Reborn Tech Maniac

Chapter 718 I heard that you knew how to play stocks when you were six years old
……

Regarding this question, Tang Huan did not answer right away, but thought for a while.The trouble that Gein Li Fuzhao got into can only be described as that the water inside is too deep.

It must be pointed out that Li Fuzhao is not a grassroots self-made man. He is the third generation of the Li Shipeng family, one of the four prominent families in Hong Kong in the colonial era.

This old Chinese family, which started in the 19s, has been passed down to the fourth generation and is still very active. It has an influence that cannot be ignored in the political and economic circles of Xiangjiang, and is described as the "Rockefeller family" of Xiangjiang.

The reason why Li Shipeng's family can be so prosperous is that Li Guanchun, the second-generation head of the family who is deeply afraid that "a gentleman's fortune will be exhausted in two generations" and who participated in the founding of the Bank of East Asia, has created a culture that encourages talents from generation to generation. Mechanisms that emerge in large numbers.

For example, the third-generation Li Fuzhao founded the Far East Exchange, and finally became the chairman of the board of directors of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which merged into one; the fourth-generation Li Guobao is currently the CEO and general manager of the Bank of East Asia, successfully inheriting his ancestral business. The annual salary is close to ten million Hong Kong dollars, which is one of the best in the circle of Hong Kong business executives.

And this is only the outstanding members of Li Shipeng's family who have emerged in business, and their limelight in the political arena is even worse.

In addition, the Li Shipeng family also has marriage relationships with other powerful families.For example, the Feng Pingshan family who also participated in the establishment of the Bank of East Asia, and the Guo Peixun family who founded Wing On Department Store.The marriage that is relatively recent and well-known is undoubtedly the wife of Li Guobao, Pan Jincui, who is Pan Dickson's sister.

With the favorable growth conditions provided by his family, coupled with his outstanding talents and willingness to strive for success, Li Fuzhao, the youngest of Li Guanchun's 12 children, naturally achieved achievements much more easily than ordinary people, and eventually became today's "Godfather of Hong Kong Stocks" .

This title is not just a compliment. Li Fuzhao created an independent Li family kingdom in the form of feudal patriarchal system in the Far East Exchange, and even today's Xiangjiang Stock Exchange. all vital positions.

It is no exaggeration to say that no matter how big a securities brokerage in the United States or Europe is, if you want to make a fortune in the Hong Kong capital market, you have to look at Li Fuzhao's eyes.

It is obvious that Kanglong has regrets, that he was in a state of prosperity and then declined, and that Li Fuzhao monopolized power to such an extent is a crime in itself.

Fortunately, since the second generation Li Guanchun joined the ranks of compradors, Li Shipeng's family has integrated with the West quite tacitly. Li Fuzhao himself is a member of the Freemasonry, which is enough to bear this glory in times of peace and prosperity.

But the problem lies here. A major stock market crash that has swept the world has inevitably led to a situation that urgently needs to be reshuffled.

On the second day of "Black Monday", the Hong Kong Stock Exchange announced that it will suspend the market for 4 consecutive days from now on to improve the settlement situation and calm down investors. The Hong Kong government absolutely agrees with this.

Although this decision is abrupt, there are precedents to follow.As early as 1967, due to the political situation, stockholders sold stocks crazily.The Hong Kong Stock Exchange was the only stock exchange at that time.Trading was suspended twice to prevent the stock market from collapsing.

However, today is not what it used to be, and the Xiangjiang stock market has already involved huge international capital interests.

With a click, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was closed for 4 consecutive days, which directly caused many securities brokers to lose the opportunity to stop losses.Confused, they naturally immediately controlled the right to speak, allowing opposing voices to gain the upper hand.

What surprised the outside world the most, and also the most telling thing, is that Li Guobao, the general manager of the Bank of East Asia and Li Fuzhao's nephew, directly criticized the decision to suspend the market as a wrong decision.

Actually, this is not surprising.When the Hong Kong government relaxed restrictions on banking licenses, powerful foreign banks set up branches in Hong Kong one after another. As a result, Chinese banks, which were under tremendous pressure, experienced frequent crises and even went bankrupt, creating a wave of industry crises.Under the management of Li Guobao, the Bank of East Asia implemented diversified operations through the established overseas network, continuously expanded its business, and became increasingly prosperous in the face of adversity.

To put it bluntly, Li Guobao, who manages the International Trust Fund, is the same as other securities brokers, unwilling to see the suspension of the market, and naturally wants to bombard his uncle.

