Chapter 2344
Can't Sneeze
The reason Mr. HUO called Lou Xiao'e was simple: there were some things that they had discussed and agreed upon.
The Hong Kong stock and property markets have seen a frenzied surge, and these top businessmen had already sensed something was amiss.
They also agreed on a time when to burst this bubble feast.
How so?
The trend is irreversible.
When the market is rising overall, and when everyone is thinking about getting rich quick.
A few individuals have stepped forward and said that this price increase is unreasonable, and then they go on and on about a whole host of reasons.
That person wouldn't gain everyone's admiration, but would most likely be humanely destroyed.
Because the group that is thinking about for this grand event is no longer just the citizens of Hong Kong Island, but also the various capital forces involved.
Even someone like Mr. Huo would at most scale back operations to increase his cash flow and observe market changes.
Then, after the market crashes, choose a bottom, but it definitely can't be the lowest price, that would be too ugly to be greedy.
Finally, some people, under the guise of saving the market, rushed in and reaped both fame and fortune.
Most capital operates on the same principles, without distinction between good and evil.
Because that's how the market works.
Lou Xiao'e and her group had all planned this out; they wanted to watch the bubble grow bigger and bigger, and then wait for the day it burst.
They even sorted out the meat in the market.
These are some of the hottest companies on the Hong Kong stock market recently, and some of the companies with the most abnormal stock price increases.
When that time comes, it will definitely be the most devastating collapse, like a mountain collapsing, rolling down and covering everything.
It could even wipe out these companies' net assets.
Then, it will be the opportunity for people like Lou Xiao'e to make a quick buck.
Take that company, Jianing Real Estate, for example. Although they've made some grand claims, their assets aren't just for show.
This is not yet the era of the virtual economy bubble of later generations. At least, the properties under the name of Jianing Real Estate Company are all real.
In other words, there's a bottom line.
Therefore, assessing the true value of assets and figuring out when to buy at the bottom is what Lou Xiao'e and her team are doing now.
Moreover, according to Lou Xiao'e and her group's plan, the higher they push up the stock prices of those companies, the more irrationally they will plummet into the abyss when they fall later.
The only person who probably doesn't know about this is Guo Shumiao.
Only that foolish woman was pushed out by Lou Xiao'e's people and spent her days in the market singing praises of declining prices, drawing ridicule from everyone.
This is not Lou Xiao'e trying to frame Guo Shumiao.
It's not that there's nothing they can do; everyone in the market knows that these companies are rich.
Having money but standing on the sidelines watching the show is somewhat contrary to human nature.
Just like the last gold price crash, when it was over $200 per ounce, there was actually very little movement in the market.
It wasn't until the price doubled and reached over 500 yuan per ounce that various media outlets started reporting on it every day.
The price increased from 500 to 800, and the scale of the publicity also grew larger and larger.
Later on, the middle-aged women buying vegetables at the market no longer discussed whether the prices were high or low.
The question is, when will gold reach a thousand?
The last bull market boasted that gold could reach $1000 per ounce.
Here's an interesting point: going from 500 to 1000 is a doubling. Going from 800 to 1000 is a 25% increase.
Invest one million and you'll only earn six or seven hundred thousand, because there are various high handling fees.
If you buy in for 800, after deducting all the transaction fees, you won't actually make much money.
But if it drops back to around 200 per ounce, then the million invested might only become 320, and you'd still have to pay transaction fees.
That's how ordinary people lose their money. They can only make a small profit, but losing money can mean losing everything.
A saying from later generations is very true, and it has been repeatedly proven true.
When a market touts that you can only make money and that even a fool can enter and make money, then you who see the news are most likely the fool chosen by certain capital.
Therefore, people like Lou Xiao'e need to find a reason for not entering this market.
Guo Shumiao is the most suitable.
Only if Guo Shumiao keeps spreading the idea that the market will fall will those outside investors misjudge Lou Xiao'e and her group.
What was misjudged?
Lou Xiao'e and the others didn't go in because they saw through those people's tricks.
But there is another possibility: that he mistakenly believed Guo Shumiao and missed the opportunity to get on the bus.
The two judgments will yield very different results.
Lou Xiao'e did not tell Mr. Huo about He Yuzhu's phone call to her.
He Yuzhu told her on the phone that he would temporarily take over as the leader of Hong Kong Island in April and would go to 49 City to test the future of Hong Kong Island.
This time, it will probably end up with a very bad result.
In June, John Bull will meet with us for the first time, and by then, the market will probably be over.
From April to July or August, speculative capital in Hong Kong's property and stock markets typically withdraws.
When those things are withdrawn, that's when the bubble will burst.
This is actually similar to the analysis of Lou Xiao'e and others.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e did not want to expose He Yuzhu to the public.
Too much fame is not a good thing for He Yuzhu.
If certain capital entities were to set their sights on him, He Yuzhu's riddled past would make him vulnerable to attack at any moment.
The mainland has now opened up, and the veil of mystery has been lifted.
In the future, the media in those reformed cities will inevitably be combined with certain capital, just like in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Lou Xiao'e believes that what He Yuzhu needs to do now is to stay low-key and keep a low profile.
This seems different from what Lou Xiao'e had expected. After all, she still wanted to get a definite answer from He Yuzhu about the appreciation of the Japanese dollar.
But these two are not contradictory.
She just wanted to keep the focus of outsiders' attention from He Yuzhu.
That doesn't mean she'd let He Yuzhu pretend to be stupid.
If you have any good news about making money, you can secretly tell her.
At worst, she could fly over and sleep with him as a reward.
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e blushed and spat lightly.
She pinched her little belly and couldn't help but sigh softly.
It's sad to see your youth fade and gain weight.
However, she forgets these little emotions as soon as they come to her mind.
Whether she's good or bad, she still gave birth to three children for He Yuzhu. Whether He Yuzhu wants them or not, that's just how she is.
I definitely can't lose weight, and I can't regain my youth.
Lou Xiao'e will resolutely suppress He Yuzhu's desire for young and beautiful girls.
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e clenched her fist.
She never imagined that He Yuzhu had never mentioned wanting a young woman to her from beginning to end.
It was all her own imagination, and now she's trying to pin the blame on He Yuzhu.
"Achoo... oh my god!" He Yuzhu rubbed his nose, completely lacking in manners. (End of Chapter)
