Chapter 97 Strong Takeover

Now that the Hongmen is no longer a hindrance, Li Zhenzhen can finally let go and act boldly.

Now that the Hongmen is no longer behind the scenes, it means that the only banker who can target Kowloon Warehouse is PD Fund Company, and they have absolute initiative.

When the stock price fell in the morning, most retail investors were still watching, and they actually had hope in their hearts.

But as time passed, not only did no banker take action to push up the price, even the top management of Kowloon Warehouse maintained a subtle attitude of not paying attention. Now retail investors could not sit still and hurried to find out the news.

The undercover agents of PD Fund Company had been lurking in the stock hall for a long time, and this was a great opportunity for them to spread rumors.

In the 1960s, the Hong Kong Stock Hall was crowded with people. Various staff, traders and retail investors walked around inside, which seemed particularly lively, just like a vegetable market. This was the gathering place for all kinds of gossip.

In the corner of the stock hall, a young man in a suit and tie, who looked like a mixed-race person, seemed to be a staff member here, standing in the middle of a group of retail investors, and said mysteriously: "Hey, have you heard it?"

The retail investors who often hang out in the stock hall, as soon as they heard the beginning, knew that this staff member probably had something to say, and they couldn't help holding their breath and raising their ears high, ready to listen to what this person was going to say.

It is worth mentioning that in the Hong Kong stock market in the 1960s, retail investors were generally foreigners, and Chinese were rare. These foreigners were all migrant workers in Hong Kong, and only they had the leisure and spare money to trade stocks.

Seeing that everyone was attracted by his words, the young man's eyes flashed with pride, and he said more mysteriously: "My cousin is a white man who works in Kowloon Wharf Group. He recently told me a secret. Do you want to know?"

The young man just started a conversation, with a sly smile on his lips, and looked at the group of people leisurely.

Soon someone said anxiously: "Tell us about it. If the news is true, we will not treat you badly, don't you think so?"

The people around nodded in agreement, which is also a common practice here.

The young man then began to say: "Listen carefully, my uncle told me that Kowloon Warehouse is in a financial crisis! It is operating at a loss! It will soon be unable to operate!"

Everyone present was immediately shocked. After a moment of deathly silence, someone immediately questioned: "Is this impossible? I have seen Kowloon Warehouse's financial statements for the last quarter. Last year's turnover and net profit were higher than in previous years. How could there be a financial crisis?"

Facing everyone's suspicious eyes, the young man first sneered, and then said calmly: "A while ago, the United States just broke out a scandal of financial fraud by a listed company. You Don't tell me you haven't heard of it. Hehehe... It's just a financial statement. You can falsify it with just a little effort. How can it be impossible? "

These people couldn't believe it. Someone else said, "Kowloon Warehouse is such a big company, and it's also a long-established British company. It has been operating well. It must be different from those American companies. I don't believe it."

The young man's face showed a hint of contempt, and he asked back, "Since you said that Kowloon Warehouse made so much profit last year, did you get any dividends?"
