Chapter 258: The dead friend is not dead, the poor Taoist is not dead

This shout was like a bombshell. His unparalleled impact immediately shocked everyone in the trading hall. The trading hall, which had been noisy and clamorous just now, suddenly quieted down one after the other. These people, in particular, were gathered around Lao Yang. They had just been cynically mocking Lao Yang's judgment one after the other, but when they heard the news, they were all stunned.

Is it true that there has been an error in the internal accounts of the Nanjiang Development Bank, and that tens of millions of yuan may be lost as a result? How could this be?

Most of the people here are old stock investors, and of course they all understand what this piece of news means. Even if there are some new investors who don't understand, they will all go and ask the old investors next to them. In the stock market, such an adverse piece of news will undoubtedly have a direct effect on the stock market, leading to a crash in the Nanjiang Development stock market. If there are already problems in the Nanjiang stock market itself, then it will be an avalanche-style plummet.

At this time, Lao Yang also let out a cold breath. Although he understood that he should not be thinking like this, he was still very excited. Even thinking about the doubt and ridicule he had just faced from almost everyone, he almost wanted to cry.

Of course, he didn't feel aggrieved, he was just feeling aggrieved for Zhou Ming. After all, he had listened to Zhou Ming's words to help all the shareholders, so that they could avoid the losses caused by future stock market fluctuations, but when he came to tell them himself, not only were they not grateful, but they were also here one after the other, scoffing and sneering. How could this not make Lao Yang feel heartbroken?

However, in the face of these questioning investors, Lao Yang came to understand just how great Zhou Ming was. Because this was just some sarcasm, and he felt aggrieved, almost like crying. So what about Zhou Ming? I'm afraid he has to endure even more misunderstandings and doubts. And this is what he knows. So where is the part that he doesn't know? How many storms has Zhou Ming helped the Nanjiang stock market weather?

Lao Yang thought so, then looked up at the office on the second floor, his eyes full of respect for Zhou Ming.

Then Lao Yang walked over to a seat in the hall. The people in front of him separated to make way for him one after the other, and the people who were originally in the seats also volunteered to give up their seats.

These were all subconscious reactions from everyone, and the reason was his accurate predictions of the stock market. It can be said that the previous second, Lao Yang still insisted on telling them that the stock market would fall, and the next second, this news came. How could everyone not be shocked and full of awe for him? Of course, not everyone was willing to accept this reality. There were always people who felt that they couldn't lose face and had to be stubborn.

'Who knows if this news is true or not? Even if it is true, what does it mean? At most, it's just one stock, Nanfang Development Bank, that has fallen. The entire market is not just one stock, Nanfang Development. As long as the overall situation is good, isn't that great?' someone said stubbornly.

Lao Yang just laughed at this. Leaning back in his chair, he asked, 'Is that really how you feel? If that's really how you feel, then please sit down and let's wait and see how the stock market will react to this news.'

Faced with Lao Yang's words, the man hesitated, and not only him, but also everyone else. Lao Yang looked at the situation and decided to fan the flames a little more.

Lao Yang casually patted the seat next to him and said, 'Don't be shy, sit down and wait. Don't worry, I've long expected this to happen in the stock market. I haven't bought any stocks, so I'm not worried. I'm sure you don't need to worry either, because you all believe that the stock market will not fall. You all think I'm full of shit, right?'

Yang's words sounded like the starting gun. As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately turned and walked towards the counter without saying a word.

Once the first person did it, it was impossible to stop, and soon others followed suit, leaving behind them the words, 'I just remembered that I bought shares in Nanfang Development, I need to sell them quickly, otherwise if I lose money due to this news, it will be a problem.'

In the office on the second floor, Zhou Ming and Luo Han stood by the window, taking in the panoramic view of the situation below. As they watched the crowd of people below rushing to the counter, Luo Han said to Zhou Ming, 'It seems that the news was very effective. These stock investors all understand the dire consequences of the news, but I'm not sure if they can still get out of the stock market now.'

'It's definitely too late now,' said Zhou Ming.

Lohan looked at Zhou Ming with some surprise, because the news about the South Development Bank was deliberately spread by someone he had sent into the trading floor. In fact, there was no such thing. The purpose of this was just to create a sense of panic among ordinary investors. As long as they blindly sold their stocks following the news, it would trigger a chain reaction in the market and cause the stock market to really start falling.

If that didn't work, then Zhou Ming would use the media to expose the news. Such a big piece of news would be enough to make the stock market react.

