(I posted the wrong post at 5 o'clock in the morning today. I have already changed it back. Book friends who saw the wrong chapter before 6:30 can go back and reload it and read it.)

While Watson was whitewashed, a siege was kicking off in the capital market of Xiangjiang.

The pest and diseases in New Zealand are gradually fermenting. Although local officials are desperately blocking the news, more and more inside stories are still exposed.

Even if it is not known to the public for the time being, the mass media will not be allowed to report it, but there are always rumors from investors that can be distributed in a timely manner.

Capital is always the most sensitive.

"Recently, New Zealand has discovered/detected 17 pests and diseases that have not been seen before, including new species of insects and crop disease bacteria and viruses from outside. It is expected that the species isolation level in the region will drop to the same level as neighboring Australia, thousands of kilometers away."

"Because the summer climate in the southern hemisphere is strangled in the early stages, the possibility of extermination of the above diseases and pests is very small, and at least 15 types of insects, bacteria and viruses are expected to reproduce smoothly.

Moreover, when most species were discovered, they had already spread from the South Island to the North Island. In the long run, it is expected that the valuation of New Zealand's animal husbandry real estate will fall to the same level as Australia, losing additional positive value-added factors such as "organic/no specific diseases and pests/no specific types of pesticides".

Because earlier this year, due to the large number of international hot money hoarding land speculation, New Zealand's animal husbandry assets have appreciated by more than 25% this year compared with the average price in the first half of the year, but now they have plummeted by 40%, falling to 75% of the average price in the first half of the year. International speculators are suspected of losing heavy losses."

...

The above news reached Xiangjiang, and on the surface most people did not respond.

Including Sir Shao, the King of Ship, and other Xiangjiang Patriotic Capital besides the Huo family, they all remained silent.

However, their inner shock was beyond measure.

Why did the Argentinians make such a mess that implicate the New Zealanders?

As for Kong Shangzhong, who has a background in the British Pacific, he was deceiving guests in a closed door as if he had lost his parents.

At the beginning, he tried to encourage investors' confidence in private on multiple occasions, and the problem of cheating everyone was still within controllable scope.

However, several small media outlets were very disrespectful and spread negative news wildly on the island, and almost no one of the speculators was fooled again - unless it was a vegetable-selling aunt-level stockholder who had really not made it well-informed, he might be caught.

"Take me those unscrupulous tabloids who talk nonsense!" The angry Kong Shangzhong began to rush to jump over the wall, using the power behind him to attack the uncooperative media.

Those who engage in media always have some things that are not serious about attracting attention, and they can also pick mistakes. However, since the negotiations started, the Brittanians wanted to claim that they had let go of their ways of speaking, but now this has made Hong Kong citizens see the true face of the thief.

"Lu Renjia! Your newspaper is suspected of spreading rumors and disrupting financial order! Take it away!"

"Xiao Jueser! The Xiangjiang Morning Post is suspected of slandering and defaming the goodwill of the victims! Take it away!"

Several media people were taken away by Kong Shangzhong's black hand with their backs.

But this is just a temporary suffering before dawn, and these mysterious people will soon turn the story.

Even before the end of November, Kong Shangzhong was abandoned by his teammates.

...

One day in late November, half a month after the news broke in New Zealand.

An uninvited guest was welcomed in a luxury house at 30 Baijia Road, Shanding, Xiangjiang.

Kong Shangzhong personally welcomed the door of the garden wall: "Lord Vickers? You are here, so you don't inform me..."

When he was polite, Kong Shangzhong had an ominous premonition in his heart.

This Lord Vickers is a senior executive of HSBC Group and one of the behind-the-scenes controllers of HSBC Bank. In the middle of the year, Kong Shangzhong needed HSBC's financing of hundreds of billions of Hong Kong dollars, which was handled by Lord Vickers.

Lord Vickers first came straight into the house with a expressionless face, sat down on the sofa, and then went straight to the point: "Hok, given the assets you have laid out in New Zealand, it is difficult to have the possibility of waiting for the market value to rebound before recovering. So, in order to stop the loss, the board decided to stop your mortgage financing unless you add more collateral."

Kong Shangzhong's own money, and even the money that his shares in Swire can mortgage, is not enough to personally manage such a large project, so of course he needs several times the leverage "mortgage".

However, with the prices of related industries in New Zealand being 25% lower than the purchase price in the first half of the year, Kong Shangzhong's personal mortgaged assets obviously can no longer hold back this gap.

You should know that because of his pre-speculation, in September and October, the real estate prices in New Zealand were 25% higher than those in the middle of the year. In other words, when Kong Shangzhong was absorbing funds, he did not absorb according to the original price in the first half of the year, but was an average premium of more than 10% over the first half of the year.

I originally wanted to hold my hands in my hand and wait for Xiangjiang Capital to panic and flee to take over, but it fell to one-third of his average price of funds.

Therefore, as long as the loan leverage reaches twice the principal, the position will be overturned.

Kong Shangzhong shouted at the sky and asked: "Lord Vickers! You can't stand by death and refuse to save you. You should know that this is a sudden black swan incident. Maybe some international conspiracy forces are harming the British Empire!"

