Chapter 457: Xu Minghao

After this battle, Bang Geng no longer dared to go so often.

After Liu Guangtian got married, learning that Liu Guangtian was wealthy, he brought over a copper furnace costing twenty‑five, hoping to make a profit.

In the end Liu Guangtian, not wanting trouble, only paid twenty.

Bang Geng, seeing no profit, temporarily abandoned the idea of going to the black market.

Liu Guangtian only then felt at ease.

At the same time he also knew that many people already knew about his purchases.

Therefore he also stopped buying small items, and settled down to live peacefully with He Yushui.

May 1969, Gangdao.

Yang Qing, through Qingyun Consulting Company, bought a huge tract of land in Tseung Kwan O, including mountainous land of more than 160 mu.

Because the location was remote, the price was cheap, under one hundred thousand per mu.

Subsequently, Yang Qing began planning the Azure Rainbow Media Film City project.

Shao Yi sensed a huge threat.

He had Zhang Che intensify the production of wuxia films.

Soon after, Wang Yu ran away, delivering a massive blow to Shao Corp.

Yang Qing was ecstatic.

Shao Corp's decline began with Zou Wenhui's departure; previously Shao Corp was strong because it valued talent, now it is declining because talent is leaving.

Shao Yi aimed to span both film and television windows; his vision was keen, but the shift in his industry's focus eroded the competitiveness of his core business.

Moreover, those who left were top talent, directly competing with Shao Corp.

It would be strange if Shao Corp didn't decline.

However, Yang Qing's current focus is not Eternal Splendor but the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange; after a series of improvements last year, Gangdao's economy has erupted again.

Both the stock market and the housing market began to rise.

Especially the housing market; with Qi Dezun's help, during that period in Imperial City, they also secured several prime parcels in Zhong Huan.

Da Song Jin Lou has been under construction for half a year, its foundation is set, and it is rising at a pace of one floor every five days.

According to Yang Qing's plan, Tian Guoliang realized he would return to Da Song Bank.

Having worked at the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange for almost a year, he still felt a bit reluctant.

But the workload from the three business groups was too much for him.

The Xu Minghao hired by General Yang, after more than a month of familiarization, was already able to head the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange.

Xu Minghao graduated from Binfa University and spent five years striving on Flower Street.

He achieved modest success.

However, what Yang Qing wanted was not his Earning Money ability, but his familiarity with the securities market.

Azure Dragon Securities is a high‑profile securities firm, so its standards are also high.

It hasn't been long; it merely pushed the privatization and relisting of Junyi Warehouse.

And Junyi Warehouse remains Yang Qing's own enterprise.

After Junyi Warehouse's privatization, Yang Rong acquired some docks and warehouses from Yang Qing, giving Shunfeng Express its own dock and large warehouse, bridging the shortfall in its maritime transport.

With ample maritime capacity, Haojing and Gangdao's Shunfeng Express became a unified whole.

Yang Qing entered the Azure Dragon Securities Exchange and first saw a highly efficient display board hall (the stock price exhibition hall), and was very satisfied.

Further inside is the business hall, housing several hundred telephone stations, with over sixty operators now.

(In the past, stock trades were all conducted by phone; of course most retail investors in many places used the trading hall for spot trades, and telephone service was considered a VIP service.)

There are also dozens of business managers constantly handling their client affairs, busy beyond measure.

Xu Minghao explained to Yang Qing.

"Now our Azure Dragon is using the most efficient and reliable trading system in the world."

"It is definitely leading in Gangdao."

Most advanced? After electronic trading systems emerge in a few years, this will become the least efficient system.

Fortunately, that will be after the Stock Crash, and then we can replace the system.

The current system only needs to meet the trading demand for the next few years.

"Has it undergone extreme testing?"

"Also, if it's long‑duration extreme trading, how many people are needed, how should personnel be allocated, and is there a contingency plan?"

Xu Minghao was left speechless by Yang Qing's questions, because with the current trading volume, there is simply no need.

"General Yang, according to..."

Yang Qing cut him off before he could finish.

"We must test the system's limits, as well as the limits of manpower requirements."

"We must have a clear understanding."

"Because no one knows when the stock market will suddenly flare up."

"Only with a clear understanding can we handle most emergencies."

"And the stock market is the place with the most emergencies."

"If you don't do this well, huge mistakes may occur."

"Your ability will be doubted by me."

Without waiting for his excuses, Yang Qing continued.

"Also, our bill trading mechanism must be deployed quickly; stock certificates themselves are not hard to counterfeit."

"Only by using our own anti‑counterfeit marked bills can we ensure transaction safety, ensure stock safety, and keep the stocks within Azure Dragon as much as possible."

"Blue Dragon must have a sufficient amount of shares before the trading volume can be activated, and only then can we earn money."

"Understood?"

Xu Minghao listened with sweat streaming down his back; he prides himself as a financial elite, feeling smug over a modest achievement, but compared with Chief Yang's big‑picture vision, he is nothing.

Chief Yang's trading rules are among the most advanced in the world.

This is also the direction I will focus my research on in the future.

"Understood, I will quickly grasp the entire system's data, make arrangements in advance, and ensure the exchange's efficiency and safety."

"For any unreasonable aspects, I will also make adjustments and try to fix the exchange's loopholes."

Yang Qing nodded.

"Very good, complete it as soon as possible."

"Shunfeng Express, we will submit the listing application shortly; our exchange will fully assume the issuance responsibilities."

"This will serve as the final drill; thereafter our exchange will handle a large number of companies' listing businesses."

"Don't let any leaks happen."

Xu Minghao promised.

"I guarantee to complete the mission."

Yang Qing looked at Tian Guoliang.

"Chief Tian, the Black Tortoise investment bank, be ready; there are plenty of high‑quality stocks, don't miss them."

"Opportunities to get rich are few; with such uniquely favorable conditions, if you can't handle it, Black Tortoise may also have to give it up."

Tian Guoliang lost Blue Dragon and does not want to lose Black Tortoise again.

Although Black Tortoise is not yet famous, it now holds shares of dozens of high‑quality listed companies; once the stock prices soar, Black Tortoise will profit.

Black Tortoise's value will increase by several to dozens of times.

It may even outshine the Imperial City.

Black Tortoise's share will also be astronomical.

"Chief Yang, I will definitely handle Black Tortoise's matters well."

Yang Qing nodded.

"Be careful with the Great Song Bank's vault."

"Da Song is no longer a secret in some people's eyes."

"People who have designs on it will also increase."

"Most of the assets inside belong to us; if any accident occurs, our entire system will encounter problems."

"Although Hui Feng has made backups, who knows if those people will cause any trouble."
