章節 1440: Chapter 1440: A special bill in the British Parliament
4378.2!
4335.5!
4327.8!
4322.6!
The Hang Seng Index continues to fall as the share prices of major blue chips decline.
By the time it closed at noon, the Hang Seng Index had fallen to 4207.3.
The drop had reached 3.9%.
The stock market had evaporated more than 70 billion Hong Kong dollars.
However, during the lunch break, major institutions and investors calmed down a little.
Many institutions analysed that the magnitude of the market adjustment should be almost over.
After all, there is nothing that can cause a huge impact on Hong Kong stocks at the moment. The decline and adjustment is understandable, but there is no basis for a sharp plunge!
So when trading resumed in the afternoon, the market was in a state of violent turbulence for the first half hour. Although the Hang Seng Index had fallen, the drop was only just under seven points.
Just half an hour had passed, and sell orders were still coming in.
The institutions that were buying the dip were in a state of self-doubt.
Why were there still so many sell orders?
...
Monday was just the beginning.
The following week.
The trend of the market really made bullish institutions and investors doubt their lives time and time again.
Every time they thought they had finally reached the bottom and could enter the market, it turned out there was still lower!
It was as if they had been buying all the way down, to the point of doubting their own lives.
By the close of trading on Friday afternoon, the Hang Seng Index closed at 3738.2.
Compared to the opening price on Monday, this represented a drop of 14.6%!
The entire market had evaporated by more than 280 billion Hong Kong dollars, and the total market value of Hong Kong stocks had fallen to 1.65 trillion Hong Kong dollars.
On Friday evening, after Xia Yu had finished dinner at home, Liu Tianci took advantage of the darkness to come to his home.
'Good evening, Chairman!'
'Good evening, Madams!'
'Tianci, come and sit down. Have you eaten dinner yet?'
Xia Yu greeted him warmly, smiling as he asked.
'Chairman, I came after dinner,'
Liu Tianci said, sitting up straight.
Xia Yu smiled and pointed to the fruit on the tea table, saying, 'There's no need to be so polite at home. Have some fruit after dinner.'
'Okay,'
Liu Tianci then relaxed, put the documents he had brought aside, and picked up a slice of orange and ate it.
Xia Yu then picked up the documents Liu Tianci had brought and leaned back on the sofa to read them.
This was a weekly work report from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and the core was the data.
Xia Yu immediately scanned the table in the middle, which recorded the trading volume for the week.
On Monday, the trading volume was 12.871 billion Hong Kong dollars.
On Tuesday, the trading volume was 11.428 billion Hong Kong dollars.
On Wednesday, the trading volume was 9.989 billion Hong Kong dollars.
On Thursday, the trading volume was 8.406 billion Hong Kong dollars.
On Friday, the trading volume was 7.237 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The trading volume on Friday was already equivalent to the average trading volume for the entire year, just slightly higher.
And this average trading volume was still due to the explosion in trading volume during the month, which pushed up the year-to-date average trading volume.
From this we can see that investor trading enthusiasm has cooled significantly.
Over the course of the week, the total trading volume was HK$49.931 billion.
The market never even came close to the HK$50 billion mark.
The total trading volume on the exchange was so low, and Xia Yu also knew that this week, he had withdrawn another HK$9.487 billion, accounting for nearly 20% of the trading volume.
It can be imagined that the short seller definitely did not cash out much.
Of course, he also knew that the short seller had also sold a large number of shares off the exchange.
He just didn't know how many shares had actually been traded.
After all, off-exchange transactions were not regulated by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, and there was no way to regulate them.
No matter how powerful his network was, it focused on non-commercial intelligence!
But in any case, those qualified to engage in over-the-counter trading are all powerful institutions, and most of the buyers are overseas institutions. Xia Yu didn't bother.
As long as the short sellers sold at a low price, it was fine.
He didn't want the short sellers to hold the stocks forever, and then return them in full.
In this case, the short sellers would only pay some handling fees and interest for the stocks they still held, which would not hurt the short sellers. This was not what Xia Yu wanted to see.
Afterwards, Xia Yu finished reading the entire document while eating fruit.
The document not only contained analysis reports on various industries, but also precise data on the on-site trading volume of the stocks of 542 listed companies. Xia Yu focused on the trading of the stocks of his own companies.
