Chapter 343: Layout of Neon
Fang Hexuan had no worries at all as Luo Haorong openly shorted all the real estate listed companies involved in the Tin Shui Wai plan.

He was not afraid that the Hong Kong government would suspect that the information was leaked. This kind of thing, like pregnancy, after a long time, even if the person involved did not say anything, outsiders could guess roughly.

In addition to real estate companies, several banks and financial companies that provide financing, as well as some infrastructure materials companies, are all on Fang Hexuan's short-selling list.

Of course, the profits Fang Hexuan could make from this short selling alone would definitely not be enough to make up for his expenses outside, but a small amount is still meat, tens of millions are not too little, and hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars are not too much.

As for whether it would offend the companies that you shorted, you are overthinking it. In Hong Kong, the Asian financial center, buying long and selling short is normal, as long as it is not malicious short selling.

If you really decide to short sell maliciously, would you be afraid of offending the other party?

After Luo Haorong left, Fang Hexuan called Chen Songqing again, calling it a "dinner date."

This meeting was not held at sea, but in a Western restaurant in Lan Kwai Fong.

Lan Kwai Fong has not officially opened yet, but some shops inside have already started to welcome customers, especially bars, restaurants and hotels. Many foreigners who work in Central have already started to check in here.

It was actually noon now, so there was nothing wrong with "making a dinner appointment". Fang Hexuan ordered a hamburger and steak combo for himself and did not make a decision for Chen Songqing.

Before lunch was served, Fang Hexuan looked at the other party carefully and said jokingly:
"It seems that Mr. Chen has been doing well these days. Although he has more white hair, his complexion is much better than before."

Chen Songqing drank a sip of soda water and retorted:

"I've been thinking about how to legally sell Jianing's assets to you every day. I don't know how many brain cells have died and how many gray hairs I have. Isn't it all thanks to you, the richest man Fang?"

Fang Hexuan was not angry either. He had taken advantage of the other person and had a firm grasp on his weak spot. He would not lose a piece of meat if he was mocked by the other person. He smiled and said:

"Look at it from a bright side. Mr. Chen, you can be considered to have retired early. You won't have to face the intrigues of the business world anymore, unlike the rest of us who are born to work hard."

How could this be comfort? Chen Songqing snorted and stopped talking, turning his head to look around the restaurant.

"I have a piece of news that can help Mr. Chen avoid losses and make a small profit. Are you interested in listening?"

Turning his head and looking at Fang Hexuan's smiling face, he asked suspiciously:

"Mr. Fang, we have known each other for a long time. I know who you are. Tell me, what are your conditions?"

Fang Hexuan nodded. They were all smart people, so they should be more careful when speaking.

The other party did not ask whether this message could really make money, but directly asked what the conditions were. In fact, he had just quickly analyzed the situation in his mind.

"It's not a condition. We have already agreed on this. You should sell the Golden Gate Building back to Wanda as soon as possible. I want to get the money as soon as possible."

This time, Chen Songqing glanced at the other party with some disdain. He felt that Fang Hexuan was far inferior to himself in cultivating qi.

"Tell me, what's the news?"

This means he agreed. Fang Hexuan smiled and moved closer to the other party, whispering:
"In a few days, the Hong Kong government will announce that it will spend money to reclaim the land in Tin Shui Wai. I don't need to say more about the consequences."

Hearing this, Chen Songqing's expression remained unchanged, but a cold light flashed in his eyes.

The share price of Jianing Investment, which was transformed from the original Mei-Han Enterprise, was already low enough. If it were to suffer from this public opinion storm again, it would be lucky if it could drop by 10% or 20%.

Knowing this news, Chen Songqing could make early arrangements, at least release some good news in advance, so that the stock price would not fall too much. In addition, he could also take the opportunity to short sell some of the shares he held, and it would not be a problem to make a small profit.

That’s right, Chen Songqing still has some shares of Jianing Investment held through white gloves, which can be bought and sold at any time.

At this point, shorting one's own stocks is not unacceptable to many people.

If we think about it further, in addition to our own stocks, all listed companies related to the Tin Shui Wai plan can be shorted.

The more Chen Songqing thought about it, the more he felt that it was a good deal to speed up the transfer of the Golden Gate Building in exchange for this news.

Most of the personal funds he had been actively preparing for his escape had been transferred to overseas accounts, which can also participate in stock market transactions in Hong Kong.

Although the amount of money is not much, just over 300 million Hong Kong dollars, but if you plan to short sell in advance, I can’t imagine how much more it would be, but at least you would have tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which would definitely be enough to buy a private island in the Caribbean.

······
On July 7, the Chinese Manufacturers' Association of Hong Kong organized a delegation to officially visit the mainland. Because there were so many people joining the visit, it even alarmed TVB to go to Kai Tak Airport for an on-site interview.

Among these people, there are naturally some real estate company owners.

Although the opening up of the mainland's real estate market is still a long way off, it does not mean that Hong Kong real estate companies have no opportunities.

For example, they can go to the mainland to build hotels, renovate commercial streets, and construct highways.

Even many places in Guangdong have appropriately opened up their doors to allow Hong Kong businessmen to develop some real estate projects locally.

Therefore, it is not surprising that real estate companies joined the visiting group.

However, what they didn't know was that just when they left the base camp to look for opportunities, their base camp was robbed by two bad guys.

On July 7, Hong Kong Governor Youde returned to the UK to report on his work as usual.

On July 7, the Hong Kong government officially announced that it would spend HK$29 billion to reclaim the land in Tin Shui Wai, and the plan to build a new town in Tin Shui Wai with a population of 22.58 was aborted.

On that day, Hong Kong's three major markets: stock market, property market, and land market were all shaken.

And on this day, 5 days had passed since Fang Hexuan completed his position building.

The Hong Kong stock market fell 101 points, dragged down by a dozen real estate, banking and infrastructure stocks.

However, this was just the beginning, and neither Fang Hexuan nor Chen Songqing were in a hurry.

Looking at the numbers in the account, although he knew he had made money, Mr. Fang had no time to get excited.

He was in his office studying an industry analysis report on the neon machine tool and display panel industries from an international consulting firm.

The advantage of a time traveler is that he doesn’t know the details but knows the general trend.

Within this year, there happened to be a good opportunity for Fang Hexuan to get involved in these two industries.

What he needs to do now is to collect as much accurate intelligence and information as possible to gain significant bargaining chips for himself!
