Break out of the courtyard

Monday, January 1984, 1.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange, VIP Room.

The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank answered a phone call and whispered to Shen Bi, the chairman of Huifeng Bank, "The account of the Magnesium people has been moved!"

Shen Bi nodded, "It's consistent with what we guessed before. They brought in so much money in order to buy stocks of renewable energy companies and steal the nuclear power plant technology!"

The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank looked at the large display screen across the glass partition and said with a smile, "This renewable energy company used trickery to clear out the assets and businesses of China Gas, and then went public using the shell of Island Electric. With this move by the Chinese, the share price of renewable energy is likely to skyrocket today."

Shen Bi looked at the Hai Lu Kong company's stock which turned from green to red on the large display outside, and said hesitantly: "I plan to sell the renewable energy stocks I have and buy Hai Lu Kong stocks."

"Hmm?" The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank also noticed that the shares of Hailukong Company turned red and fell, and frowned, "The risk of diversifying holdings on both sides is lower. Why did you change your mind?"

"The good news about the renewable energy company building a nuclear power plant in the mainland has been circulating for several months. Coupled with the fact that the Chinese have secretly entered the market, the resumption price of renewable energy today should be quickly raised." Shen Bi explained to the chairman of Standard Chartered Bank while organizing his own thoughts.

"After the good news about renewable energy stocks is realized, the Chinese will use leverage to drive down the renewable energy stock prices; then buy renewable energy stocks at a low price, and then push up the stock price; then drive the stock price down again and buy at a low price, and so on."

"Unfortunately, those Magnesium people don't know that Mr. Zhang likes to hold stocks for a long time and wait for appreciation. Unlike shareholders of other listed companies in Hong Kong Island, they often secretly sell their shares at high prices and buy them back at low prices. Therefore, they have no chance to control the renewable energy company."

The chairman of Standard Chartered Bank nodded in agreement and said, "In that case, I will also sell my renewable energy stocks. But why did you buy Hailukong's stocks?"

"After the merger of the Star Ferry and Kai Tak Airport, there is no other good news. If you buy in now, you will probably lose all the money you made from renewable energy stocks!"

Shen Bi was hesitant because he was worried about this.

"Last year, the accounts of Hailukong Company had very little income, which added up to less than HK$12 billion. Excluding labor costs, repair costs and other costs, the profit was about HK$1.5 million." Shen Bi looked at the falling share price of Hailukong outside and said in a deep voice:

"If the profit was just this little, why did they reorganize the three companies? Moreover, they also put the Land, Sea and Air companies under the Peace Group, making them direct subsidiaries."

"So, I think Mr. Zhang must have other plans for the Air, Land and Sea Company!"

At lunch time, Tang Wei, the technical manager of the Umbrella Company, came over and greeted Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and others who were having lunch. He then reported seriously:

"Master's Wife, we have heard a message that the people of Magnesium are secretly buying stocks of renewable energy companies. Afterwards, we checked the flow of funds and found that there are 29 securities accounts suspected to be controlled by the people of Magnesium."

"Okay, got it!" Chen Shuting responded, then asked, "Have you had lunch? If not, sit down and eat something."

"No, my parents are waiting for me at home for dinner." Tang Wei hastily declined. After hesitating for a moment, he asked again, "Master's Wife, there is a total of HK$103 billion in the account of the Magnesium people. I'm afraid they are not here with good intentions."

"Don't worry!" Chen Shuting looked at Tang Wei and said with a smile, "Your master has already predicted this matter. Those Magnesium people can't make any waves!"

After Tang Wei left, Chen Shuting said to Tang Xin, who looked confused, "The Chinese want to participate in the construction of the thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant and then steal the relevant technology."

"The renewable energy company is the technical provider and investor of this nuclear power plant. They want to use their money to control the renewable energy company and then get the nuclear power plant technology, but they don't know that we also want to sell some renewable energy stocks to recover funds!"

Tang Xin said "oh" and focused on eating.

Like Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan, she is not interested in company affairs.

If Tang Wei hadn't just mentioned that there was HK$103 billion in the account of a Chinese man from Magnesium, which might endanger his own company, Tang Xin wouldn't have thought much about it.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange, VIP Room.

A middle-aged man with brown hair and a big beard rushed into the room filled with more than a dozen computers and notebooks, stared at Old Pete behind the glass partition, and shouted angrily:

"Mr. Pete, this is a special fund used to obtain the source code of SafeGuard. You are using it to buy renewable energy stocks, which is illegal. You must stop immediately!"

"Simon, you are just here to assist me, but you don't have the authority to command me!" Old Pete didn't even look at the person who came, but stared straight at the large display screen in the exchange hall that no longer changed.

"Mr. Pete, I don't have the authority to order you around, but I will report today's events to the headquarters. Please pay attention to answering the phone!" After the bearded man said these soft and harsh words, he opened the door and left!

"Mr. Peter, if we allow Mr. Simon to report, I'm afraid it will disrupt our plans."

"It's okay!" Old Pete said calmly, "Our first phase plan is just to raise the stock price. After Simon reported to the higher-ups, we just sold the stocks according to their orders and drove down the stock price of Renewable Energy regardless of the loss."

"Mr. Pete is really amazing. After we bought the renewable energy stocks, we were actually making a profit on paper. But Simon's move turned it into a loss. The higher-ups will definitely not admit their mistake of giving orders, but will only shift the blame to Simon, and then they can send Simon back to the country!"

...

In the afternoon, after the Hong Kong stock market opened, the head of China Resources and several leading Hong Kong businessmen came to the conference room of CITIC.

"Mr. Rong, what do you want to talk to us about?" The person in charge of China Resources asked bluntly as soon as he came in.

"Mr. Rong, Mr. Wang, Mr. Li..." After Chairman He entered the room, he first greeted several directors of CITIC, and then found a seat to sit down.

Several other Hong Kong businessmen followed suit, greeted the CITIC people, and then found a seat to sit down. Only the person in charge of China Resources stood next to Mr. Rong.

"That's right!" Mr. Rong pulled out the chair beside him, motioned the person in charge of China Resources to sit down, and then said:

"This morning, we wanted to buy some stocks of renewable energy companies, but while we were waiting, the share price of renewable energy companies rose rapidly from 13 yuan to 55 yuan by the time the market closed at noon!"

"I'm in such a hurry to invite you all here because you are more familiar with Hong Kong stocks than we are. I want to ask you to help us find out how to buy stocks of renewable energy companies."

The reason why CITIC bought the shares of the renewable energy company was that Zhang Heping had previously mentioned that he wanted mainland investors to invest in his company.

Furthermore, the mainland only holds 49% of the shares of the Taishan thorium-based molten salt reactor nuclear power plant, which is about to be built, and the remaining 51% of the shares are held by renewable energy companies. The mainland wants to increase their voice in the nuclear power plant by holding shares of renewable energy companies.

"Mr. Rong, please forgive me for being blunt!" Chairman He frowned slightly and said, "You should ask Mr. Zhang or Chairman Chen about this matter first."

The chairman of Guo Real Estate also nodded in agreement, "We should ask Mr. Zhang and his team. They have no shortage of funds, but they are releasing the shares of the renewable energy company. I'm afraid they have other plans. If we rashly get involved, it would be bad if we disrupt their plans!"
