Chapter 176: Get a "pile" of gold

In early September, "The Rescuers" was released in North America, causing quite a stir. The sensation came partly from the movie itself, but also from the residual enthusiasm of Zhang Yi who had not caused a sensation in the first place.

The style of the movie is undoubtedly more palatable to Westerners, especially its action and narrative mode. However, within its first week of release, it failed to continue the miracle created by Zhang Yi's "Resident Evil" in North America and topped the box office list. However, it ranked first at the box office.

With a slight advantage, it entered the top five in the North American box office list.

For a Hong Kong film, this result is quite impressive. But what is unexpected is that it suddenly showed strength in the second week and achieved the third place in the weekly box office list by a slight advantage.

Prior to this, "The Rescuers" was released in Hong Kong and lived up to expectations by taking in a box office of 50 million yuan, becoming the first movie in Hong Kong to break the 50 million box office record, and also becoming the most popular film in Hong Kong.

This achievement made countless people envious and jealous. For this reason, Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao of Debao Company immediately held a grand celebration banquet. However, Zhang Yi did not attend the banquet. At this time, he was paying attention to foreign exchange day and night.

market.

By August, Reagan's carefully planned comprehensive deceleration policy was introduced. Then the plan to increase U.S. military spending was approved by the U.S. Congress. Orders flew from the U.S. Pentagon to various U.S. military-industrial enterprises. The U.S. economy continued to grow in defense orders.

The rapid growth and the dual stimulus of its tax cut policy immediately spread to the financial market.

In the major foreign exchange markets in New York, Tokyo and European countries, the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against other currencies in the world has risen across the board, and the stock market has been rising like a bull with enough energy. The U.S. economy is doing well. Countless foreign investors have mobilized funds.

flock to the U.S. market.

But at this time, Zhang Yi knew that the bubble was getting bigger and bigger, and the time for bursting was getting closer and closer.

September 6, 1985. This is a Sunday. The box office results of "The Rescue" in North America have not yet been announced, and the celebration party for Pan Disheng and Hong Jinbao is still being prepared. The U.S. Treasury Secretary and the Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, as well as the British and French

, the finance ministers and central bank governors of the five countries of Germany and Japan held a meeting at the Plaza Hotel in New York.

In the conference room, the participants negotiated remotely and decided to jointly stop interfering in the international financial market and adjust the dollar that had risen too high. The agreement reached was the famous "Hiroshima Hotel Agreement"!

At this time, it was already the morning of Monday, September 7, across Asia. At this time, Zhang Yi was already buying a large amount of Japanese yen.

In the following week, Zhang Yi could not calm down. He could not even calm down when practicing boxing every morning regardless of rain or shine. He was always excited.

When Britain and the United States and other five countries implemented financial controls, the US dollar immediately depreciated, and Japan and the mark rose. This immediately attracted the attention of many people. A subsequent report immediately caused a huge storm in Hong Kong.

In August, after the United States introduced tax cuts and increased national defense spending, Zhang Yi published a comment on the economy in Ming Pao. However, not many people paid attention. Those who saw it thought it was a person with the same name.

This report did not mention the Zhang Yi report, but also reported that Zhang Yi raised 1.5 billion Hong Kong dollars a few months ago and gambled all his wealth on foreign exchange speculation. Now, the foreign exchange market is as volatile as Zhang Yi

As expected, how much money did he get from this foreign exchange fluctuation?

The foreign exchange market involves the stock market and the futures market. If used properly, it can be several times, more than ten times, or even dozens of times. If it is dozens of times, then Zhang Yi is undoubtedly worth tens of billions now.

He has a net worth of tens of billions, and he is still a 19-year-old boy. A boy who has only started from scratch in two or three years. A talented man. A rich man. If this is true, he is still a rich man now, he is simply the God of Wealth.

Zhang Yi was originally a legendary figure in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia. Now, his net worth has skyrocketed instantly, and his legendary character is even more talked about.

Zhang Yi earns millions or tens of millions from one movie, which is like robbing a bank in the eyes of others. Now, compared with this foreign exchange speculation, he is simply weak.

As soon as this report came out, it was reprinted by countless media and spread to Southeast Asia. People are speculating how much Zhang Yi made from this foreign exchange? What is his net worth now? But no matter how much he made,

It is estimated that his net worth is at the level of a tycoon in Hong Kong.

