Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

When a stock is exposed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange for falsifying its financial statements and frequently uses methods such as share consolidation and finding stock to artificially inflate its share price.

This is tantamount to directly labeling it as a fraudulent stock. As for the so-called company appointments and management issues, they can no longer prevent shareholders from losing confidence in this stock.

In the end, it might either be delisted or have to pay a huge fine.

Lin Shaoyang nodded. "I'll arrange for someone to do it right away. Let's try to see the first draft by tomorrow morning."

"Then, I transferred HK$1680 million into the Kunlun Mirror Foundation in my personal name."

These things piqued Lu Yuan's curiosity.

"Is there any significance to this number?"

"One is that I only have about 1600 million yuan available right now. I'll try to scrape together 1680 million yuan for good luck."

Lu Yuan was still somewhat puzzled, but Ah Biao, the street urchin, immediately understood.

"Hehe, there are things you, a little liar, don't know."

"Damn it, what did I lie to you about this time? I swear to God!"

"You and goddess Zhou Mei were definitely not just playing video games in the room."

Lu Yuan remained silent, while Lin Shaoyang and his assistant wore expressions that said, "Big brother, you're only just realizing this? Your reaction time is way too long!"

He looked at Ah Biao with pity.

"Holy crap, I can't be the only one who believed this liar, can I?"

Seeing that Ah Biao was about to overturn the table, Lu Yuan quickly stopped him.

"This isn't going to get over, is it? Let's get down to business. What does this number mean?"

"168, in Cantonese, means 'prosperity all the way'."

Lu Yuan suddenly understood

"So 668 means 'everything goes well'?"

"Sure, I like this one."

The barely suppressed satisfaction on Lu Yuan's face made Lin Shaoyang seem to have grasped something about this young coal boss.

It's a sense of relaxation where you can do things entirely according to your own preferences.

It seems that no problem is a problem for him; he can do everything he says and wants to do.

Lin Shaoyang did not think this was Lu Yuan's blind arrogance. What was Lu Yuan relying on?

Was it his past experiences? His unusual insights? Or some kind of shady relationship?

For example, the illegitimate child of a certain political and economic family?

But whatever it is, working with someone like that should be very enjoyable.

Lu Yuan stood up and picked up his teacup.

"Let's drink tea instead of wine to wish our first collaboration a success."

"Ah Biao, you join in too. Everyone who listens should get a piece of the action and join in the fun."

......

After everything was explained, Lu Yuan and the others ate some desserts, such as coconut cake and osmanthus cake.

Lu Yuan said he really couldn't eat anymore. If it weren't for the bean sprouts that the goddess fed him in the morning, he could have easily eaten two more custard buns.

"That's about it. Time is tight and the task is heavy. I'll leave the rest to Lao Lin. I'll wait for your news."

Lin Shaoyang nodded, but hesitated to speak.

"What, is there something else?"

"Do you have any plans for tonight? There's a party going on tonight. If you're free, why don't you come with me?"

"Oh? What kind of party is it? Who's attending?"

"It's a privately hosted dinner party, and the organizer happens to be a well-known securities firm. Why don't we go and get to know each other?"

"Ms. Zhou might be there too, and some items will be auctioned off for charity."

Lu Yuan suddenly realized that this was somewhat similar to the Bazaar Charity Gala in mainland China, where celebrities and elites from all walks of life would gather.

It's still lacking something; it's just a group of celebrities from the entertainment industry, without people from other circles participating.

Lu Yuan thought for a moment and decided to make contact with people from other industries to get acquainted with them.

"That's possible, but I need to go back to the hotel to check some information first. Are there any dress requirements for tonight?"

"This dinner is not open to the public, so dress as you like. I'll pick you up from the hotel around 4 p.m.

"No problem, then we'll head out now. See you tonight."

The two shook hands, and Lu Yuan led A Biao downstairs. When he went to pay the bill, he found that Lin Shaoyang had already paid.

After leaving the teahouse, Lu Yuan took out a wad of cash and handed it to A Biao.

"Here, this is your reward. Keep it safe and don't lose it."

Ah Biao wanted to push it away again; he had only intended to help and hadn't really wanted Lu Yuan's money.

But Lu Yuan insisted on giving it to him, so he had no choice but to accept it.

As the saying goes, "He who eats another's food is bound to do his bidding; he who takes another's money is obligated

Ah Biao, having accepted both food and gifts, couldn't very well bring up his goddess Zhou Mei.

Go buy a cell phone. If you want to contact me, you can just call this number. You don't have to wait for me downstairs.

Before parting, Lu Yuan handed A Biao a handwritten card.

......

Back at the hotel, most of the people who had gathered in the lobby that morning had dispersed, with only a few still stubbornly holding on.

Lu Yuan didn't care, he hadn't cared anyway, and went straight back to his room.

I never expected that even though I've been gone for half a day, my goddess Zhou Mei is still asleep.

And he sleeps very soundly, with slight snoring coming out, which is kind of cute.

It seems that working day and night for the past two days has really taken its toll.

Not wanting to disturb Zhou Mei, Lu Yuan tiptoed to the desk and took out his laptop from his bag.

After looking around and confirming that there was no WiFi, I took out a network cable from my bag.

05 was the year that WIFI gradually became more widespread, and a small number of newly built hotels already offered paid WIFI services.

But it's clear that the Peninsula Hotel isn't included.

The equipment upgrades for such large, high-end hotels tend to be relatively slow.

Having no other choice, Lu Yuan pulled another network cable out of his bag.

Fortunately, when I was packing my luggage, the laptop bag was put into my carry-on suitcase intact.

Otherwise, based on my future habits, I wouldn't carry anything except a power source.

Plug one end of the network cable into the computer and the other end into the wall socket.

I also paid HK$300 a day for internet access.

Lu Yuan mentally scoffed, "Even going online is this expensive? Or is it just the Peninsula Hotel's brand premium?"

At that time, most hotels in Hong Kong charged for internet access, and the cost was not low, usually around HK$200.

Lu Yuan, however, was clearly not in the mood to deal with these things at the moment and immediately began searching for information about the stock market.

In particular, one should check all those names that one has heard of in later generations, those names that may have changed.

Moreover, the two names I heard this morning sounded familiar, but I just couldn't remember them.

But one thing is certain: these two will definitely have a place in the financial world in the future.

So, you might find yourself searching and, through a particular company or event, awaken a vague memory.

This is called the associative memory method.

Another point is that Lu Yuan's time is limited, and he cannot stay in Hong Kong for too long. Moreover, there are many things waiting for him to do later.

Lu Yuan then decided to go for something big.

According to the previous plan, to destroy BlueFocus Fund, there were three steps. The first step was to open the refrigerator door.

No, no, no, Lu Yuan shook his head. He couldn't let his mind wander at this time.

I guess I shouldn't eat too much at lunch.
