Chapter 136: The Situation is a Bit Serious! (Please subscribe)

Time flew by to October 1987!

Hong Kong was full of vitality, mainly because the stock market was booming and the index was rising all the way.

Economists and experts were touting it in newspapers and on TV, and Hong Kong residents were actively investing in the stock market, dreaming of getting rich overnight.

All walks of life were also booming, and the film market was no exception.

Golden Princess, Golden Harvest, and D&B were launching various high-quality films one after another, fighting to be the box office leader.

Yindu Institution, Fengrui Film and Television, and Qiankun Film and Television were full of explosive power, occasionally producing a 20-million-level high-quality film, possessing more and more say and influence in the Hong Kong film circle.

The novel market did not decline because Cha Xiansheng stopped writing; instead, because of the influx of a large number of high-quality Mainland novels, it presented a situation of a hundred flowers blooming.

Ancient ranger novels and Republic of China strange hero novels gradually showed signs of replacing traditional Hong Kong and Taiwan martial arts novels.

Other soft science fiction, folk fantasy, and mythological legend stories were also stirring up trouble in the Hong Kong novel market.

At the same time, comics of the same name also occupied a place in the Hong Kong comic market!

Originally, the situation where Yulang International dominated the world had undergone significant changes.

Speaking of which, Yulang International also wanted to annex the comic publishing house and magazine under "Mong Kok News," but naturally, it didn't succeed.

In order to suppress the comic publishing house under "Mong Kok News," Yulang International played quite a few tricks.

Fortunately, they were just normal commercial means and didn't play dirty tricks; otherwise, the consequences would be unpredictable.

What surprised Hong Kong young people most was that the Hong Kong game R&D company launched several arcade machines in one go.

From the arcade machine of the same name "A Better Tomorrow" at the beginning of the year, to the arcade machine of the same name "Police Story" in early August, and recently the arcade machine of the same name "Project A," it can be said to be full of sincerity.

Just these three arcade machines had a total sales volume of over 40,000 units, which was an quite exaggerated number.

At this time, Wu Feng was staying in his Sai Kung lair, closely monitoring the trend of the global stock market.

Previously, he had gone back and forth in the Japanese stock market through the Siam Pangaea Bank.

With the help of an inexplicable early warning ability, he avoided the sweeping of European and American capital in time, and his funds rolled more and more.

And with the help of Pangaea Bank to cover up, European and American capital could at most trace it to Pangaea Bank, but more detailed information could not be traced.

This is the benefit of having "one of our own." If it were in Hong Kong, how could he avoid HSBC's supervision?

Of course, the actions of shorting the US and Japanese stock markets were not all carried out through Pangaea Bank, but were dispersed into thousands of shares of funds and invested in the stock market under various names.

As long as the stock market crash broke out on the date in his memory, his wealth would increase tenfold or dozens of times.

If he had a legitimate identity, he could do more things.

During this period, he also reminded familiar triad peers and "our own people" who had close relationships.

It was best to withdraw all investments in the stock market and turn them into cash flow in hand. Learn from Li Bancheng's approach and wait for a possible stock market crash to bottom-fish high-quality assets.

If they wanted to gamble, they should boldly short Hong Kong stocks and extend the deadline to November or December. Doing so might reduce the return, but it was quite safe.

He honestly invested 30 million, added a five-fold leverage, and waited for the stock market crash to appear.

Unexpectedly, people like Xu Renjie of the Mong Kok Police Station and the high-level officials of the Sai Kung Police Station actually followed suit one after another. I don't know why they had such great confidence in Wu Feng?

On the contrary, Qiu Degen of ATV indicated that he chose the first option and had already collected quite a lot of funds.

As for triad peers, Wu Feng didn't ask much; their respective investment channels were very secret. He wouldn't be stupid enough to ask questions, and these guys weren't worth him spending too much effort.

It would be fine if they made money, but if any accident happened, these triad peers would blame Wu Feng; that was a certainty.

What they were more interested in was the exhibition match program of the Unlimited Fighting Tournament that Wu Feng created on ATV.

Although they didn't know how Wu Feng got ATV to broadcast it, they all wanted to get involved.

Especially the Red Poles under their command, as well as the fighters with extraordinary strength, all wanted to show their faces on TV.

Taizi was the most shameless and actually came to the door for the first time.

Wu Feng had no choice but to make arrangements, letting him get on TV on the third day.

The "God of War of Hong Hing" was fierce; he defeated four of Wu Feng's close-combat fighters in a row. If it weren't for his stamina not keeping up, he would probably continue to perform his powerful combat power on the TV program.

This guy has truly become famous; at the very least, the number of spectators at the underground boxing matches he opened in Tsim Sha Tsui has surged, successfully riding a wave of traffic.

The Red Pole fighters of other halls were eager to try, and Wu Feng also opened a gap for them, letting them exchange and spar with his own fighters first; if their strength was recognized, they could get on the TV program.

Otherwise, if their strength was really insufficient, it would be embarrassing.

Jiang Tiansheng just watched it as fun; if it were in the past, he would definitely have gotten involved.

Now, no matter how Wu Feng tossed and turned, he didn't care about that little profit.

He was rich and powerful now; unless it could help him, he wouldn't care about ordinary business.

Wu Feng took the opportunity to make a request to Jiang Tiansheng.

