Hong Kong General: Rebirth of Rage, Rising from Prison

Chapter 256 Earn a billion and take down Huo Zhaotang!
The TV program has ended.

After turning off the TV, Luo Minsheng was unable to calm down for a long time.

Not only will Chen Shixian make a fortune, but he will also make a fortune along with him.

A 7% commission? I'm so excited just thinking about it.

This was the biggest one-time profit he had made since helping his uncle's landlord association manipulate the stock market and resist foreign capital.

Therefore, this must be Chen Shixian's father appearing in his dream!

It's definitely nothing else.

If you can't figure something out, don't dwell on it.

Once you can make money, everything will fall into place.

Anyway, he was just a stockbroker, providing financial services only to his clients.

As for solving cases, that's the job of the police.

Besides, the news has already reported that it was the three notorious thieves who did it.

Luo Minsheng sat down at the table, picked up his knife and fork to cut the freshly pan-fried steak, and with one cut, the medium-rare steak released a few drops of blood.

A drop of blood splattered on his hand, but he calmly pulled out a piece of paper and gently wiped it dry.

The hand of capital is no different from the hand of gangsters; both are stained with blood.

The only difference is the way the blood gets on them.

The tycoons and big capitalists who manipulate the stock market have more blood on their hands than gangsters.

Luo Minsheng elegantly picked up a piece of steak, put it in his mouth and chewed, swallowing it whole, blood and all, thoroughly enjoying himself.

……

Everything changed overnight.

The news of the robbery of Pan Asia Bank, aided by the three notorious criminals, spread like wildfire throughout Hong Kong.

The Central Bank of Hong Kong, which claims to be the safest central bank in Hong Kong, was robbed of 100 million US dollars less than a week after its press conference, a blatant slap in the face to the authorities.

The next day, as soon as the stock market opened, the stock of Pan Asia Bank (stock code 0016) began to plummet.

Many people began selling their stocks.

This triggered a sharp drop in prices.

Pan Asia Bank's stock has fallen from a high of 4.9 to 3.1.

Moreover, there is a continuing downward trend.

York and Bob, the major shareholders of Pan Asia Bank, were stunned by the sheer number of shares they held.

Since the central bank began operation, the stock price has been rising steadily, from 1.9 yuan to 2.7 yuan.

Later, due to an unknown big boss shorting Pan Asia Bank, they confidently bought back shares, causing a group of retail investors to chase after them, and the stock price climbed again. The current stock price has risen to more than four dollars.

Originally, everyone was bullish on Pan Asia Bank.

Just wait for the time to come, then swallow the deposit of that big idiot behind the scenes.

You can also make a profit along the way.

Unexpectedly, Pan Asia Bank has now been robbed, with 100 million US dollars stolen.

This led to a decline in market expectations and a frenzy of panic selling of Pan Asia Bank shares.

"We must save the market!"

Bob immediately told Manager He, "Acquire stocks on the market and drive up the stock price again."

The shareholders united to save the market, hoping to weather this storm.

Major shareholders are buying back shares to stabilize the stock price. Given Pan Asia Bank's strong foundation, the stock price should be able to recover in time.

Thanks to the efforts of these major shareholders to rescue the market, the stock price was finally stabilized temporarily.

But not long after, the stock price plummeted like a child with an upset stomach.

"what happened?"

Bob has gone mad. The stock price had clearly stabilized, so why is it starting to plummet again?

“Mr. Bob, the police have released a case report. After fingerprint comparison, a severed hand was found in the vault, which belongs to Mr. Huo Zhaotang.”

Manager He's answer was like a thunderbolt, striking Bob off guard and leaving him completely flustered.

This news is absolutely terrible; it's like adding insult to injury.

Initially, due to the seriousness of the case, the police kept the details confidential. Now that the police are incompetent and news of people kneeling before robbers is everywhere, they have no choice but to bring up Huo Zhaotang's case in order to suppress the heat.

This is standard procedure.

Use one scandal to overshadow another.

Anyway, Huo Zhaotang's affair can't be covered up anymore, so it's better to expose him and let him take the fall.

"Sell! Sell my Pan Asia Bank shares immediately!"

"It's already dropped to 1.6 yuan, and if we wait any longer, it will only go lower. Tomorrow it might even trigger an avalanche!"

Bob panicked, his face darkened, and he made a snap decision immediately, quickly starting to sell off his stocks.

When someone shorted Pan Asia Bank, he went long and bought a lot at a high price. Later, when the stock price fell, he worked with shareholders to stabilize the stock market and bought a lot of shares. Now that the market has started to crash, the large number of shares he held have depreciated to an extreme value.

It's like buying high and selling low, resulting in huge losses in the process.

As Bob began selling off his shares.

Many other shareholders also panicked and decisively began selling their shares to minimize losses.

As major shareholders began selling off their shares, a large number of shares entered the market, causing Pan Asia Bank's stock to plummet even further.

