After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 587 Traitor
The Hong Kong government's offensive and defensive battle is actually quite simple.

The attacking side keeps selling.

The defending side keeps buying.

If the attacking side sells out of ammunition, the defending side wins; if the defending side can't afford to buy more or can't keep up, the attacking side wins.

The so-called market rescue is actually just buying.

Buying is helping.

Zhou Zhengqi is different; his actions are blatant treason. At this crucial moment, he actually switched sides, sided with international capital, and started shorting the market...

From a legal perspective, freedom of trade is his right.

From a moral standpoint, he's practically a traitor to the nation.

Zhou Haoran was unaware of his private dealings.

Don't care either.

I've rented a 20-meter yacht and am taking a cruise from Central Pier 9, visiting all the Hong Kong government's seaside attractions, including Victoria Harbour, Repulse Bay, and Whiskey Bay.

The ship was full of bigwigs from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

There are more than a dozen.

More than a dozen A-list actresses accompanied them, including Brigitte Lin and Anita Mui, as well as a group of stunningly beautiful actresses such as Rosamund Kwan and Michelle Reis.

This was a gathering organized by Zhou Haoran.

Everyone is very considerate.

Jiang Feibiao also arrived.

"I knew it! You're really something!"

Jiang Feibiao's eyes were practically bulging.

Zhou Haoran asked with amusement, "Who have you taken a fancy to this time?"

"It's all good."

Jiang Feibiao said with a chuckle.

Zhou Haoran said in a low voice, "These are all top-tier actresses, unlike the ordinary girls that Zhou Zhengqi introduced to you before, who could be won over with a little money."

"Is one million enough?"

Jiang Feibiao became ruthless.

"Not even a fraction of the amount."

Zhou Haoran shook his head.

"what?"

Jiang Feibiao was taken aback.

Zhou Haoran said in a low voice, "Many of these female stars' followers are billionaires with assets of billions. They have all seen a lot of money, and they can't be bought off by small-time swindlers."

"Sigh! Compared to the Hong Kong government, our harbor is still poor!"

Jiang Feibiao sighed.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "In just a few years, the harbor will have developed, and the Hong Kong government will be nothing!"

“In a few years…” Jiang Feibiao shook his head, “In a few years, they will all be old, and then we will miss them.”

Zhou Haoran burst into laughter.

Jiang Feibiao said excitedly, "Brother, how about you? You're young and rich, and you even saved Hong Kong's entertainment industry. They must admire you a lot, right? You can win them over, right?"

"That's true."

Zhou Haoran nodded.

"If you were to make a move..." Jiang Feibiao winked at him, "could you sleep with all these pretty girls?"

Zhou Haoran frankly stated, "If I wanted to, I could certainly do it, and it wouldn't cost much. We could just have dinner together and then go to a hotel. But I'm not interested; I don't even know how many people have already been with me."

"That's not right of you!" Jiang Feibiao lectured him like an experienced person. "The more experience you have, the more tricks you can pull off. What's the point of having a clueless little girl lying in bed like a dead fish?"

"Everyone has their own aspirations!"

"Ha ha!"

"hey-hey!"

"So I have no chance at all?"

Jiang Feibiao was somewhat unwilling.

Zhou Haoran slowly said, "There are two ways to win over a top-tier actress like this."

"Tell me quickly!" Jiang Feibiao exclaimed excitedly, "I've taken a liking to Michelle Reis, and Gigi Lai is pretty good too!"

Zhou Haoran twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "First, get married. Give us a formal statement. If you're more sincere, maybe there'll be a chance."

Don't even think about it.

Jiang Feibiao was helpless; this was absolutely impossible. If he dared to do that, he might be kicked out of the house.

Zhou Haoran said, "And then there's the money. You'll need to prepare 2000 million! It might even take 3000 million! Luxury houses and cars are standard, and jewelry, brand-name luxury goods, and the like, you'll have to buy them like you're stocking up on inventory."

"Huh?" Jiang Feibiao's eyes widened. "What do you mean? Is it inlaid with gold or diamonds?"

"That's the price the Hong Kong government is offering. Michelle Reis also has powerful connections."

"Who?"

"That wealthy man surnamed Liu, the one who's good at playing golf."

"what?"

Jiang Feibiao didn't know him at all.

Zhou Haoran laughed and said, "Didn't you visit Zhou Zhengqi's mansion in Clearwater Bay? You're still his neighbor, a billionaire worth billions. You can spend tens of millions on any female star."

"Uh……"

Jiang Feibiao's expression immediately changed.

I'm starting to fall behind.

Capitalist society is too crazy!
Zhou Haoran said with a smile, "If you ask me, things are pretty good in mainland China too. Prices are lower, the language and personality are more suitable, and the materialism level isn't as high as in Hong Kong. Right now, we should push forward with the transportation card project. If this project is successful, not only will the port be able to stand at the top of the country again, but we will also reap huge personal benefits."

"Yes, we still need to do business well."

Jiang Feibiao was unwilling to accept this.

It's not easy to come to the Hong Kong government.

It would be a shame not to have enough fun!
Zhou Haoran naturally saw through it too, and whispered, "Top-tier actresses are definitely out of the question, their prices are too high, and our resources aren't quite there yet. However, those third-, fifth-, and eighteenth-tier actresses that Zhou Zhengqi arranged for you before are still easy to find, as many as you want."

"Really?"

Jiang Feibiao's eyes lit up.

