Chapter 220: Imperial Governor's Office Takes Notice! Lu Qingshan to Make a Public Statement

Lu Qingshan walked to the trading desk and picked up the phone on the table.

Everyone held their breath, waiting for the next move of this stock god who had just performed a miracle.

"Chairman Li, this is Lu Qingshan."

On the other end, Li Fuying's slightly weary voice came through.

Obviously, today's market fluctuations also gave him great pressure.

The senior leadership of the Far East Association was holding an emergency meeting, discussing the massive impact brought by this mysterious mainland investor.

"Qing Shan, today's market is too crazy," Li Fuying's voice trembled slightly; this tone sounded especially shocking to Ye Ning and the others, and even the chairman of the Far East Association was stunned by Lu Qingshan's influence.

"You alone make the whole market tremble."

"Everyone is talking about you now. All financial institutions on Hong Kong Island are analyzing your moves, trying to discern your next step."

"I just received several calls, all inquiring about you. Executives at HSBC, Standard Chartered, and Bank of East Asia are probing your background."

"Even the Imperial Governor's Office is watching this. Earlier, the Secretary-General of the Imperial Governor's Office called me personally to ask about you."

Ye Ning heard this and a flash of shock crossed her eyes.

The Imperial Governor's Office is now watching the boss; this influence has already exceeded her imagination. Wang Yuyun and Li Zhi'an exchanged glances, their eyes full of disbelief.

Lu Qingshan's voice remained calm, but his heart was secretly stirred.

In his previous life he had barely left the county town, yet now he could make the Imperial Governor's Office monitor his moves; this feeling made him both excited and deeply responsible.

"Chairman Li, I'd like to ask a favor," Lu Qingshan said, causing Li Fuying's breathing to become rapid on the other end.

"I need to hold a small press conference."

"It would be best to invite the main financial media of Hong Kong Island. Financial reporters from the South China Morning Post, The Sun, Ming Pao, and Ta Kung Pao must attend."

"Also invite hosts of the financial programs from Hong Kong Island Radio and Asia Television."

There was a few-second silence on the other end, and Li Fuying's breathing grew even more rapid.

Ye Ning could hear the tense voice from the other side; evidently this request put great pressure on the chairman of the Far East Association.

"Press conference?" Li Fuying's voice trembled, even showing some Fear.

"What news do you intend to release?"

"Qing Shan, your influence is enormous now. In a single day you caused the Hang Seng Index to drop by more than 160 points."

"If you make a public statement, the entire financial market of Hong Kong Island will tremble as well."

Li Fuying's voice was filled with deep concern, even sounding pleading.

After today's events, he deeply recognized Lu Qingshan's influence.

Any public statement from such a figure could trigger massive market turbulence.

"I have some views on Hong Kong Island's economy that I want to share," Lu Qingshan said, making the breathing on the other end even more rapid.

Ye Ning gripped her notebook tightly, her palms beginning to sweat.

She could feel the importance of this press conference; it would determine the direction of the entire Hong Kong Island financial market.

"Qing Shan, are you sure you want to do this?" Li Fuying's voice carried deep concern.

"If you state a bearish view, the whole Hong Kong Island stock market might crash. Many investors have already suffered heavy losses; another plunge could truly cause someone to jump off a building."

"If you switch to a bullish stance, it could also cause even greater volatility. All investors are now waiting for your statement; every word you utter will be magnified infinitely."

Li Fuying's voice was thick with concern, even showing some Fear. He already sensed the approaching financial storm.

Lu Qingshan's gaze deepened as he looked at the night view of Hong Kong Island from the window, already having a complete plan in his mind.

This press conference will be the crucial step for him to truly cement his position in Hong Kong Island's financial market.

"Chairman Li, there are some words that must be spoken," Lu Qingshan said, his voice becoming steadier, each word revealing unquestionable resolve.

"Otherwise the market will remain in a state of panic. The entire financial system of Hong Kong Island will be impacted."

"I need to give investors a clear signal, so they know the market's upcoming direction."

"Trust me, I know what I'm doing. I won't let Hong Kong Island's financial market crash."

A longer silence followed on the other end; Li Fuying seemed to be engaged in an intense mental struggle.

Ye Ning could hear the rapid breathing from the other side, clearly this decision put great pressure on the chairman of the Far East Association.

Lu Qingjun listened nearby, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He walked to his older brother and whispered, "Second brother, might this press conference be too risky?"

"If we say the wrong thing, the loss could be enormous."

Lu Qingshan patted his younger brother's shoulder, a gentle glint in his eyes. "Don't worry, I have it under control."

Finally, Li Fuying's voice came through, carrying a hint of helplessness and deep concern.

"Alright, I agree. But you must guarantee you won't say anything overly radical."

"The current market can't withstand a bigger shock. Many investors have already suffered heavy losses; another plunge could cause someone to jump off a building."

"I will arrange the press conference in the Far East Association's conference hall at 3 p. m. tomorrow afternoon."

"I will notify all major financial media, but you must guarantee you won't say anything that would incite market panic."

After hanging up, Lu Qingshan turned to face everyone present.

A certain profound light flickered in his eyes, making everyone feel an inexplicable mix of anticipation and tension.

"You all must attend tomorrow's press conference," Lu Qingshan's voice grew solemn, and this tone made everyone feel the gravity of the matter.

"I need you to cooperate with my presentation. This press conference will decide our upcoming operational strategy."

A flash of confusion crossed Ye Ning's eyes, but more so anticipation; her voice carried tension and excitement.

"Boss, what will you say at the press conference?"

"Will you continue to be bearish, or change your stance?"

"With your current influence, any statement could cause massive market turbulence. All investors on Hong Kong Island are waiting for your declaration."

Wang Yuyun couldn't help but interject, "Yes, boss. Rumors are spreading outside that a single sentence from you can determine the direction of Hong Kong Island's stock market."

All major securities firms are analyzing your trading strategy, trying to find a pattern.

Li Zhi'an pushed his glasses and added: "Boss, I just heard the traders outside discussing that you have become the Hong Kong Island stock market's trendsetter."

Many institutional investors are watching your next move.

Lu Qingshan smiled mysteriously, and that smile gave everyone an inexplicable sense of anticipation. In his eyes flickered a deep light, as if he had already seen the market's future direction.

"You will know tomorrow." His voice carried a mysterious Confidence.

"Now, let's celebrate first. We made two hundred million Hong Kong dollars today; this achievement deserves a celebration."

"And after tomorrow's press conference, our profits may become even more astonishing."
