Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

Recently, a third-tier economic newspaper in Hong Kong, a newspaper known as the "King of Stubbornness," has been making headlines for its attention-seeking tactics.

In the small territory of Hong Kong, there were once four or five hundred newspapers. It can be said that the intensity of the competition was rare even in the world.

The fact that this third-tier economic newspaper was able to survive in such a place shows that it has its merits.

This newspaper is called Hong Kong Economic Journal, which is only one character different from Hong Kong Economic Journal, but it loves to contradict others. If you say the economy is good, I will say it is not; if you say the property market will rise, I will say it will soon fall; if you say a certain stock is good, I will say that the good news is bad news.

The economy is largely uncertain; some people interpret policies and follow them, yet still lose money.

Especially in the stock market, things can change in an instant. Zhang San once knew of a stock that experienced a dramatic reversal within three days: it went from limit down to limit up the next day, then from limit up to limit down the following day, and finally hit the limit down the third day.

It can be said that such operations have only occurred in mainland China. Other countries do not have price fluctuation limits; this is a unique feature only found in mainland China.

Who is this protecting? Of course, it's protecting the vast number of retail investors! But it's also extremely malicious towards them.

Western countries, on the other hand, have no price limits, so naturally, those who get exploited will suffer even more.

Under such circumstances, compared to retail investors, the A-shares market is actually a relatively safe place.

That said, the Hong Kong Economic Journal published an article saying that Hong Kong's economy will experience a short-term boom, but in the long run, it should be good; however, Hong Kong's real estate market already has a bubble, and everyone should be wary of real estate bubbles and stock market bubbles.

Writing it this way will definitely pique people's curiosity and get them to read it. Many people will read it to see if it matches what they want to know.

Many people in Hong Kong feel that with such a high economy and housing prices, the stock market must also be doing well. However, they believe that this article is wrong; it's just an article with a significant impact.

In Hong Kong, everyone's attention is focused on the real estate and stock markets. The expectation of rising property prices has swept through the city like a whirlwind. People are discussing it enthusiastically, as if they see an opportunity to increase their wealth. On the streets and alleys, people are talking about the trend of property prices, filled with anticipation for the future.

Investors are brimming with confidence, believing the stock market is poised for a surge. They closely monitor market dynamics, analyzing various data and news in hopes of seizing the best investment opportunities. Discussions about the stock market can be heard everywhere—in cafes, in offices. These people are merely tools and fodder for the stock market; as long as the gambling spirit exists, such individuals will never disappear.

Shortly afterward, the Hong Kong Economic Journal began serializing articles by an economic analyst named Mei Chun, all of which were negative, suggesting potential risks in housing prices and the stock market.

His analysis was the exact opposite of those who had positive expectations, which made them feel disgusted.

This person was arranged by Zhang San. If someone cries wolf every day, won't they become numb after a while? When a real crisis comes, won't they remember Mei Zhun's people and think, "Damn it, they're all liars"?

Many people may not know that, under normal circumstances, it's a good time to buy when all bonds are being downgraded, and it's a good time to buy when all bonds are being upgraded.

There must be a reason for this sudden situation. Those big players have so many chips in their hands, they must be trying to trick people into taking over.

Just as the stock market guru said, "Buy when others are panicking, sell when others are euphoric"; it's the same principle, and Zhang San wants to operate in this way.

The main message is to appeal to a rebellious mentality, letting these "leeks" (a term for young people who are easily exploited) know that they are still young and have a rebellious phase.

Soon after, the people of Hong Kong, always eager for good, gave this analyst named Mei Zhun a nickname: "Mei the Inaccurate." This peculiar title stemmed from the fact that his predictions or judgments had never been accurate. Citizens often humorously referred to him as "never accurate," because from the moment he appeared, the Hong Kong stock market would slowly rise and remain stable.

Giving nicknames is a favorite pastime of Hong Kong people.

People with long hair are called "long-haired," people who are extremely unlucky are called "sad XX" or "big sad," and people with mental problems are called "stupid XX." This is the local custom and culture. Even the last governor of Hong Kong was given the nickname "Fat Peng." You could say that this is ubiquitous.

Whenever "Mei Buzhun" expresses his opinion on something, the people around him might exchange a knowing smile and then shake their heads dismissively. They don't harbor any ill will towards him; they've simply grown accustomed to his unpredictable nature.

In the daily life of this city, people treat the opinions of "analyst Mei Jun" with a "laughable" attitude. They don't take it seriously, nor do they argue with him; they just laugh it off.

The existence of "Plum Blossom's Inaccuracy" became a minor episode in the lives of citizens, numbing them to their hearts, unless one day he said the stock market was good, then they might do the opposite.

"Haha... Master Mei, how insightful! Your perspective on the issue is so unique."

Mei Zhun, who was looking at the checks, naturally laughed when he heard the editor-in-chief's praise: "I'm just trying to make a living. I'm having a tough time. When I said prices would go up, nobody listened. Now I'm saying the opposite, and if anyone listens, is that my fault?"

He wouldn't say that one day, someone came to find him, and then the gears of his destiny began to turn.

I remember that day when I was almost starving, someone approached me and said, "Meisheng, I'm from a securities company, and I'd like to invite you to become our company's consultant."

He was very happy at the time and said, "Really? You're not kidding me, are you?"

The person who came in saw that his hair was messy, and his clothes were wrinkled and dirty, so they knew that this guy was in a very bad situation.

The things he posted were useless even to newspapers.

"Mr. Mei, here is five hundred Hong Kong dollars. Please freshen up and change your clothes. I will come to see you at this time tomorrow."

Mei Zhun was naturally very happy to receive the money, and he immediately expressed his gratitude profusely.

The next day, the two met in a coffee shop.

"Write an analysis report based on the topics we provide, using exaggerated and eye-catching writing styles as much as possible... We will arrange for someone to publish it in the newspaper."

Although Mei Chun didn't quite understand the theme of the first issue, which was to predict the downfall of the Hong Kong stock market, and he kept predicting the downfall until the company came up with a new theme.

But for money, who knows what kind of morals they might throw to the wind?
