Chapter 310 [End of the Monopoly Era! 】
On July 28, the Kowloon Stock Exchange was officially opened for trading of listed stocks.
On the first day of opening, the atmosphere is lively!
A long ‘human dragon’ appeared in front of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, and the business inside kept going on;
In the long and orderly long queue, many of them are familiar stock friends, and they started talking.
"Li Sheng, aren't you a regular customer of the Hong Kong Island Club? Why did you come here today to join in the fun?" A stock friend said to the person in front.
"Haha, Gao Sheng, it’s a good time to have a good time, don’t you come to join in the fun! Besides, the "Hong Kong Island Club" always speaks English non-stop, and I’m so uncomfortable listening to it! It’s better here, I heard it’s opened. Cantonese trading is just what I want!" Li Sheng turned around and said to stock friends.
"Yes, I heard that there is still a female market clerk! I just don't know if she looks pretty or not!" Gao Sheng said with a look of pig brother.
"Well, it doesn't matter whether we look pretty or not. We are here to buy stocks, not to see!" Li Sheng said sternly.
"You can't say that. The market makers are beautiful, and we will be in a good mood. The stocks we buy are also good stocks!"
A group of people watched the two discussing, they also joined in one after another, killing the waiting time.
The enthusiasm of stockholders shocked the management and members of the Hong Kong Island Club who came to watch the excitement. Why is this different from what I expected?
Although the stockholders are crowded, the good order of the Kowloon Stock Exchange shows that the management is very good!
And there is nothing wrong with doing this!
After the market closed in the afternoon, the Kowloon Stock Exchange announced that the trading volume on that day was as high as 1.56 million Hong Kong dollars;
And the stock transaction amount of the Hong Kong Island Club that day was only 2.51 million Hong Kong dollars;
The two seem to be quite different, but don’t forget that the Hong Kong Island Association has been established for decades and has dozens of members. These members have countless customers.
Therefore, the Kowloon Stock Exchange can be said to have achieved a complete success!
The success of the Kowloon Stock Exchange, in addition to its own strength, can also bring out the operation and operation of the "Hong Kong Island Association". Leadership will be at stake.
The next day, "Oriental Daily" took the lead in expressing its opinion:
[Title: Emerging forces are not a blow to the market, but to make the market run better!
"Oriental Daily" pointed out that the establishment of the'Kowloon Stock Exchange' broke the long-standing monopoly of the'Hong Kong Island Association';
The tide of historical development cannot be blocked and transferred by individual subjective wishes.
For the ‘Hong Kong Island Club’, the ‘Kowloon Club’ is obviously unwelcome. Although they want to ‘get rid of it quickly’, but they are powerless.
Traditional wisdom tells us that when a city gate blocking the way is torn down, there can never be only one soldier swarming up!
The birth of the'Kowloon Club' not only means the end of the era of monopoly, but also the beginning of the era of openness and competition. 】
Followed by various newspapers and periodicals, although they did not express positively whether the establishment of the'Kowloon Club' was good or bad, they at least made fair reports.
As an English-language newspaper, the South China Morning Post did not favor any party this time, but reported fairly:
【The establishment of the'Kowloon Club', apart from breaking the tradition that securities transactions and corporate fund-raising must be conducted through the'Hong Kong Island Club';
also proposed many innovative measures, such as conducting transactions in Cantonese, allowing many famous market makers to exit the market, and making an exception to accommodate female market makers, which opened up a new era for the development of Hong Kong Island’s financial and securities industry]
The Kowloon Club can achieve such a result as soon as it opens. An important factor is that the real estate industry has begun to flourish;
Property prices on Hong Kong Island have gradually picked up since the beginning of 1959. By July 1960, the price of high-end residential properties in Kowloon had recovered to 30 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, reaching about 75% of the pre-pump (40 Hong Kong dollars per square foot).
The land price on Hong Kong Island has gradually recovered since the beginning of 1959. By July 1960, the price of residential land in Kowloon had recovered to 50 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, which was about 80% of the pre-pump (60 Hong Kong dollars per square foot).
The price of general commercial land in the commercial area in the central area of the island has reached 250 Hong Kong dollars per square foot, which is more than three times higher than the 70 Hong Kong dollars per square foot in 1958.
Last year, the price of the Central District Land King was as high as about 550 Hong Kong dollars per square foot. Of course, the price of general commercial land is not indicative.
Property prices, land prices, and the stock market are closely related industries, so they are of great reference!
On the night of the opening of the Kowloon Club, Wu Guangyao hosted a celebration banquet at the Shangri-La Hotel;
In addition to encouraging everyone at the banquet, there were also many reminders and warnings.
Like walking on thin ice, it is the current situation of the Kowloon Club!
