After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

"Liu Cixin Scared Away!"

"7.2 Billion Hong Kong Dollars Paid in One Go!"

"Tianxing Financial Group Settles in Xiangjiang!"

Xiangjiang is not big, with an area of only 1,114 square kilometers, 100 square kilometers smaller than Modu's Puxin District.

Perhaps there hasn't been someone as influential as Lu Liang in a long time, who sees the potential in Xiangjiang's market development.

After all, besides high property prices and being the only financial port in mainland China, Xiangjiang in various aspects is outdone by neighboring Shenzhen.

As a result, near noon, within the first hour after the joint press conference of both parties ended, even the vendors in Street East City were discussing the matter.

But when chatting about Lu Liang, talking about Tianxing Finance might just be incidental, because before the midday trading break, the Hang Seng Index was up 4.64%, successfully closing above 27,000 points.

Lu Liang once again proved with strength that he is the undisputed uncrowned king in the financial market.

At the same time, 82nd floor of Phase 2 of Plaza Building, Tianxing Quantitative Fund conference room.

Lu Liang looked at Tang Caide: "Mr. Tang, the follow-ups on Zhixiang Building are in your hands."

Though the change in property rights was completed, there are still many small and medium-sized enterprises inside, so they gave Huaren Real Estate three months to clear out.

However, during this period, they won't just wait idly by, they will first tidy up the vacant floors as temporary offices, repair the floors as needed, and change the facade when necessary.

The aim is to have everything arranged properly by February next year, when Tianxing III's private placement settlement concludes, the financial operations on Modu's side will be completely concluded.

Tianxing Financial Group will also officially set sail.

During the conversation, Xu Jiawei knocked and entered, smiling apologetically at them, then walked to Lu Liang's side and whispered: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Chen wants to invite you for afternoon tea."

"What time?"

Lu Liang, with a smile, fully understands Chen Jiebin's intentions, as he hasn't asked Sun Yutao to use hidden funding channels.

Anyone with a bit of resources, once they discover a reduction in southbound capital flow, and investigate further, should be able to discern who's cashing out.

Lu Liang can already imagine, once the news leaks, he will definitely be heavily criticized, and labeled as a villain by the masses.

Despite having just praised the Xiangjiang financial market, his real intent was to cash out at a high position.

Unsurprisingly, criticisms naming him as a deceitful person, a villainous rogue, and like terms will come flooding in.

As a supporter for their entry into Xiangjiang, even currently bearing the infamy of scaring off Liu Cixin, Chen Jiebin will also be implicated.

"Three o'clock!" Xu Jiawei replied.

"Tell Director Chen to change it to half past four, just say I'm busy with something."

Lu Liang maintained his smile; the Hong Kong stock market closes at four, and the following two days are the weekend, allowing the message to ferment better.

Once validation is complete and conclusions drawn, then indeed his visit to Xiangjiang is aimed at ruling the market.

A ruler doesn't need friends, just the subjugation of the populace; bearing a bit of infamy is acceptable.

After all, there will still be a show of rising against adversity later, his superior market positioning will remain unshakeable.

Xu Jiawei nodded and prepared to leave.

Suddenly, he was called back by Lu Liang: "Contact Li Zhikai, have him initiate a cooperation deal between Tianxing Finance and Huaren Real Estate, or make up some reason to hold a cocktail party tonight, just say I want to meet these powerful families."

Having completed the main task, letting the dust settle, and handling some trivial matters, like Li Zhikai's brother, Li Zheju, the current leader of Cheung Shing Group.

According to Xu Jiawei's investigation, both brothers haven't conducted misdeeds in Lu Liang's name; only that Li Zheju intends to forge alliances with people seeking access to Lu Liang without success.

If Lu Liang continues to ignore it and focus his career internationally, in due time, Chen Jiebin's concerns might indeed come true.

While the Big D Club represented by Uncle Tong and Liu Cixin has perished, a new organization using his name led by the Li Brothers might rise.

"Alright, Mr. Lu."

Xu Jiawei left, Lu Liang turned to Liang Wenhu, smiling as he asked: "Mr. Liang, is the AI quantitative model ready for deployment?"

Upon receiving a definite answer, Lu Liang squinted his eyes and said: "First put it into operation in the Hong Kong stock market this afternoon, input bearish trending instructions, keep 30 billion US Dollars on account, let's throw in all 170 billion US Dollars."

