Siheyuan: The Idiot in Charge

"Tuk Tuk Tuk"

After the meeting, Jia Weidong talked about work with Shi Xinyue and Chu Xiaodan.

After seeing Shi Xinyue off and Chu Xiaodan just sitting on Jia Weidong's lap, the office door was knocked by Xiaomei, the company's receptionist.

Chu Xiaodan stood up and straightened her cheongsam, then opened the door and asked, "Xiaomei! What's the matter?"

Xiaomei said, "Director Chu! Mr. Li Fuzhao from the Far East Club is here and wants to visit the chairman!"

"Oh? That Mr. Li is here again!"

"Boss! Mr. Li from the Far East Club wants to visit you. Do you want to meet him?" Chu Xiaodan turned around and asked Jia Weidong.

Jia Weidong nodded at Chu Xiaodan.

Chu Xiaodan understood and turned around and ordered: "Xiaomei! Invite Mr. Li to the reception room and make him a cup of tea. The chairman will be there soon!"

"Okay! Director Chu!"

When he heard the word "again", Jia Weidong realized that this was not the first time Li Fuzhao visited him.

Li Fuzhao’s identity is not simple.

That family was the Li family, one of the four most prominent families in early Hong Kong.

The eldest grandson of Li Peicai.

Although Jia Weidong has never met Li Fuzhao, Dongsheng Industrial and the Li family have a close relationship.

Initially, Dongsheng Industrial was a tenant of the Li and Feng families.

After Dongsheng Industrial bought the Bank of China Building from the Feng and Li families, Li Fuzhao has now become Jia Weidong's tenant.

Is this also a kind of fate?

Since I'm in the company, I really have to meet him.

In Hong Kong, especially at this time, connections are very important.

Without connections, you won't be able to get anywhere.

This statement is absolutely true.

Hong Kong is a place that attaches great importance to human relationships and nepotism.

Although Chinese businessmen at that time valued profit, they also valued friendship.

In the past, Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong were severely suppressed by foreign businessmen, which led to the Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong being very united.

Even if people are in the same industry and have huge conflicts in the process of development, they can still develop together with a smile and rarely deliberately cause trouble.

Most of them hold the idea of ​​win-win cooperation, common development and mutual benefit.

This will also lead to the fact that there will be countless wealthy people in Hong Kong in the future, but there will be no major business wars between Chinese businessmen.

It is not uncommon for Chinese businessmen to fight against foreign businessmen.

Therefore, there are countless alliances, chambers of commerce, and small groups in Hong Kong.

Because they knew that in Hong Kong, which was governed by the British, Chinese businessmen could only grow stronger by working together, and they could only rise up by defeating foreign businessmen.

Gradually, Chinese businessmen formed the habit of supporting each other and sticking together for warmth.

This is the current situation and future situation of Chinese businessmen in Hong Kong.

If Jia Weidong wants to develop in Hong Kong for a long time, he must make friends with people like Li Fuzhao.

Besides, leaving other things aside, the Far East Club is now also a tenant of the China Bank Building, so if they come to visit, we will definitely have to meet them.

"Hello! Mr. Li! Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

As soon as Jia Weidong entered the reception room, Li Fuzhao, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up and held Jia Weidong's hand tightly.

"Hello! Mr. Jia! They say Mr. Jia is like a mysterious dragon that can't be seen from head to tail. It's really not easy to meet you!"

"Ahem! Mr. Li! I'm really sorry, I don't live in Hong Kong all the time."

"I didn't expect that Mr. Jia is so young, but his business is no worse than some foreign businessmen. He is really promising at a young age!"

Li Fuzhao knew very well that since Dongsheng Industrial was able to buy the Bank of China Building, its strength should not be underestimated!

It’s just that they are relatively low-key and have not made any official announcement after acquiring the Bank of China for several years.

So far, not many people know that the Bank of China Building has changed its owner.

Jia Weidong said modestly: "Mr. Li, you are joking. I am just doing a small thing. My strength cannot be compared with those big guys, and it is even less worth mentioning compared with those foreign merchants."

"Mr. Jia! You are too modest!"

Jia Weidong smiled and shook his head, took out a pack of special supplies from his father-in-law, and handed one to Li Fuzhao.

"Hey, Mr. Jia! You're smoking."

Li Fuzhao was quite knowledgeable and knew that there was such a special kind of cigarettes in the mainland.

Jia Weidong laughed and said, "Oh! I obey you! My father-in-law!"

"Mr. Jia! What do you think of the current Hong Kong stock market?" Li Fuzhao took the cigarette, lit it and asked with a smile.

Jia Weidong smiled and said: "I am personally very optimistic. I think the Hong Kong stock market will have a bright future."

