Chapter 486 A New Chapter! (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
The stock market in the archipelago nation is small and cannot attract foreign investment; it's mostly run by locals.

A new term emerged in later generations that perfectly encapsulates this point: "enclosing oneself in one's own little world"!

To be honest, the stock market in the archipelago nation is probably another channel for the president to amass wealth.

Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but if someone stirs up trouble in the stock market now, they'll inevitably become the target of public criticism.

But then, some of the local wealthy Chinese actually started shorting and buying at the bottom, which was incredibly audacious.

Then, upon further inquiry, it turned out that these individuals, including the so-called richest Chinese in the "Thousand Islands Country," were all front men for the President. That made things more complicated.

Meanwhile, funds from the Netherlands and Portugal launched a surprise attack on the island nation's foreign exchange market while the outside world was overwhelmingly targeting the island nation.

Then, to the astonishment of everyone who was paying attention to the archipelago, the archipelago's foreign exchange market collapsed at the slightest touch!
After all, an archipelago nation like ours has tens of billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves. No matter how bad things are, they couldn't possibly have lost so quickly, right?
Unfortunately, the outside world reacted swiftly, especially the international speculative capital that preys on people without spitting out the bones, which immediately pounced on the opportunity.

A bizarre thing happened: the archipelago nation did not launch a resistance, but instead chose to lie down and let the currency market collapse.

It seems they've made up their minds that they will never easily use the foreign exchange reserves in the national treasury.

Now, it's the international speculative capital's turn to be dumbfounded.

Just like mainland stock investors in later generations, they eventually became shareholders after speculating for a while, which was full of incomprehension and disbelief.

At this time, international speculative capital also failed to understand, and could only tearfully take large amounts of the island nation's currency and frantically buy up its high-quality assets.

Later, they will also give the president 10% of the shares. This is the rule of the Thousand Islands Nation, and even the foreigners have to abide by it.

Fortunately, the main speculative capital came from Portugal and the Netherlands. If it were the UK and the US, they would have had a headache about how to manage or dispose of their high-quality assets.

The Netherlands is extremely familiar with the archipelago nation!

Even today, the Netherlands remains a major force in the archipelago nation.

For example, some local Chinese families!

With Dutch and Portuguese capital converging to jointly manage and develop high-quality assets in the archipelago nation, there is little concern about unforeseen circumstances.

What happened in the archipelago nation has taken the world by surprise!
As one of the four Southeast Asian Tigers, how could the foreign exchange market be so vulnerable?
The most frustrated are undoubtedly the Wall Street capital in the United States.

If they had known the Thousand Islands were so wretched, they would have insisted on using financial means to take a big bite out of them.

In addition, high-quality assets within the archipelago nation are also highly sought after by them.

With the support of American soldiers, they are not afraid of Mr. 10% causing trouble.

Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything at that point.

Other European conglomerates were also extremely frustrated.

Dutch and Portuguese capital can easily crash a country's foreign exchange market. If they were to do it, wouldn't the profits be even greater?
In fact, the island nation was in a state of utter despair at this time.

The money in your hands may not become worthless, but it is an undeniable fact that it can shrink significantly overnight.

However, it's impossible for prices to drop rapidly just because the foreign exchange market collapses.

Conversely, the prices of daily necessities and other goods that are linked to foreign exchange rates skyrocketed.

Given this situation, internal instability is inevitable.

The Timorese natives, who were being deliberately targeted, displayed astonishing resistance and surprisingly formidable fighting ability. Unbeknownst to anyone, Timor's population had not decreased significantly.

Things have come to this point, and something is bound to happen.

Wu Feng had originally wanted Zhang Yong to test the waters, but now there was no need for that.

On Hong Kong Island, ATV held a grand launch ceremony.

Numerous guests were invited, all of whom were considered members of high society.

Of course, anyone with even a slight understanding of their situation would know that most of these guests are from inland China.

It's just a matter of preference, unlike Huo Daheng's situation.

Even Uncle Shaw from TVB came, clearly wanting to know the ratings of ATV after it went satellite TV.

Meanwhile, ATV staff were on high alert in Taiwan, Siam, Annam, Myanmar, and other places.

Currently, all viewership ratings must be collected manually.

There is a lot of room for maneuver.

The situation in mainland China is unique, as satellite television coverage extends across Asia and is therefore different.

This time, ATV launched three Chinese channels and two English channels, with adjustments to be made depending on viewership.

This alone will significantly increase the workload for ATV staff, as well as many behind-the-scenes and actors.

Not to mention the ATV's contracted artists who are eager to make their mark, even the stars and artists from TVB are looking forward to it.

ATV originally had only one Chinese channel and one English channel, but now it has two more Chinese channels and one more English channel. How many programs and dramas will it need to fill the gap?
Celebrities can get more work and naturally earn more!

The celebrities and artists on TVB are paying special attention to this.

It is well known that their salaries are relatively low compared to the rest of Hong Kong Island. Sometimes they even have trouble feeding themselves, let alone supporting their families.

That is to say, top celebrities are in a better situation, while the rest of the artists are struggling to make ends meet.

In fact, in normal times, if there were no other way, once a star or artist becomes famous, they would definitely switch to another station to pursue greater profits.

It would be hard to imagine in mainland China that Yi Lin, who played Lu Songxian in the Swordsman version, would actually retire from the entertainment industry and marry an ordinary elite white-collar worker.

If this were in mainland China, with the role of Yilin, she could easily live off her wealth for life, or at least become a financially independent and wealthy woman through various TV dramas and variety shows.

With ATV now broadcasting on satellite TV, TVB's stars and artists have more and better opportunities. How could they not value it?
When the television station's signal successfully connected with the satellite and covered the entire Asian region, the ATV building erupted in thunderous cheers.

Then, all five channels started broadcasting at the same time, giving guests a different experience each time.

It gives off a strong sense of a large television station; it looks different, high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated.

"If any of you are interested, you can visit the ATV building. I have already arranged a banquet at the Peninsula Hotel, and I hope you will make the trip there!"

Wu Feng chuckled and spoke, his mood indescribably cheerful.

Although there is still much to be done, the first step of the TV station going satellite has been successful, and the rest will be easier to handle.
