Siheyuan (courtyard house): My name is Shazhu!

On September 24th, Hong Kong stocks suffered a historic setback, and everyone understands what this setback signifies: the stock market began to decline.

With the stock market falling and people becoming restless, Dongda Group had no choice but to step in several times to persuade the people of Liecheng not to panic, saying that the sky hadn't fallen yet, and even if it did, they weren't tall enough to be anything special.

"I'll only say this once: I won't interfere with your choices. Respect other people's choices and don't mistake your ignorance for truth."

If you dare to affect the construction of Dongda Group, if you dare to spread rumors, I dare to exterminate your entire family. Try me if you dare!

In order to stabilize the financial environment here, prevent panic and flight, and significantly depress the Hong Kong dollar, our company has decided—

The US has invested over 50 billion US dollars to buy back Hong Kong dollars, with an exchange rate of 1:9.5. Meanwhile, our Dongda Group officially warns the public that the value of the Hong Kong dollar should be above 1:8.

A figure below this number is due to panic, not to the true value of the Hong Kong dollar.

Citizens should be cautious when exchanging currency!

Exchange locations: Bank of East Asia, Bank of Asia, Hang Seng Bank, and Bank of China Central branches.

Exchange conditions: bankbook or cash in any bank in Hong Kong, or other valid bank statement.

Exchange period: 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM tomorrow. If 50 billion is not enough, we will contribute 100 billion. We hope citizens will remain calm.

That concludes my statement. I hope everyone will think carefully before acting!

"Sir, do you mean it's better for us to go back, without any panic? Why?"

"Because of a lack of understanding, and false advertising or rumors. Is Niu Niu really that powerful? In four words: 'outwardly strong but inwardly weak'!"

There's another saying: "It's good to rest in the shade of a big tree!" Many people understand this in normal times, so why don't they understand it now?

I have invested over 80 billion US dollars in my hometown, and it is still my property. People may give other reasons.

Let me tell you again, there are at least several thousand merchants who came from here, and their factories are located on the other side. Why aren't they afraid?

To put it bluntly, we're richer than you and we're not afraid, so what are you afraid of? Why are you feeling guilty? Be a normal person!

Don't you know how much you'll lose by leaving the port city?

I hereby formally warn everyone, no matter who you are, do not incite anyone. I will not give you a chance to regret it.

"Does Sir Ho mean that he can't just leave on his own, but he can't drag others along without understanding the situation? Is that what he means?"

"Not entirely. If things are really better after they leave, as they say, then there's no problem. If not, then it's fine if they lose money."

I guarantee that if any of my family property is confiscated, I will make up for it. Do they dare?

"Should spreading rumors warrant the extermination of three generations of one's family?"

"Public opinion is a fearsome thing. Rumors can destroy a city, destroy my company. If they dare to destroy our company, why wouldn't I dare to exterminate their entire family?"

I'm not a petty person, nor am I a saint who can forgive everything, nor will I speak for others to forgive. I only know that if you dare to affect my company, I will make you pay double!

I don't care who he is!

Don't talk to me about laws and rules; those are made by the strong. I'm stronger than you, so you have to endure and suppress your feelings!

I have already disciplined those who break the rules three times, and twice I exterminated their entire families. I hope you will not be the ones to be educated for the fourth time!

To all of you, including myself! You still have fifteen years to work hard, and you will get what you deserve!

"Sir Ho, is your company prepared to use the US dollar to prop up the price during this panic because you believe the true value of the Hong Kong dollar shouldn't fall below 9:1?"

"Yes. Our company's think tank analyzed the situation for six months and determined three things. First, going back is a good thing; even if we don't have a real economy in the future, we still have a big tree to lean on!"

Secondly, the stock market should rise, not fall. The important geographical location of Hong Kong will not be replaced anywhere for at least twenty years, including the universally applicable Basic Law.

Thirdly, there's the panic and loss of population. We never imagined that the psychological defenses here would be so low. So many people even believe nonsense.

You're willing to leave even if you lose 20% of your money? Do you even know what 'One Country, Two Systems' means? My only assessment of you is 'utterly foolish'.

Go back and check; I guarantee no one will arrest you without reason! They're not rich, and they're also getting their bonds untied; Guangzhou isn't far!

A day trip back to your hometown costs only HK$300. Go back for a quick look before leaving. Why not go? Wouldn't it be your own fault for losing money that way?

Answer me!

"Sir He, will your company fully cover the losses?"

"At this meeting, I hope that Niu Niu Ren, as well as Niu Feng Bank and Niu Zha Bank, since you are the banks that issue Hong Kong dollars, will stop pretending to be dead!"

This time, no matter how many US dollars need to be exchanged, our company will cover it all. If the 200 billion US dollars prepared by the Eastern Bank of Hong Kong is insufficient, we will transfer more funds from the Eastern Bank of Malaysia.

"Sir, could you tell me how much your company's assets are in Hong Kong?"

"Sorry to disappoint you, but I have some news for you. In early June, we felt that Hong Kong City had too much cash flow, and we will raise wages early next year!"

At the same time, no less than HK$22 billion will be allocated for annual bonuses!

And those self-righteous people, don't think I'm meddling. It's just that you talk too much and think you're so great. Who do you think you are in front of me?

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, goodbye!

He Yuzhu's three bombshell announcements jolted everyone awake. Sir He had dismissed the panicked escape as a rumor and once again threatened to exterminate three clans!

This is no joke; it's already happened twice, and they don't want it to happen to them a third time.

Sir Ho really went too far, even considering appealing. He should just give up and go to sleep. Someone will take the blame. Oh, your three clans, think it over.

Our Sir Ho is furious. These rumors are going too far, affecting the local economy and the operation of the Dongda Group.

Let's be honest, this knife is going to be slashed on our own heads, and as for those who aren't afraid of death, I have nothing to do with them!

They are pleased that Dongda Group used 200 billion US dollars to support the exchange rate, guaranteeing a minimum of 9.5, which means there is no need to rush to exchange for Hong Kong dollars.

At least 9.5. They trust Dongda Group in this regard. Ten years ago, Dongda Group earned less than 100 billion NT dollars.

Their bank's investment department has been making money through investments, so it's not surprising that they'll earn another 100 billion US dollars in ten years!

Now the common people are reassured. With Dongda Group guaranteeing a minimum return of 9.5%, their family assets are also guaranteed. If they are confiscated, they will compensate them for everything.

Their promise comes from either news or because we don't understand the policy. Sir He's private jet goes back to his hometown many times!

Trusting the Dongda Group, five million of the 5.26 million people calmed down, reassured by the group's guarantee.

Some people are still preparing to leave. They have decided to go, but they are uncertain about the future and dare not take the risk.

However, I plan to ask other relatives and friends first, and I don't intend to incite others to join me.

Because they are not sure if their decision is right. They used to have some confidence, but now they don't. They don't know whether the place they are going to will be good or bad for their future life!

The employees of Dongda Group are the ones who are happy. They don't know how much the salary increase will be; they'll only find out when the salary increase happens!

However, the 22 billion yuan is distributed as an annual bonus, and this bonus is distributed equally among everyone, from the general manager to the ordinary employees—everyone receives the same amount.

One hundred thousand yuan!

Their employees calculated it very clearly: Dongda Group has a total of 220,000 employees in Gangcheng, and the company will round it up to a whole number!

Earn money in the port city, spend money in the port city!

They did it!
