Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

He Yuzhu and others were in the office watching the stock market. The stock market was down across the board at the end of December, but it was still rising. They were looking at the "hot stocks" in the market.

Aside from real estate stocks and financial stocks, the only exception is stocks with "Dongda" in their names. Hong Kong City is still following the old path, focusing on finance and real estate.

When Zhao Youcai saw He Yuzhu shaking his head, he just smiled and said, "This has a lot to do with the situation in Hong Kong. At the same time, they don't have the technology to do business."

In finance, we have precise timing; in real estate, we are the biggest landlords. This area has a population of over 4.5 million, yet we still lack housing.

It's not fair to say they made the wrong choice!

"I didn't say they made the wrong choice, I just feel sorry for the 'free port' because the vast majority of products are imported and exported without taxes."

The land will eventually be sold out, and in the financial world, they still have to be mindful of the US's position; they lack resilience against risk. Our shares will be sold starting in January.

Sell ​​more of the high-yield stocks; you don't need to hold 50.1% of the shares anymore. Even if you reduce it to 30%, other companies can't afford to buy it—they're all priced exorbitantly.

"This way we can harvest more profits from retail investors. By selling 20% ​​more shares, we can earn at least 60 billion more, which is equivalent to our net profit over seven and a half years."

I don't know if the market can withstand it, but I personally think it's between 60 and 80 billion. The total market capitalization of listed companies is currently 59 billion.

"Not necessarily. This time, it's not just individuals investing in stocks; it's mainly banks and large companies. Don't forget that our company lent out 11 billion."

Their company is listed and doesn't lack money, so why are they borrowing from us? Several of their companies are buying land in various places, and some of those aren't even real estate companies.

"It's hard to say how much. There are too many banks and money shops here, and the more money in the stock market, the better!"

"I really like Hutchison Whampoa Limited, owned by Qi Dezun. With 364 subsidiaries, they're incredibly good at expanding! They have companies in Australia, Russia, and Southeast Asia!"

"Without Hutchison, Superman wouldn't have been able to grow so quickly. Hutchison has over two hundred companies that we can use, and even after the merger, there will be no fewer than sixty."

"We'll buy it directly when it drops to two dollars, then take over 33% of Niufeng Bank's shares and complete the acquisition of Hutchison Whampoa."

Niufeng Bank's existence is no longer very meaningful!

"We still need to wait. 75 years from now, Niu Niu's plundering plan will be carried out by Niu Feng Bank!"

"They want to plunder, and so do I. Five to a billion Hong Kong dollars a year is nothing to worry about! Our bank is stronger than both New York Bank and New York Bank combined. Their right to print money..."

"All right."

In January, Zhao Youcai directed his underlings to sell Dongda Group shares on four stock exchanges, starting with a 2 billion yuan initial investment on the first day.

To Zhao Youcai's surprise, it had almost no impact on the stock market. Previously, a stock market accounted for only five or six hundred million yuan, but this time it was double that amount, meaning more money could be deposited in the stock market!

Zhao Youcai was still busy, so He Yuzhu took the time to accompany Masha, who had come to Hong Kong. She had nothing else to do, so she came over.

"Your stock market is a mess. There are four of them in such a small place. Is no one in charge? The daily trading volume is 5 billion. People in Hong Kong are so rich, they have more than five times more money than us."

"Who cares if people are just after money? Things will get regulated in a few years. Right now, everyone in Hong Kong is speculating in stocks, including banks and corporations!"

"You guys are crazy, coming with me to Temple Street for snacks, it's delicious."

If you like snacks, go for it, but shopping downstairs is tiring for He Yuzhu, as she has to accompany him and carry his bags.

She stayed there until she left Hong Kong on the 23rd.

On the 28th, Zhao Youcai came to the office and said, "Mr. He, the stocks are almost impossible to sell. They're only going to reach a maximum of 200 million a day, but we've sold 24 billion."

"That's about right. The stock market here is still too small. It will be different in the 1980s. You can sell slowly or dump shares aggressively, causing the stock market to crash and extricate us from the situation."

"There's no need for a sharp drop; just sell a little each day, and even if others follow suit, there won't be much money left to buy. It's a pity the market didn't go any higher than 1300 points."

The company's year-end bonuses were distributed the day before yesterday, consisting of two extra months' salary, to discourage employees from investing in stocks, as the stock market is currently unable to rise and may even fall.

I never imagined that over 90% of our company's employees were involved in stock trading. A major market crash would be disastrous, but thankfully their salaries are quite high.

"That's enough. Whether or not we withdraw from the stock market is their decision. We're getting ready for the New Year."

He Yuzhu called He Daqing again to ask if he had sold the stocks, and he replied that he had sold them all by the end of December.

He Daqing only had a little over 100 million shares, which he could sell quickly.

"Yushui, Huairu, have you sold all your stocks?"

"We sold it all a long time ago. We only put half of our money in the stock market for the second half of the year, and we sold it all last month. Brother, the stock market hasn't been doing well these past few days; it's been trading sideways and there are signs of a decline."

"You even know how to trade stocks, that's impressive."

"I have twelve years of experience in the stock market, a master's degree graduate, so stock trading is a piece of cake!"

"What does stock trading have to do with education? You should just get ready to get married and trade less stocks in the future!"

"Okay, we're planning to get married at the end of March."

"You set the time."

He Yushui's boyfriend was her college classmate. They were from the same city but different schools, both studying in Niuniu Capital. They were also from Gangcheng and had a hometown association in the capital.

The two had known each other for over a decade. They were young and hadn't spoken much. One was studying design and the other law, and neither paid much attention to the other.

The man's surname is Jian, and he comes from a very good family. He is the youngest son in his family. The two are the same age. They get together if they like each other, and separate if they don't.

In 1968, my father became the Chief Non-Official Member of the Executive Council, representing the Chinese community in colonial governance.

He now enjoys a good reputation in the port city and is known locally as a 'moderate and pragmatic reformer'.

Whether he's a "banana" (a person who is culturally Westernized) or not will be determined later; I don't have much of a memory of him yet, so further observation is needed.

With improved social status, the way people choose partners has changed; the concept of "marrying someone of equal social standing" may have some merit.

The only pity is that the man, Jian Zhiyuan, is only 1.69 meters tall with shoes on, ten centimeters shorter than He Yushui. His height is considered normal in the south.

He Yuzhu just felt that this was rare in his previous life!

I had a very good impression of Jian Zhiyuan; he was gentle and refined, with a scholarly air, but his Cantonese was difficult to understand.

Many times I couldn't understand what she was saying, so He Yushui would translate a few sentences for me. This girl has excellent spoken English!

He Yuzhu was never good at learning English in his previous life, and he never learned Cantonese in Hong Kong. With his current status, he doesn't need to learn it at all, and no one dares to let him speak Cantonese.

The happiest person about He Yushui getting a boyfriend is He Daqing. With his daughter getting married, he can finally rest easy and no longer worry about not being able to get married himself. He only has one young son left.

He has been living a good life these past few years. His restaurant business is thriving, and it's a very famous restaurant in the area, attracting many wealthy customers.

With the help of He Yuzhu, I've been making money in the stock market and now have a net worth of 200 million. I'm considered a super rich person in Hong Kong.

He had two wives, one older and one younger. The older wife was making money from the Dongda Garment Factory. The younger wife worked for He Daqing and also had a considerable amount of money.

This time, the two wives will make a lot of money in the stock market. The concubine has no children at home, so there has been no argument about the children's treatment.

Things are relatively peaceful at home!
