Hong Kong variety show: I Am a Tycoon

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, all the reporters were stunned.

Only one female reporter muttered to herself, "Do you intend to go long on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange?"

Upon hearing the female reporter's words, everyone looked at Chen Jiajun in surprise, and an uproar ensued.

Chen Jiajun continued, "Why not! We are Hong Kongers, so naturally we should do something for Hong Kong! That old guy Soros is annoying, and I'm prepared to cooperate with the SAR government to drive this greedy old crocodile out of our hometown!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, the reporters who had previously whispered slanders against him felt as if they had been slapped in the face, their faces burning with pain.

Chen Jiajun didn't say much to the reporters; just making a statement was enough.

The wealthy people in Hong Kong aren't so easily fooled.

If Chen Jiajun and other Chinese businessmen don't pull off a spectacular victory, they won't follow suit.

The commotion outside quickly reached inside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, attracting considerable attention.

Everyone inside the Hong Kong Stock Exchange was devastated, but a glimmer of hope appeared in the eyes of Chen Jiajun and others.

But many more people were deeply mocking.

If it weren't for Chen Jiajun's identity, many people would probably be calling him crazy.

Under Soros's attack, the Hang Seng Index has fallen from its peak of over 16,000 points to its current level of over 6,000 points.

In just six months, it has gained nearly 10,000 points.

At this point, only a fool would enter the market to go long. Not to mention small investors and retail investors.

Seeing everyone's gaze, Bao Yugang whispered to Chen Jiajun, "Jun, will something unexpected happen? I feel like this is no different from gambling!"

Chen Jiajun reassured Bao Yugang, saying, "Don't worry, we're guaranteed to win!"

Although Chen Jiajun's voice wasn't loud, it was still heard by many people.

Hearing Chen Jiajun's confident words, many people couldn't help but start whispering among themselves: "Does this big boss Chen Jiajun... think he's some kind of god of wealth? If this stock actually goes up, I'll do a handstand and have diarrhea!"

“Maybe the big boss has some inside information?” another person countered.

"Insider information?" The man sneered and continued to mock, "Unless Soros dies unexpectedly... no, even if Soros dies, it won't matter. It's only possible if all those international speculators die one by one! If Chen Jiajun can really do it, he's not the so-called 'King of Hong Kong,' he should be the King of the World!"

Hearing the mocking words, the person who had initially shown some hope now had their eyes dimmed again.

Chen Jiajun didn't care about the ridicule from those around him!
I just spoke with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority by phone, so the counterattack begins now!
After tolerating Soros and these international speculators for so long, everyone has been holding back their anger.

So either don't make a move at all, or if you do, you have to make a name for yourself!
Chen Jiajun said to Luo Minsheng beside him, "Time's up, let's begin!"

"Yes, boss!" Luo Minsheng lowered himself and came here today specifically to be Chen Jiajun's trader.

With Luo Minsheng's actions, a sum of money was quickly poured into the stock market.

A moment later, the Hang Seng Index finally showed some signs of movement. The index, which had been declining for some time, suddenly jumped up by five points.

Those at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange who witnessed this scene couldn't help but widen their eyes in astonishment.

Some people even pinched themselves hard to make sure they weren't dreaming.

The Hang Seng Index finally rose?

"It's gone up! It's gone up!" Bao Yugang said, shaking Chen Jiajun's shoulders.

Chen Jiajun, however, remained remarkably calm: "This is nothing!"

Sure enough, as soon as Chen Jiajun finished speaking, the Hang Seng Index jumped again, this time rising by four points.

This caused an uproar throughout the entire exchange, with everyone discussing it.

The guy who was just mocking had his sneer frozen on his face.

It went up! It really went up, and by a full nine points? How is that possible?!

Moreover, this upward trend has not stopped, with continuous increases of one or two percentage points.

This is the first time such a situation has occurred in the past six months.

This left financial institutions and retail investors within the Hong Kong Stock Exchange completely dumbfounded.

However, people soon realized that something was wrong; the way the price increased was definitely not something that Chen Jiajun could have done alone.

There must be the help of the Hong Kong SAR government behind this, mobilizing a massive amount of funds.

This move completely stunned not only the financial institutions and retail investors on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but also international speculators.

Once they realized what was happening, they immediately mobilized funds and began a frantic sell-off. This did cause the Hang Seng Index to drop slightly, but it rebounded dramatically the next moment!