In such a complicated situation, the decision of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to suspend the market for 4 days did not allow the Hong Kong stock market to escape the global stock market disaster. The daily decline was as high as one-third, setting a global record in history, and it is unknown how many people lost their money because of this.

At the press conference held by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange in the evening, Australian reporter Eric Ellis asked Li Fuzhao unceremoniously: "You manage the stocks of your own family, so if you ordered the suspension of the stock market, did you follow suit?" Does it have anything to do with personal interests?"

After hearing such heartbreaking words, Li Fuzhao, the majestic chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, suddenly lost control of his emotions and flew into a rage. He punched the table heavily with his fist, then pointed at the other party, and repeatedly reprimanded him in English.

……

"This is malicious slander."

"Give your name, I want my lawyer to take it on record."

"I'll give you a ticket right now."

"Accuse him, take him to the police station, send him to the police station."

……

The press conference immediately became chaotic. The senior staff of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange tried to persuade their "Principal Li" to calm down, but to no avail.

In the end, it was the other reporters who dragged Eric Ellis away from the scene, causing the press conference to end amidst the noise, and that was the end of it.

A few days later, Xiangjiang and overseas media all reported this incident as important news. The photos of Li Fuzhao "fingering" and "spouting tendons" can be seen everywhere. He has a high degree of Westernization, and even Known by the West as "the uneducated country bumpkin".

Whether it was because he was used to being domineering or domineering, or because the stock market crash was too stressful and caused him to lose his mind, Li Fuzhao's media public relations performance at the press conference was simply terrible, and he directly pushed himself into a corner.

Originally, those who suffered heavy losses in the stock market crash were already dissatisfied with the suspension of the market, but now the media has seized on this again, and the wave of "reversing_Li" is out of control.

One of the major signs is that the Heung Kong Securities Joint Exchange will be re-elected in mid-November. With Li Fuzhao's prestige in the Hong Kong Securities industry, if there are no such disturbances, he will definitely be re-elected; but now only one vice chairman is named, and the signs of losing power cannot be more obvious.

From Tang Huan's point of view, there is no suspense about the ending of the "Inverted_Li" wave.

Li Fuzhao's real "crime" is not "suspension of the market for four days", nor is it "accepting shares of listed companies as a reward for the convenience of listing", but that he blocked the way of some people.

Even the status of a member of the Freemasonry can't help him, and even the Freemasonry itself is the main force in the "Invert_Li" wave.

However, Mr. Richest Man has his own rules of conduct, and there is no need to follow others' advice or be unconventional.

Under the expectant eyes of everyone in the audience, Tang Huan finally said slowly: "It's hard to say how much Li Fuzhao was responsible for the Xiangjiang stock market disaster. After all, the decision to suspend the market was absolutely approved by the Hong Kong government, which shows that there is a consensus within a certain range. .”

"As for Li Fuzhao's acceptance of shares in listed companies as a reward for the convenience of listing, to be honest, I personally have doubts about it."

"Li Fuzhao has a lot of subordinates, so it's inevitable that there will be a place where people can be trusted, but please don't forget his wealth and fame. I don't know how much lure it will take to make him take the risk?"

After hearing this answer, the reporters were all in high spirits, "The richest man in Tang is really different, he is clearly standing on the opposite side of the 'Dump_Li' army!"

When someone tried to confirm his position to Tang Huan, Tang Huan laughed freely and answered the question: "I have no job and a young body. I am just a white man in Xiangjiang. No matter what I talk about, I'm afraid you all I can no longer write a beautiful article."

Speaking of this, Tang Huan glanced at the host, "Whether it is related or not, I will answer the questions here."

The host immediately took over the conversation knowingly and said: "Mr. Zhou Mi, the chairman of the board of directors of Qinhe, will answer the questions from friends from the media."

Tang Huan nodded, stood up and exited the stage, and the flashlights immediately lit up.

……

Such a major personnel change in Qinhe naturally attracted the attention of the whole Hong Kong, and major media outlets listed it as headline news.

"Affected by hostile takeovers and the stock market crash, labor and losses in this fiscal year are a foregone conclusion. The chairman of the board of directors, Tang Huan, resigned."

"The head of the company has changed, and Qinhe has entered the second generation."

"Without the blessing of Mr. Richest Man's halo, hard work and prospects are thought-provoking."

"HSBC faded out of Xiangjiang, Tang Huan took the initiative to step down, and Xiangjiang Commercial lost two star lineups."

