The world begins with Hong Kong movies

Chapter 301 Who wouldn't be envious?

The Hong Kong Island tycoon circle has been quite turbulent lately.

A piece of news has unsettled the minds of many wealthy Chinese in Hong Kong.

The matter involves enormous profits, and even Li Bancheng, the richest man in Hong Kong, cannot take it lightly.

HSBC does not support Hong Kong tycoons' participation in stock market investments for their daily lives.

This matter was initially classified information, but it couldn't be kept secret and spread, with HSBC offering no explanation whatsoever.

If any Hong Kong tycoons want to invest in the Little Life stock market through HSBC's channels, HSBC does not provide leverage services, directly extinguishing the ambitions of some Hong Kong tycoons.

Not only HSBC, but also foreign banks from Europe and the United States in Hong Kong are taking similar measures.

Anyone with a sound mind knows what this means.

In fact, this trick really works!

Large sums of money can be quite troublesome to handle.

If someone like Wu Feng doesn't have a particularly close relationship with any bank, he has every right to say, "If this place doesn't want me, there are plenty of other places that will!"
Other Hong Kong Island tycoons don't live such a carefree life.

Most of them are affiliated with a powerful commercial bank.

It's not just about the flow of funds, but also about loans, investments, and most importantly, the security of funds. These are not trivial matters; there are too many things involved.

It's not just a matter of funding; there's also a lot of important business information that outsiders rarely know.

It's hard to say whether HSBC had prior warnings when the shipping magnate abandoned ship and Li Bancheng swindled Huang.

Sometimes, getting inside information in advance can easily create the image of a top Hong Kong tycoon!
This is why, even if they know that HSBC and other foreign banks in Hong Kong have ill intentions, the top tycoons who are deeply connected with them dare not act rashly.

How could Hong Kong's top Chinese tycoons not know about what's going on in their private lives?
No one would believe they haven't taken any action!
If a bank with which you have a close partnership doesn't offer leverage services, then it's not very meaningful.

Investing your principal in the stock market might not even earn you as much as developing a small real estate project.

Previously, the partner bank refused to provide leverage services, and it is estimated that they will not disclose this information on their own initiative.

After all, it would be embarrassing and might offend the partner bank.

But now, Wu Feng's old friends have taken the initiative to expose him, and rumors about him have suddenly spread throughout the upper circles.

Many wealthy people's eyes immediately focused on Wu Feng!
For no other reason than that Wu Feng made a lot of money investing in the stock market, which is why they should pay attention to him.

Whether it was an old friend who accidentally leaked the information or some guys with enough influence to find out the approximate profits Wu Feng made in the stock market, it's unclear.

Around 800 million dollars!
The news sent shockwaves through Hong Kong's wealthy elite circles.

Not to mention now, even decades later, eight hundred million dollars is not a small sum.

Wu Feng's publicly available phone number was almost overwhelmed with calls.

People from all walks of life—acquaintances and strangers, acquaintances and those who had only heard of him by name—called him to inquire whether the rumors were true.

He neither admitted nor denied it, letting these guys guess.

But this matter caused quite a stir!

Wu Feng's background and how he rose to power are no secrets in Hong Kong.

Anyone with a bit of energy can find out the general situation with just a little investigation.

But the more this is the case, the more astonishing and exaggerated Wu Feng's returns in the stock market seem.

Wu Feng has only been in Hong Kong Island for a few years.

As a result, the profits he earned from investing in the Little Life stock market were enough to make him one of Hong Kong's top billionaires.

Although it is widely known that Wu Feng's assets are not as simple as they appear on the surface.

Aside from the game development companies, whose profits are somewhat exaggerated, the profits of the other companies that can be put on the table are still within a range that everyone can understand and accept.

Even though it's a game development company that's considered a gold mine, due to the short timeframe, its revenue is at most around one billion Hong Kong dollars, and it's impossible for it to earn more.

However, after a stint in the stock market, his net worth skyrocketed.

Which of Hong Kong's wealthy people wouldn't feel a little bit of envy, jealousy, or resentment upon hearing this?
It was rare for Lin Baiyi and his two sons to all be at home.

"Boss, I heard you're planning to invest in Xiao Ri Sheng stock market?"

Having heard the news from somewhere, Lin Baiyi asked directly, "You and Wu Sheng have a very good relationship. Did he really earn so much in such a short time?"

"Definitely!"

Young Master Lin confirmed, "It's just that the initial investment was a bit small, otherwise we would have earned even more!"

“What good luck!”

Lin Baiyi sighed, "Isn't it too late for you to get involved now?"

“It’s not too late!”

Young Master Lin chuckled and said, "I specifically asked Wu Sheng for his opinion. He said not to listen to the opinions of so-called experts. Just keep an eye on the movements of those well-known European and American conglomerates, and you'll understand that this wave of market activity is not over yet!"

