Hong Kong Variety Show: Let you eat melons, eat melons on your sister-in-law

Chapter 167 "167" Mercenaries, Jackals

As mentioned before, Hong Kong people have a strong gambling instinct.

Every aspect.

The main reason is the capitalist environment. After the four major families took control of Hong Kong's economic lifeline, all upward mobility channels were blocked, and there was no chance to turn things around except through gambling.

Especially with stocks, the trading is most frenzied here in Hong Kong.

The surge in Feng Hua International's stock price attracted many retail investors to follow suit.

They're still not satisfied even after the price has gone from two cents to over two dollars.

Now that Lin Yao has dumped the shares, all of my stocks are now locked up.

Many people even borrowed money from loan sharks to buy stocks.

If your stocks are locked in, you're doomed.

So, on the roof of the securities center, many people immediately started doing aerial acrobatics.

Meanwhile, Ma Zhihua also wanted to try his hand at aerial acrobatics, but not by himself, but by his two idiot subordinates.

Fei Guoxiong and Xu Wei were thrown out of the car by him and were nearly killed on the spot.

Ma Zhihua looked at the two of them coldly and said, "If you've done something wrong, you have to admit it! If you admit it, you have to correct it. If you don't admit it and refuse to correct it, I'll find a way to help you!"

"I don't care what methods you use to find out who's behind this, otherwise you can buy your own plane tickets and go talk to those South American drug lords!"

The two men were trembling with fear and quickly nodded, saying, "Yes, boss!"

"Still no news from Ahua?" Ma Zhihua continued to ask.

"No, I suspect... Luo Yaoming was prepared all along!" Fei Guoxiong quickly said, "Ahua might be in grave danger!"

Ma Zhihua said viciously, "Damn it, get me some more people. I don't believe Luo Yaoming and the people behind him are that powerful!"

Fei Guoxiong nodded quickly: "I understand, boss. I'll find some professionals to come over!"

Ma Zhihua snorted coldly, drove away, and left the two of them behind.

……

After clearing out his stock holdings, Luo Yaoming made a profit of over 100 million yuan.

This is only possible under conditions of frantic selling; otherwise, the profits could have been even greater.

However, Luo Yaoming had no choice. Being able to earn such a sum of money already showed that Lin Yao was quite honest in his dealings.

If it were someone more unscrupulous, they might just get rid of him after the job is done.

Lin Yao did indeed want to get rid of this guy, but... the risk was too great and not worth it.

And doing so was exactly what Ma Zhihua wanted!
Lin Yao wants Feng Hua International, and Luo Yaoming, as the largest individual shareholder, still has some influence.

As for that 100 million, Lin Yao has a way to get it back from Luo Yaoming later.

"Mr. Lin, Feng Hua's stock price has now dropped to 80 cents!" Luo Yaoming said to Lin Yao with a smile.

Lin Yao nodded: "It hasn't hit rock bottom yet, we can keep playing!"

It should be noted that Feng Hua International's stock price was initially two cents, and Lin Yao felt there was still room for it to fall.

Moreover, Ma Zhihua certainly won't admit defeat so easily; there's more to come.

Just then, a beautiful woman in business attire knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Lin, your short selling of Feng Hua International has already had a chain reaction! Now, major investors are all selling off!"

The beautiful woman looked at Lin Yao with adoration, her eyes practically drooling: "Your methods are simply amazing! Now many stock managers idolize you!"

"Anna, you're flattering me too much!" Lin Yao said with a smile.

This woman is named Shao Anna (from the movie "The King of Guns"), and she is a securities manager at Global Exchange Investment Company.

Lin Yao used her to short-sell Feng Hua International.

This woman is very resourceful and ambitious. Lin Yao valued this trait, which is why he chose to have her help him with his plans.

Shao Anna was very smart. She knew that Lin Yao had his own plans, so she just helped Lin Yao carry out the operations throughout the process and never expressed her own opinions.

Now it seems that Lin Yao's decision was so wise. Shao Anna knew that her commission this time would definitely be a lot, and... Lin Yao was so handsome and so rich, he was exactly her ideal partner.

Shao Anna smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Lin, this is not an exaggeration at all. Some people are even saying that you are a stock market god! Selling at the highest point and shorting Fenghua International at the same time, only someone with an extremely keen grasp of the market can do this!"

Lin Yao smiled and didn't say anything more.

Just listen to those kinds of words and leave it at that.

Hong Kong loves to create myths about people, such as stock market gurus, food gods, investment gods, and so on...

As someone who works in media, how could I not know this?

Moreover, Lin Yao relied entirely on insider information this time, without even using any trading skills.

For him, it was indeed not worth mentioning.

"Alright, Anna, enough with the small talk. I need your help to further drive down Feng Hua International's stock price!" Lin Yao said directly.

Anna was somewhat surprised: "Can we press it again?"

