Riding the wind of rebirth

With the help of the kids, the dumplings came out quickly, but some were small, some had more fillings and some had less. Fortunately, Zhou Zhi scooped them out of the big pot in batches, so it didn’t affect the taste much, and everyone enjoyed the meal very much.

Only after Lao Chi Ri and Jilie Abi came back did Zhou Zhi introduce Li Laosan to them.

There are so many "weird people" coming to see Zhou Zhi that the two of them have gotten used to it. They don't know Li Laosan either and treat them all as Zhou Zhi's relatives or friends.

Although Lao Chi Ri and Gillette also watched the news broadcast, the parts involving Li Lao San were definitely not among the news they cared about.

For example, at the preparatory meeting for Hong Kong Island a few days ago, Li Laosan was received behind his father, but now that the person is in front, he still doesn’t recognize him.

Li Laosan actually likes being treated like this. Even in England, many people know him. After all, London is also the world's financial center, and people are quite concerned about this figure who has been calling the shots in the world financial market in recent years.

What everyone was more concerned about was the fact that he came here by helicopter, which caused a sensation in the area.

Rock eagle chickens are also braver than ordinary chickens. Gillette Abi went to the chicken farm and saw that the impact was not too great.

But Zhou Zhi is more concerned about his cousin, Tiedan.

Cousin Anxin doesn't have to worry, because the nickname "cousin nephew", which is rich in the characteristics of Jingyang in mainland China, itself declares Cousin Anxin's status in the family.

"Tiedan is very strong. Your cousin said that a cheap name is easy to raise. It may be true." Li Laosan sniffed: "My nephew is called Huihui, which is even more exaggerated."

Huihui is the son of Li Laoer and Lin Wanqiu. The first wife of the Li family is a DINK, and the birth of two sons from the second and third wives was a major event that shocked Hong Kong Island. The tabloids made up a drama about who would be the prince after being born first.

However, Huihui's grandmother herself was from the mainland. Although Lin Wanqiu grew up in Hong Kong Island, she was deeply influenced by her mother. In addition, she returned to the mainland in recent years to help her father develop his career in the north. She is also engaged in the art industry and is even more deeply influenced by tradition.

According to her own statement, Huihui's step-grandfather ran a silver shop. In ancient times, the blowing method was used to refine silver. The bigger the soot, the more prosperous the family business.

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but sigh that those who organize auctions are just good at finding gimmicks to hype themselves up.

The birth of the child also made Jingyang's third aunt and uncle think about it. The two model workers who devoted themselves to their work finally took an annual leave this year and went to Hong Kong Island to visit their grandson.

In order to prevent her parents from feeling uncomfortable living in the Li family, cousin Anxin directly requisitioned Zhou Zhi’s property in Hong Kong Island.

Zhou Zhi has a lot of properties in Hong Kong Island, all of which are Lu Lirong's assets. These assets include Lu Lirong's Xinbaozhai store, his private Mid-Levels villa, several warehouses in the harbor, and all antiques.

Cousin Anxin simply renovated the villa halfway up the mountain for her parents to live in.

Although it is not as good as the Li family's house, this villa is also ranked among the top ten good houses in Mid-Levels, Hong Kong Island. However, after knowing that this is their nephew's house, the third aunt and uncle have no worries about living there.

"The prices of Hong Kong Island real estate are still falling." When talking about this, Li Laosan frowned: "Lu Lirong escaped in time."

"In fact, I think now is a good time to pick up bargains. Fixed assets have fallen by nearly 70% since the year before last. They are just cabbages everywhere." Zhou Zhi ate dumplings leisurely and said with a smile: "Hurry up and make money. When we make enough money, we will buy Victoria Harbour!" Li Laosan shook his head and smiled bitterly: "If you dare to do this, we Hong Kong people will be more than happy, and the financial pressure we face will not be so great."

"What's the big deal about these little storms? Don't worry, everything will be fine." Zhou Zhi patted him on the shoulder and said, "You have to have confidence in the central government. You have the support of more than one billion people behind you. The wisdom of the most critical decision-makers has ensured that the fundamentals of Hong Kong Island have not actually changed very profoundly. This is an unbreakable underlying logic."

"No matter what you want to do, you have to make enough money first." Li Laosan said, "Now you understand why I came to you in such a hurry, right?"

Zhou Zhi pondered for a moment: "If we really succeed, would it be considered... fleecing capitalism?"

"What do you mean?"

Zhou Zhi then remembered that Baiyun and Heitu's skit had not yet appeared, so he waved his hand and said, "It's just taking advantage of the financial market around the world!"

"We have to rely on Xiao Miao for this." Li Lao San picked up a dumpling for Mai Xiaomiao attentively: "Xiao Miao, if you need anything here, just tell me. Even if you want to eat tiger grouper, I will arrange air transportation for you immediately!"

"Thank you, Third Brother." Mai Xiaomiao's lips curled up when he heard this: "I don't need anything from Elbow, he will take good care of me."

"You have to stay here for a while before you can understand the fun of it." Zhou Zhi said he was too lazy to explain.

"No, I have to go back immediately after I finish explaining everything to you." Li Laosan said, "Now that I have a son, I have to earn money for milk powder. I can't be free anymore..."

"I know you have a son, a strong and solid boy named Tiedan." Zhou Zhi interrupted unhappily: "How many times have you said it since you got off the plane? Are you like this in front of your mother-in-law?"

"Third brother, when our model is developed, where should we conduct the experiment first?" Mai Xiaomiao raised an important question.

This is indeed a very important issue. Once this thing goes into production, it will enter the financial market. How to perfectly avoid financial supervision and comply with the financial system are issues that need to be considered.

No matter how well designed a program is, bugs may appear during the trial run. Once such bugs appear in the financial market, they may cause an uproar that shocks the world.

As far as Zhou Zhi knows, such events have actually happened in history, such as the 2010 crash in which the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell percent in just minutes and the entire Wall Street market value evaporated by one trillion U.S. dollars.

Five years later, the person who caused the crash was caught. To everyone's surprise, the culprit was just an ordinary otaku. He used his home computer and the automatic market maker strategy in the solution given by Li Laosan to create "decoy transactions" by high-frequency order placement and cancellation, allowing investors to match transactions with higher bids and thus make profits.

As a result, on May 2010, 5, the guy's order volume reached 6 million US dollars, and the number of order modifications was nearly times. This frequency exceeded the level that the stocks he was operating could bear. When he stopped operating that day, with the cancellation of a large number of virtual orders, the stock began to fall wildly. Major investment banks and hedge funds had to follow up and quickly reduce their positions to stop losses. This domino effect led to the most bizarre collapse of the U.S. stock market.

The young man later went through a lengthy criminal prosecution, and finally escaped punishment thanks to his "significant meritorious performance," namely, reporting similar illegal operations in the financial market by major investment banks.

If such an "accident" is caused by Zhou Zhi, you can imagine what the outcome will be. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully select the experimental site. (End of this chapter)
