Chapter 241: Spiritual Idol

The two shouts at the door and in the trading hall were like two heavy bombs that shocked everyone present. Everyone looked up at the big screen in the trading hall as if they were possessed, and they saw that a red line suddenly appeared on the originally green display.

The green line represents a fall, and the red line represents an increase. This is the most basic common sense that all Nanjiang shareholders know.

It is precisely because this is the most basic common sense that everyone was suddenly dumbfounded, because they really couldn't believe this fact. It was clear that the stock market had been falling since the morning opening, and by noon all the stocks were about to stop falling. There was some hearsay that someone was manipulating the Nanjiang stock market, and it looked like it was going to plummet for a while, so everyone scrambled to get rid of the stocks they had.

The lobby manager of An Guo Securities Company came over to explain that it was just a technical correction, and that a fund company from Gangcheng would be coming to invest. Everyone just took it as a joke, and even Lao Yang believed that many people were laughing at him for being so naive.

But no one expected that before the laughter had died down, the stock market would undergo such a change. To them, this change was undoubtedly a slap in the face for everyone.

'How can the stock prices go up? This is impossible!'

Kong Yiji muttered, 'How can the stock price go up? This is impossible!' If this fact was a slap in the face, then Kong Yiji's face was already swollen like a pig's head because he was the one leading the mockery of Li Yang and Lao Yang, and he was the one who said the rumour that someone was manipulating the stock market and it would only go down, not up.

'No, this is a real technical correction. The stock market has plummeted, it can't possibly go up. This is just an exception, it will fall again soon!'

Kong Yiji shouted, and his words also gave the others a psychological comfort. Indeed, how could stocks possibly rise now? When the entire market is falling, the occasional appearance of a stock going against the current does not mean anything. And he has only risen a little. What if he can't withstand the pressure of the market and falls along with it?

At this time, Lao Yang raised his arms and shouted, 'The rise of stocks is not a coincidence but a certainty, because the current stock market crash is man-made. As long as there is any good news, the stock market will return to its original upward trend. This is just the beginning.'

'You're full of shit!' Kong Yiji shouted angrily, 'The stock market is going to fall, how can it possibly rise?'

Li Yang remained calm: 'Comrade Kong, if you don't believe us, just wait and see.'

'I'll say this for the last time, my last name is not Kong, it's Meng. If you dare to say it again, I'll rip your mouth off!' Kong Yiji yelled furiously at Li Yang, 'And I'll tell you, the stock market is going to crash. You can only fool simple-minded idiots like Lao Yang, but you can't fool anyone with any intelligence!'

'We'll just have to wait and see, Comrade Kong,' Li Yang said. Kong Yiji was about to lose his temper and jump up in the spot, but in the end he didn't have the courage to actually go up and hit Li Yang.

Everyone just waited in the trading hall, anxiously waiting for the stock market to develop further, whether it would rise or fall.

But as the minutes passed, the numbers on the big screen in the trading hall remained unchanged, which made everyone anxious. But there was nothing they could do about it. Even though the name had been changed to the stock exchange, due to some technical reasons, the information from the stock exchange could not be transmitted in real time, so there was a delay in the announcement of many pieces of information, especially when the trading volume surged, the announcement of information would be even slower.

'In the past, the numbers would change at most every two minutes, so why is it taking so long today?'

'Who knows! Haven't you heard that someone is manipulating the stock market? It's possible that Kong Yiji is right and someone is trading with a Hong Kong businessman, and the trading volume is so high that it's causing the information to be delayed for an extended period of time.'

People in the trading hall were talking about it, staring at the big screen, anxiously waiting for the next development.

Lao Yang looked up at Li Yang, who said to him, 'Comrade Lao Yang, don't worry, this is the judgment of my teacher, it can't be wrong.'

Lao Yang nodded firmly and said, 'I have 100% confidence in Advisor Zhou's judgment!'

'Buddha blesses, the stock market will continue to plummet today, there is no way it will rise.'

Kong Yiji was there, crossing his hands and mumbling to himself, regardless of whether the Buddha would really hear him and come from the Western Paradise to beat him up. However, Mr. Kong Yiji's behaviour clearly showed that his confidence was beginning to waver.

As the minutes passed, everyone understood that no matter how big the trading volume was today, the stock market information should be announced. Therefore, everyone looked up and stared at the big screen, not willing to relax for a moment, as if relaxing would cost them millions.

But at this moment, the passage of time seemed to have suddenly slowed down countless times. It was like a naughty child, deliberately stretching a minute that would normally pass quickly to a year, making people suffer doubly.

But no matter how long it takes, time will pass. Just as the time on the big screen reached 13:13, the numbers on it finally started to scroll.

'It's all red lines, Nanfang Development Bank, Ye'an Co., Jinke Co., Wantian Co. and Yuanda Co. are all in the red, they've all gone up, the Nanjiang stock market has gone up!'