After putting down the report,
Xia Yu looked at Liu Tianci, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, 'Tianci, are the other directors at the exchange honest?'
Liu Tianci nodded and said, 'Chairman, they are all honest. We have absolute control over the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. These directors are all smart people, so they are not messing around.'
'Moreover!'
'In the past two years, we have controlled all the important positions in the exchange, and those directors have been almost sidelined by us.'
'The only two people who can have an influence are the directors sent by the Hong Kong government and Li Fuzhao. The directors on this side of the Hong Kong government don't care about anything, and Li Fuzhao never competes for power either. He just asks to share some of the benefits when new companies go public.'
It is normal to share some benefits, and Xia Yu knows that it is impossible to hog all the benefits, otherwise it will lead to internal chaos.
He smiled and said, 'That's good, you can take care of the stock exchange, I didn't pick the wrong person.'
Liu Tianci gave a modest smile and hurriedly thanked him, "I have to thank you, Chairman, for your cultivation...'
'Okay, there's no need to be so humble,'
Xia Yu waved his hand to interrupt Liu Tianci.
He asked again, "Tell me about the real investment sentiment of the institutions you know. You have the most direct access to various institutions and should know the situation better than me.'
'Chairman...' Liu Tianci told Xia Yu what he had seen and heard.
Xia Yu listened attentively.
After a long while.
Liu Tianci had finished telling him everything, and Xia Yu kept on thinking.
After a few more minutes.
Xia Yu came back to his senses, looked at Liu Tianci, and solemnly told him, 'Tianci, the daily trading volume has now returned to the average level, but the stock market has shrunk quite a bit, and the negative impact is not small.
'I don't think the enemy can hold back for long.'
'The next week or two will be crucial.'
'In any case, the market must not rise. I will definitely continue to control the market, and the pressure on your side will not be small. You must do a good job of stabilisation, understand?'
Liu Tianci sat up straight and nodded vigorously in response: 'Chairman, please rest assured, I am not only good at fighting battles with the wind at my back. I can also withstand strong winds and heavy waves. I will definitely not hold you back.'
Xia Yu then revealed a smile and nodded slightly: 'Well, I'm confident in your work.'
'Get a good rest tonight, take the weekend to rest as well, and continue working hard next week.'
'Thank you, Chairman, for your concern.'
'It's getting late, Chairman, so I'll go first and not disturb your rest.'
With that, Liu Tianci got up to take his leave.
Xia Yu didn't insist, but instead got up to see him out of the door as a show of his care for him.
Xia Yu did not return to the house until Liu Tianci's car had left.
This weekend, public opinion continued to call on investors to remain calm.
Xia Yu also once again instructed Ma Qianjun to mobilise manpower to investigate the enemy's true plan as soon as possible.
Xia Yu was, after all, a financial magnate, and he knew very well that in order to collapse the financial market of a country or region, one must have a heavyweight weapon.
This weapon could be a commercial bomb, a loophole in the financial order, a flood of capital, etc.
Of course, it could also be a black swan event.
But this time, the enemy's attack was well-planned, so it couldn't be a black swan event. It could only be a man-made crisis.
That's why Xia Yu had long since mobilised his forces to investigate. Not only had Luo Wang been deployed, but Bright Foundation and Xia Yu's allies in the UK were also helping with the investigation.
But so far, not a single clue had been found!
Xia Yu knew that the enemy was on guard, but he was truly surprised that they were only guarding against this extent.
It also made him increasingly vigilant.
The work week passed in a flash.
During the week, the average daily trading volume of Hong Kong stocks was around 6.84 billion Hong Kong dollars.
The Hang Seng Index also continued to fall, closing at 3,528.4 points on Friday afternoon, a weekly drop of 209.8 points.
And it was this Saturday.
It was already 5:00 p.m. in Hong Kong.
It was only 10:00 a.m. in London, England.
That day, the British Parliament held a special meeting to discuss two reform bills.
After voting on the two original bills, many MPs thought the meeting was about to end.
Suddenly one MP submitted a bill.
After the bill was read out, the entire meeting hall was like a calm lake that had a bomb dropped in it, instantly churning.
