Chapter 516: Will It Win? It
Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the group of reporters was stunned.
Only one female reporter muttered to herself, "Could it be that you want to go long inside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"
Hearing the female reporter's words, the crowd looked at Chen Jiajun with astonishment and immediately broke into an uproar.
Chen Jiajun continued, "Why not! We are people of Hong Kong, so naturally, we must do something for Hong Kong! Soros, that old guy, is very annoying. I am prepared to coordinate with the Special Administrative Region Government to drive this greedy old crocodile out of our hometown!"
Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the few reporters who had been whispering slanders about Chen Jiajun earlier felt as if they had been slapped in the face, feeling a burning, stinging pain.
Chen Jiajun did not say too much to the reporters; simply stating his position was enough.
Those wealthy people in Hong Kong are not so easily fooled.
If Chen Jiajun and the other Chinese Capital Merchants did not fight a beautiful battle, they would never follow suit.
The commotion outside soon reached the interior of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, attracting the gazes of many people.
The people inside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange were all mourning like they had lost their parents, but upon seeing Chen Jiajun and the others, a glimmer of hope appeared in their eyes.
But more people were deeply mocking.
If not for Chen Jiajun's status, many people would have likely already started calling him crazy.
Under the sniping of Soros, the Hang Seng Index had fallen from a high of over 16,000 points to the current 6,000-plus points.
In just half a year, it had dropped nearly 10,000 points.
At this time, only a fool would enter the market to go long. Not to mention those small investors and retail investors.
Seeing the gazes cast by everyone, Bao Yugang asked Chen Jiajun in a low voice, "A Jun, won't there be any accidents? How come I feel like this is no different from gambling!"
Chen Jiajun reassured Bao Yugang, saying, "Don't worry, it's a guaranteed win!"
Although Chen Jiajun's voice was not loud, it was still heard by many people.
Hearing Chen Jiajun's confident words, many people couldn't help but start whispering: "Does this Big Boss Chen Jiajun... think he really is the God of Wealth! If this can actually rise, I'll do a handstand and crap!"
"Maybe the Big Boss has some insider information?" another person retorted.
"Insider information?" That person sneered and continued to mock: "Unless Soros has an accident and kicks the bucket... no, even if Soros kicks the bucket it's useless, unless those international speculators all kick the bucket one by one, then it might be possible! If Chen Jiajun can really do this, he wouldn't just be the so-called 'Hong Kong King', he should be the King of the World!"
Hearing the words of the mocking guy, those who had some hope in their eyes dimmed again.
Chen Jiajun did not care about the mockery around him! Because he had just spoken on the phone with people from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the counterattack was starting now! Having endured Soros and these international speculators for so long, everyone was brimming with anger.
So either don't make a move, but if you do, you must make a name for yourself! Chen Jiajun said to Luo Minsheng beside him, "The time has come, start!"
"Alright, Boss!" Luo Minsheng lowered his status, specifically acting as a trader for Chen Jiajun today.
Following Luo Minsheng's operation, a sum of money was immediately dumped into the stock market.
A moment later, the Hang Seng Index finally stirred a little, and the index, which had been falling for this period, suddenly jumped, rising by five points.
Those in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange who saw this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.
Some even pinched themselves hard to confirm this wasn't a dream.
The Hang Seng Index finally rose?
"It rose, it rose!" Bao Yugang hugged Chen Jiajun's shoulders and shook him.
Chen Jiajun, however, appeared very calm: "This is just the beginning!"
Sure enough, just as Chen Jiajun's voice fell, the Hang Seng Index jumped again, rising another four points this time.
Now the entire exchange couldn't hold it together and began to discuss it one after another.
The guy who had been full of mockery just now had his sneer freeze on his face.
It rose, it really rose, and it rose by nine points all at once? How is this possible!
And this upward trend did not stop, with constant increases of one or two points.
In the past half year, this was the first time such a situation had occurred.
This left the financial institutions and retail investors in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange completely dumbfounded.
However, someone soon discovered that something was wrong; this way of rising could definitely not be pulled up by Chen Jiajun alone.
There must be help from the Special Administrative Region Government behind it, mobilizing massive amounts of capital.
With this move, let alone the financial institutions and retail investors at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, even the international speculators were completely confused.
After they came to their senses, they immediately mobilized funds and began to smash the market frantically. But doing so only caused the Hang Seng Index to fall slightly by a few points, yet the next moment it actually rose again!
