some market maker in the stock market who spreads fake news and then tricks the general public into buying stocks. When the price gets high, he cashes out and leaves the market, causing the stock price to plummet! In the end, the common people who bought these stocks are the ones who are trapped! This exchange has only been officially listed for a few months? I heard that there are hundreds of people who jumped off the building! Our Shanghai Corps has helped the Shanghai police a lot to block roads and rescue the wounded or the bodies!" Zhao Cheng said nonchalantly.
However, Minister Zhang had to take Zhao Cheng's words seriously. Everyone was not a fool, and the commander-in-chief in front of him would not say these to him for no reason.
So after the meeting, Minister Zhang went directly to the central bank to ask how to deal with the situation Zhao Cheng mentioned. However, the central bank's response left Minister Zhang feeling disappointed.
Because we don’t even have laws and regulations to restrict these bankers! If those rich people do this, how many ordinary people will be trapped by these stocks?
So Minister Zhang called his son, who was the deputy director of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, to learn about the situation in Shanghai.
Meanwhile, news of the Qilin Club's intention to acquire 414 shares, which had been leaked in the past few days, was also shared in Shanghai. Minister Zhang then discussed some solutions with his subordinates overnight.
Finally, they came up with a solution that was not a good solution, which was to limit the number of transactions per day for a single account, if the same stock was bought and sold multiple times in a single day.
Then this account will be judged as an illegal account, the stock account will be blocked, and the money in it will be confiscated!
This rule was issued directly from the Peking Central Bank as the market opened on Monday! This news was aimed at the Qilin Club's current plan!
Minister Zhang’s idea is very clear. Since you want to take advantage of the money to reap more from those retail investors, then I will directly cut off your source of funds!
So this move directly hit the weak spot of the Qilin Society. In fact, Minister Zhang had heard that there was a Qilin Society in Shanghai, which was a group formed by a group of big businessmen. This group of businessmen had not been liquidated during the previous special period, so it had only been a short time since the reform and opening up, and they had made a comeback.
If we don’t deal with them, who else can we deal with? That’s why Qilin will be in trouble!
"You mean the commander-in-chief wants to suppress our Qilin Society? No, he wants to destroy the chambers of commerce formed by wealthy people across the country?" Doctor Wu's face looked grim, and his tone became slightly higher.
"Doctor Wu, whether this matter is directed at you or someone else, you must have offended the commander-in-chief! So you should think about how to resolve the conflict!" The man hung up the phone after saying that.
However, Dr. Wu was shocked by the information in this passage. The two main characters were people that he could never reach.
How could I possibly have a conflict with someone? If there was a chance, I could curry favor with them, but I absolutely couldn't offend them.
So, are we being targeted by these two simply because we're exploiting retail investors and causing them to dislike us? But if we don't exploit retail investors, how can we make money?
This trip to Peking made Dr. Wu begin to doubt his life. He wondered what Wei Qing would think if he knew about it.
In fact, the reason why Zhao Cheng said those things to Minister Zhang was simply because Wei Qing and Minister Zhang's son had discussed a countermeasure and asked the two fathers to act.
Zhao Cheng would cooperate with his son in acting because he knew that although the Qilin Society had a nice name, it was, after all, just a group of capitalists who gathered together to reap the private equity funds of ordinary people.
This group of people grew bigger and bigger with each harvest, and finally developed into a group of conglomerates. In the following decades, they were involved in all aspects of society and even leveraged the country!
Those who play with finance make no contribution to the entire society, and once a country fully enters the financial society, it will not be far from decline.
So, Zhao Cheng thought about it and agreed to the opportunity to suppress this group of people. As for acting with Minister Zhang? Isn't it a simple matter? After all, we are all friends. Isn't it normal for friends to chat with each other?
And it was such a simple countermeasure that directly killed the future behemoth Qilin Society. After all, the current Qilin Society was still very loose and weak.
Their size is not even as big as the clothing company run by Zhao Chengjia’s daughters-in-law!
The clothing company in Peiping is usually managed by Hao Shuwen and a few others, because it is just a slightly larger wholesale company.
Although they have established their own shopping mall, it is just a larger wholesale mall! The entire mall does not only wholesale business, but also retail business.
It can be said that since its opening, customers have been coming from all over the world every day.
Their business not only allowed the Xiaoerduo Lian family's Wanli Industrial to expand its clothing production factory in the mainland, but also made it very large in scale, with a total of ten clothing production lines, where people and machines were constantly producing clothing for them.
Together with Daisy's company in Shanghai, the clothing business created by the Zhao family's female generals has an annual sales volume of several hundred million! The net profit has reached 160 million!
Because Big D's sister-in-law was close to the Zhao family, she was promoted and given a raise, which also helped Big D's development in Mingzhu to a higher level. After all, he got more resources!
Big D, who already knows how to be grateful, also pays more attention to the Zhao family's affairs. For example, this time, Wei Shang wants to come to Mingzhu in person to investigate all the flour business dealers, and Big D accompanies him throughout the process!
