Rebirth 1979: Marrying a poor girl at the beginning

"As early as 1890, the United States passed the Anti-Trust Law under the promotion of President Harrison. What is trust? Trust fund, which we translate into anti-monopoly law, but a stricter translation, or in essence, should be the Anti-Trust Fund Law."

"And in the United States, who are the holders of trust funds? They are large families. Therefore, the essence of this law is against large families!"

"What is the purpose? It is to make the big families exit the stage of history and make good companies become public companies. Look at the major shareholders of McDonald's. Is there anyone from the McDonald's family among the major shareholders?"

"This is true for the stock market and the futures market as well. The futures market was originally established to allow real enterprises, especially manufacturing enterprises, to lock in the forward price of raw materials, stabilize the price fluctuations of raw materials, reduce the impact on production, and achieve sustainable operations."

"But now, excessive speculation in silver futures and manipulation by big families have deviated from the original intention of establishing the market. Not only have many silver-based production companies been facing operational difficulties, but big families have also manipulated prices and reaped the consequences of small and medium-sized investors. How long will the Trading Committee wait before it stops interfering? If you don't understand, you might as well check what the Trading Committee's responsibilities are!"

Shen Meiyi was stunned. Her clear eyes were empty and dull. She murmured, "It seems to be protecting the interests of investors, maintaining market order, and preventing systemic risks..."

"Look, you clearly know everything, but you turn a blind eye to it!"

Lin Zhengjun said earnestly: "Capitalist society allows profit-seeking and exploitation, just like cutting leeks!"

"But capital is only allowed to cut leeks with a sickle, but not allowed to wield a hoe to pull out the leeks by the roots. This is too unscrupulous! Besides, without the growth of leeks one after another, the market will become a barren land, losing its vitality and vigor!"

"Therefore, the trading commissions of the New York Stock Exchange and the Chicago Stock Exchange will definitely take measures against the Hunt brothers."

"They may be powerless in terms of funds, but what about the system? They are the rule makers. They only need to change the system, such as adding margin for silver futures."

"This alone is enough to cause the Hunt family and the Saudi royal family to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in additional expenses."

"And at this point, I estimate that the Hunter family doesn't have much money left. The price of silver can only rise by two dollars at most!"

Shen Meiyi's beautiful eyes sparkled as she praised sincerely, "Mr. Lin, you are simply a genius. Your analysis is so insightful. I was blinded by one thing!"

"Haha, you are still young and have room to grow. Just learn slowly!"

Lin Zhengjun's tone was very old-fashioned, but Shen Meiyi was convinced and smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, when will you come to Hong Kong?"

"what happened?"

"If you come to Hong Kong, please be sure to contact me. I am willing to serve you. I would also like to treat you to a meal and learn from you!" Shen Meiyi said coquettishly.

"Okay, thank you Miss Shen for your kindness!" Lin Zhengjun laughed heartily, then said a few more polite words and hung up the phone.

In Hong Kong in the 80s, Lin Zhengjun was unfamiliar with the place and was completely in the dark.

When I come back to Hong Kong to invest and start a business, it would be nice to have someone to help run errands!

Don't underestimate a small trader at HSBC, they are a small group of the most elite in the financial world.

"Is there really a big family manipulating the price of silver?"

Fu Qi had just been listening attentively nearby, and when he saw Lin Zhengjun hang up the phone, he asked curiously.

"That's right!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "The exchange has already investigated it thoroughly. It has been published in today's Wall Street Journal. You will see it when the newspaper arrives tomorrow!"

"The exchange will intervene in the market and the price of silver will plummet?" Fu Qi asked.

"That's right! This is the final madness. It will drop from $50 to $10, and it will end in March."

Lin Zhengjun said: "By then, futures exchanges and stock exchanges will reduce intervention, and even stabilize the silver and stock markets!"

"Why?" Fu Qi felt that it was beyond the scope again.

Lin Zhengjun said: "Because when the Hunter family manipulated the price of silver, they also borrowed a huge amount of money from the bank. Once they lose too much money and cannot repay the loan, it will trigger a crisis in the banking industry! This is one reason!"

"Besides, in order to close their positions, the Hunt family and even the Saudi royal family will also sell off silver spot as well as crude oil, gasoline and other assets. The total value controlled by the Hunt family alone is about 400 million US dollars. This is bound to hit the silver and oil prices, causing the US dollar to depreciate faster, which is also what the United States does not want to see. This is the second reason!"

Historically, exchanges have indeed reduced market intervention, and the Treasury Department has unprecedentedly lent the Hunt family $1 billion to prevent them from sinking.

But the condition was that the Hunt family would never be allowed to participate in commodity trading.

This is a typical case of the big but unable to fail. Later, the Hunt family survived by relying on the oil fields purchased during the Great Depression, but it had long lost its former glory.

Fu Qi looked at Shi Hui with excitement, rubbed his hands excitedly, and said, "How about we play with Lin Zhengjun again this time!"

"Yes, you can even mortgage a batch of equipment and real estate to the bank for a loan to increase leverage!"

Shi Hui smiled and said, "The shortage of funds has always been the bottleneck restricting the development of Great Wall Films. I don't want to beg for alms from monks anymore!"

Mr. Liao proposed a plan to shoot a kung fu film. The Leftist Film Company took on the task, but they had no money, so they found a Japanese monk named Zong Daochen.

He learned Shaolin Kung Fu in China, and after returning to Japan, he set up a Shaolin Temple Kung Fu Alliance with more than 100,000 disciples.

He was willing to purchase the Japanese copyright of the film and paid an advance of 55 Hong Kong dollars, which resulted in the first version of the "Shaolin Temple" script and the half-film that was scrapped.

The first shoot was unsuccessful and the money was almost spent, so we asked for an additional HK$70.

Oh, Great Wall Films feels so embarrassed, it's like begging for help!

"Wow, you are so confident in the army? Aren't you afraid of losing everything?" Fu Qi joked.

"Zhengjun's analysis makes sense!"

Shi Hui laughed and said, "With such a God of Wealth around us, we would be fools if we didn't take advantage of his good fortune!"

"I even want to set up an investment company for Great Wall, so that we can invest with Zhengjun and make steady profits!"

Lin Zhengjun slapped his thigh and said with a smile: "Ah, Aunt Shi is very generous, this is a good idea! Also, do you know about crowdfunding?"

……

Afternoon, office.

The tape in the VCR slowly turned, and human figures flickered on the 12-inch color TV.

Lin Zhengjun, Fu Qi and Zhang Xinyan selected martial arts athletes together.

"This one is good. According to the information, he is from the Shandong Province Wushu Team, and his name is Yu Hai!"

Lin Zhengjun said: "Look at him, he has a fat head and big ears, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his facial lines are soft. He can show both majesty and kindness!"

"I have a fierce look of steel towards my enemies, but a kind heart towards my disciples! I played the master of Jueyuan in Shaolin Temple and the head of Luohan Hall in Tai Chi Grandmaster!"

"Wonderful!"

Zhang Xinyan was very excited and said, "Zhengjun just said what was in my heart. In Zhengjun's words, what is it called? A mouthpiece!"
