Hong Kong variety show: An undercover agent from Infernal Affairs? I'm not human anymore!

Although he had his underlings inflate the customer flow by more than 1, a customer flow of over 6 is still extremely alarming.

Tian Yangsheng and Tian Yangsi were also quite excited at this moment!

Although the back-end system hasn't yet tallied the first day's revenue, it's already foreseeable that it will be a very substantial figure.

"Ah Si, how much did you collect in total from the short selling of Hutchison Whampoa and Cheung Kong stocks?"

That's right, Ma Zhichao started shorting Li Huanggua's stock before the business even opened.

In particular, Changjiang is the company behind hundreds of supermarkets.

Meanwhile, the company has 15 supermarkets on Hong Kong Island, with assets exceeding 300 billion. Now, it's being crushed by its own New Era Supermarket.

Tomorrow, Cheung Kong Group's stock will definitely plummet!

Tian Yangsi: "Reporting to the boss, regarding short selling, we have used 15 billion yuan."

Ma Zhichao smiled and said, "15 billion is a bit little, but it's enough for us to make a lot of money."

……

the next day,

All the news in Hong Kong reported on the opening of "New Era Supermarket" as a front-page headline.

New Era Supermarket successfully opened, attracting over 7 customers daily!

"Daily foot traffic at 100 supermarkets plummets by 168 people – a brutal winter!"

"Ma Daheng vs. Li Ka-shing: Ma Daheng emerges victorious!"

Li Ka-shing's empire has crumbled, and his supermarket empire is on the verge of collapse!

The debate over Ma and Li is going on everywhere!

And then at 9:00...

The stock market opened.

Sure enough, during the bidding period, the Yangtze River Group's stock price was completely down.

9:30, trading officially begins.

Wow~~~~

The stock of Cheung Kong Group plummeted...

……

Chairman's Office, Cheung Kong Group.

The table was covered with today's newspapers, making it look a bit messy.

Li Huanggua, staring at the stock charts on his computer, clutched his heart, a sharp pain shooting through him…

The second update is here.

Chapter 211 Ma Sir's net worth exceeds 10 billion! Top Agent

"Go check if Ma Zhichao has shorted the stock!"

When Li Huanggua saw the red on the computer screen (red in Hong Kong stocks means a drop), he immediately thought of Ma Zhichao and quickly instructed his secretary.

"Yes, boss." The secretary left.

Then Li Huanggua called the Ministry of Finance and told them to quickly raise funds to buy a large amount of Yangtze River stocks.

All Hong Kong citizens can now see that with the overwhelming arrival of "New Era Supermarkets," the value of 100 supermarkets is bound to be halved.

So, sell all your Yangtze River stocks right away!

The stock price of Changjiang started to fall steadily from 9:30.

Meanwhile, Li Huanggua's finance department quickly raised funds and then borrowed a lot of money from HSBC, with which they had the closest relationship, and began to buy large amounts of Yangtze River stock to prevent it from falling.

Citizens sell cucumbers, and Li buys them.

For a time, the stock price decline became very small, and the drop was slow.

……

"Amazing!"

Ma Zhichao was observing the rise and fall of Yangtze River's stock price from the perspective of the protection company.

I can't help but sigh.

"This Li Huanggua is well-funded and has HSBC backing him. It's really not easy to take him down."

After thinking for a moment, Ma Zhichao asked Tian Yangsheng, "Do you have any ideas?"

Tian Yangsheng: "We can find some work for a hundred supermarkets..."

Then he came up with a wicked plan: find a few sharp-tongued old ladies, the kind who are long-time members of Baijia (a supermarket chain), and have them cause trouble at Baijia supermarkets. For example, they might buy some groceries, be dissatisfied with them, and want to return them, but Baijia refuses, and then they might get into a conflict with the Baijia supermarket staff...

Tian Yangsheng: "This demonstrates both our 'New Era Supermarket's' no-questions-asked return policy and our high-quality service! A stark contrast to other supermarkets."

Finally, Tian Yangsheng added, "Naturally, reporters had to follow and film all of this..."

Tian Yangsheng: "Boss, what do you think of my plan?"

Ma Zhichao: "…………"

A serious look on his face.

"Ah Sheng... I always thought you were a kind person, but I never expected... sigh (shakes head in disappointment), you're actually a bad person!"

"I, Ma Zhichao, am a man of integrity, a nemesis of evil, and I am ashamed to associate with someone like you!"

Tian Yangsheng: "…………"

My inner monologue screams: Boss, how do you manage to be so shameless?!

Tian Yangsheng: "Then, boss, we don't want this plan anymore?"

Ma Zhichao said with a serious face, "No, this was your idea after all. Wouldn't you be very sad if I didn't let you do it? I, Ma Zhichao, am not that kind of person!"

Tian Yangsheng: "…………"

"Then I'll go take care of it..."

"Go ahead..."

Ma Zhichao waved and watched Tian Yangsheng leave, sighing inwardly. He felt that Tian Yangsheng was gradually going astray by following him... Bah, it was a marketing tactic!

Not bad!

He's talented!

Ma Zhichao suddenly remembered something and quickly called out, "Wait... Ah Sheng, come back!"

Tian Yangsheng turned back: "Boss, what can I do for you?"

Ma Zhichao: "Our salary is three times higher than that of Baijia Supermarket. Go and advertise it, and poach Baijia's employees."

To launder money, Ma Zhichao paid his underlings very high wages; others earned 5000, but he earned 1.5, since they were all his loyal underlings.

Tian Yangsheng wondered, "But won't it be a loss to pay such high salaries to outsiders?"

Ma Zhichao didn't care: "First, there's a 3-month internship period, and we pay them 3000 yuan... Then our service standards are very high. When the time comes, we'll assess them, and if their service attitude doesn't meet the standards, they'll be fired. If they can meet the standards, what's wrong with paying them? Anyway, not many people will meet the requirements."

Tian Yangsheng nodded, "The boss is very thoughtful."

"Yes, boss!"

……

11 o'clock in the morning.

Two elderly women got off the bus and went into the Baijia Supermarket.

"There are so few people, not many customers."

"Yeah, why are there so few people? Did they all go to the New Era Supermarket across the street?"

“I went to New Era Supermarket yesterday, and I have to say, it’s really good.”

"I like it too. The dishes there are arranged so beautifully, and there are no rotten leaves or anything like that."

"Exactly, it's far inferior to any of the hundred supermarkets."

The two chatted, completely oblivious to the displeased expressions on the faces of the supermarket staff around them.

Anger +1 +1 +1 +1...

The two elderly women followed their usual route and finally arrived at the fruit and vegetable section.

What was presented to them was a pile of wilted and yellowed vegetables, clearly not fresh from today, but probably from yesterday.

Moreover, it was arranged in a very messy manner.

"This food is terrible! It looks like it was cooked yesterday!"

"Yeah, it's a mess."

Very disgusted.

The waiter nearby was getting increasingly angry...

Next, the two old ladies complained that picking and choosing made the vegetables even more messy. Then they picked two cabbages, peeled off the outer layers, and good heavens, they peeled off two-thirds of them, leaving only the tenderest third inside.

Then, she picked through the other green vegetables, removing all the withered and yellow leaves, leaving only the tender green ones in her basket...

The waiter nearby was getting increasingly angry...

"Let's go, that's all for now."

"The vegetables here are terrible. I should have gone to the New Era Supermarket; their vegetables are the freshest and look the best..."

"Let's go over there!"

"The service here is terrible, and the food is bad too..."

"Look at those waiters, their faces are all dark, as if their parents have died..."

The waiter's temper had been building up to its limit, and then, with a bang, it exploded.
