After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 715 Praising to Kill, Setting a Trap
"Why was it delayed by half an hour?"

"Has something happened inside again?"

As time ticked by, the media reporters waiting outside couldn't help but start discussing it.

Normally, this kind of news is very timely because the contract details have definitely been checked multiple times by both parties beforehand.

Today is just a formal signing and announcing the relevant information to the public. As long as both parties are willing to cooperate, it's just a matter of going through the motions.

The fact that the press conference, originally scheduled for 10:00 AM, has been postponed by half an hour means something must have happened.

The reporters were all itching to see what was going on backstage, craning their necks to look, even though they knew the meeting room for the discussions was upstairs.

"The Hang Seng Index has already surged in response and is about to break through 26000 points. Could something unexpected be about to happen?"

During the waiting period, the Hang Seng Index, which opened higher today, suddenly stopped its upward momentum, and Hong Kong stocks, which had seen net inflows for a week, saw net outflows for the first time.

Previously, when Tianxing Quant settled in Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose after the news was announced.

Following Luk Leung's acquisition of Chi Cheung Building, it was suspected that Skystar was transferring its financial industry, and the Hang Seng Index rose again.

The Hang Seng Index has risen a total of 2332 points in two waves of gains, but the unexpected event at this high level is not good news.

Therefore, smart investors choose to withdraw their funds, securing some profits and reserving some capital to deal with any unforeseen circumstances that may arise.

"Everyone says that Tencent is the king of Hong Kong stocks, but now it seems that Tencent is just the king of stocks, while Lu Liang is the king of the market."

Some people expressed their feelings with a touch of morbid curiosity and made some rather malicious speculations.

If the reason for postponing the press conference is to abandon the acquisition of Chi Cheung Building and clarify that entering the Hong Kong market is just a rumor, then Hong Kong stocks may well experience a Black Friday today.

"Fuck your mother, fuck you, don't jinx it."

Upon hearing this, his friend's eyes immediately flashed with a fierce light.

He gambled all his down payment for the house into the stock market, even using a 3x leverage, just to win big. He believed that after the acquisition, Zhixiang Building would be renamed Tianxing Financial Building, signifying the formal transfer of Lu Liang's financial assets to Hong Kong, ending the correction that had lasted for more than half a year, and starting a new bull market.

If he bets right, his down payment will become the full amount, so now he can't stand any bad news.

Why such a big reaction?

The man had barely finished speaking when suddenly his hair stood on end.

He instantly understood what it meant to have eyes that could pierce someone, and it was clear that he wasn't the only one who thought this way.

Gambling is rampant among Hong Kong people, ranging from stock speculation, futures trading, and foreign exchange betting to betting on Mark Six, horse racing, and dice games.

If there were 100 reporters present, at least 95 of them would be participants; those who didn't gamble would be the odd ones out.

"The bad ones don't work, the good ones do." He quickly spat a few times, gave an embarrassed smile, and dared not say anything more nonsense.

Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, and the financial programs of the three major Hong Kong satellite TV channels, TVB's "Financial Observation Room," ATV's "Financial Perspective," and Phoenix's "Golden Stone Finance," were all broadcasting and reposting the news live.

Amidst the market's high expectations, a figure appeared in the passageway to one side of the podium. Lu Liang, dressed in a blue suit and with a smile on his face, walked at the very front.

Li Shaojie, a financial expert at the Financial Observation Room, jokingly remarked, "Lu Sheng seems to radiate light."

Professor Johnston of the Department of Finance at the University of Hong Kong chimed in: "A person anticipated by over ten million investors naturally radiates brilliance."

The two sides, consisting of six people in total, stood in a row. Lu Liang stood in the middle left position. He and Zhang Tao looked at each other and bowed deeply to the camera.

"I apologize to all the reporters. We just revised some details of the cooperation, which caused the delay."

Lu Liang smiled and explained the reason for the delay, but did not elaborate. Instead, he looked at Zhang Tao and smiled politely, "Mr. Zhang, please go first?"

"Mr. Lu, please have your side speak first."

Zhang Tao smiled apologetically, remembering Liu's instructions to prioritize Lu Liang and avoid provoking him.

Lu Liang smiled and bowed, offering no polite refusal. He pulled out a chair, sat down, adjusted the microphone height, leaned forward, rested his elbows on the table, and crossed his hands.

He smiled faintly, his eyes scanning the entire room from left to right, ignoring those who raised their hands to speak.

"I am Lu Liang, Lu Liang of Tianxing Investment."

Lu Liang smiled and said slowly, "There are three questions that I believe everyone is very curious about, so I will just announce them here."

"First, Skystar Financial Group will be established in Hong Kong today. Second, Skystar Financial has reached a transaction cooperation agreement with Chinese Estates Holdings. Third, Chi Cheung Building has been sold for HK$72 billion and will become Skystar Financial's office space in Hong Kong."

His words caused a huge stir, and most of the reporters looked astonished.

A small number of reporters remained calm; without exception, they were all from the mainland and had met Lu Liang before.

Interviewing Lu Liang has always been the easiest project for them. They don't need to ask questions; Lu Liang often throws out the answers they are most curious about during his opening remarks.

It's just frustrating that he rarely gives interviews.

