Wolf of Xiangjiang

Chapter 13 [Open low and go high]

Time has entered the new year (1978).

Although Lin Zhengjie had 270 million yuan in capital (allocation), he did not buy Wharf stocks in one day, but divided them into five trading days. He is also worried that it will cause fluctuations in the stock market and increase costs, although it is a bit "overestimating one's capabilities".

Just as the Hang Seng Index opened lower, it continued to fall from 404.05 points in the previous two weeks. As of January 1 (Friday), the Hang Seng Index fell to 13 points.

Under such market conditions, Lin Zhengjie acted cautiously. In the first week, he bought 270 million Hong Kong dollars in Wharf stocks. In the second week, he used the 20 Hong Kong dollars in raised funds and allocated another 20 Hong Kong dollars, for a total of Wharf for HK$40.

In the end, he spent a full HK$580 million to buy Wharf, at a cost of HK$13.55. In other words, Wharf stocks actually outperformed the Hang Seng Index and rose slightly (the previous cost was only HK$13.5).

At the same time, Lin Zhengjie has stopped raising funds. After all, not much money has flowed into his pocket, and what he can borrow has basically been borrowed.

In this way, the total capital he raised was HK$288 million (including Ma Yawen's HK$30), and the other 2 was his own capital, and the allocation was as high as HK$290 million.

Three months later, Lin Zhengjie needed to pay loan shark interest of 128 million Hong Kong dollars (minus commissions), as well as interest on capital allocation of more than 20 Hong Kong dollars. The total interest was about more than 150 million Hong Kong dollars.

In other words, Wharf stocks need to rise by 30% before Lin Zhengjie is out of danger. Although he knows that it will rise to more than 300%, which is 46 Hong Kong dollars, now he is focusing on the 30% safety line.

"Ajie, Wharf's stock price is already low enough, so although the Hang Seng Index fell in the past two weeks, Wharf's stock did not fall, but rose slightly by a few cents. I just don't know what the market will be like next week?"

After the market closed on Friday, Zhou Huatian and Lin Zhengjie discussed the market situation. He also recently bought 3 Hong Kong dollars in Wharf stocks.

Lin Zhengjie leaned on his chair, pretending to be relaxed and said: "I think it is impossible for the 383.44 point to fall any further. If you think about the scale of economic development, can't it support the Hong Kong stock market? Also, major real estate companies The company made a lot of money last year, and even major listed companies in Hong Kong are also making money, so there’s no reason why the stock market shouldn’t rise!”

He brought the topic up because he didn't want to discuss the Wharf issue. After all, his life and fortune were at stake, and he didn't want to change history. If the news leaks out in advance and Li Jiacheng retreats, there will be big trouble.

Zhou Huatian said: "That makes sense! If the stock continues to slump, our customers won't buy it and they won't be able to invest money in it."

Lin Zhengjie said: "That means it's the best time to buy at the bottom. Anyway, we have to defraud them of their money, otherwise how can we collect commissions."

Zhou Huatian smiled and said: "Haha, you still have a way!"

In fact, Lin Zhengjie has no intention of promoting stocks now, and his performance has not surpassed that of the "best-selling" Guo Zhiqiang, and can only be regarded as the best. Of course, as a newcomer, it’s enough to pretend to be a boss.

At the same time, Lin Zhengjie is preparing for the 'securities broker' exam, and he is preparing to officially become a qualified broker in February.

"Ajie, Deputy Manager Ma asked you to go to the office!" Ma Yawen's female assistant shouted towards Lin Zhengjie.

Suddenly, everyone looked at Lin Zhengjie with an expression on their faces.

Lin Zhengjie is a popular person around Ma Yawen. He is the person who goes to the office the most among the members of the department. If this is the case for a newcomer, then everyone will naturally doubt whether Lin Zhengjie is getting a soft meal.

"Being handsome means trouble!" Lin Zhengjie stood up and said deliberately.

"Tsk" all colleagues said in unison.

Who would admit that others are more handsome or beautiful than themselves, even though Lin Zhengjie is more handsome than everyone else.

"Naked jealousy!" Lin Zhengjie provoked everyone again.

"How awesome you are now, how embarrassed you will be in the office later!" He Fangtang said with a smile.

Just wait and see, these animals!

