Chapter 452 The time has come
On April 4st, April Fools' Day in the West, a giant cargo ship carrying several automobile production lines from thousands of miles away finally arrived at the Hong Kong port.

After Wang Deming brought his men on board to inspect the ship, he did not allow anyone to unload the ship and returned to the top floor of the Recreation Building in Central.

After calling over the general manager of HSBC's subsidiary, Woduoli Finance, he directly instructed him: "Starting tomorrow, keep an eye on the changes in the Hong Kong stock market."

"Especially Jardine Matheson and Swire!"

Seeing that the other party was still a little unnatural, Wang Deming smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have already talked to Shen Bi!"

"Yes!" The other party bowed his head and left.

Wang Deming smiled. Is it possible that a war is about to break out in South America?

On April 4, Britain and Argentina finally went to war on the island of Venus del Mar.

The UK then released high-profile news, claiming that it had absolute advantage, and the Hong Kong stock market rose accordingly.

Especially the straight people in Hong Kong, they seemed to have a brain orgasm and started dreaming in broad daylight. In the talk shows of two TV stations, they talked about the glory of the British Empire, as if Argentina in South America could be destroyed at will.

In his conversation, he would occasionally hint that one island is in South America and the other is in Asia.
Wang Deming pressed the phone button, called his secretary, and pointed at the middle-aged man who was talking on TV. The secretary immediately took out a pen and paper, wrote it down, and turned and left.

There was a very excellent TV series in my previous life called "The Story of the Editorial Department".

There is a line in it that is very explosive.

Someone asked: Do you know why it took us eight years to fight the War of Resistance Against Japan?

Someone answered: Because of the weapons? Because of the soldiers? Because of the economy? Because
The person who asked the question just shook his head, and finally he gave the answer: it is because there are too many traitors in China.

In the famous model opera "Sha Jia Bang", didn't A Qing Sao ask a very profound question: Is their surname Jiang or Wang?
However, since he has made the choice, he must accept the consequences. Wang Deming felt that he needed to wait until 97 to push the country to implement the National Security Law in Hong Kong.

After turning off the TV, Wang Deming called Shen Bi of HSBC and asked him to confirm it with the general manager of Huoduoli.

If you delay your plans, there are many places to use the concrete pillars in Victoria Harbour.

Shen Bi of HSBC had been a top executive for many years and knew Wang Deming well, especially he understood Wang Deming's covetousness for several foreign banks in Hong Kong.

If someone really delayed his plan, it would not only be Walter, but also himself in HSBC, who might suddenly be killed one day after retirement.

He quickly called the general manager of Huodoli to his side and taught him by example. Fortunately, the general manager of Huodoli was his confidant and he promoted him.

So after the Hong Kong stock market had been falling for nearly a year, when the Anglo-Arab War began to stir, a force quietly entered the Hong Kong stock market.

After thinking it over in his mind, Wang Deming returned to his home in Hong Kong.

By the 80s, the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact, which were mainly based on heavy industry, faced even greater pressure in light industry and daily life, especially in the ongoing space war with the United States, which was extremely costly.

Therefore, Diana was reused and sent to Hong Kong again to purchase a large amount of light industrial daily necessities.

Although at this time in places like Manzhouli in northern China bordering the Soviet Union, there were already China's first generation of traders who were secretly bartering on both sides of the border.

The Soviet Union provided steel and gasoline, while China provided grain, canned food, Erguotou, cotton-padded clothes, etc.

Wang Deming didn't need to set up a new trading company. Hutchison Whampoa was originally mainly engaged in trading, and so was Wheelock.

Therefore, he arranged for Hutchison Whampoa and Wheelock to make large purchases on the mainland and then ship them directly to the Soviet Union.

Another point is that they were planning to open a branch of Hang Seng Bank in the Soviet Union. There are many different opinions on how the Soviet Union collapsed, but one thing is that its financial system was completely open to Western banks, which was a very big reason.

Some people say that it is a true public ownership system, but in fact it is not, it is just a shareholding system.

Later, the Soviet Union carried out reforms and corporatized all the original state-owned enterprises. Every worker had a share in the original factory. Although these shares eventually turned into paper, at the beginning, the Soviet people wanted to shout to the sky, "Good days are coming!"

They had already seen the various privileges enjoyed by senior executives in the Soviet government over the past few decades as a volcano about to erupt, ready to break through the mountain and burst out at any time.

This move helped to ease the resentment of the lower-class people towards the Soviet top structures.

However, stocks are not money after all. It just so happened that the Soviet Union opened up its financial sector. After Western banks moved in, their service style, which was completely different from the Soviet Union’s original state-owned banks, instantly won the favor of the Soviet grassroots people.

They sold or mortgaged their stocks to Western banks at a price 20% higher than the market price at that time.
Use money to improve your life.

Of course, not yet, but it is necessary to plan as early as possible.

The Wang's Manor is now very deserted. The children are either studying in Beijing or studying abroad, so Wang Deming and several wives moved back to the manor in Repulse Bay.

When they got home, the four of them played mahjong together as usual, all smiling: "Oh, the master is back!"

"But I haven't seen you for a while. Are you going to give us a new sister?"

The speaker was Zhang Shouchun. She said this because Wang Deming had a different opinion of several female stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Wang Deming rolled his eyes, "How much did you win playing mahjong today?"

"Why don't you go to Chunqiu Film and Television and keep an eye on it?"

"I heard that the Lei family of Kowloon Bus is planning to get involved in the film and television industry. There are also many underworld groups, such as the Xiang family, who want to enter the film and television industry to make money."

Zhang Shouchun curled his lips and said, "I don't care. The little money we sisters earn in Hong Kong is just a drop in the bucket compared to our Master Wang."

"It's only enough to buy some rouge and powder. As you get older, if you don't take care of yourself, you might end up having a mistress at home!"

Wang Deming frowned, "I say, that's enough."

"Who is the master? After all these years, don't you know him?"

"What I value most is the pure love between us!"

"No one else can compare to this!"

"Who knows?" Zhang Shouchun was still persistent, "80,000!" After playing a card, he said leisurely, "The Taiwanese actress named Lin Qingxia, and another one named Hu Yinmeng came to your house this afternoon."

Zhang Shouchun glanced at Wang Deming and said, "Two young girls, so tender and beautiful, have come to our house."

"I am old and ugly, shouldn't I give up my position?"

Wang Deming slapped his forehead and said, "Shouchun, why are you jealous?"

"They came to me for another reason."