This was Zhou Ming's plan. Luo Han still remembers the exact words Zhou Ming used at the time: 'The Nanjiang stock market is like a dilapidated and crumbling house that is about to collapse. It has only been propped up so that it hasn't fallen yet. What they need to do now is give the house a push at the right time, so that it collapses artificially and doesn't suddenly fall and injure more people.

This incident is not real, but if the news is released, it could have a decisive impact on the stock market. And given the current situation of the Nanjiang stock market, once it starts to fall, it will be like a domino effect that cannot be stopped.

Of course, in order to protect the reputation of Nanfang Development Bank, they can just come forward afterwards to dispel the rumours and hold the rumour-mongers responsible.

Everything seems to be going well, but Luo Han is still a little worried: 'Counselor Zhou, what if the Binhai companies withstand the pressure and continue to invest, determined to make up the 10% loss and continue the upward momentum of the stock market?

Lohan's worries were not unfounded. After all, last night, Chairman Li's initiative to get other Binhai companies to get together for dinner had made it clear that he was also a character and would not obediently give up. If they were determined to keep injecting capital to maintain the upward momentum of the stock market, and let the shares of the South Development Bank fall, it would really be a bit difficult.

But Zhou Ming was not in a hurry. He glanced at Lohan and asked him meaningfully, 'Do you really think they will be that united?'

'What do you mean by that, Advisor Zhou?' Luo Han asked, stunned.

Zhou Ming smiled and continued, 'Luo Zong, if it were you, knowing that the Nanjiang stock market is definitely going to collapse, and even ordinary investors have begun to gradually withdraw from the stock market, would you still insist on continuing to invest against the trend?'

'Of course not,' Luo Han blurted out, "but Advisor Zhou, they have no choice now.'

Zhou Ming shook his head. Without explaining much, he asked Luo Han again, "So, Luo, do you think what they are doing now is a great thing? Or is what they are doing something that will bring them great rewards?'

Lohan was stunned, as if he had understood something. Zhou Ming continued, 'We all saw that Binhai's Li Dong gathered other Binhai bosses for dinner. We can also guess that they must be discussing the future of the stock market. As long as this Li Dong is not a fool, he will definitely find a way to calm the emotions of the others and keep them united.'

Zhou Ming suddenly changed the subject and continued, 'But Luo, have you ever thought that the problem they have is not something that can be solved with a few words over a meal? Those are all real interests!'

'So, Advisor Zhou, you're saying that even with yesterday's dinner, they're still not on the same page, and that once there's a sign of trouble, someone will still withdraw if they have to,' said Luo Han.

'If I'm not mistaken, I'm afraid the actual situation will be even more exciting than you think. It's possible that yesterday's dinner was really a set-up. After all, betraying a teammate is sometimes a technical job.' Zhou Ming said.

Lohan let out a cold breath. He was about to say something when he heard a commotion in the trading hall. Although due to the distance and soundproofing of the office, he could not hear clearly what was being argued, he could guess that it must be related to the stock market.

Suddenly, the phone on the office desk rang. Luo Han hurriedly picked it up and connected it. Immediately, a staff member reported, 'Mr. Luo, a stock transaction of about 20 million was just sold.'

Lohan was stunned, and Zhou Ming added, 'It seems that a large amount of capital is withdrawing from the stock market. I didn't misread the situation. Chairman Li is still very quick.'

'Advisor Zhou, you are truly amazing, you actually know them so well,' Lohan said, giving Zhou Ming a thumbs-up.

Zhou Ming shook his head and said, 'It's not that I know them, it's just human nature. If you can harm others to benefit yourself, who would want to suffer losses?'

Meanwhile, outside the stock exchange, the newsstand owner hurriedly ran out of the stock exchange and towards a Santana parked on the roadside. When the newsstand owner ran over, the window was rolled down and it was Boss Li from Binhai sitting in the car.

The newsstand owner ran over, took a break and then said to him, 'Just now someone shouted inside that there was news of accounting problems at Nam Fok Development Bank, and many people were selling their stocks. Immediately, the stock market began to plummet.'

Li Dong nodded, took out two hundred yuan and gave it to him. The newsstand owner took the money, said thank you and then stepped back. Li Dong looked up at the stock exchange sign and said, 'I didn't think that such a tactic would be used to make the stock market fall, but thank you all the same. If it weren't for this news as a cover, I'm afraid it wouldn't be so easy to withdraw.'

He then leaned back in his chair and rolled up the window. 'I'm sorry, guys, but I'm leaving you behind. You'll have to figure it out on your own. After all, a friend in need is a friend indeed!'

Li Dong gave a smile of satisfaction. He told the driver to drive off, but he didn't know that not far away, there was also a Santana parked there, and the newsstand owner was also rushing over there...
