Chapter 301: Who Isn't Jealous?

The circle of wealthy elites in Hong Kong has not been very peaceful lately.

A piece of news has unsettled the minds of many wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong.

It concerns astonishing interests, such that even the richest Chinese man, Li Bancheng, cannot treat it lightly.

HSBC Bank does not support Hong Kong tycoons participating in stock market investments in Japan.

This matter was initially confidential information, but later it could not be concealed and spread; HSBC had no intention of offering the slightest explanation.

If any Hong Kong tycoon wanted to invest in the Japanese stock market through HSBC's channels, HSBC Bank would not provide leverage services, directly extinguishing the restless thoughts of certain Hong Kong tycoons.

It is not just HSBC Bank that is like this; foreign banks in Hong Kong from Europe and America are all taking such measures.

As long as one's brain is not broken, everyone understands what this means.

In fact, this move is indeed very effective!

Moving large sums of capital is a rather troublesome matter.

If one is like Wu Feng, who does not have a close relationship with any bank, one has the confidence to declare, "If this place does not keep me, there are other places that will!"

Other Hong Kong tycoons are not as carefree.

Most of them are tied to a certain powerful commercial bank.

It is not just about capital flow; loans, investments, and most importantly, capital security are not things to be trifled with, as there are too many matters involved.

It is not just a capital issue; there is also a lot of important commercial information that outsiders find hard to know.

It is hard to say whether, when Bao Chuanwang abandoned his ships to come ashore, or when Li Bancheng swallowed Hutchison and Hongkong Electric, they had received tips from HSBC Bank early on?

Sometimes, getting information one step ahead can easily create a top-tier Hong Kong tycoon!

It is precisely because of this that even if they know HSBC Bank and the foreign banks from Europe and America in Hong Kong have ill intentions, the top tycoons deeply tied to them dare not act rashly.

How could the top Chinese tycoons in Hong Kong not know about the situation over in Japan?

To say they have no moves at all, even a fool would not believe it!

But if the closely cooperating banks do not provide leverage services, then there is not much point.

Relying on principal to invest in the stock market, the profit might not even be as much as developing a small residential project.

Previously, having been refused leverage services by their partner banks, they probably would not have voluntarily exposed it.

After all, it damages their reputation and might even offend the partner banks.

But now, Wu Feng's old friends have voluntarily exposed it, and suddenly rumors are flying in the upper circles.

The gazes of many tycoons are suddenly focused on Wu Feng!

There is no other reason; Wu Feng made a huge profit investing in the Japanese stock market, which makes him worthy of their attention.

It is unknown whether it was leaked by an old friend by accident, or if certain guys have great influence, but the information they dug up actually figured out Wu Feng's approximate gains in the Japanese stock market.

About eight hundred million Dollars!

Once the news spread, it shocked the entire Hong Kong tycoon circle.

Not to mention at this time, even decades later, eight hundred million Dollars is not a small number.

Wu Feng's public phone was almost blown up.

People he knew and didn't know, those he had dealings with and those who had only heard his name, and even people from the Mainland called him to probe whether the rumors were true.

He neither admitted nor denied it, just letting these guys guess.

But this matter has stirred up quite a large wave!

Wu Feng's background and how he rose to prominence are not secrets in Hong Kong.

Anyone with some influence can know the general situation with just a little digging.

But the more this is the case, the more astonishing and exaggerated Wu Feng's gains in the Japanese stock market appear.

How many years has Wu Feng been in Hong Kong?

As a result, the profits earned through investing in the Japanese stock market are enough for him to squeeze into the ranks of top Hong Kong tycoons.

Although the outside world knows that Wu Feng's assets are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

But the capital that can be placed on the table, apart from the game development company being a bit exaggerated, the profits of his other companies are still within the scope of what everyone can understand and accept.

Even the game development company, which can be called a big gold mine, because the time is too short, at most has a profit of about one billion Hong Kong Dollars, it cannot be more.

But after rolling around in the Japanese stock market, his net worth immediately skyrocketed.

Which of the Hong Kong tycoons, upon hearing this, would not feel a little bit of envy, jealousy, and hatred in their hearts?

At the Lin Family, Lin Baiyi and his two sons are rarely all at home.

"Eldest, I heard you intend to invest in the Japanese stock market?"

Lin Baiyi, not knowing where he heard the news, asked directly: "You have an excellent relationship with Wusheng; did he really earn that much in such a short time?"

"Definitely!"

Lin Dashao confirmed: "It's just that the initial capital was a bit small, otherwise he would have earned even more!"

"What good luck!"

Lin Baiyi sighed: "If you participate now, will it be too late?"

"Not late!"

Lin Dashao smiled lightly: "I specifically asked for Wusheng's opinion, and he said not to listen to the opinions of so-called experts; just keep an eye on the movements of those well-known European and American financial groups, and you will understand that this market trend has not yet reached its end!"

"What does this mean?"

