Reborn since 1993

Chapter 439 Thunder
As usual, Lu Dongliang walked into the lobby of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange with a pile of newspapers under his arms. In the lobby, people who were familiar with Lu Dongliang greeted him.

"Lu Zai, I haven't seen you for a few days. Where did you go to make a fortune?"

"Ma Sheng!"

Lu Dongliang found a seat and sat down. When he saw the person who started talking, he smiled and said, "Last week, I went to Japan and the Maldives for a trip!"

"It seems that Lu Zai made a lot of money on Taikoo tickets!"

Someone nearby heard that Lu Dongliang was going abroad for a trip, and many people around him couldn't help but look at him with envy. They knew that the Swire shares held by Lu Dongliang had risen by 62% in one year. Lu Dongliang made a fortune thanks to this stock.

"Lu Zai, if you find any stocks you like in the future, don't forget to help us get rich together!"

Someone said this to Lu Dongliang, to which Lu Dongliang laughed but did not answer. Since ancient times, there have been too many cases of gratitude and resentment.

In the case of stock trading, if you help others make money, even if they make money, you may become enemies because of the uneven distribution of the spoils. But if they lose money, the fight will never stop until one side loses.

Compared with those people in the trading hall who want to get rich overnight by guessing, Lu Dongliang graduated with a finance major and worked seriously in Gangcheng Securities Company.

After the bull market in Hong Kong stocks came, Lv Dongliang resigned and used his savings to start his own business. He no longer had to be restricted by a securities company and could only watch others make money with envy. In the past few years, Lv Dongliang has earned a profit that would have taken him more than ten or twenty years to earn in a securities company.

Although Lu Dongliang likes to come to the trading hall and discuss stock market conditions with others, just to change his mind, he never advises people on investment because he doesn't want to end up not being able to be friends but becoming enemies.

“Fell again!”

"The share price of Hong Kong City Telecom has been falling for many days this month. The story about the mainland mobile phone king competing with the Singaporean Li family for the equity of Hong Kong City Telecom is all bullshit!"

As one of the two stocks with the highest market capitalization on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, HSBC and Harbour City Telecom have the largest market cap, the highest market capitalization, the largest number of stock holders, and are the most watched.

Ever since the news broke that its major shareholder, Cable & Wireless, was interested in selling its controlling stake, Hong Kong City Telecom has been in turmoil.

As soon as the news came out, the share price of Hong Kong City Telecom immediately took off. Not only Hong Kong City and Asia, but even Wall Street investment institutions rushed to grab shares. In addition, countless small investors used their fortunes to buy large sums of Hong Kong City Telecom shares.

But the result has been much ado about nothing. Various news reports have continued to emerge, including Yingke Group established by the second son of the Changjiang Li family, Singapore Telecommunications, Dongling Hi-Tech Group that emerged from the inland, British Telecom, and German telecommunications giants, all of which have been rumored to be acquiring Hong Kong City Telecom.

Every time there was a rumor, many people sitting in the trading hall would clamor to buy Hong Kong City Telecom shares, but every time they bought, there would be news that the rumor was false, and then the stock price would fall.

The stocks of Hongcheng Telecom are about to become a special tool for some investment institutions to reap the benefits of the stocks. Every time, they release some news, raise the stock price, and wait for someone to take over. Finally, they "clarify" the news, making the small investors want to die first. This trick has been tried and tested.

The reason for this is that, even though they know it might be a trap, some people still jump in one after another because the temptation is too great. For example, the current share price of Hongcheng Telecom is more than 12 yuan. If there really starts to be a buyer to acquire Hongcheng Telecom, then doubling the share price of Hongcheng Telecom will be a piece of cake!
In the previous life, when several companies were competing for the equity of Hong Kong City Telecom, the share price of Hong Kong City Telecom soared to more than 30 Hong Kong dollars, and those who bought in made a lot of money.

There is no real fool in this world. Many things that seem unreasonable afterwards are decisions made by the parties involved when faced with huge temptations!

Faced with an opportunity that could potentially double your money, with a 100% rate of return, your investment could instantly double your worth, just like a lump of gold nuggets placed right in front of you. Who could resist such temptation?
"That Li Dongling from the inland is about to go back, right? I haven't heard that he wants to acquire Gangcheng Telecom!"

"Yeah, I guess that damn thing is manipulating things and spreading fake news again!"

"I've had enough. I've lost seven or eight thousand dollars buying these worthless stocks. I'm not playing this game anymore!"

Lu Dongliang listened to the noisy voices in the trading hall, and faced with the fact that the share price of Hongcheng Telecom had fallen a little more, many people were unwilling to be tossed around and began to sell their Hongcheng Telecom shares.

Seeing that the share price of Hongcheng Telecom had dropped again, Lu Dongliang fell into deep thought as he looked at the share price of Hongcheng Telecom which kept jumping on the screen.

In the past, Lu Dongliang did not pay much attention to the share price of Gangcheng Telecom. He knew that for a company with a market value of one or two hundred billion yuan, it was not easy to double the share price. Even if everything went well, it would take one or two years to achieve it.

But it is impossible to say that Hongcheng Telecom is useless now. Hongcheng Telecom still almost monopolizes the Hongcheng landline telephone market, and its revenue and profits remain stable.