The stock exchange is not a trifling matter. Once there is a situation of ‘fake stocks’ and ‘using power for personal gain’, then everyone will fall into the abyss.
In the early morning, Wu Guangyao woke up from the presidential suite of Shangri-La Hotel. The first thing he did was to remove the octopus from his body and got up to the window.
Open the curtains and overlook the outside world, a sense of accomplishment emerges spontaneously.
"I guess, you must be very proud at this time, proud of your commercial achievements!"
Behind Wu Guangyao came the glutinous voice of Mrs. Shatton. Wu Guangyao turned around and found that Mrs. Shatton Chi Guoguo's body was exposed to the air; the lazy body, the beautiful face, and the inspiration on the chest Proudly, exuding fatal temptation.
"Put on the bathrobe, I don't want my woman to be seen by God in Chiguo's body!" Wu Guangyao commanded.
Mrs. Sarton showed a charming smile when she heard the words, and then put on a bathrobe obediently; this man is really domineering, but she really likes it!
"You haven't answered my question yet?" Madam Sarton got up and walked to Wu Guangyao, hugging Wu Guangyao from behind.
Wu Guangyao felt a restlessness, this woman is really a fairy!
Pulled Mrs. Sarton from her back into her arms, with her left arm around her soft waist, and her right finger pointing at the Victoria Harbour outside the window and the island on the opposite side.
"Hong Kong Island is a beautiful place. Conquering her is like conquering you. It is fascinating! Look at the building that is being built on the opposite side. Technology, and the most expensive materials; after completion, he will replace my Yangtze River Center and become a new landmark on Hong Kong Island."
"The tallest buildings on both sides are my property. Looking at each other in the air, isn't it a great thing in life!"
Mrs. Sarton listened to her own man’s words, feeling the same.
"Is that building the headquarters of Universal Group?"
Mrs. Sarton has done a lot of homework on Wu Guangyao’s industry recently. She believes that only Universal Group can be regarded as a world-class, even a world-class shipping hegemon, for Wu Guangyao’s enterprises on Hong Kong Island.
"Well, Universal Group controls the sea, land and air. It is the overlord of the sea, the eagle in the sky, and the tiger on the land. Naturally, they have to live in that building!"
The two cuddled for a while, and their stomachs began to protest. Yesterday, the battle between the two was encouraging; Wu Guangyao treated Mrs. Sutton as two women, and she was tortured enough.
However, Mrs. Shatton obviously enjoys this torture!
This man not only conquered her spiritually, but also conquered her physically.
"Let's go, let's go down to eat!"
The breakfast at Shangri-La Hotel is self-service. There are both Chinese and Western food. There are dozens of varieties and are well received by guests!
Ms. Sarton chose sausage, milk, bread, and eggs for breakfast. The calories are quite high!
Wu Guangyao's selection is even more exaggerated, sausage, bacon, steamed buns, soy milk, seafood fried rice.
Mrs. Sutton sees Wu Guangyao taking so much food, it is no wonder; because the body of her lover is full of power several times higher than normal, it is no wonder that so many women can still have the energy to tease themselves.
Mrs. Sutton naturally could see that Wu Guangyao had thoughts about herself at the beginning, but she was more reserved; in other words, she knew strategy and step by step let herself step into his trap.
While Wu Guangyao’s appetite for Mrs. Sutton is so good, he also takes it for granted that Mrs. Sutton is not the figure of a beautiful woman, but a plump European and American woman.
"Do you have a job today?" Mrs. Sutton said, her eyes looking expectant.
"No job is as important as you. Today, I will accompany you on Hong Kong Island to have a good time!" Wu Guangyao came with a local love story.
Mrs. Sarton was really happy and said: "Great! But you have work that needs to be dealt with urgently, and I am willing to wait for you too!"
"Don't worry! I have a set of my own management methods, which can release a lot of my energy!"
After breakfast, it was only after 7 o'clock, the two went to the park and beach downstairs to take a walk.
On the difference between Shangri-La Hotel on Hong Kong Island and the Ritz-Carlton Hotel:
Shangri-La’s design is characterized by a fresh garden view and a lobby full of Asian culture; while the Ritz-Carlton Hotel has a European and American romantic and extremely luxurious style.
In terms of service, the two are both owned by the same hotel management company. Naturally, there is no big difference; but the management and staff of Shangri-La Hotel, Asians account for more than 80%; and the entire management of the Ritz-Carlton Hotel is moved from the United States. Yes, the staff also has a considerable number of Europeans and Americans, and Europeans and Americans account for more than 50%.
Both have their own exclusive beaches, swimming pools, gardens, etc., but the recreational facilities of Shangri-La Hotel are very complete. It is a paradise for young people and children. The Ritz Hotel has an open-air large cafe, which is popular among residents. Guest welcome.