People stared at the big screen and read out the changes word for word. Such changes were exciting and joyful, because these five stocks were the first to be listed on Nanjiang Stock Market and were also the most actively traded stocks every day. They had always been considered by investors as the barometer of the Nanjiang stock market. Now that these five stocks had collectively risen, it was enough to prove Li Yang's judgment without even looking at the other stocks.

Everyone also turned their attention to Lao Yang, because he had just followed Li Yang's advice and bought the stocks again. In other words, among all the people in the trading hall, he was the only one who had guessed the right direction and made money.

Either Lao Yang is really honest or he is really wise, because he seems to be stubborn, but in fact, he is the one who can follow the stock market the most closely!

All the stock investors are extremely envious of Lao Yang. At this time, the broadcast in the trading hall also sounded: 'Hello everyone, I am Zhou Ming, the development consultant of Nanjiang. Please don't worry. Nanjiang's securities market has always been in a very healthy state of development. The previous crash was just a technical correction to the securities economy. There was no stock market crash. Please trust the judgment of your respective securities account managers and don't blindly believe rumors.'

'There are risks in the stock market, so you need to be cautious when entering the market. In the future, the stock market will rise and fall. Please, fellow investors, establish correct values and never follow the crowd.'

As Zhou Ming finished his broadcast, Lao Yang suddenly bowed deeply in the direction of the broadcast and said, 'Thank you very much, Consultant Zhou, for creating the Nanjiang stock market for us. We will definitely speculate in stocks rationally, will not listen to any rumours or spread rumours, and will be a qualified stock investor, ensuring the healthy and normal development of the stock market!'

At this moment, Lao Yang was the focus of everyone in the trading hall, and what he did left everyone stunned.

These stock investors had all heard of the name Zhou Ming, and even some old investors had also experienced the stock market crash in the past and knew of Zhou Ming's contributions to the Nanjiang stock market, but now Lao Yang was here bowing to the broadcast to make a pledge, just like a devout believer, which still made everyone feel incredibly surprised, because in their opinion, it didn't seem like this was necessary.

At that moment, someone suddenly shouted, 'Adviser Zhou, don't worry, I will ensure the healthy and normal development of the Nanjiang stock market!'

When everyone turned around at this shout, they saw someone running quickly towards the counter. These stock investors suddenly understood, and one after another shouted, "I assure Adviser Zhou that I will ensure the healthy and normal development of the Nanjiang stock market! I will start with myself to ensure the health of the stock market!" Then they swarmed towards the counter.

Li Yang looked at all this in disbelief: 'Teacher, are you now the spiritual idol of all stock investors?'

Meanwhile, in the office upstairs, Zhou Ming looked at the surveillance in front of him and smiled helplessly, but Luo Han next to him did not think so.

'According to preliminary investigations, the funds flowing into the stock market this time amounted to tens of millions of dollars. Coupled with the impact of the rumours, it is reasonable for the stock market to plummet. But just as the stock market was about to collapse, and the stock exchange, which had been established with great difficulty, would also be affected, it was you, Consultant Zhou, who stepped forward and saved the Nanjiang stock market. It is only natural that all the shareholders regard you as a spiritual idol!' Luo Han said to Zhou Ming.

Zhou Ming was taken aback. He didn't expect even Luo Han to say that, and the following stock investors also have a herd mentality in it, but now even Luo Han said so, which made Zhou Ming a little embarrassed.

Zhou Ming thought for a moment and said, 'Well, Vice President Luo, now that these stock investors have re-entered the stock market, as long as there are no accidents, I believe the stock market will soon rise again. We don't need to keep an eye on it here all the time. A healthy stock market needs to have the ability to operate on its own. And on the other hand, the main reason the stock market was able to stop falling this time was also the credit of Hong Kong businessmen. Vice President Luo, you should thank them.'

Luo Han still shook his head: 'You can't say that, because these Hong Kong businessmen were also invited by you, Advisor Zhou. Otherwise, where would they have come up with tens of millions of dollars to help us save the market? I don't think even Secretary Chen Yunfei would have that kind of face.'

Chen Yunfei is at most the executive vice governor of Lingnan, and now Gangcheng is still a foreign colony. Interactions with Gangcheng are considered foreign affairs. It would be really bad for Chen Yunfei, the secretary of the Nanjiang Municipal Party Committee, to come directly and do it. In addition, Gangcheng now faces the country with a sense of superiority. To say that Chen Yunfei is not giving face, Chen Yunfei really can't do anything about them.

Zhou Ming waved his hand and said, 'Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Vice President Luo, since the stock market has stabilised and it's getting late, let's go to the Nanhu Hotel early.'

Luo Han stood up and nodded, 'Yes, Consultant Zhou, I would also like to thank these compatriots from Gangcheng in person.'