Like a snowball rolling downhill, this pessimistic sentiment is growing stronger and stronger.

The foreigners were all complaining bitterly.

Blood loss!

Originally greedy, wanting to swallow the margin, now look what happened, he's lost everything, principal and interest.

I've almost lost all my underwear.

That's how the stock market is; overnight it's booming and prosperous, and overnight it's devastating and miserable. It's just that dramatic.

But even bigger blows were yet to come.

It is unknown who spread the news that Pan Asia Bank was going bankrupt, which caused a large number of people to rush to the bank and demand to withdraw their deposits.

A large number of depositors requested to withdraw their deposits.

The sheer number of depositors nearly wore out the bank's doors, leaving the bank's management in a complete mess.

The only option is to quickly sell some assets and recover some loans in advance to cope with the bank run.

Originally, these foreign shareholders could have used their funds to alleviate the liquidity pressure on banks.

Unfortunately, all of these foreigners' money is tied up in the stock market. They have no cash on hand, just a bunch of stocks, which are of no use at all.

"Huo Zhaotang, chairman of Pan Asia Bank, has been kidnapped by a notorious thief and may have been killed!"

Pan Asia Bank's stock price has plummeted to its daily limit; its future is hopeless!

"Pan Asia Bank is going bankrupt!"

"If we don't withdraw the money now, it'll be gone!"

……

Such remarks, and the media's tendency to sensationalize and promote the issue.

As a result, this run on the bank grew larger and lasted longer.

Ultimately, Pan Asia Bank went bankrupt due to insolvency.

"Mr. Chen, all the shares of Pan Asia Bank have been returned. After deducting handling fees, interest, principal and commission, the total profit is 670 million."

Luo Minsheng excitedly reported to Chen Shixian that they had made a fortune shorting Pan Asia Bank.

At the time, everyone was optimistic about Pan Asia Bank and had high expectations for it.

When Chen Shixian shorted Pan Asia Bank, the company was in its growth phase, and no one expected it to collapse so quickly.

Therefore, the major shareholders who went long at that time have already lost a lot of money, and many retail investors who followed the trend and bought in are also going to lose money as well.

"Well done, Luo Minsheng!"

"If you weren't Uncle Tong's personal manager, I'd be tempted to poach you!"

"You're a real talent!"

Chen Shixian was in a great mood, but smiled with regret.

Top agents like Luo Minsheng are highly professional, mature, and have a complete team, making them very easy to work with.

It's a pity the other party was Huang Shitong's man, otherwise, they would have made their move long ago.

"If Chen Sheng tries to poach me, Uncle Tong might have to fight you to the death."

"However, if you need similar services again next time, feel free to contact me."

Luo Minsheng pushed up his glasses, his mouth agape in a wide smile.

With a big client like Chen Shixian, one order is enough to live off for three years. We could treat him like a living Buddha.

"Next time? That depends on what kind of dream my dad sends me."

Chen Shixian laughed it off.

Even if Luo Minsheng is very capable, he is still Huang Shitong's man. It's fine to borrow him for a while, but if you want him to work for you long-term, you still need to build your own financial team. As his business grows larger and his money increases, investment and financial management will become indispensable.

You definitely need to have your own people.

As for the next time, and when the next time he would get involved in stocks, Chen Shixian himself couldn't say for sure.

After all, he didn't know much about stocks; the stock market is a game of musical chairs.

Whoever ends up in it will suffer a huge loss.

Even if they make money this time, they don't dare to be too arrogant and directly launch a large-scale attack on the stock market.

After all, the world of Hong Kong variety shows is unpredictable, and it's impossible to be a winner every time.

The world of Hong Kong variety shows is full of uncertainties and differs from the real world.

Investing requires caution; this is not just a saying.

This time, they orchestrated the Pan-Asia Bank robbery, then used the three notorious thieves to hype up the incident, and finally had Bursting Beads and his gang spread rumors and incite bankruptcy, causing a bank run.

That's how he was able to make a whopping 670 million in the stock market.

In addition, there was 100 million US dollars stolen from the bank, equivalent to more than 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

After deducting the money laundering and the portion that was distributed, he personally made more than 300 million.

In addition to the more than 600 million earned in the stock market.

The total has exceeded one billion!

This was the biggest and most profitable heist I've ever pulled off since I started working on Hong Kong variety shows.

It's even more profitable than selling heroin.

As Brother Qiang, who enjoys drinking coffee without sugar, once said, "The bigger the storm, the more expensive the fish."

This risky move has really made them rich.

The stock market is so exciting!

However, with every gain comes a loss, and when you lose, it's not just exciting, it's also painful.

The establishment of Huo Zhaotang and Pan-Asia Bank was achieved with perfect timing, location, and people; the conditions were extremely demanding.

The risks are also extremely high.

If any link in the chain goes wrong, the consequences will be dire, and it will be impossible to replicate the outcome a second time.

After meeting with Luo Minsheng, Chen Shixian immediately called Qiu Gang'ao and the others.

