"Our company does indeed invest in this area," Andai'er said. "I believe that the field of digital currency, with future economic development, should continue to shine brightly."
"Miss Andai'er must be joking, right?" Before Su Yi could answer, a young man next to him replied, "A currency without national credit endorsement, isn't it just speculative chips? I believe the 'Tulip Mania' event of the last century is the future of the digital currency market. These so-called virtual currencies, previously hyped by a small number of investors in the financial market, are fundamentally worthless in terms of actual purchasing power.
Once there are no subsequent investors to continue the speculative relay in this game of passing the buck, the market tide will recede very quickly. In fact... over the past six months or so, the digital currency market has collapsed to the point of being almost ignored."
"Mr. Mòlǐsī's judgment on this is a bit too arbitrary, isn't it?"
Andai'er carefully sized up the other person, and seeing that he was a trader from 'UBS International', she couldn't help but smile and say.
"It's not that I'm arbitrary," Mòlǐsī said with a smile, "but rather, this thing is inherently created by programs continuously, and it hasn't formed a consensus in the global financial sector, nor does it possess the attributes of free currency circulation.
And Miss Andai'er doesn't need to rush to question my judgment and ability. Regarding 'digital currency', it can be said... that the time I've spent with it, and my depth of understanding, are likely far more than Miss Andai'er imagines."
"I, on the other hand, think that the field of digital currency still has great potential in the future." After a pause, Su Yi replied, "However, forming a relatively large market consensus is still quite difficult."
"Will CEO Su's company consider investing in this area in the future?" Andai'er continued to ask with a smile.
Su Yi replied: "It might in the future, but currently... there are definitely no plans for it."
"Then I hope we will have opportunities for cooperation in the future." Andai'er smiled and extended her hand to Su Yi again.
Su Yi smiled, shook her hand, and said: "I hope so."
After that, the two exchanged contact information and chatted for a few more moments, before Su Yi was once again surrounded by the gathered party guests at the center of the crowd.
"CEO Su, I hear that your company's 'Huayi Expedition No. 1' fund product also surged against the trend in the first half of this year." Among the crowd, Zhang Lixian, General Manager of Hong Kong's 'Laier Investment Company', said with a smile, "CEO Su's abilities in the financial market are truly exceptional in both stocks and foreign exchange. I wonder how you judge the future stock market trends, and which of the three major markets—A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and US stocks—you are more optimistic about for the future?"
Su Yi glanced at Zhang Lixian indifferently, and seeing the expectant looks in everyone's eyes around him regarding this question, he smiled and replied: "The three major markets—A-shares, Hong Kong stocks, and US stocks—each have their own market ecology and cyclical structure, and cannot be generalized.
Furthermore, a bear market does not necessarily mean there are no good investment opportunities. A bull market does not necessarily guarantee profits either.
I have always believed that the most fundamental research object and investment principle in stock investment is to invest in companies, and to invest in the reversal of market expectations and operating performance. Truly excellent companies are definitely capable of navigating both bull and bear markets.
Of course, due to different market liquidity in bull and bear markets, the number of investment opportunities will certainly vary. But as long as one grasps the fundamental investment logic and focuses on research into companies and businesses, even in a bear market with relatively poor liquidity, there should still be gains to be made."
"CEO Su, currently there are many investors in the market who hope to subscribe to your company's fund products." A young man Su Yi didn't quite recognize asked, "I wonder if your company currently has any plans to issue new fund products?"
Su Yi replied: "I am very grateful that investors trust us, but our company currently has no plans to issue new fund products. Of course, if we do plan to issue new fund products and raise funds publicly in the future, our company will certainly make an announcement to everyone in a compliant and legal manner. I also hope that at that time... the vast number of investors in the market will continue to trust our company and actively subscribe to our fund products."
"CEO Su, the next six months will see the start of the US election cycle." Another person asked, "Will your company intervene in the US stock market, or rather, the USD exchange rate market, during the election cycle in the second half of the year?"
Su Yi said: "There are no such plans at present."
