Chapter 164 Liu Bei’s small test, Guo Jia follows suit and wins
Ever since his sister married the Ling Emperor, He Jin has become smooth and prosperous. He has become much more low-key because he recently angered his sister.
He was suddenly assassinated, and he was both angry and confused.
Liu Bei was different. He fought all the way, saw blood, and killed people, so he calmed down faster than the general.
This pack of gunpowder looks scary, but its lethality is not fatal. It seems more like a warning or a demonstration.
Moreover, from taking action to escaping, the assassin easily broke through several obstacles. If there was no prior arrangement, even a pig would not believe it.
In other words, there is at least one other accomplice, or the mastermind.
After thinking about it, Liu Bei did not show too much doubts and said with an apologetic look: "I raised the bond, and this is also my box, so that person definitely didn't come for you. I'm really sorry for disturbing you.
General!"
At this time, arrangements have been made for the general's bodyguards and the security of the trading floor. Please ask the general to return home as soon as possible.
As soon as there were more people, He Jin's mentality immediately improved, and he realized that gunpowder was not fatal, so he patted Liu Bei on the shoulder pretending to be cheerful.
"Why should we be afraid of mere thieves? However, the impact is too bad and we must bring them to justice to serve as a warning to others!"
Liu Bei followed the escort and said: "I obey the general's order! If the case cannot be solved in three days, I will resign as a thank you to the world!"
After leaving the box, there were already guards standing in the aisle. All the way down the stairs, the hall was also filled with sergeants holding swords and guns.
Liu Bei did not let He Jin go through the front door, but arranged for him to leave through the back door. Now, be careful to sail the Wannian Ship.
Nearly a hundred soldiers escorted the general away, and Liu Bei returned to his box again.
"Wenhe and Haosheng took care of the injured people and security guards, removed the soldiers from the lobby, issued a briefing, and continued to open the market."
Jia Xu asked hesitantly: "My lord, it will be safer to wait until the afternoon to reopen the market."
Now people are panicking. If trading is resumed immediately, it might collapse. Wouldn’t that be a slap in Liu Bei’s face?
"According to the emergency plan, do whatever you want. As long as you seek truth from facts, even if the people are confused for a while, they will understand it in the future."
Jia Xu could only follow the order and drafted a briefing note.
From the moment the explosion occurred until the soldiers were removed from guard, the individual guests in the hall and the VIPs in the VIP boxes were all extremely shocked.
Many people don’t know who is in the box? What are the casualties? Is it an accident or intentional? Who did it?
Therefore, after the martial law was lifted, most individual tourists and more than half of the VIP customers fled the hall and retreated outside the square.
When there are more people, they communicate and discuss with each other, and half-truths and half-false opinions become rampant.
"My God, it is said that seven or eight people died in the box, and dozens were killed and injured at the door..."
"Really? I didn't see anyone die?"
"Is there any lie? My old friend saw with his own eyes that many people were wrapped in white cloth and carried away from the back door..."
"Hey, do you think the trading floor will be closed this time?"
"If it's closed, what will happen to the bonds? It's all our hard-earned money!"
An experienced voice said: "It won't mean that we are closing down, but the selling price will drop, a big drop!"
"If it really doesn't work, go to the black market as soon as possible, just as little as possible, so as not to lose everything..."
Cheng Feng, a fat businessman from Jizhou, hid in the crowd and became more and more panicked as he listened.
He bought 5,000 taels with the intention of making some extra money. It would be very painful if he lost all of it.
I am discussing with two companions whether to go to the black market or exchange the bonds.
Suddenly I heard someone say: "Have you heard that the first-hand black market price dropped to 95 in the first phase, and the price in the second and third phases dropped even more!"
"Boom! Buzz buzz..."
In the crowd, everyone was talking about anything, and even various conspiracy theories were spread, and many people pointed the finger at Liu Bei, the initiator.
Jia Xu's briefing was confirmed by Liu Bei and posted on the notice board at the entrance of the trading hall.
The crowd immediately gathered around.