Zhou Haoran grabbed his arm, "Come on, let me introduce you to a friend!"

Then, we went together to meet Mr. Xiang, the boss of China Star.

Let Boss Xiang introduce them. "Want to meet some female celebrities you can get along with?" Boss Xiang understood immediately and was very enthusiastic towards Deputy Head Jiang of the delegation. "Sure, I'll send you a list later. There are two or three hundred names, with prices clearly marked. Mr. Jiang, feel free to choose!"

"Thank you! Thank you! Ah, Mr. Xiang is indeed a prominent figure in Hong Kong's entertainment industry!"

Jiang Feibiao was delighted.

Mr. Da is truly amazing.

He's much better than Zhou Gongzi.

He smiled at the boss and said, "I should be thanking you. With your help, the company's stock price has been able to rise against the trend, and I can finally give an account to the investors."

With the mobilization of HK$4 million from the delegation.

The market did indeed change.

All five listed companies issued announcements explaining the details of the equity transfer to the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and making them public.

The trading parties all pointed to the bailout delegation from the port.

HK$4 million may not seem like much, but it represents confidence!
In the stock market, the most important things are confidence and emotions.

After the news was reported by the media, it immediately drew a market reaction, instantly filling investors with anticipation for these five companies. No one knew how much money the delegation had, or whether they would invest further.

Blind investors then entered the market.

The rush to buy shares in these five listed companies directly caused their stock prices to rise by more than 20%, and even the stock prices of the entire entertainment industry rose against the trend.

Under the onslaught of international capital, all sectors of the stock market are declining.

Only the entertainment sector actually saw an increase!
The underlying reason is the port's bailout delegation.

"Mr. Soros VS. Soros".

It seems that the master is a cut above the rest!
This cruise was actually a small celebration to mark the rise in the stock prices of several companies against the trend.

Zhou Haoran naturally became the focus of the Hong Kong government's entertainment industry.

It truly was like a great savior descending upon us.

He also enjoys considerable personal benefits.

The investment of HK$4 million has yielded a current unrealized profit of over HK$1 million.

At this moment, the boss of Huanya walked over and said in a deep voice, "Sir, something has happened!"

"Ok?"

Zhou Haoran noticed the seriousness in his expression.

The owner of Huanya said angrily, "More than 30 short orders suddenly appeared in Huanya, which directly drove down the stock price. The drop has now exceeded 19%, and the decline is still widening."

"Under attack?"

Zhou Haoran was a little surprised.

The intervention of the bailout delegation to rescue the entertainment industry has been widely reported in the media, creating a positive social atmosphere. Who would risk public condemnation by shorting the market at such a time?

That's so irrational!

Even if you want to short sell for arbitrage, there are so many sectors in Hong Kong stocks that are experiencing sharp declines, why not go to those sectors?

The owner of Huanya also realized this, narrowing his eyes, "This is intentional!"

Just then, Mr. Xiang, the boss of China Star, also received a phone call.

Before he could say two words, his expression changed drastically.

"what happened?"

"Damn it! Someone's messing with the gods!"

"China Star also faced a large number of short-selling attacks?"

The owner of Huanya seemed to have figured something out.

He coldly told the boss, "Someone's asking for it!"

"The market rescue signals have been released, widely reported by the media, and positive effects are already emerging. At a time like this, who would dare to jump out and short sell? Is this a provocation?"

Zhou Haoran spoke slowly, then glanced at Jiang Feibiao.

"Ok?"

Jiang Feibiao didn't react at first, but when he saw the look in his eyes, a name immediately popped into his mind—Zhou Zhengqi.

Shorting entertainment industry stocks at this time is very unwise.

This is not a rational choice.

It was more like a retaliation born of irrationality.

Before long, the bosses of the other listed companies also gathered around, their expressions rather gloomy.

They exchanged information.

It was astonishing to discover that these publicly listed companies in the entertainment industry were all simultaneously attacked by short sellers.

"I'd like to see who this is!"

Be ruthless towards the boss.

This guy's background is anything but simple; he's involved in both organized crime and legitimate businesses. You can tell a thing or two from the fact that he changed his company's name from Win's Entertainment to China Star. After Hong Kong's return to China, many local forces that committed wrongdoing were dismantled.

This is no longer the colonial era; the Hong Kong government must embrace a new era.

Unexpectedly, someone dared to provoke them.

Zhou Haoran asked, "Can it be found out?"

"I'll ask my friends, I definitely need to check."

I have confidence in my boss.

Zhou Haoran said slowly, "If it's international capital, then it's understandable. It's not about right or wrong; it's just a battle of offense and defense. But if the other side isn't international capital, but some local forces... then it's no different from traitors and sellouts."

The Hong Kong government is now united in its efforts to combat international capital.

This is not empty talk.

Many wealthy tycoons have made their moves, such as Li Ka-shing.

This includes the wealthy man surnamed Liu who enjoys playing golf.

They've been buying stocks like crazy lately.

International capital is selling, and they are constantly buying.

Let's see who's better!

Patriotism is rewarding.

Later, international capital suffered a crushing defeat and withdrew from the market. These wealthy individuals who frantically bought in during the crisis turned it into a bottom-fishing spree. Overnight, the situation reversed, and their net worth skyrocketed.

Li Ka-shing became the richest Chinese person, and Liu Fuhao's net worth increased from several billion to tens of billions.

Those who become traitors always meet a terrible end.
