章節 943: Chapter 943: Major public safety incidents
The next day, Xia Yu went to the Sotheby's auction house in Xiangjiang and found the general manager of the auction house, Ren Decheng, who had been specially promoted in Xiangjiang after Xia Yu acquired Sotheby's auction house and had managed the auction house very well.
After telling Ren Decheng about the matter, Xia Yu left, believing that Ren Decheng would not easily miss such a rare opportunity.
As for the outcome, it would be clear at the spring auction in more than 20 days!
Just wait patiently...
After returning to the Jiuding Building, Xia Yu continued to make detailed plans based on his own business situation in Hong Kong, while also focusing some of his attention on the Hong Kong government.
When he learned that MacLehose had taken a group of people to visit the New Territories, Xia Yu knew that his plan had made breakthrough progress.
The thinking of the Hong Kong government's decision-making level had already progressed from whether or not to approve to considering implementation.
At this time, relevant news had already leaked out, making people with ulterior motives jump at the opportunity.
However, at this time, the Jiuding newspapers and media did not mention a word about this kind of news, and Yan Wenhan also followed Xia Yu's orders to create other public opinion hotspots to confuse the public.
Xia Yu would not allow people with ulterior motives to use public opinion to exert pressure on the Hong Kong government and sabotage his plans.
As for the official level, because Xia Yu had acted early, even if people with ulterior motives wanted to exert influence through political connections, they would first face the encirclement of those who had already taken sides.
...
That afternoon, Xia Yu was sitting on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and looking at the development reports and plans of Jiuding Transportation Group and Hutchison Whampoa. He was thinking about the planning for the 'trade and logistics industry' in his 'one core, six pillars' concept.
Just then, his mother, who was sitting next to him, let out an exclamation: 'My goodness, this is so shocking, to have such a big accident, and there was a five-year-old child, so pitiful!'
'Yes, I didn't expect another accident, a whole busload of people, that's dozens of families! Three people died on the spot, so tragic!'
His father also said with emotion.
Xia Yu had no heart to read the documents, and looked up at the TV. The TV screen happened to show a photo of a bus overturned at the foot of a mountain. The bus was deformed, and many people on the ground were huddled and wailing, while others were crying as they hugged the injured person covered in blood.
Xia Yu frowned slightly, a flash of unwillingness in his eyes, but he continued watching.
It turned out that at a little after nine this morning, a D586 Dennis F-type double-decker bus with the license plate AR7521, running the 84 route between Sui Wo Court and Fo Tan, lost control on the downhill slope near Fung Lee Industrial Centre on Sui Wo Road, and the bus hit the road kerb and then rolled down the slope and came to a stop at the bottom. There were 38 people on board, including the driver, 37 passengers and one driver. Three people, including the driver, were killed on the spot, and 35 people were injured, including eight people in critical condition who were rushed to the ICU for rescue. It is estimated that there will be some unlucky ones. (True story)
At this time Xia's father said with emotion, 'KMB has been involved in accidents for several years. I remember an accident four years ago, when a bus crashed directly into a vegetable market. It seems that six people were killed and dozens were injured.'
Xia's mother complained in agreement: 'Not to mention four years ago, three months ago on Nathan Road in Kowloon, not one bus lost control and overturned? One person died on the spot, and more than 50 people were injured. It was reported on TV as well.'
'I remember that the reporter also interviewed the manager of Kowloon Motor Bus at the time and promised to make improvements and strengthen management. I think it was just a way to deceive the public and they don't take human life seriously at all!'
'It It's only been a little over three months, and there's already been another major accident, dozens of families... It's so tragic...'
Xia's father continued, 'I remember that China Motor Bus rarely had accidents. Last year when there was an accident with Kowloon Motor Bus, I read in the newspaper about the historical records of major accidents involving the two bus companies. China Motor Bus had a particularly low accident rate.'
'I think it's a management problem. It's impossible that China Motor Bus can do it and Kowloon Motor Bus can't. They don't take human life seriously!'
'If If the victims had insurance, the insurance company would be out of luck, and if they didn't, KMB would have to pay a lot. But I'd say, they deserve it, I hope they go bankrupt, otherwise they won't learn their lesson!'
Xia Yu looked at his indignant parents with some surprise. He had never expected their level of eloquence to be so high. It seemed that their lives in recent years had really changed them a lot.
