Chapter 492: Counterattack

Qi Dezun finally surrendered.

Because he had no room for choice at all.

He could only choose the lesser of two evils.

The next day, the client trading information of the Gangdao Securities Exchange was leaked.

It contained massive data of Yinglian people and foreign capital manipulating stock prices and fleeing with money.

Seeing that enormous wealth.

The money that once belonged to them was snatched away by those foreigners.

Even rumors spread among the people about how Hong Fu and Hui Feng colluded with that group to cash out and flee.

The story seemed very real.

Upon careful consideration, the logic was extremely coherent.

Mai Lihao's newly restored image collapsed with a thud.

Those who besieged Yang Qing, hoping he would take over.

This time they turned their spear toward the Gangdao Securities Exchange.

At once they surrounded the Gangdao Securities Exchange.

When Mai Lihao received the information and mobilized troops and police.

The enlightened seized the Hong Kong Island Exchange swiftly and obtained the data.

Among the investors there were many talents, and they quickly confirmed that all of this was true.

Yang Qing's counterattack was so fierce.

Mai Lihao didn't expect it, Hui Feng didn't expect it, and the people of the Hong Kong Island Exchange didn't either.

With the evidence in hand, the investors' emotions grew even angrier.

Tens of thousands rushed toward the Governor's Office.

Mai Lihao, frightened, immediately ordered the troops and police who hadn't yet gone to the Gangdao Securities Exchange to return at once, and they protected the Governor's Office before the investors could surround it.

"Return our blood‑sweat money, investigate the trading black deeds."

"Return our blood‑sweat money, we need to live."

What Yang Qing once faced has now turned to Mai Lihao.

This can also be considered a self‑inflicted consequence.

Mai Lihao felt a bitter, incomprehensible feeling in his heart.

Why did it turn out like this, how could Yang Qing dare?

He isn't afraid; later, would I arrest him on a groundless charge?

When did a wolf appear among the rabbits?

Mai Lihao wanted to soothe the crowd's emotions, but no one listened; those who had already lost their red eyes were like clutching at a lifeline.

They surrounded the Governor's Office and didn't intend for things to end so simply.

After being besieged for several days, Mai Lihao had to make a compromise.

"Investors, today I announce here that due to the Gangdao Securities Exchange's violations, the Governor's Office plans to revoke the Gangdao Securities Exchange."

"Moreover, after our investigation, the Kowloon Securities Exchange also has many problems; the Kowloon Securities Exchange will be sealed immediately."

"We will investigate and prosecute strictly."

"We hope everyone forgives our oversight."

Investors won't pay; what we want is money, where is the money?

"Blood‑sweat money, blood‑sweat money."

……

Mai Lihao realized that without pulling something out, there was truly no way to end this.

What to do? Violent suppression? Ask the north if they agree?

Moreover, on our side we are still being held by a thin rope.

Loss of wealth to avoid disaster, perhaps.

"Additionally, we will establish a relief fund together with social welfare, to provide survival assistance to those whose lives are difficult because of the Stock Crash."

"Regarding debt issues, Hong Fu will demand major banks to present solutions."

"Ladies and gentlemen, Hong Fu can only do this much."

"The rest must rely on everyone's joint effort to get through the difficulty."

With such a result, it's almost enough; many understand that if they continue to cause trouble, there won't be a good outcome, because Hong Fu also has no money.

Moreover, there are troops and police stationed here, and they don't dare to cause too much trouble.

However, the matter is not over; Hong Fu's side has ended, but they haven't forgotten Yang Qing.

Hong Fu has bled; you, a merchant, must also make a statement.

The public opinion, which had quieted for a short while, shows signs of rekindling.

Many people on Gangdao were shocked by Yang Qing's fierce counterattack.

Even those lofty Yinglian people felt a pang of sympathy.

Yang Qing's daring is not only bold, but also people dare to retaliate.

The blow still hurts you.

And the methods are very poisonous.

Just look at Qi Dezun; the Yinglian people unanimously consider him a traitor.

Mai Lihao and Hui Feng no longer pay him any attention.

He's simply inhuman inside and out, everywhere he gets white-eyed looks.

In the company, the Yinglian people all look down on him.

Qi Dezun died a wrongful death, but nobody believed him.

Such sensitive data, not even a rabbit could possibly get hold of it?

There must be an insider.

Mai Lihao's nearly two-year plot was destroyed in an instant by Qi Dezun.

The Hong Fu government became an accomplice in harming ordinary people.

Reputation plummeted.

Then we had to bring out our tool person to attract attention.

Thus Ge Bo was formally arrested.

They began a strict investigation of Ge Bo's criminal record.

For a while, the gangs and police in Gangdao were all panicked.

September.

Calls for Yang Qing to save the market grew louder.

Because the Hong Kong stock was going to plunge to shit, 500 points.

Many people's assets dwindled to less than a tenth.

Those with leverage ended up with nothing and even piled on debt.

Many people couldn't take it and jumped to their deaths.

Yang Qing, as a responsible person.

At this time, Yang's company launched a reverse repurchase plan.

The plan: over the next five years, repurchase more than twenty percent of the company's shares.

Yang Qing's promise made him instantly a hero of Gangdao.

At this time, newspapers reported a series of operations by Azure Dragon Securities and Great Song Bank before the stock crash.

Simply the industry's conscience.

Azure Dragon Securities Exchange was wildly popular, its trading volume exceeding ninety percent.

The Gold and Silver Securities Exchange and the Yuandong Securities Exchange were deserted.

Without trading volume, their exchanges were pointless; they could only lay off staff, otherwise they'd lose money.

The Constant Growth Index also began to stabilize thanks to Yang Qing's reverse repurchase plan.

But a few days later, the oil crisis erupted.

The Constant Growth Index, which had just shown signs of recovery, turned down again.

The global stock market collapsed.

Qi Dezun went mad.

He had just offended people, now he's in this state—what should he do?

He shamelessly went to find Hui Feng, hoping to get some protection.

He had just knocked on Shen Bi's door when he heard: 'Get lost!'

A manager actually treated him like this,

Qi Dezun, whose self-esteem was strong, turned and left, not wanting to tempt fate.

He began to reorganize the company, hoping it could weather this crisis.

As for debt, delay it if you can; if not, we'll talk later.

Yang Qing, however, made a fortune; his investments in oil products and oil companies surged after the crisis broke out, even doubling.

Even with money, Yang Qing didn't dare to act recklessly; facing the crisis, he watched more and acted less.

However, the real estate and film industries could be vigorously developed.

According to research, the worse the economic crisis, the faster the cultural and entertainment industry develops.

So Yang Qing went to Eternal Splendor again and again.

Upon arriving again at Eternal Splendor, Yang Qing discovered many foreign actors.

Yang Qing saw a girl who looked like Yamaguchi Baohui.

Chen Ziqiang is that strong?

Yang Qing had some doubts.

Chen Ziqiang followed Yang Qing's gaze.

"Manager Yang, are you interested in her?"

Yang Qing glanced at him.

"It doesn't look like someone from Gangdao."

"Who are the people there?"

Chen Ziqiang explained.

"This is from a newly opened company where people live well, sent over for training."

"This is brought about by our internationalization strategy."

Yang Qing nodded.

"Let her learn Now we need to output lines: English, then give more resources."

"I think she has the chance to help us open the market where people live well."