"Hiss!" Many retail investors gasped, muttering to themselves: "How much capital did the Special Administrative Region Government mobilize this time!"
"This drop must be the international speculators smashing the market, right?"
"It must be, but... it seems useless, right?"
In the following period, the international speculators smashed the market frantically, and after the Hang Seng Index fell for a while, it rose against the trend again.
Every time they smashed it, the magnitude of the rise was even greater and more fierce! This move completely baffled the other side.
However, the financial institutions and retail investors at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange were still waiting to see what would happen, as this matter was too magical.
It made them feel somewhat unreal, so they planned to wait and see a bit more.
Chen Jiajun smiled slightly; this was the effect he wanted, so he said to Luo Minsheng, "A Sheng, continue!"
"Yes, Boss!" Luo Minsheng nodded and continued to sprinkle money into the stock market.
Watching the numbers jump constantly, with the index having risen more than a hundred points compared to when the market opened, the retail investors finally couldn't sit still and immediately followed the trend to enter the market, buying long along with Chen Jiajun.
"Holy shit!" Bao Yugang even blurted out a profanity, looking at Chen Jiajun excitedly: "It really f***ing rose?"
Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "It's alright, after all, there is the Special Administrative Region Government coordinating!"
"Hiss, I forgot about that point!" Bao Yugang calmed down and said: "After you came back from the hometown, you held a meeting with those people from the Special Administrative Region Government! So you called us here today..."
Chen Jiajun laughed: "It's a show! Look and see if people are following in!"
Bao Yugang nodded; retail investors were following in one after another. Small and medium-sized securities institutions were all taking the opportunity to buy long.
The herd effect had already formed, and the international speculators had no way to smash today's market.
Chen Jiajun smiled: "Alright, our goal has been achieved. A Sheng, dump all the remaining money! Let's go eat, and come back in the afternoon!"
Hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Luo Minsheng smiled and dumped all the funds into the stock market, then followed Chen Jiajun as he left.
Seeing the numbers constantly rising on the electronic screen, everyone acted as if they had gone mad.
In just a single morning, the Hang Seng Index was pulled up by nearly three hundred points!
For the current market in Hong Kong, this was simply a miracle.
Chen Jiajun and his party left; the Reporters could not stop them, but they could still pester the ordinary retail investors.
They soon learned of the astonishing move Chen Jiajun had made at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and one by one, they were so excited they could not help themselves, immediately returning to rush their drafts, and by noon, the news was published.
The news frantically touted Chen Jiajun and the group of Chinese Capital Merchants, calling them the saviors of Hong Kong.
"Alright, turn off the TV, it's too cheesy!" Chen Jiajun said, speechless.
Inside the Peninsula Hotel, a group of Big Bosses were dining.
The TV in the private room happened to be playing this news, making Chen Jiajun feel a wave of discomfort.
Huo Yingnan smiled and said: "A Jun, your skin is still a bit too thin! Let the media tout if they want to! Doesn't that just happen to achieve the effect you want?"
Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes and said: "Attracting some retail investors is fine, but if you want those truly wealthy people to be moved, I'm afraid one day of victory isn't enough! Which wealthy person would believe the media's touting? Isn't it all about looking at the track record?"
"That is the logic!" Lin Zeming said with a smile: "But A Jun, how long can this move of yours last? Even with our help, this bit of money is still a drop in the bucket!"
Chen Jiajun smiled and said: "I have two trump cards, but it is not yet the time to reveal them!"
"Tsk, as long as I see that you kid have a plan in mind, that's fine!" Bao Yugang smacked his lips and said: "We old folks are truly getting old!"
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore, to our first battle victory, cheers!" Huo Yingnan smiled and raised his glass.
"Cheers!"
A group of Big Bosses raised their glasses to celebrate in the private room, and this scene was captured by a Reporter who had snuck in.
It was subsequently put directly on the newspaper, with the content: "Chinese Chamber of Commerce celebrates in advance, is it true confidence? Or are they out of their minds?"
No one cared about the content of the newspaper, but seeing these people raising their glasses, quite a few people in Hong Kong had some thoughts.
Whether it was Chen Jiajun, Huo Yingnan, Bao Yugang, Lin Zeming, or other Chinese Capital Merchants, they had all dealt with them before.
It might be possible to say that Chen Jiajun alone had lost his mind, but so many Big Bosses losing their minds together? This immediately made those with a keen sense of smell catch a different scent. (End of chapter)