"Mr. Li! The development of Hong Kong's financial market will definitely be very good. Hong Kong may develop into an international financial metropolis in the future!"

"Wow! Mr. Jia is so confident about the Hong Kong stock market! What does Mr. Jia think of the listed companies in Hong Kong now?"

"Listed company sector?" Jia Weidong looked at Li Fuzhao in confusion.

He didn't understand why Li Fuzhao asked him this.

"Mr. Li, you must be joking. I'm just a young man who has just started out. How can I understand things about listed companies?"

“Hehehe!”

"Mr. Jia, you are too modest!"

Li Fuzhao continued: "Currently, there are less than 70 listed companies in Hong Kong, most of which are foreign companies, and there are only a dozen or so Chinese companies."

"Hong Kong is so big, there are tens of thousands of companies, and this year alone there are more than a thousand new companies listed."

"In addition, there are many manufacturing factories in Hong Kong, with more than 10,000 registered factories, as well as real estate companies, trading companies, etc."

"Hong Kong has many companies with great potential, and every one of them dreams of becoming a listed company one day."

"But, how many listed companies have been approved in Hong Kong over the years?"

"Among Chinese businessmen, apart from those family companies related to Xiangjiang Mansion, how many ordinary people's companies can be listed?"

"How many Chinese companies submit listing applications to the Hong Kong Association every day, but what are the results?"

"They used all kinds of difficulties and excuses to shirk their responsibilities. Everything has been put on hold indefinitely!"

"As a trading organization, Xiangjiang would say it is non-profit, but the more listed companies there are, the more people will buy their stocks, and won't brokers earn more commissions?"

"But why do they do that?"

"Their goal is to prevent our Chinese companies from growing stronger, so that foreign companies can continue to monopolize the Hong Kong market and keep us as slaves!"

"They won't stop until they have sucked every last drop of our blood!"

Li Fuzhao's righteous words left Jia Weidong unable to refute and he could only smile and nod.

His words really sounded touching and made sense.

But no one knows better than Jia Weidong that Li Fuzhao and his partners are merely waving the banner of justice for the benefit of Chinese businessmen to pursue their own selfish interests.

Of course, their starting point is good.

The establishment of the Far Eastern Club not only broke the monopoly of the Hong Kong stock market by the Hong Kong Association after the war, but also prompted others to follow suit and set up stock exchanges.

This has ushered in an era of "a hundred schools of thought contending, a hundred flowers blooming" for the Hong Kong stock market.

The birth of the Far Eastern Club not only means the end of the era of monopoly, but also represents the beginning of an era of openness and competition.

This is of great significance in the financial history of Hong Kong.

But some of the practices of Li Fuzhao and the Far East Club are not commendable.

To put it nicely, it's too extreme.

To put it bluntly, they are profit-driven and disregard the lives of ordinary investors for the sake of profit!

It can be said that the Hong Kong stock market crash in 73 was directly related to Li Fook-shao and the Far East Club.

Because at this time, there was a lack of effective supervision of securities trading institutions.

After the Far East Society was established, Li Fuzhao transformed himself into the Master of Tongtian. The Far East Society became almost like the Jiejiao, teaching everyone without discrimination.

No matter what kind of company it is, whether you are a shell company or a shell company, as long as you submit an application for listing, the Far East Club will approve the listing.

It’s that simple!

It was because they were profit-driven and used such irregular and irresponsible methods to lure Hong Kong companies to go public, which resulted in a mixed bag of good and bad listed companies in Hong Kong a few years later, posing huge hidden dangers.

Some fraudulent companies took advantage of the listing to make a large sum of money and then ran away.

Incidents such as the fake stock incident and the antenna company incident occurred one after another and became the fuse of Hong Kong's worst stock market crash.

At this moment, Jia Weidong didn't know how to answer Li Fuzhao's question.

He didn't want to get himself into such a vortex.

"Mr. Li! What you said makes a lot of sense."

"Mr. Li! I wonder if I can understand it this way: the reason for establishing the Far East Club is to break the current situation of monopoly by foreign merchants, to allow Chinese companies in Hong Kong to have the opportunity to go public, and to allow the Hong Kong stock market to operate in a fair and just manner, right?"

Li Fuzhao nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Director Jia, you are right! I, Li Fuzhao, want to break the situation where foreign merchants monopolize the financial market through the Far East Association."

"So! Mr. Jia! I need the support of a strong company like Dongsheng Industrial!"

Jia Weidong understood immediately that Lao Deng was trying to trick him into listing his Dongsheng Industrial in the Far East.

But Jia Weidong never thought about listing his Dongsheng Industrial.

There are thousands of ways to make money, but he never thought of raising money through listing on the stock market.

Not now, and not in the future.

Dongsheng Industrial will never be listed.