"Hiss!" Many retail investors gasped, muttering to themselves, "How much money did the Special Administrative Region government mobilize this time?!"

"This drop must be caused by international speculators dumping shares, right?"

"Definitely, but...it doesn't seem to be of much use?"

In the following period, international speculators dumped shares aggressively, and after a period of decline, the Hang Seng Index rose against the trend again.

Each time the price drops, the increase becomes even greater and more dramatic!
This tactic completely baffles the other party.

However, the financial institutions and retail investors in Hong Kong are still waiting to see how things develop, after all, this kind of thing is too surreal.

It felt somewhat unreal to them, and they decided to wait and see.

Chen Jiajun smiled slightly; this was exactly the effect he wanted. He then said to Luo Minsheng, "Asheng, continue!"

"Yes, boss!" Luo Minsheng nodded and continued to pour money into the stock market.

As retail investors watched the numbers fluctuate, rising by more than 100 points since the market opened, they finally couldn't sit still any longer and immediately followed suit, buying in line with Chen Jiajun.

"Holy crap!" Bao Yugang even swore, looking at Chen Jiajun with excitement: "It really went up?"

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "It's alright, after all, we have the cooperation of the Special Administrative Region government!"

"Oops, I forgot about that!" Bao Yugang said calmly, "After you came back from your hometown, you had a meeting with those people from the Special Administrative Region government! So why did you call us here today?"

Chen Jiajun laughed: "It's all for show! Look, did anyone follow us in?"

Bao Yugang nodded, and retail investors followed suit. Small and medium-sized securities firms were all taking advantage of the situation to buy on the rise.

The herd mentality has already taken hold, and international speculators can no longer drive the market down today.

Chen Jiajun smiled and said, "Alright, we've achieved our goal. Ah Sheng, spend all the money you have left! Let's go eat, and we'll come back this afternoon!"

Upon hearing Chen Jiajun's words, Luo Minsheng smiled and poured all his funds into the stock market before leaving with Chen Jiajun.

Seeing the numbers constantly rising on the electronic screen, everyone seemed to go mad.

In just one morning, the Hang Seng Index was boosted by nearly 300 points!

This is nothing short of a miracle for Hong Kong's market today.

Reporters couldn't stop Chen Jiajun and his entourage from leaving, but they could still pester ordinary stock investors.

They quickly learned of Chen Jiajun's astonishing move at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and were all incredibly excited. They immediately went back to work on their articles, and the news was released by noon.

The news was filled with praise for Chen Jiajun and other Chinese businessmen, calling them the saviors of Hong Kong.

"Alright, turn off the TV, it's too cheesy!" Chen Jiajun said speechlessly.

Inside the Peninsula Hotel, a group of big bosses are having a meal.

The news on the TV in the private room happened to be playing this kind of news, making Chen Jiajun feel uneasy.

Huo Yingnan said with a smile, "Ah Jun, you're still too thin-skinned! Let the media hype it up! Isn't that exactly the effect you want?"

Chen Jiajun rolled his eyes and said, "Attracting some retail investors is fine, but to entice the truly wealthy, one day of victory is probably not enough! What wealthy person would believe the media's hype? They still want to see the results."

“That makes sense!” Lin Zeming said with a smile. “But Ah Jun, how long can this trick last? Even with our help, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket!”

Chen Jiajun said with a smile, "I have two trump cards, but it's not the time to reveal them yet!"

"Tsk, it's good to see you're so confident!" Bao Yugang said, clicking his tongue. "We're really getting old!"

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Let's drink to our first victory!" Huo Yingnan said with a smile, raising his glass.

"Cheers!"

A group of big bosses were raising their glasses in a private room to celebrate, and this scene was captured by a reporter who had sneaked in.

It then made the news with the headline, "Chinese-owned Chambers of Commerce Celebrate in Advance: Are They Really Confident, or Have They Lost Their Mind?"

No one cared about the contents of the newspaper, but seeing these people raising their glasses in Hong Kong sparked some thoughts among many.

Whether it's Chen Jiajun, Fok Ying-nam, Bao Yugang, Lin Zeming, or other Chinese businessmen, I've had dealings with them all.

It's possible that Chen Jiajun alone has gone insane, but what if so many big bosses went insane together?
This immediately alerted those with a keen sense of smell, revealing a different odor. (End of Chapter)
