Chapter 420: How much sorrow can you have?
Xu Kun already knew the good news without asking, so he paid more attention to what Feng Xiaogang said about the interdependence of fortune and misfortune.
So on the way to send a few people to the hotel, Xu Kun specifically asked Feng Xiaogang who he had offended this time.
Could it be the group that advocates that the United States is invincible in the world?
But the United States itself has already admitted to the subprime mortgage crisis, right?
"There are those people, but they are not the focus."
As Feng Xiaogang spoke, he motioned to Xu Fan, who was sitting in the front passenger seat, to take out a large stack of newspaper clippings from his bag.
Xu Kun took it and looked at it. He saw some were cut from newspapers, some were cut from magazines, some were the size of tofu blocks, and some were long articles...
The central idea of these various articles is this: the current trend is that the East rises and the West falls, so the more the Americans are ruined, the better the situation will be here. If we don't add to our positions or enter the market now, we will miss the last train to financial freedom.
The most crucial thing is that many of these articles mentioned Xu, using his argument that China's economic rise has become the backbone of Asia and even the world to endorse the domestic stock market.
Even the person who successfully predicted the subprime mortgage crisis has said so. What are you still hesitating about? Rush in now!
Some articles even listed his life experiences in an extremely exaggerated manner, describing him as some kind of financial wizard.
Xu Kun broke out in a cold sweat after reading it.
What the hell is this?!
Even though he had never paid much attention to stocks in his previous life, he knew that there had been no improvement in the stock market, and it had basically been hovering around 3000 points.
Xu Kun turned around and asked Feng Xiaogang: "What is the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index at now?"
The one who answered him was Xu Fan in the front row: "It broke through 5000 points at the end of last month. Is it 5300 or 5400 points now?"
"After the subprime mortgage crisis, the market didn't fall?"
"It has fallen, otherwise it would have broken through 5000 points long ago."
"Haha~"
Feng Xiaogang pointed at the pile of newspaper clippings and sneered, "The people who wrote these articles were probably praising the United States a few months ago. Now they are suddenly speaking in unison, saying that the East is rising and the West is falling, and that grocery shopping aunts are defeating hedge funds. What do you think they want to do?"
This is also what Xu Kun found strange.
As we all know, financial practitioners are one of the groups that likes to advocate the West the most. Now they suddenly make a 180-degree turn. It can't be that they have a change of heart, right?
The most likely possibility is that they and the financial backers behind them were not mentally prepared for the coming of the subprime mortgage crisis and were not ready to withdraw from the leek field, so they hoped to fool more people into taking over at high prices.
When the time comes that the market makers run away and the stock market collapses, all that's left is a mess and the leeks have been cut off from their roots. Those "economists" who wrote the articles won't care, because not many people know them anyway.
But I have to rely on my face and fame to make a living!
If this resentment were to be vented on me, the so-called 'economic genius in the film industry'...
"no!"
If they weren't in the car, Xu Kun would have slammed the table and stood up. He gritted his teeth and said, "I have to clarify as soon as possible, otherwise I can't bear this blame!"
Xu Fan asked back, not agreeing: "But what if the stock market collapses after you clarify the matter? What if someone stirs up trouble and says it's because of you, and that you helped foreigners short the domestic stock market? What should we do then?"
"This……"
Xu Kun was at a loss.
I just wanted to use this thing as a gimmick to make a movie, why was it put on the fire for no reason?
At this time, Xu Fan comforted him: "In fact, the stock market may not necessarily plummet. There is nothing wrong with the saying that the east rises and the west falls."
This consolation had no effect at all. There is nothing wrong with the rise in the east and the fall in the west when it comes to other things, but when it comes to the stock market...
Xu Kun was in a dilemma along the way, and when he arrived at the hotel, Wang Zhonglei made things difficult for him again.
It turned out that Wang Zhonglei came here this time hoping to sign an agreement with Xu Kun to ensure that he could not sell Huayi's original shares at will within a certain period of time after Huayi went public.
This deadline is obviously longer than the others.
Wang Zhonglei pretended to be friendly and explained: "This is definitely not the company's intention to target you. The main reason is that you are now known as the 'entertainment economist'. If you sell off your shares too early, it may have a negative impact on the company.
Don't worry, the company will definitely not let you suffer any loss. The company will definitely compensate you for any loss you suffer from this from other sources."
It’s not that Xu Kun couldn’t understand why Huayi made such a decision.
But he still felt a little unhappy.
If I had predicted wrong, I would have just accepted the blow, but I predicted correctly, so why are all the news bad?
That night, he got off Ekaterina and thought about it for half the night, and finally decided to pour cold water on the stock market.
According to the current domestic trend, the banker should not have withdrawn yet, so even if he jumps out to pour cold water, the "rise in the East and decline in the West" rhetoric will not end in a short time.
As long as there is a period of buffer time, the situation in which investors are angry with him will be much better, and some rational investors will even be grateful to him.
As for what the bookmakers whose plans were affected think and do...
Xu Kun couldn't take care of it for a moment.
At any rate, it is better than becoming an accomplice who helps the banker to reap profits.
Xu Kun persuaded Wang Zhonglei again, so on September 9, the day when the Thai Film Authority was established, some entertainment newspapers were the first to publish his pessimistic predictions about the stock market.
As a result, that night, while he was drinking and chatting with the leader of the Thai Film Authority, he suddenly received a threatening phone call.
The other party asked him to immediately withdraw the relevant reports and preferably make a clarification to indicate that he did not say those words, otherwise he would suffer the consequences.
"Then come find me. I'm living at the XX military base in Thailand now."
After Xu Kun finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
It is impossible to withdraw the report, as that would only make him unpopular.
As for the other party's threats, Xu Kun thought that maybe he could stay in Thailand for a while longer - under the influence of the external environment, the evil fire of the stock market would not last long. After the collapse, it would not be too late to return home after seeing the wind direction.
However, even if Xu Kun had not withdrawn the report, there would have been only a handful of media outlets willing to report his pessimistic remarks, and only some of them could be seen on the Internet.
Naturally, the stock market was not affected much and is still rising steadily.
The good news is that financial media no longer use him as an example to prove that the East is rising and the West is falling and that A-shares are king.
Perhaps because they felt he posed no threat, there were no more threatening calls from the country. Xu Fan's previous worry that he would be singled out as a target naturally did not happen.
In addition, many Aikuns, inspired by their idols, have tried to persuade their families to withdraw from the stock market - although the success rate is not very high, after the stock market crashes, this incident will definitely further promote the centripetal force of the Aikuns.
10 month 16 day.
Half a month before the crew finished their training, the Shanghai Composite Index reached its historical high of 6109 points - the highest point in the original time and space was 6124 points. It can be seen that Xu still caused a little impact, or rather, an impact of more than ten points.
Since then, the stock market has begun to fluctuate downward.
On November 11, PetroChina went public and became the world's largest listed company by market value.
On November 11, the A-share market experienced Black Thursday and plummeted under the leadership of PetroChina.
How much sorrow can one have? Just like a full warehouse of PetroChina, this has become a popular hot topic this year.
However, the decline at that time was not that big or that rapid. What was really unbearable was 08. When the market opened in 08, the Shanghai Composite Index was still 5265 points, but by the end of the year it was only over 1600 points.
In comparison, the subsequent stock market crashes were child's play.
At the end of November when the stock market was in a slump, Xu Kun's previous pessimistic prediction was finally widely reported. Whether he likes it or not, his title as an entertainment industry economist is becoming more and more solid.
