Rebirth 1990: The beginning is sweet and cool Bai Yueguang

Regarding the allocation of funds, Li Zihong decided to take away 5 billion, while Yang Cheng proposed that Zhou Qi manage most of the remaining funds, and he would only take away 2 billion, mobilizing a total of 7 billion. The remaining 26 billion fund pool was enough to support their plan.

Zhou Qi immediately arranged for Lin Fang to adjust the funds in the account. Later, Zhou Qi found an opportunity to talk to Li Zihong alone: ​​"Mr. Li, is there a way for me to contact Mr. Li Zhaoji secretly? This matter must be kept absolutely confidential."

Secret communication?

Li Zihong was full of doubts. Even in the stock market, one was operating openly and the other was acting secretly, but on the surface, things shouldn't be so complicated.

However, when Zhou Qi briefly recounted his encounter with Huo Tingen and Tang Jiacheng in Victoria Harbour and mentioned his speculation with Li Jiaxin, Li Zihong's face instantly turned cold. He never thought that the Huo family and the Tang family were actually insiders, teaming up with international speculators to destroy the economy of Hong Kong City. This was simply like the behavior of a traitor.

Looking back now, Huo Yongnian and Tang Junnian's opposition at the meeting seemed to be intended to prevent joint action. Li Zihong continued, "It seems that the problem is far more than just the two of them."

Zhou Qi frowned, realizing that the situation was more serious than he had imagined. Although there was only speculation and no evidence, no one could tell exactly how many of these people there were and to what extent they had infiltrated.

"I understand." Li Zihong said solemnly, "Leave this matter to me. No matter what, we must be vigilant. The stock market changes rapidly. If someone from the inside interferes, then the battle will be lost before it even begins."

This is not an exaggeration. Once any move is leaked to the opponent, the damage will be incalculable. Fortunately, Zhou Qi reminded us, otherwise once the incident broke out, not only would the funds be hit hard, but the economy of Hong Kong City and the confidence of the people would also be devastated. Hong Kong City might even become a laughing stock.

After transferring the funds, Li Zihong and Yang Cheng left. Soon, Xiangfu held a press conference, and the four major families and many wealthy people appeared together, conveying confidence to the public with a strong lineup. The 80 billion funds raised this time, equivalent to one-tenth of the total value of the stock market, were like a shot of adrenaline, injected into the hearts of every citizen who paid attention to this matter.

The news this morning did come from Xiangfu, which united the city's wealthy people to fight the crisis together. The investment of 80 billion yuan showed Xiangfu's determination and strength.

Li Jianan stared at the TV screen and muttered, "Wow, 80 billion! Is that even worth thinking about? If we throw all of it into the stock market, who can stop us? It would be strange if the Hong Kong Stock Index doesn't soar above 8,000 points."

Li Jiaxin glanced at him with disdain, thinking that this was stupid. If it was really that easy, why did Li Zhaoji have to personally control the market?

Zhou Qi was frowning in thought, and Li Jiaxin couldn't help asking him, "What are you worried about?"

Zhou Qi was silent for a moment and then said, "The real opponent has not yet appeared. It is not a good thing for us to respond passively like this."

Li Jianan said disapprovingly: "Look, this is 80 billion, and with Li Zhaoji backing him up, who would dare not buy it? They would be scared away."

"Stop talking." Li Jiaxin stopped him softly.

But Zhou Qi motioned her to stop, turned to Li Jianan and asked: "If you were to manage this 80 billion, what would you do?"

Li Jianan thought for a moment and replied: "I will immediately raise the Hong Kong index to stimulate the enthusiasm of the public. Once the index rises, everyone will work together to form a strong support force."

"On the other hand, if the Hong Kong index falls again," Li Jianan continued, "then the press conference will not only be a slap in the face, but once the public's confidence collapses, everything will be over."

Zhou Qi nodded, approving of his opinion. Li Jianan clapped his hands in satisfaction, thinking that his brain was fully capable of doing the job.

However, Zhou Qi calmly pointed out: "The other party must have thought of this. They are not afraid of the 80 billion because they know everything about us, but we know nothing about them. The information is not equal."

"If we do nothing, the news that we hold 80 billion may cause panic and doubt among the public; if we act first, without understanding the other party, we may fall into a trap."

Li Jianan was stunned. Zhou Qi's words made him realize that things were far more complicated than he had imagined.

Li Jiaxin looked at Zhou Qi and asked, "Are you planning to be the bait?"

Zhou Qi frowned as he considered the risks of this choice, worried that it might backfire if the timing was inappropriate.

Li Jiaxin continued, "Do you think the other party is really that strong and can overwhelm these 80 billion? If so, why didn't they take direct action this morning?"

"That's what I'm confused about." Zhou Qi sighed, "But I believe the other party's plan goes far beyond this, and may involve a larger-scale financial game."

"I even suspect," Zhou Qi added, "that their performance this morning was just pretending to be weak in order to draw out our 80 billion and completely undermine Hong Kong's economy and public morale."

Li Jiaxin's face suddenly turned pale.

If this were said by someone else, she would have laughed it off. But Zhou Qi's analysis is always well-founded and should not be underestimated. If this is true, what kind of storm will Xianggang face? This is simply a public execution, making all the wealthy people in Hong Kong feel uneasy and exposed to the public. This method is more cruel than direct attack.

"You must have come up with a plan, right?" Li Jiaxin asked, staring at Zhou Qi.

Zhou Qi frowned slightly, unwilling to become the conspicuous chess piece. The press conference had exposed him too much, and hiding behind the scenes would still allow him to retain some room for maneuver. Becoming a target would only make him lose his advantage prematurely. But if he didn't do this, Li Zhaoji's team might fall into a disadvantageous situation. It was indeed a difficult dilemma.

He shook his head slightly, without giving a clear answer: "Things will always turn around, let's wait and see."

Li Jianan listened from the side, thinking, is this the so-called clever trick? After a long talk, it seemed like they were back to square one. In his opinion, Zhou Qi was just being mysterious.

However, Li Jiaxin was even more worried because of this. The Zhou Qi she knew was always well-prepared and well-planned. The silence at this moment made her feel a little helpless.

Just as she was about to speak, a voice came from the stairs: "Mr. Zhou is right. Everything depends on human effort. Don't put too much pressure on yourself." Old Master Li slowly walked down the stairs.

Zhou Qi immediately stood up and stepped forward to help. Mr. Li did not refuse, and patted Zhou Qi on the shoulder and said, "I know everything about the stock market. You know, Jiaxin often mentioned you to me. Although it's rare during this period, I know your situation very well."