"CEO Su, after this round of the UK Brexit referendum concluded, last Saturday, the British Prime Minister publicly announced on television that he had decided to resign due to fault." Zhang Lixian, who had spoken before, asked again, "I wonder what CEO Su thinks about this matter, and what is your view on the future economic direction of the UK after leaving the EU, as well as the economic direction of Europe?"
Su Yi said: "Undoubtedly, this round of 'Brexit referendum' will have an extremely profound impact on the overall economic development of the EU, as well as the future economic trajectory of the UK.
However, I believe the most fundamental factors influencing the economic direction of the EU and the UK are the comprehensive manifestation of the global economy and the performance of global market supply and demand, which are even more important.
In fact, I believe the impact of the 2008 financial crisis has not completely passed in the performance of many major global economies.
Many central banking institutions, in resolving the crisis, only used monetary means, or other financial means, to delay the spread and outbreak of risk. However, until the internal financial industry structure is completely changed, the delayed risks will eventually erupt again one day.
Of course, from an overall perspective, I still believe that the global economy, over the long term, has consistently been on a trend of growth and recovery."
"Then Mr. Su, where do you think the investment market with the greatest potential in the future will be?" Mòlǐsī, the trader from 'UBS International' who had previously argued with Andai'er, asked.
Su Yi said with a smile: "I believe the most potential-rich investment market is definitely still the A-share market. In the future, with the rise of our country's national strength and the continuous high-quality development of its economy, more and more high-quality listed companies will emerge in the A-share market. There will certainly be many good investment opportunities within it."
"Then in the future, will CEO Su's investment focus be on the foreign exchange market of the global financial market, or on the A-share market?" Mòlǐsī continued to ask.
Su Yi replied: "The stock market and the foreign exchange market are two separate markets, and there is no antagonistic relationship between them. I don't believe one must prioritize or disdain either market."
"CEO Su, could you share your insights from this round of British pound exchange rate investment?"
"Does CEO Su think that other EU economies will follow suit after the UK's Brexit referendum? Will the future EU economy face the risk of disintegration?"
"What is CEO Su's view on the future of the Euro?"
"According to CEO Su, if many global economies have not yet escaped the impact of the 2008 financial crisis, does it mean that spot gold will return to a bull market pattern in the long-term trend?"
"I heard that your company's 'Huayi Expedition No. 1' fund product has heavily invested in the baijiu and new energy sectors. Is CEO Su very optimistic about the future development of these two major industries? What is your view on the Qianzhou Maotai stock? Are you optimistic about the future of new energy vehicles?"
As the evening progressed...
More and more people asked Su Yi questions, and more and more questions and topics revolved around Su Yi.
Moreover, as Su Yi became the central focus of attention, for a time, even the 'friends' around Wang Huaijin grew in number.
And Wang Huaijin was also happy to enjoy such an atmosphere.
Amidst everyone's efforts to befriend and flatter him, he tried his best to expand his network.
Of course, at this moment, he was also truly grateful to Su Yi.
If it weren't for Su Yi's immense success, if 'Huayi Capital's' investment track record in the British pound exchange rate market this round hadn't been so spectacular, shocking the entire domestic financial and investment circles, he wouldn't be enjoying this glory today.
"General Manager Wang, I remember you're a local of Hong Kong, aren't you?"
Zheng Qingyue, Executive President of Hong Kong's 'Hongxin Capital' company, heard Wang Huaijin's strong local accent and said with a smile.
"Yes." Wang Huaijin nodded. "President Zheng has a good memory. I remember three years ago, I even applied for a job at your 'Hongxin Capital', but unfortunately, your company's threshold was too high for me to reach."
"General Manager Wang, you're joking." Hearing Wang Huaijin's words, Zheng Qingyue let out an awkward laugh. "Our company is too small a temple to accommodate a great Buddha like you."
"How could I be considered a great Buddha?" Wang Huaijin chuckled and said, "I'm just following CEO Su to make a living."
"General Manager Wang, you're being too modest." Zheng Qingyue chuckled, "As far as I know, the Hong Kong branch of 'Huayi Capital' was essentially a team built by General Manager Wang from scratch. And your capabilities in collecting and processing market news and intelligence during this round of the long-short battle for the British pound exchange rate have been witnessed by all.