Lin Zhengjie didn't like Ma Yawen. After all, he was almost eight or nine years older and had a lot of trouble. Otherwise, based on his ability, there would already be a bed warmer by now.

Walk into Ma Yawen's office.

"Are you free on the weekend to go shopping with me and Xiaoyin?" Ma Yawen said suddenly.

Lin Zhengjie was stunned, he didn't expect that things really happened like this!
As soon as this kind of thing was brought up, Ma Yawen must have a big plan, maybe she wanted to find a stepfather for her daughter Xiaoyin.

"Manager, there is no problem with shopping, but I only have a few hours, from 9 am to 3 pm at most. I can't leave Rainbow Village for too long." "Why?"

"It's not convenient to tell you this!"

Why else? He is basically returning to Rainbow Village after get off work now to reassure his creditors and prevent his family from being too disturbed. After all, there are only two women in the family, and it would be impossible without him as a man.

Although Lin Zhengjie is "very bad" - he thought in his mind that if he went bankrupt, he would run away alone; but under conditions, he is still willing to take responsibility.

Ma Yawen was a little unhappy, but he didn't bother. He said specifically: "Don't think too much, we just need someone to carry the bag that day. I can help you for a few hours. After all, I have helped you."

In fact, if she did this, wouldn't she be letting go? Otherwise, would she let an annoying man follow her shopping?
Lin Zhengjie said: "If I hadn't been in trouble, my 24-hour service manager would have been fine!"

Ma Yawen really helped him. She personally operated the investment in Wharf, and her methods were very good. Moreover, the capital allocation was also a personal matter, and she also borrowed 30 Hong Kong dollars. Even in the company, he has benefited more or less.

All in all, this woman was very nice to him.

"Go away, you think I don't want to see you 24 hours a day!" Ma Yawen scolded with a smile, and then said: "I will take you home later, and I will drive to pick you up on the weekend!"

Damn it, this woman really doesn't like him anymore, this is not a good thing.

Lin Zhengjie thought so.

In the evening, Ma Yawen took her daughter Guo Yin back to her parents' home.

Ma Yawen's father is a Hong Kong barrister and her brother is also a lawyer, but she herself graduated in finance. Later, according to the introduction of her parents, she married a member of the Guo family in Yong'an. The marriage ended in divorce only two years later, and she gave birth to a daughter because the other party was too philandering.

"Dad, let me borrow the car for the weekend!" Ma Yawen took the time to say.

Her sports car was a two-seater, and she suddenly found it inconvenient, so she went back to her parents' house to borrow a car.

Dad Ma asked curiously: "Isn't a sports car suitable for you to take Yin Yin out with?"

Ma Yawen blushed and said, "I made an appointment with a friend!"

For a time, the family members became concerned.

"Is it male or female?"

Children can't lie, so Guo Yin immediately said: "I heard he is an uncle!"

This time, Ma Yawen immediately regretted coming back to borrow the car!
Dad Ma said in a reasonable manner: "We were careless back then and allowed you to be harmed by that boy from the Guo family. Now that Yinyin is almost five years old, you have the right to choose your own future life."

Ma Yawen said quickly: "Dad, it's either that or a colleague of our company. I asked him to carry our bags for us. I'm nine years older than him. It's impossible!"

Ma's parents, Ma's mother, Ma's brother, Ma's wife, etc. were half convinced. Ma Yawen had not had a good impression of men since her marriage failed.

"It doesn't matter if it's small, as long as the person is honest!"

Ma Yawen was helpless and silent. In fact, she really liked Lin Zhengjie, who was always confident and resourceful. But she also knew that given the age gap between the two and the fact that she had a daughter, it was almost impossible.

She was even thinking these days that if Lin Zhengjie failed in stock trading, she could support this man and win over Lin Zhengjie. After all, with Lin Zhengjie's ability, he will definitely be able to make a comeback in his career.

If Lin Zhengjie knew Ma Yawen's thoughts, he would probably fall out. He couldn't fail, because if he failed, he would be ruined and his debts would be collected.

Ma Yawen did not know that Lin Zhengjie was borrowing money from usury because Lin Zhengjie said that he had won the Mark Six Lottery.

If she knew that Lin Zhengjie was borrowing loan sharks to speculate in Wharf stocks, Ma Yawen would probably quit in the face of difficulties, because this kind of man has too much gambling ambitions and might one day harm her and her daughter.