"Description of the incident: A suspect sneaked into the trading floor, set off two large fireworks bombs in the VIP box and the main entrance. Three people were slightly burned, and five were slightly injured by a stampede. The suspect absconded. The court has a three-day deadline to arrest the suspect involved.
In addition, from now on, the trading floor will resume normal operations, so everyone knows!"
At the same time, the trading window opened again, accepting customers to buy and sell bonds.
Although the exchange posted a briefing announcement, it was unable to reverse the bearish mentality of the market.
Many individual customers who are worried about losing money are crazy about shipping, and would rather quote a lower price.
Guo Jia did not leave the box, but calmly watched the price drop on the blackboards on both sides.
A large number of sell orders quickly fell below a hundred cents per hand, which further enhanced the panic, ninety-eight, ninety-seven, ninety-six...
Like a river bursting its banks, the selling price of bonds plummeted. After falling below 95 cents, it quickly approached 90 cents.
The black market is better informed and has been reduced to 85 coins in advance.
Inside and outside the trading hall, mourning was everywhere, and there were many people beating their chests and stamping their feet and crying loudly.
He Miao frowned.
No one expected that the situation was so bad. In just one hour, the bonds in hand lost 10% of their value.
He finally couldn't help it any longer and said to Guo Jia: "Let's take action, otherwise we will lose more..."
Kuai Liang didn't say anything, but it felt like what He Miao said was reasonable.
Guo Jia shook his head and rejected this impulsive proposal.
He felt that someone was about to take action and he had to hold on.
But at this moment, a big order of three million lots was placed at a price of eighty-five cents per lot.
The appearance of a huge number of large orders confirmed that large customers were not optimistic about it, and more people began to sell.
After receiving the news, Liu Bei and Guo Jia stood up almost at the same time and looked at the obvious price on the blackboard.
Guo Jia couldn't help but guess that this should be a big crocodile that subscribed internally. What a stupid thing to do!
Three million lots per order, you don’t want to sell it, right?
However, Liu Bei should not be able to sit still.
Guo Jia's judgment was very accurate. Uncle Liu sat back on the sofa again and said to the three senior accountants: "All orders under eighty-five cents will be taken in."
What the heck, there are high-quality assets of the imperial court as collateral, are these people stupid?
Isn’t it great to earn more than 25% a year?
As soon as Huitong Bank took action, Guo Jia immediately received the news and took a breath. He immediately said to the full-time trader: "Take the three million lot order."
The five major banks have credit guarantees, and large transactions will be settled after the market closes.
As a result, the momentum of the bond avalanche was contained.
After Yangzhou Bank placed a large order of three million yuan, Huitong took action again, sweeping sales orders of eighty-five or eighty-six yuan.
Not to be outdone, Yuan Ji cleared eighty-seven and eighty-eight pending orders.
Many people also realized at this time that the bonds were endorsed by the court and would be worth a steady one hundred and ten cents a year later. Now is the time to pick up bargains.
Buy the rise, sell the fall, rush the duck!
Hoo ho ho, the bond bucked the trend and rebounded, reaching 90 cents and still climbing.
The two main players, Huitong and Yangzhou, alternately swept the market and easily conquered the 95-wen mark. The momentum continued unabated, and those who followed the trend were Jing Cong.
Seeing Guo Jia, who was concentrating on her and in high spirits, He Miao, who originally wanted to get angry, froze on the sofa.
He didn't expect that the other party would make 30 million yuan in just one order with just a few words.
At this time, he vaguely remembered what the other party had said: The trading floor is a mountain of gold and silver, or a mountain of swords and a sea of fire.
In the Tianzi private room, Dong Cheng and Dong Wei's face turned black, and they felt so regretful that their intestines were gone.
That's right, they were the ones who placed the big three million orders.
In particular, the senior accountant of Liangzhou Bank strongly recommended careful consideration, but they insisted on going their own way.
However, in a short time, the bond soared to ninety-five cents, and probably to one hundred cents.
This means that they have just lost 45 million yuan, or 45,000 taels of silver.
Chapter completed!
