Hong Kong, 10 AM, the stock market opened on time. The Hang Seng Index plummeted at the opening, influenced by the panic selling in the New York Stock Market.
Although Nie Zhan had sold his stocks short, Lu Jiaxin shorted the Hang Seng Index, so he also closely monitored the stock market. Ten minutes after the opening, he received a call from his manager, and his feelings were mixed upon hearing what the other party said.
Due to the New York Stock Market's crash, the Hang Seng Index dropped by 120 points right at the opening, an unprecedented event. For Jiaxin, it was good news, but for Wan Sheng Bank, it was extremely dangerous. They hadn't followed his advice to retract their funds in time, and this stock market disaster was sure to be historic, causing many bad debts and posing a significant challenge to the bank.