"They won't be able to hold out for long!" Lin Yao said with a sneer. "I reckon their funds are almost exhausted too!"

Shao Anna nodded: "Alright, you're the boss, you decide!" "By the way, Mr. Lin, would you do me the honor of having dinner together tonight?"

Lin Yao smiled and said, "We'll see. I've been too busy lately and might not have time. I'll invite you personally after this is over!"

Shao Anna was initially disappointed when Lin Yao said he was busy, but when she heard that Lin Yao would personally invite her back after the event, she cheered up and nodded, "Then I won't bother you any longer!"

After Shao Anna left, Luo Yaoming smiled and said to Lin Yao, "Mr. Lin, this Miss Shao Anna seems to have some interest in you!"

"Hehe, an ambitious young girl!" Lin Yao chuckled.

Shao Anna had just left when Ma Zhiquan came looking for her again.

Unlike his previous worried expression, Ma Zhiquan's face was full of smiles this time.

After all, Lin Yao's move completely stunned the members of the Citizens Party.

Three hundred million was invested, and in just one week, it went from being dirty money to clean money, and even made a small profit.

The intricacies involved are likely beyond the comprehension of the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Securities and Futures Commission.

After all, their attention was drawn to Ma Zhihua.

Zeng Guoshan and other bigwigs all praised Lin Yao's actions.

"Boss, this is an invitation to tomorrow's charity gala. Mr. Zeng, please make sure you can attend!" Ma Zhiquan placed an invitation directly on Lin Yao's desk.

Lin Yao smiled and said, "I know, I'll definitely make time to go!"

"Judging from your big smile, are the big shots quite satisfied with my performance?"

"That's fantastic!" Ma Zhiquan said with a smile. "It's simply breathtaking!"

"I reckon they'll be very interested in the casino business in Macau too!"

Lin Yao nodded: "You should seize this opportunity too! What's the point of always being a mouthpiece?"

Ma Zhiquan said with a smile, "Thanks to you, boss, I'll be able to get a promotion next month!"

"Haha, that's perfect!" Lin Yao said directly, "Just tell me where you need the money!"

Lin Yao used his Eye of Detection to glance at Ma Zhiquan; the guy's loyalty had now reached 80%.

This is quite good for a shrewd political broker.

"Thank you, boss!" Ma Zhiquan immediately expressed his gratitude.

However, Ma Zhiquan then said, "Boss, someone is investigating you!"

"Oh? Who is it?" Lin Yao asked curiously, "One of Ma Zhihua's men?"

"That's probably true, but they did it very discreetly. It seems Ma Zhihua also represents the interests of some people!" Ma Zhiquan said with a frown, "Mr. Zeng means that you should deal with Ma Zhihua as soon as possible, and you don't need to worry about anything else!"

"I understand!" Lin Yao nodded.

……

"Damn it, I actually got tricked by a gangster!" Ma Zhihua was quite angry after seeing Lin Yao's information.

People like Ma Zhihua never take gangsters seriously.

The group of people he kept were just his cover for his work.

He just didn't expect that a gangster would be allowed to sit at the table.

I've fallen for their trick, and it's embarrassing to admit it.

Fei Guoxiong and Xu Wei stood in front of Ma Zhihua, trembling with fear, and said, "Boss, one of the shareholders from Fenghua says he wants to audit the company's accounts!"

"What do you mean? You can't handle this?" Ma Zhihua was already angry, and hearing this made him even angrier.

His eyes were wide open as he stared at his two subordinates.

Fei Guoxiong and Xu Wei didn't speak, they just nodded.

"Damn it, how did I end up with two such useless people like you!" Even the usually composed Ma Zhihua couldn't help but swear.

Fei Guoxiong explained, "We've done everything, but the other side is like a mad dog, relentlessly attacking us!"

"Let them wait!" Ma Zhihua said coldly. "I'll deal with them when I'm free to do something else! Let them drag this out for as long as possible!"

"How's the search going with the people you sent?"

"Boss, we've found him. His name is Jackal, he's from Annam, a former special forces soldier, and now a mercenary!" Fei Guoxiong immediately said to Ma Zhihua, "But these guys are asking for a lot of money!"

"I've already lost so much, what's a little more?" Ma Zhihua said viciously. "I'm definitely going to get my revenge!"

“Okay, boss, I’ll contact him right away!” Fei Guoxiong said immediately.

Ma Zhihua said coldly, "Tell them that money is not a problem, but we cannot fail. Understand?"

"Understood, boss!" Fei Guoxiong nodded and went to handle the matter with the check.

That evening, at a roadside stall in Wan Chai, Fei Guoxiong saw the jackal with a rather flamboyant and outlandish appearance.

This guy had long hair that covered half of his face, and his men all looked fierce and menacing.

Moreover, these people seemed to have not eaten their fill in a long time, picking up bowls and plates and shoveling food into their mouths, appearing quite uncouth.
