Chapter 311
Foreign speculators who gathered to celebrate had lost control.
These Wall Street bigwigs were on the verge of collapse as they watched the Hang Seng Index approach 8,000 points.
No matter how they smashed the market and spread panic news, the Hang Seng Index had been rising rapidly.
They seemed to be facing a prehistoric beast that swallowed the starry sky, and the other side was swallowing up their few remaining ammunition bite by bite.
Some people covered their eyes in despair.
Some people took out the cross and recited prayers, hoping that God could save him.
Some people poured red wine into their mouths in big gulps, on the one hand trying to numb themselves with alcohol, on the other hand he might not be able to drink such expensive wine in the future.
A good celebration party turned into a hell on earth.
Robert crossed his legs and shook the red wine glass, and his photography-loving bodyguard took a picture of this scene with a Sony camera he carried with him.
"Well taken, let's call this photo the Last Supper of the Short Sellers.
If I participate in the photography competition, I will definitely win the grand prize."
"Boss, you are really joking."
After the market opened in the afternoon.
Some investors who were not determined enough took this opportunity to start unwinding.
But at the close of the market, the Hang Seng Index still rose to 8,200 points due to the crazy buying of investors and the national team.
A 36% increase from the day before!
The entire venue was in a mess, with broken bottles and expensive tableware on the ground.
Many people tried to commit suicide by jumping out of the window, but they were forcibly stopped by the security guards of the Rockefeller Building.
This gamble caused their wealth of hundreds of millions of dollars to evaporate. I believe that after tonight, many institutions on Wall Street will be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Robert looked at the various postures of the short sellers with cold eyes and turned a deaf ear to their cries.
These people are of no use.
Even if they are given a chance to start over, they will still bet their entire fortune without hesitation next time.
What surprised Robert was that the president of Proton Fund had no intention of giving up until now.
He shouted with a hoarse voice:
"We haven't lost yet. The national team of Longguo can't always be in a state of strict defense. We can extend the loan to the next month. As long as we don't deliver one day, we won't lose one day!"
The people who were in despair just now were stunned and felt that this made sense.
The national team of Longguo can't always be in this state today. As long as the delivery time is extended, they still have a chance.
Maybe the Hang Seng Index will fall by then?
Under his crazy encouragement, the shorts ignited the flames of hope again and began to call their sponsors for help.
Robert was slightly shocked when he saw this scene. These people really don't regard themselves as outsiders.
Thinking of this, he walked outside and called Wang Lei.
"Boss, congratulations, congratulations."
"What's up? It's a bit noisy here."
Robert could faintly hear people cheering and shouting "Long live Mr. Wang."
"Proton Fund plans to postpone the delivery of the term loan and fight to the end."
"Haha, then they have made a wrong calculation. With the national team leading the way, many domestic state-owned enterprises plan to go public in Hong Kong City, and domestic investors will also flock to Hong Kong City. It is almost impossible for him to expect Hong Kong stocks to fall."
Robert immediately smelled the smell of money:
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"Transfer all the funds recently raised by Cayman Capital to Hong Kong stocks. By the way, start selling ASML shares on a large scale and transfer all the recovered money to Hong Kong City!"
"Boss, I understand. Let's find another time to talk about Husky's listing."
After hanging up the phone, Robert was full of confidence. Following his boss, he avoided many detours.
As for the Proton Fund that is fighting to the end, even if it does not go bankrupt, it will be miserable.
This is indeed the case. After entering September, Hong Kong stocks ushered in a new life.
The stock market continued to rise, breaking through the 9,000-point mark in September.
This means that Hong Kong has successfully thwarted the conspiracy of foreign hot money to reap the Hong Kong stock market and Hang Seng Index futures.
The Hong Kong government also named several major families that initiated the buyback in this battle at the press conference, and praised the Wang Group and the White Dragon Consortium.
The Wang family fought against foreign hot money for a month on its own, giving the public a new understanding of the chaebol.
Being responsible is not just talk. At the critical moment, the Wang family really dared to roll up their sleeves and fight with foreign hot money.
What made people applaud was that the Hong Kong police arrested Hansbo, who had been making sarcastic remarks.
This young man who was in the limelight a year ago was actually accused of being a spy trained abroad. Judging from the evidence released by the police, he had planned his attack on Wang Zhengyi from the first time.
Those who once supported him and those who were bewitched to attack Lao Wang all felt a burning pain on their faces.The media also changed their direction, saying that Wang Zhengyi was a responsible entrepreneur who fulfilled his whistleblower duties very well.
Some people also praised Wang for his excellent vision and said that the early sale of the Lantau Half City project and the Lantau High-end Luxury Homes project was a stroke of genius.
If it weren't for those questionable sales, the Wang Group would not have been able to come up with so much cash to maintain the stock price at a critical moment.
What is even more praised is that Wang Zhengyi and Wang Lei bought a large amount of blue-chip stocks when the entire market was not optimistic.
It was a real bottom-fishing at the bottom. Now the Hang Seng Index has risen by more than 2,000 points, which is obviously a huge profit.
The Wang Group, which received flowers and applause, did not take the opportunity to promote itself and bind people's patriotic feelings.
Instead, it announced a series of donations in the future.
"Wang will set up a bankruptcy relief foundation. Every resident of Hong Kong City can apply for a living assistance fund, and Wang Group will try to provide them with job opportunities."
While donating, Wang Group did not forget its own employees.
"Every employee of Wang Group can receive a temporary corporate care fund every month on top of the original salary increase this year, which is equivalent to a disguised salary increase of HK$1,000!"
These two pieces of news have brought Wang Group's reputation to an unprecedented height in Hong Kong.
Every worker working in Wang Group is proud to be a Wang employee.
Just when people thought that people's pursuit of Wang Group would slowly cool down, Longguo's news broadcast specifically praised Wang Group's outstanding performance in this financial storm.
The official daily newspaper also made a page of follow-up reports, including photos of Wang Lei raising his arms and the whole nation rushing to the exchange.
Wang Zhengyi saw these reports and flattery, and felt proud but also scared.
People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being fat. Although the reports are all facts, he still feels that it is not good to continue like this.
Wang Lei felt his anxiety and consoled him:
"Dad, will you be so proud of this? Do you think you are so great that everyone should flatter you and give in to you? Do you want to challenge the national team?"
"No, I have a good attitude and it is past the time for me to be proud."
"That's fine. Our family has made enough money and has even expanded overseas. If you honestly do charity work and give your wealth back to society, everyone will remember your kindness!"
"That makes sense. I will donate more buildings to domestic universities and build more bridges and roads."