Lord Vickers had a blank expression: "Kong, we are all professionals. When we are doing business, you should know the principles of HSBC. I don't care whether you are a black swan or a black swan. As for you, it is even less believed in it. We only believe in money and do business.

We are providing you with loan financing, not investing in partnership with you. You should be clear about this. If you make a lot of money, you will not give us extra money, but will only give us interest, right? Either add mortgage or allow us to force closing positions. I'll inform you that I respect you very much."

Originally, when encountering such an emergency, the bank could force the position to close the position without saying a word and auction off the mortgaged property.

Kong Shangzhong laughed sadly, with a tendency to be dysfunctional: "You can't treat me like this! You know that I have even mortgaged this manor! And my inventory of movable property, what else can I mortgage it? I have made meritorious for the Federation, I have shed blood for the Queen, you can't do this! I want to meet the Governor, and I want to appeal to the Governor!"

Lord Vickers: "You are here to inform you."

Three days later, the HSBC Bank's mortgage auction was held in a hurry in Xiangjiang.

There is no way. The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the more the subject matter in your hand depreciates, and maybe it will not be fully compensated and will leave bad debts.

As for the ranches and other assets that Kong Shangzhong had not yet sold in New Zealand, most of them did not even have auctions in Xiangjiang. They were forced to be disposed of in New Zealand, which was slightly lower than the market price, allowing locals to bid.

People in Xiangjiang are not interested in raising unorganic cows in New Zealand. They are investing in value-added, not producing them.

...

When the news from Xiangjiang reached Gu Ao who was in Watsonton, he had just had a relationship with William Clark for only two days.

It was Han Ting who called Gu Ao to notify him.

After clearing the suspicion and making friends with heavyweight enough to form common interests to prevent future troubles, Gu Ao heard the good news and of course he had to go into battle lightly, so he brought the equipment he had produced by fighting monsters.

"Thank you, I will fly to Xiangjiang tomorrow and return to the United States immediately after attending the auction. Please help me do some preparations first." Gu Ao ordered with great enthusiasm.

Han Ting: "Don't you have to be low-key? Aren't you afraid of being framed by Kong Shangzhong? Besides, the auction has nothing to do with you. This is the place to spend money. What you need now is to make money."

Gu Ao: "What are you afraid of? Kong Shangzhong and I have a commercial competitive relationship. If he fails to do anything, others will think I am scary. Young people just want to be arrogant. If they are not arrogant, they will call them young people?

As for money, you don’t have to worry. The market price of Mr. Huo cooperated with me has soared this month. Since the accident in New Zealand, the people watching on both sides immediately took the lead. In November, Vancouver’s housing prices soared by 20% compared with early October.

And it is not that there is an inflated fluctuation without volume, but that the volume and price are really rising! The transaction volume is also soaring! At present, we have sold 10,000 high-end residential properties, with shipments exceeding 60%. The remaining late trading will basically be clean before the end of next year, and the remaining idiot late trading will be within 5% at most.

Han Ting heard it on the phone and was secretly shocked.

This was the first time she knew the specific scale of Gu Ao's plate.

Vancouver's current housing prices, even for apartments, have to go up by $50,000 for each household. The villa has even increased to $150,000.

Compared with Xiangjiang, where every inch of land is valuable, this price is not expensive, but for Canada, which has a vast land and sparse population, the increase is already amazing. It is almost equivalent to a miracle created by an ordinary port city with no fist industry, relying on the favorable policies and markets out of thin air.

If you have already lost ten thousand households, you will have to get about $1 billion in principal to return it.

To be honest, this money is several times more than the money Gu Ao has earned from working hard in business.

It’s also a blessing that Gu Ao is not very interested in money. The purpose of doing things is not just for money, so he did not give up his pursuit of life and became degenerate.

Han Ting asked herself, if she had so much money, what kind of career would she do? At least she wouldn't feel accomplished about her current career anymore.

"Then I'll wait for you." Han Ting no longer doubted, and after finalizing it, she hung up the phone.

This time, Gu Ao is really going to play the drama of returning home in glory.

All the bigwigs of Xiangjiang Capital will know that the market rules here will be decided by that despicable alien.

No matter whether you have a British-funded HSBC or a Swire, you can't stop Gu Ao's vicious plan.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Ao drove to school very sincerely and asked Professor Kissinger for leave in person instead of choosing to call.

Gu Ao: "Professor, give me two days off and I'll go back to Xiangjiang."

Kissinger was angry and funny: "How much time have you been studying hard this semester? You just came back from a long holiday two months ago! You will graduate in two months!"

Gu Ao: "So, I only have two days this time, plus one weekend, which is enough."

"Go! Go! Go!"

In the fourth update, so there are still 10 more left to be debts.

I originally planned to update the third day of the morning, but I posted a wrong chapter at around 5 o'clock in the morning. After I corrected it, I was afraid that people who got up early to read the book would not see it, so I had to update another chapter. This chapter was just finished.

So, there will be no third update tomorrow, and the second update will be restored.

Anyway, I will definitely pay back the 10th update in March.
Chapter completed!
