After such a wonderful and heated debate, it was difficult to arouse everyone's interest in the rest of the banquet.
Huang Chengju, who gambled 100 million, regained his energy and once again promoted bonds on the banquet podium, but it lacked the previous passion and seemed a bit scripted.
However, at this time, the guests attending the banquet were no longer thinking about the bonds, they were all discussing the bet just now.
After the banquet dispersed, the news quickly spread throughout Hong Kong Island.
The paparazzi and reporters squatting outside the hotel were so regretful that they missed such breaking news.
If they had known this earlier, they should have sneaked into the venue so that they could witness the discovery and get first-hand information instead of listening to second-hand news relayed by others.
So reporters from various media outlets took advantage of their strengths and began to directly compile news based on various sources.
"Shocked! A rich man spends a lot of money just for fighting spirit"
"Three sentences made the richest man's son spend 100 million for me"
"The mantis acts as a chariot, the bet between 10 million and 100 million"
"The son of the richest man and the mysterious man choke each other!"
The next day, the major media and newspapers were full of news about the banquet.
After the embellished descriptions by various editors and reporters, the confrontation at the banquet seemed to be the peak showdown between two economics masters.
The dialogue between Huang Chengju and Qin Yi was written as a decisive battle at the top of the Forbidden City.
For a time, public opinion was uproar.
Some media reporters even went to interview the richest man in Hong Kong, Huang Jiatai, chairman of Changhe Group, and asked him what he thought about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Huang Jiatai smiled slightly and said domineeringly, "Young people don't have enough courage to do things. If I were here, I would directly bet 100 million US dollars!"
After Mr. Huang’s words, they immediately made the headlines of major media.
The banquet debate is fermenting again, and the entire streets of Hong Kong are talking about this matter.
Then the bonds with a yield as high as 15% became a household name. Whether they were having morning tea or taking a taxi, people were talking about those bonds everywhere.
Qin Yi couldn't help but sigh. "Ginger is still spicy when old."
I remember when Boss Lei made a bet with Ms. Dong that if he opened his mouth, he would get 1 billion. All kinds of news became hot topics for a while, and everyone was excited to eat it.
But in the end, have you cashed in your bet?
No one knew except the person involved, and both of them looked at each other and smiled.
Are the two of them fighting?
This was clearly a coordinated effort, a wave of advertising, and the media gave them free publicity.
The richest man Huang said a word and didn't pay a penny. As a result, all the media in Hong Kong helped him promote the bond.
This is a classic example worthy of inclusion in business textbooks.
It's a pity that the richest man Huang didn't expect that in the brothel outside the Qingshan Tower outside the mountain, there is someone behind the capable person.
This will be the most expensive advertisement he has ever done in his life.
Starting from the next day, public opinion began to gradually change.
Qin Yi's identity was also revealed. He joined the police force at the age of eighteen, was promoted to sergeant after graduation, and is about to become a trainee inspector at the age of nineteen.
One level a year, promotion like this is like a rocket.
The media and tabloids began to secretly speculate on Qin Yi's identity, and for a while they had all kinds of theories.
Some say Qin Yi is the illegitimate son of a certain police boss, while others say Qin Yi rose to power through bribery.
Otherwise, how could an ordinary police officer casually take out 10 million?
Then there was the matter of Qin Yi being admitted to the University of Hong Kong, which stirred up a thousand waves with one stone.
A young police officer could actually get into the University of Hong Kong, which sounds very ridiculous to ordinary people.
If you had the ability to learn, what kind of police would you be?
If there is a shady story, there must be a shady story!
Various rumors about Qin Yi are rampant.
Media reporters and tabloid paparazzi were like sharks smelling blood, searching for all kinds of news about Qin Yi.
Qin Yi's relatives and friends were harassed in various ways, and Lu Guohua simply hid in the police dormitory and refused to go home.
Journalists with great savvy even went to Wong Chuk Hang Police School to squat near the police school, and some even tried to sneak into the police school to take secret photos.
The instructors can catch three paparazzi a day, which is really annoying.
Principal Ye couldn't stand this situation and called Qin Yi into the office.
"Ayi, why do you think you need to be so quick?" Ye Jinfeng pinched the bridge of his nose in pain.
"Principal Ye, no one wants this to happen." Qin Yi was also helpless, "Young Master Huang stepped on my face, of course I have to fight him back, not to mention the fact that they are selling bonds is a lie.
Things are being promoted to my Master Qi. How can I bear this tone?"
"Let me advise you, young people should not be too arrogant." Ye Jinfeng sighed, "Now that the paparazzi are staring at you, you should leave school quickly. I will grant you a month's leave."
"What about my training?" Qin Yi asked tentatively.
"What a waste of training." Ye Jinfeng said angrily, "I'll give you an extension. You can wait until the next batch graduates."
"Thank you, Principal Ye!" Qin Yi showed a simple and honest smile.
"You disappearing right in front of my eyes is the best thank you to me!" Ye Jinfeng waved his hand to chase them away, "Hide immediately after you go out, don't accept interviews, and don't talk nonsense. The public relations department will take care of the matter of public opinion."< /p>
"Thank you, sir!"
Qin Yi immediately packed up and ran away without even daring to leave the door.
In the afternoon, the police force held a press conference directly to explain Qin Yi's promotion.
The spokesperson of the Public Relations Department is an expert and did not talk about Qin Yi's resume in a mechanical and scripted manner.
Instead, we start from Qin Yi’s life experience. He lost his mother when he was young and lived in a public housing estate with his father.
This is all true and well-documented, and the spokesperson directly gave the reporter the address.