The only thing is that the future is uncertain, which is why Cable & Wireless and external investment institutions are somewhat pessimistic about Hong Kong City Telecom.

No one knows what will happen to Hong Kong City Telecom when Hong Kong City returns, and whether it will be squeezed out. It is hard to say!
Lu Dongliang stroked his chin and stared at the screen in the hall for a long time. He did not leave until the market closed. The next day, he came back and started watching the Hongcheng Telecom stocks.

On the third day, near noon, Lu Dongliang called his stockbroker and said, "Buy me 12.42 shares of Hong Kong City Telecom at !"

"Hong Kong City Telecom's stocks?"

A stockbroker who was familiar with Lu Dongliang couldn't help but ask, "You haven't also heard those acquisition rumors, have you?"

"Don't worry about that. Buy these 10 million Hong Kong dollars worth of Hong Kong City Telecom shares for me!"...

At Peregrine Investment Company, when Li Dongling, Ning Wenke and others were invited in, they could see many people busy in front of their computers.

“Here are the best traders in Asia!”

Liang Botao said to Li Dongling with some pride that these traders, traders and analysts of Barings are actually the most valuable assets of Barings. It is not so easy to raise these top talents in Asia, and it may not be achieved by spending money.

"This is my partner, William Du!"

Liang Botao lent money to Li Dongling, another founder of Peregrine.

"Li, it's an honor to meet you. From now on, you will be the best partner of Peregrine!"

William Du was very warm towards Li Dongling. He was very interested in the Cyberport Internet Center proposed by Li Dongling. In addition, after acquiring the shares of Hong Kong City Telecom, he naturally regarded Li Dongling as a major customer of Peregrine.

Li Dongling looked at William Du in front of him. In his previous life, it was him who, after Soros came to Southeast Asia, made a desperate move and threw the last cash flow of Peregrine into Malaysia, preparing to buy at the bottom.

The result, of course, was that Soros and a group of Wall Street hedge funds directly defeated Peregrine, which ultimately led to its complete failure to recover.

But at this moment, William Du is still the glorious founder of Peregrine. No one would believe that he would lead Peregrine into trouble.

As soon as he entered the office, Liang Botao said to Li Dongling, "The financing for Cyberport is going smoothly. Banks in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, and Singapore are providing loans to Cyberport. Currently, a preliminary amount of US$300 million has been raised. The US$1.7 billion should be fully raised, but the interest rate is not low!"

Li Dongling nodded. The economy in Asia was very hot at the moment, and companies across the country had a strong demand for bank loans, so the interest rate would definitely not be cheap.

"Someone is buying a large amount of Hong Kong City Telecom shares. I don't know if they are trying to compete with us for shares!"

The head of Peregrine's trading department suddenly burst in and said.

Hearing this, Liang Botao and Du William hurried out. Li Dongling and Ning Wenke looked at each other and followed them out.

"It's an order of 10 million. Stop buying for now!"

Looking at the stock price that suddenly rose, Liang Botao stared at the computer screen, "The trading department is very careful in trading. With the market value of Hongcheng Telecom, it should not have attracted much attention!"

"Are some guys testing us?"

Du William also spoke up and said that there is no shortage of geniuses in this world. Some people do have a keen sense of smell and can detect anomalies from clues in the data.

As soon as a large order was placed, many small orders followed and rushed in for Hongcheng Telecom stocks.

But seeing that there was no follow-up, the share price of Hongcheng Telecom fell again. At this moment, I don’t know how many pairs of eyes were staring at the share price of Hongcheng Telecom.

"According to the current speed, how much more is needed to acquire 5% of Hongcheng Telecom's shares?" Li Dongling asked.

"It will take at least a week if we don't want to cause drastic fluctuations in the stock price!" Liang Botao turned around and looked at Li Dongling.

"Three days!"

"On the third day, Cyberport will get this equity and then announce its entry into the board of directors of Hong Kong City Telecom!"

Li Dongling said directly that this kind of thing could not be concealed, so it would be better to make some noise and tell all parties that Cyberport, supported by Dongling Hi-Tech, was going to enter the market. Anyway, in order to get the final controlling stake in Hong Kong City Telecom, they still had to fight to determine the winner, but that was a matter for the future. Now, Li Dongling was preparing to return to Hanxi early to celebrate the New Year.

……

In the trading hall of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Lu Dongliang was not disappointed when he saw that the tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars he invested only caused a small ripple which then died down.

After watching the market for another day and just when he thought there was no hope, when it was almost closing time, Lu Dongliang suddenly heard a scream coming from the trading hall.

Then I saw that the share price of Hongcheng Telecom suddenly rose from 12.58 to 12.7, and then at the closing, it broke through the 12.9 mark.

The next day, when Lu Dongliang came, under the attention of countless people in the trading hall, the share price of Gangcheng Telecom fluctuated greatly that day, and it was obvious that the confrontation was very fierce. At the end of the day, the share price soared to 14.7 yuan!
It was not until after the market closed that a piece of news suddenly came out, shocking the entire city of Hong Kong. Cyberport announced that it had acquired 13% of Hong Kong Telecom’s shares and officially joined the board of directors of Hong Kong Telecom!
A company which was established less than a month ago has acquired shares in the century-old Hongcheng Telecom Company!
