Chapter 239: This stock will really go up!

'Thank you very much for your support and cooperation. Only this time was it possible to seriously damage the Nanjiang stock market and show its true form. Here's a toast to you all!'

In the living room of a villa in the east district, Uncle Yong, a middle-aged man, happily raised his glass. The other bosses sitting around him all followed suit, and all their faces were beaming with smiles of boundless joy. They all echoed Uncle Yong's words, because of the collapse of the Nanjiang stock market today.

'Brother Yong, if we are to talk about today's achievements, it is better to say that we are grateful for your leadership than to say that you should thank us for our cooperation. It was you who led us down this path. If it weren't for you, how would we be sitting here in Nanjiang today? So it should be us who toast you, and I wonder what the other friends think?'

Someone took the lead and said so, and the others immediately followed suit, saying, 'Boss Wu is right. We were able to move the Nanjiang stock market today because Brother Yong took the lead. We were just doing our jobs.'

Some people also said, 'This is also the case with the nouveau riche on this side of Nanjiang. They think they can turn the world upside down just because they have been designated a special zone and have the support of the central government's policies. They think they are awesome at everything. This stock market is not something that just anyone can do!'

Some people even pointed the finger at Zhou Ming: 'That's right, before I came here I heard that the stock market here was something Zhou Ming had started. This Zhou Ming is supposed to be able to compete with the financial experts in the United States, but it seems that he's not much after all. We can easily make him fail by giving him a little trouble. He's much better at bragging than at managing the stock market.'

'That's right. The financial centre of the country can only be Binhai, and the best financial experts are also in Binhai. After all, we have a financial tradition since before the founding of the People's Republic of China. At that time, Nanjiang was just a poor county. In the past two years, with policy support, they have tried to steal Binhai's thunder. They don't even know their own weight in gold. Now, they have just revealed their true colours by picking any old excuse to attack us.'

As everyone chatted away at the table, Uncle Yong said, 'We've made a good start, but our attack on the Nanjiang stock market has only just begun. We must carry forward the spirit of the founding emperor, who was always ready to pursue the enemy even after victory, and continue to consistently short the Nanjiang stock market. We must not slacken our efforts, and we need everyone's continued cooperation.'

'Brother Yong, don't worry, we would have continued to do this even if you hadn't said anything. It's just a pity about the daily limit system in the Nanjiang stock market, otherwise we could have completely destroyed it in two or three days!'

A chubby boss spoke up, and the others laughed, 'But the Nanjiang stock market is just a choice between an immediate execution and a reprieve. With daily limits like this, in no more than a week we'll be able to squeeze every last drop of blood out of it, won't we?'

'Who says it isn't? Who says it isn't? Our Binhai is the only certified financial centre in the country. I'd say that Nanjiang is now a sheep. Its previous development was just the result of our letting it run free. Now that we feel the time is ripe, we can just grab the scissors and shear the wool!'

Facing the happy and harmonious atmosphere at the dinner table, Jiang Chunhua couldn't help but say, 'Dear uncles, I feel that letting us shear the wool is the last use value of Nanjiang. After all, our Binhai is the financial centre of the country, and no matter how Nanjiang develops, it is supporting us! No matter how capable or hardworking Zhou Ming is, the result is that he is making money for us!'

'Cheers to making money, let's squeeze every last bit of value out of Nanjiang!' Everyone raised their glasses and shouted.

Meanwhile, in the stock exchange building, it was already 8pm, and although the stock market had closed in the afternoon, the place was still brightly lit, with countless financial accountants working overtime.

In the corridor of the building, Luo Han, the first deputy general manager of the stock exchange, was walking hurriedly, holding a document in his hand.

Lohan walked all the way to the meeting room, which, like the rest of the building, was brightly lit. Three young men were waiting there. Lohan knocked on the door and said, 'Consultant Zhou, the stock market situation today has been calculated. All stocks have fallen to the floor, and the stock market has lost a total of more than 20 million. Here is the specific loss situation, please take a look.'

Zhou Mingsu Han and bodyguard ** were waiting here. Luo Han handed the document in his hand to Zhou Ming, who took it and opened it while asking, 'With such a big loss today, can the emotions of the investors be controlled?'

'It's difficult,' said Luo Han. 'Since the morning, some investors have been storming the counters, but fortunately we were prepared and the police arrived in time to control the situation.'

'This situation is normal. After all, such a huge loss was unexpected by everyone. No matter how much we publicise the high risks of the stock market, people will always enter the stock market with the intention of making money. No matter how much they have made before, they will not be able to accept a loss,' Zhou Ming said.