On February 6, 1986, the Hong Kong Economic Journal ranked the top ten financial groups in Hong Kong. The four listed companies of the Cheung Kong Group ranked first with a market value of more than HK$34 billion.

If Zhang Yi really made dozens of times from foreign exchange this time, dozens of times 1.5 billion, how much would that be? Maybe, maybe, he is probably already the richest man in Hong Kong.

No one can have an accurate figure, not even Zhang Yi. He only knows that he made a lot of money this time. They say they made the "first pot of gold", but Zhang Yi used foreign exchange this time to make a lot of money.

Jin can no longer be described as a "bucket". What he fished out was simply a pile, a lot!

After reading the economic commentary written by Zhang Yi, many people who dismissed it or did not pay attention to it immediately regretted it. But there is no regret medicine in this world.

Money is sometimes a bargaining chip for status. There is no doubt that Zhang Yi's net worth has skyrocketed this time, and his status has also risen. Even if he is not qualified to be on an equal footing with the older generation of Hong Kong tycoons, he has at least attracted their attention.

Especially the Huo family.

The relationship between Zhang Yi and the Huo family has always been very delicate. The young lady of the Huo family studied Kung Fu under Zhang Yi, and the Huo family’s son Huo Zhenyu and Zhang Yi have partnered in many businesses. But these are all cooperations between the younger generations. The elders of the Huo family

It was just out of laissez-faire. When I gave Zhang Yi face, it was mostly because of the face of Zhao Chenxi, the Hongmen boss. But now, my attitude towards Zhang Yi has to change.

When "The Rescue" opened with a box office of 60 million in North America, Zhang Yi's focus shifted from the foreign exchange market to the film market.

Practicing martial arts and making movies are what Zhang Yi is interested in. As for making money, Zhang Yi likes to make money with money, not people.

Now that he has money, Zhang Yi naturally has no shortage of people to make money for him. He has to do everything by himself, so he probably deserves to be exhausted just like Zhuge Liang.

Some people make money in order to live. And some people live just to make money. Zhang Yi obviously does not live to make money, nor will he only make money.

Of course, money is never too much. But it’s not like you do anything specifically for more money. Making money is not the goal, it’s just a means to achieve the goal.

The post-production of "Face" has been completed, but there is no rush to release it. Several consecutive box-office hits have consumed too much of the Hong Kong film market's consumption potential. Therefore, its release is scheduled for late November.

There are three other works related to Zhang Yi. "Rush Hour" co-produced with Jiahe has entered post-production, and "Charlie's Angels" co-produced with Yuan Heping has also completed filming and entered post-production.

"My Sassy Girl" starring Zhou Huimin has been produced before "Face/Off" and has been completed. After all, this movie does not have any big scenes, so the filming is naturally much faster. And its schedule is also ranked next to "Face/Off"

Before, at the end of October.

"Thirty million! So much?" Hong Jinbao looked at the check handed over by Zhang Yi and was a little shocked. Then he looked at Zhang Yi and said, "Ayi, how much did you earn in the foreign exchange market this time?"

"Haha, Brother Sanmao. Your funds are too small and your time is too short. I can't possibly give you the proportion of my earnings." Zhang Yi smiled and said.

"You know what I don't mean." Hong Jinbao said angrily. Then he was stunned. He gave Zhang Yi five million, and now he got 30 million in a short period of time. That is, it increased six times, and the net profit was five times.

.And from what Zhang Yi said just now, it seems that he earned more than this multiple.

Just calculate it as six times. Six times of 1.5 billion, that’s nine billion! Hong Jinbao looked at Zhang Yi with his mouth open and he didn’t know what to say.

Envy, jealousy, and hate? There is envy! There is definitely jealousy! Of course, there is no hatred. In a short period of time, I have earned more than 20 million, and I have not done anything. It is too late to thank you for such a good thing, why?

Maybe hate it!

"Ayi, tell me honestly, how much did you earn this time? Are you now the richest man in Hong Kong as rumored by the outside world?" Hong Jinbao came back to his senses and asked quickly, looking at Zhang Yi with great expectation.

, waiting for his answer.
