Su Wenting shouted at Zheng Zhizhong in shock, "Zheng Zhizhong! Why! Wo On Lok and you have always kept to your own devices. If you do this, Wo On Lok will not let you off the hook. Sooner or later, she will come to Malaysia to seek revenge!"
"Want to know? Go ask my brother." Zheng Zhizhong turned to look at Su Wenting, who was now helpless under the muzzle of a submachine gun, his smile colder than ice, "Seek revenge against me? You don't even know who I am, how can you seek revenge against me? I don't have time to say too many farewells to you all. After I watch you all being executed, I'll be in a hurry to go to Hong Kong to arrange your funerals. After all, you should all still have savings, and I also need to make proper arrangements for your wives and daughters, so that you won't be unable to rest in peace in the afterlife. Don't worry, there are many mines and rubber plantations in Malaysia, and many workers. Many workers' wives are back in their hometowns, so Malaysia urgently needs prostitutes. I guarantee that all your mothers, wives, daughters, and other female relatives, regardless of beauty, age, or looks, will all have work after I bring them to Malaysia. You Big Brother can wear green hats and go on your way in peace. See you in the next life."
After saying that, Song Chunzhong got off the train, stood on the platform, exhaled, and smiled disdainfully, "You don't even need to use your brain to fool this kind of idiot."
Chapter 370 Temptation, Greed
"Mr. Luo, how much has Prosperity Rubber's stock price risen?" Even though Jonathan Gore's office was next to Luo Zhuankun's, he still chose to use the phone on his desk to call him.
Luo Zhuankun's voice sounded somewhat strange, "This stock has already risen to 1.38. At this rate, it will break two yuan in three days. If they plan to sell at two yuan, they can make a profit of forty or fifty million. Right now, many fools are seeing this stock rise and are placing buy orders."
"How much did you eat?" Jonathan Gore asked quietly after Luo Zhuankun finished speaking.
Luo Zhuankun hesitated for a moment. "Seven percent."
"I remember saying three days ago that you should have absorbed about 8% to 10% within two days. Why?" Jonathan Gore's tone remained completely calm and understated, seemingly angry that Luo Zhuankun had not carried out his orders.
Luo Zhuankun seemed somewhat agitated. "We have limited cash, and with our limited cash..."
"I'll give you one more chance. Don't do anything stupid that will anger me. I have no intention of stealing your job. I'll return to London after this deal. So, do as I say. I want you to hold 12% of Prosperity Rubber shares today, and then, before the market closes tomorrow, use our money to help the Lin Family push the price of Prosperity Rubber to 2.2 yuan. After the market opens the day after tomorrow, sell all your Prosperity Rubber shares." Jonathan Gore hung up the phone decisively after speaking, then looked up at Song Tianyao, who was sitting opposite him reading English newspaper: "Mr. Song, Mr. Luo doesn't seem to like me very much."
"You dismissed his plan, saying his chance was child's play." Song Tianyao put down the newspaper and said to Jonathan Gore, "If you were in his shoes, you wouldn't like yourself either."
"That makes sense."
Luo Zhuankun acted quickly. By the close of trading the next day, Prosperity Rubber's stock price had reached 2.21. Prosperity Rubber had become the most popular stock besides Xizhen Properties. Investors who had failed to buy Xizhen Properties stock turned their attention to this rubber stock.
Just as excited as the shareholders were Studwell and Tang Boqi, because the two decided to sell 6.8 million shares the next day when the stock price reached HK$2.3, cashing out Hong Kong dollars 15 million in cash. Studwell had registered a rubber trading company in the Britain, and the Hong Kong dollars 15 million cash would flow into the trading company's account before returning from the Britain to Hong Kong to clear out Prosperity Rubber's inventory. Hong Kong dollars 15 million was the largest order in Hong Kong's entrepot trade this year. This real order would not only make Hong Kong's economic figures look better on paper and make the Hong Kong Colonial Government look less bad, but it would also greatly stimulate the shareholders and attract them to continue investing.
"I feel that Prosperity Rubber's stock price seems to be rising too fast," Studwell said to Tang Boqi, who was spreading out his napkin across from him, after taking a sip of champagne at the front of the table.
Tang Boqi straightened his napkin and looked at Studwell with a puzzled expression. "Mr. Studwell, do you mean...?"
"Someone is using money to guide those shareholders and drive up the stock price, just like the stock price of Xizhen Properties. According to our previous predictions and analysis, the stock price was expected to reach two yuan tomorrow," Studwell said calmly, gazing at the amber-colored champagne in his hand.
Tang Boqi smiled at Studwell, "There are countless wealthy people from Shanghai coming to Hong Kong. One or two wealthy individuals can casually spend a few million to easily drive up the price of Prosperity Rubber. Recently, the most active funds on the exchange have all been from Shanghai."
"That's true. Compared to Shanghai people, Hong Kong's local Chinese are like timid mice. They treat the stock market like a fraudulent institution, as if putting money into the stock market will immediately result in being swindled out of everything," Studwell said leisurely, leaning back slightly.
Tang Boqi pondered for a moment, then smiled and asked Studwell, "Isn't that so?"
"Tang, I know you've been feeling a bit down lately because some of the Lins seem to have a low opinion of you, and haven't even seriously talked to you about your thoughts on the whole matter. But don't worry, once we raise enough funds in the stock market, they'll recognize your abilities. The Lin Family has many businesses, and they need talent. I'm getting old; my eldest daughter is pregnant, and my youngest son is already studying at university in Liverpool. I want to go back to Britain to retire, tend to my plants, and maybe buy a vineyard. In short, to be honest, seeing you makes me feel old. Hong Kong is a terrible little city, out of touch with the world. If an old guy like me were to go to the London financial market, I might get swindled out of everything. After this phase of work is over, I'll recommend you to take over my position, if you're willing." Studwell slowly savored the taste of the champagne and smiled at Tang Boqi.
The young Chinese-American in front of him was an exceptionally capable individual. At least Studwell wouldn't have thought of throwing a genuine Hong Kong dollars 15 million into the sea to boost the stock price of Prosperity Rubber.
