Chapter 557 Investing
As soon as the market opened in the morning, the Nasdaq index fell from 5000 points to 4800 points, and Yahoo's stock price fell off a cliff like a lift.

Historically, the Nasdaq stock market crash occurred on Monday, March 3, which is no coincidence.

The Fed raises interest rates, and the Nasdaq P/E ratio reaches 200. Any fund manager with a discerning eye can see that the stock market is bound to crash. The only difference is when.

On weekends, the bosses of several major companies get together, play golf, exchange information with each other, discuss the next work, and then start to put it into action on Monday.

According to the original plan, they should not be ready to take action until March 3, but Alice's sudden entry disrupted their plans and forced them to act in advance.

Affected by the US stock market, the Hong Kong stock market plummeted as soon as the market opened on Tuesday morning. The stock price of Cyberport was still around 180 yuan a few days ago.

In just a few days, the stock price of Cyberport fell below 100 yuan, and it still couldn't stop the decline!
In newspapers and on TV, financial experts began to publish various theories.

Upon seeing this, Director Xu's department came forward in person, claiming that it would severely punish such acts of disrupting Hong Kong's financial order.

Yang Dongsheng turned off the TV, turned around and said to Yang Huai, "Help me make an appointment with the Government House and tell them that most of the money I earn from the Hong Kong stock market will be invested in Hong Kong!"

According to the current stock price of Cyberport, their profit has reached around 500 billion Hong Kong dollars—to be honest, without those second-generation and third-generation support markets, they really wouldn’t be able to earn so much.

This amount is too scary. According to the current exchange rate of the Hong Kong dollar, this is a huge wealth of nearly 200 billion US dollars.

Hong Kong is also advertised as a free port, where Hong Kong dollars and U.S. dollars are freely convertible, and there are no restrictions on international payments and fund transfers.

But if Yang Dongsheng withdraws all the 200 billion U.S. dollars, the Hong Kong government must go crazy. At this time, Hong Kong's total foreign exchange reserves are about 1000 billion U.S. dollars.

Most of the money earned from the stock market is invested in Hong Kong. On the one hand, it can appease the Government House, and on the other hand, Yang Dongsheng really can't use so many dollars for a while.

The Hong Kong dollar implements a linked exchange rate system closely pegged to the U.S. dollar. There is no need to worry about the depreciation of the Hong Kong dollar against the U.S. dollar. Funds in Hong Kong are temporarily safe.

But Yang Dongsheng must also be prepared to tear his face apart. Director Xu's department has already expressed its position, and they are still very influential in the Hong Kong government.

Yang Dongsheng sat in front of the phone and waited for more than ten minutes before calling back.

The Government House invited them to have dinner together. To show their sincerity, they will send a car to pick them up at the hotel.

Yang Dongsheng's guess was right. Before he made the phone call, the whole Government House was very nervous.

If Yang Dongsheng converts the money into U.S. dollars and withdraws it, their obstruction will damage the reputation of Hong Kong's free port, which may lead to the collapse of Hong Kong's economy; if they do not block it, it may trigger a chain reaction, and others may follow suit and withdraw their capital, which may also lead to Hong Kong's economic collapse.

Yang Dongsheng took the initiative to make a phone call, and the heart that Government House had been worrying for a long time suddenly fell down.

The car from the Government House arrived on time, and the atmosphere of the dinner was very pleasant.

The first head of the Government House is a very ambitious person, which can be seen from the various policies he has implemented since he came to power.

For the Hong Kong government, it doesn't matter who owns the money, it's even better if the money is in the hands of Yang Dongsheng.

The real estate developers in Hong Kong have long been unable to lose their tails, and they have done too much.

In the previous life, the Hong Kong government successively launched the Cyberport, the Chinese Medicine Port, and the Industrial Village, all of which were turned into real estate projects.

Yang Dongsheng hit these real estate tycoons hard this time, and he is willing to invest most of the money he earns in Hong Kong. It is too late for the Government House to be happy.

The next day, the Hong Kong government held a press release. Yang Dongsheng will invest 2000 billion Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong, and the Hong Kong government will also take active actions to seek economic transformation.

The stock market crash this time made the Hong Kong government once again see the vulnerability of relying on the real estate and financial industries, and strengthened its determination to enter the semiconductor industry.

Real estate developers have been hit hard, and they will not be able to add chaos to the Hong Kong government in a short time.

Director Xu's department was put on hold all of a sudden. They originally planned to tie Yang Dongsheng to the Hong Kong government to apologize, but Yang Dongsheng shook hands with the Hong Kong government to make peace!

The stock price of Cyberport continued to fall, all the way down to below 50 yuan, and Yang Dongsheng's profit has steadily exceeded 2000 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The bursting of the Internet bubble in the United States is a foregone conclusion, and James Whistler has come to Hong Kong.

Their work of shorting U.S. stocks in the United States went very smoothly. The stocks of companies such as Yahoo, Super Micro, HP, and Apple all fell sharply. Only Corning’s stock did not fall too much.

Corning is a leading optical fiber company in the United States and belongs to the upstream industry of the Internet. It will take some time for the burst of the Internet bubble to be transmitted to the upstream.

Although the final profit is still unclear, it will definitely be amazing. If the money is withdrawn from the United States, it will have to pay huge taxes, and the U.S. government will be impatient if it is uncertain. The dot-com bubble burst.

First of all, the governor of Texas has announced his participation in the general election, and Alice Company has made a large donation to the governor.

Secondly, continue to acquire domestic resources in the United States, oil and gas fields in several basins at the junction of New Mexico and Texas, and the unimin quartz placer that Yang Dongsheng has been coveting for a long time.

Under the pressure of Yang Dongsheng, You Niming's life has been very difficult in the past few years. After the Internet bubble burst, their life is bound to be even more difficult.

High-purity quartz sand can not only be used in the semiconductor industry, but also in the era of clean energy, solar cells are the major consumer.

With Unimin's high-quality quartz sand, Yang Dongsheng can manufacture the quartz crucible needed for crystal pulling.

Other investments include AMD and Apple, whose stock prices have plummeted, and luxury homes in Manhattan and Mountain View.

You can also try to acquire a film company, and then acquire comic companies such as Marvel and Dark Horse. The Avengers will be surnamed Yang in the future.

There are also red wine wineries. In the future, the demand for red wine by China's local tyrants will once exceed the actual output of major wineries by several times.

In addition, with James Whistler's current status, he should buy a private jet.

James Whistler called to inquire about the trend in the United States. The economic crisis has not yet bottomed out. There is no rush to buy stocks, luxury houses, and mines, but there is an NBA team for sale.