Lin Baiyi was a bit puzzled: "Could it be that those European and American financial groups can dominate the Japanese stock market?"

"They really can!"

Speaking of this, the smile on Lin Dashao's face disappeared, and he shook his head: "According to Wusheng, this wave of the Japanese stock market trend is originally the work of Europe and America harvesting them!"

"When the European and American financial groups feel it is enough, this wave of the trend will end!"

"That's impossible, would the Japanese government agree?"

Lin Ershao could not help but interject: "Japan is not to be trifled with either!"

"You can say this at home, but you must never say it outside!"

Lin Dashao said with disdain: "Do not let the surface appearance that Japan puts on deceive your eyes!"

"To put it bluntly, Japan can only be considered a defeated nation with United States troops stationed there!"

"The life and death of the entire country are held in the hands of the United States!"

Speaking of this, he thought of what Wu Feng said during the gathering and subconsciously repeated: "If it weren't for the Plaza Accord, the United States' domestic economy would be on the verge of collapse right now!"

"Whether it is the automotive industry, the microelectronics industry, or the home appliance industry, the relevant companies within the United States cannot compete with Japanese companies!"

"In the long run, if there are no underhanded tactics, the first to suffer will be the United States!"

"Since when can a defeated nation ride on the heads of a victorious nation?"

Lin Ershao was somewhat unconvinced, but Lin Baiyi knew that this was the truth.

He sighed and said gloomily: "Big Brother is right. In fact, I also wanted to invest in the Japanese stock market, but unfortunately, HSBC does not provide leverage services!"

When saying this, thinking of how Wu Feng could make a windfall of nearly one billion Dollars in such a short time, his heart was full of unwillingness and frustration.

Regarding Lin Baiyi's gloom, Lin Dashao did not offer comfort, nor did he suggest that he use the channels of Hong Kong commercial banks to add leverage and invest in the booming Japanese stock market.

The Lin Family was too deeply tied to the HSBC group and European and American foreign banks.

"Big Brother, I have tens of millions in my hands; can you help me invest it in the Japanese stock market?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Ershao suddenly spoke: "Just through your channels, Big Brother, can it be done?"

"I cannot overstep my bounds in this matter!"

Lin Dashao refused without thinking: "If you really have an idea, just go directly to a Hong Kong commercial bank and handle the relevant business!"

Such conversations occurred not only in the Lin Family but also in the homes of other top tycoons in Hong Kong.

Truly, profit moves the heart!

Not to mention, it was an astonishing profit measured in billions of Dollars; no one could remain indifferent.

The top tycoons themselves could not easily step forward, but their children did not have such concerns.

Those who were more deep-thinking made connections with Wu Feng's old friends and followed them in their actions.

As for the others, they invested individually, and whether they won or lost depended on their own luck.

No one expected that in just one month, the Hong Kong capital invested in the Japanese stock market would suddenly increase by several billion Dollars.

With twenty-fold, fifty-fold, or even one-hundred-fold leverage added up, that was not a small number.

After learning the news, Wu Feng had to sigh: there are really many rich people in Hong Kong, and their guts are truly big.

With fifty-fold and hundred-fold leverage, a small fluctuation would lead to a forced liquidation.

But this was also fine; he felt that the attention placed on him, or rather on the capital he invested in the stock market, had suddenly decreased quite a bit.

If nothing else, the goal of muddying the waters had been initially achieved.

It was just that he did not expect that once the news spread, it would not only shake the tycoon circle but also cause ripples in the underworld, which was very interesting.

"Wusheng, Luotuo from the Tung Sing suddenly invited me to dinner earlier!"

This day, his trusted subordinate Li Xin suddenly visited and informed him of a piece of news: "He said he wanted to invest in the Japanese stock market and hoped that Wusheng could take him along!"

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

Wu Feng asked in surprise: "If he wants to invest in the Japanese stock market, he can just go and invest; why is he begging me? I am not familiar with him at all!"

"Wusheng, it is estimated that the news of you making a fortune in the Japanese stock market has spread!"

Li Xin, who was sharp-witted, analyzed: "Luotuo is jealous, but he is afraid of losing his money if he invests on his own, so he wants to invest with you, Wusheng, so he can feel at ease!"

"I cannot guarantee that I will definitely make money!"

Wu Feng said irritably: "If he loses, wouldn't this guy blame it on me?"

"Yes, none of these old underworld figures are easy to deal with!"

Li Xin echoed: "Therefore, I did not agree to his request. If he really has an idea, it is best for him to talk to you directly, Wusheng!"

"I have nothing to talk about with him!"

Wu Feng waved his hand and smiled: "Tell him, if he really has an idea, go and have a good talk with Mr. Chiang; he is also following my lead!"

"Big Brother, can we follow suit?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xin's eyes lit up and he said directly: "We can still manage to scrape together ten million Hong Kong Dollars or so, and it won't affect the business of our subordinates!"
