"The stock exchange reopened after being closed for a month, and the Hang Seng Index plummeted 3,100 points that day..."
Xu Huaijing read the newspaper with trembling hands, his heart was in panic, and he was completely distracted.
"Hey, Lao Xu, what's wrong with you?" A colleague patted him on the shoulder.
Xu Huaijing was startled, "No, it's okay, I have to leave beforehand."
After saying that, he hurriedly escaped from the office before getting off work and ran towards the outside of the building.
"It's over, it's over." Xu Huaijing ran and muttered something with trembling lips, "Don't let anything happen..."
Before he could reach the parking lot, he suddenly noticed that several people were running into the parking lot in a panic like him.
He is very familiar with these people. They are all colleagues in government departments. He has interacted with them on a regular basis, but he has no personal connections.
Besides being government officials, they have one thing in common.
They both purchased stock in the Knights of St. George Company.
At first, this stock was recommended by Xu Huaijing's boss Ma Zhuoxian. He was Ma Zhuoxian's direct confidant and had handled many gray matters for Ma Zhuoxian.
Originally, he was not very interested in stock trading, but Ma Zhuoxian revealed to him that everyone was very optimistic about this stock and it would definitely rise after buying it.
Moreover, this matter is the intention of the higher-ups, which is to give them some benefits, so don’t be disrespectful.
After he took a trip to the St. George Knight Company, he learned a lot of inside information and was shocked.
Not only was his boss Ma Zhuoxian, he also saw other people in the company, either high-ranking officials in the government, or justices of the Legislative Council and courts.
These people were all shareholders of the company, and Xu Huaijing was a little moved. If such powerful people joined, the stock would definitely rise.
It's a pity that Xu Huaijing didn't have much money, so he scraped here and there to get his share of the subscription.
Some people even borrow money from banks or even loan sharks to buy stocks. If everyone didn't have a subscription limit, they would be ready to sell their houses.
It would be a pity to miss such a good opportunity.
Everyone is waiting for a stud game to win a big one.
Then there is no more.
A terrorist attack broke out at the Asia-Pacific Communications Center. The company's major shareholder lit up fireworks, and everyone on Hong Kong Island saw it.
The biggest boss behind the scenes, the special commissioner, escaped on an aircraft carrier and sank to the bottom of the sea along with 40 billion US dollars and 100 tons of gold.
Xu Huaijing's boss Ma Zhuoxian also died in the terrorist attack, which was a serious blow to his career.
The most terrible thing is that when those international mercenaries destroyed the vault of HSBC Bank, they smashed the underground computer room of the Asia Pacific Communications Center to pieces.
The computer servers of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange were placed in the underground computer room, causing the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to suspend...
Then came the theft of Hong Kong Island's foreign exchange reserves and the exchange rate crisis. Wave after wave of blows caused a sharp decline in Hong Kong Island's confidence.
Xu Huaijing, who began to care about stock trading, found that financial experts from all walks of life began to sing bad words. They all believed that after the sustainability of the economy had been exhausted in the past two years, the investment environment on Hong Kong Island had deteriorated.
At the same time, facing the timing of the return, investors are waiting and watching, the prospects for economic development are unclear, and the stock market has insufficient confidence.
Sure enough, at the beginning of today, the Hang Seng Index was red and bleeding, and the market plummeted by 3,000 points.
As for St. George, which just went public today, it fell below the issue price within half an hour of opening.
At the close of trading, the share price of St. George Investment Company, which had an issue price of six and a half yuan, fell to 15 cents, and the trading volume was very small, which was terrible.
Xu Huaijing went crazy at that time. He borrowed more than 10 million and invested it, but it was gone in the blink of an eye.
When he rushed to the address of St. George Knight Investment Company, it was already crowded with people.
A large group of people angrily opened the door of the company and rushed in.
"Liar company, return my hard-earned money!"
"You are fraudsters! I will sue you!"
"Money, my money!"
The employees of the investment company were also very panicked and shouted that they were wronged.
"Everyone, calm down or I'll call the police!"
A ghost suddenly grabbed the company manager by the collar, raised his fist and hit him, "Son of a bitch, you said you would definitely make money, where is the money?!"
"Let go! I'm just a part-time worker!" the manager begged, "I haven't received my salary this month yet, and the boss can't be contacted!"
"Where is my money?!" Xu Huaijing shouted angrily, "I will refund the money immediately, and I will also give you the profits promised to us!"
The manager almost collapsed, "Dear bosses, the stock market is like this, how can there be any profit?"
"There are no leeks, how can I cut them?"
Xu Huaijing said crazily, "I don't care about this, I must give you money!"
"RNM, refund the money!" Shapi jumped up from behind the crowd, waved his fist and shouted, "If you don't refund the money, we will destroy this place."
"Yes, refund the money!"
“Refund your money quickly!”
"Everyone, calm down! Don't get excited, violence can't solve any problems!"
The company hall was noisy, everyone kept talking.
Seeing that the atmosphere was not warm enough, Shapi directly kicked the person next to him, "Abu, why are you being lazy and shouting after me!"
Abu immediately jumped on the table, furious, and shouted, "RNM, refund the money!"
"RNM, refund the money!" Shapi shouted, "Smash this place."
After saying that, Shapi picked up the chair and threw it at the glass.
The people present were very excited. In the excitement of the crowd, someone took the lead and immediately took action and started smashing things in anger.
"Everyone listen to me!" Someone suddenly shouted, "The investment company still has a deposit of US$500 million in HSBC. How can they have no money!"
At this time, the hot-headed people began to calm down, right!
At that time, the investment company placed $500 million in cash in the HSBC vault, and they also invited everyone who bought stocks to visit the vault.
Five hundred million dollars!
Converted to Hong Kong dollars, that’s 3.9 billion!
Everyone immediately grabbed the manager of the investment company and led him towards HSBC Bank.
HSBC directly rejected their request. Are you kidding me?
The money belongs to the Knights of St. George company. Without the signature of the company owner, how could HSBC let people take the money away?
But the problem is that the company boss was killed in an attack on the Asia-Pacific Communications Center.
The boss behind the scenes is still feeding the fish in the undersea lounge at the moment. The person present is a professional manager. He has no right to propose this 500 million US dollars.
As soon as they heard that they couldn't get the money, everyone present became anxious.
Most of them borrowed money to buy stocks, and some even borrowed money from loan sharks.
Those who can come directly to ask for money are low-level officials who can't wait. The interest on borrowing money alone costs a lot of money every month, and they really can't bear it.
So with the help of several enthusiastic atmosphere groups, everyone rioted again, and HSBC Bank was almost burned down.