Jia Weidong pretended to be confused and asked calmly, "Mr. Li! What do you want me and Dongsheng Industrial to do?"

"I don't know if Mr. Jia plans to go public. I hope Mr. Jia will support me and list Dongsheng Industrial on the Far East Club."

"As long as Dongsheng Industry chooses to go public in the Far East Club, then in return, the Far East Club will do its utmost to help Dongsheng Industry, turn Dongsheng Industry into a star company, make it the signature company of Chinese companies, and make Dongsheng Industry's stock the number one listed stock of the Far East Club!"

Jia Weidong cursed in his heart: "Fuck! A celebrity company! A Chinese business brand! A top-listed stock! I won't listen to your nonsense!"

If you can make money quietly and without showing off, why do you need false fame?

The last thing I want is to be famous!

"Mr. Li! I'm sorry! I'm just helping my family run the company. My family elders are quite traditional and resistant to the financial industry. They told me that my company is not allowed to go public for financing. Therefore, whether now or in the future, Dongsheng Industrial will not go public!"

After hearing what Jia Weidong said, Li Fuzhao's eyes darkened, and he sighed and said regretfully: "Alas! It's a pity that such a good company like Dongsheng Industrial is not listed!"

"Mr. Li! My family won't allow it, so I can't do anything about it!"

"Alas! What a pity! What a pity!"

"Although my family does not allow the company to go public, they have not expressly prohibited me from investing in stocks! Mr. Li came to me because he gave me, Jia Weidong, face. The Far East Club will open for business, and Dongsheng Industry will definitely support it in every way!"

Just when Li Fuzhao was feeling disappointed, Jia Weidong changed the subject.

Hearing this, Li Fuzhao's eyes lit up again: "Does President Jia mean to invest in stocks in our Far East Club?"

"Yes! To show my support for Mr. Li and the Far East Club, I decided to invest in stocks in the Far East Club, no less than this amount!"

Jia Weidong raised his index finger towards Li Fuzhao.

Li Fuzhao: "Ten million?"

Jia Weidong shook his finger: "No! No less than 100 million!"

Li Fuzhao seemed to have springs under his buttocks. He stood up excitedly. "Really?"

One hundred million!

How many ordinary investors would be able to afford such a huge investment amount?

The Far East Club faced two major challenges when it opened.

One is a listed company.

The second is investors who buy stocks.

A stock exchange cannot just have listed companies.

The company has been listed, but someone has to buy its shares!

Having such a big customer as Jia Weidong directly solved a major problem for the Far East Club.

Li Fuzhao believed that as long as Dongsheng Company supported it, Far East Club would achieve good results upon its opening.

It will be very easy for him to take the company public next time.

Jia Weidong smiled and said, "That's absolutely true! Isn't the Far East Club opening tomorrow? I will arrange for someone to go and support Mr. Li tomorrow!"

The Far East Club will open for business. There will be no new listed companies, but that does not mean there will be no stock trading.

Far East Club will also use the currently listed stocks for trading.

“Thank you Mr. Jia and Dongsheng Industrial for your support to the Far East Club! On behalf of the Far East Club, I sincerely invite Mr. Jia to attend the opening ceremony tomorrow.”

"Mr. Li! I would like to wish the Far East Club a prosperous opening. I will not attend the opening ceremony tomorrow. I will let President Shi of Dongsheng Bank attend on my behalf!"

"This! Okay!"

"Mr. Li! I have a small request."

"What's your request? Mr. Jia, please tell me!"

"Mr. Li! I hope the Far East Club will keep all transactions of Dongsheng Company confidential!"

"No problem! Mr. Jia!" Li Fuzhao patted his chest and promised solemnly.

Then Li Fuzhao began to promise Jia Weidong benefits.

"First, as long as Mr. Jia opens an account with Far East Club, Far East Club will provide Dongsheng Company with a special large-account room. No matter what stocks you buy, you will enjoy priority and you don't have to queue up!"

"Second, commission discount! The original commission of our Far East Club was 1/1000 of 10 million. I am in charge of the account of Dongsheng Industrial and directly set it at 5/10000. What do you think, Mr. Jia?"

Jia Weidong shook Li Fuzhao's hand and said with a smile: "Great! Mr. Li is straightforward! Let's have a pleasant cooperation!"

Of course it’s fun!

Don't underestimate the difference between 1/1000 and 5/10,000 of the commission.

1万省5块，10万也只有50，那一个亿呢？10个亿呢？100亿呢？

Don’t think that Jia Weidong only has a few hundred million yuan in funds now.

That is the case when you invest in the stock market without operating. If you frequently go in and out and operate dozens of times, wouldn't that be hundreds of billions?

This is a good thing that comes to your doorstep!

Unexpectedly!

This is really like someone giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy!

It’s so thoughtful! ——