That was to hope that Hongxing's gambling hall in Macau would undertake the betting market for the Unlimited Fighting Tournament!

"A Feng, your ambition is not small!"

Jiang Tiansheng joked with a smile, "This is also a good thing for the triad, so it's settled!"

Wu Feng naturally thanked him well; with Hongxing's gambling hall in Macau undertaking the betting market, there was no need to worry about the development funds for the Unlimited Fighting Tournament.

After doing all this, he found an excuse to shrink back to Sai Kung.

This was not it, time flew to October 19th, Monday.

The US stock market collapsed as soon as it opened, and in the end, two trillion evaporated directly, known as Black Monday.

It can only be said that Wall Street's means of harvesting leeks were as sharp as ever.

Affected by this, stock markets around the world plummeted; this was the so-called global stock market crash.

The Hong Kong stock market was naturally no exception!

In short, it fell so smoothly that a trend of "dumpling-making" (jumping off buildings) appeared on the roofs of surrounding buildings.

While Hong Kong people were panic-selling stocks, they immediately thought of the two sharp articles from before.

Then, they aimed their spearhead at Li Bancheng!

Damn, now that the stock market crash had arrived, it was clear that the content of those two articles had already been half realized.

The other half was naturally Li Bancheng, who held a ten-billion cash flow, bottom-fishing during the stock market crash, and might just become the richest Chinese person in Hong Kong in one fell swoop.

Conspiracy, this is a huge conspiracy!

Li Bancheng must be responsible for the losses of the retail investors!

I don't know which guy shouted first, but it immediately attracted the echo of many retail investors.

Their losses were too great, and there must be a vent, otherwise someone would really jump off a building.

As a result, some retail investors actually ran to the front of the Cheung Kong Group building to protest.

When Li Bancheng heard the news, his originally happy expression disappeared immediately.

"Call the police immediately and let the police disperse these bastards!"

Li Bancheng said unhappily, "They failed in stock speculation, what does it have to do with me?"

"Even if I got inside information, do I have to take the initiative to tell them?"

This matter made a big noise, and the TV news reported it for the first time.

Wu Feng, who was in Sai Kung, saw the content on the news and couldn't help laughing out loud.

This guy, I'm afraid he won't be able to get rid of the title of "HSBC's running dog" in the future.

He was happy here, but the mobile phone in the hands of his close underling didn't have a moment of rest.

"Yes, yes, yes, Big Brother has something to do and can't answer the phone for the time being!"

"Good, good, good, I will definitely convey your meaning, please ask Big Brother to return your call as soon as possible!"

"Sorry, Big Brother is inspecting the factory and doesn't have time for a while!"

"What, you have an urgent matter to find Big Brother? I'm just an underling, don't make things difficult for me!"

"Ah, you want to talk to Big Brother about the stock market? You have to wait a while!"

"Oh, you want to borrow money from Big Brother? I can't make the decision on this!"

"..."

Although he knew there might be many calls, he didn't expect it to be so exaggerated.

Even some guys who were just nodding acquaintances before called to want to meet.

Wu Feng felt very inexplicable: Are we very familiar?

Later, he found out that some guys didn't know how they found out about his 30 million investment in the stock market and actually wanted to hit the idea of this money.

Really brain-damaged!

How could they think Wu Feng was brainless and let them fool him?

Besides, don't think about what Wu Feng's identity is; can they afford the consequences?

Simply, those inexplicable calls were all rejected by the underlings; he didn't even have the interest to listen.

Even when Jiang Tiansheng and the others called to express regret and other bullshit, he didn't have much interest in paying attention.

Regret now, what were they doing before?

Even if they were reluctant to gamble a few million, there was nothing to say.

Of course, the 30 million Wu Feng invested had now become almost a "small target" (100 million).

Many Hongxing Hall Masters knew about this, and they were all envious and jealous at this time, but so what?

It wasn't that he didn't recommend it to them; they just didn't want to take the risk.

Fortunately, it was only a "small target," and the stimulation to the Hongxing Hall Masters was acceptable.

If they knew about Wu Feng's gains in Japan and the United States, I'm afraid they would do something irrational because of jealousy, which would be bad for everyone.

However, when he heard the news that Far East Bank had changed hands, he couldn't help but sigh: Qiu Degen ultimately failed to keep the core assets of the Far East Group, and he would have a headache in the future.

After Wu Feng sighed, he went to busy himself with his own affairs.

In Sai Kung, he contacted respected elders to discuss some things.

Whether it was acquiring ATV or having big moves in the future, a legitimate identity was indispensable.

After everything was arranged, he took the minivan that had been modified again and returned to the Shanghai Street local headquarters leisurely.

It can be clearly seen that the flow of people on Shanghai Street has decreased significantly.

This matter is easy to understand; the sudden and severe stock market crash caused the money in the pockets of Hong Kong people to shrink significantly.

Without money, how can they have the leisure to run to the nightclub to consume? They can't just get a free ride, right?

And the number of triad scoundrels wandering on the street has increased significantly.

Damn, how long has it been, has the aftermath of the stock market crash reached such a point?

When he arrived at the Dafuhao Sauna, he immediately called his three Big Di and asked directly: "Has anything happened in the Jianghu recently? Why are there so many scoundrels on the street?"
