I'm back in 1990

Chapter 275: Hush Money

香港证券交易所创立于1947年，远东证券交易所创立于1969年12月17日。金银证券交易所创立于1971年9月15日，九龙证券交易所创立于1972年。

On March 27, 1986, the four exchanges officially merged to form the United Exchange, which later became the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

On April 2, 1986, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (HKEX) opened for business and began to enjoy the exclusive right to establish, operate, and maintain the securities market in Hong Kong. The HKEX commenced operations and became the sole stock exchange in Hong Kong.

Therefore, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange that Huang Xiaochuan and his group went to is still called the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

As a free port in Asia, the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong (HKEX) has virtually no barriers to entry for foreign investors. As a result, many investment institutions around the world trade Hong Kong stocks and various futures and options on the HKEX. These derivative products include stock index, stock and interest rate futures and options.

Knowing the convenience of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Ding Yi had the idea of ​​speculating in Hong Kong stocks. However, this time he was only here to investigate and learn. He needed to collect a lot of data for relevant analysis. After all, the operating methods and capital volume of the mainland stock market were still inferior to those of the Hong Kong stock market.

To make money, you must first understand the rules, and then use those rules and funds to earn legitimate profits. Ding Yi used to be invincible in the mainland stock market because the mainland securities industry had a short history and there were very few people who were proficient in the securities industry.

However, Hong Kong is different. Its securities industry has gradually matured, and it is home to many financial giants. In the future, Ding Yi will be facing world-renowned investment institutions as well as Hong Kong's financial tycoons. Compared to these institutions and Hong Kong financial giants, Ding Yi's achievements in mainland China will be insignificant.

The Stock Exchange is open to the public. Visitors can enter the Stock Exchange through the visitor entrance and receive guided tours.

After Huang Xiaochuan and his group entered, they saw that the trading center had several hundred seats, each representing a trader. They wore numbered vests, kept their phones close at hand, and kept their eyes glued to the large screen.

According to the guide, the average daily turnover of Hong Kong stocks exceeded HK$4.5 billion last year, and is expected to exceed HK$5 billion this year.

After the visit, Ding Yi obtained a large amount of information from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, but it was not comprehensive. Huang Xiaochuan had asked HSBC to help him obtain some more detailed information, which would be sent directly to Shanghai.

Zhang Yun, on the other hand, directly consulted with the staff of the Stock Exchange in fluent English and immediately completed the account opening procedures, a scene that left Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi looking at each other in bewilderment.

After leaving the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, Zhang Yun wanted to treat everyone to a meal.

"Let's go! I know a place with really authentic Cantonese food, I'll take you there to try it."

Huang Xiaochuan was also impressed by this woman. Whenever she wasn't working, she couldn't stop talking about food. However, what Huang Xiaochuan didn't expect was that Zhang Yun had another quirk that made the soles of his feet hurt.

But it's a good thing if someone's treating you, so why not take advantage of it!

"Okay! As long as you cover our meals for today, we'll stick with you for the day." Huang Xiaochuan casually joked, but he soon regretted his joke and wanted to slap himself a few times.

It has to be admitted that having a foodie as a guide really allows you to eat delicious food. Although it's just ordinary Hong Kong roast meats and home-style dishes, the quality is absolutely top-notch. So, shark fin and abalone are not the only way to have a great meal.

However, the family that Zhang Yun brought with them was not cheap. The lunch for the five of them cost more than a thousand Hong Kong dollars, which was equivalent to more than two months' wages for a worker in mainland China.

However, this was nothing surprising to Dog Dahu and Ding Baochang.

After dinner, Ms. Catherine started another mode of her life: shopping. Moreover, she had four strong men to help her carry her bags, so her presence and aura were quite impressive. No matter which store she went to, she received top-tier treatment. The key point is that she was also willing to spend money on herself.

If it weren't for the fact that this woman had the power to fail them and Huang Xiaochuan's boastful words, Huang Xiaochuan and Ding Yi would have run away long ago. But now they can only follow behind as his lackeys.

"Holy crap! Two hours already? How come this woman doesn't get tired?" Ding Yi asked Huang Xiaochuan in horror, staring at Zhang Yun's figure.

Huang Xiaochuan looked helpless. Both of his hands were busy, carrying cosmetics, clothes, and accessories that Ms. Catherine had bought.

Of course, the other three weren't empty-handed either, which shows this woman's terrifying purchasing power.

Huang Xiaochuan was so angry that he started cursing, "Who the hell invented credit cards? If they dare stand in front of me, I'll beat them to death!"

Zhang Yun used an American Express card for shopping, which was a real problem. Even if you carried a whole suitcase full of cash, Huang Xiaochuan wouldn't be afraid. Once the money was spent, the shopping would naturally end.

But you're carrying a card, how are you supposed to know what the credit limit is? And it's an American Express card, too?

Huang Xiaochuan became even more curious about Zhang Yun's background. Why would such a wealthy woman become a teacher at the University of Finance and Economics?