"What do you mean?"

Lin Baiyi asked with some doubt: "Could it be that those European and American financial groups can dominate the stock market in Xiaorijia?"

"It really is true!" At this, the smile on Young Master Lin's face disappeared, and he shook his head, saying, "According to Wu Sheng, this wave of stock market rallies was originally a scheme by Europe and America to reap their profits!"

"This rally will only end when European and American financial groups feel they have enough!"

"Impossible, would the government agree to a small-scale lifestyle?"

Young Master Lin couldn't help but interject, "We're not pushovers either!"

"You can say that at home, but please don't say it outside!"

Young Master Lin said disdainfully, "Don't be blinded by the outward appearance of a simple life!"

"To put it bluntly, our country can only be considered a defeated nation with American troops stationed there!"

"The life and death of the entire nation are in the hands of the United States!"

At this point, he recalled what Wu Feng had said at the gathering and subconsciously repeated, "If it weren't for the Plaza Accord, the American economy would be collapsing right now!"

"Whether it's the automotive industry, the microelectronics industry, or the home appliance industry, American companies can't compete with smaller, more established companies!"

"If this goes on for too long, without some underhanded tactics, the United States will be the first to suffer!"

"Since when has a defeated nation been able to ride roughshod over a victorious nation?"

Young Master Lin was somewhat unconvinced, but Lin Baiyi knew that this was the right thing to do.

He sighed and said dejectedly, "The boss is right. In fact, I also want to invest in Xiao Ri Zi stock market, but unfortunately HSBC doesn't offer leverage services!"

As he said this, he was filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, thinking about how Wu Feng could earn nearly a billion dollars in profit in such a short time.

Lin Dashao did not offer any words of comfort to Lin Baiyi, nor did he suggest that he leverage his investment in the booming Little Life stock market through the Hong Kong Island Commercial Bank.

The Lin family is deeply intertwined with HSBC and foreign banks in Europe and America.

"Brother, I have tens of millions of dollars. Could you help me invest them in the Little Life Stock Market?"

Unexpectedly, Young Master Lin suddenly spoke up: "How about we go through your channels, Big Brother?"

"This is something I shouldn't presume to do for you!"

Without even thinking, Young Master Lin refused, saying, "If you really have this idea, just go to the Hong Kong Commercial Bank and handle the relevant business!"

Such conversations not only occurred in the Lin family, but also took place in the homes of other top tycoons on Hong Kong Island.

Indeed, self-interest can be very powerful!
Not to mention, the profits are staggering, measured in billions of dollars; no one could possibly remain indifferent.

While the super-rich themselves are reluctant to personally intervene, their children do not have such concerns.

Some of the more thoughtful ones connected with Wu Feng's old friends and acted alongside them.

As for the others, you can invest them individually, and whether you win or lose depends on your luck.

No one expected that in just one month, the Hong Kong funds invested in the Little Life stock market suddenly increased by several hundred million dollars.

Twenty times, or even fifty times or a hundred times leverage, is not a small number when added together.

After learning the news, Wu Feng couldn't help but sigh: There are so many rich people in Hong Kong, and they are really bold.

With leverage of 50x or 100x, even a small fluctuation can wipe out your entire position.

But this is good, because he feels that the attention focused on him, or rather, on the money he invests in the stock market, has suddenly decreased significantly.

Putting everything else aside, the initial goal of stirring up trouble has been achieved.

He just didn't expect that the news would not only shake the wealthy circles, but also cause ripples in the underworld, which is quite interesting.

"Wu Sheng, Camel from Tung Sing suddenly invited me to dinner earlier!"

That day, his trusted subordinate Li Xin suddenly came to his door and told him some news: "He said he wants to invest in Xiao Ri Sheng stock market and hopes that Wu Sheng can guide him!"

"Has this guy lost his mind?"

Wu Feng asked in surprise, "If he wants to invest in the stock market, he should just go invest there. Why is he coming to me for help? We're not even that close!"

"Wu Sheng, I bet the news that you made a fortune in the stock market has spread far and wide!"

Li Xin, quick-witted, analyzed, "Camel is envious. He's afraid of losing money if he invests on his own, so he's thinking of investing with you, Wusheng, so he'll feel at ease!"

"I can't guarantee you'll make money!"

Wu Feng said irritably, "If we lose money, won't this guy try to pin it on me?"

"Yes, none of these old hands are easy to deal with!"

Li Xin echoed, "Therefore, I did not grant his request. If he really has any ideas about this, he should talk to you, Wusheng, directly!"

"There's nothing to talk about between him and me!"

Wu Feng waved his hand and laughed, "Tell him that if he really has any ideas, he should have a good talk with Jiang Sheng. He's also acting in tandem with me!"

"Boss, can the rest of us follow suit?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xin's eyes lit up and he said directly, "Raising tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is still achievable, and it won't affect my subordinates' business!"