Aside from being relatively active during the period when Tian Shu was released, I usually only heard of him but never saw him in person.

At the same time, Hong Kong's three major stock indices—the Hang Seng Index, the H-share Index, and the Hang Seng Tech Index—surged, with the Hang Seng Index, as the main board market, instantly breaking through the 26000-point mark. Financial experts on various TV programs, seemingly on bribe, endlessly inflated their expectations for the future market.

30,000 points is just the beginning; the historical high of 33,000 points can definitely be broken, and the next three years are expected to see a rise to 40,000 points.

Of the three news items, the most important and crucial is the first one: Tianxing Financial Group was established in Hong Kong today.

Tianxing Investment, as a group company, had long been qualified for this, but Lu Liang had not integrated its resources before.

Now the truth has finally come out: he didn't want to integrate, he just didn't want to integrate in Shanghai.

The establishment of Skystar Financial Group in Hong Kong is undoubtedly a landmark event in Hong Kong's financial market.

Because this group represents not only Lu Liang, but also all the connections he has built up over the past three years.

Even if Hong Kong is just a transit point, in the future, both domestic and foreign funds will have to enter Hong Kong first and then be distributed.

Even elementary school students know that handling pork with your hands will definitely leave your hands covered in oil, let alone such a large sum of money.

Furthermore, the fact that Tianxing Financial was established in Hong Kong, not Shanghai, suggests that the Hong Kong stock market is a more worthwhile investment than the A-share market.

The herd mentality applies to all industries, especially the financial industry. With Lu Liang's influence, there will only be more and more investors joining the Hong Kong stock market in the future. Breaking 40,000 points within three years is not an exaggeration.

In that instant, the net outflow of funds from the market turned positive, with a large number of retail investors and speculative funds following suit and entering the market, driving up the Hang Seng Index.

But in a corner unnoticed by anyone, a trickle of southbound capital quietly cashed out and left the market while it was booming.

The director's office is located on the 88th floor of Phase 2 of the Plaza Building.

“Lu Liang?” Chen Jiebin frowned. There were two monitors in front of him.

One person was watching the press conference at Zhixiang Building, while another was monitoring several funding channels.

All three are dedicated channels for southbound capital, and were also the major capital channels used by Tianxing Private Equity when it entered Hong Kong last time.

They cannot pinpoint the exact source of every single penny of funding, but they can roughly estimate the net inflow of that funding.

Since Tianxing Quant was established in Hong Kong, the large funds channels used by Tianxing Private Equity have consistently shown a net inflow.

However, despite such a significant positive development today, with southbound capital flowing in exponentially, Tianxing Private Equity's funding channels have experienced a net outflow.

What exactly is he trying to do?

Chen Jiebin suddenly thought of the Big D Club; their trading methods were exactly the same.

They first let their own people's funds enter the market and then release all sorts of positive news to attract people to enter, and then they cash out at a high price.

However, unlike Big D Club, which only invests a few billion Hong Kong dollars in small-scale operations, Tianxing Private Equity has previously invested more than 20 billion US dollars.

Even if no further funding is provided, it's still over HK$150 billion. So, back and forth, it's rolled over to at least HK$200 billion.

If Lu Liang only wanted to make money, Chen Jiebin might not be so angry, but he is eroding the trust of the people of Hong Kong.

It was promised that when Tianxing and Luliang arrived, a bull market would begin. But he made a quick profit and ran away, leaving all those who trusted him stranded on the mountain in the cold wind.

The key is that this kind of thing can't be covered up. At the earliest tonight, or at the latest tomorrow or the day after, someone will definitely discover that southbound funds are decreasing inflows, or even experiencing net outflows.

"I need an explanation!" Chen Jiebin's face was gloomy as he stared at Lu Liang's handsome face on the screen.

He smiled warmly, as if talking to an old friend, recounting his first encounter with the Hong Kong stock market a few years ago.

"It's no exaggeration to say that the Hong Kong stock market was my mentor; it's like an intellectual, elegant, and charming woman."

Thirty-three years old is the prime of life, a time of great masculine charm, not to mention Lu Liang's immense wealth.

Under his lavish praise, countless locals felt elated, their thoughts instantly transported back ten years.

At that time, the mainland had not yet developed. They not only shed their colonial title, but also became the envy of countless mainlanders. Even blue-collar workers could keep a mistress and enjoy the privileges of the elite in the mainland.

For Hong Kong people, the decade following the millennium was their most cherished golden age.

Time has passed and things have changed. Since 08, the development of mainland China has been like a clockwork, and it is no exaggeration to describe it as changing rapidly.

In contrast, Hong Kong has stagnated, gradually transforming from a modern metropolis that mainlanders yearn for into a city for personal shoppers.

Take the neighboring town of Shenzhen as an example. As long as you don't want to save money, a regular worker with a monthly salary of five or six thousand can still eat and live well.

In contrast, even with a monthly salary of 10,000 yuan, they can only live frugally and in dark, cramped birdcages.

They could have endured the darkness if they had never seen the light.

They haven't been praised in a long time, especially since the other party is one of the most outstanding young entrepreneurs in mainland China, or even globally.

With Lu Liang's enthusiastic praise, the Hang Seng Index surged towards 27000 points like a wild horse.