As they walked, Zhang Yun entered another women's clothing store. Huang Xiaochuan looked at the storefront and exclaimed, "Wow! 'Baijiali'? After wandering around for so long, she ended up in her own store!"

Huang Xiaochuan and the others didn't go inside. Instead, they leaned against the railing of the corridor outside the door to rest for a while and relax their feet.

As it turned out, Ms. Catherine had no intention of letting Huang Xiaochuan off the hook.

"Huang Xiaochuan, come in! Help me see what I think of this dress?" Zhang Yun called Huang Xiaochuan in as soon as she came out of the dressing room.

Damn it! This is so unlucky, there's no escaping it!

Ding Yi waved his hand as if sending away a plague god, telling Huang Xiaochuan to hurry up and go in to serve him, so that the sooner they finished buying, the sooner it would be over.

Upon seeing Huang Xiaochuan, Zhang Yun showed him the clothes: "How is it? Does it look good?"

At this moment, a shop assistant's mouth formed an "o" shape because she recognized Huang Xiaochuan, but Huang Xiaochuan did not recognize her. This shop assistant was the store manager of this specialty store, someone Huang Xiaochuan had personally promoted. Huang Xiaochuan had long forgotten about her, but this store manager remembered her very clearly.

Seeing that Zhang Yun didn't treat Huang Xiaochuan like an outsider and even tried on clothes for him to see, he mistakenly thought Zhang Yun was the boss's wife. He immediately made a phone call to the general manager's assistant and told him that the boss and his wife were in her store.

Charlie Cho's assistant didn't dare to neglect the matter and immediately reported it to Charlie Cho.

Charlie Cao was completely bewildered. He thought to himself, "I didn't hear Mr. Huang bring his wife when I was with him last night. And he didn't say he was going to inspect the store either. Could he be on a secret visit?"

Now that we know the big boss is at the store, let's hurry over and show our faces! Let's hear what instructions the big boss has, and whether he's found out some problems again.

The company was located in Central, not far from this store. Charlie Cao, along with the marketing director, design director, and a group of senior executives from various departments, jogged all the way to the store.

Keep in mind that the Central Ring Road has heavy traffic and many one-way streets, so walking is faster than taking a car.

Hong Kong has finally entered winter, and everyone was sweating profusely in the 10-degree Celsius temperature.

Upon arriving at the store, the group of senior executives, led by Cao Charlie, bowed slightly in unison to greet Huang Xiaochuan: "Mr. Huang!"

This scene left Ding Yi, who was resting outside, completely bewildered. What was going on? Why were so many people coming to pay their respects to the tycoon?

Moreover, all the men were dressed in suits and ties, and the women were also dressed in professional skirts with silk stockings on their legs.

Zhang Yun kept blinking, looking at Huang Xiaochuan and then at the people who had suddenly appeared, completely bewildered.

"Why are you here?" Huang Xiaochuan looked displeased; now he couldn't hide what had happened in Hong Kong from him anymore.

Charlie Cao thought to himself, "If you weren't my boss, I would have asked you that question too!"

"We came over as soon as the store manager reported that you were inspecting the store. If there is anything we did wrong, please point it out, Mr. Huang, and we will make corrections immediately."

"I'm not here to inspect the work. I'm just accompanying a friend shopping. There's nothing to do here. You can go do whatever you want!" Huang Xiaochuan immediately told them to leave.

Zhang Yun listened intently from the side. She never expected that this young man was actually the boss of these white-collar workers. So, this well-known Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian brand store also belongs to him? This kid has been hiding his true intentions quite well.

Charlie Cao quickly sent all the senior executives back to the company, while he stayed behind.

Zhang Yun's eyes darted around, and she did something that made Ding Yi's jaw drop.

She hugged Huang Xiaochuan's arm and shook it, saying, "Darling, I love all these clothes, will you give them to me?"

Damn, Huang Xiaochuan was so startled that he got goosebumps all over. Is this woman crazy?

When Ding Yi witnessed this scene, he was so frightened that he quickly rubbed his eyes, afraid that he was seeing things. But he wasn't mistaken. Ms. Catherine was practically on top of the big shot. This was a huge scandal! Who would have thought that Huang Xiaochuan was such a heartless man, two-timing and even hooking up with his teacher? A teacher-student romance?

Huang Xiaochuan immediately broke free from Zhang Yun's hand and avoided her as if she were a plague god.

Charlie Cao looked up at the ceiling, pretending not to see it.

Zhou Wei and He Wenfeng turned their backs to each other in tacit agreement.

In the end, the clothes were still charged to Huang Xiaochuan. Ding Yi also picked out more than a dozen outfits for Qi Huan without any politeness. That guy didn't hold back at all. Huang Xiaochuan was left speechless and had no choice but to accept the situation. Ding Gun Gun had seen what happened earlier, so he decided to consider these clothes as hush money.
