Chapter 1435: More than 40 billion yuan returned to the market

"How did he die?'

Wu Hongyi wanted to struggle to sit up, but when his gaze fell on the photo of his wife in his hands again, he stopped and muttered.

Li Hongchang, the butler, recounted the story: 'I didn't go to the scene, but according to the family's feedback, the Second Master was killed in the toilet of the Maple Bar. The time of death was between 9:40 and 9:50 p.m., and the murderer has not yet been caught.'

'In addition...'

'In addition what?'

'Uncle Chang, just say it, I can handle it.'

Seeing that Li Hongchang was about to speak but hesitated, Wu Hongyi glanced at him and asked softly.

'Master, actually, in the bathroom where the second young master was killed, a small cardboard box was found on the floor, and inside the box was a dead rat.'

After Li Hongchang had finished describing the situation, he secretly watched Wu Hongyi's face.

In Chinese culture, rats are not a symbol of good omens, and they are dead rats, so the meaning is even more.

Sure enough.

After hearing this last sentence, Wu Hongyi's face changed.

'Cardboard box?'

'Dead rat?'

So, in the murderer's eyes, Wu Honglin is a rat? So he deserves to die?

A rat...a traitor?

The more Wu Hongyi thought about it, the more he felt dizzy. He had already suffered several mental breakdowns due to his wife's death, and because of his injuries, he was also weak.

'Family head, don't think about it anymore, just rest,'

Li Hongchang had been worried that Wu Hongyi would overthink things, and now he saw that this was indeed the case. He hurriedly tried to calm him down.

Soon, Li Chunqiu was also invited to come. Under his massage, Wu Hongyi's nerves eased considerably.

But that night, a shadow lingered in Wu Hongyi's heart. He wanted to know the truth, but he was afraid to find out...

...

The Rothschild family also received the news.

When Evelyn Rothschild heard the news, he had just finished showering and was preparing to discuss philosophy with the two famous women he had invited to his home.

However, this sudden news completely dampened his interest, and he hurriedly dressed and rushed to the family residence.

Soon, Evelyn Rothschild returned to the family residence.

Jakob Rothschild had just woken up and was checking the details of the intelligence in the living room.

'Jakob, you just read it. Do you think Xia Yu did this?'

Seeing that Jakob Rothschild knew the details, Evelyn Rothschild didn't waste any words and asked the most critical question directly.

This was also the question he had been pondering on the way here.

'I can't be sure it was him, but he is the prime suspect.'

'Based on this situation, it is likely that our plan against the Chinese business consortium has been leaked.'

Jacob Rothschild's face looked a little unpleasant, and he shook his head.

'I was thinking the same thing. Wu Honglin was assassinated, and Wu Hongyi handed over power to Xia Yu, so now no one in the Chinese business consortium can shake Xia Yu's position.

'Our chances of targeting the Chinese business consortium will be several times more difficult. Sigh...'

Evelyn Locher couldn't help but sigh, feeling a sense of defeat.

They were still waiting for an opportunity to take out Wu Hongyi, but before they could find one, Wu Honglin, who was under their control, was decisively assassinated by their enemies.

'The Chinese Business Bank also held an extraordinary board meeting tonight. The details are still unknown, but I have a bad feeling that things may get worse.'

'I have the same feeling. We need to speed up our plan of action!'

...

Evelyn and Jacob Rothschild's hunch was still very accurate.

The next morning.

Huashang Bank announced to the public that it had reached a comprehensive strategic partnership with Jiuding Bank, HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank, Bahrain Bank and Royal Bank of Scotland, and had obtained a total credit line of up to 8 billion pounds from the five major banks!

The other five banks also successively disclosed the news, proving that the strategic cooperation had indeed been reached.

After this news spread, the middle and senior management of almost all companies in the Huashang Bank, including those in the Huashang consortium, felt relieved.

However, after Jacob Rothschild and Evelyn Rothschild learned the news, they felt sick as if they had eaten shit.