He not only wanted to profit from going long but also short to earn more; however, whether it's long or short, it's all about disrupting the market.

Lu Liang wants to validate the country's attitude as well as the Xiangjiang Financial Management Office's stance; whether they will ignore his market manipulation.

If they choose to ignore, then all his previous conjectures are correct, and the next step should be targeting HSBC.

On first arrival to a distinguished place, strike with impact, attack the toughest challenge first.

By hitting HSBC's authority, he can also establish Tianxing Finance's position in the Xiangjiang market.

Lu Liang believes this is also what the country is willing to see.

Before the return, HSBC was already the head of British capital, with two-thirds of Xiangjiang's financial market under its grip.

After the return, a monopoly market was forcibly split into three, namely Bank of China, HSBC, and Standard Chartered.

HSBC's discontent isn't recent, it only leaked Hays' documents last month, leading to Meng Wanqiu's arrest.

The masses always support whoever wins, or who seems likely to win.

First make the British capital head scramble, then those underlings will have varying thoughts.

When the time comes, whether initially rebelling or such switchers, Lu Liang will accept them all, and then teach them step by step later.

"Mr. Li, assist wherever necessary, let's arrange it like this for now."

Lu Liang finally instructed Li Junwei, concluded the meeting, and headed to the innermost office in the company.

"Mr. Li, this is quite good."

Tang Caide glanced at Li Junwei, lightly smiled, and tidied up the documents on the table.

She noticed several times Li Junwei wanted to ask, almost uttering the pronunciation of "what," but then forcibly swallowed it back.

Quite good, as long as he can suppress his questions without doubting Lu Liang's decisions, it means their collaboration is destined not to be short-lived.

"Mr. Lu, what is the purpose of this?" Li Junwei smiled bitterly, unable to understand Lu Liang's intentions, leaving him frustrated.

"I don't know."

Tang Caide shook her head with a smile, thought for a moment, then said: "Chat with Mr. Sun more, you might gain something."

Having said that, she greeted Liang Wenhu, and set off for Zhixiang Building; working under Lu Liang entails less thinking, more action.

Anyway, when it's time to use their minds, Lu Liang will notify them in advance, as for ordinary days, they just do as he says.

Li Junwei watched Tang Caide's departing figure, then looked at Liang Wenhu: "Mr. Liang, aren't you curious?"

"Huh?" Liang Wenhu snapped out of it, absent-mindedly: "If there's nothing more, I'll be leaving."

Huanfang Technology received a 1.5 billion US Dollar dividend, now his thoughts are no longer on other matters.

Just wants to get the quantitative model deployed, then return to Hang City and focus on researching the AI larger model.

Liang Wenhu also left, Li Junwei helplessly sighed: "Maybe the person who most needs to change is me."

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the Hong Kong stock market reopened.

Using traditional character trading software, one would see the entire market, the three board segments, picturing a scene as if within a national forest.

A glance reveals lush greenery, of the city's 9,820 stocks, those declining number less than three digits, with a rise rate of 98.5%, reflecting strong profitability.

However, as time progresses, the number of stocks turning red increases, and the market shows an exaggerated open-high-close-low trend, almost covering the entire Hong Kong stock market.

"Why?"

"What the hell happened?"

"A promised bull market, yet as soon as I increased my position, it targets my meager account?"

"Isn't Tianxing Financial Group settling in Xiangjiang supposed to be a great positive news?"

At 3:30, with only thirty minutes left until today's and this week's closing, the Hong Kong market's rising and declining stocks have reached half and half.

The morning's surge is no longer present, panic spreads throughout the market, as if hit by a massive bearish force.

It also awakens some old stock investors' dusty memories; they still recall October 23, 1997, when the Hang Seng Index declined by 10.4%, resulting in many deaths.

At 3:40, in the last twenty minutes before close.

Penguin Group, SMIC, HSBC Holdings, and many other leading stocks couldn't sustain, turning red.

The entire market, across three trading boards, exhibited an extremely exaggerated, vast coverage super high-dive.

In the morning, of the city's 9,820 stocks, less than three digits were declining. But at this time, the rising stocks were less than three digits.

The staggering drop from heaven to hell caught countless investors off guard.

They were bewildered, unaware of what happened, only knowing their account assets were dwindling.