Now if they were to return to their small fishing village, who would immediately think that they were fishermen?
Feeling his son's gaze, Xia Yu's father turned his face to his son and said thoughtfully and earnestly, 'Ah Yu, your business is much bigger than the Kowloon Motor Bus Company, with hundreds of thousands of people working for you. You must be careful, and you must not have accidents like the Kowloon Motor Bus Company. One person having an accident means ruining a family. You must not be blamed by people stabbing you in the back!'
Xia Yu's mother also flashed a worried look, and with concern, she reminded him, 'Yes, Yu, you must be careful and manage the company well...'
Xia Yu smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, don't worry, your son is not like that. Go out and ask around, which of the employees of my company are not well treated?'
'In the whole of Hong Kong, all the employees of my company are insured!'
'You don't need to worry about it!'
Xia's father and mother nodded and said, "That's good!'
'Dad you can rest, I'll go up first.'
Next, Xia Yu said hello to his parents after watching the news, and then took Li Qian upstairs.
'Well, your mother and I will watch for a while, you rest first, you still have to go to the office in the afternoon!'
...
After waking up in the afternoon, Xia Yu did not go to the Jiuding Building, but instead told the driver to drive to Jiuding Securities Company.
'Wang Qi, do you know about the Kowloon Motor Bus incident?'
As soon as Wang Qi, Xia Yu asked.
Wang Qi was taken aback, but then nodded and said, 'I knew about it this morning. I heard that the first person on the scene was a reporter from Jiuding Newspaper Company. I had previously communicated with Yan Wenhan, and he told me that we would be informed of all major news in Xiangjiang before it was reported. I have someone on my side to liaise with.'
'After I knew about it in the morning, and my subordinates reported it to me immediately. As it happened, we had previously invested in some Kowloon Motor Bus shares, and before other institutions could react, I had already sold all of them and even made a small profit.
Xia Yu praised with a smile: 'Quick response, well done!'
Wang Qi smiled modestly and then asked, 'Chairman, would you like to see how the operations are going?'
Xia Yu nodded and said, 'Well, I'm here now because of the Kowloon Motor Bus incident, but let's talk about it later. I'll just take a look at the situation first.'
'Please follow me!'
With that, Wang Qi and Xia Yu went to the trading room together.
In the busy trading room, Wang Qi led Xia Yu to a corner and pointed to the two trading boards and the two traders, saying to Xia Yu, 'Chairman, because the operation is not very large, we have arranged for two people to be in charge of the operation.'
Xia Yu nodded slightly and asked one of the traders, 'What is the situation?'
The employee immediately replied, 'Chairman, the opening price of the Kowloon Motor Bus Company stock this morning was HK$4.56 per share. We originally held 3.45 million shares, accounting for 3.75% of the total share capital. After selling, we recovered HK$15.07 million in capital, with an average transaction price of HK$4.37 per share!'
'Now the stock price has dropped to HK$4.01/share, we shorted 2,200 lots, and the current floating profit has reached HK$540,000!'
Xia Yu calculated the relevant amount after a little mental arithmetic.
Because Wang Qi reacted in time and sold the stocks he originally held, according to the current stock price, it is equivalent to avoiding a loss of nearly HK$1.9 million.
Then he shorted the stocks again, and the floating profit reached HK$540,000, which added up to a value of HK$2.44 million!
Moreover It is obvious that the incident with the Kowloon Motor Bus Company is not yet known to the whole of Hong Kong, and it can continue to ferment. The stock price will continue to fall, and Jiuding Securities will make even more profits.
Although he no longer cares about the money, if Jiuding Securities can seize hundreds of opportunities like this one, the losses avoided and profits gained will be worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
The Great Wall was built brick by brick, wasn't it?
'Do a good job!'
Xia Yu encouraged the trader by patting his shoulder.
The trader immediately straightened up, beaming, and said excitedly, 'Thank you, Chairman, for your encouragement. I will continue to work hard!'
'Well!'
Xia Yu replied softly, patted the shoulder of the trader next to him, who had envious eyes, and then told Wang Qi to leave the trading room.
After they came out, Xia Yu told Wang Qi, 'Wang Qi, go and have someone pull up the relevant information on the Kowloon Motor Bus Company. I'll wait for you in the office!'
'Okay!'