Anyway, Qin Yi no longer lives there.
And Qin Yi can be said to be a very inspirational model. He has excellent grades since he was a child, and he is excellent in all his homework. According to the normal track, he can easily get a scholarship and enter university.
As a result, something unexpected happened and he had to drop out of school and join the police force.
An undercover agent entered the bandit group and cracked a series of big guns. Qin Yi's story could even be written into a legend.
When the spokesperson presented a series of dazzling achievements, reporters were stunned and even suspected that the police force was deliberately making things up in order to eliminate the influence of public opinion.
But where is the police force? Of course they will provide some evidence.
The reporters were extremely excited after getting the first-hand information. The news is getting more and more exciting.
An unidentified young boy turned out to be the rising star of the police force.
The University of Hong Kong even came forward to provide an explanation. President Cao gave an impassioned speech to media reporter Kang Ge at the press conference, expressing his indignation at the distortion and rumor-mongering by some news media.
At the same time, Principal Cao also showed the Qin Yi test report card, which was nearly full score.
In order to increase his persuasiveness, he also showed Qin Yi's test papers to reporters.
The handwriting is neat, the paper is clean and tidy, the answers are clear and concise, and even the ideas for solving the questions are different. They are not similar to the standard answers on the test paper. There is no possibility of cheating at all.
Qin Yi's background information is getting cleaner and cleaner, and the image of a person with a miserable life experience, studying hard, and working hard has been created.
The headline on the front page became "The feud between the new wealthy businessman and the rising star of the police force"
But the driving force behind the scenes was unwilling to give up. He found that there was nothing wrong with Qin Yi himself and immediately changed his mind.
Major economists on Hong Kong Island have jumped out one after another, either appearing frequently in major TV programs or writing lengthy articles in newspapers.
From all schools and angles, everyone has only one core idea, which is to refute Qin Yi's words at the banquet.
"It's ridiculous, it's complete nonsense. Economics is a very profound subject. I have studied it for decades and I can't say that I understand it, but a little police officer dares to talk nonsense!"
"In the long term, the economic situation is stable and improving. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the possibility of a worldwide war are extremely slim. This has brought good opportunities for peaceful development to the whole world. How can there be an economic crisis?"
"The country has a good economic foundation and is closely connected with the European market. This is an excellent opportunity for economic take-off!"
"The police just crack down the case honestly, bring down the crime rate in Hong Kong Island, and point fingers at the economy. It's completely clown-like and ridiculous."
"..."
I pressed the switch of the remote control with one hand and turned off the sound of the TV, thus blocking out the noise from all walks of life.
Jian Aowei looked at his boss, "Boss, why don't you go to the United States to stay for a few days to relax?"
"Relaxing?" Qin Yi suddenly laughed, "Why should I relax? I'm in a very good mood now. I will soon have 100 million US dollars in my pocket. Is there anything happier than picking up money?" "..." Jian Aowei looked at his boss speechlessly, "Boss, are you really not optimistic about the pound?"
"Nonsense, otherwise I would have nothing to bet with the Huang family." Qin Yi rubbed his hands excitedly, "I didn't expect there was an unexpected gain."
"By the way, how are the fund's preparations going?"
Jian Aowei came to his senses and immediately replied: "It's been done. It's estimated that they will start in two or three months."
"Very good, keep an eye on it and report to me anytime if you have anything."
"Boss, do these public opinions... need to be dealt with?" Jian Aowei hesitated and asked tentatively.
"Okay, let the experts from Harvard University come forward, otherwise the consulting fees and research fees will be wasted." Qin Yi showed an expectant expression, "I really want to see the experts from Hong Kong debate with the experts from Harvard."
"In addition, our foundation must also come out to create momentum and increase the stakes. Don't let the money you pick up for free go to waste."
"This..." Jian Aowei frowned, "Will the Huang family pay attention to our calls from a distance? What if he doesn't follow?"
"This is a credit issue. Let's increase the stakes. If he doesn't pay for the bond, it will be completely ruined. Even if he borrows money, he will pay for it." Qin Yi laughed confidently.
Jian Aowei nodded, and suddenly he looked at the boss hesitantly, "Then we won in the end, how can we ask for money from the Huang family?"
"Of course I want it directly, you send a lawyer's letter!" Qin Yi said confidently, "If he doesn't give it, I will personally bring someone to ask for it."
"Tmd, there are still people in Hong Kong who dare to owe me money." Qin Yi said fiercely, "I am really impatient to live."
"Okay, boss, I'll do it." Jian Aowei nodded and agreed.
Jian Aowei's work efficiency is very high. Encouraged by money, the Harvard University team stepped forward and dealt with Hong Kong experts like crazy.
In terms of qualifications and academics, the Harvard team is crushed. The Hong Kong expert's three-legged cat kung fu can't compare to the professional players. He was so criticized that he couldn't reply, so he simply disappeared.
For a time, the incident that stirred up a storm of public opinion suddenly became surprisingly quiet.
It seemed that overnight all the media no longer cared, as if this incident had never happened.
This makes the people of Hong Kong feel particularly strange. Is the news media collectively suffering from amnesia? Or have we traveled through time?
Just two days after the calm, a bombshell stirred up public opinion again.
An American private equity fund publicly jumped out and shouted to the richest man Huang, "The bet of 10 million Hong Kong dollars and 100 million U.S. dollars is too unbalanced. Why don't we also participate and bet 100 million U.S. dollars on the depreciation of the pound."
Huang Jiatai was silent for a day and then directly said harsh words, "One billion dollars and I."