Let's not mention past matters; we'll only talk about the future. We just hope that when there are significant investment opportunities in the future, General Manager Wang can recommend our 'Hongxin Capital' institution to CEO Su. Our institution is also sincerely hoping to cooperate with CEO Su in the future."
The two major institutions that collaborated with 'Huayi Capital', headed by Su Yi, were 'Huayin International' and 'Anben Asset Evolution No. 1 Main Hedge Fund'.
They both made significant profits in this round of the long-short battle over the British pound exchange rate.
Especially when the news spread that the two major institutions, 'Huayin International' and 'Anben Asset Evolution No. 1 Main Hedge Fund', had made billions of dollars in profit.
Within today's financial circles, many capital institutions that missed this round of short-selling speculation opportunities in the British pound exchange rate...
Who wouldn't be envious?
Su Yi can now receive so much flattery and make so many connections within the industry.
A major reason is that ever since Su Yi rose to prominence, those who followed him in trading and investing, whether individual investors, hot money, or institutions, all made significant profits.
This ability to not only make money oneself but also enable those who follow to make substantial profits alongside him.
Who wouldn't envy that? Who wouldn't want to befriend him?
After all, based on Su Yi's past historical investment track record, as long as one could establish a deep cooperative relationship with 'Huayi Capital',
then it would be equivalent to obtaining a ticket to significant future profits in the financial market.
"No problem." Wang Huaijin smiled and replied, "President Zheng, rest assured, the next time there's a similar investment opportunity, I will certainly recommend your institution for cooperation to CEO Su."
"Then many thanks, General Manager Wang." Zheng Qingyue chuckled, then quickly leaned close to Wang Huaijin's ear and whispered, "Rest assured, as long as our institution can establish close cooperation with yours, and we can jointly trade in future investment projects, General Manager Wang's benefits will not be few."
Hearing this, Wang Huaijin quickly coughed, his expression slightly displeased, and said earnestly: "President Zheng, you really underestimate me. I promised to recommend your institution for cooperation to CEO Su if an opportunity arises in the future, firstly because I value your institution's reputation and financial strength, and secondly because I believe President Zheng has a good reputation in the industry and is a trustworthy person; there are no other ulterior motives.
If President Zheng thinks I'm seeking personal gain, then you truly underestimate me. CEO Su has truly shown me great kindness and appreciation. All my considerations for work are based on the company's interests; there will be no other selfish motives."
Zheng Qingyue was somewhat surprised by Wang Huaijin's words.
He had originally thought that Su Yi, being young, despite his outstanding investment and trading capabilities in the financial market, would surely have some oversights in company operations and personnel management.
He hadn't expected... that his chosen chief executive would truly be utterly devoted to him and act solely for the company's interests.
"My apologies, General Manager Wang." Zheng Qingyue gave an awkward smile, "It was indeed my narrow-mindedness."
"It's alright." Wang Huaijin's expression immediately returned to normal. "This is our first formal meeting, so it's normal that we don't know each other well. I just hope that some of the things President Zheng said today won't be repeated in the future, to avoid misunderstandings and affecting our friendship."
"Haha..." After hearing Wang Huaijin's words, Zheng Qingyue burst into laughter and couldn't help but praise him, "General Manager Wang truly has a broad perspective; no wonder CEO Su trusts you so much."
As Wang Huaijin thrived in making friends and expanding his network at the party,
time continued to advance.
At 8 PM, the financial gala, led by the Hong Kong government, gradually reached its climax.
Meanwhile, the late-arriving big figures from Hong Kong's political and business circles also showed up to support the event, adding considerable prestige and even greater popularity to the financial gala.
Of course, after these prominent figures arrived,
everyone's gaze, though somewhat dispersed, still remained primarily focused on Su Yi.
It was as if this financial gala, led by the Hong Kong government, was specifically a celebration banquet set up for him, a special evening for the local political and business communities to express their goodwill.