"Make your move, kill Huo Zhaotang!"

"Yes, Brother Xian!"

After hanging up the phone, Qiu Gang'ao tossed his ramen-noodle-like hair and said to Baozhu and Aquan beside him, "Send Huo Zhaotang out to sea!"

"It's time to take back the life we ​​gave him!"

"Great!"

Bursting Beads clenched his fist, his face full of excitement: "We've finally waited for this day!"

"Who's next?"

Ah Quan's lips twitched slightly: "That bastard Zhang Chongbang or Situ Jie, I guess."

"These two people are a real eyesore."

"Now that we've dealt with Huo Zhaotang, it's time to settle accounts with them!"

Ahua nodded: "I can't wait for the videotape in my hand to see the light of day again!"

"When Zhang Chongbang stood in court, did he really say he would admit his mistakes, that wrong is wrong and right is right, and that he would take responsibility for his own mistakes?"

"You still want a chance?"

Bursting Beads scoffed, "I bet you just want a chance."

"That bastard is the most hypocritical."

Be strict with others and lenient with yourself.

"If he were truly so righteous, he should have turned himself in and confessed everything after the incident at the Grand Coin Hotel."

"But did he do it?"

Qiu Gang'ao's eyes were cold, and his lips parted slightly: "What's the point of saying all this now?"

"Brother Xian has his own plans, we'll just wait."

"When have you ever let us down?"

"Now, let's get down to business and send Huo Zhaotang on his way!"

Ten minutes later, a brown van sped toward the dock.

Soon the fishing boat roared and set sail from the harbor towards the middle of the sea.

In a daze, Huo Zhaotang, who was barely alive, slowly opened his eyes and found that his body was drifting with the waves.

Standing before him were the cold-faced Qiu Gang'ao and Baozhu and others.

These past few days, the dual torment of physical and mental suffering has driven Huo Zhaotang to the brink of collapse.

His hair was messy, and his face was covered in stubble, losing his former glory and dignity.

The bankruptcy of Pan Asia Bank destroyed all his hard work, leaving him heartbroken.

He has no children in his entire life.

His career was what he cared about and valued most in his life, and it was all ruined.

All destroyed.

My heart is bleeding.

He was already somewhat out of his mind.

A sea breeze blew by, and the salty, damp smell rushed into Huo Zhaotang's nostrils.

He licked his dry lips, lay sprawled on the boat without any dignity, and pleaded, "Brother Ao, please, give me some water to drink?"

For the past few days, Huo Zhaotang has neither eaten nor drunk anything, and his consciousness is now somewhat blurred.

Physiological desire has triumphed over everything.

He was so hungry and so thirsty.

"Clap!"

Ahua threw a bottle of water at Huo Zhaotang's feet.

Huo Zhaotang's eyes widened instantly. He crawled over, grabbed the water with his severed hand, and struggled to open it with his other hand.

Water, finally we have water to drink.

When Huo Zhaotang opened the water bottle, the moment his lips touched it, he felt a dampness.

The thirst for water reached its peak.

"Oh!"

Qiu Gang'ao, his face cold, kicked the water bottle away and cursed inwardly, "Drink water? You don't deserve it! Go down to the underworld and drink the Yellow Springs water!"

Water gurgled out, flowing onto the cabin and spilling all over the floor.

The feeling of gaining and then instantly losing drove Huo Zhaotang to the brink of madness.

He lay on the ground, desperately licking the water with his tongue, looking no different from a madman.

Qiu Gang'ao, Baozhu, Ahua, and Aquan all looked at him with a mix of amusement and satisfaction.

"Brother Ao, this old guy's popularity is disgusting, let's get rid of him!"

"Exploding Beads" sneered.

"what?!"

Huo Zhaotang regained some of his senses and struggled in terror: "No, no, no, you can't kill me!"

"You can't kill me!"

Before he could struggle, Qiu Gang'ao grabbed his head, flipped the butterfly knife in his palm, and slashed it across his neck.

They threw the body directly into the sea.

This time, Huo Zhaotang didn't get a share of the land reclamation; he was just left to feed the fish.

Huo Zhaotang died, and his body drifted at sea for two days, becoming swollen and smelly, before being retrieved by fishermen using fishing nets.

This news instantly propelled the already high-profile bank robbery case involving the three notorious thieves to an even greater climax.

Throughout Hong Kong Island, in every street and alley, in teahouses and mahjong parlors, the topic was being discussed everywhere.

The media even dubbed the three kingpins the "Kingpins of the Century"!
21st floor of Kwong Cheong Building, near Kowloon.

Inside one of the two-bedroom rooms, the three notorious thieves gathered in this cramped space.

Several of his men were either standing, lying down, or leaning against something; some were smoking, and others were drinking.

The whole room was filled with smoke and fumes.

Each of them had a worried look on their face.

On television, the 'glorious deeds' of these kingpins of the century were being broadcast.