……

In addition, other lace news is also indispensable in the newspaper.

……

"Regardless_Li Dajun is mighty, and Tang Huan supports Li Fuzhao."

……

"Qinhe hired many celebrities as directors to make up for the shortcomings in star power caused by the departure of the richest man."

"The former HSBC executives privately revealed that in the process of reaching an understanding transaction with Tang Huan, HSBC had paid the other party nearly 30 billion U.S. dollars, and the diligence and profit and loss became a mystery."

……

The newspapers in Xiangjiang are more and more inclined to sensationalize the public with non-surprising words.Therefore, Tang Huan didn't bother to pay attention to it.When it was confirmed that the industries such as Qinhe Yiyi and Media Asia TV had settled down, he decided to return to the United States immediately.

After all, if it wasn't for the sudden fire at Media Asia TV's headquarters, Tang Huan would still be busy with product upgrades in Silicon Valley, USA.

Just as he was about to leave, Tang Huan received a call from Deng Lijun from the United States and told him anxiously: Jin Chang and Jin Ge were having a fight with him, and they ran away from home when they were young, and they had already secretly boarded a flight to Hong Kong. flight.

Hearing Deng Lijun's sobbing voice on the phone, Tang Huan felt his heart twitching. After comforting him extensively, he ordered his men to go to the airport to guard.

He has been operating in Xiangjiang for so many years, and this little thing is not easy to grasp. Without any accident, Jin Chang and Jin Ge were taken over.

When they met, Tang Huan was so angry that he slapped each of the two brothers and cursed angrily: "If you are really kidnapped by someone, don't expect me to pay to save you."

Realizing that Jin Chang and Jin Ge, who really annoyed their father, were so frightened that they froze at the time, and consciously ran to the corner to face the wall, of course to avoid being beaten again.

Tang Huan breathed a sigh of relief and felt that his patience had been restored, so he planned to use a civilized way to train his son.

At this time, a guest came suddenly, and Li Fuzhao came to visit unexpectedly. Tang Huan quickly let him in, and Jin Chang and Jin Ge, who could look at each other, took the opportunity to pretend to be a good baby and accompany their father .

"Are these two young masters of yours?" Li Fuzhao asked casually with a tired look on his face, and even obviously aged a little.

Tang Huan nodded. "Two worry-free things, who grew up in the United States, don't mention them."

As soon as the words fell, Jinge stared wide-eyed, and interjected curiously to ask Li Fuzhao, "I heard that you can play stocks at the age of six, teach me, how about it?"

"Bastard, what are you talking about?" Tang Huan raised his hand in anger.

"Don't get angry, Tang Sheng. Children who grow up in the West are often so straightforward." After Li Fuzhao generously dissuaded him, he looked at the pair of interesting twin brothers and asked with a smile, "You two, how do you know me? of?"

"That's not easy, just read a few more newspapers, and you'll know." Under his father's warning eyes, Jin Ge answered with his head tilted, proving once again that the term "stupid fool" is indeed justified.

There are many prodigies in the Li Shipeng family. In addition to Li Fuzhao himself who showed talent in stocks since he was a child, his father, Li Guanchun, the second-generation head of the family, was betrayed and poached by his brother-in-law who brought his father Li Shipeng out to venture into the world. Had to drop out of school for emergency, took care of the shipping business at the age of 8, and became the manager of the shipping company at the age of 13.

Therefore, Li Fuzhao looked at Jin Chang and Jin Ge who behaved differently from children of the same age in front of him, and he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he replied in a serious manner as usual: "So that's the case. But, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of my disciples now."

"Why don't you have time?" Jin Ge launched the "One Hundred Thousand Whys" method, and Tang Huan was so annoyed that he scolded him, "You still won't shut up!"

Li Fuzhao laughed, and turned to Tang Huan and said, "Thank you Tang Sheng for supporting me in public. A friend in adversity sees the truth. I am very grateful. I am here to express my thanks."

Tang Huan could sense that Li Fuzhao's words were asking for further help, and thought, it seems that the newspapers described the other party's various ways of asking the master to look at Feng Shui to seek good luck and avoid bad luck, which is not an exaggeration. In other words, he went to the doctor in a hurry to visit the doctor. It can be said that he has reached the end of the mountain.

"In all fairness, it's nothing to worry about." Tang Huan waved his hand, "With all due respect, given Li Sheng's current situation, he should leave Xiangjiang to avoid the limelight. Otherwise, he may end up in prison."