As for those rival companies that were fighting against the companies in the Huashang consortium, they all felt awkward and had the intention to retreat.

They had previously thought that they could bully the member companies of the Chinese Business Consortium because they were poorly funded and could be worn down. However, now that the Chinese Business Bank had the support of the Big Five banks behind it, they were confident that they could continue to fight and might even gain more than they had lost.

This move directly disrupted the plans of the Rothschild family, and the pressure on the Chinese Business Consortium decreased sharply!

Seeing that it was impossible to eat up the Chinese Business Bank, the Rothschild family could only temporarily abandon this plan.

However, the plan to attack Heung Kong and the Jiuding Consortium would not be abandoned, and it was even being accelerated!

Their actions.

Xia Yu, who had long monitored the financial market of Xiangjiang, was the first to detect the unusual movements.

...

'Xiangjiang's economy is booming, and being the world's 20th largest economy is just a new starting point!'

'The Oriental Pearl is shining more and more brightly, and the potential of its new industrial structure is about to explode!'

'Asia's second largest financial centre? With Southeast Asia as its hinterland, Xiangjiang is expected to surpass Tokyo!'

'...

Just as the Rothschilds and their allies were selling their shares in Hong Kong, the major non-Jiuding media outlets, as if they had agreed, began to sing the praises of Hong Kong's future in unison.

They also listed all kinds of data, describing the situation in a logical and convincing manner.

Thanks to these media outlets, Hong Kong has already emerged from the ranks of the 'Four Asian Tigers' and is now a dragon taking flight.

Hong Kong's potential has yet to be realised, and investing in Hong Kong is the smartest choice.

In particular, with major entities and the tertiary industry, and with the huge population and market of Southeast Asia behind it, Hong Kong definitely has the potential to surpass island countries. The current situation in the financial market does not match Hong Kong's status.

This kind of rhetoric that greatly boosts morale and national self-confidence not only makes the local residents of Hong Kong bursting with self-confidence, but also makes investors in Southeast Asia eager to act.

Hong Kong investors, who are good at speculating in stocks, have been waving cheques and rushing to the Hong Kong stock market, trying to get on board when the stock market takes off again.

In the face of these comments, although some newspapers called on investors to remain calm,

the newspapers and media of the Jiuding Group, which has the largest territory, made a rare move of not publishing any related comments!

4372.8 points!

4389.4 points!

...

4435.7 points!

4485.1 points!

In just one week,

the Hang Seng Index rose by more than 100 points!

Behind this rise, however, is a daily trading volume of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars!

On the Friday with the largest trading volume, it even reached 18.24 billion Hong Kong dollars, more than twice the average daily trading volume in the past.

This shows that the incremental capital that poured into the stock market during the week was at least more than 20 billion Hong Kong dollars.

With the help of these funds, the total market capitalisation of the Hong Kong stock market finally reached a new peak of 2 trillion Hong Kong dollars!

A series of zeros appeared in the newspaper, which was extremely exciting and stimulating for investors.

Even though the market was closed for the weekend, the talk of stock market investment was still lively.

Xia Yu, on the other hand, had also received the specific information collected and collated by Fok Kin-ning.

In the first week, the various companies under his umbrella sold a total of 14.575 billion Hong Kong dollars' worth of stocks to raise funds.

In the second week, the various companies under his umbrella sold a total of 32.716 billion Hong Kong dollars' worth of stocks to raise funds.

The combined total for the two weeks was a high of HK$47.291 billion.

In terms of selling shares, Xia Yuyan was even more ruthless than companies such as S.G. Warburg, Thibault Capital Management, and British Golden Forest Asset Management.

And because Xia Yuyan was best at doing this kind of thing, and Xiangjiang was his home base, he had countless shell companies in his hands, and selling stocks was fast and fierce, and not easy to detect.

Due to the complexity of market transactions and Liu Tianci's tight control of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, it was difficult for information to leak, so much so that no one outside knew the specific trading data of each financial company.

However!

When the Rothschild family and their allies gathered at the weekend to compile the data, the situation was still exposed...