'People really have insatiable appetites! Everyone is thinking about making money in the stock market, but they don't want to think about where that money comes from,'

Luo Han muttered, then worriedly asked, 'Consultant Zhou, it seems that this time the situation is getting out of hand. It has fallen so badly on the first day. Do you think there is a problem on your side?'

Zhou Ming laughed and asked with a raised eyebrow, 'Why doesn't Luo always believe in me?'

Luo Han hurriedly shook his head and said, 'Consultant Zhou, I definitely didn't mean that. Of course I trust you, but this shock is too strong, and I'm worried that the helpers you've hired will back down...'

Before Luo Han could finish, Zhou Ming interrupted him, 'Don't worry, Mr. Luo, not to mention that it's only been one day and everything has dropped, even if it all dropped at the opening of the market today, I can still save it. As for backing down, don't say they won't go, even if they do, I can do it myself.'

'If you need anything from me, Advisor Zhou, just let me know!' Luo Han volunteered.

But Zhou Ming smiled and said to him, 'I don't need your cooperation. As I said, this is a financial confrontation. Luo, you are now the number one vice president of the stock exchange, so you just need to do your job well, and other people will naturally do the rest.'

'Those guys, if we don't teach them a lesson, they'll really think that the stock market is that simple,' Zhou Ming continued, 'and we can also use this opportunity to advertise our Anguo Securities Company.'

Luo Han let out a breath. Zhou Ming's words reassured him. I'm afraid that at this time, only Zhou Ming can remain so calm and confident.

...

Time's up. The next morning, Lao Yang arrived at the stock exchange early. Although it was only 8 o'clock, there were already quite a few people gathered in front of the stock exchange. They were all staring at the stock exchange's ticker with fixed eyes, unwilling to relax for a moment, as if they could turn the green numbers and lines red just by looking at them.

Lao Yang is an old stock market player in the Nanjiang stock market, so of course he understands the psychology of these people. They are just longing for a miracle in the stock market, or thinking about how they can sell their stocks as soon as possible today.

In fact, these thoughts are laughable, but they are the purest thoughts in the eyes of these people right now.

If I hadn't called An Guo Securities, I'm afraid I would be feeling the same way as these people right now.

Yang thought to himself as he walked habitually over to the newsstand. The owner greeted him warmly and handed him his newspaper.

After Yang had walked away, the owner asked him, 'So, Yang, you didn't buy any stocks yesterday, did you?'

'I didn't have time yesterday, but I definitely will today, because my account manager told me clearly that the stock market will definitely rise today...'

Before Yang could finish his sentence, the newsstand owner interrupted him, 'I said, Yang, how can you be so honest? I told you yesterday that An Guo Securities is unreliable. Their account managers just want to make a commission from your trades, they don't care about you. Look at all these people, they're all waiting to sell their stocks. Despite the experts' constant hype in the newspapers, I think they're just talking. I reckon this stock market crash is going to last a week or two.'

'No, I trust my account manager and I also trust An Guo Securities, they are the only certified broker on the stock exchange, they definitely won't lie to me!' Lao Yang said confidently.

The newsstand owner helplessly spread out his hands: 'Well, it seems I can't convince you, but I'm sure those people over there will thank you, because they are worried that they won't be able to sell their stocks.'

'Poor people, if they continue to hold the stocks, they can make a profit, but unfortunately they just sold them. It's more troublesome to buy them back,' Lao Yang said.

'Lao Yang, if we hadn't known each other for more than ten years, I would really think you were a three-year-old child,'

a voice came from the side. Kong Yiji came to Lao Yang's side and said to him, 'Lao Yang, I'm saying that you're an old man, and there should be a limit to how naive you can be. You can't go too far.'

As the saying goes, people with different views don't get along. Lao Yang ignored the newsstand owner and Kong Yiji. Time passed quickly, and soon it was time for the stock market to open. As the security guard opened the door to the stock exchange, the stock investors, who had been waiting at the door, rushed into the hall like crazy.

Seeing this situation, Kong Yiji said to Lao Yang, 'See, this is the situation. In my opinion, there will be another round of stock market crashes today.'

As soon as Kong Yiji finished speaking, a shout came from over there: 'Oh no, the stock market opened and the stocks have already fallen to the limit!'

Hearing this shout, Kong Yiji and Lao Yang immediately turned around and saw that the line on the big screen of the stock exchange was indeed continuing to fall. Kong Yiji gave Lao Yang a smug look, but Lao Yang was unmoved and insisted on entering the stock exchange to buy. Kong Yiji said, 'Lao Yang, I'm only persuading you because you're from the same village as me, so don't be so stubborn!'

Lao Yang also said, 'I'm only persuading you because you're from the same village as me, and this stock will really rise.'

This time, before Kong Yiji could say anything, someone next to him chimed in: 'This time, Lao Yang is right, this stock will really go up!'
